Chapter 57: Nesting

Liu Xun held a feast in the county guard mansion and feasted Yuan Wei and a cadre of civil and military generals of the Yuan family.

During the banquet, Liu Xun introduced to Yuan Nuo the Lujiang civil and military and the celebrities of the scholar clan present.

When it was Qiao Xuan's turn, Yuan Xuan deliberately toasted a few more bottles of wine, and Yuan Xuan already knew from Jin Shang that Qiao Xuan had made a lot of efforts to welcome Yuan's old department to Lujiang.

Of course, Yuan Wei deliberately got close to Qiao Xuan, but he had other intentions.

If the history books didn't joke with him, if there was no second Qiao Xuan in Wancheng, then this Qiao Xuan should be the father of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and the future Qiao Guo will be old!

Of course, now that he has Yuan No, whether Qiao Xuan will still become the Qiao Guolao of Eastern Wu is a matter of two words.

However, after paying tribute to all the Lujiang civil and military and celebrities present, Liu Ye was the only one who was missing.

At that moment, Yuan asked Liu Xun: "I heard that there is a master under my uncle's account, named Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, but why is he not there?" ”

Liu Xun said: "Ziyang broke his leg the day before yesterday and was inconvenient to walk, so he didn't come to the banquet. ”

"No, no, that's not what the little nephew meant." Yuan Wei hurriedly said, "Since Mr. Ziyang's legs and feet are inconvenient, the little nephew should come to visit, how can he let Mr. come." ”

Speaking of Liu Ye, Liu Xun thought of what Liu Ye said.

Yuan No, jackals also, accepting Yuan No is to lure wolves into the room!

Liu Xun looked up at Yuan No, who was smiling and toasting to Lujiang Wenwu, but now, this jackal has entered Lujiang County, but he still has to think of a way to drive him to the nest and act as a barrier in Anhui City.

At that moment, Liu Xun knelt down on the table with the wine bottle and said, "Everyone, be quiet. ”

The laughter in the hall stopped for a moment, including Yuan No, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Xun.

Liu Xun's eyes fell on Yuan Fu's body, and said solemnly: "The minister originally wanted to give Lujiang to Gongzi, but Gongzi didn't obey, since Gongzi didn't want to take the whole county of Lujiang, Anhui City had to take it, and now Gongzi only has a lonely and poor guest army, and Wancheng is rich, just used to raise soldiers. ”

As soon as Liu Xun said this, the entire hall immediately became silent.

Sitting at the head on the right, a cadre of civil officials and military generals of the former Zhongjia Dynasty were all excited.

Simple-minded generals like Zhang Niucalf have already praised Liu Xun's benevolence and righteousness in their hearts.

The Lujiang civil and military forces and the celebrities of the scholar clan sitting at the head of the left all looked at each other, they never thought that Liu Xun had just tried to sell Lujiang County outside the city without success, and he actually let Wancheng Yu Yuan on the banquet, what was the situation? Could it be that Liu Xun is serious, does he really plan to give up Wancheng to Yu Gongzi?

For a moment, even Yuan Que believed that Liu Xun was really sincere in giving way to the city.

However, when Yuan Fu's gaze inadvertently swept over the Lujiang civil and military forces opposite, especially when he found that the Lujiang military generals on the opposite side were looking at him coldly, and there was a posture that he would turn his face immediately once he nodded, he immediately reacted, Ni Mei, Liu Xun is really endless?

However, when he asked for the seal letter outside the city, Yuan could guess Liu Xun's intentions.

But now, Yuan Wei really can't guess Liu Xun's intentions, what does Liu Xun want to do?

At that moment, Yuan Wei knelt down and sat up from the seat, and bowed to Liu Xun and said: "If my uncle has to let Wancheng Yu Xiao Nephew, he is not compatible with Xiao Nephew, and Xiao Nephew has no other choice but to leave." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Wei got up from the seat and turned around to leave.

Liu Xun hurriedly got up and said, "The son thinks too much, but the minister's move is sincere. ”

Sincerely, the ghost? Yuan Wei sneered in his heart and insisted: "In this way, the little nephew can only retire." ”

"Childe, let's live! Childe and live. Liu Xun hurriedly stopped, and said, "Since Gongzi doesn't want to take Wancheng to raise troops, then Gongzi might as well choose any city in Lujiang to raise troops, but this can no longer be refused." ”

Liu Xun's voice fell, and someone in the civil and military forces of Lujiang sat up and said: "Lord, less than a hundred miles east of Anhui City, there is a nest city that can be stationed in soldiers. ”

Yuan Wei vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be Liu Xun's subordinate, Liu Wei.

"Nest City?" Liu Xun frowned and said, "Is the city a little smaller?" ”

"Although Juchao City is small, the city is strong, and it is not much better than Anhui City." Liu Wei said again, "What's more, the fertile fields outside the nest city are thousands of miles, if people can reclaim them, thousands of hectares of fertile land can be obtained at their fingertips, which is enough to raise soldiers." ”

Liu Xun looked at Yuan No, and seemed to hesitate: "Juchao, can you do it?" ”

Seeing Liu Xun's uncle and nephew singing and harmonizing there, Yuan Fu reacted.

Ni Mei's, Xiang Rang Wancheng was originally an introduction, the purpose was to lead out of the nest.

Before coming to Lujiang, Yuan Wei had repeatedly seen the topography map of Lujiang, Juchao is located in the east of Anhui City, if Sun Ce wants to attack Anhui City, whether starting from Niuzhu or going south from Huainan County, whether it is an infantry army or a naval army, it must pass through Juchao City, if you don't take Juchao first, then the Jiangdong Army is in danger of being intercepted by the back road.

Liu Xun is really calculating, this is to use the remnants of the Yuan family as a barrier to Anhui City!

But then again, this is also the proper meaning of the question, even a humble gentleman like Tao Qian, didn't he also place Liu Bei's troops in Xiaopei as a front barrier against Cao's army?

Jin Shang, who was sitting under Yuan No, also reacted, and gave Yuan No a look again and again.

Yuan Wei knew what Jin Shang meant, and Jin Shang asked him not to agree, but Yuan Wei had other plans.

At that moment, Yuan Wei said to Liu Xun: "Uncle doesn't need to worry too much, the little nephew and others have a place to stay." ”

"In this way, Childe will go to the nest and settle down for the time being." Liu Xun is no longer polite, and this matter is decided.

Yuan Wei noticed that Jin Shang seemed to have something to say, so he excused himself to go to the toilet and left the table, and Jin Shang really followed.

At the door of the hut, Jin Shang caught up with Yuan Wei and complained: "Childe, you really shouldn't have agreed just now." ”

Yuan Wei smiled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Jin Shang smiled bitterly: "Gongzi should have seen the topography map of Lujiang County, don't you know that Juchao is the eastern barrier of Anhui City, if the Jiangdong Army comes to attack in a big way, it will inevitably pass through Juchao, Liu Xun didn't have a good heart in this move." ”

"Don't you know?" Yuan Wei smiled, and then asked Jin Shang, "But, Yuan Xiugong, do we have a choice?" ”

Jin Shang was speechless, yes, the remnants of the Yuan clan are desperate to vote, and it is already a blessing for Liu Xun to take him in, how can they have the right to choose the place where the troops are stationed?

Yuan Wei smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, garrisoning the nest also has the advantage of garrisoning the nest, not to mention anything else, the scholars of Anhui City alone will be grateful to us, no matter what, we are guarding the portal for them, you say, right?" ”

Yuan No's voice fell, and two voices came from behind the corner of the corridor in front of him, one said: "Yuan Shu's usurpation of the title of emperor is really a big rebellion, but Gongzi is a sensible person, after inheriting the throne, not only removed the title of Emperor of the Zhong Family, but also asked the court for guilt, which can be said to be well understood." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Another voice echoed, "I didn't believe it much before, but this time I saw Gongzi, and I knew that Gongzi was really humble and simple, and what is even more rare is that Gongzi is still very good at using soldiers. ”

The footsteps were approaching, and Yuan Fu and Jin Shang didn't want to meet the two of them, so they walked from the other side.

Before entering the hall, Jin Shang suddenly sighed and said, "Son, the old minister doesn't know now whether it was right or wrong to come to Lujiang this time. ”

If Yuan Wei heard this, he glanced at Jin Shang meaningfully, and even Jin Shang was shaken by his belief in coming to Lujiang, but this is a good phenomenon, if even Jin Shang changed his mind and agreed to go to Hebei to join Yuan Shao, it would undoubtedly affect many people, and if he went to Hebei again, the resistance would be much smaller.

The next day, Ji Ling led the remnants of the Yuan clan to Juchao to the troops first.

Yuan Fu was left in Anhui City by Liu Xun, and held a feast for three consecutive days, and was extremely hospitable.

On the fourth day, Yuan Wei was finally free, and the light car Jian came to Liu's Mansion to meet Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's leg injury has improved greatly, and he received Yuan Fu in the side hall.

After saluting, Liu Ye shook his head and said: "If you are not good at doing it, you will be rude, and I hope that the son will forgive me." ”

"Sir's words are serious, how can such and such a pedantic person be?" Yuan Wei waved his hand and said, "There is a doctor under a certain account, and his medical skills are quite exquisite, and tomorrow he will be ordered to come to treat my husband's leg disease." ”

"But it doesn't have to." Liu Ye said lightly, "The leg disease in the lower part is almost better." ”

Yuan Nuo was speechless for a while, on the surface, although Liu Ye was gentle and humble, Yuan Nuo felt the alienation of the other party from his bones, yes, it was alienation, Liu Ye didn't seem to want to communicate with him too much at all.

This discovery made Yuan Wei feel a strong sense of frustration, it seems that his charm is still not enough, not enough to attract a master like Liu Ye to come to him.

But that's normal.

At present, he has no more than a few thousand soldiers, no more than Ji Ling and Xu Sheng, and there is not an inch of territory, so he has to send people under the fence, what can he do to attract a master like Liu Ye?

The charm of the master is not something that can be had by talking about it, but it has to be built up by real strength.

Let's just say that Cao Cao, although he was from a bad background and belonged to the eunuchs, but when he fought to destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and won more than 300,000 soldiers, Gao Shi such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu came to vote one after another.

Although Yuan Fu plagiarized a few poems and published some high opinions on music and rhythm, he was unable to convince Liu Ye, and finally couldn't find any topic, so he had to get up and leave.

After leaving Liu's Mansion, Yuan Wei inevitably felt a little lost in his heart, first there was Tai Shici, and now he added Liu Ye, it is really not easy to get the allegiance of these fierce generals and celebrities.
