Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 924 Make some attempts
Zhidao Luoluo confessed his name in embarrassment. Yuan Xi once again confirmed that he was indeed Bu Dugen's subordinate, and said with a smile: "The leader has fought like this. How will he explain to Bu Dugen when he returns?"

Zhidao Luoluo was originally speechless, but then he heard another meaning in his words. He raised his head in surprise and looked at Yuan Xi in disbelief.

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Although we Han people also have those who are guilty of sweating, they will be punished even if they are far away, but we will also give a chance to those we meet for the first time."

"Since I dare to let you go, I won't worry about you bringing people back for revenge."

"Of course, that's assuming you can defeat my generals."

Zhitao Luoluo was speechless. He randomly pulled out a general and beat him up. He was indeed not talking nonsense. He said in a solemn voice: "Do you want me to give you a message?"

Yuan Xi was very satisfied with his attitude, "You are smart. Yes, I want to have a good talk with Bu Dugen, so you bring a letter to him for me."

"I have some understanding of the current situation in Western Xianbei. If he wants to unify Xianbei, my suspicions will be settled. As long as he stays outside the Great Wall with peace of mind, I will not interfere with him."

"But if he wants to enter the fortress and rob, he can't. I will make him understand that this is a loss-making business."

Zhi Danluo Luo said in a seductive voice: "Life outside the Great Wall is very difficult. In bad times, we can't survive without grabbing..."

Yuan Xi said decisively: "Joining us is not the kind of temporary attachment and submission, but the kind of complete submission."

Zhidao Luoluo said in a seductive voice: "No one can tell clearly. The tribal elders also have different opinions. They only said that it was Donghu, but before..."

Zhidao Luoluo said subconsciously: "What can we do?"

"If he doesn't want to, I won't force him, but he must understand that we Han people can speak Chinese, and we can also speak Xianbei with you. If you want to violate the border, you need to be able to withstand the anger of the Han people."

Luo Luo was silent.

Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help it anymore, "Have you ever thought of any other way besides robbery?"

"And what you think is, in the end, is what it is, and so is Han Hu."

Yuan Xi said: "Do you know why?"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but shouted: "That's nonsense. You said that the Xianbei ancestors originated from the Greater Xianbei Mountains, but how about going back further?"

"Your origin may be the Donghu people who have appeared since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, or you may be the Dongyi people, or you may even be the Han people, but no one can tell the truth."

Zhitan Luoluo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Isn't that just turning into a Han?"

"You have to understand that sometimes there are things that no one can prove. In the final analysis, it all comes down to whose voice and fists are bigger."

"I can guarantee that my ability to retaliate with tit-for-tat will definitely be even better than during the Wei Huo period."

"Because you have even lost your own inherited history, and you now are actually very different from your ancestors."

Yuan Xi sneered: "We didn't rob you in the fortress, so didn't you survive?"

"This is your choice, so naturally you are willing to be killed. If you don't accept it, bring troops over at any time. I'll be waiting for you!"

Yuan Xi spread his hands, "So I'm going to give Xiang Bu Dugen a suggestion."

"A few years ago, I fought against the invading Kirbineng tribe in Youzhou. You should have heard about the construction of Jingguan."

Zhidao Luoluo didn't dare to speak. When Yuan Xi saw this, he said: "There are not many ways, but you may not be able to accept it."

"If our Xianbei ancestors had knowledge underground, I don't know how they would punish us unfilial descendants..."

Zhitan Luoluo argued: "The land in the pass is fertile, so it is naturally easy to survive..."

Zhidao Luoluo couldn't help but feel shocked, because when Yuan Xi said this, his tone was unusually calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing.

This was not an act, but he had suffered too many lives under his command, so he could say it in an understatement. This made Zhidan Luoluo realize that the young man in his twenties in front of him was indeed the one who had become famous in the north in the past few years. , the killing star that no one dares to provoke!
Judging from Yuan Xi's attitude, if his tribe angers him, the other party will really cause a bloody storm!

Seeing that the purpose of frightening the other party had been achieved, Yuan Xi changed his tone and said, "Of course, if you live an honest life after entering the customs, I will regard you as allies and am willing to fight with you against foreign enemies. Then all means will be used against the enemy." On you, not you.”

After hearing this, Zhidao Luoluo looked complicated and said, "This matter is difficult for me to resolve alone. I am willing to send a message to you for your envoy."

Yuan Xi asked someone to send a letter and handed it into the hands of Zhidan Luoluo, "Well, after you meet Bu Dugen, explain my attitude carefully, whether it is peace or war, it's up to you. I'll be waiting for you." ”

After letting Zhi Danluo Luo and his few remnants be sent away, Zhang Liao said: "My lord is still too kind to them. You can't trust foreigners at all." "We have strong soldiers and horses now, why not wipe them all out?" ?”

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I know what Wen Yuan means. It is easy to kill enemies, but it is difficult to turn enemies into friends."

"But the Waihu have been in the northern part of the Great Wall for thousands of years, and they have their own way of survival. It is not so easy to completely eliminate them."

“What if we can’t eliminate it completely and the two sides accumulate hatred and start a war that lasts for hundreds or thousands of years?”

"Have Wen Yuan ever thought that if we cannot solve these problems a hundred years from now, we will have to throw these troubles to our descendants? We can defeat Waihu now, but if our descendants are less capable and a top-notch figure appears on the opposite side what to do?"

"How many people like Wei Huo were there throughout the Han Dynasty?"

When Zhang Liao realized something, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It gives me a headache just thinking about it, right?"

"If the general has an heir, he actually doesn't want him to fight on the battlefield all his life, right?"

"Now we are fighting desperately, isn't it just to let our descendants live a peaceful life in the prosperous age?"

Zhang Liao cupped his hands and said: "Liao understands. My lord is really far-sighted, and Liao really admires me."

Yuan Xi smiled and said to Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others: "This is also the reason why I brought you to the frontier fortress. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you think about how to take the next step."

"I hope that hidden dangers and stubborn diseases can be solved as much as possible in our lifetime, instead of leaving these problems to future generations. Future generations will have their own problems to face. You don't want them to resent us for laying a hole for them, right? "

Everyone laughed and cupped their hands and said, "I am willing to follow my lord to the death!"

Yuan Xi sent off the generals and sighed in his heart. He had spent so much effort just to fight for a path of integration. He hoped that he could temporarily give up the benefits of fighting for the Central Plains and win more long-term benefits for China a hundred years later. Bar.

In the following days, because Yuan Xi defeated the Xianbei cavalry who went south to plunder, he also gained the favor of the Xiongnu tribe in the south of Bingzhou, so the expansion speed was much faster. Finally, in midsummer, Yuan Xi's army completely captured the five The original county occupied Jiuyuan, the administrative center.

This was Lu Bu's hometown, and Lu Lingqi was naturally very happy about it. She took Yuan Xi to Lu's village during her free time.

At that time, most of the Lu family had already moved away, leaving only a few distant relatives, and the village had fallen into decline. Yuan Xiqi was also very sad after seeing it, but Lu Lingqi was full of confidence and said: "As long as the place remains, the Lu family will be here." It will not be cut off. When I leave the children here to raise them, the tribesmen who have left will naturally come back. "

Yuan Xi was startled, "It will take decades to rebuild here. You raised the child by yourself?"

"Let's just stay here for a year and a half and win a claim. It won't be too late for him to come back after he graduates from Jicheng as a volunteer student."

Lu Lingqi also felt that her idea was a bit unrealistic, so she smacked her lips regretfully and said, "My husband is right, but we are all in Youzhou. If we let the soldiers guard the border, will they be dissatisfied?"

Yuan Xi spoke up: "I know what you are thinking. There has been no complete solution to the border issue for thousands of years, so we can only proceed step by step."

"I have a preliminary idea, but it is not fully formed yet, but I will have to work hard on the children in the future."

Lu Lingqi asked curiously: "What do you think?"

Yuan Xi was born and said: "Take turns to guard the border. If you don't guard the border and have no merit, you will not be crowned king."

"If this is the case, some people will naturally stand up. If others want to live their lives, they can just be idle princes with no land and only a meager salary for the rest of their lives."

His idea was inspired by the practices of the Zhao family's children in the Song Dynasty. Although the military affairs of the Song Dynasty were very unbearable, the restrictions on royal heirs were very strict, and a rather complicated and long promotion mechanism was formulated. Many royal children spent their entire lives , they are limited to ordinary official positions, most of them are governors and governors, and there are very few county and dukedoms, let alone idle princes.

Although this approach also has shortcomings, it is still much better for the Ming Dynasty's unchecked group of princes who eventually swelled into a dynasty's cancer.

In the days that followed, Yuan Xi led people to build a city in Jiuyuan. As autumn approached, Bu Dugen finally secretly sent envoys to negotiate. At the same time, news of the war in Jingzhou also reached Bingzhou.

Before Cao Cao sent troops, he never expected that he and Liu Bei would be able to fight for so long. After fighting for nearly three months, Liu Bei was finally forced to abandon Xinye because of lack of food in Xinye and retreated to the Fancheng area.

This means that Nanyang has almost fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, thus opening the door to Yizhou. There is news that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong is ready to surrender to Cao Cao because he had a falling out with Liu Zhang.

Based on the knowledge of later generations, Yuan Xi knew that this news was by no means groundless. Because later generations Zhang Lu and Cao Cao had a close relationship, such a choice was expected.

But if Cao Cao wins Yizhou now, it will be more difficult to deal with him. The key is that his basic base is in the east, and he really can't take care of it.

He had a hunch that he might take Liu Bei's place in the future and compete with Cao Cao for hegemony among the three parties in Jiangdong. As for Liu Bei, it would probably be difficult to find a suitable territory in the face of the three parties that had become the general trend.

Although it is a pity that Shu Han may disappear, all he can do is to carry forward his spirit.
