Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 24

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The second son is in charge of Youzhou, but Youzhou is surrounded by barbarians in the north, and the people are poor. Compared with other rich places, it is far inferior."

Yuan Xi originally wanted to say that Youzhou, which is half farming and half animal husbandry, is well developed and has a bright future.

But when Jia Xu's words were linked up and down, he suddenly came to his senses.

He slapped his thigh violently, and said excitedly: "Development requires money, Mr. Wen He wants me to grab it?"

Jia Xu said with a dry smile, "I didn't say anything. Second Young Master can figure it out."

Yuan Xi immediately asked Lu Qiling to call Chunyuqiong.

Seeing Yuan Xi's excited look, Jia Xu frowned and said, "Second Young Master, is he really stealing money? I'm afraid he will get a bad reputation if he speaks out. I'm afraid he will be ridiculed by the world."

Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and said with disdain: "The things captured by the captives should be used by the winner. Whoever wants to laugh, let him make a joke."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "If the general knows, I'm afraid he will be displeased."

Yuan Xi knew that he was reminding himself, and replied with a smile: "Then don't let him know. Send someone back to Youzhou first. He can't let me send it back again? Mr. Wen He, do you think it makes sense?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Chunyu Qiong rushed over, raised a sword as soon as he entered the door, and said excitedly: "Second Young Master, what is this?"

Yuan Xi was still puzzled, so Jia Xu said in a low voice, "This is the Qingzhi sword."

Chunyu Qiong laughed and said, "I never thought Mr. Wen He knew this sword."

Walking to Yuan Xi's side, he handed the Qingzhi Sword to Yuan Xi, "Second Young Master, this is a divine weapon as famous as the Yitian Sword. It cuts iron like mud and is extremely sharp. It is suitable for a hero like Second Young Master."

Yuan Xi nodded, picked up the sword, looked at it again and again, and said with great interest: "Found it from Cao thief's study?"

"No, it was found in Xiahouen's mansion when the house was raided."

Yuan Xi was taken aback. Although he only let Cao Cao's family be copied, it was normal for Chunyu Qiong to copy his Cao family's family.

Chunyu Qiong took out the account book from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, this is the proceeds from the house raid, and it is clearly recorded in the book without any omissions."

Yuan Xi smiled, took it, flipped through it casually, and threw it to Chunyu Qiong, "Uncle Chunyu, Youzhou is very poor. In the whole Xuchang, you must strictly investigate anyone who is loyal to Cao thief."

Chunyu Qiong hurriedly patted his chest to reassure.

Seeing his excited appearance, Yuan Xi warned seriously: "Only steal money, don't disturb the people! How those people are dealt with is my father's business, and I have no right to take care of it."

"I will understand at the end."

Chunyu Qiong nodded, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why the second young master came to me?"

Yuan Xi looked at his face eager for knowledge, turned his brains, and said, "I'm going to form a group of advisers, and I want you to be the head of the group of advisers."

Chunyu Qiong asked in a daze, "What is the head of the regiment?"

Yuan Xidao: "You don't care about the leader or not. In short, I plan to form a team of advisers, and you are in charge of them."

"You are only responsible to me and give me advice. Well, let's tentatively select five people. If you think there are any capable people, you can recommend them to me."

Pointing to Jia Xu, "Mr. Wen He is my most important adviser, you have to understand that."

Jia Xu smiled and nodded towards Chunyu Qiong.

Chunyu Qiong blushed, breathed rapidly, and said in a trembling voice: "Second Young Master, I, can I really do it?"

He has always been a general, but at this moment, he shrinks back a little.

I was afraid that I would give Yuan Xi a bad idea.

Yuan Xi's attention really made him dare not make any mistakes.

"I said you can do it, you can do it."

Yuan Xi said solemnly: "When you return to Yecheng, you can find a chance and ask your father to transfer you to me. You are one of the most important people to me. Without you, many things cannot be carried out."

When Chunyu Qiong saw that Yuan Xi was being helped by an immortal, he became speculative.

But at this moment, seeing Yuan Xi value him so much, he was really moved.

He only wanted to do things for Yuan Xi with all his heart.

Become Yuan Xi's most confidant and close minister.

Suddenly remembered something, Chunyu Qiong said seriously: "Second Young Master, if you are fighting for the position, you must have no one around the general, I'd better stay with the general for the time being."

Yuan Xi nodded secretly. After all, Chunyu Qiong was of the same generation as Yuan Shao, and with him by Yuan Shao's side, he could avoid being blind.

At noon the next day, Yuan Xi received the battle report from the front line.

After Cao Jun learned of Cao Cao's death, coupled with the fact that there was no food in the army, they had retreated across the board.

Yuan Shao had already occupied Guandu, and personally led the army to Xuchang.

Yuan Xi didn't dare to slack off, and asked Chun Yuqiong to lead the soldiers to step up the search for money.

In Xuchang, anyone who has contact with Boss Cao will be searched.

The search operation took three full days to end.

A total of nearly [-] million yuan was seized, as well as countless other gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Yuan Xi took out a small part and distributed it to his subordinates, and asked Zhang Nan to lead [-] soldiers to escort the rest to Youzhou overnight and put it into the treasury of Ji County.

After doing all this, Yuan Xi felt a little excited and worried at the same time.

You know it's a huge sum of money.

Dahan's annual financial income is only billions.

With all this money, Yuan Xi can develop wantonly.

If Yuan Shao knew, he wouldn't be out of ideas.

But Yuan Xi still did it, the reason is very simple.

Let Liu Xie give the title to the Hussar General, and it's not bad for him to say that.

During this period, Cao soldiers and Cao generals continued to retreat from the front line, asking for surrender and entering the city.

But they were all small shrimps, and Guo Jia, whom Yuan Xi yearned for, had never been seen.

"Second Young Master, another group of defeated Cao soldiers has come outside the city."

Chen Bianjiao, the commander of the soldiers, strode into the room.

Yuan Xi was not interested and asked, "Who are they?"

Chen Bianjiao has a rough appearance and a brave personality. He is a strong man with a very simple mind.

I have followed Yuan Xi for more than three years, and Yuan Xi only learned about these things recently.

"The leader is called Cheng Yu, and I seem to be in the same family as me."

Chen Bianjiao smiled foolishly.

"Cheng Yu?"

Yuan Xi hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "Is your name really Cheng Yu?"

Chen Bianjiao said dumbfounded: "He said yes. Is he famous?"

Yuan Xi ignored him and ran out all the way.

Since Cao Pi left, he didn't expect to poach capable ministers and generals under Cao Cao's command.

He never expected to meet Cheng Yu, which was definitely a surprise for him.

Cheng Yu was of medium build, with a short beard, and stood at the front of the line with dull eyes.

His right arm was wrapped in thick gauze, which was stained with blood.

Behind him were more than 20 people, each with blood on their bodies, surrounded by a group of Yuan Bingtuan.

"Zhongde, what do you think they will do to us?"

Beside Cheng Yu, a middle-aged soldier asked in a low voice.

Cheng Yu said expressionlessly: "We were all seriously injured and surrendered again. Then Yuan Shao will save face and will let us go sooner or later."

With worry in his eyes, the middle-aged soldier said softly, "I hope so."

"Who is Cheng Yu?" A distant voice shouted.
