Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 261 One is fame, the other is profit (first update)
After gently flipping open the bamboo slips, I saw rows of delicate and curly characters appearing in front of my eyes, but after looking carefully, I found that the words contained deep nostalgia, sorrow, and expectation, and Yuan Xi's face became more and more icy cold When he got up, an uncontrollable suffocation surged out, causing Xu Shu and Yan Rou in the car to tremble involuntarily.

After reading all of them, Yuan Xi held the bamboo slips tightly, calming down the turbulent mood in his heart. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "Xi knows about this matter. Miss Cai misses her homeland and misses her family every day. What happened to her It makes people sad, Xi will find a way to bring her back."

"Master Hou is benevolent," Xu Shu and Yan Rou immediately saluted.

Yuan Xi smiled wryly. If he had followed his inner thoughts, he would have dispatched an army of [-] at this moment to completely exterminate the Xiongnu who had already been beaten by Emperor Wu. , or a soldier, it takes a while to recuperate, and the more important thing is the battle of the Central Plains, maybe within a year or two, this is related to his great cause, so he must not act impulsively, Cai Wenji is pitiful, but if he wants to This woman, ignoring the great cause, Yuan Xi asked himself that he could not do it. He needs time now. He only hopes that the big man can still have some power. First, he will find a way to bring Cai Wenji back through a transaction. After taking power, the Huns were completely wiped out.

"Don't let this matter out for the time being. Our army has won successive victories, and the generals are very proud. If they hear this, they will definitely be furious and actively ask for a fight, which will affect the self-cultivation of our army." Yuan Xi said solemnly reminded.

"No!" The two responded quickly.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, it was naturally an incomparably grand banquet. Yuan Xi toasted with Yan Rou with a smile on his face. Li Ru, Han Yan, and Yan Rou were carried back by Yan Fang and Pang Tong because they drank too much, while Xu Shu couldn't wait to go back and see his mother.

"Zipei, are you ready for the rewards tomorrow?" Yuan Xi asked, today is a banquet, and tomorrow will be the official rewards for those who have contributed to the Liaodong War.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, it's ready," Han Yan said.

"Okay." After Yuan Xi nodded, he handed Cai Wenji's letter to the two, and said, "Let's take a look."

After Li Ru took it curiously, he looked at it slowly, frowning involuntarily, and his face was a little ashamed. He was also responsible for this matter. It was Dong Zhuo and Li Jue who made trouble in Guanzhong back then, and the Xiongnu took advantage of it and snatched it away. This big man is famous for his talent.

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

"Zipei, do you know Ms. Cai?" Yuan Xi looked at Han Yan, who was flushed with anger, and his eyes were full of evil spirits, and asked in surprise.

Only then did Han Yan realize that he had lost his composure, and immediately blamed himself: "When Yan went to Luoyang to study, he was taught by Cai Zhonglang and met Ms. Cai, but there were frequent battles in the past few years. Ms. Cai was snatched away, but there was nothing she could do."

"So that's the case. Miss Cai's experience is sad, but the main goal of our army is the battle of the Central Plains in the near future. Although the great Xiongnu was maimed by Emperor Wu, there are currently estimated to be [-] to [-] soldiers. Naturally, our army can also be wiped out, but we are afraid of accidents that will affect the future development. What Xi means is to redeem Miss Cai with a lot of money first, what do you think?" Yuan Xi said.

"Master Hou, judging from the letter, Miss Cai seems to have rewarded the Xiongnu nobles with that bastard Zuo Xianwang. If that's the case, what if the Huns don't want to?" Han Yan asked with a frown.

"Then scare them, wave the Wuhuan Eight Banners, and the iron guards on the Mulun Grassland, put on a gesture of swearing not to give up, and then explain that Xi has been favored by Cai Zhonglang and must take his widow back. The current Xiongnu will never go to war with us in Youzhou for a woman," Yuan Xi said confidently.

Han Yan's face froze, and after a flash of determination and helplessness flashed in his eyes, he said: "Master Hou, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, the great cause of Lord Hou is the most important thing, Yan Yan sees this matter as delaying , wait until the end of the Central Plains War, then make a decision."

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.

After Yuan Xi glanced at Han Yan in relief, he looked at Li Ru who was suddenly silent, and asked curiously, "Military Master, why don't you speak?"

Li Ru smiled slightly, and said: "Master Hou, Zipei, in fact, this matter does not need to be so troublesome. If Mr. Yuan is willing to follow up, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"Father" Yuan Xi was surprised.

"That's right, Mr. Yuan has a good reputation. If this matter reaches his ears, 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, he can Greatly enhance Yuan Gong, and even the prestige of benevolence and morality of the entire Yuan family, maybe even Cao Cao of Xudu will personally send a letter to ask Yuan Gong to help, and the emperor will issue an imperial edict. From the perspective of Confucianism, this matter is no longer It should only be treated as a personal relationship," Li Ru said seriously.

Yuan Xi's pupils shrank, and after thinking about it for a while, he slapped the wooden case suddenly, stood up excitedly, and said: "The words of the military adviser just made Xi Mao suddenly realize that Wen Ji returned to Han, and it can indeed be my Yuan family's flaunt. Benevolence is a powerful tool for publicity. Although the father is in charge, we and other heirs will also receive huge benefits. This is a major event for the Yuan family."

There are two sides to this matter. In addition to personal feelings, in Yuan Xi's heart, this is still a major political issue. If it is handled well, all the scholars and common people in the world will admire the virtues of the Yuan family.

"Hou Ye only needs to write a letter. With the vision of many counselors in Yecheng and the help of Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Yuan will definitely take action. This matter is beneficial to the entire Yuan family. Support" Li Ru laughed.

"Not bad, not bad, but Xie's writing style is not good enough, Zipei, you write a letter, and present it to your father along with Miss Cai. Remember to use an angry or sad tone, and also reflect a kind of Han man. bloody," Yuan Xi exhorted.

"No!" Han Yan responded immediately, with a flash of excitement on his face.

After saying this, Yuan Xi suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, Xi almost forgot about the Goguryeo matter, military advisor, have you chosen someone yet?"

Some time ago, he planned to make a fortune in Goguryeo, but when there were too many things, he almost left it out of his mind.

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

"Hou Ye, Yan also knows about this matter, why don't you just let Zheng'er go?" Han Yan immediately said, blackmailing Goguryeo, all the money he got must be recorded in the Government Affairs Hall and then pressed. At that time, he decided to let his son go, but Li Ru was worried about Han Zheng's safety, so he didn't agree immediately.

Yuan Xi frowned, and said, "Xi, don't think so! Lelang County still has a lot of things to do, and Han Zheng can't get away, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"Master Hou" Han Yan suddenly yelled, and said seriously: "Han Zheng has no size, and he is indeed the honor of the prefect. Please give him this opportunity, Lord Hou. Since he has gone out, he is not Yan's son. It's the minister of Lord Hou, why can't he go if someone else goes?"

Looking at Han Yan with a firm tone and a stubborn expression, Yuan Xi was both moved and said helplessly: "Alright then! Let Han Zheng go to Goguryeo with three hundred armored soldiers, be careful."

"Thank you, Marquis," Han Yan immediately thanked.

"Do these two things together. Remember, these two things are important matters in the mansion. One is for fame, and the other is for profit. There is no room for negligence," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"
