Chapter 229: Let them make trouble
For two or three months in a row, every time the court meeting, someone would petition to punish Yuan Xu.
got the review suggestion, Yuan Shao just waited for someone to shout again, and then gave them a dismissal.
The strange thing is that Yuan Shang, Feng Ji and others, who were the hardest working in the past, did not mention Yuan Xu in the court discussion.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou supported Yuan Xu when no one mentioned it, which made the atmosphere quite embarrassing.
"Cao Gong!" Every time it is out of the ranks.
Yuan Shao thought that he would refute Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but Feng Ji said: "Cheng Yu and Zang Ba marched into Qingzhou, and the fifth prince led the army to help but was ambushed by the enemy, and the eldest prince fought for several months and was unable to drive Cao's army out!" Not only that, Cao Cao transferred troops to Liyang, and Liu Yan was busy building a defensive line. ”
Yuan Shao's face gradually became solemn, and Feng Ji continued: "Yu Ban stationed in Yanjin to guard the Yellow River ferry, it can be seen that Cao Cao has the heart to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Gong!" ”
"If Cao Cao was strong, he would have already sent troops to attack a certain one. The deployment of troops is also reasonable. Yuan Shao asked: "Does the public rule have a way to deal with it?" ”
"Liyang and Yanjin are both ways for our army to advance south, and it is difficult for non-fierce generals to deter." Feng Ji said: "A certain thief thought that General Gongji should be sent to Liyang, and General Zi Xi should be sent to Yanjin. ”
Yan Liang and Wen Chou said a lot of words for Yuan Xu, but Feng Ji did not fight-for-tat, but suggested that the two of them lead the troops to the battle.
The two were immediately stunned.
"What do you think?" Yuan Xu asked everyone.
There is nothing wrong with Feng Ji's proposal, although Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others are there, no one comes out to speak.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to give an order, a person walked out.
This person was less than forty years old, with a fair complexion, and a very uncomfortable look in his eyes.
He is none other than Xu You, a staff member under Yuan Shao.
After leaving the ranks, Xu You said: "The two generals confronted the enemy, and there was no objection. Cao Cao marched into Qingzhou. Troops and horses were dispatched to Liyang and Yanjin for defense. I just don't understand, the opportunity to break the enemy is in front of Yuan Gong's eyes, why do you have to divide troops to defend? ”
Raising his hand, Yuan Shao motioned for Xu Yu to continue.
"The Cao army is divided into Qingzhou, Liyang, and Yanjin, and Xuchang must be empty." Xu You said: "If Yuan Gong sends an army to make a detour and raid, he can capture Cao Cao alive!" ”
"Never!" Yuan Shao has not yet spoken. The trial was already out of the queue and said: "Although Cao Cao is dividing troops everywhere, Xuchang is not guarded without soldiers. I'm afraid that the sneak attack will not succeed, but I will be ambushed by the Cao army! ”
Feng Ji took over the conversation: "The defeat of the fifth prince is exactly in Cheng Yu's trap!" Yuan Gong must not act rashly! ”
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "What Zhengnan and the public rule said is reasonable. It is precisely because the enemy is not clear that there is a defeat, and a certain cannot follow in the footsteps. ”
"Yuan Gong......" Xu You wanted to say more, but Yuan Shao stopped him.
"The intention has been decided, and Gongji led 5,000 troops into the White Horse to deter Liu Yan. Zi Xi led 5,000 troops to the north bank of Yanjin. ”
Yuan Shao dispatched troops, but Penglai Island was peaceful.
The troubled times of strife seem to have nothing to do with this place.
In addition to the shouts of the soldiers in the Tianhai camp every day, people rose and rested at sunset. Live a cookie-cutter but very quiet life.
Along the coast, several fishing boats are fishing for marine fish.
Yuan Xu doesn't like fish very much, but living on the island, fish has become the main dish of his every meal.
There is no kettle for cooking dishes on Penglai Island, and there is only a large cauldron in the room.
The small stoves in each house also use small pots made in batches by blacksmiths.
A pot made of pig iron is not lightweight, but it is much lighter than a kettle.
It can be fried, fried, and stir-fried, and the dishes are more diverse and delicious.
The people of the island live a life of abundance and contentment, almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Sitting on the reef and looking out at the blue sea, the sea breeze caressed Yuan Xu's face and lifted the ends of his sideburns.
The sound of the wind and the sound of the waves brings peace away from war.
Gentle footsteps came from behind themselves.
He looked at the sea: "Zhen Ji came to see the sea?" ”
It was Zhen Mi who came. She smiled sweetly: "The sea is tired of watching, and Childe has been sitting here for a long time. The slave family came to accompany and talk. ”
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it after watching it for a long time!"
"Isn't Childe tired of the sea?"
"Not really." Yuan Xu said: "The sea is vast, whenever I sit on the beach, I always feel as if I am being taken into his arms......
"No matter how wide the sea is, how can it be as open-minded as the son?"
"Zhen Ji thinks too highly." Yuan Xu said: "A certain is just a piece of sand in the sea, how can it be compared to the sea?" ”
"In the hearts of the slaves. Childe is the sea. ”
Looking back at Zhen Mi, Yuan Xu found that her cheeks were already flushed.
The wet sea breeze ruffled her hair, her dress fluttered, Zhen Mi was a scenery looking at the sea!
Without speaking, Yuan Xu looked at the choppy sea again.
"Childe!" The two of them were talking. A guard came running fast.
"Duke Yuan sent two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, to Liyang and Yanjin respectively!"
"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!" Yuan Xu said lightly: "Something big is about to happen." ”
"Childe is leaving Penglai?" Zhen Mi asked.
There was a bit of loneliness in her tone.
"The big war has not started, and it is up to them to make trouble." Yuan Xu instructed the guards: "Gather everyone to the council hall!" ”
The guards left in response, and Yuan Xu got up and said, "It's windy on the beach, and Zhen Ji doesn't want to stay here!" ”
Zhen Mi responded and left the beach side by side with Yuan Xu.
The Penglai Council Hall is located in the middle of the building on the island.
There are eight vermilion pillars standing in the hall, which is the only decoration.
Dong Zheng once suggested that this place should be renovated and arranged in a more magnificent way.
Yuan Xu didn't think it was necessary.
Penglai needs a lot of money, and most of the materials needed are purchased from outside.
It is unnecessary to use wealth to create extravagance and style!
Yuan Xu came to the conference hall, and Zhu Gongdao and others were already waiting in the hall.
The martial artists are all there, and Dong Zheng, who controls Penglai's financial resources, will certainly not be missed.
The status of the businessman is low, and before coming to Penglai, Dong Zheng has never participated in the resolution of important matters.
Although it was not the first time he had come to the council chamber, he was still a little nervous.
Yuan Xu entered the hall, and everyone saluted.
"Everyone!" After Yuan Xu sat down, he said to everyone: "The two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, went to Liyang and Yanjin respectively. Cao Yuan's decisive battle is ready to fly! ”
Zhu Gongdao and Ma Fei's faces flashed with expectation.
Tianhai Camp and Night Thorn have practiced for several months, and although the tactical cooperation explained by Yuan Xu is still a little jerky, it can already be brought to the battlefield!
"The Tianhai Battalion and the Night Thorn are stepping up their drills to prepare for the big battle! The defense of Penglai still needs to be consolidated, and the arrow tower and city wall are equipped with arrows, rolling logs, and boulders. There are not enough craftsmen on the island, so blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, and all kinds of craftsmen must be recruited! ”
"Yuan Chu!" Looking at Dong Zheng, Yuan Xu said: "Recruiting craftsmen to expand financial resources, it's hard work!" ”
"I will do it with all my might!"
Dong Zheng was flattered and hurriedly got up to respond.
"When does Childe plan to send troops?" Zhu Gongdao got up and asked.
