Yuan Fu led the remnants of the Yuan clan to the south from Longkang, to the west along the Huaishui after Xia Cai, and then crossed the Huai River from Yangquan into the Lujiang River, and then passed through Anfeng, Lu'an, Longshu, and went straight to Wancheng.

Because of the official document of the county guard carried by Liu Kai, the journey was quite smooth.

The defenders of the counties along the way not only did not stop them, but even provided military rations to the remnants of the Yuan clan, although the quantity was limited, but they really helped Yuan Wei a lot, because the military rations of the remnants of the Yuan clan had already run out.

More than 20 days later, the remnants of the Yuan clan finally entered the north of Anhui City.

Liu Kai rode a horse beside Yuan No, stretched out his hand and pointed to the outline of the city that emerged on the horizon in front of him, and introduced: "Son, please see, the front is Anhui City, Anhui City was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, originally the capital of Anhui State, in the early peace period, Lu Kang moved the county from Shu County to Anhui City to avoid the war, first raised the city wall, and then dug the moat, which is today's weather. ”

Yuan Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the city in front of him from a distance, Yuan He visually measured that the height of the city wall was at least four zhang high.

Four zhang, almost nine meters, this can be regarded as a fortified city in any era.

The only regret is that it is smaller, Yuan Wei visually measured it, the circumference is at most more than ten miles, and the circumference of more than 100 miles of Nanjing City, Beijing City is too far behind.

It can't be compared with the legendary Bianjing, which has a permanent population of more than one million.

However, this is also reasonable, after all, it is still the Han Dynasty, and it is also the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, both manpower and material resources are far from being able to compare with the later Song and Ming dynasties, so it is impossible to build a magnificent city like Beijing and Nanjing, let alone an epic city like Bianjing.

Compared with Nanjing, Beijing, and Bianjing, Wancheng is of course only a small city.

But in this era, Wancheng can be regarded as a big city.

According to Liu Kai, the permanent population of Anhui City alone exceeds 50,000!

There is a Han generation, and the number of mouths exceeds 10,000, even if it is a big county, Shang County, which also means that Anhui City is equivalent to five large counties!

The total population of the entire Lujiang County is only 200,000, which means that nearly a quarter of the population of the entire Lujiang County lives in Anhui City!

This shows the prosperity of industry and commerce in Anhui City!

Yuan Wei suddenly had an extremely strong idea in his heart: take Wancheng!

If you can take this strong city, and then use this strong city as the foundation, recruit displaced people, and accumulate money and food, it may not be impossible to fight a piece of the sky in Huainan, the land of four wars!

However, the thought only flickered and vanished.

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, Yuan no defeated Tai Shi Ci in Xia Cai, and defeated Sun Ce in Long Kang, all of which have great accidental factors, Yuan Que knows his own family affairs, if it weren't for Tai Shi Ci and Sun Ce being too light on the enemy, he Yuan No would not want to win the battle of Xia Cai and Long Kang at all, and the gap in strength between the two sides is huge.

Once Yuan Wei took Wancheng, he immediately became a confidant of the Sun family.

In the face of Sun Ce, who became serious, and Zhou Yu, the leading commander in the Three Kingdoms period, helped him, Yuan Wei really did not have much confidence.

What's more, Wancheng is not so easy to take.

The current Anhui City can be said to be defenseless, and it is not difficult to take it.

However, what about after taking Wancheng? And how to deal with the aftermath?

Liu Xun took care of the old feelings, opened the door to accept, he Yuan was not only not grateful, but met each other, this reputation is only afraid that it will stink out of the wind, not only the entire Lujiang scholars and people will spurn him, but I am afraid that the scholars and people of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty will scold him, and even the old Yuan family is afraid that it will also be centrifuged.

Xu Sheng may not betray him Yuan, but what about Ji Ling and Jin Shang?

Jin Shang spent so much effort to persuade Liu Xun to accept the remnants of the Yuan family, if he Yuan really dared to use the sword soldiers, Jin Shang would ruin the good situation that Jin Shang had fought so hard for, I was afraid that Jin Shang would be disappointed, even if he did not betray the Yuan family immediately, I was afraid that he would be suspicious, in short, don't expect him to work for the Yuan family in the future.

"Childe? Son? Yuan Wei was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard Liu Kai calling him.

"Oh? Liu Changshi called a certain one? Yuan Wei turned his head in a daze and looked at Liu Kai.

Liu Kai stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Son, please look, my brother led the city to welcome you with a full city of civil and military and scholars." ”

Yuan Wei's face changed slightly when he heard this, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw a large group of oxen, horse, carriage and pedestrians, who had already driven out of the north gate of Anhui City.

It is a very grand etiquette to welcome each other.

"Quick, all of you dismount and walk with so-and-so." Yuan Nuo hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and ordered a group of civil and military forces behind him to also dismount, since Liu Xun gave him enough face for Yuan Nuo, he Yuan Nuo naturally had to repay the favor, even if he knew that this was just a superficial article, he must at least make enough articles, right?

The two went on in front of each other, and soon they were close to the front.

Ten steps away, Yuan Nuo threw himself to the ground and said loudly: "Little nephew Yuan Nuo, please see my uncle." ”

Yuan Xun visited Liu Xun with his son and nephew, which not only made Liu Xun stunned, but also made the scholars and officials behind Liu Xun stunned, but he was stunned, but he was close to Yuan Xun.

Jin Shang, who was standing on Liu Xun's body, also breathed a sigh of relief, before the meeting, what he was most worried about was whether the son would be proud of his identity, and regarded Liu Xun as Yuan's retainer, and he would overwhelm people everywhere, so the situation would become extremely complicated, Jin Shang naturally hoped in his heart that Yuan would be able to dominate and enter Lujiang, but this matter could not be rushed.

Liu Xun was just stunned for a moment, and then immediately woke up.

At that moment, Liu Xun hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and stretched out his hand to pick up Yuan Di: "Son, please get up, the minister is ashamed." ”

Yuan Xun visited Liu Xun with a nephew ceremony, but Liu Xun did not dare to really call himself Yuan Xun's uncle, in this way, it would immediately give people a bad impression of being ungrateful and taking advantage of people's danger, Liu Xun did not want to lose to the other party in the first contest with Yuan No, not to mention losing the hearts of the people, and hating the Lujiang clan.

Therefore, Liu Xun still regarded himself as the old department of Yuan Shu and called himself a minister.

Not only that, Liu Xun even asked Liu Wei to send out a letter.

Then Liu Xun held the seal letter and said to Yuan No: "Son, Lujiang was originally the territory of the first lord, and the minister was just a guard, and now that the prince is back, this Lujiang County should also be returned to the original owner." ”

As soon as this move came out, not only the old Yuan clan was surprised, but the Lujiang civil, military and scholar clans present were all stupid.

I have heard that Tao Qiansan asked Xuzhou, but can Liu Xun be the same as Tao Qian? One of the two is in the prime of life, but the other is old and terminally ill, which is the county guard singing?

Liu Kai looked at Liu Xun very incomprehensibly, and wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't dare to make a mistake after all, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan, who were standing behind Liu Xun, also wanted to speak and stopped.

Lujiang civil and military frowned, but a cadre of civil and military generals of the former Zhongjia Dynasty was eager to try.

If it weren't for the fear of bad influence, Yang Hong would have even jumped out to persuade Yuan to accept the letter.

It was Ji Ling, Xu Sheng, Zhang Niuli and other military generals, who also hoped that Yuan would accept the letter.

Because Liu Xun was not wrong, Lujiang County was originally Yuan's territory, and at this time, Liu Xun returned Lujiang County to Yuan, but it was just a matter of course.

Yuan Wei watched coldly, taking in the expressions of the Lujiang civil and military and the scholars.

Seriously, Yuan Wei really wanted to take advantage of the situation to receive Liu Xunyin's letter, and the magpie's nest dove occupied the city of Anhui.

It's just that, looking at the expressions of Liu Kai, the Lujiang civil and military and the scholars, Yuan knew that Liu Xun was still quite popular in Lujiang County, and at this time, even if Liu Xun really wanted to let Lujiang, his subordinates would not agree.

What's more, Liu Xun's move is obviously not really to give up Lujiang, but just a temptation, one to test the minds of Lujiang Wenwu and the scholars, and the other to see if he Yuan has bad intentions.

Although Yuan Wei has only been in this troubled world for a few months, he has been struggling on the death line all the time, so he has grown up very fast, how can he not see through Liu Xun's subtle thoughts?

Yuan Fu's tears came as soon as he said it, and he cried and said, "Uncle did this, but he didn't want his little nephew to enter the city?" If the uncle refuses to take in the little nephew, the little nephew will die forever, and he will ......"

Yuan Wei cried so much that it was sad, it was really sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who saw it.

As soon as Yuan Wei cried, not only Jin Shang and other civil and military generals of the original Zhongjia Dynasty cried, but also many Lujiang civil and military officers and scholars also cried, and Liu Xun also accompanied a few tears.

Liu Xun said a lot of bad things, and finally persuaded Yuan No, and said: "Childe also please mourn, since the son has no mental government, then the matter of the county guard will be handed over later, the minister has prepared a wine feast in the house, and the son will quickly follow the minister into the city to go to the banquet, although there is no mountain and sea food in Anhui City, there is really a lot of fresh game in the lake, and the son must taste it." ”

"Thank you uncle for taking me in, let the little nephew bow down." Yuan Wei slammed to the ground again.

Liu Xun hurriedly picked up Yuan No, and then took Yuan No's hand and boarded his carriage and walked into the city together.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Liu Xun did not clearly say how to settle the remnants of the Yuan family, but Yuan had already grown up in the intrigue with Zhang Xun and the Feng family, how could he not guess Liu Xun's thoughts? At that moment, Yuan ordered Xu Sheng to lead the remnants of the Yuan clan to camp outside the city, and it was strictly forbidden to enter the city without a military order.

Only then did Liu Xun pretend to say that he would let the remnants of the Yuan clan enter the city and station.

But how could Yuan take Liu Xun's words seriously? So I excused myself again and again.

Liu Xun then pushed the boat down the river and agreed to Yuan No, and then ordered Liu Kai to go out of the city with wine and meat to reward the remnants of the Yuan family, and the news spread, and the remnants of the Yuan family immediately cheered.
