When Yuan Shao received Yanbei's letter, a banquet was being held in Nanpi City, Bohai Province, to crown his eldest son Yuan Tan as an adult.

In addition to the crowning, there is also a celebration of Yuan's capture of fishing profits due to the competition between Yanbei and Gongsun Zhan and the snipe and the clam of Gongsun.

Yuan Shao has always disliked luxury, and he has not been so happy for many years since he went to Luoyang to go to the East Gate. No one could have imagined that Yanbei and Gongsun Zhan, the two heroes of Youzhou who were born just across a large river of water, would accumulate so much resentment that they could even fight endlessly without even teasing. This even made Yuan Shao feel that it was a wrong decision to send Guo Tu to murder Liu Yu earlier.

I thought that Yanbei was just a clown who jumped off the beam, and he had some soldiers and horses in his hands, and gathered a group of thieves in the mountains, which made it impossible to achieve a big climate. Na Cheng wanted that in the war between Youji, Yan Zhongqing actually always pressed Gongsun Zhan steadily, and the ruthlessness outside the war was even more impressive.

Yan Bei and Gongsun Zhan, the two people in the bureau, couldn't see clearly, but Yuan Shao and his staff were like watching the fire - Yanbei and Gongsun Chan had a bad relationship, and the rift in the early years was not mentioned for the time being, it boiled down to just Gongsun Zhan's stupid younger brother and Xuanwu Gongsun Du's plan to march into Liaodong County together.

It's just a plan, as Yuyang Tianyu stabbed Gongsun Du to death alone, the battle of Yan collapsed, and Gongsun Yue didn't even go out of Liaoxi County!

Yanbei was able to return to Liaodong without any action, and held back enough strength to fight against Liaoxi, and took advantage of the situation to expand his power to several counties in Youdong, not to mention, killing the Gongsun clan of Liaoxi and its guests.

If Yuan Shao saw anything in the death of Gongsun Zhan, it was that he knew from the beginning that when Yanbei led his army through the heavily defended Liaoxi County harmlessly from the bottom of his heart, he did not leave a way for the Gongsun clan to live.

The later arrangement, Yuan Shao also saw it clearly. Suddenly, he was promoted as a state pastor by the state people, but Yan Zhongqing was not ready to be a state pastor, and the entire Youxi was a blank for his power. If it weren't for the war between Bohai County and Gongsun Chan at that time, it would be the best time for Gongsun Chan to go north, but unfortunately it was dragged down by the war in Bohai, which gave Yanbei a chance to temporarily settle down Zhou County.

Next, Gongsun, who wanted to move Zhuojun to Jizhou, died under the butcher's knife of Yanbei...... The battle that follows is clearer.

But there's nothing to worry about now!

Although the news of Gongsun Zhan's death came back from the front, and although Gongsun Chan raised a large army to raid Bohai last year, and even the closest time it was only a hundred miles away from Nanpi City, it was all in the past. Gongsun Zhan, the most ferocious enemy in this land, died at the hands of Yanbei. And before his death, Gongsun Zhan gathered an army of 100,000 people, and how many men and horses could Yanbei, which was trapped in the narrow terrain of Youzhou, gather?

Even if you win, I'm afraid it's just a miserable victory, which is the best result for the Yuan family.

Guo Tu walked all the way to the west, and the counties and counties he passed through turned against each other and hung up the banner of the Yuan family, calculating the time, now Guo Tu should have traveled to Yecheng, as long as Han Fu was persuaded to hand over the Jizhou pastoral seal, integrate the Jizhou military and civilians, and only Youzhou...... Alone!

But on the contrary, whenever there is a happy eyebrow, there will always be evil people to stir up the situation!

"Lord, there is a team of elite horsemen outside the city gate, and the former general Yin Xin said that he is Yan Zhongqing's messenger!"

"Yanbei's messenger!" Yuan Shaoben sat on the couch and held a wine jug and slowly shook it with the music, thinking about the complicated relationship between Jizhou and the surrounding princes, when he suddenly heard the Yanbei envoy coming, he was really startled and almost lost his temper, and sat up straight after a while, and said slowly with a graceful face: "How many people are there in them, what are they doing here?" ”

The messenger of the message pursed his lips, what can the Yanbei envoy do when he comes from afar? Look at what you're asking, it doesn't look like you're here to pay tribute!

"Back to the lord, there are more than 20 people in the line, all of whom are fully equipped with armor and riding horses, and they have never brought gifts...... The subordinates thought that most of them were letters, should they let them into the city or drive them away? ”

Chase them away?

You can really think about it!

As early as the Dong period, Yuan Shao knew what Yan Zhongqing was, and the eldest of the heavens, his Yan clan wanted to compete with the earth for the role of the second! That's a master who has a lot of disdain for the famous family of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family...... Strange to say, clans sometimes have the name of protection, and sometimes they also blind people's eyes. Sometimes Yuan Shao would also wonder if he didn't have the background of the Yuan family, would those reckless people from the bottom be more acceptable to him.

What if you drive away the envoy of Yanbei today, and tomorrow the Hun people will come over with their own horse bandits?

Of course, this kind of non-breathing words can only be pretended in the heart and cannot be said to make his subordinates short of breath, Yuan Shao smiled contemptuously and said: "The Yan clan still knows the etiquette to send a messenger, how can I lose the etiquette, no matter when and listen to it first." ”

When the subordinate Wen Wu heard the words, he removed the singer and dancer and waited for the Yan envoy.

No matter how good the demeanor is, diplomacy is still a strong and weak thing after all, otherwise there is a three-inch tongue that is afraid and can't raise the courage, Yuan Shao's generals are obviously all people who know this truth, each sitting on a big horse golden knife, a strong temperament, there are guards outside the hall and said: "The former general, Youzhou Mu, Jihou Yan Zhongqing's envoy has arrived!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a not tall figure walked into the hall, and even in Youzhou and other places in the north of the world, the young man who was only six feet five inches long walked into the hall with a smile. Although he is short and mediocre in appearance, his bearing is really extraordinary - the beard under the chin, the hair is finely trimmed, the clothes are not luxurious, there is no ornament, and he is not even as good as a small official in Bohai. But such a person, under the forced gaze of Chun Yuqiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other brave people, actually walked forward leisurely, and even walked forward with a smiling face like a walk in his own backyard, and the Yuan generals present looked through it, and only then did he raise his head and arch his hand to Yuan Shao and smile.

"On the order of my lord's former general, Sun Zong, a native of Liaodong, will meet Yuan Gong." Sun Zong casually glanced left and right, and said again with a smile: "Congratulations to Gong Yuan." ”

Sun Zong is one of the outstanding protégés of Liaodong Academy, good at conversation, so he was selected by Yanbei as the candidate for the envoy Yuan Shao, which can be regarded as his experience.

Yuan Shao smiled and asked, "Will General Yan's envoy actually congratulate Yuan?" I thought he never knew what respect for the elders was...... Dare to ask the messenger, where does the joy come from? ”

"Sun doesn't know." Sun Zong replied very naturally, and spread his hands and said: "Duke Yuan doesn't have to worry about it, it is natural to have a happy event when the princes are still gathering to drink and feast at such a critical moment, so I said it casually." ”

"Bold fanatics, how dare you tease Yuan Gong!" As soon as Sun Zong's words fell, the next heroic general jumped out of the case, the ring knife on his waist was half out of the cold light, and the fierce god was not Yan Liang, who else could there be, "Could it be that my Bohai knife is not good?" ”

"Tut, it turns out that this is the sword of the Bohai Sea, and I lost my words in the next moment, and I hope that this general, don't be surprised." Yan Liang suddenly drew the knife and startled Sun Zong, and even his body flashed, and then he arched his hand and said this sentence with an apologetic look, and when Yan Liang reached his goal and returned the ring knife to the sheath, he slowly wondered: "Although the sword of the Bohai Sea is sharp, but do you know that Gongsun Bogui of Youzhou, does he also boast of martial arts like Your Excellency, and once said that the white horse is invincible in the world?" ”10
