Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 414

Outside the gate of Huaicheng, Yuan Xi sent people to find chariots and horses, and sent Qiao Rui back to Guangling.

At that time, the fact that Sun Ce took down Wu County had not yet been reported to Sili. Otherwise, the Han court's plan might have undergone huge changes, and it might follow the trend and seal Yangzhou to Sun Ce.

Although Liu Yao is also a clan member of the Han family, if he fails, the Han court will not be able to help him at all.

After thanking Yuan Xi repeatedly, Qiao Rui boarded the carriage and left.

Yuan Xi did not return to the city, but took Sun Li directly to the military camp outside the city to find Jushou Zhao Yun to discuss the return of the soldiers in two routes. He had already received news that Cao Cao had sent most of the troops back to Yanzhou, obviously there was a more urgent matter.

This made Yuan Xi vigilant, Cao Cao moved too fast!

And just do what you say, without procrastinating, I am afraid that the next step of the layout has already begun in advance!
This made Yuan Xi also feel the urgent pressure. After all, at this time, those who can clearly see the situation in the world are rushing for time.

Liu Bei in Xiapi was stepping up his recruitment, and Yuan Tan in Langya, Xuzhou began to expand southward, and several conflicts broke out with Mi Fang in Donghai.

This made Yuan Xi smell something unusual. When Yuan Tan wanted to do something so blatantly, he must have a big plan!

While Yuan Xi was thinking, he rode into the barracks. Outside the barracks, Ju Shou and Zhao Yun were reorganizing the army, and Gao Shun was standing there.

To Yuan Xi's surprise, he wanted to spend a lot of time persuading Gao Shun, but after a little consideration, Gao Shun agreed.

Maybe it was because he was too unsatisfactory under Lu Bu, and his status was not as good as that of Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, but Song Xian and Wei Xu could also be on his head, which made Gao Shun, who is proud and arrogant, still have some ideas in his heart.

But Gao Shun has been reluctant to change his family, and now he heard Yuan Xi say that Lu Bu nodded first and asked him to leave Huaicheng in the name of escorting Lu Lingqi. This is obviously an excuse to let himself work under Yuan Xi.

If you insist on not leaving any longer, you will really be boring yourself.So Yuan Xi granted Gao Shun the post of general in the name of founding the mansion, and Gao Shun readily agreed.

Now that the battle in Montenegro is tense, Yuan Xi intends to let Jushou and Gao Shun lead the army northward first, and return to the pass in the middle of Montenegro to support Guo Jiatianyu.

Regardless of whether Liu's coordination is resolved or whether Yuan Shao agrees to a truce, Yuan Xi will deploy the most powerful troops in advance to ensure that he can get the benefits as soon as possible.

Moreover, the [-]-mile passage he opened will not be given up to others no matter what.

In addition to Gao Shun, Hua Tuo was also among them, ready to go with the main force. When they saw Yuan Xi coming, they all came up to see him.

Yuan Xi made arrangements for everyone, and said: "Today the army is finished, and tomorrow morning, Mr. Gong and Mr. will lead the army, together with General Gao and Mr. Yuanhua, to go to Montenegro."

"Then Zilong and I took a hundred guards and went to Yecheng on behalf of the emperor."

After hearing this, several people clasped their hands together and said, "Decree!"

Seeing everyone's respectful appearance, Yuan Xi suddenly realized that his current status was considered to be superior to his peers.

Not only has his own territory, backed by the powerful Yuan family, but also won the title of the Han court, he is already a real prince!

After finishing the arrangements, he saw that Hua Tuo had something to say to himself, so he dragged him into the tent and said, "Mr. Yuanhua, what advice do you have?"

Hua Tuo whispered: "A few days ago, I saw Mrs. Kong Beihai's doctor."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mrs. Kong Beihai?"

"I heard that she is happy, Kong Beihai is really strong."

Hua Tuo said in a low voice, "Madam wants you to visit the mansion."

Yuan Xi felt a headache when he heard it, "Don't she know the way Kong Beihai looked at me, as if he wanted to kill me?"

"Now if you find out that she is seeing me in private, why don't you just give me a copy?"

Hua Tuo couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, "I thought the young master was not afraid of heaven and earth."

Yuan Xi rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "In the past, Kong Wenju was considered to be one of the best among the nobles in a moment of high spirits, and I was a bit over the top at that time."

Hua Tuo whispered: "Young Master is overthinking. Mrs. Kong Beihai knows that Young Master will leave Huaicheng soon, and wants to ask Young Master to see her daughter."

"She said that her daughter's health was deteriorating, but she often talked about the young master. She was afraid that the young master would leave and never see each other again. She didn't want her daughter to regret for the rest of her life."

Yuan Xi felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this, and sighed: "I understand, I will go to the Confucian Mansion to hand over the greeting card in a while."

Hua Tuo got up and said: "The matter here is over, the old man is going to go back to Montenegro with the prince, so I bid farewell to the prince."

He walked to the entrance of the tent, stopped suddenly, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "There are some things, maybe the old man is talking too much."

"Although the madam has repeatedly told you not to tell the young master the truth unless it is absolutely necessary, so as not to affect the young master's decision-making strategy, but the old man thinks that the overall situation is settled now, but he should not hide it from the young master."

Yuan Xi hadn't reacted yet, "Madam? Which Madam?"

Hua Tuo said, "It's Mrs. Zhen."

"Before the old man left Jicheng, she was already happy."

Yuan Xi was stunned suddenly, and then he was stunned by the great joy.

Is Zhen Mi happy?
He was both happy and annoyed, "Mr. Yuanhua kept it from me so hard!"

Hua Tuo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's no wonder the old man, Madam has repeatedly warned me."

Yuan Xi hurriedly inquired carefully, and confirmed that Hua Tuo's disciples who stayed in Jicheng were quite reliable, so he was a little relieved.

At this time, he was eager to return home, wishing to fly back to Jicheng, but there were still many things waiting for him to do in Yecheng, only after all these were done, he could rush back to Jicheng.

He thought that Zhen Mi really knew him, and when he heard the news, he immediately lost his composure. If he had to make a decision before, he might be greatly affected.

His mood was both joyful and a little heavy. Counting the one in Mrs. Wu's belly, he would soon be the father of two children.

Thinking that if he died, he would leave two widows behind, Yuan Xi suddenly became a little afraid of death, and his heart became worried. In the future, he might not have the courage to fear death on the battlefield.

With complicated emotions, Yuan Xi and Hua Tuo walked out of the camp, only to see Gao Shun talking with a dozen or so sackclothed people at the gate of the camp.

Yuan Xi only felt that these people were tall and strong, but after a few more glances, he also felt that something was wrong. These people exuded a murderous aura, and their posture was extremely upright. They looked more like veterans than ordinary people.

He walked over and asked, "Who are they?"

Gao Shun turned his face and said with a puzzled expression, "They are in the camp."

Yuan Xi was at a loss, "Why do soldiers trapped in the camp appear here?"

Gao Shun made a show to a soldier, the soldier stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Report to the envoy, General Zhang came to the camp this morning, saying that Marquis Wen has an order, and those who are trapped in the camp and willing to join the envoy and General Gao can leave their weapons and armor and leave the camp empty-handed."

"At first, the brothers thought that this must be a mistake, and they were very hesitant, but the few of us who were brave enough thought about giving it a try."

"In the end, we left the camp empty-handed. There was really no one to stop us, so we rushed over."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked in confusion: "As a great general, Marquis Wen's status is much higher than mine, how could you think of taking refuge in me?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "On the one hand, we are convinced by General Gao and are willing to listen to his orders."

"On the other hand, we were General Qu's predecessors before. We heard that the general died in battle, and the envoy asked for a posthumous title for him. Everyone is very grateful."

"In the [-] camps, there are still about [-] who will come first, and they should all come one after another."

Speaking of this, the other dozen or so people clasped their hands together and said: "Xie Shijun please ask for a posthumous posthumous title for the general!"

Yuan Xi was in a complicated mood, he pulled them up and said, "Okay!"

"Since you have come to join me, I will treat you as brothers as I treat Brother Qu!"

When everyone heard this, they all knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I am willing to die for your envoy!"

In Lu Bu's barracks, Chen Gong saw soldiers leaving one after another, so he couldn't help saying to Lu Bu in front of him, "The trapped camp has lost a little half, and the combat power has been greatly affected."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said calmly, "It's okay, my reputation didn't come from being trapped in the camp."

"Without them, am I no longer Marquis Wen?"

"A mere hundred or ten people is my dowry to my daughter."

After hearing this, Chen Gong smiled wryly, thinking that Lu Bu's last words were his true thoughts.

Different things happened everywhere in Huaicheng, from national feuds to family affairs, from feudal feudal lords to ordinary greetings, big and small things suddenly increased.These intricate and complex emotions make Huaicheng, which has gone through the war, seem to be rejuvenated.

Yuan Xi went to Kong Rong's mansion, but Kong Rong happened to be away, Yuan Xi stayed there for half a day before coming out, and when he left, there were some tears on his sleeves.

Yan tried on Lu Lingqi's wedding gown that had been prepared a long time ago. According to the rules, the wedding could not be done in Huaicheng, so Yan could only fold the wedding gown carefully, put it in a mahogany box, and told Lu Lingqi to lock it up so that the rain on the road wouldn't get wet.

Liu Xie took out the seal, stamped the bright red seal on the imperial edict, looked carefully, and then handed it to Lu Bu who was standing at the bottom, and said with a smile: "From now on, Miss Wenhou is the first female monarch I have personally enshrined since I ascended the throne."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and women could be crowned kings, not only in a detached position, but also with food. Women who could be crowned kings were either members of the Han Dynasty or the wives and daughters of meritorious officials.

Lu Bu took the edict and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie joked: "Marquis Wen loves his daughter so much, but I don't understand why all the families in the world who beg Marquis Wen's daughter to be his wife can be ranked outside Huaicheng, but Marquis Wen chose An Guoting Marquis alone?"

Lu Bu was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know either."

"It's rare for my daughter to be willful, maybe I don't want to let her down."

Liu Xie was also silent.

After a long time, he finally said: "I can understand Wen Hou's thoughts a little bit, but only a little bit."

"After all, when I was very young, my mother was gone."
