Li Yan didn't know why Yuan Yao had such a reaction after hearing his name, could it be that Yuan Yao had heard of his name before? However, although Li Yan was conceited and talented, he didn't think that his reputation would reach Yuan Yao's ears, after all, Yuan Yao was still too young, and now he was only a thirteen-year-old boy.

"The subordinate is Li Yan."

Although he was a little curious, Li Yan still answered Yuan Yao's question, Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's only son, and being able to enter and leave the Taishou Mansion at will shows that Yuan Shu values Yuan Yao, and Li Yan is not willing to offend Yuan Yao unless necessary.

Once he offends Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao only needs to say a few bad words about himself by Yuan Shu's side, and his career can be said to be the end.

Yuan Yao suppressed the curiosity in his heart at this time, and looked at Li Yan with an unchanged face. Yuan Yao still has an impression of the name Li Yan: when Liu Bei was entrusted to the orphan in the White Emperor City, there were two objects for the orphan, one was Zhuge Liang, and the other was Li Yan.

Although Li Yan's reputation is not very loud, but being able to be tied with Zhuge Liang when Liu Bei is lonely, it can be seen that this Li Yan's ability will not be much worse.

Could this Li Yan be that Li Yan?

Yuan Yao's gaze was withdrawn from Li Yan, and he thought to himself in his heart.

Li Yan saw that Yuan Yao stopped speaking after looking at him for a while, and he was also puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Childe?" But what's wrong with the names of the subordinates? ”

Hearing Li Yan's words, Yuan Yao came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's a good name, I remember it." ”

Although he didn't know if this Li Yan was the Li Yan in history, Yuan Yao felt that he needed to pay attention to the little official in front of him. If it is really the Li Yan in history, then Yuan Yao has earned it, if not, Yuan Yao has nothing to lose.

Seeing Yuan Yao walk into Yan Xiang's official room with a smile on his face, Li Yan frowned, he always felt that Yuan Yao looked at him with a hint of something else, but Li Yan couldn't see what he was carrying.

Forget it, the left and right are just a teenager, and they should just ask casually.

Comforting himself like this in his heart, Li Yan just left here, although he is just a small official, but he is known for his talent, and therefore he will be valued by Yan Xiang, just now Yan Xiang gave him a task, if he can complete it, he will definitely be able to perform in front of Yan Xiang. As for Yuan Yao's somewhat strange performance just now, in Li Yan's opinion, it should just be Yuan Yao's youthful nature, and the others should be nothing special.

With such thoughts, Li Yan just left quickly, what he didn't know was that from the moment he reported his name, he was targeted by Yuan Yao.

"I've seen Master Yan."

As soon as Yuan Yao saw Yan Xiang, he saluted him, and after receiving the memory of the genuine Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao also received the family education that the genuine Yuan Yao experienced, for some reason, for these etiquettes Yuan Yao came easily, without obscurity.

"Childe!"

Yan Xiang also returned the salute to Yuan Yao at this time, and the intelligence displayed by Yuan Yao on the way when the princes of the Eighteenth Road asked Dong was also surprising to Yan Xiang. Although Yuan Yao is still young, according to Yuan Yao's talent now, his future achievements are bound to be immeasurable.

Yan Xiang has already regarded Yuan Shu as the lord, and Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's only son, that is, the future heir of Yuan Shu's forces, the better Yuan Yao's talent is displayed, the happier Yan Xiang is.

"Master Yan, I wonder if you have a map of Nanyang County here?"

"Maps?" Yan Xiang's eyes narrowed, looked at Yuan Yao, and didn't say whether there was one, but asked, "What does Gongzi want that thing for?" ”

Seeing Yan Xiang's reaction, Yuan Yao knew that Yan Xiang must have a map of Nanyang County here, and he immediately rejoiced in his heart, and then he just had to think about how to persuade Yan Xiang to let him give him that map.

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan Yao's appearance, and had already pushed out Yuan Yao's mental activity by seven or eight points. Although Yuan Yao tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, he was not yet at home to cultivate his qi, and from Yuan Yao's expression at the moment, Yan Xiang could guess what kind of mood Yuan Yao was in now.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Xiang still said loudly: "Childe, you should know how important the map of Nanyang County is to Nanyang, if this map is obtained by someone with a heart, I am afraid it will not be good for me Nanyang." ”

Seeing Yan Xiang's reaction, Yuan Yao suddenly felt that it seemed that it would not be easy to persuade Yan Xiang to get the map of Nanyang County from him this time.

However, in the end, when Yuan Yao came out of Yan Xiang's official room, he still had a map in his hand, which was the map of Nanyang County. Although Yuan Yao persuaded Yan Xiang to let him see this map, Yan Xiang still had one condition, that is, this map could not leave the Taishou Mansion. This is not a big problem for Yuan Yao, as long as he completes that thing in the Taishou Mansion.

What Yuan Yao wants to do is the sand table, after participating in the Eighteenth Road Princes' discussion of the Dong Hui League, Yuan Yao also found that people in this period marched and fought with the help of maps, although the top masters can travel hundreds of miles a day, but this level of powerhouse is not suitable for you to let him explore the way.

Compared with the map, the sand table shows the topography of the mountains and rivers of a place more intuitively, which is very effective for the layout of the march.

And the more important reason why Yuan Yao wanted to make a sand table was to attract Yuan Shu's attention. Although the current Yuan Yao has become smart in the eyes of Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang, Ji Ling and others, Yuan Shu and others still regard Yuan Yao as a thirteen-year-old boy, although the current Yuan Yao is indeed a thirteen-year-old boy.

But that's not what Yuan Yao wants to see. If the historical trajectory has not changed, the next few years will be a few years of rapid development of several princes, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce have emerged in the past few years, laid a large territory, and Yuan Shu was driven out of Nanyang in history, to Huai, Ru generation.

Nanyang is the largest county in the world, although it is a little troublesome to govern because of the many families, but at least with Nanyang, Yuan Shu does not have to worry about the two aspects of military resources and food.

If you want to change the fate of Yuan Shu's defeat, then you must first hold the base of Nanyang and develop with Nanyang as the center.

However, if Yuan Yao wants to achieve this goal, he must attract Yuan Shu's attention and let Yuan Yao have enough say under Yuan Shu, only then can Yuan Yao change Yuan Shu's fate.

Yuan Shu's senses for Yuan Yao, a cheap father, are not bad, but I don't want him to go down the same path.
