Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 713
When he heard that Liu Bei was going to Wancheng in person, Guan Yu was startled and said quickly: "Brother, how can you put yourself in danger?"

"Mr. Yuan Zhi also said just now that Zhang Xiu's attitude is ambiguous. What if he has evil intentions and wants to harm my elder brother?"

"At least we have to wait until the news of Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang has passed and the situation has calmed down before we can take action."

After hearing this, Liu Bei showed a look of regret on his face, "My second brother is right, but it's a pity to wait so long. If he leaves Wancheng, I'm afraid he will miss it?"

After hearing this, Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "The situation in Xinye is now stable. How about you give me an excuse to send me as an envoy to Wancheng?"

"First, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Xiu Gourd. Second, I will visit Kong Ming on behalf of my eldest brother to see if it is as Mr. Yuan Zhi said."

Liu Bei hesitated, "If it is as Mr. Yuanzhi suspected, wouldn't it be dangerous if my second brother goes?"

After hearing this, Guan Yu laughed and said, "With the skills of Zhang Xiu's men, what can they do to me?"

"Although Zhang Xiu himself is a bit brave, he is still much inferior to me. If he dares to do something evil to me, I will capture him and hold him hostage on the spot. It will not be a problem to escape from the city!"

Liu Bei listened and discussed with Xu Shu for a long time. Seeing Xu Shu's firm opposition, he had to say: "Zhang Xiu's attitude is not clear. I can't let my second brother take risks."

Guan Yu said with confidence: "With Zhang Xiu's group of Xiliang soldiers, there is no way they can defeat me!"

Liu Bei still shook his head and said: "If the second brother leaves, who else can take charge of the job alone except the third brother?"

"If I were Zhang Xiu, between Liu Jingsheng and Cao Mengde, I'm afraid the chance of choosing the latter would be higher. If he attacks, it will be extremely difficult for Xin Ye to deal with it, so I'd better wait and see for the time being before testing again."

After Guan Yu heard this, it was worth giving up.

In Shouchun, Jiujiang, Taishi Ci heard a message and sent out all his troops from the east of the Yangtze River to attack the towns on the north bank of the Yangtze River. He occupied Ruxukou and went straight to Wankou. How dare you do this!"

"I will lead two thousand naval troops southward to repel the rats from Jiangdong!"

Lu Xun on the side advised: "General Taishi, please be patient."

"Not to mention the dozens of generals and tens of thousands of naval troops deployed on the opposite side, the chances of winning here are really slim."

"Moreover, the Huai River and Chao Lake waterways are narrow and large ships cannot travel. The Shouchun Navy could only enter the Han River through the Huai River, and then go south from Guangling to the Yangtze River, but the river has long been blocked by Jiangdong."

"So if the general wants to rush to help Wankou, he can only enter the Wanshui River from Chaohu Lake. But there are more than a hundred navy ships in Chaohu Lake, so it is difficult to fight against Jiangdong."

"Moreover, we are also responsible for marching westward to contain Yingchuan. If the general leaves at this time, how will he cooperate with the young master?"

After hearing this, Taishi Ci said dullly: "Then let's forget it?"

"If Lujiang is lost in our hands, how will we face the young master?"

"Ruxukou has been lost. Jiangdong's rats will definitely move north to occupy Chaohu. Hefei will become the front line. How can Liu Ye, who is building a city, stop Jiangdong's army?"

"What should I do about Li Shu in Wancheng?"

"Are we just going to watch him being besieged?"

Facing Tai Shici's series of questions, Lu Xun also had a headache and felt that his whole head was getting bigger.

How do I know, I'm still a 16-year-old kid!

When Yuan Xi sent Lu Xun south to station in Shouchun, Lu Xun thought that all parties would not use force this spring, and they would only need to find ways to contain Cao's army's retreat and cooperate with Yuan Xi's main attack.

But who would have known that things would change suddenly after Sun Ce's death. The blue-eyed man who inherited the Sun family not only failed to join forces with Yuan Xi, but also had plans for Lujiang!

Lu Xun knew about Mrs. Wu, so he naturally didn't believe that Mrs. Wu and Yuan Xi's relationship would turn out so quickly as soon as they returned to Jiangdong, not to mention that the other party left their daughter in Youzhou.

The only explanation is that the son of the Sun family named Sun Quan is by no means an easy person to deal with. He was probably covered up by Sun Ce's light before, but now that he stood in front of the stage, he began to show his fangs!

Thinking of this, Lu Xun spoke up: "Jiangdong's army has captured several large cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Although some people have fled north, most of them still remain in the cities."

"This is certainly because the people of Jiangdong are unwilling to leave their homes and are afraid of being questioned by the defenders, but it also shows that Jiangdong is very clever."

"It is said that after they captured the city, they bought people's hearts and surrendered the generals without asking any questions. The Jiangdong generals were originally biased towards Jiangdong, so this will make them surrender even more."

"This Sun Quan is very sophisticated and doesn't look like a young man in his fifteenth or sixteenth year."

Taishi Ci thought to himself, "Aren't you fifteen or sixteen years old too?"
Today's young people are becoming more and more scary.

Lu Xun didn't know that Tai Shici was vomiting at him in his heart, so he said to himself: "Although Sun Ce is dead, people in Jiangdong are surprisingly stable now. Now they are unanimously facing the outside world. We are facing each other head-on. Even if we can win, the price will be extremely heavy. "So I want to send a letter to Li Shu in the name of the governor of Jianghuai, asking him to lead his troops north to Hefei and leave an empty city in Jiangdong if things go wrong."

After hearing this, Taishi Ci nodded in agreement and said, "What Bo Fu said is true. Rather than burying all the defensive forces in Wancheng, it would be better to join forces and form a single plan."

"But speaking of Li Shu, he really has a unique vision. He actually took this opportunity to send Mr. Qiao's two girls to Shouchun. He really understands the prince's thoughts."

At this point, the two of them laughed tacitly. Lu Xun immediately realized that it was too rude and coughed quickly, "Now Jiangdong's brazen sneak attack is indeed beyond previous expectations, but they don't know our purpose. How can we If you try to delay here for one day, the young master will have a better chance of winning."

"The top priority is to keep an eye on Yingchuan. Now we can only wait and see what happens."

Taishi Ci nodded, stood up and said, "I'm going to inspect the navy."

He walked to the door and suddenly remembered something, "There are quite a lot of troublesome women in Shouchun."

"The one in the palace, did the young master tell me how to arrange it?"

Lu Xun thought that this was the biggest headache, and said helplessly: "It's precisely because the young master didn't tell me that I'm in such a difficult situation. Who knows what the young master is thinking!"

"He injured his throat earlier and has been recovering from his injuries. Since the young master didn't express his opinion, I couldn't just leave him alone. I could only let Zhuojing help take care of him."

"Now that Mr. Qiao has added two more girls, I sometimes really wonder, am I my sworn brother's strategist, or am I a chamberlain who helps him take care of his women?"

Taishi Ci burst out laughing after hearing this, "Bo Yan also learned to joke."

In the nearby hall of a mansion in the city, four women were sitting together, and the atmosphere was quite subtle.

Lu Xun's wife, Mrs. Liu, secretly looked at the three women in front of her. One of them she picked out at random was the most stunning beauty she had ever seen in her life. The three of them were ranked in the top three, and they were still Chunlan Qiuju. Each was good at winning.

Lu Xun had previously led his fleet from Youzhou south to Guangling. When passing through Haixi, he brought Liu to Shouchun. He wanted to avoid meeting Liu Bei and take the opportunity to play the emotional card.

As a result, Liu Bei ran thousands of miles to Xinye, and the father and daughter were missed. Lu Xun had no choice but to let Liu stay in the city temporarily.

When Mr. Liu was with Mrs. Mi Zhendu, the three of them were about the same age, and they got along quite well. Now that they were living alone, they felt a little lonely. But not long after, a woman with a rather unique identity moved into the house. , not only has a stunning appearance, but also exudes a unique aura all over her body.

Only later did Liu learn that this was actually Feng, the queen of the former pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu!
Feng's neck was still wrapped with a bandage. Liu learned from Lu Xun that Feng was almost killed by a concubine and injured her throat, which never fully recovered.

In addition, Yuan Xi said that Yuan Shu's palace was luxurious and not suitable for Shouchun's current situation, so he asked Lu Xun to find a way to deal with it.

After Lu Xun thought for a long time, he simply renovated the palace and separated it into residences with various long walls. Each of the residences had more than a dozen rooms, and then sold them to the nobles in Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's palace originally occupied a large area and cost a lot of money. No one could afford it or dare to buy it. However, after Lu Xun's renovation, not only the price was suitable, but the shape was not unreasonable. The Jianghuai gentry were wealthy, and everyone wanted to take the opportunity to sell it. Because of Lu Xun's face, the house was soon sold out.

Lu Xun used this to raise a lot of military expenses and food, but Feng had no place to stay, so Lu Xun built a courtyard next to his residence for Feng to live in, and asked his wife Liu to accompany and take care of it.

After going back and forth, Ms. Liu became familiar with Ms. Feng. Ms. Feng was actually not very old, only in her 20s, but she had a characteristic that she spoke straightforwardly.

Among the people Mrs. Liu has met, both Mi Zhen and Mrs. Du are quite intelligent, and it is inevitable that they would have to turn around when speaking. However, Mrs. Feng never talks in circles, which sometimes leaves Mrs. Liu speechless. Is it true that the queen is the same? Like this?
Another month passed, and two more girls came to the house, namely Xiao Qiao, who was sent to Shouchun by Li Shu.

While Ms. Liu was shocked by the beauty of the two women, Ms. Feng's first words when they met almost made her spit out the tea in her mouth.

Feng looked at Xiao Qiao and asked seriously: "Are you two also given to Yuan Shijun?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qiao, who had some thoughts in mind, blushed, and Mrs. Liu on the side even asked: "Why do you think so, madam?"

Feng turned around and asked Liu doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

"Am I wrong?"

Liu Shi sweated profusely, "Why do you think your Majesty would do this?"

"At least my husband has not mentioned this matter to me?"

Ms. Feng raised her head and thought for a while, "Look, the virtuous husband is the sworn brother of the envoy. He has assumed a high position of power at a young age. The wife is also the daughter of Liu Yuzhou, but she deigns to take care of me personally. What do you think? It’s not necessary, right?”

"I am now a prisoner of the rank and file. The only thing worth the price is my status as the queen of the false emperor. I have heard that many noble families like to take in distressed women who were once noble but have now become humble. It is a different feeling. .”

Only then did Xiao Qiao realize that this woman was actually Yuan Shu's queen, and she obviously had some unclear relationship with Yuan Xi!

Although Da Qiao was in a complicated mood, Xiao Qiao was even more angry and flushed. He had misjudged this fierce tiger!
I thought that the gentleman who wrote such good poems and acted politely was a good person, but now it seems that he is just a shameless lewd!
