When the three of them heard this, they were shocked, and hurriedly collected their troops into the city, and rushed all the way to Taishou Mansion with the sentry horse.

Tian Feng was arranging the grain truck in the house, and when he saw the three of them hurriedly returning with the sentry horse, he knew that something big must have happened.

The sentry horse rushed to Tian Feng, and the general reported it, and then retreated.

Tian Feng nervously read it carefully, and silently closed the military newspaper.

Hua Wenxuan saw Tian Feng frowning, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and asked tentatively, "How is the battle ahead?" ”

Tian Feng sighed heavily, stood up suddenly, threw the general newspaper on the ground, and scolded: "Ignorance! Shameless! Impotent! ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, picked up the military newspaper, looked at it, and said in a low voice: "Wen Chou and Yuan Tan Gongzi sneak attacked Xu Du on light horses, and there were delays along the way that caused Xu Du to be aware of the increased defense, and the city was trapped for several days to no avail, Yuan Gong waved his army to Guandu, besieged but not attacked, causing Cao Pi to take advantage of the night to wave his division south to break the enemy of Xu Du, Wen Chou died in battle, and Yuan Tan led his troops to retreat to Puyang with the intention of returning to Jizhou. Yuan Gongnai attacked Guandu, did not go down for ten days, returned in vain, and retreated to Yanjin. Send Yuan Shang back to Yecheng to prepare troops to carry grain and grass to fight again. ”

Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi looked at each other and smiled slightly. It seems that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao each have careful thoughts in their hearts, whenever there is a big war, they are most afraid that the generals will fight separately, and their own little abacus will crackle, completely ignoring mutual cooperation and mutual cooperation, which is a taboo for soldiers.

Tian Feng was depressed, and after returning to the bookcase, he worked hard to write, not many words were written, as if he remembered something, threw the pen aside, pushed the pen and ink book to the ground, and stood up suddenly, "How can a god-given opportunity fail!" How could I be a dignified 100,000 Hebei boys who can't beat the 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled of the Cao family? What the hell is Yuan Gong thinking? ”

Hua Wenxuan was about to talk, Tian Feng waved his sleeves, "Shut up!" Follow me to Yanjin to ask the reason, the time is running out in winter, and it is hopeless to let the Cao family drag it out until the middle of winter! ”

Hua Wenxuan pursed his lips and glanced at Sima Yi secretly, and the two silently followed Tian Feng out of the Taishou Mansion and went to Yuan Xi's Mansion.

Entering Yuan Xi's mansion, the porter said that Yuan Xi went out to transfer food, and when he left, he ordered that if there was any important military situation, please wait at the house, Tian Feng had no choice but to wait in the lobby with Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi.

Hua Wenxuan saw that it was a void, so he came to Tian Feng's side and asked: "Wenxuan encountered a group of mountain bandits outside Yecheng yesterday, and persuaded this group of gangsters to go south to join the army and listen to orders under Yuan Gong's account, I don't know what Tian Junshi wants?" ”

"Oh? How many centaurs are there? Tian Feng squinted his eyes and asked.

Hua Wenxuan saw that Tian Feng seemed to have doubts, and paused and said: "There are less than 100 people, all of them are defeated soldiers in the north, and there is no worry at home, and there is no food to eat if there is no field and no skills to join the army." ”

Tian Feng heard that there were few people, and he didn't care, he took down a volume of animal skins from the bookcase on the side, wrote a customs clearance document and a letter of recommendation, took out the small seal on his waist and stamped it and threw it with Hua Wenxuan, "Only a hundred people are not enough to succeed, even if the northern army is defeated, it is not suitable to go to Yuan Gong's account, I recommend going to Puyang to judge and match, if I can help the trial and match Puyang to capture Cao Ren, it will be a good thing!" ”

Hua Wenxuan didn't mind where he was recommended, as long as he could cross the Yellow River, Zhao Yun would have his own way to disappear and go to Qingzhou.

The three of them waited from the sun to the third pole until it was getting late, and this Yuan Xi still hadn't come back, but Yuan Tan came in in a hurry, "Xianyi!?" Where's the show!? My brother has something important to discuss! ”

Tian Feng and the others saw Yuan Tan's dusty face, presumably rushing back to Yecheng day and night, and hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, Zhen Mi in the backyard heard the noise in the front hall, and rushed to visit, but just ran into Yuan Tan head-on, and hurriedly gave a salute, "Long time no see, big brother has worked hard all the way!" ”

Yuan Tan glanced at Zhen Mi, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Brother and sister smiled, only to find out that Xianyi was not there when they entered the mansion?" ”

"My husband went out to fetch food, and he won't come back until very late," Zhen Mi saw that Tian Feng and the others were there, and gestured slightly, "You guys will do it for a while, and I'll arrange some tea." ”

"There's Brother and Sister Lao!" Yuan Tan arched his hand and walked up to the hall.

Tian Feng hurriedly came up, "Eldest son, why did this happen?" Our army is obviously several times larger than the enemy, even if the army is divided into two places, it will not suffer such a big defeat, the old man is subject to the rear, I don't know the situation, please explain the eldest son! ”

Yuan Tan glared at Hua Wenxuan hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "The third brother's heart is so ruthless!" In order to snatch the inheritance, the secret Tongwen Chou delayed all the way, and the light cavalry sneaked attack, and the two-day journey was actually delayed for four days, and there was not much rations left! My father also seems to have some protection, and the soldiers besieged and did not attack after arriving at Guandu, causing Cao Pi to return to help in the starry night, they are not kind to me and unjust! Forcing Wen Chou to take the battle, I will lead the army to retreat to Puyang, so as to save my life! Otherwise! I'm afraid I'll not even be able to come back to see you! ”

"The eldest prince is confused!" Tian Feng complained: "Such a big war is related to the life and death of the Cao and Yuan families, how can the eldest prince do something bad because of his selfish desires?" Wen Chou is a famous general in Hebei, and if he folds, the army will inevitably be unstable, and the light cavalry is the elite of my Hebei, and once it is destroyed, it will inevitably hurt the fundamental! It is common for princes to compete with each other, and you can't abolish your father-in-law for personal reasons! ”

Yuan Tan was originally depressed, but he was robbed by Tian Feng again, and he was even more annoyed, and scolded: "As you said, I deserve to stay in Xudu and fight to the death, and give my father and third brother time to break the official crossing, right?" I deserve to make a wedding dress for my third brother? Tian Feng, where are you standing? How much benefit did the third brother give you? ”

"The eldest son! You! Tian Feng was speechless for a while, and his face turned red.

Yuan Tan was unforgiving, and pretended to suddenly realize, "I said why did you keep contradicting your father before the southern expedition, and you were imprisoned Nanpi, it turned out that you didn't want to shed our troubled waters?" Now satisfied? ”

Tian Feng almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out, he was so angry that he threw his sleeves and rushed out of the door, Hua Wenxuan just wanted to follow, Sima Yi gently tugged at his sleeve, and Hua Wenxuan stood silently in place.

Yuan Tan left Tian Feng angrily, and looked at Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi with a sneer, "The two of you have come from afar, but they are distinguished guests, the second brother has not returned, I, as the eldest brother, have to treat you well, so that outsiders will say that my Yuan family does not understand etiquette!" ”

Hua Wenxuan was about to argue, Yuan Tan turned around and ordered: "Go and arrange a table of wine and food, I will entertain the two distinguished guests here, and wait for the second brother to come back!" ”

Sima Yi pulled Hua Wenxuan into a seat, and after a while, the wine and food were served, Yuan Tan picked up a jar of wine and filled it with Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi, "It's hard to travel all the way, make three bowls first, and do the friendship of the landlord!" ”

Sima Yi saw that Yuan Tan intended to make things difficult for Hua Wenxuan, so he was silent, and quietly flashed to the side, Yuan Tan didn't seem to see him, and specifically asked Hua Wenxuan to drink and talk, it seems that he has to overthrow Hua Wenxuan today.

Hua Wenxuan was not afraid in his heart, after all, he was a person who had drunk distilled spirits, and his alcohol tolerance was far stronger than that of these people who enjoyed water and wine, and after drinking nearly ten jars in a row, Hua Wenxuan's face still did not change, but Yuan Tan's eyes were already blurred and his speech was slurred.

Zhen Mi saw that Yuan Xi had not come back, and the three people in the hall drank for a long time, and felt more and more inappropriate, so they came forward to serve tea, wanting to persuade Yuan Tan to go back to the house to rest.

Hua Wenxuan and Sima Yi naturally understood, and they got up and were about to leave, but Yuan Tan didn't know what nerves he had, so he got up and stopped, "If you don't get drunk today, why do you run away?" ”

"Big brother overdosed!" Zhen Mi was afraid that Yuan Tan would lose etiquette, so she hurriedly motioned to the maid to go up and help, "Big brother, it's better to go back to the house to rest earlier, sister-in-law must be in a hurry!" ”

Yuan Tan blushed, stared at Zhen Mi and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but my brother and sister have become more and more symbolic, and the second brother is really blessed!"
