Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73
Seeing Tian Feng's question, Yuan Xi said, "I heard that Cao Cao is quite filial. This attack on Xuzhou is also because his father was detained by Tao Qian's department."

"Cao Cao is now helping his father, so we also have a reason to help."

"I heard that Cao Song's family was detained somewhere in Taishan County. They set off from Yecheng with light clothes, and it took only seven or eight days to get there. If they were lucky, they might be rescued."

"Send it back to the Cao family at that time, and Cao Cao will have no excuse to attack Xuzhou."

"Even if he won't stop attacking Xuzhou, at least he won't use this excuse to massacre the city."

"In this way, my Yuan family's reputation of benevolence and righteousness will be less affected."

"If he can't slaughter the city, the morale of the soldiers attacking the city will not be high, and Xuzhou will fall back into an anxious tug-of-war. In two months, it will be winter. Cao Cao can only take down half of Xuzhou, and then the two sides will confront each other."

"Our army can take this opportunity to attack Qingzhou and open up the road to Xuzhou, so that next year we will be in the north and Cao Cao will be in the west, so he will not be able to monopolize Xuzhou."

"This kind of situation should be the most ideal for me, Yuan."

Tian Feng listened, first nodded slightly, then shook his head.

"Second Master Yuan thinks things are simple. This time is different from previous years. Cao Cao has come out in full force and vowed to take Xuzhou down. I'm afraid he won't retreat if he doesn't take Xuzhou down in winter."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Sir, you are right, but Yuan Shu from Yuzhou will definitely do something in Yanzhou."

"My husband and I made a bet that something will happen in Yanzhou within two months."

After hearing this, Tian Feng's eyes flashed brightly: "Okay!"

"This bet, the old man accepts!"

"Even if the second son is the son of the lord, I really want to hear the second son admit defeat!"

When everyone heard this sentence, they couldn't help looking at Yuan Shao.

Tian Feng has a tough personality and speaks very aggressively. The words just now did not give Yuan Shao face, so Yuan Shao doesn't like Tian Feng very much.

Yuan Shang's expression changed slightly.

Logically speaking, Tian Feng is still on his side, why would he support Yuan Xi this time?
Did Tian Feng believe that Yuan Xi would not succeed, or was there a reason he didn't know?

If Yuan Xi succeeds, won't the limelight overwhelm him?
He lowered his head and clenched his fists inside his sleeves.

Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. According to the knowledge of later generations, Tian Feng had always firmly supported and suppressed Cao Cao for some reason.

Although Tian Feng is closer to Yuan Shang on the surface, he will never miss anything that trips Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao saw that most of the advisers supported Yuan Xi, so he said, "Okay, since that's the case, Xian Yi will order five hundred soldiers and horses, and the generals will choose as you like."

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "I want Zhang He."

Everyone was a bit surprised when they heard this. Although Zhang He was a great leader, he was obviously not as brave as Yan Liang and ugly in battle. Why did Yuan Xi choose him?
After Yuan Shang came out of the room, his expression remained the same, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

What the second brother did has gradually escaped his control!

A few days ago, the second brother in his eyes was a cowardly and mediocre person, and he didn't dare to tell his father if he gave him food and grass to trip him up, probably because he was afraid that he would be subdued.

But Yuan Shang has a big heart disease.

About Yuan Xi's prophecy, and the rumors about Zhen Mi's childhood fortune teller.

If Zhen Mi will be rich and powerful in the future, does it mean that Zhen Mi's second elder brother who is about to marry may overwhelm her in the future?

Originally Yuan Shang scoffed at this, but after gradually understanding Yuan Xi's actions, he became more and more uneasy.

The second brother hides very deeply!

In particular, the second brother and his father Yuan Shao were born as concubine sons. If Yuan Shao can make a comeback and take control of the Yuan family, then the second brother may not be without hope!
Yuan Shang put his thumb in his mouth and bit it desperately. This time, if the second brother can really bring back Cao Song's family and solve the siege of Xuzhou, his reputation will definitely increase a lot!
No, this sign must be completely extinguished, otherwise it will be too late when the second brother becomes popular!

He thought hard, and suddenly thought of a person, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This chess piece, I didn't expect to be able to use it so soon.

But since the second brother has already played this move to death, he will be the general!
He always did what he said, so he immediately called his wife, Hong Shi, and said, "Send a maid to Zhen's house and ask Fourth Miss Zhen Rong to come over."

Hong Shi is a woman with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament. She heard it and said: "What does your husband want her to do?"

Yuan Shang waved his hand impatiently: "Let you do it, don't talk nonsense!"

Hong shi lowered her head a little, and said softly: "My husband, don't be angry, I will do it right now."

Seeing him going out, Yuan Shang felt a little irritable. The Hong family's appearance also belonged to the middle class, and his family had helped him a lot, but it was indeed worse than the Zhen family.

Yuan Shang once thought that he could marry Zhen Mi!

However, Yuan Xi ran to Beixincheng that day, and the Hong family matched Yuan Shang.

Now Zhen Mi is matched with Yuan Xi, which makes Yuan Shang extremely uncomfortable, as if his beloved toy was snatched by Yuan Xi.

Second brother, you are not worthy!

I, Yuan Shang, am the one who is very rich and powerful!
So I must knock Yuan Xi into the dust, let him go to the north to guard the frontier, and never return to Yecheng!

Inside Zhen's mansion, Zhen Rong was talking to Zhen Mi. Seeing her sister's distraught look, she wondered, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Zhen Mi thought of all the things she saw in Yuan's house that were not right, but after all, she had no evidence and could not tell Zhen Rong in detail, so she could only say: "There is nothing, maybe the weather has changed, and I am not feeling well. .”

Before the words fell, there was a faint rumble of thunder in the sky far away.

Zhen Rong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Sister, this feeling is quite accurate, it looks like the autumn rain is about to fall."

She sighed randomly: "I don't know how your brother-in-law is doing in Youzhou. I should have brought him a few more clothes before I left."

Zhen Mi saw her, hesitated to speak, and finally said softly: "Sister, don't worry, brother-in-law will be fine."

Just as Zhen Rong was about to speak, a maid came to report: "Ma'am, Mrs. Yuan's wife, Mrs. Hong, is here to invite you to sit at the mansion. The carriage is already outside the door."

After hearing this, Zhen Rong asked in confusion, "In such a hurry?"

She said to Zhen Mi: "Yesterday I just went to see Yuan Xing, and Mrs. Hong came to invite me today, maybe there is something urgent?"

Zhen Mi's heart skipped a beat, "If sister doesn't want to, then don't go."

Zhen Rong stroked Zhen Mi's hair, and sighed; "Why don't you go, your brother-in-law is the cavalry general of the Third Young Master Yuan, I can't neglect his wife no matter what."

Seeing that Zhen Rong got up and was about to go out, Zhen Mi stood up abruptly and called out, "Sister!"

Zhen Rong turned around and asked in confusion, "Little sister, what happened today?"

Zhen Mi gritted her teeth and said, "Even if sister is going, she should be careful and protect herself."

Zhen Rong couldn't help laughing: "You think Yuan Mansion is a den of tigers and wolves?"

"I'll go first."

Zhen Mi stood by the door, staring blankly at Zhen Rong getting into the carriage, raised her head, and watched the dark clouds gradually gather in the sky.
