Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 722
Yuan Xi told the truth. In his heart, the most troublesome person for Sili was not Ma Teng, Han Sui, or Yuan Shu, but Zhong Yao, the nail left by Cao Cao.

Later, after the Battle of Guandu, Zhong Yao recruited Ma Teng and Han Sui to surrender in the Sili area and made them submit to Cao Cao. He calmed down the situation in Liangzhou, Sili, defeated the high officials in Bingzhou, and ensured the stability of Cao Cao's hinterland. It can be said that Cao Wei One of the founding heroes.

In this world, Zhong Yao persuaded Zhang Yan and Ma Teng and Han Sui to surrender, and participated in Huaicheng to kidnap the emperor. Now he is placed by Cao Cao in Sili to stabilize the situation. It can be said that he is a very important figure in Cao Cao's camp.

With people like him in Sili, it would be difficult to improve the situation. If you want to kill him, one way is to send troops to attack Huaicheng, but this will not only alert the enemy, but also cause a large number of casualties.

So the other option is assassination.

Ever since he learned that Yuan Shao's poisoning was related to Cao Cao and was assassinated by Cao Ying's assassins, Yuan Xi was no longer prepared to hold back on Cao Ying. After all, there was no reason left on the battlefield.

Zhong Yao's death will break the balance of power in Sili, causing Ma Teng, Han Sui and Yuan Shu to have different ideas. When these two forces are no longer suppressed by Zhong Yao, Sili will fall into complete chaos, leaving Yuan Xi with An opportunity to take advantage of!
After Yang Feng listened to Yuan Xi's speech, she thought for a while and then said decisively: "Okay."

"It just so happens that this person is also the culprit who instigated the civil strife in the Black Mountain Army. I want to settle this account with him."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Then Commander Lao Yang will be in charge."

"There are many soldiers under my command who are proficient in martial arts. How many people are needed to sneak into the city with the commander?"

Yang Feng heard this and said, "I am enough."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "Zhong Yao is extremely cautious. According to the news from the spies in Huaicheng, there are at least nearly a hundred guards inside and outside his residence."

"It's unclear whether Commander Yang can escape unharmed when surrounded by so many people, right?"

Yang Feng replied: "I have Taipingdao's eyes and ears in the city."

Yuan Xi advised: "With all due respect, not everyone in Taiping Road is loyal to Commander Yang."

"As long as there is one spy from Cao Ying, the whole thing will fail."

"Just like the Emperor's Order on Clothes and Belts handed to Dong Cheng, until now, no one knows who betrayed Dong Cheng and others, and how the news was leaked."

"Does Commander Yang really think that in Huaicheng, where Cao Ying's forces are entangled, the people of Taiping Dao can be trusted?"

After hearing this, Yang Feng thought for a while and then said: "Then let's act separately. Make an appointment in the city to meet at a secret signal and listen to my instructions."

Only then did Yuan Xi show a look of relief, "Okay, this is the secret code of the token. Use this to hand over after entering the city."

Yang Feng put away the token, turned around and went out.

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Lingqi's expression and comforted her: "Don't think about it, you are not suitable for sneaking in."

"The place where you can really take revenge is on the battlefield."

Lu Lingqi said: "I will wait patiently."

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, we won't wait too long."

"After all, Mr. Fengxiao and I have already figured out a countermeasure for the other two forces. Let's see if we can succeed."

Yang Feng went out and saw that Yang was still sitting on the horse. She couldn't help but look back at Yuan Xi's wooden house, but she still got on the horse and took Yang along the road to find a place to settle in the mountains. .

She said to Yang on the horse: "There is a village a few dozen miles ahead. Most of them are my former subordinates. It is very safe. You can stay here for now."

Yang said softly: "What did sister do again?"

Yang Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be back soon."

Yang was silent for a while, "How many things like this do you have to do, sister?"

"Where do I go from here?"

Yang Feng was silent for a long time before saying, "Maybe we have to wait until the world is at peace?"

Sili, Zuo Fengyi.

Ma Chao has been very annoyed recently.

One of the reasons for this is naturally because of his upcoming wedding, and the bride has been secretly changed.

That's all. After Ma Chao brought the bride over, he found an opportunity to see her face, which made him even more uncomfortable. The bride was indeed too ugly!
Of course, according to this world's standards for women, the bride can be said to be average-looking, but not very ugly. This ugliness is measured by Ma Chao's own standards.

Ma Chao is a famous handsome man among the young talents in Liangzhou. Moreover, Liangzhou is a place where Qiang, Hu and Han people live together, and the customs are open. There are not even a thousand but also eight hundred Qiang and Hu women who fall in love with Ma Chao.

Therefore, at this age, Ma Chao has already seen countless women, so he naturally understands the difference in women's appearance. Among the women with whom he has a romantic relationship, there are many who can be said to have outstanding appearance. Compared with these people, the Yang family's bride is simply unbearable to Ma Chao. See you!

It would be fine if she were just an ordinary concubine, but she was his wife. How could he hold his head high in front of others in the future?

Ma Chao couldn't bear it before getting married, so he approached Ma Teng and proposed to him that someone from the Ma clan should marry Yang instead of him. After hearing this, Ma Teng looked unhappy and said: "The Yang family is a famous and wealthy family in the world, how can the marriage be such a child's play?"

"And if you join the Yang family, you can wash away the shame of your grandfather taking Qiang and Hu women. From now on, you can enter the ranks of the gentry. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After passing this village, there won't be that shop. Do you know how many children in the clan are envious of you?"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "But the bride has been changed, and her birth date and birth date are all wrong!"

"If people find out about this, wouldn't it become a joke?"

Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. Rich families have a lot of bloody things."

Ma Chao wanted to talk again, but Ma Teng was already impatient, "Besides, you are not the legitimate son, and the Ma family's title will not fall to you. I deliberately planned to lead you to fight in wars and to marry the Yang family. Don't you know that I Painful?"

"Go back and prepare well for the marriage. Don't create any complications. Go ahead!"

Ma Chao withdrew in a depressed manner. He got further and further away. He looked back at Ma Teng's bedroom, with a hint of gloom on his face.

Ma Teng was right. The Ma family's inheritance rights and title had nothing to do with him, so Ma Teng wanted to set up his own business.

But why shouldn't I get these things?

He fought life and death outside, fought bloody battles, and won great credit for the Ma family, but in the end all the benefits went to the legitimate son who stayed behind?
Just when Ma Chao was worried about the marriage, a piece of news came, which shocked Ma Chao.

Gao Gan united several tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, and in the name of attacking the Han traitor Cao Cao, they sent troops from Taiyuan to Hedong, went all the way south, and captured Anyi, the seat of Hanoi!

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hedong who had surrendered to Cao Cao immediately because Duan Xuan was killed, surrendered even faster now. He had already submitted a letter of surrender before Gao Gan's soldiers and horses arrived at Anyi!

Now Gao Lan and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Huns, with the assistance of Wang Kuang, occupied several large cities in the east of the river at an extremely fast speed, and marched towards Zuo Fengyi where Ma Teng was!
After Ma Chao heard the news, he secretly thought that the other party was crazy. The Bingzhou soldiers and the Southern Huns were weaker than the Liangzhou soldiers. How dare they take the initiative to attack him?

But the Ma family did not dare to be careless. Although the number of high-ranking officials was unknown, it was roughly estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. At this time, the Liangzhou soldiers were scattered in several states and counties. In a hurry, Zuo Fengyi was able to meet the enemy's soldiers. It’s just over ten thousand.

Among the Ma family, Ma Chao was undoubtedly the most capable, so Ma Teng urgently ordered Ma Chao to lead troops to resist, and Ma Chao's marriage was put on hold again. This played into Ma Chao's wish.

At the same time, Ma Teng also sent a message to Zhong Yao who was in Huai City, Hanoi, agreeing to attack Hedong from both sides. After all, if Hedong was lost, Zuo Fengyi and Hanoi on his left and right would be separated, making it extremely difficult to respond.

However, the war in Hedong was tense, so Ma Teng's messenger could only go southwest from Hedong, passing through Henan Yin and then north to Hanoi. When passing through Henan Yin occupied by Yuan Shu, the messenger arrived at Luoyang, where Yuan Shu settled.

Luoyang, as the former capital of the Han Dynasty, had gone through wars and had long been dilapidated, almost desolate and inhabited.

Yuan Shu had previously escaped from Shouchun and failed to attack Nanyang. He fled to Henan Yinjin and forced Huaicheng. After a battle with Lu Bu, his vitality was seriously injured, so he did not catch up with Cao Cao to kidnap the emperor.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu realized that he had been tricked by Cao Cao, but he had no choice but to swallow his anger and ran to Luoyang, where no one wanted him. Using this as a base, in order to raise food and grass, he robbed people everywhere, causing trouble for one party.

Now he received Ma Teng's messenger who went to Huaicheng to report a message. The reason why the messenger came to see Yuan Shu was because he also brought a letter from Ma Teng to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu opened Ma Teng's letter. In the letter, Ma Teng was quite polite. He said that he was now an ally of Cao Cao. Hanoi was now occupied by the high-ranking army of Yuan Shao's clan. They should join forces and work together to destroy the enemy.

After putting down the letter, Yuan Shu exchanged a few words with the messenger and asked that the messenger wanted to go to Huaicheng to report the letter to Zhong Yao. He then said: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go to the other hotel. We will entertain you with food and wine. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow." "

The messenger hesitated and said: "But if there is a delay..."

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "How can we travel hundreds of miles if our troops and horses are tired?"

"I'll prepare a few good horses for you. Let's get some rest before we hit the road. There won't be any delay."

Seeing Yuan Shu's hospitality, the messenger could not refuse, so he thanked him immediately and went to rest.

After Yuan Shu and other messengers left, he thought about it gloomily.

Yuan Shao's team seems to be ready to take action. How should I choose?

Should he side with Cao Cao and encircle and suppress the high officials, or should he return to the Yuan family, kill the messenger, and raid Huaicheng?
The reason why he was so hesitant was because Yuan Shang from Yecheng and Yuan Xi from Youzhou secretly sent people over to offer him a high price, so that Yuan Shu could be sold at a high price.

To be honest, he didn't want to succumb to Cao Cao, but could he really make a comeback?

Especially when Yuan Xi promised to support him to become the head of the Yuan clan and retain the imperial title of Zhong clan when things are done in the future. Is this true?
News of Gao Gan's attack on Hanoi soon reached Wancheng in Nanyang.

Zhuge Liang looked at the map and said to Huang Yueying: "The first person to enter the game was the high-ranking cadre. Although it is considered a surprise attack, this is also expected."

"The key point of Sili now is Yuan Shu of Henan Yin."

"If Fierce Tiger joins forces with him, it would be a good choice at the moment."

"But if that's the case, then the fierce tiger and I are in conflict with each other."
