The next day, Yuan Xi scolded loudly in the conference hall.

"What does he mean? What did he say that people sent out and sent back? ”

Feng Ji on the side said: "The child did see it, and the eldest prince also expressed his gratitude." However, he said, 'There is chaos outside, but the house is safe, and I believe that the third child has the ability to take care of the family.' With that, the man sent it back. ”

"What about sending troops? Did you say yes? ”

Feng Ji said: "Uh...... Didn't say good, didn't say bad. ”

"What does that mean?"

Yuan Shang scratched his head, and his voice raised an octave.

The trial went to the head of the city to supervise the battle, but surprisingly, today's Cao army's offensive was even weaker, and even in Yuan's mansion, no movement could be heard. This made Yuan Shang's mind come alive again, and he said to Feng Ji: "My eldest brother is just going to go to the city to see my father and confirm his condition. I resolutely refuse to allow this, now is the most critical time, even if Cao Cao retreats, I will not let them succeed. ”

"Them?"

"And, of course, my second brother. In my opinion, my second brother seems to be more tricky. ”

"I heard that the northern camp was occupied by him, but he didn't send troops, so he shrank there."

Both fell silent at the same time. If you know the purpose of the opponent, you can resist even the most fierce attack, but you don't know what the opponent is going to do, which is the most troublesome.

Feng Ji said: "The second prince is naturally most concerned about Mrs. Zhen, or we can use Mrs. Zhen as a hostage...... this guy began to have bad ideas again.

However, this time, Yuan Shang immediately vetoed: "My second sister-in-law is a member of the Zhen family, in case she annoys the Zhen family and surrenders to Cao Cao directly, I can't afford this loss." ”

Feng Ji slapped his head, how did he forget about this? Although the Zhen family is only a local wealthy family at best, it naturally has some energy to marry into the Yuan Mansion, especially with several other family landlords.

In the end, Feng Ji said: "The lord will come out quickly to support the overall situation......"

Yuan Shang said bitterly: "Do you think I don't want to? The eldest brother and the second brother outside must have thought that I had set up my father, but I couldn't say it because I was suffering. You have to defend against the enemy forces attacking the city, and you have to guard against the undercurrents surging inside. It's not easy to sit in this position. ”

"What's so bad about sitting?"

A voice came from the door, and the two hurriedly looked over, only to see Mrs. Liu standing at the door. This Yuan Shao's wife had a blue face, and a pair of triangular eyes stared at Yuan Shang intently. Frightened, Yuan Shang hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Liu ignored him, went straight to Yuan Shanggang's main seat and sat down, and said, "A little wind and waves are panicked like this, what else can you do?" Have you forgotten your father's teachings? ”

Yuan Shang hurriedly sat down at the bottom and said, "The child naturally doesn't dare to forget." It's just that now the army is defeated......"

Mrs. Liu interrupted him: "What is defeat, how can there be a reason to be undefeated in war." If you lose this time, next time you stand up, won't you just do it? Cao Cao in the south, who was not also lost by Lu Bu at the beginning, lost all his belongings. Didn't he hang Lu Bu in the White Gate Tower later? ”

"Yes...... Be...... Mother is right. ”

Mrs. Liu looked straight ahead, her tone was indifferent, and she spoke seriously: "Your two brothers, seeing that there is a difficulty, each of them has made a small calculation, where is this the way to be a son of man?" It's a big rebellion! Immediately send the messengers to scold them and let them fight together, or else you will deprive them of their military power. ”

Yuan Shangdao: "Will they think again? One is Qingzhou and the other is Youzhou, both of which are characters from one side......"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Mrs. Liu really hated that iron could not become steel, and scolded loudly: "I usually see that you are quite smart, why are you so stupid at this time?" ”

Yuan Shang hurriedly wiped his sweat and didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Liu said: "We were captured by Cao Cao, not to mention that their wives and children have suffered, let's just say that Cao Cao will let them go?" When the time comes, Cao's army will be like a bamboo, how long can Qingzhou Youzhou hold out? ”

Yuan Shang suddenly realized and said: "Mother is right, now our three brothers are a boat, and it will be difficult for anyone to sink the ship, they must be saved." It's just before the conditions are on. ”

Feng Ji also nodded again and again.

Mrs. Liu said: "There are no conditions to talk about in this matter. But you can also tell them about your father's condition, and say that his health has improved, and he will be able to go to the city tomorrow to supervise the battle. ”

Yuan Shang was overjoyed and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course it's fake." Mrs. Liu's words were like a basin of cold water poured up, which made Yuan Shangbai happy, and she said, "If you don't say that, how can they contribute?" ”

Yuan Shang said: "Okay, send a messenger immediately." ”

When the envoy arrived at the Beida camp, he saw Yuan Xi's face, emphasized Mrs. Liu's words, scolded him bitterly, and then went back without mentioning the matter of the soldiers.

Yuan Xi was confused when he heard it.

Tian Feng said: "It seems that the lord's body has recovered...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have said such a thing, and I am full of confidence. ”

"But the tone is a bit like a shrew scolding the street." ”

Yuan Xi stood up and said, "I don't know anything else, I'm afraid the eldest brother will have to send troops." As soon as he sent troops, Cao Cao had something to focus on. I asked my eldest brother to postpone the dispatch of troops, but I didn't want him to be defeated so quickly, and then the morale inside and outside the city would be greatly damaged. I found that Cao's army had slowed down its offensive in the past few days, apparently to let the city let its guard down. If so, he feels that Cao Jun is weak, but he has fallen into a trap. ”

Fu Zhu said disapprerovingly: "But I think that the eldest prince really eats this set." ”

On the third day, Cao's offensive was weaker. Yuan Tan in the east of Yecheng really sent troops.

Cao Cao stood on the high platform and smiled in the direction of Yuan Tan: "Yuan Tan Xiao'er really can't help it, everyone is ready to prepare, it is best to catch Yuan Tan." ”

There was a roaring response from below.

Only Guo Jia hid in a corner of the tent, poured a glass of wine, poured it into his throat, let out a sigh, rubbed his hands, and then made a note on the paper. Someone immediately opened the curtain and came in, and the strong light that came in made Guo Jia, who had been dark for a long time, hurriedly cover it with his hand.

"Fengxiao, Yuan Tan has sent troops." Said the man who came in.

Guo Jia's pen paused in the air, frowned, and said, "It shouldn't be so fast......

"Is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that a few days ago, General Xiahou wrote that the Yuan army had a very powerful cavalry, about 500 people. This is also consistent with what General Cao said. I always feel that among Yuan Jun, there are also powerful characters. ”

The man who came in: "Do you think this powerful character is Yuan Tan?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "If Yuan Tan didn't have reservations about the few battles he fought in Qingzhou, then this person shouldn't be worried, but he shouldn't despise his opponent." ”

"That's going to remind the lord to pay attention......"

The man lifted the curtain and went out again.

Guo Jia put down his pen and muttered, "Who is it?" What exactly do you want? ”
