The coffin left Hulao Pass and passed through Fengqiu. Junyi finally arrived at Chenliu City before dusk. After resting for a night in Chen Liu, the group continued on their journey and passed Yong Qiu. Gaoyang Pavilion. Fugou. They entered Yanling of Yingchuan County and reached Xu County before sunset.
On the third day, he went south from Xu County, crossed Linying, crossed the Linying River, reached Zhaoling, passed Yinqiang, and finally reached Ruyang County, the hometown of the Yuan family in Runan County, before the sun set.
"Sir Sikong is back!"
"Quick, come forward and help!" A dense crowd gathered outside Ruyang City. These people were all members of the Yuan family's hometown. Seeing the coffin return to its hometown, he was instantly excited.
"Hu, this must be Benchu. I'm Yuan Xin, the elder of the Yuan family in Ruyang.”An old man in his fifties, wearing a white cloth on his head and mourning clothes, with a three-foot-long beard, slowly walked over with the help of two young clansmen.
"Elder Xin. Father…I'll leave him to you. On the day of his burial…I will send him off.”Yuan Shao cupped his fists and bowed to Yuan Xin.
"Benchu, my condolences." Yuan Xin saw Yuan Shao's disappointed expression and comforted him.
"Elder Xin. Sorry for being rude, can you arrange for me and my personal guards to rest?”Yuan Shao looked at his personal guards 'cowardly appearance and said somewhat unwillingly.
"Please! I've already prepared a room and food in the clan. Yuan Jiu, lead the way." Yuan Xin nodded and asked the young clansman beside him to lead the way.
"Young Master Yuan, please follow me." Yuan Jiu extended his hand respectfully.
"Dian Wei. Xu Chu, let's go." Finished talking, Yuan Shao followed.
Returning to the guest room that Yuan Xin had prepared for him, he saw that there were three tables in the room. There was also a screen made of yellow rosewood.
"Dian Wei, Xu Chu, have a seat. You must be hungry.”Yuan Shao walked straight into the room and sat in front of a table.
"Hey, I'm starving." Dian Wei didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down cross-legged, grabbed a roasted chicken, tore off a drumstick, and started to eat.
"Brother Dian, slow down.”Xu Chu sat down as well. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and chewed slowly.
Yuan Shao ate, but his mind was occupied with other things. The time was getting closer and closer. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he could only rush to the rescue before Dong Zhuo and become the Prefecture Overseer of a prefecture.
Several days later, Yuan Feng's coffin finally entered the ancestral grave of the Yuan Clan. Yuan Shao attended the ceremony one day and wrote a poem. Praise Yuan Feng's achievements.
During the burial, the Ruyang County Chief Guardian also sent people to offer condolences and gifts.
The next day, Yuan Shao received a letter from the Bohai Sea. Fang Xuanling wrote in the letter that Yuan Shao had successfully forged steel using the steel infusion method. The weapons and armor made were sharper than the original ones, and they were sturdy and resistant to hacking. Now, he could produce 1,000 catties of steel every month. In the letter, he mentioned that he had recruited 80,000 soldiers from Bohai Prefecture. There were 15,000 cavalry, 6,000 light cavalry, 9,000 cavalry archers, 30,000 light infantry, 5,000 heavy infantry, and the remaining 30,000 were navy soldiers. Zhou Tai trained day and night in Bohai Bay.
The letter also mentioned that Zhao Yun of Chang Mountain had been found and had been invited out of the mountain by Fang Xuanling to become the commander of the light cavalry. The infantry was led by Su Lie and trained every day, while Xu Da was in charge of the overall situation. The bronze medal system had already taken effect, and the entire army was wearing bronze medals. But the problem now was that no general could lead the cavalry archers?
In terms of government affairs, Du Ji managed Nanpi City in an orderly manner. He planned the wasteland, settled the people, and developed the business. With the help of Pei Xiong, the leader of the Pei family, Fang Qiao managed to gain a firm foothold in Bohai Prefecture. Together with Du Ji, they roped in a group of aristocrats who did not have a bad reputation. Then, they chose a few landlord tyrants to suppress them. Finally, they chose a few tyrants who were filled with evil to kill the chicken to show the monkeys. Bohai Prefecture was completely controlled by Fang Qiao and Du Ji.
At the end of the letter, Fang Qiao mentioned to Yuan Shao,""My lord, I hope that you can accept my grief and take care of your health. Qiao and the marquis looked forward to their lord's arrival.”
Closing the letter, Yuan Shao's heart could not calm down for a long time.
He was happy about the development of Bohai Sea, and he was also excited to get Zhao Zilong, who he liked the most in his previous life. Yuan Shao was assured of Fang Xuanling's ability. After all, he was the founder of Zhenguan's rule, and Li Shimin became the prime minister as soon as he ascended the throne.
Yuan Shao was also thinking about the problem. Who could be the general of the cavalry archers? Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng?
The first person that came to his mind was him, because Huang Zhong's archery skills were famous in the Three Kingdoms. However, Yuan Shao immediately rejected the idea. After all, he needed him to fight against Lu Bu when Dong Zhuo entered the capital. After all, the shadow of the tree. The person's name was Lu Bu.
Suddenly, Yuan Shao thought of a person. He was Taishi Ci, Donglai Taishi Ci! His archery skills were superb. Although he was avoiding disaster in Liaodong, he could send people out to look for him.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao immediately wiped the ink and spread out the bamboo slip. He picked up the brush and wrote down what he thought one by one. After the ink dried, he rolled it up and handed it to the personal guard beside him."Get on a fast horse and go to Nanpi immediately. Remember to hand this bamboo slip to Mr. Fang personally, understand?”
"Yes! My lord, please rest assured.”The personal guard cupped his fists and left.
"Ah! Oh right, how could I have forgotten about him? Zhongkang. Dian Wei, let's go to Runan." Yuan Shao suddenly thought of Chen Dao, who was famous for his loyalty and bravery. History Book "Three Kingdoms." Shu 15 "records: Uncle to the name, Runan people. He followed Liu Bei from Yuzhou. His reputation and status were often second only to Zhao Yun. He was famous for his loyalty and bravery. In the early years of Jianxing, the official went to Yongan Governor, General of the West, and was granted the title of Marquis Ting.
Conquering the south (Zhao Yun) is heavy, conquering the west (Chen Dao) is loyal, unified the selection of soldiers, fierce generals.
Since this person could be compared to Zhao Yun, he must have some ability. At the very least, he was a good general.
"I'm bored to death. Brother Dian, what about you?”Xu Chu said happily when he heard that.
"Me too. Staying here every day, my bones are about to go soft.”Dian Wei twisted his waist and stretched his legs, his entire body crackling.
"You guys, you've become like this after not going out for a day... Alright, go and get the horses.”Yuan Shao cursed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes!" Xu Chu cupped his fists and headed for the stable.
——
When Yuan Shao and the other two were leading their horses out of Ruyang County, they happened to bump into Elder Yuan Xin.
"Benchu, where are we going?"
"Elder, I originally wanted to go to Runan City to take a look and see if there was anything new.”Yuan Shao replied casually.
"Is that so…then take these silver coins. If you always use gold when you go out, it will be easy for thieves to target you.”Yuan Xin took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and placed them on Yuan Shao's palm.
"Then…thank you, Elder. Go!" Yuan Shao took a look at them and saw that they were both big and small. He put them into his sleeves, got on his horse, bid farewell to Yuan Xin, and rode away.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei also mounted Baishi and Xueqing respectively and caught up to Yuan Shao.
" Elder, you are…" The bystanders were somewhat puzzled.
"This child has great ambitions, and his future is not bright. Our Yuan family might have to rely on him…to continue.”Yuan Xin's hand tied up his long beard as he watched Yuan Shao's gradually disappearing figure in the cold wind and muttered to himself.
