Chapter 112: The History of Youzhou's Thorns

Yuan Xi's hand was raised in the air, like the arm of a crane, and he froze for a while. What can I say about the history of Youzhou's assassination, it's not your dad who has the final say? Besides, my husband and grandson are still bitter and stick to Yijing, and it is too shameful to talk about this at this time.

But more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at him, and Yuan Xi had no choice but to stand up and said respectfully: "This Youzhou Thorn History, you have to find a reliable person." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Well, that's right. All of you here are reliable people. What else? Tell me more, you want to hear your opinion. ”

"And? And then there's ...... You have to find a tried and tested, capable, dedicated to the people, responsible, preferably not too old, the climate in Youzhou is relatively cold, you have to find a strong body, but also be able to deal with the local Wuhuan people. You also have to have a certain amount of experience in leading troops, because the local people are fierce and thieves are rampant, so you have to be like Gongsun Zhan, who can quickly exterminate the thieves. ”

As soon as he said it, he couldn't help it, Yuan Xi analyzed a lot of abilities in a straightforward manner, and Yuan Shao nodded again and again.

"Uh-huh, you're right, anything else?"

Yuan Xi scratched his head and said, "Actually, the most important thing is the person you trust, father." ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Since you're done, I don't have anything to say." You see, this candidate has been decided. ”

Tian Fengfeng, Ji Guo, and Xu Yu and others bowed their hands to Yuan Xi one after another: "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

Yuan Xi was confused and a little confused.

Yuan Shao said to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang again: "Xiansi, Xianfu, what do you two brothers think?" ”

Yuan Tan said: "I have no opinion. ”

Yuan Shang was a little unwilling, and said: "Although I am not convinced, this candidate is none other than the second brother." ”

What the? Yuan Xi almost fainted. What the hell? Isn't it a candidate to discuss the history of Youzhou's assassination? Before we started discussing it, it was decided. No, I'm the man who wants to change the course of the history of the Battle of Guandu.

"Wait! My father, Mr. Lie, privately thought that this matter was very important and that it should be discussed again, and it could not be decided so hastily...... I'm shallow in virtue, I'm afraid it's hard to do it, so I'd better ask for another skill. ”

Yuan Shao said: "How many times have you discussed, and what else are you discussing?" After returning to Yecheng for so many days for my father, I summoned a lot of people, and everyone still thinks that you are the most suitable. Well, it's been decided that it's you. You don't have to shirk it. Xianyi, your reputation is still good, even General Gao, who was driven out of the camp by you first, has nothing to say to you in this matter. After you go to Youzhou, work hard, pay special attention to the people who are close to Gongsun Zhan, and deal with the relationship between Han and Hu......"

He didn't listen to a word of the latter words, he just felt that his head was buzzing, it turned out that no matter whether Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang framed himself today, Yuan Shao didn't listen to it, and he still kept himself, just to let himself go to Youzhou to take office. And that Gao Guan, he wished that he would be sent to the frontier by himself, and if he didn't take command of the camp with him, how could he have an opinion?

Now Yuan Shao already has the land of the four states of Hebei, and he leads the Jizhou pastoral, which is the richest place among the four states. Yuan Tan led Qingzhou, which is a place bordering Cao Cao, where thieves are full of troubles and need to be skillful. The terrain of Bingzhou is long and narrow, the land is barren, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away, which has been handed over to Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan. Judging from his habit of appointing the top leaders in various places, he is still accustomed to appointing his relatives, and the closer he is, the better.

Youzhou this place, the area is wide, the south is a plain, the north is the mountains stretch, Yi Jing is in the north of Nanpi, guarding the portal, and Yi Jing is Ji County to the north, is the most important position in the whole Youzhou. Ji County is a watershed, and to the north of Ji County, it is a place where Hu and Han are mixed. To the west is Shanggu, to the east is Yuyang, both are rich in horses, but because they are far away from the Central Plains, wars are frequent, and they are relatively poor places. Speaking of which, after Gongsun Chan lost Nanpi, his overall strength was already lower than Yuan Shao's, and it was already remarkable that for so many years, relying on the land of a state, it had brought so much pressure to Yuan Shao.

I think that during the Warring States Period, Youzhou was the territory of Yan State, and Yan State was the weakest among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, which shows that Youzhou's backwardness, whether it is population or economy, can not be compared with Jizhou.

Yuan Xi wanted to cry without tears, and he had to accept the congratulations of everyone present. The history of a state's assassination, that is the number one in the locality, is equivalent to the governor of later generations. Such an important position, how many people have struggled all their lives and failed to climb up. Now that Yuan Xi is just in his early twenties, he can stand on this base point and have decades less struggle than others, how lucky he is.

Yuan Tan said: "Second brother, when you go to the place, you have to learn more and ask more, your eldest brother and I came here like this." If there is anything you don't understand, let's communicate by letter. ”

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Can you not call me 'second'?" ”

"Haha, it's all the same."

Yuan Tan began to pay attention to his brother at this time, everyone is now on an equal footing, although the status of Youzhou is not as good as that of Qingzhou, but in the future, the two brothers will not be in the center, and they have to take care of each other and jointly guard against the third brother.

As soon as he pushed the door open, the cold wind outside blew on his cheeks, Yuan Xi narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. After being in the house for a long time, even the air is turbid, and the fresh air outside seems very comfortable.

Unexpectedly, he was so bent on participating in the battle of Guandu, but he was forced to go to the north, looking at the battlefield in the south, but he couldn't intervene. Will history follow the original path? Will Yuan Shao be defeated by Cao Cao? Will Cao Cao go all the way north and unify the whole of Hebei? These are just unknowns.

From a macro point of view, these historical events are written in books, and they seem to be things that happen in a snap of a finger. But if you are really in this era, every day is a long time, so you can't notice the so-called historical events, and you don't have the feeling of being able to experience the changes of the times.

Gongsun Chan has been in Yijing for two months, and he doesn't know how long it will be before the final destruction. During these days, he will be able to continue to stay in Yecheng. He will not go north until Gongsun Chan is eliminated.

Gongsun Chan still had a few months to live, and the battle of Guandu was even more distant, as if it would never happen. As soon as the timeline is extended, people don't have that sense of urgency, and the victory or defeat of Guandu will affect Yuan Xi's entire second half of his life. But on this winter day, under the warm sun, everything is so calm and harmonious, full of the taste of leisure. It's like saying everywhere that smoking is bad for your health, but if that harm doesn't happen right away, you will continue to enjoy the fog and no anxiety at all.

"Second brother!"

Yuan Shang chased after him from behind. There were still people in the room talking, but it was already small talk. The two brothers were standing under the porch, and there was no one around.

"What else do you call my second brother for? As for today's events, if it weren't for my father's good mood, I don't know what would have happened? You dead, you're going to be killed by you one day. ”

Yuan Shang was obviously not in a good mood, and roared with a thick neck: "I haven't troubled you yet?" I was almost beaten upside down by you...... What does dead mean? ”

Yuan Xi said: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, since you want to harm me, don't blame me for being rude." I'm going to Youzhou now, are you happy? Dead? It's the meaning of sissy......"

"How dare you call me a?"

"Aren't you just a dead? Is that the kind of relationship you have with your furry pet? Well? Also, you don't like women, don't you find it strange yourself? Every day, I feel sick when I get girly and old in front of my eyes......"

"Damn-" Yuan Shang punched over, Yuan Xi had already prepared and flashed over.

Hmph, the same river, I won't step into it twice.

Ouch, oops.

Yuan Shang's punch missed, and he immediately kicked sideways and hooked Yuan Xi's foot, Yuan Xi stood unsteadily and fell to the side.
