Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 146 Eight-Party Talks ([-])

With the fall of Cao Cao's hardcore Xiahou family, the fall of Xu Capital City is a matter of course.

Seeing the raging flames rising from Xiahou's mansion, the soldiers defending the city also lost their fighting spirit, put down their weapons and surrendered one after another, saving Yan Liang and Jiang Qi a lot of trouble.By dawn, the fighting in the city was almost over.

Fortunately, this was a night attack with a clear purpose, and there were people in the city who didn't know what to call the sect believers to help. Apart from the military facilities, the civilian houses did not suffer much damage, and the casualties of the people were very few. Xu Ducheng's journey to prepare for the war was much easier.

Yuan Ke hurried to Fengyuan Inn with Yan Liang and others, wanting to meet Wu Yueyin and others.Wu Yueyin also put on a military uniform, and her pretty face looked majestic. Seeing Yuan Ke coming, she hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Husband, it's great that you came back safely!" She looked at Yuan Ke with concern, "Are you injured?"

Yuan Ke smiled and shook his head: "Shouldn't I ask you this question?"

Wu Yueyin slipped into Yuan Ke's arms, and she wanted to tell him a lot, but she knew that Yuan Ke had more important things to do now, so she put thousands of words into one sentence: "The city is dangerous, you have to be careful. "

Yuan Ke kissed her lightly on the forehead and said, "Don't worry, the more you groan, you will get better."

Wu Yueyin nodded sensibly, and took the initiative to say: "By the way, Mr. Tian has something to go out. If your husband wants to see him, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while."

"Yes, third brother!" Yan Liang gently reminded, "You must be exhausted from driving hundreds of miles back and forth these days, so why don't you take a good sleep and leave the finishing touches to me, how about it?"

Yuan Ke patted Yan Liang's shoulder gratefully, and said, "With the help of my elder brother, why should I worry? I'll go to sleep for a while, and when Mr. Tian comes back, you must tell me right away!"

After saying these words, he returned to the bedroom with Wu Yueyin's support, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.

Maybe because too many things happened during this period, he didn't sleep well this time, instead he kept dreaming, dreaming about Wen Chou, Cao Cao, Tiger and Leopard Rider, ears and other weird things.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a soft calling sound in his ear, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tian Feng looking at him kindly.

"Mr. Tian!" Yuan Ke jumped up suddenly, "Xiahou Dun is dead, do you know that!"

"I heard from Yan Liang." Tian Feng seemed to be in a good mood, "There is no way for Xu Ducheng to survive without Xiahou's family."

"The next step is to prepare to defend against the city." Yuan Ke said solemnly, "The news of the fall of Xudu will soon reach the ears of Cao Jun around, and we will soon face their crazy counterattack."

"Such a big matter will also reach Yuan Gong's ears." Tian Feng said leisurely, "I believe that no matter what others do, at least General Wen Chou will definitely come to save us. But before that, there is one thing More urgent matters need to be decided by the young master."

"Is it what the gentleman went to do just now?" Yuan Ke asked.

Tian Feng nodded and said: "Just before the young master came back, I took people to visit the rich and powerful families in the city, hoping to win their support."

"Sir, you are really far-sighted!" Yuan Ke slapped his forehead, "There are so many things going on recently, I almost forgot about this, what do they say?"

"Based on Cao Cao's background, his relationship with the aristocratic family is not harmonious." Tian Feng said, "After my circle, most of the families have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Yuan family, but they are not the top of the aristocratic family. class, so its own power is very limited.”

Yuan Ke asked: "The top family, what is their attitude?"

Tian Feng replied: "The aristocratic families in Xudu are headed by the Xun family in Yingchuan and the Zhong family in Yingchuan. The locals are all high-ranking officials in the imperial court and have strong strength. They all let out the wind, hoping to discuss this matter with the Fourth Young Master face to face."

Yuan Ke sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Let's talk about it! Didn't my husband teach me, find a way to make them work for me, where can I meet?"

Tian Feng showed a look of embarrassment on his face: "They hope to have a talk with the Fourth Young Master in the Xun Mansion, but I'm worried that this will be a grand banquet!"

"Mr. Tian," Yuan Ke asked with a half-smile, "what if I don't talk to them, and send troops to catch all these people who don't understand the rules?"

"No!" Tian Feng exclaimed, "The relationship behind the aristocratic family is intricate. If you want to compete in the world, you'd better not push them to your opposite."

"That's it." Yuan Ke shrugged helplessly, "Since I can't afford to be offended, it's a Hongmen Banquet, and I have to go!"

Seeing that he was so calm, Tian Feng couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked worriedly: "Do you want General Yan to accompany you?"

"No need." Yuan Ke reassured him in turn, "It's not to fight, I just take two followers."

"Is this a bit exaggerated?" Tian Feng thought Yuan Ke didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, and explained, "I dare not say anything to others, but Xun Yu, the patriarch of the Xun family in Yingchuan, turned out to be Yuan Gong's accountant. It is impossible to say that such a person is not Cao Cao's best friend. Now that the place where the two parties meet is in the Xunfu, it is reasonable for Xun Yu to take advantage of the maneuver. Let me tell you, if you send General Yan with a thousand troops to help out, you will be safe.”

Yuan Ke originally didn't want to talk to Tian Feng in such detail, but under Tian Feng's constant persuasion, he still took the initiative to tell the truth: "Mr. Tian, ​​once a wealthy family enters the deep sea, I don't know how many dark sides there are in it. But if I lead the soldiers, because they are afraid, they will not tell the truth. Even if they agree to cooperate with us, I can't judge whether they are true or false. Only when I go alone and let them feel that they have an advantage, will they reveal their innermost feelings Only when I really think about it can I judge who is worth fighting for, and who is what we should beware of. As for my safety, please rest assured, sir, I know it well."

After that, he patted Tian Feng on the shoulder, called two black-clothed guards, asked them to change into white clothes, and set off for Xun Mansion.

The distance between Xun Mansion and Fengyuan Inn is not too far. Yuan Ke could see the smoke rising from the mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.

Half a year ago, he had also been here before, but he was mercilessly turned away; half a year later, today, he came to the gate of this bottomless house again. Encounter awaits him?
