Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 241 Mother Xu Arrives, Ultimatum (Second Change)

"Old lady, come, come"

At noon of the next day, Yuan Xi helped an old woman dressed in plain clothes, even tattered, into an extraordinarily luxurious mansion with a smile on her face.

The old woman is really Mother Xu who Yuan Xi personally took over just now. Mother Xu's skin is a bit rough. Although she is not yet 50 years old, she has indeed added a lot of gray hair, but her temperament is very calm, especially the pair of eyes that seem to be cloudy. Among them, there is even a trace of perseverance.

"Greetings to the old lady" The housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time immediately brought his servants, maids, and dozens of people to pay respectful respect.

"This?" Mother Xu suddenly asked in surprise.

"Auntie, at this time the mansion arranged for Yuan Zhi by the Marquis, because Yuan Zhi is leading the army to conquer Liaodong, so I haven't come to see it yet." Pang Tong walked over immediately and explained with a smile that he and Xu Shu are not only friends, but also The righteousness of brothers, so the title is a lot closer.

Mother Xu nodded, and hurriedly saluted Yuan Xi respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Hou!"

"Please hurry up, old lady. Yuan Zhi is an amazing talent. It is a blessing from heaven that Xi can get it. Now that he has pacified Liaodong, he will return to meet the old lady soon." Yuan Xi quickly helped him up and said .

"Okay, okay" Mother Xu's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

"Come on, old lady, Xi will show you around this mansion," Yuan Xi smiled.

"No, no, Lord Hou, you are busy with official duties, so you can't delay because of your old age. It's good to let nephew Shi Yuanxian accompany you." Mother Xu hurriedly said humbly. Not only would it be difficult for him to accompany him, but it would also make it difficult for his son.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, and said: "That's fine, then let Shi Yuan accompany you, the old lady can ask for anything, and Xi Hui will try her best to meet it."

"Thank you, Lord Hou," Mother Xu saluted again.

After Yuan Xi motioned to Pang Tong, he left with his people.

Just when Pang Tong was about to go forward to help Xu's mother, an ordinary-looking woman in a cloth shirt suddenly took a step ahead. After a surprise, he remembered that this woman came with Xu's mother.

At this time, Mother Xu smiled and said gently: "Shiyuan, when I saw you here, I felt completely relieved. Both you and my son belong to Lord Hou, which shows how extraordinary and benevolent Lord Hou is."

Pang Tong nodded immediately, and said in admiration: "Master Hou's love for his subjects is unrivaled. Yuanzhi regained Liaodong this time and made great achievements. Lord Hou will definitely reward you heavily, and even plans to send Mrs. Han's sister , to Yuan Zhi, this woman not only has an extraordinary family background, but also has a gentle personality and a soft appearance. She was carefully selected by Lord Hou."

"What!" Hearing this, the woman who was supporting Mother Xu's face suddenly turned pale.

Xu's mother was also surprised, and immediately looked at the woman lovingly and said: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Aunt, what?" Pang Tong became curious.

"Shi Yuan, is this matter Yuan Zhi's idea, or Hou Ye's decision?" Mother Xu immediately asked seriously.

"Of course it's Master Hou. Yuan Zhi hasn't married a wife yet, and Lord Hou has been caring for him all the time. He plans to arrange it when Yuan Zhi comes back." Pang Tong took a special look at the woman with tears in her eyes.

"Then please tell Master Hou that my son already has a fiancée, the Han family is a big family, and my Xu family can't climb up to it," Xu's mother said softly.

"Old madam, is this the case?" Pang Tong is so smart, he naturally understood.

"That's right, he is Yuan Zhi's fiancée Yan'er. Yuan Zhi is not at home these years, and Yan'er is taking care of me. She has suffered a lot for me. If Yuan Zhi abandons Yan'er because of his prosperity, his old age will be in jeopardy." I won't recognize his son any more," Mother Xu said firmly.

Pang Tong was startled, and quickly said: "Old Madam, don't worry, Yuan Zhi doesn't know about this matter, it's just the kindness of Lord Hou, please tell him when you go back."

"Okay, okay" Mother Xu nodded, and comforted the grateful Yan'er in a low voice.

Pang Tong suddenly burst into a wry smile, Yuan Zhi's guy is hiding very deeply!He even has a fiancee.

. . . . . .

After two days hastily passed, at the city of Liaosui, there were rumbling sounds from time to time, and twenty skyrocketing cannons bombarded the city wall in turn.

The entire city of Liaosui was surrounded by the army. In the camp of the Chinese army, Yan Rou looked at the Liaodong army fleeing around the top of the city. Xu Shu said in surprise, "Our army repelled Gongsun Kang's four breakouts, wiped out the The enemy is [-], and the strength of Liao Sui's troops is estimated to be less than [-]. In addition to the fall of Liaodong, they still haven't surrendered. Some people underestimate this Gongsun Kang."

"Deputy commander, don't worry. In two days, the Liaodong army, which is starved of food and grass, will probably be so hungry that they can't stand still. It's all because of Gongsun Kang, and it won't help," Xu Shu said with a smile.

Yan Rou nodded, and ordered: "Continue to bombard a certain one."

"promise!"

"Deputy Marshal, Lord Hou's letter has arrived," Gan Ning said excitedly when he suddenly came over with his horse.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, go back and have a look," Yan Ju said.

"promise!"

The two returned to the barracks not far behind with a group of people. When they arrived in the tent, a messenger soldier immediately said, "Meet the deputy commander."

"You don't need to be too polite, where's the letter from Lord Hou?" Yan Rou asked.

"Here" the messenger immediately took out a bamboo slip
After Yan Rou took it, she immediately went to the main seat to look through it. After reading it, her face was a little surprised, but she was more moved.

"Deputy Marshal, what's the matter?" Xu Shu asked curiously.

"Look at it?" Yan Rou handed over the letter.

After Xu Shu finished reading, he immediately congratulated with a smile on his face, "Deputy Commander, this is a great event!"

"Military Master, what is the happy event?" Gan Ning asked curiously.

"Master Hou is going to marry the deputy commander's daughter to Shi Yuan," Xu Shu said.

"Really" Gan Ning was surprised.

"Yuan Zhi, this Pang Zhizhong, or Director Pang, also knows a little bit. He is known as one of the three giants in the governor's mansion. He is on the same level as Liang Junjun and Han, but he is not very clear about him. It is said that you and him He's a good friend, so I don't know what kind of person he is? It's just this daughter." Yan Rou asked with concern.

"You don't need to worry about the deputy commander. This is a perfect match for Wushuang. He is a scholar. His talent is ten times better than that of ordinary people, and his virtue is ten times better than that of ordinary people. He also controls the army's yamen and commands the thoughts of the entire army. It can be said that no matter what position the Marquis is in , even if Shi Yuan is in the center, he is an extremely human minister," Xu Shu said affirmatively.

"So powerful?" Yan Rou was surprised for a while. He had already seen Xu Shuzhi's talent completely, and he was completely a national scholar, but this Pang Zhizhong was even better than him. It is indeed a rare match for his daughter to marry such a person, but if you look carefully, Thinking, I have some worries in my heart. He is already the highest military general in Youzhou, and now his daughter is married to an important minister of the governor's mansion. This power is too great, so big that he has some palpitations!

Xu Shu smiled slightly, and instantly saw Yan Rou's worry, and said: "The deputy commander doesn't need to worry, the reason why Lord Hou arranged this marriage is because the deputy commander is already the highest military position in Youzhou, and there is nothing to add, just a seal Your son was not enough, so he brought Shi Yuan over to indirectly increase the prestige of the deputy commander. Second, the Liaoxi Army is currently the strongest army in Youzhou. Although the deputy commander is loyal, but the following are inevitable. People have different ideas, and Shi Yuan just happened to be in charge of the military office. With this level of son-in-law relationship, the military office can be expanded better, so it is a combination of love and reason."

Yan Rou's expression froze, and she said: "Yuan Zhi's words are very true, and what Rou sees is not only that, after going back this time, Rou will also suggest to Lord Hou to disperse the Liaoxi Army, adding the original strength to the troops that were surrendered twice. It’s almost [-], which is too much.”

"Deputy Commander is wise," Xu Shu immediately admired, and Gan Ning beside him also nodded in admiration.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, you should have a few more drinks then." Yan Rou laughed loudly.

"Definitely, definitely," Xu Shu nodded hastily.

At this time, Gan Ning looked at the messenger who hadn't left yet, and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Mr. Xu, Lord Hou asked the little one to tell you personally that your mother has been taken to Ji County safely," the messenger said.

"What!" Xu Shu trembled all over, and hurriedly said, "How is my mother?"

"Military commander, don't worry, Lord Hou has already made the best arrangements, just waiting for your army to return triumphantly, and mother and son meet again," the messenger said.

Xu Shu's face suddenly became extremely ashamed, and he bowed his head deeply and said, "I'm sorry, mother."

"Yuanzhi, don't do this. Your filial piety is obvious to all. Now that your mother has come to Youzhou, she will definitely enjoy the best treatment, and she won't be starving like before." Gan Ning obviously knew something.

Yan Rou, who saw Xu Shu's expression for the first time, stared at him for a moment, and said loudly: "Xingba, send an ultimatum immediately. If Liao Sui doesn't open the city and surrender tomorrow, our army will formally launch a general attack and the city will be destroyed." day, not one left"

"No..." Gan Ning understood immediately.

"Deputy Commander" Xu Shu's eyes suddenly showed a trace of gratitude.

"Yuan Zhi, without you, Rou would not be able to defeat Gongsun Du, let alone recover the entire Liaodong, now it's time for Rou to do something for you." Yan Rou said gently, the sooner the Liaodong is recovered, the sooner Xu Shu can go back.

"Thank you, Deputy Marshal" Xu Shu saluted gratefully.
