"Xianyi," Yuan Tan unexpectedly did not call Yuan Xi the second brother, but called the other party's words: "What do you think of what the Han family child said in the hall today?" ”

Yuan Xi saw Yuan Tan speaking to himself in such a serious tone, and guessed what decision the other party must have made, so he said respectfully: "The younger brother is the only one who is the eldest brother, whether our two brothers go to the Bohai Sea or not, but the eldest brother is in charge." ”

"Since the second brother said so, we might as well think about it in the long run." Regarding Yuan Xi's attitude, Yuan Tan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Bohai County, it's not that you can't go. But now that it is the territory of Xianfu and Liu, if you and my brother rush there, they will inevitably be killed. ”

The two brothers of the Yuan family, if they talk about marching and fighting, Yuan Tan is naturally stronger; But when it comes to making a careful eye, it is Yuan Xi who is better. He knew very well in his heart that no matter how strong his ability was, as long as Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was there, many things could only be decided by the other party, so he could only say against his will that only Yuan Tan was the leader, but he had his own little abacus in his heart. Seeing that Yuan Tan did have plans to go to Bohai, he asked tentatively: "I don't know what the eldest brother wants?" ”

"Find Han Tinghou to borrow troops." Yuan Tan asked Han Zhan for help at this moment, and his title involuntarily changed from "Han Family Child" to "Han Tinghou", "If we can borrow thousands of soldiers and horses from others, when our brothers go to Beihai, we can sit back and relax." ”

Yuan Xi knew very well that if only he and Yuan Tan went to Bohai County, once Yuan Shang and Liu had any crooked thoughts and sent someone to intercept and kill them on the road, they would be worried about their lives. If they could borrow troops from Han Zhan, then Yuan Shang and the others would definitely not dare to act rashly, so that their two brothers would be able to reach Bohai County smoothly. As long as you can reach Nanpicheng smoothly, you can contact the old department privately, and come to an anti-guest to replace Yuan Shang's position as the Bohai Taishou.

However, when it came to borrowing troops from Han Zhan, Yuan Xi had some concerns, he felt that it was difficult to move if he wanted to borrow soldiers and horses from Han Zhan's hands by relying on his two brothers' empty mouths and white teeth, so he said hesitantly: "Big brother, do you think Han Tinghou is willing to lend us troops?" ”

"We're just going to have to gamble on our luck." Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi and said, "I think that since Han Tinghou took the initiative to send us to Bohai County, he must have already planned to do so." ”

As soon as Yuan Tan finished speaking, Yuan Xi immediately asked, "Then when are we going to see Han Tinghou?" ”

"Wait two more days." Yuan Tan said a little embarrassedly: "After all, I just rejected his kindness today, and it is not appropriate to ask to see him at this moment." ”

Although Yuan Xi was eager to rush to Nanpi as soon as possible, when he heard Yuan Tan say this, he also understood that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only say helplessly: "Since the eldest brother has decided to return to Bohai County, then we might as well wait for two more days." I only hope that Han Tinghou can agree to our brother's request to borrow troops, if there is no Jizhou soldier to help, there is no need for us to go back. ”

The messenger sent by Han Zhan arrived at Chaoge that night and handed Han Zhan's letter to the two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang. After reading the letter, Lu Kuang said to Lu Xiang: "The lord asked you and me to rush to Yecheng immediately, when do you think you will leave?" ”

"Didn't the lord order you and me to supervise the captured Bai Bobing Tuntian here?" Lu Xiang didn't look at the letter on the table, but asked bluntly: "I don't know what is important to invite us to Yecheng in such a hurry." ”

Lu Kuang shook his head and said: "The lord's letter didn't say it, but only let us rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, I estimate that there may be an important military situation." You pack up as soon as possible, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

In the early morning of the next day, the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang rushed to Yecheng with a team of personal soldiers. Because they were worried that Han Zhan was in a hurry, they even ate dry food on horseback. Hurried and hurried, and finally arrived in Yecheng in the afternoon of the same day.

Seeing the arrival of the two brothers, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, Han Zhan's face showed an expression of surprise, he didn't expect them to come so quickly. After the two of them finished saluting, Han Zhan opened his mouth and said, "Two Lieutenants Lu, Ben Hou is in such a hurry to recruit you from Chaoge, there is an important matter, I want to order you to go." ”

"The lord has any orders, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Kuang said with a big grin: "Go to the soup and go to the fire, the foolish brother must be in charge." ”

"Ben Hou plans to let go of the Yuan family brothers." Han Zhan looked at Lu Kuang and said, "There are two of you escorting them to Nanpi. ”

"What, let go of the Yuan brothers?" Hearing Han Zhan say this, Lu Kuang's face showed a surprised expression, and after he and Lu Xiang glanced at each other, he said cautiously: "Lord, Nanpi is still the territory of the Yuan family, and sending the Yuan family brothers back to Nanpi is not a tiger returning to the mountain?" ”

"The Tiger Returns to the Mountain?!" After Han Zhan heard this idiom used by Lu Kuang, he couldn't help but smile, and then said: "If Yuan Shao is still in Bohai County, Benhou will send you to send the Yuan family brothers back to Nanpi City, even if it is a tiger returning to the mountain." But now there are only Yuan Shang and Gao Gan and others in Nanpi City, and sending the Yuan Tan brothers back at this moment is two different things. ”

Han Zhan's words confused Lu Kuang, and he asked puzzledly, "Two different things, why are they two different things?" ”

And Lu Xiang's reaction was obviously faster, and a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Why did the lord let go of the Yuan family brothers, I think I know what the reason is." ”

Han Zhan saw that Lu Kuang still looked dazed, so he said to Lu Xiang: "Since you have already guessed Benhou's intentions, you might as well tell Brother Ling so that he can understand what is going on." ”

Lu Xiang faced Lu Kuang and said: "Don't you still understand what the lord means, the current Bohai Taishou is Yuan Shang, and the lord asked us to escort the Yuan family brothers to Bohai County, just to let the two of them compete with Yuan Shang for power and profit." As long as Bohai County is in chaos, when we send troops to Qingzhou, we don't have to worry about someone being hindered. ”

After Lu Xiang ended like this, Lu Kuang finally suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the lord's plan is really clever." ”

"You two brothers used to be the old Yuan family," Han Zhan saw that Lu Kuang had already understood his intentions, so he continued: "You are in charge of escorting, so the Yuan family brothers will have any scruples. ”

As soon as Lu Kuang waited for Han Zhan to finish speaking, he immediately asked, "Lord, I don't know when we will escort them to Bohai County?" ”

"There's no rush in this matter." Han Zhan waved his hand and said, "I want to snub the Yuan family brothers for two more days, lest they put forward a bunch of conditions for me when I get it." Since the return of Chang'an, the two of you have been busy driving the captives to Tuntian in Chaoge, and you have not had a good rest, so it is better to take advantage of the two free days to take a good rest in the city. ”

And the two Yuan Tan brothers, who were anxious to return to Bohai County as Taishou, waited patiently in their courtyard for two days, and saw that Han Zhan had never sent anyone to look for him, and it seemed that he had already forgotten about himself, so he cheekily went to ask to see Han Zhan. After listening to Luo Bu's report, Han Zhan smiled faintly, and then said slowly: "Luo Bu, Ben Hou doesn't want to see them now, let them all go back." ”

Knowing that Han Zhan was unwilling to see them, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi couldn't help but panic. The two closed the door in the house to discuss, Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Xi had more eyes than himself, so he could only humbly ask him for advice: "Second brother, you said that Han Tinghou said two days ago that we should go back to Bohai County. Is that really the intention, or is it just a casual statement? ”

Yuan Xi frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Big brother, according to the observation of the younger brother, Han Tinghou doesn't seem to be joking, he should really be preparing to let us go back to Bohai County." ”

Hearing Yuan Xi say this, Yuan Tan was so anxious that he slapped the table in front of him a few times: "I'm really confused, a few days ago, Han Tinghou offered to send us back to Bohai County, I should have promised him." Now that he doesn't even want to see us, there must be no hope for this matter. ”

"Big brother is not worried." Yuan Xi saw that Yuan Tan was a little confused, so he comforted him and said, "Han Tinghou doesn't want to see us, he must be still angry about what happened two days ago. We might as well wait for his anger to subside, and then it's not too late to ask for a meeting. ”

Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi and said with a wry smile: "How do we know when he will be able to dissipate his anger, he can't wait indefinitely, right?" ”

Yuan Xi stood up, walked back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back a few times, then stopped and said to Yuan Tan: "Big brother, according to the guess of the younger brother, the reason why Han Tinghou is in a hurry to send the two of us away may be that the expedition to Qingzhou is imminent. In order to prevent the troops from being hindered by the Xianfu when they sent our troops, he must send us back to Bohai County as soon as possible. ”

"In this way, even though he refuses to see us today, he may see us only if we continue to ask for it tomorrow." After Yuan Xi's analysis, Yuan Tan suddenly felt confident again: "Since this is the case, then you and I will visit Han Tinghou again tomorrow morning, hoping that he can meet us then." ”

After the two made up their minds, early the next morning, they went to see Han Zhan again. Han Zhan had just gotten up and heard Luo Bu's report that the Yuan brothers had asked to see him, so he said unhurriedly: "Ben Hou still has official business to deal with, let them wait first." ”

When Han Zhan finished handling the business in hand, it was almost noon, and then he ordered Luo Bu: "Luo Bu, go and bring the Yuan brothers to Benhou." ”

The brothers of the Yuan family, who had been waiting outside for more than two hours, were overjoyed when they saw Rob coming over and saying that Han Zhan wanted to see them. If Yuan Tan hadn't been penniless, he might have stuffed some gold beads into Rob's sleeve to express his inner gratitude.

As soon as they saw Han Zhan sitting in the hall, the two hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "See Tinghou!" ”

"Two sons are exempt!" Han Zhan looked up at the two of them and asked, "I heard that you want to see Ben Hou, do you know what's going on?" ”

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi glanced at each other, they said cheekily: "If you go back to Tinghou, a few days ago, didn't you say that you planned to send Brother Yu back to Bohai County?" In the past two days, after repeated discussions, my brothers and I felt that we could not live up to Tinghou's kindness, so I thought it would be better to go back to Bohai County. Please Tinghou Enzhun! ”

Hearing Yuan Tan say that he planned to return to Bohai County, Han Zhan couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, but he still pretended to be casual and asked, "Since the two sons want to go back to Bohai, then listen to it." Someone! ”

With Han Zhan's shout, Luo Bu hurriedly walked in and asked respectfully, "Lord, I don't know what you command?" ”

Han Zhan pointed at Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi with his hand and said, "The two Yuan Gongzi plan to return to Bohai County, you immediately prepare two fast horses for them, as well as a plate of dry food, and then send them on the road." ”

Seeing that Luo Bu agreed, he was about to go out, Yuan Tan hurriedly stopped him, and then said to Han Zhan helplessly: "Han Tinghou, the road to Bohai is long, and it is not very smooth. If my two brothers had gone on the road alone, I am afraid it would have been difficult to reach Bohai County safely. ”

"That's right, my eldest brother has a point." As soon as Yuan Tan's words were finished, Yuan Xi added: "Along the way, in addition to the thieves who gathered in the mountains and forests, the Yellow Turban thieves who hid among the people, and Gongsun Zan from Youzhou. You also know that my family and Gongsun Chan are mortal enemies, and if the Youzhou Army knows the identities of our two brothers, we will probably die without a place to bury. ”

"I really didn't expect that the road from Yecheng to Bohai County would be so unpleasant." After Han Zhan waited for Yuan Xi to finish speaking, he pretended to say: "Since this is the case, it is better for the two sons to continue to stay in Yecheng, and it is not too late to return to Bohai County after the road is calmed down in the future." ”

Yuan Tan didn't know that Han Zhan said this on purpose, and thought that the other party had really changed his mind, so he hurriedly said: "Han Tinghou, my brothers have been bothering you for a long time, and it's time to go home." Although the route is not smooth, if Tinghou Ken sends a team of soldiers and horses to escort us, we will be able to reach Beihai County smoothly. ”

"Let Benhou send a troop of soldiers and horses to escort you?" Han Zhan pretended to be surprised and said, "What if our army enters Beihai County and clashes with Brother Ling's soldiers and horses?" ”

"Tinghou, please rest assured." In order to persuade Han Zhan to send troops, Yuan Tan patted his chest and said: "As long as my brothers are here, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will definitely not have any conflict with the Bohai Navy." ”

"Rob," Han Zhan felt that the heat was almost over, and turned his head to ask Rob, "Are there any idle generals in the city at present?" ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard Han Zhan say this, they both understood that as long as it was a soldier led by a general, the number would definitely not be small, so they all focused on Luo Bu's body and listened to how he answered.

Rob pretended to frown and thought for a while, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Lord, I remember, didn't the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang come to Yecheng to report to you two days ago?" If they hadn't left, they could escort the two Yuan Gongzi to Bohai County. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, when you say that, Ben Hou remembers." Han Zhan put on a look of sudden realization and said: "They came to report on their work two days ago, and Ben Hou understood that they were tired of saddle horses, so he let them rest in Yecheng for a few days, presumably they have not left at this moment. Rob, go and see, and if the two of them are still around, call them here. ”

Yuan Tan knew that Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were his last hope, so when he saw Luo Bu leaving, he also bowed to the other party to express his gratitude in his heart.
