Chapter 234 Where is My Son?Still not welcome?
It's not that Yuan Tan didn't consider Gao Lan's suggestion.

But when I thought about it, if Daddy Cheap came over, it would definitely not be Daddy Cheap alone.

Many important ministers in Hebei will definitely accompany them, and when the time comes to attack Shouchun, all kinds of wrangling will inevitably hinder them.

It's not as refreshing as he came alone with the Xuzhou army.

What's more, with a tiger crouching and a cannon in hand, his Xuzhou army is more than enough to attack Shouchun.

Therefore, Yuan Tan did not agree, and drove out of Xuzhou with the Xuzhou army, heading directly for Shouchun.

……

At this time, Yuan Shao, as most of Cao Cao retreated from the Yellow River ferry, the entire defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River became extremely empty.

During these days, Yuan Shao divided his troops and mopped up some of the soldiers Cao Cao left behind in various camps on the south bank of the Yellow River.

On the other side, they dispatched manpower, rearranged new lines of defense and camps, fought steadily, and gradually pushed the frontline battlefield to the territory of Runan.

After finishing all this work, Yuan Shaocai finally put the return to Xuzhou and stabilizing Xuzhou people's hearts on the agenda.

He really didn't expect that Yuan Tan would not be waiting for him in Xuzhou.

After all, after defeating Xuzhou, in Yuan Shao's view, Cao Cao's remaining cities were all hard nuts to crack.

As far as his own son's troops are concerned, not to mention other cities, it is only Shouchun who wants to capture it, and it is in Yuan Shao.

No, to be precise, it is an almost impossible task in the eyes of all Hebei officials.

After all, they didn't even know about Yuan Tan's establishment of the Xuzhou Army.

The tiger squatting cannon in Yuan Tan's hand is even more secret among secrets. Apart from Jiang Qi and the army craftsman camp, even Huang Zhong and Pang De, who followed him to the expedition, don't know.

So in the eyes of the officials in Hebei, Yuan Tan still has the five thousand young soldiers under his command.

It is already a blessing to win Xuzhou by surprise attack.

If you still want to attack Shouchun, then it is really wishful thinking and not greedy enough.

However, from Yuan Shao's point of view, Yuan Tan has Gao Lan, a calm person, by his side.

In addition, he had just conquered Xuzhou, and the general affairs of stabilizing people's hearts were enough for Yuan Tan to have a headache.

No matter how unreliable Yuan Tan was, he wouldn't be able to do something like leaving Xuzhou to attack Shouchun before Xuzhou could stand firm.

So Yuan Shao walked very leisurely along the way, and even had time to think.

After arriving in Xuzhou, after all, he wanted to reward his son and make him the governor of Xuzhou, which was also a meritorious service.

If he is still not promoted or degraded, let him continue to hold Xuzhou Mu's seat in front of him, so that he can be vigilant so that he will not do anything out of the ordinary in the future.

With such thoughts in mind, Yuan Shao even had the heart to invite Guo Tu and Feng Ji over to inquire.

Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Feng Ji and Guo Tu unconsciously looked at each other.

Taking advantage of the thoughts of the two of them, Yuan Tan should not say that he is Xuzhou Mu, it is best to give him the title of general.

Whether it is the state shepherd or the governor, this kind of border official, if the official position with important power is given to Yuan Tan.

God knows what else this eldest son can do.

Fortunately, Xuzhou was captured this time, so what if it wasn't captured?

Yuan Shao really crossed the Yellow River and was hit head-on by the well-prepared Cao Cao. Even with the good situation in Hebei at this time, there may be a chain reaction of defeat.

A wave of blows collapsed.

But Yuan Tan's contribution this time is real, and it would be too harsh if he really didn't reward him at all.

Even Feng Ji and Guo Tu, who were at odds with Yuan Tan, felt a little unreasonable.

Both of them fell into hard thinking. Fortunately, there is still some distance to Xuzhou, so they have enough time to think slowly.

Finally, just when Yuan Shao led a large group of troops and was about to approach Xuzhou.

Feng Ji, who had been thinking hard, his eyes lit up, looked at Yuan Shao and said:

"Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, the Eldest Young Master should not have any titles!"

As soon as Feng Ji's words came out, Yuan Shao and Guo Tu immediately understood what Feng Ji meant, and their eyes lit up.

Yuan Shao even smiled and nodded:
"As Mr. Feng said, Tan'er has made so many contributions to Hebei, but he doesn't even have a title. It's a bit too much. Why don't we take this opportunity to give him a title?"

You must know that in today's world, there are very few people with titles, which is different from the proliferation of titles in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, the title is still quite rich in gold, not to mention all the fiefdoms that should be there.

More importantly, none of the generals in the Hebei Army has ever won a title.

For the Hebei generals who have been considered by the world to be the most likely to win the world, each secretly began to compete.

Just to see, who can be the first to win the favor of the lord and get the title.

After all, the sooner one gets the title, the higher one's title will be when the world is at peace after accumulating military merits in the future.

The higher the status is!

Even if the horse is released to Nanshan, when the sword and gun are put into the warehouse, there is a title with him, and he can rely on this title to favor his descendants!

Of course, although these things are too far away for Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, they are useless.

But after all, it was the first title awarded in Hebei, and as a reward, it was more than enough.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled. It's just that what kind of title is better for Tan'er?"

The title system of the Han Dynasty was very chaotic. The [-]-level nobility system was paralleled with the new Marquis of Guannei, Marquis of Che, and Liehou, which was a mess.

Unless one was born as a serious ceremony official, even the aristocratic family would have a headache seeing the distribution of titles.

In the end, Yuan Shao made the final decision:
"Let's give Tan'er the title of Marquis of the Countryside first, and make him the Marquis of Wu Township. When he makes meritorious service in the future, he can be raised as appropriate!"

Feng Ji and Guo Tu were taken aback for a moment.

Marquis, according to the current nobility system, Duke Marquis Bozinan, then County Marquis, Township Marquis, Ting Marquis, and Guannei Marquis.

Originally, when they proposed conferring titles, at most they thought that it would be enough to confer Yuan Tan a pavilion.

But when Yuan Shao came up, he actually gave Yuan Tan the title of township marquis?
It seems that although the prime minister always said that he was rebellious, in fact he still loved his eldest son very much.

Feng Ji and Guo Tu looked at each other with envy.

But when he thought of Yuan Tan's achievements, there was nothing too entangled.

Immediately, the two clasped their hands together and said:

"The prime minister sees clearly, I will bow to you."

"Hahahaha! The two gentlemen, get up quickly. If the two gentlemen hadn't opened their mouths and offered advice, I really wouldn't have thought of this."

Yuan Shao smiled and pulled the two of them up, looking at the Xuzhou city gate that was getting closer and closer, his heart became more and more excited.

Heh heh, brat, you don't want to take your father's words seriously, and now your father is here with his title.

You don't know how to be funny, hurry up and flatter your father?

Immediately, Yuan Shao couldn't help poking his head out, and yelled at the city wall of Xuzhou:
"Where is my son Yuan Tan, why don't you come out to greet him quickly?"
