The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174 Two people to be careful of

Cao Cao's staff and generals have long since despaired of continuing to fight Yuan Xu.

The soldiers got a debate, and Yuan Xu sent a large number of shirts and armors from Hebei.

The Yuan family in Hebei has long started growing cotton.

Cotton is much more comfortable to wear than linen.

The soldiers who put on the Yuan family's armor also accepted the ending of defecting to the Yuan family.

Since capturing Shouchun, Yuan Xu often went out to inspect.

Every time he goes out, he takes Cao Cao with him.

Not far from Shouchun City, there is a mountain that is not very high.

This place is called Feiling, and adjacent to it is Feishui.

Feiling, once in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was chosen by Huainan King Liu An as a place for alchemy.

Eight warlocks made alchemy here, so it was named Bagong Mountain.

Riding on the unicorn, Yuan Xu led Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and others on the mountain path of Feiling.

"The scenery here is good, no wonder my uncle was so inflated that he wanted to become emperor." Climbing to the top of Feiling Mountain, Yuan Xu looked into the distance.

Of course he was talking about Yuan Shu who had been defeated by Cao Cao.

"Back then I led troops to defeat Yuan Shu, and now my son defeated him again." Cao Cao replied, "It can be seen that the world should fall into the hands of the Yuan family."

"No." Yuan Xu denied his statement: "The world should fall into my hands."

He looked at Yuan Tan: "Brother, do you think so?"

"What Xianxin said is true." Yuan Tan replied, "No one in the Yuan family, except Xianxin, has the ability to turn the tide."

"Brother said that, but I am a little ashamed." Yuan Xu said so, but there was no shame on his face.

"I heard that the son ordered Xun Wenruo to distribute rice seeds to the people?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's just the beginning." Yuan Xu replied: "Huainan is a good place. How do you say it? It's better to travel thousands of miles than the banks of the Huaihe River. Whatever is planted here, as long as there is no war, as long as there are no disasters, Huainan is a good place." There will never be a famine."

"That depends on how to govern." Cao Cao replied: "When Yuan Gonggong was here, Huainan's people's livelihood was withered, and there were starving bones on the road."

"People who only think about how to have fun get Huainan, how can it be better here?" Yuan Xu sneered: "You don't have much ability, but you dare to call yourself emperor. There are many generals and staff, and in the end, you can only leave a guest to die in another country. My uncle is also quite capable."

Cao Cao didn't say anything more.

From Yuan Xu's words, Cao Cao could tell that he didn't want to see Yuan Shu very much.

In fact, Yuan Xu didn't want to see Yuan Shu, and it made sense. Yuan Shu had fought with the Yuan family of Hebei several times.

And he would always slander Yuan Shao in front of the world, saying that Yuan Shao was a concubine.

As Yuan Shao's son, it would be really strange if Yuan Xu had a good impression of Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao didn't know that the reason why Yuan Xu looked down on Yuan Shu was not because he stood on the standpoint of the Yuan family in Hebei, but because he, as a person with future knowledge, made a relatively objective statement from his own point of view. judgment.

"Meng De thinks I have the world, how far is it?" Yuan Xu asked suddenly.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said to him, "I think you still have a long way to go."

"Why?" Yuan Xu asked: "Could it be that I can't calm down the world as soon as I drive the vicious corpse?"

"Don't say whether Nanhua will become an enemy of the young master again." Cao Cao replied: "Just talk about the heroes of the world, there are several of them, it is not easy to deal with."

"Are you talking about Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and others?" Yuan Xu said intentionally, "Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Easy to deal with?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Young Master, what you should pay attention to is actually Liu Xuande and Sun Zhongmou."

The three-point situation was broken by Yuan Xu before it was formed.

Cao Cao said at this time that Liu Bei and Sun Quan should pay special attention.

Yuan Xu immediately looked at him with admiration.

No wonder in history, Cao Wei is the strongest after three points.

With a lord like Cao Cao, it's hard not to be strong.

"Liu Xuande is just a disciple of Jingzhou." Yuan Xu pretended not to understand: "Sun Zhongmou, Huang Kou'er, got Jiangdong from his brother. What kind of abilities do they have that Meng De values ​​so much?"

"Liu Xuande is feminine and has always had a good reputation." Cao Cao replied, "He also voted for me back then..."

"I've heard of it before." Yuan Xu interrupted him: "Later Liu Xuande betrayed Meng De and deceived many soldiers away."

Cao Cao replied with some annoyance: "I should have killed him at that time, and I wouldn't let him go to Jingzhou and become a disaster for the son in the future."

"You have been broken by me, what can he do?" Yuan Xu said with a smile: "However, the few generals under his command are very powerful."

"Liu Xuande's subordinates, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are enemies of ten thousand people." Cao Cao reminded: "When we meet on the battlefield in the future, you should be more careful."

"Don't worry, I will." Yuan Xu agreed without hesitation.

He then asked Cao Cao: "Why do you still have to be careful about Jiangdong Sun Quan?"

"Jiangdong Sun Quan was born with a different face." Cao Cao replied: "Although he took over Jiangdong from Sun Ce, he has managed Jiangdong in an orderly manner in the past few years. Although he is not as rich as Hebei, at least it is much better than going to other places. And the son is going Jiangdong and the Yangtze River are blocked by natural dangers, and it is not easy to defeat Sun Quan."

Yuan Xu nodded.

Judging from Cao Cao's willingness to tell him these things, this former hero has indeed given up fighting.

"The world has been in chaos for so many years, and it's time to stop." After a long time, Yuan Xu said: "When the Huainan affairs are completed, I will go to Liaodong in person."

"My lord intends to take over Liaodong?" Cao Cao asked.

"Liaodong has lived at ease for too long, and they can't just let them go on like this forever." Yuan Xu replied: "Gongsun Kang sent Cheng Zhongde to Yecheng with the intention of currying favor. Liaodong is in your hands, so do you have to wait until later?"

Cao Cao deeply agrees with Yuan Xu's statement.

He asked Yuan Xu: "Young master is going to Liaodong, can I follow?"

"From now on, wherever I go, you will follow me." Yuan Xu replied with a smile: "With you by my side, I can also talk to multiple people."

"There are many capable people around you, so it's possible that there isn't even one who can talk?" Cao Cao asked him pretendingly.

Yuan Xu curled his lips: "Although there are quite a few people speaking, none of them has been rated as a hero in troubled times."

When he said this, Cao Cao was immediately embarrassed.

Cao Cao replied: "Sir, what you said like that really terrifies me."

"I've been walking outside for quite a while, so it's time to go back." Yuan Xu greeted everyone: "Let's go back to Shouchun."

Cao Cao, Yuan Tan and others agreed, followed him down Feiling and returned to Shouchun.

After capturing Huainan, Yuan Xu made some small-scale changes, but did not go to war.

A few days later, Zhen Yao came from Hebei.
