The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49

Yuan Shang reported the inspection of the materials.

Yuan Shao was a little puzzled: "Young Master Zhen sent copper coins, but bought chickens and ducks from Taiyuan and sent them here?"

"Exactly." Yuan Shang replied: "Father wants to confiscate the chickens and ducks in Taiyuan, so why would the fourth brother refuse? Isn't this using our own money to buy our own things?"

"Did you ask Zhen Yao why he bought chickens and ducks in Taiyuan?" Yuan Shao asked.

"I didn't ask." Yuan Shang replied, "I think the fourth brother asked them to do this."

"I've earned my own money." Yuan Shao said to Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Look at Xu'er, he's a shrewd businessman?"

"Xu'er has always been eccentric, and I am not surprised to do such a thing." Mrs. Liu replied, "It's just to earn my own money..."

"What's wrong?" Yuan Shao heard that she still had something to say.

"It's nothing." Mrs. Liu smiled slightly: "I'm just talking casually."

Without further questioning, Yuan Shao told Yuan Shang: "Show me the list of supplies."

Yuan Shang presented the list with both hands.

After browsing through it, Yuan Shao said: "Although the copper coins are less, the food is more than in previous years, especially the chickens and ducks. The Zhen family has put their heart into it this year."

"A lot of food is actually limited." Yuan Shang replied: "The amount of copper coins is not small."

Yuan Shao laughed, and handed the list back to him: "The soldiers in the army only eat food, how can they be in good health? Sending these chickens and ducks is according to my mind."

He stood up and said, "You two are chatting, I'll go first."

Mrs. Liu and Yuan Shang sent him out.

When he walked away, Mrs. Liu asked Yuan Shang: "Did you see it?"

"See what?" Yuan Shang was at a loss.

"The materials go to Taiyuan first, and when they are delivered to Yecheng, there will be a difference from previous years." Mrs. Liu asked, "Don't you think it's weird?"

"There is indeed something wrong, but I can't tell what went wrong." Yuan Shang frowned: "The total number is not too much..."

"That's not what I said." Mrs. Liu interrupted.

"Mother means..." Yuan Shang was even more at a loss.

"It's your father's attitude." Mrs. Liu replied: "Send the materials to Taiyuan first, Yuan Xu won't pluck the feathers? Even if he didn't do that, the chickens and ducks were purchased with the money that should have been sent to Yecheng. No matter No matter what, he has benefited from it."

"What does it have to do with father's attitude?" Yuan Shang probably understood what she meant, but he still asked.

Mrs. Liu raised her hand and poked him on the forehead: "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you? Knowing that he has benefited from it, but pretending not to know, your father used to have such a temperament?"

Yuan Shang asked worriedly: "Then what should we do?""

"He has always loved you, and he has long wanted to hand over Hebei to you." Mrs. Liu said, "Without Yuan Xu, everything would be in order. With him now, it's hard to say what the future will be like."

"Mother wants me to..." Yuan Shang's complexion changed very badly.

"If you don't get rid of him, do you think there is still a chance to get Hebei?" Mrs. Liu asked.

Yuan Shang was silent...

Of course he wanted Hebei, and there was nothing wrong with getting rid of his brother.

It's just that I tried my best to win over Yuan Xu earlier, and got feedback.

Turning against Yuan Xu at this time, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?
He said to Mrs. Liu: "What my mother said, I will remember it in my heart."

"What's the use of just remembering it in your heart? Don't you want to do something?" Mrs. Liu said, "Don't wait until someone else makes a move before you regret it."

"I dare not forget a single word of my mother's teaching." Yuan Shang responded immediately.

Since arriving in Taiyuan, Yuan Xu has devoted most of his energy to people's livelihood, and relatively less attention to military affairs.

He didn't ask too much after the conscription documents were sent out.

Zhen Yao sent supplies to Yecheng, and all the copper coins that Yuan Xu withheld were handed over to Tian Feng to buy cattle and horses.

Cao Cao is eyeing him fiercely, and war may break out at any time.

Yuan Xu felt that it was time for him to visit the barracks.

Taiyuan is only a county in Bingzhou, but it is the capital of the state, so the scale of the military camp is certainly not small.

People invited Tian Feng, and Yuan Xu went to the barracks accompanied by him.

When they came to Yuanmen, the gatekeepers hurriedly greeted them.

"How many people came to join the army?" He asked Tian Feng.

"Return to your son." Tian Feng replied: "There are only a few thousand people who joined the army..."

"Why so few?" Yuan Xu was surprised.

"There is a shortage of civilians in various places, and coupled with the defeat at Guandu, many people do not believe that the Yuan family can defeat Cao Cao. Therefore, not many people joined the army."

"There is a lack of generals in the army." Yuan Xu asked again: "Are there any heroes who have come to serve?"

Tian Feng shook his head: "Not really."

Yuan Xu nodded silently.

Cao Cao and others have been fighting for many years. Almost all the fierce people who were once in the opposition voted for a hero. How can there be any hero who will vote for him?
Before Guandu, the Yuan family didn't have strong generals.

Ju Yi, who went to the camp first, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan among the four court pillars in Hebei...

Even Lu Bu defected to Yuan Shao two years earlier.

Now that things are not people, there are no generals, and the entire Yuan family doesn't have many generals who can do it.

The magic voice once said that after reaching the third level of summoning, one can summon the dead generals and counselors of the dynasty.

Now his summoning skills have only broken through the second level, and it is still far away to reach the third level.

It is indeed a trouble to march and fight without a strong general to lead the troops.

When Yuan Xu came to the barracks, the newly recruited soldiers rushed to the school field to line up.

Looking at the soldiers in formation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lack of training and outdated equipment, they are recruits rather than a mob.

"Why haven't the ordnance been changed?" He asked Tian Feng.

"Young master has indeed made a lot of money. Seventy-eight out of ten were spent on buying animals, and the weapons of the soldiers are just..."

"Sooner or later, Cao Cao will send soldiers to Yuan's family, and when the time comes, he will bring such soldiers to fight the enemy immediately?" Yuan Xu said: "In any case, we must arrest all the drills and ordnance equipment."

"I will urge you." Tian Feng responded.

"It's not urging, but it must be done." Yuan Xu said: "Bringing this group of mobs into battle, do you want them to die in battle, and then drive the corpses to fight?"

Tian Feng had nothing to say.

He has long seen that the newly recruited soldiers cannot be brought to the battlefield.

Everything needs money, and many problems cannot be solved immediately.

"I'll go to Yanmen." Yuan Xu turned and left the school grounds: "Gao Gan said that he would go to him if he had something to do. Now that I'm in trouble, he probably can't find a reason to ignore it."

"Master, you plan to go in person?" Tian Feng asked.

"What else can I do if I don't go there myself?" Yuan Xu curled his lips: "Is there anyone else who can beg for people and armaments from high-ranking officials?"

"Didn't the young master recruit Jiang Gan?" Tian Feng reminded: "Always let him have something to do."

"Jiang Gan?" Yuan Xu's eyes lit up: "If he goes, it will really save me this trip."
