Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410

Ding Chong, whose name is Youyang, is from Peiguo, is a fellow of Cao Cao, and is now the servant of Huangmen. He felt Yuan Xi looking at him with threats, and his first reaction was to stare back.

This is in front of the emperor, all the officials and generals are present, what can a mere false general do to himself?
But when he raised his head and looked around, he found that the faces of the officials were all different. Many people couldn't help but look at Lu Bu, but Lu Bu glanced at him indifferently.
Ding Chong suddenly came to his senses, sweating profusely, nothing else, this Yuan Xi was rumored to marry Lv Bu's daughter, and Lv Bu was a moron who killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo!

But now he was on the verge of riding a tiger, so he gritted his teeth and insisted: "Yuan Gonglu threatened the emperor Luanjia, and his generals will not be punished, why not?"

At this moment, Kong Rong said, "Let's not talk about anything else, Yuan Gonglu was attacking the city of Marquis Wen, so what has he to do with the Son of Heaven?"

Ding Chong choked, cursing inwardly, Kong Rong is really a stone in a latrine, now he came out to meddle again!
He knew it well, and while Rang and Kong Rong were known as celebrities in the world, and Rang was killed by Cao Cao, Kong Rong and Cao Cao had a crush on each other. Since he defected to Liu Xie, everything is against Cao Cao.

Ding Chong rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Yuan Gonglu sent troops to the Sili, obviously to spy on Luoyang, and now the Marquis of An Guoting secretly hides his general, intending to hook up with Yuan Shu?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, where did Cao Cao find such an idiot? This is not considered a temptation, but an obvious provocation.

This Ding Chong is obviously confident and feels that Cao Cao is covering him, but he doesn't think about it, if he can't deal with Cao Cao, he can't deal with you?

Ding Chong had sons Ding Yi and Ding Zhen. Cao Cao respected the Ding family and his sons, but Ding Chong's family obviously did not end well, because Ding Yi and Ding Zhen supported Cao Zhi, so they were all killed by Cao Pi in the end.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi admired Cao Pi very much, and killed all the people belonging to the Cao family. When the Sima family usurped the throne, almost no one stood up to support the Cao family.

But now each is their own master, and with Yuan Xi's current status, he is equal to Cao Cao, and there is no need to explain this issue to Ding Chong face to face.

In principle, at this time it should be an official from Yuan Xi's side who stood up to defend Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi did not plant his own forces around Liu Xie, even if there was a dark game, he would not be exposed now.

As for Ding Chong and Zhong Yao, Cao Cao's open chess has long been exposed. Cao Cao must have other hidden chess. Yuan Xi thought, is Cao Cao testing me, or provoking me on purpose?
He didn't seem to have heard Ding Chong's words, but raised his head slightly and faced Liu Xie with a calm expression.

All the officials had different expressions when they saw it. They had heard about the reputation of the Yuan family's ferocious tigers on the battlefield, and thought that this person must have a bad temper. But now it seems that, apart from showing a little anger at first, he immediately calmed down.

Liu Xie said, "How does the Marquis of An Guoting think about what Yuan Gonglu did?"

What he said was very tactful, he didn't mention Qiao Rui's matter at all, but asked Yuan Shu's situation directly, which was a step down for Yuan Xi.

After Yuan Xi heard this, he cupped his hands and bowed, "Yuan Gonglu harbored mischievous intentions, which is really a catastrophe for the Han court."

Liu Xie said: "Then Aiqing thinks, what should I do?"

Yuan Xi replied: "Yuan Gonglu is very powerful and has 30 troops under his command. If he raises his army to its fullest, the Sili area may be in jeopardy."

Zhong Yao snorted, "There is Marquis Wen in Huaicheng, Colonel Cao in Yanzhou, Sili, how dare Yuan Shu'an take half a step in Thunder Pond?"

He clearly praised Lv Bu, but he was secretly trying to build momentum for Cao Cao. Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I heard that Chenliu County has been fighting for a year, and Yanzhou can't be stable, let alone Sili."

Everyone froze, didn't this belittle Cao secretly, mocking him for not being able to take back even the next county, how could he have the ability to resist Yuan Shu as Zhong Yao said?
Zhong Yao blushed. Seeing Cao Cao looking at him, he was about to speak up to defend himself, but Yuan Xi said immediately, "Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are stubborn and intend to fight Cao Shijun as an enemy. Chen Liu is very close to Hanoi. If he does not calm down, it will also affect Emperor Luanjia."

"I also ask the emperor to issue an order to let the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao surrender to the Han court, so as to relieve Cao Shijun's worries and let him concentrate on protecting Sili."

All the officials were stunned, and then they applauded secretly. It was originally Ding Chong who wanted to draw the muddy water to Yuan Xi, but for some reason, it became Cao Cao's business!
As for the matter of the Zhang Miao brothers in Chenliu County, it may not be big or small, but the relationship entanglement hidden in it is like a mess, which is very difficult to untangle.

Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are also famous people in the world, and they are the initiators of the Suanzao Allied Forces. They can be regarded as meritorious officials against Dong. On the surface, the Han court still wants to protect them, but their rebellion against Cao Cao has become a personal grievance with Cao Cao, and the Han court has no excuse to intervene.

However, Yuan Xi's proposal cleverly turned it into the safety of the emperor, giving the Han court a reason to intervene in a fair manner!

However, this is also risky for Liu Xie. If the mediation is successful, the prestige of the Han court will be greatly increased, but if Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao turn a blind eye, the prestige of the Han court will be damaged.

As for Cao Cao, he is currently cultivating the power of his party members around the emperor, and he is still in the dormant period. Now he is not easy to openly oppose Yuan Xi's proposal.

Yuan Xi's idea was a counterattack to Ding Chong's provocation just now. At this time, everyone looked at Ding Chong in unison, with a trace of playfulness on their faces, thinking that this fierce tiger of the Yuan family, even the words of the court, had the art of war.

But Liu Xie turned to Cao Cao: "What do you think?"

To Yuan Xi's surprise, Cao Cao replied without hesitation: "The Marquis of An Guoting's plan is very clever. If there is any order from the Tian Family, Cao Cao must obey it."

Yuan Xi showed a serious look on his face. Cao Cao is someone who can afford to let go. In the face of interests, all face can be discarded. It is really hard to guess.

Cao Cao said again: "Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are really talented, but it's a pity that they were deceived for a while. If they can bow their heads to the Han court, I will recommend them to be officials in the same court."

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Bu and found that the other party did not respond. He thought that Lu Bu really lacked a counselor.

At that time, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao supported Lu Bu and rebelled against Cao Cao. At this time, if you don't say a word, you can get more benefits for others. Who in the court will dare to rely on you in the future?
From this point alone, it can be seen that Lv Bu will definitely not be able to fight Cao Cao in the future. Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, thinking that if Lv Bu and Cao Cao were to wrestle, did he have some wishful thinking?

When Cao Cao spoke, many ministers agreed with him, even Kong Rong, who had a disagreement with Cao Cao, also agreed.

After all, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were besieged in Chenliu, and it was already a dead end. If Chenliu could be released, it would be better to get a vacant position in the Han court than to lose his life.

For Cao Cao, being able to take down Chen Liu without bloodshed and stabilize the hinterland of his hometown can be regarded as a steady profit without losing money.

Seeing this, Liu Xie said, "Since this is the case, I will send envoys to Chenliu to mediate between the two parties and stop fighting."

For him, this is a good opportunity to demonstrate the majesty of the Han court and test the attitude of the world. This is not only a reward for his dedication to Cao Cao, but also faintly suppress Cao Cao's momentum by recruiting Zhang Miao brothers.

After hearing this, everyone bowed in unison: "The Tian family is wise!"

Several ministers became active. This Yuan family's vicious tiger acted unexpectedly. This proposal seemed to be a powerful and unconstrained style, but it actually grasped the thoughts of all parties very accurately. How did Yuan Shao teach this son?
Yang Biao said: "The Marquis of An Guoting is very resourceful, but I remember that your Majesty just asked about Yuan Gonglu, right?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Shang Shuling is right, Chen Liu is just a trivial matter, and Yuan Gonglu's side is the big problem."

"But Xi believes that although Yuan Gonglu claims to have an army of 30, his people's hearts are not united, and since the news of his establishment has spread, people's hearts have become even more fluctuating."

"That day when Qiaorui attacked the city, he was besieged by me and surrendered. Afterwards, I talked with him and learned that Yuan Gonggong's subordinates still have many hearts for the Han Dynasty."

"Especially his subordinate Sun Ce, whose father Sun Jian was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. If he is alive, Yuan Shu will definitely not be allowed to stand on his own."

"Sun Ce is like a father, so Xi thought that he should send envoys to Sun Ce to persuade Sun Ce to betray Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu would be under the enemy's back, and he would not dare to spy on Sili again."

"The minister owns Guangling City, which is only across a river from Sun Ce's government. The Jiang Qiao Rui has a very close relationship with Sun Ce. If he is sent back to persuade Sun Ce, great things will be accomplished."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's face showed a solemn look for the first time, and there was even a trace of anxiety.

Yuan Xi keenly grasped this point, and thought that Cao Cao had made arrangements in advance on Sun Ce's side!
Because according to the records of later generations, Sun Ce immediately rebelled against Yuan Shu after Yuan Shu became the empress, and married Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu together. This shows that Cao Cao had a private deal with Sun Ce long ago.

Now Yuan Xi's proposal is tantamount to cross-cutting. Before Sun Ce and Cao Cao made an alliance, they forcibly inserted the forces of Han Ting and Yuan Xi in advance.

This is a naked cut-off, Cao Cao felt as disgusted as he ate a fly, and a thought came to his mind for a moment.

Why does this fierce tiger of the Yuan family seem to know what he is thinking?
Did he have spies under him, or was he really proficient in the illusory stargazing technique as rumored?

If it's the latter, I'm afraid he can guess people's minds, predict the prophet, can he really figure him out?

Cao Cao found that he still underestimated Yuan Xi!

Although the development of the current situation in Tianxia Hechaotang has not jumped out of his and Xun You's previous planning and expectations, the scary thing about the fierce tiger is that every time it does things, it coincides with itself!

Whether it was flattering the Son of Heaven, suppressing Yuan Shu, or Chenliu and Zhang Miao brothers, this Yuan Xi had very similar ideas to his own, or was tit-for-tat. Now I still have the strength to deal with him, but what about in the future?

When Cao Cao thought of this, he suddenly had a murderous intention. He tolerated Yuan Xi everywhere. On the one hand, he was still able to control the situation, and his actions were all to paralyze the other party.

And Yuan Xi was against him everywhere, he was afraid that he was not sure about his psychology, and if he continued like this, he would be led by the nose by the other party, which was very disadvantageous.

Just kill him?
