Yuan Xi and Gao Ran came to the gate of Yecheng City under the escort of a group of soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were still wearing Yuan Jun's armor.

However, when they saw Yuan Xi, these soldiers were not as humble as before, and the officer who led the soldiers to guard the city gate stepped forward, raised his arm to block Yuan Xi, and asked him: "Second son, please wait here, and present it to General Wei here!" ”

The officer's attitude made Yuan Xi frown slightly.

Although the Yuan army in Yecheng obeyed Yuan Shang's orders, no low-level officer dared to speak to him like this in the past.

The situation in the city was still very unclear, and Yuan Xi didn't want to take it lightly, so he had to nod his head at the officer.

Seeing Yuan Xi nodding, the officer instructed the soldiers guarding the city gate: "You wait for a good student to guard the city gate, and go to report to General Wei!" ”

"No!" A group of soldiers at the city gate responded, one by one, holding their heads high, without any intention of giving way to Yuan Xi, and the officers turned around and ran towards the city.

Standing outside the gate of Yecheng, looking at the back of the officer leaving, Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Yecheng was his home at the beginning.

But now, when he returned to the door, he couldn't even enter the door.

Sentimental in his heart, he turned his head to look at Gao Ran.

I saw Gao Ran frowning slightly, and his face was already showing a trace of resentment.

Fortunately, Gao Ran is not the kind of person who has a short temper and likes to make trouble, otherwise just with the attitude of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, the general would have gone crazy on the spot.

Holding back the resentment in his heart, Gao Ran held the reins, frowned slightly, and stared at the officers who ran farther and farther away, until the officer's back disappeared from view, and then he turned his gaze to the more than ten soldiers wearing Yuan Jun's armor at the city gate.

These more than ten soldiers, although they were wearing Yuan Jun's armor, held their heads high one by one, and their standing posture was very upright.

Judging from the appearance and bearing of the army, they are very different from the previous Yuan army.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ran also turned his head and glanced at Yuan Xi.

The two looked at each other, and a conjecture emerged in each other's hearts, that is, the Yuan army in the city had been absorbed by the Qin army and received training from the Qin army, otherwise in such a short period of time, it would be absolutely impossible for the army to be rectified to this point.

Standing outside the city gate, Yuan Xi waited for a stick of incense before he saw a team of men and horses walking along the street towards them from a distance through the city gate hole.

At the head of that team were three Qin army generals.

These three generals of the Qin army, Yuan Xi also recognized them.

The two older ones on both sides are Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, and the youngest in the middle, who is still less than a weak crown, is Wei Yan, who has recently risen in recent years but has repeatedly established miraculous achievements.

Seeing Wei Yan and the others coming from the city, Yuan Xi turned over and jumped off the war horse, standing on the side of the war horse, waiting for them.

Knowing that Yuan Xi had come to Yecheng, Wei Yan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, led a team of soldiers, and came to meet him outside the city.

Before he arrived at the gate of the city, Wei Yan saw Yuan Xi turn over and get off the horse, and hurriedly clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, urging the war horse to go faster.

Out of the city gate cave, as soon as Yuan Xi approached, Wei Yan jumped off his war horse and strode towards him.

"Son Xianyi!" Holding his fists and arching towards Yuan Xi, Wei Yan said to Yuan Xi with a smile on his face: "When the prince came to Yecheng, no one came to inform him, and the last general would go out of the city to greet him." ”

"General Wen Chang guards Yecheng and works all day long, how dare he bother below!" Hurriedly hugged his fist and gave Wei Yan a salute back, Yuan Xi also said with a smile: "The tired general personally went out of the city to greet him, and he was already panicked below, if the general really greeted him from afar, wouldn't he be tormented!" ”

"Xian Yi Gongzi is serious!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Wei Yan threw his body to the side, made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Xi and said, "Childe, please come into the city and speak!" ”

hugged his fist towards Wei Yan again, and then arched his fist to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, who had followed Wei Yan to the city gate and had already turned over and dismounted from the war horse, Yuan Xicai made a gesture of invitation to Wei Yan and said, "General Wenchang, please!" ”

Entering Yecheng side by side with Yuan Xi, Wei Yan did not get on the horse, but walked along the street towards the Yecheng official mansion.

Entering Yecheng, Wei Yan and the others did not stay in Yuan's house.

Nuoda's Yuan Mansion, and now the servants and guards are only Yuan Shang.

did not live in the Yuan family's mansion, but also Wei Yan had the consideration of respecting the Yuan family.

In any case, the Yuan family did not have too many faults in the days when the Han Dynasty fell apart.

Although Yuan Shao's desire for power in the later period was also jealous and inflated, because Liu Bian's power was stronger, he always regarded Liu Bian as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and for Daqin, Yuan Shao was also a loyal minister.

If he lives in the Yuan family's mansion again, it will leave more truth for those heroes who oppose Liu.

Wei Yan walked, and Yuan Xi did not get on the horse, walking side by side with him.

While walking, Yuan Xi looked at the shops and houses on both sides of the road, and said to Wei Yan: "General Wenchang is really a capable minister who governs the world, Cao Jun entered Hebei, Yecheng was already a lot depressed earlier, but now it has a little more vitality. ”

The people of Yecheng are different from the people of Luoyang.

Under the rule of Liu Wei, the people of Luoyang were not afraid of the Qin army, and whenever a large army was opened, the people would always gather on both sides of the street to say goodbye.

The Qin army was triumphant, and the people of Luoyang would go out to greet each other.

Even if Liu Wei travels, there is no need to make a special trip to open the road, and the people in the market only need to give way on both sides of the road.

Yecheng, which had been under Yuan's rule for a long time, was accustomed to hiding in houses when officials or troops traveled.

Although Wei Yan once ordered the whole city, and the people did not need to avoid it, the people in the city already had the habit of avoiding it, and they could not change it for a while.

Walking in the market, looking at the shops and houses on both sides, Wei Yan took Yuan Xi's words and said: "Your Highness once said that what the people want is very simple, nothing more than food, clothing, housing, transportation, and having children. The last general did not dare to forget His Royal Highness's words for a moment, and when he came to Yecheng, he would immediately exempt the city from paying taxes, as for what should happen to this Hebei in the future, it only depends on the son of Xianyi! ”

On the way here, Yuan Xi had already expected that he would rush to Yecheng to take over Hebei.

He was not surprised by what Wei Yan said, but said very humbly: "The general is a talent for governing the world, how can he dare to take over power from the general?" ”

"Hebei was originally Yuan's, but it's even more Han's!" Grinning at Yuan Xi, Wei Yan said to him: "Don't hide it from the prince, Your Highness will ascend the throne and become the emperor in a few days." His Royal Highness once said that this Hebei will still be handed over to the people of the Yuan family after all! ”

If it wasn't Yuan Xi who was talking to Wei Yan, but Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, he would definitely be overjoyed in his heart when he heard these words.

But Yuan Xi knew very well that what Wei Yan said about ruling Hebei was just entrusting him with some administrative power, and as for the military power, I am afraid that there would be no at all.

The corners of his mouth pulled up a slight smile, Yuan Xi turned his head to look at Wei Yan and said: "Your Highness relies so heavily on your subordinates, you must do your best to share your worries for Your Highness!" ”

Nodding at Yuan Xi, Wei Yan said to him: "The last general has already asked people to go to invite the two sons, Xiansi and Xianfu, the sons and brothers, since the death of Yuan Gong, I don't think we have ever gotten together. Before the last general set out for the expedition, His Royal Highness had specially entrusted the last general to be born as a son-in-law brother to mediate from it......"

"Your Highness is really well-intentioned!" Smiling slightly, Yuan Xi said to Wei Yan: "On the day my father died, my brother and my third brother competed for the power of Hebei, which made each other unhappy, and they almost used swords to each other. If it weren't for Cao Cao's army to enter Hebei, I think it would have been a fight. Now His Highness wants the general to mediate, which is very good. ”

As they spoke, the two of them were already escorted by a group of soldiers, walking through two or three streets.

Gao Lan, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici, who were following behind them, did not speak to each other, but nodded to each other when they met.

straightened up and followed behind Wei Yan and Yuan Xi.

Hearing that Wei Yan said that he wanted to hand over Hebei to Yuan Xi, Gao Ran interjected and asked: "General Wei, this Hebei will be handed over to the second son, dare to ask how many soldiers and horses the second prince will have under his command at that time?" ”

"Twenty thousand black soldiers!" Glancing back at Gao Lan, Wei Yan said unhurriedly: "Prince Xianyi doesn't need to lead the army to fight, and the soldiers and horses under his command are just guarding the cities and controlling the people in the city." ”

"In this way, Hebei's military power is in the hands of others?" He had lived in Luoyang for some time, and he also knew a lot about the Wuyi Army in the Qin army, Gao Ran frowned slightly, and asked again.

The Qin army is strong, but it is only for the main force and the three guards.

The palace guards are not in the establishment of the Qin army, and although the Wuyi army is in the establishment, the equipment and training are much worse than the main force.

The 20,000 Wuyi army, in terms of combat power, is not as good as the main force of the 5,000 Qin army.

Although the number of people is large, they are simply unable to deal with foreign invasions, and with such an army in their hands, it is simply incapable of controlling Hebei.

"The soldiers and horses of the world are all under the personal control of His Highness!" Hearing the dissatisfaction in Gao Ran's tone, Wei Yan frowned slightly, and asked him rhetorically: "Could it be that General Fei is dissatisfied?" ”

Wei Yan said that all the soldiers and horses in the world were under the control of Liu Wei, Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to say more.

The news that Liu Wei is about to be enthroned again by Chan has already spread far and wide, and if you don't know the news today, I'm afraid there are not many people.

When Gao Ran was in Luoyang, he already knew that Liu Xie was going to talk about the emperor's throne and give it to Liu Wei.

The future emperor of the Han Dynasty will rule the world's soldiers and horses, and he is a Hebei general, so he really doesn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that Gao Ran didn't say anything more, Wei Yan's face looked a little better, and then said to Yuan Xi: "Later, in the banquet, the last general will convey His Royal Highness's edict to the two sons of Xiansi and Xianfu, and the princes only need to take over Hebei!" ”
