"Wait a minute!"

Before he could walk out of the hall, Yuan Shao turned his head, his eyes fell on Guo Tu, and he said in a deep voice, "You enter the palace immediately and ask for an edict from the emperor."

Guo Tu bowed slightly and asked in a low voice: "May I ask my lord, how should I write this emperor's edict...?"

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth: "How about this, you let the emperor seal Ma Teng as Liangzhou shepherd, and give his son a Xiaoqi school lieutenant!"

"Yes……"

Guo Tu agreed, but secretly murmured in his heart: "When did my lord become so generous?"

Before he finished his thoughts, he heard Yuan Shao continue to say: "After you get the emperor's edict, you go to the Hedong area immediately, and tell Tan'er that after Ma Teng retreats, immediately lead the troops to rescue Youzhou!"

"I obey!"

Guo Tu agreed, entered the palace and asked for the emperor's edict, followed behind Qianzhao, and rushed to Hedong overnight.

Two days later, the two returned to the camp.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu was already impatient with waiting.If Zhao Yun hadn't stopped him, he would have led his army to attack the enemy camp.

Seeing the return of Qianzhao and Guo Tu, all the generals were relieved, and immediately sent people to the Xiliang barracks to inquire about Yuan Tan's news.

Unexpectedly, when the spies came back, all the generals were dumbfounded.According to the spies, instead of being persecuted by the Xiliang generals, Yuan Tan became a guest of honor.

Guo Tu frowned, and asked in a low voice, "You said... Could this be Ma Teng's trick?"

"Why is it so troublesome?" Zhang Xiu suddenly stood up, and said coldly: "According to what I said, let's rush into the enemy camp and rescue the lord!"

Zhao Yun sighed, and said helplessly: "Brother, use your brains, if the lord is restrained, what should we do?"

Zhang Xiu hugged his head and said frantically, "Then tell me, what should we do?"

"Well..." Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "There are still [-] elite cavalry in the battalion. It is really difficult to destroy the Xiliang army in one go, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xiu interrupted: "Junior brother, just tell me what you want my old Zhang to do!"

"Brother, would you like to guard the village?"

"No, I'm going to pick up the lord!"

"Okay then, brother lead five thousand elite cavalry to the flank of the enemy camp. If the enemy pursues the lord, immediately attack the enemy camp!"

Having said that, Zhao Yun turned to Qianzhao, and said in a deep voice: "General Qianzhao, I trouble you to lead [-] elite cavalry to escort Mr. Guo Tu to the enemy camp and bring the lord back!"

"understood!"

Qianzhao didn't care about resting, selected [-] elite cavalry, guarded Guo Tu in the middle army, and went straight to the Xiliang barracks.

When the Xiliang army saw Yuan's army approaching, they immediately put their bows and arrows in a defensive posture.

Qianzhao raised his right hand, stopped the sergeant behind him, and shouted loudly: "Listen, brothers, I am Hebei Qianzhao, and I am here to welcome my lord, and please report to me!"

After hearing this, the guard sent someone to notify Ma Teng, and ordered the soldiers to stand by.

After a while, I saw Ma Chao holding Yuan Tan's hand, and the two walked over talking and laughing.Behind them, there was a heroic man, and it was Pang De!
Seeing this, Qianzhao was stunned.

He opened his mouth slightly, looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and thought to himself: "My lord is really capable, even being a hostage is so different."

When the three of them came to the gate, Guo Tu came back to his senses, and said to Yuan Tan: "My lord Haojiao learned that the emperor has sent an edict to make the old hero Ma the Liangzhou shepherd, and the young general to be the captain of Xiaoqi."

Ma Chao was startled, and asked in surprise, "Brother, has the emperor appointed me an official?"

Yuan Tan smiled and said: "My dear brother is the most powerful general in Xiliang. It is natural for him to be awarded the title by the emperor."

"But I have never been an official!"

Ma Chao blushed and said embarrassingly, "What if I make a mistake and embarrass my elder brother?"

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? You are my brother, so what's wrong with being a little captain?"

Guo Tu waited for a long time, seeing the two talking endlessly, he couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the young general, where is Old Hero Ma now?"

"Oh, my father is still in the camp, please invite your envoy to come in and meet him."

As he said that, Ma Chao made a gesture of invitation, signaling Guo Tu to enter the camp.

Guo Tu got off his horse, followed Ma Chao, and walked towards the camp.Leading the army to stay outside the camp, quietly waiting for the two to come out.

As soon as they entered the camp, they saw Ma Teng coming towards them with Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others.

After the two sides exchanged a few polite words, Guo Tu opened the emperor's edict and said loudly: "Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, has made outstanding military achievements and devoted himself to his duties. He is truly the pillar of the Han Dynasty. Now, Ma Teng is appointed as the shepherd of Liangzhou. I hope that his achievements will be successful." Ju... His son Ma Chao is extraordinary in valor and prowess, and now I have made him the captain of the valiant cavalry school. I hope that he will make meritorious service in my fight against thieves..."

After hearing this, Ma Teng couldn't help being surprised.

He never dreamed that he would really become a shepherd of Liangzhou.Not only that, but even Aiko became the captain of Xiaoqi.

From this point of view, hugging Yuan Shao's thigh is much better than following Cao Cao.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help raising his head, glanced at Yuan Tan, and secretly rejoiced that this kid had become Ma Chao's sworn brother.Otherwise, the attack on Hedong would not end well.

After reading it, Guo Tu put away the emperor's edict and said with a sigh of relief: "General Ma Teng, accept the edict quickly."

Ma Teng stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness."

"It's nothing to do with raising one's hand," Guo Tu turned to Yuan Tan, bowed and said, "My lord, please take a step to speak."

Yuan Tan's eyes flashed, and he winked at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao understood, and led the two of them into an empty tent, then backed out.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yuan Tan stared at Guo Tu, wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

Guo Tu nodded and lowered his voice and said: "My lord has an order. When the Xiliang army withdraws from Hedong, the eldest son must lead the army to reinforce Youzhou."

"Reinforce Youzhou?"

Yuan Tan frowned and asked coldly: "Didn't Zhang He go to Youzhou?"

Guo Tu sighed and said helplessly: "Kebi is brave and good at fighting, but General Zhang has a bad start and has lost every battle. If this continues, Youzhou will definitely fall into the hands of thieves..."

"That's Zhang He's business, what does it have to do with me?"

"My son's words are wrong. If Youzhou is lost, Bingzhou and Qingzhou will not be protected. Please send troops quickly to help General Zhang repel Ke Bineng as soon as possible."

After speaking, Guo Tu turned around and walked out.

Suddenly, Yuan Tan's voice came into his ears.

"Regular, wait a minute!"

Guo Tu stopped and asked in confusion: "What are your orders, Master?"

"I promised to recruit a general, and I want to show up to the emperor and recommend him as a general of Yangwei!"

Yuan Tan took out a bamboo slip from his arms, handed it to Guo Tu's hand, and said with a smile: "When you return to Yanzhou, you must give this to the emperor and ask him to confer the title of General Qianzhao."

Guo Tu was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "This...doesn't seem right?"

Yuan Tan's face darkened, and he asked coldly, "Why is it wrong?"
