Gao Yue, Princess Wannian, and Zhen Mi got off the carriage, and all the courtiers saluted. Because of her status as a royal princess. In the hearts of all the officials, Liu Yan was the mistress, which also determined Liu Yan's status in Yuan Xi's family.
After letting Liu Yan and Zhen Mi settle down, Yuan Xi immediately summoned his subordinates in Linzi City. Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Gu Yong, Guo Yuan, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Wang Xiu, Liu Ye, all civil servants who are good at military affairs and government affairs have been prepared.
In terms of military generals, Zhang He and Xu Huang are the same commanding generals as Li Mu and Zhou Yafu. Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici are cavalry generals and their martial arts are outstanding. Guo Huai and Hao Zhao are the deputy generals of Zhang He and Xu Huang. Destined to succeed them, plus the remaining generals Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang, there are many generals who can charge into battle or guard one side.
Looking at these capitals competing for world hegemony, Yuan Xi was so proud. His subordinates are definitely better than Yuan Shao. Compared with Cao Cao, he didn't give in too much.
"Major General, at the end of last year you sent an order to increase the planting of winter wheat in Qingzhou. We have organized all available manpower to remove the agricultural land reserved for spring planting. It can be said that there is no wasteland in Qingzhou." Guoyuan said.
Yuan Xi nodded. It was a secret to send troops to attack Cao Cao in the early Xia Dynasty. Although the top officials in Jizhou had already started working on it, it was still a secret to the middle and lower-level officials and generals.
When he was in Jizhou, Yuan Xi naturally couldn't and sent a letter to his subordinates in Qingzhou. However, it is not difficult to guess based on the talents of Guo Jia, Zhong Yao and others.
"It's just that there is more farmland for growing winter wheat, and there is less land for spring planting. The harvest of winter planting cannot be compared with the harvest of spring planting. Please tell me, Major General, why do you do this? I would like to follow my advice. The villagers have an explanation." Guoyuan said that he was responsible for farming and farming. For this reason, he endured a lot of pressure from below.
Yuan Xi thinks they are all his own staff. So he said: "Father has given the order to send troops to attack Cao Cao this summer!"
Guo Jia, Liu Ye and Zhong Yao looked calm. I have already guessed it. Others were either surprised or deep in thought, not knowing how to react.
Guoyuan frowned and said: "Last year was a severe drought. Although planting winter wheat can alleviate the food crisis in early summer, the harvest in autumn is not much. If the war drags on, it will be difficult to end."
Wang Xiu and Chen Qun both had frowning expressions on their faces. Liu Ye was reluctant to speak. He also wanted to talk about the disadvantages of sending troops to conquer Cao Cao at this time, but when he first arrived, it was difficult to say anything in front of Yuan Xi's direct lineage.
Seeing that everyone did not blindly support sending troops, Tian Feng nodded secretly in his heart, but still said: "This matter has been settled after discussion between Mr. Yuan and many adults. What I, Qingzhou, have to do is how to cooperate with sending troops and do our best to win. "
"All major battles in the past and present have always been settled in the temple before the battle. I wonder what the outcome of this temple settlement will be, Mr. Yuan and the Lords of Jizhou?" Liu Ye still asked seriously.
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "It is true that our army is short of food, but Cao Cao may not have enough food. This time the troops will be more concentrated, and they will go to Puyang first and then take Chenliu, which will definitely force Cao Cao to come out for a decisive battle. Then with the strength of our army The army defeated Cao Cao in one fell swoop."
"There is insufficient food and grass. Even if we win the decisive battle, we cannot take advantage of the victory and pursue it. We may not be able to capture Yanzhou until next year." Guo Jia said.
"This battle aims to annihilate the main force of Cao Cao's army and greatly weaken his strength. My father did not want to capture Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Cao Cao is also hindered by Xuzhou. We have Liu Bei to take advantage of, and our army still has a good chance of winning." Yuan Xi said. He didn't have much confidence in sending troops hastily, but he still wanted to boost morale.
"But I don't know how many soldiers and horses Mr. Yuan will send, and how long the food and grass can be supplied?" Zhong Yao asked the key point.
Yuan Xi replied: "The Duke and Sir have calculated that the collected grain and grass can supply an army of 100,000 people. When autumn comes, another batch of grain can be collected, so there is no need to worry about running out of food."
The scribes calculated their own expenses, while the generals heard that the supply of food and grass was sufficient. Don't worry.
Guo Jia asked again: "Did Duke Yuan decide to use all the troops in Jizhou, or should he recruit troops from all four states?"
"This time my father decided to raise troops from the four states, but the main ones are Ji, Qing, and Youzhou." Yuan Xi replied, "Among them, Jizhou has many bows and crossbows, and Youzhou has many elite cavalry. My father even gave a special commendation. Our Qingzhou soldiers will be brave."
Hao Zhao grinned: "Well, we Qingzhou people don't say anything else, but our troops and horses are very brave. I wonder how many troops Mr. Yuan wants us to send?"
"Youzhou sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, Qingzhou sent 30,000 soldiers and horses. Jizhou sent 60,000 soldiers and horses." Yuan Xi said, "There are many barbarian cavalry in Youzhou and Jizhou. Among the 70,000 soldiers, there are 10,000 cavalry."
Duan Pixi curled his lips and said: "Our cavalry is not bad either!"
Yuan Xi smiled, and Tian Feng said: "We from Qingzhou will send 30,000 troops. The number is not large, but we must select capable soldiers. At that time, we may have to raid the enemy's rear. So the cavalry must attack in full force."
The generals below were all gearing up, looking forward to the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in battle. Only a few counselors looked at each other worriedly.
Qingzhou, Linzi, Cai Yanchu
Since he went to Jizhou, he hadn't seen Cai Yan for a long time, so Yuan Xi came to Cai Yan's residence. A moment later, Yuan Xi appeared in front of Cai Yan's courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Coming, coming, it's so late, who is it?"
The maid quickly ran to open the door, and when she poked her head in, she found that it was the master. She understood that the master had come unexpectedly at such a late hour, and whispered: "The young lady is taking a bath in the room. Do you want me to go and inform you?"
Hearing that Cai Yan was taking a bath, Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat and waved his hand to the maid to retreat, "You can do as you please. Don't come out without my call."
"My slave, I accept your order." The maid nodded and stepped back knowingly.
Yuan Xi originally planned to provide Cai Yan with two maids, but Cai Yan felt that she was still an outsider before marrying Yuan Xi and refused to accept it. In the end, after a compromise, she only arranged for one maid to serve her daily life. Therefore, after the maid retreated, except for Cai Yan who was taking a bath in the room, only Yuan Xi was left in the courtyard.
When Yuan Xi came here, he just wanted to give jewelry to Cai Yan and establish a relationship. But when I heard the maid say that Cai Yan was taking a bath, my heart couldn't help but feel itchy. It had been a long time since I had seen Cai Yan. The charm of this talented girl made me want to stop. Even if I didn't do anything to her, it would be nice to enjoy the beauty taking a bath. Yes.
At that moment, he carried the jewelry and tiptoed close to Cai Yan's wing. He could only hear the sound of water rushing, accompanied by the woman's miserable singing, floating in the room.
What he sang was one of the pieces of "Eighteen Beats of Hujia" written by Yuan Xi before he left Qingzhou. It seemed that Cai Yan was unaware of his arrival, so Yuan Xi rested against the window and peeked in through the gap.
In a wooden basin, I saw a snow-white body playing in the water. Its skin was like gelatin and crystal clear as white snow. A pair of breasts were not big or small, but their appearance was good-looking and really attractive. favorite.
She has a slender waist, fat hips and large breasts. She is very comfortable to hold. Although she is not as good as Diao Xiuer and Zhen Mi, in this era, she is still considered to be a top-notch jade body. The clouds and rain in Wushan must taste good.
Yuan Xi lay on the window and looked at it for a while, feeling itchy in his heart. But I thought that since I was the governor, how could I do such a shameful thing?
I didn't want the overlord to force herself, nor did I want to leave quietly. I had an idea and came up with the idea that even if I couldn't kiss Fangze, I still wanted to play with her and tease her.
She retreated quietly to the middle of the yard, strode deliberately towards the door, and shouted as she left: "Zhaoji, Zhaoji, are you asleep? I'll give you something."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened the door, and Cai Yan's jade body was clearly visible, and it was more clearly displayed in front of his eyes.
The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, with thirty-six soldiers on duty inside. There are patrol guards outside the mansion every hour, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.
Men were strictly prohibited from entering the backyard, so Cai Yan did not lock the door when he took a bath. He just ordered the maid to bolt the courtyard door. He never expected that Yuan Xi would break in while he was taking a bath.
"ah……"
Cai Yan was caught off guard and stood up subconsciously. Every part of his body was clearly visible to Yuan Xi.
After being confused for a while, he realized that he should squat down instead of standing up. He hurriedly squatted down again, clasped his hands in front of his chest, covered his breasts, and said angrily: "This girl Xiaomei is really disgusting. He let people in without giving any notice." But seeing that it was Yuan Xi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, Cai Yan's heart belongs to Yuan Xi. In the end, it's just a matter of procedure and time. The two of them have a tacit understanding. Yuan Xi doesn't attack her overlord, which is considered a gentleman's behavior. It's not good to have a full meal at this moment. Eyes, how can you control yourself? So not only did he have no intention of quitting, but he went to sit on the chair next to the tub.
"Zhaoji, I didn't expect you to be taking a shower. It was really abrupt," Yuan Xi said without a trace of guilt on his face, "However, I don't think the maid is to blame for this. The door was ajar when I opened it. She must have gone I went to the toilet." Yuan Xi defended his maid while staring at Cai Yan's breasts and admiring them.
Cai Yanming knew that Yuan Xi was lying, but he had nothing to do because they were enemies after all. The little girl had just added some water for herself, why did she go to the toilet in the blink of an eye? Besides, there is a women's restroom in the yard. Is it possible that she has to go to the men's restroom outside? No one believes that this was not intentional by Yuan Xi.
"Master, can you step aside and let me change my clothes before we talk?" Cai Yan turned around, leaving Yuan Xi with a smooth slit on his back, and said a little shyly.
However, Yuan Xi said rather roguely: "I'll take care of myself now that I've come. Anyway, my wife's body has been seen by me. What's the difference between taking a look and looking at her all night? You can take your bath, but I won't look at her." But. Yuan Xi had no intention of turning around.
Cai Yan couldn't help but be speechless.
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat. It has been more than a year since I came to Qingzhou, and Mr. Yuan has been extremely kind to me. Maybe it was God's will that he caught me in the shower today. She is not a virgin either, she has already been fucked by Yuan Xi. If he wants to see her, he can just let him go. What can he do if he is a weak woman?
Thinking of this, Cai Yan no longer kept secret about his surname. He came and took a bath and asked: "Since the young master said so, I dare not disobey my order. You can just watch if you want. I just don't know that the young master is visiting me late at night. Why are you here?"
Yuan Xi originally thought that Cai Yan would react fiercely, but she didn't expect her to be so open-minded. She couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that there was a chance for a good show tonight.
Time is like a butcher's knife, and no matter how chaste a martyr, she can't withstand the torment of sleeping alone, not to mention that Cai Yan is far from being a chaste martyr. Her previous indifference to him may have been just to pretend to be aloof.
Perhaps, after being a widow for several years, Cai Yan's love for love has sprouted, and it does look like this. What's more, Cai Yan had already performed the courtesy of Duke Zhou with Yuan Xi before, and they became familiar with each other once.
"I went to Yecheng this time and received a batch of gifts, including a lot of gold and silver jewelry. I divided them among the ladies, and there were a few pieces left, so I sent them to you, Zhaoji."
Yuan Xi opened the package, revealing the sparkling jewelry inside, and said with a smile.
Cai Yan lowered his head and said sadly: "I am just an outsider. Thanks to the care of the young master, I live and eat here all day long. I am already uneasy. Why dare you accept the young master's gifts again? You should take them back and give them to the ladies." Humph, others picked out the leftovers and gave them to me. Are you Yuan Xi a pig head? Cai Yan thought bitterly.
"Haha... I can talk about poetry and poetry with you, and we can talk about it. You have no owner, otherwise I will take you as my concubine. Anyway, you promised me last year." Yuan Xi said without knowing it. He said with a smile, his eyes greedily scanning Cai Yan's body, as if he wished he could rectify the law on the spot.
After hearing this, Cai Yan's heart beat loudly and he lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your love, sir, but I am already a widow. I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes anymore. Please give up this thought, sir."
Yuan Xi observed carefully and felt that this was just Cai Yan's excuse. In fact, in her heart, she wanted to be her concubine. She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you are talented, I won't care about this matter." "Yes." Alas, talented women are too roundabout.
Cai Yan bit her lip and looked embarrassed: "I really don't dare to obey my order."
Seeing Cai Yan's reserve, Yuan Xi decided to plagiarize a poem to show off his talent and stir up Cai Yan's heart.
After thinking hard for a moment, he remembered Tao Yuanming's poems and said in a pretentious manner: "I wrote a poem a few days ago. I dare to give Zhaoji some advice."
After saying this, he began to recite: "The house is in a human environment, without the noise of carriages and horses. I ask you how you can do it, but my mind is far away. I am picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, and I can see Nanshan leisurely. There is a meaning in it, and I want to argue. The secret history of officialdom has been forgotten."
"Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains?"
It has to be said that Cai Yan is indeed a woman who loves poetry. After listening to Yuan Mai's words, she couldn't help but be stunned and repeated a few sentences, so that she completely lost her shyness and praised in ecstasy: "Good poetry, good poetry. "I forgot to wrap my clothes for a moment.
Seeing Cai Yan's body so close, Yuan Xi's blood boiled and he couldn't control it anymore. He smiled evilly and said: "Good poem? Good poem? Really good poem? Let me try how many poems there are."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cai Yan to say anything, he held her legs with one hand and wrapped an arm around her neck. He took her out of the bathtub and threw her on the bed.
Ever since entering the Yuan Mansion, Cai Yan had known that such a day would come. In the past, I still knew how to pretend to be reserved. After this year of being alone in the empty house, and after being picked by Yuan Xi last year, I have become eager. I bit my lip and pretended to be angry: "Master, please respect yourself and let Sister Yue'er If you know, you will be angry with me, my concubine."
"Wugu asked me to give you the jewelry. Why are you angry? We'll talk about it later." Yuan Xi didn't want to go through too much trouble.
Yuan Xi murmured, and pressed Cai Yan under him. The smooth skin fell into his arms, and the two of them were in love. After Cai Yan made excuses for a few times, he stopped struggling and threw himself into the man's arms, feeling the impact of power. The sound of lust was heard endlessly. It didn't take long for Cai Yan to wrap around Yuan as tightly as a water snake. Hey, he began to sing softly...
Cai Yan's hard-to-get attitude really made Yuan Xi's heart itch, and he felt more comfortable after the love affair.
After a cloud and rain in Wushan, the two fell asleep with their backs crossed.
Yuan Xi promised: "Zhaoji, you are already my woman. How about I choose a good and auspicious day to take you as my concubine?"
Cai Yan shook his head and said: "What the young master did today was out of nature rather than emotion. I don't want to force the young master. I will take the concubine in a few days. After the young master has thought about it carefully, he will really be able to accept the mutilation of my body." It’s not too late to mention this matter again when I’m out of state.”
Since Cai Yan was reserved, Yuan Xi didn't say much. Cai Yan just didn't want Yuan Xi to get her too easily. It just took a little more process. Anyway, she was in his house, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He wanted to come when he wanted. Just come, go wherever you want, whether you have status or not, what difference does it make to you?
