Chapter 567: Family Code
"What was dad talking to the road just now?"

After Yuan Shao finished his salute, he glanced at Yuan Shu, who was treating him coldly, and asked Yuan Feng with a smile.

Faced with Yuan Shao's question, Yuan Feng said with a smile: "Benchu, do you remember Lin Mingxuan who bought the position of governor of six counties?"

"Oh?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

But he didn't expect that the person who had just talked with Cao Cao during the day would actually hear it again now.I even heard it from my father, one of the three princes in the court.

"Go back to father, I remember~" Yuan Shao replied first, and then asked curiously: "But what did Lin Mingxuan do? That it all fell into your ears?"

Yuan Feng raised his hand to stroke his beard, squinted his eyes, and said: "Ten days ago, Tao Gongzu, the governor of Youzhou, sent a letter through Feiyuwei, and Xi Zhicai, the governor of Daijun, traded with several tribes of Xianbei..."

"Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu?" Yuan Shao frowned, "I am afraid that if we trade with [Xianbei], we won't have the courage to do this. Is that what Lin Mingxuan means?"

"It should be," Yuan Feng nodded and said, "Then Lin Mingxuan somehow got in touch with Liu Bo'an, and with his support, mutual markets were established at the borders of Dai County and Shanggu County."

"Why is there another Liu Bo'an?" Yuan Shao's frown deepened, "If I remember correctly, aren't Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an serving as county officials in "Xuzhou-Donghai County"?"

"I didn't know something at first~" Yuan Feng shook his head and patiently explained for the two sons in front of him: "Tao Gongzu will be appointed as Yilang in [Luoyang] soon, and the position of governor of [Youzhou] will be vacant. Then Liu Boyan will be the official of Donghai County. He has outstanding political achievements during his tenure and is a member of the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty plans to promote him to "Youzhou" as the governor."

"So that's the case~" Yuan Shao nodded upon hearing this, with a dazed look on his face.

"But~" The brows that had just calmed down moved again, and Yuan Shao changed the topic and asked: "It's just a mutual trade between the left and right, so it shouldn't be that Tao Gongzu specially sent a letter to His Majesty from the Feiyu Guard, right? "

Yuan Feng shook his head and said: "It's just a mutual trade, naturally it won't happen~"

Yuan Shao: "Then...?"

"All because, when the mutual market established by Xi Zhicai was first established, he was surrounded by five thousand Xianbei cavalry..." Yuan Feng's lips curved up with an unknown smile, as if mocking, as if disdain: "But he was surrounded by Captain Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu led the county soldiers and the [Qinglin Traveling Merchants] escort team, totaling more than [-] people, to defeat them, [-] Xianbei cavalry were wiped out, and more than [-] horses were captured!"

"What——?!" Yuan Shao stared, with a look of surprise on his face.

Fortunately, the education he received on weekdays allowed Yuan Shao to quickly collect his thoughts. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately said quietly: "In this case, Your Majesty is probably going to award a reward, but I don't know who will be rewarded? "

Hearing Yuan Shao's confusing words, Yuan Shu on the side was immediately startled and a little confused.

Yuan Feng, on the other hand, nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief on his face.

When he saw Yuan Shu's expression, he shook his head secretly and said: "Gao Dao, I usually let you and Ben Chu learn more about the government, but you hang out among the rangers all day long..."

After a little nod to Yuan Shu, Yuan Feng began to explain to him:
"In August of the sixth year of Xiping (177), His Majesty wanted to achieve the success of opening up the territory, so he sent Xia Yu, the captain of Karasuma, from Gaoliu, "Youzhou-Daijun", and defeated the Xianbei Zhonglang general Tian Yan from "Bingzhou-Daijun". Departing from "Yunzhong County", the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Min led the southern Huns' Tuteruo Corpse Chanyu to set off from "Bingzhou-Yanmen County", each leading more than 1 cavalry, plus nearly [-] baggage teams, three The road divides the troops out of the fortress..."

"Unexpectedly, the leader of [Xianbei], Tan Shihuai, ordered the leaders of the East, Central and West tribes to lead their tribes to fight. The three tribes used the strategy of harassing and tiring the enemy to delay the cavalry, and Tan Shihuai's personal soldiers "Cang Lang" The guards rushed thousands of miles to attack the baggage team.After cutting off the food and grass, taking advantage of the unstable morale of the army, the "Cang Lang Guard" defeated the three armies one after another, and Xia Yu and others suffered a disastrous defeat! "

"In that battle, all the talismans and baggage were lost. Xia Yu and others each led dozens of cavalry and ran back with their lives. Seventy-eight tenths of the soldiers who went on the expedition died in battle, and only ten percent returned."

"With such a huge defeat, not only did You and the border troops fail to recover, but His Majesty also suffered a huge loss of face..."

Listening to Yuan Feng's narration about the past that everyone in the Han Dynasty kept silent about, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one had a calm expression, but unconsciously clenched his hands behind his back, while the other was still in a shallow state, with a face on his face. Unconsciously, he became angry.

"Huh! You're just a barbarian. When my Han family's heavenly army arrived, you didn't know how to kneel down and beg for surrender, but you dared to resist. You really don't know whether to live or die——!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Xia Yu, Tian Yan, and Zang Min are also useless... …”

"Shut up!" Yuan Feng's face darkened and he scolded, interrupting Yuan Shu's words.

"Father?" Yuan Shu was stunned by the rebuke and looked at Yuan Feng blankly.

Yuan Feng flicked his sleeves and said with a cold face: "Go and copy my Yuan family's family motto a hundred times. When you finish copying, you will be allowed to go out!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's expression changed: "Father..."

Yuan Feng looked over like lightning: "Huh?!"

"Yes~" Yuan Shu pursed his lips a few times, glanced at Yuan Shao beside him from the corner of his eyes, and responded in a low voice.

Then, without even saluting, he just turned around and left.

"Origin~"

When Yuan Shao watched Yuan Shu's leaving figure out of the corner of his eye, Yuan Feng's voice sounded again.

Yuan Shao: "Father~"

Yuan Feng: "Qiao Qiao is still young, so I need to give him more attention on weekdays. You, first of all, are the legitimate sons of my Yuan family, and then..."

Before Yuan Feng could finish speaking, Yuan Shao immediately raised his hands and said solemnly: "Father, I understand~"

"Hmm~" Regarding Yuan Shao's statement, Yuan Feng snorted noncommittally and said, "I hope so~"

With Yuan Feng's cultivation in the Soul Refining Realm, why couldn't he feel the small movement of Yuan Shao's hand behind his back just now?

However, as mentioned just now, the two sons are still young, and when they are full of enthusiasm, they cannot yet achieve the standards of belief they have today.

I think back then, when he was young, Yuan Feng, didn't he also have the intention to clear up the imperial court and leave his own glorious mark in the "History of the Han Dynasty"?

At that time, when I was studying Confucian and Taoist classics, my mind was active and my cultivation of the Soul Dao advanced by leaps and bounds. I reached the realm of soul refining when I was only thirty years old!
pity……

"Origin~"

Yuan Feng looked at Yuan Shao, looking at the face that was exactly the same as when he was young, full of vigor. After all, he did not continue the previous topic, but took out a roll of beige silk cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Shao.

Taking the silk cloth with his hands in front of him, Yuan Shao's expression had returned to its previous calm expression.

Unfortunately, this indifference did not last long.

At first glance, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed, and his expression became solemn unconsciously.

Not long after, after reading what was recorded on the silk cloth, Yuan Shao asked in a deep voice: "Father, how much do you believe in the things on this?"

After saying that, Yuan Shao couldn't help but cast his eyes on the silk cloth again.

I saw it said something like, 'In Nanhai County, Jiaozhou, rice is planted in August and harvested in the winter months, reaching Lelang County in the twelfth lunar month', 'Many pastures in Shanggu County and Dai County are not afraid of heavy snow, and there is no shortage of fodder for cattle, sheep, and horses', etc. words.

To be honest, in the current Han Dynasty, almost everyone has an indifferent attitude towards "Jiaozhou".

This point, even in bitter cold and frontier places such as "Youzhou", "Bingzhou", and even "Liangzhou", is more important than "Jiaozhou".

In the eyes of many people, going to "Jiaozhou" is almost the same as getting a job.

The climate is hot and humid, the jungle is dense, there are countless deadly poisonous miasma, and the land is difficult to cultivate, it is a truly wild place!

Therefore, under this situation, even Yuan Shao, who is the direct heir of the eight great aristocratic families in the world [Runan Yuan Family], does not have much knowledge about "Jiaozhou".

"I believe everything!"

At this time, facing Yuan Shao's inquiry, Yuan Feng's eyes flashed with light and he said seriously: "Benchu, you have to remember that as a qualified superior, no matter what incredible information is passed on to you by your subordinates, , you have to treat him as real."

"Even if there is doubt, we must ask for evidence before drawing conclusions, so that we don't miss something that is really important."

After hearing Yuan Feng's sincere teachings, Yuan Shao pondered thoughtfully.

Indeed, no matter whether the information is true or false, those who are superior must naturally treat it with caution.

Especially for families with a long heritage, they are not afraid of wasting some resources if the information is false.

But if it is true but is treated as false by them, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Yuan Feng: "Benchu, take your clan guards with you and go to Lelang County. My father wants to know how Lin Mingxuan transported rice from Hainan County to there in one month..."

　Good night~
