Yuan Shao turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the mountains in the distance. After a long moment, he sighed softly and turned to his mount. Fu Zhu was still standing on the side, Yuan Shao saw that he didn't move, and coughed. Frustrated, he came back to his senses and hurriedly followed. The two got on their horses and walked back side by side. Sometimes the road is narrow, and he is left behind, and after this paragraph, Yuan Shao will wait for him in front to follow.

But the two never talked again, thinking about their own thoughts. When he occasionally fell behind, he would unconsciously look at Yuan Shao's back. Yuan Shao's back was very straight and thick, which matched his broad shoulders, and there was no sign of aging. If there was one thing to fault with him, it was that his neck was a little forward, as if he couldn't bear the weight of his head.

It should be because of the tall figure. Frustrated to himself. Yuan Shao is tall, nearly eight feet, coupled with this black horse under his crotch, he is far taller than ordinary people when he rides on horseback, even if the other party also rides, he will be a head shorter than him, if the other party is standing on the ground, he has to lower his head. For a long time, he had a habit of bowing his head.

Seeing that Guo Tu, Tian Feng and others were in the distance. Yuan Shao suddenly glanced back at Fu Zhi and said with a smile: "Gonghe has watched all the way, do you think I'm old?" ”

Fu Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly shook it: "The lord is in the spring and autumn period, how can you say that you are old?" He paused, and then said: "I remember that when Han Gaozu entered the customs and was crowned King of Han, he was about this age. ”

Yuan Shao laughed "poof", and then shook his head again. "This is not Guanzhong, and I have no intention of being crowned king. At that time, Emperor Guangwu was able to gain a foothold in Hebei, because of the support of Hebei heroes, Dingding Central Plains, and the world. How old was he then, he must have not been standing yet, right? originally thought that Emperor Guangwu was already a young hero, but now that he met Sun Ce, he knew what a real young hero was. Yuan Shao sighed lightly, showing a bit of loss between his eyebrows. At his age, I just made the Puyang Order. The future is terrifying, and I am not deceived. ”

Frustrated Zhu frowned, and suddenly chuckled: "Lord, Han Gaozu may have thought the same way when he faced Xiang Yu at that time, but a few years later, in the next battle, Xiang Yu committed suicide, and Han Gaozu ascended the throne as emperor. ”

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, and stopped talking.

The two came to everyone, and Yuan Shaolang laughed loudly: "The spring is just right, the prince and the proposal to follow the story of the sages, climb Mount Tai and the small world, what do you think?" If you don't have any opinions, Yuan Hao, you choose an auspicious day, and we will go up the mountain together. ”

Tian Feng was inexplicable. Yuan Tan was newly defeated, and the situation in Yanzhou was so urgent, how could Fu Zhu propose to climb the mountain, and it was to climb Mount Tai? Mount Tai can be hundreds of miles away, and thieves are rampant, security is a big problem. He looked at Frustration. He understood what he meant, but he couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so he forced a smile and didn't respond.

Without waiting for any objections from everyone, Yuan Shao rode back to the city. Guo Tu and the others followed closely, Tian Feng lagged behind, and only then did he have time to tell the story. After hearing this, Tian Feng glared at him.

"You, smart one, foolish for a while."

Frustrated, he hurriedly asked Tian Feng for advice. Tian Feng stroked his beard. "If you look at the age, it would be good to cite the story of Gaozu to explain the lord, but Gaozu was originally a scoundrel, but Xiang Yu was a nobleman of Chu State, is it similar to the current situation? You say this, but to remind the lord of his age, there is no other use. ”

Frustrated, he was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that he slapped his forehead twice. "Brother Yuan Hao has taught me a lesson, but I was confused."

Tian Feng continued: "The lord's entry into Hebei was originally the story of Emperor Guangwu. Why was Emperor Guangwu able to gain a foothold in Hebei? ”

Frustrated, his eyes rolled thoughtfully. "The lord wants to marry Hebei Haojie?"

"That's right. The lord is old, the Li family is in front, and the Liu family is behind, even if he is interested, I am afraid that no one will want to marry him. Yuan Xiansi, as the eldest son, was originally the most suitable, but he was first married, and secondly, he was not favored by the lord, so no one mentioned it, and now that he was defeated and captured, he can be excluded. I heard that Feng Ji once inquired about which family in Jizhou had a suitable woman, and it seemed that he wanted to marry Yuan Xianyi. But everyone knows that the lord's favorite heir is not the second son Yuan Xianyi, but the third son Yuan Shang, so this matter has been delayed again and again. The current situation is different, and the lord is anxious to stabilize the situation, so he has to use marriage to maintain people's hearts. ”

Frustrated nodded repeatedly. "It's still Brother Yuan Hao's subtle knowledge. In this way, it is difficult to change the meaning of the lord? ”

Tian Feng turned his head and glanced at Fu Zhi, and sighed. "In terms of the situation alone, your advice is undoubtedly the best. As a matter of reality, it's okay to be weighty. Yuan Xiansi's tens of thousands of troops were broken, and if the lord went on an expedition, he would need at least the same number of troops to win or lose. Counting the rest of Cao Ang and Zhu Ling, at least another 30,000 people will be gathered. With so many soldiers and horses, it is by no means a one-sided general, and it is necessary for the lord to go out in person. How can such a big war be decided in a few words? Those who can influence the mind of the lord are not you and me, but only the south. ”

Frustrated with the same feelings, he sighed. He is the same as Tian Feng, he is just a strategist, no matter how well he plans, if the powerful factions such as the trial and matching do not support it, Yuan Shao can only sigh with admiration.

"Gonghe, you can go back to Yecheng. This matter is related to the great cause of the lord and even more to the whole of Hebei, and cannot be taken lightly. You go to Yecheng and explain to Zhengnan that you have to advance and retreat together, whether you are competing for the opportunity or holding the weight. ”

Frustrated, he nodded his head.

In the distance, Guo Tu tilted his head slightly, looked through the crowd, looked at Tian Feng and Frustrated who were left behind, and a disdainful smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. Back in the city and dismounted in front of the mansion, Yuan Shao signaled that everyone didn't have to go in with him, but just glanced at Guo Tu. Everyone dispersed one after another, Guo Tu slowly packed up, and when everyone else was almost gone, he followed. There was already someone waiting to lead him to the back hall.

Yuan Shao took off his big hat, only wore a spring shirt, and was dancing with a knife in the courtyard. The posture is vigorous and the shot is sharp, and he can't see the appearance of being nearly half a hundred years old at all, but has a little more calmness and atmosphere unique to middle-aged people.

Guo Tu stood quietly aside. He didn't need to look at it to know that what Yuan Shao was holding in his hand was the Sizhao knife he offered. At this moment, Yuan Shao was dancing with a knife, and with this knife, he had roughly guessed what Yuan Shao meant. The knife is also there. Yuan Shao hesitated in his heart, and needed someone to help him make a decision. Fu Zhu and Tian Feng are both rare wise and resourceful, but they are just strategists, but he is Yuan Shao's Sizhao Knife.

"Public rules, what do you think about Yanzhou?" I don't know when, Yuan Shao stood in front of Guo Tu, and the knife was still in the sheath, a little panting, but it was well controlled and looked calm.

"Yanzhou?" Guo Tu frowned. "The lord is serious, it's only half a mountain."

Yuan Shao was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "The public has the style of a general. Then you can talk about this half of Shanyang. ”

Guo Tuqing coughed and pulled the list out of his sleeve. "My lord, you might as well take a look at this first."

Yuan Shao took the list, glanced at it, and handed it back. "I originally thought that Cao Ang was different from Meng De, but now it seems that they are still in the same vein, and they want to solve everything with money. Wasn't the Cao family copied by Sun Ce, how could he still have so much money? ”

Guo Tu unhurriedly folded the list and retracted it in his sleeve. "Lord, this is not the Cao family's money."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, his eyes shrunk, sharper than the Sizhao knife in his hand.
