The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52

Cui Yan rubbed his stomach with his hand, Zhang Xiuxin said damn it, he came from a long way, and he hasn't eaten yet, this business is not righteous, food is still to be taken care of.

Cui Yan went to eat, and Zhang Xiu said to Jia Xu in horror; "Mr. Wen He, what do you mean? Are you going to kill yourself?" Jia Xu sneered, "My lord, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Xiu said with a mournful face "The two great powers in the Central Plains, Cao Cao has been offended by me, and now you have offended Yuan Shao, and now both of them hate me, Zhang Xiu, so why don't you let me be afraid." Jia Xu supported Zhang Xiu to sit Next, he comforted me; "My lord, be safe and don't be impatient. Who said Cao Cao hates you to the bone?" Zhang Xiu wondered; "If I kill your son, you won't hate me." Jia Xu shook his head and said; In the world, how can you lose a general because of personal grievances? Jia Xu predicted that if the lord surrenders to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will definitely ignore the past." Zhang Xiu snorted coldly; "Why." Jia Xu smiled; "There are three reasons: first, Yuan Shao's power is tyrannical, Our army is small, so surrendering to Yuan Shao will definitely not be taken seriously. Cao Cao is now far behind Yuan Shao, and we will be taken seriously if we surrender to Cao Cao.

Second, Cao Cao does have grudges with the lord, but think about it, the lord is not the only one who has grudges against Cao Cao, like Chen Liu Zhang Miao, Xiliang Ma Teng, etc. Cao Cao got the lord so that he can show his generosity to the world Selflessness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with Cao Cao's wisdom, how could he let it go.

The third is also the most important. Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes, and no one in the world can compete with him. Yuan Shao attacked the emperor against the sky, so there is no reason for him to be invincible. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly took Jia Xu's hand and said, "If it weren't for Mr.'s kind words, Zhang Xiu would die today without a place to bury him." Still uneasy, why.On the other hand, Jia Xu is calm and confident without panic, and I can't help admiring her.

He didn't think about it, Cao Cao would only look for Zhang Xiu if he wanted to settle accounts with Qiuhou in the future, and he would never blame Mr. Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.Jia Xu, Jia Xu, you are really ruthless, Zhang Xiu was played to death by you.

After eating, Cui Yan wandered around the house, thinking that since Jia Xu rejected him in person, he couldn't stay here for long, and things would change later.But the second son's letter hasn't been sent yet, how can we avoid everyone's eyes and ears.He thought for a long time, and suddenly, the door opened, and a tea delivery girl came in, Cui Yan thought about it, and said, "Come here." The maid came over; "What do you want, sir?" She took out 50 taels of silver and stuffed it in the maid's hand, and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, but when I came to Wancheng, I prepared a small gift for General Zhang's wife, but I don't know how to send it, so I want to ask the girl."

That servant girl is also greedy for money. When she saw the money, she was very happy. She never thought that ill-gotten wealth should not be cared for. She said courteously; "If you want to give a gift, sir, this servant girl can take you to see Mrs. Rong. Mrs. Rong is not the general's wife." , but he is the most favored by the general, and the general will basically stay there every day, and the servants can take the husband there." Cui Yan thought to himself, I care about his wife, Mrs. Wang, as long as he can send the letter to Zhang Xiu alone. .Cui Yan said to the servant girl, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare some presents."

Mrs. Rong is a pretty girl in her teens. She looks like a flower and jade, and her skin is white and tender, as if water can be squeezed out with her hands.When Cui Yan came to Wancheng, Yuan Shao brought a lot of gifts to Zhang Xiu Jia Xu in order to win people's hearts. Just now, Cui Yan was scolded by Jia Xu before Cui Yan had time to offer them.When he brought half of these gifts in front of Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Rong's flowery face immediately burst into infinite brilliance, and said with a charming smile; "Sir, I don't know if there is anything I can help you with."

Cui Yan pretended to be indifferent; "It's nothing serious, I just want to meet General Zhang—" Mrs. Rong saw so many gifts from others, including jade, gold fork, agate and jadeite, all of which were very expensive, and she was also very happy. I liked it, and felt that Cui Yan was quite sincere, so I called her a servant girl; "Go, call the general over, and just say that I have something to do with him." When Cui Yan heard this, his tone was almost the same as calling her a son.The servant girl smiled and nodded; "It's Madam." She ran out like a butterfly wearing flowers and called Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu was really obedient, and not long after, she followed the maidservant over, sweating profusely while wiping her sweat, panting and saying, "Ma'am—I—I have something to do with you." Madam Rong rolled her eyes at him, Xin said, if you grow up like Cui Yan, I can also be gentle with you, now like this——

Mrs. Rong said angrily: "I asked you to come once, you pushed three times and four times, why are you so slow." Zhang Xiu maintained the posture of a three-good student standing in front of the teacher, and said timidly; "Madam, it is Mr. Wen He, he Don't let me come, say——" Mrs. Rong turned around and said sharply; "What is he, are you the master or he is the master of Wancheng?" Zhang Xiu was so frightened that his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he said again and again; " He is the lord—no—I am the lord—" Cui Yan wondered if Zhang Xiu had a tendency to be abused, and he couldn't let go of such a dominatrix. If she wanted me, she would have given up.

When Zhang Xiu came in for a long time, his eyes couldn't move Madam Rong's face calmly, and he didn't even see Cui Yan standing beside him.Mrs. Rong said angrily, "I am not looking for you, Master Cui is looking for you." Zhang Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw Cui Yan, her face turned red, thinking that you are really good at it, Madam, you can do it in front of outsiders. I don't know how to save some face for me. If this matter gets out, how can I see people.At the same time, he also wondered why this guy Cui Yan came to my wife's room, could it be that the two of them had an affair, and thought it was impossible, he only came for less than two hours, no matter how cheap Mrs. Rong is, At this hour and a half, I can't hook up.Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu felt a little unhappy, and said coldly, "Mr. Cui, why don't you serve tea in the front hall when you have something to do, but come to the inner house sneakily."

This is probably the first time in Cui Yan's life that someone scolded him for being a sneaky person. He has always boasted of being upright and upright. He thought that Yuan Xi was a good job for me, which ruined my reputation for the rest of my life.Holding back his breath, he said, "Forgive me, General. Yan invites the General to come to the inner house. I just want to have a private conversation with the General, and present a letter from my second son, Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi." He took out a letter from his pocket. .It was the letter that was addressed to Liu Biao just now.

Zhang Xiu saw that it was a letter again, and felt excited for a while, thinking that it must be beneficial, this father gave a gift, and his son will definitely give another gift.He murmured, "Yuan Xi, Yuan Xianyi, the one who defeated Zhang Liao a few days ago and forced Sun Ce to become the court's son-in-law." Cui Yan said, "It's the son." Zhang Xiu's expression became serious, and he thought This man used an empty city of [-] remnants to force Zhang Liao back. He had some skills, but he had to read his letters.Immediately took the letter from Cui Yan, opened the envelope, and said, "I tell you Cui Yan, Mr. Wenhe from my family has already said that we are going to surrender to Cao Cao, you should go back, I can't help it, really , this letter—”

As soon as Zhang Xiu cast his eyes on the letter paper, his expression changed when he saw the gorgeous, clean, majestic, and threatening font. He saw the first sentence on it read: "General Zhang wants to die? Then surrender to Cao Cao? Dian Wei Huh, Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, General, do you still remember it? Since ancient times, the hatred of killing your son and taking your wife, who can forget it, the general must not make mistakes. Here are three sentences from Yuan Xi to the general, I hope the general will carefully consider and add them consider.

First of all, in the world today, the Yuan family and the Cao family are the only ones who are the most powerful in the world. The general’s ambition is not in the world. Naturally, he wants to find a master to live in. If he does not vote for Yuan, he must vote for Cao. The general may think that Cao Cao’s ambition is in the world. The world will definitely not bear the hatred of the general for killing his son, and use this to show the people of the world that he is righteous and has no personal grudges.It is true that Cao Cao is in decline today and lost to Hebei's strong army, so he will definitely treat the general well, but has the general ever thought that if Cao Cao wins the battle at Guandu, his power will surely sweep the north, and Cao Cao will win the prestige of victory. , Sun Quan was frightened.At that time, Cao Cao will dominate the world, will he tolerate you, a son-killing enemy?Ten thousand steps back, even if Cao Cao is open-minded and really ignores the past, but can his sons tolerate you?Don't forget that Cao Cao is nearly fifty years old.But the general is in the prime of his life, and the years are still very long.

Second, Cao Cao entrusted the name of the Han to be a traitor of the Han. This way of Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang's death will surely become the public enemy of the world sooner or later. If the general votes for Cao, he will definitely die with him.

Yuan Xi knows a thing or two about the thoughts of the three generals. The general's concern is that he has few major generals, and he is afraid that our Yuan family will be powerful and will not be reused here.In fact, it is not the case. My father Yuan Shao has always admired the general's prestige, and looking forward to the general's arrival is like looking forward to the rain after a long drought.In addition, the general has been stationed in Wancheng for many years and is familiar with the geography near Xuchang. If we make great contributions in the battle of Yuan Cao, how can our Yuan family treat the general poorly.The general must not misunderstand people's words, be played by others, and cast himself under the command of the great enemy Cao Cao.What Cao Cao hates is only you, the general. Your staff and soldiers, under Cao Cao, can still be a high-ranking official like the governor of the county if they make meritorious service, but what about you, the general?When the world is peaceful and the sea is a barrel, who will care about your life and death.Yuan Xi advised me with kind words, I hope the general will think clearly, your situation is different from others, and you must not be a stepping stone for others to get promoted and get rich. [Here we only refer to Jia Xu, which belongs to sowing dissension]

Cui Yan is a modest gentleman, from the beginning to the end he never opened the letter to take a look, not knowing what was written in the letter.Seeing Zhang Xiu holding the letter, Cui Yan's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his neck. He wondered what the second young master had written in his heart, and why Zhang Xiu was so frightened that his hands began to tremble. up.

Zhang Xiu's neck was thickened, and holding the letter, she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva again and again, as if swallowing a whole egg in one gulp, choking on it.Mrs. Rong snatched the letter, threw it on the ground before reading it, and reprimanded Zhang Xiu loudly; "Are you crazy, surrendering to Cao Cao, this must be the attention of that Jia Xu again, you are confused Who are you, Cao Cao, that is your big enemy, I ask you if someone kills your son, do you hate him?" Zhang Xiu smiled wryly, talking nonsense in his heart, I don't want to chop him into meat sauce.After this thought came out, he felt a chill down his spine, as if someone had put a steel knife on his neck.Could it be that he is really a stepping stone for Jia Xu to get promoted and get rich?If you surrender to Cao Cao, as Yuan Xi said, there will be a long time to come. When the world is at peace, can Cao Cao let me off, my son-killing enemy?Of course, Mr. Wen He doesn't care, the big deal is to change his master and make the same plans to get promoted and make a fortune, but can he do it by himself?
The cold sweat on Zhang Xiu's forehead grew more and more, and she was stunned for a while. Mrs. Chang Rong jumped anxiously, gritted her teeth and said, "That Jia Xu only cares about himself, and doesn't care about your comfort at all. You can continue to be happy and happy, how about you? Aren't our family members going to die with you without a burial?" She jumped up and down, poking Zhang Xiu's head with her jade fingers.Zhang Xiu just stood there silently.Cui Yan also looked more surprised, thinking that Zhang Xiu is still a henpecked master, so he dared not speak up even after being bullied by her, how strange.It took Zhang Xiu a long time to wake up from the astonishment and fear, and he said to Cui Yan in a trembling voice: "Mr. Cui, I have made up my mind. I will surrender to General Yuan in the next day. Please delay for a few days, sir. Zhang Xiu has finished rectifying his troops and horses." , and went to Jizhou with my husband."

Cui Yan was overjoyed at the turn of events, thinking that he would not be able to complete the task this time, but Zhang Xiu's attitude took a sharp turn after reading the second son's letter, really unexpected.Cui Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "If the general can do this, it is really a wise move, and it is also a blessing for the people of the world." Zhang Xiu waved his hands and sighed; "If it weren't for the words of the second son Yuan, Zhang Xiu would have almost died without a place to bury him." Don't mention that gratitude.

Cui Yan worried; "It's just that Mr. Jia Xu insists on surrendering Cao, so what should I do?" Zhang Xiu looked up to the sky and took a deep breath; "I am the master of my territory, and this time I can't let him." Cui Yan said again I thought to myself, what did the Second Young Master write in the letter, which caused Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to turn against each other, such a writing style is enough to stabilize the country, it is amazing.
