On the other side, a few days after the text was issued, Yuan Tan led 100,000 troops from Qingzhou back to Jizhou, and ten miles away from Yecheng, I saw Yuan Shao with Yuan Shang and Yecheng Wenwu already waiting on the official road.

After Yuan Tan saw it, he hurriedly dismounted, and after walking a few steps, he knelt heavily and kowtowed: "My son meets his father."

"My son, please hurry up" Yuan Shao quickly helped Yuan Tan up, looked at the excited expression, calmed down a much more calm temperament, and said softly: "My son pacified Kong Rong, completed the unification of Qingzhou, protected the territory and the people, and loved the people, I am very pleased for my father, this time I sent troops to Cao Cao, can my son still fight?" ”

"Father's peace of mind, son's 100,000 army, daily drills, never slack, now the army is strong and strong, and Cao Thief is willing to be the pioneer when he goes out" Yuan Tan suddenly said proudly.

"Haha, good, good" Hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Prepare to meet the general" At this time, a middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade and two ears and shoulders came over and said respectfully.

"Xuande, haha" After Yuan Shao saw it clearly, he immediately laughed loudly, grabbed Liu Bei's hand, and did not start to be angry in the inner hall at all, and said gently: "It's been a long time, I came out this time, not to meet the fool, but to welcome Xuande"

Although Yuan Shao looked down on Liu Bei in his heart, but the war was imminent, Tian Feng was right, one more person would have more strength, Liu Bei, the imperial uncle, still had a great role in name, not to mention that he could contain Guan Yu.

"I'm ashamed, I have repeatedly defeated Cao Cao, lost Xuzhou, and my brothers were separated, so I really disappointed the high expectations of the general" Liu Bei said apologetically, without mentioning that Yuan Shao did not send troops to help, as if he had put everything on his own incompetence.

"Xuande doesn't have to be like this, that Cao Cao is treacherous and ruthless, and you are honest and benevolent, you will fall into his treacherous schemes, don't be sad, Shao will avenge you soon" Yuan Shao promised, very satisfied with Liu Bei's attitude.

"Thank you, General," Liu Bei said gratefully again.

Tian Feng, who had been following Yuan Shao, looked at Liu Bei with a calm face and a natural expression, and couldn't help frowning slightly, ordinary people have been defeated many times ago, and they have long been decadent, and this Liu Bei is like a nobody, what kind of mood does this need!

"Let's go, let's go back, Shao wants to pay a few glasses to Xuande and reminisce about the old feelings" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"Thank you, General"

When Yuan Shao took Liu Bei and Yuan Tan swaggered into the south gate of Yecheng, among the curious crowds on both sides, Mao Xian, who had cold eyes, suddenly appeared in front of him with a few people, looking at the carriage in front, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then disappeared quickly.

。。。。。

Not long after, outside an ordinary mansion in Yecheng, Mao Xian glanced around and knocked lightly on the door.

"Commander Mao, you're here," a servant immediately said respectfully after the door opened.

"Where's the Commander-in-Chief?" After Mao Xian led people into the house, he hurriedly asked,

"I'm waiting for you in the inner hall," the servant replied.

"Good!" Mao Xian bypassed a long corridor, passed through several gardens, came to a side building, and gently took out a token, and after the two guards saw it clearly, they immediately pushed it away.

After Mao Xian walked in, he saw Zhang Nan sitting on the main seat, followed by two people who were completely wrapped in black robes and couldn't see their faces clearly.

After Mao Xian glanced at it unexpectedly, he immediately hugged his fists and said, "Meet the commander-in-chief"

"No need to be polite, Liu Bei has entered the city," Zhang Nan asked.

"I entered, it was Yuan Gong who personally picked it up," Mao Xian replied.

"Okay, immediately send someone to find out if he is arranged outside or living in the General's Mansion," Zhang Nan ordered.

"No!"

"Hou Ye gave a death order this time, and Liu Bei must die, so it doesn't matter how much you pay, now that the battle of the Central Plains is about to break out, even if there is a slight problem, it will not affect the overall situation" Zhang Nan said fiercely.

"My subordinates understand," Mao Xian nodded.

"Didn't you tell Lord Tian Feng about this!" Zhang Nan asked solemnly.

"No, Lord Tian Feng has no idea," Mao Xian assured.

"Very good, in order to ensure the foolproof nature of this assassination, the person who executed it has already personally brought someone over, and your person can be used as an assistant" Zhang Nan looked at the shorter black-robed man next to him.

"No!" Mao Xian responded.

"I plan to tell you in a few days, you immediately go to Liu Bei's residence, and inquire about all his whereabouts, be fast," Zhang Nan reminded.

"No!" Mao Xian respectfully withdrew.

"Eighth child, it's up to you this time, you have to kill with one blow," Zhang Nan said solemnly.

"Don't worry, the poison on my needle is incurable, even the boss can't help it" The shorter black-robed man looked at the black-robed man next to him who had not said anything, and was a little taller and black-robed.

The tall black-robed man nodded slightly, revealing a group of eyes without a trace of fluctuation, as if everything was calm in his eyes.

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Okay, sixth brother, you go down first, I have something to tell the boss."

"No!" The short, black-robed man immediately walked out.

"Boss, how's things going?" Zhang Nan asked.

"Almost, absolute trust has been obtained, Yuan Shang's wife is pregnant, and he has announced that I will go with him to Cao Cao" The black-robed man said.

"Okay, this matter was ordered by the military advisor alone, when I came to the headquarters to inspect, I reminded him again, even Hou Ye didn't know yet, this is also the only place where I Zhang Nan hid Hou Ye, maybe Hou Ye will behead me directly after he knows, but even so, in order for Hou Ye to be able to ascend to the position of the lord of the north, for Hou Ye's great cause, even if the south is ten thousand deaths, he will not hesitate" Zhang Nan said with a fanatical face.

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, if Lord Hou kills anyone, he will never kill you, because you are Lord Hou's eyes in the dark, and your position is more important than anyone else" The black-robed man said affirmatively, and there was finally a trace of fluctuation between his tones, and it was obvious that he had absolute loyalty to Zhang Nan.

After Zhang Nan smiled faintly, he reminded: "But there is one thing you must remember, that is, in the battle of the Central Plains between Yuan Gong and Cao Cao, when there is no victory or defeat, you must not act, and once the victory is divided, if Cao Cao wins and the army is defeated, act immediately, do not hesitate at all, if it is discovered, all Nan will bear it all at once, and it has nothing to do with you."

The black-robed man was shocked, but still nodded and said, "Understood"

"From today until the day the war ends, in order to ensure top secrecy, you will completely disconnect from the black devil, everything can only depend on you, Nan firmly believes that as the most powerful spy of the black devil, you will definitely be able to complete this completely earth-changing step" Zhang Nan said.

"Commander-in-chief, rest assured" After the black-robed man gave a salute, he turned around and walked directly outside.

Looking at the lonely back of the black-robed man, Zhang Nan suddenly shouted with concern: "Second brother, you must be careful"

The black-robed man was shocked, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Big brother, don't worry!" My brother will be fine."
