Strange Biography of Three Kingdoms

Yuan Xi frowned and said? "How is this going?"

Guo Jiadao: "Before the two sons fought, they both wanted Cui Yan to join. But Cui Yan didn't want to see the two of them. When the third son was a general, Cui Yan was imprisoned. Later, the eldest son became a general. I tried to persuade him, but Cui Yan has naturally been imprisoned until now."

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, let him out first. Did the military master know about this?"

Seeing Guo Jia nodding, Yuan Xi said angrily: "Such a great talent, why didn't Feng Xiao speak up earlier? Let him suffer in prison for nothing."

Guo Jia was both happy and aggrieved. I thought to myself, how dare I intervene in the relationship between the three brothers. Didn't I just want to use the opportunity of lobbying this time to get you to use him again?

"Where is he locked up now?"

"In the prison in the west of the city." Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "If my lord wants to send him there, it's best to go and release him in person, with a little sincerity."

Yuan Xi clapped his hands and said: "It should be so, let's go, let's go and see him."

Guo Jia followed behind him: "My lord, you can't keep shutting him down just because he doesn't want to be used by you."

"Don't worry about this. It doesn't matter whether he joins us or not. The most important thing for me this time is to release him and then recruit him. But if he doesn't join us, he won't be able to leave us for the time being." state."

Guo Jia nodded, letting go of the stone in his heart.It seems that Cui Yan is saved.

Everyone has a temper. Cui Yan has been arrested for so long, so he must have resentment towards the Yuan family. He was really afraid that Yuan Xi would not be able to bear it.

The two left the Prefect's Mansion and walked across the main street towards the West District.

There were people everywhere on the road, injured, uninjured, beggars, poor and homeless, and countless others. Apart from sending people to manage order and giving them food, Yuan Xi did not evacuate these people for a while.

Walking on the road, looking at the numb expressions in these people's eyes, Yuan Xi didn't know what to think. The battle with Cao Cao was the worst he had ever experienced, and it caused his Youzhou to experience a heavy blow. County, it is estimated that the number of people who fled cannot be counted. Although they did not escape to other places, the closed gates of the houses around them, and the yards where refugees walked around from time to time, looking for something to eat, are somewhat shocking. .

Yuan Xi quickened his pace, and the two arrived at the prison in the west of the city not long after.

"My lord, this way." Guo Jia led the way.

Yuan Xi followed step by step, and the two arrived outside a prison. Yuan Xi suddenly remembered the scene of the only time he was in prison, and he felt a little cordial.

"Ji Gui, my lord is here to see you." Guo Jia quickly walked outside a cell and called towards the inside.

Yuan Xi glanced suspiciously, it seemed that Guo Jia and Cui Yan had known each other for a long time.

He walked over calmly, glanced inside, and gave a secret praise in his heart.

Chapter 586

I saw the man in the cell, although he was in the prison, but his body was dignified and his appearance was dignified.Yuan Xi thought in his heart that since he was imprisoned by Yuan Shang and his elder brother for so long, he should have been covered in filth, and he would treat him nicely and leave a good impression on others.In the end, he never expected that the clothes he wore were no different from his own. He even suspected that this guy could have a change of clothes every day.

In memory, Cui Yan was a handsome man, but looking at it now, he is indeed beautiful enough, much more pleasing to the eye than Yuan Shang's flamboyant buns.

I looked at him twice, and saw that he retracted his gaze, as if he didn't intend to pay attention.Yuan Xi didn't care, and ordered the cell boss: "Open the door and let him out."

Cui Yan snorted, "If Yuan Zhoumu wants me to serve you, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

Yuan Xi could understand him, if he were like himself, he would not think about being loyal to others.Not to mention Cui Yan.

"Hehe, I came here this time to let you out. If you are willing to be loyal to me, I will definitely use you again, but now our Youzhou is being attacked by Cao Cao and may break the city at any time. If you don't want to be loyal, I won't blame you It’s just that your freedom will be restricted. You can go to Youzhou as you please, but outside of Youzhou, unless Cao Cao wipes out my Yuan family completely. Otherwise, I will let you out, and that will cause trouble for myself.”

After taking a deep look at Cui Yan, Yuan Xi turned his head and left.

Looking at Yuan Xi's back, Guo Jia's eyes revealed a hint of admiration, and he withdrew his gaze, Guo Jia hurried in to help him out, covered his nose and said: "Your clothes smell like this, and you can keep them so clean, I also admire you .”

Cui Yan blushed, glared at him, ignored his words, and asked, "Why did he think of coming to me?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "What other reason is there? I asked the lord to send you to persuade Liu Biao to send troops to threaten Cao Cao, and then your reputation is too great, so the lord came here."

Cui Yan frowned.

Guo Jia sighed: "Recently, Cao Cao has launched a crazy attack. He has been attacking for half a month because of his large number of troops. If this continues, Youzhou will really be in danger."

Cui Yan snorted coldly: "Isn't this the time to test his ability? To me, the Yuan family is just a bunch of idiots, all dressed in gaudy clothes, they are more beautiful than beautiful. Pooh!, I have no self-knowledge, I am so stupid, I don't want to think about it. To deal with Cao Cao together, but only thinking of fighting for power and profit, defeat has its own reasons."

Guo Jia was startled, and there was no one around, "You don't want to die, if people listen to it, you will be finished."

Cui Yan glanced at him with a smile, "Why don't you keep bragging to me about him? If he really listens, I want to see if he really wants to kill me."

Guo Jia sighed and said: "Your temper is too stinky. The king's affairs are always relative. How can there be a truly kind person who can hold great power. Could it be that you want to be loyal to Song Xianggong?"

Cui Yan was startled, then laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Where do you live? Take me to take a shower and change clothes, these clothes are really sour, sour."

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile, and the two held hands and walked outside together.

Only one day later, Cui Yan and others were sent out to ask Liu Biao, Ma Teng and others for support.

Yuan Xi didn't know how Cui Yan agreed to meet Liu Biao, but he boldly let him go, not worried that he would take the opportunity to run away.

But Youzhou was besieged, and the few people who went to lobby could only go through Bingzhou. Fortunately, at this time, Cao Cao had no intention of attacking Bingzhou, but this made Yuan Xi start to feel a little worried. If Cao Cao attacked Bingzhou first , is not good news for him.

Although in memory, cousin Gao Gan was also a good defender of the city, but in the end he was conquered.

But at this time, there is no way to do it for a while, and we can only hope that Gao Gan and Cao Cao will not act rashly.

Detour to Bingzhou, for Youzhou, is to wait for a long time, during this period, there is only desperate defense.

Cao Jun's strong attack was too exhausting for Youzhou. After another half month, Yuan Xidu had to go up the city wall to boost morale.

In the face of endless storms, no matter how high the morale is, it will fall to the bottom.Yuan Xi went up the city wall a few times and was persuaded to go down, but occasionally he would go a few more times. Faced with such a situation, all the generals turned a blind eye to it, because the situation was really not optimistic.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Dai County and Liaoxi County is much better, especially after sending [-] soldiers to both sides. Although these soldiers can only defend the city, that is enough.

On this day, Yuan Xi took advantage of the time when Cao Jun was burying pots and cooking, and led his generals to patrol the city.

During the month-long battle, Gao Lan and Hao Zhao worked hard the hardest. Although Hao Zhao was good at defending the city, his martial arts were average.During the period, he was shot by Liu Ya, but fortunately he didn't hit a dangerous place, and the arrow wound was easily treated. Hao Zhao continued to defend the city. In a month, he never missed a single attack of Cao's army.

This undoubtedly made Yuan Xi trust him even more.As for Gao Lan, he simply took charge of the city, eating and sleeping with all the soldiers, and it was with the concerted efforts of the generals in Youzhou that he was able to resist the crazy attacks of Cao Jun's high morale again and again.

Everyone was also eating simply, while Yuan Xi and the others had already eaten.Looking at the soldiers and generals who were lying or sleeping, leaning or standing, or burying their heads in hard work at the top of the wall, Yuan Xi was so blocked that he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing him coming, everyone looked at him silently, still doing what they had to do, their eyes were as calm as water, which was different from when he just came over, and now only one or two captains and generals greeted him occasionally .

The rest are silent.

Yuan Xi didn't cheer up everyone's morale like he did when he first came here, but just walked silently on the top of the city, walking all the way.

Whenever there is no war, it is the most dull moment in the city.

After all, defending the city is defending the city, not attacking. Looking from the top of the city, Cao Jun, who is still densely packed in the distance, is really breathless.

Even defending the city means that the other party has the upper hand, and the city may be in danger of being breached at any time.Yuan Xi knew that everyone was defending the city with a sigh of relief, not for the Yuan family, but for a better life and the parents, wives and children behind them.

Yuan Xi stopped in his tracks, and all the generals behind him also stopped silently.
