Chapter 32: The Righteous Yuan Xi
"The little nephew visited the uncle of the Cao family, and the uncle has always been good!"
The two boats stopped less than a meter apart, both of which were small local fishing boats, and they could barely carry seven or eight people if they really wanted to carry people.
As a junior, Yuan Xili was thoughtful for a few days, and first got up and saluted and greeted.
Cao Cao laughed, waved his big sleeves and said: "I haven't seen Xianyi for a few years, but now I see a beautiful demeanor, quite the style of my father." ”
"Uncle praised it."
Cao Cao smiled and looked kind, and he really looked like his parents were looking at his juniors, and then he bowed his hand to Xin Bi: "Mr. George has been absent for a long time. ”
As Yuan Shao's important strategist, the Xin family brothers naturally knew Cao Cao for a long time, and they waved their sleeves and saluted: "Xin Bi has seen Cao Gong and Brother Zhongde, this should be General Xu Zhu." ”
Yuan Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he understood that this was Xin Bi hinting at himself, who was following Cao Cao, and hurriedly arched his hand: "But Mr. Cheng Zhongde of Dongjun, General Xu Zhongkang of the State of Qian, and Yuan Xi of Runan have seen the two. ”
Cheng Yu returned the salute with a spring breeze on his face, but Xu Zhu stood solemnly without squinting, and after Cao Cao coughed lightly, he hugged his fist at Yuan Xi in response.
Gan Ning suddenly glared angrily, and had the intention of beating people if he didn't agree with him, Cao Cao naturally noticed him, and saw that he was carrying two short halberds on his back, and he couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his face.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi smiled slightly and said: "This is the little nephew's general Gan Ning Gan Xingba, uncle thinks he looks like an evil general, right?" ”
Gan Ning looks much better than Dian Wei, but this majestic posture and the short halberd really reminded Cao Cao of Dian Wei.
Xu Zhu snorted angrily and said, "Even him, dare to compare with evil!" ”
Gan Ning was about to have a seizure, Yuan Xi waved his hand to stop him, and looked at Xu Zhudao with a smile: "I have heard the name of Zhongkang for a long time, and he can drag a mad cow, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, but in this water, Xi dares to say that my family Xingba wants to kill you, but it is just three or two tricks." ”
Xu Zhu was furious, but Cao Cao's face changed and said: "Xingba is very good? ”
Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Xingba is a native of Ba County, grew up by the Yangtze River, and once made Liu Biao and Sun Ce helpless, what about my uncle?" ”
Cheng Yu was taken aback, and shouted: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning dares to be him, Yu thought it was the person with the same name." ”
Cao Cao looked at him when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "This person is famous in the Yangtze River, with 800 athletes across the Yangtze River, no one can govern it, he is very good at water warfare, and he is extremely brave. ”
Cheng Yu is in charge of Cao Jun's secret agent, Cao Cao has long been eyeing Liu Biao, what happened in Jingzhou, where can he hide it, but he didn't expect this Ganning to be Bi Ganning.
Xu Zhu's face changed, and he looked at Cao Cao worriedly and said, "Lord, go quickly, so as not to cause accidents!" ”
Cao Cao's face turned pale, and he immediately recovered as before, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since Xianyi wants to talk, he can be trusted." ”
Yuan Xi did have the idea of killing Cao Cao here in his heart, but it was only an instant that the thought was extinguished, and killing Cao Cao now would not solve the problem.
If those people in Cao Ying's camp go crazy and fight hard with themselves, even if Hebei wins, they will lose both sides and make wedding dresses for others.
This is different from killing Cao Cao in a decisive battle on the battlefield, killing the other party in this way, and his subordinates will hardly throw themselves into themselves, but will only choose to fight to the death, because shameless people are not worthy of people's service.
The thinking of people in this era is different from that of later generations, although the same etiquette collapses and is bad, but etiquette, righteousness and shame are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unlike later generations who regard shamelessness as capital and are complacent.
In this era, people have been taught since childhood that people want to face trees and bark, and what is popular in later generations is that people are invincible in the world if they don't have a face, to put it bluntly, it is the education after being Westernized, and the thick black science of the West has replaced the etiquette, righteousness and shame of the East.
"Thank you Uncle Cao for your trust, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, shameless things are disdainful, Xi really wants to kill Uncle Cao, but it is a dignified and upright front of the two armies, which is not in vain Xi's good man."
Yuan Xi solemnly bowed his hand, said it very bluntly, did not hide that he was hostile to the other party, and also squinted at Xu Zhu, the meaning could not be clearer.
Gan Ning immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name for a long time, but this is it, with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, the head of my family, the Han family, how can those people who are the head of the Qianqian be able to guess." ”
Xu Zhu's face turned red, and he wanted to scold but was speechless to refute, what they said was right, the Xu family is just a small landlord in the countryside, and compared with the Yuan family, it is simply the difference between a phoenix and a pheasant.
And just now I did suspect Yuan Xi, and I was told the truth.
Cao Cao's face turned cold, stared at Gan Ning and said, "Your Excellency has to be unforgiving, and that's it." ”
Gan Ning smiled: "Gan was born in a poor family, and he doesn't know how to be polite......"
Yuan Xi glared at Gan Ning and said, "I can't stop talking, and I will copy the rites after I go back." ”
Gan Ning hurriedly closed his mouth with a look of grievance, it looked like there were many grievances, but it made Cao Cao's heart sink.
Such a performance shows that Gan Ning's loyalty to Yuan Xi is already inseparable from others, which makes him think of Yan Liangwen and Chou.
Although these two people were rude, they were loyal to Yuan Shao, and they would never surrender to others.
After sighing secretly, Cao Cao spoke: "Virtuous nephew, let's talk about business, it is impossible for Zhang and Gao to be uncles." ”
Finally got down to business, Yuan Xi solemnly got up, looked at the other party's eyes and said, "My nephew understands that this matter is indeed embarrassing for Uncle Cao, so how about changing someone?" ”
"Who? Let's talk about it. ”
Yuan Xi took a deep breath, and suddenly became righteous and awe-inspiring, pointed to the surroundings and said loudly: "What a beautiful scenery this Han River and Mountain, even if the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's chaos were still standing in the world, although the princes of the world have their own thoughts, but the heart of the common respect for the Liu family is still there." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Cao Cao and said word by word: "But since Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, how did he become a prince who did not obey, Wang Yun was at fault, the fault was in his self-use, but there was only one person who really messed up the world, this person was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, Xi wanted to kill him with his own hands, I don't know if my uncle thinks so?" ”
Cao Cao's face changed, he didn't know how many times he had changed his face today, he stared at Yuan Xi closely, and only after a long time did he ask: "Jia Wen and what is the crime!" Is it worth the virtuous nephew to spend such a price to kill him? ”
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "If there is no such person to bewitch Li Dao Guo Yan, the Xiliang Army is just a plate of scattered sand, the prestige of the Son of Heaven will not sweep the ground, and the princes dare to stand on their own but dare not betray the Han, that is, uncle, you just wanted to be the general of the Han Expedition to the West, and the Yuan family would not have usurped the title of emperor, so that my family would be disgraced and leave a reputation for eternity!" ”
Cao Cao looked at him in a daze, Yuan Xi was awe-inspiring at this time, which made him feel ashamed, as if he was facing Yuan Shao back then.
With the same spirit, the same youthful vigor, he was willing to take risks to save the party, gambled on the foundation of the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, and was reprimanded by Yuan Kui for being a rebel and did not regret it.
