Shortly after Cao Shuo left Shouchun, Yecheng, Hebei.

Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu sat in the house.

The judge sat opposite them.

"Cao Zirong first went to Jingzhou, and now he goes to Xudu, what is he going to do?" Mrs. Liu's brows furrowed slightly.

Since Yuan Shang claimed to inherit Hebei, there has been constant friction with Yuan Tan, and the two sides have even fought hard.

Hebei is now a plate of scattered sand, and it can't afford the invasion of the Cao family's army at all.

A few days ago, Cao Shuo was in Jingzhou, and Mrs. Liu was relieved.

As long as Cao Shuo is not in Shouchun, it is not very likely that he will send troops to Hebei, not to mention that he is in Jingzhou.

I thought that Cao Shuo would stay in Jingzhou for a long time, and Cao Cao's energy would also be transferred to Jingzhou.

However, it backfired, Cao Shuo did not stay in Jingzhou, but quickly returned to Shouchun.

When they got the news, Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu were very worried, for fear that the Cao family's army would come to Hebei again.

"Judge the public." Mrs. Liu hesitated and asked the judge, "Do you think the Cao family's army will come to Hebei again?" ”

"With the Yuan family in Hebei, Cao Cao can't rest assured that he will go south." "In my opinion," said the judge, "he will definitely come." And it won't be long before Cao's army enters Hebei again. ”

Her face became a little unsightly, and Mrs. Liu asked, "How do you think you can deal with the Cao family?" ”

Looking at Yuan Shao, the judge said, "The general has to come up with an idea." ”

Since Yuan Shang led Hebei, the title of the judge and others for him has also changed.

Frowning, Yuan Shang's face was also very bad.

He said to the judge: "The eldest brother and I are fighting for Hebei, and we are constantly attacking each other, and the Yuan family is suffering too much, and once the Cao army comes, it will not be able to resist the enemy at all." ”

"That's what the general said." The judge said: "I have written a letter to the eldest son, if he can still read the same line in Hebei, he should not be the enemy of the general." If Cao's army came, with the military strength in the general's hands, it would be impossible to stop it. The best way to stop Cao's army is to seek foreign help. ”

"Seeking foreign help?" Yuan Shang asked: "In today's trend, who else is willing to give us foreign aid?" ”

The judge said: "The general can send an envoy to Xiliang and ask Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to fight the enemy with Gongzi." In addition, you can ask the Huns for help and promise benefits to the Huns. In recent years, the Huns have coveted the Central Plains, and as long as they are given benefits, they will definitely be willing to send troops. ”

"Ma Teng and Han Sui don't say it, they are Xiliang generals, and it's nothing to invite them into the customs." Yuan Shang frowned and said, "However, the Huns ......"

"Although Gongzi promised the Huns, he does not necessarily need to give them benefits in the future." The judge said: "If the Cao family is not attacked, the son will have an excuse not to give it." Once the Cao family was breached, even if the Huns came to ask for it, Gongzi would be able to turn against them. In any case, in the end, it was impossible for the Xiongnu to carve out even a single piece of territory from Gongzi. ”

Looking at the trial suspiciously, Yuan Shang was still a little hesitant.

He frowned, and after a moment he asked the judge, "Judge, do this...... Is it really suitable? ”

"What's wrong?" "We didn't really give the territory to the Huns, we just made an empty promise to them. With the army of the Huns, the Cao family was defeated first, and if the eldest son was still embarrassed by the general, and then the eldest son was broken, wouldn't Hebei be stable from now on? ”

After a moment of silence again, Yuan Shang finally made a decision.

He said to the judge: "This matter will be handed over to the judge, and people will be sent to Xiliang and the Xiongnu, as long as they are willing to agree, I will give all the benefits I can give." ”

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely do it!" The judge stood up and answered.

After the trial left, Mrs. Liu said to Yuan Shang: "Xianfu, your father is not here, and now I rely on you to stand up to the Yuan family, but I have worked hard for you......"

"For the sake of the Yuan family, no matter how hard you work, it's nothing." Yuan Shang said with a sad face: "What I'm worried about is that no matter how hard it is, in the end, it won't be able to change the fate of Hebei becoming someone else's territory......"

"Don't talk nonsense." When Yuan Shang said this, Mrs. Liu's face turned cold: "The Cao family's army has not yet come, as the lord of the entire Hebei, you are afraid first, how can the soldiers follow you to protect the Yuan family's foundation?" ”

"I was wrong, Mother." Yuan Shang hurriedly got up, bowed to Mrs. Liu and said, "From now on, I will never mention it again, and my mother should not be worried." ”

"It's good to know it's wrong." Mrs. Liu sighed, and said to Yuan Shang lovingly: "It's a pity that our Yuan family lost the battle of Guandu, and then Cangting, and your father left such a mess to hand over to you......"

"No matter how bad Hebei is, after all, it is the place where I was born and raised." Yuan Shang said: "I'm not afraid of the Cao family's ......"

"And what are you worried about?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"What I'm really worried about is Cao Zirong." Yuan Shang said: "In the first battle of Guandu, although Cao Zirong did not make many achievements, Cangting was completely defeated by him alone. From the Battle of Cangting, we can also see that it is not easy to defeat the Yuan family with the military strength under his command......"

"Count him out as your brother-in-law...... Mrs. Liu's eyes showed desolation, and she said leisurely: "When he came to Hebei, I liked him very much when I saw him, and I felt that Fang'er married him also had a ......."

"Fang'er is settled, but the Yuan family is going to be defeated in the hands of Cao Zirong." Yuan Shang smiled bitterly and said to Mrs. Liu: "The judge asked me to lead the Huns into the war, but I refused to agree, but it was because of Cao Zirong that I made a decision. ”

"Are you going to let the Huns deal with Cao Zirong?" Mrs. Liu asked in surprise.

"Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui can deal with Cao Cao." Yuan Shang said: "After the Huns enter the customs, I will ask them to drive straight to Huainan." Cao Zirong has been fighting with the Yuan family for many years, and he has long adapted to our Yuan family's tactics, but he will not know how the Huns fight. Maybe the Huns went to Huainan and could really break Cao Zirong. ”

When Yuan Shang said this, Mrs. Liu's eyes widened.

Looking at Yuan Shang in surprise, Mrs. Liu said after a while: "This method is feasible, but it is ......"

"What else does Mother have to worry about?" Yuan Shang asked.

"The Huns went to fight Cao Zirong, but I don't have anything to worry about." Mrs. Liu said: "What I'm worried about is your sister-in-law, I heard that the Huns robbed our Han women to return to the Hetao, and there will be all kinds of **** ......."

"They dare!" Yuan Shang's eyes widened: "As long as they dare to move Fang'er, I will let them not return to the Hetao alone!" ”

Looking at Yuan Shang, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything.

But she still can't let go of it in her heart.

Yuan Fang is in Huainan, if the Huns can't win against Cao Shuo, Hebei will definitely be burned.

If the Huns won the war, how could mothers not worry about their daughters?
