Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 105 The Aggrieved Yuan Shao (Please Subscribe)
"My lord, the eldest son has arrived."

The examiner bowed slightly, and said to Yuan Shao who was reading the letter.

Yuan Shao put down the letter and said coldly, "Let him in!"

The judge agreed, turned around and walked out.

After a while, Yuan Tan came in from the outside.He turned his eyes and saw an envelope in Yuan Shao's hand, and couldn't help but think to himself: "Okay, there's going to be a war again."

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and asked casually: "Father, why did you call your son here?"

Looking at Yuan Tan's foolish appearance, Yuan Shao was furious.His face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "I asked you to print a newspaper, why are you exposing me?"

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Father, don't be in a hurry, just listen to me slowly."

He had expected that the other party would ask this question a long time ago, so he prepared the answer in advance.

"Father, when we edit the content of the newspaper, we must uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and strive to be objective."

"But you...you can't mess around with Lao Tzu's old accounts!"

"Father commander calm down, my purpose of doing this is also to make the people believe the content in the newspaper."

"Nonsense!" Yuan Shao's face became even more ugly, and he asked coldly: "Even if they believe the matter between me and Cao thief, so what?"

Yuan Tan continued to smile, and said flatly: "When the people are convinced of the content in the newspaper, every piece of content we edit will become an important force in influencing public opinion."

"Well..." Yuan Shao stroked his goatee and muttered to himself, "There's some truth to that..."

Seeing that Yuan Shao was persuaded, Yuan Tan heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

As he spoke, he quickly turned around and was about to leave the office when Yuan Shao called out: "Wait a minute!"

Yuan Tan stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"The Xiliang army attacked the Hedong area, and Gao Gan was defeated in consecutive battles. The situation is extremely dangerous."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan and said in a deep voice, "I want you to lead the army to Hedong and repel the Xiliang bandits as soon as possible."

I rely on, it really is going to war.

Yuan Tan's brain turned rapidly, and he said casually: "In Yi'er's humble opinion, the Xiliang Army is brave and good at fighting, and General Zhang Yun can't take on this important task!"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Zhang Yun has gone to reinforce Youzhou. Apart from you, Yanzhou has no generals to send."

"Reporting to my father, my son shoulders the responsibility of farming and cannot leave his post without permission."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't go, I will no longer provide supplies to the emperor!"

Yuan Tan was startled, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I should take the emperor to Qingzhou, right?"

Qingzhou is his base camp, if he can go here, at least he doesn't have to worry about the safety of the emperor.

"It's a good idea!" Yuan Shao said angrily, "I'm in charge of this matter, you have to go if you want to, and you have to go if you don't want to!"

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Tan nodded and said, "If you want me to go, the commander-in-chief must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

"After repelling the Xiliang army, the father commander can no longer interfere with the son's farming."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then said: "Well, let's make a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

After leaving the office, Yuan Tan ordered Gao Lan to lead the cavalry to guard the emperor, replace Zhao Yun, and then let Jiang Qi lead the troops to garrison the fields and continue to replenish the rations.

After tidying up, he ordered Zhang Xiu to lead [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and he and Zhao Yun commanded the Chinese army to march towards the Hedong area in a mighty manner.

Yanzhou is not far from Hedong, and Yuan Tan's troops are all cavalry, so the marching speed is extremely fast.It took only two days for the army to reach the destination.

Yuan Tan sent dozens of scouts to scout for traces of the Xiliang Army.Half an hour later, a scout came to report, only saying that there was a Xiliang military camp thirty miles north of the city.

After Yuan Tan heard this, he ordered the generals to stop marching and set up camp on the spot.

"My lord, why don't we go into the city?"

Zhao Yun asked in a daze.

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "The inside of the city is more dangerous than the outside, so of course we can't enter the city!"

Zhao Yun let out an "ah" and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Yuan Tan continued to smile, and said in a low voice, "Gao Gan has always been at odds with me, if he sees us entering the city, he will definitely try to harm others."

Zhao Yun was taken aback, and asked casually, "Then what shall we do?"

Yuan Tan patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will still defeat the enemy if we don't enter the city!"

The cavalry under his command are extremely powerful, even in field battles outside the city, they are not weaker than the Xiliang army.

What's more, the main supply target of the Xiliang Army is high-ranking officials, and it has nothing to do with him.Therefore, he is in no rush to march in.

At the moment, all the troops made fire and cooked food, and set up camp on the spot.When camping, Yuan Tan ordered Zhang Xiu to be on the left, Zhao Yun to be on the right, and himself to be in the middle.

In this way, even if the Xiliang army attacked at night, they would not be able to break into the camp of the Chinese army.

……

In the city, in the hall.

Sitting on a chair, Gao Gan asked a spy, "So the reinforcements have already arrived outside the city?"

The spy nodded and said: "Report to the general, the reinforcements are camping fifty miles outside the city."

"Who is the commander in chief?"

"It should be... the eldest son Yuan Tan."

"It's him?" Gao Gan's face changed slightly, and he asked again: "How many people did he bring?"

The spies bowed and replied, "According to the villain's observation, there are about [-] reinforcements."

After pondering for a moment, Gao Gan waved his hand and said, "I see, you can go down."

After the spies left, he turned his head, his eyes fell on Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, and said in a deep voice, "You two generals, I have something to ask."

The two generals said in unison: "General, it's okay to say!"

Gao Gan leaned in front of the two of them and whispered something in a low voice.After hearing this, the two generals couldn't help but look at each other, with horrified expressions on their faces.

Zhang Nan hesitated for a while, then asked: "If...if Mr. Yuan knows about this, I'm afraid..."

Before the words were finished, Gao Gan cut off and said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. After I succeed, I will send someone to take care of you."

The two generals looked at each other, still hesitating.

Seeing this situation, Gao Gan's face became more and more ugly, and he asked coldly: "The two generals still refuse to agree. Could it be that they don't trust someone Gao?"

When the two generals heard this, their expressions changed drastically.Jiao Touch coughed and said hastily, "Where did the general say that? I have been following the general for a long time, how could I run away?"

Zhang Nan followed up and said, "General, please rest assured, the two of us will definitely live up to our fate!"

Gao Gan was overjoyed, and said in a deep voice: "The two generals Gao Yi, Mr. Gao will never forget. After this is done, Mr. Gao will definitely thank you!"

As he spoke, he bowed to the ground.

The two generals did not dare to neglect, and hastily bowed to return the salute.After the ceremony, Jiao Touch's eyes flickered and he gave Zhang Nan a wink.

Zhang Nan understood, respectfully said: "This matter is no small matter, let the two of us make preparations early."

"It makes sense, two generals, let's go now."

"The last will obey!"

The two agreed in unison and quickly left the hall.
