He Hao opened his mouth and stammered, his face turned red, and then he turned pale again.

Zhang Miao is among the eight chefs. The cook, who can help people with money, Zhang Miao has rescued countless people, so he is called an elder and a well-known loyal person. Han Fu gave up Jizhou, he should have been treated as a guest by Yuan Shao, but now he wants to take refuge in Zhang Miao, which itself has violated morality, and he died at Zhang Miao's place, whether Zhang Miao was killed or not, Zhang Miao can't escape the involvement.

This is a bad reputation, trapping friends in injustice.

Zhang Miao was right to refuse to see him, what can he say when he sees him? It was he who introduced Yuan Shao to Zhang Miao at the beginning. Brother Zhang Miao has done so many things for Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao is treating them like this now, and his face as a referee is very gloomy.

"Zhong Zhuo, I first recuperated in Chang'an, and then lived in seclusion in Wancheng, I don't know much about Shandong, you tell me."

Zhang Chao heard Jiang Gan say that he knew that He Hao was in Wancheng, Xin Bi was also there, and there was news sent to Yecheng every few days, but he had never contacted them, and he was a little resentful, and now He Hao still pretended not to know, he was even more angry, so he told He Hao everything about Yuan Shao's departure from Luoyang.

Xun You led the horse and walked side by side with Xin Bi, and neither of them spoke. The whispering in the back compartment was faintly audible, mixed with a muffled sound from time to time, which was the sound of someone pounding the case.

"Gongda, where are you going after sending Mr. to Yecheng?"

"I don't know." Xun You said slowly: "If there is chaos today, I don't know where to go, let's take one step at a time." ”

"There are a lot of your Xun family in Yecheng, and you went to Chang'an from Shu Xun Wenruo, so it's not interesting for you to stay in Yecheng. Yuan Xiansi entered Yanzhou, thirsty for talent, and has admired Gongda for a long time, if you are willing to come to Yanzhou, he will definitely welcome it. ”

Xun You turned his head to look at Xin Bi, and laughed softly: "George shut up, don't be heard by Mr." The prince will not general, Mr. Yuan Xiansi has a lot of opinions on the matter of Yuan Xiansi's entry into Yanzhou, and this time he went to Yecheng, and he had to give advice to Yuan Benchu. ”

Simbi sighed to himself. It doesn't matter whether He Hao will admonish Yuan Shao or not, the important thing is that Xun You rejected Yuan Tan's invitation. What does he want to do, to vote for Sun Ce? It stands to reason that when it comes to this, he should shut up, but he just doesn't give up.

"Gongda, you and I have been together for a few months, and we can talk about it, so there is nothing willing to teach me?"

Xun You was silent for a long time, and when he saw that Xin Bi still didn't give up, he had to say: "George, Yuan Benchu was in the prime of life, with the triple identity of the leader of the party, the sect master of the Yuan family, and the ranger, who can have his influence?" This is the nature of the times, and it is beyond the reach of human beings. Not to mention Yuan Xiansi, no one can completely replace him. As the eldest son, Yuan Xiansi can only be obedient and irreversible, otherwise he will be counterattacked. ”

Xin Bi looked at Xun Yu. "Then you're going to stay in Yecheng?"

Xun You frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "If possible, I would like to go to Yizhou. If Yizhou can't make the trip, I want to go to Jiaozhou. I can't be a hermit, but I can find a calmer place to be the head of a county. ”

Simpi sighed regretfully.

——

When He Hao arrived at Pingqiu, it was already two days later, and Yuan Tan personally went out of the camp thirty miles to meet him. On a hot day, he was still wearing a full suit of armor, sweating and dusty, and he looked very hard. Before He Hao's carriage stopped, he hurried up to meet him, opened the door, and saluted He Hao.

"Yuan Tan has seen Mr. Some cavalry broke into Yanzhou, the situation was tense, I was in the army, I could not disarm, please forgive me. ”

Looking at Yuan Tan, who was covered in dust, He Hao became more and more anxious. Yuan Shao is crazy about this, such a good heir, he has to rush out. He stretched out his hand and put his hand on Yuan Tan's arm and slowly got out of the car. In terms of age, he is more than ten years older than Yuan Shao, two generations older than Yuan Tan, when Yuan Tan was a few years old, he met Yuan Tan, it can be said that he watched Yuan Tan grow up, and has a different relationship from ordinary people.

"What kind of cavalry are they, and what damage has they caused?"

"Fortunately, they just passed through the county, swaggering, disturbing people's hearts, and did not launch any attacks. It's just that they move very fast, and our cavalry is not enough to keep up, so we can only mobilize foot soldiers to surround it on all sides, which inevitably affects the attack on the Black Mountain bandits. ”

He Hao thought of Xun You's words, and suddenly realized, and he was ashamed of himself. "Is this Sun Ce's subordinate?"

"Yes." Yuan Tan looked embarrassed. "The Black Mountain thief is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, but Zhang Yan has already declared himself a minister to the court, and it is reasonable for Taiwei Zhu to send troops to rescue. However, in this way, the foolish people will inevitably be confused, and they will suspect that we are against the imperial court, and that we will encounter trouble recruiting soldiers and collecting taxes. The autumn harvest is approaching, and if we can't collect money and grain in time, it will be difficult for us to stabilize Yanzhou. Mr. Berge, you need to help us. ”

Yuan Tan liked to stick to He Hao's side when he was a child, and asked He Hao for help at this moment, He Hao naturally couldn't bear to refuse. But he couldn't help for a while, so he could only tell Yuan Shao on behalf of Yuan Tan. The fundamental reason for this incident was that Yuan Shao did not admit that the Son of Heaven was the bloodline of the first emperor, which was equivalent to breaking with the imperial court, so when Xun You suggested that Yuan Shao enter the court, he refused without thinking about it.

Because this is simply impossible, entering the government is equivalent to recognizing the authority of the Son of Heaven, so what are the things that Yuan Shao did before? With Yuan Shao's character, what is the difference between this and a self-slap, it is impossible for him to agree.

But if you don't agree now, you can't do it, if Yuan Shao insists on confronting the imperial court, he will become the target of public criticism, and Gongsun Zhan, Sun Ce, and Zhang Yan will surround Yuan Shao under the command of Zhu Jun, so that he will be attacked on all sides and exhausted. Those who attached to him were, of course, strong believers, but more often than not, and when they found out that Yuan Shao had become a public enemy and that their strength was not enough to support his ambitions, they would scatter in a hurry.

"Xiansi, what do you think of your father sending you to Yanzhou?"

Yuan Tan blinked, revealing a little dazed. He lowered his head and looked at his toes like an aggrieved child.

"Mr. Boqiu, I don't quite understand what I did wrong, and I lost my father's favor. But since my father asked me to come to Yanzhou, I will do my best to protect Yanzhou for my father, even if I die on the battlefield. During the battle of the boundary bridge, my father was able to take the edge with his own eyes, and as a son of man, how dare I covet comfort and sit back and enjoy it. ”

Yuan Tan raised his head and looked at He Hao, his eyes were full of tears, and his lips trembled. "Sir, I do this...... All right? ”

He Hao's nose was sour, he raised his hand and touched Yuan Tan's face. "Kid, you're doing the right thing. Don't worry, I'll tell your father when I get to Yecheng. You should be careful, the battlefield is dangerous, don't be too strong, the courage of a general, not to charge, but to take responsibility. ”

"Whoa." Yuan Tan burst into tears and smiled, and thanked him.

Xin Bi stood in the distance, his expression indifferent, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a trace of smugness flashed.
