Guo Tu's sophistry made Yuan Shao believe a little.

His gaze returned to the bamboo slip, and he found that the words on the bamboo slip were not Yuan Xi's handwriting. I already believed Guo Tu's words, but now I don't believe it at all, and even suspects that Guo Tu has accepted Yuan Xi's benefits and deliberately said good things.

Yuan Shao put away the bamboo slips and said, "You go and call Xi'er." He's going back to Youzhou, and I have something to say to him. ”

"No."

Guo Tu respectfully retreated.

After half a column of incense.

Yuan Xi was recruited.

He walked into Yuan Shao's study and saw Yuan Shao holding a bamboo slip in his hand, reading it carefully, and sighing from time to time. Yuan Xi clenched his fists and said, "The child visits his father." ”

Yuan Shao didn't say anything, and beckoned to the side. A guard walked over and put pen and ink and silk silk on a coffee table. Yuan Shao said: "I just got a poem, I feel that it is very well written, and I want to taste it with you." I'll read it, you write? ”

"The child obeys."

Yuan Xi knelt down at the coffee table with a calm expression.

He could think with his toes that it must have been after Guo Tu handed over the poem to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao found that the handwriting on it was not his, and he had doubts in his heart and wanted to verify it.

This little thing, how can it be difficult for him?

Yuan Shao opened his mouth and read: "It's difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless, and the flowers are gone..." ”

While reading it, he looked at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smoothed the silk silk unhurriedly, picked up the pen and began to write, the writing was smooth, and it was done in one go. After writing it, he handed it to Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "Father, this is a graffiti work in the child's leisure time, and I accidentally lost it, but I didn't expect it to be here with my father." ”

Graffiti?

These casual and arrogant words made the corners of Yuan Shao's mouth twitch. He held the bamboo slip given to him by Guo Tu in his left hand, and dragged the silk silk handed over by Yuan Xi in his right hand, comparing it seriously.

Undoubtedly, exactly the same!

Yuan Shao was very shocked and said, "Xi'er, when did you practice a good hand, and even I was kept in the dark?" ”

"Back to my father, when my children were in their spare time, I liked to write and draw, but I didn't expect that when I wrote, my handwriting changed. Now even I can't recognize my own handwriting. ”

"Okay..."

Yuan Shao's attitude took a 180-degree turn. He got up slowly, holding the silk silk and reciting with some intoxication: "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless... Such a good poem is actually from you. My father neglected you so much in the past that he didn't even notice that you had made such great progress. Xi'er, you impress your father! ”

"My father praised it falsely, but it was all taught by my father." Yuan Xi is neither humble nor arrogant, and speaks decently. did not show any dissatisfaction because of Yuan Shao's neglect of him in the past.

Yuan Shao read it several times in one breath before carefully putting away the silk silk and putting it in his arms.

He looks at Yuan Xi now, how do you look at it...

The matter of training Zhen Mi that Liu told him was also left behind by him, and he smiled: "For my father, I felt the love between you and Zhen Mi from your poems, you should have known each other for a long time, right?" Otherwise, he would not have offered to marry her. The Father cannot bear to tear you apart. If you go back to Youzhou this time, take her with you. ”

"Thank you, father."

Yuan Xi seemed to have found a treasure, extremely happy, and gave Yuan Shao a big gift. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself, "It's done!" If there is no change, you have to return to Youzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Father, the child wants to return to Youzhou as soon as possible..." Yuan Xi said with some apprehension.

"I left you in Yecheng because you and Zhen Mi's girl just got married, and I want you to spend more time together. Now that you're going to take her with you, there's no need to stay, it's better to go back early and deal with important military affairs. ”

"Thank you father for your understanding, the child will be back tomorrow."

Yuan Xi didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Yuan Shao held the Great Seal of Youzhou Thorn History, handed it to Yuan Xi with his own hands, and said, "This is your seal, put it away." Before leaving, go to Fu Zhu and ask him to tell you about Youzhou, which will help you govern Youzhou. ”

"Yes."

Leaving Yuan Shao's study, Yuan Xi went straight to Fu Zhi's residence.

He is now very worried that the old witch of the Liu family will make a hindrance from it, and if Yuan Shao changes his mind, he will lose all his efforts. Therefore, the sooner you leave Yecheng, the better, and when you get to Youzhou, it's up to him to decide.

Frustration.

Fu Zhu is Yuan Shao's confidant and adviser, and the official worships the official and the general of Fenwei.

Since the demise of Gongsun Zhan, his status in Jizhou has become higher and higher, nominally as a supervisor of the army, but in fact he is in charge of the recruitment, scheduling, and supervision of the production of weapons and armor in various states and counties, and distributing them.

Even Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, and Yuan Shang, the assassin of the state, did not dare to offend easily.

Yuan Xi understood his situation, and seemed to be frustrated with such a minister, even if he couldn't win him over, he couldn't offend him. When he arrived outside the Fu Mansion, he handed over the prayer note and waited honestly for half an hour.

Frustrated, he went out to greet him: "I don't know that Gongzi Xi is coming, and the minister has missed the welcome, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive his sins." ”

"Sir, please get up. You are busy, how dare I ask you to greet you. I'm the one who bothered me. Yuan Xi suddenly looked up and saw a plainly dressed and righteous frustration, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Childe, please."

"Please."

When he came to the living room, he saw the Great Seal of Thorn History in Yuan Xi's hand, and he already knew Yuan Xi's intention, and asked without thinking: "Is Gongzi Xi preparing to return to Youzhou to take office?" ”

"Yes. My father asked me to come to Mr. to learn about the situation in Youzhou, and I hope that Mr. will give me advice. Yuan Xi replied.

"Childe is polite."

Fu Zhu took out a map, put it in front of Yuan Xi, and said, "Childe, please take a look." Of the ten counties in Youzhou, six have been occupied by us. Jixian County has 40,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 cavalry. Yuyang, Youbeiping and Daijun each have 15,000 soldiers and horses. Most of the baggage and equipment of our captured Gongsun Zan have been transported back to Yecheng, but the captured soldiers and horses, about 50,000, are still imprisoned in the Jixian school yard, guarded by the two generals Jiao Touch and He Mao. The first thing Gongzi did when he arrived in Youzhou was to dispose of these captives, and the lord meant to take them all together as the main force to fight against Wuhuan.... ”

Frustrated said a lot.

After listening to it, Yuan Xi had a general understanding of the situation in Youzhou.

The ten counties of Youzhou, as well as Liaodong and Lelang, were occupied by Gongsun Du. Liaoxi and Xuansu were occupied by Wuhuan. Although no major war broke out, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and sooner or later it will fight.

Yuan Xi secretly thought in his heart, when he arrived in Youzhou and put his soldiers and horses in order, he would immediately recover the entire territory of Youzhou!

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

In April of the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Xi bid farewell to Yuan Shao and went to Jixian County, Youzhou, with Zhen Mi. There were more than 3,000 escorts, all of whom were Yuan Shao's elite personal guards and euphorbias, led by Zhang Jaw and personally escorted.

Yuan Shao's arrangement fully shows the importance he attaches to Yuan Xi now.

Because from Yecheng to Jixian County, Youzhou, more than a thousand miles away, thieves are rampant, the family is entrenched, and there are some people who see money and are bewitched, attacking Yuan Xi.

Yuan Shao sent Zhang Jaw to escort him in order to avoid accidents and escort Yuan Xi to Jixian County safely.
