Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 409 Above the court
When Yan Shi heard Lu Bu's words, his first reaction was that Lu Bu was crazy!

She couldn't help but angrily said: "Husband is drunk?"

"Although the fierce tiger has gained a false name, it is only a descendant of the Yuan family. You let Ling'er follow her to suffer?"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Aren't I not in vain?"

"My general, isn't it the same?"

"Are the soldiers under my command comparable to Dong Zhuo back then, or Li Jue and Guo Si, or the fierce tigers of today?"

"I don't even have as much territory as him!"

Yan stammered: "But, but, Yuan Gonglu has a large army, and his son..."

"A piece of trash!" Lu Bu said disdainfully, "Tens of thousands of people can't beat even a few thousand tigers!"

"Based on him like this, he still wants to protect Ling'er in the future?"

"No matter how big the family business is, he can't keep it!"

Yan Shi was speechless after being refuted by Lu Bu. She was surprised how Lu Bu changed his temper. Could it be because he became a general?

As soon as Lu Bu was tough, Yan Shi softened. She faltered and said: "But Yuan Gonglu can stand against the emperor..."

Lu Bu sneered and said, "A woman's opinion!"

"The emperor has already made up his mind, so don't ask any more questions!"

After hearing this, Yan Shi was still unwilling to reconcile, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it good for Ling'er to stay with her husband for a while? Why is there a rush to send her away?"

"My husband is now a great general, who dares to touch Ling'er?"

Lu Bu's face was solemn, and he sighed: "The last general, but He Jin!"

"This position is not so easy to do. Now Huaicheng seems safe, but it is actually dangerous. What if I am betrayed like last time, so what if I am a general?"

"So I let Ling'er stay away from the wrong place, and I also protect her."

Yan's subconsciously wanted to say, let's just leave as a family!

But she thought about it again, her husband is already under one person and above ten thousand people, isn't it a pity to want to abandon these things?
So she swallowed back the words that came to her lips, but when she thought of the gold, silver and treasures sent by the fierce tiger earlier, she felt angrily.
This dog thing!

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xie held a court meeting and fixed Luanjia in Huaicheng. There were many reasons for this decision.

One is that Lu Bu is currently one of the most credible people in Liu Xie.

Second, the vicinity of Luoyang is not safe because Yuan Shu's army is watching.

The third is that after the battle between Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie knew the importance of owning his own power, so he had to rely on Huaicheng, and with the help of Lu Bu, to subdue the small and medium forces of all parties.

Therefore, he needs a relatively balanced and stable environment. While making good friends with the princes, he will take the opportunity to strengthen himself.

After Yuan Xi was formally appointed in front of Liu Xie in accordance with the Han system, he also received Liu Xie's edict to bring the Han court edict to Yuan Shao to persuade him to accept the post of Taiwei.

Yuan Xi took the order to retreat and stood among the officials, but he noticed a few unkind eyes sweeping over him. He raised his eyes and found that it was Cao Cao who shot from behind.

Cao Cao himself looked as usual, but he didn't see anything wrong. Zhong Yao, Ding Chong and others beside him kicked him with righteous indignation, as if Yuan Xi had killed their whole family.

However, Yuan Xi ignored them. A few civil servants are not farts. Anyway, they have already torn skins with Cao Cao and other eyeliner officials. There is no hope of restoring the relationship. Do they still want to stare at themselves to death?
What he is interested in right now is Cao Cao, whom he met for the first time. His stature is indeed not tall, about seven feet. According to the calculation of later generations, it is about 1.5 meters.

His facial features are narrow-eyed and long-bearded, but his face is somewhat heroic. This should be the heroic spirit cultivated in the battle all year round?
But Yuan Xi didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Cao Cao looked at him with a tinge of evil in his eyes, which made Yuan Xi feel vigilant.

Cao Cao is really an outstanding figure in the world, thinking that the other party may already miss him, Yuan Xi also feels a lot of pressure.

Liu Xie opened his mouth and asked the officials to make suggestions on how to appease the Black Mountain Army in the north.

Yuan Xi listened coldly, and after a while he realized that the voices of officials who supported Cao Cao were the mainstream, and most of them agreed that Cao Cao's officials should be dispatched to appease the Black Mountain Army.

Such pressure came to Yuan Xi. After all, Liu Xie asked Yuan Xi to send Yuan Shao an edict. If Cao Cao recruited the Black Mountain Army, it would be impossible for Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao to agree.

In fact, the Han court did not want to see the Yuan family wipe out the Black Mountain Army. After all, the Han court would lose a lot of help, and even control over Bingzhou.

In fact, in today's world, it is difficult to say who is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and who is a traitor.

Just like Lu Bu, it is said that he is a family slave of the three surnames, but he has made enemies with almost all those who held the emperor hostage.

The same is true for the Southern Huns, which involves the secular background of Shanyu Qiangqu's succession, as well as the grievances and grievances between the Northern and Southern Huns and the Han court.

The Xiongnu had already declined in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Dou Xianyan made a statement, the Northern Xiongnu fled far away and never returned, while the Southern Xiongnu completely became a vassal of the Han court.

The former Southern Xiongnu Shanyu lived in Bingzhou as a guest. He was closely monitored by General Du Liao and Hun Hun Zhonglang for a long time, and even had to send his son as a hostage. From Emperor Shun to Emperor Ling, the Han court has been interfering in the selection of Shanyu, which caused dissatisfaction among the Southern Xiongnu.

Qiang Qu was the father of Yu Fuluo, and because of his pro-Han stance, he was hated by the power faction of the Huns, which eventually led to his death in civil strife.

After several civil strife in the royal court of the Southern Huns, Shan Yu was unable to be elected, while Yu Fuluo was completely excluded. He had nowhere to go, first he plundered in Bingzhou, then he took refuge in Yuan Shao's Suanzao Allied Forces, then rebelled and defected to Dong Zhuo, and finally died inexplicably in the second year of Xingping.

In the same year, his son Liu Bao was killed by Yuan Xi on his way back to Bingzhou after plundering the people of Luoyang.

After Yu Fuluo's death, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne. This man took the right step. When the emperor's car was attacked by Li Jue's army, he sent troops to help, and together with the Baibo army, he repelled Li Jue.

Although the Xiongnu army was driven away because of the factional struggle between the Baibo army and Dong Cheng, it was no different from establishing a bridge of communication with the Han court after many years.

Of course, Liu Xie would not miss this opportunity, and issued an imperial edict to recognize Huchuquan Shanyu's official status. From this point, Huchuquan became an extremely useful chess piece in the hands of the emperor Liu Xie, and he can be called a loyal minister of the great man.

Yuan Xi knew about this twists and turns, and he had to admit that Liu Xie had some tricks.

But the direction of history after later generations slowly began to get out of control.

After Cao Cao emptied Liu Xie, he took advantage of the Han court's control over the Southern Huns and took control of the Southern Huns.

"Wei Shu Liang Xi Zhuan" - Shan Yu (Hu Chuquan) is obedient, named Wang Jiying (referring to kowtow), serving in trilogy, the same as the editor.The borders were cleared, the people set up fields, encouraged farmers and mulberry farmers, and banned them.

Registered households are the household registrations of ordinary people, who normally bear labor and corvee, but then began to deteriorate slowly. The Wei and Jin Dynasties' policies towards the Southern Huns became more and more harsh.

"Wei Shu Chen Qun Biography - Attached Biography" - (Chen Tai) is the governor of Bingzhou, the general Jia Zhenwei, the envoy Chijie, the general who protects the Xiongnu Zhonglang, Huairou the barbarian people, very powerful.The nobles in the capital often send treasures, and they are slaves in the city of Tai.

This is about Chen Tai, the son of Chen Qun, who used the people of the Southern Huns for slave trading. Wei Shu also regarded this as a normal phenomenon.

When Liu Xuan, a nobleman of the Xiongnu in the Western Jin Dynasty, persuaded him to enter Liu Yuan, he said that "Jin has no way, and slaves rule me." It can be seen that this kind of behavior of selling Huns Dingkou was a consistent phenomenon in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Southern Huns and laid the groundwork for the future chaos in China.

Yuan Xi always felt that if the Xiongnu insisted on being an enemy of the Han court, what Wei Qinghuo Qubing did back then was very correct.

However, if there are those who take refuge in the Han court, since they have been registered as Qimin, they should be treated equally, and there is no need to give them privileges, but they don't have to be treated harshly.

Only by treating them as equals can they be integrated into the big family of China. Otherwise, people who are treated unfairly, no matter whether they are Han or Hu, will inevitably be dissatisfied, and eventually break out into war.

If members of any ethnic integration group have a lower status than other groups, this repression will inevitably rebound and backfire after a long time.

Yuan Xi thought of a disintegrated northern country in later generations, which had hundreds of different ethnic groups, and no one dared to look directly at it when it was strong.

However, it pursued a policy of suppressing the main ethnic group, which led to the fact that the minority ethnic groups who received preferential treatment took it for granted, and the main ethnic group was dissatisfied, and finally the entire alliance collapsed.

Yuan Xi thought of that sentence from the movie of later generations.

Fair, fair, still fair.

Preferential treatment will not return sincerity, it will only attract profit-seeking people. Although bad treatment can be suppressed for a while, it will arouse resistance sooner or later.

Yuan Xi understands that the confrontation has already begun in the imperial court.

Liu Xie was in the front and Cao Cao was in the back, involving the Yuan family, the Black Mountain Army, and the Southern Huns, and the role he played was the fuse.

If Yuan Shao cannot be persuaded, it will cause a series of negative chain reactions.

Yuan Xi really wanted to kill the Black Mountain Army, but this ran counter to Liu Xie's intentions, so let's just forget it?

Thinking of this, he came out and said, "I have a word."

"It is true that the Black Mountain Army can be used, but these years they have captured the people and gained a bad reputation in the world. If the leader is not punished, the world may not be convinced."

Immediately, a minister said: "This is a good time to recruit the Black Mountain Army. If you say that you will punish the chief culprit, how can Zhang Yan surrender?"

Yuan Xi followed up and said: "Never mind Zhang Yan, Captain Heishan is responsible for the supervision of Heishan. To indulge and ignore this chaos is really a breach of responsibility. Severe punishment is recommended."

He avenged Qu Yi, although the instigator was Cao Cao, Yang Feng should be the one who attacked directly, so he must kill him and break one of Cao Cao's arms.

He originally thought that Cao Cao's side would jump out to oppose fiercely, but to Yuan Xi's surprise, Zhong Yao, Ding Chong, and finally even Cao Cao agreed with his opinion out loud!
Yuan Xi suddenly realized that he might be thinking wrong!
Cao Cao's side agreed so happily, does it mean that Yang Feng might not be with Cao Cao?

Moreover, the existence of Yang Feng will hinder Cao Cao's actions, so that the other party will push the boat smoothly?
But could this be a trick for Cao Cao to try to get him?

Sensing Cao Cao's playful gaze, Yuan Xi suddenly felt that he might have overlooked some key things!
It is certain that the Black Mountain Army and Cao Cao have colluded.

Yang Chou belongs to the Black Mountain Army, which is also true.

It is certain that Yang Chou instigated the Huaicheng Rebellion and killed Qu Yi.

Yang Feng and Yang Chou have a close relationship, which I saw with my own eyes.

These four evidences should be able to infer that Yang Feng is Cao Cao's person?

I don't know which link, there must be something wrong!

Yuan Xi couldn't figure it out, and felt a sense of frustration. He was still too immature. To deal with someone like Cao Cao, he needed to gather all his advisers and brainstorm!
He saw the Black Mountain incident with his own eyes, and he fell into the opponent's trap when he made a mistake, so he could only swallow his breath temporarily.

Fists on the battlefield have the final say, the key to the Black Mountain Army is still on Yuan Shao's side, and the ownership of the Black Mountain Passage, Yuan Xi will definitely not let it go easily.

The discussions among the ministers on the matter of Montenegro have temporarily come to an end, and the topic returns to how to deal with Yuan Shu.

At this time Ding Chong came out and said: "I heard that the Marquis of An Guoting captured Yuan's General Qiao Rui, why don't he execute the law on the spot to warn Yuan Shu?"

Yuan Xi's expression darkened when he heard this, he promised to release Qiao Rui back to befriend Sun Ce, who got the news and wanted to demolish his platform?
A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and he glared at Ding Chong.
