Chapter 201: Father and Son Meet
Looking at the magnificent Pingyu City in the distance, Yuan Shu's heart suddenly calmed down, on the way back to Pingyu from Chen Liu, Yuan Shu was extremely anxious, for fear that he had not returned to Pingyu, Lu Bu was one step ahead of himself to lead his troops to break through Pingyu and even Runan, and seize his own foothold.
And now that Yuan Shu can already see Pingyu City, he still hasn't gotten the news of the fall of Pingyu, which makes Yuan Shu more happy, after all, this should be considered good news. As for saying that Lu Bu was so strong that he couldn't let Yuan Shu get the news after breaking through Pingyu, Yuan Shu didn't believe it.
Runan, that is the territory of the Yuan family, a foreign Lu Bu, has no power and power, even if he can attack Pingyu, it is impossible to block all the news. The family may not be very powerful at the top level, but when it comes to the control power of the middle and bottom levels, the family is far more powerful than the major princes.
Xun Yan rode his horse to Yuan Shu's side at this time and said to him: "Lord, Zhongyu, Zhengping, Yaoqing and Gongzi are already waiting in front, do we need to speed up?" ”
"Oh! Is Yao'er here too? Yuan Shu's eyes showed a look of surprise, and said: "Then let's speed up and return to Pingyu City as soon as possible, does that Lu Bu have any changes?" ”
Xun Yan shook his head and said, "If the news of Zhongyu and Yaoqing is not wrong, Lu Bu has been stationed in Yingchuan without any abnormal movements, and he has not even used troops against Yingchuan, he is stationed in Yingchuan. ”
Yuan Shu's brows furrowed, and he said, "What does this Lu Bu want to do?" ”
Originally, Yuan Shu thought that Lu Bu's appearance in Yuzhou was intended to capture Yuzhou, but now he doesn't think so, what happened in Chang'an City this year is now known to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu also has some guesses about Lu Bu's intentions, but he still doesn't dare to be sure.
When he learned that Wang Yun and Lu Bu teamed up to kill Dong Zhuo and returned to the government of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and then Li Dao, Guo Yan, Hua Xiong and other old troops of Xiliang led troops into Chang'an, forced Wang Yun to death, and regained control of the government, Yuan Shu was also a little embarrassed.
In the past, Dong Zhuo was the strongest prince in the world, the first cavalry in the world, the first military general in the world, and the strength was so strong that he could fight the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the eastern part of the country alone.
But now these are meaningless, Dong Zhuo is dead, although Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have controlled the government, but it will not affect Yuzhou for a while, but this Lu Bu arrived in Yuzhou all the way from Chang'an City, stationed in Yingchuan, and did not launch an offensive against all parts of Yuzhou, which is the problem that Yuan Shu needs to solve the most now.
A few miles further, Yuan Shu saw Yuan Yao, Xun Yue and others waiting on both sides of the road, and when Yuan Shu rode his horse to these people, Yuan Yao stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Welcome my father back to his teacher!" ”
After that, Xun Yue, Yuan Lian, Yuan Yin and others also stepped forward to salute: "Welcome back to the master!" ”
Looking at Yuan Yao, who was dressed in military uniform, at the forefront, Yuan Shu's heart was indescribably satisfied, Yuan Yao broke Zhang Chao's 10,000 army in Zhuyi with 3,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Chao died, and Zang Hong was captured, such a record made Yuan Shu very satisfied, and Yuan Yao's gaze was more pleasing to the eye.
Who doesn't want their son to be a young hero, and Yuan Yao's performance greatly satisfies Yuan Shu's vanity, and at the same time strengthens Yuan Shu's rule over the forces under his command. After all, having such an outstanding offspring will also make the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu's command full of hope for the future.
Looking at Yuan Yao in front of him, Yuan Shu didn't know what words to use to express the joy in his heart, and finally just took his eyes off Yuan Yao and looked at Pingyu City, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Enter the city!" ”
After Yuan Shu walked beside Yuan Yao, a burly figure appeared in front of Yuan Yao, and seeing this figure, Yuan Yao also smiled.
"Master!"
Ji Ling looked at the only disciple in front of him, but there was no smile on his face, he just said to Yuan Yao: "You have done a good job, but you must not be complacent, guard against arrogance and rashness." ”
When Yuan Yao heard Ji Ling's words, his face changed slightly, could it be that Ji Ling felt that he had not done well enough, but defeating 10,000 people with 3,000 people, how could he look at it as a satisfactory record, or did this Ji Ling have higher expectations for himself?
The thoughts in his heart were different, but on the surface, Yuan Yao still respectfully listened to the order: "The apprentice understands!" ”
"Get on the horse and go back to the city!"
Seeing that Yuan Yao was so deferential, Ji Ling didn't say much, and after leaving a sentence in Yuan Yao's ear, he instigated the red-eyed fire wolf to keep up with Yuan Shu's footsteps. Next to Ji Lingzhi, Xu Chu, who had found a new Firetooth Tiger mount, looked at Yuan Yao, and a smile appeared on his face, expressing his kindness to Yuan Yao.
Xu Chu and Xu Ding were introduced by Yuan Yao to Yuan Shu, and later they were also quite used under Yuan Shu, Xu Ding was also appointed by Yuan Shu as a captain after breaking through to the Ning Gang Realm, Xu Ding and Xu Chu were both in high positions under Yuan Shu, this can be said to be the first case, it can be seen how much Yuan Shu attached importance to Xu Ding and Xu Chu brothers.
And Xu Ding and Xu Chu are not treacherous people, they can be so valued under Yuan Shu, in addition to their own ability, Yuan Yao's introduction can be said to account for a considerable part of the reason, so the relationship between Xu Ding, Xu Chu and Yuan Yao is also very good.
Yuan Shu naturally knew about this matter, but Yuan Shu didn't care much. Ji Ling is Yuan Yao's master, Xu Ding, Xu Chu and Yuan Yao have a good relationship, and the relationship between Yu Shi and Yuan Yao is needless to say, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road asked Dong and later Yuan Shu led his troops to pacify the Runan Yellow Turban, Yu Shi acted with Yuan Yao, plus Xiahou Lan and Chen Zhi were also recommended by Yuan Shu to Yuan Shu, so that almost all the high-level generals under Yuan Shu had a good relationship with Yuan Yao.
If such a thing happened to other princes, I am afraid that it would have been suspicious for a long time, even if the party was his own son, but what did Yuan Shu say, he was more big-hearted, and Yuan Yao was his only son, the only heir to his power, and now he was young, and the most important thing was that Yuan Yao did not take the initiative to win people's hearts, so Yuan Shu was still very relieved about Yuan Yao.
Most importantly, Yuan Shu believes that as long as he is there, no matter what this Yuan Yao does, Yuan Shu is confident that Yuan Yao's actions will not shake the foundation of his rule, and he Yuan Shu is not a small minion.
