Yuan Xi called Xu Dayan, first began to pack up his things, prepare clothes, and it was best to hide people's eyes and ears and sneak out of the house quietly.

At this time, there was a voice outside: "What person?" ”

"Eldest son, do you dare to stand in the way?"

Yuan Xixin shouted "Oops", and hurriedly got up and went to the door, just as Yuan Tan walked in with two entourages, one of which was Kong Shun. Xu Dayan happened to be at the door, blocking it, otherwise the Diao Chan in the house would definitely be discovered.

"Big brother, huh? Why do you have time to visit me? ”

Yuan Tan is tall and thin, inheriting a little bit of Yuan Shao's charm, and he walks very chicly, but his nose is a little long, which destroys the overall face shape, and the beard on his temples is a little messy. When he saw Yuan Xi coming out, he stopped and said, "Xianyi, the foolish brother came to see you." When you got married, I was far away in Qingzhou, and I didn't even give a gift to my younger siblings, so I took this opportunity to meet you and my wife. Then he went inside.

Yuan Xi hurriedly blocked him, for fear that Diao Chan would be seen by him.

Yuan Tan smiled: "Xianyi won't be the golden house Zangjiao, right?" Why don't you invite me in? ”

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "What's the matter? It's just that the room is more cluttered, so why don't you talk outside? ”

Yuan Tan turned around and pointed at Kong Shun and said, "Brother Foolish, I heard that Kong Beijia had some misunderstanding with your people last night?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Oh, it's just the people below playing around, the eldest brother doesn't have to take it seriously." As he spoke, he glared at Kong Shun fiercely. This guy swore yesterday that he wouldn't tell his eldest brother, and he didn't expect to turn his head and go back on his word.

Kong Shun shook his body, and hurriedly said loudly: "Second son, the villain didn't talk to the eldest prince as agreed, but he saw the villain's face bruised and took the initiative to ask, but the villain didn't dare to deceive." ”

It's even more hateful to say this, as if he was afraid that his eldest brother would know about it and deliberately conceal it. This guy is really a bit cunning, but Yuan Xi can't be like this kind of villain, so he has to say: "Originally, it was just some small things." ”

Yuan Tan waved his hand and let Kong Shun and another entourage walk away, and then said, "Xianyi, I have also carefully considered what you told me before......

Yuan Xi's eyes widened.

Yuan Tan was used to giving orders, and he had a calm bearing, and walked under a locust tree planted in the courtyard. The leaves of this tree had fallen off, and only some branches remained, intertwined, and some were still stretched down, which was pinched by Yuan Tan's hand and gently folded off.

"Xianyi, Beihai Xiangkong Rong Kong Wenju is a talented person."

"Descendants of Confucius, I know."

Yuan Tan said: "Not only is his family background, but he is also quite generous. was originally a councilor, but because he offended Dong Zhuo, he was sent to Beihai as the prime minister and did a lot of practical things. Qingzhou is the most courageous place for the Yellow Turban, and it is not easy for him to be able to firmly establish his heels. In the past five or six years, he has built cities and schools, and is very respected by the locals. The foolish brother sent troops from the plains, crossed the river, and wanted to drive straight to Linzi in one breath, but was defeated. Later, he fought fiercely with him for three months. In the end, because the court was running eastward, he was anxious to go to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven, which allowed me to take advantage of the weakness. ”

Oh, Yuan Xi didn't expect that there were many twists and turns. Kong Rong is a person, and the most famous thing is that Kong Rong made pears, which can be used as words. When I was young, I didn't have much accomplishments. But he never thought that he would hear a more real Kong Rong from Yuan Tan's mouth.

Yuan Tan pulled the broken branch, did not pull it, and said: "Although in the end, even if he defends, I am sure to take it, but at that time, he was the guest of honor, and the grain and grass did not continue, and the damage was bound to be heavy." ”

He turned around and said to Yuan Xi, "This is the last assassin who is loyal to the imperial court...... Now Jiangdong is taken by the Sun family, Huainan is our uncle, Cao Cao, Jingzhou Liu Biao set up his own door, the princes of the world support the army and respect themselves, Xianyi, this Han is dead in name. ”

Yuan Xi didn't know what he was going to say, so he had to nod.

Yuan Tan said: "Have you found one of the truths? ”

Yuan Xi asked, "What's the truth?" ”

Yuan Tan said: "Now those who divide one side rely on the soldiers in their hands. Whoever has more soldiers will be able to expand his territory. At the beginning, my father raised troops from the Bohai Sea and issued an edict against Dong Wei, and the princes of the world responded. It has given our Yuan family a foothold, created the hegemony of Hebei, and formed a situation of separating the princes. Look at how many princes are left in these eighteen roads now? Gongsun Chan will be gone soon, where did Han Fu, Bao Xin, and Kong Rong go? The weak and the strong in the world, nothing more than this, Kong Rong is a good material for governing the country, but unfortunately time has passed, and today's world is no longer a peaceful world. ”

Yuan Xi couldn't imagine that his eldest brother could still have such insight, he had never heard of Yuan Tan's name in history, but he only knew that since Yuan Shao's death, his sons had lost their family business. He has the concept of troubled times, and admits that the previous set does not work, and to keep pace with the times, there is already a rudimentary form of evolutionary theory, which is not easy.

Yuan Tan said: "Xianyi, our Yuan clan's territory was defeated, relying on dignified strength. If you don't have enough strength, you will be bullied. Gongsun Zhan Youzhou is full of soldiers, skilled in bows and horses, and has suppressed us for many years, and now he has finally been beaten back. In the future, we will have to go south, and there are still many battles waiting for us to fight. Intrigues and tricks can succeed for a while, but they cannot succeed for a lifetime. To be a man, you still have to be upright. The third brother is playing behind his back, do you think I don't know, I just don't want to worry about him. In the final analysis, he is just a noble son born in the Gaomen compound, and he is used to flying eagles. Originally, I was also like him, thinking that if I was favored by my parents, I would be able to run rampant for the rest of my life. But now that I've gone outside and seen it, I've seen it, and it's different. I am a little disappointed in you for what you said the other day. ”

Yuan Xi's face sank, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he was just asking for self-preservation, how could he talk about disappointment.

Yuan Tan took his hand and said, "I also know that you went to the army to train before. General Koji left the first camp to you, and he valued you. General Lu Xiang is also full of praise for you. I thought you were sensible, but unlike the third brother, I didn't expect to do something left and right. The bureau is too small. In this world, there are capable people living in it. If you learn from the third brother and only stare at some small profits in front of you, thinking that you can get more benefits if you are jealous like a resentful woman, you will be very wrong. Xianyi, we still have to take a long-term view as men. ”

Yuan Xi was very depressed, and was impassionedly educated by him, saying that he had become a small and short-sighted person, he was a little unconvinced, thinking that he came from the future, in terms of vision, there should be no one who can surpass himself at that time. What's more, I don't have much expectation for Yuan Shao's position. From beginning to end, all I was thinking about was how to reverse the defeat of Guandu.

But hearing Yuan Tan say this, Yuan Xi was a lot more relieved. This guy is overly obsessed with strength, which means that he doesn't care about any conspiracy, so he can feel a lot more at ease. However, I don't know if he is involved behind the matter of Diao Chan. If it is really as Yuan Shang said, Song Lu used his relationship, that is, one thing on the surface and one behind the other, it is even more terrifying.

Yuan Tan let go of him, turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at him, there was a smile in his eyes, and said, "Foolish brother, you go back and think about it." ”

When he said this, he had the meaning of looking at his brother from a high position. In fact, having said so much, the meaning is very clear: I, Yuan Tan, have real military merits and am the eldest son, it is not uncommon for me to engage in these conspiracies and tricks with your two brothers, and if you have the ability, let the horse come.

Parting, Yuan Tan seemed to remember something again, and said, "Brother and sister, you say hello for me." I heard that when I was away, they got along very well with each other. ”

Yuan Tan beckoned and left the courtyard.

A person's achievements are determined by a person's insight, if Yuan Tan has such insight, he cannot be underestimated. Yuan Xi silently returned to the house, Zhen Ji and Diao Chan both looked at him and asked, "How is it?" ”

Yuan Xi sat down, drank a glass of water, and then said, "Don't leave for the time being." It's just a concubine, and she hasn't met her before she has passed through the door, so I don't think my father would do anything to me even if he knew that I did it. ”

Zhen Ji said: "It's hard to say. He has five concubines, and it is not uncommon to ask for one more. Sister Diao Chan is so beautiful and beautiful, even if she hasn't seen it, Song Lu has made a picture to present it, and it is hard to guarantee that she will be tempted. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Let's wait and see what happens." ”
