Chapter 174: The Yuan Brothers
Frustrated Zong, who was standing on the side, was immediately frightened into a cold sweat when he heard that Frustrated Teach was actually talking to Han Zhan in such an unkind tone. He stared at the two of them nervously, ready to persuade Han Zhan when he was angry.
However, what he didn't expect was that after listening to Fu Zhi's words, Han Zhan just smiled faintly, and then said: "Mr. Fu, if I protect Yuan Benchu as the assassin of Yanzhou, and at the same time return his two sons and the general Chun Yuqiong to him. Tell me, will he give up Yecheng because of this? ”
"What, what did you say?" When he heard Han Zhan say that Yuan Shao's two sons were now in Jizhou, he couldn't help but feel feverish, and he asked excitedly: "Is Tinghou saying that the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are not dead yet?" ”
"Yes," Han Zhan nodded, and said affirmatively, "The two of them are locked up in the prison of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and Ben Hou entertains them with good food and drink every day, and there is no lack of courtesy. ”
"Great, that's great." After confirming that the Yuan family brothers were not dead, he suddenly became excited: "When Yuan Benchu heard that his two sons died at the hands of the Tinghou, he immediately became angry and angry, and he used his Wei soldiers and horses to attack Guantao. It was because he dissuaded him from sending troops that he was sent to prison. ”
Han Zhan wanted to know the true opinion of Fu Zhu, so he asked respectfully: "Mr. Fu, tell me, if Ben Hou sends the Yuan family brothers back to Yecheng, then Yuan Benchu can agree to our conditions?" ”
"It's hard to say, but you can give it a try." What will Yuan Shao's reaction be to the Yuan brothers after they are sent back to Yecheng, at this moment, even if they are resourceful and frustrated, they are bottomless. "I wonder if the Pavilion Marquis can let me meet the two sons?"
"Yes." Han Zhan immediately agreed to the request made by the frustrated professor without hesitation: "If Mr. is willing, we can go to the prison together now and meet the Yuan brothers who are locked inside." ”
After following Han Zhan into the prison, he found that the environment here was much stronger than when he was in Yecheng. Yuan Tan, who was the first to see, lived in a single room, which was neatly cleaned up, and there were even drinks and dishes on several cases next to the couch. Yuan Tan, who was pouring himself a drink, was stunned at first when he saw Fu Zhu and Han Zhan walking into the cell, and then his face showed ecstasy. He put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and grabbed Frustration's arm, and said excitedly: "Frustrated Prison Army, why did you come here, did my father ask you to come here to redeem me?" ”
Frustrated Zhu gently broke free of Yuan Tan and bowed to him: "See the eldest prince!" After standing up straight, he continued, "Zhu is no longer Yuan Benchu's subordinate, and he came here to visit his son." ”
Hearing that Fu Zhu was no longer a subordinate of the Yuan family, and at this moment he followed Han Zhan to the prison to see him, even if Yuan Tan was a fool, he also understood in his heart that Fu Zhu had turned his back on the Yuan family and switched to Han Zhan. So he snorted heavily, then sat back down in front of the case, and said angrily: "Come and see what I have done, do you want to see my embarrassment today?" ”
"The eldest prince misunderstood," although Fu Zhu had already submitted to Han Zhan, because the time was too short, he still regarded himself as a member of the Yuan family from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, seeing Yuan Tan's unhappy expression, he hurriedly explained: "In the past, I returned to Yecheng with Yuan Gong, but I didn't get any news of the eldest son, and I thought that the eldest prince had encountered an accident. Yuan Gong even raised 100,000 troops because of this, and went to attack Guantao to avenge the two sons! ”
"What, in order to avenge me, my father actually raised 100,000 troops to attack Guantao?" Yuan Tan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what he said. After a while, he suddenly asked in surprise: "Mr. Fu, what did you just say, my father avenged the two sons, did the second brother suffer an accident?" ”
For Yuan Tan's question, Fu Zhu did not answer, but set his eyes on Han Zhan, waiting for him to answer Yuan Tan. Han Zhan saw the gaze that Fu Zhi threw at him, so he took the initiative to take two steps forward, and said to Yuan Tan: "Eldest prince, I haven't told you all along, in fact, my younger brother Yuan Xi is also locked up in this prison. ”
"Han Zhan," Yuan Tan stood up, pointed at Han Zhan with his finger, and asked angrily, "Since my brother has been locked up in this prison, why didn't you tell me about it?" ”、
Han Zhan sneered, then shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "Eldest Prince, it's no wonder to me, because you never asked me about it, so Ben Hou didn't say anything. ”
"You, you, you......!" Yuan Tan pointed at Han Zhan with his finger, so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Mr. Fu," Han Zhan didn't want to talk to Yuan Tan anymore, so he said to Fu Zhu, "Let's go see the second son now." ”
Soon, the two came to the cell where Yuan Xi was being held.
Yuan Xi was also happy when he saw Fu Zhi follow Han Zhan into his room. However, he opened his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say, he had just seen very clearly, and his respectful attitude towards Han Zhan was not at all like the envoy sent by his father, on the contrary, it was more appropriate to say that it was Han Zhan's subordinate.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, he asked, "Frustrated Prison Army, if I am not mistaken, you have already submitted to the Marquis of Zhangshui Pavilion, right?" ”
"The second son guessed correctly." When he heard this question, he couldn't help but blush, and then replied with some embarrassment: "Zhu has indeed surrendered to the Tinghou, and now he is the supervisor of Jizhou." ”
"That's it," Yuan Xi was about to be more open to the matter of frustration and submission to Han Zhan, he waved his hand and said: "My son understands that everyone has their own ambitions, and since the prison army has made such a decision, there must be reasons for you." Ben Gongzi will no longer ask about your troubles. ”
Han Zhan and the others chatted for a while, and suddenly said, "Second son, I plan to let one person go back to Yecheng." Between you and Brother Ling, you can only go back to one, I don't know if you want Brother Ling to go back, or do you want to go back? ”
Han Zhan's question was very insidious, he knew that with Yuan Xi's character, if he had the opportunity to return to Yecheng, he would definitely not stay again. But if Yuan Xi opens his mouth and says that he wants to go back, then he will put himself in the position of being unkind and unjust. Therefore, Yuan Xi did not speak for a long time after listening to this question. He didn't know why Han Zhan asked this question, and couldn't help but look at the two of them in confusion, not figuring out what state it was.
After a long time, Yuan Xi finally made a final decision. He smiled bitterly at Han Zhan, and then said, "Tinghou, I think even if this son doesn't say it, Tinghou also understands in his heart how this son thinks about it." ”
"That's right, Ben Hou understands what the second son is thinking. When Gongzi sent a letter to us from Jieqiao, informing him that the eldest prince was preparing to lead his troops to Jieqiao, Ben Hou knew that what the second prince wanted was the life of the eldest prince. After Han Zhan said this, he left Fu Zhi and Yuan Xi and strode outside.
When he walked out of the prison door, he left behind a sentence: "Second son, Ben Hou will give you a poem, and you will have a good understanding when you have time." Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other! ”
