Yuan Xi is not a person with a strong personality. When Yuan Shao chose the heir, he directly ignored Yuan Xi, first, Yuan Xi's identity was a concubine, and second, Yuan Xi's personality was not loved by Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao's personality is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, he still has real materials, otherwise he will not be able to win Hebei only with the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. And the difference between the concubines is nothing in Yuan Shao's eyes, he himself also belongs to the concubine in the Yuan family, and the identity of the concubine is Yuan Shu instead of Yuan Shao, but in the end, the most promising Yuan family is Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu has already become a dry bone in the mound.

Yuan Shao's three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan is the most similar to Yuan Shao, but the third son Yuan Shang is the most loved by Yuan Shao. Infighting is often the most exhausting behavior. If Yuan Shao could help Yuan Shang to the throne in public before his death, there would be no infighting in the Yuan family, and Yuan Xi would not have a chance to pick up the bargain. But the world is so impermanent, Yuan Shao's indecision led to the division of the Yuan family, and in the end, Yuan Xi, who was the most unsuitable for being the lord, was cheapened.

Yuan Xi's personality is a little cowardly, saying that it is good to say that it is easy to be at ease, and if it is difficult to say that it is soft and easy to be manipulated by others. Tian Feng is Yuan Xi's teacher, but in the final analysis, he is still Yuan Xi's courtier. But when Yuan Xi faced Tian Feng, don't say the word opposition, he obeyed his words like a grandson, and Tian Feng said whatever he said. As a prince of Hebei, but he has no opinions of his own, it can be said that Yuan Xi, the lord of Hebei, has failed very much.

However, Yuan Xi's failure made Liu Xie, and from this point of view, Liu Xie should be grateful to Yuan Xi. If the owner of such a large place in Hebei is not Yuan Xi but Liu Bei or Sun Quan, then Liu Xie will have a good look. Of course, assumptions are assumptions after all, and the current reality is that the imperial court is about to recover Hebei, once Hebei is pacified, the remaining Jiangdong and Jingnan are equivalent to a piece of meat placed in the mouth of the imperial court, and the imperial court can eat it whenever it wants.

Now that Liu Xie has let Yuan Xi go back and think about it clearly, according to Liu Xie's judgment, Yuan Xi will not produce any more moths. The trend of the times, stubborn resistance can indeed make the Yuan family persist for a while longer, but the consequences are also obvious. For the stubborn Yuan family, the imperial court will not let it go easily. I believe that even if Yuan Xi didn't expect it, Tian Feng beside him would help him think of it.

Liu Xie thought that Yuan Xi would come to see him with a satisfactory answer at noon tomorrow, but he didn't expect that in the evening, someone would come to see him before Yuan Xi.

"This is Badun?" Looking at the dead head placed on the table, Liu Xie asked the Karasuma envoy who came to visit.

"If you go back to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, this is indeed the head of the traitor." Su Fuyan replied respectfully.

“…… What is your purpose in sending the heads of the people of Bunton? Liu Xie asked deliberately. If you want to talk about the purpose of Su Fuyan's visit, even if he doesn't say Liu Xie, he can guess eight or nine points. Liaoxi, the old nest of the Karasuma people, is now being swept away by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and the latest news sent back says that the two have wiped out nearly 20 large and small tribes of the Karasuma people, and nearly 20,000 prisoners have been taken back to Qingzhou by ship in batches. And not only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the two "scourges" raging in western Liaoning, after the main force of the Han army solved the Qianren, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Pang De have respectively led their troops from the grassland into Youji, among which Ma Chao led his troops straight to Liaoxi, intending to help Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, while Pang De led his troops straight to Beiping, intending to close the door and beat the dogs and cut off the return of the Karasuma people.

The Karasuma people are scared! There are Xianbei people in the front, and there are Xianbei people in the back, and it seems that none of the grassland tribes that are enemies of the Han Dynasty will have a good end. The Karasuma people did not want to fight the Han, so they sacrificed their usual tricks in the past, admitting if they could not win. The Han people in the Central Plains have a good face, as long as they are soft, they will always give themselves a way to live.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. The Karasuma people apparently did not grasp the meaning of this art of war. The reason why they sent the head of the man was because he thought that the current Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was the same as the Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty in the past, as long as he handed over the "culprit", and then showed a remorse for changing his ways, then he could be forgiven by the Great Han. It's no wonder they think so, after all, in the past, the Han Dynasty did this to the alien races who did not obey the royal way, and always wanted to convince people with virtue, but the result was that they did not remember to eat, and the loss was eaten again and again.

Liu Xie knows the temperament of the grassland people very well, and knows that talking to these people about convincing people with virtue is playing the piano to the cow. Now that the big man is strong, they are afraid, and naturally they don't dare to make mistakes. But once the big man is weak, these white-eyed wolves can't wait to pounce on them and bite hard.

If you want to completely solve the hidden dangers of the grassland, the best way is to use the culture of the Han people to incorporate these alien races into the Han Dynasty. You have me, I have you, fifty-six nationalities in the future, Liu Xie doesn't mind adding a few more brothers and sisters in the future. Rather than passively accept integration, it is better to take the initiative in your own hands.

Thinking that sending a ruined human head and verbal surrender would make the big man let them go, this is the wishful thinking of the Karasuma people. Taking advantage of your illness, it is Liu Xie's habit to ask for your life, at the moment Karasuma is uncertain, and there is a fire in the backyard, if you don't clean you up at this time, do you have to wait for you to recover before you do it, isn't that a fool?

Su Fuyan never dreamed that today's Han Tianzi would play a hooligan without scrupling at all. He was deceived by Liu Xie and didn't know it, and Su Fuyan agreed without hesitation to Liu Xie's request to let him take Lou Ban and Wu Yan to the Han army camp to plead guilty. In Su Fuyan's view, Liu Xie is the son of the Han Dynasty, and he will not do anything to take hostages. But Liu Xie is ready to do this!

When Su Fuyan happily went back to find Louban and Wuyan, Liu Xie also began to prepare intensively. Capture the thief and capture the king first, but at the same time, you must also make preparations with both hands to prevent the thieves from breaking out. Seeing that the sky was slightly bright, Liu Xie was about to rest for a while, but he didn't want to be told that Yuan Xi was coming.

“…… Tell him that he will come back later, it is very immoral to disturb people's dreams...... Wait a minute, ......" Liu Xie hurriedly stopped Guan Ping, who was about to reply to Yuan Xi, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Tanzhi, did Yuan Xi come alone or with others?" ”

"There were two other people who came with Yuan Xi."

"Who is it?"

"Tian Feng, Zhang Nan."

“…… Go and get them. Liu Xie pondered for a moment and instructed Guan Pingdao.

With a nervous mood, Yuan Xi came to Liu Xie's big tent, and when he entered, he saw a human head on the table, which frightened Yuan Xi and couldn't help but take a step back, and Tian Feng, who was following behind, didn't watch out, and hit Yuan Xi's back with his head.

"Are you alright, sir?" Yuan Xi hurriedly turned around and asked.

"It's okay, why is the second son panicking?" Tian Feng waved his hand and asked curiously.

“…… There was a human head on the table. ”

“…… What's all the fuss about? Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Xi dissatisfied. Are there still fewer heads? As for being taken aback?

After seeing who the head was on the table, Tian Feng immediately understood why Yuan Xi was panicking, it turned out to be the head of the person, didn't he slip away in advance? Why is it here now?

"Mr. Tian, do you look familiar?" Liu Xie directly skipped Yuan Xi and asked Tian Fengdao.

“…… The saint really has great powers, but he didn't expect that the dignified Karasuma King Bandun also said that he would die when he died. Tian Feng said slowly.

"Mr. Tian, this is a misunderstanding, this is not something I ordered someone to kill, but a person from Karasuma to give it to me. Mr. Tian thinks why did the Karasuma people kill Tamun? Liu Xie shook his head and asked.

“…… It is nothing more than wanting to use this person's head to appease the anger of the saint and find a way for the Karasuma people to live. Holy Lord, I don't know if what you said is right? ”

"Mr. Tian is really powerful, then Mr. Tian might as well guess again, do you think this method of the Karasuma people works?" Liu Xie applauded lightly and asked Tian Fengdao again.

"Uh...... Looking at the attitude of the saint at this time, I am afraid that the hope of the Karasuma people will be disappointed. I wonder what the Holy Lord plans to do with the Karasuma people? ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have killed more than one foreigner. Qiang, Di, Nanban, Xiongnu, Xianbei, now only the Shanyue in Jiangdong can't be cleaned up for the time being, how can he Karasuma people be an exception. If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and I will not do the stupid thing of raising a tiger for trouble. ”

"Holy Wisdom." Tian Feng praised when he heard this.

"Mr. Tian has won the award. At the moment, there is a small favor that needs Mr. Tian's help, and I hope that Mr. Tian will not refuse. ”

“…… Holy Lord, please speak. ”

"You have also seen that the head of this Badun was sent by the Karasuma people, and I didn't tell them that the head of Badun was given for nothing, but told them to let Lou Ban, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan come to the camp to plead in person."

“…… Capture the thief and capture the king first? Tian Feng frowned and asked.

"Ahh~ Mr. Tian is really my bosom friend, you thought of it before I said it. Lou Ban is the biological son of the previous Karasuma King Qiu Liju, and now that the battle is over, Lou Ban has become the new Karasuma King, and Su Muyan and Wuyan are also important leaders among the Karasuma people, as long as these three people fall into our hands, the Karasuma people can only be at our mercy. ”

“…… So what does the Holy One want me to do? Tian Feng asked.

"It is true that the thief captures the king first, as long as Lou Ban, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan enter the Han army camp, it is up to me whether they can get out or not. But the army of the Karasuma people is still there, and in order to prevent them from scattering and fleeing, I hope that you can divide your troops and garrison the main roads to intercept the Karasuma people's rout. ”

"Second son, what do you think?" Tian Feng did not agree to Liu Xie, but asked Yuan Xi's opinion. Liu Xie knew that Tian Feng did this to remind himself that it was Yuan Xi who made the decision in Hebei, not Tian Feng. But Yuan Xi didn't understand what Tian Feng meant, and when he heard Tian Feng ask, he replied as usual: "Mr. thinks it's feasible." ”

Tian Feng couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this, he wanted to take this opportunity to make Yuan Xi the main person in charge of this negotiation, but he didn't want Yuan Xi to fail to understand his intentions. Although they all want to surrender, the treatment of the main person in charge is higher than that of the secondary, which is also the last benefit that Tian Feng fought for Yuan Xi.

But it doesn't matter if Yuan Xi doesn't understand, Liu Xie just understands. Seeing that Tian Feng's face was a little ugly, Liu Xie kindly comforted: "Mr. Tian doesn't have to be like this, I understand your intentions, and I will not let you down." I just wonder if Mr. Tian will disappoint me? ”

"Holy Lord, rest assured, Tian Feng will go back and make arrangements, and he will not let Karasuma have a fish that slips through the net and harms the party." Tian Feng almost patted his chest and assured Liu Xie.

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news for a long time. By the way, Mr. Tian, I also bother you to inform the generals in the army that my Han has always had clear rewards and punishments, and for their personal future, don't be lazy this time. Liu Xie said that at the end, he added uneasily.

"The saint can rest assured, he knows it in his heart, and he will retire."

"Tanzhi, send Mr. Tian for me."

……

After leaving the Han army camp, Yuan Xi didn't understand what was going on? Didn't you say you had come to discuss the surrender? Why did you leave without saying a word?

"Sir......" Yuan Xi wanted to ask Tian Feng, but he didn't know how to ask for a while.

"Second son, you don't have to worry, the Holy Lord has already agreed to the surrender of our army."

"Huh? When? Yuan Xi asked in surprise.

"......" Tian Feng looked at Yuan Xi speechlessly, and decided not to discuss this topic with Yuan Xi anymore, so as not to be angry.

“…… Sir, am I saying the wrong thing again? ”

“…… You're not wrong, my bad. Tian Feng coped, then turned his head to Zhang Nan on the side and said, "General Zhang, do you still remember what the saint said before?" ”

"The last will remember."

"Just remember, go back and tell the generals that if you want to continue to make a living in the army in the future, then this time you will be full of spirit. I don't blame you for not being able to deal with the people of the court, but if you can't even clean up the Karasuma people, then it's better to leave the army as soon as possible and find another way to make a living. ”

"Don't worry, this will definitely be brought to you. It's just a military advisor, is the Holy One really willing to accept us? Zhang Nan asked a little uneasy in the end.

"General Zhang, before you suspect this, you should first think about whether you have something in yourself that is worthy of being deceived by the current saint. If you want to say that today's Han Dynasty, there are many fierce generals in the army, and you Zhang Nan is considered the number one in my Hebei army, but you can be thrown into the court generals......"

"The last general understands that with the ability of the last general, it is indeed not ranked." Although Tian Feng did not finish speaking, Zhang Nan had already understood the meaning he wanted to express. Zhang Nan is also convinced, compared to Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Ma Chao and other generals who have been famous for a long time, he Zhang Nan is indeed nothing.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was like this, Tian Feng didn't say anything unpleasant, but encouraged Zhang Nandao: "General Zhang, although you can't lead an army alone, it's more than enough to be a deputy general, as long as you make achievements in the next war against the Karasuma people, with the temperament of today's saints, you will not be treated badly." ”

"There is no need to say it, the last general already knows what to do in his heart."

Returning to his own camp, Zhang Nan left first and summoned the generals to inform these people who were already waiting for the results of the Han army's camp. And Yuan Xi followed Tian Feng back to his big tent, as Yuan Xi's mentor, it was Tian Feng's obligation to solve his disciples' doubts.

For Yuan Xi's disciple, Tian Feng can be said to be doing his best, breaking up and crumpling the journey to explain and analyze to Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi is not a fool after all, after listening to Tian Feng's explanation, he finally suddenly realized, but he didn't expect that Liu Xie had already discussed with Tian Feng about the surrender of the Hebei army to the imperial court.

"Sir, this did not leave a written document, in case the Holy Lord repented......" Yuan Xi asked Tian Feng with some concern.

"No, although the saint is not a gentleman today, he is very sincere to the people of the Han Dynasty. Second son, look at the current situation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, are you still afraid that the Holy Lord will rebel against you? ”

"But Cao Cao and Sun Ce are both capable people......"

"Second son, don't be presumptuous. According to you, now that our army is in a desperate situation, why should the Holy One take such a step to accept our surrender? His army will soon be slaughtered from the grassland to the banks of the Yellow River, and by that time we will have no home, no way to go to heaven, no way to enter the earth, and it will not be more convenient to surrender at that time. ”

"Uh...... But I'm still a little worried......"

"If the second son is really afraid, then remember one thing, be a low-key person in the future, with the temper of the saint today, as long as you don't go against him, he won't bother to bully you." Tian Feng said to Yuan Xi a little helplessly.

Yuan Xi is very good at low-key things, he has always been very low-key, and he has not been high-profile a few times since he was so old. With Tian Feng's persuasion, Yuan Xi was finally relieved. He doesn't need to come forward for the matter of dispatching troops, and Tian Feng doesn't need to do any pre-war mobilization, Zhang Nan has already explained his words to his colleagues, and everyone understands that if you want to look at it differently today, the key is to see if you can deal with the Karasuma people in the future, and everything else is nonsense.

It is a matter of their own future and fate, the generals of the Yuan army are full of spirits, taking advantage of the fact that the Karasuma people have not yet arrived in the past few days, the generals can be said to have tried their best to boost morale, and they only look forward to a good future when they do something to the Karasuma people. But the promises of the generals of the Yuan army are far from being effective as a sentence today, and the soldiers of Yuan are not interested in fighting, and their own future is uncertain, who still has the heart to work for others.

But Liu Xie is the son of today, his promise, the gold content is very high, just the promise that he will be rewarded for meritorious deeds in accordance with the rules of the Han army, it mobilized the heart of Yuan Jun's soldiers. It stands to reason that the two armies were still hostile before, but in the final analysis, they were both Han Chinese, and the Karasuma people who were about to deal with them were outsiders.

When there is an external enemy, it is natural that we should be unanimous with the outside world. This reason, coupled with Liu Xie's personal promise, made Yuan Jun start to gear up and down, waiting for the Karasuma people who didn't know that there was a big pit waiting for him to take the initiative to jump.

……

"Su Muyan, are the Han people credible?" Lou Ban asked about Su Muyan again, and after listening to Su Fuyan's suggestion and conspiring with Wu Yan to kill Kudun, Lou Ban became a little suspicious.

"Don't worry, young master, it'll be fine. The Han people have a good face, as long as we endure this breath for the time being, sooner or later there will be a time when the Han people will spit it out. Su Muyan said to Lou Ban, and I don't know if he was comforting Lou Ban or convincing himself.
