Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 44
When Yuan Xi crossed over, he also thought a lot about whether he could shake his body and let Cao Cao and Liu Bei vote.

Later he figured it out, it was impossible.

Those two are outstanding people in the world, and they will never be willing to be subordinated to others. Yuan Shao still can't subdue him, let alone himself?
Needless to say, Cao Cao, from the initial defeats and repeated battles, to acting fiercely and unscrupulously, he took down Yanzhou Xuzhou Yuzhou surrounded by a group of heroes for several years, and he had the last laugh.

Every time Liu Bei took refuge in a different lord, he was able to secretly support his own power under constant suppression, and continued to grow, which can be said to have achieved the ultimate.

However, Yuan Xi's identity as a son of Yuan's family meant that Yuan Xi could not join them.

It was impossible for Cao Cao at least before Yuan Shao's death, and there were also lessons learned from Yuan Tan's surrender and rebellion.

Although Cao Cao was quite magnanimous to surrender generals, Zhang Xiu cheated Cao Cao several times, Cao Cao still treated him kindly, enfeoffing him with two thousand households, which was also the highest rank among Cao Cao's subordinates.

However, there were many rumors about Zhang Xiu's death afterwards. Some said that he died of illness, and some said that he committed suicide after being humiliated by Cao Pi. Cao Pi also killed Zhang Xiu's son for treason.

Although Liu Bei seemed tolerant, according to historical development, he might be beaten for another 20 years. Yuan Xi followed him and lost his life at some point.

What's more, if a man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time?
And since I have such a high starting point, I might as well give it a try!
So Yuan Xi finally thought about it, and decided to farm the land honestly and wait for the opportunity to find opportunities.

Having said that, Youzhou needs a lot of talents, especially strong generals who can fight against foreigners, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

So Yuan Xi took aim at the person he had eliminated first.

A person who is almost at the end of the road now, and everyone is screaming and killing.

Lu Bu.

At first Yuan Xi directly crossed out this choice, because Lu Bu was almost the worst ally.

He betrayed and killed the master many times, and fell out with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao even assassinated him.

In this situation, joining forces with Lu Bu is simply difficult for him.

However, Yuan Xi later discovered that this seemed to be the worst choice. Although the risks were high, the benefits were also high.

Because Lu Bu is from Liangzhou, the generals he befriended were all fierce men who dealt with foreigners.

Moreover, by supporting Lu Bu to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, he can suppress the surrounding princes at the same time, leaving room for himself to develop.

Youzhou and Yanzhou are separated from Jizhou, so I shouldn't be so easily backstabbed by Lu Bu?

Moreover, there is a lot of inside information about Lv Bu's infidelity. Yuan Xi once tested Yuan Shao and found that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

But Yuan Xi would not fully trust Lu Bu, so he decided to act with a false identity.

The key to everything lies in Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao's younger brother, Dong Fan, is now serving as a counselor in Zhang Miao's army, and according to historical development, in a few months, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong will welcome Lu Bu to rebel against Cao Cao and start the Yanzhou Rebellion!

At that time, Cao Cao was attacking Xuzhou Tucheng for the second time. After hearing the news, he rushed back to Yanzhou to fight Lu Bu, and fought for more than a year.

Yuan Xi's current plan is to advance the chaos in Yanzhou, prevent Cao Cao from slaughtering Xuzhou twice, let Lu Bu and Cao Cao check each other, and keep a dark hand by the way.

Of course, the idea is good, but there are many variables in the actual operation. What Yuan Xi uses now is a letter that Dong Zhao wrote to Dong Fang earlier.

The content is very simple, only a few sentences.

Brother meets a great talent by chance, he has high intelligence and knowledge, he should be used by Zhang Miao, the prefect, and I hope my brother will recommend him.

Now everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, and the affairs of Beixincheng are temporarily entrusted to Yuan Tan. Everything is going well, and we can leave in a few days!

At this time Yuan Tan found Xun Chen's guest house in the mansion, and when he entered the door, he found that he was holding the two women he had just taken away, and his clothes were disheveled.

At that time, in the ethos of the gentry, a good woman was nothing, and it was even spread as a good story, which was the so-called celebrity.

The most typical one is Guo Jia.

Guo Jia is hailed as a ghost, and he has no plans to leave behind, but what is more famous is that he was once involved in the death penalty by Chen Qun.

It is said that he was drunk and lustful, and liked beautiful women. Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie once said that every time Guo Jia appeared, the women around him were different.

These few habits are the Wei and Jin romantics handed down by later generations, which are praised and praised by the gentry.

Seeing that Xun Chen should have finished his work, Yuan Xi said, "There are some military affairs outside, please go out and watch, sir."

Xun Chen understood and stood up, and the two women quickly helped him get dressed. Xun Chen laughed and slapped the two women on the buttocks, "It's been a long night, you wait for me in the house."

When the two women heard this, they blushed and agreed.

Xun Chen followed Yuan Tan out of the mansion, and the two asked people to prepare the carriage, guarded by soldiers on both sides, and the carriage started to drive slowly on the streets of Beixincheng.

Xun Chen said to Yuan Tan with a smile: "These women have their own beauty, the eldest son can bear it."

Yuan Tan smiled wryly, "Don't dare to miss a big deal."

He recounted the conversation with Yuan Xi just now to Xun Chen, and it was accurate, obviously he had a good memory.

After he finished speaking, he said: "Please tell me, sir, how much truth is my second brother?"

Xun Chen stroked his goatee and sighed, "I can't tell the truth from the lies."

"But Second Master Yuan has a lot of ambition."

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "I'm also going to the doctor in an emergency. Otherwise, besides my second brother, who else can I count on in the Yuan family?"

Xun Chen waved his hand, "Let me ask first, do you think Second Master Yuan colluded with Gongsun Zan?"

Yuan Tan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think so."

He suddenly came to his senses, it seemed that when Yuan Xi was talking about things with him, he just made a big deal for himself, and covered up the matter lightly!

I think should not be?
Seeing Yuan Tan's expression, Xun Chen said, "It's not a big deal. Since the second son of Yuan is going back to Yecheng, let General Gao lead the troops to fight Baima Yicong on the side of Beixincheng, so he can see Clue."

"Anyway, Gao Lan is Yuan Shang's man, so it's time to test him out."

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Gao Lan is suspicious, but he has done too much, and he is not tempted by the beauty, showing his flaws."

Xun Chen nodded: "The second son Yuan and the eldest son have talked about so many things, including the rescue of Cao Cao's family. Regardless of whether it is feasible or not, the eldest son is not afraid that I will report to my younger brother Xun Yu?"

After hearing this, Yuan Tan said calmly, "Since I believe in Mr., of course I don't need to be suspicious of people, and I don't need to be suspicious of employers."

"And I believe that what I can give to my husband is much more than what Cao Cao gave to Xun Yu."

After hearing this, Xun Chen nodded and smiled, "Eldest Young Master is really refreshing."

"My lord sent the eldest son to check Beixin City, it should be to let the two sons have a rift between each other and pave the way for the third son."

"This is a dilemma. I also had a headache before I came here."

"But I didn't expect that before I made a move, the second son would settle the matter first."

"Although the third son needs to be on guard, the second son also has to guard against it."

"However, the Second Young Master's reckless killing of the nobles is a stain, and I am afraid that his achievements will be limited in the future."

"Eldest Young Master's situation is unfavorable, but as a counselor, of course it's more interesting to turn around the disadvantages."

"The Eldest Young Master appreciates me so much, I will definitely help the Eldest Young Master win the position of the Patriarch of the Yuan Family!"

Yuan Tan was excited, knelt down and said, "Everything is thanks to you, sir!"

I'm afraid Yuan Shao would never have imagined that Yuan Tan had already completely bought Xun Chen!
Yuan Tan was proud of himself. Since Yuan Shang was able to deceive his father and change the information about Beixincheng beyond recognition, he could naturally conceal the matter of privately buying Xun Chen.

Yuan Tan knew about Yuan Shang's mischief on the grain and grass in Beixin City, but he did not inform Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't join forces with him at that time, so what did he do with him?
But now that he is united with Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang's handle is much more useful.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang all have secrets that they cannot easily reveal.

How can anyone who can compete for the Patriarch be a naive person.

Yuan Xi is also pretending that he seems to kill the gentry indiscriminately, but it is not that he does not rely on the gentry at all.

Although the gentry can't lose their tail, it is impossible to completely abandon the gentry if they want to win the world.

He called Zhao Yun, Quyi and Wu Zhao, and arranged to leave Beixincheng.
