Chapter 13 The Trial of Gains and Losses
Zhen's talent, as the elder brother Zhen Yao is not clear, he was praised at the age of three, even if his father died early, he was full of poetry and books since he was a child.
And Zhen's insight, the mother's family has always admired, when Zhen Yan was still in charge, the Zhen family saw that the world was in chaos, and quickly collected jewelry, gold and silver, but Zhen, who was only a teenager, persuaded his brother to buy grain and grass to help the villagers solve their difficulties, so the Zhen family was praised by the villagers, and they were not affected by the chaos in the troubled times.
Zhen Yao, who made a decision immediately, took Yuan Xi to the back house to visit his mother, and Chen said this important thing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang heard him speak, he immediately said: "Wu'er has said this matter, and my mother is thinking about how not to alarm the place to move to Youzhou." ”
Zhen Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was most afraid that his mother would be stubborn and reluctant to leave the country, and now that the most difficult thing has been solved, the rest is much easier.
Zhen Yao then smiled and said: "Mother and eldest sister will go with the fifth sister first, and the children in the family will slowly transfer the goods, and in a few months, our family will go north to visit the sister in the past." ”
Among the five daughters of the Zhen family, the eldest daughter Zhen Jiang is a widow, and she was taken back to her parents' house to live, and arranged for the mother and daughter to go first, it was Zhen Yao who played a cautious eye.
In this investment, the Zhen family is going all out, and naturally needs returns, relatives are one thing, and family revitalization is more important.
Originally, Yuan Xi only had one wife and one concubine, the Wu family was weak, and the Zhen family didn't care, but now Zhen Yao saw Mulan's fairy appearance, and secretly wanted to fix his sister's favor.
Sending Zhen Jiang to Youzhou first, there is no plan to marry another daughter, even if the younger sister is the main wife, it is not impossible for the sister to be a concubine.
Besides, Zhen Jiang is a widow, and remarrying is not as convenient as a yellow flower girl, and the wife of a small family will have it, but it is difficult for a high-ranking family like the Yuan family.
Zhang didn't know the little Jiujiu in his son's heart, but this suggestion to take the first step was good, and it would save him a lot of chaos.
Besides, it is natural for Lao Fengjun to go to his daughter's house to live, and it is normal to bring other female dependents.
That night, the Zhen family entertained their son-in-law, and Xu Shu took the opportunity to suggest: "Shu Gao (Zhen Yaozi, the author) is not in a hurry to prepare the soldiers' armor, grain and grass first, and when we return to Youzhou, we will send Wen Chang to lead the troops to urge, and then Shu Gao can use the excuse to make money and sell his business, so as not to attract the attention of outsiders." ”
Zhen Yao heard the words and praised him again and again, he was having a headache How to explain the transfer of property, Xu Shu's plan gave him a reason.
When Wei Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "Leading the troops to Youzhou, can the lord think about how to explain to Yuan Sangongzi?" ”
Yuan Xi said with a smile: "With the support of my uncle, our previous plan can be changed, and we will divide the military power immediately after we go back, Xi has decided, pick out 15,000 soldiers, and the rest will be led by Zhang Nan and Jiao to Qingzhou, which can be regarded as helping my brother grow stronger and resist Cao Cao's northward movement." ”
"This ......"
Wei Wei was suspicious and said: "10,000 and 50,000 soldiers, the last general has no experience, and if you miss the lord's major event, you will die in the end!" ”
Yuan Xi rolled his eyes and said: "What do you think, give you 5,000 with you, and I will personally lead the remaining 10,000 troops, with Yuan Zhi behind them, we just need to bury our heads in training the soldiers." ”
Originally, Yuan Xi didn't plan to lead the troops by himself, but the changes were too fast, so he could only do this first, only his own identity could suppress those arrogant generals.
The army in Youzhou is all good soldiers, Yuan Shao is very sober about this, Youzhou is too chaotic, it can't be suppressed without strong soldiers, and Gongsun Zan has been operating there for many years, so it needs to be suppressed by strong soldiers.
In history, if Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch had not surrendered without fighting, Cao Cao would not have taken Youzhou so easily.
In the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, there are three strongest cavalry, one is Liangzhou, one is merging the state, and the other is Youzhou.
They all fought with nomads since childhood, and few people who came out of this kind of place could not ride horses, plus they lived together, and many of them were originally the blood of Han and Hu hybrids.
You see how many people Liu Bei had when he raised his army, but just those people, he dared to attack the Yellow Turban Army's array, precisely because those warriors were recruited by Youzhou.
Yuan Xi and his entourage stayed at the Zhen family for three days, and on the fourth day, they took the Zhen family on the road, and Zhen Yan's sons, including Zhen Yao's wife, all followed him north.
The neighbors were curious, and got the news that the Zhen family was going to be corrected as a wife, and the old lady of the Zhen family was going to support her daughter.
When the news reached Yecheng, Yuan Shang was not surprised at all, his second sister-in-law was as beautiful as a fairy, and it was a matter of time before she became a wife, but this matter gave an excuse for the trial.
After getting the news, the judge immediately found Yuan Shang and suggested that he should also let his wife go north once, so that his mother's family could not be in the limelight.
Yuan Shang hesitated a little, but what people said made sense, the original Zhen family was a side room, and he didn't have to look at others, but now he is a righteous second sister-in-law, and he can't be rude.
The wife of the in-laws can go north to live for the second brother, and there is no reason for her mother not to go, and she has a good relationship with the second brother, and she is not like the eldest brother who fights for power.
This matter was decided like this, and the judge was relieved, and he also had a headache about how to fulfill his promise, and this time he seized this good opportunity.
But after returning home, the judge exclaimed in surprise, and immediately stood up and was about to go out, just as his nephew Shen Rong came to him.
"Where is my uncle going in a hurry, didn't he just come back?"
"Go to the lord for my uncle, what do you have to say."
Xian Rong asked in surprise: "Uncle just came back from the lord's place, and he went again, what happened to him?" ”
The judge had two sons, but both were captured by Cao Jun in the Battle of Guandu, and now only this nephew is the closest.
Although he was anxious, he still replied patiently: "The second son wants to support the Zhen family, and the Wuji Zhen family will fully support him, and I am worried that Youzhou will be difficult to control in the future." ”
Xian Rong secretly sneered, he was impatient with the Yuan family brothers fighting for a long time, and when he heard this, he persuaded: "Uncle is too worried, the second son has always been indisputable, and now we should be staring at the eldest son, and if we pull out the second son, the people's hearts will be lost, so why bother." ”
"But the second son...... Alas! ”
The trial originally wanted to say that Yuan Xi threatened him, but he was right to think about it again.
As the assassin of Qingzhou, Yuan Tan's subordinates should have allocated 50,000 soldiers and horses, but only 20,000 were detained by Yuan Shangke.
After Cao Cao retreated, Yuan Tan asked Yuan Shang to match all the Qingzhou soldiers, but Yuan Shang just didn't give it, so Yuan Tan was already preparing to attack Jizhou.
At this juncture, he said that Yuan Xi was dangerous, and there was no evidence, just speculation, not to mention whether Yuan Shang would believe it, and others would not believe it.
Don't look at Yuan Xi's limelight this time, but he used to have no sense of existence, filial piety to his parents, respect to his brother, and friendship to his younger brother, and his reputation is very good.
"Forget it, I can only hope that the second son will not make a mistake."
