Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Nine: One for Fame, Two for Profit

After gently turning the bamboo slips on, rows of beautiful and beautiful small characters appeared in front of me, but after careful reading, the words were indeed filled with deep longing, sadness, and expectation. Yuan Xi's face became colder, and an uncontrollable evil spirit erupted, making Xu Shu and Yan Rou in the car tremble in their hearts.

After reading it all, Yuan Xi held the bamboo slips tightly and calmed down the turbulent mood in her heart. After a long time, she said, "Xi knows this. Miss Cai is thinking about her hometown and misses her relatives every day. Her experience is sad. Xi will think of a way and must bring her back."

"The Marquis is kind" Xu Shu and Yan Rou immediately polite.

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly. If he followed his inner thoughts, he would have to force a hundred thousand troops to completely destroy the Huns who had been beaten by Emperor Wu. However, the Battle of Wuhuan and Liaodong, both food and grass, and soldiers, it would take some time to cultivate and rejuvenate. The more important thing is the Battle of Central Plains. Perhaps in the past or two years, this is related to his great cause, so he must not act impulsively. Cai Wenji is pitiful, but if he wants to ignore the great cause for this woman, Yuan Xi asked himself that he could not do it. He needs time now, and he only hopes that the Han can still have some power. He first finds a way to bring Cai Wenji back through transactions. After he integrates the northern land and seizes power, he will completely eliminate the Huns.

"Don't leak this matter for the time being. Our army won consecutive victories, and the generals were very proud. If they heard this rashly, they would definitely be angry and actively requested to fight, which would affect our army's cultivation." Yuan Xi reminded seriously.

"No!" the two of them responded quickly.

After returning to the governor's mansion, it was naturally a grand banquet. Yuan Xi raised his glass with Yan Rou and drank it with a smile. The civil and military officials were also very happy. About midnight, the banquet had ended. Yuan Xi summoned Li Ru and Han Yan in the study. As for Yan Rou, because she drank too much, she was carried back by Yan Fang and Pang Tong, while Xu Shu couldn't wait to go back and see his mother.

"Zi Pei, are you ready for rewards tomorrow?" Yuan Xi asked. Today is a banquet, and tomorrow will officially reward the meritorious ministers of the Liaodong War.

"Half Marquis is at ease, he is ready," Han Yan said.

"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded and handed Cai Wenji's letter to the two of them, saying, "You can take a look."

After Li Ru took it curiously, he slowly looked up, frowned and felt a little ashamed on his face. He also had the responsibility for this matter. It was because Dong Zhuo and Li Jue were in rebellion in Guanzhong that the Huns had the opportunity to take advantage of this famous talented woman from the Han Dynasty.

"Bastard" only heard an angry shout, and Yuan Xi and Li Ru both looked at Han Yan unexpectedly.

"Zi Pei, do you know Miss Cai?" Yuan Xi looked at Han Yan with a fierce look in her eyes and said a little surprised.

Han Yan realized that he had lost his composure at this time and immediately blamed himself: "When Yan went to Luoyang to study, he was taught by Cai Zhonglang and met Miss Cai. However, he fought frequently in the past few years. Although Yan had heard that Miss Cai was stolen, he was powerless."

"So that's the case, Ms. Cai's experience is sad, but the main goal of our army is the Battle of Central Plains soon. Although the Great Huns had been crippled by Emperor Wu, it is estimated that there are still 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers, and our army can naturally be eliminated, but for fear of accidents that will affect the future development, Xi means to redeem Miss Cai with a large amount of money first, what do you think?" Yuan Xi said.

"Marty, from the letter, Miss Cai seems to have already rewarded the Huns nobles that bastard Zuo Xianwang. What if the Huns don't want to do this?" Han Yan asked with a frown.

"Then scare them, waved the Eight Banners of the Wuhuan and the Iron Guards on the Mulun Grassland, and acted like a vow to stop. Then he explained that Xi had been favored by Cai Zhonglang and needed to bring his daughter back. The current Xiongnu would never go to war with us Youzhou for a woman," Yuan Xi said confidently.

Han Yan's face narrowed, and a trace of determination and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Marty, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of if. The Martyr's great cause is the most important. Yan sees this matter, and then make a decision after the Battle of Central Plains is over."

Han Yan is a grateful person, but the most important thing in his heart is Yuan Xi's great cause. For this, he would rather let Cai Wenji suffer some pain.

Yuan Xi looked at Han Yan with relief, looked at Li Ru who was suddenly silent, and curiously said: "Military advisor, why don't you speak?"

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Marquis, Zi Pei, in fact, this matter doesn't have to be so troublesome. If Mr. Yuan is willing to go ahead, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Father" Yuan Xi was surprised.

"Yes, Mr. Yuan is very famous. If this matter is heard by him, he will definitely not take it lightly. What's more, Cai Zhonglang was famous all over the world and had a high prestige in the hearts of scholars. If this matter is done well, it can greatly enhance the benevolence and prestige of the Yuan family. Perhaps even Cao Cao from Xu Du would send a letter to him personally and ask Mr. Yuan to help him, and the emperor would issue an imperial edict. From the perspective of Confucianism, this matter should no longer be treated as a personal feeling." Li Ru said seriously.

Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and after thinking for a while, he slapped the wooden table suddenly, stood up excitedly, and said, "The military advisor's words make Xi Mao suddenly open. Wen Ji's return to the Han Dynasty can indeed become a propaganda weapon for my Yuan family to promote benevolence. Although he is the master of my father, our descendants will also receive huge benefits. This is a major event for the Yuan family."

Things have two sides. In addition to personal feelings, in Yuan Xi's heart, this is still a major political matter. If handled well, it can make the scholars and people in the world admire the virtues of the Yuan family.

"Justice Marquis only write a letter, with the eyes of many advisers in Yecheng and the help of Lord Tian, ​​Mr. Yuan will definitely take action. This matter is beneficial to the entire Yuan family. Even the third son, the eldest son and the others will support him," Li Ru said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, but Xi's writing style is not good. Zi Pei, write a letter and send it to my father with this copy with Miss Cai. Remember to have anger, sadness, and the bloodiness of a Han man," Yuan Xi instructed.

"No!" Han Yan responded immediately, a hint of excitement flashing across his face.

After saying this, Yuan Xi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Xi almost forgot about Goguryeo. Military advisor, have you chosen the candidate?"

Some time ago, he planned to make a move from Goguryeo, but as soon as there were too many things, he almost threw it out of his mind.

"I chose a few, but" Li Ru looked at Han Yan helplessly.

"Marty, Yan also knows about this matter, so why not let Zheng'er go there." Han Yan immediately said, extorting Goguryeo, and all the money he received had to be recorded in the Government Affairs Hall. He was a man who knew it naturally, so he decided to let his son go at that time, but Li Ru was worried about Han Zheng's safety and did not agree immediately.

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey can't see it anymore! There are still many things in Lelang County. Han Zheng can't get rid of it, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"Marquis" Han Yan suddenly shouted and said seriously: "Han Zheng has no merits and is indeed the supreme minister. Please be sure to give him this opportunity. Since he has gone out, he is not Yan's son, but the minister of the Marquis. Why can't he go if someone else goes?"

Looking at Han Yan, who was firm and stubborn, Yuan Xi was both moved and helpless, "Okay! Let Han Zheng go on a mission to Goguryeo, and be careful with his armored soldiers."

"Marty Xie" Han Yan immediately said gratefully.

"Do these two things together. Remember, these two things are major matters in the palace. One is for fame and the other is for profit, and there is no need to be negligent," Yuan Xi ordered.
