Liu Yi read the information and listened to Yin Xiao's report before he knew what was going on.

It turned out that after Yuan Shao's defeat, Yuan Xi and his mother Liu, under the escort of Yuan Shao's personal soldiers and generals whom they had bought, took advantage of the chaos in the palace and escaped from the Yecheng Palace. After they escaped, they immediately went out of the city directly, and persuaded a Yuan army of tens of thousands of horses outside the city to rush to Maocheng to join Xin Ping and Han Meng to seek a way out in the future.

However, the learned Xi Zhicai sent Su Cheng to lead the New Han army to block it, forcing Yuan Xi's mother and son to switch to Guangping.

In Quang Binh, there were about 70,000 or 80,000 Yuan troops. Most of these Yuan troops completely obeyed Yuan Tan's orders. However, after learning the news of Yuan Shao's defeat, a small number of them felt that there was no way out for Yuan Tan to follow, so they planned to find another way, and even many of them planned to simply surrender to the New Han Army.

And Yuan Xi's mother and son rushed to Guangping with the remnants of tens of thousands of Yuan troops, which made Guangping's Yuan army reach more than 100,000 horses at once.

At this time, Yuan Tan is no longer the casual Yuan Tan, after he has experienced all kinds of things, he is more enthusiastic about power and forms his own team.

He was not on good terms with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, which was no secret among Yuan Jun. Yuan Tan was full of vigilance about Yuan Xi's likeness.

In Yuan Tan's heart, he didn't intend to accept Yuan Xi's mother and son at all, but at this time, he and Yuan Xi were also nominal brothers, and if they didn't accept it, it wouldn't be justified. What's more, he took a fancy to the Yuan troops brought by Yuan Xi.

Yuan Tan also saw it, and now his father Yuan Shao has been defeated. They are now also under siege by the New Han Army. If they don't find a way out in time, they will be wiped out by the New Han army sooner or later.

Anyway. The shape shì is also very clear, and it is impossible for Yuan Tan not to see it. Therefore, he has always thought about how to jump out of the encirclement of the New Han Army and find a place where he can settle down.

In this life, there has been a great change from the current situation in history. Therefore, Yuan Tan in this world cannot be like the Yuan Tan in history, and it is impossible to develop according to the trajectory of history.

Yuan Tan at this moment. He saw that the entire Jizhou had almost fallen into the hands of Liu Yi, he was in Jizhou, and he was afraid that there was no place for him to live. Of course, not only Jizhou, but also the entire north of the Han Dynasty, Jizhou and Youzhou, there is no place for him Yuan Tan. In this case. Yuan Tan still wanted to save his life, and if he wanted to get a place to settle down, he could only make up his mind in the east and south directions.

Surrender to Cao Cao? Yuan Tan felt that this was not the best choice. Because when his father Yuan Shao was still there, Cao Cao couldn't readily agree to accept it, and now. In Cao Cao's eyes, he was afraid that it was nothing. Cao Cao may not accept him. Even if he was accepted, he could only be under Cao Cao's guard. Depressed for life.

Yuan Tan was unwilling to do this, so he thought of whether he could lead the army to break through the encirclement of the New Han Army and lead the army to flee to Qingzhou? Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, and he can be regarded as having a little foundation, after all, Kong Rong was defeated by him, and now, nominally, he is still the lord of Qingzhou Beihai. If he can rush to Qingzhou Beihai, then he may have a chance to make a comeback, at least, he can become a prince according to Beihai.

Yuan Tan has had such a mind for a long time, and in today's situation, this kind of thinking is even more urgent. It's just that now that the enemy is present, Yuan Tan is worried that with his 70,000 or 80,000 Yuan troops, he is afraid that as soon as he leaves Guangping City, he will be attacked by the New Han army, and he will have no chance to break through and leave, and it will be difficult to safely lead the army to Beihai. In particular, the cavalry of the New Han Army was too fierce, and he didn't dare to imagine the result if his 70,000 or 80,000 Yuan army was attacked by the cavalry of the New Han Army in the wild.

However, now that Yuan Xi has led tens of thousands of Yuan troops to meet him, this makes him feel that the opportunity has come.

He immediately found Yuan Xi and discussed with him the question of what to do in the future.

In fact, Yuan Xi was already frightened by the New Han Army at this time, and he was also worried about what he would do in the future. Seriously, if he hadn't thought that he had done too many bad deeds, the New Han Army would have been unable to tolerate him, and he really had the intention of surrendering to the New Han Dynasty.

Yuan Tan directly took the leading position and talked to Yuan Xi about his plan.

Yuan Tan's plan was to incorporate all the Yuan troops brought by Yuan Xi into his own army, so as to achieve the goal of appropriating Yuan Xi's Yuan army for himself. followed, just to find a way to pick up Xin Ping and Han Meng in Maocheng. After all, the current Yuan Tan does not have a person around him who can really work for him. Therefore, he wanted to take Xin Ping for his own use. Whether it is for this escape to Qingzhou Beihai or his excavation in the future, he believes that Xin Ping can give him great help.

On the other hand, he planned to send someone to contact Yuan Shang in Yangping and ask him to send troops to break through with him, but Yuan Tan did not plan to flee to Beihai in Qingzhou with Yuan Shang, but wanted to use Yuan Shang's Yuan army to attract the attention of the New Han Army and block the pursuit of the New Han Army for him.

Yuan Xi had no opinion of his own at all, and listening to what Yuan Tan told him, it seemed that it was indeed a good way, so he agreed to Yuan Tan on the spot.

However, Yuan Xi went back to see his mother Liu and told him about the matter he had discussed with Yuan Tan, the eldest brother who had always been at odds with him. Liu scolded Yuan Xi for being stupid, and he didn't know that he was sold by others.

Liu reminded Yuan Xi that it was okay to cooperate with Yuan Tan, but he must not be allowed to adopt his own military horses. If their mother and son lose the protection of their military horses now, then the next moment will be the death of their mother and son.

After Liu's mother's analysis, Yuan Xi could see through Yuan Tan's vicious intentions even if he was a straw bag. For a while, he was also very angry, when they were living and dying at this time, Yuan Tan actually dared to murder him? Is this still a brother?

Hehe, at this time, Yuan Xi seems to have forgotten that he doesn't know how many times he has murdered Yuan Tan.

However, now that Liu reminded Yuan Xi that it seemed a little late for Yuan Xi to understand Yuan Tan's sinister intentions. Because, he has already reached an agreement with Yuan Tan, if at this time, he goes back on his word again. So who knows what Yuan Tan will do to their detriment in a fit of anger.

However, they really couldn't let Yuan Tan really adopt his own military horses.

Well. The most poisonous woman's heart. Yuan Xi was anxious and didn't know what to do with him. How can you keep your military horses? The Liu family believes that Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan will never be able to coexist, even if they are now both children of the Yuan family in distress, but even if they break through to Qingxiang Beihai in Guangping or in the future, they can only be in charge alone. And judging from the current situation, Yuan Xi has been crushed to death by Yuan Tan, this son. is not the current opponent of Yuan Tan at all. Liu believes that sooner or later, her mother and son will be killed by Yuan Tan. Then, it is better to strike first, kill Yuan Tan as much as possible, let Yuan Xi replace Yuan Tan, and lead the Yuan army here, as long as Yuan Xi can take the position, then it will be easy to do in the future. To go and to descend. It's their mother and son who have the final say, and even, if they really want to surrender, they have the capital to negotiate the conditions with the New Han Army.

Well. In the Yecheng Palace, Yuan Xi was restrained by Zhao Yun, the situation at that time. Liu felt that he did not have the capital to negotiate with the New Han Army, even after escaping from the Yecheng Palace. Liu also felt that he had voted for the New Han Army. This will not do him any good in the future. In particular, her first priority is to ensure the safety of her son's life. If they voted for the New Han Army, they would still kill their sons? So, why did she need to join the New Han Army? Therefore, she thought that she had a certain amount of negotiating capital, and then she would talk to the Xinhan Army about surrendering, and when the time came, the first condition would be for the Xinhan Army to ensure the safety of her mother and son.

Judging from these things, Liu's woman really doesn't seem to be a simple woman.

Liu had a plan in his heart, so he discussed with Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi also felt that if Guangping was now in charge of him, at least it would be better than Yuan Tan having the final say. At the very least, he has the final say, and he no longer has to worry about being assassinated by Yuan Tan.

After the mother and son reached an agreement, they immediately summoned their henchmen and generals to discuss with them how to strike first.

As for Yuan Tan, he thought he was planning to think that this second brother Yuan Xi was not his opponent except for his appearance. With such a few gentle words, Yuan Xi was able to agree to give up his military horses. For a while, Yuan Tan couldn't help but be full of confidence in his future.

He only brought a small number of people to Yuan Xi's military camp, preparing to take over the military power of Yuan Xi's Yuan army.

The result can be imagined, as soon as Yuan Tan arrived at Yuan Xi's military camp, he was immediately attacked, although Yuan Tan already had a group of people who could serve him to the death. However, it couldn't save Yuan Tan's life.

After all, Yuan Tan's foundation is too thin, and it turns out that Yuan Shaojun's generals are capable generals, and there are not many who can be loyal to Yuan Tan. Under Yuan Xi's account, there are many Yuan Shao's personal generals, and in addition, there are second-rate generals like Han Juzi and Wang Men. Soon, Yuan Tan was attacked and killed in Yuan Xi's military camp and died a little unjustly.

And Yuan Xi soon succeeded Yuan Tan's position.

After all, whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Xi, they are both Yuan Shao's sons, and the Yuan army who stayed in Guangping, they serve Yuan Tan or Yuan Xi, and there seems to be not much difference. What's more, there is also Yuan Shao's favorite wife Liu, which made Yuan Jun in Guangping quickly accept Yuan Xi and forget that Yuan Tan was killed by Yuan Xi.

After Yuan Xi took over Guangping, he immediately sent someone to meet Zhao Yun, who had already arrived in Guangping, at the request of his mother Liu, and wanted to negotiate with Zhao Yun.

In addition, they are also prepared on the one hand, if the negotiations fail, how to break through. Liu and Yuan Xi also felt that Yuan Tan's idea seemed to work, if they could escape to Qingzhou Beihai, then they would be more comfortable and not be controlled by others.

In Zhao Yun's mind, a bastard like Yuan Xi had already been sentenced to death, and Yuan Xi and Liu's mother and son took this as the first negotiation condition, but Zhao Yun refused to agree.

However, if you want to attack Guangping City immediately, it will inevitably cause losses to the officers and soldiers of the New Han Army. He was also a little undecidable for a while, so he sent someone to ask Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai learned that Yuan Tan was actually killed by Yuan Xi, and he knew very well in his heart that Yuan Tan was the son of Liu Yi's current woman, Zhang. Yuan Tan was killed by Yuan Xi, and he felt that he had to report it to Liu Yi first.

As a result, there was an express report to Luoyang, and Yin Xiao reported it to Liu Yi.

Yuan Tan died, but Liu Yi's heart felt a little lighter, no matter what, Yuan Tan was indeed not liked by Liu Yi, not to mention, he was not his own son, Liu Yi did not need to worry too much about Yuan Tan. Well, although, Liu Yi doesn't care too much about his women's past, doesn't care that they have ever had men, and even, in order to make his women live a happier and happier life, he can accept their original flesh and blood. However, this does not mean that Liu Yi can accept those bad character guys. 's own woman, for the sake of her children with bad character, entanglement with herself, this matter really makes Liu Yi a little difficult to do. Well, now that Yuan Tan is dead, Liu Yi doesn't have to worry about such a thing anymore.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang may be sad for a while. However, Liu Yi believes that time will definitely make her forget something.

After Liu Yi figured out the situation, he went to see Mrs. Zhang again.

Although Mrs. Zhang was sad and a little depressed, she did not collapse.

After Liu Yi explained to her what happened to Yuan Tan, she was speechless for a long time, just crying silently.

The son did not die at the hands of the New Han Army, but at the hands of his brother, so what else did Mrs. Zhang have to say? It's not that Liu Yi didn't save Yuan Tan, but that Yuan Tan himself was unscrupulous and couldn't accept his affair with Liu Yi, but instead insulted and insulted his biological mother. In this way, Cai Dao Liu Yi decided not to pay attention to Yuan Tan's affairs, let him return to Yuan Shao's side, and let him fend for himself. I really can't blame Liu Yi for this. What's more, just now Liu Yi also promised to let Yuan Tan go and bring Yuan Tan to Luoyang to him. Liu Yi, for her mother and son, can also be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

"Madam, don't be too sad, you can rest first." Liu Yi saw that Mrs. Zhang's feelings were low, and he knew that he was afraid that she would not be able to listen to what he was telling her now, so he had to let her be quiet by herself.

"Husband......

When Liu Yi was about to go out, Mrs. Zhang called Liu Yi with teary eyes.

"Husband, I want to ask you to promise people two things."

"Huh? Go ahead. Leo Yi stood still.

"Can you send my son's body to Luoyang for burial? I think...... I want to be closer when I go to worship him in the future......"

"Yes." Naturally, Lewi would not refuse.

"There is one more thing...... Mrs. Zhang said this, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Can you capture Yuan Xi and his mother Liu alive in Luoyang?" I, I'm going to kill Yuan Xi in front of the Liu family with my own hands, so that she can taste the killing of her son! ”

"Huh? This ......" Liu Yi was stunned and looked at Mrs. Zhang. (To be continued......)
