Chapter 39: General Kou Yi
Yuan Xi naturally knew that Qu Yi was a man who had been in the Three Kingdoms for so long, he had heard of this powerful general who was very good at attacking and outstanding achievements. At that time, Gongsun Zan was powerful, and because of the death of his brother Gongsun Yue, he raised troops to attack Yuan Shao. He was invincible all the way and was invincible. However, this general destroyed Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong in the Battle of Jieqiao, and then defeated Gongsun Zan in Luhe and Baoqiu. Since then, Gongsun Zan's elite troops have lost most of them and have to defend Yijing City. Now they have been directly destroyed.
To be honest, after Yuan Xi heard about it, he always felt that the general's contributions even surpassed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. His achievements and talents were completely called the No. 1 general in Shanghebei. However, Yuan Shao unanimously favored peerless generals, so Yan Liang and Wen Chou became representatives of northern military generals.
The last time the army was triumphant, Yuan Xi did not see Qu Yi, and thought he stayed in Youzhou and wiped out the remnants of Gongsun Zan, but he did not expect that he would anger his father.
"Who's the letter?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.
"It seems to be General Chunyu Qiong," the eunuch replied with some uncertainty.
"Chunyu Qiong" Yuan Xi frowned. Isn't this the wine bag that guarded Wuchao in the future Battle of Guandu? Could it be a false accusation or jealousy?
While the two of them were chatting, they had already arrived at the gate of Wuying Hall. The eunuch immediately went in to report. After a message, Yuan Xi hurriedly walked in. He looked up and saw that Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and the important civil and military officials in Yecheng had arrived. Yuan Shao sat on the most dazzling throne, with a trace of anger and murderous intent on his face.
"Son, pay homage to my father, I'll thank my father for his kindness." Yuan Xi knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao was in a bad mood at this time, and he didn't pay much attention to it and waved his hand, "Stay there!"
"No!!" Yuan Xi quickly stood beside Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, and found that their faces were quite serious, and it seemed that things were not simple anymore.
"Continue to discuss!" Yuan Shao ordered in a cold tone.
"Lord, I think this matter should be investigated clearly. After all, General Qu Yi made great contributions to the unification of the north," Shen Pei advised with a worried expression.
"Sir Shen, you seem to be saying that Zhong Jian is lying and deliberately slandering Qu Yi." Yan Liang stood up with dissatisfaction.
"Pei doesn't mean this, I just hope that the lord can be aware of his words." Shen Pei explained without panic.
Yan Liang smiled coldly and immediately clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, it's not the first time Qu Yi's arrogance, nor is it the first time that the last generals talk about him. He not only despises our colleagues, but also often tells his subordinates that his lord is unwise, especially his subordinates, who only recognize Qu Yi and do not know his lord. This time he was even more arrogant. He actually surrendered the generals and won people's hearts. His wolfish heart was obvious. When he betrayed Han Fu, he might betrayed his lord today."
A trace of surprise flashed across Yuan Xi's face, and Yan Liang seemed to have a great grudge against Qu Yi.
"Second brother, although Qu Yi is good at fighting, he has a arrogant personality. He has said in front of his father many times that General Yan Liang will not lead troops at all and can only be a general who charges and traps. Therefore, the two often quarrel, and the grudges can no longer be adjusted." Yuan Shang saw the surprise on Yuan Xi's face and immediately explained in a low voice.
Yuan Xi nodded slightly, so it was like this, no wonder.
After hearing Yan Liang's words, Yuan Shao's face immediately darkened, his fists were slightly clenched, and his eyes were even more murderous. He was already dissatisfied with Qu Yi's frequent ignoring his orders and acting privately, but Gongsun Zan was not destroyed and the north had not completed unification, so he had been patient in his heart.
Qu Yi was indeed strong in his troops, and Yuan Shao never denied it, but because of this, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in his heart. If he is talented but does not obey orders, that is a disaster.
Seeing this scene, Xun Kan, who was full of majestic faces, stood up anxiously.
"Lord, although General Qu Yi is wrong, his achievements are worthy. It is better to temporarily deprive him of military power and let him wake up. After all, our army still needs General Qu Yi to lead his troops to fight in the future."
"Mr. Xun, it's too light! If other generals follow this move in the future because of great contributions, then what rules can I do in the four continents?" The high-ranking official, who stood beneath Yan Liang and Wen Chou, suddenly stood up with a hint of hatred in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had also been humiliated by Qu Yi.
Xun Kan ignored the high-ranking cadre and said softly: "Lord, have you forgotten the Battle of Jieqiao?"
Yuan Shao's pupils shrank, and a touch appeared on his face.
"At that time, all the troops were afraid of Gongsun Zan's vast cavalry. The white horse Yicong was General Qu Yi who led his command to climb the camp first to withstand the opponent's attack. Only in this way can our army win the Jieqiao victory and destroy Gongsun Zan's overwhelming momentum." After Xun Kan said this, he reminded in a slightly solemn tone: "Lord, the world has not been unified yet."
Yuan Shao frowned and his eyes hesitated. Xun Kan's words were reminding him that the world had not been unified yet, and Qu Yi still had great use.
Yan Liang's eyes immediately flashed with anger, but he did not dare to offend the other party Xun Kan at will.
Looking at Yuan Shao with a change in expression, Yan Liang suddenly smiled confidently, took out a bamboo slip, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I will give a letter here to the slave in Quyi's mansion to the general. Please read it."
After Yuan Shao took it unexpectedly, he glanced slightly, his face turned red and his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"General, brave and good at fighting, resourceful. Although Zan was defeated by you three times, he still admired him. However, the birds were gone and the bows were hidden. Why should the general be under Yuan Shao? When Yuan Shao formed an alliance with the general to jointly plan the land of Jizhou, but in the end, Yuan Shao did not keep his promise and handed over all the troops to Yan Liang and Wen Chou. If the general was willing to withdraw his troops and work together with Zan, Zan would like to share the four continents of Hebei with the general in the future. If he regretted, he would die without a place to bury him-Gongsun Zan worshipped him."
"Lord, do you remember the so-called "Qu Yi's so-called withdrawal from his troops a year ago, Gongsun Zan took advantage of the situation to defeat Qu Yi and get the weight of his car?" Yan Liang reminded softly.
Yuan Shao raised his head suddenly, his face full of murderous intent, and held the bamboo slips tightly with his right hand, and blue veins appeared one by one.
Seeing this scene, Xun Kan immediately said worriedly: "Lord, what is written on it?"
Hearing this, Yuan Shao suddenly calmed down and quietly put down the bamboo slips, and smiled and said, "It's all the things that happened in the past, don't take them to heart. I'm free to argue, so I don't have to say too much."
Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel shocked. It's over, Qu Yi is over. My ministers are not afraid of the lord's anger, nor are they afraid of the lord's scolding, but they are afraid that the lord doesn't even want to mention it. This means that you are already a dead person in his heart.
Not only Yuan Xi realized that Shen Pei, Xun Kan, Xu You, Feng Ji and other important officials were also shocked.
Xun Kan and Shen Pei were anxious and wanted to persuade each other, but Yuan Shao suddenly waved his hand and changed the subject.
"Since everyone is here, let's discuss what the Curse is doing!"
