Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 59

Xin Xianying lowered her eyelids, sighed faintly, got up and walked to the leftover cloth, and bent over to pick it up.

Opening the cloth, Xin Xianying, who was expressionless, quickly frowned.

"Father."

In the study, Xin Pi stopped writing and glanced at Xin Xianying, and said with a smile, "It's Xianying."

Xin Xianying held up the cloth, "Father, the second son sent a letter saying that he was asking for a daughter from the Xin family. But he didn't name her name and said he wanted to marry me."

With a pale face, Xinpi raised his slender eyebrows, took the cloth and looked at it.

"What does that mean?"

After seeing it, Simpi looked puzzled.

Xin Xianying said softly: "I didn't name her name, so can other people marry her?"

Simpi snorted suddenly, and said: "Yuan Xianyi is having a falling out with the third son, it is not appropriate to marry anyone at this time. He makes things difficult for our Xin family, and our Xin family has the third son backing us, so why should we be afraid of him?"

Xin Xianying asked in a daze, "What does father mean?"

"Ignore it."

Simpi continued to write, "Wait for the third son's reply."

Xin Xianying hesitated to speak, but finally sighed quietly.

Simpi didn't look up, "Xianying have something to say?"

Xin Xianying opened her mouth, lowered her head and bit her lip, and said, "My daughter just thinks that Father didn't handle this matter properly."

Simpi raised his head slightly, his eyes were sharp, but his tone was soft and he said: "What's Xianying's opinion?"

Xin Xianying said boldly: "From my daughter's point of view, the second son may not be so unbearable. Father puts his treasure on the eldest son and third son. If the second son inherits the big position one day, what will my Xin family do?"

"impossible."

With restrained eyes, Xin Pi said indifferently: "Although you are capable, Xianying, your eyes are too limited to a small area of ​​Ji County. You don't know that the general trend of the world is in Yuan, and among the few sons of Yuan's family, the one who wins the great power should be the third son."

"The eldest son doesn't even have much advantage, let alone Yuan Xianyi."

"But offending Second Young Master at this time, what good will it do for my Xin family?"

Only then did Xinpi realize the strangeness, and looked directly at his daughter, "Are you optimistic about Yuan Xi?"

"My daughter just thinks that the act of defeating the cunning Cao Cao and capturing Xuchang is not something ordinary people can do."

Xin Xianying pursed her lips, "Using titles to win over subordinates made the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master incompatible with each other. He reaped the benefits. Using all kinds of means, Xianying really can't figure out that the Second Young Master is a mediocre person."

Xin Pi nodded and said: "Your order is generally correct, but it's still the same as before. He got up too late. In Yuan Gong's heart, there is absolutely no plan for him to inherit the big position."

"Things are fickle, who can predict the outcome?"

Simpi smiled and said, "Is my daughter attracted to that kid?"

Xin Xianying shook her head, "My daughter only saw him once, when he led people to distribute clothes and food to those beggars."

The corners of Xin Pi's mouth rose slightly, "This is a small trick to buy people's hearts, but it's a pity that they bought the wrong people. How useful can those little beggars be?"

Seeing that her daughter was still talking, Simpi said calmly: "If you can see the end of a matter, you should stand firm. Otherwise, all the previous actions will be in vain."

Xin Xianying was in a complicated mood, and saluted, "My daughter is retiring."

At the end of 200 AD, Cao Pi united with Ma Teng, and tens of thousands of troops aimed directly at Xuchang.

The frontline Yuan Jun lost troops and generals, unable to resist, Yuan Shao sent his third son Yuan Shang to lead an army of [-] to conquer.

After Yuan Xi in Youzhou got the news, he immediately started to deal with some aristocratic families in Youzhou who supported Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

For a while, Youzhou was bloody again.

In just three days, more than a dozen aristocratic families were uprooted by Yuan Xi and their property was confiscated.

"My lord, this is the family that recently united to deal with you."

Cheng Yu handed over a list to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't look at it either, but waved his hand and said, "Send troops directly to destroy it."

"Crime?"

"No need!"

"By the way, Liao, Cheng, Xu, Zhou, Qian and other aristocratic families have performed well. We should reward them heavily. Let those aristocratic families with snakes and rats see that we treat our own people very generously. Not only know how to kill."

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Master Shengming."

After a pause, Cheng Yu continued: "According to reliable information, the battle at the front seems to be unfavorable. If the third son is defeated and finds out about these things later, I am worried that he will join the eldest son to deal with you, my lord."

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "Even if they unite, they are still paper tigers, so there is no need to worry. Our top priority now is to take the opportunity to completely control the entire Youzhou. We can't delay any longer."

Not long after Cheng Yu left, Jia Xu came.

"My lord, these are the ledgers obtained from the house raids recently. Please have a look at them, my lord."

Yuan Xi took it and flipped through it casually, and said with a smile, "It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you think these big families don't want to have a good New Year?"

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

In the past few days, the treasury of Youzhou government has been filled like never before.

Inside Xuchang City.

After Yuan Shao finished talking with the emperor, he returned to the mansion.

Thinking of the little emperor begging himself to be emperor every time, he was willing to abdicate.

He couldn't help feeling happy in his heart.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Yuan Shao saw his eldest son, Yuan Tan, leading a group of officials, big and small, waiting outside the mansion.

Yuan Shao said in a good mood: "Why are you all here? Can't there be good news on the front line?"

Cao Pi is like a bereaved dog. Since Cao Cao's death, he has never paid attention to other princes.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.

He frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Yuan Tan sighed, lowered his head and said, "Father, the third brother is back."

"came back?"

Yuan Shao just wanted to say whether he had returned with a great victory, but seeing the expressions of everyone, his expression finally changed.

"Where is he?"

"In the mansion."

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, turned around and opened the door to enter.

In the bright hall, Yuan Shang prostrated himself on the ground, his body was covered in blood, and he was in a state of embarrassment.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the dazed Yuan Shang hurriedly turned his head, and then shouted: "Father."

Yuan Shao staggered, and said in a difficult tone: "Why is my son like this?"

Yuan Shang cried out sadly: "I fell into Cao Pi's treacherous tricks, so that I lost troops and lost generals. I ask my father to punish me."

Yuan Shao blushed, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his tone.

"How much did you lose?"

"Son, son," Yuan Shang stammered, with an unnatural expression, "only brought back more than 2 people."

"Pfft!"

Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lord!"

"Father!"

A group of people rushed up to support Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao couldn't hold on, pointed at Yuan Shang and said angrily, "Then Cao Pi is just a loser, how could you be so defeated?"

"I don't want to, my son, but Cao thief is too cunning, and Xiliang's iron cavalry is invincible, our army really can't resist it."

Yuan Shang shrank his neck and cried.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and called out, "Where is the Ju Supervisor Army?"

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said hastily: "Father was offered advice by the Ju Supervisor Army, so I fell into the trap of Cao Thief, otherwise I would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat."
