Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426 Mediation and Use of Soldiers
Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi were sitting in front of the window of the small building. The scenery outside was beautiful, but he had no intention of watching it.

He wrote a family letter the day before yesterday and had someone send it to Jicheng to inquire about Zhen Mi's recent situation. After writing it, he hesitated because even if the letter was delivered to Zhen Mi, he couldn't do anything more.

But after thinking about it again and again, Yuan Xi still sent the letter, after all, it was somewhat of a comfort to Zhen Mi.

Now he is very anxious, obviously wanting to rush back to Youzhou, but Heishan needs to take charge of the overall situation by himself, only when the matter of Heishan is completely resolved, can he go back with peace of mind.

And before that, Zhao Yun and himself had a marriage ahead of them.

Zhao Yun was still waiting for his elder brother to arrive, not to mention the marriage between Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi was also a trouble.

Although Yuan Xi didn't marry his main wife this time, in order to save face for Lu Bu, the etiquette process was deliberately blurred, and the etiquette system was only slightly lower than that of the main wife, so the process was extremely complicated.

With this delay, he stayed in Yecheng for less than half a month, which made Yuan Xi even more restless.

Fortunately, Yuan Shang has not been able to save in Montenegro so far, and I heard that Yang Feng also appeared, and wanted to attack and kill Yuan Shang by surprise, but was blocked by Wen Chou and several generals, and returned without success.

According to a letter from Tian Yu who was present at the time, Yang Feng was much worse than when he was at the peak, both in speed and strength. It hasn't recovered yet.

Yuan Xi replied immediately, telling Tian Yu Gaoshun and the others to capture or kill Yang Feng if they had the chance, and to take advantage of her illness to kill her. If Yang Feng fully recovers, the threat to his side is really great. too big!

Yuan Xi settled the matter of Zang Hong in Dongwu Yang, Yuan Shao had already issued an order to let Gao Lan lead the troops to Montenegro, and Zhang Xi returned to Yecheng after being entrusted with the title, and was repairing the troops.

But from Yuan Xi's point of view, Yuan Shao's actions were still a bit slow. Cao Cao passed Hanting, and he didn't know what backhand he had arranged in Montenegro.

It will take at least half a month to wait for the six rites to be completed. In this time, from Yecheng to the pass in the middle of Heishan, if you ride lightly, you can run back and forth twice!

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and said to Lu Lingqi: "We can't wait any longer, the matter in Montenegro must end as soon as possible."

"I'm going to see Lord Benchu."

Not long after, Yuan Xi arrived at Yuan Shao's mansion. He met Yuan Shao and said, "The matter of Black Mountain has been delayed for too long."

"Now that Zhang Yun Gaolan is dispatched, I will let the Youzhou Army go south to cooperate, and the Black Mountain Army will definitely not be able to resist."

"At this time, I took out the emperor's edict and let the Black Mountain Army have a step down. The best result is to let it be used by the Yuan family, but if it is stubborn, it must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, Cao Cao is likely to be a hindrance. The incident in Puyang can be seen. Cao Cao's response to things is extremely decisive. If he delays, he will definitely be ahead of him!"

Tian Feng went to Dongwuyang, and now only Xun Chen and Shen Pei were left as counselors around Yuan Shao. After discussing a few words, they unanimously supported Yuan Xi's point of view.

Needless to say about the trial and match, it was originally to support Yuan Shang, and it would be good for Yuan Shang to solve the Black Mountain Army as soon as possible.

But Yuan Xi couldn't see through Xun Chen. Out of various concerns, Yuan Xi didn't recruit Xun Chen. connect.

On the surface, Xun Chen is Yuan Shang's person, but in Beixin City that day, he obviously had an affair with Yuan Tan, so when Yuan Xi spoke this time, he also paid attention to Xun Chen's expression, trying to see something.

But Xun Chen concealed it very well, he only raised a few questions about military rations, and said nothing else.

In the end, it was the judge who said to Yuan Xi: "If you get Black Mountain, how will Mr. Xian Yi garrison?"

This is the issue of dividing up the territory. Yuan Xi said without hesitation: "I want to go from the northern pass to the central pass."

"As for the section from the central pass to the southern pass, Jizhou is in charge."

"And I need Yuan to give me the right to pass at any time if I want to go south to Hanoi."

"Similarly, if the Jizhou army goes northward from the section where I am stationed, I will not stop it."

The judge said with a smile: "Since we are both members of the Yuan family, why is Mr. Xianyi obsessed with the garrison?"

Yuan Xi said calmly: "Our southern gate of Youzhou leads directly to Heishan. If we neglect our precautions and the enemy invades the interior of Youzhou, Youzhou will definitely be in chaos."

"It's not that I don't believe in the Jizhou Army, but that the Southern Huns have no friends and foes. If they invade from the Montenegro Passage, I need a buffer zone."

"What's more, isn't our Yuan family's next plan to occupy the Hetao Plain in Bingzhou?"

"If the Yuan family controls the southern pass of Heishan, it will only be a few hundred miles away from Hanoi where the Son of Heaven Palace is located. If there is any change, they can enter Sili at any time. This is a key step in the expansion of Jizhou."

After hearing this, the judge showed admiration, stopped talking, and looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was still not used to it. It was the first time he had so few counselors around him, but the first time he reached an agreement so quickly. He pondered for a while and said, "Yes."

"Zhengnan, you went to Montenegro with Xianyi, met Xianfu and told him that this matter is mainly about Xianyi, after all he is the emperor's envoy this time."

After hearing this, the judge quickly bowed his head and said: "I would like to follow the order of the envoy."

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, and heard Yuan Shao say: "I know that Xian Yi lost a general in the hands of the Black Mountain Army, but the deceased is already dead, so please don't use your emotions to avoid ruining Yuan's important affairs."

Yuan Xi's face remained unchanged, and he said: "I respect the order of the envoy."

Seeing Yuan Xi's expression of reluctance and reluctance, Yuan Shao sighed, "I'm afraid Xianyi won't be able to get married until he comes back from victory."

Yuan Xi said softly: "The six rituals have not yet been completed, anyway, staying still is staying still, maybe the time is just right to rush back to Yecheng after finishing the settlement of the Black Mountain Army."

He understood that Yuan Shao used the marriage to warn him not to mess around. This marriage not only refers to Yuan Xi's, but also includes Zhao Yun's.

After Yuan Shao heard this, he stopped talking, and waved his hands: "Okay, you go to organize your own troops, and the money and food will be drawn from the Jizhou government treasury. Tomorrow, I will let Zhang He lead the army and go out with you."

Yuan Xi bowed his head, then backed out.

Seeing Yuan Xi leave, Xun Chen said with a smile to Yuan Shao: "Mr. Xianyi has arranged things very closely in the past two years. He has been dispatching troops to fight, and there seems to be no delay in between."

"Looking at his style, it seems like he saw some opportunity and was afraid of missing any important opportunity."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao also had some doubts in his heart, why was Yuan Xi in such a hurry?
Moreover, he has obviously passed on and has nothing to do with the head of the Yuan family, so why bother planning for the Yuan family?
Did Yuan Xi see something that even his advisers couldn't see?

Yuan Shao thought of the rumors about Yuan Xi's subordinate Yinhu, who was good at stargazing, and wondered if there really was such an expert who revealed to him the secrets related to the future fortune?

Yuan Xi returned to the mansion and said to Zhao Yun: "I will leave for Montenegro tomorrow."

"Zilong's elder brother, has he arrived in Yecheng yet?"

Zhao Yun said: "According to the time, it should be on the way."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "Zilong will stay and get married first, and I will lead the troops there."

Zhao Yun immediately replied: "Young master does not hesitate to delay his marriage, how can Yun have the face to stay in Yecheng?"

"What's more, if I don't go with the young master, I'm afraid that the generals of Youzhou will have thoughts in their hearts, thinking that after I accept the canonization of the emperor, I may have a different heart. This is not a good thing for the morale of the Youzhou army."

"So in terms of emotion and reason, I have to follow the young master."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Okay!"

"This time we and the Jizhou Army have devoted almost all of their high-end combat power. If we can't win the Black Mountain Army, it will be a shame!"

Zhao Yun went out of the mansion to reorganize the army and collect supplies, money and food, but Yuan Xi sent an urgent letter to Guo Jia, Yan Rou and others in the central pass of Heishan, ordering them to immediately advance south from the central pass.

He sealed the secret envelope, and just after the spies sent it away, Lu Lingqi, who had been eavesdropping all along, jumped out, grabbed Yuan Xi's sleeve with one hand, and put one hand around Yuan Xi's neck, and said viciously, "Why, do you want to run away tomorrow?"

"You dare to leave me, now I will let you taste my strength!"

Yuan Xi felt the two lumps of softness sticking tightly to his back, he was overjoyed, and begged for mercy: "How could I not take you there!"

"No, you have to cover up a little bit and dress up as my guard."

"Also, we must pay attention to safety. In case something goes wrong, Marquis Wen might kill me alive."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi let go of her hand in satisfaction, and said, "You still have some conscience."

"You are a three-legged cat. I'm afraid you will need my protection on the battlefield."

Yuan Xi sweated profusely. Although this sentence was true, it was too hurtful to say it so bluntly!
The city of Ye was brightly lit all night, and the soldiers lined up to form an army. The people in the city knew that there was going to be another war.

But they didn't have much to worry about. Except for the chaos in Yecheng, the places where the wars are fought now are far away from Yecheng, so they don't affect their lives at all.

Of course, it is best to fight on other people's territory, the farther away the better, otherwise, even defending the city will have a huge impact on life.

In a few days, when Zhang Yan learned that Jizhou sent troops again and the Youzhou army was approaching south, he couldn't sit still anymore.

Because the Montenegrin Army is almost at its limit.

He hurriedly found Zhong Yao, who was on behalf of the emperor to go to Montenegro, and said with a grim expression: "Mr. Zhong, I promised the emperor to mediate, but the Yuan family's offensive has not diminished, and it has become much more ferocious!"

"Now not only Jizhou has increased troops, but even Youzhou soldiers have started!"

"This is completely different from what Zhong Shilang said!"

Zhong Yao's face was also gloomy, and he said angrily: "This Yuan family has ulterior motives, and it's clear that he doesn't respect the emperor's edict!"

"Especially that Yuan Xi, the Son of Heaven was deceived by him, doing this now is like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

"If I go back to Huaicheng, I will definitely give him a copy!"

Zhang Yan said: "That's all for the future, how can we tide over the difficulties now?"

Zhong Yao looked distressed, "The fierce tiger Yuan insisted that the Black Mountain Army killed his general in front of the emperor, and asked the Black Mountain Army to give an explanation."

"If Zhonglang will not solve this problem, he will have an excuse to keep fighting."

Zhang Yan heard this, and said angrily, "I didn't know anything about what happened back then, it was all done by Xiaowei Yang's brother-in-law Yang Chou!"

"What should I do now?"

Zhong Yao then said: "The fierce tiger insists that Yang Feng is the mastermind behind the scenes, if he is not handed over, the fierce tiger will not let it go."

Zhang Yan shook her head and said, "No, she has a very high status in the Taiping Dao, so she can't be moved."

Zhong Yao said sadly, "Why can't you move?"

"Is the Taiping Dao hers, or Mr. Cao's?"

Zhang Yan was stunned suddenly.
