"Please sir, what should I do now?"

Yuan Tan grabbed Xun Chen's arm, and he felt difficulty for the first time.

He first felt the pressure of his father's previous decisions.

It's a simple decision, but there's so much involved.

Yuan Tan now has a decision that may affect the life and death of his father Yuan Shao, as well as his teacher Tian Feng.

Do you want to escort grain and grass to Youzhou?

Dispatch troops?

Still not out?

If he didn't send grain and grass to Youzhou, his father might be killed by Zhao Hui.

And sending grain and grass may be succeeded by Gongsun Zhan.

At that time, not only did he fail to rescue Yuan Shao, but he had to take the 200,000 yuan of grain and grass.

As a result, nothing was gained.

Jizhou is now riddled with 200,000 stone of grain and grass, which is not a small amount.

Yuan Tan also wants to collect from various families.

If it is all cheap in the end, Zhao Hui or Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Tan's status in the hearts of these families will decline again, and they will be even more dissatisfied with Yuan Tan.

And it is even more difficult for Yuan Tan to establish his prestige.

Xun Chen pondered for a while and said, "It's best to get in touch with Yuan Hao first to find out the situation of the lord." ”

Yuan Tan said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan won't give us so much time." ”

Xun Chen said: "The eldest prince can send someone to contact Yuan Hao on the one hand, and prepare to transport grain and grass on the other. ”

Yuan Tan said: "Do you really want to send 200,000 stone grains and grass to Youzhou and give it to Zhao Hui?" ”

He was still a little reluctant. In terms of decision, Yuan Tan is inferior to his father Yuan Shao.

Xun Chen said: "It must be given." ”

Although this 200,000 stone of grain and grass is now a large amount for Jizhou.

But they need to mediate with Zhao Hui Gongsun Zhan.

At least on the surface now, to let Zhao Hui Gongsun Chan see them in action.

Xun Chen said: "The speed at which we collect grain and grass can be a little slower. It's also a little slower when it's being escorted. In terms of time, it was enough for us to get in touch with Yuan Hao. ”

Although Tian Feng is now Yuan Tan's teacher, and subjectively, Yuan Tan is not willing to believe that Tian Feng will betray.

But when he hesitated, it was already evident that he was sure of his heart, and that he was uneasy and suspicious.

On the contrary, it is not as good as Xun Chen's trust in Tian Feng.

Compared with Yuan Tan, Xun Chen knows Tian Feng's personality better.

What Gongsun Chan said in the letter did happen.

But even if Tian Feng and Zhao Hui had a secret talk, Xun Chen didn't believe that Tian Feng wanted to betray Yuan Shao.

Even though Gongsun Chan wrote in the second letter, Tian Feng had more guards from Zhao Hui around him.

In Xun Chen's view, this is also Tian Feng's self-preservation.

Tian Feng asked Zhao Hui for protection, so the only person Tian Feng had to guard against was naturally Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Tan said: "Who will you send?" ”

There are not many generals in Yecheng anymore, and the only one who can stabilize Gongsun Zan is Wen Chou.

Sending others to go, Yuan Tan was also worried that he would be seized by Gongsun Zhan.

But if Wen Chou is sent to go, there is no general in Yecheng, and Yuan Tan is worried that if the enemy is coming, he will not be able to defend Yecheng.

In particular, Tai Shi Ci was now two hundred miles away, and he could attack at any time.

Even if Wen Chou has now returned to Yecheng from the front line, he needs to be ready to face Tai Shici again.

And apart from Wen Chou, Yuan Tan really doesn't know who else to send.

In the past year, the generals under Yuan Shao's command have suffered heavy casualties.

The few newly promoted martial arts are mediocre, and none of them can get their hands on it.

"I can recommend one." Xun Chen said.

Yuan Tan said: "What person? ”

"Lead!"

"Lead?" Yuan Tan had heard of this name, but he didn't have much impression and didn't know how to recruit this person.

Xun Chen said: "Yes, if it doesn't work, then no one in Yecheng can be responsible for escorting grain and grass." ”

Seeing that Yuan Tan was still confused, Xun Chen had no choice but to introduce him to the life of the lead.

When he was a teenager, he was also good friends with Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei later apprenticed to Lu Zhi, but he failed to become Lu Zhi's disciple, but to learn from Leyin.

His reputation is far inferior to Lu Zhi's, and his status is not good, but he teaches disciples in the county seat.

When he was a teenager, he worshipped at his door.

When Liu Bei was a teenager, he was very ambitious, and he was not willing to follow Le Yin, a teacher, but did everything possible to eventually become one of Lu Zhi's countless disciples.

Not long after learning from Le Yin, Le Yin also became the long history of He Miao, a cavalry general.

Zhao followed him to Luoyang.

At this time, he is still an unknown junior.

It wasn't until the Luoyang Chaos that He Jinshi and He Miao and others were all killed, and the master Le Yin, who was recruited, also died in this chaos.

And the lead is to return to Jizhou with the body of Master Le Yin.

And when they encountered bandits on the road, they fled with the others who were traveling with them.

And he recruited one person to kill dozens of bandits alone, and broke out with the corpse of the master.

As a result, he became famous and became famous in Jizhou.

It's just that this bit of fame was nothing in the eyes of Yuan Shao at that time.

It was also in this half a year that he joined Yuan Shao Group. Now he's just a lieutenant.

It's just that people who have the ability are always easy to be discovered.

The performance of the recruit in the army was seen by Xun Chen very early.

Xun Chen just took this opportunity to promote the recruitment.

A mere lieutenant can't give full play to his talents.

Compared with Zhao Rui, whether it is commander's ability or personal force, as well as wisdom and strategy, he is far superior to these two.

"Since this person has such ability, then according to Mr. 's words, he will escort the grain and grass to Youzhou." Yuan Tan said.

"But for the matter of grain and grass collection, please help me more."

Yuan Tan knew very well that he did not have much prestige in the hearts of the family.

If he comes to collect grain and grass, there will definitely be many families who will not cooperate.

Not to mention a month or two, even a year, he may not be able to collect 200,000 stone of grain and grass.

In the past year, Jizhou has been levied by Yuan Shao many times before.

Ordinary people have no food left in their homes.

Although the family has it, not many people are willing to take it out again.

And Xun Chen still has a high status in the eyes of the family.

He is a member of the Yingchuan Xun family, and there will still be people in these families in Jizhou who are willing to give Xun Chen face.

How much will cooperate with Xun Chen a little bit, and take out a little food.

Xun Chen himself took the initiative to visit him, and he could ask for more.

barely managed to scrape together 200,000 stone of grain and grass, but there was still no big problem.

It's just that in terms of time, Xun Chen can't grasp it.

But there is no need to be too anxious now, Xun Chen estimated that as long as he could gather 200,000 stones of grain and grass within two months.

In the post house of Jicheng, even if Tian Feng and Gongsun Chan live in this post house together, the two meet less and less, and they talk less and less.

With Zhao Hui watching, Gongsun Chan was not hiding his thoughts.
