Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 51 I'm going to swear again
Yuan Xi stood on the carriage, talking loudly, and everyone burst into laughter from time to time.

Yuan Xi got excited and pulled Zhao Yun who was beside him into the car.

"This is General Zhao Zilong, do you know him?"

The crowd was silent for a while, and a voice said, "Isn't this the general of Gongsun Zan's army who led troops to attack us a while ago?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the people.

"Yes, it looks familiar. I saw it when I was defending the city. Why did you come to the city?"

Yuan Xi heard this, and shouted: "That's right!"

"General Zhao turned from darkness to light, and came to us from Gongsun Zan's army!"

"A few days ago, General Zhao helped us defeat the Xiongnu rogues and Baimayi Cong!"

"If we don't repel them, the thousands of acres of wheat outside our city will be robbed and destroyed as in the past two years, and we will go hungry for the winter again!"

"But this year, we got all the wheat back!"

"Enough to feed us through the winter!"

"You said, General Zhao protected our food, is he a good guy or a bad guy?"

Everyone shouted together: "Good man!"

"And!" Yuan Xi said while the iron was hot: "General Zhao was going to seek refuge with Mu Liuhou of Youzhou!"

"Liu Hou has been treating us Youzhou people well all these years!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Good!"

Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and has a very high status, which is equivalent to the Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty.

In the past few years since he came to Youzhou, he has lightly paid and paid little money, resumed production, and the salt and iron industry in Youzhou has flourished, and tens of thousands of people from Qing, Ji, Yan and others have defected to Youzhou.

The bitter cold place in Youzhou can still attract so many people, which shows that Liu Yu has won the hearts of the people.

"But Liu Hou was killed by Gongsun Zan!" Yuan Xi shouted.

"Gongsun Zan is good at killing the clansmen of the Han family, and sent troops to plunder us, is he still a state official!"

Among the crowd, there were many who had been tortured by Gongsun Zan, and after hearing this, they gritted their teeth and shouted, "It doesn't count!"

"How many years!" Yuan Xi shouted: "These years, which year can we live in peace and stability!"

"We just want to farm well, eat well, and live well, isn't it wrong!"

The crowd was excited: "It's not wrong!"

"We are not wrong!"

Many people broke down in tears and asked, "Why is it so difficult to have a full meal?"

Yuan Xi shouted: "If Gongsun Zan is not eliminated for a day, we will live in fear!"

"That's why I want to go back to Yecheng and persuade my father to bring the army back as soon as possible to completely wipe out Gongsun Zan!"

"Of course I admit, I really want to marry a wife."

Everyone laughed again.

"As long as we get rid of Gongsun Zan, the people of Youzhou will be able to live a stable life again!"

"Better than when Liu Hou was here!"

When the crowd heard this, they cheered loudly.

Yuan Xi held up Zhao Yun's hand: "I will never abandon you. During my absence, General Zhao will act as the guard of the city on my behalf!"

"What he did is equivalent to what I did!"

"If he has done something wrong to you, I swear on my head that I will definitely give you an explanation. If he breaks this oath, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

As soon as these words came out, not only everyone was shocked, but Zhao Yun was also shocked.

For Yuan Xi to say this in front of everyone, it is tantamount to betting his reputation for the rest of his life for himself!
Yuan Xi actually trusted him so much!

Complicated and incomprehensible feelings surged in Zhao Yun's chest. How similar is this kind of trust to the brotherhood of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them!

He said in a deep voice: "Zilong will live up to your words!

Yuan Xi was proud, it's done!
Zhao Yun is the one who you respect one foot and he pays you back.

Now Zhao Yun will definitely work hard and protect Beixin City wholeheartedly!
This is Yuan Xi's basic plan, and only in the hands of someone like Zhao Yun will he be at ease.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Yuan Xi also raised his hands high: "I will be back as soon as possible!"

The people in Beixincheng dispersed contentedly.

Yuan Xi felt a little pity, in this way, his disguise in front of Yuan Tan would be slightly damaged, and the other party might be wary of him.

But sometimes, I have to stand upright and timid, and I will only lose more.

However, with Zhao Yun and Yuan Tan in charge, Beixincheng should not be a big problem.

Regardless of Zhao Yun, his elder brother Yuan Tan is definitely underestimated by later generations.

In the battle of Nanpi in later generations, Cao Cao personally took command and dispatched two great counselors, Xun You and Guo Jia, four of whom were Cao Chun and Wu Ziliang, breaking the contract and attacking Yuan Tan. The troops retreated, and finally Cao Cao went into battle himself to kill Yuan Tan with difficulty.

Yuan Tan and Xun Chen retreated into the room, Yuan Tan smiled wryly and said, "My second brother, is this the original kind of person?"

"Before he left Beixincheng, he had always been cowardly. Why does he seem to be a different person now?"

Xun Chen's face was solemn: "I missed you, this trip to Beixincheng is well worth it."

"Behind the Second Young Master Yuan, there must be someone with great help."

Yuan Tan was startled: "If this is the case, is there a third force in Yecheng?"

Xun Chen raised his eyes: "There is only one force in Yecheng, and that is the one who is loyal to the lord."

Yuan Tan hastily bowed, "It's the boy who made a slip of the tongue."

Xun Chen was actually even more unwilling.

On the surface, he is a neutral faction in the Yuan family, but he supports Yuan Tan in private.

If Yuan Xi wanted to win him over, Xun Chen thought he could pretend to agree and deceive Yuan Xi into trusting him, so he could get to know Yuan Xi's details.

As a result, Yuan Xi gave him two maids and never spoke to him again.

Am I just so unworthy of wooing?
What Xun Chen didn't know, Yuan Xi had already guessed that the Yingchuan gentry had defected to Yuan Tan to fight against the Jizhou gentry who had defected to Yuan Shang, so he didn't want to waste his efforts.

Yuan Xi now thinks very clearly that he is now within the Yuan family, and he has absolutely no capital that anyone can rely on.

So he had to leave Beixincheng and return to Yecheng to open up the situation.

Xun Chen said in a deep voice, "We have to be careful."

"I learned that the Second Young Master Yuan has personally defended the city at the risk of risk for the past three years. He often ate and lived with the soldiers. He is extremely loved by the soldiers and the common people. It is not a small plan to be able to do so."

"His forbearance is comparable to the lord's six-year filial piety."

Yuan Tan sighed: "What you said is very true, but Yuan Shang is very powerful now. If I don't join hands, I can't break the situation. The support of my second brother is very important to me now."

Xun Chen said: "That's true, but you must be on guard against the Second Young Master."

"Being able to kill Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, shows that the Second Young Master's men are not weak. If he really goes crazy, we will be in danger."

Yuan Tan thought of Yuan Xi's calm face when he talked about throwing the gentry down at the top of the city, with cold sweat dripping down his face.

Seeing him, Xun Chen comforted him, "Don't worry, the eldest son is the eldest son of Yuan after all, and the second son will not mess around for the time being."

"The second son is not without weaknesses. I think he likes beautiful concubines, so he can prescribe the right medicine in the future."

"Besides, the Second Young Master's departure is also an opportunity for the Eldest Young Master."

Yuan Tan hurriedly said, "Please advise, sir."

Xun Chen nodded and said: "Youzhou will probably be given to the second son in the future. This place is full of foreigners on three sides. It is really not easy to develop, but it has great potential."

"Salt and iron, horses, soldiers, and land are all the best choices."

"Originally thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city were managed by Gao Lan. He disappeared, but we had a good chance."

"The eldest son has the talent to command the army. He can take over these soldiers and horses to fight with the white horse justice. If we can defeat them and incorporate them, we can use the battle to support the war and strengthen our power."

"If you can take the opportunity to occupy a few cities, you will have more bargaining power with the second son."

"The old man speculates that this may also be the purpose of the lord to send the eldest son to Beixin City, to test whether you can lead the troops to conquer Qingzhou alone!"

Yuan Tan listened, and said: "Good advice, sir, when the second younger brother leaves, I will follow the white horse for a while!"

He was a little unconvinced, Baima Yicong, who could be defeated by his second brother, shouldn't be a big problem in dealing with it, right?
