Chapter 76
When Yuan Xi received Yuan Shang's send-off banquet, he hesitated for a moment.

Logically speaking, there is no reason for him not to go to this banquet, after all, he and Yuan Shang are superficial brothers, and they still have to pretend to be false.

But he was about to leave in the next few days, and he wanted to have a private talk with Yuan Shao. No matter what, Youzhou's next plan still depends on what Yuan Shao thinks. Yuan Xi alone cannot do anything to Gongsun Zan with a few hundred troops. .

Zhao Yun from the north sent a letter, saying that Yuan Tan suffered a small loss at the hands of Bai Mayi, and now he is defending the city honestly, but always thinking about revenge.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi was a little annoyed, Gao Lan's matter was really a big trouble!

He really didn't expect that Yuan Shang was so insidious that he sent his future brother-in-law Gao Lan to Beixin City, and even arranged for him a spying mission.

He preferred to die, but Gao Lan recognized Qu Yi and ran away resolutely, which made Yuan Xi very embarrassed.

Gao Lan disappeared, and Yuan Tan and Xun Chen should have helped cover it up, and they didn't officially send back the news, so they are probably waiting to see how they respond.

Although he could join hands with Yuan Tan to accuse Gao Lan, but this method is very substandard, and it is a strategy that will only be used when he is forced to do nothing.

Yuan Xi's irritability was noticed by Wu Zhao, but Yuan Xi took Zhao Yun out that night, and what happened after that, since Yuan Xi didn't say anything, Wu Zhao didn't ask.

But she could vaguely guess that something that was hard to explain to the Zhen family must have happened that night.

When Zhen Rong came to visit the day before yesterday, Wu Zhao learned that it was Mrs. Gao Lan. She noticed that Yuan Xi's body was stiff at that moment, and she secretly screamed that something was wrong.

Moreover, Wu Zhao keenly noticed that Zhen Rong's maid opposite had been paying attention to Yuan Xi's expression, and at the same time, her face changed.

Spotted?
Wu Zhao had a headache, and he was just guessing, relying on some keen intuition, without any evidence.

But she always felt that the banquet tonight seemed unusual.

Yuan Xi finally decided to go to the banquet, because Yuan Shang's wife, Mrs. Hong, invited her in person.

Seeing Mrs. Hong kneeling on the ground, Yuan Xi bowed his head slightly to him in salute, with a big piece of jade color showing through his collar, and said hastily: "Your brother and sister don't need to do this, third brother just find a servant to let me know, why bother to do it yourself?" come over."

Only then did Hong breathe a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Thank you brother for complete success."

Wu Zhao behind Yuan Xi could see that the Hong family seemed to be afraid of Yuan Shang.

Just as Hong stood up straight, there was a muffled thunder outside, Hong was so frightened that his face turned pale, like a frightened rabbit, he curled up.

Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure, she blushed and bowed to Yuan Xi, and left in a hurry.

Before Yuan Xi could speak, Wu Zhao suddenly said, "She is very afraid of you."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked in confusion, "Didn't she be frightened by Lei just now?"

Wu Zhao shook his head and said, "Her gaze never met yours."

Yuan Xi was taken aback, is there a problem with the banquet?
But in this Yuan Mansion, what kind of moths can Yuan Shang come up with, it is impossible to ambush the swordsmen, right?
He thought for a while and said, "I have to go to the banquet, otherwise it will appear that I have a ghost in my heart, especially after meeting Zhen Rong yesterday."

"My third brother is not simple. Everything is a layout. For example, I can only take one step at a time."

"When the time comes, please help me watch it. If there is any abnormality, please remind me in time."

Yuan Xi knew that Wu Zhao should have seen a lot of social gatherings among nobles before, and if she was there, he would be more or less insured against Yuan Shang.

He looked up at the sky, the autumn rain was still falling, and he thought it best to start tomorrow. No one knows how far Cao Cao has made in attacking Xuzhou. If he can arrive one day earlier and bring back Cao Song's family, maybe he will Many people died less.

There was another thunder, and outside Xiapi City in Xuzhou, Liu Guanzhang rushed to Taishan County with hundreds of troops and horses, braving the drizzle.

Guan Yu rode on his horse and said to Liu Bei, "Brother, the ones I worry about are Taozhou Mu's generals. Almost all of them are yellow turban generals, and their military discipline is corrupt. It's hard to say what will happen."

"And now marching in the rain, the soldiers are exhausted, I'm afraid they won't have much combat power when they reach Yinping."

Yinping was the place where Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai to welcome Cao Song's family, and now the three rushed there to stop what was said in the silk script.

Liu Bei sighed: "Second brother, I also know, but if you take a step too slowly now, it may be too late, and many more people will die in Xuzhou."

Guan Yu listened, nodded and remained silent.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "It's just a little more running. If these soldiers are lazy, I will whip them with a whip, and I will whip them to run!"

"I'm just afraid that Cao Jun has a large army in Yinping, and we are small in number, so it is difficult to fight against."

Liu Bei was riding a horse, also muttering in his heart, because the place in Taishan County was a personal grievance between Tao Qian and Cao Cao.

Although Taishan County belonged to Yanzhou, it was first occupied by Tao Qian under the guise of name.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), Tao Qian sent Zhao Yu to pay tribute to Emperor Xian to show his support for the Han Dynasty. After receiving Tao Qian's memorial, Emperor Xian appreciated Tao Qian and promoted him to Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong.

In the same year, Que Xuan from Xiapi gathered thousands of people and claimed to be the Son of Heaven. Tao Qian and Que Xuan jointly raised troops and led the army to attack Rencheng and Taishan counties in the south of Yanzhou.

Later, Tao Qian killed Que Xuan, annexed Que Xuan's tribe, and occupied Rencheng County and Taishan County.

At that time, with the support of the Yanzhou gentry, Cao Cao had just taken control of Yanzhou Mu, so he was naturally very angry at the fact that these two counties were occupied by Tao Qian.

So Cao Cao led troops to attack Xuzhou, and went down to more than ten cities, so that the corpses blocked the Sishui River and cut off the flow. Tao Qian retreated back to Tancheng. Later, Cao Cao's army was short of food and retreated.

This is what Tao Qian regretted to Liu Bei on the sick bed. It is a bad debt and an unsolved case.

Theoretically speaking, it was Tao Qian who did it first. Que Xuan was Tao Qian's instigation to attack Rencheng and Taishan County. Afterwards, Tao Qian crossed the river and demolished the bridge and killed him. It is true that Tao Qian made the wedding dress.

But Cao Cao, the Yanzhou pastor, was self-appointed and was not appointed by the court at all.

Tao Qian's official position was formally granted by the imperial court, so it was justifiable to send troops to suppress the rebellion in Yanzhou, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to fight back so fiercely.

This was the first time Tao Qian tried to get out of Xuzhou in his life, but he was mercilessly beaten back by Cao Cao and gave Cao Cao an excuse to send troops. Now he has to continue to bear the consequences.

In this troubled world, whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.

Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and it is rich in commercial agriculture and has a large population. It can be said that from Yuan Shao to Cao Cao, and then to Yuan Shu, there is no one who does not covet his heart.

In Liu Bei's heart, he was actually not very hopeful about this trip, but after all, if he could give Cao Cao a moral excuse, he really had no other choice.

With a shout, he urged the horses under his crotch to disappear into the night with Guan Zhang and several hundred army horses.

Yecheng.

With a smile on his face, Yuan Shang took Yuan Xi's arm and pulled him into the house, and said with a smile: "Second brother is going to leave tomorrow, I wish the second brother all success."

Yuan Xiqian said: "Third brother is really polite. Thanks to you, father has taken good care of everything these years. Second brother, I feel ashamed."

In fact, Yuan Xi has not thought of an effective way to deal with Yuan Shang until now.

Yuan Shang is the most favored by Yuan Shao. This is Zhang's amulet, and his biological mother, Liu Shi, is also the nominal mother of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. With the amulet of filial piety, he is invincible.

So Yuan Shang was able to boldly trip Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi without touching Yuan Shao's bottom line, Yuan Xi was quite aggrieved thinking about it.

Yuan Xi thought to himself that maybe on the day when Yuan Shao was no longer his father, he would be able to act without any scruples.

Yuan Xi walked into the room, took a look, and found that among the few people, Zhen Rong was there, and suddenly felt a little strange.
