【Chapter 443】Yuan Erlang

After telling the whole story in detail, Chen Dao took a breath and added: "By the way, the Yuan Shao envoy who came to Zhen's mansion twice was named Feng Ji. According to Zhen, this person was a confidant counselor under Yuan Shao and was deeply trusted by Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan, is Feng Ji, a confidant adviser?"

After listening to Chen Dao’s story, Li Li frowned slightly and pondered.

Chen Dao thought that the lord Li Li had not heard of these two people, so he immediately reminded softly: "Yuan Xi's courtesy name is Xianyi, and he is about twenty years old. He is Yuan Shao's second son, and another brother is Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan. Both of these brothers were born to Yuan Shao's ex-wife, but their biological mother passed away very early. Then Yuan Shao married his current wife Liu and gave birth to his third son Yuan Shang.

Feng Ji was Yuan Shao's confidant counselor, with his name as Yuan Tu. According to Zhen, when Yuan Shao used a plan to earn Han Fu, it was Feng Ji's strategy to lure Gongsun Zan to lead troops to attack Jizhou, forcing Han Fu to panic. Then, under the instigation of Xun Chen, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, Han Fu gave way to Yuan Shao, urging Yuan Shao's troops to occupy the most populous and richest Jizhou in the world without bloodshed."

After saying everything he knew, Chen Dao didn't say much, then walked to Li Zhi, took the reins of the Hualiu Horse, and walked slowly.

After hearing Chen Dao's reminder, Li Li smiled and nodded to him in an expression of approval.

Indeed, if it weren't for Chen Dao's additional reminder, Li Li would really not remember who Feng Ji was, and he didn't know that Yuan Shao's easy occupation of Jizhou was caused by this person's advice.

As for Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, Li Li had some impression. Four years later, Zhen Mi married Yuan Xi, and he was also Zhen Mi's first man. He was also a man who had left his name in history because he married a beautiful and beautiful wife like Zhen Mi. Apart from that, Yuan Xi had almost no achievements, and was far less famous than his brother Yuan Tan and third brother Yuan Shang.

After remembering the source of Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, Li Li smiled disdainfully and said, "Yuan Shao borrowed grain from the Zhen family, but was angry because Zhen did not lend him the expected amount, so he sent his son Yuan Xi to lead troops to intimidate him. The father and son of the Yuan family are really amazing. He acted so domineeringly, and he really deserved to be a prominent family from four generations and three dukes. He bowed his head and borrowed food and wages from others so righteously. He really made me admire him!"

"Who said no!" Chen Daoshen continued with consent: "If the lord had not ordered the Mo Zong not to act rashly, three days ago, the Mo Zong wanted to lead the guard to intercept them all halfway. Let's see how arrogant he is to meet the old boy Ji!

Today, he was even more angry. Yuan Xi's son was more arrogant than Feng Ji. He was eccentric and unscrupulous. He even blocked the city without permission and brought the five hundred soldiers into the front yard of Zhen Mansion. When the boy entered the Zhen Mansion, he turned his head to the sky. When he saw several elders of the Zhen family, he didn't look at people directly. He raised his head and raised his chest, squinted his eyes and nodded, and he was done. That look was really annoying, with a face that deserved a beating, and he was owed to discipline!"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed in silence and said, "Uncle, don't be angry. I will give you this opportunity sooner or later, so that you can teach Yuan Xi a good lesson.

In fact, for the wealthy Zhen family, 50,000 stones of grain and grass and 30 million yuan are a drop in the bucket, and a small matter is a waste. The Zhen family does not have to use the treasury at all. They can collect the grain and salary directly from the grain store and shops in Changshan, and can be sent to Yuan Shao's military camp within two days. However, this kind of thing cannot be easily let go. Once this happens, if Yuan Shao borrows grain from the Zhen family every few days in the future, even if the Zhen family is rich in the world, they cannot withstand such endless forced borrowing, and there will be loans and no repayments. If this is true, within ten years, the Zhen family's old foundation will be completely scrapped by Yuan Shao. The great business accumulated by the Zhen family for generations will be destroyed. After the family is completely emptied, they can only rely on the Yuan family to live a life and become a small family that is not as good as the indifference.

However, it may be a good thing for us to lead Yuan Xi into Zhen’s mansion at the moment, and it will have unexpected results.

Before this, the Zhen family had not clearly expressed their support for me, and the elders of the Zhen family were unwilling to move the Zhen family's ancestral property to Chang'an. Now, the actions of Yuan Shao and his sons in this way will surely make the Zhen family clear their minds and let them truly know that having money and food in troubled times is tough, but it is not omnipotent. No matter how big the family business is without the protection of a strong army, it will sooner or later be plundered by the princes, and it will even bring a catastrophe to the Zhen family."

"This,,,,,,,," Chen Dao was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Actually, the Zhen family is very good to us. The Zhen family and the Zhen family are not bad people. They treat people sincerely and treat us very politely, and the Zhen family's ladies are even kind-hearted and kind-hearted good people. The lord may not know that after you left the Zhen family, although the Zhen family did not host a banquet like before, they also had big fish and meat every day, and there were also sharp pastries at night, without exception. For this reason, the soldiers were very grateful to the Zhen family. Today, they saw Yuan Xi and others rude to the Zhen family, and the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to rush forward to stand up for the Zhen family."

"Hahaha!" Li Li nodded with a smile and said with deep emotion: "My men in Xiliang are all passionate and passionate men. They have a strong sense of justice and cannot stand the bullying of women and elderly people. If they have a clear distinction between love and hate, and others are three-point good to him, they will take all their hearts to repay them. These excellent qualities are worthy of praise and affirmation, and must be passed on forever. However, as a soldier, especially my Li Li's personal soldiers, everything is based on obeying orders, and no one can disobey. This is unquestionable and not violated!"

While speaking, Li Li's voice paused, and then his tone suddenly changed, and he said calmly: "The Zhen family has a good reputation, treats people with sincerity, and is still kind-hearted. It can be called a conscientious official and business family. However, human relationships belong to human relationships, and important things must be treated objectively. You cannot act emotionally, and you will not be divided into public or private, and you will be confused.

What's more, the Zhen family is definitely not a weak family that can be bullied, otherwise he would not have developed such a large family property today. We have lived in the Zhen Mansion for so long. Has anyone been to the wing rooms on both sides of the Zhen Mansion's main courtyard? Who knows how many servants and how many dead soldiers are in the thousands of wing rooms of the Zhen family? Look at the maids in the Zhen family's twelve entrance halls, there are more than a thousand beautiful girls. It is not difficult to imagine how many large numbers of servants, guards, diners and dead soldiers in the Zhen Mansion are. Although I don't know how many family guardians the Zhen family has, I dare to assert that if the Zhen family does not have five thousand servants, even if I, Li Li, have been in vain for so many years!

With the huge ancestral home of the Zhen family, not to mention that Yuan Xi brought 1,500 soldiers, even if there were ten times more soldiers, the Zhen family would not be unable to resist, nor would they swallow their anger and allow others to bully them. Because of this, Zhen had long seen that Yuan Xi was bluffing, strong on the outside and do the middle, and brought a group of soldiers to fill the store. It was okay to scare the cowardly people in the Zhen family, but it was useless to the Zhen family and the elders of the Zhen family. Instead, it would make them feel angry and look down on the Yuan father and son even more.

So uncle doesn’t have to be angry. He should not only look at the surface when looking at anyone or things. He should also pay more attention to things hidden deep in the depths; he should not act arrogantly. He should be calm when encountering things and remain calm in the face of changes, so that he can show his spirit as a general!”

After listening to Li Li's words carefully, Chen Dao's cheeks flushed slightly and he lowered his head with some shame.

Obviously, he had realized that he was too impulsive, and what his lord Li Li said was indeed correct.

When Yuan Xi led his troops into Zhen’s mansion, Zhen did not even blink, and sat firmly as Mount Tai, and did not meet Yuan Xi at all. From this point of view, Zhen was clearly fearless and did not take Yuan Xi seriously, let alone take more than a thousand Yuan soldiers who blocked the city seriously.

"Uncle Zhi doesn't have to blame himself." When he noticed that Chen Zhi looked different, Li Li comforted him with a harmonious voice: "No matter who encounters such a thing, it is inevitable that he will make a mistake in judgment. Zicheng and I were also very nervous in front of the city gate just now, and I thought something big happened in the city. We were not completely relieved until we heard you tell the whole story. It was just a false alarm, which was not worth mentioning. By the way, where are we going and how to enter the city?"

"Uh?" Chen Dao was shocked and said anxiously: "Please forgive me for your sin. The general of Mo was distracted for a moment and forgot to tell the lord about where the secret door was. Walking forward a hundred steps further was the wall of Zhenfu Nanyuan, which was also part of the city wall of the south gate. There was a secret door under the wall, and there were several large locust trees in front of the door, which was extremely hidden. Moreover, there were no roads around here, and few people passed by here, so it looked very deserted, but in fact it was the back door of the Nanyuan of Zhenfu. Zhen had previously told the general that the city tower and the city wall on the south were funded by the Zhen family, so the city wall on the south was actually the wall of Zhenfu Nanyuan."

Li Li laughed in surprise and said, "Okay! The ancestors of the Zhen family are really amazing people. They have a long-term vision and are extremely courageous. They actually regard the city wall as their own wall, and they are just used today! Hahaha!"

———————————————————

With Chen Datou leading the way, Li Li and Li Zhi led their horses to Zhenfu Nanyuan with their mounts, and then handed over the war horse to Chen Dao, and went straight to the intermediate court to wash and rest.

As soon as they walked into the courtyard, six girls including Ma Yunluo, Zhen Jiang, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong and Zhen Mi came up and bowed.

"Misses are not giving gifts. They are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite in the future." With a smile, Li Li took off his dusty robe and handed it to Ma Yunluo, and asked casually: "Are Yuan Zhong and Fengxiao and others back?"

Ma Yunluo smiled sweetly and said, "They are not back yet, and my husband and General Zicheng are the first to return. The journey is bumpy, and I must be tired. I have someone boiled hot water in the morning. It has been hot several times, and now it is just right to use it. My husband is taking a little bath and then taking a shower and changing clothes. I have prepared brocade robes for you."

"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled happily and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Yunluo. How do you know that I will definitely come back today? What if I didn't come back today?"

Ma Yunluo smiled sweetly and said confidently: "My husband always does what he says and promises to return for half a month, that must be back today, otherwise it would be yesterday, and I will never return tomorrow. I believe this. Hi, haha!"

"Hahaha! Okay, no one knows a husband better than a wife. She deserves to be my Li Li's woman!" Li Li laughed happily.

Then he saw the slightly disappointed expression on the faces of Zhen Jiang and other four women, so he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, ladies, don't worry, both Yuanzhong and Fengxiao are scholars, and they can't bear it, so they will naturally be a few days later. Zicheng and I are both rough-skinned and fleshy. We are a martial artist, so we can travel hundreds of miles a day, so we came back earlier. But I promise you that there will be no accidents along the way and that we will definitely be able to return safely. You can rest assured."
