Shortly after Cao Shu left Shouchun, Yecheng, Hebei.

Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu sat in the room.

Shen Pei sat facing them.

"Cao Zirong went to Jingzhou first, and now he went to Xudu again. What exactly did he do?" Mrs. Liu frowned slightly.

Since Yuan Shang claimed to inherit Hebei, there has been constant friction with Yuan Tan, and both sides have even fought.

Hebei is now a mess of sand and cannot afford the Cao family's army's attack.

A few days ago, when Cao Shu was in Jingzhou, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Cao Shu is not in Shouchun, it is possible that he will send troops to Hebei. Moreover, he is in Jingzhou.

I thought Cao Shu would stay in Jingzhou for a long time, and Cao Cao's energy would also be transferred to Jingzhou.

However, things went against my wishes, Cao Shu did not stay in Jingzhou, but soon returned to Shouchun.

When they received this news, Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu were both very worried, fearing that the Cao army would come to Hebei again.

"Mr. Shen Pei." Mrs. Liu hesitated and asked Shen Pei, "Do you think the Cao family army will come to Hebei again?"

"With the Yuan family in Hebei, Cao Cao cannot go south with confidence." Shen Pei said: "In my opinion, he will definitely come. And it won't take long before Cao's army will enter Hebei again."

His face became a little unfavorable, and Mrs. Liu asked, "Shen Gong believes that how can we deal with the Cao family?"

Looking at Yuan Shao, Shen Pei said, "The general must make an idea."

Since Yuan Shang took over Hebei, Shen Pei and others have also changed their titles to him.

Frowning, Yuan Shang's face was also very bad.

He said to Shen Pei: "The elder brother and I are fighting for Hebei, and they are constantly attacking each other. The Yuan family is too exhausted. Once the Cao army comes, they will not be able to resist the enemy at all."

"What the general said is." Shen Pei said: "I have written a letter to the eldest son. If he could still read it to the same lineage as Hebei, he would not be an enemy of the general. If Cao's army comes, it would be impossible to stop it with the general's military strength. If the general wants to stop Cao's army, the best way is to seek foreign aid."

"Seeking foreign aid?" Yuan Shang asked: "Who else is willing to give us foreign aid now in the trend?"

Shen Pei said: "The general can send an envoy to Xiliang, ask Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to defend the enemy with the prince. In addition, he can ask the Xiongnu for help and promise the Xiongnu benefits. The Xiongnu people have been coveting the Central Plains in recent years. As long as they give them benefits, they will definitely send troops."

"Ma Teng, Han Sui won't say that they are General Xiliang, so it's nothing to ask them to enter the pass." Yuan Shang frowned and said, "But the Huns..."

"Although the young master promised the Huns, he may not necessarily need to give them benefits in the future." Shen Pei said: "If the Cao family is not captured, the young master will have an excuse not to give them. Once the Cao family is captured, even if the Huns come to ask for it, the young master can turn against them. In any case, in the end, the Huns will not be able to draw even a piece of territory from the young master."

Looking at Shen Pei in confusion, Yuan Shang was still a little hesitant.

He frowned and after a while he asked Shen Pei, "Shen Gong, is this... really appropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Shen Pei said: "We didn't really hand over the territory to the Huns, but just made an empty promise. With the Huns' army, we will first defeat the Cao family. If the eldest son still makes things difficult for the general and then defeat the eldest son, will Hebei be stable from now on?"

After a moment of silence again, Yuan Shang finally made a decision.

He said to Shen Pei: "Leave this matter to Shen Gong, send people to Xiliang and the Xiongnu. As long as they agree, I will give you all the benefits I can."

"Don't worry, General, I will do it!" Shen Pei stood up and responded.

After Shen Pei left, Mrs. Liu said to Yuan Shang: "Xianfu, your father is not here, and now you rely on you to support the Yuan family, but thank you for your hard work..."

"No matter how hard it is for the Yuan family, it's nothing." Yuan Shang said with a sad face: "What I worry about is that no matter how hard it is, it will not change the fate of Hebei becoming another world..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Yuan Shang said such words, and Mrs. Liu's face turned cold: "The Cao family army has not arrived yet. As the lord of the whole Hebei, you are afraid first. How do you want the soldiers to follow you and keep the Yuan family's foundation?"

"I'm wrong, mother." Yuan Shang quickly stood up, bowed to Mrs. Liu and said, "From now on, I will never mention it again, and mother should not be bothered."

"It's good to know that it's wrong." Mrs. Liu sighed and said to Yuan Shang lovingly: "It's a pity that our Yuan family was defeated in Guandu, and then it was Cangting again. Your father left such a mess and handed it to you..."

"No matter how bad Hebei is, it is the place where I gave birth to me and raised me." Yuan Shang said: "I am not afraid of the Cao family..."

"Then what are you worried about?" asked Mrs. Liu.

"What I am really worried about is Cao Zirong." Yuan Shang said: "In the battle of Guandu, although Cao Zirong did not make much achievements, he fought Cangting alone. From the battle of Cangting, we can also see that with his army under his command, it is no effort to defeat the Yuan family..."

"Finally he is still your brother-in-law..." Mrs. Liu's eyes showed desolation and said leisurely: "When he came to Hebei, I liked him very much when I saw him. I felt that Fang'er had a chance to marry him..."

"Fang'er has a settlement, but the Yuan family is going to be defeated by Cao Zirong." Yuan Shang smiled bitterly and said to Mrs. Liu: "Shen Gong asked me to lead the Huns to join the war. I refused to agree. It was because of Cao Zirong that I made the decision."

"Are you planning to let the Huns deal with Cao Zirong?" Mrs. Liu asked in surprise.

"Ma Teng, Xiliang, Han Sui can deal with Cao Cao." Yuan Shang said: "After the Huns entered the pass, I will ask them to go straight to Huainan. Cao Zirong fought with the Yuan family for many years and had already adapted to the tactics of our Yuan family, but he would not know how the Huns fought. Maybe the Huns could really defeat Cao Zirong after going to Huainan."

Mrs. Liu's eyes were wide open when Yuan Shang said this.

Looking at Yuan Shang in surprise, Mrs. Liu said after a while: "This method is feasible, but..."

"What else do you have to worry about my mother?" Yuan Shang asked.

"I have no worries about the Huns going to fight Cao Zirong." Mrs. Liu said: "What I am worried about is your girl. I heard that the Huns robbed our Han women and returned to Hetao and would be full of ****..."

"They dare!" Yuan Shang glared: "As long as they dare to touch Fang'er, I will let them go back to Hetao alone!"

Looking at Yuan Shang, Mrs. Liu said nothing.

But she still couldn't let it go.

Yuan Fang is in Huainan. If the Huns cannot defeat Cao Shu, Hebei will definitely cause trouble.

If the Huns won, how could mothers not worry about their daughter?
