Chapter 308: Ordered to go south
Back in Yecheng, Yuan Shao fell seriously ill.
Ma Yi and Han Meng led the army to Penglai, and there was no barrier north of the Yellow River.
Cao's army crossed the river and marched all the way north.
Yuan Shao asked people to call Yuan Xu closer.
Sitting next to Yuan Shao, Yuan Xu comforted softly: "Guandu is just a small defeat, and my father doesn't have to mind." Hebei Wufu is rich in people, and after a few years of recuperation, he can fight Cao Cao again! ”
"I don't know what the Father is saying." Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Thinking back to Guandu, I regret that I shouldn't have accepted the words of Xianxin." ”
"Father doesn't have to think about it." Yuan Xu said: "Cao Cao is coming north, how to resist the enemy is important. ”
"Xianxin!" Grabbing Yuan Xu's hands, Yuan Shao said earnestly: "Can you allow it to be a father?" ”
"Father, please speak!"
"Lead the troops south and defeat Cao Cao!"
Yuan Xu did not respond.
It's not easy to defeat Cao Cao!
Ordered him to go south to defend against the enemy, and he might be able to stop Cao Cao outside Hebei.
Can defeat Cao Cao......
"Resist Cao Cao and give Hebei a chance to breathe!" Finding that Yuan Xu was embarrassed, Yuan Shao turned around and retreated: "Hebei can only rely on Xianxin!" ”
"It's not impossible for a child to go south." Yuan Xu said: "It's just ......"
"Just how?"
"There are no available people around, Cao Jun is coming, it is difficult to resist!"
"It's a pity that Yan Liang and Wen Chou ......" Yuan Shao closed his eyes and sighed.
"The fierce general is ahead, but the leader rushes to kill, and the child who wants is a wise man!"
"Xin Ping and Xin Bi are still in Qingzhou, and they were captured by Cao Jun, and they were judged to be in Yecheng. Feng Ji is useful for his father...... Yuan Shao said: "If you are in the past, you can make Cui Yan, Jiang Qi, Chen Lin, Meng Da and others together." ”
"It's better for you to go along." Yuan Xu said: "It's just that there is one more person." The child wanted to call his side. ”
"Who?"
"Tian Feng!"
"Never!" Speaking of Tian Feng, Yuan Shao suddenly looked angry: "This son has no form." If he forgives his sins, he will be slandered by so-and-so. ”
Yuan Xu didn't insist anymore.
begged Han Meng, Yuan Shao agreed without thinking about it.
When it came to Tian Feng, he reacted so strongly, and no more mention of it would not only be useless, but would make Yuan Shao angry.
"That's what my father said." Yuan Xu said: "The child is not fully thoughtful, and the father should not take it to heart. Recuperate with peace of mind, and wait for the child to return from the south and then fulfill his filial piety! ”
"It's very dangerous to show that you are going here, so be more careful in everything!"
Hold Yuan Xu's hands tightly. Yuan Shao's eyes showed reluctance.
Guandu was defeated, if Yuan Xu hadn't escorted him all the way, he would have been caught up by Cao Jun.
After retreating over the Yellow River and crossing the mountains, there was another rainstorm, and the horses were difficult to travel, so Yuan Xu carried him over the hills.
This son is filial, and everyone present is solemn!
"The child said goodbye to his mother and immediately led the troops to set off." Both hands were held tightly by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Xu said: "Father is very precious. No matter what happens, take care of yourself! ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said no more.
He didn't need to say anything more!
Hebei 100,000 troops, Guandu scattered and fled in the first battle.
Cao Cao claimed to have killed 70,000 people. Judging from the battle report presented to him by Yuan Xu, less than 5,000 people were captured by Cao Jun and killed.
Such a move is nothing more than Cao Cao's desire to disturb the hearts of everyone in Hebei with exaggerated figures!
"Troops were withdrawn on the same day. I heard that there was a big sword general who crossed the Yellow River and blocked Cao's army. Yuan Shao said: "If you can find out who it is." Deservedly rewarded! ”
Of course, Yuan Xu knew that the big sword and the young general was Ma Yi.
The Yuan family in Hebei is already difficult to rely on, in order to survive in the troubled times. He has ordered Penglai to recruit soldiers and horses and train the two battalions of Tianhai and Night Thorn, how can he hand over the power in his hands?
Yuan Shao'an is here, and no one dares to touch him!
Once Yuan Shao died, how would Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang tolerate him?
Penglai will be the foundation of his survival, and even the origin of his competition for the world!
"Remember, child!" In response, Yuan Xu had no intention of ordering Ma Yi to come to receive the reward.
After retiring from Yuan Shao's place, he hurried to Mrs. Zhang's residence.
Looking at his back, Yuan Shao's old eyes were foggy.
Cao Cao attacked the black nest, Yuan Xu had already reminded him but did not accept it, only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to help, and also delayed the dispatch of troops.
Send troops to Wuchao half a day early, or transfer the grain and grass of Wuchao to other places according to the words of frustration, and Guandu will not be defeated so miserably.
was depressed in his heart, and Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
Yuan Xu somewhat understood what happened later.
He knew that after Guandu, Yuan Shao was still safe.
Even if the army goes south, there will still be a day when father and son will reunite.
He didn't expect that this trip would be two years, and when he returned to Yecheng, the father and son were already separated by heaven and earth!
When he came to Mrs. Zhang's residence, Yuan Xu had not yet entered the front yard, and the maid had already entered the house.
The first to run out was not Mrs. Zhang, but a small figure.
When the Battle of Guandu broke out, Yuan Mai was still in infancy.
He hadn't seen him for months, and he was a toddler.
was playing in the courtyard, and the maid entered to report to Mrs. Zhang that Yuan Xu had returned, and Yuan Mai staggered to the main gate for some reason.
The two maids who took care of him followed closely behind, wanting to stop but not daring, only guarding him so as not to fall.
Yuan Mai ran to Yuan Xu and looked up at his brother curiously.
Yuan Xu once hugged him when he was still an infant, and Yuan Mai was too young at that time, so how could he have any memory.
The two maids saw Yuan Xu and hurriedly stopped saluting.
Looking down at Yuan Mai, Yuan Xu grinned toothily and bent down to hug him.
"Xiao Xianyong, do you miss your brother?" Holding Yuan Mai in his arms, Yuan Xu asked with a smile.
Yuan Mai still couldn't understand what he said, and obediently stretched out his little hand to touch his cheek.
Blood is thicker than water, after all, they are brothers of the same father and mother!
Although the memory of his brother is very vague, Yuan Mai can feel the family affection.
Knowing that Yuan Xu was coming, Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to freshen up, opened the door and ran out.
Seeing him standing in the courtyard with Yuan Mai in her arms, Mrs. Zhang said reproachfully: "Why don't you enter the house since you are here?" Just hugging his brother and eating wind in the courtyard, how can he still look like a brother? ”
Holding Yuan Mai, Yuan Xu smiled and saluted: "It has been a few days since the child returned to Yecheng, and he has not had time to meet him because of mundane affairs, so don't blame the mother!" ”
The Yuan family was defeated, and Mrs. Zhang was always worried about Yuan Shao and Yuan Xu.
The father and son returned to Yecheng, and she went to visit Yuan Shao.
learned from Yuan Shao that Yuan Xu had carried him over the mountains on his back, so that he could avoid the pursuit of Cao Jun, and Mrs. Zhang was also comforted.
For many years, Yuan Shao has been unfair to Yuan Xu, especially Zhen Mi, who is obviously biased.
Yuan Xu has no complaints, and he still does not forget filial piety when disaster comes!
gave birth to a child like this, and Mrs. Zhang no longer had any demands.
I was going to see Yuan Xu, but I had to reproach him no matter what, and asked him to be more attentive in the future, and not to be reckless.
The moment she saw Yuan Xu, as a mother, she was messy.
Before the words of reproach came out, the tears couldn't stop falling! (To be continued.) )
