"Husband, husband...... You want to avenge Xi'er! ”

Yuan Shao was in a trance, and his wife Liu pushed the door and walked in, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

"Madame, why are you doing this? Hurry up! Yuan Shao glanced at Liu who was kneeling in front of the bookcase irritably, and walked over to pull her up.

"If the husband doesn't agree to me, the concubine won't be able to kneel for a long time!" Liu Shi threw on the ground and refused to get up.

"What's the matter, you say it quickly?" Yuan Shao asked distraughtly.

Mrs. Liu Jiao is ten years younger than him, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-eight years old this year, although she is nearly middle-aged, she is skilled in maintenance, her charm still exists, plus she is scheming, she is good at figuring out Yuan Shao's meaning, and she gave birth to Yuan Shao's favorite son Yuan Shang, so Yuan Shao is still very fond of her, the right wife.

Liu sobbed on the ground, wiped his tears and said: "There are rumors that Xi'er's death was not due to the sword of the Huns, but related to Liyi and Yuan Mai, and the husband should avenge my son, Xi'er died unjustly......"

Yuan Shao's face twitched slightly, and he said with a cold face: "Nonsense, the one who told you?" I'm going to bring him in for questioning! ”

Looking at Yuan Shao's unkind face, Liu said: "There are rumors in the market, which one is the husband going to catch?" If the rewards and punishments are unclear, how to convince the people of the world and the courtiers? ”

"Didn't Mai'er's recital write on it, Jiao Touch conspiracy to collude with the Huns, trying to try Yanmen, first ambushing Xianyong in front, and assassinating Xi'er in the back. Jiao Touch is dead, and if you want to avenge Xi'er, you should kill all the Huns. I will send a large army to defeat the Xiongnu and avenge Xi'er! Yuan Shao dragged Liu up without saying anything.

Liu still refused to give up: "This piece was written by Yuan Mai, the pen is in his hand, he can write how he wants, how can he let him reverse black and white, the concubine thinks that if you want to block the mouth of the world, you should recall Yuan Mai to Yecheng and make it clear." Otherwise, no matter what. I don't believe what the cantata says. ”

"Mai'er is here to supervise the army and Yiyi. The responsibility is heavy, how can it be easily recalled? Besides, he will come back sooner or later, so why rush it? When he returns. I'll ask myself. Yuan Shao sat down in the chair again. took a sip of tea.

It seems that Yuan Shao is determined to defend Yuan Mai. Or in order to maintain the face of the Yuan family, he would rather sacrifice the truth. For the sake of his son Yuan Shang's future, Liu cried again and admonished: "Even if Yuan Mai and Koji are not recalled. The concubine also believed that the military power of Yanmen should not be handed over to them. If it was really the two of them who killed Xi'er, if they dare to harm their brother today, they will dare to turn against your father tomorrow. ”

Listening to Liu's words, Yuan Shao's face was heavy, his heart was shocked, and he nodded: "You step down, I have my own measure in this matter." Sooner or later, it will come to light, as for whether the military power should be handed over to Xianyong and Liyi, let me think twice! ”

It seemed that Yuan Shao couldn't be persuaded for a while, so Liu had no choice but to retreat, and when he went out, he cried loudly: "Xi'er, you died unjustly, sooner or later, my mother will find out the murderer, break your bones and ashes, and avenge you." ”

After Liu left, Yuan Shao sat in front of the bookcase and was distraught, and his mood could not be calm for a long time. Thinking about what Liu said is very reasonable, if the killing of Yuan Xi is really done by this young son, then his courage is really big enough, since he dares to kill Yuan Xi, maybe one day he will dare to turn against himself, is this still the cowardly young son before?

At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside, and a weak voice said, "The concubine asks to see!" ”

Listening to the voice, Yuan Shao knew that the most favored concubine Zheng was coming, and asked with vigor, "What's the matter?" Come in and talk! ”

The door was pushed open, and it was really Zheng's, I saw that he was dressed in plain makeup, dressed Chu Chu moving, and after entering the door, Ying Ying saluted: "The concubine has seen her husband!" ”

Yuan Shao put away his irritable thoughts, and asked with a pleasant face: "Why did the concubine come?" ”

"Xi'er died, the concubine was very sad, and she felt the same way as her husband. But I heard that there were many rumors in the market, and the finger was pointed at Mai'er, so the concubine dared to defend him. Zheng stood aside and said without humility or arrogance.

Yuan Mai showed a wry smile, just left a person who asked to investigate Yuan Mai, and immediately another one came to intercede for him, this son is really not simple, "You tell me your reason?" ”

"Knowing your son Mo Ruo's father, Yuan Mai is your son and grew up beside you. I think, no one knows him better than you, this child has a cowardly personality since he was a child, has no quarrel with others, and is obedient, how can he hurt others, and he is still his brother? In any case, the concubine body does not believe it! Zheng swore that he was not here to relieve Yuan, but from the bottom of his heart he didn't believe that he did it.

The concubine thought that someone must be jealous of Mai'er's military power, so she took advantage of Xi'er's death to pour dirty water on Xianyong's body. Xi'er's death is sad, but the husband can't listen to the villain's slander and wronged Mai'er! Saying that, tears rained down and knelt down in front of Yuan Shao.

After listening to Zheng's words, Yuan Shao felt that there was some truth again, and began to sway from side to side again. What kind of character this son is, what kind of guts, the father knows better than anyone. Although his changes during this time are surprising, Yuan Shao still can't believe that he can murder his brother viciously, you know, this son used to step on a few insects, and he felt that it was a sin!

"Stand down, I have my own ideas on this matter. will neither let Xi'er die miserably in vain, nor will she wrongfully buy a child. Yuan Shao waved his hand to signal Zheng to retreat, although he said that he had an idea, he was hesitant in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

"The concubine retires!" Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't need to sleep by himself, and thought that a son had died, he must have felt uncomfortable and withdrew from the study with interest.

The next day, Yuan Shao gave an order to bury Yuan Xi in a grand manner, and the civil and military forces of the city saw him off. Under Yuan Shao's harmony, this matter came to an end for the time being.

However, Liu's words always lingered in Yuan Shao's heart, making him feel that before he found out about this matter, he should not let Yuan Mai's military power sit large. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan brothers, although they fought openly and secretly, but they were only intrigues, and they had not yet reached the point of fighting for their lives.

According to the spies, Cao Cao had gathered a large army to the east to conquer Lü Bu, and the troops in Chenliu, Xuchang and other places were empty, and the defensive pressure in the south no longer existed. Besides, his son was killed by the Huns, even if it was to save face, Yuan Shao should have said something.

So he ordered Zhang He, who was stationed in Baima and Yanjin, to lead 20,000 horses to the west, go out of the party, and attack the Xiongnu Youxian King to go to the Bei tribe. Then go north along the Luliang Mountains, reach the Yanmen area, and the 20,000 horses that were originally subordinate to Liyi, with Zhang He as the commander, and then raid westward, drive the Huns out of the Central Plains, and drive them to the Hexi area.

Zhang He received the order, and immediately pulled out the camp to the west, crossed Luoshui, crossed Hanoi, went out of the party, ran to the Xi River, and looked for the main decisive battle of the Xiongnu Youxian King Qubei.

Yuan Shao sent another piece of paper to Yanmen, announcing the appointment of Zhang He as the commander-in-chief. Before the arrival of Zhang He's troops, Lu Yi temporarily served as the main general, Yuan Mai served as the supervising army, and Tian Feng served as the army, temporarily taking charge of this team, and when Zhang He led the troops to arrive, he would hand over the military power, seals, and charms to Zhang He.

"Alas...... It's really a busy job, I made a wedding dress for Zhang He in vain, I am really unwilling! ”

Lu Yi received the frustration on his face when he received the text, and said to Yuan Mai: "It seems that the lord not only does not trust a certain person, but also has some doubts about the son, otherwise, why let Zhang He travel thousands of miles to Yanmen to take over the military power?" Wouldn't it be easy to directly appoint Gongzi or Yi as the main general! ”

"Huh...... General Shutong doesn't have to be melancholy, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we will act when the opportunity arises! ”

Yuan Mai was not only not depressed, but secretly happy in his heart, since he came to this world, he has been worried about how to hook up with Zhang He, the good general in the world, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to take the initiative to send him to the door, which is really a big windfall.

Although he has no affiliation with Zhang He, as long as he has been in contact for a long time, he has a thirsty spirit, and combined with the advantages of his own traverser, he will hope to receive Zhang He under his command. As long as Zhang He, who is outstanding in martial arts and has a good army, receives his command, he will definitely make his strength like a tiger, and he will no longer be afraid of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan brothers, so that he has the capital to compete for the overlord of Hebei.
