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

Chapter 257 Stay in Xuzhou temporarily, the dust settles!
"General Yuan Tan conquered the country, and Tzuyu received the general's great favor. The general should have agreed to the general's request. However, my brother is young and should not stay away. If the general promises, within three years, when the younger brother grows up, he will come to the general." How is the account effect?"

After a brief greeting and pleasantries, Yuan Tan did not delay too long, and went straight to the point, expressing his willingness to invite Zhuge Jin to stay in Xuzhou.

But regarding Yuan Tan's request, Zhuge Jin was a little embarrassed.

He came to see Yuan Tan on a whim.

But after actually coming to Xuzhou, Zhuge Jin was actually a little surprised.

After all, although Yuan Tan's current reputation is indeed as Zhuge Jin said, he is awe-inspiring all over the world.

When mentioning Yuan Tan's name, don't say Cao Ying... Oh, it should be called Wei Guo now.

Even the forces in Jiangdong and Jingzhou who had never confronted Yuan Tan face to face were fearful.

Yuan Tan's record is there, no matter whether it is mixed with water or not, at the very least, Wei Guo was indeed born because of Yuan Tan.

The rising momentum that had been advancing all the way was interrupted in place, but it was obvious to all the world.

Ask yourself, in a situation where you are in a different position, no matter if it is Liu Biao who has the great cause of riding alone to fix Jingxiang.

Sun Ce, who still has Qianqi Ping Jiangdong, thinks he can't compare with him.

The more this is the case, the more fearful the princes of the world are about Yuan Tan, and some corresponding rumors have spread.

It's nothing more than words like Yuan Tan's bloodthirsty nature.

Although Zhuge Jin had never actually seen Yuan Tan's performance on the battlefield, he secretly speculated that the so-called general's success can lead to thousands of bones drying up.

Yuan Tan was able to establish such a record in just three to five years. It is self-evident how many bones were buried under his feet.

So when he heard that Yuan Tan had expelled Cao Cao, Zhuge Jin's first reaction was not to feel lucky, but to worry about his hometown.

Once again, it was devastated by military disaster.

Although Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou once, it was because of the existence of Xuzhou scholars that made Cao Cao feel uneasy.

After the slaughter, Cao Cao felt at ease, and he would not attack Xuzhou again. Instead, he needed to slowly guide the people of Xuzhou to recover and recuperate.

But being born in heaven seems to be deliberately trying to torment Xuzhou.

One Cao Cao was driven away, and another Yuan Tan came over. In Zhuge Jin's perception, neither of them could be regarded as good enemies.

He belongs to the level of a hero in troubled times.

Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Zhuge Jin decided to go to Xuzhou.

If Yuan Tan is really as cruel as the rumors say, then he will try his best to persuade Yuan Tan one or two times.

But after actually coming to Xuzhou, Zhuge Jin was surprised by the peaceful and peaceful scene in Xuzhou.

Especially after seeing that the honed Xuzhou army camped in Xuzhou city, but nothing disturbed the people.

Zhuge Jin's perception of Yuan Tan suddenly rose from the original evaluation of a hero and a titan to that of an ancient famous general.

But... the so-called knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, compared with Yuan Tan.

In fact, Zhuge Jin is still more inclined to the princes in Kuaiji area where he lives sojourn now, Sun Ce's side.

If he became an official with Sun Ce, he, an official under Sun Ce's account, would be able to take care of him to some extent.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin also had several friends, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Hongzhi and Lu Su, who all spoke very well of Sun Ce.

Compared with Yuan Tan who is not familiar with here, it is not difficult to understand that Zhuge Jin tends to Jiangdong.

Seeing Zhuge Jin with a troubled expression on his face, Yuan Tan couldn't help chuckling, and said lightly:
"Mr. Zhuge Ziyu, don't you think that I, Yuan Tan, are not as good as Jiangdong?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, although Yuan Tan had a smile on his face, Zhuge Jin didn't dare to be slighted, and even broke into a cold sweat.

Hastily bowed and said:

"I also ask General Yuan to understand that the family affairs are really heavy and it is difficult to let go."

Seeing Zhuge Jin behave like this, Yuan Tan pondered for a while, and was also a little tangled.

In all fairness, such a great talent is right in front of him, and now he is planning to run Xuzhou as an outpost.

Not only can Xuzhou serve as a bridgehead in the subsequent war against Wei.

After the demise of Cao Ying, Xuzhou was used as a springboard, regardless of whether it was going south to attack Jiangdong.

Or Dongjin to manage the Central Plains area, which is an excellent location.

In this process, it is definitely not enough to rely on Yuan Tan alone, but there is no shortage of military generals under his tent today, but civil servants.

Chen Deng is not so much a civil servant as a Confucian general. As for Xun Yu, he is more good at giving advice on marching and formation.

The strengths in internal affairs still lie in ensuring the logistics operation during the war, similar to Zhuge Liang's position in the early period of the Three Kingdoms.

In other words, Xun Yu is only suitable to be a large-scale logistics officer, and occasionally he can do diplomatic work part-time.

For example, communicating with the Hebei side, asking for military food and military pay, etc., can be handed over to Xun Yu, and can be done beautifully.

But to really manage a state, although Chen Deng and Xun Yu are not useless.

But compared to Zhuge Jin, the real important minister of internal affairs, the two are still somewhat lacking.

It's just that if Zhuge Jin is forced to stay, Yuan Tan also feels a little uncomfortable. Although the twisted melon is not sweet, it is not impossible to eat it.

But there are melons, no one wants to eat tasteless melons, right?
So after thinking for a while, Yuan Tan raised his head, glanced at Zhuge Jin, and said:

"It's better like this. Right now, I'm in Hebei, and I'm preparing for my father's appointment as a public official. There are many complicated matters. Why don't you stay with me for a month, and after these things are settled, we will come to discuss the matter of whether you will stay or leave, and you can also borrow this Opportunity, take a good look at the situation in Xuzhou. I don’t know, sir, what do you think?”

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Zhuge Jin was relieved.

He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Yuan Tan would really force him to stay here.

This kind of thing is not without precedent. Isn't his good friend Zhang Hong living in Xuchang now?
Now that Yuan Tan is willing to let go, it is a good thing, and he himself is just like what Yuan Tan said.

I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, so it's not bad to take this opportunity to take a look around.

Immediately, Zhuge Jin readily agreed, but Yuan Tan, after sending Zhuge Jin away, thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a rest.

Chen Zhen and Chen Xiaoqi came to Xuzhou again.

It's just that this time, compared to the previous two times, Chen Zhen was more energetic and beaming.

As soon as he saw Yuan Tan, he paid homage and said in a deep voice:

"I also invite the young general to summon all the officials to come to Xuzhou. There is an edict issued in Yecheng, and all generals must be gathered to receive the edict."

After hearing what Chen Zhen said, Yuan Tan immediately reacted.

It seems that after several rounds of debate, the matter of making my father a public servant has finally been settled.
