The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 590 The Final Competition

After hearing Diao Chan's words, Yuan Shang couldn't help closing his eyes and began to think deeply.

Diao Chan smiled from the side and said, "Son-in-law, although Mrs. Bian is Cao Cao's wife, she is virtuous by nature and knows how to advance and retreat. Moreover, as she is now, she is also the best in raising children, the most progressive of Cao Cao's knees." The sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, etc., were all brought up by the Bian family, but she was pure and kind-hearted, not easy to fight, and she was very dignified in the eyes of the sons. If the son-in-law could talk to the Bian family, let her go Persuading the Cao family to surrender will surely get twice the result with half the effort!"

After Yuan Shang thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, admitting that Diao Chan's words were indeed reasonable. As soon as they met, this aunt who was famous in history gave him such a great trick, and Yuan Shang couldn't help feeling grateful in his heart.

However, he then thought of another question.

"Although Auntie's idea is good, it's a pity that I don't know Mrs. Bian, and none of my subordinates have any contact with Cao's concubines... Even if I can send people to sneak into Xuchang City, but To get on the line..."

Diao Chan laughed and said: "Since I can come up with this idea for my son-in-law, I can naturally help him. The three of us have lived in Xuchang for many years. Although we are widows of enemy prisoners, we still lead Xuchang As the wife of Cao Cao, Mrs. Bian will condescend to lead people to visit us orphans and widows during the festivals. Although they are not close friends, they are familiar with each other. As long as my son-in-law can secretly send me back to Xuchang City , and send capable people to listen to my command, let me see Mrs. Bian, and I promise to persuade her for you!"

Yuan Shang heard the words, touched his chin and didn't speak, but subconsciously turned his head to look at the other two mothers-in-law.

Mrs. Cao didn't speak, but Mrs. Yan nodded and said, "Sister Xiu'er is right. This is indeed true. Mrs. Bian really takes care of us on weekdays. We don't have a deep friendship, but we meet several times a year."

Yuan Shang pondered for a while when he heard the words, then suddenly raised his head and gave instructions to the people outside the tent.

"Go and call me Sima Yi and Zhang Liao."

The three wives were fine when they heard Sima Yi's name, but they couldn't help trembling slightly when they heard Zhang Liao.

When he was young, he saw Sima Yi and Zhang Liao coming in together. As soon as Fang entered the tent, Zhang Liao saw the three wives, his face became tense, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "The last general, Zhang Liao, has seen the three mistresses!"

Seeing Zhang Liao, the faces of the three women couldn't help showing deep emotions.

Yan stepped forward, raised his hand to support Zhang Liao, and said with a look of deep gratitude, "General Zhang, I didn't expect you to be here? Alas~~, these years, if General Zhang hadn't been in Xuchang, I tried my best to protect us. It is still unknown whether the three of my sisters can survive until now... I heard that General Zhang went to war and never came back. We thought that General Ma Ge returned to his body and died in battle. , in this heart... Sigh, don't say those depressing words, I would never have thought that we would meet here today!"

Cao Shi was also very happy to see Zhang Liao, and said, "General Zhang, why are you here?"

Cao's words made Zhang Liao blush, but Yuan Shang said with a smile: "General Zhang has abandoned the dark for the bright and surrendered to me... and under Lingqi's tent, he is serving the descendants of Marquis Wen again. The three wives feel that how?"

Yan Shi couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard the words, she nodded and said: "It couldn't be better!"

Yuan Shang turned his head to the two of them with a smile, and said: "I am looking for you two, I entrust you two with one matter, my aunt Xiu'er, I want to sneak back to Xuchang secretly, and convince Cao's mistress for me The Bian family persuaded Cao Zhi to return to Yuan. I thought about it. One of you is an old minister of the Cao family, and the other used to go to Xuchang for me as an envoy to an important official. You are relatively familiar with the place, so I would like to ask you two to go on my behalf. How do you two feel about protecting my aunt's safety and listening to her orders, or dealing with emergencies?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded and said: "It's all at the disposal of the lord and madam!"

Diao Chan also smiled and said, "General Zhang and Mr. Sima are here."

Don't look at Diao Chan's age is not too young, but this smile is still alluring, full of maturity and charm.

Zhang Liao had known Diao Chan for a long time, but it was fine, but Sima Yi was stunned by this smile, blushing, his mouth was dry, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

"Is this your mother-in-law?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Why, can't it?"

"How can she be your mother-in-law It's a pity."

Others didn't understand what he meant, but Yuan Shang knew what he was like best.

There was a soft look in his eyes, Yuan Shang grinned and said, "What do you mean by that, brat?"

Sima Yi was shocked when he saw this, and quickly rounded up the words.

"I mean, if only I had such a mother-in-law!"

"........."

After the matter was roughly settled, Yuan Shang immediately sent someone to send the three mothers-in-law back to the tent to rest. As soon as Fang came out of the tent, Yan Shi hurriedly said to Diao Chan: "Sister, we finally escaped from Xuchang. If you lost your freedom, why did you take the initiative to ask Ying to go back to that place? It’s better if nothing happens, but if something happens, how can you let me, a sister, feel at ease?”

Cao Shi also nodded and said: "That's right, we are women, why bother to meddle in the military affairs between their men?"

Diao Chan sighed, and said: "You two sisters, I don't want to do this either, it's just out of helplessness, I heard that Ling Qi and our son-in-law are friends in need, a couple who share weal and woe, such a couple is good, but After all, Yuan Shang is the overlord of the world, the leader of the world's lords. After all, we are relying on others now, not to mention that even Lingqi was trapped in order to save us this time. How much trouble did it cause him? Although he didn't say anything, There is no grudge in our hearts, if we act useless now, to be honest, we can only let them do what they want. Compared with the other wives in the future, Lingqi may have no status. It can be regarded as helping Lingqi consolidate her position in his husband's heart, which will also benefit us in our later years... In short, although we are new to Yuanying, even though we are women, we can't make Yuan Shang think we are useless and look down on our Lu family."

When Yan Shi and Cao Shi heard this, they suddenly realized.

After a long time, Yan Shi lowered his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "It's really not easy for a woman in troubled times to live..."

******************************
After resting for a while, Yuan Shang asked Zhang Liao and Sima Yi to protect Diao Chan with their elite men, Wen and Wu, and secretly went to Xuchang to persuade the Bian family. At the same time, he personally ordered all the soldiers and horses, turned north, and went straight to Guandu. The main force will reconcile.

This move was completely beyond everyone's expectations, but the words of the monarch are as important as Jiuding, even if they had doubts, they did not dare to disobey under Yuan Shang's military orders.

In this way, all the 30 Yuan troops of the Southern Expedition gathered in Guandu Lane in front of Xuchang, waiting for Yuan Shang to issue the final military order.

When they arrived at Guandu, Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others led the mighty generals of Yuan Jun's various ministries to greet them. Everyone was separated for several months. Naturally, they were very happy when they met, and they inevitably had a lot of politeness and pleasantries. After that, the topic was pulled into the topic just now.

"Third brother, you have captured Xuzhou, and you have already invaded the right flank of Cao's army. If you go straight to Xuchang and form an angle with the main force, and attack from both sides, Cao's army will be defeated. Why did you come to join us instead?" Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shangdao curiously.

"Because..." Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "For the sake of our Yuan family's reputation, I must be here to settle everything about the Yuan family and the Cao family! Second brother, for you and me, the source of everything back then From Guandu to today, everything will end at Guandu, which is of vital importance to our army, to our army's status in the hearts of the princes of the world, and to our Yuanmen's reputation!"

Jushou smiled when he heard the words, and said: "I never thought that my lord is a person who is concerned about reputation. I never thought that today, but I am cautious and stingy about my reputation. The beginning of Guandu and the end of Guandu, my lord, do you want to leave a mark in the history books?" A rich one?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to reputation before, it was because of the facts, or I didn't have absolute certainty, but now I have absolute certainty that I can defeat Cao Zhi, why don't I add to the cake and earn money for the Yuan family?" What about the biggest name?"

Tian Feng touched his beard and said with emotion: "In a flash, it's almost ten years!"

Ju Shou also expressed emotion: "Yes, for ten years, Yuan Cao has been in constant disputes. In the battle of Guandu, the former master and Cao Cao were the dominant players. Today, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and the former master and Cao Cao both perish. Those who stayed behind to draw the ending for them were actually Cao Zhi and Hebei's current masters of talents, looking back on the past, it really makes people feel a lot of emotion!"

Yuan Xi stood up, walked around the tent several times, and suddenly turned to Yuan Shang, "Third brother, tell me, how will we fight this last big battle?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "It's just to suppress people with force. Concentrate all your strength to defeat Cao Jun. This battle doesn't require any tricks and tricks. I, Yuan Jun, dispatched all the elite, that's all."

Speaking of which.Yuan Shang thought for a while, and then asked, "What's going on with Cao Zhi?"

Ju Shou stood up and said: "Cao Zhi is in Guandu, gathered all the remaining generals and troops of Cao's army, built an earthen city, deep ditches and high fortifications, it seems that he is waiting for our decisive battle!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "Order the three armies. Tomorrow, the three shifts will prepare food, and the fifth shift will raise troops to attack Guandu with all their strength. If the battle of Guandu is won, the north will be settled!"

"........."
