There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

He could kill Yuan Shang with his own hands, but he still has lingering fears about the crime of killing his mother.

So he wanted to ask a potter to help him solve this problem.

"It's better to keep it in danger," Yuan Tan made a gesture of cutting with his hands.

The pottery merchant casually glanced at Yuan Tan, who had a ferocious face, and suddenly said to Zhao Yun, "Temporarily detain these female relatives, treat them well, and don't let them be wronged."

After Zhao Yun heard the words, he immediately took orders and left.

Yuan Tan was stunned when he saw this.

He looked at the potter in confusion: "Prime Minister, why?"

"Now is not the time." The pottery merchant said lightly, "Looking at Hebei right now, there is still the last army that has not been eliminated, and they also have considerable hidden dangers. As long as they are completely wiped out, brother can sit back and enjoy the city of Ye. You have truly become the lord of the Yuan family. It will not be too late to deal with Yuan's widow by then."

Yuan Tan rolled his eyes and said, "You mean Yuan Xi?"

The potter nodded and said: "That's right, Yuan Ximu, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Zhao Rui, Lu Weihuang and others are protecting Yuan Shao's coffin, running around Hebei like a fly without a head. He was Yuan Shao's orthodox successor when he was dying, and he is also a big threat to my brother, only by getting rid of him can my brother enjoy Jizhou in peace."

Yuan Tan wondered: "Then why hasn't the prime minister sent troops to destroy Yuan Xi? He is just a weaker army now, if he sends troops, a battle can be won."

The pottery merchant said indifferently: "My soldiers and horses have just gone through a battle with Yuan Shao, and they are really exhausted. I want to hand over this matter to Brother Yuan and General Gao Gan's Bingzhou Army. Of course, I will also send out Capable generals, soldiers and horses, as well as suitable assistants will help my brother, I don't know if my brother will agree."

The crusade against Yuan Xi is not a big deal. Yuan Tan is confident that he can wipe out these old Yuan clans in one battle, but what does the so-called "suitable assistant" mean by the pottery merchant?

Seeing that Yuan Tan didn't understand what he meant, the potter clapped his hands lightly. After a while, three people walked into the hall.

"Brother Yuan, I will let these three people assist you."

Yuan Tan froze when he saw them.

Tian Feng, Pang Ji, Guo Tu!

Chapter 788 I'll be there

When Yuan Tan saw these three people, he was stunned.

He looked at the pottery merchant in surprise and wondered, "Prime Minister, who are these three people?"

The pottery merchant smiled slightly, pointed at Tian Feng and the other three people and said, "Just like my elder brother, they also left the dirt road, abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and surrendered to the imperial court from the Yuan family. This time, when my elder brother is attacking Yuan Xi, I will send Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to lead the army. , and then send these three people as assistants, they are all wise and resourceful, and they will definitely help Brother Yuan in his crusade against Yuan Xi."

Yuan Tan nodded suspiciously, then squinted at the three of them.

But Tian Feng stepped out and said to Yuan Tan: "Young Master Yuan, don't misunderstand. Tian Mou turned his back on Yuan Shi and joined the Prime Minister's command long ago. Speaking of which, Young Master and I are also in the same disease, and we will be regarded as colleagues in the future." , please take care of me, my lord."

The matter of Tian Feng's feigned surrender was planned secretly by Yuan Shao, Jushou and others, and they did not tell everyone. Now that Yuan Shao and Jushou are both dead, he naturally wants to say what to do.

Yuan Tan looked at Tian Feng, and said: "After Yuan occupied Yecheng, he checked the prisons in Yecheng and found that Yuan Haogong's family and relatives were all imprisoned and did not die."

Tian Feng had already prepared for this, but seeing him startled all over, he said excitedly: "Young Master, what you say is serious!"

Tian Feng's voice was extremely loud, but it scared Yuan Tan into a fright, thinking to himself, is this old ghost trying to scare people to death?

But this son almost peed his pants in fear.

Then, I saw Tian Feng bursting into tears, crying: "General, it is Tian who is sorry for you! Unexpectedly, you did not harm my family, but I am revenge on you with hatred. Speaking of which, I, Tian Feng, am really not a human being!"

Tian Feng burst into tears, his expression and sadness were contagious, as if he really missed Yuan Shao deeply.

But among these, more than [-]% of the feelings are true, but Tian Feng expressed them from another angle.

Everyone comforted Tian Feng, and Guo Tu and Pang Ji then helped him down.

Yuan Tan pulled over the potter and said, "Prime Minister, what are you doing? Why do you let them follow me!"

The pottery merchant reached out and patted Yuan Tan's shoulder, and said: "Actually, there is no other meaning. Brother Yuan has also seen that these conspirators have just surrendered, but they still miss their old masters. They still pretend to be your father in their hearts, without me. , I don't agree with you, your words are the most convincing, you pat your conscience and say a word of justice, to you, what is worse between me and your father than me?"

Yuan Tan slammed his mouth, always felt that these words didn't sound very good.

There is always a sense of being taken advantage of.

"What is the prime minister's intention of asking them to follow me to attack Yuan Xi?"

Tao Shang explained to him: "I want to use this battle to let them participate. If Yuan Xi is killed, their relationship with the Yuan family will be completely severed from now on. In addition, Brother Yuan is a member of the Yuan family. , Brother directly mobilizes them, it's better than me pointing fingers now, I hope you can help me conquer their loyalty."

Yuan Tan snorted and said, "Why are you so troublesome? Just kill him! Don't get involved in right and wrong."

The pottery merchant said in a low voice: "There are some things, where is it that you kill them just by talking about killing them? These people have some roots in Hebei. I want to use their prestige to establish a new trend for the imperial court in Hebei, so that my brother will sit in Yebei in the future." In the city, it is easier and more convenient to do things.”

Yuan Tan's expression was still that of the boss's displeasure.

But the potter directly took out his trump card to make Yuan Tan turn his back on him, and almost laughed out loud.

"Brother, what do you think this is?"

Yuan Tan took the brocade silk that the pottery merchant handed him, read the words on it, and suddenly froze.

"This, this is the imperial edict to confer on me as Jizhou Shepherd, Marquis of Wuping?"

The pottery merchant nodded, and said softly: "It's just a matter of stamping a big official seal on it with the jade seal, as long as my brother can do it for me."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Tan rolled up the edict and stuffed it back into the hands of the potter.

The pottery merchant misunderstood Yuan Tan's actions for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Brother, don't you want it?"

"Then why not? I'm asking the prime minister to send someone back to cover it!"

The pottery merchant turned his surprise into a smile: "Brother, you can do whatever you want, don't worry, after the destruction of Yuan Xi, Xun Chen and others, this imperial edict will naturally be stamped with the emperor's jade seal."

Yuan Tan laughed loudly: "Quick! Leave this matter to Yuan, and as for the three, I will take over for you as a brother."

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of the potter's mouth.

Yuan Tanli wanted to confuse his heart, so he went to a high-ranking officer that day and asked him to order troops and send generals, entangled with the state army and prepared to chase and kill Yuan Xi.

And Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and others also packed up their troops and set off with Yuan Tan.

Tian Feng, Guo Tu, and Pang Ji went out with Zhao Yun's army.

On the night of the expedition, Tian Feng found Guo Tu and Pang Ji by his side.

The relationship between the three of them was not very good at first, so in the case of meeting alone, the scene seemed somewhat awkward.

Tian Feng looked at the two of them back and forth, and said slowly: "To be honest, Tian has never looked down on you two."

The two immediately became angry!

How can this be an attitude of negotiating matters?
