The sun is rising.

It's a great day.

Zhen Yao was anxious to send the wholesale furniture to Jizhou for sale, and did not want to stay longer. Early in the morning, he invited hundreds of carriages, went to the furniture factory to load the furniture, and bid farewell to Yuan Xi.

Inside the Assassin's House.

Yuan Xi had breakfast and played with little Yuan Zhuo.

Zhen Mi also giggled on the side.

"Zhuo'er, can you take two steps?" Yuan Xi put Yuan Zhuo on the ground on a whim, took his two hands, and slowly drove forward.

"Husband, he's only four months old, how can he walk? Don't tire him out. Zhen Mi said distressedly: "It's better to wait for him to be older and then teach him to walk." ”

"It's okay, just give it a try."

Yuan Xi remembers that some four-month-old children can walk. It's just that he is too young to grasp his balance, and he needs someone to support his body.

Little Yuan Zhuo was put on the ground and looked at Yuan Xi with a confused expression.

"Go ahead..."

Yuan Xi took a step, and his left leg actually took a step forward.

"Look, look...." Yuan Xi smiled at Zhen Mi and said, "Zhuo'er knows how to take steps, so she will definitely be able to learn it." ”

"Husband, don't teach him, wait and tiring him down." Zhen Mi called a few maids and told them to take Yuan Zhuo down. Yuan Xi pouted and said, "Okay, if you don't teach, you won't teach." ”

......................

Zhen Yao came to the living room and bid farewell to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi knew that he wanted to go back to Jizhou early and sell those furniture, so naturally he would not stop him. He also wanted to rely on the Zhen family's power in Hebei to make a lot of money.

With the help of the Zhen family, if you invent something in the future, you will also have a stable market.

"Third brother..."

Zhen Mi seemed reluctant to let Zhen Yao go.

Zhen Yao said: "These furniture are really good. If it can be sold in Jixian County, it will definitely be sold in Jizhou. I think I'll be back soon. ”

"Hmm."

Zhen Mi nodded.

Zhen Yao waved at Yuan Xi and said, "Second son, take care, I'm leaving." ”

"Okay."

Yuan Xi was afraid that when Zhen Yao returned to Jizhou, he would encounter any danger on the way, so he ordered two thousand light horsemen to escort him. Such pomp and honor are only enjoyed by the Zhen family. Looking at the major families in Hebei, which family can be escorted by the army?

Zhen Yao was extremely grateful.

After leaving Jixian County, the team returned to Zhongshan along the official road.

Noon.

Yuan Xi went to Jixian Mansion.

Prepare to persuade the captured Cao generals Li Dian, Yu Ban and Le Jin.

Yuan Xi walked into the reception hall.

"Childe..." Xun Chen raised his eyes and hurriedly greeted him.

Yuan Xi nodded, sat directly in his place, and asked, "Mr. Xun, the captured general of the Cao Army, is it placed here?" ”

"Yes."

Xun Chen replied: "There are also Mr. Chen Deng and Mr. Chen Yuanlong, who are also in the county government. They are all placed in the side courtyard at the back, guarded by a team of soldiers, and there will be no accidents. ”

"Nonsense, Chen Deng took the initiative to take refuge in me, how can he send soldiers to take care of it? Get him out quickly. Yuan Xi frowned.

"Yes."

Xun Chen went to the side courtyard.

Of course, he knew that Chen Deng took the initiative to join Yuan Xi, and he also knew Chen Deng's talent. But Yuan Xi is not in Jixian County, how dare he give Chen Deng freedom? If you run away and are assassinated, who will bear the consequences?

Invite Chen Deng to the lobby.

Yuan Xi stepped forward and arched his hand: "Mr. Yuanlong, you have been wronged." ”

"No grievances, no grievances..."

When Chen Deng saw Yuan Xi's attitude towards him, it was still the same as a few months ago, and the stone in his heart finally landed. With Yuan Xi's trust and attention, his status in Youzhou will not be too low.

As for Xun Chen, he had already said humility to him just now, and he could understand it.

Yuan Xi pulled Chen Deng to sit down and said slowly: "Mr. Yuanlong has served Tao Qian and Cao Cao, and he has rich experience in governing counties, developing agriculture, or leading the army. You can choose my official position in Youzhou at will. I'm sure you're up to the task. ”

Pick and choose?

The weight of these four words is not light!

Xun Chen was stunned and looked at Yuan Xi in surprise.

Chen Deng also trembled, got up and said: "No matter what official position it is, it is the trust of the prince in the subordinates, and the subordinates will definitely do their best to assist the prince in order to repay the son's kindness." Or is it designated by the son, Chen Deng is ordered. ”

"Okay...."

Yuan Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no real power for Chen Deng now, so he said: "I appointed you as the governor of Youzhou to assist Mr. Xun Chen in handling government affairs, what do you think?" ”

"Gongzi Xie."

Chen Deng made a long gesture.

The position of Governor Shi of Youzhou is not big or small. is equivalent to the assistant of Youzhou Thorn History, who usually looks inconspicuous and doesn't seem to have any actual rights.

But Yuan Xi is different from other assassins, his mind is not on governing the county, he does some marginal things all day long, and hands over the internal affairs of Youzhou to Xun Chen.

Now there is one more Chen Deng.

In other words, when Yuan Xi did not interfere, the two of them were completely the top decision-makers in Youzhou's internal affairs.

Officials at all levels in Youzhou, don't you hurry up?

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Put the internal affairs of Youzhou in your hands, and I will rest assured." I mainly focus on the military, and I have the final say on matters involving the army.... ”

A few things were briefly explained.

Yuan Xi personally went to the backyard of the Jixian Mansion to meet with the captured Cao generals Li Dian, Yu Ban and Le Jin.

For these three talents, Yuan Xi is determined to win.

If he doesn't submit, he won't let him go easily.

Walk to the backyard.

Yuan Xi first went to see Yu Ban.

Yu Ban was the first general of the Cao army captured when he was in Puyang, Dongjun. At that time, he defeated more than 20,000 of his elites, wrapped him with the nose of a mammoth and brought him back to the Baimajin camp, and was almost beheaded by Yuan Shao, but it was he who risked being punished by Yuan Shao and saved Yu Ban. From this point of view, the possibility of soliciting Yu Ban is greater than that of recruiting Li Dian and Lejin.

Eating persimmons is a soft pinch, and recruiting generals is no exception.

"General Yu, long time no see. How are you doing these days? Yuan Xi said hello very warmly.

"Can you be okay with you locked up in such a place, guarded by guards, and unable to enter or exit? What's the difference between this and going to jail? Yu Ban replied very unhappily.

"General Yu, please take a seat."

Yuan Xi personally poured him a bottle of tea and said, "Actually, as long as you submit to me, the treatment will not be worse than in Cao Cao." And I'm not going to be suspicious just because you're a general. Recently, more than 50,000 new soldiers and horses have been added to Youzhou, and I will give you all these soldiers and horses, what do you think? ”
