Yuan Xi was lucky enough to lead the army to retreat in time and did not run into Cao Cao's main army. After returning to the Tiger Pass, personnel adjustments were carried out, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was transferred to the Central Plains to disrupt Cao Cao's grain routes, or the Tiger Roaring Mountains and Forests, to attack the Cao family's forces. Just received the battle report sent by Sun Li's order, Yan Liangwen Chou was killed by Guan Yu, Liu Bei led tens of thousands of horses to disappear, and he had to go over to support Guandu. At this time, the most chilling thing was Zhao Yun, although he knew that Liu Bei was not really committed to Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect to be so immoral, not only did he not order anyone to ask him, but also took the initiative to rebel against Yuan Shao, who took him in, which was really ruthless and unjust.

Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Yun's ugly expression and knew that Liu Bei had completely broken Zhao Yun's heart, and comforted: "I knew that Liu Bei was a human being, in order not to bury Zilong's ability, so I insisted on bringing Zilong here, Zilong can understand my hard work?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "In the future, Zilong is willing to do his best for the general." At this moment, Yuan Xi was really relieved that Zhao Yun would not leave his camp because of Liu Bei, and he was also very happy.

Ma Chao also came over to congratulate Yuan Xi on having a general like Zhao Yun, and by the way, he also came to say goodbye, Ma Yunlu saw that Zhao Yun was a little reluctant, and invited Zhao Yun to Xiliang as a guest. Yuan Xi comprehended, had the heart to match Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu, and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, I don't know if Sister Ling is married?" ”

Seeing Yuan Xi ask about Ma Yunlu's marriage, Ma Chao thought that Yuan Xi was interested in his sister, if he could marry with the Yuan family, it would definitely be beneficial to the development of the Ma family, and although Yuan Xi's martial arts were not high, he was bold, and his peers admired Yuan Xi the most except for Zhao Yun, Ma Chao replied: "My father once wanted to marry her to the son of Han Tunnel, but Yunlu did not agree, so he ran away." Halfway through, the son of Han Tunnel also wanted to snatch Yunlu, and was injured by Yunlu and Ma Dai, this time I went back to deal with this matter, and it was impossible for my sister to marry Han again. ”

Yuan Xi heard that Ma Yunlu was not married yet, Ma Yunlu must like Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was also a little interesting, and asked Ma Chao directly excitedly: "General Zhao Yun is also alone, and they can also talk, I don't know how Meng Qi thinks they will be together?" ”

Ma Yunlu saw that Yuan Xi was going to tell Zhao Yun about himself, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and before Ma Chao could answer, Ma Yunlu replied: "You haven't asked me yet, what is my eldest brother doing?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I don't need to know what you mean, Zhao Yun is my good brother, and I naturally understand." Ma Yunlu suddenly blushed. As for Zhao Yun, he is brave in battle in peacetime, but he is still relatively shy in the face of his children's private affairs, and when he saw Yuan Xi talking about himself, he also mustered up the courage and nodded to show his thoughts.

Ma Chao was also very happy to see that the two were in love, and joked: "I have no problem, but I have to tell my father about this matter before making a decision, Zilong, are you still ready to marry my sister?" ”

Zhao Yun listened to Ma Chao's words, and nodded with a red face, he didn't expect that when the gun god who had been on the battlefield for many years was also shy, everyone was also happy to see it. Yuan Xi, as Zhao Yun's top boss, naturally wanted to support Zhao Yun, and said to Ma Chao heroically: "I will definitely make their wedding lively, Meng Qi only needs to go back and discuss with General Ma, and when the north is stable, I will invite the heroes of the world to attend their wedding, as lively as possible." With Yuan Xi's promise, Ma Chao was relieved, seeing that Ma Yunlu was a little reluctant to leave Zhao Yun, he directly asked Ma Yunlu to stay in Luoyang, and went back to Xiliang to ask his father to solve Ma Yunlu's marriage as soon as possible.

After practicing for Ma Chao, Yuan Xi ordered Zhang Xiu to continue to stay in Luoyang, Hangu Pass for Guo Yuan to stay behind, Tiger Prison Guan was very important, there were originally Hao Zhao and Guo Huai left behind, and now Jia Xu was also sent over to facilitate Zhang Yan. After the arrangements were made, Yuan Xi took the rest of the generals, led 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and went to Guandu to help in the battle.

When Yuan Xi led the army to the Chinese army, the morale of the army was no longer as high as when the troops were dispatched, and it seemed that the battle situation was not optimistic. Yuan Xi met Yuan Shao alone, only to see Yuan Shao's haggard face, and in just a few months, he had already aged a lot. Yuan Shao is the closest person to Yuan Xi in this life, although he doesn't value Yuan Xi, but it is also very good, Yuan Xi is also a filial person, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Father, the child is back." ”

Yuan Shao saw that it was Yuan Xi who came back, and he also showed a rare smile, and said happily: "Xianyi, you came just in time, everyone has been praising your legendary deeds recently, with you, why worry about Cao Cao?" ”

Yuan Xi also nodded and said: "The child is here to share his father's worries this time, my father can rest assured, I have captured the Tiger Prison Pass, although I can't capture Xuchang, but I have sent the Black Mountain Army to disrupt the Cao army's grain route, and there will be a shortage of food for a long time." Therefore, as long as our army fights steadily and makes full use of the abundant materials in our north, it can completely drag down Cao Cao. ”

Yuan Shao listened to Yuan Xi's words, and suddenly had confidence, and said in good spirits: "I have been fighting with Cao Cao for half my life, and now I can't tell the winner." But I believe that there is Xianyi, and it will be my Yuan family who will win in the future. At this time, Yuan Shao had already regarded Yuan Xi as his heir, and was also ready to hand over the army to Yuan Xi to command, he was tired, and even wondered if he had handed over the army to Yuan Xi earlier, would the result be different?

There is no if in the world, and Yuan Xi can't guess all the thoughts in Yuan Shao's heart, but he knows that Yuan Shao values himself more and more, and he will also take on the heavy responsibility of the decisive battle with Cao Cao. Thinking of this, Yuan Xi said to Yuan Shao with concern: "Father's face has not been good recently, he must cultivate well, and he should not work too hard." If my father can trust me, my father only needs to sit in the Chinese army, stabilize the morale of the army, and hand over the heavy responsibility of dealing with Cao Cao to the child, who will live up to his father's trust. Yuan Shao originally wanted to hand over the army to Yuan Xi to lead a decisive battle with Cao Cao, but seeing that Yuan Xi had understood what he meant, he nodded with confidence.

On the second day, Yuan Shao summoned his generals and personally handed over his arrows to Yuan Xi in front of all the soldiers, and he led the men and horses of the four northern states to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao. Since Yuan Xi's debut, he has not encountered a defeat, using soldiers like a god, and recently he has captured Luoyang, Tiger Pass, besieged Xuchang, and beat Cao Cao without any temper.
