Chapter 247 A better choice(1/2)
By the way, Yuan Xing has a little fond of Pan Feng.
Not to mention that Yuan Shao was driven out of Jizhou by Pan Feng, it was a matter of loyalty and responsibility for his own master.
Although Yuan Shao failed in the end, it did not prevent Yuan Xing from admiring Pan Feng's heroic worship.
Women in the world, who doesn’t want to marry a hero like Pan Feng?
But even though he has a good impression, Yuan Xing never thought that he would really marry Pan Feng one day. Because Pan Feng had a grudge with his father, how could his father marry her to Pan Feng?
So when Yuan Shao said he would let Yuan Xing marry Pan Feng, Yuan Xing was so surprised.
"Xing'er, I know you are very surprised. In fact, there is no way to be a father." Yuan Shao sighed and said.
If so, who would be willing to marry his most beloved daughter to his enemy?
Yuan Shao is not stupid, nor is his advisers.
Why did Yuan Shao do this? The reason for this starts with the battle report from Changyi.
Liu Bei's words woke up Yuan Shao, who knew it later. He felt that Yuan Shu's move almost killed him.
The current situation is that Yuan Shao stationed troops in the northern part of Yangzhou, and Liu Biao was eyeing Jingzhou. In addition, there are Pan Feng in the east, Cao Cao in the north, and Zhang Xiu in the west.
All of these forces have almost surrounded Yuan Shu's retreat!
If Yuan Shu was still strong, then there was no way to say it. Even if Yuan Shao had a intention to rebel in his heart, he would not dare to express it easily.
But the current situation seems to have taken a huge turnaround because of the defeat in Changyi.
Because of Changyi's great defeat, Yuan Shu had to draw troops from other places to resist the fierce Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu.
The consequence of doing this is that Yuan Shu's territory began to appear.
This loophole can be the Jingzhou defense line in the south, the Xuzhou defense line in the east, or the Yangzhou defense line in the southeast.
However, Yuan Shao had already sent a letter to Yuan Shu, saying that he was clearing out the rebellious forces within Yangzhou.
In this way, with Yuan Shu's arrogance and greed, he would definitely not draw troops from Yangzhou.
Since this is the case, Yuan Shu can still draw troops from the defense line of Jingzhou in the south and Xuzhou in the east. Because Sun Wentai is inevitably present, Yuan Shu cannot easily remove the defense line of the south.
In this way, Yuan Shu could only mobilize the troops on the eastern defense line!
Thinking about it, now Pan Feng has just occupied Xuzhou, and normal people would think that Pan Feng would take this opportunity to recuperate and he would not be able to fight again. After all, Jizhou had just experienced a turbulent turmoil not long ago.
With Jizhou's policy of treating the people well, it is impossible to send troops at this time.
In this way, Yuan Shu will definitely feel at ease to pull away the troops on the Xuzhou defense line to the east.
Once Yuan Shu takes away these troops, Yuan Shao’s chance will come!
He has been coveting Yuan Shu's territory for a long time, especially in recent years, Yuan Shu has developed rapidly and has become a major prince who has surpassed Jing Xiang.
Liu Biao, who was on the south, dreamed that he wanted to clean up Yuan Shu, but unfortunately, he was not strong enough to be a guardian dog in Jingzhou.
If Yuan Shao takes over Yuan Shu's territory, then his strength will surpass the peak and he will have the capital to compete for the world again!
And the starting point of all this is Pan Feng’s dispatch of troops!
A qualified prince should not be confused by emotions and hatred!
This is the reason that Yuan Shao has thought about over the years after his defeat in Jizhou.
If you want to dominate the world, you must regard your interests as more important than your own face!
Because of this, Yuan Shao made up his mind to marry Yuan Xing to Pan Feng this time.
As Yuan Xing, one of Yuan Shao's favorite daughters, Yuan Shao believes that Pan Feng will definitely feel his sincerity after marrying Yuan Xing.
At that time, as long as a letter is sent to Pan Feng and asks him to send troops to intersperse from the east to cut off Yuan Shu's retreat, then all the territory south of Yanzhou will belong to him Yuan Shao!
Just this step is needed, Yuan Shao can resurrect and regroup!
Yuan Shao was not sure about what he thought. She just wondered why her father made this decision.
Now seeing Yuan Shao frowning and sighing, Yuan Xing's heart softened.
After all, I loved my father for so many years and grew up, and it was time to share my worries and solve my problems.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xing bowed to Yuan Shaoyingying.
"Father, I know your difficulties. I am willing to marry Pan Feng to help my father."
At this moment, Yuan Xing seemed to have really grown up.
"Good...good boy." Yuan Shao nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.
......
Xuzhou.
Pan Feng was completely confused when he received a letter from Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao actually wants to marry his beloved daughter Yuan Xing to him?
What is the operation?
Pan Feng was extremely puzzled.
To be honest, it is understandable that Yuan Shao scolded him in a letter. After all, the two of them had a grudge first, but what the hell was to give him a daughter directly?
Is it because I took Xuzhou and wanted to make friends with me?
Or are there other unknown plots?
Anyway, Pan Feng didn't believe that Yuan Shao would suddenly give him a woman with such kindness. With Yuan Shao's temperament, it would be absolutely impossible to say that there is no other purpose here!
"General Yuan's daughter has arrived in the city?" Pan Feng said lightly to the messenger below.
The messenger did not dare to look up at Pan Feng, but just lowered his head and answered in the most respectful voice.
"Duke Yuan was afraid that the secular and complex rituals would cause inconvenience to the general, so he directly ordered someone to send the lady over." The messenger explained.
Pan Feng raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Shao, who paid the most attention to status in the fourth generation, actually said that the secular rituals were troublesome? This is really a big deal.
"Tell me, what is General Yuan's purpose? If I don't say it, I will let someone pull you down and kill you now!"
At the end of his speech, Pan Feng was already full of glare and frightened the messenger and knelt on the ground.
"General, please spare me. The little one is just a messenger who delivers messages. How could he know what Mr. Yuan was going to do? The little one really didn't know!" The messenger knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Pan Feng frowned, and the messenger did not look like he was hiding something.
It seems that the breakthrough point may be Yuan Shao's daughter.
Thinking of this, Pan Feng directly called two personal guards to guard the messenger, and then headed to the inn in the city.
Yuan Shao’s daughter has arrived at the inn today!
......
City Inn.
When he learned that Pan Feng had arrived, the inn manager hurriedly brought the servants in the hall to greet him.
"Meet General Pan!" Everyone in the inn salutes one after another.
Pan Feng waved his hand gently, looked at the carriage at the door and asked, "Did Yuan Shao's daughter come to the inn?"
"Yes, yes, it's just arrived an hour ago." The inn chief replied respectfully.
"You are leading the way, I want to see what Yuan Shao sells in the gourd!"
"promise!"
Under the leadership of the inn, Chen'an soon arrived at the gate of a small courtyard behind.
"Tu tu tu!" The inn chief knocked on the gate of the courtyard.
"Who?" A female voice came from inside, probably someone like a maid.
"General Pan is here, you guys open the door quickly."
"General Pan? But General Pan Feng and General Pan?" The voice inside the door continued to ask.
"It's General Pan Feng!"
When I heard that it was General Pan Feng, there was a commotion inside the door, and it sounded like someone was hurried into the house.
After a while, the gate of the courtyard slowly opened.
"Why did General Pan Feng come here?" As he spoke, a playful and cute maid came out.
When he saw Pan Feng behind the charge, he immediately bowed.
"I pay homage to General Pan Feng. My lady has not yet entered the general's mansion, so it is not convenient to see the general now."
"If the general wants to meet my lady, please welcome the lady into the mansion as soon as possible." As he spoke, a hint of contempt flashed in the maid's eyes.
This maid obviously regarded Pan Feng as a hungry ghost.
Pan Feng felt very unhappy when he saw a maid who dared to stop him, and he had no good feelings for Yuan Shao's daughter he had never met.
