A heavy snowfall at the end of the year has added a lot of chill to Youzhou. Spring is about to begin, but the weather is getting colder and colder. The icicles under the eaves shine with an icy air under the eyes, adding a bit of severe cold.
Chill...
Yuan Xi's face was ashen.
He has a tall and straight figure and good appearance.
Although he is not as tall as Yuan Tan, nor as powerful as Yuan Shang, he has a bookish air and a hint of elegance.
However, at this time, Yuan Xi could not see the slightest bit of elegance, he was like a wounded beast.
"Madam is missing? How is it possible... She was fine in Yecheng, how could she disappear all of a sudden?"
"Second Young Master, please stop being angry. It's not because Third Young Master is not trying his best, but...
My wife did not disappear in Yecheng, but disappeared in Zhongshan Kingdom. Last month, the old lady was feeling unwell, so she asked her to return home. Later, the old lady gradually recovered, and she left her hometown in Wuji. But it has been more than half a month.
, but there has been no news. The Third Young Master was busy with the war at the time, so he didn't pay much attention... It wasn't until the middle of the month that the magistrate of Wuji County came to Yecheng to report on his work and accidentally revealed the matter, and he realized that the situation was not good.
The Third Young Master immediately sent someone to Wuji Zhen's house to inquire, but the answer he got was that he had already left.
Originally, the Third Young Master thought that the Zhen family had deliberately concealed the Madam's whereabouts, and had second thoughts. However, the Wuji County Magistrate proved that the Madam had indeed left Wuji. When the Third Young Master arrived, he immediately asked people to investigate along the way, and discovered her halfway.
Madam’s chariot, and the bodyguards…”
Yuan Xi's body was shaking non-stop.
After a while, there was a roar: "Who is it? Who could it be!"
The thin body exuded a trace of murderous aura. The messenger remained silent for a long time and said cowardly: "The Third Young Master has ordered people to sweep away the bandits from Yecheng to Zhongshan to find the whereabouts of his wife. However, Mr. Zhengnan believes that this is definitely not the case.
It was the work of ordinary bandits... Madam's bodyguards were all the bodyguards of the Third Young Master. They were brave and many in number. However, they were killed silently. Not even one of them could escape.
He said that the other party is definitely a powerful person."
Yuan Xi's heart moved and he blurted out: "Zhang Yan?"
"Mr. Zhengnan also speculated like this. But..."
"But what?"
"Now Zhang Yan has frequent and close contacts with the old thief Cao Cao, and seems to be willing to join Cao Cao.
Mr. Zhengnan feels that this time is very likely to be related to the old thief... Everyone in the world knows that the old thief is lustful and still loves that charming woman. Previously in Wancheng, he had ruined the lives of his parents and children for a woman, and even more so in Xuzhou
He occupied the Du family, the wife of Lu Bu's general Qin Yilu, and even had a very unpleasant quarrel with his general. His wife was beautiful and known to the world, and the old thief Cao Cao was... Mr. Zhengnan felt that it was probably Zhang Yan who was trying to get old age.
The thief does what he likes."
"Shut up, shut up!"
Yuan Xi was furious, wandering around the house like a wounded beast.
He was the second son of Yuan Shao, but he was born as a concubine. He was not as favored by Yuan Shao as his wife Yuan Tan, and he was not as favored by Yuan Shao as Yuan Shang. Among Yuan Shao's disciples, Yuan Xi was the least valued. Later, Yuan Shao dominated Hebei and allowed Yuan Shao to
Xi guarded Youzhou and served as the governor of Youzhou. However, in terms of status, he was not even as senior as Yuan Shao's nephew, so his life was very unsatisfactory.
However, Yuan Xi still had a happy marriage, that is, he married the daughter of Zhen family, a wealthy family in Zhongshan, named Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi is very virtuous, literary and filial.
Yuan Shang's mother, Mrs. Liu, loved Zhen Mi very much. When Yuan Xi became the governor of Youzhou, Mrs. Liu kept Zhen Mi by her side. On the one hand, she was reluctant to part with her, but on the other hand, she also had the intention of restraining Yuan Xi. After all,
Yuan Xi controls Fuyouzhou and has a close relationship with the Wuwan people in western Liaoning. If he doesn't exercise restraint, he may become a nuisance to his confidants sooner or later.
Yuan Xi did not refuse.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Yuan Shang, so he agreed to Zhen Mi staying in Yecheng.
Who knew...
My wife was kidnapped!
Yuan Xi has a somewhat cowardly temperament, and to put it bluntly, he is indecisive.
When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were fighting, he always remained neutral. Even when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yecheng, Yuan Xi was still hesitant.
He didn't know whether to help Yuan Shang, and at the same time he was worried that being caught between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would be embarrassing.
Simply ignore it and guard Youzhou.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shao left a solid foundation for the Yuan family.
With Cao Cao's power, it took several years to unify Hebei after Yuan Shao's death. However, the Yuan brothers were fighting among themselves and were suspicious of each other. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have been trying to win over Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi has never been willing to do so.
Willing to take a stand.
"Old thief, you bullied me too much."
No matter how weak you are, if your wife is taken away and your head turns green, you will feel angry. What's more, Yuan Xi loves Zhen Mi very much. Cao Cao kidnapped Zhen Mi, which really touched Yuan Xi's bottom line.
.
"Cao Cao, Zhang Yan, you and I vow to be incompatible."
As he spoke, Yuan Xi shouted sternly: "Come here, please quickly order Zhang Nanjiao, mobilize his troops and horses, and follow me to level the Black Mountain... Also, order people to go to Wuwan and ask Tadun Chanyu for help. Just say that someone owes you something."
He is just a favor, please lend me 20,000, no! 30,000 Karasuma cavalry."
"Here!"
After Yuan Xi gave the order, he sat down like a deflated ball.
After a long time, he said to the messenger: "Go back and tell your third brother that there is no need to worry about Zhang Yan, I will kill him myself."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the same time, far away in the mansion in Yecheng, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei were whispering.
"Sir, do you think your second brother is really capable of sending troops?"
The judge smiled and said, "Although the second young master is cowardly, he loves Mrs. Zhen very much. As long as he gets the news, he will definitely send troops to help. By then, the lord does not have to worry about the Black Mountain bandits. There is no way that the second young master will still be there."
My lord invites the Karasuma Tuqi to help. When the time comes, my lord will be able to get a helping hand, and the Cao thieves will be defeated."
When Yuan Shang heard this, he immediately smiled.
He was secretly glad that he was very respectful to Shen Pei back then, and now he was valued by Shen Pei.
Unlike Guo Tu Feng Ji, Yuan Shang worked hard with his counterpart, and his talents were indeed outstanding.
At least in Yuan Shang's view, the talent of the judge is superior to Guo Tufengji...
However, he immediately suppressed his smile, shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid it's hard for my second brother alone to save the current situation. That scoundrel didn't care about his father's hatred, and actually colluded with the old thief to destroy the foundation laid by his father...
...Although he is incompetent, he is the son of a big woman after all. With him around, the old thief has a better chance of winning."
The scoundrel Yuan Shang calls is Yuan Tan.
Speaking of which, although Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan competed for control of Hebei, they did not do badly at the beginning.
At least when Yuan Tan was in danger, Yuan Shang sent troops to help. However, Yuan Tan wanted to swallow up his troops, causing the two to conflict and plan, and then turned against each other. It is difficult to tell clearly who is right and who is wrong in this grudge. Maybe in
From Yuan Tan's point of view, he is the eldest son, the legitimate eldest son, and the legitimate heir. Why should you, Yuan Shang, occupy Yecheng and compete with yourself for the position of heir? Those soldiers and horses should originally belong to me...
…
As for Yuan Shang, he had another idea.
He had been favored by Yuan Shao since he was a child, and Yuan Shao had expressed his intention to make him his heir on several occasions.
I am someone whom my father values, and I am more talented and powerful than you. Why should I let you be the lord of Hebei? Besides, for the sake of brotherhood, I sent troops to help you. But you want to swallow up my troops?
Isn't it about repaying kindness with hatred?
Coupled with the constant instigation by counselors on both sides, the two brothers finally turned against each other.
However, although Yuan Shang was arrogant, he also knew that Cao Cao was powerful.
So when he learned about the disappearance of Mrs. Zhen, he immediately had an idea. Shen Pei also believed that whether Mrs. Zhen was kidnapped by Cao Cao or not, it must be Cao Cao. Who gave Lao Cao a bad reputation?
Not to mention lustful, but I like other people's wives the most... Mrs. Zou in Wancheng and Mrs. Du in Xuzhou are both examples of this.
Even Cao Peng was a little wary of him, otherwise he wouldn't have fought so hard to send Lu Bu's family away when he was in Xuzhou.
Shen Pei believes that only in this way can Yuan Xi send troops to help.
After hearing what Yuan Shang said, the judge laughed.
"My Lord, don't worry. Ordering the Second Young Master to send troops is only the first step, and there is a second step."
"Oh? Sir, please clarify."
"I don't know, young master, could you please pay attention to Hexi?"
"Hexi?"
The judge nodded and said: "The old thief is greedy and is eager to control Liangzhou before Hebei is decided.
He ordered his nephew Cao Peng to go out to control the remote area in Hexi. But although it was a remote area, it was also the place where Ma Teng lived. Ma Teng had long had ambitions for Hexi. Although he was intimidating in Xiliang, in the end
It's a little smaller, and it's also a little dangerous. Now that the old thief wants to take Hexi, Ma Teng's interests have been touched. Why don't your lord write a letter and humbly ask Ma Teng to send troops? While the old thief's foundation in Hexi is not stable,
At that time, let Ma Teng gain control of Hexi, and then immediately threaten Guanzhong and cause Guanzhong to tremble. The Lord then asked Gao Jishi to send troops to harass Hedong, so that the old thieves could not take care of the end. In this way, there will be chaos in Guanzhong... Chaos in Guanzhong will lead to Heluo.
If there is chaos in Heluo, then there will be chaos in Henan."
After Yuan Shang heard this, his eyes sparkled.
He clapped his hands and laughed and said: "With Sir's plan, the old thief will be defeated!"

It was dark at night, Cao Peng was naked, holding a long knife, and his mind was blank.
I saw an equally naked woman lying in the box, her hair was messy, and her whole body was tied with ropes, which outlined her beautiful curves. A piece of coarse cloth was stuffed in the woman's mouth, and she had a pair of somewhat lifeless breasts.
Her bright eyes stared at Cao Peng, showing a horrified light. She whimpered and wanted to cry out, struggling desperately in the box, but the wonderful thing was revealed, making people's blood rush. Cao Peng found that he was actually very shameful...
...hard!
what is this?
Romantic action movie... or is it a bondage movie?
Seeing the beauty in front of him who was tied up like a rice dumpling, Cao Peng couldn't help but swallow his saliva and unconsciously took a step forward.
The angry and raised giant python then trembled slightly.
The fear in the woman's eyes became even stronger as she struggled desperately in the box. However, this struggle was even more fascinating...
