Chapter 695: Spare Yuan Shang
"Mr. Cheng Yu, wait!" Seeing that Cheng Yu was also leaving, Tai Shi Ci thought about it, stopped him, and thanked Cheng Yu: "Mr. Cheng Yu, this time I really thanks to your help, if it weren't for you, Brother Zang Ba might ...... Thank you so much. ”
"General Ziyi, there is no need to say much if you are polite, Cheng will say goodbye, and he will see you again in the future."
"Well, I'm looking forward to the day when I see Mr. Cheng again, but ......" Tai Shici said with some concern: "This time, I think that Xu Huang will definitely tell Mr. Cheng in front of Cao Cao in order to excuse himself, I don't know if Mr. Cheng will be safe after you return to Xudu?" ”
"Hehe, General Ziyi can rest assured, Cao Cao and his people, Cheng understands, although he is suspicious, sometimes he will seem to be assertive and domineering, but in general, Cao Cao is not as irritable as the world imagines, in fact, as long as you are reasonable, Cao Cao can still accept it, really, looking at the many princes in the world and the present and the past, Cao Cao is really an enlightened master, of course, it cannot be compared with your New Han Dynasty Taifu Liu Yi. Well, as a courtier, you shouldn't talk about the rights and wrongs of your lord behind your back, but please rest assured Ziyi, Cheng will naturally be fine, don't pass by! Cheng Yu hugged Tai Shi Ci with a fist.
"Okay then......" Tai Shici clenched his fists in return, and said: "No matter what, as long as Mr. Cheng is in difficulty, he can inform him at any time, or inform my lord that it is the same, my lord of my family, you also respect Mr. Cheng Yu very much, and you are quite respectful." As long as you use our place, we will go to the soup and fire! ”
"If you have a heart, don't send it!" Cheng Yu swung away, and Shi Shiran left.
Next. Tai Shi Ci first inspected Zang Ba's injury, and there was no big problem with the external injury. However, it is estimated that the internal injuries will have to be recuperated for a long time. It's okay, since you promised to let Zang Ba's Taishan army not participate in the battle against Cao Cao. It also happened to let Zang Ba recuperate.
Tai Shici didn't stay long in the main peak cottage, and hurriedly went down the mountain, watching Xu Huang's military horse slowly retreat, and then joined Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao. After sending someone to talk to Zang Ba, he returned to the main village of Mount Tai.
Zang Ba promised his Taishan army horses not to participate in the battle against Cao Cao, but Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao's original Yellow Turban Army was not subject to this restriction.
After arriving at the cottage of Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao, he immediately began to form an army, and nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban troops were trained into a military horse of more than 20,000 people, and then immediately went to Taishan County.
Taishan County. It was originally controlled by Zang Ba, but there were not too many military horses in that county, and Zang Ba had already ordered the Taishan army there to hand over the Taishan county city to Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao to take over.
Two days after Xu Huang retreated from Mount Tai, Tai Shici went directly to Taishan County with Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao.
After arriving at Taishan County, Tai Shici also understood why Cao Cao attached so much importance to this county town.
The city faces the Yellow River with Mount Tai on its back, and guards the main traffic routes along the Yellow River to the west. It is the only way to march from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to Jinan.
Of course, Taishan County is not on the edge of the Yellow River, but there is still a long way away, but. As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are continuous mountains, and it seems. There seems to be no way through it at all. So, the army marched on. Kill to Jinan through Mount Tai, is the most convenient traffic artery.
Let's say. Zang Ba really completely obeyed Cao Cao, listened to Cao Cao's orders, and sent Taishan's military horses to Taishan County to defend at all costs, then I am afraid it will really bring greater trouble to the New Han Army, at least, the New Han Army wants to march from Mount Tai to Jinan, and wants to seize Yanzhou, I am afraid it is not easy.
In particular, if Zang Ba completely opened Mount Tai to Cao Cao and allowed Cao Cao's military horses to enter Mount Tai, then Cao's army could use the natural barrier of Mount Tai and the military horses passing through Mount Tai and Cao Cao's military horses to threaten to contain the New Han army that was killed from the north, such as Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du's New Han Army, or they could also send troops from Mount Tai to attack Beihai, or even send troops north.
Of course, all this is hypothetical, if Zang Ba really submitted to Cao Cao from the beginning, then it would not be too easy for the New Han army to cross the Yellow River estuary and go south.
Zang Ba agreed to Xu Huang's conditions, which should have included the county seat of Taishan, and could not be occupied by the New Han army. It's just that Tai Shici played a sideline ball with Xu Huang. Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Huang should not have returned to Xu Du to report to Cao Cao at this moment, the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, which does not belong to Zang Ba's command, first asked for control of Taishan County from Zang Ba's hands, so that even if Cao Cao knew, he could only call for it, because at this time, it would be useless for him to send Zang Ba for not keeping his promise or something, not to mention, Zang Ba can also shirk it, clearly saying that he was injured in bed, and he was unable to control Taishan County at all. The Taishan Yellow Turban Thief Army, who had already been subordinated to the New Han Dynasty, went to attack and captured the county town of Taishan, but this was not something that he Zang Ba could control.
Anyway, now that the county town of Taishan has fallen into the hands of the New Han Army, it is already an ironclad fact, and it is meaningless for Cao Cao to say anything.
Tai Shi Ci in Taishan County, directly informed Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan learned that Tai Shi Ci was silent, basically did not need a soldier to seize Taishan County, and even the entire Taishan area, he was overjoyed, that night, led a cavalry army into Taishan County, and Tai Shi Ci discussed the matter of marching to Jinan.
At this time, Yuan Shang was also escorted to Luoyang, and Tai Shici's actions in the Taishan area and Zang Ba's return to the New Han Dynasty were also sent to Luoyang through the flying pigeon to inform Liu Yi.
Escort Yuan Shang to Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are far away, so it is to go straight to the official road, and it takes a lot of heaven to escort it, so that Fang and Tai Shici's flying pigeon biography arrived almost at the same time.
It turns out that the Yuan Mansion in Luoyang occupies a huge area, but it has already been divided into many courtyards by the court of the New Han Dynasty, and has been used as other routes.
However, it just so happened that the main part of the Yuan Mansion was originally intended to be used as an official office after it was renovated.
Now, since Liu Yi has promised Mrs. Zhang and the Liu family to let Yuan Shang go, he has escorted him to Luoyang. Then, Liu Yi simply did it to the end and went to the imperial court. Explain clearly to the civil and military forces in the court, mainly to tell everyone. The New Han Dynasty was broad-minded and could accommodate anyone or anything that would not endanger the New Han Dynasty. Although the New Han Dynasty was a sworn enemy with Yuan Shao. However, the Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, and the contribution of the Yuan family to the Han Dynasty are obvious to all, and of course, hundreds of Yuan Kui's family members were also killed by Dong Zhuo in order to resist the Han thief Dong Zhuo. Therefore, the Yuan family, which is barely considered to have contributed to the Han Dynasty, should not be wiped out by the New Han Dynasty, at least. It is necessary to keep the incense of its Yuan family, and hope that the Yuan family will accept the lessons of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and not be like them, intending to usurp the Han Dynasty, and in the future, the descendants of the Yuan family will be loyal to the Han Dynasty and serve the Han Dynasty forever. It also allows all the people of the world who are enemies of the New Han Dynasty to take this as a lesson. Don't make mistakes. At the same time, it also let them see that submitting to the New Han Dynasty is their best way out.
Therefore, Liu Yi wanted to return the main part of the Yuan Mansion. After ordering someone to clean it up, it was decided to return it to Yuan Shang.
What Liu Yi did, Yuan Shang, who had just been escorted to Luoyang, naturally didn't know. It was Mrs. Zhang and Liu, who saw that Liu Yi had done so much for them. The two girls were grateful and moved, and they really loved Liu Yi. So it is. What more could a concubine ask for? How many men are there in this era who are treated equally by men, who can think about them, and who can respect the willingness of their hearts? Therefore, the two women really died for Liu Yi at this time, and they would not have any complaints.
Both daughters have lived in the Yuan Mansion in Luoyang for a long time, and they are very familiar with everything in the Yuan Mansion.
When they arrived at the original Yuan Mansion with Liu Yi, looking at the new plaque of the Yuan Mansion that Liu Yi asked people to rebuild, the two women were really like a world apart, looking at the two words of Yuan Di, and silently wept.
After entering Yuandi, the two girls immediately began to arrange happily, and put some of the furnishings in Yuan's mansion as well as possible according to their original appearance. Just so that after Yuan Shang comes back, he can still find traces of his previous life in Luoyang Yuan's mansion.
In fact, they all forgot that when Yuan Shang was here in the Yuan Mansion before, he was just a little sensible child, where did he remember what the Yuan Mansion he lived in when he was a child?
Sure enough, when Yuan Shang, who was still wearing shackles, was escorted into Yuan's mansion, he was still at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on.
After a long journey, Yuan Shang looked haggard, and his whole person was out of shape, so thin that a gust of wind seemed to be able to blow him down.
"Don't kneel down when you see Taifu!"
The soldiers who escorted Yuan Shang in saw Liu Yi sitting in the main seat of the hall, and couldn't help but shout at Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang subconsciously knelt down and said resignedly: "Sinner Yuan Shang visits Taifu ......"
"Are you guilty?" Liu Yi asked casually.
"Sin, sinners know, know sins, beg Taifu to be gracious, spare sinners......" Yuan Shang was frightened, crying and begging for mercy.
"Well, you keep saying that you are a sinner, so do you know what sin you have committed?"
"This, this ......"
"Hmph, you don't even know what you've committed? And he still claims to be a sinner? Are you a traitor? Or is it rebellious? ”
"No, no, no......" Yuan Shang heard Liu Yi's question, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground completely, and sobbed: "Taifu forgives my sins, I didn't ......"
"Useless things, yes, no, no, no, the third son of the fourth generation of the Yuan family, when will you be like this? Although your uncle Yuan Shu is not successful, in the face of failure, he still dares to kill himself, and would rather die than be captured and humiliated! It seems that it is wrong to ask Taifu to spare you, and I thought that leaving you a Yuan family incense can continue the glory of the Yuan family, but I didn't expect that you Yuan Shang would be such a crying bag, even your uncle can't compare. Liu couldn't help but scold.
She and Mrs. Zhang were both around Liu Yi, but after Yuan Shang came in, they didn't dare to look up at them, which made Liu angry.
Hearing the rebuke of the female voice, Yuan Shang felt a little familiar again, and couldn't help but look up, and finally saw Liu and Mrs. Zhang clearly.
Suddenly, Yuan Shang grabbed a life-saving straw as if he was drowning, and begged in a lost voice: "Auntie save me!" Auntie save me! ”
"Humph! If it weren't for me begging your aunt to forgive your sins, do you think you would still have the life to come to Luoyang? You look up and see here, where is this? "Liu hates the way that iron does not become steel.
"This, this is ......" Yuan Shang may have some impression, but he really can't remember it for a while, he raised his head and looked around blankly.
"Forget it, come on, untie his shackles." Liu Yi knew that Yuan Shang must have been frightened a lot along the way, so he didn't scare him anymore, and after the soldiers lifted his shackles, Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, settle down first, this is your original Yuan Mansion in Luoyang, of course, it can't be as big and magnificent as before." Only the main part, the gate of Yuan's mansion, and the two courtyards after entering, remained. From now on, you'll be fine, and in the future, you can live a good life with peace of mind. If you want to restore the glory of your Yuan family, find something to do in the future, rely on yourself to support yourself, our new Han Dynasty, do not raise moths. ”
"Huh? This, this...... Didn't Taifu ask the sinners to blame? Yuan Shang couldn't figure out the situation, and said with a relative.
"Forget it, let him be quiet for a while, let's go." Liu Yi didn't bother to explain to him, shook his head, and let the two girls leave.
"Bastard, haven't you ever thanked Taifu for sparing his life? For the sake of your aunt who has called me for so many years, send you two old women to take care of your daily life, and after recuperating for a period of time, you can find something to do for yourself, otherwise, you still can't keep the foundation of the Yuan family that the Taifu gave back to you. Liu stepped forward and scolded Yuan Shang, and left with Liu Yi.
Mrs. Zhang and the Liu family saved Yuan Shang, but they only remembered the little incense with the Yuan family, and after saving Yuan Shang, the Yuan family had nothing to do with them anymore. In fact, the two daughters did not have a good impression of Yuan Shang, because, when they were in the Yuan family, they and Yuan Shang's mother were in a hostile state.
"Thank you, Taifu, thank you, auntie!"
Yuan Shang only reacted when Liu Yi, Mrs. Zhang, and Liu arrived at the main gate, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
Liu Yi grabbed the light waists of the two women, turned around and said: "You can do it yourself, remember, from now on, don't do anything that harms the interests of the New Han Dynasty, otherwise, no one will be able to save you." ”
"Yuan Shang remembers Taifu's teachings!" Yuan Shang knocked his head heavily.
After leaving Yuan's Mansion, Mrs. Zhang and the Liu family did not care about the pedestrians on the street, held Liu Yi's arm tightly from left to right, and said emotionally: "Thank you, husband, the slave family really doesn't know how to repay husband." ”
"We husband and wife don't need to say that kind word anymore, well, it's very simple to repay your husband, you all know it, but now you go home by yourself, it seems that your husband is about to go on a journey." Liu Yi shook his head and said. (To be continued.) )
