Yuan Xi fled quickly, and the horses he sat on were definitely good horses, although the scouts sent out by Xiaoliu took away two pack horses, but there was still no news after a day passed, and when he returned to Luoyang Yuan's mansion the next day to report, Yuan Xi's whereabouts were still not followed.

Yuan Yun frowned slightly after listening to Xiao Liu, and after instructing Qing'er to bring Xiao Liu a cup of tea, his stomach became pondering, as if he had a big uneasiness in his heart, he didn't like this unstable factor very much outside his control.

Xun Yun looked at Yuan Yun with a solemn expression, and could only say words of comfort: "Yuan Xi is no big deal, since all his subordinates died in Wang's Villa, he alone can't make waves." ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said: "It's better to be careful, Yuan Shao has passed away, his two sons are fighting fiercely now, and they are sending people to persuade Yuan Xi, hoping to get his support, if nothing else, just for the large number of dead soldiers cultivated by Yuan Xi when he was in Youzhou, these people did not participate in the counterinsurgency in Youzhou, but all disappeared, this time we eliminated their number is far from enough, once Yuan Xi escapes, it will inevitably rise again soon, and Luoyang will never have peace." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun looked at Xiao Liu and asked, "Can Dong Bai, who was let go, catch it again?" ”

Xiao Liu shook his head and replied: "When we raided the Wang family's villa, Dong Bai had already left, which has been confirmed by Wang Da, the new head of the Wang family, and Wang Da has also heard of the dead soldiers mentioned by the lord, but he does not know the location of these dead soldiers, only said that Yuan Xi let them sneak to Luoyang from Youzhou one by one, and it is likely to hide in the Hanoi area at present." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said, "Dong Bai should have been sent by Yuan Xi to Hanoi to contact these dead soldiers, it seems that we still have a tough battle to fight." ”

Xun Yun listened to Yuan Yun say so solemnly, and it was rare to see Yuan Yun so serious, and he couldn't help but feel that this matter was not simple, Yuan Xi was able to escape now, and he would definitely return to take revenge again, if he really let him succeed, even if he seriously injured Yuan Yun, it would greatly affect the construction speed of Luoyang.

After thinking about it, Xun Yun arched his hand and said: "I don't know if the Xun clan can help, but Yuan Hou said that it doesn't matter." ”

Yuan Yun frowned and said: "If Brother Changqian can say that Lord Xun Yu can be moved, let your father get the approval of the imperial court, and allow the defenders of Luoyang to enter the border of Hanoi to search, maybe we can find out this group of dead soldiers, which will not only solve the crisis in Luoyang, but also get rid of a big trouble for the imperial court by the way, killing two birds with one stone, but your father Xun Yu and several of them are worried about me coming nonsense, so this matter will definitely not work." ”

Xun Yun thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Yuan Hou doesn't have to worry, I just need to tell my father that I need to go to Hanoi to investigate, and then borrow some soldiers from Yuan Hou to escort them, as long as there are not some specific numbers, naturally I can take one or two thousand people across the border, as long as this matter does not involve Yuan Hou, I believe my father will not interrogate too much." ”

Yuan Yun glanced at Xun Yun in surprise, and then said apologetically: "Originally, this Yuan Xi came to assassinate me, and he didn't want to implicate Brother Changqian, which really made me feel guilty." ”

Xun Yun laughed, shook his hand and said: "Yuan Hou's words are wrong, you just said, since we are cooperating, we should be honest with each other, how can we implicate it, if something really happens to Yuan Hou, it will be a big deal, and it is not our Xun clan who will lose." ”

After speaking, Xun Yun flicked down his wide sleeves, then stood up and arched his hand and said: "This matter cannot be delayed, I will go to repair a letter with my father at this moment, I believe that there will be an edict from the imperial court soon, and then Yuan Hou only needs to appoint the soldiers, and then send someone to exterminate this group of dead soldiers." ”

Yuan Yun also hurriedly got up, saluted to the ground, and replied with a smile: "Brother Changqian, this matter really can't be delayed, count me Yuan Yun owing you a favor." ”

Xun Yun smiled again, and then left.

After Xun Yun left the Yuan Mansion, Xiao Liucai looked at Yuan Yun in surprise and said, "Lord, a little Yuan Xi, we don't have to make such a big move, right?" Even sending troops to Hanoi is a big battle. ”

Yuan Yun leisurely picked up the teacup, then took a comfortable sip, and then replied lazily: "Who said that your father-in-law is going to deal with Yuan Xi?" Lao Tzu asked for this imperial edict in order to deal with Cao Ren, now the four northern states will soon be all taken by Cao Sikong, Cao Ren took Hanoi as his own back garden, we will transport grain from Zhongshan in the future to make a detour to Guandu, and then transport it to Luoyang by big boat, it is simply time-consuming and laborious, this time there is such an opportunity to make good use of it, and so I led the troops to Hanoi, I have to make the chickens and dogs jump there, Cao Ren could take our new city, Lao Tzu is going to take his Hanoi now. ”

Xiao Liu buckled the back of his head suspiciously, and then asked: "That lord just said that Yuan Xi has cultivated a large number of dead soldiers, all of which are tricks to deceive Xun Yun's son?" ”

Yuan Yun leisurely poured himself another cup of tea, and replied with a smile: "No, no, no, this group of dead soldiers cultivated by Yuan Xi does exist, Invincible has already investigated, and this group of people did go to Hanoi to hide, if there were no people, I really couldn't stir Hanoi, and Yuan Xi did me a great favor." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun continued to Xiao Liu: "Go and invite General Zhang Liao, just say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Xiao Liu made a promise, and regardless of the road that had been rushed all night last night, he immediately left Yuan's mansion and went straight to the school field in Luoyang City, and when he was on the way, he remembered Cao Cao's evaluation of Yuan Yun back then.

His lord Yuan Yun can always calculate everything in an instant, and after he entered the tea room just now and said that Yuan Xi escaped, this lord must have thought about these things before and after at that time.

And seized the opportunity, with the presence of Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yun, just to tell Yuan Xi to flee to Hanoi, as long as Xun Yun came forward, the court would never think that it was him Yuan Yun who was doing something, it is estimated that when the old officials in the court reacted, the Hanoi County controlled by Cao Ren had become the meal of the lord Yuan Yun.

In an instant, the lord Yuan Yun thought about it so much, he couldn't do it without admiration, anyway, Xiao Liu felt that he would definitely not be able to do it.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao rushed to Yuan's mansion, accompanied by Jia Xu, and the three of them sat in Yuan Yun's study, at this time, on the table in front of them, there was a sandbox with a lot of capital, of which the terrain was Hanoi County that Yuan Yun had just drawn.

Zhang Liao only glanced at it, and then he chuckled in his heart, already understanding what Yuan Yun was planning to do.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Liao kindly reminded: "Yuan Hou, Hanoi County is Cao Ren in charge, if we lead the army across the border, we will definitely be impeached, which will be greatly detrimental to the construction of Luoyang." ”

Yuan Yun was still carefully observing the terrain in the sandbox, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with some of the units of measurement, so he kept measuring with a ruler, and continued Zhang Liao's words in his mouth: "Yuan Xi has escaped into Hanoi County, and it has been confirmed by my spies that there are a large number of Yuan Xi's dead people hiding, and this force must be exterminated." ”

Zhang Liao was still a little dazed, glanced at the sandbox again, and then said: "If it is just to deal with these dead soldiers of Yuan Xi, we can release a large number of scouts at the border, and once the enemy is found, we can take encirclement and suppression, and there is no need to take cross-border actions at all, so that the imperial court will not blame." ”

Yuan Yun threw away the ruler in his hand, didn't say anything more Yuan Xi, but pointed to the sandbox with a smile and said: "Hanoi County has completely become a den of thieves under the management of Cao Ren's goods, and several powerful bandits have been produced in Hanoi County everywhere, these people occupy the mountains as kings, and then plunder everywhere, their range of activities has reached as far as our Luoyang territory, if we let it go, this is the biggest damage to Luoyang." ”

Jia Xu didn't seem to have any intention of comforting Yuan Yun, and when he heard Yuan Yun say this, he just stroked his beard and smiled, without any words of objection in his mouth, and there was even some approval on his face.

Yuan Yun glanced at Jia Xu, a smart man, smiled slightly, and continued: "So I asked General Zhang to lead the army into Hanoi County, not to target any Yuan Xi's dead soldiers, but these bandits, these people are the focus of our extermination. ”

Zhang Liao frowned and puzzled: "Let Cao Ren and them do a good job of crusading against the bandits, why should we do anything for them, if Yuan Hou is worried that these bandits will harm Luoyang, we will prevent Yuan Xi from dying at the same time, and exterminate these bandits who entered the country together." ”

Yuan Yun narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't really care about whether to kill these bandits or not, what I care about is the cottage of these guys, now that the army is in chaos, these bandits must be very rich, if we don't make a lot of money from them, I'm really sorry for their past labor." ”

Zhang Liao's face was full of astonishment, and he exclaimed: "Yuan Hou is planning to let me rob the cottage of these bandits?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Liao suddenly found that his words were very sick, the other party was a bandit, and he was a regular army, and the word robbery was very inappropriate.

Yuan Yun laughed and said, "General Zhang is right, we are going to rob these cottages, and we won't leave any of them behind, haha." ”

Jia Xu on the side interjected at this moment: "I'm afraid Yuan Hou's intention is not only that, why don't you say it directly, lest General Zhang be even more surprised later." ”

Yuan Yun glanced at Jia Xu, and his heart was really a poisoner, and his little caution couldn't escape this person's eyes at all, so he suppressed the evil smile a little, and then said: "After General Zhang enters Hanoi County, he will start to exterminate these cottages on a large scale, but don't kill them all, just drive them away."

My brother Invincible has already installed some beggar gang men in these cottages, and these people will encourage the bandits to gradually unite, and when they have gathered enough strength, I will drive them to the border between Hanoi and Bingzhou, once this force has been entrenched there for a long time, Cao Ren and Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan will not be able to sleep peacefully. ”

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, and also nodded: "In this way, Luoyang will become safer, Cao Ren will no longer have the heart to provoke us, and at the same time, he will also suppress Yuan Shao's old forces, Yuan Hou is indeed a clever plan, but our defenders of Luoyang want to cross the border, or need an edict from the imperial court." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "There are already people who are willing to take the lead for us in this matter, I believe that soon there will be official documents sent by the imperial court, we are a legitimate cross-border, and we will definitely not leave a handle on people." ”

Zhang Liao looked confused, he didn't know who would be willing to ask the imperial court for an edict for them, after all, Yuan Yun's name has become a serious taboo among those old officials in the imperial court, but whenever he asks, these old officials always have to study and study, and if they really don't know the reason, they will all be suppressed, and it is really impossible to get the edict in a few days.

However, since Yuan Yun has been so assured, Zhang Liao is no longer entangled, but a little eager to try, after all, he is leading an incomparably powerful army, and he has been practicing in Luoyang City, which is indeed very discouraged, and there is naturally no complaint if there is a battle to fight.
