Outside the main gate of the Yecheng Mansion, there were two columns of Qin soldiers standing straight.

Each Qin soldier held a shield in his left hand and a Pu knife tightly in his right hand.

They were like two columns of statues lined up outside the main entrance, and even though they heard many people walking towards them, no one turned their heads to look at them.

Seeing this Qin army from afar, Yuan Xi already sighed in his heart.

He had seen too many armies, and he had led the army into battle, but he had never seen an army with such strict military discipline as the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin army, as long as the general asks for it, they must be completely obedient, and there will be no hesitation at all.

How could the King of Qin, who had such a large army, not have the ability to recover the Great Han?

It is not easy for the Yuan family to retain a trace of blood under the wings of King Qin, and this Hebei may only be handed over to King Qin.

sighed in his heart, but the look on Yuan Xi's face was indifferent.

Turning his head and glancing at him, he didn't see anything on his face, Wei Yan didn't say much, but when he arrived outside the main gate of the official mansion, he made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "Xianyi Gongzi please first!" ”

also made a gesture of invitation to Wei Yan, and Yuan Xi said, "General Wei, please!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the main gate of the government side by side.

Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Gao Lan and others followed closely behind them and walked into the Yecheng official mansion.

Entering the official mansion, everyone went straight to the front hall, and when they arrived at the front hall door, Wei Yan asked an officer guarding the door: "Is there anyone who can ask for the two sons of Xiansi and Xianfu?" ”

"Returning to the general, it's already invited!" Clenched his fists and bowed, the officer answered.

When he entered the front hall with Yuan Tan, Wei Yan said to him: "Xiansi Gongzi was originally in Liyang, and recently Gongzi is about to rush to Yecheng, and the last general is to ask people to go to Liyang to invite him over. Today, the sons and brothers can reunite in the Yecheng official mansion. ”

"The general has a heart!" Holding his fist and arching towards Wei Yan, Yuan Xi said: "His Royal Highness intends to take Hebei under him, but my father entrusted Hebei to Xianfu earlier, so ......"

"Although Yuan Gong has an entrustment, Hebei is the world of the Han Dynasty after all!" Before Yuan Xi finished speaking, Wei Yan's face suddenly turned cold and said, "Your Highness is about to return to the throne, could it be that what the emperor said is not as good as Yuan Gong?" ”

Wei Yan said a word, and Yuan Xi was stunned.

Although Hebei is the foundation of the Yuan family, it has always been the world of the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty entrusted Hebei to Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan dared to have the slightest dissent, which was undoubtedly disobeying the royal order.

If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang used Yuan Shao's life as a gimmick to compete with Yuan Xi for Hebei, the Yuan family would be charged with not being subordinate.

Such a serious crime, Hebei Yuan's family really can't afford it.

Being said by Wei Yan's heart, Yuan Xi hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "General Wei don't be suspicious, I only said this out of the heart of obeying my father." Since His Highness has an order, he should obey it! ”

Obviously very satisfied with Yuan Xi's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wei Yan's mouth, and he said to him: "Childe is also not too careful, the last general just said that." His Royal Highness also has a saying, if the general will tell the son, once Hebei is stabilized, the son and his wife can be reunited! ”

It has been a long time since she was separated from Zhen Mi, and she was also very worried about her in her heart, and suddenly heard Wei Yan mention Zhen Mi, and Yuan Xi hurriedly asked.

"Childe, just rest assured, Mrs. Zhen lives in the palace, and the guards are very strict, and no one can do anything to her." Staring at Yuan Xi, Wei Yan said: "When the lady and the son are reunited, there will be Qin army protection along the way, and there will definitely be no mistakes!" ”

Wei Yan didn't directly say how Zhen Mi was in Luoyang, but after listening to his words, Yuan Xi was a lot more relieved.

Yuan Xi didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with Liu Wei, but he could see that this King of Qin's dedication to the country was far higher than his greed for beauty.

Otherwise, as the King of Qin, he would definitely not have only five princesses, at least there would be dozens of beautiful women beside him.

Although Zhen Misheng is beautiful, she is Yuan Xi's wife after all.

's dedication to the country and power makes her meaningful to Liu Wei extraordinary.

Liu argued that it was impossible to turn against Yuan Xi for the sake of a woman.

Although it is easy to kill Yuan Xi, if the matter spreads, it will have a great negative impact on him, the emperor who is about to return to the throne.

felt much calmer in his heart, and Yuan Xi didn't ask about Zhen Mi anymore.

At this moment, a voice from Qin Jun came from outside the door of the front hall: "General Qiyu, the two sons of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have arrived!" ”

Wei Yan turned his head and said to the outside of the hall: "Please let the two sons come in and see each other!" ”

When he gave instructions to the outside of the hall, he did not get up and go to the door to greet him, but sat upright in the first seat of the hall.

After getting Wei Yan's order, the officer of the Qin army who led Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to the door of the front hall made a gesture of invitation to the two of them and said, "Two sons, the general is invited!" ”

The Qin army stationed in Liyang and Yecheng was not very polite to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Wei Yan did not go out to greet him, and it was not surprising to the two.

Arching his fist at the officer standing at the door of the antechamber, the two walked to the door and strode into the hall.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the threshold, when they saw Yuan Xi who had already stood up in the hall, the two brothers were stunned.

They had already received news that the King of Qin intended to entrust Hebei to Yuan Xi.

These days, the two of them still have some expectations in their hearts, hoping that this news is just groundless.

But now that they saw Yuan Xi standing in the front hall, the two of them immediately understood the reason in their hearts, and their faces inadvertently showed a touch of loss.

Seeing the loss on the faces of the two brothers, Wei Yan didn't say anything, just smiled and gestured to them and said: "The prince of Xianyi is here today, the three sons are afraid that they have not been reunited for some days, and at the end of today, a banquet will be set up here, and the three good students will get together!" ”

Knowing in their hearts that Wei Yan invited them to come, it must be to inform them that the King of Qin was going to entrust Hebei to Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had a loss on their faces that could not be concealed, but they didn't say anything, just clasped their hands into fists, bowed to Wei Yan, and then stepped into the hall.

"Someone, tell me to go down and prepare a banquet!" When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were seated, Wei Yan gave an order outside the hall.

The officer who led the two of them here got Wei Yan's order, answered, and turned around and ordered the gang to prepare a banquet.

Looking around at the Yuan brothers sitting in the hall, Wei Yan said to them: "The three sons, since the first battle in Liyang, I'm afraid they haven't seen each other again!" ”

"Exactly!" Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were silent, and Yuan Xi said to Wei Yan: "In the first battle of Liyang, I led the army to leave first, and went all the way to Youzhou, intending to recruit soldiers and horses to return to Jizhou, and then fight Cao Cao, but I didn't want my brother and third brother to be defeated so quickly!" ”

"Second brother!" As soon as Yuan Xi's words fell, Yuan Shang smiled coldly and said: "The second brother led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to leave that day, but he told the foolish brother that he was going to Liyang to cooperate with the eldest brother's defense, so how did he go to Youzhou?" ”

Leaving the battlefield that day, Yuan Xi found a reason to lead the army to Liyang, beware of Cao's army suddenly changing the route of the march.

Hearing Yuan Shang's question, Yuan Xi also felt a little guilty in his heart, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Although my brothers were defeated that day, they still dared to fight with Cao's army!" Yuan Shang pointed the finger at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan also smiled coldly and said: "If the second brother did not go to Youzhou, but led the army to help defend Liyang, Cao Jun would not have fought so hard for his brother." When the second brother comes back this time, he will still mention the battle of the day, which is really surprising for the brother! ”

Besieged by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang verbally, Yuan Xi lowered his head and did not speak.

For his two brothers, Yuan Xi couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had.

In order to compete for the inheritance of Hebei, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang intrigued all day long, and they also raised some wise people under their commands, and the two even almost met each other.

Seeing the behavior of the two of them that day, Yuan Xi felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

But now in retrospect, when Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought in the first battle of Liyang, they both led the army to fight with Cao's army, but he led 2,000 soldiers and horses to evacuate the battlefield and left them to Cao Cao.

This approach is indeed somewhat unreasonable.

With guilt in his heart, Yuan Xi lowered his head and did not say a word.

Seeing that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were aggressive, but Yuan Xi was silent with his head bowed, Wei Yan said to the two with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The two sons think that they are wrong to blame the young men!" ”

Wei Yan opened his mouth to say this, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang both turned their heads to look at him, almost at the same time, a trace of suspicion appeared on their faces, and Yuan Shang even opened his mouth to ask, "Why did General Wei say this?" ”

"When Prince Xianyi withdrew from the battlefield, it was His Highness's intention." Looking at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Wei Yan did not shy away from saying: "His Royal Highness expected that the two princes were not Cao Cao's opponents, so he secretly issued an order to show that the prince of Xianyi would go to Youzhou to prepare troops and horses for a decisive battle with Cao's army in the coming days. What His Royal Highness didn't expect was that the two sons would be defeated so quickly, and the soldiers and horses in Youzhou had not yet been prepared, and tens of thousands of troops had already been broken by the Cao army! ”

didn't say a word to save face for the two of them, and what Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang said was red-faced, and they both lowered their heads and didn't say anything.

was defeated that day, although it was because Cao Jun left a baggage, which induced the soldiers of the Yuan army to rob, and then suddenly killed.

can be traced to the bottom of the matter, but it is still the two of them who are not strict in governing the army, so this phenomenon will occur.

King Qin is not optimistic about them because of this, and it is just that they are not angry.

"Two sons!" Standing up, Wei Yan walked to the middle of the front hall, facing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang and said, "The last general came this time, and His Highness also explained one thing!" ”

Having said this, the Yuan brothers all knew that Wei Yan was going to tell King Qin's intentions, and they all fixed their eyes on his face.

"His Royal Highness intends to ask Prince Xianyi to take charge of Hebei, and the two sons will assist him, I don't know what the two of them think?" Looking around at the Yuan brothers, Wei Yan finally picked out the words clearly.
