Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1036 How to break the situation
After Yuan Xi finished telling the story of the Battle of Chaohu and Hefei, Lu Su's face turned even paler. So many things had happened in just ten days?
And this was a living army of hundreds of thousands in Jiangdong, and it was just gone?
His mind was extremely confused for a while, and he suspected that Yuan Xi was lying to him. It was unimaginable to Lu Su that Yuan Xi could conquer the city of Jiangdong with less and more!
But if everything is true, then Jiangdong is in danger!
In fact, Lu Su and Zhou Yu privately criticized Sun Quan's approach of joining forces with Cao Cao. They both felt that Cao Cao had a big plan and would launch troops to Jiangdong sooner or later.

But Jiang Dong really didn't have a good choice, because Jiang Dong had a more direct conflict of interest with Yuan Xi and Liu Bei, so Zhou Yu thought that he should first use Cao Cao's power to drive the fierce tiger out of Jianghuai, and take the opportunity to occupy Jingzhou, forming a situation of three parts of the world. Seems acceptable.

Although Lu Su did not completely agree with Zhou Yu's approach, he understood that the one who really wanted to do this was Sun Quan. He was unable to change Sun Quan's mind, so he volunteered to take over the job even though he knew that coming to Shouchun to negotiate with Yuan Xi was delaying time. The reason for the mission is to be unable to control this contradictory mentality.

But he didn't expect that after arriving in Shouchun, he would be put under house arrest. Lu Su later figured out that Yuan Xi was actually equally insincere, but it was already too late, and he could only do nothing about it.

He thought that the two sides would break up, and it might be a year and a half later at the earliest, but he didn't expect that the two sides would start fighting so soon, nor did he expect that Jiangdong would send out so many people. This was obviously premeditated, and he might be on his mission. Jiangdong had started preparing to take action before.

Lu Su felt betrayed by this, but he could do nothing now, so he could only wait for the day when the outcome of the war would be decided.

In his expectation, although the Jiangdong Navy had the upper hand, Yuan Xi's side had the advantage of the location. The two sides would have been in a stalemate for several months. But what he never expected was that the Jiangdong Navy would be defeated within a few days. He failed, and he failed so miserably!
Lu Su calmed himself down and said: "Since my lord is defeated, then Su is of no use to the envoy, right?"

"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."

Yuan Xi looked at Lu Su and suddenly laughed, "Mr. Zijing is really undermining his talents by staying in Jiangdong."

"Have you considered coming to my side?"

He turned to Lu Su, "Mr. Zijing, you should know that my ambition is to pacify the world, and Cao Cao is similar. Neither of us will allow Jiangdong to exist."

After hearing this, Lu Su's face was uncertain, and the heaven and man were fighting in his heart. When Yuan Xi saw it, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and Lu Su began to waver.

Lu Su's face became paler after hearing this. Yuan Xi meant what he said!

Yuan Xi said slowly: "I am not going to leave a way for Jiang Dong to survive this time."

"And now the only one who can serve as a bridge is Mr. Zijing."

Lu Su was a very loyal person, and it was difficult for him to surrender directly. However, he was soft-hearted, so Yuan Xi changed his words and kidnapped the other party morally. However, the other party could not refuse, and he was in a dilemma.

"So I will give you some time to think about it."

He stood up and said, "I will come see you sir in a few days, but I would like to remind you that there is not much time left for Jiang Dong."

"But the difference between me and Cao Cao is that I don't want too many people to die, whether they are nobles or common people."

"So within a certain room for maneuver, I still want to try my best."

"If I reveal my intention to fight to the death with Jiangdong, no, against the Sun family, how many families in Jiangdong will start to waver?"

Lu Su thought to himself, isn’t that you?
Zhou Yu was defeated by you many times, so his career was naturally hindered. He was thinking of taking revenge on you this time, but unexpectedly he was defeated again. Who should I tell him about this?
Yuan Xi seemed to understand Lu Su's thoughts and sighed; "I know Zhou Yu is very prejudiced against me, but since both sides are enemies, they should do everything they can to destroy the other side. This is the biggest threat to the opponent." respect."

Lu Su was startled, then flatly refused: "Su, thank you so much for your kindness. If Lu betrays Duke Wu and takes refuge with your envoy, he will be a treacherous person, and he cannot do anything about it."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said, "I know that you are loyal and loyal, but has Jiangdong ever really reused you?"

"But on the other hand, this doesn't mean killing everyone."

Lu Su was silent, Yuan Xi was right, fighting for the world is so cruel, Xiu Hu can understand it, but it is a pity that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu underestimated Xiu Hu's determination and methods, which led to today's defeat, right?

"This will definitely be detrimental to the reputation of innocence that Mr. wants."

"Of course, Mr. Zijing helped me. Although he can save many people in Jiangdong, he will be regarded as a traitor by Jiangdong."

Yuan Xi solemnly said: "On the battlefield, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."

"It's Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. When Sun Ce was alive, he contributed a lot. Now that Sun Quan has been replaced, it seems that he hasn't been given the status he deserves, right?"

"But if someone coerces the people and asks Jiang Dong to be buried with him, then I don't mind using the most drastic means."

After saying that, he left Lu Su in a daze and went straight out.

Yuan Xi walked all the way in the courtyard. In fact, his current situation was not as easy as he said to Lu Su. The main reason was that Cao Cao was under too much pressure outside the city. Although it was not possible for him to break the city, if he could Determined to spend his time here and risking the lives of the people in Jianghuai, Yuan Xi could not spare his hands to deal with Jiangdong. Yuan Xi thought about it, what method could be used to make Cao Cao retreat?

He immediately thought of Mrs. Ding, and then he burst into laughter. If Cao Cao could retreat for the sake of a divorced wife, then he would not have to talk about fighting for the world. Even if he could agree, his subordinates would lose confidence.

It is better to say that Yuan Xi was eager for Cao Cao to agree. This would greatly shake Cao Cao's military morale and make Cao Cao's subordinates guess what exactly Cao Cao had exchanged with him.

Otherwise, Mrs. Ding would be of no use in his own hands. It would be like bringing a bottle of oil. Yuan Xi didn't really care about having such an extra mouthful of food, but he couldn't use it to its full potential. Was he still not ruthless enough?

After all, I don't fully understand Cao Cao's weaknesses. Even if I threaten Mrs. Ding, I will only get more crazy revenge from Cao Cao, right?

Yuan Xi was a little glad that he had left his family in Youzhou. Although the border area was bitterly cold, it was far away from the enemy, which made it safer. Otherwise, if his family were wiped out by the enemy, it would be a big blow to him.

He thought of Cao Ang who was exiled to Xu Wushan to cultivate wasteland, and suddenly stopped. It seemed that Mrs. Ding raised Cao Ang from an early age and regarded him as his own son. Maybe he could try to start from here?
Thinking of this, he turned around and headed towards the small courtyard where Mrs. Ding was imprisoned. When he got to the door, he ordered the guard to unlock the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he heard the sound of the spinning wheel shaking and thought to Mrs. Ding. I really like textiles.

Cao Qing had heard the voice early and came out to greet him anxiously. Although she leaned over to salute, she still couldn't help but glance at Yuan Xi secretly, as if there was a hint of expectation.

As a result, Yuan Xi's words made her feel like a bucket of cold water was poured on her head, "I'm going to come to Mrs. Ding to say a few words. You first go to the room next to her to avoid her."

After hearing this, Cao Qing got up and walked out unwillingly. She thought to herself that she had reached the age of marriage and her appearance was not good. Why couldn't she be compared to Mrs. Ding?

Could it be that this fierce tiger really likes wives more than his father?
Not mentioning that Cao Qing left with random thoughts, Yuan Xi entered the house and saw Mrs. Ding sitting in front of the spinning wheel with her back to him. She did not get up to greet her, but was concentrating on spinning cloth.

Yuan Xi said: "How are you doing, Madam?"

Mrs. Ding snorted and said coldly: "Of course it's not good. I think about it day and night, and I wish I could kill you."

Seeing Madam Ding's fierce words, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Madam is quite powerful. Aren't you afraid that I will really execute Madam in my anger?"

"I think Madam may not want to die. Otherwise, Madam would have committed suicide long ago. Why wait until today?"

Mrs. Ding said bitterly: "Because I want to see you die first!"

Yuan Xi knew where Madam Ding's hatred for him came from. He smiled and said, "I think Madam is just tough-talking. I know why Madam hates me, but everyone relies on their own abilities on the battlefield. If I am killed by Cao Cao, I’m just afraid that my family will end up in a more miserable situation, right?”

Mrs. Ding's face froze. Even though she hated Yuan Xi very much, she had to admit that Cao Cao was indeed not very kind to the female relatives of his enemies. She had tried to persuade her, but Cao Cao still insisted on his own way.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Ding broke up with Cao Cao resolutely after Cao Ang's death. She didn't care that Cao Cao went to find a woman, but because the woman killed Cao Ang, it completely touched Mrs. Ding's bottom line, so Mrs. Ding will never forgive Cao Cao. .

Mrs. Ding discovered that from the perspective of the culprits, both Cao Cao and Yuan Xi were the murderers of Cao Ang's death. She really couldn't say who was more responsible.

Yuan Xi spoke out: "Cao Cao has brought a large army to attack Shouchun."

Mrs. Ding was startled, and then her expression turned ugly. Naturally, she would not think that Cao Cao attacked the city to save her. On the contrary, if this was the case, her situation would be worrying, and the fierce tiger would probably use her to blackmail Cao Cao.

Mrs. Ding knew that Cao Cao was not the kind of person who would give up the world for his family, but the key to this matter was whether Yuan Xixiang believed it. If he believed it, then his current situation would be very dangerous!
Sure enough, Yuan Xi said to her: "I want my wife to write a letter to Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ding sneered: "Don't even think about it!"

"I know what you want to do, but you just want to use me to hit him. I can tell you, he is not that kind of person!"

Yuan Xiqi asked: "Don't you want to leave this place?"

Mrs. Ding sneered and said: "Since I have been captured by you, my reputation is no longer guaranteed. Even if I leave the city, how can I still have the face to see others?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Madam, you are really a strange woman."

"Now that everything is like this, how about we make a fake show and do it for real?"

Mrs. Ding did not expect Yuan Xi to suddenly say such shameless words, and her face turned red immediately.
