Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 463
Hearing Yuan Xi's words, Gongsun Kang's heart was shaken, and a look of extreme astonishment appeared on his face,

It's not that he doesn't believe it, but in his opinion, Yuan Xi's words are too outrageous!

Since the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han established the four prefectures of the Han Dynasty. At one time, most of the Korean Peninsula was included in the territory, leaving only the southernmost area with a radius of several hundred miles for Sanhan. Unable to support the expenditure, he began to gradually abandon Zhenfanlintun and other counties.

Since then, Goguryeo, which was still very poor at that time, began to take the opportunity to encroach on the territory under the jurisdiction of Xuantu County, and continued to harass Lelang County. At the same time, it threatened Liaodong, where the Gongsundu family is now. It has been completely impossible to take into account the frontier, which has caused the border peoples to start to move around even more.

In later generations, because of the massacre of the Gongsundu family, the remaining people were either killed or relocated inland, and Liaodong and Liaoxi were vacated, and then Koguryo took advantage of it, took the opportunity to rise, and became a hidden danger on the frontier in the future.

From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, for thousands of years, they wanted to expand the territory and take the Korean Peninsula back to China, but due to various reasons, they failed in the end.

Now that Yuan Xi knows this kind of result, Koguryo must not be cheap in this life. They all feel that the Korean peninsula is bitter, cold and barren, but in Yuan Xi's eyes, there is no bad land, it just depends on how to use it.

Yuan Xi's current situation is not good, but it is definitely not bad. After all, even in the late Han Dynasty, the princes of all parties in the Central Plains were able to fight against these dishonest foreigners. However, after the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, things went from bad to worse. After the chaos of China, the Central Plains could never return to the peak period of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms for thousands of years.

Therefore, Yuan Xi tried his best to persuade the Gongsun family, and first agreed with the outside world. At this time, if he fought with the Gongsun family internally, he would only benefit outsiders.

But Gongsun Kang didn't think so, he thought in his heart, the other party said so much, isn't this just a plan to drive tigers and wolfs away?

Let the Gongsun family fight in the front, and then let your Yuan family stab the knife in the back?
Do you really think that the Gongsun family is so stupid if you want to make a few promises without proof?
Yuan Xi knew what Gongsun Kang was thinking when he saw Gongsun Kang's expression, and said with a smile: "I know that the young master still doesn't trust Yuan Shi, this is also human nature."

"So the sincerity of this first step, I will show it first."

"My promise is the following."

"One is to hand over the new method of grain farming and the method of manufacturing water conservancy tools to the Gongsun family. If they are made according to the law, the grain harvest will increase significantly within a few years."

"The second is to open a mutual market, and trade between the two sides. Youzhou will buy and sell items with Gongsun at a preferential price."

"Of course, the mutual market is mainly carried out by sea. Youzhou is responsible for the construction of the port and the cost of the commercial route, but the port is also managed by Youzhou."

"The third is to try to mediate the relationship between the Gongsun clan and Qingzhou. I know that there are pirates headed by Guan Hai Guancheng and others in Qingzhou. The Gongsun clan's caravan has suffered heavy losses, but there is nothing they can do. I can try to solve this matter."

"The fourth is to cultivate power for the Gongsun family around the emperor. I am now a shepherd in Xuzhou, and Zilong is a shepherd in Youzhou. I can recommend filial and honest talents, and recommend the sons of the Gongsun family to be officials in the court."

"Kong Wenju and I have always had a good relationship. With the help of the two of us, the Gongsun family will be by the emperor's side in the future. It will depend on the Gongsun family whether they can get the title of fief."

(Kong Rong) He has great ambitions, and he wants to raise his army to make contributions to the sages, and he has grown his roots from Haidai. -- "Kyushu Spring and Autumn"

The so-called "making friends with heroes in Haidai" mainly refers to Gongsundu who came across the sea. Gongsundu and Kong Rong echoed one east and one west, one south and one north, and they were allies who knew each other. Defeated, Gongsun's power in Qingzhou was almost uprooted.

Now that Kong Rong is an official beside the emperor, this is a great opportunity for the Gongsun family to establish a relationship with the Han court.

Gongsun Kang was quite moved when he heard it, but when he heard the fourth point, he almost rolled his eyes. Everyone knows that it was you, the Yuan family, who defeated Kong Rong. Now you say that the two sides have a good relationship?
Yuan Xi saw Gongsun Kang's expression of disbelief, and said with a smile: "Whether it is true or not, we will naturally understand when Gongsun sends someone to meet the emperor."

"That day I returned Kong Wenju's wife and daughter. They were very grateful to me. The stronger the relationship between the two sides, the younger one can check this point."

Others on the side didn't feel anything, but Jushou and Zhao Yun tried their best to stop the twitching, Mr. Xindao really dared to say it.

When they were in Huaicheng, they saw the way Kong Rong gritted his teeth when he saw Yuan Xi with their own eyes. Is this called a good relationship?

However, Gongsun Kang couldn't help believing Yuan Xi's vows, after all, Yuan Xi's reputation has been extremely resounding in the world in the past two years, especially in catering to the emperor, and it has played an extremely important role.

Although Yuan Xi was not present in person, it was precisely because of this that many advisers lamented his ability to strategize, and he walked step by step from Beixincheng without a single defeat, from Tian Chou Liu Bei, to Kong Rong, Gongsun Zan, and then When it comes to Sun Ce and Yuan Yao, all of them have suffered a big loss under his hands.

Therefore, even the mighty Gongsun family in the north must carefully consider the fate of being an enemy of Yuan Xi when facing Yuan Xi.

Gongsun Kang hesitated for a while, then said: "According to what the envoy said, we should make friends with Wuhuan and deal with Xianbei and Goguryeo?"

"Not to mention Wuhuan, the Gongsun family is not easy to deal with two parties at the same time, right?"

Yuan Xi said: "As for this point, I suggest that the Gongsun family focus on dealing with Goguryeo first."

"As for Xianbei, I'll figure out a way."

"In case things go wrong, I will dispatch the Youzhou Army to send troops eastward along the Great Wall frontier to help the Gongsun family defend against foreign enemies."

After hearing this, Gongsun Kang thought to himself that if, as Yuan Xi said, the hidden dangers of the two parties were resolved, then for the Gongsun family, it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Because the Gongsun family is very ambitious, it is its established policy to separate Liaodong, but the surrounding enemies are also a threat to the Gongsun family.

Surrounded by enemies, if you want to stick to success, you will be defeated sooner or later, so expansion is the only way out.

With Yuan Xi's promise now, the Gongsun family saw the light of day, and it was impossible to give up this opportunity. Yuan Xi was sure of this, and boldly threw out the bait that the Gongsun family had to swallow.

Of course, the fish may break the fishing line in the end, or it may grow up and bite back. Yuan Xi doesn't care about this. As long as he gets more benefits than the Gongsun family and grows faster than the Gongsun family, he doesn't have to worry about these.

After all, Yuan Xi said that a stable rear was more important than anything else. What he most wanted to see was the stability of the Liaodong Peninsula in five to ten years, so that he could free up his hands and fight for hegemony in the Central Plains.

What the Gongsun family needs is a window of opportunity, so why not Yuan Xi?
Gongsun Kang was already moved, and said: "I would like to hear the details."

At present, Jushou and Guo Jia came out separately, and explained to Gongsun Kang one by one how to deal with various situations and how Youzhou can help Gongsun.

After talking for a long time, Gongsun Kang saw that Youzhou had dealt with almost every situation, so he believed in Yuan Xi's sincerity, and said immediately: "I will rush back right now, and I will make sure that everything you say is not a word. No, bring it to Father."

"If father nods, the two sides can become allies."

"At that time, the Gongsun family will show the corresponding sincerity and repay the envoy."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Okay!"

"Then I will wait for the good news!"

After the two sides negotiated, even if Gongsun Kangdang wanted to rush back, Yuan Xi said, "Don't you stay in the city for a few days?"

Gongsun Kang replied: "On the way into the city just now, I have seen blacksmith shops and water conservancy facilities. Kang understands that the operation of Youzhou in the past few years is by no means a fluke."

"If the two sides join forces in the future, Kang must ask the envoy for advice."

"I can't delay this matter, forgive Kang for not being able to stay, so I'm leaving."

They sent Gongsun Kang out of the city, and after a while, his convoy disappeared at the end of the road.

Guo Jia sighed: "Among the heirs of today's princes, this Gongsun Kang is considered outstanding."

"Its ambition is not small, so it must be guarded against."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "In troubled times, no one has a small ambition, it depends on whether they have the corresponding ability."

Jushou smiled and said, "Young master is right!"

"But this time the pressure has come to Youzhou. Not to mention Wuhuan in the pass, Xianbei outside the Great Wall is not so easy to talk to."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Indeed, in the face of survival, Xianbei really doesn't need to look at Youzhou's face, so we need to contact the North and South Xiongnu."

Everyone nodded in unison, the mess in Youzhou, with the Gongsun family being pulled away, the next problem to be solved became much more organized.

Although Xianbei could enter the pass to plunder, but if the Xiongnu sneaked in from the rear and threatened its hinterland at this time, Xianbei would not dare to act rashly.

The next question is, what do the northern and southern Xiongnu need most, and what conditions can they use to impress them, and they have never intimidated Xianbei, making them be afraid to go south easily?

Yuan Xi directly stated that he was not clear about this issue, and then pushed this troublesome matter to Guo Jiaju and Lu Xun and other advisers to think about it.

Seeing the looks of contempt on several people's faces, Yuan Xi smiled wryly and said, "If I say no, then I really won't, and I won't slap my face swollen to pretend to be fat."

"What's more, there are the last two forces, the remnants of Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan in Guannei. Zilong and I need to find a way."

In the face of so many complicated and entangled forces, without the help of Jizhou soldiers, Yuan Xi could not send troops to conquer, it was purely courting death.

Therefore, he can only dance on the tip of the knife, engage in military tactics, and use negotiations and transactions to solve problems on the battlefield.

Then the weakest force should be dealt with the most, and that is the remnant of Gongsun Zan.

A few months passed, with the end of the autumn planting, the arrival of winter, frequent wars in the middle, and the approaching Chinese New Year, the opportunity to solve the problem gradually came.

Both Zhen Mi and Mrs. Wu are about to give birth.

Yuan Xi walked back and forth anxiously in the courtyard, he thought that Mrs. Wu should be pregnant at least a month earlier than Zhen Mi, how could both be born at the same time?
He was a father for the first time, and he was extremely uneasy. The mixture of anxiety and uneasiness made him feel agitated. He wanted to go in and see if there were any omissions, but he knew it would be bad for him to go in, so he had to endure it.

After all, this world does not have as safe a medical environment as the future ones. The more idle people wait, the easier it is to bring in dirty things and affect the health of pregnant women.

Yuan Xi was even more flustered than he was on the battlefield at this time. He was thinking about the things he had arranged before, wondering if there were any mistakes.

Zhen Mi and Mrs. Wu eat a healthy diet every day, and they also do activities on weekdays, playing Wu Qinxi, so they are in good condition.

The medical tools used in the production are all boiled and sterilized, and Wen Po is also literate. Not only is she rich in experience, she also went to a free school to train Hua Tuo's apprentices on infection prevention knowledge, which should prevent accidents to the greatest extent.

Yuan Xi found that he would be confused if he cared about it, but he had to worry, because in ancient times, giving birth was really a matter of narrow escape.

I don't know how many hours later, the sky was getting dark, Lu Lingqi came over and asked Yuan Xi to eat first, but Yuan Xi didn't have any appetite, and after waiting for an unknown how long, finally there was a cry.
