After hearing what Liu said, Yuan Shao said in a cold voice: "It's just nonsense, what a shame!"
"I heard that he did a lot of ridiculous things in Beixin City. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't think it was true!"
"I haven't done anything serious in three years. I think about women all the time!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Xi'er is almost twenty anyway. If it had been anyone else, they would have been married for several years. No wonder he is like this."
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Who asked me to run over there!"
"Originally I wanted him to get married three years ago, but I didn't expect that he never came back. It seems that he lives a much more comfortable life in Beixin City than in Yecheng!"
When he was excited, he coughed several times. Mrs. Liu quickly came over, helped him gently pat his back, and said, "Then how to arrange those concubines?"
"It wouldn't be good for the Zhen family to see it, right?"
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "In that case, make a house next to the house, and bring those women in and place them there as soon as they enter the city."
"Also, let Shang'er take the traitor and come to see me directly after entering the city!"
Mrs. Liu quickly agreed and walked out the door.
She ordered someone to summon Pang Ji and said, "The governor asked you to find a nearby yard to house Xi'er's concubines."
"I remember that Zhen Yao of the Zhen family was a filial and honest man and became a slave under you?"
"You arrange for him to be responsible for this."
Zhen Yao was the son of Zhen Yi, the previous owner of the Zhen family. Pang Ji understood this and sent someone to the Zhen family.
Mrs. Liu looked at Pang Ji's back and sneered in her heart.
That little beast still wants to marry the daughter of the Zhen family?
The ancestors of the Zhen family once served as Taibao and held the hereditary official position of county governor of 2,000 stone. Although it has declined now, it is still a famous family in Hebei.
There are many branches of the Zhen family, and Zhen Yi is one of them. He once served as the magistrate of Shangcai County. He has three sons and five daughters, the youngest is Zhen Mi.
But now Zhen Yi has been dead for many years, and two sons have died young, leaving only Zhen Yao as a son.
However, the Zhen family was involved in business and was quite wealthy. In troubled times, money represented food and soldiers, and was the target of the princes' wooing.
Yuan Shao's current wife, Mrs. Liu, was from a prominent family and had clan blood. Although there were only eight thousand or less people with clan blood at this time, she was still superior to others.
So Mrs. Liu knew the benefits of relying on her natal family, but what made her angry was that Yuan Shao chose to marry Yuan Xi to the Zhen family instead of Yuan Shang!
The eldest son Yuan Tan was born to Yuan Shao's late wife. When Yuan Tan married his wife Wen, Yuan Shao had not yet made a fortune, so the Wen family did not have a deep family background, so Liu was not too worried about this.
Yuan Xi was supposed to get married three years ago, but instead ran to Beixin City. But by that time, Yuan Shao had already agreed to marry the Hong family in Hebei.
Yuan Shao originally planned to let Yuan Xi marry the Hong family. Although the Hong family in Hebei was also a wealthy family, its background was still inferior to that of the Zhen family.
At that time, Yuan Shao had just captured Jizhou from Jizhou Mu Han Fu. His foothold was not stable and he urgently needed the support of the local wealthy families. Many wealthy families were still waiting and watching. Only a few families such as the Hong family expressed their willingness to marry.
Since Yuan Xi ran away, Yuan Shao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let Yuan Shang marry Hong. Although Liu was reluctant at the time, she wanted to appear virtuous and virtuous in front of Yuan Shao, so she finally agreed.
Now Yuan Shao has become a popular figure in Jizhou, and aristocratic families have attached themselves to him. Among Yuan Shao's four sons and one daughter, four are still young, so only Yuan Xi is suitable for marriage.
Therefore, Yuan Shao made an agreement with the Zhen family to let Yuan Xi marry Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family.
Mrs. Liu felt resentful in her heart, why did Shang'er suffer the loss?
He is just a humble concubine, and he dares to marry Shang'er!
What Shang'er can't get, you can't even imagine!
Moreover, the Hong family is in decline, which has already hindered Shang'er. In addition, the Hong family has not done anything yet. Liu family even wants to find an opportunity to divorce the Hong family and let Shang'er marry a prominent family.
Yuan Xi closed his eyes and meditated in the car. Among the people in Yecheng who wanted to deal with him, Yuan Shang and his group were the most difficult to deal with.
His mother, Mrs. Liu, was a fan of the pillow, and her advisers made suggestions. Yuan Shang was good at disguise and could be said to be extremely difficult to deal with.
Beixin City's occasional food shortages in the past three years should be related to Yuan Shang, but Yuan Xi couldn't figure out where Yuan Shang's hostility towards him came from.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't. He was not the eldest son, but a concubine. Why was Yuan Shang so wary of him?
Although after traveling through time, Yuan Xi discovered that he was almost misled by the Concubine God Cult in his previous life.
The status of a concubine is not good, just not as high as that of a legitimate son, but he is still quite valued by the family.
At that time, people's life span was extremely short, and babies were more likely to die in infancy. Many noble families could not give birth to a son in their lifetime, and were forced to adopt children with other surnames. Under such circumstances, how could they not raise children because of a concubine?
There are direct heirs, but there are no direct heirs. Even in the Han Dynasty, there were many examples of virtuous people but not long-term people.
When Liu Bei was nearly forty years old, he still had no heir, so he was forced to adopt Liu Feng as his adopted son. Later, he gave birth to his eldest son, Liu Chan. If the lord of the land was like this, why should he care about his legitimate concubines at this time?
Yuan Xi couldn't figure out Yuan Shang's motives for the time being, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, he didn't go back to Yecheng just to get married.
The most important purpose is to stir Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou into a pot of gruel in advance, so that Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei can restrain each other, so that Yuan Shao can free up his hands to attack Tian Kai and Gongsun Zan with confidence, and Yuan Xi can capture Youzhou early.
So Yuan Xi first pretended to be a hidden tiger and asked Zhang Miao, Lu Bu and Chen Gong to prepare for the rebellion, and then planned to save the lives of 100,000 people in Xuzhou by rescuing Cao Song's family so that Cao Cao would not have an excuse to attack Xuzhou and turn around to fight Lu Bu to the death.
In this way, after Liu Bei takes over Xuzhou, he will have more manpower and material resources to defend, and he will not be so embarrassed when facing Cao Cao.
For other parties, Liu Biao was already on good terms with Yuan Shao, and Zhang Xiu was Cao Cao's enemy for a few years, so they could be used as a check against Cao Cao.
Yuan Xi will use his two identities, light and dark, to connect the four parties and suppress Cao Cao. This is the plan Yuan Xi came up with to control Cao Cao.
This plan is too complicated, and the more intermediate links there are, the more likely it is that problems will arise. If there is another way, Yuan Xi doesn't want to do it, but he is just an ordinary person, so this is the best way he can come up with at the moment.
Because Cao Cao put too much pressure on him.
Cao Cao commented that Yuan Shao was resourceful and less decisive, but he thought too much and hesitated when making decisions. This was also related to the fact that Yuan Shao had too many factions.
Yuan Shao is now too big to lose, and there are too many nobles standing behind him, so he no longer dares to gamble.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, is a great strategist. He is extremely decisive in critical situations, has a great gambling spirit, and never misses any opportunity.
Reflected in the historical process, Cao Cao was at his worst. Although he was beaten to only a few cities, he could always make a comeback and occupy the five states of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, and Yongzhou in just three years.
The land exceeds Yuan Shao’s four states.
By the time Yuan Shao reacted, it was already too late.
That's why Yuan Xi tried every means to hold back Cao Cao. He didn't think it was unfair. On the contrary, it was the greatest respect for Cao Cao. After all, if Cao Cao gained power, the Yuan family would really die.
Yuan Xi suddenly opened his eyes. The next step is how to save Cao Song legitimately. The key to this lies in Yuan Shao!
If Yuan Shang tries to stumble again, Yuan Shao will nod and everything will be no problem!
In the courtyard of a deep house in Yecheng, there was faint laughter coming from a two-story building.
A helpless voice said: "Sister, I'm still reading, don't make any noise."
Another voice chuckled: "You are still pretending, now half of Yecheng knows that your future husband is coming back to the city."
A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a bright red skirt, was sitting in front of the second floor window, holding a tube of bamboo slips in her hand.
He has a high bun, light hanging hair, narrow shoulders, a thin waist, a long and white neck, and a stunning and regular appearance.
She raised her head slightly, frowned slightly, and looked at her with bright eyes. The beauty in just this glance eclipsed the furnishings in the small building.
