The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 228 A Journey Beyond the Great Wall
"Don't take a sheep?" Yuan Shang couldn't help being happy when he heard the words: "The sun is out in the west today? Isn't this your character? What? Do you think you asked too much before and changed your nature?"

Zhao Yun's complexion did not lose its color because of Yuan Shang's teasing. On the contrary, his face became infinitely deep, and a faint look of worry flooded his cheeks unconsciously.

Looking at Yuan Shang with a bit of sadness, Zhao Yun said softly: "What? Have you forgotten the three things you and I made back then?"

Yuan Shang's face remained unchanged, but there was a sudden screen in his heart.

How could Yuan Shang forget the conditions before Zhao Yun joined his side?Precisely because he agreed to his three conditions at the beginning!And it is precisely because of these three conditions that Yuan Shang conspired to change Zhao Yun from a dignified Changshan hero to the current butcher with an open mouth for sheep and a closed mouth for cattle.

If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there will be a cause.

In the battle of Yijing that year, Gongsun Xu escaped by chance and ran to the land of Yanmen to live in seclusion. At the same time, Shang wrote the word "Yuan" on his robe with blood.

At that time, Yuan Shang pointed the murderer's second hand at the aliens in northern Xinjiang for Zhao Yun. This incident has left a deep imprint in Zhao Yun's heart. Until today, he finally had the opportunity to go and find out. Just imagine how Zhao Yun would not go. ?

"Okay! Count you in!" Yuan Shang knew Zhao Yun's anxious state of mind at the moment. Although it would be like finding a needle in a haystack to find out who killed Gongsun Xu on this trip, Yuan Shang felt that it would be okay to try, after all, it was better than doing nothing. Stay strong.

But although Zhao Yun is a general with both wisdom and courage, he is not a resourceful man. If he wants to rely on him to find out some clues together with him, it may be unrealistic. When the critical moment comes, he must be resourceful. Capable people can discuss with themselves.

Although Jushou is the most suitable candidate, after all, he is now the chief assistant of Yecheng's political strategy.When he was no longer in Yecheng, many things still had to be decided by him, so it was really unrealistic for him to go with him.

Ever since, Yuan Shang turned his head to the group of advisers behind Jushou.

"I have a personal general. This trip to explore northern Xinjiang, I don't know which gentleman is willing to be my think tank and go with me. At critical moments, I also have a counselor to take care of me."

As soon as Yuan Shang's voice fell, he saw Yuan's civil servant group, headed by Pang Ji, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Deng Chang and others, all raised their heads up one after another, as if they hadn't heard Yuan Shang's words, and looked around leisurely. Looking at the roof ridge on the hanging beam, it seems that there are some precious carved beam murals on it, which deeply attracted their attention.

Seeing this, Yuan Shang couldn't help itching his teeth.

But it’s no wonder that the northern border is full of sand and dust, lacking in food and clothing, and the conditions are harsh. But anyone who is used to living in a prosperous place like Yecheng would not want to go to that place to suffer the crime of living. You Yuan Shangxian’s ass hurts If you want to run crazy, we don't stop it, but don't pull us back.

Yuan Shang looked around and said with a long sigh, "Is there no one willing to go?"

Everyone was still staring intently at the cantilevered roof, with serious expressions on their faces, appearing to be very serious.

Yuan Shang gently rubbed his chin, lamented and said: "At the critical moment, no one is willing to share my worries? This is too chilling!"

The expressions of the counselors remained unchanged, they were still looking up at the sky.

"If anyone is willing to go, just take a step forward. Yuan will definitely reward him! And he will be the first to treat each other in the future, and the future is boundless——!" Yuan Shang started to use some toothless tricks to lure the crowd. strategist.

But since he can be called a counselor, how can he be easily deceived by Yuan Shang?The IQ is definitely enough for each one, and it is definitely not something that can be fooled away with a few words.

Hey, that's Mobei, if you get there and become unaccustomed to the environment, become sick from overwork, and die in a foreign country, there's no use for you to reuse it!
This kind of hard work, whoever wants to do it!

Yuan Shang was smiling, but his hands tucked into his sleeves had unknowingly turned into fists. He coldly glanced around at the counselors who were pretending to be stupid, and suddenly showed a surprised expression. Pointing to the gate of the main hall, he scolded in a slightly angry tone: "Presumptuous! The woman at the gate actually came here to change clothes? Blind your dog's eyes, come and get me the locked firewood house!"

"Where is that?!" Among the counselors' team, they saw Sima Yi rushing out, blinking his eyes and looking behind hard, looking east and west, but found that there was a silence outside the entire hall, and looked up. Not to mention the woman changing clothes, there is not even a dog shadow.

Sima Yi's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Good! Good! Good!" Yuan Shang patted the desk table, called three good words one after another, stood up with a smile, looked at Sima Yi with appreciation and said: "Zhongda is indeed a man of great wisdom and courage. Stand up to share my worries! Yuan is very relieved, since you are so active, how can Yuan refute your enthusiasm? Well, it’s settled! The person who will accompany me to Beijiang is you! Don't fight either!"

Sima Yi stared blankly at Yuan Shang for a long time, then suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, he sobbed and bowed to Yuan Shang, and said with emotion: "My lord's deceitful methods... are so versatile and amazing. It's impossible to guard against, my subordinates... admire it!"

Yuan Shang frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "There is so much nonsense, are you going or not?"

"Subordinates respectfully obey the orders of the lord!"

***********************************
A few days later, Yuan Shang led the three newly married wives, Zhao Yun, Sima Yi and the cavalry from the Three Thousand Wuji Barracks slowly marched towards Shuofang County.

The land of Shuofang, once set up in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has a history of more than 270 years. It belongs to Bingzhou. Shuofang County is separated from Wuyuan County. They are both built in Hetao. In the north of Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, there are ten counties under its jurisdiction. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it used Linrong City as its governing place, but Yuan Shang and others' destination was here.

The northern and western parts of Shuofang are the tribes of different ethnic groups outside the Great Wall, including the Eastern Xianbei and Liaoxi Xianbei, Bingzhou Xianbei, Wuhuan Three Kings, and the remnants of the Southern Huns. All ethnic groups are affiliated to the Han Dynasty. It is only because of the separatism of the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty and the split of the Eastern Han Dynasty that it gradually moved towards the road of self-reliance and development.

Yuan Shang and his entourage stopped and rested as they walked. Although the pedestrians all brought horses, they did not walk very fast. It should have been a journey of more than ten days, but it took nearly a month to stop and stop.

But it's no wonder, the three ladies came out for their honeymoon, not to go to the market, so how can they stop and watch if there are any good-looking and interesting things along the way?

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

Using these two lines of poems to describe the surrounding environment of Shuofang is perfect. When a group of people came to Linrong City, it was a piece of land. Reflecting in the sky and the earth, everything in the world seems to be soaked in blood.

The boundless grassland and Gobi, guarding its endless desolation in the twilight, the blood shadow gradually merged into the darkness, and the desolation turned into a deeper silence.

The wind howled and blew from afar, rolling up the fine yellow sand, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, no one knew where it would go in the next moment, but there were lawn grasses that undulated and flowed in the direction it was going. Sand dunes, squandering the scorching breath left by the sun during the day.In the distance, a round of pale moon rises quietly from behind the cold mountain, and the hazy moonlight caresses the world like gauze and fog.

After entering the adobe city, you can see not only the Han people in thin clothes, but also some strange-looking aliens with velvet skins and strange hairstyles. The objects in the store are not the same as the ones we usually observe. Some strange foreign goods have never been seen in the Central Plains.

"It's beautiful here!"

Walking on the streets of Linrong City, Xia Houjuan clapped his hands, and said with a happy and longing face: "I really want to live here forever, the four of us will be happy together, no more troubles, no more worries. "

Lu Lingqi also nodded, and said: "Here every day, herding horses and sheep, enjoying the blue sky and green grassland."

Zhen Mi also smiled and said, "It would be nice to let go of those unwarranted disputes and be free from worries."

Yuan Shang followed the three daughters, and said slowly with disdain on his face: "Every day the horses are grazed, and when you get up in the morning, you have to clean up the manure for the animals. Every day, you walk in the blue sky grassland, the sun is so hot that you even want to block the sun. There is no shade in the trees. In winter, the north wind whizzes and you wear a fur coat and you want to die. In summer, the sun is scorching and you want to take off two more clothes. Mosquitoes everywhere can bite your ass. You three, call this happiness?"

The three women turned their heads together, and stared at Yuan Shang with gritted teeth. At such a tender moment, this bastard would spoil the scenery with his mouth. What is his head and thoughts made of?Why is it different from normal people?

Too lazy to pay attention to this guy, the three girls immediately turned their heads to the shops on the street, and carefully selected some rare and exotic items. When they were young, they saw Xia Houjuan pick up a chain with a Xianbei pan-head outside the Great Wall in surprise. With a fork, he hopped his feet and smiled: "Hey, look, how beautiful this headband is! It's not the same as our hairpins in the Central Plains. Sister Zhen, Sister Lu, let's buy one for each of us, how about it?"

The Xianbei girl who sold the head ring laughed, nodded her head and said cheerfully: "This lady is really good-looking, and she is also a good fortune. This head ring was shipped from Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and there are only three left now." Only, and each one is only sold for [-] yuan, if you don’t buy it again, I’m afraid someone will pick it up.”

Xia Houjuan chuckled, picked up the three headbands, then turned to Yuan Shang and shouted, "Pay!"

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly, weighed the money out of his sleeve, raised his sleeve, and handed it carefully to the woman selling the headband.

At this moment, a white-clothed Confucian student with a cloth bag on his back stumbled into the crowd and shouted at the woman selling head rings.

"Wait a minute for those who sell the head ring! Such a wonderful thing, let me leave one!"
