"Old lady, come, come"

I saw that at noon the next day, Yuan Xi smiled and helped an ordinary, even tattered old woman into an extremely luxurious mansion.

The old woman is really Mother Xu who has just been taken over by Yuan Xi personally, Mother Xu's skin is a little rough, although she is not yet fifty years old, but she does add a lot of white hair, but her temperament is very calm, especially in the pair of eyes that seem to be cloudy, there is a hint of perseverance.

"Meet the old lady" The housekeeper in the house, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took the family, maids, and dozens of people to respectfully bow.

"This?" Mother Xu was suddenly a little surprised.

"Uncle, at this time, the mansion arranged by the Hou Ye for Yuan Zhi, because Yuan Zhi commanded the army and conquered Liaodong, so he hasn't come to see it yet" Pang Tong immediately walked over and explained with a smile, he and Xu Shu are not only friends, but also brothers, so they are called a lot closer.

Mother Xu nodded, and hurriedly saluted Yuan Xi respectfully: "Thank you, Master Hou."

"The old woman, please get up quickly, Yuan Zhi is amazingly talented, Xi can get it is a blessing from God, now that he has pacified Liaodong, he must be back to meet the old woman soon" Yuan Xi hurriedly helped up.

"Okay, good" Mother Xu's eyes were suddenly full of longing.

"Come, old lady, Xi will take you around this mansion," Yuan Xi smiled.

"No, no, Master Hou, you are busy with official business, you can't delay because of your old body, just let Shi Yuanxian's nephew accompany you" Mother Xu hurriedly gave way, what kind of identity Yuan Xi is, he is already benevolent and unparalleled if he can come to pick him up, if he still lets him accompany him, it will not only be difficult for his heart, but also make it difficult for his son.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly and said, "It's okay, then let Shiyuan accompany you, the old lady can mention whatever she needs, and Xihui will try her best to meet it."

"Thank you, Master Hou," Xu Mu said again.

Yuan Xi gestured to Pang Tong and left.

When Pang Tong was just about to step forward to help Xu's mother, a woman with an ordinary appearance and wearing a cloth shirt suddenly took the lead, which made him feel surprised for a while, and then he remembered that this woman came with Xu's mother.

At this time, Mother Xu smiled and said gently: "Shiyuan, when I saw you here, my old body was completely relieved, you and my son are both obedient to Hou Ye, which shows that Hou Ye is extraordinary and benevolent."

Pang Tong nodded immediately, and said with admiration: "Hou Ye's love for his courtiers is unmatched, Yuan Zhi recovered Liaodong this time, and made great achievements, Hou Ye will definitely reward him heavily, and even has plans to give Mrs. Han's sister to Yuan Zhi, this woman not only has an extraordinary family background, but also has a gentle personality and a soft appearance, which is carefully selected by Hou Ye."

"What!" Hearing this, the woman who was holding Xu's mother next to her suddenly turned pale.

Mother Xu's face was also surprised, and then she immediately looked at the woman lovingly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Uncle, this?" Pang Tong became curious.

"Shi Yuan, is this matter Yuan Zhi's idea, or is it Hou Ye's decision" Xu Mu immediately asked seriously.

"Naturally, it is Hou Ye, Yuan Zhi has not married a wife yet, and Hou Ye has been caring, and plans to arrange it when Yuan Zhi comes back" Pang Tong took a special look at the woman whose eyes were already filled with tears.

"Then please tell Master Hou, just say that my son has already had a fiancée, and the Han family, my Xu family can't climb it," Xu's mother said softly.

"Old lady, is that what it is?" Pang Tong is so smart, he naturally understands.

"Yes, he is Yuanzhi's fiancée Yan'er, Yuanzhi has not been at home all these years, Yan'er is taking care of me, she has suffered a lot for me, if Yuanzhi abandons Yan'er because he is developed, the old body will never recognize him as a son" Xu's mother said firmly.

Pang Tong was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The old lady doesn't have to worry, Yuan Zhi doesn't know about this matter yet, it's just a kindness from Hou Ye, and I'll tell Hou Ye when I go back."

"Okay, okay" After Mother Xu nodded, she pulled Yan'er, who was grateful, and whispered to comfort her.

Pang Tong suddenly smiled bitterly, Yuan Zhi was hiding very deeply! Even his fiancée has it.

。。。。。。

After two days in a hurry, I saw that at the Liaosui City, the rumbling sound sounded from time to time, and twenty cupola cannons bombarded the city wall in turn.

The entire Liaosui City has been surrounded by a large army, in the camp of the Chinese army, Yan Rou looked at the Liaodong army fleeing in all directions above the city, and Xu Shu said, who was a little surprised: "Our army repelled Gongsun Kang's four breakthroughs, annihilated 10,000 enemies, and the strength of Liaosui is estimated to be less than 20,000, plus the fall of Liaodong, they still did not surrender, and some underestimated this Gongsun Kang."

"The deputy marshal doesn't need to be in a hurry, in two days, the Liaodong Army, which has been cut off from food and grass, is estimated to be hungry and unstable, and it is all Gongsun Kang who is hard, and it will not help" Xu Shu smiled.

Yan Rou nodded and ordered, "Keep giving a certain bomb"

"No!"

"Deputy Marshal, Master Hou's letter has arrived" I saw Gan Ning suddenly riding a horse and said excitedly.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, go back and have a look" Yan Judao said.

"No!"

The two of them returned to the barracks not far from the rear with a group of people, and when they came to the tent, one of the messengers immediately said, "Meet the deputy marshal"

"No need to be polite, what about the letter from the Hou Ye?" Yan Rou asked.

"Here" the herald immediately took out a bamboo slip

After Yan Rou took it, she immediately came to the main seat and looked at it, and when she finished reading it, her face was a little surprised, but she was more moved.

"Lieutenant Marshal, what's wrong?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"You see?" Yan Rou handed the letter over.

After Xu Shu finished reading it, he immediately congratulated with a smile on his face: "Deputy Marshal, this is a great event!" ”

"Strategist, what's the happy event?" Gan Ning asked curiously.

"Hou Ye is going to marry the daughter of the deputy marshal to Shi Yuan," Xu Shu said.

"Really," Gan Ning was surprised.

"Yuan Zhi, this Pang Zhizhong, or Director Pang, also has some understanding, known as one of the three giants in the Assassin Mansion, and is on a par with Liang Junshi and Han Bei, but he is not very clear about the rest, it is reported that you are friends with him, I don't know how this person is? This is just this daughter," Yan Rou asked with great concern.

"The deputy marshal doesn't have to worry at all, this is a matchless match, Shi Yuan, his talent is ten times better than Shu, his virtue is ten times better, and he controls the military department Yamen, commanding the whole army's thoughts, it can be said that no matter what status Hou Ye has, Shi Yuan is a very good minister even in the center" Xu Shu said with certainty.

"So powerful?" Yan Rou was surprised for a while, Xu Shuzhicai he has completely seen, and he can be a national soldier, but this Pang Zhizhong is still better than him, his daughter marries such a person, it is indeed a rare good match, but after thinking about it carefully, there are some worries in his heart, he is already the highest military general in Youzhou, and now his daughter is married to an important minister of the Assassin Mansion, this power is too great, so big that he has some heart palpitations!

Xu Shu smiled slightly, instantly saw Yan Rou's concern, and said: "The deputy marshal doesn't have to worry, the reason why the Hou Ye arranged this marriage is because the deputy marshal is already the highest military position in Youzhou, and there is nothing to add, just to seal your son, it is not enough, so he pulled Shi Yuan over, and indirectly enhanced the prestige of the deputy marshal again, and second, the Liaoxi Army is the strongest army in Youzhou at present, although the deputy marshal is loyal, but it is inevitable that the people below are different, Shi Yuan just happened to be in charge of the military department Yamen, and there is this layer of son-in-law relationship, It can also better expand the military division, so it is reasonable, this is the sum of heaven."

Yan Rou's face froze, and said: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, and Rou sees that it is not only so, after going back this time, Rou will also suggest to Hou Ye to disperse the Liaoxi Army, the original strength plus the two surrendered troops is almost close to 70,000, which is too much."

"Deputy Marshal Wise" Xu Shu immediately admired, and Gan Ning next to him also nodded respectfully.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, you need to have a few more drinks then," Yan Rou laughed.

"Definitely, definitely" Xu Shu hurriedly nodded.

At this time, Gan Ning looked at the herald who had not left yet, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"Master Xu, Master Hou also asked the little one to tell you in person that your mother has been safely taken to Jixian County," the herald said.

"What!" Xu Shu trembled, and hurriedly said, "How is my mother??" ”

"Rest assured, Master Hou has made the best arrangements, just waiting for your army to triumph, mother and son to meet," the herald said.

Xu Shu's face suddenly became extremely ashamed, and he bowed his head deeply and said, "Shu is sorry for my mother."

"Yuan Zhi, don't be like this, your filial piety is obvious to all, now that Ling Mu has come to Youzhou, she will definitely enjoy the best treatment, and she will not starve like before" Gan Ning obviously knew something.

Yan Rou, who saw Xu Shu with such a demeanor for the first time, instantly stared at him, and said loudly: "Xingba, immediately pass on an ultimatum, if Liao Sui does not open the city and surrender tomorrow, our army will officially launch a general attack, and on the day the city is broken, no one will be left."

"No" Gan Ning immediately understood.

"Deputy Marshal" Xu Shu's eyes suddenly showed a trace of gratitude.

"Yuan Zhi, without you, Rou can't defeat Gongsun Du, let alone recover the entire Liaodong, now it's time for Rou to do something for you" Yan Rou said gently, the sooner you recover Liaodong, Xu Shu can go back as soon as possible.

"Vice Marshal Xie" Xu Shu gave a grateful salute.
