Guo Jia, as the messenger of courtship, naturally this situation cannot be shabby, just when Guo Jia just set off from Zhuo County, the news of Su Chen's intention to marry Yuan Shao has spread all over the world, and its purpose is self-evident. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yuan Shao didn't expect Su Chen to marry him, to some extent, he didn't want to be an enemy with Su Chen, if the two sides could really form a family of children and daughters, it would not be a bad thing.

Guo Jia was about to reach Yecheng in a few days, and Yuan Shao summoned his advisers to ask: "Everyone, Yanhou has sent a messenger, and he will reach Yecheng in a few days to ask Benhou for marriage, what do you think about this?" ”

As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, Tian Feng impatiently admonished: "The lord must not agree, Youzhou is now the enemy of Jizhou, and Yan Hou's move is nothing more than to delay time, and the lord must not be fooled." ”

Tian Feng's words made Yuan Shao sound a little harsh, but he was also a master in the end, and he would not scold the people who sincerely gave him advice, so he said lightly: "Hahahaha, Yuan Hao is suspicious, I and Yanhou once killed the eunuchs together, and together they raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, in the past, there was already a marriage, and now I heard that Su Jin, the son of Yanhou, has reached the marriageable age, and the so-called men should marry and women should marry, and there is nothing to do." ”

"The lord is wise!" Xu You is the most perceptive, he saw that Yuan Shao did not object to the marriage, and casually agreed: "If the lord marries Yanhou, it is not useless for Jizhou, to remove the threat of Youzhou, the lord can take the opportunity to use troops against Hanoi, and even the lord can unite with Yanhou to use troops against Cao Cao, so the marriage is beneficial and harmless to Jizhou." ”

"Confused!" Hearing this bullshit, Tian Feng couldn't stand it, he had always been upright, how could he tolerate such misguided words, "The lord must not, Yan Hou has great ambitions, and sooner or later he will fight with the lord, if he doesn't take advantage of his weakness to send troops, and in the future, Yan Hou will sit on the land of two states, and he will become the lord and his enemy." ”

The whole world knows about the marriage, Yuan Shao is a good-faced person, how can he listen to Tian Feng's words, Tian Feng's uprightness has already made him a little angry, "Yuan Hao, don't say it again, Ben Hou has his own opinions." ”

"Lord, I ......" Tian Feng wanted to say more, but he glanced at him, he also knew that it would only backfire at this time, so he could only wait for the opportunity, thinking that Yuan Shao didn't listen to his contrary advice, he couldn't help but sigh long: "Hey!!! ”

Yuan Shao ignored Tian Feng anymore, and instructed Xu You: "Ziyuan, for the envoy sent by Yanhou to ask for relatives, you must be hospitable, and you must not have any inconsiderateness, so as not to let people say that we are not considerate in Jizhou, understand?" ”

"No! Rest assured, Xu Yu will do his best! "For Xu You, this is a fat gap, can the envoy sent by Yanhou be less of his benefits?

"Well, that's all for today, let's disperse."

After Yuan Shao dispersed the strategists, he found Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan rushed to help Xuzhou, after Tao Qian's defeat, Yuan Tan returned to Yecheng in disgrace, and now Yuan Shao's favorite Yuan Shang stayed in Luoyang, Yuan Tan thought that this was Yuan Shao's estrangement from Yuan Shang, so he became more and more interested in winning favor in front of his father.

"Xiansi, what do you think of the marriage between Yanhou and my Yuan family?" Yuan Shao was lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, and when he was indecisive, Fang Cai Tian Feng fiercely opposed, although it made him unhappy, but it also made him doubt the marriage.

When Yuan Tan heard this, he knew that this was an opportunity to perform in front of his father, and immediately said: "Father, my son thinks that this matter is a great good thing for me in Jizhou. ”

"Oh? What does this mean? Yuan Shao wanted to hear what he could say.

Yuan Tan saw that Yuan Shao was interested in listening, and he hurriedly said: "Father Rongyu, all along, my Jizhou has regarded Youzhou as an imaginary enemy, and my father, as a general, should have been sitting in Luoyang, but now he has come to Yecheng in person, which also shows that Youzhou does have a great threat to my Jizhou, if the marriage is successful, this threat will not exist." ”

"You go on."

"Yes!" The more Yuan Tan spoke, the more excited he became, and continued: "My father is a general of the imperial court, and he is in awe of the princes of the four directions, but now Zhang Yang has taken refuge in Lu Bu, and then Ma Teng has carried out of Luoyang, which is a big blow to my father's prestige, if our Yuan family and Yanhou marry, then for my father, the prestige is even better, there is no one in the world who is not afraid of my father and Yanhou joining forces, the first one is probably Uncle Meng De, at that time, not only can restore my father's prestige, but also let my father sit firmly in the position of the head of the princes in the world." , so it is said that marriage is beneficial and harmless. ”

Yuan Shao listened to his words, thought about it carefully, and there was some truth, so he asked again: "Then in your opinion, if we form an alliance with Yanhou, how should we develop in the future?" ”

"Send troops to attack Yanzhou." Yuan Tan seemed to be in the chest and said: "Yanzhou four battles, there is no precipitous to defend, if my father and Yanhou send troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou respectively, Uncle Meng De will be defeated, then my father can occupy Yanzhou, the land of Xuzhou to Yanhou, with Yanzhou, Luoyang and Jizhou are connected, my father can go north to recover Hanoi, and then send troops to Hangu Pass, if my father can defeat Lu Bu, then who else in the world dares to be an enemy of my father?" ”

"After my father defeated Lu Bu, he would be able to occupy the land of Liangzhou in Chang'an, and then my father only needed to send a partial division to attack Hanzhong, threatening Chengdu, and after capturing Chengdu, he could attack Liu Biao with the princes of Yangzhou on both sides. At that time, my Yuan family can replace the Han Emperor and replace him,......" Yuan Tan became more and more excited the more he said.

"Shut up!" Yuan Shao suddenly stopped him, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Yes, father, the son does not choose what to say, and the son knows his mistakes!" Yuan Tan didn't expect Yuan Shao to be angry, and immediately became like a good baby.

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully, what Yuan Tan said was not unreasonable, if this is the case, in the future, there will be Yuan Shu in the south of the whole world, and there will be him Yuan Shao in the north, if Su Chen dares to be opposed, then he will only need to attack from the north and south, and the world will not fall under the control of his Yuan family?

"Since you have also agreed to the marriage, after the envoy of Youzhou arrives, you will come forward to receive it, remember, you must not lose your manners. Ben Hou has already instructed Xu You to do this, you can go to him to discuss. ”

"No!" Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Shao had listened to all those words he had just said, so he asked him to come forward to entertain the envoy of Youzhou, which also showed that his performance just now was deeply loved by Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia took a team of attendants and escorted more than a dozen carts of gifts, and a few days later, he had already arrived in Yecheng.
