Yuan Shu reached out and picked up a piece of melon, and threw it to Chang Nu. "Take it back and give it to your mother-in-law and the little boy to taste. The melons from the Western Regions are worth a piece of gold."

Chang Nu was overjoyed, and happily left with the melon in his hand.

After Yuan Shu gnawed the melon in his hand, he sat under the steps with a sinister smile in his eyes.

"The maid gave birth to a son, yet she still dares to come to see Nai Gong, and see what Nai Gong will do to you."

Xun Chen left the State Shepherd's Mansion, turned around and went to the private residence of Chang Shi Yang Hong.

Yang Hong is taking a rest today, and is preparing food and drinks at home, looking around for drinks with his three or five colleagues, and getting in touch with each other.

Seeing Xun Chen coming to the door, he was not surprised at all, and welcomed Xun Chen to the hall.

"Coming back so soon?"

"You can't hurry up." Xun Chen smiled wryly. "Our lord is harder to serve than the emperor."

Yang Hong smiled.

Although he has never met the Son of Heaven, he has learned from different channels that the Son of Heaven is powerful, but not difficult to get along with, and he doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, not as many rules as Yuan Shao.

However, if Xun Chen said this in front of him, he probably didn't want to go back.

"How's the situation at Danhan Mountain?"

"It's okay, the preparations for the Eastern Expedition are going well, and we can start when the food is in place after autumn." Xun Chen waved his hand. "I came to you to ask you for a favor."

"You said."

"Gaolu said, I'll see Benchu ​​the day after tomorrow. I really don't want to see Benchu. Please tell me that I'm running back and forth, sick and unable to get up."

"Are you hiding for a while, or do you want to hide forever?"

"It's only a moment if you can hide for a while." Xun Chen looked helpless. "After he's gone, I'll decide whether to go back or not, so I don't get tired of seeing each other."

"Since that's the case, why not come to Youzhou? Be a prefect in any county and try to save the land, which can be regarded as serving the court."

Xun Chen smiled and shook his hand.He is not interested in playing for Yuan Shu.

"Is Youzhou going to try Dutian?"

"Sooner or later, we have to try it. Why do we have to wait until the edict comes?"

Xun Chen's eyes flickered slightly. "Shouldn't Jizhou also try it?"

Yang Hong was taken aback for a moment and thought about it. "Jizhou... can it work?"

"Sooner or later." Xun Chen smiled silently. "The big deal is to pick a county and try it out. In fact, I'm also curious, how much difference does it make if we don't spend the fields."

Yang Hong stared at Xun Chen twice, pondering for a moment. "What news did you get?"

Xun Chen smiled triumphantly. "I'll tell you when you come back after seeing Benchu ​​and everything goes well."

Yang Hong smacked his lips, feeling a little helpless.

After all, Yuan Shu's news is still not as well-informed as Xun's.With Xun Wenqian in the palace, no matter what adjustments the emperor makes, the Xun family will receive the news immediately.

In this regard, even the Hongnong Yang family cannot match.

Of course, only the close relatives of the Xun family can know such a secret, and they will not tell others easily.

"It's a word."

"It's a deal." Xun Chen said again: "Gaolu promised too readily, and I always feel a little uneasy. He won't be holding back some bad moves again? Civilization, you pay attention."

Yang Hong nodded in agreement.

-

Early the next morning, Yang Hong rushed to the State Shepherd's Mansion and asked Yuan Shu what he thought.

Yuan Shu repeated his promise to Xun Chen, and then discussed with Yang Hong, asking Yang Hong to meet Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan first, and make corresponding arrangements.

That's all for Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao is not an honest person, he has to be careful.

The conflict between the two was too great, and no one dared to say that Yuan Shao would not play tricks.

Yang Hong was angry and funny.With your reputation as a fierce ghost on the road, are you still worried about Yuan Shao's tricks?

Even so, he said yes.

As Yuan Shu's only adviser and a descendant of Hongnong Yang's family, he didn't want Yuan Shu to have any accidents, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Yang Biao and his wife.

After leaving Yang Hong, Yuan Shu was about to be sent by Yuan Shao to the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes and the five relatives received the state pastoral mansion, arranged a separate courtyard, and ordered Changnu to guard it with heavy soldiers to prevent any idlers from approaching.

He held a banquet to welcome the five clan girls.

He startled the five girls with his first sentence at the meeting. "The imperial court will soon use troops against Wuhuan and Xianbei, and you will all be widows."

The five young women looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

They were married by Yuan Shao to Wuhuan and Xianbei's Marshal Xiaoshuai, and they couldn't help themselves.When they were picked up this time, at first they thought it was someone arranged by Yuan Shao—their husbands all led troops to fight with Yuan Shao, and some of them might still be under Yuan Xi's command, and they hadn't seen each other for a year or two.

It was only when I got here that I found out that it was Yuan Shu's arrangement.

They didn't know what Yuan Shu wanted to do.

But based on their understanding of Yuan Shu, it is estimated that nothing good will happen.

"If you want to be exposed to the public with those Hu Lu, then I have nothing to say. If you don't want to die like this, then listen to me, make peace with those Hu Lu, and return to the Yuan family. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a better marriage for you in the future, to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and no one will dare to laugh at you."

Chapter 721 Meeting Ceremony

Although they knew that Yuan Shu was not a reliable person, but the life in the tribe of the Hu tribe was really unreal. These women thought about it for a while and agreed.

They are willing to do anything as long as they can escape the smelly tent and their vulgar husband.

And they had already heard that the Youyan Dufu Mansion has been preparing for a conquest, and it will be a matter of time before they send troops.The Hu tribe also heard about it, and they were very nervous, ready to flee to the depths of the grassland if there was any trouble.

You Yan protects the name of Xun You, and is more lethal than the white horse general Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shu then said to them again, I will go to see Yuan Shao tomorrow.You were married by Yuan Shao, and now that you are reconciled, you still need Yuan Shao to nod, it is a beginning and an end.If he refuses, it doesn't matter, you will live here.With me protecting you, he can't do anything to you.

Without fussing over these details with Yuan Shu, the five girls readily agreed.

-

Yuan Shao raised his eyelids, looked at Yang Hong who walked into the tent, and showed a reserved smile.

"Civilization, don't come here unharmed? Are you still used to the climate of Youzhou?"

He and Yang Hong are old acquaintances, but Yang Hong was born in the Hongnong Yang family, so he joined Yuan Shu's shogunate naturally, and later left Nanyang with Yuan Shu.

"Thank you Shijun for your concern." Yang Hong said a few words politely, explaining the purpose of his visit tactfully.

Xun Chen ran back and forth, fell out of exhaustion, and was bedridden. Please ask me to convey my apology to you.

Yuan Shao's brows trembled slightly.

Xun Chen avoided seeing him, but he was mentally prepared. "Where is he? Is he very ill? Is there a good doctor?"

"It's nothing serious, just tired, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Yuan Shao nodded and said nothing more.This was a disagreement within his shogunate, and Yang Hong couldn't let Yang Hong see the joke.

"How is the road?"

"Very good. Tomorrow he will come to meet the envoy, let me take a step ahead, greet the envoy, and discuss some arrangements by the way."

Yuan Shao smiled. "Is he afraid that I want his life?"

Yang Hong also laughed. "Your words are serious. No matter how serious the enmity is, you are still brothers. There is no life-and-death struggle. This is just a routine, and it is to give an explanation to the court, so as not to be gossip."

Yuan Shao snorted and lowered his eyelids.

Yang Hong understood and got up to say goodbye.

After a while, Yuan Tan received his account and reported to Yuan Shao the result of his discussion with Yang Hong.

To be safe, the two sides will meet on the shore of Yishui.As for whether Yuan Shu will come to the south bank or Yuan Shao will go to the north bank, it is up to Yuan Shao to decide.

"Can the road come to the South Bank?"

"Uncle Lu said, father is brother, he is brother, he should come to see you."

Yuan Shao felt better.

"It's rare for him to be so thoughtful, let's meet at the South Bank." Yuan Shao sighed. "I haven't seen him for ten years, and I don't know how he is now, whether he is as gray-haired as me, and he is dying."

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "In terms of youth, Uncle Zhonglu is indeed younger. He doesn't have as many gray hairs as his father. But compared to his demeanor, he is far behind his father. He is still the same as he was in Luoyang back then, and hasn't changed much."

"Really?" Yuan Shao laughed rarely, and chatted with Yuan Tan for a few words.

-

On the morning of the third day, Yuan Shu set off in a hurry, took Chang Nu and a hundred fine cavalry, and rushed to the edge of Yishui.

He left Chang Nu and Jingqi on the north bank, and crossed Yishui by boat alone.

Yang Hong rushed up to greet him, and quickly explained what had been discussed.

Yuan Shao was already waiting on the high platform built, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at Yuan Shu who was striding forward.

Yuan Tan stood under the stage, bowing his hands in salute.

Yuan Shu nodded in return, untied the knife from his waist, and threw it to Yang Hong.

"Civilization, don't go up, wait below."

Yuan Tan quickly said: "Uncle, there is no need to do this."

Yuan Shu patted Yuan Tan on the shoulder. "Boy, I won't make it difficult for you. I know better than you what your old man's temper is. He just pretends to be indifferent on the surface, but he doesn't know how nervous he is. If I really want to go up there with a knife, I won't be able to speak properly. "

Yuan Tan smiled awkwardly.

Yuan Shu spread his hands, and said again: "Here, you can see clearly, I don't even bring a book knife with me, you don't have to worry that I will kill him. Just talk about it later, in case there is a quarrel, Don't be nervous either."

Yuan Tan quickly said: "Uncle's words are serious, Uncle's words are serious."

Yuan Shao heard clearly from above, and said loudly: "Xiansi, you stand farther away. Even if we two fight later, don't worry about it. It's been so many years, and I was just about to beat him up to vent my anger Well. Gonglu, hurry up and talk, don't dawdle, you are not a refined gentleman, why pretend to be slow."

Seeing this, Yuan Tan had no choice but to greet Yang Hong, walked dozens of steps, and tried not to listen to the two people on the stage.

He was aware of the grievances between the two of them, and also of Yuan Shu's temper, swear words would be unavoidable later on.As a junior, he didn't hear well.

Yuan Shu climbed onto the high platform and circled Yuan Shao twice.

"If I remember correctly, you are fifty this year, right?"

"Forget your heart." Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"A person over fifty is not a child. If you die of anger later, it will not be a loss."

The smile on Yuan Shao's face stiffened.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect Yuan Shu to curse him to death as soon as he opened his mouth.If Yuan Shu hadn't left the saber below, he was really worried that Yuan Shu would draw the saber and chop him.

"Don't worry. I'm not as narrow-minded as you think. You won't be mad at me."

"It's better to be like this." Yuan Shu took out several documents from his pocket and handed them to Yuan Shao. "Look at this first."

Yuan Shao took it suspiciously, and his expression changed immediately.

This is the Heli Shu of the five clan girls he sent to be married.Although he was not familiar with their handwriting, the private seal was still clear, and it didn't look like a fake.

"Where did this come from?"

"They wrote it by themselves." Yuan Shu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "They were sent to the Hulu by you, and their life would be worse than death. When I heard that I had arrived in Youzhou, I sent someone to see me and asked me to come forward as the head of the family and take them back to the Central Plains. I thought, this is your mistake , I should give you a chance to make corrections, so I brought it here. If you have no objections, just sign your name and use your seal, and agree."

Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically.

The five Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes were the source of cavalry he relied on as his arm, two of them were by his side, and the other three were fighting in Xuzhou, how could it be possible to reconcile Li.

Hu people are arrogant, how can they let go of this great humiliation.

"Nonsense, where are they? Let them tell me face to face."

"It's so majestic." Yuan Shu stopped, tilted his head, and looked at Yuan Shao with disdain. "Do you really think you have to agree? Let me tell you, this is to give you a chance to correct your mistakes, not to ask for your favor. Do you want to see them? Do you have this face? Wife? You are really honoring your ancestors."

Yuan Shao was so angry that his face was ashen. Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Shu said again: "Oh, I was wrong. I really regarded you as a gentleman, but I forgot that you have always been a shameless hypocrite. If I remember correctly, Xian Yi You were born when you were chasing after your mother’s funeral, right? Tsk tsk, there are three ways to be unfilial, the greatest thing is to have no offspring, you are really a filial son.”

Yuan Shao was furious, he threw He Lishu aside, and drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Can you say that again!"
