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

Chapter 75 Merits and demerits equalize, the army hides and kills!

The young general was Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephew, and he had a pretty good relationship with Yuan Tan.

This time, when the war with Cao Cao started, the high-ranking officers who had been sitting in the rear all year round were also transferred here. When Yuan Tan came back, he immediately went to remind him.

Yuan Tan smiled slightly, not caring.

If he loses, he will be in trouble even if no one is talking to Daddy Cheap.

But since he won, the hard-fought results are there, no matter who says anything on the old man's side.

Yuan Tan wouldn't even take it to heart.

Stepping into the camp, Yuan Tan immediately felt the solemn atmosphere.

However, his expression did not waver at all, he smiled slightly, cupped his fists at Yuan Shao on the camp and said,
"Father, fortunately, the boy did not disgrace his life. The night attack was successful. Cao Jun's [-]th battalion was destroyed. Our army can advance at any time and defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shao's eyes moved slightly, looking at Yuan Tan, no matter how satisfied he looked.

But when he thought of the words Guo Tufengji whispered in his ear before, Yuan Shao's face darkened again.

When Guo Tu Fengji saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, Guo Tu stepped out of the line, bowed and said,
"Duke Ming, it is a good thing for the eldest son to return after a big victory, but the eldest son has repeatedly disrespected military orders and acted recklessly. If he is not punished, it will be difficult to convince the army..."

"Disrespecting military orders? Where did I disrespect military orders?"

Before Guo Tu could finish speaking, Yuan Tan put a hat on Yuan Tan first.

Yuan Tan spoke immediately, interrupted Guo Tu's words roughly, and said coldly,

"I am the commander of the cavalry. It is my duty to go out to patrol the city at night. Do I need to ask for instructions?"

Yuan Tan interrupted the manuscript that Guo Tu had prepared, and his expression changed. Feng Ji quickly jumped out to help,

"My lord, you also said that patrolling the city at night is your duty, but you didn't say that you are qualified to directly attack Cao Ying!"

"Ha, how ridiculous!"

After hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Tan sneered as if hearing some funny joke, and said lightly,

"I attacked Cao Ying only because I saw loopholes in Cao Jun's defense when I was patrolling the city. Mr. Feng Ji, in order to join the army, will never miss an opportunity and never come back again, right?"

"You...you are making too much sense!"

Feng Ji was overwhelmed by Yuan Tan's words, and was at a loss for words for a while, so he could only force his neck to hold out a sentence.

"Aren't you talking too much, the results of the battle are here!"

Yuan Tan's voice suddenly rose a few minutes, and he took a step forward. His majestic figure came in front of Feng Ji, condescending, looking down on the two of them.

"I broke Cao Ying, which is the biggest evidence!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Tan ignored Fengji Guotu, looked directly at Yuan Shao above, bowed slightly,
"I also ask the father to be the master and give the child justice!"

"Duke Ming, this wind can't last long!"

"Duke Ming, the Eldest Young Master violates military orders one after another like this. It's fine if he wins. If there is a mistake, the Eldest Young Master is afraid that the Eldest Young Master will suffer a loss and cause damage to Ming Duke's reputation!"

When Feng Ji and Guo Tu saw this, they were impatient, and hurriedly fell to the ground and said to Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu, in particular, was quick-witted, and even took advantage of Yuan Shao's love for his son.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting upright, couldn't help being a little at a loss by the scene in front of him.

In all fairness, what Guo Tufengji said made sense.

But Yuan Tan's battle results are also real.

Besides, Yuan Tan's reasons, although somewhat far-fetched, are not completely unreasonable.

What if he really found some fighter and didn't want to give up, so he took the initiative to attack?

Strictly speaking, Yuan Shao's inner balance actually leaned towards Yuan Tan from the very beginning.

Yuan Tan being his parent-child is only one factor, and more, in fact, it is what Yuan Tan said, he really defeated Cao Jun.

Yuan Shao gathered an army of 40 in Liyang, and the food and grass consumed every day was an astronomical figure.

Frankly speaking, Yuan Tan broke Cao Jun's company battalion this time. Such a great achievement, not to mention sending troops without orders, is a death penalty according to the law.

can be offset.

offset?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at the three people below and said with a smile,
"Mr. Guo Tu and Mr. Feng Ji, what you said is reasonable. Tan'er, don't be too rude to the two gentlemen. Although you have made great achievements this time, you have indeed violated the military order."

Seeing Yuan Shao's calm tone, Yuan Tan knew that although he couldn't guess Yuan Shao's specific thoughts, he had passed this test.

Immediately bowed and said,

"I know. After waiting, I will apologize to the two gentlemen. After all, the two gentlemen are also doing it for my own sake."

Seeing Yuan Tan honestly admitting his mistakes, Yuan Shao felt more at ease, and said with a smile,

"That's right. You violated the military order, which is a serious crime. Breaking the Cao camp is a great achievement. If the merits and demerits are balanced, there will be no reward or punishment. Look, how about this?"

Yuan Tan didn't care much about any credit, so he immediately accepted the order with a smile and clasped his fists.

"Father sees thousands of miles away and makes a clear decision, and the child is convinced."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Yuan Shao laughing, Feng Ji and Guo Tu panicked.

To balance the merits and demerits?

Are you kidding me?
This is not called offsetting merits and demerits, it is clearly protecting Yuan Tan!
When they spoke to Yuan Shao to persuade them before, they didn't just talk about Yuan Tan's unwarranted expedition this time, but added up the previous few times.

But what do Yuan Shao's words count? Forget about the previous few times, it's good to balance the merits and demerits this time?
Feng Ji and Guo Tu only felt bitter in their hearts.

They originally thought that the worst outcome would be that Yuan Tan would be deprived of his position as commander of the cavalry.

The best result is to send Yuan Tan back to the camp to reflect.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao made them a meritorious demerit, no reward or no punishment?

In fact, Yuan Shao's idea is very simple. Cao Jun's [-]th Company Battalion has disturbed him for too long.

There are so many advisers and generals under his command, but there is not a single feasible idea.

Instead, it was Yuan Tan who stood up at the critical moment, made the final decision, and relieved him of his worries.

Not to mention, Yuan Tan is still his biological son.

Yuan Tan's meritorious service is half of him innately.

Such a son still needs to be punished?
To be honest, Yuan Shao wished that Yuan Tan could come here a few more times.

However, according to Feng Ji and Guo Tu, Yuan Tan's repeated disobedience to military orders may set a bad head for the lieutenant general.

So Yuan Shao added another sentence,
"Tan'er, you will command the cavalry in the future, and you will have the right to make temporary decisions when you meet a fighter, but you must remember, don't be reckless!"

In this way, even if other generals in the army wanted to follow suit, they were blocked.

Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Zhang Nan and Mayan looked at each other, but none of them envied Yuan Tan. After all, Yuan Tan's power was earned by his repeated achievements.

On the other hand, Feng Ji Guo Tu was completely dumbfounded.

Duke Ming, we want you to punish Yuan Tan, not to reward him.

However, Yuan Shao didn't think about it anymore, he got up directly, and said with a smile,

"My lords, Cao Jun's company battalion has been broken right now, and morale is in a slump. Go forward with all your strength and defeat the bandits in one fell swoop!"

After the words fell, Yuan Shao drew out his sword with a clang, pointing the sword at Fang Fang, "Send orders, attack in an all-round way!"

From Yuan Tan onwards, all the generals in Hebei stood up and clasped their fists: "Here!"
