"Daddy, Hu'er misses you so much!"

With a childish child's voice, a mother and son stepped down from the carriage. The child is lively and cute, and the woman is virtuous and generous, it is Zhang Liao's wife Yang and son Zhang Hu.

A few days ago, the people who were sent by Yuan Mai were brought to Huaixian, along with Zhang Liao's two brothers and his father, who was over the age of six. Yuan Mai chose a large-scale mansion to house Zhang Liao's family and let them live in the city. In order to surprise Zhang Liao, Yang and Zhang Hu were specially brought out of the city to welcome him today.

Seeing his son who had been separated for six or seven months, Zhang Liao was also very happy, although in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, he still showed his father's love, squatted down and opened his arms, and said with a kind smile: "Oh, my little tiger, my father misses you too!" ”

Zhang Hu cheered, threw himself into Zhang Liao's arms, and pecked at the rice on his cold face like a chicken pecking rice for more than a dozen times before giving up.

Looking at the warm scene of the father and son in the ice and snow, Yuan Mai was envious, and suddenly wanted to have a son and enjoy such family fun. Fortunately, Helan is five months pregnant, and when the flowers bloom in the spring of next year, her first child will be able to "quack" to land.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mai was very happy in his heart, and he felt the love between Zhang Liao's father and son. I believe that one day, when I reunite with my long-lost son, it will definitely be such a scene.

For countless nights, Yuan Mai analyzed over and over again when he couldn't sleep, thinking about the reasons behind the success of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, a generation of overlords? came to a conclusion that the reason why these heroes were able to achieve the cause of kingship. In addition to their own outstanding ability, there is another reason for ascending to the Ninety-Five, that is, the support of their relatives and brothers!

In the case of Cao Mengde, at least half of his success is due to the strong support of his family. Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and other talented and fierce generals, one by one, were Cao Cao's right-hand men and became Cao Wei's ministers of the humerus.

In addition to their outstanding ability, another sign of these people is loyalty, their heads can be broken, and blood can be shed, even if they go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire. will never betray Cao Cao. can make Cao Cao give them absolute trust. It is with these absolutely reliable brothers that Cao Cao, who is strategic and ambitious, has been strengthened like a tiger and laid a foundation for future generations.

Look back at yourself. Even his own father Yuan Shao. Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel a trace of shame in his heart.

The Yuan family is called the fourth and third princes in vain. Famous and noble, but in terms of talent and loyalty, it can't be compared with the Cao family at all. Scheming father Yuan Shao. The arrogance is beyond measure, and even a little mentally retarded second uncle Yuan Shu, in the early days of the troubled times, one south and one north, two heroes confronted, what kind of scenery?

However, the two brothers not only could not work together to support each other, but instead tore down each other's walls and abused each other. You regard me as a thorn in the eye, I use you as a thorn in the flesh, and we want to get rid of each other quickly, and finally end up in a defeat, to the point of dying with hatred, and becoming a laughing stock for thousands of years.

If the two brothers could support each other and advance and retreat together like the people of the Cao family, maybe there would not be the situation of the Three Kingdoms later, and maybe the emperor after the change of dynasty would be surnamed Yuan. It's a pity that the brothers were on the wall, and the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes was finally wiped out because of the discord between the brothers in this competition.

A generation of wealthy families, with scattered talents, gradually withdrew from the historical stage, how can you not sigh?

When it comes to the next generation of Yuan Shao's brothers, Yuan Shao's sons still haven't learned their lesson. After Yuan Shao's death, the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan competed with each other, and Cao Cao took advantage of the fisherman's profits, and quickly pacified the four states and became the overlord of the north. And the three Yuan brothers all ended up in different places, and it cannot be said that this is a tragedy of brotherly rivalry.

Whenever he thinks of this, Yuan Mai can't help but laugh at himself, and mutters in his heart, maybe the people of the Yuan family have the gene of infighting from their bones! Otherwise, why didn't a soul from 2,000 years later learn a lesson, but instead let an honest and cowardly scholar become a cold-blooded murderer who killed his brother?

However, Yuan Mai only sighed, but did not regret it. I repeatedly told myself in my heart that the reason why I killed Yuan Xi was not only to compete for "Luoshen" Zhen Mi, but more importantly, to compete for the hegemony of the world.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are brothers, in the future, he and Yuan Shang will fight for power, Yuan Xi will inevitably stand on Yuan Shang's side, even if he has no ambition and is obedient, he will only surrender at the feet of Yuan Shang, with the cruel means of their mother and son, he will not let himself live!

After becoming the king and defeating the king, Yuan Mai had no way out, so he could only take risks and send Yuan Xi to the road of no return.

It has always been clear in Yuan Mai's heart that he is a traverser, and he and the three Yuan brothers are not real brothers, so he doesn't mind using their heads to pave his own road to hegemony.

On the one hand, he had to fight to the death with his brothers, and on the other hand, in Yuan Mai's heart, he was so eager to have a few absolutely reliable and blood-related talents to help him achieve hegemony. Just like him Cao Mengde, he raised his arms and shouted, and his brother responded, how could he not be enviable?

Liu Bei does not have the innate advantage of Cao Cao, and does not have the help of so many reliable and strong clansmen, but with his own pair of fiery eyes and super acting skills, he fooled two super generals who are not brothers but are better than brothers. Zhuge Kongming, who was passed down with his wit, did his best to die, not only losing his own life, but also taking the lives of his son and grandson......

From this point of view, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are both a generation of heroes, Liu Bei is also worthy of Cao Cao's opponents, he can create an original way to fight against Cao Cao's clansmen, and he can be regarded as a smart person!

And another powerful Sun Quan in Jiangdong, although not as good as Cao and Liu's two heroes, but they have the strengths of both, both their brother Sun Ce Chuan is located in himself, and he has the help of his brother Sun Yi, clansmen Sun Huan, Sun Jing, Sun Deng and others, although their ability is slightly inferior to the Cao family's clansmen, but they have unquestionable loyalty.

Without reliable brother assistance, Yuan Mai also thought of fooling a few people into worshipping as brothers of the opposite sex like Liu Bei, and let them work for him. But after thinking about it, Yuan Mai finally gave up this plan.

is not Liu Bei, he doesn't have that kind of acting skills, and he doesn't have Liu Bei's thinking, so it's unknown whether he can fool people; What's more, people like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang in this world who are both talented and loyal are really rare and hard to find.

Since there is no reliable brother like Cao Cao, and he can't buy people's hearts like Liu Bei, Yuan Mai decided to take a different path, that is, to cultivate his son, not to mention how talented the descendants are, but Yuan Mai believes that at least there is no need to worry about loyalty!

It is based on this idea that Yuan Mai collected the harem widely and spread its branches. I believe that we can use excellent genes to give birth to offspring that are not inferior to Cao Pi and Cao Zhang.

For example, just like Lu Lingqi, will the son born to be like his grandfather, born with divine power and good martial arts? For example, just like Zhao Zhi, she is Zhao Yun's sister, as the saying goes, nephews follow uncles, I don't know if the children born will be like uncles, wise and brave?

Yuan Mai didn't know the answer, but he was full of expectations and had high hopes for his children. Perhaps, the country needs to fight by itself, but in the end it is up to the sons to sit, which shows how important it is to have more capable sons to consolidate the country!

"Madam, after half a year, you have suffered!" Zhang Liao put down his son Zhang Hu, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his wife Yang's eyes, and comforted him softly.

Yang's Pingting smiled and said softly: "With the company of the child, the concubine is not bitter at all, but the husband is alone, and he has been haggard a lot in the past six months." ”

The conversation between Zhang Liao and his wife pulled Yuan Mai back from his chaotic thoughts, and said loudly: "It's freezing outside, let's go back to the city to talk." I have ordered a sumptuous feast to be prepared, and we will talk while we eat. ”

At that moment, Yuan Mai and Zhang Liao rode together, Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Wang Shuang, Zhuge Jin and others followed, and the group turned their horses' heads and entered the county seat of Huaixian.

The 7,000 foot soldiers and 1,500 tiger horsemen also returned to their camps to recuperate, ready to receive a reward later, and drink a large bowl of wine to warm their bodies.

The 4,000 horses were in charge of a special team, which was driven into the large newly built stables, fed with forage, and waited for a few days to train in formation and form a new cavalry team.

The banquet room of "Pingxi General's Mansion" is full of singing and dancing, and it is happy.

During the banquet, in addition to Yuan Mai and his staff generals, he specially sent someone to invite Zhang Liao's old father and eldest brother Zhang Qian to the banquet. This made Zhang Liao grateful, and the feeling of "death for the confidant" lingered in his heart and lingered.

After the feast dispersed, Yuan Mai returned to the bedroom, and saw that Lu Lingqi was still a little sullen, and said with a full burp: "Is Madam still lingering?" In that case, I will give you a gift tomorrow to ensure that Madame's mood is cleared! ”

"If you don't believe me, what gift can you have? Didn't you come up with some weird way to torture people? Lu Lingqi looked vigilant and couldn't believe Yuan Mai's words.

Early the next morning, Yuan Mai took Lu Lingqi to the stable, pointed to the three horses offered by Zhang Liao and Wang Shuang, and said: "Madame is sassy and heroic, without a good horse to accompany her, wouldn't it be a big spoil to the scenery, there are three good horses today, let Madame choose one!"
