On the second day after discussing with his family to recruit Yuan Mai and Deng Ai into the army, Yuan Shang issued an order, and the sons of Zhuo Yanliang and Wen Chou entered Yecheng to be seen.

Yan Liang's son Yan Yuan is currently the captain of Xindu Chengtun, and Wen Tu, the son of Wen Chou, is the middle marquis of Yuyang County.

After the two came to Yecheng, they first prepared a ceremony at the post house, and then met Yuan Shang.

When they actually met, Yuan Shang found that the appearance and temperament of the two were very different from what he imagined.

When Yuan Shang returned to this era, it was at the end of the Battle of Guandu, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou were already dead at that time, so Yuan Shang had not seen it, but over the years, he had heard some about the two generals who were most relied on by Yuan Shao in the past.

It is rumored that both of them are brave generals known for their bravery, and their force is better than governing the army.

His father is like this, so in Yuan Shang's heart, the sons of the second general should also be people who are known for their bravery, and he silently gave the son of the two five big and three thick, fierce face, and tiger back.

It was only after seeing Yan Yuan and Wen Tu that Yuan Shangcai felt that his thoughts were a little wishful thinking.

Yan Yuan and Wen Tu are not very old, they are probably about twenty-two or three years old, slightly younger than Yuan Shang, seven or eight feet tall, and their faces are not fierce, heroic, or handsome, they can only be regarded as ordinary, but after all, they are tiger generals, both of them have a bit of heroism, but in the faint sense, there is a bit of weakness.

Yuan Shang's gaze swirled back and forth on the two of them, nodded while looking, and said in appreciation: "Well, yes, it is indeed a tiger general, and it is indeed a dignified appearance." Heroic and extraordinary, but unfortunately it is a little more bookish. ”

Under the hall, Yan Yuan respectfully gave a military salute and said: "Lord Qiqi, the two of us lost our father at a young age, and the family suddenly lost its top beam, which led to the decline of the clan. My father was good at martial arts and not literary during his lifetime, and he was too self-contained and brave, so he was killed by Guan Yu, and I kept in mind the former enemy, changed the original style, practiced martial arts, knew the soldiers, read, and cultivated his temperament, and over the years, he was more Confucian and angry, but he was less violent and perverse. ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this. Said: "I see, the so-called shame and then courage, the death of Ling Zun is ashamed, and it is brave to uphold its will and sharpen itself." You two are good people...... Yan Yuan, your name seems to be in line with the ancients, who gave it to you? ”

Yan Yuan smiled when he heard this: "It's a shame to say that the last general was not called this name in the first place. Nine years ago, my father died at the hands of Guan Yu, and my mother was inexplicably sad and changed her original intention. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my father as a general, so I imitated the ancient name, chose the surname of Yan Hui, the head of the ten philosophers under the sage of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period, and changed the name to Yan Yuan for the last general. ”

Yuan Shang nodded and sighed: "Your mother changed the name of the saint for you, because she hoped that you would abandon martial arts and follow literature, and I didn't want you to abandon martial arts although you were from literature, but you never gave up martial arts. ”

Yuan Shang turned his head, looked at Wen Tu with a smile and said, "Wen Tu, does your name have a meaning?" ”

Wen Tu's face turned red, and he lowered his head and speculated: "The last general is ashamed, his name has never been changed, and it has no meaning. ”

Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh regretfully when he heard this.

Wen Tu was anxious when he saw this, he saw that Yan Yuan had changed his name once, and he was praised by Yuan Shang, he didn't change his name, Yuan Shang didn't praise himself!

He is also a fierce general, can he stand his self-esteem at this moment?

Wen Tu was ruthless, and said: "Since the establishment of the lord's career, he has fought in the south and the north, and he has become famous all over the world, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats!" The last general has deep admiration for the lord, and it is really a great honor to be called by the lord today! If the lord does not give up, the last general will dare to ask the lord to change his name for the last general! ”

Yuan Shang was taken aback: "You asked me to change your name for you?" This one...... Not quite right! ”

Wen Tu shook his head and said: "The Yuan family is as kind to the Wen family as a mountain, and the reuse of our reckless martial arts is now two generations of grace, what is it to change the name?" I hope that the lord will not be polite, and change the name of the general! ”

Yuan Shang touched his chin when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Well, Ling Zun used to be famous in four states, and his martial arts were the best in Hebei, and his name was unknown to everyone, his name is Wen Chou, you are his son, then you are called ......"

Wen Tu looked expectant: "What is the name of the last general?" ”

"Then you will be called Wen Chouu!"

Wen Tu: "............"

*********************************

Xuchang, Deyang Palace.

The name of Deyang Hall is taken from the name of the old palace of Luoyang, the eastern capital of the past, which is intended to commemorate, it is located in the north of the imperial city of Xuchang, there is a clamp city inside, there is a gate water in the east, there is a round base in the north, there are five halls outside the court, and there are three palaces in the inner court. The outer wall is 1,200 meters long from the northwest corner of the palace to the south, and 800 meters wide in the east.

In the warm pavilion in the southwest of the hall, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a white face and few slight beards, was sitting on the soft couch of the dragon seat, looking at a golden brazier not far away, he was wearing a black and yellow dress, a white jade leather belt with a belt, a jade hook and a scarlet, luxurious and graceful.

Compared to his gorgeous attire, his expression was clearly not very healthy.

To say that he is not healthy does not mean that his complexion is not good, but that his demeanor is slightly atrophied, and there is nothing to be seen in his thin eyes at first glance, but if you dig carefully for a while, you will find that the depths of his eyes are full of deep sorrow and compassion and self-pity for the world.

This man is the most honorable person of the day!

On the other hand, he is also the saddest person in the world.

Whoever saw him in the world had to kneel and bow nine times, respecting and respecting, but they also sneered at him from their hearts, secretly despising him.

He was born in the world for only 27 years, but he has experienced 18 years of puppet life, and has experienced humiliation and suffering that ordinary people have never encountered in their lives.

He lost his mother because of power less than a month after he was born, and was disrupted by Dong Zhuo at the age of nine, followed by the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao.

He is none other than Liu Xie, who is today.

"Your Majesty." Outside the door, a small yellow door came with a respectful expression, and gave a gift from afar: "The auxiliary general is out to ask to see His Majesty." ”

It was not until this time that Liu Xiefang came back to his senses from his reverie, he straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and said, "Xuan." ”

Xiao Huangmen took the order, and when he was young, he saw an old figure walking slowly into the hall, and gave Liu Xie a courtesy to the monarch and ministers, and said: "After the ministers are finished, please see Your Majesty." ”

"The abbot is exempt." Liu Xiexu raised his sleeves and motioned to get up: "Guozhang, a few days ago, you entered the palace to congratulate the celebration of the New Year, what did I say to you, how did Guozhang think?" ”

Liu Xie had just finished speaking, but he raised his hand when he saw Fu Wan, signaled Liu Xie to silence, and then moved to various windows and doors, looked around for a long time, and only returned to Liu Xie after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.

"Your Majesty must be cautious when summoning your relatives in the future, for fear of leakage." Fu Wan patiently persuaded the words.

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Don't worry, although the Cao family has many ears and eyes, but in recent years, I have been able to refine and suppress the palace, and this palace can be regarded as peaceful. ”

"It's better to be careful." After Fu finished admonishing again, and then groaned slightly, Fang said: "What Your Majesty said to the old minister before next year, according to the old minister, it is not the right time at this moment, the old minister also asks His Majesty to endure for another three years, and wait for His Majesty and the old minister to accumulate enough strength in these three years. ”

"I have to wait for three years......" Liu Xie's face stiffened a little: "Guozhang, now that Cao Cao is dead, the top pillar of the Cao family has collapsed, although Cao Zhi is in power, he is young and weak, the government and the opposition seem to be stable, but in fact, there is an undercurrent flow, such a God-given opportunity, if I miss it, I will no longer have the opportunity to be pro-government in this life!" ”

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is dead, but his henchmen and friends are still there, Cao Zhi is young, but he is not easy to deal with!" Just from the past when he took over Cao Cao's power in one fell swoop with the power of thunder, the old man saw that this young man was not simple! He is not Cao Cao's eldest son, but he can do his best to win the heart of Cao's old department, win Cao Pi, and remove him from the circle! And compared with Cao Zhi and Cao Cao, although the resourcefulness is not as ruthless, but it is a little more good, in just over the years, Cao's internal and external civil and military brothers are all convinced of it, all of them abide by their own ways, even Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, but also respect him very much, no less than Cao Cao back then, at this moment Cao Zhi has stabilized Zhongzhou, if His Majesty wants to be pro-government now, I'm afraid it's not the right time! ”

Liu Xie sighed, shook his head, and said, "Because of this, I can't wait for three years!" It took Cao Zhi less than a year to win the hearts of the people, if I give him another three years, won't the hearts of the people in the world be brought to him? ”

Fu Wan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, otherwise, although Cao Zhi is benevolent, he himself does not have Cao Cao's heroic strategy!" When it is undecided today, there is Sun Quan in the east, Yuan Shang in the north who looks at the world, and Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle in the south, is always waiting to rescue the Son of Heaven Kuang Fu Han Family! Cao Zhi is just at peace for a while, and there will still be a big war in Zhongzhou sooner or later! According to the old minister's intentions, a few years later, when Cao Zhi and the princes of the world were in flames, Xu Du was empty, and His Majesty would ascend to the heights at that time, calling loyal ministers to support the government, and calling the emperor's uncle to raise troops to serve the king, like a thunderous blow, so that Cao Zhi was caught off guard, so that the Han family could be prosperous, and the world could be determined! ”

Liu Xie thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, the time you said is too long, and the variables are too great, and I really can't afford to delay it!" ”

After Fu Wan, he was a little heartbroken: "Your Majesty, you have endured humiliation for eighteen years!" Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan are all dead, and even Cao Cao is gone, why are you unable to wait for the last three years? ”

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Those old thieves, at least they are more than 20 years older than me, and I have dragged them until they die, but Cao Zhi is different, he is young, much younger than me!" If I deal with him in the same way as an old thief, at the end of the day, I am afraid that the one who will be dragged to death will be me, Guozhang, is there no other way? ”
