Chapter 280: Yuan Shu's death, Liu Bei betrays Cao

Youzhou, in the back garden of the governor's mansion.

Yuan Xi was walking on the corridor with a fierce and round hat wearing a fiery red armor and a powerful general in the lower right. After a closer look, he saw that the man following was the former apprentice of the little Shanyu and Hu Niuer. Now the chief of the two banners of Xianghong and Xiangnan. At this time, Timuer's face was a little sad and his spirit was not very good.

"Xi really didn't expect that Tadun Shanyu would go like this. It was so sudden." Yuan Xi sighed. Because of Tadun's loyalty to him and his help, he even made an exception and handed over the two banners of the Eight Banners to their father and son. He even issued an order that these two banners could last for three generations. This can be said to be a matter of the extreme coveting of the other banners. However, this time the Eight Banners gathered, Tadun did not come. It turned out that Tadun had died of illness in the Jinsha River King's tent just a few days ago. Thinking of the figure who was the only one who came to greet him, the only one who was loyal to the Wuhuan and wanted to maintain peace between the two tribes, Yuan Xi felt sorry for it.

"Father Khan did not untie the knot, so he left in depression," Timur said ashamed.

"You don't have to do this. It's Xi's fault. Xi should apologize to you." Yuan Xi said apologetically. Although he was asking him to choose, he still refused to hesitate. The reason why Tadun left so quickly was because he saw the situation of Wuhuan and pushed all the responsibilities on his own, causing depression to become sick and his body collapsed quickly. The formation of Xianghong and Xiangnan was completely completed by Timur alone.

"Mr. Marquis must not say that. Marquis will remember the love for my family in my heart." Timur said quickly, with only respect and gratitude in his eyes. Although Yuan Xi formed the Eight Banners this time and killed many people, their tribe did suffer very little losses, especially their family, which was extremely noble on the grassland. No matter how big or small the battles or if they were rewarded with silver, Yuan Xi left them with these two banners. The care often made the other six flags envious.

"This is what Xi should do. Xi has said a long time ago that the Eight Banners are the Talent on the grassland, and the Tadun family is even the Talent among the Talents," Yuan Xi said affirmatively.

"Mr. Xie" Timuer said gratefully again.

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "This time, you all the Eight Banners come here. The main reason is that the battle between the north and the south is probably about to break out. Just a few days ago, Xu Duxi's uncle Cao forced the emperor to kill the imperial concubine and killed dozens of ministers. It was such a big deal!"

"I heard that Cao Cao is too brave. Wouldn't he be afraid of internal and external troubles?" Timuyi said in confusion.

"Haha, he really has to solve his internal worries, so he does this. Cao Cao, a great hero, has a very thorough understanding of things. He forced the emperor to kill the imperial concubine, which caused a lot of noise and gave me the name of sending troops from the north. But it is imperative for me to do this in the north. Is this the same? But if you look closely, you will find that in addition to my north, how many other states and princes have made noises?" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"It seems that there is no such thing," Timuyi said in surprise.

"Yes, because although the prestige of the Han court is still there, in the hearts of all the princes, they are already kings. What does the emperor and noble people have to do with them? I guess they will use it to pull out the flag. The knowledgeable people understand that the Han Dynasty cannot save it at all, so Cao Cao is fearless. As for the ministers he killed, they are actually the root of cholera. Cao Cao loves talents, which is known to everyone. The reason why he killed them all was because he was afraid that when he fought with his father, they might all be in trouble, which was a real danger. So he had to completely eradicate this internal worries and shock those who were ill-behaved," Yuan Xi explained.

"But if this is the case, who will manage Xu Du's government affairs?" Timuer said curiously.

"The officials in Xudu court are divided into two parts: one is under the Sikong Mansion, and the other is under the court. This time, all the ministers killed by Cao Cao will be under the court. Therefore, the continuous killing of Cao Cao will not affect government affairs, but will be more unobstructed," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

Timur nodded, and now he understood completely and said seriously: "So that's the case, but it would be really a bit of courage to do it with such a big fanfare! It seems that this Cao Cao is indeed not simple."

"So the opponents we are facing this time will be terrible at any time in the past. The Eight Banners will follow me to fight Cao Cao head-on, you can be prepared," Yuan Xi reminded.

"Don't worry, the Eight Banners will never disappoint you," Timuer said with his fist.

"Okay" Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction.

......

Three days later, another amazing news that cheered and inspired the people and the gentry spread throughout the world.

Yuan Shu is dead.

In 199 AD, Yuan Shu finally failed to break through the Xuzhou defense line and rushed into Qingzhou. Halfway through, he was intercepted by Liu Bei and Zhu Lingxi's army. Finally, he looked back at Jiangting and died of blood and fighting, at the age of 48.

This hero who was the first to ascend the throne in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty and the first to blatantly declare the complete decline of the Han Dynasty. He finally ascended the throne less than a year and finally died under his own madness.

After receiving the news, Yuan Xi shook his head slightly and said, "The ending of the third uncle is destined, there is no need to say much. However, Liu Bei is really smart and takes advantage of this opportunity to steal Cao Cao's men and horses, but he also killed Che Zhou and seized Xuzhou again. I heard that he sent a letter to his father to form an alliance, and invited his father to attack Cao Cao from behind."

"This is actually a great opportunity for the north. For the Battle of the Central Plains, Cao Cao will definitely not allow two fronts to fight, so he will definitely send troops to conquer Liu Bei and stabilize the barrier in the east. Because when Xuzhou is lost, Yuan Gong's army can go down from Qingzhou. This is a great opportunity for Yuan Gong to eliminate Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao's main force is dragged in Xuzhou, Xu will be completely empty." Pang Tong said excitedly.

"Yes, this opportunity is indeed very rare. It's just a gift from Duke Yuan. I just don't know if Duke Yuan will adopt it." Xu Shu said with some doubts.

"That depends on Mr. Yuan himself and the ministers in Yecheng." Li Ru smiled faintly.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Only he knew clearly that his father missed it again this time, and it seemed that this time had caused a murder to Tian Feng in his previous life. Now Tian Feng has changed, I wonder who it is?

.....

At this time, in the inner hall of the General's Mansion in Yecheng, Xu You knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please send troops quickly!"

"Ziyuan, our army has not yet gathered its troops. How to send troops? It would be better to let Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight to defeat each other after both sides were injured, and he was sending troops to destroy him." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"Lord, the purpose of our army is to destroy Xu Du. Now Cao Cao has just forced the emperor to harm noble people and loses his heart. It is the best time to send troops. If Liu Bei is eliminated and Cao Cao turns around with the great victory, everyone will definitely be afraid. It is just that our army is trying to capture Xu Du and destroy Cao Cao's foundation, it will be more than ten times more difficult," Xu You advised loudly.

Yuan Shao's face calmed down and he felt a little moved.

"Lord, Ziyuan is right. This is indeed the best time to send troops." Tian Feng was also here. He didn't want to say that, but after all, he still had feelings for Yuan Shao, so he decided to say the last time.
Chapter completed!
