Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 218 Is there a general named Yuan under Cao Ying's command?
Hearing the words of the personal guard, the three generals were all taken aback for a moment, but when they looked in the direction of his finger, they froze in place for a moment.

But seeing a big flag fluttering above the city of Xuzhou, it's just that the words on the flag are not the word "Yu" they thought before.

It's a big Yuan character, fluttering in the wind!

goodong...

I don't know which one of the three generals swallowed first and broke the awkward silence.

After the three of them looked at each other for a while, Lu Xiang said with some difficulty:

"I remember that there seems to be no general surnamed Yuan under Cao thief's account."

……

In the city of Xuzhou.

Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Sui Yuanjin and the three of them, even after they actually walked into Xuzhou City, they still felt like a dream.

You know, Xuzhou is not an ordinary city. This is Cao Cao's last base in the Central Plains, although Cao Ying's army is now gathered in the Yellow River ferry area.

However, the defense of Xuzhou City is still not called emptiness!
Yu Jin personally guards, and there are [-] Cao Ying soldiers defending. With such a configuration, no matter which general in Hebei is in charge, he dare not underestimate the enemy!

But it was such a city that was captured by General Yuan Tan with a mere five thousand soldiers?
And according to Gao Lan, these 5000 people are not cavalry, but infantry?
Looking at the astonished three generals, Gao Lan smiled proudly and said:
"The three generals have worked hard all the way, so it's better to rest in the mansion first. Although Xuzhou is newly settled, many mansions have been vacated these days. It's a coincidence that the three generals came here."

It has to be said that the Chen family is the largest family in Xuzhou after all, and the position of patriarch has fallen into the hands of Chen Deng, an enterprising young generation.

His style of acting became more and more decisive.

Those families who were named by Yuan Tan and led by Chen Deng to enforce the law were usually the lords of a county or even a state in Xuzhou.

But in front of Chen Deng, to be precise, it was the Chen family's forces, who had no power to fight back at all.

If he confessed his crime obediently, he should pay the fine and pay the fine, and if he should pay a few direct descendants to come forward to cover the crime, Chen Deng would still retain a little bit of sympathy.

But if it is a hard top, its fate...

To put it simply, nearly ten mansions have been vacated in Xuzhou City in just three days.

Yuan Tan didn't take this kind of property seriously, and handed it all over to Gao Lan, letting him handle it at his own discretion.

Although Yuan Tan is not in the city right now, Gao Lan felt that if Yuan Tan knew about it, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and Sui Yuan would join the three of them to support them.

If he had been traveling with soldiers and horses for nearly half a month, he would certainly not have expressed nothing.

After hearing Gao Lan's words, Lu Kuang and others reluctantly declined.

But when they came to the mansion that Gao Lan was going to allocate to them, each one of them was a little reluctant to part with it.

Although the status of the three generals in the Hebei army is not low, after all, those who are qualified to lead an army independently, no matter what happens to their heads, at least one official position of partial general cannot escape.

But no matter how high the official position is, it can't stand the astonishing housing prices in Yecheng today!
Not to mention, following Yuan Tan's previous operations in Xuchang, he abducted Han Xiandi back to Yecheng.

Even the political center of the Han Dynasty moved to Yecheng.

If anyone has the sharpest vision in the world, it is certainly the businessmen.

As the Yuan family in Hebei advanced all the way, they defeated Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and other princes one after another, and gained the orthodoxy of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

A large number of businessmen also went to Hebei to conduct trade.

After all, if a business like this wants to develop, it cannot do without a stable environment.

Looking at the world today, apart from Xichuan Bashu, only the land of Hebei is the most peaceful.

After all, although Hebei has been fighting continuously in recent years, with the sudden emergence of Yuan Tan.

Many battles were fought outside of Hebei. Except for the previous battle in Youzhou, the remaining battles basically rarely affected Hebei, especially the area around Yecheng.

And the influx of a large number of businessmen has caused one of the most obvious effects.

That is, the housing prices and commodity prices in Yecheng have been soaring all the way.

Fortunately, whether it is Yuan Shao or Feng Ji Guo Tu and others, although they are good at internal fighting, they still have basic political literacy.

Although they are not as clear as modern politicians about the importance of maintaining people's livelihood prices at a stable point.

But I also know that housing prices can rise, which is related to the prices of the most basic people's livelihood, especially the reason why food prices cannot rise too high.

As a result, the housing prices in Yecheng today are better outside the city, but the mansions in the city are even just a small courtyard with three entrances and three openings.

None of which Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and the others can afford.

Although Xuzhou cannot be compared with Yecheng, it is still the base area where Cao Cao has been operating for many years. In terms of prosperity, if it is not ranked among the top three in the world, it can still be among the top ten.

Being able to own a mansion here, even if you don't live in the future, you can sell it back to Yecheng, and you can buy a small courtyard back.

Swallowing with some difficulty, Sui Yuanjin's eyes were already a little straight.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were better off, after all, they were also from the common people, but Sui Yuanjin was a real Hebei general who was washed ashore by bandits.

Seeing such a luxurious mansion in front of him at this moment, Sui Yuanjin couldn't say no to it.

Seeing that Sui Yuanjin was already moved, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang looked at each other. If their brothers refused, Sui Yuanjin would definitely not be ashamed to accept it.

Then Sui Yuanjin was offended for no reason.

Although Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and Sui Yuanjin were on the same level, no one wanted to offend a colleague for such a thing.

Immediately, the brothers of the Lu family said to Gao Lan:

"Well, I would like to thank General Gao Lan and Major General for their kindness. It's just that the three of us came to Xuzhou and received such a generous gift before we had even made any achievements. We really deserve it. If Major General has time, please also General Gao took us to meet the Major General so that we can thank him one or two."

After hearing the words of the three people, Gao Lan's expression changed, and he said helplessly:
"The three generals don't know that the young general is not in Xuzhou City right now. If the time is right..."

Gao Lan said, looked up at the sky, nodded and said:

"At this time, the Major General should have arrived at Xiapi City."

"Xiapi City?"

Hearing Gao Lan's words, this time it was the turn of the three Hebei generals to be surprised.

……

Time went back to when the three Hebei generals had just arrived at the city of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou prefect's mansion.

Chen Deng took the knife and official seal given by Yuan Tan, and started the work of cleaning up the Xuzhou family in full swing.

On Yuan Tan's side, he was not idle either.

Holding the military report that Gao Lan had just received from the sentry cavalry, Yuan Tan had a strange expression on his face.

"Going out of the city to find food? Yu Wenze, do you want to repeat the old trick?"

Gao Lan smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"What the major general said is correct, but from the point of view of the last general, although Yu Jin's actions are suspected of deliberately luring us to attack, the lack of food in Xiapi City should also be true."

Yuan Tan smiled, put the military report in his hand on the table, and said lightly:

"Whether it's a trick or not, it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If he dares to use such a trick in Yujin, I will dare to lead my troops to attack!"

As he said that, Yuan Tan couldn't help but show an arrogant smile:

"This time, it's our turn to bully the less!"
