Chapter 26 Know yourself and know your enemy

Yuan Mai left his small courtyard and did not rush out of the house, but went to say goodbye to Yuan Shao first.

As a father and boss, Yuan Mai thinks that it is necessary for him to say goodbye, and more importantly, he wants to find out Yuan Shao's tone, what kind of attitude does he have towards the attack on Daijun? Is it to fight to the death at the risk of everything, or to feint?

Also, if you can't beat Dai County within half a year, how should you deal with Koji Yi, or even Tian Feng?

Yuan Shao gave such an order in front of everyone at that time: if he couldn't conquer Daijun, he would let Lu Yi come to see him, and he also took Tian Feng by the way.

Of course, in Yuan Mai's heart, he definitely never had the idea of killing these two people. At present, only these two people are the most likely to win over the civil and military staff under Yuan Shao as his supporters, how could Yuan Mai kill them?

However, even if he didn't kill these two people, Yuan Mai thought it was necessary for him to find out what his father's attitude was towards these two people, and when he acted and reported in the future, he would follow Yuan Shao's thoughts and pay attention to the wording, so as not to anger Yuan Shao, so as not only would he not be able to cultivate his own power, but he would also put his head on his head if he didn't do it well.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Now I am not only not fledgling, but I can even say that I am a chick who has just "croaked" to the ground, and I have to be more careful and cautious in everything I do, and if I am not careful, I will cause death.

If he had the power of Yuan Tan or Gao Gan now, he would still care about the mother's thirty-seven twenty-one, no matter what matchmaker you say, and the order of your parents, you would have forcibly married Zhen Mi a long time ago.

What did you Yuan Benchu think, don't let your son fall in love freely? No, let's meet each other!

However, the reality is cruel, in the past two days, he has taken shit luck, and he has obtained an official position by plagiarizing other people's poems, and his own soldiers have just recruited 500 people, and there is only one general, Hao Zhao, why should he argue with Yuan Shao?

Yuan Mai doesn't know whether he is a junjie or not, but he knows the current affairs very well, so he can only wait for the opportunity with peace of mind.

In the study, three incense sticks are burned, and cigarettes are curled to refresh the mind.

The daily meeting in the governor's mansion had just ended, and Yuan Shao was reviewing the recitals in the study at the moment. Recently, Xuzhou has been in turmoil, and spies from all walks of life have continuously sent information to his eyes, and Yuan Shao has been looking at them one by one, speculating about what the situation in Xuzhou will look like next.

Yuan Mai entered the house and saluted, saying that he was going to move out of the mansion to live in the barracks today, and he came to say goodbye.

After listening to this, Yuan Shao closed the paperwork in his hand, and said a few words of encouragement with a pleasant face, encouraging Yuan Mai to work hard and not to lose the reputation of the Yuan family's ancestors.

Yuan Mai looked like he was in his chest, and said that although his father can rest assured, the child must remember your teachings, and within half a year, he will promise to urge Liyi to take Daijun.

Yuan Shao shook his head, looking disapproving: "Do you think that my father is really counting on Lu Yi to fight Daijun?" I'm just letting Koji Yi contain Gongsun Chan, and let Gongsun Chan be tired of coping and shift his focus to the Western Front. When I find the right opportunity, I will launch a full-front attack on Youzhou from the front, and strive to destroy Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop. ”

Yuan Shao's words did not surprise Yuan Mai, Yuan Mai also knew that Tian Yu, who guarded Dai County, was the number one person under Gongsun Zhan, although Li Yi was good at using troops, but he attacked more with less, and the city was high and thick, not to mention half a year, even a hundred years, it was impossible to take Dai County.

The ancients said that the besiegers were at least six times more than the defenders, otherwise they could only rely on intrigue or civil strife in the city. If the army is weaker than the defender and wants to break the city, how is it different from a fool's dream?

Yuan Shao is not a fool, with 10,000 remnants of soldiers, it is simply a fool's dream to take Daijun, as a prince, it is impossible for him not to understand this truth.

And the reason why Yuan Mai patted his chest just now and packed the ticket was just to make his words more high-sounding. I didn't think that Yuan Shao would really ask him to capture Daijun.

"But the military order is like a mountain, if you can't take Daijun within half a year, how to deal with Koji and Tian Feng?"

Yuan Mai made a worried look and asked tentatively. threw out the most important question in his heart, whether Yuan Shao wanted to kill these two thorns, and if he wanted to kill them, when did he plan to do it?

Listening to his son's words, Yuan Shao frowned, thought for a moment, and wrote the word "kill" heavily on the paper with the brush in his hand.

"This guy is arrogant and rude, and he is in the twilight, if it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Chan is hindered in the north, I wouldn't have allowed him a long time ago. When Gongsun Chan is destroyed, I will show him to the public as an example. This Tian Feng is also a disgusting thing, but he has a bit of a brain, it's a pity to kill, and he often makes me angry if he doesn't kill him, so he asked him to roll away for me, out of sight and out of mind. ”

"No, the child understands, I know what to do. Rest assured, my father, the child will closely monitor the every move of these two people, and if there is any trouble, I will send someone to report it to my father quickly. ”

Yuan Shao's words finally made Yuan Mai understand his attitude towards Liyi and Tian Feng: Liyi must be killed, but he must wait until Gongsun Chan is killed. Maybe Yuan Shao still remembers the "White Horse Righteousness" of Liyi who broke Gongsun Chan back then, and subconsciously regarded Koji Yi as an important chess piece to eliminate Gongsun Chan.

When Gongsun Zhan, the "flying bird", landed, it was when the "good bow" of Koji Yi broke. This is also in line with the development of history, it seems that Yuan Shao's arrogance towards Koji Yi has long been unbearable, and it has not changed because of his own crossing.

As for Tian Feng, for Yuan Shao, it is a piece of "chicken ribs", which is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. Although he is talented, he is as temperamental as a donkey, Yuan Shao doesn't like such people, but he feels a pity to kill him, so he asks him to do something far away, out of sight and out of mind.

Knowing Yuan Shao's thoughts, Yuan Mai was not worried, and he was confident that he could dance between Yuan Shao, Liyi and Tian Feng, and slowly enveloped these two people as his henchmen without angering Yuan Shao.

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Yuan Shao expressed his satisfaction, and at the end, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he said firmly: "If Lu Yi has any malicious actions, Xianyong will correct the law on the spot, and there is no need to ask anyone." ”

"Yes, the boy understands."

Yuan Mai agreed, bowed and bowed, and then retired and left Yuan Shao's study.

When passing by Zheng Yu's yard, Yuan Mai decided to bid her farewell. After all, Xiao Qi is just a servant boy, and in terms of finding intelligence, he is far from being comparable to the Zheng family, who is Yuan Shao's wife and concubine.

Seeing Yuan Mai carrying his bags, Xiao Ah Ying cried, tears of sadness were pouring out, crying and asking Yuan Mai to hug herself.

"My mother said that Brother Amat was going to move (leave) home and run away, did Ah Ying make you angry, Ah Ying changed it, I won't be naughty in the future. If you ask me to call you fourth brother, I'll call you fourth brother, why do you want to leave, woo...... Who taught Sakura to write when you left, and who accompanied Sakura to ride a big horse...... Whining...... Why don't you do it......"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of little Lori, Yuan Mai spent a lot of effort to coax her to stop dropping "golden beans", saying that Brother Amai was "running away", Brother Amai was going to the forest to catch larks for Xiao Ah Ying, and came back to teach Ah Ying to sing, so that she could find a wishful husband when she grew up......

Only then did Xiao Aying burst into tears, stretched out her tender little finger and Yuan Mai's hook, and said that if anyone cheated someone, he would never be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of his life......

Yuan Mai couldn't help but be speechless, damn, the little girl is really a little ghost, pull a hook and actually curse such a poisonous oath, if I hit a single. Who will take care of your flower-like sister Mi......

At this time, Zheng Yu walked out, beckoned Yuan Mai into the house, ordered the maid to make tea, and asked, "Is Mai'er going to the barracks today?" ”

"Well, the military affairs are urgent, and there is no room for delay." Yuan Mai took a sip of tea and replied.

Zheng Yu nodded, and said in his heart, I hope you can firmly grasp part of the military power here, and it is not in vain that Ah Ying and I will take you as a backer, otherwise, when the husband dies, my daughter and I can only let Liu Jiao's mother-in-law fish and meat.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, so you can go with peace of mind. Although you can rest assured at home, if there is a disturbance or someone slanders you in front of your father, I will never stand idly by. ”

Zheng Yu was quick-witted, and he knew Yuan Mai's intentions at a glance, and without waiting for him to say anything, he took the initiative to solve Yuan Mai's worries.

"Thank you, mother, if there is an emergency, you can ask the servant to inform my servant Xiaoqi, and he will try to inform me."

Yuan Mai bowed to Zheng Yu and thanked him, admiring this woman's scheming. Xin said that if Yuan Shao's wife had her in charge, maybe there would not have been the situation of "brother wall" later.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yuan Mai got up and said goodbye. Then he left the governor's mansion, beat his horse and went straight to the barracks.
