Thinking that he would be able to subdue Tian Yu immediately, Yuan Xi's mood was very excited.

He sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said, "The duties of the Taishou of Dai County and Yuyang County must be held by generals who are loyal, witty, and experienced in fighting with foreign races. I think about it, and only you, General Tian Yu, are the most suitable. Whether you want to be the Taishou of Daijun or the Taishou of Yuyang County, I fully support it. ”

"I haven't agreed to work yet, can't I talk about loyalty?" Tian Yu said while eating.

"When I say loyalty, I mean loyalty to the people and to the nation. In April of the second year of Jian'an, General Tian was ordered to garrison Daijun to resist Xianbei. At that time, our army was attacking Zhuojun, and Gongsun Chan was defeated, so you were ordered to go to support. But you didn't go, because Xianbei came to attack, you couldn't bear to be slaughtered by the people of Daijun, and would rather disobey the military order than stay and fight with Xianbei in blood. It can be seen from this that you are more loyal to the people and the nation than to Gongsun Zhan. ”

Yuan Xi's words reached Tian Yu's heart.

No one could have understood his feelings about guarding the border and fighting against aliens. Including Yuan Shao, although he values him, he just wants to transfer him to Jizhou. But Tian Yu is not rare at all, and he doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune.

His greatest wish is to be a small Taishou on the border of Youzhou, so as to resist the invasion of foreign tribes.

This is the reason for Yuan Shao's failure to subdue Tian Yu, and it is also the key to Yuan Xi's success in subduing Tian Yu.

"I want to be a Daijun Taishou." Tian Yu said suddenly.

"Yes."

"I want 30,000 soldiers and horses."

"Yes."

"I only defend against Xianbei and guard Daijun. As a last resort, I will never return to Jixian County to participate in other wars.... ”

"Yes, you can."

Tian Yu put forward a lot of conditions, all of which were agreed to by Yuan Xi. Tian Yu, who was moved, kowtowed a few times and said: "Gongzi really understands righteousness, and Tian Yu is willing to be loyal." ”

"General, please."

Yuan Xi helped Tian Yu up, with a smile on his face, but he thought in his heart: "Although you have great achievements, your ability is also limited, it is not easy to defend Daijun, how can you participate in other wars?" What is the difference between agreeing and not agreeing? ”

Return to the Assassin's House.

Tian Yu was very excited, and he eagerly thought of serving in Daijun, and asked, "Childe, why do you want to go to Daijun?" ”

"General Tian doesn't need to be in a hurry. Before you go to Daigun, there is one more very important thing that needs to be done. ”

"What?"

Yuan Xi said: "Gongsun Zhan was defeated, and more than 50,000 soldiers and horses were captured and imprisoned in the south school field. You are the general of Gongsun Chan, you should be familiar with them. I want you to persuade them to work for me. ”

"It's easy to do."

"I knew you could." Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I originally planned to transfer these 50,000 captives to Zhuo County, and then make arrangements when I return from the Northern Expedition, but now that you are here, I will be much more relieved." Take all these 50,000 soldiers and horses with you. ”

"Gongzi Xie."

Tian Yu was grateful to Yuan Xi for his trust in him, and was also surprised by Yuan Xi's courage in handling things, daring to hand over the 50,000 soldiers and horses that captured Gongsun Zan to a general who had just returned to obedience, which was really admirable.

Carefully recalling Yuan Xi's words, Tian Yu suddenly said: "Gongzi just said the Northern Expedition? Is it to attack Wuhuan? ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi did not hide it, and told Tian Yu about the things before and after. Including the things of the gods. However, Tian Yu seems to be an atheist, and he laughs at Yuan Xi's prayers, gifts, etc.

"The son wants to recruit Wu Huan, and he will recommend one person from his humble position, and he will definitely be able to help." Tian Yu said very seriously.

"Who?"

Tian Yu replied: "The lowly cousin Tian Chou is currently the Yuyang Order. He was once engaged in Liu Yu. After Liu Yu perished, he was detained by Gongsun Zhan, and then there were local scholars, saying that Tian Chou was a righteous man and was willing to redeem him with money and food. Gongsun Zhan didn't dare to harm him, so he let him go in front of the scholars. Since then, he lived in seclusion in Yuyang, not asking about the world, until General Yuan commanded Youzhou, he sent someone to invite him and gave the general a seal. But he was rejected by Tian Chou, and he was afraid of being persecuted, so he only made a fishing order. ”

Tian Yu said in detail.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi was both surprised and delighted.

He knew very well that Tian Chou was more capable than Tian Yu, and he hated foreign races even more. To gain the allegiance of Tian Chou, it is very simple. Just like persuading Tian Yu, just give tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and promise him to resist Wuhuan.

It just so happened that Tian Yu and Tian Chou, one resisted Xianbei and the other resisted Wuhuan, ensuring that Youzhou had no worries.

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll go find him."

Yuan Xi replied.

After the conversation.

Tian Yu went to the south school field and easily incorporated Gongsun Zhan's 50,000 troops.

The generals in the army were very respectful to Tian Yu.

Just like the younger generation seeing the elders, and the star chasers seeing their idols, they support Tian Yu without hesitation.

Yuan Xi, who is the assassin of Youzhou, should have rushed to the school field at the first time to win the hearts of the army. But Yuan Xi didn't do that, but gave Tian Yu food, weapons and armor, and Tian Yu distributed them.

Tian Yu's prestige in the army reached its peak.

This approach also made Tian Yu more loyal and admired Yuan Xi.

Time flies...

Fifteen days later.

In the past 15 days, Yuan Xi has done several major things.

First of all, the 10,000 war horses in the North School Field, the cavalry system was restored, and it was still commanded by Jiao Touch.

Xun Chen wrote an article denouncing Wu Huan and sent it to all counties and counties in Youzhou to inform the people. In particular, the people of Yuyang County hated Wuhuan to the core, and when they heard that Wuhuan was going to be conquest, they were very interested.

50,000 stone grain and grass have been transported to Yuyang in advance.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses of Beiping and Daijun on the right also advanced to Yuyang.

The war is on the verge of breaking out.

Yuan Xi knew that Wu Huan's iron horse was not easy to mess with, and he didn't dare to underestimate it. In order to defeat Wuhuan, he plans to take the mammoth and the Spotted Tiger with him. Although the colorful tiger is brave, the defense is insufficient, and the mammoth is also very precious, and there can be no accidents, so they are made of thick armor to protect the important parts of their bodies.

Mid-May.

Everything.

Just wait for Yuan Xi to give an order, and he can go to Wu Huan's station.

At this critical time, something unexpected happened...

"Childe, there's a letter from Jizhou." Xun Chen took a silk silk and found Yuan Xi in the Assassin's Mansion.

Yuan Xi was dressed in military uniform and was preparing to go to the school field, worship heaven and earth, and swear to go on the expedition.

Seeing Xun Chen's anxious expression, Yuan Xi seemed to have a guess: "You won't tell Fu Zhu about my expedition, right?" ”

"Gongzi has instructed, if you don't report to Jizhou, how dare you be lowly?"

Xun Chen handed over the silk silk.

Yuan Xi took it in his hand, only glanced at it, then frowned, and said a little distractedly: "The Guandu Battle is coming..." ”

"What did Childe say?"

"My father ordered me to prepare 100,000 troops and assemble them in Wei County. What does Mr. Xun think? Yuan Xi remembered the battle of Guandu in history, as if it was in the fourth year of Jian'an, but I don't remember which time period.

Judging from Yuan Shao's letter, it should be in July. This happened to collide with the time of the conquest of Wu Huan.
