Watching Man Pet walk across the suspension bridge, the smile on Yuan Tan's face was still there, but it was already uglier than crying.

He tried to turn away, but was firmly held by Simbi. Mao Jue didn't know when he stood on the other side, blocking Yuan Tan's retreat and the eyes of others. Yuan Tan was very strange, he hadn't noticed the existence of Mao Jue, and he didn't know when he appeared. But Mao Jue came at the right time, and his firm stance gave Yuan Tan a lot of comfort and set an example for others. Even if someone is afraid and wants to vote for Sun Ce, they can't be too blatant.

"Sun Ce is domineering, and the king is the king." Mao Jue said softly. "Domineering can't last long, only the royal way can win people. Full of Boning is a cool official, and the gains and losses have nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Yuan Tan exhaled lightly, and his mood calmed down a little. He didn't reuse Manpet, also because of Manpet's cruel name. Before he was full of favor, he abandoned the official because when he was appointed as the Gaoping order, he interrogated Zhang Bao, the governor of Gaoping County, to death, which caused the anger of the Gaoping squire and had to abandon the official and return. When such a person comes to Sun Ce's hands, with Sun Ce's support, he will definitely get worse, and I don't know how many people he will offend. Sun Ce is not necessarily blessed to be favored.

"Thank you Hyo-sen."

The three of them stood side by side, and their voices were low, only they could hear clearly, and the others only cared about discussing, only seeing Yuan Tan moving as loose as a loose and not losing his demeanor, but they didn't know that Yuan Tan was only one step away from gaffe. After Manzhong got on the horse and went away with Sun Ce, Yuan Tan put down his hand, sighed lightly, shook his head, and went down to the city.

The crowd also dispersed one after another, talking softly as they walked, some saying that Sun Ce was vicious, and this time he was only afraid that the people around Changyi would suffer. Some say that Yuan Tan has a demeanor, can sacrifice himself for others, and has the demeanor of a benevolent person. Some sighed and prayed for reinforcements to arrive soon. Some are arrogant and dry, claiming that they want to be inseparable from Sun Ce, and the loudest one is Li Gan, who has just been attached.

Yuan Tan heard Li Quan's voice and understood Li Gan's intentions, but he was still very grateful. Under such circumstances, he is still willing to fully support him, at least it shows that Li Gan still has confidence in him. He gave the guard a look, and the guard understood, and quietly went. When Yuan Tan returned to the inner city, Li Gan's son Li Cheng was already waiting at the door.

"Where's Captain Li?" Yuan Tan motioned for Li Cheng to follow him into the mansion, and said softly as he walked.

Li is of medium stature, half a head shorter than Yuan Tan, and he has to tilt his head when he speaks, both excited and nervous. Their father and son did not vote for Yuan Tan for a long time, and they came relatively late, and they were not very valued by Yuan Tan, and they only became an ordinary school captain. This time, when he encountered an unexpected situation, Li Qian had an idea and deliberately showed his loyalty, which really attracted Yuan Tan's attention and gave him the opportunity to talk to Yuan Tan so closely.

"My father said that Sun Ce was coming, the situation was urgent, and the people were uneasy, and he wanted to check the city defense first to make sure that it was safe, and he couldn't come to see the envoy in time, so he sent me to ask the envoy for his guilt. After checking the city defenses, I will listen to the teachings of the envoy. ”

Yuan Tan couldn't help but laugh. Although this Li Gan is rude, he is still a little scheming, although this scheming looks no different from that of a child. But that's exactly what he likes.

"Captain Li is public and selfless, and honesty is a model, what is the crime?"

Yuan Tan politely invited Li Quan to take a seat, and asked some about the recent situation of their father and son to show concern, and then asked about the situation of the Li family. Li Quanquan had already prepared, talked eloquently, and introduced it in detail. The Li family is a huge savage, but their father and son are the power accumulated in the Cheng clan, with a total of more than 5,000 guests, and the 3,000 people led this time are the elite among them, and some of them remain in the Cheng clan, commanded by his brother Li Jin. If Yuan Tan needed it, they could rush to Changyi at any time to reinforce him.

Yuan Tan expressed his gratitude, but he politely declined. "I understand the good intentions of the virtuous father and son, but your family also needs to be protected. Sun Ce is menacing, and sooner or later he will go to Juye to plunder. Your father and son support me, Sun Ce will definitely retaliate, it is better to make plans early. ”

Li Cheng laughed. "Reassure you. Although Sun Ce was fierce, he did not dare to go to Juye to commit murder. It's not that my Li family has a strong strength, but that my family is close to Ju Yeze, easy to defend and difficult to attack, unless Sun Ce transfers water to come, otherwise even if he has 100,000 male divisions, it will be useless. ”

Yuan Tan was very curious, and specially asked Li to explain in detail. Junozawa is an important part of his plan, and controlling it is very important for them. If the Li family has such strength, then he can't treat Li Gan as an ordinary hero, and attach importance to Li Gan's role. Xin Bi also felt the same way, so he specially took a map and a pen and paper, and asked Li Chuan to explain it in detail. Li Quan was flattered, picked up a pen and paper and wrote and drawn, eager to show all his family wealth to Yuan Tan.

After listening to Li Quan, Xin Bi gave Yuan Tan a look. Yuan Tan understood, reached out and patted Li Quan's arm. "I really have no eyes, only Zhongju father and son have a little force, but I didn't expect to have such knowledge. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me for my father, son, and brother. ”

Seeing Yuan Tan so polite and calling his words directly, Li Quanle couldn't close his mouth, but he still said a few words modestly.

Yuan Tan took the opportunity and said: "The Li family is so powerful, there must be a lot of talents, now is the time to employ people, if you dare to bow down, Tan is very honored." ”

Li Zhengzheng was in his arms, talked for a long time, and finally waited for Yuan Tan's words. Isn't it just to be an official by clinging to Yuan Tan? The Li family in Juye wants money and money, and there are people who want people, but their careers are not smooth, and they have not been an official like a county magistrate. He immediately reported a list of names, detailing their abilities. Yuan Tan laughed in his heart when he heard this, Li Cheng said so smoothly, obviously he had prepared it a long time ago, and he was only afraid of a lot of water.

Yuan Tan asked people to write it down, but he didn't hire him immediately, claiming that he wanted to discuss it with Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi. Li didn't think too much about it, and went satisfied. After sending Li Quan away, Yuan Tan asked people to invite Yuan Yi and Mao Jue to come, and it didn't take long for Mao Jue to come first. Yuan Tan was very polite, got up in person, lowered his rank to greet him, and was doubly courteous.

Mao Jue was not very excited. He went up to the hall and took a seat, listened to Yuan Tan finish what happened, and then read the long list and pondered for a moment. "Most of these people are brave and brave, and they can be captains and military marquises, and there are probably only two people who can really be generals." Mao Jue nodded on the list. "One is Li Gan's eldest son Li Jin, and the other is Li Gan's subordinate Li Dian. Especially Li Dian, he is a rare scholar in the Li family, loyal and righteous, so that if you can take it for your own use, you can be a general in the future. ”

Yuan Tan and Xin Bi exchanged a look, very puzzled. "Since Xiaoxian knows so much about them, why didn't he mention it before?"

Mao Jue was unhurried. "Before, the Assassin's Mansion was full of talents, and there weren't so many vacancies. Bian Rang was killed in the front, and the full favor was taken away, and then I don't know how many people will abandon the office, and there are many vacancies, so it is natural to recruit new people to fill the vacancies. ”

Yuan Tan was embarrassed and talked about him left and right. Simbi remained silent, as if he had not heard it.
