Chapter 570: The Final Competition
Listening to Diao Chan's words, Yuan Shang couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard this, and began to think carefully.
Diao Chan said with a smile on the side: "Son-in-law, although Mrs. Bian is Cao Cao's wife, she is virtuous by nature, knows how to advance and retreat, and as a present, he is also the best in raising his heirs, Cao Cao's longest sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others, are all raised by the Bian family, but she is pure and kind, not good at fighting, and is very majestic in the minds of several sons. ”
After Yuan Shang thought about it carefully, he couldn't help nodding secretly, admitting that Diao Chan was indeed reasonable, as soon as they met, this aunt, who was famous in history, gave herself such a big trick, and Yuan Shang couldn't help but be grateful.
However, he then thought of another question.
"Although my aunt's idea is good, it's a pity that I don't know Mrs. Bian, and no one among my subordinates has ever had anything to do with the concubines of the Cao family...... Even if you can send someone to infiltrate Xuchang City, you have to catch up with the ......."
Diao Chan smiled when he heard this: "Since I can come up with this idea for my son-in-law, then I can naturally help my son-in-law, the three of us have also lived in Xuchang for many years, although they belong to the widow of the enemy prisoner, but they also lead the support in Xuchang City on weekdays, Mrs. Bian is the wife of Cao Cao, and she will deign to lead people to visit us widows and orphans during the New Year's holidays. ”
When Yuan Shang heard this, he touched his chin and did not speak, but subconsciously turned his head to look at the other two mothers-in-law.
Cao didn't speak, but Yan nodded and said, "Sister Xiu'er is right, this thing is indeed true." Mrs. Bian does take care of us a lot on weekdays, and her friendship is not deep, but she also has several relationships every year. ”
Yuan Shang pondered for a while when he heard this, then suddenly raised his head and commanded the people outside the tent.
"Go and call Sima Yi and Zhang Liao to me."
The three ladies were okay when they heard Sima Yi's name, but when they heard Zhang Liao, they couldn't help but tremble slightly.
When he was young, he saw Sima Yi and Zhang Liao coming in together, and as soon as Fang entered the tent, Zhang Liao saw three ladies. couldn't help but tighten his face, knelt down on one knee, and said: "The last general, Zhang Liao, has seen the three master mothers and wives!" ”
As soon as they saw Zhang Liao, the faces of the three women couldn't help but show deep emotion.
Yan stepped forward. raised his hand to help Zhang Liao, with a strong look of gratitude. Said: "General Zhang." I didn't think you're here? Alas~~, over the years, if it weren't for General Zhang's efforts in Xuchang to protect us, it is still unknown whether the three sisters would have survived to this day...... I heard that General Zhang was on an expedition a few days ago. Once gone, I still thought that the general Ma Ge had returned to the corpse and died in battle, which was ...... Alas. Don't say those depressing words, I can't imagine that today, we will actually meet here! ”
Cao Shi was also very happy to see Zhang Liao, and said, "General Zhang, why are you here?" ”
Cao's words made Zhang Liao blush, but he heard Yuan Shang say with a smile: "General Zhang has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and surrendered to me...... Under the account of Lingqi, re-serving the descendants of Wenhou, what do the three ladies think? ”
When Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded: "It's so good!" ”
Yuan Shang turned his head to the two of them with a smile, and said: "Looking for the two of you, it is entrusted to the two of you by one thing, my aunt Xiu'er, want to sneak back to Xuchang secretly, and persuade the Cao family's mother, Bian, to persuade Cao Zhi to return to Yuan, I think about it, one of you is an old minister of the Cao family, and the other has been a messenger to Xuchang for me to be an important official, and you are more familiar with it, so I want to ask the two of you to go to protect the safety of my aunt on my behalf, and listen to her dispatch, or deal with emergencies, what do you two think?" ”
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "It's all up to the lord and his wife to dispatch!" ”
Diao Chan also smiled and said, "There are General Lao Zhang and Mr. Sima." ”
Don't look at Diao Chan's age is not too young, but this smile is still full of maturity and charm.
Zhang Liao had known Diao Chan for a long time, but there was nothing, but Sima Yi was confused by this laughter, his face was red and his neck was thick, his mouth was suddenly dry, and he stammered a little when he spoke.
"Is this your mother-in-law?"
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What, no?" ”
"How can she be your mother-in-law...... It's a pity. ”
Others didn't understand what it meant when they heard this, but Yuan Shang knew best what kind of goods he was.
A slightly feminine gaze popped up in his eyes, and Yuan Shang grinned and said, "What do you mean by this, kid?" ”
Seeing this, Sima Yi was suddenly excited, and quickly rounded up his words.
"I mean, if only I had such a mother-in-law!"
“…………”
After the matter was roughly settled, Yuan Shang immediately sent someone to send the three mothers-in-law back to the tent to rest, as soon as Fang came out of the handsome tent, he saw Yan hurriedly said to Diao Chan: "Sister, we finally escaped from Xuchang and got free, why did you take the initiative to ask Ying to go back to that place, it's good if nothing happens, if there is really a three long and two short, how can you let me be a sister?" ”
Cao Shi also nodded and said: "That is, we are women, why bother with the affairs of the military family between them and their men?" ”
Diao Chan sighed and said: "Two sisters, I don't want to do this, just out of helplessness, I heard that Lingqi and our son-in-law are friends in distress, and they belong to a husband and wife who share blessings and misfortunes, although such a husband and wife are good, but Yuan Shang is the overlord of the world after all, and the figure who holds the ears of the princes of the world, we are now looking up to people after all, not to mention that in order to save us this time, even Lingqi fell into it, how much trouble did it cause him?" Although he doesn't say it, there is no mustard in his heart, if we are very useless now, to be honest, we can only let it be called, Lingqi will have no status compared with other ladies in the future, but I am afraid that it will have no status, but it is better to use a way to make some great contributions, and it can be regarded as helping Lingqi consolidate her position in his husband's heart, which is also good for us in our old age...... In short, when we first came to Yuan Ying, although we were women, we couldn't let Yuan Shang think that we were useless and underestimate our Lu family. ”
When Yan and Cao heard this, they suddenly realized.
After a long time, he saw Yan Shi bow his head, sighed helplessly, and said: "A woman in troubled times, it is really not easy to live......
******************************
After resting for a while, Yuan Shang asked Zhang Liao and Sima Yi to lead elite subordinates to protect Diao Chan and secretly went to Xuchang to persuade the Bian family, and at the same time personally ordered all the soldiers and horses, turned north, and went straight to Guandu to make peace with Yuan Xi's main army.
This move was completely beyond everyone's expectations, but the monarch's words were as heavy as Jiuding, and Rao was that they had doubts, but under Yuan Shang's military orders, they did not dare to disobey them.
In this way, all the Yuan troops of the southern expedition gathered at Guandu Lane in front of Xuchang, waiting for Yuan Shang to issue the final military order.
When they came to Guandu, Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others led the mighty generals of the Yuan army to greet them, and everyone was separated for several months, and they were naturally elated when they met, and they inevitably had some politeness, and after a lot of greetings, they pulled the topic into the topic.
"Third brother, you have occupied Xuzhou, you have already attacked the right flank of the Cao army, if you take Xuchang directly, and the main army will become a corner, and the Cao army will be defeated on both sides, why do you come to make peace with us?" Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shangdao curiously.
"Because ......" Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "For the sake of our Yuan family's reputation, I must be here to end the Yuan family and the Cao family!" Second brother, for you and me, the source of the first qiē of the year started from Guandu, and today, the first qiē finally Guandu, for our army, for our army's status in the hearts of the princes of the world, and the reputation of our Yuan Sect, all play a vital role! ”
Hearing this, he smiled and said: "I never thought that the lord was a person who cared about his reputation, but he didn't expect that today, but he was also cautious and stingy with his reputation. ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to reputation before, it was because of the facts, or I didn't have absolute certainty, but now that I have absolute certainty that I can defeat Cao Zhi, why don't I put the icing on the cake and earn the biggest name for the Yuan family?" ”
Tian Feng touched his beard on the side and said with emotion: "In a flash, it's been almost ten years!" ”
Frustration also sighed: "Yes, in the past ten years, Yuan Cao has been in constant disputes, the battle of Guandu that year, the leader is still the first lord and Cao Cao, and today, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the first lord and Cao Cao both fell, and the people who left to draw the ending for them are Cao Zhi and the current heroes of Hebei, looking back on the past, it is really a lot of emotion!" ”
Yuan Xi stood up, turned around the tent several times, and suddenly turned his head and asked Yuan Shangdao: "Third brother, you say, how can we fight this last big battle?" ”
Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "It's just to suppress people with force, concentrate all your strength, and defeat the Cao army, this battle doesn't need any conspiracy, my Yuan army is all elite, that's all." ”
Speaking of which. Yuan Shang thought for a moment and then asked, "What's going on on Cao Zhi's side?" ”
Fu Zhi stood up and said, "Cao Zhi is in Guandu, concentrating all the remaining generals and troops of the Cao army, casting an earthen city, deep ditches and high fortifications, it seems that he is waiting for our decisive battle!" ”
"Good!" Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Order the three armies, tomorrow the third watch will make rice, the fifth watch will raise troops, and go all out to attack Guandu, if the battle of Guandu is won!" Then the north will be decided! ”
"............" (To be continued......)
