Yuan Xi also knew that he was like killing a chicken to get an egg when he forced Zhen like this.

How big is Zhen’s family?

As Yuan Xi's son of Yuan Shao, how could the Zhen family's son-in-law not know? But he had no choice. If Zhen did not support him, he would be over. Yuan Shao's knees, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were fighting fiercely. Yuan Shang was better, but Yuan Tan regarded Yuan Xi as a thorn in his eyes. The reason was very simple. Yuan Xi always adhered to neutrality, neither helping Yuan Tan nor Yuan Shang. He wanted to survive in the cracks, but sometimes, this was not easy to do. He wanted to not help each other, but in fact it was equivalent to offending both sides.

Think about it, all the strategists and generals under Yuan Shao began to take sides.

Except for a few old men who are highly respected or have followed Yuan Shao for a long time, even famous Yingchuan scholars like Xin Ping Xin Pi must choose their position. Yuan Xi is just a concubine's son, and he is not outstanding in terms of ability, and he is even less qualified than Xin Ping and others. In this case, what qualifications are you a concubine's son? You are not a concubine's son, but you have ulterior motives.

Yuan Shang treated Yuan Xi better, but Yuan Tan...

Now that Yuan Shao is defeated in Guandu, he is in a fit of anger.

Yuan Xi lost Youzhou. If he didn't show enough posture, how could Yuan Shao forgive him?

Although the Zhen family got married to him, Yuan Xi did not take it seriously. If he didn't force the Zhen family, would he force Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan? That was seeking death.

Anyway, the Zhen family and Yuan Xi have become grasshoppers on the same line. In Yuan Xi's opinion, he has no choice, and the Zhen family has no choice either.

Large carts slowly drove into the city of Peking. Zhen Yao and Zhen Xin came to Yuan Xi and bowed.

"Second Young Master, the grain and grass have been escorted here... It's just that time is too hasty, and the first batch of grain and grass is only 6,000 stones.

All the supplies and equipment are still being prepared. Before we set off, my mother asked us to ask the second son to be tolerant for a while, otherwise it would be difficult to collect all the items needed by the second son. In addition, my mother said that supplies such as big crossbows, catapults, and armor are not easy to escort, and they will take several days to deliver them."

Yuan Xi said quietly: "You don't have to be too polite for two brothers. I know my mother's difficulties, so it's not a big deal if I'm a few days late."

It has already entered November, and there is light snow floating in the sky.

Looking at the white city outside, Yuan Xi also felt a little bored.

Fortunately, the food and grass are delivered. There is no need to worry about food in a short period of time. This is finally a blessing in disgrace! If the food and grass keep up, the morale of the army will not shake. He still has more than 10,000 troops in his hand, and with the city of Beiping, he can always stabilize his position. After Yuan Shao returns to Hebei, the Han army will inevitably retreat. At that time, Yuan Xi will take the initiative. He doesn't believe that he can't take back Wuruan Pass and wash away the humiliation.

That night, Yuan Xi held a banquet in the government office to entertain Zhen Yao and Zhen Xin.

At the banquet, Zhen Xin seemed to ask casually: "Second Young Master, I heard that Mr. Yuan is going to return to Yecheng soon?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "I got the news two days ago. My father has returned to Liyang.

However, he was not in good health and fell ill after arriving in Liyang. He probably wouldn't return to Yecheng immediately. He was cunning and attacked the food road. Otherwise, how could this battle fail? Don't worry. After his father's health improves, he will not take long to fight Cao Cao again after returning to Yecheng."

Zhen Xin heard the news and narrowed his eyes.

He turned his head to look at Zhen Yao and nodded to Zhen Yao.

"By the way. How is Xiao Mi now?"

Yuan Xi was in a much better mood after getting food and grass. After three rounds of drinking, he couldn't help but ask.

Speaking of which, Yuan Xi does like Zhen Mi.

Not to mention that Zhen Mi is beautiful and has a good personality, gentle and virtuous person, and she definitely has the style of a lady from a noble family. She hasn't seen Zhen Mi for almost half a year, and Yuan Xi missed her very much.

Zhen Yao hurriedly said, "Fifth sister is very good. But the weather suddenly changed a few days ago, and it was a bit cold, so it felt a little uncomfortable."

"That's how..."

Yuan Xi said: "Let her rest over there."

He did not ask about Zhen Mi anymore, and he exchanged views with the Zhen brothers.

The cups were mixed, and soon Yuan Xi ate too much wine. With the help of two maids, he returned to the house to rest.

Zhen Yao and Zhen Xin also said goodbye and left. When they walked out of the government office, it was already late.

The snow is still falling, but the snow is not very strong.

After Zhen Yao and Zhen Xin looked at each other, Zhen Yao took the people back to the post station. After he returned to the post station, he ordered people to prepare drinks and then personally sent them to the city gate tower of Beiping, and used Yuan Xi's order to reward the defenders on the city tower.

No matter what, Zhen Yao is Yuan Xi’s brother-in-law.

He came to reward himself, which made the soldiers on the city gate tower feel flattered.

These days, they left Beiping City and were frightened and frightened when facing the Han army's repeated battles. It was so cold and it was snowing. There was wine and food to reward their stomachs. The Yuan army soldiers on the city naturally could not refuse. They thanked Zhen Yao repeatedly and received their own drinks.

Zhen Yao ordered people to stand by, and he accompanied the city gate guard to have wine in the city gate tower.

Time passes by little by little.

That Yuan Jiang also drank a lot of alcohol...

Suddenly, a series of shouts came from the city gate tower, "General, there is an enemy situation!"

When the city gate guard heard this, he stumbled out of the reel hole and climbed up the city tower along the way. Zhen Yao also followed the guard to the city tower and saw a Han army outside the city approaching quickly.

"Will the barbarians of Youzhou who are thieves be at peace?"

The Yuan general couldn't help but curse.

But before he could give the order, he saw a sudden fire in the city.

Yuan General was stunned and quickly shouted loudly: "Go and find out where the fire broke out."

Report to the second son immediately..."

"No, I know where the fire broke out."

Zhen Yao kept following Yuan General and drew out his sword.

The Yuan general was stunned and turned around suddenly. But before he could react, Zhen Yao took a step forward and stabbed him in the heart with a sword.

A bunch of warm blood squirted on Zhen Yao's face.

"Yuan Xi forced my Zhen family to be too much. Today, my Zhen family turned against him.

If you dare to move around, don’t blame me for being ruthless... People come, open the city gate for me, and Uncle Fang’s troops enter the city."

The entourages who followed Yuan Xi were all talented men carefully selected by the old lady from the Zhen family. They were very skilled in martial arts and were even more brave and good at fighting.

As soon as Zhen Yao took action, the gang of entourage pulled out their weapons and slashed and killed them.

Before the Yuan army and soldiers could wake up, Zhen Yao had already brought his men to the winch, turned the winch and opened the city gate.

Zhao Yun had already received notification from Tian Shi. Seeing that the city gate opened, he led his troops into the city without saying a word...

"I am Zhao Yun, Changshan. Who dares to stop me?"

Zhao Yun shouted loudly immediately, but the Yuan army soldiers dodged one after another.

In the battle in Yanxiang, Zhao Yun's horse stepped onto the camp, which scared the Yuan army soldiers. Now Zhao Zilong entered the city again, and a group of defeated generals. Who dared to come forward to stop it?

"Second Young Master, see who I am."

The leader shouted in a deep voice, Yuan Xi looked intently and said in a lost voice: "Brother Xin?"
