Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 98
Yuan Xi felt that Gao Lan was actually very pitiful.

In Yuan Shao's view, the important matter that he regarded as confidential was actually not a matter at all.

What Yuan Shao really disliked was that Qu Yi's dead men who ascended the ranks first, had now been collected and dispersed by various ministries, and lost their threat.

As for Qu Yi, who has half his life left and is a widow, in Yuan Shao's view, he is nothing more than a bereaved dog.

Yuan Xi has been in Beixin City for three years, how could Yuan Shao ignore it and not even let a spy in?
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao, the father and son, are really awkward. They clearly know what the other is doing, but they pretend not to know.

Yuan Xi found that his behavior was like the anger he had with his father when he was working in the previous life, and it remained unchanged after rebirth.

Is it because I am still immature, or is the delicate relationship between father and son that has not changed for thousands of years?

Seeing that Yuan Xi didn't answer, Yuan Shao softened his tone when he thought about the events of the past few days, "I know your difficulties, but we are a family after all."

"That's it."

Yuan Xi understood, so he had no choice but to lean over and say, "I respect my father's order."

Since Yuan Shao said so, then he and Yuan Shangming can only stop here.

Yuan Xi said, "Then about my marriage?"

Yuan Shao hesitated, "I'll think about it again."

Yes, Yuan Xi is sure, Mrs. Liu often whispers in Yuan Shao's ear.

Lies come true a thousand times, who would keep Yuan Shao close.

This was also the reason why Yuan Tan was indignant. No matter how well he did outside, he couldn't resist the words that finally reached Yuan Shao's ears. They were all processed by Mrs. Liu and Yuan Shang, and only five or six points of credit were given.

The same is true of Yuan Xi's marriage, Yuan Shao is much more hesitant about this kind of family matter than making decisions on the battlefield.

Yuan Xi knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be even more troublesome in the future, so he could only say: "The matter of the four daughters of the Zhen family is due to bewitching, if they are punished because of this, I'm afraid it will cause people to criticize."

"Besides, the incident happened in the Yuan family, and everyone present, are they innocent?"

"My son is willing to marry the daughter of Zhen's family, so as to eliminate gossip and gossip at the beginning."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly after hearing this, "Xianyi has a heart, I'll talk to your mother when I go back."

Yuan Xi secretly sighed in his heart, with Mrs. Liu involved, this matter would not go well, but it happened that she was married and hired, and she couldn't be avoided.

He could only respond, "No."

A look of relief flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, "You have indeed grown up a lot in the past few years, and these few plannings have also proved your ability."

"The next big trend in the world, have you ever asked that stranger?"

Yuan Xi's heart came, this is the highlight.

"The direction of the next few years has been mentioned by that stranger."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao stared into Yuan Xi's eyes, "Including what happened in Yanzhou?"

Yuan Xi was startled: "An incident occurred in Yanzhou?"

This locust plague has only happened for a few days, and Zhang Miao and Lu Bu started it?

Is it because I pretended to be a hidden tiger and said that there would be a plague of locusts in a month, so that they believed in my words, so I launched it decisively?

Think about it, Cao Cao's army is all in Xuzhou, so the timing is right.

If we had to wait a few more days, and then mobilize when Cao Cao's army was short of supplies, then Cao Cao would be in a dilemma, and his chances of winning would be greater.

But the good thing is that Xuzhou can save a lot of people from dying.

Yuan Shao said: "You really know."

"That stranger is not simple, you think of a way, I want to see him."

Yuan Xi thought to himself, should I stick a beard in front of you?
It's strange not to recognize it.

He then said: "That alien dragon can't see the end, I also met it by chance, if there is another chance, I will definitely bring him to see Father."

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "The rebellion in Yanzhou happened yesterday. Chenliu County, which is adjacent to Wei County, rebelled in the whole county."

"Puyang City in Chenliu Commandery is only two hundred miles away from Ye City. It is said that Lu Bu is in the city."

"Jizhou has sent troops to take precautions, but Lv Bu is an enemy and not a friend. The situation is unknown. Qingzhou's offensive may have to be delayed."

Yuan Xi heard this and said, "Lu Bu will definitely not attack Jizhou. Cao Cao will definitely return to attack him immediately. Neither side will win the other in a short time."

"I think we can take advantage of the situation on both sides to reap the benefits."

Yuan Shao was surprised when he heard this, "Advisors are mostly divided into two factions, one group supports Cao Cao, and some people want to support Lu Bu. Your idea of ​​using both parties is similar to Tian Feng alone."

"tell me the story."

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "My son is making a fool of himself."

"Now Jizhou is not flat in the north, and there are many enemies in the south, but the one my Yuan family will defeat in the end is Yuan Gonglu."

Yuan Shao listened, nodded and said: "Not bad."

Yuan Xi said: "Right now, the Heishan and Baibo thieves in Bingzhou are difficult to eradicate. We can only fight north or south, but Gongsun Zan in the north and Yuan Shu in the south are not opponents that can be defeated in a short time."

"Jizhou is not strong enough to divide the army, but if you want to choose, it is easier to fight Qingzhou Youzhou in the north than in the south."

"Yuan Shu occupies Yangzhou in Yuzhou in the south. According to the danger of the Yangtze River, it must be done immediately."

"But if it grows up, it will become a chronic disease, so we need to take care of it."

"The best situation is that Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all used by my Yuan family to attack Yuan Shu together."

Yuan Shao heard this, shook his head and said, "How is this possible? The three parties regard each other as enemies. Liu Bei, Lu Bu and the Yuan family have always had hatred. Your thinking is still too naive."

Yuan Xidao: "Usually it is not possible, but now is the best opportunity."

Yuan Shao heard this and said, "Go ahead."

Yuan Xidao: "In normal times, Lv Bu and Cao Cao are unwilling to submit to others, but now that Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou, Lv Bu took the opportunity to rebel, but the situation has become delicate."

"Tao Qian and Liu Bei are in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao is facing enemies on both sides, but Cao Cao has a complete set of advisers and generals, and Tao Qian and Lu Bu cannot compete at all."

Yuan Shao said, "You still think Cao Cao is dangerous?"

"It has always been," Yuan Xi said, "Cao Mengde is much more dangerous than Yuan Gonglu."

Yuan Shao hesitated after hearing this, and said: "There is no proof, no evidence, if he lives up to me, I can't break the promise first."

Seeing that Yuan Shao was thinking about his old love, Yuan Xi couldn't be cruel, and he thought that when Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to make the princes, you found that the people loyal to the Han Dynasty were far beyond imagination, and it would be too late to deal with Cao Cao.

He had no choice but to say: "Although it is so, this is a good opportunity. If you miss it, it will be difficult to find it again."

"In Xuzhou, although Tao Qian and Yuan Shu are called an alliance, they have actually broken up. Liu Bei, who is under him, has even separated from Gongsun Zan."

"It is said that Tao Qian died of a serious illness soon, and Liu Bei will definitely win Xuzhou, forming a lineage of his own, and will not be manipulated by Yuan Shu."

"Liu Bei, as long as he shows kindness to him, he is likely to become an ally. After all, Xuzhou is sandwiched between my Yuan family and Yuan Shu, who calls himself Uncle Xuzhou, and he doesn't want to make enemies on both sides."

Yuan Shao listened, nodded slightly,

Yuan Xi said again: "Yanzhou is Cao Cao's stronghold, he will definitely not give up, so he can only retreat from Xuzhou and attack Lu Bu."

"Lu Bu and Cao Cao are not easy people, and the two sides may fight for a long time."

"When the two sides are exhausted and lack food, Father can send someone to mediate and take the opportunity to propose conditions for both sides to attack south."

Yuan Shao said: "Can the two sides fight for a long time?"

"I don't believe they have so much food."

Yuan Xi said: "If you are in a hurry, you will eat people."

Yuan Shao listened, nodded and remained silent.

Yuan Xi took the opportunity and said: "At that time, Jizhou can use food soldiers and let Cao Cao Lu Bu be used by my Yuan family temporarily."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Earlier, I mentioned that Cao Mengde would move his family to Yecheng. He understood my intention and was determined not to."

"You don't need all of them," Yuan Xi said decisively: "Half of the family is enough, and the eldest son Cao Ang doesn't have to come."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Cao Ang is his eldest son, and all the others can't match him."

"Cao Ang is short-lived," Yuan Xi said.

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Really?"

"really."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao finally felt a little more relaxed, "You have changed, Xianyi."

"well done."

Yuan Xi respectfully said: "It's all because of my father's concern."

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "I'll think about it again, you go."

He paused, "Qu Yi is not allowed to step into Jizhou again."

Yuan Xi bowed again, walked out the door backwards, and closed the door gently.

Yuan Shao stared at the door, thinking that Yuan Xi's words had begun to come true one by one.

The name and character I chose for Yuan Xi at that time were all accidental, but now it seems that he is the man of destiny in the prophecy?
But he is the last person to inherit the Yuan family, if that's the case
When Yuan Xi returned to the house, Wu Zhao rushed out to greet him, changed him into a new robe, and brought him some tea.

Yuan Xi took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Yuan Xi's exhausted face, Wu Zhao said, "Young Master, it's hard work. You've lost a lot of weight by dealing with the residence papers day and night these days."

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and put his arms around Wu Zhao's waist, "I have learned a lot."

"The more you understand these things, the more you can benefit the people. Fortunately, this time Jizhou has plenty of grain reserves, and the impact of the locust plague is not that big, but it's hard to say in other places."

Wu Zhao said softly, "In Ye City, there is no gentry who is willing to take refuge with the young master? You can't be busy with the young master alone."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?"

"Serving tea and pouring water, let the maidservants do these things, why do you need to do it yourself?"

"You could be a female wife, but you have to write and sort out books silently at night, and then do these things, it's really tiring."

Wu Zhao said in a low voice: "Since the third son did something like that last time, I don't feel at ease with the maids in the mansion, so I might as well do it myself."

Yuan Xi sighed: "Aren't I the same? It's too difficult to find someone you can trust. Our affairs, if they come out, are life-threatening."

Wu Zhao felt sweet when he heard the word "we".

The rest of my life has already been bound together by the young master.

The dark clouds gradually gathered outside, and the sky gradually darkened. Wu Zhao went to light the oil lamp, and saw that there were already patters of raindrops falling outside, and sighed: "There is really a lot of rain this autumn."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Fortunately, the grain harvest is almost done."

"However, the people of Xuzhou are miserable. They suffered from the plague of soldiers and locusts. I don't know how many people can sleep peacefully on this rainy night."

Wu Zhao leaned in Yuan Xi's arms, recalling the scene of the disaster in Luoyang, and made a soft sound.

"The outline of the city is a mountain forest, and the courtyard is full of thorns and moxa.

I don't know who the bones are, and don't cover the vertical and horizontal.

There is no sound when we go out, and the jackal is barking.

Standing alone against the lonely scene, smacking the liver and lungs..."
