Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237
Hua Tuo hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the servants around him had gone out, he whispered, "Master Yang gave me a generous gift, asking me to check the pulse of Kong Rong's daughter in the name of seeing a doctor."

Chen Deng didn't realize it for a while, what's the pulse check for?
Hua Tuo added: "Yuanlong knows about unmarried women."

Only then did Chen Deng understand, and he lost his voice: "Isn't this too rude?"

"Isn't it clear that you doubt Wen Jugong's character?"

Hua Tuo nodded and said: "That's why they came to me in private, and told me not to leak the news."

Chen Deng sighed: "Although it is rude, but think about it, Kong Rong's daughter was kidnapped twice, and it is reasonable for Taishan Yang to have such concerns."

"What do you think, Mr. Yuanhua?"

Hua Tuo said angrily: "What am I thinking, I think Yang is seriously ill!"

"Is it perfect, and the pulse can be felt?"

"They didn't go to Wen Po, but came to find this old man, a doctor. This is a whore and erecting a memorial archway, trying to push everything on me!"

After hearing this, Chen Deng laughed and said, "That's true, sir, this is a dilemma."

Hua Tuo twirled his beard and said, "It's just that, but the Yang family hinted to me that no matter whether Kong Rong's daughter has any problems, I'd better make up a reason to break the two sides."

After hearing this, Chen Deng lost his voice and said: "Doesn't this mean that the Yang family has long made up their minds and doesn't want to marry the Kong family?"

He thought about it carefully, Kong Rong's daughter had already fallen into the enemy's hands twice, even if she could really keep her innocence, so what, wouldn't she still be ridiculed?

The Yang family's aristocratic family couldn't afford to lose this man, so they wanted to find a high-sounding excuse to divorce, but this method is a bit low-handed? .

Chen Deng said: "What do you want to do, sir?"

Hua Tuo said angrily: "I still have to go, but of course I'm telling the truth, otherwise, wouldn't this old man be ignorant of his conscience?"

After hearing this, Chen Deng praised: "Mr. is indeed a gentleman, so have you returned all the gifts they gave you?"

Hua Tuo stared: "What are you going back!"

"That doggy Yang family wants to cheat me, even if I throw the gift money to the dogs, I won't return it to them!"

Chen Deng laughed.

Liu Bei sent Kong Rong's family away and ordered someone to settle them properly. Then he returned to the mansion with his wife and daughter's carriage.

He came to the front of the carriage and said to the inside: "Madam is suffering."

The door of the carriage opened, Mrs. Liu Bei led her two daughters down, and said indifferently: "I don't suffer, but my husband is bothered."

Liu Bei listened to the resentment in Madam's words, and said with a wry smile: "Madam, let's go back to the house and rest first."

At this time, a young woman with extremely white skin, like jade fat, came out of the room, approached, saluted Mrs. Liu Bei, and said, "Welcome Mrs. Liu to escape from the prison."

This is Liu Beixin's concubine Gan. Although the facial features are outstanding, they are not without flaws. However, as the saying goes, white covers white ugliness. The most outstanding feature is the smooth and greasy skin, like a piece of jade Generally speaking, everyone who has seen it is amazed.

When Mrs. Liu Bei saw her, she felt slightly displeased. Both came from a poor and humble background. Why is there such a big difference between the Gan family and myself? Can a farm girl really have such skin?
She proudly said: "During my absence, Madam has worked hard."

Mrs. Gan rushed up to support Mrs. Liu Bei's arm, and said modestly: "Madam, I am honored. Being able to share the master's worries is a concubine's job."

"However, my concubine's work is rough and careless, and there are still many mistakes. Now that my wife has returned safely, I am very happy to mention the matter of ordering the inner house."

Mrs. Liu Bei saw that Gan's posture was so low, and she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling face, her face turned pale, and she couldn't say anything.

Seeing Liu Bei, he coughed and said to Gan, "I still have something to do, so please take care of Madam."

After Liu Bei left, Mrs. Liu Bei walked in and said to Mrs. Gan: "Tell me carefully, what happened to marrying Mrs. Mi?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gan hurriedly said in a low voice: "Fortunately, Madam is back, otherwise Mrs. Mi would have passed the door."

While talking about the Mi family's affairs, she observed the words and expressions, seeing that Mrs. Liu Bei was coaxing her to nod her head again and again, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For her, of course she looks forward to Mrs. Liu Bei's return very much.

Although Mrs. Liu Bei has been married to Liu Bei for many years, she was born in a poor family, could not read, was old and decrepit, and had an upright temper, so she was not liked by Liu Bei.

Although he was a concubine, after passing through the door, Liu Bei asked himself to replace the upright Mrs. Liu Bei to manage the affairs of the inner house.

Of course Gan is delighted, with this job, she can gradually improve her status, and Mrs. Liu Bei is not likable, so sooner or later she will find a chance to stand up.

But Mi's is different.

When Gan Shi heard that Liu Bei was going to marry Mi Shi, she was extremely disturbed.

Mi's back is backed by the Mi family, no matter if she is the main wife or a concubine, after she comes in, she will definitely overwhelm herself, and I heard that the Mi family is young and beautiful, so she may have taken away her favor.

What's even more frightening is that the Mi family is different from Mrs. Liu Bei. She was born in a noble family, well educated and respectful, and she is very clear about housekeeping.

If Mi Shi intends to target him, maybe he will not be able to stand up in this life.

Therefore, in Gan's heart, he was very happy that Mrs. Liu Bei could come back. It is better to have a muddleheaded regular wife than a shrewd and powerful one.

The inside and outside of Xiapi City have already become one, and there are dead bodies all over the city.

Cao Ang smelled the bloody smell and stench coming towards him, his face was pale, and he was bored to vomit. Xia Houyuan who was next to him saw him and said, "My lord, you can retreat to Dazhai."

Cao Ang shook his head and said: "Father asked me to come here to adapt to the battle formation. At this time, all the generals are fighting bloody battles in front of the formation. How can I retreat?"

Seeing that Cao Ang insisted, Xia Houyuan didn't want to force it. Seeing that his offensive had slowed down a bit and an army had retreated, he personally led his soldiers to make up for it.

It was Cao Ren who retreated, and when the two handed over, Cao Ren said: "The defense on the other side is very methodical, so be careful."

Xia Houyuan said: "Don't worry, Zixiao, look at me!"

As soon as he led his troops to the point of shooting, he heard the sound of a clapper on the top of the wall, and a black flag stretched out from the top of the wall, pointing directly at his direction.

At the next moment, all the hundred and ten archers in the city stood up, and when they stretched their bows, a round of arrows rained down on Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan saw a black mass of arrows coming, and quickly raised his arms to cover it, only to hear the tinkling sound, at least a dozen arrows shot at his armor, and the impact made him dizzy.

Suddenly his horse fell forward under his crotch. Xia Houyuan knew that it was an arrow in the horse, so he got off the horse in embarrassment and rolled several times on the ground.

He stood up in embarrassment, flew into a rage, and shouted at the soldiers: "Follow me!"

The soldiers under him suddenly agreed, and followed Xia Houyuan to the foot of the city wall.

Zhou Yu at the top of the city was covered in armor. Seeing that Cao Jun was so unafraid of death, he felt depressed. The two sides fought for several days, with heavy casualties, but no one dared to show fatigue.

Moreover, several generals from Cao Jun came this time. Zhou Yu found famous people, including Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Shi Huan, Han Hao and others.

These people took the lead and attacked the walls of Tancheng separately, making it extremely difficult for Zhou Yu to defend.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan rushed to the city wall with his soldiers desperately and began to climb the city wall, Zhou Yu had no choice but to lead the generals to resist hard. After fighting for half a day, both sides were exhausted.

At this time Xia Houyuan led his troops back, Cao Ren led his men up again, Zhou Yu secretly complained, the other side made it clear that they wanted to consume him to death!

Seeing that the top of the city was about to fall, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and was about to mobilize the people in the city to go up to the top of the city, when he heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance.

Zhou Yu looked from a distance, and saw seven or eight banners erected among hundreds of cavalry, rushing towards the middle army of Cao Jun!

Xia Houyuan, who had just retreated, was obviously not very prepared. His soldiers were at the end of their strength at this time, and they were scattered all at once, and Cao Jun's central army was in chaos.

Zhou Yu saw that it was Sun Ce who took the lead, and he led Huang Gai, Han Dang and others to rush Cao Jun's flanks to pieces.

Now the generals of the Cao army who are attacking the city are panicked, but Cao Ang is in this formation!

Several generals, including Cao Ren, returned to the rescue one after another. Sun Ce rushed several times but returned without success, so he took a chance and came towards the city gate with his subordinates.

Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered people to open the city gate. Cao Ren wanted to lead people into the city, but arrows rained down on the city.

Zhou Yu went down the city wall, met Sun Ce who had just entered the city, and said, "Bo Fu came just in time!"

Then he smiled and said: "Bo Fu also knows how to attack the flanks. In the past, Bo Fu must have attacked the formation head-on."

Sun Ce said angrily, "Don't mention it, I learned from the enemy army in Guangling, and I suffered a big loss at that time."

Seeing Sun Ce's expression, Zhou Yu knew that Guangling City had not been captured. He caught a glimpse of Qiao Rui behind Sun Ce. How did Qiao Rui come back?
Where is Mrs. Wu?

It was getting late at this time, and the two sides called for gold to withdraw their troops. Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce back to the city, leaving only Qiao Rui behind, and let the generals disperse.

After Zhou Yu heard Sun Ce's talk about Guangling City, he felt indescribable. Even Sun Ce's surprise attack could be firmly prevented. Is the fierce tiger so difficult to deal with?

He opened the mouth and said: "Several times have failed, it can be seen that God's will is so, Bo Fu don't need to worry too much."

Sun Ce slammed the table hard, "But my mother's whereabouts are unknown, how can I rest assured!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qiao Rui also guessed that Mrs. Wu was probably lost in Guangling City at this time, and couldn't help asking: "Then what should we do from now on?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and said, "Now that Guangling is occupied by fierce tigers, it's hard to do anything."

"He can't stay here forever, can he?"

"Now there is no good way. The safest thing is to send a spy to lurk in Guangling City and find out about Mrs. Tai."

"As long as the fierce tiger leads the troops to leave, the defense of Guangling City will definitely be empty. When the time comes, find Madam and take the opportunity to bring her out."

After hearing this, Sun Ce felt relieved, and said, "Gong Jin's method is indeed good, and now this is the only way to go."

Qiao Rui said: "What if the lady has already fallen into the other party's hands?"

Sun Ce's expression changed when he heard this, and Zhou Yu saw him, and hurriedly said, "This is unlikely, otherwise the other party would have threatened Bo Fu long ago, why bother beating him to death?"

After hearing this, Qiao Rui felt the same way, and said, "Gong Jin's words are reasonable."

Zhou Yu was worried, because he knew that such a possibility still exists!
But right now, he can only comfort Sun Ce in this way, because the most urgent task right now is how to keep Xiapi!
In the days that followed, the two sides continued to attack, trying their best to fill people in. The situation had a winner and loser, and no one could get out.

When Tancheng was in a mess, Guangling to the east was relatively quiet and peaceful.

Yuan Xi finally waited for Liu Bei's letter requesting to send troops together.
