Chapter Thirty-Seven: Watch the Prison

When the first rays of sunlight came out of the clouds in the morning, Yuan Yun felt very surprised, this is a very rare weather in winter, through this brightness, the Jingzhou military camp outside the city has been empty, Liu Qi chose to retreat in the middle of the night, and now only a huge garbage dump is left, and even a lot of corpses can be seen faintly.

Zhao Yun also led 20,000 cavalry out of the Great Wall at this time, and went straight to the tail of the Jingzhou army to chase after him, Zhuge Liang followed with 5,000 gunpowder troops.

Xu Yi now has no previous attachment to military exploits, looking at this heartless eating meat and drinking soup in the camp tent, Yuan Yun felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, Xu Chu, a peerless general, turned out to be so poor in his son, and he didn't know if he would be grabbed by the other party by the back collar and beaten because of this incident in the future.

After kicking Xu Yi's leg at the head of the bed, Yuan Yuncai lay down with his head on his pillow, and Deng Ai hurriedly went to the stove to prepare a soup bowl and a meat bun that would never fall.

Xu Yi seemed to be full at this time, patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Liu Qi shouldn't have retreated so quickly, if he left some people to continue to defend, and then led the large army to withdraw, this is the right way." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, looked at Xu Yi, who was full of oil, and said unhappily: "It is said that you don't have the life of a general, you know the tactics of a fart, the reason why Liu Qi ran so fast is because the Jingzhou soldiers under his command can no longer support it, I didn't see the scout report who returned in the morning, Liu Qi's camp is full of people who have frozen to death, in this case, how do you let the other party organize people to continue to stay and defend, and then facilitate his escape?" If he did this, he would definitely cause a mutiny in the army. ”

Xu Yi was scolded for not having a military mind, and now he doesn't seem to be angry, so he nodded with a smile: "My brain is really not suitable for the army, this kind of rough thing should be handed over to a rough person like Dianman, Lao Tzu will govern the place in the future, won't it be a waste to fight." ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes angrily, then sat up from the bed, and after taking the soup bowl sent by Deng Ai, he didn't rush to taste it, but asked Xu Yi: "How did Xiahou Nan return so quickly this time to escort the grain and grass?" The messenger reported that he would be there in half an hour. ”

Xu Yi also rolled his eyes as Yuan Yun looked like just now, and then replied: "Didn't you say it before, Wancheng has now become a transit station, and Luoyang's baggage will be transported there first, so Xiahou Nan only needs to take over from there, so it will naturally be much faster." ”

After speaking, Xu Yi waved his hand, and then changed the topic and said: "Let's not talk about this first, a few of my guards just came from Luoyang, and I heard that those Hu people are building an ancestral hall for you, and they are about to treat you as a fairy. ”

"Got a." After Yuan Yun took a sip of the hot soup, he replied directly, and then explained: "The living environment of these Hu people in the Western Regions does not allow them to be grateful to Dade, they are all very realistic utilitarians, and they will naturally be greeted with a good face if they are advantageous, if they are useless, it is guaranteed that they will fall into the well." ”

Xu Yi was stunned and wondered: "Then isn't this equivalent to raising tigers, why do we still give them Luoyang's household registration?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "People, there will always change, these Hu people now believe in Buddhism, the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City has become their holy place, and the biggest advantage of Buddhism is that it is convenient for the ruler to manage the people, so as long as you make good use of the White Horse Temple, and then encircle the elders of those tribes, then these Hu people will be obedient."

Do you know that these Hu people are actually easier to manage than our own people, because they have simple brains, unlike our people, who are too smart in some aspects, Hu people are much simpler, if they have milk, they are mothers, even if they are not milk, as long as they are given food and clothing, they will feel very satisfied.

The most important thing is that the Hu people who came this time are divided into several tribes, so it is difficult to cohesion, the Hu people are not like our Han people, they have the concept of national clans, so it is also very difficult to incite them, as long as they are full, they are the most peaceful group of people. ”

After hearing what Yuan Yun said, Xu Yi suddenly laughed and said, "No wonder you have been very targeted at the White Horse Temple before, but now you let these Hu people often go in and out of it, it turns out that you want to control them through the White Horse Temple." ”

Yuan Yun sighed again and said: "There is this consideration, but Buddhism still has to be strictly controlled, before I die, if I can't find a way to completely control them, I will vigorously destroy the Buddha, knowing that there will not be a single Buddhist in the entire Central Plains." ”

Xu Yi instantly stuck out his tongue and said, "Don't be so ruthless, people preach their own Buddhism, and they don't get in the way of you." ”

Yuan Yun knew that he couldn't explain it to Xu Yi, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "These are all afterwords, now Buddhism is still a very small force in our Central Plains, and it is not difficult to use and eradicate it, now I have an important thing for you to do." ”

Xu Yi lowered his head and said, "What's the matter, you don't plan to throw me here to defend again, and then you take someone to pursue Liu Qi, right?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his hand and said: "I want you to get more information about Xudu, Sima Yi knows that we are using the beggar gang to collect intelligence, so we drove all the beggars in Xudu, resulting in my ignorance of Xu Du now, which makes me very worried, and I always feel that Cao Pi and Sima Yi will do something bad."

Even Sima Yi will keep an eye on your Xu family's people, but there are so many people in Xu Du who have a relationship with you, and your Xu family's network in Xu Du is very extensive, so it is most appropriate to ask you to handle this matter. ”

Xu Yi frowned instantly, nodded and said: "It's really negligent, they don't seem to have any hope now, but if they want to make a desperate bet, it's not impossible, this matter is easy to do, I will send a personal guard to return to Xudu Zhang Luo This matter, it's not that I brag, even if Xu Du is a street vendor, he has more connections with my family, not to mention some officials in the court, as long as I want to, I can definitely keep an eye on Cao Pi." ”

Yuan Yun put the soup bowl aside when he heard this, and then patted Xu Yi's shoulder and said: "This is very good, hurry up to Zhang Luo now, I can't receive the information from Cao Pi and Sima Yi for a moment, and I won't be at peace for a moment." ”

Xu Yi immediately clenched his fists and retreated, and left the camp, because he was also very anxious about this matter, and now the Xu family is betting all the treasures on Cao Ang's side, if he really makes any moths for Cao Pi, it is equivalent to putting their entire Xu family in danger, how can they not be in a hurry?

After Xu Yi left, Yuan Yunyou looked at Deng Ai and said: "Although you have just come back, you should rest for a while, but now is the most critical moment, but you can't relax at all, so Xiao Ai also followed to cooperate with your Uncle Xu Yi, and five hundred special forces will be dispatched by you, so be sure to keep an eye on Cao Pi and Sima Yi." ”

Deng Ai immediately clenched his fists and said, and then followed Xu Yi.

Sima Yi must not be taken lightly, he is living by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Sima finally got the world, a big reason is that everyone neglected his existence, thinking that he was just a soft egg, and as a result, this soft egg grinded Zhuge Liang to death and changed the surname of the person in power in the world, so it must not be negligent.

After Cao Pi was defeated in Yecheng, it seemed to have stopped on the surface, but behind the scenes, he must have been very unwilling, otherwise how could he suddenly start driving away the beggars in Xu Du, and even planted a large number of eyeliner near Yuan's old mansion, there is only one possibility to do so much, that is, they are ready to start acting again.

And this action must be desperate, what Yuan Yun is most afraid of is that the other party is jumping off the wall in a hurry, you must know that people at this time are not rational, so they can do anything.

After eating the hot soup and steamed buns, Yuan Yun had already walked out of the camp, looking at the heavy snow that began to fall again, his mood was much better in an instant, in this kind of weather, the Jingzhou soldiers brought back by Liu Qi must have suffered heavy losses, there is no good cold protection, and they have to flee with their lives, and the casualties are definitely not light.

"Xiaoliu, when Xu Yi comes back in a while, we should also clean up, it is estimated that Cao Hong's new army will come over soon, and we will continue to go deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou and go straight to Xiangyang."

When Xiao Liu heard Yuan Yun say this, he immediately clasped his fists and smiled: "General Cao Hong's scout has arrived, and informed him that the new army is behind Xiahou Nan's baggage team, and it is estimated that it will arrive at noon." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is Shi Shen's goods good now in the Western Regions?" Recently, he has been busy with military affairs, but he rarely pays attention to his news. ”

Xiao Liu said with a smile: "Brother Shi Shen is eating and drinking spicy now, our caravan is even more like a fish in water over there, although the warlords over there in the Western Regions are constantly fighting each other, but as soon as our family's Yuan Zi banner appears, all parties will give a little face, I heard that Brother Shi Shen can already be called a brother and sister to the king of the small country over there." ”

Yuan Yun laughed, thinking of Shi Shen's rammer and those kings hooking their shoulders, he always felt as if he had seen a few monkeys playing treasure there.

After laughing, Yuan Yun asked again, "How is Deng Ba doing over there?" After the closure of the port of Guangzhou, the Shixie of Jiaozhi should have tasted the bitterness now, right? ”

Xiao Liu replied: "No, now Shixie has sent several waves of people to find the third lady Yiyi, just to restore the sea lane." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Isn't the Wang family in charge of the sea lanes, why do you want to come to Yiyi?" ”

Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and immediately explained: "Now the third lady is taking care of the business affairs over there, and the Wang family is only responsible for shipping, because in terms of business, the third lady of our family can not compare."

Although Shi Xie sent someone to talk about it this time, the third lady just ignored it, and now it is estimated that those envoys are still in the side house of the Yuan Mansion. ”

Hearing Xiao Liu say this, Yuan Yun was not in a hurry, since Liu Yiyi was in charge of the affairs over there, then he would definitely not suffer, when would that goblin let others take advantage, I was afraid that Shi Xie would be bloodied out this time.

At this moment, I saw a herald slapping his horse in front of him, and then quickly turned over and dismounted, lower than a battle report written by Zhuge Liang himself, Zhao Yun chased and killed, ten miles of land without leaving a piece of armor, corpses all over the field, Jingzhou army has begun to disperse in a large area.
