Chapter 697: The Liu Clan Interferes in Politics
Squeak~~
The cell door was opened, and a sergeant held a document and said, "Feng Ming Gong order, pass Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!" ”
"Come out! Hurry up and come out! ”
The noble sons of the past, no different from other prisoners at this time, were kicked out of the prison like pigs and dogs.
"Big brother... This... Are you going to kill us? ”
"Xianyi! You are a descendant of the Yuan family, and you can't lose the face of your ancestors in front of outsiders! ”
Yuan Tan's scolding made Yuan Xi grit his teeth and stop making a sound, and followed Yuan Tan to the outside of the cell.
At this time, except for some blood stains that could not be cleaned, there was no trace of the former Yuan army.
A team of expeditionary troops marched on the city wall of Huguan, and Yuan Tan looked at all this, only feeling extremely magical.
"Ming Gong! Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi brought! ”
"Oh, here, Xiansi, Xianyi, come here." Ma Qiang sat in the house, saw the two, and beckoned the two to sit down.
Ma Qiang sighed, looked at the two of them and asked, "In terms of seniority, I am also your uncle, originally and I, both Hanchen, had no personal enmity, and now it is also a matter of the world."
Many people have persuaded me to kill you, what do you think? ”
Yuan Tan looked at the map behind Ma Qiang, and the two arrows on the map, one from Huguan and the other from Zhongshan, both pointed to Taiyuan.
And Yuan Xi didn't know if it was the reason why he had been scolded by Yuan Tan before, and at this time, he sat in his position without saying a word, which was very different from the way he cried in prison just now.
"My father died in shame after being defeated, and he couldn't complain, if the general was worried that we would avenge my father in the future, he would kill him, if he didn't worry, he could let my brother go back to Taiyuan.
As for the annexation of the state, it is the county of Dahanzhou, and the imperial court has asked the general to supervise the military administration of the state, and the state should obey the general's order. ”
Yuan Tan's words made Ma Qiang laugh.
Want to go home?
That's right, then go home!
"You're right, and that's what I mean!" Ma Qiang said with a smile, "You are the eldest son of Yuan Shao, and you have passed on to Yuan Ji, you are the heir of the Yuan family, and you should have a famous lord in your body."
I have already written the text, I will play the Son of Heaven, canonize you as the Marquis of Changping Pavilion, the county guard of Taiyuan! ”
As he spoke, Ma Qiang handed the written document to the sergeant to Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan couldn't help but breathe quickly when he saw the bright red seal of the general of Zhengbei.
And Yuan Xi looked a little red.
Yuan Tan has passed on to Yuan Ji, and he is Yuan Shao's eldest son, so why is there nothing.
Ma Qiang seemed to see Yuan Xi's thoughts, and continued, "Yuan Xi, you are the first son of Benben, when you inherit the original will, I will show you to be the assassin of Bingzhou, and I hope that you two brothers will work together to guard the border for the Han Dynasty!" ”
An official hat was thrown out, and Yuan Xi pounced on it with a whin, and thanked him on the spot, "Thank you, General!" In the future, if the great general is sent, he will die in his humble position! ”
Hehe, Ma Qiang doesn't believe this nonsense.
Ma Qiang said to the two again, "As long as the sergeants I captured are willing to follow the two of you, they can take them away, and I will also give you all the ordnance and grain and grass back to Taiyuan, and I am afraid that the road will be blocked, so I will help you make two first, and it will not be too late to change the official documents of the imperial court, you can go down and wash up quickly, and prepare to go back to Taiyuan." ”
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi only felt that they were dreaming, and when they saw Xu You, Gao Gan and more than 2,000 soldiers outside the city, they were sure that it was true.
"Mr. Xu, are you alone? What about Mr. Fu? And what about General Yan and General Wen? ”
Yuan Tan couldn't help but wonder when he saw Xu You.
Xu You sighed and said, "Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, not to mention the high-ranking officials, he is frustrated that he is originally from Jizhou, and the general has gone, he just wants to go back to Jizhou and join under the command of Ma Ziyu, where is he willing to follow the two sons."
As for the two generals Yan and Wen, the same is true, they are all from Jizhou! ”
Xu You's words were very convincing, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were convinced, the two scolded a few words, did not dare to stay, and hurriedly went to Taiyuan with more than 2,000 soldiers with Gao Gan.
Due to Ma Qiang's advance notice, although the Northern Army felt strange along the way, they did not embarrass the team with the banner of the Yuan Army, when Yuan Tan came to Xiangyuan, the local defenders almost thought it was a camouflage plan of the Northern Army, until Yuan Tan and others appeared, they dared to be sure that this was really their own team.
At this time, Yuan Tan and others knew that Yuan Shang had been appointed as a state pastor by Guo Tu and others.
Yuan Tan couldn't help but look at Yuan Xi with a strange face, there was already a merge state pastor, so naturally there shouldn't be another merge state assassin history.
"Big brother! Old and young, he doesn't understand anything, what state pastor can he be, you and I are brothers, you have to help me, when the time comes, you and my brothers will govern and merge the state, maybe one day I can avenge my father! ”
Yuan Shang's mother, Liu, was Yuan Shao's stepwife, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were born to his ex-wife.
Although Yuan Tan didn't dare to think about avenging his father, he was really unwilling to let him succumb to Yuan Shang.
At this time, Yuan Shang was still an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and he really had no commendable advantages except for his beautiful mother.
After all, although he is already an orphan, he is not from the starting orphanage.
"Now that the third child is in power, Ma Ziyu is heavily armed, our brothers can't have contradictions, everything will be settled and the state will be won, let's go back to Taiyuan as soon as possible." Yuan Tan still knew the general situation, and did not immediately decide to turn his back, but thought about the overall situation.
In later generations, because of Lao Luo's rough description of the situation in Hebei after the Battle of Guandu, many people thought that as soon as Yuan Shao died, the three Yuan brothers began to kill each other, in fact, the three of them also united to resist Cao, and won several victories, but only because of the discord between Feng Ji and Xin Ping and Guo Tu under his command, this began to turn against each other under the provocation of the strategists on both sides, and finally became enemies.
The news that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were released back entered Taiyuan City with Pegasus, and Yuan Shang learned that the two brothers had been released, and he was smiling happily, but his mother shouted "Idiot!" Someone else wants to take away your family business and kill your mother, but you are still laughing! ”
Yuan Shang was startled, looked at his mother Liu a little timidly, and asked, "Mother, why do you say that?" ”
"Didn't you hear what the sergeant just said? Then Yuan Tan claims to be the county guard of Taiyuan, and Yuan Xi claims to be the assassin of the state, so what are you, the pastor of the state?
Guo Tu was already on good terms with Yuan Tan, as soon as he came, Guo Tu would inevitably lead the troops to mutiny, you are happy for him to come back, but he may not be able to tolerate you, my mother and son! ”
Yuan Shang was indeed young, but growing up in a family like Yuan's, some simple political truths were still understood, and he was suddenly afraid.
"Mother, what are we going to do?"
"Don't let your two brothers enter Taiyuan, isn't Ma Qiang attacking Bingzhou? You let them lead the troops to fight with Ma Qiang, and then let Su You, Li Fu and others seize the military power of Guo Tu and others, and lead the army to supervise the army behind, so that there will be nothing to do. ”
Yuan Shao's stepwife is naturally not a pure vase, Mrs. Liu is also from a family, she has never eaten pork, and she has seen pigs run, under the threat of her life, her idea is still good.
It's just that as soon as such an order came out, it was equivalent to completely tearing the skin between the three brothers.
