Chapter 331: The Great War is about to begin

One is that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao divided Xuzhou equally, although he was worried, but he didn't expect the second uncle to really dare to swallow it alone, and directly sent heavy troops to the junction of Qingxu and Xuzhou, not only that, but also reoccupied several counties in Xuzhou that Yuan Tan had fought before.

This thing was particularly unkind, but Yuan Xi thought about it and found that if his father Yuan Shao had this condition, it seemed that he would do the same, and after thinking about it deeply, he didn't feel strange.

But Yuan Shao is now in full swing, and he can swallow this evil breath, so a big war started in Xuzhou

Yuan Xi had always tried to avoid letting the second uncle and his father go to war before, but he didn't expect to be able to hide from the first day of junior high school, and he couldn't hide from the fifteenth.

Now this big battle is not something he can stop, although Yuan Xi is depressed, he can only sigh in vain and don't bother to care about it.

Because his backyard is also on fire.

The reason is very simple, because Huang Yueying wants to develop commerce, Yuan Xi also opened up trade with Xianbei and Wuhuan attached to Youzhou.

And to establish a stable trading point on the border, in such a peaceful environment, people on both sides come and go, and merchants are naturally not limited to the junction of the border in order to obtain greater profits.

Rather, they frequently go to each other's homes.

The problem is here, the pro-Yuan Wuhuan is fine, but at this time, Xianbei is growing stronger and stronger under the leadership of Bugen, and they occupy the place of the former Xiongnu who were driven to the European continent by the Han people, and also occupy the original place of Wuhuan, and the strength is not strong.

Bugen is still relatively smart, he was not carried away by his strength, but formed a good relationship with Yuan Shao. But I don't know what's going on, after Huang Yueying sent a large business group to Xianbei this time, the whole group was killed, and all the property was robbed.

And it's not just this, the entire business group of the envoys from Youzhou has been robbed a lot, Yuan Xi sat in the shogunate's office, looking at the official documents, his face turned blue with anger.

Foreigners are already wild and untamable, and sometimes they do not do less things to fight the autumn wind, but they have always been petty fights, and Yuan Xi didn't care, but this time they killed people and sold goods, and they were not together, which was a bit of a war.

The judge below looked at Yuan Xi's unkind face, and said cautiously: "Lord, Xianbei has always reconciled with our Yuan family, and the two sides are relatively peaceful, this time I killed so many people, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yuan Xi slapped the table violently and said angrily: "What can happen, they are just a group of uncivilized beasts, eating people and not spitting out bones, now we are strong and okay, when we are weak one day, what do you think they will do?" ”

Yuan Xi has not said anything, firstly, that Youzhou needs to be developed, and secondly, this is Yuan Shao's customized strategy. Now that he is being ridden on his head, how can he not be angry?

Cai Yong Gong said: "You can write a letter first, and see how the leader of Xianbei explains." If there is no good explanation, but the attitude is arrogant, let's report to the general, and we must make them look good. ”

Although Cai Yong is considered a civil servant, he has always been the main battle faction for foreign clans, but Yuan Xi was a little surprised.

Yuan Xi glanced at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu said in a low voice: "The barbarian clan has not yet been civilized, and it is okay to reconcile with them in a short time." If they are allowed to grow for a long time and do not manage them, sooner or later they will be troubled, Shi Yuan agreed with Cai Junguo's meaning. ”

Yuan Xi nodded, but Yuan Shao's meaning is difficult to say, but everyone is bullying people like this, and Yuan Xi is the character of the previous life, how can he tolerate it!

At that moment, Cai Yong was asked to write two letters, one to Xianbei and the other to Jizhou.

In order to put pressure on Xianbei, he also sent Pan Feng, the Taishou of Yuyang County, and Zhang Jaw, the Taishou of Youbeiping County, each commanding 10,000 troops to suppress the border.

If you don't give a good explanation, the big war will be on the verge of breaking out.

Yuan Xi also knew that it was unwise to start a war with Xianbei at this time, and he only had a total of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, plus the three counties of Wuhuan that he depended on, he could only borrow 120,000 troops, that is, less than 100,000 horses.

However, after so many years of development in Xianbei, there are more than 200,000 soldiers who can fight, and they are all fierce soldiers. It's really hard to tell the difference between victory and defeat in a fight.

But he didn't do anything, and he couldn't swallow that breath in his heart.

After everyone retreated, Yuan Xi sat there with his head in a mess, thinking of the two Yuan battles for a while, thinking of Xianbei's strength for a while, and even the chaos of Wuhu in the future. I always feel that the Yuan family is going to follow the old road.

"My lord, Xu Bingcao is asking to see you outside." Gan Baobao said cautiously.

Yuan Xi's face was so ugly, it was the first time she had seen her.

Didn't you just go? How did you come back again?

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Let him come to see me, you are guarding outside, don't let anyone in." ”

"Yes, sir." Gan Baobao respectfully retreated.

"I have seen my lord." After Xu Shu came in, he saluted.

"Okay, don't be polite to me when there's no one else. Say, what's the matter. ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly and asked, "Lord, Yuan Zhi wants to ask you, for He Xianbei, do you want to fight or want to make peace?" ”

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Shu said: "If you want to fight, we have to fight hard, if you want to make peace, it will be easier." It takes almost no effort. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "What does Yuan Zhi mean?" ”

Xu Shu said loudly: "Shi Yuan remembers that when he came to Youzhou, he told the lord that one is to repay the grace of the lord, and the other is to fight against foreign clans and ensure the safety of one party. ”

Yuan Xi asked again: "Then you say, should I fight or should I make peace." ”

Xu Shu was not fooled, shook his head and said, "How can Shi Yuan guess what the lord means." ”

Yuan Xi walked out from behind the case, pointed to the stool on the side for him to sit down, he also sat on one side, and sighed: "Don't consider the overall situation, it's a bloody man who wants to fight, how can I tolerate foreign aggression and swallow my anger." ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard with a smile, "Is the lord worried about the general?" ”

"Yes," Yuan Xi didn't intend to hide it from him: "My father is now fighting with my second uncle, and he is fighting in Xuzhou, and I estimate that even if his strategic goal is finished, the next one will be Cao Cao, and of course this border will be stable if he wants to be stable." ”

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "What the general is worried about is nothing more than that Youzhou is stuck in the quagmire of war and cannot extricate himself, and he is worried that he has made too many enemies, but if we can beat Xianbei to a slump, what if the lord thinks that the general should be?" ”

Yuan Xi was puzzled: "More than 200,000 soldiers in Xianbei, can we really fight?" ”
