Chapter 289: If you want me to kill my brother, you have to add money
Hearing that Yuan Tan's name for himself had changed, Hua Xiong understood in his heart that this kid was tempted.
He smiled and said,
"Nephew Yuan Tan, do you have any concerns?"
Yuan Tan's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed,
"It's just that Yuan Shangnai is my own brother......"
"Stop, you're just half-brothers."
Hua Xiong interrupted him.
Yuan Tan was not embarrassed, but said with a smile,
"But our brothers have a deep relationship, and they are no different from brothers.
If the king of Wei wants me to kill my own brother...... Gotta add money! ”
The others around looked at Yuan Tan in amazement.
It was the first time they had seen such a brazen person.
In the front, it was said that the siblings were brothers, and the back would let me add money.
Huaxiong is angry and funny,
"Okay, how do you want to add money?"
"It's very simple, after the matter is completed, the King of Wei will make me the Marquis of Jizhou, and I will be in charge of the land of Jizhou."
Hua Xiong groaned slightly, nodded and said,
"Yes."
Yuan Tan was overjoyed, hurriedly drank back the guards on the left and right, and knelt down on one knee towards Huaxiong,
"Minister...... Meet the Lord! ”
Peng An, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others, seeing that their lord Yuan Tan had already knelt down, they couldn't stand there, so they knelt down one after another.
"We meet my lord!"
"Excuse me."
Hua Xiong stepped forward with a smile and helped Yuan Tan up,
"You have a nephew to help me, and it is like a tiger to help my uncle."
Yuan Tan also had a bright smile on his face, "When my nephew meets Uncle Hua, it's as if he saw his father." ”
"In that case, why don't you recognize me as your father?"
"Father-in-law!"
"Yoshiko!"
The two of them clasped their hands tightly together, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
What a picture of a father's love and filial piety!
Not to mention Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Peng An, even Zhou Cang and Wei Yan on the side were dumbfounded.
What's going on?
It was tense just now, how could this become a godfather and godson?
This Nima, how is it like a dream?
Hua Xiong took Yuan Tan's hand, came to the tea shop, and sat down around an abandoned table.
As soon as Yuan Tan sat down, he couldn't wait to say,
"Father-in-law, when are you going to support me with food, grass, and ordnance?"
"Tomorrow I can transport 10,000 stone of grain and 50,000 people worth of ordnance to the Yellow River."
Hua Xiong replied, then changed the conversation and asked,
"Then Wu'er, when are you going to attack Yuan Shang's thief?"
"Rest assured, father-in-law, I have been training 30,000 soldiers for a long time, but I have no weapons.
As long as my father-in-law's food, grass and ordnance are delivered, I will immediately send troops to Yecheng in a few days!
When the time comes, I hope that my father-in-law will be able to lead his troops to cooperate with me. ”
"It's easy to say."
Hua Xiong agreed.
The two discussed military affairs again, and then chatted gossip, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Hua Xiong got up to say goodbye.
"Father-in-law, it's better for you to stay for a while, so that the child can fulfill his filial piety."
Yuan Tan said reluctantly, and even squeezed out a few tears in his eyes.
"Hey, I also want to enjoy more family fun with you.
It's a pity that the DPRK and China are busy with official business, and when Yuan Shang is pacified, let's have a good reunion between father and son. ”
Yuan Tan got up to see him off and stood outside the door to watch.
It wasn't until he couldn't see Hua Xiong's back that the smile on his face disappeared.
Yuan Tan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Lord, why do you want to cooperate with Huaxiong? Isn't this a game of stealth? ”
Guo Tu stepped forward.
"Of course I do." Yuan Tan sneered, "I'm just hypocrisy and snakes." Let's use Hua Xiong's hand to eradicate Yuan Shang's bastard first! ”
"But Hua Xiong is not easy to deal with."
Xin Ping's brows furrowed, and a trace of worry appeared on his face.
Yuan Tan sighed helplessly and looked at his two strategists,
"Do you think I will confess the thief as my father? I'm just helpless. ”
If he doesn't cooperate with Hua Xiong, relying on his own strength, if he wants to get back what belongs to him, it is simply a fool's dream.
"Don't worry, when Yuan Shang is destroyed and his power is accepted, I will have the confidence to argue with Hua Xiong!"
A ruthless look flashed in Yuan Tan's eyes,
"When the time comes, I will definitely give him back the shame I received today!"
……
Hua Xiong and the others rode horses all the way, and soon rushed from Liyang to the Yellow River.
Taking advantage of the time on the boat, Zhou Cang couldn't help but say,
"Lord, Yuan Tan's kid has thief eyebrows, I don't think he has a good heart."
"Yes, I think so too. That kid is coy, I'm afraid he just wants to take advantage of the lord. ”
Wei Yan echoed on the side.
Hua Xiong glanced at them and immediately burst out laughing,
"Even you can see it, how can I not see it?"
Both of them were stunned.
"Then why does the lord still support Yuan Tan's grain and grass ordnance?"
"It's just a way to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf."
Hua Xiong smiled slightly.
Yuan Shao is strong, although it is divided into Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and his nephew Gao Gan, but it is still not to be underestimated.
You must know that after the Battle of Guandu in history, it took Cao Cao almost eight years to pocket all the original four states of Yuan Shao.
This shows how deep Yuan Shao's family foundation is.
If Huaxiong wants to take the north, he must not be in a hurry, which will only lead to heavy losses.
So he set his sights on Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not compatible, but they are famous in history.
In order to deal with Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan took the initiative to find Cao Cao, didn't even care about the messed up, married his daughter to Cao Cao's son, and set an alliance, which shows how jealous he hated his younger brother.
Hua Xiong found Yuan Tan to deal with Yuan Shang, which was the most suitable.
Of course Hua Xiong knew the conspiracy in Yuan Tan's heart.
But even Yuan Shao is not Hua Xiong's opponent, how can his waste son be able to fight Hua Xiong?
After listening to Hua Xiong's words, Zhou Cang and Wei Yan suddenly realized.
"The two brothers fought to the death, and we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
When we're almost done, we'll clean up the mess again, so that we can reduce our losses.
The lord is really resourceful. ”
Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Wen Chang, you have a lot to learn when you follow the lord."
Zhou Cang said with a smile.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Counting the days, it's almost time for Wenyuan and them to finish their studies, and they will return to Luoyang."
Hua Xiong said softly.
Considering the need to use troops in the north, the original one-year training course was compressed to half a year.
By the time Hua Xiong returned to Luoyang City, the final exam had already ended.
Hua Xiong came to the lecture hall, flipped through the report card at hand, and couldn't help laughing,
"Wen Yuan, Gao Shun, you people can."
The generals under Hua Xiong all passed the exam with excellent results.
"That's all the master's supervision."
Zhang Liao smiled calmly.
