The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 621 (reordered to correct chapter names)
Yuan Shang was very surprised by Xu Huang's surrender. Ever since this man was captured alive by Ma Chao, he has always held back his face, never giving in to Yuan Shang's energy, and never surrendering to his heart.

Since Yuan Shang pacified the Central Plains, he has been busy with a lot of things. He has a hammer here and a stick here, and he has never cared about this good general in the prison who has the style of Yafu. Instead, he put him aside. .

But who would have imagined that under Gan Ning's persuasion, Xu Huang actually surrendered on his own initiative, which is a bit surprising.

However, what Gan Ning said was out of line, Yuan Shang felt that he had to ask it himself.

"Where is Xu Huang now?" Yuan Shang touched his chin and asked in a low voice.

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Just wait outside the mansion."

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, then let him in."

Gan Ning heard the order and went, and when he was young, he led an elegant-looking man in casual clothes into the hall. The person who came was none other than Xu Huang, one of Cao Jun's five great generals.

Although he has been squatting in the prison for a long time, Xu Huang's complexion is still good. This may be because Yuan Jun's food is good, but the identity of Xu Huang is what he wants in the end. The prisoner still didn't treat him badly.

In the prison, the guards in the prison offered food and drink to Xu Huang, not to mention that there were also special prison guards who fetched water for him every day, took a hot bath, massaged him, and took a full set of health care. .

In fact, to be honest, although Xu Huang is loyal to the Cao family, he is not a fool. He also understands the truth of the general trend, even better than ordinary people.

Moreover, Xu Huang's martial arts and military skills are considered to be superior in the world. If he just died like this, no matter what others say, he really feels that it is not worth it.

If the Cao family hadn't surrendered, Xu Huang would be loyal to the Cao family and try his best to be a courtier. Although he died without complaint, but now even the entire Cao family, including the Xun family, has surrendered to Yuan Shang, and he is still here to die and be loyal. Shit?Everyone in the Cao family is unwilling to die, so who is Xu Huang here to show that he is dying?

But the reason why he is so stubborn now is not because of anything else... To put it bluntly, it is because of Yuan Shang.

Compared with Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and other generals of the Cao family, Xu Huang ate less under Yuan Shang's hands, but it doesn't mean he didn't eat!

Regarding Yuan Shang's means and shamelessness, Xu Huang can be regarded as quite knowledgeable. If he organizes the generals of the Cao family to do a survey together, and everyone writes their experience of Yuan Shang's slut's means, Xu Huang can write less than [-] yuan. It is estimated that it can be compiled to eight thousand characters.

Therefore, every time he thinks of taking refuge under this person's command, Xu Huang panics in his heart, and he can't explain why.

Therefore, the matter of Xu Huang's return has been delayed.

It wasn't until Gan Ning went to the prison to meet Xu Huang that things changed slightly.

To say that Gan Ning went to see Xu Huang because he wanted to recruit talented people for Yuan Shang would be a big mistake, he was just looking for Xu Huang to play tricks on him.

When Gan Ning defected to Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang inadvertently told everyone a famous saying of the previous life Sun Quan.

"Meng De has Zhang Liao, and a certain has Gan Xingba, which is enough to offset them!"

Ever since Yuan Shang said this, Gan Ning has always wanted to meet that Zhang Liao. Later, during the Battle of Xuzhou, he really saw it, and after Zhang Liao surrendered, Gan Ning also challenged Zhang Liao in private. Gan Ning admired Zhang Liao's ability and unique grasp of the battlefield after discussing martial arts and military tactics.

Gan Ning highly praised Zhang Liao, praising him as the number one general in the Central Plains, but he got a humble answer from Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao said to Gan Ning: "A certain ability cannot be regarded as the number one in the Central Plains, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming are worthy of this title."

Zhang Liao's praise of Xu Huang was a word of humility, but Gan Ning, who has a good memory, actually remembered this matter firmly.

Ever since, he began to miss Xu Huang again.

After Xu Huang was captured alive by Ma Chao, Gan Ning ran to the prison with nothing to do, saying that he wanted to compete with Xu Huang, understanding Xu Huang's character, although he was a prisoner, he was also proud and unafraid of him Immediately, they responded to various challenges from Gan Ning. The two had a fist fight in the prison, and discussed the art of warfare. At that time, Gao Xiang was about to go to the prison, and he and Xu Huang sworn brothers with different surnames.

Xu Huang also admired the ability of the foul-mouthed water thief leader. Later, during the conversation, he learned about Gan Ning's background and knew that he was originally a Yangtze River water pirate.

In this way, Xu Huang's prejudice against Yuan Shang changed a little. Just imagine that even if Gan Ning is very capable, Yuan Shang's family of the fifth and third princes is willing to accept him as a general. It seems that the surname Yuan is indeed a talent. Lift, unlike ordinary people.

So, under the persuasion of Gan Ning's several visits to the prison, Xu Huang agreed to try to talk to Yuan Shang.

…………

…………

"I'm Xu Huang, I've met the general." Xu Huang asked casually, not salty, but did not refer to Yuan Shang's official position in the court, nor did he call Yuan Shang the lord, but only used the word "general" as his title. It can be seen that there is still a little resentment in his heart.

What kind of person is Yuan Shang?After so many years, even a single strand of hair is empty. How can he not hear the truth in Xu Huang's words.

Sure enough, relying on Gan Ning, a barbarian, to regain this good general, is tantamount to wishful thinking.

"Sit down."

Yuan Shang casually raised his finger and pointed to the seat on the side of the hall.

Xu Huang stood stubbornly, shook his head and said: "The general is noble, Huang is only a prisoner of the first rank, how dare he sit with the general."

Yuan Shang leaned on his chin when he heard the words, and said happily: "The person sitting in front of you today is not some great general Sima, and you are not a prisoner. Let's just sit down quietly and chat as if we were two old friends. What did you think of the last chat?"

Xu Huang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said: "Although there are many meetings between you and me, there is no friendship. Is it inappropriate to call it that?"

Yuan Shang said seriously: "So, I used the word old friend, not friend."

Xu Huang pondered for a while, then threw off his robe and sat quietly beside Yuan Shang.

"In my impression, our first meeting should be in Wuchao, right?" Yuan Shang said with a smile.

Xu Huang stroked the three long beards and thought for a while, then nodded.

"At that time, General Xu Huang Xu was in his prime of life. He was really majestic and invincible. At first glance, he looked like a good general, which was very enviable."

Xu Huang glanced at Yuan Shang, and said bluntly: "At that time, Yuan Shang was treacherous, cunning, and sinister at a young age. A cold arrow shot directly at Xu Chu's ass, but I dare not forget it."

Yuan Shang: "..."

After a long silence.

"General Gongming has a prejudice against me?"

Xu Huang looked directly at Yuan Shang and said, "Shouldn't I have prejudice against you?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Huang couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Your prejudice against me is just because I am unscrupulous and insidious, but dare to ask General Xu, in today's world, who is the master, who is not cruel and insidious?"

Having said that, Yuan Shang paused for a moment, and said: "Let's not talk about it, let's just say that the two masters you once served, first Yang Feng, who was under Li Jue's subordinates in the past, only because they were dissatisfied with the rewards, they cooperated with Song Guo to rebel, and then defected. Yuan Shu was killed by Liu Bei for disturbing the people, how could he not be sinister or villainous?"

"Furthermore, Cao Cao, Meng De is the most traitorous hero in the world! The method of intimidating Emperor Han belongs to him. It is better to let me betray the people of the world than to let the people of the world betray me. , looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst is a fraud, let me ask General Gongming... Could it be that compared with your two old masters, the things I Yuan Shang did are really so unforgivable? Not necessarily?"

When Xu Huang heard the words, he fell silent and didn't say a word.

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, the treachery and cunning you said is just because you have been tricked by me and have nowhere to vent. This is not a prejudice, but a kind of resentment, but I like it." This kind of resentment, the more you stubbornly blame me, the more it will prove that I am the real winner!"

Xu Huang opened his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to say something, but in the end he kept silent.

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words, and said: "If the general does not want to be a general in our army, I will not force it, but I am short of a guard in my tent. If the general is interested, he can fill this position for the time being. After all, the general still needs to support his family. It would be inappropriate to live at home without a job, especially when I heard that the general has a son and a daughter under his knees, the general can starve himself, but he can't starve the children, right?"

Xu Huang was stubborn for a moment when he heard the words, and finally heaved a long sigh and nodded.

After all, the arms can't hold back the thighs, since I don't have the meaning of dead joints, I have to let go of some things that should be let go.

Sima Yi, who was behind Yuan Shang, had a whim when he heard the words, and said: "My lord, I heard that the daughter of General Xu has never left the court. Be a matchmaker, and make a connection between General Xu's daughter and Yuan Mai, and the Yuan and Xu families will get married, Qin and Jin are very close, what do you two think?"

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then understood what Sima Yi meant.

Since ancient times, he has formed cliques, formed cliques for private interests, and won people's hearts.In addition to using money and official positions as bait, getting married is also a very common way. After all, two families are formed by a man and a woman. They are considered relatives, and they are tied to the same boat. It won't kill your in-laws or brother-in-law, right?That's too inhumane.

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and felt that according to Xu Huang's character, the girls he educated should be unmistakable, and then said: "What do you think of Zhongda's proposal, General Xu?"

Xu Huang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "General, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's just that your younger brother Yuan Mai's reputation is really not that good. Although the status of the Xu family is not as good as that of the Yuan family, I am not Will push his own daughter into the fire pit."

Xu Huang said he didn't want to, and Yuan Shang didn't care, after all, he still has a gap in his heart, and he never attached himself, so how could he marry you so easily.

But Xu Huang didn't want to, so he didn't want to, but he used his younger brother's virtues as an example, and Yuan Shang was a little unhappy at this moment.

Although what Xu Huang said is true, Yuan Shang also knows what kind of bullshit his brother is, but he only picks it up by himself, so what do others say?

My brother, it doesn't matter how you cut it behind closed doors, others can't!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help getting angry.

"General Xu, I don't want to listen to what you say. What do you mean by pushing your daughter into the fire pit? Thinking about my brother, he needs to have a good appearance and quality, not to mention both civil and military skills. The most rare thing is to respect benevolence." Righteousness! He is the prince charming and dream lover of all the girls in Hebei, and I would not agree to how many girls from famous families want to be his concubines! How come you are so notorious?"

Xu Huang grinned when he heard the words, thinking in his heart that Yuan Shang's face was really thick, and it was not Xu Huang who said that Yuan Mai's reputation was as bad as it was outside, and it was not Xu Huang who said it alone. No distinction?
"Don't blame General Yuan, it's just that your brother's name is really not very good, and the twisted melon is not sweet..."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "General Xu, most of the hearsay is false. How can you believe the rumors in the market? Have you seen my brother? If you haven't seen me, don't talk nonsense..."

"Report!"

While Yuan Shang was talking, he saw a guard hurriedly came outside the hall, cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shang: "My lord, something is wrong! The Qingshi Street in the west of Xuchang City is flooded and caught fire! The fire is huge! My lord, quickly dispatch troops to put out the fire!"

"A street in the west of the city is on fire?" Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "What's going on? Who did it?"

The guard swallowed and said, "It's the Fourth Young Master Yuan Mai..."

"........."

Hearing this, Xu Huang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, while Yuan Shang staggered and almost fell from his seat. Fortunately, Sima Yi helped him in time and comforted him repeatedly.

"Yuan... Yuan Mai? There's something wrong with him! Why set fire to the street?"

The guard said cautiously: "The Qingshi Street in the west of the city is where the local brothels and brothels gather. The Fourth Young Master, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei just arrived in Xuchang today. The girl's looks were not satisfactory, she was either fat or two pounds, or she had pimples on her face, or she was a clown with big nose and big eyes. The fourth son was furious, saying that a city as big as Xuchang couldn't even be straight. I can’t find any whores in the eight scriptures, but they are such scumbags who are ashamed to come out to prostitution? So the celebrity ordered all the kilns in Qingshi Street to comfort Confucius’ spirit in heaven..."

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face immediately turned a liver-colored color, his fists were clenched tightly, and his teeth were chattering.

Xu Huang at the side glanced at him lightly, then picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of it, feeling very comfortable.

After a long time, seeing Yuan Shang sighed, he said helplessly: "General Xu is right, twisted melons are not sweet, I think let's forget about getting married."

"The general said very well."

"........."
