Turning around and walking back to the first seat, Yuan Tan sat down, stretched out his hand to Xin Ping and made a gesture of please: "Zhongzhi, please sit wide, come carefully!" ”

After thanking Yuan Tan, Xin Ping returned to the position where he was sitting and knelt down.

When he sat down, he hugged his fists and said to Yuan Tan: "Since Yuan Gong died, the son of Xianfu has occupied Hebei, but the son has only won Liyang, Nanpi and other places. If you don't deal with it, sooner or later you will be harmed by the son of Xianfu! ”

Speaking of Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan's brows furrowed tightly.

He is well aware that the brothers fight for power, and in the end, the losing side will face the fate.

Frowning tightly, Yuan Tan didn't say anything, just stared at Xin Ping and didn't say anything.

Yuan Tan didn't say anything, and Xin Ping continued: "For Gongzi, Gongzi Xianfu and Cao Cao are both big troubles. It's just the lesser of two diseases. At present, Cao Cao's army is attacking Liyang, and Gongzi immediately sent a letter asking Gongzi Xianfu to send troops to rescue. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the son of Xianfu will definitely not refuse! ”

"Childe!" As soon as Xin Ping's words fell, a guard's voice came from outside the door of the front hall: "Feng Ji has been killed, can the son want to inspect the head?" ”

Knowing that Feng Ji's head had been cut off, Yuan Tan looked at Xin Ping and said hesitantly: "If you kill Feng Ji, if Xianfu has a grudge......

"It's inevitable to hold a grudge!" Looking at each other with Yuan Tan, Xin Ping said to him: "It's just that the Cao army is marching towards Hebei, and at the moment, whether it is a son or a son of Xianfu, the most important thing is to repel the Cao army and protect Hebei together." As for Cao Jun's retreat, Gongzi can do it again! ”

"How?" In Yuan Tan's heart, what he was always worried about was that Hebei fell into the hands of Yuan Shang, and as soon as Xin's comments fell, he couldn't wait to ask.

Staring at Yuan Tan, Xin Ping didn't speak, just stretched out his palm and made a chopping motion.

"Zhongzhi is ......" Seeing Xin Ping make this move, Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and said with a stunned face: "Do you have to kill Xianfu?" ”

"Childe, you must remember one sentence, your heart is not ruthless and the country is unstable!" Staring at Yuan Tan, Xin Ping said to him: "If the son of Xianfu gets the opportunity to kill the son, will he keep his hand?" If he remembered the brotherhood with his son, how could he take Hebei? ”

Stunned by Xin Ping's words, Yuan Tan's mouth opened slightly, and after a while, he said: "That is the case, a certain side of the book is revealed, and Cao Cao will be repelled!" ”

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Xin Ping stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to Yuan Tan and said, "Since the son has already made a decision, the subordinates will retire first!" ”

Xin Ping left the front hall, looking at his departing back, Yuan Tan's face showed a touch of loneliness.

Although Yuan Shang was in full swing with him for Hebei, he never thought of killing Yuan Shang.

Although the brotherhood is not as pure as when he was young, after all, blood is thicker than water, and if he wants to kill Yuan Shang, he is really a little unable to do it.

Cao Jun was still approaching Hebei, Liyang was in a hurry, and two or three days later, Yuan Shang, who was in Yecheng, received a letter from Yuan Tan asking for help.

Prior to this, Yuan Shang had already received the news that Feng Ji had been killed, and when he received Yuan Tan's letter, he immediately invited the trial to the back garden.

In the wing room in the back garden, Yuan Shang sat facing the door, and the judge sat opposite him.

"Judge the public!" Fiddling with the letter written by Yuan Tan in his hand, Yuan Shang asked the judge: "My brother killed Feng Gong, but at this time he borrowed troops from a certain person, how should a certain person deal with it?" ”

Sitting opposite Yuan Shang, the judge twisted the beard on his chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Cao Cao's troops arrived in Hebei, and it was difficult for the prince to support him alone, if the prince did not send troops, I am afraid that it would be difficult to protect Liyang, Nanpi and other places!" ”

"What does the judge mean ......" Gazing at the trial, Yuan Shang said with a hesitant face: "You want to send troops?" ”

"Fighting the tiger still has to be a brother!" The judge nodded, and said to Yuan Shang: "Yuan Gong handed over Hebei to Gongzi, how can Gongzi sit back and watch it fall into the hands of Cao thief?" Even if Yuantu has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely support Gongzi to send troops to rescue! ”

"I know!" After being silent for a moment, the doubts on Yuan Shang's face subsided a lot, and he said to the judge: "The words of the judge really woke me up." It's just that my eldest brother still has a covetous heart for Hebei, although there are many capable people under his command, but there are few people who are as trustworthy as the judge. This time, a certain army will be led forward, and the judge will defend Yecheng for a certain person, and he must not let others take advantage of the situation! ”

Yuan Tan proposed to judge and defend Yecheng, and the trial also knew that Hebei was not yet stable, and there were many people in Yecheng who were not loyal to Yuan Tan, and only one of the two of them could leave.

first sat up straight, then bowed to Yuan Tan with his fists in his fists, and said to him: "What Gongzi said is very true, and the subordinates wish Gongzi a victory!" ”

At the border of Hebei, the Yuan brothers temporarily formed an alliance to meet Cao Cao, but Liu Wei in Luoyang City was living an unusually leisurely life at this time.

The Qin army occupied Xudu, and the Cao army was unable to break through, and then Xia Cai, Shouchun and other places that had been lost earlier also donated cities to the Qin army.

Between the south bank of the Yellow River and the Huai River, it has been recovered by the Qin army, and Cao Cao's territory has been cut into pieces, and there is no longer the momentum of connecting them earlier.

The Central Plains is fighting for hegemony, just looking at the current situation, the Qin army has the upper hand.

"Your Highness, General Gao Ran asks to see you!" Lying on the leisurely chair in the Flower Pavilion, Liu Wei crossed Erlang's legs, enjoying the wind blowing from the Flower Pavilion and brushing his cheeks, when a guard's voice came into his ears.

Hearing the voice of the guard, he opened his eyes, and did not sit up, but lazily asked the guard, "What does he say he wants to see this king?" ”

"It seems that I want to say goodbye to His Highness!" The guard standing under the flower pavilion maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowed in response.

Gao Ran and Zhao Yun took Xu Huang to escort Xu Chu back to Luoyang for a few days.

In the past few days, Liu Wei has been hanging Xu Huang, and as for Xu Chu, he was directly put under house arrest, although he was not put in prison, he also ordered Qin Jun to be closely guarded and forbidden to leave his residence for a single step.

Gao Lan, who had made some meritorious achievements in fighting with Cao Jun, Liu Wei had seen it once, but it was only when Zhao Yun and others returned to Luoyang that he personally met with some meritorious soldiers.

On that day, he saw that Gao Ran had some entanglement on his face, as if he was very unstable in his heart.

From Gao Ran's expression, he could already see that although this person was in Luoyang, his mind was to stay in Hebei, and sooner or later he would ask him to resign.

In order to let Gao Ran live in Luoyang for a longer time, it is best to integrate into the Qin army, and for several days, he avoided Gao Ran.

But now Gao Ran has already asked for a meeting, and if he doesn't summon him again, it will be unreasonable.

Sitting up, Liu Wei frowned slightly, waved his hand at the guard and said, "Please General Gao come here to speak!" ”

"No!" The guard answered, taking two steps back, then turning to leave.

The flower pavilion was not very far from the front yard, and soon after the guard left, Gao Lan, who was waiting in the front yard, followed him and turned back.

Sitting on the leisurely chair, he saw Gao Ran coming from a distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth.

"General Gao!" When Gao Lan arrived at the flower pavilion, Liu Wei stood up, greeted him and said, "I don't know what General Gao is doing here?" ”

"Your Highness!" Standing under the flower pavilion, Gao Ran bowed with his fists in his fists, bowed deeply to Liu Wei and said, "I heard that Cao Cao led the army and invaded the north again!" Hebei lacks military generals, and the last general has come to resign to His Royal Highness! ”

"General Gao, please come up and speak!" Looking down at Gao Lan, who was standing under the flower pavilion, Liu Wei raised his hand at him and greeted him.

Standing up straight, Gao Ran responded with his fists in his hands, and then went to the flower pavilion.

When he arrived at the flower pavilion, he first bowed to Liu Wei again, and then bowed his hands to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen who were standing behind Liu Wei.

Wang Liu and Wang Zhen saw Gao Ran saluting them, and they all bowed back.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei did not sit back on the leisure chair, but walked to the edge of the flower pavilion, looked at the outside of the pavilion, frowned slightly, and said to Gao Ran: "The situation in Hebei is complicated, if General Gao goes back, will he cast it under the Xiansi account or under the Xianfu account?" ”

Although Liu Wei didn't say anything about the battle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Gao Ran immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The last general plans to join the command of Prince Xianyi." ”

Liu Wei originally planned to persuade Gao Ran not to participate in the sibling battle when he said that he would defect to Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang.

But Gao Ran just said that he wanted to serve Yuan Xi, which made Liu Wei a little embarrassed.

In the battle between the Yuan brothers, Yuan Xi did not directly participate in it, nor did he take a stand, but silently followed Liu Wei's instructions, secretly developing his forces, waiting for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to fight to the point of exhaustion, and then raise troops to save Hebei.

Gao Ran served him, and Liu Wei really didn't want to say anything.

Looking at the scenery outside the pavilion, Liu Wei did not speak for a long time.

Gao Lan, who was standing behind him with his fists clenched, saw that he was speechless, and his expression also revealed some worry.

Being in Luoyang, if Liu Bian really didn't allow him to leave, it would be impossible for Gao Ran to successfully get out of Luoyang City, at least in the case of Liu Bian's face, it would be impossible to leave successfully.

But if he turned his face with Liu Wei, with his martial arts, he would not be able to please in front of many generals of the Qin army.

Gao Ran's only way was to get Liu Bian's approval and allow him to go to Hebei.

"This king originally planned to wait until Xiansi and Xianfu stopped making trouble, and Cao Jun also posed a threat to Hebei, and then asked General Gao to lead the army to help!" After a long while, Liu Wei, who was silent, finally spoke: "But General Gao is eager to go to Hebei, if this king is to stop him, it seems that the purpose is not pure!" ”

"Come on!" Having said this, Liu Wei turned his head and said to the guards standing under the pavilion: "Go and prepare a good horse for General Gao, and then raise some Panchuan to send General Gao on his journey!" ”
