The talent brought by Xun Zhan is Xu Shu, Xu Shu is completely a buried talent, although he does not appear much, he is very impressive, he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, this allusion shows his tragic life. When he was a teenager, he avenged his friends and did not hesitate to destroy his future; After fleeing and returning, he met the Ming Lord, defeated Xiahoudun with a weak army, and became famous; But because of his mother, he was willing to join Cao Ying, knowing that it was a plan; And for Liu Bei's sake, he didn't want to offer a plan with Cao Cao, such loyal people came to vote, how could Yuan Xi not be excited!

It turned out that Xu Shu and Xun Zhan were both from Yingchuan, and after Xun Zhan visited Liu Biao this time, he remembered that he had not returned to his hometown for many years, and couldn't help but miss it, passing by Yingchuan. Xu Shu's previous crimes have also been over, and he was serving his mother at home, and happened to be met by Xun Zhan. Although Xu Shu was down, Xun Zhan also respected Xu Shu as a chivalrous warrior with affection and righteousness, and the north invited Xu Shu to come to serve when he was employing people. Xu Shu also wanted to establish a reputation, but he couldn't let go of his mother at home, so he politely declined.

The old woman heard the conversation between Xu Shu and Xun Zhan in the inner hall, and immediately became angry, and rushed out of the inner room and said: "Rebel son, you killed people and escaped back then, but you thought about the old mother at home, and I didn't live like this." The eldest husband should protect the family and defend the country, and make meritorious contributions, if you have real skills, go with Lord Xun, don't use me as an excuse. Xu Shu was ashamed, although he couldn't let go of his mother, he had no choice but to follow Xun Zhan to the north. So when Yuan Xi asked if Xu Shu still had relatives in his family, Xu Shu was suddenly gloomy.

Yuan Xi knew that Xu's mother was old and had difficulty moving, but her mother, who knew so much about righteousness, was really enviable, and she arranged for the sergeant to bring Xu's mother to Youzhou, and Xu Shu was even more grateful and couldn't express it. Yuan Xi asked Xu Shu about the current situation, Xu Shu was grateful to Yuan Xi for his attention, and after thinking about it, he also said his opinion unreservedly: "The lord and Youzhou and Bingzhou soldiers attack the western front, if the performance is strong, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties, not only Cao Cao will send heavy troops to target, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui will also send troops to each other, the most serious thing is that once Karasuma and Liaodong Gongsun Du know, maybe they will also take advantage of the fire to rob Youzhou, if Youzhou is lost, the lord will be homeless." I suggest that the lord should focus on containment, mainly to help Yuan Gong win Cao Cao. Then, with the ability of the lord, after inheriting the power of Yuan Gong, he will fight to the death with Cao Cao, and then he will be the first book! ”

Yes, Xu Shu's analysis of the situation made Yuan Xi and Xun Zhan both nod their heads in praise. I really don't know if I am in the game, the current northern force is Yuan Shao, my father, but after all, it is not me, I am just the second son, if the edge is too exposed, not only will the enemy be vigilant, but the forces of the Yuan family may also target themselves. Defeat Cao Cao, but also let yourself follow the funeral, what is the meaning of winning, he only thinks about attacking Luoyang all the way and forcing Cao Cao to retreat, Youzhou is also left with heavy guards, thinking that it is foolproof, but he just stands in the current perspective, and does not count the changes in the general trend of the world.

Yuan Xi stepped forward excitedly and held Xu Shu's hands: "With Yuanzhi's help, why worry about the big thing?" I also hope that Yuan Zhi will not hesitate to give advice. Xu Shu saw that Yuan Xi humbly accepted his opinion, and then analyzed: "The lord has subdued Montenegro and moved to the north, Cao Cao has taken precautions, and he will definitely send his generals to fight against the lord." The lord should not be in a hurry, first rectify and merge the state soldiers and horses, unify the order, and confront it. Wait for Yuan Gongzhong's army to fight, if it wins, it will attack with all its might. If defeated, return to the army to support. If they hold each other, they will send troops to harass the rear, so that Cao's army will not be at ease. In this way, Cao's army will retreat, and the lord can also make meritorious contributions, and he will not be too sharp, and he will naturally get the military power. ”

Listening to Xu Shu's analysis, Xun Zhan was also impressed: "I can't reach the depth of Yuanzhi's strategy." Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I already know the ability of Xun Gong, why bother to be too modest, what the public office is good at is debating eloquence, if there is no you, how can Yuan Zhi work with us?" The two saw that Yuan Xi was young, but he could discern people and was willing to be convinced.

The army will be raised soon, and Yuan Xi is even more busy arranging things in Youzhou, only being intimate with Zhen Mi at night, and not having much time to care during the day. One day, Yuan Xi returned home, and heard that Zhen Mi was unwell, so he hurriedly asked the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, only to hear the doctor congratulate him: "Congratulations to Lord Shi, Mrs. is happy, so I occasionally feel unwell." Wait for me to prescribe a few pills to protect the fetus, and be careful to protect the fetus, and it will be fine in a few days. Yuan Xi learned that Zhen Mi was pregnant, and he was in a happy mood, so he rewarded the doctor. After the doctor left, Yuan Xi stepped forward and gently hugged Zhen Mi and said, "Madam, now that you are pregnant, you must not be too tired, and call someone if you have something." If there are not enough people, you can ask the housekeeper to hire another person. Zhen Mi nodded and agreed, promising that she would raise the fetus at home with peace of mind, and she was even more grateful to Yuan Xi for her care.

In the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao sent a military order to Yuan Xi to go to Jizhou to help in the war. Yuan Xi took Xun Zhan and Xu Shu as the army, and Zhang Yan and Sun Li as the deputy generals, and ordered 20,000 elite soldiers to rush to Jizhou. Before parting, Yuan Xi announced the good news of his upcoming future, and specially instructed the generals to pay close attention to the movements of all parties, stabilize the situation in Youzhou, ensure the safety of Jixian and his wife, and privately told Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw to pay special attention to Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch. Although Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw were puzzled, the second son knew things like a god, so he didn't dare to ask more, and kept in mind what Yuan Xi said. After the event, Yuan Xi rushed to Jizhou with his army.
