Fan Yang in Youzhou is now the headquarters of the entire Yuan family army. Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Tan are all here. The faces of the three of them are not good, as if they are arguing about something. ,
"My lord, my lord!" There was an orderly over there who wanted to step up and call out to the Yuan family brothers, but the three Yuan family brothers ignored him, which made the orderly very embarrassed. Finally, after shouting several times, the three Yuan brothers turned their heads around.
"What's the matter? Didn't you see that we are discussing important matters here!" Yuan Xi, a good old man, also started to get angry. "If today is not a major event, it will be dealt with by military law."
"My lord, my lord!" This military order shocked the messenger. In the past, the Yuan brothers' army was not strict in military discipline, but when Yuan Xi ruled the army, the whole military law was different. Yuan Xi also set up a supervising team. , if there are those who flinch, the supervisory team will be beheaded directly. If there are soldiers in the city who have offended the people and violated the military law, these supervisory teams will also appear, and they will be directly pulled down to the military law for disposal. I shivered.
"My lord, then Yangzhou, Yangzhou has a messenger." The messenger said everything he wanted to say at once.
"Oh, come on, pull it down..." Yuan Xi was about to drag the orderly down subconsciously, but he stopped suddenly. He looked at the orderly, "What did you say? Say it again."
"My lord, Yangzhou, the envoy of His Royal Highness Shu Wang of Yangzhou has arrived in Fanyang and wants to see you, my lord!" The messenger repeated to Yuan Xi.
"Is this true?" Yuan Shang who was on the side stepped forward and grabbed the messenger and asked.
"You little one dares to tell a lie." The orderly was taken aback, there was no joke in the army.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Knowing that the messenger was telling the truth, the Yuan brothers complained. The messenger died unjustly. He had said it earlier. But no one cares about them.
"Where is this envoy from Yangzhou now?" Yuan Xi cut to the point and asked.
"Just entering the city, it's in the Honglu Hall."
"Quickly, bring the envoy to meet me." Yuan Tan was about to ask his subordinates to invite the envoy of the Yangzhou Army.
"Slow!" Yuan Xi stopped Yuan Tan.
"Second brother? The envoy from Yangzhou, did you see the second brother?" Yuan Tan asked suspiciously. You must know that the weapons, armor and even food and grass were sold to you by Liu Wei from Yangzhou. thing.
Could it be? Both Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had smiles on their faces, it was because the envoys they sent had already cried poorly, could it be that Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, showed mercy. Ready to drop your price? If this is really the case, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will laugh to death, so these two people are scrambling to meet the Yangzhou envoy. But now it was stopped by Yuan Xi.
"Brother, third brother! This Yangzhou envoy has just entered my Fanyang. He is tired from the journey and hasn't rested yet. You let people come to see you at this place of discussion. This is rude.
"Yes, yes, or the second brother's thoughtfulness. We should wait for the Yangzhou envoy to rest before summoning him!" Yuan Shang nodded and said.
"Hey!" Yuan Xi couldn't help but sighed when he heard his third brother's words, how could he wait for him to rest before summoning him. You have to know why the envoy of Liu Mang, king of Shu in Yangzhou, came to Youzhou from thousands of miles away. He must not have come here for pleasure. He must have something important to discuss, and you are begging him. Why do you still want to come here? If you want to summon someone, you should be the one to meet them yourself.
"Big brother, third younger brother, let's go, follow me to meet the envoy from Yangzhou!" Yuan Xi said directly to his elder brother and third younger brother.
Only then did the three of them agree with each other with a nod, and headed directly towards Honglu Temple.
"This is Youzhou!" A familiar voice sounded.
"Hasn't your lord been to Youzhou?" asked a Youzhou official accompanying him.
"Yes, I have been in the southern Central Plains for a generation since I was born, and I really haven't been to Beifang." The young man replied.
"Then you should take a good look at it, my lord. Only in the north can you have the aura of a man and the feeling of swallowing mountains and rivers." The Youzhou official who accompanied him said proudly to the young man.
"Really!" The young man asked back. The north is cold, and the land is not as fertile as the Central Plains and the south. Therefore, the people who can survive in the north are basically strong and tall. Because you have to fatten the fat and also resist the cold.
But the south is not bad at all, because it is located in lush forests and vast waters, so southerners pay more attention to flexibility.
Southerners may not adapt to the cold when they go to the north, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. But if the northerners go to the south, it is basically more difficult to fight landlubbers, so each place has its own characteristics, and there is no absolute advantage.
"The Honghe Temple is in front of you, Your Excellency." The official of Youzhou pointed to a tall mansion over there and said, in fact, this is not the Honglu Pavilion at all, because the Honglu Pavilion in Fan Yangzhong has long been broken and broken. No, it is almost in ruins, and the current Honglu Temple was re-branded as Honglu Temple from the house of a big family in the past. You can't let the messenger from Yangzhou chill.
"Hey! There's someone in front." The young man looked in the direction of Honglu Temple over there. Teams of soldiers stood in two rows, and the three men in general armor in the middle seemed to be waiting for someone. It looks pretty imaginative.
"My lord, eldest son, commander?" The Youzhou official also looked in the direction the young man was pointing at. It turned out that the three wearing general armor were not the three giants of Youzhou, Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. Well.
"Let's go!" The young man walked forward without stage fright, got off his horse and clasped his fists at the three men wearing general armor over there and said, "His Royal Highness King Shu of the Han Dynasty has seen the general, and the chariot general , Governor of Youzhou."
"Are you the envoy of His Highness the King of Shu?" The Yuan brothers didn't expect that no one would introduce them to him. Immediately, the young man knew the identities of the three of them. The envoy sent by His Highness the King of Shu was a little too young.
"Exactly, this is Yang Chen!" That's right, this person is Yang Chen. After Lu Su came back from Jiangdong, he continued to be his official minister. With the help of Zhuge Jin, a good helper? The Ministry of Officials is well organized.
Yang Chen also followed Lu Su back to Yangzhou. Originally, Liu Mang also planned to throw Yang Chen to the official department and let him continue to follow Lu Su, but Lu Su refused, because Lu Su's words meant that Yang Chen was kind Movement, officials are still, and movement and stillness are incompatible.
It wasn't that Lu Su didn't want Yang Chen to be promoted, but that Lu Su was doing Yang Chen good.
If Yang Chen was allowed to join the Ministry of Officials. Then Yang Chen's military achievements in the future have nothing to do with Yang Chen. He, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, both of them were literati who studied governance, but Yang Chen was different. The most important thing is to deal with people and talk about favors. Why should he be in the official department? Might as well let it out. Let him be free.
Originally, Liu Mang planned to throw Yang Chen to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Yang Hong, but Yang Chen was unwilling. He didn't want to be under his father's wing, so the last place left was the business department, which was also a place to deal with people.
Liu Mang asked Mi Zhu to send an envoy to discuss business with the Yuan brothers, and Yang Chen was the one who was good at both diplomacy and business.
"Brother Yang Chen, you really are young and promising." Yuan Xi did not have the slightest prejudice against Yang Chen because of his youth, but instead smiled and called Yang Chen "My good brother".
"Lord Inspector is overrated." Yang Chen said modestly.
"Come on, Younger Brother Yang Chen must be tired. Let's enter this Honglu Temple first, and then we can discuss other things." In the army, Yuan Xi is the main one, but outside, Yuan Shang is the main one, because Yuan Shang has the position of a general in him. Woolen cloth.
The four of them entered Honglu Temple together, Yang Chen took a bath and changed clothes, and after the disaster, he attended the dinner party for the three Yuan family brothers under the leadership of the maidservant.
After drinking and eating, Yuan Shang clapped his hands, and after all the kabuki went down.
Yuan Shang finally got to the point, "Brother Yang Chen, I don't know why His Highness the King of Shu sent you here this time." Yuan Shang asked Yang Chen over there.
Yang Chen also put down his wine bottle and smiled, "Great General, General Chariot, Lord Inspector, my lord sent me to Youzhou must be for those armor and weapons."
When Yang Chen said this, the eyes of the three of them lit up.
Yuan Shang was the first to be impatient, "Brother Yang Chen, but His Highness the King of Shu is willing to lower the price, and sell those swords and armor to me at a lower price?" Yuan Tan also looked at Yang Chen, hoping to get the price from Yang Chen's mouth. Get a yes word.
But it's a pity, they are doomed to be disappointed, Yang Chen shook his head, "It's not that my lord doesn't want to lower the price, it's that my lord doesn't want to lower the price, it's that the price of casting such a magic weapon is naturally free, and every one He needs to go through thousands of processes for the sword, choose the fine iron, and then pour it with the spring water from Tiantian mountain, everything else is easy to say, this fine iron and the spring water from Tiantian mountain are rare."
Anyway, the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang don't know how to make weapons and armor, so Yang Chen can say how difficult it is. In fact, as long as the iron ore is mined and put into the boiler, then Just cast it from molten iron.
"That's it, that's it!" The three Yuan brothers didn't understand either, but the weapons and armor were indeed powerful, so they also nodded, but there was a look of disappointment in their eyes. There is another kind of absent-mindedness.
Because if you don’t bargain, what are you doing here? I’ll just buy it from Gongsundu, and I still need you.
Looking at the expressions of the three Yuan family brothers, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth, "But!" Yang Chen suddenly made a 360-degree turn.
"En?" The three Yuan brothers immediately refocused their attention.
"Our lord also knows about the predicament of the General Cheqi and Lord Inspector, so our lord also said that since we are all servants of the big man, the general has no money, so we can barter things." Yang Chen said to the three Yuan family brothers.
"Barter?" The three Yuan brothers looked at each other, and all three of them could see each other's doubts in their eyes.
How is this barter exchange method
"Brother Yang Chen, I don't know what is in my Youzhou that His Highness the King of Shu has taken a fancy to. If His Highness the King of Shu wants it, he will naturally take it without saying anything." Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, said it very simply, but Yang Chen was sneering, it was just a nice word. If he Yang Chen really took it. How could it be taken away without paying the price
"I want money! General. The chariot general and the governor are running out. The food, the general and others are still bought and sold from my Yangzhou. Weapons and armor are also sold in my Yangzhou." Yang Chen didn't say a word, The three brothers of the Yuan family over there were embarrassed. They only now realized how poor they were, and basically had nothing. The only things that can be counted are some local products in Youzhou, and what are those worth.
"Beauties? I have no shortage of beautiful women in Yangzhou. Even if I, Yang Chen, dare to take them back, the mistresses will not spare Yang Chen me!" Yang Chen used a humorous tone, which made the three brothers of the Yuan family laugh too. Many people really knew about Mang's wife, otherwise there wouldn't be anything about the Guo family.
The three Yuan brothers smiled, and immediately the awkward atmosphere dissipated a lot.
"So what exactly does His Royal Highness the King of Shu want?" Yuan Xi asked, Yang Chen said so much but just wanted to lower the price, he said that you can't do anything worse than that. Say what he wants after you are in trouble, so that you will be led by the nose by him. Even if he bought your baby at a low price, you can thank him in return in the end. This is an art of doing business.
Yang Chen took another look at Yuan Xi, there really is someone who understands, if he continues to follow Yang Chen's words, this Yuan family brother can even sell his pants by Yang Chen, and this Yuan Xi directly plans to His own traction directly cut to the point.
"Our Royal Highness the King of Shu only needs one thing, and that is people!" Yang Chen knew that Yuan Xi was a sensible person, so he couldn't fool around anymore, so he directly said his low price.
"People?" Yuan Xi frowned. What kind of people are there
"General Che Qi and Lord Inspector, to be honest, our lord is still related to the three of them." Yang Chen played the emotional card. Suppress prices with relatives' Russian connections.
"That's right! His Royal Highness the King of Shu is still our brother-in-law! Now that I, Yuan Shi, are in trouble, I believe my brother-in-law will definitely not ignore it!" Yang Chen played the emotional card, and Yuan Xi also used the emotional card. The confrontation between the two sides was evenly matched. Yang Chen hoped to use the emotional card to suppress the price, but this Yuan Xi used the emotional card to get Yangzhou to support him for free.
"Our lord has a close friend, Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong." Yang Chen looked at the three brothers and said, Pang Shanmin may not be known to them, but Pang Degong and the others do know. Lumen Academy can be regarded as full of peaches and plums, even in the Among the Yuan family's army are officials from Lumen Academy.
"And Mr. Pang Shanmin came to beg our lord to ask for one from the three generals."
"who!"
"Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao." Yang Chen said who he wanted.
"Tian Feng?" Yuan Tan's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Yes, Tian Feng! I don't know who this Mr. Tian Feng is in the hands of the three generals." Yang Chen asked the three of them.
Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi did not speak, because this Tian Feng was not in their hands, and even Yuan Shang asked, "Isn't this Tian Feng already dead?"
Tian Feng was Jizhou Biejia at the beginning, and he was an important minister beside his father. Because of Tian Feng, Yuan Shao was able to have the unity of Hebei, but later this person offended his father. Before the battle of Guandu, Liu Bei attacked and killed the governor of Xuzhou Che Zhou occupied Pei County and betrayed Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally led his troops to conquer Liu Bei. Tian Feng said to Yuan Shao: "It is Cao Cao who is fighting with you for the world. Cao Cao is now going to Shubian to attack Liu Bei. The fighting between the two sides cannot be ended soon. Now mobilize all troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, and we can calm down as soon as we go. The army is dispatched according to the timing. It's time to create." Yuan Shao excused that his son was ill, and Tian Feng's plan was not implemented. Tian Feng tapped the ground with his crutches and said: "Hey, the big thing is over! It's so hard to catch up with such an opportunity, and it's a pity to lose the opportunity because of the child's illness!" Yuan Shao was very angry when he heard this, and he distanced himself from Tian Feng ever since.
Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Shao would cross the Yellow River, so he stepped up his attack on Liu Bei, and defeated Liu Bei in less than a month. Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao marched to attack Xu County. Tian Feng believed that since he had lost the opportunity ahead, it was not appropriate to send troops now, so he dissuaded Yuan Shao, saying: "Cao Cao has already defeated Liu Bei, and Xudu will no longer be empty. Moreover, Cao Cao is good at using troops, and he is unpredictable. Although his number is small, he should not be underestimated. It is better now. Persevere for a long time. With the solidity of the mountains and the Yellow River, the general has the troops of the four states. Heroes are united outside. Farming is carried out inside to prepare for war. Then select elite troops. Divide them into surprise soldiers. Take turns to fight while the enemy is empty, and use them to harass the south of the Yellow River. If the enemy rescues the right side, I will attack the left side; if the enemy rescues the left side, I will attack the right side, so that the enemy will be exhausted and the people will not be content with their work. We are not tired yet but the opponent is already tired. It will take less than three years. The enemy can be defeated by sitting still .Now you don’t want to use the strategy of winning in the temple to decide success or failure through a war. If you don’t get what you want, it will be too late to regret.” Yuan Shao didn’t listen. Tian Feng tried his best to dissuade him and offended Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao thought that he had corrupted the morale of the army, so he locked Tian Feng up. So he first issued a call to action and went south in a large scale.
Later, in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao won and Yuan Shao lost, and Tian Feng disappeared. Yuan Shang thought he was dead.
"Hehe. If Mr. Tian Feng is dead, General, Yang Chen and I would not have come to Youzhou." Yang Chen looked at everyone with a smile. You must know that although Yang Chen doesn't like to be under his father's wing, he still knows his father's ability. Based on his father's information, if Tian Feng is not dead, then he really is not dead.
"What's the use of His Highness the King of Shu wanting Tian Feng?" Yuan Tan asked.
"Didn't Yang Chen just say it! Mr. Tian Feng and Mr. Pang Shanmin have an old relationship..." Yang Chen hasn't finished talking about his old friend. Over there, Yuan Tan shook his head, "Brother Yang Chen, Ming people don't speak dark words, even if His Royal Highness the King of Shu helps Pang Shanmin for the sake of Pang Degong, he will not come to Youzhou all the way." Yuan Tan is not a fool, This favor is really a big deal, to come to Youzhou all the way for one person.
"Haha, good! Since General Cheqi has said so, then I, Yang Chen, will confess!" Yang Chen stood up with a smile, "General Cheqi, and Lord Inspector, our lord has taken a fancy to Tian Tianyuan Yuanhao I know that this person is a capable person, so my lord sent me here to ask Mr. Tian Feng to go to Yangzhou to assist my lord."
"Tian Feng's talent!" Yuan Tan immediately became vigilant, because Tian Feng really has a great talent, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi may not know it, but Yuan Tan does know it, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi have not come yet Jizhou, this Jizhou is not the territory of his father Yuan Shao, but Tian Feng, who helped his father win the entire Jizhou step by step, and defeated Gongsun Zan after the difficulty. It can be said that Tian Feng was Yuan Tan’s idol at the beginning. I feel that Mr. Tian Feng is Almighty, knows everything.
So after Yuan Tan was arrested by his father, Cao Cao defeated his father. Yuan Tan sent someone to take Tian Feng and left with him. Yuan Tan originally wanted to let Tian Feng assist him, but Tian Feng was unwilling, because There is already a Guo Tu by Yuan Tan's side. What Tian Feng told Yuan Tan is that you can listen to Guo Tu's words in everything to keep you safe, but Guo Tu can't stop Yuan Tan. The position is also to be able to overwhelm his younger brother. He even joined forces with Cao Cao to beat Yuan Shang once, which caused the two brothers to lose Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Yuan Tan kept Tian Feng because he thought Tian Feng could change his mind, so he didn't kill Tian Feng.
But unexpectedly, the news of Tian Feng's life was found out by Shu Wang Liu Mang who was far away in Yangzhou.
"There is no need to doubt, Mr. Tian Feng is in the hands of the three, it is better to give it to our master!" Yang Chen said to the three, "Our master is far away in the Central Plains, and there is no conflict of interest with the three, and we have common interests." The enemy is Cao Cao, even if we become the enemy, then Cao Cao will be wiped out, who knows what time it will be." Yang Chen dispelled these personal scruples, once a person becomes a prince, he is selfish Generally speaking, those who cannot be obtained by themselves will not be obtained by others, otherwise they will become enemies with themselves sooner or later. For example, if Cao Cao cannot obtain Chen Gong and others, there is only one way to kill them.
Even on the original trajectory, Liu Bei knew that he could not get Lu Bu, so he urged Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu in order to disgust Cao Cao and to prevent Lu Bu from becoming his future enemy.
Yang Chen was afraid that once the three Yuan brothers got confused and one of them would kill Tian Feng if he couldn't get it or let others get it, then Yang Chen would cry.
"If Tian Feng is given to you, what kind of price will His Royal Highness Shu Wang offer!?" Yuan Tan asked Yang Chen beside him.
"So Mr. Tian Feng is in General Cheqi's mansion!" Yang Chen asked Yuan Tan with a smile.
Yuan Tan nodded in acknowledgment.
"Mr. Tian Feng's talent is naturally a priceless treasure." Yang Chen said to Yuan Tan.
"Wanjin?" Yuan Tan's eyes lit up. "A hundred pieces of armor?" The armor that Yangzhou sold to Yuan Tan was a piece of one hundred pieces of gold.
"No!" Yang Chen shook his head.
"Ninety pieces?" Ninety pieces also cost more than nine thousand gold.
Yang Chen was still shaking his head.
"eighty?"
Not yet.
"Seventy?" Yuan Tan slowly lowered his request until it reached fifty, but Yang Chen was still shaking his head.
In the end, Yuan Tan couldn't help it anymore, "If it's less than fifty, then Brother Yang Chen. I won't let Tian Feng go."
"Haha. General Che Qi. You are too anxious!" Yang Chen said to Yuan Tan. Yang Chen stretched out a finger. "Our lord is giving this number."
"One hundred armors?" Yuan Tan was a little excited. Although one hundred armors were not many, at least they could give Yuan Tan a bodyguard.
"It's not a hundred, it's a thousand!" Yang Chen said to Yuan Tan.
"What!" Yuan Tan almost lost his seat and fell down. Yuan Tan also knew that he had lost his composure, but he still couldn't help it, "Say it again."
"What's wrong with General Chariot? Did I not explain carefully enough? One thousand is not one hundred, one thousand is our Yangzhou-made battle armor." Yang Chen said his price.
A thousand pieces of armor, if the price is based on takeaway. That's 110,000 gold, which is simply a price against the sky. You must know that the price of Sun Quan, the second grandson, was only 10,000 gold, but this Tian Feng was worth 110,000 gold.
"Is this true?" Yuan Tan asked Yang Chen over there not calmly.
"If it's fake, I, Yang Chen, wouldn't have come." Yang Chen was smiling on the surface, but his heart was bleeding. He wanted to scold the lord of his family for being a prodigal son. Obviously this Tian Feng You can use a hundred, no, even fifty Yangzhou battle armors can be taken down. But the prodigal son of their family gave Yang Chen a mission to exchange a thousand Yangzhou battle armors for Tian Fenglai.
It is also known as "ten thousand gold to buy horse bones". Even if the thousand Yangzhou battle armors were made by oneself, they would cost ten thousand gold.
However, what I said with blood dripping in my heart still has to be done. Who let that be his lord.
"As long as General Cheqi let me see Mr. Tian Feng, the 100 armors I brought along with me can be given to General Cheqi as a deposit immediately, and when I send Tian Feng away, the remaining 900 armors will be given away later." Come on. I, Yang Chen, will leave Youzhou only after handing over to General Che Qi!" Yang Chen said to Yuan Tan. This is to reassure Yuan Tan.
"Okay! Come on, come to my mansion and invite Mr. Tian Feng!" Yuan Tan made a decision immediately, and he exchanged one hundred thousand gold alone. If you can't get up, it's better to pay back the money first to get through the current difficulties.
"Yes!" Yuan Tan's subordinates over there took orders and left. Yuan Tan laughed loudly, and his attitude towards Yang Chen was unusually good.
Yuan Shang next to him is not in a good mood, "Brother Yang Chen, you can't favor one person over another. I have all the people you want, and you can go wherever you want!" Yuan Shang said to Yang Zeng, a thousand Yangzhou Armor, that's really not a small number. Yuan Shang can't do without jealousy. It might not matter before, but now that the money is getting less and less, how could it be possible to look down on it.
"Oh? The general also has some talents from the former Yuan Zhoumu's command?" Yang Chen made it clear that I came here to poach someone, and I want those talents from the former Yuan Shao's command. If you have them, then I will fight for money. A weapon is exchanged with you, if you don't have it, then don't talk about it.
"I really have someone!" Yuan Shang suddenly remembered someone. "This person is not inferior to Tian Feng! Tian Yuanhao!"
"En?" Yang Chen became interested. His original task was to catch all of Yuan Shao's former subordinates. Anyway, those talented people either didn't like Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, or they couldn't use Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. Because there are people like Guo Tuxin, just like Sun Gan would attack Pang Tong, you, a person who is more talented than me, is not here to steal my job, so even if you have Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, you can't use it.
"who?"
"This person is Xun Chen, whose name is Youruo!" Yuan Shang said to Yang Chen who was beside him.
"Xun Chen?" Yang Chen really didn't know this person well.
"This man is Xun Yu's elder brother." Yuan Shang's words made Yang Chen's eyes widen. One of the five heroes of the Xun family? The five heroes of the Xun family are Xun Wenruo, Gongda, Xiuruo, Youruo, and Zhongyu.
These five people are all figures with Wang Zuozhi's talents.
"That's right!" Yuan Shang nodded, "That's the person!"
When Yuan Shao sent Xun Chen to lobby Han Fu, he said to Han Fu: "Gongsun Zan led the troops of Yan and Dai to take advantage of the victory and go south. All the counties responded one after another, and the army was unstoppable. Yuan Shao led the army to move east again, with immeasurable intentions. We are worried about the general." Han Fu panicked, and asked them, "Since this is the case, what should we do?" Xun Chen said, "You can judge for yourself. Generosity, benevolence and righteousness can be attached to the heroes of the world, which is comparable to Yuan Shao. Is it?" Han Fu said, "It's not comparable." Xun Chen asked again: "Then, being calm in times of danger, being decisive in times of trouble, being wise and brave, can you compare with Yuan Shao?" Han Fu said, "It's not comparable." Xun Chen asked again: "Is it comparable to Yuan Shao in spreading kindness and benefiting every family in the world for several generations?" Han Fu said: "Not comparable." Xun Chen said: "Yuan Shao is a man of this era. As a hero, the general is not as good as him in three aspects, but he has been superior to him for a long time. He will definitely not be inferior to the general. Jizhou is an important area rich in resources in the world. If he joins forces with Gongsun Zan to capture Jizhou, the general will immediately Yuan Shao is an old friend of the general, and once formed an alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo. The way is, if you give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, he will definitely thank you for your kindness, and Gongsun Zan is powerless to fight against him. In this way, the general will He has the reputation of being a virtuous man, but he himself is more stable than Mount Tai." Han Fu was timid, so he agreed to their plan.
If Yuan Shao's foundation is a building, then Tian Feng built the superstructure of the whole building, and this Xun Chen is the one who built the foundation of the building.
"He is from the Xun family? Yuan Gong was defeated, why didn't he go back to the Xun family? To stay under your command, General?" Yang Chen asked Yuan Shang suspiciously. Ordinary families, just like Pang Degong's Pang family, the Xun family is also a big family, and basically no princes will embarrass them. Yuan Shao's army was defeated, even if Xun Chen didn't join the Cao army, Cao Cao couldn't have killed Xun Chen, because the Xun family had two outstanding figures working under Cao Cao's command, and he had to give it out of face.
But this Xun Chen stayed by Yuan Shang's side after Yuan Shao's defeat. If it was Yuan Shang's personality charm, he wouldn't believe it even if he killed Yang Chen, would he be loyal? Less likely.
The Xun family is an aristocratic family, not that kind of retainers. They are a big family, just like Zhuge Liang's family. The elder brother is in Jiangdong, and the younger brother is in Yangzhou. Eggs are not put in one basket. Therefore, it is impossible for such a person to be loyal. If Liu Mang was defeated, Zhuge Liang would not follow Liu Mang.
Yang Chen looked at Yuan Shang over there suspiciously, hoping Yuan Shang would give him an explanation, if he couldn't explain, even Yang Chen felt that Yuan Shang was lying to him.
After Yuan Shang explained, Yang Chen also understood the reason why he couldn't laugh or cry, that is, the Elder Xun Chen has no face to go back, because one of Cao Cao's camp is his younger brother and the other is his nephew. Losing to his younger brother and nephew, isn’t it shameful? He was the one who volunteered to come to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao at the beginning. He even persuaded his younger brother and nephew to help Yuan Shao, as if I could take care of you, but now he is The army was defeated, so how could I have the nerve to go back.
So he stayed by Yuan Shang's side, and he didn't make trouble for Cao Cao, because if it made trouble, Cao Cao would know, and if he was caught again, he would really die. It's useless for anyone to ask for mercy, this stay will only last for a few years. (To be continued..)
