Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 51 The Theory of the Restaurant, the Confused Zilong
Anyi is just a small city, not to mention stationing a large army, even Yuan Tan's [-] cavalry troops entering the city would be troublesome.

Besides, Anyi had just been destroyed by the Huns, and it hadn't been built yet, so Yuan Tan simply didn't let his subordinates follow him into the city.

He only took Zhao Yun with him, and went straight to Anyi City.

Originally, Yuan Tan wanted to ride lightly into Anyi, and went directly to find Cai Yan without wasting time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Anyi, the soldiers guarding the city seemed to recognize Yuan Tan, and immediately notified the guard of Anyi.

"I didn't expect that the eldest son would come to Anyi in person. It really surprised the general. Please make sure that the eldest son can clean up the dust!"

The guard of Anyi is a general whose name Yuan Tan has never heard of, but he is very flattering to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan was still a little confused at first, but soon figured out the joints.

Although Anyi in Hedong is nominally still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, Boss Cao withdrew from Hebei after the Battle of Guandu ended.

Originally, they still maintained a certain degree of independence, and the guards of the small towns that vacillated between the Yuan family in Hebei and Prime Minister Cao in the Central Plains, such as Anyi, couldn't sit still.

Although they were city guards, they received imperial salaries and held official positions in the imperial court.

But in fact, they are all from local wealthy families, and they are just generals elected. This is naturally a good position in peacetime.

Although they can't attack the local wealthy families, they can extract a lot of oil and water from those mud-legged people.

But in troubled times, this is purely a top tank seat.

Once the city is broken, the imperial court will be held accountable, and the princes who broke the city will not be able to be so kind to the city guards introduced by the wealthy family in this place.

If he can save his life, he can go to the field.

Right now, although Yuan Tan did not attack Anyi, the Xiongnu broke through the city before, and Yuan Shao led his army into the city later.

Although Yuan Shao never made it clear from the beginning to the end that he would take Anyi back to the General's Mansion.

But the guard of Anyi no longer wants to live in such fearful days.

He didn't have a high status in the family, otherwise he wouldn't have been pushed out to be the guard. Seeing Yuan Tan coming over now, he wouldn't be trying his best to please him.

All he wanted was to get Yuan Tan to nod and acknowledge his position as city guard.

For this guard, Yuan Tan really didn't have much ill feeling.

Still the same sentence, Anyi city is small, and the actual power is controlled by the local wealthy family. His city guard is just a name, not to mention dispatching troops.

It is a blessing to be able to protect yourself.

Besides, the performance of this city guard is quite good.

According to the people Yuan Tan had rescued from the Huns before, before the Huns came, this city guard, who seemed a little timid, escaped from Anyi immediately.

But he did not forget to send people to summon the whole city to let the people go out of the city to take refuge, and he sent orders along the way to let the people in the countryside leave quickly and flee to the nearby mountains to avoid the hunt and arrest of the Huns and wolf cavalry.

At least tens of thousands of people have been preserved through the efforts of this guy.

"General Qin is so polite. I'm just passing through Anyi to visit a friend. There's no need for Jie Feng."

Yuan Tan said lightly, but after thinking about it, he still said one more thing, to reassure this guy,
"However, although it is a serious crime for a general to lose his land, General Qin has also made great contributions to protecting the people. I have heard that if you lose your land, you will lose both people and land. If you lose your land, you will gain both people and land. Therefore, General Qin You don’t have to worry too much, I will tell my father about it for the general.”

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, the guard surnamed Qin was startled at first, then overjoyed, he bowed to the end, "Thank you, Eldest Prince, for your understanding."

As he said that, Qin Chengshou laughed again, moved closer to Yuan Tan, and handed a piece of paper to Yuan Tan,

"The eldest son came to visit friends in Anyi. It would be inconvenient to live here. In the end, he still has some family property in Anyi. There is a separate courtyard here. Not only is the environment quiet, but what's more rare is that it is quite spacious. There is open space for horse racing and archery. Give it to the eldest son, and please don't refuse."

Yuan Tan picked up the piece of paper, but it was a deed, pondered for a moment, nodded and said,
"Forget it, I'll take over the yard, just to make you feel at ease."

After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He said that he would intercede for him, but he would not accept any benefits from him. Thinking about it in another way, Yuan Tan also felt uneasy.

Sure enough, when Yuan Tan nodded and took over the house, the guard surnamed Qin let out a sigh of relief, and left immediately.

Yuan Tan, together with Zhao Yun and several personal guards, went to the house to rest.

It was getting late now, everyone had traveled for several days, and they just had a rest. By the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yun had already started to help Yuan Tan prepare gifts for visiting friends.

Yuan Tan realized a serious problem.

"It's really..." Yuan Tan patted his temples with a headache, and ordered his followers,
"Go to the city, and help me find out where Miss Cai Yan lives. Zilong, don't clean up, and follow me to the restaurant to ask."

Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Tan in bewilderment. He came all the way and saw that Yuan Tan was indifferent from the beginning to the end.

Never expected that this so-called visiting friend didn't even know where his friend lived?
Yuan Tan was a little embarrassed by Zhao Yun's strange eyes, and immediately went into a restaurant with a stern face and hands behind his back.

It was almost noon now, and the restaurant was crowded with people, quite lively.

Yuan Tan and Zhao Yun picked up a secluded seat and sat down. Before Xiao Er came up to greet them, they heard someone discussing.

The city of Anyi is small, and the news that Yuan Tan brought five thousand light cavalry stationed outside the city had already spread to most of Anyi last night.

"The army is stationed outside the city. Although there is no danger right now, there is no guarantee that no soldiers will attack the people!"

Someone was drunk and couldn't help saying loudly,
"Who here doesn't know, who is under the command of that army? That is under the command of Yuan Tan, Mr. Yuan. How can his army abide by military discipline?"

A scholar shook his folding fan, closed it with a snap, and said with a sneer,

"Exactly! He Yuan Tan is just an ignorant dude, how capable is the army he brings out?"

"I'm afraid, his army will be the same as the others, they are all the ones who rob people's daughters and harm the people!"

However, there were also discordant voices among the guests, but they didn't dare to say too loudly, they just retorted softly,

"But Mr. Yuan Tan led the troops and rescued all the people who were taken away by the Xiongnu."

"Hmph! Words from a fool!"

The scholar who was the first to speak sneered, shaking the folding fan in his hand, with a look of disdain,

"How can you trust the words of a fool in the countryside? In my opinion, they are just rumors deliberately spread by Yuan Tan, just to make his contribution!"

"What a sour scholar!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore. He regarded Yuan Tan as both a teacher and a friend, and seeing Yuan Tan being slandered at this moment.

Immediately wanted to get up and teach the scholar a lesson.

However, before Zhao Yun got up, Yuan Tan had already reached out his hand to stop Zhao Yun, and said with a smile,
"Why should Zilong be angry with this kind of people, they are just a group of clowns, not worth it."

Unlike Gao Lan, Jiang Qi and other Yuan family veterans, Zhao Yun began to call Yuan Tan the general after accepting the post of Captain Cavalry.

To show that he regards Yuan Tan as the main priority, not the Yuan family.

At this moment, seeing Yuan Tan's indifferent face, Zhao Yun couldn't help admiring Yuan Tan even more, but he still couldn't help saying,

"General, you must know that thousands of people pointed out that he died without a disease. If such corrupt scholars slander the general's reputation, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the general's reputation!"

However, Yuan Tan still smiled lightly, "Zilong don't have to worry, this is what I want."

Zhao Yun: "???"

"Ding, Scholar A thinks you're not worthy of such a big responsibility, I'm so happy, experience value +199"

"Ding, old man B thinks you are self-righteous, indulge in soldiers, experience value +199..."

"Ding, Zhao Yun thinks that you have a noble state of mind, and you are unmoved by external objects. I admire you very much, and your experience value is +6999!"
