The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 466 Two Aces
After hearing Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shang's eyes became a little dark.

He knew that some things were not as simple as he imagined.

Before Sima Yi went to the Bohai Sea to supervise the construction of the navy's warships, he secretly instructed those in charge of the scouts to focus on tracking Yan Xing, and repeatedly stated that it was the top priority.

Although Yuan Shang himself never asked about this matter, he was the Lord of Ye City after all, so he probably knew a little bit about it.

Now that Guo Tu is temporarily taking over this part of the official duties, something happened to Yan Xing, among which he must have secretly deployed manpower to disrupt Sima Yi's arrangements.

Yuan Shang's profound eyes seemed to be able to pierce his heart with one glance. Guo Tu was flustered by his gaze, his face was pale, his teeth chattered, and the cold sweat flowed down his forehead slowly.

Guo Tu regrets it!
With such a situation in Guanzhong, although he is not in charge, he is obliged to take charge of the intelligence arrangement. For such a major event, the lord, under the wrath of Thunder, must deal with him. Not to mention his own death, he is afraid that there will be disasters and three tribes.

The Guo family is considered to have some influence in Hebei at present, but facing Yuan Shang who is now tightly grasping the power, what is the use of the big family?It's not the result of hiccupping in just one sentence.

Guo Tu really wanted to cry now. He didn't mean anything malicious, but he was a little conceited, and he was not convinced by Sima Yi's dispatch, but now he had such a result.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and after a long time in the hall, they held each other secretly.

Finally, Yuan Shang secretly sighed.

Guo Tu was at fault, but Sima Yi secretly instructed him to follow Yan Xing, and there was no Mingwen deployment. Although he never stopped him, he did not support him face to face, which means that Sima Yi's deployment did not comply with the law.

From this point of view, Guo Tu has the right to abolish it, and when there is a war in Guanzhong, Guo Tu adjusted the personnel arrangement to mainly detect foreign enemies. This is a measure that a normal person should take. There is nothing wrong with it, of course, some of his personal psychic factors may be involved in it...

Guo Tu should be punished, but he is not guilty of death, and the person who should be punished more may be himself.

It turned out that Guo Tu's arrangement was indeed wrong, and his crime should be punished, but if he did a careful calculation, wouldn't he be the one who should be punished?

Before the defeat of Cao Cao in the Battle of Guanzhong, Yan Xing saved Ma Teng and turned the tide of the battle. He made great contributions, and if he, Yuan Shang, did not reuse him, how would he appease the heart of the fallen general?In addition, Yan Xing is indeed brave, not inferior to Ma Chao, and Yuan Shang really appreciates it from the bottom of his heart...

To this day, disasters and chaos have already occurred. Could it be that these bitter fruits were not planted by my ignorance of judgment at the beginning?

But what if it is someone else?
When dealing with enemies, Yuan Shang can use any means, but when dealing with his own people, Yuan Shang's style has always been very protective.

"Guo Tu, are you guilty?" After a long silence, Yuan Shang finally spoke slowly.

Guo Tu fell to his knees with a "plop" and said, "This subordinate has neglected his duty...the subordinate has hatred! Please forgive me, my lord!"

Yuan Shang narrowed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "Tomorrow, you will relinquish all the duties in your hands, go to Tingwei's Mansion to receive forty lashes, and then go to Yecheng Masi to give orders. I will greet you in advance and let them Arrange for you to sweep the dung balls for the battle stables in Hebei... When, when you feel that you have punished yourself enough, come back to me."

Guo Tu was shocked when he heard the words, his voice trembled, his head short-circuited due to a moment of panic or excitement, and he asked a very idiotic question.

"My lord...don't you barricade my three clans?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and his face darkened.

It's cheap again!I do seem to be a little too kind to this kind of idiot.

"If you really want me to do this, it's not like Yuan can't help you... Do you have any grudges against your family? Let me take this opportunity to avenge you."

Guo Tu thought about it, and when he thought about it, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his head: "No need, no need, this subordinate will go to the stable to sweep the dung balls... Sweep the dung balls..."

"Go away!"

****************************
After Guo Tu left, Yuan Shang locked himself in the hall, calmed down, and fell into deep meditation.

Guo Tu brought back all the news from various sources, but there was no movement on Zhao Yun's side so far. When Yan Xing started an incident, the person under his command must be Zhao Yun!When he was in control of the Six Commanderies, Zhao Yun was confronting Song Jian, and the Six Commanderies were facing Zhao Yun's rear... From this point of view, Zhao Yun was probably in danger.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

Zhao Yun is his confidant and his confidant, what happened to him...

Yuan Shangchang sighed, temporarily put these personal thoughts behind him, and brought his thoughts back to Guanzhong affairs.

Once something happens to Zhao Yun, there will be chaos in Guanzhong without a leader!
Not only those who rebelled against King Song Jian, rebelled against Yan Xing, but also Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, ethnic minorities in Bazhou, various tribes of Western Qiang, small groups of princes who once surrendered... maybe even the emperor Liu Xie, will take the opportunity to make trouble.

Hebei is currently in the stage of vigorous government affairs. At this time, who can turn the tide?To overthrow all these bastards who took advantage of the fire?

Sima Yi and Gan Ning were supervising the construction of the navy and could not be transferred.

Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Pang Ji, Gao Lan, Han Meng, Wang Shuang and other capable generals in Jizhou lead their Chinese army busy with the relocation of Xianbei, and there are not enough manpower at present...

Zhang Yan and the former Heishan Ministry Pingdingchang, after the two thieves of Shang, are also sorting out the affairs of Taiyuan in order to cooperate with the immigration.

General Zhang He, Guo Huai, Sun Li, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other good generals commanded [-] soldiers and horses in Liyang, and were confronting Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Cao Zhang and other main forces in Zhongzhou.

The brothers of the Ma family charged into the battle, they were extremely brave, but it was usable!However, the affairs in Guanzhong are now in chaos, and they cannot be resolved simply by fighting. It is not appropriate for these generals who only know bravery to lead the army alone.

After counting a big circle, in the end, Yuan Shang still put the matter on his own head.

Well, judging from the current situation, I have to go to Guanzhong myself to get rid of the mess...

Yan Xing's rebels, Song Jian's [-] rebels, Zhang Lu's Hanzhong tribes, the restless elements among the Qiang people, the ethnic minorities in Bazhou, and if the emperor wants to win again...

Or don't go, since you are going, let's settle all these guys.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang immediately chose a general.

Among the generals that can be used, the most useful ones are undoubtedly the four brothers Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai, plus Liangzhou fierce general Pang De and others, plus some Sun Qing, Li Damu, Wang Dang, Wang Dang, etc. Zhao, Zhao Rui and some assistants...the generals are enough.

The only soldiers that can be deployed quickly, without affecting other important affairs in Hebei, are now only the high-ranking Bingzhou Army-it is estimated that there are about [-] soldiers who can be dispatched almost immediately.

Sounds a little thin...

Yuan Shang was a little worried. If Yan Xing really turned against him, it is unclear how many troops he could gather, but Song Jian had more than one hundred thousand people under his command. Zhang Lu was defeated by Zhao Yun and lost many troops. If he was restless, It is estimated that the soldiers of Hanzhong can make another [-] or so, and the ethnic minorities in Bazhou can add up to [-] to [-].

Now the most unstable and variable factor is the Qiang people!
Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che surrendered to King Xiutu and King Hunxie set up the four prefectures in Hexi, the Qiang and Han peoples have been living in the Xisai border. For hundreds of years, due to unequal treatment, the Qiang and Han people have always had constant disputes, rebellion and repression. In the past hundred years, the Han Dynasty has spent hundreds of millions of funds to suppress the rebellion of the Qiang people!

Especially in the past few decades, the warlords of the Han Dynasty fought civil wars, and the Qiang people on the border became more and more restless and powerful. Although they were still governed by the Han Dynasty, various families and tribes had been formed internally according to the clan size system. Very restless!Many years ago, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were Qiang and Han mixed blood, were so powerful, but the disaster was not serious.

After Yuan Shang ruled Guanzhong, he also sent Pang De, Ma Dai and others to appease the various tribes of the Qiang people and stabilized the border situation in Liangzhou. Coupled with the attachment of the Ma family and Yan Xing, the Qiang people will not and dare not have dissent.

Now that Zhao Yun's situation is unclear, there are frequent disturbances in Yongliang and Liangzhou, Song Jian and others are man-made disasters, Yan Xing rebelled, and Yongliang is in chaos. It's hard to say what the current mentality of the Qiang tribes is...

There are quite a few households in the various tribes of the Qiang people, counting tens of thousands of households. Once they get involved in a rebellion, they can gather together, at least [-] to [-], and at most, [-] to [-]...

Yuan Shang rubbed his temples, stood up and began to walk back and forth in the hall.

If it is calculated in this way, in an emergency, I led 20 Bingzhou troops into the Guanzhong to quell the chaos, and the opponents conservatively estimated that the total number was about 30. If the situation was the worst, [-] people would not be able to stop it!

Regardless of whether the quality is hard or not, just talking about the 30 to [-], it sounds like nothing to rush...

After pondering for a while, the light bulb in Yuan Shang's mind suddenly lit up.

He stood up abruptly, and told the guards outside the door: "Come here, give me an order to arrange a three-person banquet in the side hall, and I will invite two people to dinner tonight!"

The two people Yuan Shang wanted to invite to dinner were, in his opinion, two important trump cards that could help him win more with less, turn the tide, and determine the situation in Guanzhong.

************************
After the banquet was set up, Yuan Shang immediately ordered people to place invitation cards and sent two carriages to pick them up, while Yuan Shang stood in front of the mansion, dressed in brocade and finery, and greeted them in person.

When it was time for the dinner party, the two carriages sent out carried the people whom Yuan Shang considered as the two trump cards back to the mansion.

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, Xia Houyuan, who was tall and handsome, stepped down from the first car!
Xia Houyuan was still the same, with a majestic face and arrogance all over his body. He touched the tiger beard on his chin, his big copper bell eyes rolled up and down, and looked at Yuan Shang who greeted him at the door, as if he was trying to figure out Yuan Shang's mind, or It was weighing Yuan Shang's intentions.

Yuan Shang waved at Xia Houyuan with a smile on his face, and stepped forward to salute.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law, and his father-in-law has really worked hard here."

Xia Houyuan was expressionless. He looked at Yuan Shang as if he would never be happy. When facing Yuan Shang, his face was always stern, even if the other party specially invited him to dinner... as if the meal was paid for by him. like.

"It's not hard!" Xia Houyuan's tone couldn't hear a trace of friendliness: "What's so hard about eating! Just have a long mouth!"

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Father-in-law is good at humor... But why do you keep a straight face every time I see you? Why can't you have a good time just looking at me?"

Xia Houyuan glanced at Yuan Shang coldly, with a strange expression: "Look at you? Huh! Am I happy?"

Yuan Shang's expression was a little aggrieved: "This is weird, you are not happy to look at me, why do you look happy every time you look at little Yuan Yi? After all, she is also my daughter, father and daughter are connected, they look like each other, and they are also surnamed Yuan , isn’t your father-in-law being a little bit biased?”

Xia Houyuan curled his lips in disdain, and said, "Is she your daughter or my granddaughter! Yier is cute and can make me happy! She is fun and interesting! Can you let me play?"

Yuan Shang's eyes widened in horror: "Father-in-law, if I understand correctly, what you mean is that you often play with my daughter recently?"

"........."

It's really hard to talk to Yuan Shang, this bastard, and I have an urge to kill someone with a stick.

Xia Houyuan scratched Yuan Shang three times with his sharp eyes, like a thunderbolt!
If the eyes can be compared to a knife, Xia Houyuan's few glances can directly sweep away the three layers of skin on Yuan Shang's face, and show his nakedness directly.The X-rays of later generations are probably not as effective as his recent ones.

"Are you going to invite me to dinner? I'll go back if I don't! Good wine and good food are prepared at home, no worse than you!"

Yuan Shang secretly sighed, lamenting in his heart.

You are living in Yecheng now, it seems that the food in your family is also eaten by me, right?

It's no wonder that from ancient times to the present, the old father-in-law and the uncle have not dealt with each other. The reason is that these old father-in-laws are all unfamiliar wolves!
I have no conscience.

Yuan Shang waved his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Father-in-law, please enter the house first, and my son-in-law will receive another distinguished guest, and I will accompany you in the past later."

When Xia Houyuan heard that there were still people coming, he glanced at Yuan Shang hesitantly, but didn't say much, and walked into the mansion with strides.

Seeing Xia Houyuan entering the mansion, Yuan Shang immediately turned and walked to another carriage.

He stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain, looked around inside, and showed a friendly smile to Zhong Yao who was hesitant to get out of the car.

"Zhong Pushe, why don't you come down when you get there, how rude to hide in the car all the time?"

After Zhong Yao was captured alive, Yuan Shang made calculations.

In order for him to give birth to the Excellent Breeding Zhonghui in advance, Yuan Shang specially assigned dozens of beautiful prostitutes for him to hybridize. Although the seeds have been born now, those dozens of prostitutes have not left. With a wave of his hand, he gave it to Zhong Yao, and stayed in the Zhongfu in Yecheng as a maidservant. By the way, he continued to breed with him to see if he could produce better varieties. Yuan Shang was responsible for the monthly expenses of all the women. , the lord of Hebei is so rare and generous.

Just judging from Zhong Yao's high protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and thinner and thinner appearance, one can know that Zhong Yao's life in Yecheng was definitely very romantic.

Seeing Yuan Shang appear, Zhong Yao's whole body trembled, he hesitated and scanned around again, as if he was looking for something.

The outside of the car was empty, except for Yuan Shang and a few attendants, there was nothing.

Zhong Yao let out a long breath, and lowered his voice, "Would you like to arrange female service for this old man for tonight's meal? My old man asked Hua Tuo to help me get my pulse two days ago, and Hua Tuo said that my kidney deficit……"

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing Zhong Yao's worried expression, he immediately put on a sunny smile.

"Zhong Pushe, don't worry, Yuan promises you that we will be vegetarian tonight."

"........."
