"Keep people under the knife! Leave someone under my knife! Stop it! Leave people under the knife! ”

Seeing that the Xueliang ghost head knife was about to cut off the cute cerebellum of Lord Yang Hong, outside the crowd of onlookers, an anxious and nervous roar suddenly sounded, and then, a team of arrogant and domineering ironclad warriors crashed into the crowd of people, and then dozens of fine horses, with bright armor and gorgeous clothes, were ten times more arrogant than those ironclad warriors who kicked and kicked the onlookers away, and among them, there was a young man in a silk robe, riding a tall Western Regions horse with a snow-white divine horse, Even the saddle was inlaid with gold and silver, and the luxurious smell of his body could be smelled from a distance of three miles.

Seeing the young man in the Confucian shirt and silk robe, the executioner who had already raised the ghost head knife immediately threw down the butcher's knife and knelt on his knees, and the officials of Yuan Shaojun who supervised the beheading and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun who protected the law field also did not say a word, or knelt on both knees, or knelt on one knee with a weapon in hand, and shouted in unison and respectfully, "Meet the third prince!" ”

"The third son? The third son? Lord Yang Hong, who was tightly pressed on the chopping platform, was dizzy, and said in his heart, the third son? I, Yang Zhongming, have enemies all over the world, can I still have acquaintances in Jizhou? When my dead ghost dad died, didn't he say that my family had relatives in Jizhou? Even if my family has relatives in Jizhou, it is impossible for the cow to shout that he will leave someone under the knife and really not kill me, right?

When he was still dizzy, poor Lord Yang Hong was picked up, and it was no one else who picked up Lord Yang Hong, it was the young third son who shouted that he was left under the knife, at the age of twenty-one or twelve, his handsome appearance was on par with the appearance of Deputy Director Tao, walking on the street can definitely seduce the amorous eyes of many cardamom girls, and his attitude is extremely kind, and he said to Lord Yang Hong affectionately and sincerely: "Mr. Zhong Ming, I have frightened you, in Xia Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Gong, Marquis of Qixiang, I have met Mr. Zhong Ming. ”

"Yuan Shao's third son?" Lord Yang Hong finally came back to his senses a little, but he was even more confused, "Are there all the problems with the people in the old Yuan family?" Yuan Shu is stupid and stupid, Yuan Tan wants to kill me all the time, Yuan Shang came to save me again, and he is so polite to me? ”

"Mr. Zhongming, I'm sorry for frightening you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." There are also people who come to untie Lord Yang Hong, this person is a middle-aged scribe in his forties, thin and dry like a bamboo artemisia, Confucian shirt and square scarf have a good eye, while untying Yang Hong with his own hands, he complained in a kind tone: "But Mr. Zhongming, since you are coming to Jizhou City, why don't you know that you will let Zhengnan come to visit?" Do you want to see that Guo Gongze? ”

"Due south?" Lord Yang Hong continued to be dizzy, and finally came to his senses, exclaiming, "Mr. Zhengnan? Could it be that the adult is the judge and judge Zhengnan? ”

"The cheap name is insulting and respectful, and it is the judgment below." The judge replied with a smile, and at the same time untied the last rope on Yang Hong's body with his own hands.

"It's over! Not only is Yuan Shao's family sick, but his family's advisors and civil officials are also sick! "Lord Yang Hong, who is still confused by Zhang Er, is even more bitter, "Guo Tu and Xin Ping don't say that they want to kill me, and they don't say anything about saving me, are the courtiers of the old Yuan family and the old Yuan family crazy?" ”

At this time, Yuan Shanggongzi, who was so handsome as Deputy Director Tao, had already grabbed Yang Hong's wrist and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhongming, let's go, I'll take you to see my father, Mr. don't worry, with Yuan Shang here, my father will definitely take back his life, pardon you from death, and will definitely meet you in person." ”

Saying that, Yuan Shang also turned to the Yuan Shaojun officials and soldiers next to him and shouted: "Mr. Yang Hong, I took it, what responsibility is there, I will take it alone, it has nothing to do with you, what should you do, if my eldest brother and Guo Tu and Xin Ping send someone to ask, just say that this is what I mean, what is coming to me!" ”

"No!" Yuan Shaojun's officers and soldiers who were present replied neatly, their attitudes were extremely respectful, Yuan Shang laughed, pulled Yang Hong and strode away, and the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shaojun who protected the law field retreated one after another, completely ignoring Yuan Shang and the trial match, and took the death row prisoner away without showing Yuan Shao's pardon warrant at all, as if he was not worried about the consequences of Yuan Shao's investigation in the future.

Yang Hong, who was in a daze, was taken by Yuan Shang for a long time, as if Yang Hong in a dream finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly struggled and said: "Three ......, the third son is slow, there is still something, there is still something." ”

"What else is the matter with Mr. Zhongming?" Yuan Shang asked in surprise.

"The third son, letters, and gifts." Yang Hong's head was still in a short circuit, and it took a long time to say coherent words to explain, "The good letter from my lord Tao Envoy Jun to Duke Yuan, as well as the gifts from my lord to Duke Yuan, are still in the inn. Oh, by the way, the little envoy has to change his clothes, otherwise he will be too disrespectful to Yuan Gong. ”

Looking at Yang Hong's civilian clothes, and then looking at Yang Hong's wet crotch, Yuan Shang and the judge smiled dumbly, and then Yuan Shang instructed the judge: "Okay, Mr. Zhengnan, you first accompany Mr. Zhong Ming back to the inn to get letters and gifts, and by the way, let Mr. Zhong Ming bathe and change clothes, and then take Mr. Zhong Ming to the Hou Mansion to meet my father, but act quickly, don't let my father wait for a long time." On my father's side, I'll explain it first. ”

"Childe, let the little nephew Xianrong escort Mr. Zhongming back to the inn." The judge shook his head, and said in a low voice: "This will be the eldest prince, Guo Tu and Xin Ping must all be by the lord's side, son, you go alone to see the lord's strength, and you are worthy of going with the son, so you can deal with them." ”

Seeing Yuan Shang nodded, the judge hurriedly added, "Oh, by the way, it's better for Gongzi to send someone to inform Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, tell the truth, and ask them to discuss this matter in front of the lord as soon as possible, and they will definitely be able to help Gongzi a lot." ”

"Tian Feng and Fu Zhu never intervene in the affairs of me and my eldest brother, can you help me?" Yuan Shang asked with some surprise.

"Childe, please rest assured." The judge replied with a smile: "Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have always helped their relatives but not their relatives, our army has a good alliance with Xuzhou, and it will benefit the lord without harm, and their lord's loyal courtiers, so they will definitely help the son." ”

"What are these two people talking about? Why can't I understand a word? ”

The more Lord Yang Hong next to him listened, the more confused he became, but Yuan Shang applauded, applauded, and said: "Yuan Fang is my half-sister, Tao Yuanjun asked his father to marry Fangmei, and it is very appropriate for his mother to intervene in this matter, but I don't know what Tao Yuanjun's appearance is?" Can you satisfy your mother? ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang quickly turned to Yang Hong and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhongming, please tell me the truth, what is the appearance of your family master?" Is it good-looking, or is it not as good as it should be? ”

It wasn't until Yuan Shang asked again that the dizzy Lord Yang Hong came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Yuan Shang: "Third son, please rest assured, compared with the third son, although my lord is inferior everywhere, but only in terms of appearance, the little envoy has the courage to praise it, and my lord can barely be on par with the third son." If Gongzi doesn't believe it, there is still evidence below, this time in order to facilitate the courtship of Yuan Gong, the Lord ordered the master craftsman to draw a portrait of his Danqing, and let the little envoy take it to Jizhou. ”

"Okay, great!" Yuan Shang applauded excitedly, and then quickly ordered: "Mr. Zhongming, you can bring the Danqing portrait of Tao Envoy Jun in a while and hand it over to General Xianrong who escorts you." General Zhenrong, in a moment you give the portrait of Tao Envoy Jun to my guards, and they will send the portrait to my mother to see. ”

Yuan Shang and the trial first arranged for his henchmen to report to the other two Yuan Shaojun ministers Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, and then Yuan Shao and the trial mate hurried to Yuan Shao's Qixiang Marquis Mansion to explain and explain to Yuan Shao that he blocked and killed Yang Hong, and Xianrong led more than 20 people to protect Yang Hong and return to the inn, where he changed clothes and bathed and took out letters and gifts, and at the same time, the Xuzhou soldiers lurking in the crowd of the people also came up and met Yang Hong.

So, Yang Hong, who is still dizzy, is like a puppet, first taken back to the inn where he stayed by Xianrong, and then quickly stuffed into the bath bucket by the accompanying Danyang soldiers, hurriedly brushed off the urine and tears on his body with a pig hair brush, and hurriedly put on the Xuzhou official uniform for Lord Yang Hong, freshened up and dressed up in a new look, and finally took out Tao Ying's letter and gift of asking for relatives, and stuffed it into the hands of Lord Yang Hong, and the judge Rong over there kept urging Yang Hong to leave quickly, so as not to dream a lot after a long time.

After being repeatedly tossed by countless people for a long time, Lord Yang Hong also calmed down a lot, and after carefully checking all kinds of things that should be brought, Lord Yang Hong first ordered someone to take out the gift and give it to the accompanying soldiers of Zhen Rong, and then personally stuffed a pearl of a bag into Zhen Rong's hands, when Zhen Rong was modest, Yang Hong said again: "The general must not be polite, the grace of saving life is not intended to be repaid, just a small gift, and please accept it from the general." In addition, the little envoy still has something unclear, and he also asks the general to tell the truth, why is the eldest son of Yuan Gong so hateful, and he wants to cut off his head without saying a word? Why did the third prince treat him so kindly, and he was willing to take the blame and rescue him from the knife? ”

Xian Rong smiled, looked left and right first, and then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Yang, you are burning incense to worship the wrong mountain gate, if you go to meet the third son of my family first, or meet the uncle of the last general first, or even meet the last general first, then there will be absolutely no matter of the court, and Mr. will definitely be able to meet the lord smoothly." But sir, you went to the wrong mountain gate, and went to Guo Tu, that Guo Tu is the absolute henchman of the eldest prince, how can the eldest prince not kill him as soon as you want? ”

"Why? For what? Yang Hong was even more confused.

"It's simple." Xian Rong was not obscure, and laughed in a low voice: "The third son of my family is the same as Tao Yuanjun, they are both young sons and beloved sons, and the eldest son is the same as Tao Yuanjun's brother Tao Shang, they are the eldest sons who are not loved. After the old Tao made the king abolish the long and young and chose to establish the Tao should be the little envoy, the people on the side of the eldest prince said that the abolition of the long and young is the way to take chaos, and Xuzhou will soon have civil strife and cause great disaster, but the fact is just the opposite, after the small Tao envoy succeeded to the throne, Xuzhou not only did not have the slightest civil strife, but also became more and more rich and strong, steaming and saying - Lord Yang, do you say that the eldest prince can not hate Xuzhou to the bone? The third son of my family, can you not like Xiao Tao and Mr. ”

Lord Yang Hong is indeed not too stupid - if he is too stupid, it is impossible to get to today's position by relying on his whiskers and slapping horses, so listening to Xian Rong's explanation, Yang Hong not only immediately realized, but also suddenly blossomed in his heart, and shouted in his stomach God help me, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers compete for the throne, Yuan Tan hates the house and Wu wants Lao Tzu's life, Yuan Shang loves the house and Wu is extremely close to Lao Tzu, and there is hope for Lao Tzu's errand - at least, there is Yuan Shao's most beloved son Yuan Shang to protect him with all his might, and the mission can be done regardless of whether it can be done or not, I don't even have to worry about my head hitting the ground.

"Hah, and." Yang Hong suddenly remembered something again, and secretly rejoiced: "Listen to the tone, it seems that Yuan Shang and Yuan Fang are brothers and sisters who crawled out of their mother's belly, this is a relationship that can no longer be close, if Yuan Fang really marries my father-in-law, then Yuan Shang and my father-in-law are strong alliances and mutually beneficial, and Yuan Shang will definitely make every effort to promote Tao Yuan's marriage and alliance." God help me, God help me. ”

After understanding these reasons and his own advantages, Yang Hong's heart was even more determined, Yang Hong did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately went out of the inn with Xianrong, and asked the Xuzhou soldiers to pick up gifts, and rushed to Qixiang Houfu to meet Yuan Shao, and after successfully arriving at Qixiang Houfu, there were Yuan Shang's cronies in front of the Hou Mansion to welcome the Hou, Yang Hong hurriedly called Tao Ying's stinky portrait to Xianrong, and then tidied up his clothes, held the gift list and Tao Ying's letter, and with Yuan Shang's cronies entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, and finally saw Yuan Shao himself in the lobby.

At this moment, the hall of Yuan Shao's mansion has already been filled with many Yuan Shaojun civil and military officials, Yuan Shaogao is sitting in the middle of the hall, in his forties, with good facial features, dignified appearance, and a majestic beard, Yuan Shang is standing near the right side behind Yuan Shao, and poor Yuan Tan is standing in the second place on the left, and is also under Guo Tu, and Yuan Shang's favor can be seen at a glance, and at the same time seeing Yang Hong come in with a gift list and a letter, Yuan Tan also glared at Yang Hong viciously, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred.

Knowing that he had the support of hardcore allies, and seeing that Yuan Tan was obviously not as favored as Yuan Shang, Lord Yang Hong, who was good at tending to inflammation, was of course no longer afraid of Yuan Tan's hatred, but just knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Shao, the third prince of Qixiang, and said more respectfully: "The little envoy Xuzhou Governor Shi Yang Hong, on the order of the lord Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoying, met with the general of the Che Cavalry, Ji You and Sanzhou Prefecture Mu, Qixiang Marquis Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong Jin'an. This is a meager gift list presented to Duke Yuan by the lord of my family, Tao Envoy, and a letter from my lord to Duke Yuan, please take a look at it. ”

Yuan Shang personally went down to the court, took the gift list and letter from Yang Hong's hands, and handed them to the Great Yuan Sangong with both hands, but the Great Yuan Sangong did not take it, but just asked Yuan Shang to put the gift list and letter on the table in front of him, and then asked Yang Hong slowly: "Yang Hong, aren't you my brother Yuan Shu's long history?" How did it become the long history of Tao Ying again? ”

This question is not difficult for Lord Yang Hong, as Yuan Shu's former confidant, Yang Hong is very Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, and they are really enemies, so Yang Hong replied without fear: "Back to Yuan Gong, the little envoy has indeed been under Yuan Shu's long history, just because Yuan Shu is tyrannical and unkind, perverse, arrogant, righteous husband, and people and ghosts are sick." As the so-called good birds choose the wood and perch, the virtuous ministers choose the lord and serve, the small envoy is not willing to go with it, so he abandons the dark and casts the light, and casts Yuan Shu and Tao Ying, fortunately Tao Gong is included, and once again serves as the governor of Xuzhou. ”

Sure enough, hearing that the traitor of the brother's family insulted his half-brother like this, Yuan Sangong, who was also not very broad-minded, was not only not angry, but also a little gloating, but Yuan Tan next to him couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out and shouted: "Shut up, your Yuan family is rebellious, no matter how virtuous your uncle is, and he is my father's brother, how can you let this shameless villain be so insulting?" ”

"The eldest prince, with all due respect, Yuan Gong is broad-minded, tolerant of the universe, and regards Yuan Shu as a brother, but Yuan Shu has never regarded Yuan Gong as a brother." Yang Hong, who knew Yuan Shu's countless secrets, was even more afraid of this question.

"Nonsense! When did my uncle stop treating my father as an older brother? Yuan Tan opened his eyes and said nonsense, just messing around, and shouted: "Tell me, why doesn't my uncle treat my father as a brother?" ”

"The eldest prince, the little envoy dared to ask the son, does the son really don't know, or pretend not to know?" Yang Hong asked rhetorically: "Before the Kuangting War, Ling Zun Yuan Gong and Yuan Shu respectively sent letters to the princes of the world, asking the princes to help the war from themselves, but as a result, most of the princes in the world chose Yuan Gong in response to the heavens. 'Yuan Shu said this, can he respect Yuan Gong as a brother? ”

Yuan Shu really scolded such stupid words, which the father and son of the third prince of Yuan had known for a long time, so Yuan Tan was immediately speechless, and the third prince of the eldest Yuan snorted coldly, and glared at the eldest son who had never loved him much. Over there, Yang Hong observed his words, and said cautiously: "Yuan Gong, he said that after Yuan Gong defeated the rebel Gongsun Zhan, he would definitely be able to copy out a letter written by Yuan Shu to Gongsun Chan in the Yijing Building of Gongsun Zhan, and in the letter, Yuan Shu accused Yuan Gong of not being a descendant of the Yuan family, but an outsider's ....... ”

"Is that really the case?" The face of the eldest Yuan Sangong, who was born to the concubine, began to turn blue.

"If not, the little envoy will be willing to suffer the punishment of Ling Chi!" Yang Hong kowtowed heavily - because there was really this letter, so Yang Hong's answer to this sentence was rare and reasonable.

"Crazy fools, sooner or later I will capture them!" Da Yuan Sangong snorted again, and then shouted: "Tan'er, step aside, Hugh has to mess around!" Mr. Zhongming, please get up too. ”

Yuan Tan Tie retreated with a blushing face, Lord Yang Hong kowtowed happily and thanked him, and then got up, and Yuan Sangong over there picked up Tao Ying's letter and opened it, looked at it carefully, and saw that Tao Ying's words on the letter were very respectful, and he respected himself abnormally, and saw that Tao Ying's rich gift list was by no means perfunctory, and he was secretly happy in his heart. In the end, the third prince of Yuan passed the letter to everyone, and then said: "Zhugong, Tao Ying wrote to me, claiming to be a junior, wanting to correct his father's mistakes, making peace with our army, forming an alliance to crusade against the world's rebels, and wanting to marry my daughter Yuan Fang and set up as a wife. ”

"Father, by all means!" Yuan Tan, who hated Tao Ying so much that his eggs hurt, hurriedly jumped out, hugged his fists and said: "Father, that Tao Qian's old son, together with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, sent troops to Fagan (Tangyi) to attack the coalition army of his father and Cao Ying on three sides, it is really hateful, this revenge is not avenged, how can you make peace with him?" ”

"My lord, no!" Guo Tu, the eldest son of Yuan Jun, also jumped out unequivocally and said categorically: "Tao Ying'er is capricious, first colluded with Gongsun Chan to hostile our army, and now seeing that Gongsun Chan is weak, he abandoned Gongsun Chan to join our army, intending to protect himself, so capricious, how can he be an ally?" Besides, Tao Qian's father and son and Cao Mengde are not in the same day, and Cao Gong is an ally of our army, if the lord agrees to Tao Ying'er to ask for peace and form an alliance, wouldn't it make Cao Gong feel cold? ”

"Lord, Tao Ying'er deceived people too much, deceived the lord, his messenger should be beheaded, and then Xingshi will ask for guilt!" Xin Ping, another core figure of Yuan Jun's eldest son party, also jumped out and said viciously: "As far as the comments know, that Tao Yingxiao'er had already signed a marriage contract with Lu Bu's daughter of a traitor, and only waited for Lu Bu's daughter to marry as an adult, and now he came to ask for the lord's daughter as his wife, isn't it a joke for the lord?!" ”

"Yuan Gong, the little envoy has something to say about this." Yang Hong was anxious, and quickly jumped out to explain the matter, explaining that Tao Ying was because Lu Bu was capricious, repeatedly reneged on the covenant and repented, and even killed the Xuzhou envoy and tore up Tao Ying's letters, Tao Ying could not bear the humiliation, so he broke off the marriage contract with Lu Bu and decided to marry Yuan Shao's daughter.

Listening to Yang Hong carefully explain the reason, the anger of the already a little angry Yuan Sangong suddenly subsided, and Yuan Shang, who was standing behind the big Yuan Sangong, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admiring his future brother-in-law - even the marriage event dared to repeatedly take out the bargaining chips for political transactions, which is really a masterpiece! Over there, Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and Xin Ping made a loud noise and shouted: "Lord, Tao Ying'er even dares to use marriage as a child's play, his despicability can be seen, if the lord marries with him, won't it make the world laugh?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Jun's eldest son party was blindly messing around and arguing with strong words, Yuan Shang and the trial were inevitably angry, and when the trial was about to speak, Tian Feng, the famous cannon of Yuan Shaojun who was standing in front of him, rushed out of the column and shouted: "You wait to stop, Hugh has to be strong and reasonable, and make trouble unreasonably!" Lu Bu beheaded the unjust destruction of the alliance first, and Tao made Jun break off his relationship with him, what kind of child's play?! Could it be that your father-in-law treats you like this, kills your family members, and takes away your family assets, and you can swallow your anger? ! Not to mention that Tao Envoy Jun has not officially married Lu Bu's daughter, but he has already married, so he can also divorce his wife and marry again! ”

Yuan Shang quietly gave a thumbs up to the trial, admiring the foresight of the trial, and the judge smiled slightly, knowing that he would definitely be able to overpower Yuan Shaojun's eldest son party today. Sure enough, after Tian Feng, who had just committed the crime, roared at his unreasonable colleagues, he turned to Da Yuan Sangong and said: "Lord, according to the following opinion, the lord and Tao envoy Jun have formed an alliance to marry, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, the lord must not refuse, he should promise immediately!" ”

Although he didn't like Tian Feng's strong attitude, Da Yuan Sangong still asked: "Mr. Yuan Hao, please try to say in detail, what is the benefit to me to form an alliance with Tao Ying?" ”

"No!" Tian Feng agreed loudly, and said louder: "First, Gongsun Zhan's wings can be broken, Gongsun Chan and Tao Rangjun turned against each other, all because Gongsun Chan unreasonably extorted a huge amount of money and grain, and after being refused, he cut off the Xuzhou trade road without authorization, Tao made Jun angry and broke the alliance, the fault is all in Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan said that he was at the end of the road, and sooner or later there will be remorse!" If the current lord and Tao Envoy Jun make an alliance, not only can they use Tao Envoy Jun's hand to contain Gongsun Zhan's rebel Qingzhou army, but also make Gongsun Chan and Tao Envoy Jun no longer repeat, and the lord will break Gongsun Chan's rebel thief again, which is as easy as a palm! ”

"Second, Yuan Shu." Yuan Shaojun's other important minister who belonged to the neutral faction also stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Yuan Shu's disrespect and hostility to the lord, in fact, we already know it, Tao Zhijun also has a grudge against Yuan Shu, and has repeatedly won many battles, the lord and Tao Zhijun have formed an alliance, retreating can make Tao Ying contain Yuan Shu, so that he can not grow, and if he advances, Tao Ying can attack Huainan, teach the lord a lesson to the brothers, and even capture Yuan Shu to Jizhou to dedicate it to the lord, it is not impossible!" ”

"Third, Lu Bu!" Tian Feng said again: "Lu Bu has repeatedly disrespected the lord, and he is the surname of the jackal, if he does not get rid of it early, it will become a big trouble, the lord and Tao Ying have made an alliance at this moment, and they can cut off Lu Bu's last retreat, Yan Liangwen and Chou The two generals broke through Lu Bu, and they said that they could wait!" ”

"Fourth, Cao Ying." Seeing that the time was ripe, Yuan Shaojun's hardcore young son party finally stood up and said gloomily: "Although Cao Ying is a friend of the lord, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, Cao Ying occupies Yanzhou, and threatens the hinterland of Jizhou at all times, once the consequences are unimaginable!" If the lord receives a strong reinforcement in the south of Yanzhou, Cao Ying can only submit to the lord forever. This move is also in line with the principle of the soldiers who are far away and close to attack, and the lord must not hesitate. ”

Tian Feng, Frustration and Judge's words did make sense, although Guo Tu and Xin Ping and others next to them had the intention to object, they couldn't find the words to refute it, and the big Yuan Sangong over there also nodded again and again, feeling that these words were very reasonable, but at this moment, a cautious voice suddenly sounded in the lobby, "There is a fifth." When everyone looked carefully, it was Yang Hong, the messenger of Xuzhou who had long been forgotten by everyone.

"Oops, Tian Feng's temper really deserves to be beaten, how can he say these words in front of Tao Ying's envoy, he should be told to avoid it for the time being." Da Yuan Sangong regretted it a little, but the matter had come to this point, Da Yuan Sangong had no choice but to smile at Yang Hong and ask, "Mr. Zhongming, what is the fifth?" Please be outspoken. ”

It was already a bit absurd for the advisors of the Great Yuan Sangong to discuss the pros and cons of the alliance with Xuzhou in front of Yang Hong in a hurry, but Lord Yang Hong's next words were even more absurd than this-Lord Yang Hong said with a flattering face: "Dare to ask Yuan Gong, do you know how much grain Liu Bei and Lu Bu borrowed from Xuzhou when they were friends with our lord Tao Ying?" ”

"How much?" Da Yuan Sangong asked curiously.

"Back to Ming Gong, it took about half a year or so, Liu Bei borrowed 1,000 good horses, 100,000 grains, 6,300 silk cloths, 800 cars, and 10,000 weapons." Yang Hong boasted: "As for Lu Bu, he has borrowed 180,000 pieces of grain and grass, 600,000 yuan, 600,000 cars, 8,500 horses of cloth, and 10,000 weapons from my lord Tao Gong. ”

At this time, the Great Yuan Sangong had not yet reached the peak state in history, and this bit of money, food, and military resources for the Great Yuan Sangong, although it was not too much, was definitely a lot, so not only Yuan Shang behind the Great Yuan Sangong was ecstatic, but the Great Yuan Sangong was also quite surprised, and said: "There are so many lent to Liu Bei and Lu Bu?" The five counties of Xuzhou are so rich? ”

"Back to Yuan Gong, compared with Ming Gong's Jizhou, Xuzhou does not dare to boast of wealth, but it can be regarded as thin and rich." Yang Hong said with a flattering face: "So please rest assured that if Yuan Gong agrees to marry his daughter, he will never be wronged when his love arrives in Xuzhou, and my lord's dowry will also be kept to satisfy Yuan Gong." ”

"Really?" Da Yuan Sangong smiled, and when he was making the final calculation, a woman's voice came from the back hall, and said with a smile: "Yes, at least I am very satisfied." ”

While speaking, a middle-aged beautiful woman led two maids and walked into the lobby with a painting scroll, Yuan Shaojun's civil and military officials present hurriedly saluted, Shanhu saw Mrs., Yuan Shang happily called his mother, Yuan Tan called his stepmother with a bitter face, Yuan Shao also turned to the middle-aged beauty, and asked suspiciously: "Madam, I am discussing with the ministers, why are you here?" It turns out that this middle-aged beautiful woman is none other than Yuan Shao's step-room, Mrs. Liu, "The husband is discussing with the officials, and the concubine should not have come to disturb." Mrs. Liu smiled and explained: "But Fang'er is a concubine, which is a lifelong matter for her, and the concubine must be cared about." ”

Laughing and talking, Mrs. Liu walked to the side of Da Yuan Sangong, knelt down and unfolded the scroll in her hand to Da Yuan Sangong, revealing the portrait of Tao Ying in it, smiled and whispered: "Husband, please look, Tao Yuanjun's handsome appearance is still worthy of our daughter?" ”

Wordy, although our second son of Tao Yingtao is not as good as Pan An Song Yu, he did give birth to a good skin, a long body, handsome facial features, and a lot of money to hook up with a silver woman and a baby, so after taking a closer look, Da Yuan Sangong is indeed very satisfied - Da Yuan Sangong is a person who likes to judge people by his appearance, and the reason why he loves his third son Yuan Shang very much, and coldly treats his eldest son Yuan Tan, a very key reason is that Yuan Shang is much more handsome than Yuan Tan. However, after nodding, Da Yuan Sangong asked curiously: "Madam, where did you come from this portrait of Tao Yuanjun?" ”

"Tao Envoy Jun is a careful person, and he sent a painter to paint his appearance and let the messenger bring it." Mrs. Liu explained casually, leaned into the ear of Da Yuan Sangong, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Fang'er has also seen Tao Yuanjun's appearance, blushing and not speaking, it seems that the little girl should be more satisfied than us." ”

"This little girl." Da Yuan Sangong scolded lovingly.

"Husband, what are you hesitating about?" Mrs. Liu said in a low voice: "Let's not say that Fang'er is satisfied with herself, and then she is the mother of Xuzhou, just now Mr. Yuan Hao and Mr. Guangping's words were also heard, marrying Fang'er to Xuzhou is also beneficial to your husband, what are you hesitating about?" Mr. Yuan Hao and Mr. Guangping are recognized as our great loyal ministers in Jizhou, and their loyal words, husband, you still don't accept them? ”

"I didn't say no." Da Yuan Sangong smiled, and then turned to everyone and said: "The words of Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and several gentlemen are exactly what I want, from now on, our army and Xuzhou will form an alliance and join hands to conquer the traitors in the world!" ”

"Lord Shengming!" Tian Feng and Fu Zhu and the others finally let Yuan Sangong listen to Jin Yu's words once, and immediately agreed, while Yuan Tan hung his head over there, but secretly hated that his old mother died too early, and no one helped him blow the pillow wind next to his father. Yuan Shang laughed so much that he couldn't even close his mouth, knowing that this time he was not only disgusting to his eldest brother, but also a strong helping hand with money, food and soldiers.

"Mr. Zhongming, did you hear that?" Mrs. Liu smiled at Yang Hongyan again, and said, "Go back and tell Tao Yuanjun to tell him to send the dowry gift quickly, and Fang'er is my biological daughter, if Tao Ying dares to bully my daughter, I will not be the first to spare him." ”

"Gong Xie Yuan, Mrs. Xie." Yang Hong kowtowed happily, and quickly patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, Madame, I will definitely bring Madame's words to the lord, please treat Madame's beloved daughter well!" ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Yang Hong's answer, Yang Hong was about to stand up, but Mrs. Liu suddenly said: "Wait, Mr. Zhongming, I have one more thing to ask you." ”

"Madame, please ask, you must know everything and say everything." Yang Hong clapped his chest again.

"May I ask Mr. Zhongming, when the old Tao envoy Jun Taoqian was seriously ill, ......." Mrs. Liu asked casually, "Why do you want to abolish the elder and the young?" Don't set up the eldest son pottery merchant, but set up the second son Tao Ying? ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang stood up their ears at the same time, so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests, and their henchmen and accomplices present were also very nervous, they didn't expect Mrs. Liu to mention this fatal issue as soon as possible, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu quietly snorted, very dissatisfied with Mrs. Liu's fuss in this matter, and Da Yuan Sangong was also a little curious, and said: "Yes, I forgot this question just now, Mr. Zhongming, some people often say that abolishing the long and standing young is the way to take chaos, why does Tao Gongzu want to go against it?" ”

"This ......." Yang Hong was a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart What is the use of you asking me, when Tao Qian stared at his legs, I was still scolding people in Huainan every day, how could I know the reason for this?

After all, Lord Yang Hong is not stupid, and he came up with an explanation after a little calculation, and Yang Hong's brain-made nonsense explanation also made the third prince of Yuan, Mrs. Liu and Yuan Shang happy together-Yang Hong replied with a ghostly reply: "Hui Ming Gong, Mrs. Hui Yu, my lord Lao Tao Envoy Jun thinks that abolishing the elder and establishing the young is indeed the way to take chaos - but abolishing the elder and establishing the virtuous is the way to prosper!" ”

"Good! What a waste Chang Lixian! Yuan Shaojun's ironcore young son party was eager to pounce on Yang Hong and kiss him a few bites, and said loudly with great excitement: "Lord, abolishing the long and establishing the young may be the way to take chaos, but abolishing the long and establishing the virtuous is the way to prosperity!" ”

"Husband, did you hear that?" Mrs. Liu was even more happy, and hurriedly shook the arm of Da Yuan Sangong and said: "Abolishing the long and establishing a virtuous man is the way to prosperity!" Tao Gongzu abandoned his eldest son Lixianzi, and Xuzhou immediately steamed, prosperous, rich and strong, which shows that the abolition of Chang Lixian is the real reason in the world. ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Da Yuan Sangong nodded, and sighed sincerely: "What a waste of Chang Lixian, Tao Gongzu has been confused all his life, and only in the matter of choosing to establish a successor to his son-in-law, he made the wisest choice in his life." ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Shang also couldn't wait to rush up and hug Yang Hong for a few kisses, but also sighed in his heart: "Good brother-in-law! ”

Still heard Yuan Shao's words, but Yuan Tan's face was like ashes, and he also roared wildly in his heart, "Tao Ying Xiao'er, I won't kill you, I swear not to be a man!" ”

"It seems that the people of the old Yuan family are really crazy, I just said something casually, why are they all excited like this?" Lord Yang Hong said so in his heart.

"Mr. Zhongming, what are you still doing on your knees?" Mrs. Liu happily noticed that the great hero Yang Hong was still kneeling, so she smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong Ming, please get up, Shang'er, Mr. Zhong Ming's legs may be numb on his knees, go and give him a look." ”

"No." Yuan Shangxi agreed with a smile, and hurriedly came down to help Yang Hong in person, Yang Hong, whose legs were indeed numb on his knees, thanked him, and struggled to stand up by relying on Yuan Shang's support, but when he was just halfway up, he ............ "Report!" In the long shout, a dusty messenger of the Yuan army held a military information report in his hand, and rushed into the hall with a roll, and before he knelt down, he had already sang: "Lord Qi, Yanzhou emergency military situation, Tao Ying sent troops to Yanzhou, and our army general Yan Liangwen Chou led the army to fight against ............." ”

"Bang!" Master Yang Hong, who had just climbed halfway up, crawled to the ground again after eating, and once again the world was spinning, and there was only one thought left in his mind, "Lord, you are a pockmark, not a pockmark—a pit man!" I finally managed the errand you explained, why did you send troops to Yanzhou again, and you did it with Yuan Shao's team? Do you want me to lose my life?! ”
