Chapter 1087 Wuhuan recruits Yuan Xi as his son-in-law(1/2)
Zhen Mi suddenly felt anxious. She didn't care about anything at the moment, so she immediately put on the scarf and went to the back room.
"Hahaha..." The envoy came in with a smile and saw Yuan Xi and said: "Congratulations, general, there will be great joy soon."
Yuan Xi was puzzled and said: "Xi is a homeless person who has taken refuge. How can he be happy about it?!"
The envoy smiled and said: "The Great Khan has a beloved daughter who is eighteen years old. She is very young. The Great Khan wants to recruit the general as his son-in-law. From now on, the father-in-law will be able to take back the Yuan family's inheritance. General, if we have all the Wuhuan tribes,
With full assistance, the Yuan family’s foundation will be obtained within the year. Isn’t this a happy event?!”
Yuan Xi was stunned, his expression a little stiff.
Zhen Mi listened from behind, her face stiffened, and she was shaking with anger.
"What?! The general is not happy?!" The envoy observed his face and said: "Is it possible that he is hesitant about the Khan's beloved daughter? The general can rest assured. If she is not a beautiful woman, how can she dare to match the general?! Is it because of my Wuhuan's strength?
No confidence?! This is even more reassuring. From now on, our troops in Wuhuan will only listen to the orders of the general and the Khan. We and our son-in-law will work together and the battle south will be easy!"
Yuan Xi did not dare to show a bad look anymore, adjusted his position, and thanked him hurriedly: "The Khan values him, and I am willing to match my beloved daughter. Xi missed it endlessly, but she didn't expect that the Khan would be willing to give it up. Xi is homeless.
For fear of neglecting the princess, why not let Xi prepare a little before marrying the princess, okay?!"
"Now, everyone is very happy. Congratulations to General Yuan. By winning the beloved daughter of my Wuhuan Khan, you have gained the strength of my Wuhuan army. With my help, Wuhuan will escort the general south in the future and gain Yuan Benchu's inheritance."
, at that time, he will be the lord of the four states, the princess will be his wife, and the khan will be the prince, and they will rule the four states together. How dare the other princes make an inch forward?!" The envoy laughed.
Yuan Xi had a happy look on his face, but he was laughing in his heart. How can you people be involved in the affairs of the Central Plains? What else is there to say about rule?
He tried hard to maintain a smile, but his inner vigilance had risen to the extreme.
After the envoy left, Zhen Mi cried: "The general is about to welcome his new wife, where will my concubine go?! Someone will definitely take her."
"Where is the new lady?!" Yuan Xi said: "You are not asking me to marry his daughter, you are trying to control me. Xi, how can you be slaughtered and played by this foreigner?!"
Seeing that Zhen Mi had stopped crying, Yuan Xi paced back and forth, very anxious, and said: "There must be experts in Wuhuan who can give advice. This is to imitate Cao Cao in giving orders on behalf of the emperor. Now I am the son-in-law. I seem to be in a good position, but I am."
Borrowing their light, in fact, over time, I became even more bleak than the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although the Emperor of the Han Dynasty suffered humiliation, it would not go too far after all. There is still some glory on the surface. But who are the Wuhuan people?! With the
I am no different from a wild beast. After devouring my husband's family's property and using it up, he will abandon me like an ox and a horse and kill him in a matter of seconds. Although Xi is incompetent, he can die, but he never wants to be manipulated to this point and become a plaything.
Xi is from the Central Plains, and more importantly, from the Yuan family. He can be defeated, die, and escape. However, he is never willing to be reduced to a situation inferior to that of a prostitute. From now on, he will depend on others to survive. What kind of male hero can he be?!"
"General, I cannot refuse this marriage," Zhen Mi said.
If you refuse, there will be great disaster.
Yuan Xidao: "The country cannot have two monarchs coexisting, and a husband cannot have two wives. If the princess comes, I will kill you first."
"It's okay for me to die..." Zhen Mi said sadly: "I'm just being slaughtered like this, how can I ever get ahead?!"
Yuan Xi sneered and said: "There is no chance of success. Killing you is just to scare me. They have achieved their goal so that they can serve the princess like a plaything. It is just a slow knife cutting the flesh, and you will die early and die later. Instead of suffering
It is better to run away than to die in humiliation! Even if he can't do it, Xi will die without regrets. Mi'er..."
"I will follow you through life and death!" Zhen Mi said: "Rather than fall here and be used by beasts, it is better to escape with all your might!"
"Okay!" Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and said, "But where can we go?!"
Zhen Mi said: "General, yesterday, I saw a letter in the bedroom. It was signed by Sima Yi. He is from Xuzhou. The letter said that he would help the general leave Wuhuan."
Yuan Xi was taken aback and looked hesitant, saying: "Is it credible?!"
"I don't know. It was because I didn't know and I was afraid of being deceived that I didn't tell the general. I was also afraid that it was Wu Huan's plan. Logically speaking, Sima Yi should not have reached out to Wu Huan..." Zhen Mi said hesitantly: "
The general took the initiative to help this person, but hesitated?!"
"How could it be that Sima Yi had no agenda? What he was planning was just like Wuhuan. How could Xi do anything to that thief Lu Bu?!" When Yuan Xi mentioned Lu Bu, he was in a bad mood!
He simply did not believe that Sima Yi had no agenda.
Zhen Mi said: "The letter said that I couldn't bear to see Yuan Benchu's son become a prisoner in Wuhuan and a lackey of the Central Plains. Therefore, I devoted myself to rescuing him to save the four states from danger. I had no plan. After the general was out of trouble, he went
He didn't care where he was going, and he would not repay favors or threats. He said it was not for the general, but the Sima family and the Yuan family were both Han officials. How could they sit back and watch being humiliated by foreigners and ignore it. It was not to help the general.
, but to help the Central Plains!"
When Yuan Xi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It would be better if he really doesn't ask for anything in return. I'm afraid he is also a thief. That's all. I'll accept this favor from him."
In the final analysis, although Sima Yi cannot be trusted, the attitudes of the Sima family and the Yuan family are the same when it comes to foreigners.
Marrying with foreigners is one thing, but being used as a lackey captive is another thing.
Yuan Xi didn't expect Wu Huan to move so quickly, or maybe because Cao Cao and Lu Bu had gone to Xudu, they saw an opportunity and would move so quickly.
It was so crazy that all the plans came to nothing.
This is not taking in at all, this is clearly draining all the value out of him.
Instead of doing this, I might as well owe that Sima Yi a favor.
Yuan Xi figured it out quickly, so he took Sima Yi's letter and read it, and then wrote back, saying: "How can I contact him?!"
"If you don't leave it in the mailbox, someone might come and pick it up!" Zhen Mi said.
Yuan Xidao: "Let's give it a try."
Zhen Mi nodded and quickly returned to the back house.
After arriving in Wuhuan, the Khan gave them a house imitating the Central Plains to live in. Then he arranged all Yuan Xi's men outside the house so that they could not easily communicate with each other.
This is a kind of control.
This is not the first time Zhen Mi has contacted Sima Yi. It is precisely because Zhen Mi can persuade Sima Yi that he always starts with her. The persuasion in this letter has never been less.
In fact, Zhen Mi had already been tempted, because there was no place for her in the world, and she wanted Yuan Xi to defect to Xuzhou. Although Lu Bu was rude to her at first, and his eyes were so clear that it was very unpleasant, but at that time he took advantage of her.
Yecheng was the only one in power, and he didn't do anything to her. It hadn't happened before, and it was even less likely to happen in the future. No matter what Lu Bu thought, Zhen Mi felt relieved because of this!
Rather than wandering around, having nowhere to stay, and being constantly remembered, it is better to follow a powerful lord.
As for Cao Cao, she had never thought about it. It was not that her beauty was remembered, but that Cao Cao himself was the one who forced Yuan Shao to death. She knew that Yuan Xi would never surrender to Cao Cao.
She also knew that it would be impossible for Yuan Xi to accept surrender to Lu Bu before the time came.
Therefore, she kept in contact with Sima Yi, but did not formally persuade Yuan Xi at all, because she knew that Yuan Xi would not agree until the time came. Rather than losing the general's heart, it was better to wait patiently.
Since Liu's death, Zhen Mi knew that it was impossible for Yuan Shang to go back. Didn't Yuan Shang hate what happened in Youzhou and Liu's death? He didn't blame himself for being incompetent, but only blamed his brothers for not helping. Some
People are like that, disgusting.
And where is there any good place to go to Yuan Tan?!
You can't go either. Yuan Tan is definitely not someone who can tolerate his brothers. It would be fine if Yuan Xi still guards Youzhou. Now Youzhou is lost because they escaped and attracted Wuhuan's troops. Who can
Do you know what Yuan Tan will do?!
So, where else to go besides Xuzhou?!
This is the only way.
Fortunately, Zhen Mi was cautious and did not categorically refuse contact with Sima Yi. She was just afraid that when she was desperate, she would not even have a way out.
Now she is even a little lucky that she persisted. Otherwise, she and Yuan Xi would have reached a dead end.
In any case, let’s not mention the matter of defecting to Xuzhou. Let Yuan Xi accept the favor first and leave this land of tigers and wolves, and then look at the arrangements after arriving in the Central Plains.
When the time came, especially when Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were defeated or failed, Yuan Xi saw that they had accomplished nothing, so he naturally accepted their fate.
At that time, she urged her husband to surrender, so it was no big deal.
As long as they don't use them as husband and wife, as long as they surrender, there is nothing to lower their heads. Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao is still alive and well. He has also received the title of marquis, and has the responsibility of General Funan, and can still lead the army to defend the south.
It’s sworn brother Lu Xian again.
Although there must be some political considerations in this, it is also human nature.
Although it is a tactic to win people's hearts, it is much smarter than recruiting a son-in-law, and it is not as disgusting as this.
This is something Zhen Mi has been thinking about since she returned to Youzhou, especially after she fled to Wuhuan. The world is so big that Xuzhou is the only place where she can stay and avoid death. Otherwise, there will only be a dead end elsewhere.
.
If you don’t want to be exploited, you have to take the initiative to plan.
At least there is no need to worry, Lu Bu will never marry his daughter to Yuan Xi.
For Lu Xian, he treasured her very much. Even the emperor asked to marry him, and Cao Cao asked to marry him as his daughter-in-law, but they were both rejected. Lu Bu didn't even look down on these, let alone Yuan Xi.
Zhen Mi didn't know much about heirs, but she vaguely knew in her heart how important Lu Xian was to Xuzhou, and Lu Bu wanted her to train her as his heir.
So, whether she can succeed or not is one thing, she doesn't understand. She only knows that even if Lu Xian is in power, there is no shortage of young talents in Xuzhou. I heard that Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Zang Ba and the like are all of the same age, so why should she bother?
Looking for Yuan Xi, I can't even think about it...
It is said that if Qi Dafei is really attracted to her, he will not be able to tolerate her alive.
Only Xuzhou can do it.
In Wuhuan, once a princess marries, she will either die or be taken away. To take is either to marry or to take away. You can imagine what the outcome will be. Can barbarians know how to respect women?!
p>
They don't even respect the custom that their wives can let their sons inherit their father's concubines. If she gets to this point, she might as well die.
And the situation really forced her to have this only way out.
To be continued...
