Qingzhou is the closest to Youzhou, and when Xun Zhan arrived in Qingzhou, he secretly met Guo Tu first and gave him a gift. Guo Tu is also envious of Xun Zhan following Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi's talent is better than Yuan Tan, of course, Xun Zhan also heard Guo Tu's thoughts from Guo Tu's words, although he looks down on Guo Tu, but Guo Tu, as Yuan Tan's chief strategist, is still worthy of Yuan Xi's wooing, so he comforted in a low voice: "Guo Gong is talented, the second son naturally knows that the eldest son has some misunderstandings about the second son, and I hope that Guo Gong can say a few good words in front of the eldest prince in the future." Guo Tu accepted Yuan Xi's gift, but also for the sake of his future, he couldn't do anything and blocked the road, and he was also busy promising to live up to his trust.

On the second day, Xun Zhan officially visited Yuan Tan with gifts, and Yuan Tan's subordinate advisers Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Chen Lin were all there, as well as military generals Wang Zhao, Cen Jian, and Peng An. Xun Zhan respectfully greeted Yuan Tan and said: "Meet the eldest prince, the end of the year is approaching, the second prince's special subordinates will bring some small gifts, I hope the eldest prince will accept it with a smile." ”

Although Yuan Tan didn't like Yuan Xi, since people came with gifts, it was not good not to give face, so he didn't smile, and reluctantly thanked: "Second brother has a heart, my Qingzhou is not as rich as Youzhou, when my father ordered me to come, there was only one county in the plains, and I fought in the south and north over the years to get the entire Qingzhou." ”

Xun Zhan naturally understood what Yuan Tan meant, I relied on my own conquest, and you Yuan Xi relied on your father to help you conquer Youzhou, and you should give me a gift. Xun Zhan is a sleek person, so naturally he will not offend Yuan Tan, but he can't insult Yuan Xi, so he replied: "The eldest prince is eloquent and strategic, and the world knows that he almost single-handedly pacifies Qingzhou, which is really an example for the second prince to learn." Now the second prince is also expanding his territory openly for the Lord, expelling foreign barbarians, making the northern foreigners compete to submit and pay tribute. The second prince naturally did not dare to forget the teachings of the eldest prince, so he ordered his subordinates to send congratulatory gifts. ”

Guo Tu saw that the time was ripe, and he also persuaded Yuan Tan to say: "Lord, everyone knows the respect of the second prince for the lord, and he also specially ordered Mr. Xun Zhan to come, although our Qingzhou is not rich, but the eldest prince is a bold person." After Guo Tu finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan understood, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and food to entertain Xun Zhan. After the banquet, Yuan Tan asked his subordinates, Yuan Xi can buy people's hearts so much, I am afraid that my biggest opponent in the future will not be the third child, but Yuan Xi.

This is also the most worrying place for everyone, Xin commented: "The second son is indeed good at buying people's hearts, and it is extremely unfavorable to the lord in the long run, but the son is the eldest son, if the lord can also follow the example of the second son and subdue the heart of the general, the position of the prince is none other than the lord." Everyone thinks it is reasonable, and their lord is the eldest son and the rightful heir. So Yuan Tan also personally prepared gifts and went to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao.

Yuan Xi left the generals to guard Youzhou in case of a surprise attack. Yuan Xi only let Gao Shun's trap camp follow, and for convenience, he did not let his relatives accompany him, and brought a large number of gifts to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao. The deeds of Yuan Xi subduing Karasuma and killing Su Li have already spread to Jizhou, and the people of Yecheng also regard Yuan Xi as Yuan Shao's successor, and warmly welcome Yuan Xi's arrival.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi arrived in Yecheng first, and when they saw that the people welcomed Yuan Xi so much, they were unhappy in their hearts, which was also seen by Yuan Shang, and they were also jealous of Yuan Xi, so Yuan Shang found Yuan Tan and explained: "Big brother, you and I have been fighting for many years, but I didn't expect it to be just cheaper for the second brother, and now you have seen it, I don't know what you plan?" ”

Yuan Tan didn't expect that his third brother was also very scheming, it was good to have one less enemy and one more ally, and if the opponent was the third brother in the future, it would be better than Yuan Xi, so he tried: "The third brother is planning to cooperate with me?" Yuan Shang nodded and said: "With Yuan Xi being such a city, there is a knife hidden in his smile, if his father passes on to him one day, I am afraid he will not be able to tolerate you and me!" The two coincided and were ready to deal with Yuan Xi together.

Yuan Xi didn't expect Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to be so vicious, but now in Yecheng, the two brothers didn't dare to do too much, but they couldn't resist the world's tongues. Yuan Xi is better at being a person than the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, not only giving gifts to Yuan Shao to win favor, but also buying the people around Yuan Shao. When Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shao to crusade against Xianbei in the coming year, he could send troops to help.

Yuan Shang saw that Yuan Xi was going to crusade against Xianbei again, and he wanted to ask Yuan Shao to send troops, and he would definitely be able to make meritorious contributions, so he wanted to sabotage Yuan Xi's plan and said: "Father, think twice, Cao Cao since the last defeat, he has tried his courage and made great efforts, and he still broke the Jingzhou army in Wancheng before, and then defeated Liu Bei in the ancient city, and defeated Sun Quan in Guangling, and his morale is flourishing, and he often wants to capture Luoyang and recapture the Son of Heaven. If my Jizhou army goes north, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to send troops to recapture the Son of Heaven, all the previous achievements will be in vain. ”

Yuan Shao loved Yuan Shang, and felt that what he said was reasonable, and he didn't want to snub Yuan Xi, and when he was in a dilemma, Yuan Tan said: "The conquest of foreign tribes is a major national event, and the sons still have 100,000 elite soldiers, although they have to guard against Cao Cao's Xuzhou army, but they can send 50,000 to support the second brother." Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said: "It's so best, with your brother to help, why worry about big things?" However, I am a father who naturally wants to give a big gift, and in the second half of this year, Jizhou will have a bumper harvest, and I will send a trial to supply grain and grass. Although Yuan Xi didn't understand why Yuan Tan wanted to help him, he was also grateful to Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan.

After dispersing, Yuan Shang stepped forward and asked Yuan Tan: "Why do you regret cooperating with Yuan Xi?" Yuan Tan said with a smile: "How can the third brother be so smart and not understand the hard work of the eldest brother, if you want to deal with Yuan Xi, this is a good opportunity, you and I have no military power in Yecheng, and this time Yuan Xi only brought more than 1,000 soldiers, but Yuan Xi was solved halfway, so I must support Yuan Xi in the name of convenient dispatch." Yuan Shang also took a deep breath, he didn't expect Yuan Tan to be so bold and dare to deal with Yuan Xi so blatantly, so naturally he also kept his thoughts, guarded against Yuan Tan, and pretended to praise: "It's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully, if there is a need for the third brother, please ask the eldest brother to speak." Although Yuan Tan looked down on Yuan Shang, he really needed his help at this time, he was well-informed in Yecheng, so it was convenient to inquire about Yuan Xi's news, and he also promised that after the matter was completed, Yuan Shang would have Jizhou and Merge State, and he would have Qingzhou and Youzhou.

A few days later, Yuan Xi said goodbye to Yuan Shao and went to Luoyang, Yuan Tan had already gone back to prepare, Yuan Shang came to say goodbye, and apologized for refuting Yuan Xi last time, saying that he was really out of consideration for the overall situation, and hoped that Yuan Xi could understand. Although Yuan Xi knew Yuan Shang's thoughts, he didn't want to worry about it, so he came in the direction of Luoyang. Yuan Shang sighed secretly: "Second brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, just blame you for being too deep in the city and greedy for things that shouldn't belong to you." So, Yuan Shang told Yuan Tan the news of Yuan Xi's trip to Luoyang, hoping that he would prepare early.

When Yuan Xi arrived in Luoyang again, Luoyang at this time had gone through half a year of development, and it was really incomparable, and it had gradually taken the prototype of the capital of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Xi first went to the palace to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and the Han court at this time was much more lively than before, not only Xun Yu, Sima Yi, Zhang Xiu and others, but also Zhong Xuan, Kong Rong, and Yang Biao who were concerned about the Han family. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was able to regain his freedom, and he was very grateful to Yuan Xi, busy with his life, and praised: "Jia has already known the heroic deeds of Yuan Aiqing's northern expedition to foreign tribes, which is really happy. ”
