The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

14 - Let him go and never return
In the battle of Guandu, the Yuan family lost more than [-] elites, and countless money wasted.

Even so, when Yuan Xu went to Zhongshan, Yuan Shao ordered to prepare a lot of bride price.

Zhongshan is in Hebei, and the journey is not far away.

A few days after Yuan Xu set off, the news reached Xu Du.

After the Muye incident, Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia, Xun You and others.

At that time, a consensus had been reached that there was such a person in the Yuan family, and he must be eradicated before moving northward with confidence.

After getting the news, Cao Cao summoned everyone.

"Just got the news that Yuan Xianxin went to Zhongshan." Cao Cao asked the crowd, "What method can we use to get rid of him?"

"Father." Before everyone could speak, a boy who was sitting stood up.

He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but there was a decisive look in his eyes.

The boy is Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Cao.

"Do you have something to say?" Cao Cao asked.

"My son is willing to share his father's worries." Cao Pi replied, "Guanbao let Yuan Xianxin go and never return!"

"Huangkou kid, what do you know?" Cao Cao glared at him, "Sit down!"

Although Cao Pi was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say more, so he had to sit down.

"Yuan Xianxin went to Zhongshan, which is a good opportunity to kill him." Guo Jia stood up: "But it's better to use the hands of the Yuan family, not the Lord's messenger."

"Using the Yuan family?" Cao Cao shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"I heard that Yuan Benchu ​​originally planned to propose a marriage for Yuan Xi." Guo Jia said, "It was Yuan Xu who went to Zhongshan to meet his relatives. How could Yuan Xi endure it? Maybe he had already fought in secret."

"Yuan Xi?" Cao Cao smiled contemptuously, "I don't think he can deal with Yuan Xianxin."

"Be prepared with both hands." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Xi can't do anything, my lord will do it later."

"How to do it?"

"Send someone eloquent to Yecheng to contact Yuan Xi and persuade him to deal with Yuan Xianxin." Guo Jia replied, "Arrange another team to lurk. It would be best if Yuan Xi succeeds. If not, our people Make another knife, and you can probably succeed."

Cao Cao looked at the others: "What do you think?"

Everyone agreed.

"Who is going to Yecheng and who is going to Zhongshan?" Cao Cao asked again.

"One of the last generals can go to Zhongshan." Cao Hong stood up.

"Who is this person?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yan Ming." Cao Hong replied, "He is brave enough to take on this matter."

Cao Cao nodded.

"Yan Ming went to Zhongshan alone, didn't he..." Thinking back to the Battle of Mu Ye, Cao Ren, who is still terrified, reminded: "Don't forget Yuan Xianxin's magic skills."

"I will remind Yan Ming to choose a place where there are no dead people." Cao Hong replied, "I can't find any dead people. Let's see what he can do!"

Cao Ren no longer objected.

What Yuan Xu drove back then was indeed a corpse.

With no dead bodies to be found, his sorcery might really be useless!
"Who can recommend someone to go to Yecheng?" Cao Cao asked again.

"I would like to go!" Another person stood up.

This person looks ordinary, and it is difficult to distinguish him when he gets into the crowd.

But he exudes a heavy scholarly air, and he can tell that he is a master who has read a lot of books and speaks amazingly without opening his mouth.

He was Mao Jie who advised Cao Cao a few years ago to welcome the Emperor of Han and coerce the emperor to make the princes.

"Yecheng is no different than other places. Xiao Xiao will go there in person first. I'm worried that I will encounter danger." Cao Cao shook his head: "I'd recommend someone else who can speak eloquently."

"I'm not like everyone sitting here. I'm either handsome and elegant, or strong and mighty, or sophisticated and capable." Mao Jie said: "Put on common people's clothes and stand among the crowd, and Yuan Shao may not necessarily notice me."

What Mao Jie said was the truth, and he flattered everyone present without any trace.

"Filial piety is my arm first, I can't put you in danger." Cao Cao still shook his head.

"Yuan Shao is entrenched in Hebei, and if we don't destroy him, when will the lord be able to correct his great achievements?" Mao Jie said: "There is a man named Yuan Xianxin in Hebei who knows how to bewitch. You must get rid of him before the army can have a chance to advance north. , even if I die a hundred times, I am willing!"

After speaking, he bowed a big gift to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked puzzled and looked at the others.

"Filial piety first has a heart, why can't the master fulfill it?" A staff member who was about five years away, with slightly gray hair and beard, stood up.

This person is also one of Cao Cao's most important staff.

His name was Cheng Yu, he had been in Qingzhou earlier, and he had only come to Xudu in the past few days.

Cao Cao finally nodded: "Zhongde has opened his mouth, so please trouble Xiao to go to Yecheng first."

Then he reminded: "If you find something wrong, quit immediately, without delay!"

"Master, I will write it down." Mao Jie agreed.

Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao again: "Although two hands are well prepared, I think we should save one more to ensure that Yuan Xianxin will surely die!"

After making sufficient arrangements, Cao Cao still felt uneasy.

He hurriedly asked: "Zhongde still has a clever plan?"

"My lord is preparing from the outside in." Cheng Yu said, "We can make plans from the inside out."

Cao Cao summoned his staff to discuss how to deal with Yuan Xu.

The plan was made on the same day, and the three groups of people left Xudu.

Mao Jie and Yan Ming went to Yecheng and Zhongshan respectively, and another team went in the same direction as Yan Ming, but they didn't travel together.

On the way to Zhongshan to meet his relatives, Yuan Xu strolled leisurely along the way, walking at a leisurely pace.

Tian Feng and Feng Ji were by his side.

He should have arrived long ago on his normal journey, but being led by Yuan Xu, it took twice as much time to enter the Zhongshan area.

Feng Ji pointed to the front: "Not far ahead is the property of the Zhen family."

"You can see their family property just after entering Zhongshan." Yuan Xu was surprised: "How rich is the Zhen family?"

"The Zhen family is the richest man in Zhongshan, and they have supported the lord a lot these years." Feng Ji replied: "The lord has long wanted to get married, and the young master has fulfilled his wish."

"As a son, he should share his father's worries." Yuan Xu responded frankly.

"Uh..." Feng Ji looked embarrassed, and replied: "Young Master said..."

But he was muttering in his heart: Ever since Makino reunited, the Fourth Young Master seemed to be a different person.

Zhen Mi's beauty is unsurpassed and unsurpassed in the world. Marrying such a beauty seems to be a big loss for him...

The former fourth son was cowardly and reticent, but now he is brazen and outrageous...

Feng Ji muttered in his heart, Tian Feng pointed forward: "My lord, someone is coming."

More than a dozen warriors in leather armor rushed to the horse.

Judging from their attire, they don't belong to any faction.

As they got closer, the warriors dismounted one after another.

Someone trotted forward.

Two guards went up to him and stopped him.

After a while, the guard led him to Yuan Xu.

"Samurai of the Zhen Family Nursing Academy in Zhongshan, I have met the Fourth Young Master!"

The master didn't come, but sent warriors to greet him. Yuan Xu knew that he was underestimated.

"When did the Zhen family become so impolite?" Feng Ji frowned, "The fourth son greeted the bride personally, but the patriarch didn't come?"
