Yuan Tan easily appeased Wang Yu, and promised to send someone to invite Cheng Yu immediately, seeing that Wang Yu's face softened, so Xiao Ran brought Mao Yu.

The person who can be a driver in the state is either a famous person with a high reputation, or a strong local hero, no matter what kind of person, Yuan Tan can't be negligent, if he wants to sit firmly in the history of Yanzhou and make achievements, he can't do without the help of these people. It is true that he is a son of the Yuan family and the son of Yuan Shao, but not every child of the Yuan family can get the support of the scholars, and Yuan Shao is not the only son of him, and the competition within the family is equally fierce, even fierce.

Yuan Shu is a lesson from the past.

Mao Jue is of medium stature, with a thin face, but his momentum is calm, although he is only a county magistrate, but standing between Yuan Tan and a group of celebrities, he has no embarrassment of stage fright, and he is more calm than the county commander Xiao Ran.

Yuan Tan had a very good impression of Mao Jue, and he added three points of hope, and asked Mao Jue very politely.

Yuan Tan and the others had just passed through Pingqiu not long ago, and Mao Jue had greeted Yuan Tan with Xiao Ran, but his status was too low, and it was impossible for Yuan Tan to notice him. I thought that Yuan Tan would stay in Chen for a while, but I didn't expect Yuan Tan to return so soon, which caught Pingqiu County off guard, and the preparations for greeting him were seriously insufficient.

"Is the envoy worried about Sun Ce?"

Yuan Tan nodded, not telling the truth to Mao Jue. He hasn't figured out why Zhang Miao has such a move, it is not appropriate to publicize it, and even if he wants to say it, he can't say it to Chen Liuren. Moreover, Zhang Miao's threat is limited, the real threat still comes from Sun Ce, and Mao Jue's analysis is not outrageous.

"Exactly."

"It's foolish to think that you don't have to care. Although Sun Ce is good at fighting, he has no intention of entering Yanzhou, at least not for the time being. ”

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief. "Please also ask Mao Jun for advice."

"Sun Ce's father and son are both martial artists, and although they have made many exploits on the battlefield, they do not have much contact with celebrities. When he was in Nanyang, he had a conflict with the Nanyang family, and when he arrived in Runan, he was not on good terms with Xu Zijiang. Runan is the hometown of the Yuan family, and the number of party members is innumerable, and at least half of the county commanders in the thirty-seven cities are the former officials of the Yuan family. If he wants to compete with the envoy for Yanzhou, he is afraid that no one will support him, and Yuzhou will be in chaos first. ”

Yuan Tan felt justified and nodded again and again. Seeing this, Xiao Ran was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so as not to arouse Wang Yu's disgust. Wang Yu also felt that Mao Jue had some truth in what he said. He doesn't like Xiao Ran, but he can't suppress Mao Jue. Xiao Ran is a foreigner, but Mao Jie is a Yanzhou, and there is a difference between inside and outside.

"Envoy, I think what Xiaoxian said is reasonable. After Sun Ce came to Yuzhou, he always kept his duty and did not cross the line. The last time he fought with Liu Bei, the reason was that Liu Bei wanted to dominate Yuzhou, and he was unwilling to give up, so it was a small battle. Besides, Liu Bei is a person, a man in Youzhou, he will not be able to pass Zhang, and he will not be able to make Jian Yong, how can he be compared with the envoy. As long as Sun Ce is not crazy, he will not hit the stone with an egg and take the initiative to clash with the envoy. ”

When Wang Yu spoke, Mao Jue just stood quietly and didn't say a word. Yuan Tan was even more happy when he saw it. Wang Yu just followed Mao Jue's train of thought to analyze, he was not clever, and he didn't have any idea before Mao Jue spoke. However, he was very measured, and when Wang Yu finished speaking, he praised a few more words, giving Wang Yu enough face, and then let Mao Yu continue.

Mao Jue is neither humble nor arrogant. "All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. If you are not at ease, you might as well be prepared. Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, was in Luoyang and was controlled by Taiwei Zhu. If Taiwei Zhu supports Luoyang, if he is asked to send Sun Jian to Hanoi to assist the envoy to attack the Montenegrin army, then the envoy will not only have one more helper, but also show sincerity, and he will be able to avoid worries. ”

Yuan Tanmao suddenly opened up, overjoyed. That's right, Sun Jian is famous for being good at fighting, if Zhu Jun can send him to fight and cut off the back road of the Montenegrin army, maybe without fighting, the Montenegrin army can only retreat, and the trouble in Yanzhou will be half gone. Sun Jian fought side by side with him, can Sun Ce still have any changes?

"Don't drive, what do you think?" Yuan Tan looked at Wang Yu with a smile.

Wang Yu knew that Yuan Tan had taken a fancy to Mao Jue, but he wanted him to be a recommender, so that Mao Jue would be grateful to him in the future, and the two would get along well. He was very satisfied with Yuan Tan's respect for him, and naturally he would not be sideways. "This plan is very wonderful, to control the heavy with light, easy to come, but it is a clever hand, filial piety is really a chest armor. If you can get filial piety first, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Yuan Tan got up from the table, walked to Mao Jue's side, dusted off his sleeves, dressed neatly, and bowed his hand.

"Tan Bucai, I would like to ask Mao Jun to govern the middle, and I hope that Mao Jun will not think I am stupid and will not hesitate to teach."

Mao Jue said a few words modestly and happily obeyed. At this time, Yuan Tan revealed to him that Zhang Miao had purchased the weapons produced in Nanyang, and after listening to it, Mao Yu immediately made a plan for Yuan Tan. Zhang Miao can buy it, and the envoy can also buy it, Zhang Miao is just a county guard, how many weapons can he buy? If you are in charge of a state, how can Zhang Miao be able to compare her strength. Buying Nanyang's weapons can not only show favor to Sun Ce, but also enhance his strength, and also balance Zhang Miao, killing three birds with one stone, why not?

Yuan Tan felt that Mao Jue was reasonable, but he was worried that Sun Ce would not sell, and was discussing whether to send someone to contact Sun Ce and who would be better to send, when Lu Cui arrived and conveyed Sun Ce's kindness to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan stroked his forehead and celebrated. Sun Ce was willing to raise him as a Maocai, so naturally there was no hostility at all. Everything is in Mao Jue's analysis, and he attaches more and more importance to Mao Jue. Cast it with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao, since Sun Ce is so on the road, he can't be too stingy, and decided to send Lu Cui as a messenger to rush to Xu County to negotiate with Sun Ce, first find out how much Zhang Miao bought, what price, and then buy at least twice the amount at the same price, the more the merrier, no matter what, we must let Sun Ce feel his sincerity.

Lu Cui was in the middle of it, and naturally changed from Cao Ang's guest to Yuan Tan's guest, and rushed to Yuzhou again. The spring breeze was proud, and when he came out of the account, he didn't even bother to look at Cao Ang.

Cao Ang was very emotional. Sun Cetuo Cai Yong wrote a letter to invite Lu Cui, but Lu Cui didn't even reply to the letter. He also put a lot of thought into inviting Lu Cui, and he was respectful to Lu Cui during this time, but Yuan Tan just beckoned, and with a fluttering word, Lu Cui abandoned him and switched to Yuan Tan. The appeal of the four worlds and the three princes is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, whether it is him, Sun Ce, let alone Liu Bei, they are beyond the reach of the dust. No wonder my father followed Yuan Shao for so many years, and finally decided to go to Chang'an.

It's a really bad feeling.

Thinking of Sun Ce, Cao Ang's heart suddenly moved. Everyone is a poor family, although the Cao family has a notoriety of being ugly, it is always better than the Sun family in terms of strength. Sun Ce can do it, why can't I do it, even if I can't be in charge of a state like him, be the head office of a county. Father once said that they were similar people, but Sun Ce did better. Maybe I should do a good analysis of how Sun Ce did it and learn from him?

Cao Ang leaned back, and Wei Zhen, who was sitting behind him, immediately leaned forward. Cao Ang leaned into his ear and said softly: "Gong Zhen, you pay attention to Sun Ce's actions in Nanyang and Runan. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. ”

Wei Zhen will understand. "Whoa."
