In the 4th year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao destroyed the power of Gongsun Zan and unified the north, and his power was extremely prosperous.

Yanjing, the temporary station, Yuan Shao and his strategists and generals held a grand banquet to celebrate. Yuan Shao raised his glass and celebrated: "Thanks to your intentions, Gongsun has been destroyed, the north is worry-free, and everyone is not drunk today." After speaking, he laughed happily and sang and danced at the same time. The people under his command also drank happily and did not mention anything. However, there are always a few disappointed people in such a scene, or sober people, who break this wild shout: "Lord, although the grandson is destroyed, Zhang Yan of Montenegro is still there, don't be careless!" ”

Yuan Shao was in a state of drunken life and death at this time, and someone reminded him at this time that he was afraid that he was going to touch his head. Yuan Shao's face was full of displeasure, and he asked undoubtedly: "A group of rogues in Montenegro, Gongsun has been destroyed, how dare he offend the prestige of our army, Yuan Hao's words are exaggerated!" Tian Feng is very wise, but he is not good at words, and he just made a mistake, and when he was about to admonish again, a yin and yang strange voice sounded: "Lord, Mr. Yuan Hao thinks that he already has a way to deal with the Black Mountain Army?" "The person who spoke was also Guo Tu, an important strategist under Yuan Shao, who had always been at odds with Tian Feng, and when he encountered such a good opportunity, he naturally had to blame him.

Yuan Shao was also a little drunk, knowing Tian Feng's ugly temper, he softened his tone and asked, "If Mr. Yuan Hao has a clever plan, this general will listen to him." Tian Feng just wanted to remind Yuan Shao not to get carried away, and he didn't have a way to deal with Zhang Yan of Montenegro, so he didn't know how to answer for a while. Just when he was in trouble, Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, took the initiative to step forward and said: "Father, I think Mr. Yuan Hao is just in a hurry, not deliberately ruining the fun. ”

Although Yuan Shao is so happy and arrogant, he is very fond of his children, and when he sees that it is Yuan Xi, he can't say anything. Because of such a fuss, most of everyone's drinking spirit has gone, and Yuan Shao's most powerful strategist admonished: "Yuan Hao's worries are not reasonable, and I hope that the lord will arrange suitable candidates to manage Youzhou as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan, looked at it silently, he knew very well in his heart that Guo Tu was the eldest brother's adviser, and the trial was the third brother's cronies, and the external troubles had not been solved and the internal struggle had begun, which was not what he wanted to see, so he took the initiative to come forward again and admitted: "The child is willing to share his father's worries and stay in Youzhou to exterminate Montenegro." ”

The eyes of everyone under his hands also lit up, how could this second son of Yuan, who usually looked weak, be willing to stay in the bitter cold land of Youzhou to deal with Montenegro today? But it's better for someone to come out and share this responsibility than to stay here yourself. The eldest Yuan Tan is the happiest, the second child stays here, which is equivalent to automatically giving up the opportunity to become the heir, just relying on Yuan Shang Huangkou Xiaoer, how can he be his opponent, he took the initiative to step forward and encourage: "Second brother, courage is commendable, but you must not fall into the prestige of my Yuan family, and you must kill all those rogues in Montenegro." Yuan Tan exuded a murderous aura between his words, one was to show his bravery and decisiveness in front of his father, and the other was to threaten this second brother to stay in your Youzhou honestly.

Yuan Shang is also a smart person, so he naturally wants to win over Yuan Xi, and even more so to behave in front of his father, so he kindly persuaded: "Second brother, have you thought it through, how long will it take for our two brothers to get together in Youzhou, and are you willing to have a family in Jizhou?" Yuan Shao looked at the performance of the eldest and the third, and nodded with satisfaction to the third, and was even more resolute in the idea in his heart!

Yuan Xi knows who Yuan Shang said about the Jizhou family, but unfortunately this Yuan Xi is not the other Yuan Xi, how can he miss a woman who has never met, the current Yuan Xi is the soul of the martyrs who died during the Anti-Japanese War reborn in the body of this Yuan Xi, and I hope to protect the family and defend the country and protect one side. So, Yuan Xi looked at his father and his brother and nodded resolutely: "Thank you eldest brother and third brother, I have made up my mind." At the same time, he turned around and bowed respectfully to his father, "I hope that my father will be perfect!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xi distressedly, stepped forward to help him up, and comforted: "Xi'er has really grown up, I am very happy that you can share your father's worries, what do you need to tell your father?" "Yuan Xi still has some knowledge of the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Yuan family now seems to be at the peak of power, but will be defeated by Cao Cao in the next battle of Guandu, what is even more terrifying is the Wuhu Chaos in a few decades, in order to avoid the recurrence of these histories, it is necessary to preserve the strength. So Yuan Xi stepped forward and said: "The child only needs his father to leave 20,000 elite soldiers for me to garrison Youzhou, and I hope that General Zhang He and Mr. Xun Zhan can help me deal with Youzhou affairs." ”

Yuan Shao was still very happy at this time, his second son, who was usually weak and timid, didn't know whether he was drunk or bolder, he only needed 20,000 elite soldiers, although he was not taken into account by himself, there were tens of thousands, and he still symbolically solicited the opinions of his subordinates, and first looked at Zhang He and Xun Zhan: "I don't know if General Zhang and Youruo are willing to stay in Youzhou?" Although both of them knew that they didn't have much choice, they were still very surprised, why did this second son choose himself, did he think that he could subdue Montenegro with just 20,000 soldiers?

The two of them only hesitated slightly, but Guo Tu seized the opportunity and despised him: "Lord, I think General Zhang and Mr. Xun are not sure that they can subdue Montenegro with 20,000 elite soldiers, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang He glaring at Guo Tu fiercely, and said angrily: "How can I, Zhang He, be a cowardly like you, who can only tell right and wrong, the lord has an order, and I should obey it!" Xun Zhan also explained: "Thanks to the second son, I am willing to stay in Youzhou to help the second son deal with things." ”

Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao was also looking at him, as if he was displeased, and he also shut up in reality. After hearing Zhang He and Xun Zhan's words, Yuan Shao also nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the others, only to see that Tian Feng wanted to speak, but was stopped by frustration and pulled his sleeves. This Tian Feng always contradicts himself, and today's incident is also because of him, so Yuan Shao announced his decision in an unquestionable tone: "Although there is nothing to worry about in Youzhou Black Mountain, but the border fortress must beware of foreign barbarians, so this general decided to order Yuan Xi to be the assassin of Youzhou, and Zhang He, Xun Zhan, and Tian Feng assisted my son, commanding 30,000 elite soldiers to guard Youzhou." ”

With one more Tian Feng and 10,000 elite soldiers, Yuan Xi was naturally grateful to this father, and Zhang He and Xun Zhan were also happy to accept the order. Only Tian Feng was stunned there, with a chill in his heart, it was really a companion like a tiger, once he made a mistake, it was irreparable, and he could be regarded as seeing the ruthlessness of the lord, arching his hand, and agreeing. The people below also shook their heads, sympathizing with Tian Feng's experience, but they were only frustrated and thoughtful.
