As the second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi naturally knew a lot about Lu Bu.

Moreover, Yuan Shao once commented on Lu Bu, saying that although this person is brave and strategic, he can be called a hero only by virtue of his unparalleled martial arts!

"A hero like Lu Bu has returned to Cao Ang, so why shouldn't I return to Yuan Xi?" Yuan Xi comforted himself in his heart, and then made up his mind.

I saw Yuan Xi kneeling down on one knee in front of Cao Ang, and said loudly: "Young General, after the Xianyong Day, only you are the only one!" ”

After Cao Ang heard Yuan Xi's answer, he smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to help him up.

At the same time, Cao Ang also comforted the other party and said: "Xianyong, since you have planned to take refuge in the imperial court, then everyone will be your own people in the future, so you don't have to be so polite." ”

Yuan Xi nodded when he heard this, and then said to Cao Ang: "Young General, then please go and camp in Xi'an Pingcheng, this seaside is humid, and the garrison is easy to get sick." ”

Cao Ang knew that Yuan Xi had good intentions, but right now, it was not yet the time to enter Xi'an Pingcheng.

I saw Cao Ang waving his hand and said: "If I lead my troops into Xi'an Ping City at this time, I am afraid that I will be detected by the spies of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and the two of them will definitely do their best to attack you at that time." ”

"If what I expected is good, Yuan Tan's command has almost 40,000 capable soldiers, Yuan is not as good as Yuan Tan, but it is about the same."

"If the two of them join forces, with only the more than 10,000 people under your command and the horses I brought, even if they can block their attack, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses."

When Yuan Xi heard this, he fell silent.

And Cao Ang continued to analyze: "In the current situation, I only stationed my troops on this seashore with my troops to prevent changes in Liaodong County. ”

"However, I won't fly the flag, and I won't tell others who is stationed here, so that even if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang know that you have other troops stationed here, they will not act rashly."

"When the army of the imperial court comes to support, the two of them will never think about making any waves!"

After listening to Cao Ang's words, Yuan Xi also put his heart back in his stomach, arched his hand at Cao Ang and said, "That Xianyong, everything is subject to the arrangement of the young general." ”

Cao Ang nodded when he heard this and said: "These days, you can just assume that you don't know that I am here, as for the soldiers who came here today, you can leave them here, and I will watch them for you, lest any of them send a message to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang." ”

"Yes!" Yuan Xi did not hesitate at all, and directly left all the more than 1,000 people he brought here, and he only returned to Xi'anping with his cronies.

Cao Ang, on the other hand, led his troops and came to a high slope not far from the sea to station, and by the way, he monitored Yuan Xi's men.

In the next few days, as Cao Ang expected, among Yuan Xi's soldiers, there were really spies that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had planted here.

Those who wanted to report the news were all caught by Cao Ang and beheaded for public display.

For a while, those who wanted to ventilate the news did not dare to make another time.

At this time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were both a little anxious.

In Xiangping City, Yuan Tan was pacing back and forth in the mansion.

After a while, Yuan Tan stopped, turned his head to look at the door, and said to himself: "What's the matter, why haven't any of these scouts come back?" ”

When Guo Tu heard this, he comforted Yuan Tan and said: "The lord doesn't need to worry, the area around Xi'an Ping, after all, is Yuan Xi's territory, and the actions of those scouts will definitely be hindered." ”

After listening to Guo Tu's comforting words, Yuan Tan took a long breath, and then said: "However, if I don't know who those people stationed on the beach are, I won't be able to make a move against Yuan Xi for a day." ”

When Xin Bi on the side heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Lord, if you want to completely control this Liaodong County, then Yuan Shang is your biggest opponent. ”

"However, if you fight Yuan Shang before you destroy Yuan Xi, it is very likely that Yuan Xi will benefit, so I think you should join forces with Yuan Shang first and destroy Yuan Xi."

Guo Tu still agrees with Xin Bi's suggestion.

I saw him nodding, and said with a serious face: "This is not bad, but I am afraid that the nameless army stationed in Xi'an Ping is Yuan Shang's subordinates." ”

"If this is the case, I am afraid that when we and Yuan Shang attack Yuan Xi, we will definitely be betrayed by him, and when the time comes, the enemy will be in danger!"

As Guo Tu's words fell, the three of them fell silent.

After a long while, Yuan Tan continued to speak: "Forget it, before we find out where those soldiers came from, let's not act rashly." ”

At this time, the situation on Yuan Shang's side was similar to Yuan Tan's side.

Yuan Shang and Feng Ji were also worried that those troops stationed on the beach would be Yuan Tan's people, so they didn't dare to unite with Yuan Tan for a while.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Anghe was given a chance.

……

At this time, Cao Ang was naturally not idle.

He wrote a letter and asked Huang Zhong to disguise himself and send him back to Luoyang overnight.

A few days later, Cao Cao, who was far away in Luoyang, received a letter from Cao Ang.

After reading the contents of the letter, Cao Cao also began to arrange.

Previously, Cao Ang mobilized Zhang Liao and Guo Jia to Liaoxi County in order to plan for the two counties in Liaodong.

Now the two have entered Liaoxi and are undergoing repairs.

And the letter that Cao Ang asked Huang Zhong to send was also very simple, that is, to ask the imperial court for an edict to canonize Yuan Xi.

Cao Cao didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to find Liu Wei, drew up the edict and handed it to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong's edict asked Cao Cao with some embarrassment: "Lord, should I send another envoy to Liaodong, after all, this edict is not suitable for me to send a military general." ”

Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard this: "Han Sheng can rest assured, Ziyu has already arranged it, you take the edict and go to Liaoxi to find Wenyuan and Fengxiao." ”

"After you converge, Fengxiao will be the messenger, and you will be responsible for protecting Fengxiao's safety, go to Yuan Xi's territory, and give him this edict to canonize him!"

"I see." Huang Zhong nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurried towards Liaoxi County without stopping.

In the end, he also joined Zhang Liao and Guo Jia in Liaoxi County according to Cao Ang's arrangement.

After Zhang Liao and Guo Jia saw Huang Zhong, they were also very happy, and they couldn't wait to ask about Cao Ang's situation. (End of chapter)
