Yuan Yun was a little confused when he heard that Cao Ang planned to leave him in Luoyang, it stands to reason that he could not escape the matter of going on the expedition, after all, the Gunpowder Army had a great relationship with him Yuan Yun, and it was not once or twice with the army.

Cao Ang looked at Yuan Yun's puzzled face, so he explained: "This time my father conquered Nanpi, and all that remains is to go to Youzhou to uproot those fortifications, the gunpowder army already has fifteen cannons, I don't believe that there are any other fortifications in this world that can be resisted."

Therefore, the task of the gunpowder army after the expedition this time is not heavy, and Brother Yun will not do much if he goes, it is better to stay in Luoyang, after all, the manufacture of those muskets, as well as the supervision of the new workshop, all require Brother Yun to participate in person.

And the most important thing is that I have always been a little worried about Xiliang Ma Teng's side, so I must be cautious, and I can be completely relieved if Brother Yun is here. ”

Yuan Yun thought about it for a while, and indeed entered what Cao Ang said, this time to go to the north to go on an expedition, basically to finish, no matter how strong Yuan Xi's fortifications in Youzhou are, they can't withstand the bombardment of fifteen artillery, and he goes to the north at this time, it is really better to stay in Luoyang and organize various things.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "That's fine, I'll stay in Luoyang, I plan to go to the Hanzhong realm, some things don't go to hand over in person, I always feel that there will be a lot of trouble." ”

Cao Ang shook his head and said, "Yang Aruo seems to have some trouble with Brother Yun, and Brother Yun really needs to solve it, if we can entrap this person, it will definitely be of great help to us in dealing with Hanzhong in the future." ”

Yuan Yun buckled his chin, and then said with a smile: "Before going to Hanzhong, it seems that you still need to go to Longzhong." ”

Cao Ang was stunned, and then said happily: "If Brother Yun can recruit Brother Kong Ming here, this will be a great thing for Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, he had already started to act to recruit Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was really difficult to guess, even after getting along a few times, he still felt that this product was not so easy to be impressed, since he decided to go to Longzhong this time, it should indeed be carefully calculated, because in a few years, Liu Bei's incident of looking at the thatched house will happen, now is not the time to be negligent, if it really follows the development of history, it will be a very headache in the future.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun solemnly arched his hand and said: "This time I will go to Longzhong to discuss this matter with that Zhuge Liang, this goods owe Lao Tzu a lot of favors, and it is time to pay it back." ”

After a short time, Yuan Yun and Cao Ang returned to the study again, and after saying goodbye to a few old gentlemen, they hurried back home.

Thinking of the hardships of the journey in this era, Yuan Yun could only smile bitterly, if he waited for the world to decide, he could build such a thing as a railway, and at that time, as long as Yuan Fu relied on these two rails, he could basically eat and drink for generations.

When Feng Xuan heard that her younger brother Yuan Yun didn't have to go on the expedition, her face was immediately full of joy, she didn't like to fight very much now, especially her younger brother wanted to participate in person, and she was even more disgusted, and now when she heard that she didn't have to go on the expedition, she immediately prepared a big banquet to celebrate, but after being happy for a while, she heard that Yuan Yun was going to go on a long trip, and she was suddenly unhappy.

On the contrary, the second sister Qiaoya is very happy, for her, she has long been yearning for the chivalrous men like the younger brother said, fighting the sword rivers and lakes.

At this moment, seeing everyone's gloomy faces, Qiao Ya smiled, then patted her chest and said, "Little brother is out this time, I will be responsible for protection, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Syllable!

Before the words came out, Qiao Ya's back of the head was slapped hard by Feng Xuan, which made her much more honest.

Feng Xuan frowned, and then asked Yuan Yun, "Does the junior brother have to go out in person?" Can't you leave it to someone to do it? ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Eldest sister's peace of mind is that this time I will definitely bring enough guards to the door of discharge, and there are also personnel from the imperial court along the way, even if I enter Longzhong, Cao Hong of Wancheng will get through the relationship, and there will be no danger." ”

Yuan Yun comforted Feng Xuan, but he was muttering in his heart, there is indeed no danger in Longzhong, but it is different to go to Hanzhong, Zhang Lu now hates Yang Aruo's cottage to the core, coupled with the failure in stability, so at this moment he is constantly frantically suppressing Yang Aruo, and the war is not once or twice, and there are ghosts if it is not dangerous.

Qiao Ya popped up again at this time, and then pointed to her nose and said, "Little brother, when you go out to play this time, you must bring the second sister and me." ”

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not going out to play, it's better for the second sister to stay at home honestly." ”

Qiao Ya just wanted to say something more, but suddenly found a sharp gaze, Feng Xuan had already glared at her fiercely, so frightened that she could only quickly shut down, and then honestly sat down beside Cao Qinghe.

Cao Qinghe had been taking care of a few sleeping children, and when he saw Qiaoya coming, he immediately moved aside, and then handed over Yuan Wei's small body.

On the side, Yuan Yun's niece was brutal, but she followed Qiao Ya closely, looking at Yuan Wei at the moment, a beautiful smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Cai Wenji put down the tea bowl in his hand, and then said to Yuan Yun: "Yuan Lang needs more time to go out this time?" ”

Yuan Yun replied: "It will take about two or three months, this time I will bring Cai Jian and Cai Bin, and they should also go out to have a good experience." ”

Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment and said, "Yuan Lang went out to do business, won't it be helpful to take them?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Wen Ji is always worried that the two of them will do bad things, so he is always reluctant to let me hand over errands to them, this is not a good way to train people, since I take them this time, I need to train them well, these two people's roots are not bad, and their understanding is also high, maybe the Cai family will need them to support them in the future, and they will go to experience with me earlier, and they will mature earlier, so Wen Ji can rest assured." ”

Cai Wenji's face was still full of worry when she heard Yuan Yun say this, but she also hoped that Cai's family could produce some talents so that they could support the huge family business.

Liu Yiyi and Zhen Mi also rushed over from the outside at this time, these days Liu Yiyi is preparing for the northern mining industry, Zhen Mi is expanding the business of soap and perfume, the two have to huddle together Zhang Luo, and they don't forget to fight with each other when dealing with the account books, Yuan Yun doesn't understand their hobby, and there is no shortage of rooms at home.

When Zhen Mi arrived in the house, she immediately saluted her sisters, and then grabbed Yuan Yun's arm before Liu Yiyi, and then showed a provocative look to Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi just looked at it with a smile, and then sat down next to the eldest sister Feng Xuan, for things that often quarrel with Zhen Mi, in fact, she just likes that feeling, it was like this in the Rouge Building back then, and now that she is married to Yuan Yun and moved to Yuan's mansion, there is no chance for this kind of bickering, because Cai Wenji is dignified and generous, Cao Qinghe is gentle and virtuous, and Qing'er is a well-behaved person, so I really don't know how to quarrel.

Not long after, Qing'er also packed refreshments, and the next family finally gathered.

Looking at the three children sleeping in the small bed on the side, and then looking at his wife and concubine and sister, Yuan Yun only felt warm in his heart, he came to Xudu from nothing, and then came to Luoyang with a family from Xudu, the changes in the middle are really emotional.

"In giving me a few years, when the world is relatively peaceful, I will definitely take you around for a tour, and then there will be no more risks, and such a day has always been what I have been looking forward to."

Yuan Yun paused slightly, took a deep breath, and then continued with a smile: "We are going to set up a banquet tonight, why don't I cook it myself, and our family will have a good gathering." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a smile, Qiao Ya was the first to jump up, but when she laughed, she woke up a few sleeping children, and in an instant all kinds of cries and laughter began to come from the house, as well as the sound of Qiao Ya being scolded by Feng Xuan, and the Yuan Mansion immediately became lively.

At the end of dinner, Yuan Yun had the opportunity to return to the study, so he immediately summoned Shi Shen and asked him to summon Invincible and Zhao Si to come, since he was going to go far away, then he had to prepare well, and never do anything unprepared, it has always been Yuan Yun's creed.

The invincible beggar gang has become a huge organization, even Yuan Yun felt a little surprised, in just a few years, the beggar gang has evolved from a small dock gang to a super organization that crosses the Yellow River in the north and the Yangtze River in the south, the main reason is the war, which makes many people displaced, they need safety, they need to huddle together for warmth, then joining the beggar gang is the best choice.

Because of the huge beggar gang, the intelligence network established by Yuan Yun can communicate with each other from north to south, and almost everything that happens can be gathered into his hands, and then enter the chip in his brain to be sorted out.

The changes over the years, Yuan Yun clearly felt, because of his arrival, history has begun to shift, some are small, some are huge changes.

Just like Sun Ce in the south, because he was not assassinated, the Sun family developed abnormally in the south, and Liu Biao's biggest threat now is not Cao Cao, but the Sun family corps that has been continuously gathered from Jiangxia.

For this reason, the scale of the war over there is no smaller than that in the north, Sun Ce is still alive and healthy, Sun Quan is already sensible, the two brothers are one outside the main and one inside, and with Zhou Yu's help, it is only a matter of time before the south is completely occupied by the Sun family.

The reason why Yuan Yun had the idea of Xiliang was that he didn't want to wait any longer, if he couldn't take Xiliang as soon as possible and let the north be completely pacified, it would be difficult for the imperial court to use troops to the south, so this trip was also to prepare for all this.

If Zhuge Liang is co-opted, there will be no Longzhong pair, and without Longzhong pair, there will be no plot of Liu Bei uniting Dongwu to fight against Cao.

And without the crushing defeat of Chibi, once Cao Cao's army entered the south, it would have been possible to unify the world again.

In this way, Yuan Xi in Youzhou, Karasuma in the further north, and Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang have become the key, and only by cutting off all these threats will Cao Cao successfully launch the southern expedition.

Repeatedly studying the information sent by the invincible in his mind, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and he felt extremely comfortable about the cheating behavior of knowing history in advance.

Half an hour later, Invincible and Zhao Si finally arrived.

Yuan Yun beckoned the two of them to sit down in the study, and then said: "I am going to Longzhong in Jingzhou in the next day, so I plan to take Zhao Si with me, if he is here, it will be much safer even if he does not take the avenue."

As for invincibility, I hope that during the period when I left Luoyang, you will deal with all the things that threaten the Yuan Mansion outside Luoyang, and with your means, these should not be difficult. ”

Invincible clenched his fists and replied: "It's a coincidence, now someone is fighting Yuan's idea, my subordinates are already following, once there is news, I will inform Brother Yuan as soon as possible, looking at their posture, it is estimated that they will do it in the near future." ”

Yuan Yun's expression was flat, he had long been accustomed to the person who wanted to assassinate him, so he asked lightly, "Is it sent by Yuan Xi again?" ”

Invincible shook his head and said, "It's not like this time, because this group of people is from the south, not the north, so it shouldn't be Yuan Xi, but Liu Bei." ”

Yuan Yun has never concealed the relationship between him and Liu Bei, so it is normal for Invincible to know, and he buckled his chin, then glanced at Zhao Si on the side helplessly, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It won't be your second brother Zhao Yun this time, right?" ”

Invincible shook his head and said, "No, it's because it's a woman who is in Zhang Luo." ”
