When Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang heard this, they were anxious!

Yuan Xi hurriedly said: "Father, at present, the enemy's five-way soldiers and horses are besieging Jizhou, the situation is not favorable to us, my father must not go out of Yecheng lightly, in case there is a mistake, but it is too late to regret!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at him coldly and snorted: "I think that at the beginning, when you were stunned for a woman, you sent troops from Youzhou without authorization, and ruined Yuan's Youzhou soldiers, did you ever think of today's advice?" ”

Yuan Xi's face turned red when he heard this, he really didn't expect Yuan Shao to remember the incident a few months ago.

But it's no wonder that Yuan Shao remembered that for such a big matter, if it were someone else, Yuan Shao would have killed his whole family a long time ago, but the reason why Yuan Xi's family can still survive until now is only because Yuan Shao himself is the same family as him.

Yuan Shang always had Yuan Shao's position in mind, and at this moment, his reaction was obviously much smarter than Yuan Xi's.

"My father is a hero in the world, how can I defeat the pottery thief? The child is willing to accompany his father and fight the pottery thief with his father! ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "This is what a man should say!" ”

The judge hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ming Gong, the spies came to report, saying that after Cao Cao's army evacuated Liyang, he turned to Sanhe, but did not attack Bingzhou, but turned back to Luoyang. ”

"Sending troops to Guanzhong?" Yuan Shao frowned and said, "In this way, the generals of the state can be mobilized?" ”

The judge nodded, "Yes." ”

Yuan Shao lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said: "If Yuan gathers troops and fights with the pottery merchants, Yecheng is empty, in case of a sneak attack by others, it is not good, if the state army can be transferred to come, then the rear can be guaranteed......

The judge nodded and said: "I also took this into account below, so I came to advise Ming Gong, in addition, the state army is all fierce soldiers, and their behavior is barbaric, if they are allowed to garrison in Yecheng, it will also be a deterrent to the scholars in Yecheng, but it can ensure the stability of Yecheng, and everyone in the city must not dare to move lightly." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "This statement is indeed true. ”

After listening to Yuan Shang, his heart was a little remorseful.

The state army came to Yecheng to garrison, doesn't that mean that Yuan Tan also has to accompany the army?

Isn't that a fuss?

In fact, letting Yuan Tan come back to guard Yecheng was really Yuan Shao's thoughts.

Either way, it was his own son.

Since expelling Yuan Tan to Bingzhou and assisting Gao Gan, Yuan Shaoming only asked about Yuan Tan's situation on the surface, but secretly he has been sending people to inquire about Yuan Tan's performance.

To Yuan Shao's surprise, Yuan Tan's performance was unexpectedly honest.

He practiced martial arts diligently every day, studied military books, and trained soldiers, never causing trouble, but doing his part conscientiously.

Hearing Yuan Tan's performance, Yuan Shao's heart was a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of those things at the beginning, saying that there was a special relationship between Yuan Tan and the potter, it was inevitable that this child was wronged a little, no matter what, he was his own son, how could it be possible to say that he had defected to the enemy?

But over the years, for the sake of face, Yuan Shao has never invited Yuan Tan to come, but the father and son have never even met.

Now that he has suffered a big change, for some reason, Yuan Shao has always dreamed of this eldest son in his dreams recently.

It's a pity that Yuan Shang is still there by his side after all.

As long as there is Yuan Shang, he will never let Yuan Tan get another chance easily.

"Father, if you summon the state army, do you want to call my brother back?"

Yuan Shao glanced at him lightly and said, "What, your brother is back, are you not happy?" ”

Yuan Shang hurriedly said: "Father misunderstood, my brother and I are close relatives, how can I be unhappy to let him come back...... It's just that the child feels that this time against the potter, for my Yuan family, is the most important thing in the past ten years, and it is also the most sinister level...... My father might as well let my brother go with us to conquer the pottery merchants, and in the future, this matter will spread all over the world, and there will also be a good reputation of my father and son working together to fight against the pottery thief. ”

Yuan Shao pondered carefully, nodded and said, "But it's the same truth." ”

Yuan Shang relieved his heart at this time.

The judge said: "In this case, I will first dispatch the state army to Yecheng, and then leave the senior cadres here to help me defend the city, and the eldest prince is the main force of the lord to help the lord and go to fight with the pottery merchants." ”

……

Yuan Shao's order soon spread to Taiyuan.

After Gao Gan received the letter, he hurriedly summoned Yuan Tan.

"Xiansi, you see, uncle, he still thinks about you in his heart, he called us to drive troops to Jizhou to help this time, and the letter specifically mentioned you, let you go with you!"

Yuan Tan looked at the letter in Gao Gan's hand, and said expressionlessly: "The Hebei crisis, exhausted, just thought of us?" Hehe, such a father is really hard to find in the world. ”

Gao Gan was silent for a while, and said, "He is still your father after all......"

Yuan Tan sighed and didn't say anything, he said to Gao Gan: "Yes, he is my father after all......"

With that, he walked out of the hall.

Gao Gan knew in his heart that Yuan Tan had been uncomfortable in his heart all these years.

In the Battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang's treatment of him had already made his heart die.

This knot in the heart is beyond the persuasion of outsiders.

Yuan Tan returned to his residence and began to order people to sort things out and prepare to send troops to Jizhou.

At this very point, the butler came to him and said, "General, there is one who has come to visit you." ”

"Which one?" Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly said, "Oh, please go to the side hall to talk about it." ”

The person who came to see Yuan Tan was Mi Fang from Xuzhou.

Since Yuan Tan arrived in Bingzhou, the potters would always send Mi Fang to secretly come to Yuan Tan with gifts after a while.

There are many shops in the north of the Mi family, and Mi Fang occasionally takes a leave of absence and secretly comes to merge with the state on the grounds of operating her own industry, which is reasonable to some extent.

For more than a year, Mi Fang sent gifts to Yuan Tan on behalf of the pottery merchants, not only some gold silk property, but also some home-cooked daily necessities, as well as snacks and fruits in the south.

In those days, it was necessary to transport fruits and food to prevent decay.

And these costs, sometimes, are just to make Yuan Tan eat a bite of sweet oranges.

And when the potter sent these things to Yuan Tan over the years, he never had any other requirements for him.

Although Yuan Tan's nature is fierce, he is somewhat unbearable in the face of such a sugar-coated cannonball from the potter.

"Thank you, General Mi, for letting you run your errands again, I'm in trouble!"

Mi Fang hurriedly smiled: "No trouble, no trouble, the eldest prince is polite, it's all trivial things, but this time, it may be the last time the prime minister gives gifts to the eldest prince, I'm afraid that the next day, the two of you will have to fight on the battlefield, but this matter is helpless, and the prime minister is also helpless." ”

Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Prime Minister Tao Cheng has already counted this matter?" ”

Mi Fang said: "The prime minister not only counted this matter, but also asked the eldest prince to be more careful after arriving in Jizhou, don't look at this trip is called by Yuan Gong, but look back and say that there will be no villains harming each other, and please pay more attention to the eldest prince." ”
