Chapter 668: Meeting Yuan Shu
Yuan Zhou's description finally made Liu Zheng understand what had happened.
However, some of these things have been resolved, and Liu Zheng doesn't need to pay attention to them, Liu Zheng just needs to inform them, such as the matter of selling grain to Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.
Some are still serious now, waiting for Liu Zheng to make a decision to solve it.
For example, the matter of the barbarians in Lingling County, Jiaozhou, and the rebellion of the Shanyue people in Yangzhou. Both of these matters are more urgent.
Of course, although it is urgent, but for a while, Liu Zheng has not yet grasped the specific news of these two things, but it is another matter, which is more urgent.
That is the Yuan Shu family who fled from Runan to Liu Zheng.
After Yuan Shu lost his territory, the whole person was a little lost and depressed, and without the territory, he lost his heart to fight for the world, and even the ambition in Yuan Shu's heart became vanished at this time.
Under the arrangement of his son, Yuan Shu took the family and left Runan, followed the Lujiang River, and then went to Wu County, where he was sheltered by Liu Zheng.
Although they settled down temporarily in Liu Zheng's territory, one of them was not received by Liu Zheng, so they were always a little uneasy, so after Liu Zheng came back, Yuan Yao sent a letter of worship, wanting to see Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng only came back for a day, and he was about to get busy again.
"Mr. Yuan Zhou, Yuan Shu, this old boy is always here, did he come by himself, or brought a group of members of the Yuan family in Runan."
Liu Zheng knew that Yuan Zhou was also from the Runan Yuan family, and according to his seniority, Yuan Zhou was still the elder of Yuan Shu.
However, the two have to count three generations up to be the same case, this kind of distant relationship, in their generation, has been estranged from ordinary people.
It's just that what Liu Zheng knows is that Yuan Zhou's lifelong ambition is to glorify Yuan Jing, and he wants Yuan Jing's lineage to overshadow the Yuan clan in Runan.
"It seems that they brought the Yuan clan people with them, nearly three thousand people of all sizes, but their Yuan family has money after all, and as soon as they arrived in Wu County, they bought several large mansions in the southeast of the city, and all the people of the family lived in them."
"Runan Yuan's all here? That's fine, arrange it for me, I'll meet Yuan Shu in a while, now that the Yuan family is in trouble, it's time for you to come out, when you took refuge in me, I promised you, in the future, you will be stronger than the Runan Yuan family, more promising, today is the time for you to replace the Yuan family and become the head of the Runan Yuan family! ”
Yuan Zhou is under Liu Zheng's hands, loyal and conscientious, over the years, there is nothing else to say, almost to Liu Zheng These people are also heart-to-heart, in the early days, not only took out all his family wealth to recruit soldiers and horses for Liu Zheng, but he was even more hard-working, no matter what task Liu Zheng gave him, he would not refuse, even if he didn't understand, he was slowly learning.
Basically, what was done was not too good, but it was enough to satisfy Liu Zheng.
Now Yuan Zhou's status is the highest-ranking commander in the Jinyi Guard under Liu Zheng, and he is in charge of the most information.
Judging from Yuan Zhou's status now, he can already be said to be the number two person under Liu Zheng, even if those generals who defected to Liu Zheng are stationed in one place, they are only the boss of a region, and Yuan Zhou is already Liu Zheng's side, above ten thousand people, and under one person.
Yuan Zhou has long looked down on a small Runan Yuan family, but at least on the surface, Yuan Zhou's reputation has never been as big as the Runan Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.
Now, Runan Yuan's side is on Liu Zheng's side, and Liu Zheng naturally wants to be the master and correct Yuan Zhou's name.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Zhou was a little excited, and while he was very grateful to Liu Zheng, he immediately went down to make arrangements.
At the same time as receiving Yuan Shu, he also had to meet some elders of the Yuan family in Runan.
The Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, has been developing for one or two hundred years until now.
The earliest was Yuan An during the period of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, who worked diligently in the imperial court, and finally became an official to Situ.
Among Yuan An's three sons, the second son Yuan Jing is the ancestor of Yuan Shu and Yuan Zhou, and the third son Yuan Yi is also an official.
Yuan Jing's second son, Yuan Tangguan, Situ and Taiwei, Yuan Tang had three more sons.
The eldest son, Yuan Cheng, died early without leaving an heir.
The second son, Yuan Feng, inherited the title of Yuan Tang and also became the head of the Yuan family and one of the three dukes.
And Yuan Feng has three more sons.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao is Yuan Feng's concubine, although he is the eldest son, it is impossible to inherit Yuan Feng's family business, but fortunately, Yuan Shao's life is good, and Yuan Feng passed on to his eldest brother Yuan Cheng, who did not leave an heir, so Yuan Shao became Yuan Cheng's sister-in-law. All day long, he played the sign of the fourth world and the third prince to swagger outside.
Yuan Ji is Yuan Feng's eldest son, but the Yuan family has a convention, that is, the eldest son is not very good, and those who are promising are the second sons.
So Yuan Ji didn't have much fame, but the limelight was robbed by the third son Yuan Shu.
Therefore, the family of the Yuan family in Runan fell on the head of Yuan Shu.
In addition to Yuan Feng's heirs, there are also some descendants of Yuan Jing's eldest son, Yuan Peng, in this Yuan clan, who are also the uncles of Yuan Shu and others.
Now, Liu Zheng wants Yuan Shu to give up the position of the head of the Yuan family. To Yuan Zhou, who belongs to the descendants of Yuan Jing.
Although Yuan Zhou is a side branch left by Yuan Jing when he lived in seclusion in Yichun County, he is not a descendant of the Yuan family, but now it is not Yuan Zhou who went to climb the Yuan family in Runan, but the Yuan family in Runan who wants to climb Yuan Zhou.
After all, they belong to the same family, and they are all the heirs left by Yuan Jing decades ago, and they are related to broken bones and blood.
It didn't take long for Yuan Zhou to arrange the meeting with the Yuan family, in the living room of Liu Zheng in Wu County.
There were only three people who came.
Liu Zheng is familiar with Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao's father and son, and there is another Yuan clan member who looks older.
In that person's self-introduction, Liu Zheng understood that he was the elder of the Yuan family of Yuan Shu's uncle.
Although he is the elder of the Yuan family, in Liu Zheng's eyes, his status is not as good as Yuan Shu, at least the current Yuan Shu is the head of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu can call the shots in Yuan's affairs.
As soon as Yuan Yao saw Liu Zheng, he immediately greeted Liu Zheng.
"Yuan Yao has seen the adult, congratulations."
"Oh? Yuan Yao, you said hello to me as soon as you opened your mouth, where did this come from. ”
"I heard that the Lord went south to Funan and returned victorious, isn't this worth celebrating?"
"Haha, it's time to celebrate."
I haven't seen him for a few months, and when Liu Zheng saw Yuan Yao again, he felt that this guy had made great progress compared to when he saw him a year ago, at least Liu Zheng saw him, he no longer had those shyness, and he already had some of the demeanor of his father Yuan Shu in his gestures.
