Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 560
"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Yuan Yao nodded, ordering all his relatives to follow along as they please.

After returning to the backyard, Lu Lingqi welcomed Yuan Yao into the house with a smile, and ordered the maidservant to prepare herbal tea, and then she leaned next to Yuan Yao with a sweet smile on her face.

"Where is Hao'er?" Yuan Yao asked seeing that his son Yuan Hao was not in the house.

"My aunt just took her to play, she said she wanted my concubine to spend more time with my husband." Lu Lingqi raised her head and said softly.

"Lingqi, there is one thing I want to tell you!" Yuan Yao hesitated for a while, wanting to talk about Ding Xiang, but he was a little bit reluctant to spoil the warm atmosphere now. He enjoyed Lu Lingqi's gentle support. Feelings in oneself.

This feeling has not been felt for several months.

The world of these two people reminded Yuan Yao of the days when Lu Lingqi was together.

What Yuan Yao will never forget is the first time he saw Lu Lingqi, that smiling face with willow brows and almond eyes, bright pupils and white teeth, and a hint of mischief.

And later on Lu Lingqi suddenly attacked him like an assassin.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao stretched out his arms and embraced Lu Lingqi in his arms, and the two looked at each other.

"Husband, what's the matter?" Lu Lingqi showed a shy smile.

"Lingqi, I met another woman in the New Baekje Kingdom..." Yuan Yao said, but only halfway through, Lu Lingqi stretched out a finger and pressed it to her lips.

"My name is Dingxiang, right? I heard that she is also a Han Chinese, and now she has become the princess of the new Baekje Kingdom, and she is pregnant with your flesh and blood!..." Lu Lingqi blinked her eyes, showing a mysterious smile, and went on Said next.

"Ah! That's right! Lingqi, how did you know?..." Yuan Yao was shocked. After he came back, he hadn't told anyone about it, and it was even more impossible for the generals in the army to tell about it. outgoing.

"Heck...!!" Lu Lingqi couldn't help laughing softly, and finally kissed Yuan Yao's face amidst Yuan Yao's surprise.

"Husband, don't be surprised, this is what my aunt told my concubine! But husband, you don't need to care, don't you understand what Lingqi is thinking?" Lu Lingqi said.

……

That night, Yuan Yao stayed in Lu Lingqi's room, a night of tenderness, endless love words and lovesickness.

And it was Yuan Yao's second wife, Gong Yinglian, who created all the conditions for them. Because Gong Yinglian was also breastfeeding, she happened to be able to take care of Yuan Hao, who was less than a week old. In order not to disturb the two of them, she took the initiative to pick up Yuan Hao early in the morning. .

The next day, as if an appointment had been made, the rest of the wives and concubines took turns accompanying each other in accordance with the order.

After Gong Yinglian, the most virtuous, is Sun Shangxiang, the most eccentric, followed by talented girl Cao Yanran, kind-hearted and stubborn Xinger, Wu Ruiyao, who is strange to everyone, Zhuer, who is easy to be sentimental, and so on.

……

Two months later, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Chen Dao sent a military report that Li Jue and Guo Si had been pacified. Among them, Cao Cao made great contributions. Please Yuan Yao decide.

Guo Jiajin said: "Cao Cao is a hero. Don't let him gain power. If he gains power, he will definitely rebel! Now that there is Yuan Shao in the north and Liu Biao in the south, it is better to take advantage of Cao Cao's presence in Xiliang and secretly order Xiliang's armies to kill Cao Cao. future trouble!"

Yuan Yao used his tricks, but the order had not yet been issued, and another news came from Hebei.

Yuan Shao from Hebei has never been better since Yuan Yao vomited blood and became seriously ill last time, and finally died of illness in Bohai. Before his death, Yuan Shao ordered his eldest son Yuan Tan to lead the Jizhou Shepherd, his second son Yuan Xi to lead the Youzhou Shepherd, and his third son Yuan Shang Lead and state animal husbandry.

After receiving the news, Yuan Yao was overjoyed.

Guo Jia said again: "This is a god-sent opportunity, please suspend the plan to destroy Cao Cao, my lord!"

Yuan Yao was puzzled and said: "Feng Xiao, you just said that you want to destroy Cao Cao, why do you want to add officials to Cao Cao now?"

Guo Jiadao: "At this time, at that time, because Yuan Shao was our biggest enemy, we had to destroy Cao Cao first to stabilize the rear, and then look for opportunities to eliminate Yuan Shao, but the situation is different now!"

"When my subordinates were in Yuan Shao's camp, they knew that Yuan Shao's generals were at odds. There were two main factions. When Yuan Shao was there, nothing happened. Now that Yuan Shao died, his sons were entrusted with a state each. It won't take long. Three sons There will be infighting for power!"

"If the lord kills the meritorious Cao Cao now, Yuan Shao's three sons will know that the lord will kill them like he killed Cao Cao in the future, and they will unite under fear. Although we are not afraid, but when two armies fight, we must There are casualties, and the casualties are all Han Chinese, and the more Han people die, the more unfavorable it will be for the unification of the world in the future!"

"If the lord ignores Cao Cao's previous enmity and rewards Cao Cao according to his merits, Yuan Shao's three sons will compete to befriend the lord in order to get a good ending!"

"After the death of Gongsun Zan, the former general position was vacated, and the right general position was vacated after Yuan Shao's death. These two general positions can be used as rewards. The Lord ordered Yuan Shao's three sons to attack Xianbei and the Huns. General, whoever destroys the Huns will be the right general!"

"Because of the lessons learned by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's sons must be convinced that the three of them will fight bravely for the title of general. In the end, no matter whether Xianbei and the Huns are destroyed, or Yuan Shao's third son is killed, it will be of great benefit to the lord. One harm!"

"Great plan!! Great plan!! Haha, Feng Xiao, your plan is great!! However, Cao Cao was not destroyed, but was promoted instead, isn't that a bit bad?" Yuan Yao said.

"My lord, since Cao Cao has been entrusted with the title, he has recognized the imperial court. My lord can order Cao Cao to conquer Yizhou in the south and continue his strategy of driving tigers and wolves away. If Cao Cao obeys the order, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If Cao Cao resists the order, then my lord It is perfectly reasonable to label Cao Cao as a traitor and send a large army to destroy him! According to Cao Cao's ambition, he must be tempted. If he wants to swallow Yizhou and see the world's situation, he will be ordered to attack Yizhou!" Guo Jia said.

"Hehe! Then am I okay?" Yuan Yao laughed.

"If Yuan Shao's three sons go north to attack foreign tribes, and Cao Cao goes south to attack Yizhou, isn't this just asking the lord to conquer Liu Biao who is not a subject?" Guo Jia also laughed.

According to Yuan Yao's plan, Cao Cao was granted the title of Shepherd of Yizhou according to his merits, and he ordered to attack Yizhou in the south, and sent envoys to Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang respectively, ordering them to attack Xianbei first and then attack the Xiongnu.

At the same time, it was ordered that Liu Qubei, who had already controlled the Southern Huns, and the generals of Pingzhou, each led elite soldiers to the borders of the three states, and the tigers watched Ji, You, and the three states. If the three sons of Yuan Shao obeyed their orders, they would assist them in destroying the alien race. , if disobedient, then attack the three states.

Jizhou

Yuan Tan was the first to see the envoy sent by Yuan Yao. After the conversation, he was overjoyed and ordered the generals to say: "We were the first to get the news. If we send troops now, we will soon be able to capture Xianbei. This former general is mine." Already! You can also be rewarded for your achievements!"

After discussing with the generals, they all thought that disobeying Yuan Yao's order was an excuse for Yuan Yao to go to war. It would be better to destroy Xianbei to the north. You can also be king in the north!
Therefore, Yuan Tan ordered [-] elite cavalry to attack northward overnight, trying to destroy Xianbei.
