Three days later, Jiujiang soldiers and civilians finally passed through Daxian Mountain and arrived at Beihai Kingdom.
Yuan Shu, the former overlord, had complicated thoughts. Only he knew the desolation of seeking refuge with his nephew whom he had not seen for a long time and was not very familiar with. Moreover, Yuan Shu knew that when he arrived at Yuan Xi's territory, he would be a grasshopper in Yuan Xi's hands. If Yuan Xi wanted to gain a good reputation, he might treat him very favorably, but it was no longer possible for him to regain control of power.
With a frustrated mood, Yuan Shu found Guo Tu and two counselors. He wondered if he could do something behind the scenes.
"Marquis Yangzhai, there is news that our general has come to Qingzhou to greet you." Guo Tu said politely.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work." Yuan Shu was still depressed and sick.
"When the time comes, Marquis Yangzhai will settle down in Jizhou with peace of mind. It is far more lively than Yangzhou, and is similar to Luoyang Chang'an in the past." Guo Tu said with a smile.
"This couldn't be better. It's just that I ask you, sir, to give them a good way out for my soldiers and generals," Yuan Shu said.
"Of course, Marquis Yangzhai, please rest assured that the general will definitely settle them. Beihai used to be plagued by Huang Chaos, and now there are still some unclaimed open spaces. It is enough to accommodate those people." Guo Tuke did not dare to make any arrangements on his own. I have no right to make arrangements, so I can only say vaguely.
"It's mainly the generals under me. They have been through life and death with me for many years. It feels like a waste to let them return to the countryside like this." Yuan Shu pretended to sigh.
Guo Tu squinted his eyes and immediately understood Yuan Shu's intention. He just wanted to install cronies in the Jizhou army.
In this way, not only will his own worth increase a lot, but if something happens in the future, he may be able to summon his old team.
"Well, Jizhou has laid down a strategy to recuperate and recuperate. Therefore, it has also laid off some generals. It would be very difficult to place such generals." Guo Tu looked embarrassed, and then whispered: "Especially the generals are very I only believe in the old Qingzhou Army, and generals from other places are not reused at all. This is true for the generals in the Jizhou Army, let alone your subordinates, Marquis Yangdi."
"I just want to give them a certain background because they have been following them for many years. Please help Mr. Gongze help." Yuan Shu said and handed over a delicate box made of sandalwood.
Guo Tu's eyes shone and he immediately declined: "Where is this, how can I accept the gift from you, Marquis Yangdi." He said that, but he did not push the box away.
"I just want to give Mr. Gongze a little favor. If you don't accept it, wouldn't you be looking down on my lord?" Yang Hong advised from the side.
Guo Tu looked very embarrassed. After some persuasion from Yang Hong, he reluctantly accepted it, but he was smiling in his heart. Guo Tu knew that Yuan Xi attached great importance to local development and repeatedly plundered the population during his campaigns, so he encouraged Yuan Shu to move people to Qingzhou to make up for the failure of his mission.
But only in this way Guo Tu can only offset his merits and demerits at best. If he wanted to improve his status, he would need more credit, so Guo Tu naturally took the opportunity to target Yuan Shu.
"Marquis Yangzhai, this Guo wants to help you handle this matter, but you also know. Now in Jizhou, the general has the final say. Everything needs his nod." Guo Tu said and explained: "As long as If the general is happy, then there will be no problem in placing those generals. You, then, need to do what they want and give you something to benefit from advancement." After speaking, Guo Tu also made a subtle hint.
Yuan Shu knew immediately what Guo Tu wanted to say. He quickly said: "I have already told my husband that the imperial seal is kept in a secret place in the Shouchun Mansion. Where can I get it now?"
"Marquis Yangzhai, the jade seal of the state is passed down to those who want to achieve great things. Do you want to do great things in Jizhou?" Guo Tu changed his gentle tone from before and said in a neither yin nor yang tone. This place is already Yuan Xijun's territory, and he is not afraid of this former powerful man who has lost power.
"Sir, don't believe it if you don't believe it, but I can swear on this." Yuan Shu said firmly. He was expelled from Shouchun by Cao Cao. He didn't have time to get it, otherwise he would have hung it around his neck.
"Really?" Guo Tuzhi shook his head, "That's going to be difficult." Guo Tu was also worried. If he couldn't get the imperial seal, he wouldn't be able to make a contribution.
"Mr. Gongze, does the general have any other hobbies? For example, treasures, ancient books, BMWs, beauties, etc." Yang Hong asked insinuatingly.
Guo Tu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The general doesn't like to cherish those mundane things. Ancient books
I'm afraid no one has collected more for Miss Cai than he does. Only Chitu can rival his Jueying of thousands of miles of BMW. And speaking of beauties, the general's wives are all extremely beautiful, and how could he be attracted to the ordinary vulgar girls. "
Yang Hong smiled and said with a bad smile, "Beauties come out of the Jianghuai water town. Wuyue has always been a land of beauties. Even those who came to Qingzhou with the army have many stunning beauties."
"Well, you can give it a try." Guo Tu thought. If he could pay tribute to a few beauties, it would be better than nothing. If Yuan Shangyi was happy, he would be secretly grateful to himself.
"Leave this matter to the two gentlemen. I'm not feeling well, so I won't get involved." Yuan Shu said with a depressed expression.
When he got out of the house, Guo Tucai asked: "What stunning beauty can you really offer to the general?!"
Yang Hong looked a little vulgar and said with a mean smile, "I also checked the household registration and found out that not only is she a stunning beauty, but she is also the person that the lord Yuan Shu intends to adopt, and I guarantee that the general will like her."
"Where is the beauty?" Guo Tu asked anxiously.
"Among the people who were moved there was a stunningly beautiful woman who was very famous in Lujiang. Everyone who met her said they were immortals descended from heaven. She is Feng Heng, the daughter of former Sili captain Feng Fang!" Yang Hong's face also revealed. The color of yearning.
"Oh! Will Marquis Yangyao agree to give away this beauty?" Guo Tu asked.
"Then there's no reason why he won't agree!" Yang Hong said with a gloomy smile. Sure enough, this is the nature of Yuan Shu's men.
A tree falls like a monkey, and the sun is scattered. If you have milk, you are a mother. They are just profit-seeking people. However, you can't blame them too harshly. After all, following a bastard like Yuan Shu can be regarded as surrendering to him if you don't know the master.
Outside Linzi City.
Yuan Xi rode on Jueying. He was accompanied by Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xu Chu and other entourage. Qingzhou governor Guoyuan, Anton general Xu Huang, minister Mi Zhu Chen Deng and others also followed Yuan Shu's chariot out of the city. .
Yuan Xi decided to come to Qingzhou only after receiving the news from the secret guards from Yangzhou. Firstly, he came to inspect the military affairs of Qingzhou, and secondly, he arranged for Yuan Shu and his people to be settled. At the same time, he also showed the world that the new head of the Yuan family was Handover and birth and legality.
"Haha, this Guo Tu will really give me problems." Yuan Xi seemed distressed.
"The addition of tens of thousands of people can be regarded as enriching the household registration in Qingzhou. It is the only result of this mission." Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Man is not as good as God. Unexpectedly, Xu You's side failed, and Guo Tu's side also failed." Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then asked, "The Guanzhong side has obtained the land east of the river and Hanoi. It is considered unfortunate. Great luck. But here at Guo Tu, I have to tell you how to arrange for such a god to be invited."
Yuan Xi not only thought of the fate of this clan uncle in history, but also on his way north to seek refuge with his nephew. He died of anger because he couldn't get sex, but this time he was able to withstand the blow.
Maybe it has something to do with the letter Yuan Xi sent a few years ago and the hypocrisy shown by Yuan Xi at Hulao Pass.
"If it's not available, don't neglect it." Guo Jia said calmly, which means he is under house arrest.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but smile, and then asked Sima Yi, "Zhongda, what do you think of the policy of filial piety?"
Hearing this, Sima Yi cautiously replied, "Sir's words are very good. Yi believes that they should be respected, respected, and kept in the air!"
Yuan Xi looked at Sima Yi and smiled without saying a word or denying it.
"I think Ji Ling under his command is a general, and Feng Xiao should try to take him over." Yuan Xi ordered. What he lacks now is generals with experience in water warfare. The Huai River area is densely covered with water networks, and it is impossible without a navy army. . It would be even worse if the generals did not know how to fight.
After all, the navy cannot be supported by Xu Sheng alone. It requires a team and organization to operate.
The two said that Yuan Shu's chariot had arrived outside the city, and everyone hurried to greet them. After all, Yuan Xi's welcome to Yuan Shu was considered a headline. Historically, it was said that Emperor Taizong Xuanwu came to Zi to treat Yuan Shu.
"Uncle, my nephew is polite." Yuan Xi stepped forward and said.
Yuan Xi lowered his attitude and treated him as a nephew.
"Alas, Lao Xianyi, you have troubled yourself, cough!" Yuan Shu got out of the carriage with the help of his servant.
Yuan Xi sighed in his heart. After so many years, he almost didn't recognize Yuan Shu. The sickly old clan uncle in front of him looked like a completely different person from the high-spirited and domineering Luoyang Empress General back then.
Next was a banquet to receive Yuan Shu and his men. It can be seen that they are all upset, but under the leadership of Guo Tu, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite harmonious.
Yuan Xi also paid special attention to Ji Ling and Yan Xiang. Although they didn't show much on the outside, he believed that they could be useful.
Because Yuan Shu was in poor health. Soon the feast was over. After arranging Yuan Shu and others, Yuan Xi immediately summoned Guo Jiajia, Sima Yi and Guo Tu to discuss matters.
Guo Tu saw Yuan Xi's indifferent expression. There are also deep eyes, which makes me feel even more unsure. Guo Tu organized the wording. The details of the general's mission to Yangzhou, including the battle situation with the Sun family army, were all explained.
After finishing speaking, Guo Tu said uneasily: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to fulfill the lord's great trust. I still ask the lord to punish me."
Yuan Xi sighed and said helplessly, "The Ma family has Li Ru who is planning the plan. It can be said that the Sun family has a good relationship. The Sun family and his son are familiar with the terrain and climate, and they can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place. It is really that the agencies are too smart, and in the end they can only sit back and watch them. It’s grown stronger.”
"The result is not too bad. At least Cao Cao lost Guanzhong, and the conflict between the Sun family and Liu Biao will intensify. After all, our biggest enemy is Cao Cao who is entrenched in the Central Plains." Guo Jia said.
Seeing that Yuan Xi was not angry, Guo Tu immediately took out a box and said carefully, "This is something given by Marquis Yangdi. I asked my subordinates to help place his generals. I dare not hide it."
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, this Yuan Shu was really unwilling to give up. No wonder, once in charge of great power, how could he be willing to let it go?
Yuan Xi sneered in his heart, Yuan Shu**'s little tricks can only be delusions. But as long as he is here, he is not afraid of causing trouble.
Yuan Xi pushed the box back and said comfortingly, "You can keep it for yourself. If he does anything else, report him immediately."
This is the way to serve as a minister. This is how Emperor Qianlong used Heshen. There must be a minister like this.
"Thank you for the reward, my lord." Guo Tu said respectfully. He had seen the power of those secret guards and shadow guards. If he secretly swallowed Yuan Shu's bribe, he would not dare to protect Yuan Xi from knowing about it.
Guo Tu rolled his eyes and said, "Marquis Yangzhai said that the jade seal should be left in Shouchun's secret place. I'm afraid it will take a while before the news calms down before sending someone to pick it up."
Yuan Xi hummed. In his opinion, the imperial seal was of little use unless he dethroned the emperor in the future and used it when he ascended the throne. Otherwise, it would only attract bad words.
The Yuan family, from Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, to Yuan Xi, there is no one who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. For three generations, they have always wanted to tear down the wall of the Han Dynasty and eventually replace it. If Cao Cao is on the road to stealing the country step by step, then The Yuan family had this idea from the beginning, and it was carried out by three generations.
"Lord, Yang Hong wants to see you." Xu Chu came in to report.
Guo Tu chuckled and said strangely, "I'm afraid they came to use a beauty trick on my lord. They didn't offer the national jade seal, so they chose beauties from the people who moved to Qingzhou to give to my lord."
Yuan Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He dared Yuan Shu and the others to regard him as Xia Jie and King Zhou of Shang, and resorted to such bad tricks as the beauty trap. But Yuan Xi knew that beauty traps had been tried many times throughout the ages, and he was curious about what Yang Hong could come up with.
"I pay my respects to the general." Yang Hong walked into the hall and said respectfully.
"Mr. Yang, there is no need to be polite, please sit down." Yuan Xi said calmly.
Yang Hong sat down and was polite for a while, then got down to the topic and said, "I have been entrusted by the Marquis of Yangzhai to discuss with the general the placement of the generals."
Yuan Xi smiled, opened the door and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will definitely make a satisfactory arrangement for you. But just let those soldiers go back to their hometowns to work in agriculture. I have too many soldiers here, but I don't have any extra military rations." them."
"But some sergeants are veterans who have followed the generals for many years. They are not only capable but also have many friendships. They are really buried in farming." Yang Hong said. In fact, he was afraid that if he was assigned to the Qingzhou Army, those generals would not have personal connections. , will be emptied of power.
Yuan Xi took a list of names handed over by Jia Xu and said: "Each of them can leave a hundred soldiers. Li Feng, Liang Gang, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, and Ledu will become captains and come under Ji Ling's command. Ji Ling Pay homage to the captain and lead his troops to garrison the Qingzhou Plain."
"So I thanked the general on their behalf." Yang Hong said, although it was not satisfactory, the arrangements for the generals who had just surrendered were not bad.
"correct
, General, the Marquis of Yangzhai said that I can't repay you for your shelter, so I chose a docile and good-natured woman to serve the general from the high-class family who moved from Lujiang. They stayed in the side hall and invited the general. Accept it. Yang Hong said with a flattering smile.
Yuan Xi knew what he meant by selecting, "I have no shortage of maids and concubines here. Sir, please return them to their homes."
Yang Hong thought that Yuan Xi disliked vulgarity, and regardless of the presence of Guo Jia and others, he quickly explained: "This girl represents our feelings, and the general will definitely accept her. Moreover, she is the beauty selected by Yangzhai, and she is very popular in Lujiang." She is famous and her beauty is comparable to that of Er Qiao."
Yuan Xi was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Compared to Er Qiao, are they already Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's fiancées?"
"Have the general heard of Erqiao from Lujiang in Hebei?" Yang Hong asked in surprise, and then regretted, "After Lujiang was captured, they were probably captured and sent to Sun Ce's camp, but among the beauties from Lujiang, there was one The beauty is Feng Heng. She is the daughter of Feng Fang, the captain of the Sili School, and Feng Heng is indeed no worse than Er Qiao."
According to historical records, Yuan Shu's wife, Feng Fangnu, was a beautiful woman in the country. She avoided the chaos in Yangzhou. When Shu visited the city, he was pleased with her and accepted her. She was very favored.
The ancestral Sili of the Feng family, whose real name was Feng Heng, and whose father Feng Fang was once an important minister of the imperial court. Unfortunately, in these troubled times, the ministers of the imperial court were no longer noble. They were played around by the princes who took turns in power. He died in Luoyang. In Xu Chu's hands.
After all, Yuan Xi was still Feng Heng's father-killing enemy, but of course Feng Heng didn't know that. So what if I knew?
In order to avoid the chaos, Feng Heng, who was 17 or 18 years old, took refuge in Yangzhou under the protection of his servants and maids. Passing by Shouchun City, Yuan Shu, who was just 10 years old, climbed to the top of the city for inspection. When he saw Feng Heng, who was beautiful and fragrant, he was immediately moved. Regardless of whether Feng agreed or not, he sent people to the city with the intention of forcibly taking her as his concubine.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Feng Heng was unwilling to marry Yuan Shu, who was half dead. But in these troubled times, where the strong is king, where can he be reasonable?
Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad life, especially in these troubled times. They are lucky if they don't fall into the world and have a pair of jade arms to be used as a pillow for thousands of people. How can the Feng family dare to contend with fate as a female streamer?
However, this time Yuan Shu was defeated by Sun Ce. In order to please Yuan Xi, he could only reluctantly give up his love and give this girl to please Yuan Xi.
"In this case, sir, please keep her." Yuan Xi said calmly, but his heart was turned upside down, history had been reversed beyond recognition, and he would actually make such a big joke.
Emperor Taizong Xuanwu and Yuan Xi were indeed beasts. Yuan Xi assassinated Cai Yan's husband. Cai Yong left his daughter alone before his death. Yuan Xi took care of his daughter in bed. Yuan Xi also indirectly killed Bu Lianshi's grandfather. He also raped his granddaughter. Accepted as a concubine, Feng Heng here is also the same. When Luoyang fought for military power and asked Xu Chu to kill his father, now he is about to be included in the harem.
Even Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie, the queen of Xian Emperor, and so on, none of them escaped the clutches of Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi. Killing other people's relatives and taking advantage of other people's family members is comparable to Demon King Zhu Wen, maybe even worse, hehe, the dirty Yuan family.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Xi said: "Sir, you and Yan Xiang can follow me back to Jizhou. The General's Mansion still has some staff."
"I would like to thank you, General, for your kindness." Yang Hong quickly thanked him. He was secretly glad that he had made the right move.
Looking at Yang Hong walking out of the hall, Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Although the general is a wise man, it is better to have less exposure to women. If you have read the classics and history, you must also know the behavior of Xia Jie, Fu Cha and others. Defeat." Although Yuan Xi was a talented man, Jia Xu was still worried that he was young and energetic and would indulge in women.
"Yes, yes!" Guo Jia echoed with a wicked smile, "Hua Tuo and the others are not talking about abstaining from drinking, sex, and controlling desires. My lord should be like me and be a Lu man with a pure heart and few desires."
Yuan Xi shook his head with a smile, but said softly: "It's a pity that Dongfeng doesn't have his way with Zhou Lang, and Tongquechun locks Erqiao deeply."
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, although you won once, there will be a real confrontation between us in the near future to see who is the hero of the younger generation! I'll go meet Jiangdong Erqiao.
Later, the beast Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Xi still had sex with Xiao Qiao, but because of this Xiao Qiao committed suicide in grief and anger. Yuan Xi wanted to taint Da Qiao again, but Jushu was afraid that Yuan Xi would be addicted to women, so he imitated the Taigong and killed Daji. Killed the beautiful Da Qiao.
