Chapter Forty-Eight: The Child Who Surprised Yuan Xi

"Then here, tomorrow we will send someone to investigate on the spot, and build a city after encircling the boundaries of the land."

Xun Chen said solemnly, and after looking around, he said solemnly: "The rest of the Taihang Bacheng should also garrison troops to rebuild the walled fort, and the state war is about to start, beware of Cao Jun's demagoguery and foreign races to attack Jizhou." ”

Yuan Xi nodded yes, and Zhang Fan immediately spoke: "Lord, if Fan Jue's Cao Sikong doesn't go to war this time, we will also find an opportunity for him to do it next year." ”

With an "oh", Yuan Xi looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Zhang Fan said solemnly: "Hebei's loss of Wei County has a lot to do with it, there was no way at that time, but with the recovery of Liaodong, Hebei has no worries, and it is time to find an opportunity to recover Wei County." ”

"Wei Jun!"

Yuan Xi sighed, how could he not know the importance of Wei County, if it weren't for his uneasy brother, would he give up Wei County.

The reason why Yuan Shao put the political center in Yecheng was just to get closer to the enemy, and it was not that Wei County was too important to Hebei.

The princes who have always occupied Hebei want to compete for the world, and Wei County must be firmly controlled in their hands, otherwise they can only be trapped on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Just like Shu can't do without a truth in Hanzhong, it is a way out, Cao Cao relaxed his vigilance against Hebei because he got Wei County, and he was relieved to go south to fight Jingzhou.

"Uncle Youruo, is there a tunnel in Yecheng that leads to the outside of the city?"

Yuan Xi thought about it, turned his face and asked Xun Chen, it was easy for Yecheng to let it out, but it was extremely difficult to take it back, and he didn't see how much effort Cao Cao spent attacking Yecheng.

If it weren't for the surrender of Kaicheng, the nephew of the trial, it would not be so easy to capture, even if it was a water attack.

Xun Chen frowned and shook his head and said: "This matter is not clear, you can go to the letter to ask for the trial, Yecheng has always been guarded by him, but there is not much hope, the old lord probably didn't think about leaving a way back." ”

Yuan Xi nodded silently, thinking about Yuan Shao's proud character, Lao Tzu's temperament as the best in the world, it is really possible that there is no way back.

"Forget it, it's really not possible to use the Heavenly Thunder to concentrate and explode in one place, but then the casualties of the soldiers will be very large, and they can't be used unless they have to."

Yuan Xi is comforting himself and everyone, it is actually difficult to blow up the city wall with explosives in this era, it is one thing to be not very powerful, and technical problems such as too long leads are fatal.

"Let's prepare first, it will be difficult for Cao Jun to launch an offensive within this year, and it will be after the beginning of the year, so we still have time to plan."

Everyone agreed with this, raised their glasses, and after a drink of victory, they began to discuss other things again.

"By the way, Uncle Youruo, Qian'er worships you as a teacher, so what about the child of the Deng family, he is the same age as Qian'er, and he should also go to school."

Yuan Qian is eight years old, and he worshiped under Xun Chen's door just a month ago, Yuan Xi didn't care about these things, they were all handled by Zhen Mi, but this time he quickly asked.

Xun Chen said with a smile: "How could Qian'er's apprenticeship leave behind his companion, it's just that the kid wants to learn military strategy, so I suggest that he worship Yuan Zhi as a teacher." ”

"Oh, did the advisor take that kid?"

Yuan Xi asked Xu Shu curiously, Xu Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Shu has only been back with the lord for a few days, and I have met Fan Er, and I haven't had time to apprentice yet." ”

"Fan'er?"

Yuan Xi looked at him puzzled, this time it was Xun Chen who laughed, and said with a smile: "Fan Er is the name given by the child himself, when I told him two about Chen Taiqiu's inscription, he took a fancy to one of them, and even the table words were good, and the name Fan Zishi was the one." ”

Zhang Fan smiled happily when he heard this: "Good ambition, this kid can take this as a norm, and he will definitely become a big thing in the future." ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, of course he had read Chen Yu's inscription in his original body, who did not respect Yingchuan Chen Yu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

This is the only person in history who after his death, the emperor, the military officials of the heavens, the great families, and the eunuch group collectively paid tribute to him.

You must know that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the scholar group and the eunuch group were rivals, but when Chen Yu died, everyone who could catch up with the funeral came.

In this era, the funeral procession can reach 30,000 or 40,000 people, and thousands of vehicles, which should be said to be unprecedented.

Dare to say that it is because of the inconvenient transportation, and if it were not for the convenient transportation in the future generations, you see who died, and the people who volunteered to see them off could reach this scale.

And Chen Yu is not from a family, he really came from a humble background, but after his death, he was headed by Sikong and Taifu Ling, and thousands of people dressed him in linen and filial piety, and held the etiquette of his descendants, including Xun Chen's uncle Xun Shuang.

"The text is the model of the world, and the behavior is the rule of the people."

Yuan Xi muttered about Chen Yu's inscription, which was an epitaph written by Cai Yong for him, praising him that his article can be a model for the world, and his words and deeds can be the standard for scholars.

This is a very lofty praise, but Yuan Xi, who finished reading this sentence, was suddenly shocked, and almost stood up in surprise.

"No, is this kid ......?"

"No, it can't be such a coincidence, right? If this is the case, then Wei Yanke has made a great contribution. ”

This child is the mother and son saved by Wei Yan in Xinye back then, and was put in his own home by Yuan Xi, his mother Deng Huang followed Zhen Mi to do needlework, and the child was Yuan Qian's companion.

He won't pay attention to these, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to them, since he returned to Youzhou, things have happened one after another, and they are all military affairs.

But now I can't pay attention to it, thinking of this, Yuan Xi arched his hand to Xu Shu and said: "Please accept this child from the military advisor, Xi wants to recognize him as a righteous son, and assist Qian'er in the future." ”

Everyone was shocked, thinking that Yizi was nothing, but it was too much to assist, you must know that Yuan Qian's mother was Wu, who had passed away.

The current main room is Zhen Mi, with her young body, she must be able to give birth, if she gives birth to a boy, she is also a son-in-law, and the son is expensive by the mother, how can she set an heir so early.

Yuan Xi saw that everyone was stunned, waved his hand and said: "Listen to me, Qian'er is the eldest son and the son-in-law, this is a fact, Xi has already experienced the evil consequences of brotherly rivalry, how can he let the descendants do the same, so the inheritance of the eldest son cannot be changed, unless Qian'er is too unbearable." ”

"This ......"

Everyone hesitated, and Zhang Fan spoke: "If the lord says this, then the eldest prince is afraid that there will be waves, so I have to guard against it!" ”

Without waiting for Yuan Xi to answer, Xun Chen smiled and said: "Brother Gongyi is at ease, the eldest prince has no right to compete for the throne, and the old lord passed him to Yuan Taifu back then, and everyone in Hebei knows about it." ”

Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, so that Yuan Tan would lose his orthodox rights, no wonder Yuan Xi inherited the position, and Yuan Tan did not object.

Of course, this matter was deliberate by Yuan Shao back then, how can there be any reason to pass on the eldest son to others, it is normal that the younger son is the right one.

As for the dispute between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, at that time, because Yuan Tan was not angry with his father's partiality, if Yuan Xi was established as the heir, he would have to shut up and have no reason to object.

Regardless of whether Yuan Shao did it on purpose or not, nominally Yuan Tan is already Yuan Ji's son, then Yuan Shao's eldest son will become Yuan Xi, and it will not be Yuan Shang's turn no matter what.

Yuan Shao had a reason to give his stepson to his eldest brother, if he hadn't raised troops to fight Dong Zhuo back then, Yuan Ji would not have died, and the whole family was killed by Dong Zhuo.

It's just that the person who passed through is wrong, but there is no reason to object to it.
