Humiliated so far, Liu Xie's face was livid, but facing the generals of the Cao clan, no matter how angry he was, he could only swallow it in his stomach, and no matter how humiliating he was, he could only swallow it with broken teeth.

Not far away, Fu Wan Dong Cheng could also see clearly.

Dong Cheng was angry and wanted to stand out.Yang Su who accompanied him shook his head and said, "What does Mr. Dong want to do?"

"Put Cao thief to death, vent your anger for the emperor."

Yang Su said in a low voice: "Outside is the Cao family's [-] troops. Under such circumstances, is Dong Gong planning to put the emperor in danger? Besides, how can we kill Cao Cao with just a few followers?"

Dong Cheng was really angry, even though Yang Su stopped him, but judging by his expression, he was still eager to try.

"Brother Dong, if you can't bear it, you can make a big conspiracy. To kill Cao Cao, you still need to plan slowly and don't act rashly. Right now, we don't have strong support. If we do it now, it is tantamount to digging our own grave. It doesn't matter if you and I die, if Cao Cao If a thief harms the emperor, we will be really sinners."

All the loyal officials of the Han Dynasty were filled with righteous indignation, while Cao Cao was playing with his sons on the other side.

After Cao Ang passed away, Mrs. Ding was heartbroken, and Mrs. Bian took the opportunity to make things bigger.During this hunt, Mrs. Bian's three sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, all came together, especially the third son, Cao Zhang, was majestic and majestic. During the hunt, he shot three rabbits in a row. commend.

Cao Cao came in person, looking at Cao Zhang who was holding a few rabbits in front of him, he was also very excited and his face was full of glory.Interested people even compared Cao Ang and Cao Anmin at this age, saying that Cao Zhang was superior.

The more everyone praised Cao Zhang, the more uncomfortable Cao Pi next to him felt.As the elder brother, three years older than Cao Zhang, the prey he got was not as good as his younger brother. Under such circumstances, one can imagine how unhappy he was deep in his heart.

Chapter 214 Yuan Shao's Sons

After the winter hunting, and approaching the first month, all the princes from all over the country put down their flags and drums, put their swords and guns into storage, and they all planned to stay at home and have a good year.

In the past six months, because of Xianbei's invasion, Yuan Shao had to shelve his plan to attack Gongsun Zan, and transferred all his troops to Bingzhou to fight against the enemy. Fortunately, Xianbei has retreated, and the foreign aggression has been eliminated. When the next spring begins, he will plan to encircle Beiping and destroy Gongsun Zan in one go. .

In the Da Sima Mansion of Yecheng, all the sons of the Yuan family rushed back to Yecheng from their respective autonomous offices, preparing to celebrate the Spring Festival.

Yuan Tan defeated Langya, and Qingzhou was looted by Cao Anmin.Unwillingly mobilizing a large army to attack Cao Anmin, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, it also caused a lot of losses to the states and counties of Qingzhou.For Yuan Shang's family, this was a godsend opportunity. Many people spoke out loudly in front of Yuan Shao and strongly demanded that he be removed from the position of governor of Qingzhou.

Although Yuan Shao was angry, but in terms of kinship, merits and demerits offset Yuan Tan's fault and let him still guard Qingzhou to guard against Cao Anmin.

Yuan Shao had three sons and one nephew. The eldest son Yuan Tan guarded Qingzhou, and his nephew Gao Gan guarded Bingzhou. The third son Yuan Shang was his favorite, and he didn't want him to leave, so he stayed by his side all the time.

Among the three sons of the Yuan family, the most tragic is the second son Yuan Xi.For one thing, like Yuan Tan, he was born in a concubine's house, but he was neither the elder nor the heir. Even if Yuan Shao passed away, he would at most be the third heir. No one under Yuan Shao's command and martial arts fell in love with him, so he was in an embarrassing situation.Second, Yuan Xi has always been keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. His own culture, military strategy, and state governance are mediocre, and there is nothing outstanding about him.Over time, even Yuan Shao lost interest in this second son.

Unexpectedly, Feng Shui took turns, and this time the battle of Bingzhou.Yuan Xi inadvertently recruited Luo Yi from Bingzhou, and worshiped him as a general and entrusted him with important tasks.With Luo Yi's sons Luo Song and Luo Cheng as generals, they defeated Xianbei in seven battles in a row within a few days, killing Xianbei to the point of defeat.It was precisely because of Yuan Xi's outstanding performance that Yuan Shao took the initiative in the battle and successfully drove the Xianbei bandits beyond the Great Wall.

In order to commend Yuan Xi's contribution, Yuan Shao had made a public promise to confer the title of governor of Youzhou on his second son, and Luo Yi and others were also conferred the titles of generals and entrusted them with important responsibilities.

Yuan Xi also regained his confidence because of this battle, and personally signed up, willing to be the vanguard, and will fight Gongsun Zan for the first time in the spring of next year.

It’s true that there is never a sunny day, and flowers are never red for a hundred days.Suddenly Yuan Shao's three sons divided into three camps, hating each other and confronting each other.

"Xiansi, Xianyi, Xianfu, today is New Year's Eve, you and my father and son have a good get together." Yuan Shao's face was full of red, although he was approaching the age of knowing his destiny, he looked as young as 40 or [-] years old.

"I'll toast my father." The three sons congratulated in unison, and drank the wine in their cups.

"Okay, okay!"

Once upon a time, Yuan Shao was very jealous of Cao Cao. Why did he, Cao Cao, have such a good life? First, he had a qualified heir like Cao Ang, and then he had a nephew like Cao Anmin who was good at fighting.Unexpectedly, Feng Shui took turns.Now, Cao Ang is dead, Anmin is far away, and the twin stars of Cao's family are gone.In contrast, on the contrary, my three sons liked it more and more.

"Father, it's cold in winter. You were unwell a few days ago. The doctor said that you still need to calm down and take care of yourself. It's better to drink less." Yuan Shang said respectfully. From the outside, he looked like a kind child who cared about his father. No one knows that under this seemingly kind skin, there is a heart that is unwilling to be lonely.

"Xianfu is serious. Father is in the prime of his life and in good health. How could he make such a fuss over drinking an extra cup?" Yuan Tan took the opportunity to ridicule Yuan Shang, saying that the two brothers would be at any time and any place.As long as one of them speaks, the other will inevitably refute, and Yuan Shao is used to it in the long run.

"Today is a family feast, I won't mess around with my brother."

Yuan Shao put down his wine glass and asked softly, "Xiansi, how is the situation in Qingzhou?"

Since its defeat by Cao Anmin, Qingzhou has suffered a lot.It's a pity that Yuan Tan lacks talents under his command. In the past, Xin Pi was responsible for all affairs, but Xin Pi was captured and the government affairs were neglected.If you want to reorganize Qingzhou, you must redeem him.In desperation, he could only send a special envoy to secretly talk in secret, and exchanged a lot of money for Simpi.

"Every place has been repaired. In view of the situation of Cao Jun's sea raid this time, Hai'er believes that we must also build our own sea fleet. Otherwise, this time Cao Anmin attacked Qingzhou, and the next time it may be Jizhou Youzhou."

Yuan Shao also knew why Yuan Tan was defeated by Cao Anmin.It was precisely because Yuan Tan's defeat was not due to his own strategy, but to the sharpness of Cao Jun's navy, that he was exonerated from the crime.

"Xiansi is indeed right. The thief Cao Anmin has strange tactics and has to be guarded against. According to what you said, after the Chinese New Year, we will immediately start recruiting experts to build our naval force in Qingzhou."

"Your order!" Yuan Tan was overjoyed, and just as he promised, Yuan Shang who was beside him suddenly interjected.

"Isn't Qingzhou too close? Cao Jun's navy is so powerful. If they attack the shipyard, they will suffer heavy losses. I hope my father will think about it."

When Yuan Tan heard this, he really wanted to go up and strangle Yuan Shang to death.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that where the navy is built, it is in the hands of the navy.Since the First Battle of Qingzhou, Yuan Tan's army has suffered heavy losses. It may take several years to recover on its own. But if there is this navy, Yuan Tan can use the money from the navy to recruit soldiers while You can have an extra army, so why not do it.

When Yuan Shao heard it, it seemed that it was indeed what Yuan Shang said.Building a naval army requires a lot of expenses, which is indeed no small matter.If half of it is destroyed by Cao Anmin, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Xianfu is right. The establishment of the navy is temporarily suspended. After we destroy Gongsun Zan and annex the land of Youzhou, we will find a stable place to place the navy in Youzhou."

Youzhou also has a long coastline. In particular, Youzhou is far away from the Central Plains and is less threatened by Xuzhou.Even if a warship is built, the news will not leak easily and attract Cao's army to attack.

Youzhou!

Yuan Xi was taken aback suddenly, a little surprised.He has not spoken all the time. In his opinion, such a good thing is generally impossible for him.How could he have imagined that this day's big pie would fall on his head out of thin air.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but take another look at Yuan Shang, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Yuan Shang nodded slightly, and cast a provocative look at Yuan Tan.Yuan Tan was so angry that he didn't get angry, and the cooked duck just flew away. He was really not reconciled.In particular, there is Cao Anmin, a powerful enemy, in the south of Qingzhou. If there is no way to sanction, Qingzhou will be defeated sooner or later.

But Yuan Shang would not think about it this way. In his opinion, even though Yuan Xi became stronger, he would never pose any threat to himself.As long as he can overwhelm Yuan Tan, the land of the four prefectures in Hebei will be completely in his hands.

Chapter 215 Cao Ang Returns

The south gate of Xuchang was bustling with people, and it was before the New Year's Eve. For the convenience of the people, the closing time of the city gate was postponed for half an hour every day.

Man Chong took a few entourages around to check the checkpoints.

"See you, my lord!" Seeing Man Chong approaching, the captain of Chengmen hurried up to salute.

"Well! Are there any problems today?"

"It's nothing, sir, don't worry, with our brothers here, there will be absolutely no problems, don't worry."

Man Chong nodded and was about to leave when a group of black cavalry appeared in his sight not far from the horizon.

"Huh?" At this time, very few troops would go to Xuchang.Even if the defense is changed, it's too late now. As Xuchang Commander, Man Chong naturally takes protecting Xuchang's safety as his most important task.

After Cao Anmin left, the Central Military Academy was first taken over by Man Chong for a period of time, and then handed over to Cao Ang.Since Cao Ang resigned from all military positions, all the government affairs of the military academy have been handed over to Guo Jia. Unfortunately, Guo Jia is a prodigal son. It became more and more difficult to enter. The military academy that Cao Anmin worked so hard to establish at the beginning has completely become a plaything of the aristocratic family.

After resigning from the post of military academy, Man Chong felt at ease to ensure the safety of Xuchang.These days, it's not bad.

This team of cavalry was extremely fast, and soon came under the city gate.Seeing the fluttering flag, Man Chong heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Wei Yan, the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Since the Xuanjia Army gained a great reputation, Cao Cao hastily formed his own cavalry unit.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appeared.As in history, Cao Chun is the commander and Wei Yan is the deputy governor.

"Wen Chang." Man Chong saluted.
