Yuan Yun looked at Xu Yu with a serious face, and couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart, but he still remained calm and asked lightly, "What happened?" ”

Xu You first smiled bitterly, and then said: "Originally, the old man thought that Cao Ren had fallen, and we could at least get more opportunities, so when I was in Yecheng these days, I began to contact those local clans everywhere, just to grab some of Cao Ren's business before, but the old man visited several houses, but they were all politely refused, and none of them were willing to cooperate with Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and began to touch his chin, although Xu You said it simply, but the things behind it are not so simple, if you know that Xu You is in the four northern states, he is almost a butcher's name, in order to collect grain before, he has not caused much harm to the local clans, causing these clans to be very afraid of Xu You.

And now these people are unanimously refusing Xu You, which must have taken a lot of courage, and there must be someone behind it.

"What does Mr. Ziyuan mean......"

"What I mean is that these people are probably already united, that is, they are resisting Luoyang, and the old man has recently inquired, Cao Ren is now in the wilderness, but it has made their family's business prosperous, and many resources that they couldn't get before are now readily available, such as minerals on some clan lands."

After Xu You finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, and continued: "The old man also expected this before it happened, after all, Yuan Hou seems to be very bad to the clan, if someone gets in the way, those clans will inevitably choose to be hostile to us when considering the future, and this time these people are unanimously opposed to cooperating with Luoyang, it is conceivable that they must have organized behind the scenes." ”

Yuan Yun really didn't know what to do now, except for a wry smile, but now he finally understood a little, that is, Cao Cao is now almost covering the sky with one hand, but he always adopts a gentle policy towards these clans.

After thinking about this, Yuan Yun asked, "Can these northern clans directly send people to speak?" ”

Xu You shook his head, suddenly snorted, and said: "They have the courage to refuse the old man, it is already good, where do they dare to send someone to have a showdown with the old man, you must know that the old man has a very famous name in the north, give them the courage to do it, they don't dare." ”

Yuan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "Isn't Mr. Ziyuan afraid, sooner or later he will end up like me?" If you offend these clans, if you give them the reputation that your Mr. Ziyuan also hates the family, won't they also be unlucky? ”

Xu You smiled and said: "The old man is different from Yuan Hou, although the old man's family was killed by Yuan Shao, but he still had some reputation before, and the old man also had a good teacher, so no matter how you look at it, they are the same people as these clans, and Yuan Hou is different, your background ...... Uh......"

Xu You suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, but Yuan Yun had already heard the meaning of the words, that is, he Yuan Yun had no roots, in the eyes of these clans, he was completely an upstart-like existence, and he was indeed completely different from Xu You in terms of position and identity.

However, looking at the smile on Xu You's face at this moment, Yuan Yun seemed to understand something, so he asked lightly: "Does Mr. Ziyuan have any way to deal with these clans?" ”

Xu You seemed to have been waiting for Yuan Yun to ask this, and then he was in good spirits, and said loudly: "The old man's name is already stinky in the north, but this is also good, that is, everyone is afraid of the old man, now that these people are united, then the old man will go out and kill again, the smaller clans will be wiped out directly, and the larger ones will completely cut off their financial routes, you must know that the fertilizer in Luoyang is very popular now, and those new farm tools, as well as new seedlings, are priceless, as long as you are willing to talk to us, We will supply them in large quantities, and if we don't want to, we will completely block them, and we will have some advantageous canals, and we will cut off water for them when the time comes. ”

Yuan Yun frowned instantly, shook his head and said: "It's not proper, the autumn harvest is coming soon, and if we cut off the water in the canal now, it will definitely make many places fail to harvest, and this Cao Sikong will definitely not agree." ”

Xu You sighed and said firmly: "Yuan Hou must resist Cao Sikong's pressure this time, if we don't clean up these clans like this, I'm afraid our life in Luoyang will be really sad in the future, and the long pain is better than the short pain." ”

Yuan Yun was noncommittal, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, not worried about Cao Cao's pressure, but worried that Xu You's killing was too heavy, once this matter was really determined, the butcher knife in his hand would inevitably open the killing ring, although he didn't have a good impression of these families, but after all, there were still many women and children who would be implicated.

Xu You is an old fox after all, after only looking at Yuan Yun for a while, he guessed the other party's scruples, so he smiled again and said: "Yuan Hou rest assured, even if the old man raises the butcher's knife again, he will not kill many people this time, and the matter of raiding the family and exterminating the clan will never happen, but it is just to arrest some people and come out to demonstrate." ”

Yuan Yun touched his nose in embarrassment, compared to the people of this era, his moral bottom line is indeed too high, if it is really like this, I am afraid that Luoyang behind will not be able to move an inch.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun nodded resolutely and said: "Although Mr. Ziyuan goes to Zhang Luo, I will go to tell Cao Ang Shizi, as for Cao Sikong's side, there is no need to worry, playing a scoundrel once or twice, it will not have much impact." ”

Xu You's face instantly turned into great joy, and said: "So the old man is afraid that he will leave when he arrives in Leling, and then start to visit one family from there, this time I want to see who dares to oppose cooperation with Luoyang in front of the old man." ”

Yuan Yun cautiously reminded at this time: "Since Cao Ren is involved in this matter, Mr. Ziyuan should still be cautious, when you leave, I will allocate a thousand people to you as a guard, I believe that with this thousand soldiers of the gunpowder army, Mr. Ziyuan will definitely be able to show off his power very much." ”

Xu You laughed out loud and said: "Now the reputation of the Gunpowder Army is very tight, with these thousand people following the old man, those clans are estimated to be scared half to death when they see it, and it will be easy to talk about it later." ”

Leaving Xu You's frame, Yuan Yun finally rode on his old mother's horse, looking at the sunshine at noon, he began to think about Sima Yilai in his heart again, this person's existence has become extremely critical now, and now after Cao Ren's defeat, he is likely to be the one who takes the lead, after all, Cao Pi can be regarded as trusting him, and their Sima family is indeed very famous.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but regret it, I got Cao Ren into the wild in one go, and now Sima Yi is the big beam, this is not a level, it's too late to regret it, if you continue to keep Cao Ren as a martial artist, Sima Yi will inevitably be dragged down by it.

With a bitter smile again, Yuan Yun slightly urged the old mare who sat down, and then ran to the front army, he now wants to discuss with Zhang Liao about the matter of transferring a thousand gunpowder troops to Xu You.

The gunpowder army walked for nearly ten days to arrive at Leling, and revisited the old place, which suddenly made Yuan Yun feel a lot of emotion, in order to avoid Liu Bei's pursuit and fled here to take refuge, and now he has returned, but it is already a different kind of scenery, the local officials did not dare to slack off at all, and directly welcomed out more than ten miles, and he Yuan Yun, as the commander of the gunpowder army, received the best courtesy.

When he entered Leling City, it was already evening, so Yuan Yun had an excuse to refuse the local officials' invitation to a banquet.

Diao Chan arrived one step earlier than Yuan Yun, so she returned to this old mansion earlier, and when she sat alone in the courtyard before her, she couldn't help but remember the matter of assigning the daily account books to Yuan Yun here, and this time she was full of smiles, and she was alone from noon to evening.

Raising her eyes and looking at the sky, Diao Chan's willow eyebrows instantly bent, the news of the gunpowder army entering the city has been sent, so she also knows that her junior brother will appear soon, so she can't help frowning again, because she has to take care of the Wang family's business, she has lived in Beihai for a long time, and Yuan Yun is naturally less together and more separated, and she is somewhat inexplicably melancholy.

After feeling the melancholy, Diao Chan smiled again, now she can be sure that her feelings for Yuan Yun should not be that of her sister and brother, but this is still a secret, and she can only know it herself.

Watching the light of the setting sun gradually dim, Diao Chan did not move his body even though he felt a little hungry, just sat in the flower bed of the courtyard, and began to watch the people hang up some red lanterns, and the entire old Wang house was instantly dyed with a very festive color.

"When is the bright moon, ask Qingtian for wine......" When Diao Chan hummed the ballad, the sky was almost completely darkened, and she must not be worried that Yuan Yun had not come to the palace yet, because as long as this junior brother promised her, he would basically do it, so at this moment, he just had to prepare a table of good wine and food, and then wait for the other party to come.

Thinking like this, Diao Chan was suddenly stunned, and muttered to himself: "It's all in their twenties, how can they still look like a little girl, waiting for people at home like this, but they feel as if they are waiting for their own Langjun, it's funny and funny......"

"What did Senior Sister say was funny? Tell me about it and make me laugh too. ”

When Yuan Yun spoke, he had already walked in from the moon gate of the courtyard, and when he looked at a riding outfit, he knew that he must have just fallen off the horse, so he rushed all the way, Diao Chan had thought about it countless times before, and the words he wanted to say when he met Yuan Yun were now completely unable to say a word, but his face was a little reddish, which made him look a little more delicate.

Yuan Yun approached from a distance, and when he came to the front, he saw Diao Chan's suffocating face at the moment, and suddenly the whole person was stunned, and he didn't know what to say like Diao Chan, so he could only look at the delicate senior sister in front of him blankly, and only felt that his heart was beating very strongly.

At this time, Cao Qinghe and Zhen Mi, who were not far behind Yuan Yun, immediately stopped, the two looked at each other, and finally chose to stay outside the Moon Gate, and then the two looked at each other again, and instantly showed a hint of a smile at the same time, and the two just looked at it and left, leaving only Yuan Yun and Diao Chan standing there.
