Chapter 237 Gifts
Liu Yu was a famous politician at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After King Gong of Donghai, relatives of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and others once made him emperor. He had long been stationed in Youzhou, pursuing lenient politics and developing the economy, and advocated treating the tribes outside the border with a policy of softness. This is also the reason why Ke Bineng, Bu Dugen and others responded to their son's call.
Gongsun Zan used to belong to Liu Yu's subordinates. When he treated the northern nomadic peoples by force, the conflict between the two became increasingly fierce, and Liu Yu was eventually attacked and killed by Gongsun Zan.
Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, was once the attendant of the Han Dynasty. He was then detained by Yuan Shu when he served his son Liu Xie. Later, he fled and came to Hebei, but was detained by Yuan Shao. Therefore, in Liu He's heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with the domineering Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, and he had an irreconcilable hatred for the murder of his father's enemy Gongsun Zan. Later, Yuan Shao felt that Liu He was cowardly and useless, so he immediately abandoned him, and asked the other Liu Yu Fu to abide by Yuyang and no longer asked about it.
As for Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang, they had been in power in Liaodong for many years, attacking Goguryeo in the east, attacking Wuhuan in the west, expanding territory, recruiting talents, opening schools, recruiting refugees, and exerting overseas powers. They regarded themselves as the royal family of Liaodong. Now, Liaodong has been developing for many years, with strong troops and strong horses, and they have long been involved in Youzhou. However, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have great power, so they have never dared to act rashly.
Liu He was very cruel to Gongsun Zan and Yuan because of his father's death and his repeated detention. However, Gongsun and his son from Liaodong invaded the west for a long time. In the long run, it was not strange that the two sides colluded with each other.
Their first step was to collude with the three major Xianbei officials outside the Great Wall and instruct them to assassinate Gongsun Zan’s remaining son Gongsun Xu and blame Yuan to relieve Liu He’s ruthlessness.
Liu Yu adopted a policy of gentleness against the tribes outside the border, and had a deep sense of Xianbei. Now Liu He summoned him, and he was backed by Gongsun and his son from Liaodong. In addition, the Xianbei also was deeply afraid of the descendants of Yuan and Gongsun Zan. The three parties immediately colluded.
After the blame, the three parties immediately made the agreement to cut off the land of the Yuan clan in Hebei, and used the identity of Liu and the Han clan members as concealed. The clans outside the border were used as Ming tricks, and the father and son of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong were the responses. They took advantage of the battle between Yuan and Cao and had no time to look north. They made trouble and intended to get involved in Youzhou. They did not expect that by mistake, they were discovered by Yuan Shang and Cao and took action in a timely manner.
After listening to Xiahou Yuan’s remarks and analysis, Yuan Shang and others fell into silence, while Zhao Yun clenched his fists tightly, turned his head to the northeast with anger, and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Liu He, Gongsun, you and others are doing this assassination and slandering villain. If I don’t kill you, how can I comfort Gongsun Xu’s spirit in heaven?!"
Zhang Liao coughed gently and said, "Liaodong is located in a remote place, and it is not our ability to deal with the east of Youzhou. I am afraid that only you, Yuan, can do it yourself, and we cannot interfere in the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the north of the Mobei. We can help you solve the problem. You don't have to worry!"
Yuan Shang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. The land of Liaodong is remote, and only the land of Youzhou can go straight to the top. If Cao's army wants to help his attack, it will have to pass through his own territory. To be honest, let alone Cao cāo is unwilling to take such risks. Even if he is willing, he will never let these fierce enemy soldiers and generals enter his territory.
But then again, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in history eventually died in Liaodong. Now the feng shui turns, and Yuan Shang, who was reborn, has brought too much difference to this world. It is still unknown who will win the battle between the Yuan brothers and Liaodong.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang immediately ordered Zhao Yun to quickly rush back to Shuofang and send people to Youzhou to inform Yuan Xi of the army and food. After he finished packing up the grassland tribe, he immediately rushed to Youzhou and expeditioned the Gongsun clan in Liaodong.
Subsequently, the two sides discussed that the three major Xianbei tribes on the grassland were quelled by Yuan Shang, Xiahou Yuan and others, while the father and son of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong and Liu He were later destroyed by Yuan Shang.
After the general matter was agreed, there was nothing to discuss between the two sides, and there was an embarrassing silence in the tent.
Xiahou Yuan touched his beard and thought about it. He knew that he should talk to Yuan Shang, the little enemy. He had no choice but to ask Shanshan, and asked, "Jun'er, is it okay for you?"
Yuan Shang and Cao's generals had nothing to talk about, and said listlessly, "It's great, it's good, Juan'er is safe."
Xiahou Yuan nodded, then looked up at Cao Zhi, who was wearing a mask behind Yuan Shang, frowned, and said strangely: "Yuan Shang, who is the masked person behind you? Is it rude to have a face covered in this big tent?"
\”
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, frowned and looked at Cao Zhi, not understanding the purpose of his making up.
Xiahou Yuan frowned, looked at Cao Zhi carefully, and said in confusion: "Where did you hear your voice? What's your name?"
Cao Zhi shivered when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and murmured: "Xia Zi..."
"Xia Zi?" Xiahou Yuan's eyes flashed and he said, "You will take off the mask on your face!"
Cao Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "The war is unfair. If this priest takes off his mask, it will be unfavorable to the war... You must not take it off, you must not take it off."
"Nonsense!" Xiahou Yuan stood up coldly and walked towards Cao Zhi with big strides.
Cao Zhi was in a panic, but he saw Yuan Shang suddenly stand up and said to Xiahou Yuan: "General Xiahou, it's too much. Xia Zi is my subordinate. How can he act on weekdays? Whether he can't take off his mask has nothing to do with you, right?"
Xiahou Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but saw Zhang Liao coughing gently behind him and said, "General Xiahou, don't have disputes over some unreasonable trivial matters, which will hinder the alliance plan of the two armies. The most urgent task is to choose a day to send troops and eliminate the bandits in the northern desert. This is the best strategy."
Xiahou Yuan was suffocated when he heard this, and then glanced at Cao Zhi in a dark way. He bowed to Yuan Shang and said, "We will go back to the camp to prepare to rectify the troops and horses in order to fight in the future... Say goodbye."
Yuan Shang waved his hand slightly and smiled, "I won't give it to you."
After a little unhappiness, Yuan and Cao went back to the camp of the left and right wise kings of the Xiongnu to rest. After Yuan Shang returned to the camp where he was resting, he immediately found Zhao Yun and told him: "Brother Zilong, please stare at Xia Zi carefully these days. I always feel that this kid is a bit unusual."
Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this: "What's unusual?"
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "I can't say it well, but what is certain is that he must have something to do with Cao Jun... In short, just look more tight."
Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this and said, "It's up to you... By the way. Just now, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu made an arrangement. He led his people to surrender and presented gifts, hoping to resolve the war with us and live in peace from now on. The two will not invade each other!"
Yuan Shang laughed and shook his head and said, "These Xiongnu people were beaten to the door of their homes and remembered to come to peace talks. What have they been doing? What gifts did they send? Cattle, sheep, horses, gold foil, or weapons?"
Zhao Yun shook his head gently and said, "I don't know what kind of gift it is. The headed Huns just said that this gift is very precious and cannot be seen by others. They can only be delivered to your tent alone."
Yuan Shang was happy when he heard this, shook his head and said, "It's quite mysterious to play. Forget it, you can just send any gifts to them. You can go and do your job first."
Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this, then turned around and walked out of the tent.
Yuan Shang sat on the soft fur, crossed his legs, touched his chin and began to think carefully. These Huns gave gifts so mysterious that they would not be seen by others. They had to present them alone. What a valuable treasure?
Could it be deer antler? Coral? Pearl? Gemstone?
Yuan Shang rubbed his hands gently, showing a longing look, and his handsome face was covered with the strong greed unique to business people.
“Swishy.”
Outside the tent, a gentle sound of footsteps sounded, Yuan Shang thought to himself, "Good, come, and then turned around and looked over."
But at the door of the tent, a charming woman wearing blue alien costumes and a bell plate walked into the camp with a sad face.
Looking at her, she seemed to be nearly thirty years old. Although she was no longer young, her body, including the water-colored gown, showed a concave and mature flavor under the sunlight outside the tent. Her elegant face was very beautiful, and it was not too much to describe it in the word "beautiful". Her pale face and empty eyes showed that she had experienced unusual vicissitudes. Although her face was plain, she had a hidden despair. With her mature charm, all men could not control their desires. She wanted to pull her over, hug her in her arms, ravage and humiliate her, and ride under her crotch and gallop freely.
This is the mysterious gift given to Yuan Shang by the Huns!
Yuan Shang stared at her blankly, his face calm, as if he didn't know what he was thinking.
When he was young, he saw him take big steps, step by step, step by step towards the woman. Looking at the woman's beautiful face and body full of mature charm, Yuan Shang's breathing began to gradually become rapid. As he walked, he slowly raised his hands and grabbed the tall peaks on the woman's chest.
The woman closed her eyes and a bleak smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I have been hiding for so many years, suffering for so many years, and hiding for so many years, and covering up for so many years, but I can't escape the disaster of being insulted. Just because I am tired, what should come will come eventually, and I can't dodge it after all.
Two lines of cool tears rolled down the woman's cheeks.
The heavy breathing sound became heavier and heavier, almost rushing to his cheeks. The woman's body began to tremble slightly, and unprecedented great fear instantly filled his whole body.
But at this moment, the change suddenly broke out, and the wanton humiliation like a strong wind in the woman's imagination did not come. The man gasping at the opposite side suddenly changed his hand between his peaks, but he grabbed the collar of her clothes, almost lifted her up with such force.
The woman opened her eyes and saw the handsome man opposite her, with her eyes almost spitting out, staring at her cheek with gritted teeth, and her faces could be almost close to one.
"Where is my gift? Is it gold, pearls, or gems? Did you hide it? Ah? Bastard! Hand it over to me!"
