After hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shao laughed and said nothing.
He knew that Ju Shou's words had some meaning.
The Zhen family of Zhongshan is also one of the noble families in Hebei. Compared with those deep-rooted and powerful clans, the Zhen family is characterized by its wealth.
Just like the Mi family, who made their fortune through money and industry, the Zhen family occupied a place in the Hebei gentry circle by virtue of their huge financial resources and business channels.
Zhen Yi, the previous head of the Zhen family, served as Shang Cai Ling when he was still alive. The family was considered prosperous because of the hereditary salary of two thousand shi from his ancestors. After Zhen Yi's death, the head of the family became his eldest son Zhen Yao. Although he was filial and honest, he was
Due to lack of ability, he is still not an official, but Zhen Yi's second son, Zhen Yan, once served as the head of Quliang, and he continued his status in the court for the family.
It's a pity that the sky is unpredictable and people have misfortunes and misfortunes. The year before last, Zhen Yan died of illness at the age of only thirty. As a result, although the entire Zhen family was called a noble family, there was not even a male who entered the officialdom.
He immediately fell into an embarrassing situation.
A nobleman who is not an official cannot be called a nobleman at all. Only power can continue the family's past glory and development status in the future world. Without the protection of officials, a nobleman is not a nobleman, and can only be called a small tycoon at best.
Suddenly, the entire Zhen family fell into a major crisis because of Zhen Yan's death.
It was at this time that Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Shao, set his sights on Zhen Mi, Zhen Yi's daughter, by chance.
There are two bridges in the east of the river, Zhen Mi Qiao in Hebei, and a Diao in the Central Plains.
Zhen Mi is not very old, but under the premise that all the men of the Zhen family are responsible for conquering the officialdom, the Zhen family's large commercial industry will be controlled by this woman.
Since Zhen Yi's death, the Zhen family's business has been handed over to Zhen Mi. Although she is a woman, she has managed the entire Zhen family's business chain in an orderly manner. She is unique in the entire Hebei commercial market and has greatly started Zhen Mi's business.
surname.
And her beauty is unparalleled in Hebei, and she is admired by many noble nobles.
Yuan Xi is also one of them.
The Zhen family's loss of Zhen Yan meant they lost their backbone. Under such circumstances, Yuan Xi wanted to take advantage of the situation and marry Zhen Mi, and begged Yuan Shao to help him make the decision.
Although Yuan Xi is the least favored among Yuan Shao's three children, after all, it still fell out of his body... The ejaculated meat, his son asked for it, and Yuan Shao had no choice but to help, but after all, it was a major wedding event, and Yuan Shao decided to go there in person.
Keep an eye on things.
Where can any woman enter the Yuan family's gate wall?
However, at this glance, Yuan Shao was so amazed by Zhen Mi's beauty and intelligence that he couldn't help himself.
If Yuan Xi hadn't asked for it beforehand, Yuan Shao would have wanted to score twice and take this little girl into his house as a concubine and enjoy it for himself.
How to describe it.
Zhen Mi is not only stunningly beautiful, she is also unparalleled in intelligence, has extremely high emotional intelligence, and has a very lovable personality.
A beautiful woman can only be called a vixen at best, but a girl with a beautiful appearance and high emotional intelligence who can mess up the heart and lungs is the bane of beauty.
However, the matter of marrying Zhen Mi was put on hold by the Yuan family because of the outbreak of the Guandu War.
It wasn't until today that the old matter was brought up again.
Back then, Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shao to marry Zhen Mi, which was a big deal in Yecheng. Jushou specifically told Yuan Shao about it today. Firstly, he was afraid that there would be a gap between the father and son because of this matter. Secondly, he also questioned Yuan Shao.
This beauty trap doesn't work.
It is said that the two wives of the pottery merchant are the top beauties in the world, and according to rumors, he also has several beautiful maids and concubines, each of whom is more charming than the other. Can Zhen Mi successfully seduce the pottery merchant?
Besides, Tao Shang is so smart, even if Zhen Mi hooks up with him, there is no way she can play with him.
The most important thing is whether Zhen Mi, as the daughter of the Zhen family, will agree to this.
What kind of person is Yuan Shao? He has naturally thought about all the disadvantages that Jushou can think of.
Yuan Shao explained to Ju Shou: "Be careful. Yuan has been planning this matter for a long time during the day and feels that it is indeed feasible. Although the pottery merchant is cunning, he is twenty-four this year. He is young and greedy."
When he was lustful, Yuan had also seen Zhen Mi's beauty and charm before. Yuan was nearly fifty years old and he had a lot of affection for the daughter of the Zhen family, let alone a pottery merchant? So this beauty trick,
It’s really doable.”
Tian Feng bared his teeth in pain and said, "It's just that the Zhen family girl comes from a noble family. Will she agree to such a plan?"
Yuan Shao said with a smile: "This matter naturally requires some means. Zhen Yan is now dead in the Zhen family, and the only male left is Zhen Yao. Zhen Yao has no talent and wisdom, but he has been idle since he promoted Xiaolian. I
Now they are going to recruit him into the army. He is called an arm, but it is actually for control. This is the only male left in the Zhen family, and he is holding it in Yuan's hand. It is up to them to decide whether they want to be obedient... As for Xian Yi,
Bian, I feel sorry for him to some extent, but for the sake of national affairs and the personal relationship between children, it is natural that I have to make sacrifices."
Jushou said again: "But the pottery merchants are cunning..."
Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Yuan, the daughter of the Zhen family, has seen her before. When it comes to wisdom, she is by no means inferior to the one named Tao. She is very intelligent and can do sensible things."
After saying that, Yuan Shao turned to look at Tian Feng and said, "Yuan will consider the matter of the Zhen family daughter later. The most urgent task is to send you to the pottery merchant's camp first."
Tian Feng stood up with a grin on his face, and said to Yuan Shao: "The general must have a plan in his mind, so he might as well give the order directly, Feng must be able to do anything."
Yuan Shao nodded happily and said: "That said, I'm afraid it will make Yuan Hao and your family suffer a little bit."
…
On the second day, Yuan Shao wrote the letter himself, prepared gifts, and sent people to the pottery merchant's camp to sue for peace.
But just when the envoy was about to set off, Tian Feng, supported by his attendants, dressed in white clothes and a white scarf on his head, came to organize the meeting and shouted loudly, saying that Yuan Shaoruo insisted on going his own way and that Hebei's great cause was ruined.
It is inevitable that he will be doomed. Today I am here to mourn Yuan Shao.
Now let alone Yuan Shao, even the civil and military officials in Hebei felt that Tian Feng was going too far.
Yuan Shao immediately ordered Tian Feng to be beaten to death with sticks to relieve his hatred.
All the counselors in Jizhou, led by Jushou, shouted for mercy, but Yuan Shao just refused.
In the end, it was Jushu who said that killing important ministers in front of the battle would easily affect the morale of the army, so Yuan Shao gave up temporarily.
He ordered Tian Feng to be escorted to Yecheng and imprisoned, and he would wait until he put down the rebellion in Hebei before asking to cut the sacrificial flag.
A few days later, the pottery merchants who were pacifying the counties in Linzi City and preparing for the winter with deep ditches and high forts received letters and gifts from the peace envoy sent by Yuan Shao.
The potter was confused at that time.
Yuan Shao took away his territory, but instead of cleaning up his territory, he sued for peace from him?
