Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 966 Non-stop
When Yuan Xi and Mrs. Lu Lingqi Du said goodbye, they felt a little sad when they saw the two women waving goodbye to him.

He found that his territory was getting bigger and bigger, but for some reason, he felt more and more lonely.

When he came, he brought almost all the generals he could mobilize, but after he returned, he and Zhang He were still there.

But compared to the soldiers, the generals were relatively good. Although a few generals were killed or injured, many Youzhou soldiers were buried forever on the grasslands of Bingzhou.

Yuan Xi was not a sentimental person, but seeing the fresh and familiar faces around him disappear forever, he still had some complicated emotions in his heart.

But now he can't stop, because his opponents have become stronger in more than a year, so he can only race against time.

However, considering that the Youzhou Army fought too frequently, he planned to let most of the Youzhou soldiers rest for a while and only take a small number of elites to go south. After all, this time he went to the Jianghuai area to focus on water warfare. The main force used this time was the Jianghuai and It is also time for the Xuzhou Navy to test the training effectiveness of Taishi Ci and Chen Deng.

When the team returned, they had walked for a full month. By the time Yuan Xi led the army back to Jicheng, it was already summer.

When he entered the city, the streets were being renovated again. Jicheng seemed to be expanding forever, and a large circle of resettled refugees was opened outside. This was because the fighting in Jizhou had not stopped for more than a year, causing Jizhou to People kept fleeing to Youzhou.

Although Cao Cao put his main force in Jingzhou, Xiahou Dun, who was guarding Yecheng, took the initiative and kept trying to conquer Yuan Xi's territory.

Although Xiahou Dun was not good at fighting, he was very good at logistics and internal affairs. During his time guarding Yecheng, he not only stabilized the situation, bribed some Jizhou nobles, and recruited many generals from Jizhou, so Xiahou Dun relied on Qinghe, Wei Commandery. He launched several attacks on Anping County, but in the end they were all blocked by Zhuge Liang's troops and generals.

But it was not easy for Zhuge Liang to win. Both sides were soldiers from Jizhou, and they knew each other well. They did not have an overwhelming combat advantage like the Youzhou soldiers led by Yuan Xi, especially the trapped camp, so Zhuge Liang fought very hard for a time.

But this played an excellent role in promoting Zhuge Liang's growth. Zhuge Liang made rapid progress in this adversity, especially after Yuan Xi learned about it during the period and transferred Tian Feng to help.

While working with Tian Feng, Zhuge Liang gradually integrated what he had learned and became more sophisticated in dispatching troops and formations, which surprised Tian Feng. Later, Zhuge Liang was completely familiar with Xiahou Dun's ideas, and he became more and more comfortable in commanding and responding.

Especially in the latest battle, Zhuge Liang completely calculated Xiahou Dun's advance route. As a result, Xiahou Dun's troops were cut off by Zhuge Liang's Chun Yuqiong before they even deployed. After a flanking attack from both sides, Xiahou Dun suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.

When Yuan Xi was fighting in Bingzhou, he also paid great attention to Jizhou. After all, this was a key frontline area. After Zhuge Liang was anxious about the war at the beginning, Yuan Xi was still a little worried, but after that Zhuge Liang fought better and better, which made Yuan very happy and completely Relax.

Although Zhuge Liang was still young and immature two years ago, now he can be said to be fully responsible. Yuan Xi feels that Zhuge Liang will definitely be able to play a big role this time when Jianghuai mobilizes troops!

He led his troops into the city, and when he returned to the mansion, Zhen Mi and the girls came out to greet him. They knew that Yuan Xi was leaving soon, so they all covered their sad faces and rushed over to say hello to Yuan Xi.

After Yuan Xixian and Zhen Mi returned to the house, they saw that Yuan Rui had grown a lot taller. He spoke and acted in an elegant and well-behaved way. He couldn't help but pick him up and said with a smile: "My wife taught me well. He is much better than me back then." ”

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "I will be satisfied if I can catch up with my husband a little bit in the future."

"Husband, please also go and see Yuan Qian. In the past year, the two wives of Marquis Cai have been very attentive to his education, and the child has made rapid progress."

Yuan Xi remembered that he had not seen Cai Zhaoji before and asked, "What happened to Zhaoji today?"

Zhen Mi replied: "She is teaching at Zaiyi School today with the wife of Zhuge Military Advisor."

Yuan Xi then remembered Huang Yueying being punished by himself and said with a smile: "She is quite honest. I thought she wouldn't be able to persist."

Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Mrs. Huang is very serious about her work. Except for taking the holidays during the Chinese New Year and going to Qingzhou to visit Zhuge Military Advisor, she works conscientiously in the volunteer school during the rest of the time."

"My husband is also very cruel, preventing my husband and wife from being reunited for such a long time."

Yuan Xi scratched his head, "Okay, I was a little careless about this matter, but Jicheng is at least safe, and she may have to wait for a while, because I am going to take Zhuge Military Advisor to attack Jianghuai."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi hid a hint of worry between her brows. Yuan Xi had fought too frequently in the past few years, but she could only tell Yuan Xi to take care of himself. She also heard that Lu Lingqi would not come back from Wuyuan. , couldn't help but said: "The environment in that place is far inferior to that of Jicheng. I don't know how she can stay here."

"I'm afraid it's not her tinnitus."

Yuan Xi sighed: "She has a strong personality, let her be."

"I heard that Mrs. Mi returned to Xuzhou years ago?"

Zhen Mi nodded and said: "She said that she was planning to open a route for the Mi family's caravan, so you can rest assured that you have to go there in person."

Then she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My husband's female family members are sometimes more like vassals."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that these words hit the nail on the head and had to say: "Doesn't this further prove that women can also be independent?"

"This is actually good. Women have a side that needs to rely on men, but also a side that can be independent and self-reliant. Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste of the talents given by God."

He asked a few more questions casually before leaving the room. He did not go directly to Yuan Qian's room, but took a detour and went to Kong's room first.

Mrs. Kong was thinking that Yuan Xi would not come back to see her for a while, so she was brewing medicine in her room. When she heard that Yuan Xi was coming, she rushed out with surprise and joy, and said shyly: "My room is filled with the smell of medicine. I'm really ashamed. If your husband doesn’t like it, you can go to another lady.”

Yuan Xi held her hand and said, "I'm fine with such a strong smell on the battlefield, so why should I be afraid of the smell of medicine?"

The two sat on the couch. Yuan Xi held Kong in his arms. He felt that Kong's body was very light. He couldn't help but feel pity for her more and more, and asked, "Have you been taking this medicine?"

"Is your cough feeling better?"

Mrs. Kong replied: "I have always lived in Mr. Yuanhua's house. I find it very useful. Except when the weather is very cold, I hardly cough anymore." After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "If you feel that you can't get used to living there, , you can go to Shouchun.”

"The climate over there is much warmer, which may help your condition."

Kong thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'd better stay in Jicheng."

"When I was in Xuzhou, the climate was warmer than in Youzhou, but my condition was not getting better. Mr. Yuanhua said that if it wasn't tuberculosis, colder weather might not be a bad thing, and it might be able to suppress the deterioration of the condition."

"Secondly, as a concubine, according to etiquette, she must stay with the main wife. If the concubine also goes, it will not be good for Mrs. Zhen."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "It's hard to believe that you are interested. It's good to be in Jicheng, at least you have someone to take care of you."

"I don't know how to arrange those people over in Shouchun."

Mrs. Kong had naturally heard about the affairs of Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Feng, and said with a chuckle: "My husband has quite a few golden houses."

"That's all, Mrs. Mi. I heard that the husbands of Shouchun and others have also been waiting for several years, right?"

Yuan Xi was surprised, "Indeed, there were so many people there before I knew it, and I feel quite sorry for them."

"But so do you. I made you wander for several years because of my dignity. I'm really sorry."

Kong nestled in Yuan Xi's arms, her face filled with happiness, "No, I am very satisfied now."

"Even if I die tomorrow, I will have no regrets in this life."

Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat. "Don't say that. I'll try my best to find a way."

He stood up and said: "We fought too many battles before, but I forgot that today's medical skills can go one step further."

"Just wait, within a few years, I will let the world's medical skills open a new window."

Mrs. Kong stood up and sent her out, curiously saying, "I can't think of what my husband should do."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Of course we start with glass."

Kong didn't seem to understand, but she had heard of glass. It existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but how could it be compared with medical skills?
When Cai Zhaoji came back, she found that in her room, Yuan Xizheng was talking to Mrs. Hou while watching Yuan Qian write.

Yuan Xi smiled at Cai Zhaoji and said: "Calligraphy is different for everyone's direct disciples. At Qian'er's young age, there is a style and style in the handwriting."

Cai Zhaoji replied: "This child has a very good understanding and will become a great person in the future."

As she spoke, there was a hint of disappointment on her face that was not easy to detect, but Yuan Xi saw it, and he said to Mrs. Hou: "You take Qian'er to play with you first, and I will talk to Zhaoji." matter."

When Mrs. Hou went out, Yuan Xi sent the maid out, but stood up and closed the door. When Cai Zhaoji saw it, she blushed and whispered: "It's still daytime."

Yuan Xi sighed: "Among the women, we are the first to know each other. I can roughly guess what you are thinking."

"I've been fighting outside for the past few years, and I really can't help you."

Cai Zhaoji's eyes turned red. Yuan Xi had indeed hit her mark. In the past few years, she had watched Yuan Rui and Yuan Qian grow up day by day in the house. She was the first to know Yuan Xi, but she didn't have any children of her own yet. She thought about her age. The boss is no longer young, so it is impossible not to feel disappointed.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi knew that he had guessed correctly, so he hugged Cai Zhaoji and whispered to her: "It's not too late now."

Cao Zhaoji twisted a few times and whispered: "Husband, are you not afraid of Cao Xian eavesdropping?"

Yuan Xi smiled: "When you say that, it seems to be more exciting."

Cai Zhaoji's body trembled and her face turned redder.

After an unknown amount of time, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped in the house. Cai Zhaoji lay in Yuan Xi's arms and whispered: "My husband must take care of himself when he is out there. What I hope most is that my husband is safe."

Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, the day when the world will be pacified is not far away."

"But I remembered another thing. Please help me pay attention to it in the free school these days."

"Help me see if there are any craftsmen who can burn paper glass."

After hearing this, Cai Zhaoji started thinking, "Glass?"

"I have heard that someone made it in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was not very practical and was later replaced by porcelain."

"Husband, why did you suddenly think of this?"
