Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 384

Yuan Xi opened his mouth, and most of the people in the city and the city thumped in their hearts, something bad happened.

Yuan Xi's words contained so much information that Yuan Yao didn't realize it at first. When he thought about it, a murderous look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Qiao Rui and said, "Mr. Qiao, who is this person?"

Qiao Rui showed bitterness, "This is the fierce tiger of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi."

"Oh?" Yuan Yao listened, and said with a smirk: "I heard that Mr. Qiao was captured by him, and he released him again. Didn't he mention any conditions?"

"It seems that Qiaogong and him are quite speculative."

Qiao Rui's body was stiff, and he smiled wryly, "The last general has a clear conscience."

Yuan Yao laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Qiao Rui on the shoulder, and said, "I believe what Mr. Qiao said."

"This kind of crude alienation is too lame."

"However," Yuan Yao's face turned cold, "Why is this fierce tiger in Huaicheng?"

"He said he married the noble daughter of Marquis Wen, what happened?"

Seeing that Zhang Xunqiaorui shook his head to express his ignorance, Yuan Yao looked at Yuan Xi at the top of the city, and said proudly, "You have been quite a vicious tiger from the Yuan family in recent years?"

Yuan Xi straightened his body a little, and said with a smile: "It's too much to call a fierce tiger. In terms of seniority, you can call me elder brother, and in terms of official position, you can call me envoy."

Yuan Yao choked, he had also heard that Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Xi to Yuan Ji's branch, and Yuan Ji was Yuan Shu's biological brother!
When Yuan Shu heard the news that day, he was so angry that he almost smashed the whole house. In Yuan Shu's eyes, Yuan Shu's behavior was simply breaking Yuan Shu's foundation. How could he admit it?

Because for Yuan Shu, this matter was extremely disgusting from the beginning to the end, full of operations that made Yuan Shu extremely uncomfortable.

Yuan Shao was originally the bastard son of a maidservant girl, but by accident, he became the first son of Yuan Cheng through adoption.

Yuan Cheng's seniority was higher than that of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's biological father, Yuan Pang, so Yuan Shao became the head of the Yuan family and had the right to preside over the children of the adoptive family.

Moreover, Yuan Ji, who was adopted by Yuan Xi, was the highest among the three Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. In this way, Yuan Xi became the most senior of the Yuan family's generation, and Yuan Yao always called him elder brother when they met each other!
Yuan Yao was naturally reluctant. He rolled his eyes and said, "The title of Fierce Tiger was given by Yuan Jizhou. It seems that it has not been approved by the Han court, right?"

Yuan Xi laughed, "We Yuan family members know each other well, so the second brother should stop laughing at the eldest brother."

"Our branch in Jizhou still supports the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Gonggong probably doesn't think so?"

Yuan Yao saw that Yuan Shu's underpants would be exposed if he continued talking, he hurriedly said, "It's useless to talk!"

"I am under the order of my father to marry the noble daughter of Marquis Wen. Why does the fierce tiger speak lies?"

Yuan Xi laughed: "It's a joke, you just marry if you say you want to marry?"

"Did Marquis Wen agree?"

"Has Liuli left?"

"I also said that the marriage is over!"

Yuan Yao was furious, "I didn't take the six rituals, did you just leave?"

Yuan Xi was triumphant, "Of course, I have already paid the dowry!"

Lu Bu's subordinates who knew the inside story all hid their faces. On the same day, Yuan Xi sent Chen Gui to negotiate peace and gave many gifts. They didn't say it was a betrothal gift at the time, did they?

As for the betrothal gift, Lu Bu had already kicked him out at that time!

Are you so shameless, putting gold on your face?
But now that Marquis Wen is not here, none of the generals of Lu Bu's department in the city will jump out to object without looking. They can only watch Yuan Xi perform on the top of the city.

Yuan Yao gritted his teeth in the city, he didn't really care what Wen Hou's daughter was like.

He will be the eldest son of the emperor in the future, and when Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor, Lu will no longer be useful, so he can just divorce Lu Bu's daughter, but right now he needs this title to tie Lu Bu to Yuan Shu's boat.

So no matter what the situation in the city is, he will never give up.

Yuan Xi, the leader of the city, said more and more proudly, "Looking at my younger brother's face, he is also a person with a bright future, so why bother me to grab my wife?"

"If one daughter does not marry two husbands, the younger brother can retreat quickly, so as not to hurt the harmony of the two parties."

Yuan Yao became angry, "Can you represent Marquis Wen?"

He pointed to the people in the city, "Why is the Yuan family in Jizhou in the city, can you give me a satisfactory reason?"

Lv Bu's generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not to mention whether the marriage between Lv Bu's daughter and Yuan Xi would be possible, but there was Hao Meng's rebellion before, and it would definitely not be possible to marry Yuan Shu.

Chen Gong immediately said: "Marquis Wen has already made arrangements for the affairs in the city, I hope you will retreat."

Seeing Yuan Xi's look of success, Yuan Yao said angrily, "Okay!"

"It seems that Marquis Wen has long since betrayed his promise!"

He turned to Zhang Xunqiaorui and said, "Siege the city!"

Lu Bu is not in the city now, this is a great opportunity, when he captures Huaicheng, kidnaps his wife, and forces her to submit, Lu Bu will definitely give in!
As for the fierce tiger, Yuan Yao's face suddenly darkened.

Just kill it!
Zhang Xunqiaorui heard this, and began to order the soldiers to set up the siege equipment. The soldiers were carrying earth bags and were ready to rush down the city wall at any time. When Lu Bu's generals saw it, they quickly ordered people to mount the top of the city to defend, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

Yuan Xi took his personal guards and walked to the edge of the city wall that he was in charge of. He occupied an arrow hole, looked out, and found that Yuan Shu's soldiers were quite well-equipped. Big defeat, every time is the same as nothing.

Look at others, then look at yourself, those who are short of major generals really want to fight a battle of prosperity.

He was tuning the bowstring when Lu Lingqi's voice came from behind, "So those jewels that were sent that day were my betrothal gifts?"

"You have a good plan. The dowry will be my dowry, and then I will send it back. After coming and going, it will return to your hands, right?"

Yuan Xi broke out in a cold sweat. Turning around, he saw Lu Lingqi wearing an ordinary armor and a small soldier's iron helmet. If he didn't look carefully, he really wouldn't recognize her.

Yuan Xi thought to himself that Lu Bu was not in the city, and Lu Lingqi was herding sheep, she dared to run to the top of the fighting city!
He hurriedly said: "Why did you come from the mansion?"

"There is going to be a war here, hurry down!"

Lu Lingqi knew that Yuan Xi wanted to talk about him, so she said angrily: "You are always different from what you say!"

"You still openly said to marry me in the city, did Father agree?"

"If you spread rumors again, be careful with me"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a roar from the city, "Let go!"

Immediately there was a loud crash and a sharp piercing sound, and Yuan Xi stretched out his hand reflexively, trying to push Lu Lingqi down, but Lu Lingqi shook her shoulder and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Want to pounce on me again?"

Yuan Xi said urgently: "Arrows are being released from below!"

Lu Lingqi was taken aback, Yuan Xi took the opportunity to give her a hand, and the two squatted behind the wall together. The soldiers on the top of the wall also hid behind the wall to dodge one after another. Consciously took two steps away and hid under another arrow hole.

The next moment, countless arrows flew up to the top of the city, and the sound of ding ding ding ding was endless.

Lu Lingqi heard the muffled sound of arrows hitting the earthen wall, just about to say that it was nothing more than that, a few arrows shot in through the arrow holes.

An arrow hit a soldier in the neck, and the man fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

After a while, the sound of the arrow gradually died down. Lu Lingqi wanted to get up and look out of the arrow hole, but Yuan Xi said, "The stone is coming."

"The rain of arrows just now was purely for showing off wealth, and it was of no use."

"It is difficult to attack the city, only the trebuchet is still useful."

Sure enough, before the words fell, there was a booming sound, and the trebuchet below began to throw stones, some hit the city wall, some crossed the top of the city, hit the tower, bounced back, and landed in the crowd
Lu Lingqi watched helplessly as several soldiers were hit on the head with stones and died instantly.

The stones kept falling, and a round stone hit several people, and it rolled to a place a few steps away from them before stopping. Seeing that the stone was still stained with blood, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but turn pale.

Yuan Xi sighed: "How is it, the battlefield is not as good as imagined?"

"The sergeant who defends the city will hide behind the city wall most of the time. When the time comes, he will stand up and resist when the opponent attacks the city."

"When the time comes, the boiling oil and golden juice will pour down, and the burnt smell will fill the air. Are you sure you can bear it?"

Lu Lingqi saw the soldiers carrying a bucket of excrement and urine, hiding behind the tower and starting to boil it, the stench dissipated, and her face turned paler.

Yuan Xi sighed, "See clearly?"

"I have lived in Beixincheng for several years like this."

Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth and said, "What men can do, women can do too."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's up to you, as long as it doesn't hinder the soldiers."

"Or they'll hate you."

Lu Lingqi pouted.

Hearing the sound of killing, Sun Li glanced sideways out of the arrow hole and said, "Brother, the soldiers outside are about to rush into the bow and arrow range."

Yuan Xi covered half of his face with his arm, leaving only a pair of eyes, and leaned over to the arrow hole to take a look, and nodded.

He shouted to the left and right, "Draw the bow, take the arrow!"

After hearing this, the Youzhou army took off the horns on their backs and bowed out one after another.

Yuan Xi saw that Lu Lingqi was lying on the arrow hole to watch, and said, "You protect yourself carefully."

Seeing Yuan Shujun approaching, he gave an order, and everyone hid behind the arrow holes to release arrows. Some of them couldn't occupy the arrow holes, they waited for the opportunity to get up and draw their bows.

Lu Bu's army elsewhere also started to shoot arrows at the same time. For a while, arrows rained down from the top of the city, covering Yuan Shu's army below the city, and there were screams one after another.

Lu Lingqi watched many soldiers stand up and shoot without paying much attention to the aim, just to cover their bodies immediately, Yuan Shujun under the city also began to shoot back with arrows, most of the soldiers at the top of the city took too long to aim and were hit by the counterattack below.

Gradually, the screaming in the city and the city decreased a lot, and everyone was saving their energy, just bending their bows and shooting arrows in silence.

Lu Lingqi saw that it lasted for a quarter of an hour, and both sides hadn't stopped shooting arrows. Seeing that a sergeant beside him was dead, she squatted down and grabbed the bow in his hand. She pulled the quiver, bent the bow and set the arrow, and then Stand up abruptly.

This startled Yuan Xi who was shooting arrows, and saw Lu Lingqi pulled the bow away, and shot the arrow out with a whoosh.

After coming down a few times, Yuan Xi was surprised to find that Lu Lingqi's movements were extremely fast, and she became more and more fluid, and she didn't panic when facing the enemy's arrows, she moved her body slightly, and then dodged.

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded. He knew that Lu Bu, as a well-known archer in the world, taught by precept and example. Lu Lingqi has been walking on the most correct path since elementary school archery, and it is difficult to go astray.

However, the experience of killing people in battle requires a little bit of accumulation, but Lu Lingqi has adapted too quickly from the beginning to now, even more proficient than when she defended the city for more than a year!
There are really some people in this world who are born with enviable talents.
