Chapter 219 Appease the deceased King Hongnong... (for subscription)
Jizhou, Yecheng.

Ye, an important economic town in the Yellow River Basin, is well connected in all directions. It travels from north to south, and there are countless merchants. The Zhen family, one of the four famous merchants, is here.

It is also the economic, military, political and cultural center of the Yellow River Basin.

As for Yecheng, after several years of painstaking management by Yuan Shao, both the people's livelihood and the economy are thriving. It is even said that Yuan Shao is known as the strongest prince in the world because of the prosperity of the people in Jizhou.

On the eve of Guandu, Yuan Shaofang pacified Youzhou.

However, Bingzhou and Qingzhou have no help. They almost rely on the land of Jiyizhou to defeat Cao Cao, and there will be no so-called shortage of soldiers and food, which can be seen as rich.

Cao Cao captured Yecheng in later generations, and he was particularly moved.

Ye City, outside the Xu Mansion.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and Xu You dressed up and left the mansion. This was a routine general mansion meeting every three days, and Yuan Shao would handle various matters in accordance with this.

Just as Tipao was about to board the carriage, he saw a scribe running out from one side. The scribe was dressed brightly and looked like he was not an ordinary person, but the driver immediately pressed his sword and shouted: "Who is it, stop."

"I am Zhang Ji, a meritorious officer under Liu Bei's command, and I have been ordered to pay a visit to Mr. Xu You." Zhang Ji bowed, and took out Liu Bei's seal at the same time.

Xu You stepped on the wooden ladder with his gown on, and couldn't help pinching his goatee when he heard the sound. The corners of his eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said proudly: "Are you under Liu Bei's command?"

"Exactly, my master sent me here to discuss something important!" Zhang Ji said in a deep voice.

"Important matter? Heh, let's stay in the house and wait until I come back from discussing matters." Xu You looked at Zhang Ji from the corner of his eyes, Liu Bei and Xu You really didn't like him.

"Sir, my lord knows that Mr. Yuan is the humerus next to Mr. Yuan, and he is mostly relying on it. He is even more obedient to Mr.'s words. I specially sent you to pay a visit to Mr. Yuan first."

"I insist that this matter can only be accomplished if you help the village this time, and I hope you will wait a little longer!" Zhang said with firm words, and stepped forward again.

While speaking, he also took a brocade box from his arms and presented it up.

"Oh, that's it!" Xu You squeezed his beard, smiled proudly, and at the same time gave his subordinate a look. The latter put down his sword and stepped forward to take the brocade box.

Open it, and there is a jade horse in the brocade box.

The whole body of the jade horse is like suet, delicate in hand.The key point is that a jade horse of this size is superbly carved, which is rare in the world, and to carve such a lifelike jade horse, it is likely that more than a dozen pieces of jade will be wasted.

Xu You nodded in satisfaction. In the storage box, he has always been greedy for money. He looked up at the sky, waved his sleeves and said, "Come on, if you can do something, I will help you."

Then, Zhang both explained the cause and effect.

…………

In the general mansion,
In the first place, Yuan Shaozi was majestic and majestic, sitting upright in the high hall, quite majestic, holding his tuft of beard and glanced at everyone in the hall, he couldn't help saying in a voice like a bell: "Why don't you see Xu You?"

Everyone glanced left and right, Guo Tu smiled warmly, clasped his fists and came out, "My lord, the three-day routine discussion, Xu You knows that it will not arrive, and I'm afraid it's because of my personal relationship with the lord, thinking that the lord dare not punish him." .”

"Hmph, how courageous!" Yuan Shao was sullen, waved his hands and shouted: "Come on, tell Xu Ziyuan to come see me immediately."

Seeing the guard retreat, Guo Tu sneered.He has long disliked Xu You, and if Yuan Shao hadn't favored him everywhere, he would have let Xu You know the pain.

Just as the guards left, they heard Xu You's voice, and the voice was sprinting and excited, shouting excitedly: "My lord, my lord, I'm so happy!"

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You solemnly, his slightly pale brows twitched, and asked suspiciously, "Xu You, what is the happy event?"

"My lord, the opportunity to fight has arrived!" Xu Youlang smiled, and immediately glanced at everyone, stroked his beard and said proudly: "On the way to discuss matters, I happened to meet Liu Bei's envoy."

"Now Cao Cao has sent 30 troops to Tongguan to kill him. He wants to compete with Liu Bei. Liu Bei sent an envoy to ask for help, and he is willing to form an alliance with the Lord to attack Cao Cao."

Speaking of this, Xu You chuckled, more proudly, clasped his fists together, and said sonorously: "My lord, the time has come, Xuchang must be empty now, just send a general to lead the army, and take Xuchang directly."

"Only in this way can we win a battle. At that time, you will be the one who obeys the emperor's orders and refuses to submit!" After finishing speaking, Xu You raised his eyebrows and smiled.

If he wins this time, Xu Ziyuan's name will be famous all over the world.And this time it will win.

Yuan Shao let out a light sigh, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but his character was cunning but unrestrained, and for a moment he looked at the rest of the civil servants.

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Xu You frowned and said: "My lord, send troops quickly, such an opportunity is fleeting, and I will regret it later!"

At this time, Guo Tu laughed lightly, strode out, and sneered disdainfully: "My lord, Cao Cao is a traitor, how could he make Xuchang, his headquarters, empty?"

"This is just Liu Bei's trick. His self-reliance and Guanzhong are not stable now. Fang wants to use the hand of the Lord to hold Cao Cao for him, so that he will be safe."

Listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Shao nodded.

Speaking of this, Guo Tu looked at Xu You coldly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "My lord, there is still one thing I don't know. Then why did Liu Bei's envoy for help meet Xu You first?"

"I'm afraid some people, relying on the trust of the lord, used their power for personal gain and accepted the gift from the envoy of Liu Bei. Otherwise, why didn't the envoy of Liu Bei meet the lord directly?"

"You, you spurt blood..." Xu You trembled, it's really hateful that such a fighter plan should be called a conspiracy by such villains.

"Hmph, Xu You, you are so courageous!" Yuan Shao clapped his hands on the wooden case, his face not angry but majestic, quite solemn.

"My lord, don't believe what a villain like Guo Tu says. I only think about my lord, and there is absolutely no lie. As long as my lord sends troops to fight, I will surely win this battle!"

Xu You trembled and said with a broken heart.

"Oh, Xu You, if you still dare to persuade the lord to send troops, you are really greedy. My lord, I want to..."

"Okay, that's enough, shut up." Yuan Shao shouted angrily.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Shenpei, Simpi and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao sent troops to Tongguan, do you think I should send troops!"

Glancing at each other, Xun Chen came out and said, "My lord, a few days ago, the Yuzhou Sentinels did send back news that Liu Bei rebelled, and Cao Cao had already retreated from Nanyang. Chen thought that the possibility of begging Liu Bei in the west would be greater. It should be emptiness, Kovar."

"My lord, I think it is different from what Xun Changshi said. Xuchang is the foundation of Cao Cao, and he will definitely guard against it. When Lu Bu entered Yanzhou due to civil strife, he failed to occupy Yanzhou, let alone Xuchang, which has developed for several years now. "

"What's more, the battle of Yijing is the most important thing now. My lord should gather the strength of the three armies to completely crush Gongsun Zan, a fierce tiger. If he is carelessly ordered to return to the mountains because of the deployment of soldiers and horses, it will be a disaster. ah."

The trial match is also striding forward, dissuading.

He belonged to the Jizhou faction, so naturally he didn't want Yuan Shao to go south, because the sooner Yuan Shao went south, the less good it would be for them. After all, Yuzhou in the Central Plains was where Yuan Shao's family was born.

"My lord, Gongsun Zan is just a dead bone in a tomb, and he will perish sooner or later. My lord's current enemy is Cao Cao in the Central Plains. I said before the review that my lord and Cao Cao must have a battle."

"But now that Xuchang is empty, my lord can take advantage of the vacancy and seize Xuchang. This is the blessing of the people of Jizhou, and the blessing of the generals of Jizhou." Xin Ping also opened his mouth.

"Heh, Cao Cao was just an eunuch, and he took advantage of the momentum of the lord to occupy the Central Plains. How can he compete with the lord for the world? Xin Ping is nothing but alarmist talk."

"My lord, you are the son of the Yuan family. Even if you want to fight Cao Cao, you will win with dignity. How can you do such a sneak attack?"

"What's more, with the lord Wei Rong, Cao Cao can be determined at a snap, so why worry so much?" The examiner spoke again, his voice sonorous and forceful.

Hearing that everyone was arguing again, Yuan Shao's head grew dizzy, and he was a little sad. For a while, he didn't know who to listen to, after all, what they said was quite reasonable.

If Zhang Xiu was here, he would have died laughing.

Exactly what Xun Yu said, the trial and appointment is professional but not strategic, but at this time he is plausible. The key point is that Yuan Shao is cunning and indecisive, likes to inquire but can't choose what to say, this is mediocrity.

Ju Shou pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Liu Bei's rebellion against Guanzhong will surely hurt Cao Cao's vitality and morale. It is really the best strategy to attack Xuchang this time."

"If the lord is worried about the war in Yijing and that Xuchang will be difficult to pacify, you can send a general out of Qingzhou and attack Xuzhou. Xuzhou's people's livelihood is prosperous, and Yan and Henan are in ruins. Cao Cao's rear is cut off. When we fight in the future, we can also take the lead. .”

"My lord, have you forgotten the Black Mountain bandits? If Gongsun Zan is rescued by the Black Mountain bandits, he will return to Yanbei and call tens of thousands of cavalry to fight again. How will the Lord fight against him?"

"To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside. Jizhou is the foundation of our three armies. There is no room for loss. My lord, you must not lose the big because of small things." Shenpei said sadly.

"Okay, no need to say anything!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand angrily. This group of people couldn't unify their opinions every time. This made him make a decision. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. .”

"Promise!" Han Meng clasped his fists in response.

"Ziyuan, go report to Liu Bei's envoy and let him tell Liu Bei that I will send scouts to Xuchang to investigate. Once there is news, I will send troops to Xuchang." Yuan Shao said solemnly.

"Investigate?" Xu You froze for a moment, couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head, but he felt helpless in his heart, mediocre lord, this is really mediocre lord.

Putting such a fighter plane in front of him and ignoring it, the capture of Xuchang is indeed ten times and a hundred times stronger than that of Youbei Bitter Cold, I really don't understand what he thinks.

…………

A few days later,
Nanyang, Xinye City.

Under Zhang Xiu's command, except for those guarding the frontier, all the soldiers of the three armies withdrew to Xinye.Zhang Xiu sympathized with the three armies, and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to rest in Xinye.

Of course, he was more waiting for Cao Cao to get the gift.

This time he asked for a lot of good things, gold, silver and cloth, and countless women. These women Zhang Xiu was not for his own enjoyment, and this must be done...

He rewarded these women to those soldiers who dared to fight to the death. Although he didn't want to reward and trade women as goods, doing so was a gift to these women.

Most of them don't have a home, they don't know what to do, and they become real reproductive machines.It would be a luxury for them if they could enter Jingzhou household registration and start a small family, weaving cloth and weaving clothes.

And this morning, the sentinel reported early.

This time, he was an envoy of the Han Dynasty after all, out of etiquette Zhang Xiu led many civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

Looking from a distance, a team came.

The team is like a swimming dragon, stretching for more than [-] miles.But the leader of the team is now a chariot, and looking from a distance, there is a woman on that chariot.

The woman's face was cold, neither happy nor sad.

She was dressed in a red dress, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of fear, as if she was about to face a dark area.

Zhang Xiu put down the binoculars, raising his eyebrows, he was familiar with it, but he couldn't remember it for a while and said: "Wen He, who is this? Why did Cao Cao send a woman to replace the big man? Could it be that no one under his command called?"

Jia Xu also saw Tang Ji, and stroked his beard and said, "My lord, if Xu remembers this girl well, she should be Princess Hongnong Tang Ji. In the early years, Xu asked for an order to send her to the Emperor's Palace to protect her."

"Concubine Hongnong Tang Ji?" Zhang Xiu looked surprised, she had a little impression of this girl, but because Liu Bian died early, she didn't know about it.

"Cao Cao sent her as an envoy to invite peace?" Zhang Xiu said suspiciously. After all, this woman can represent the big man and has more weight than any envoy.

As the frame approaches,

Under the canopy, on the chariot.

Tang Ji's eyes trembled a little, and even when she saw Zhang Xiu not far away, she was a little panicked and uneasy, because Cao Cao's letter explained that she needed to sacrifice herself to win trust.

So it was used by Cao Cao.

Only in this way, Cao Cao will not kill her father, will not touch Fushou, and her family.Only after Liu Bian's death, his closest relatives are only his father and Fushou.

Less than ten steps apart,
Tang Ji's frosty cheek showed a trace of surprise, she had seen Zhang Xiu before, but at this moment she looked at Zhang Xiu but couldn't tell that something was wrong.

After receiving the emperor's decree, Tang Ji read out the content of the decree in a crisp and slightly sweet voice, until she finished reading the decree and granted Zhang Xiu the title of General Hussar and Marquis of Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiu looked up and glanced at the princess.

That red dress perfectly outlined her glamorousness, as for that festive belt, it perfectly outlined Tang Ji's slender waist and straight legs...

Zhang Xiu was stunned, this Tang Ji looks good, she is indeed the one who can become a princess, if Liu Bian's accident didn't happen, she would be the queen of the dynasty, she is very beautiful.

And her coldness is different from Cai's before.

Cai's is cold, like a poisonous snake.But Tang Ji was melancholy and cold, as if she had thoughts.

However, at this time.

The long-lost voice of the system actually sounded in Zhang Xiu's mind.

"Cough cough," Zhang Xiu coughed lightly. This is a system that is not serious. He likes to do these fancy things every day.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu stepped forward to receive the order.

The palm slid across Tang Ji's delicate and white jade hand, which was quite soft, but the latter trembled delicately, feeling inexplicably terrified, but managed to calm down.
