With tears in his eyes, Guo Jijiu looked accusingly at the "ruthless and unrighteous" lord. He was clearly a noble gentleman who was as ethereal as a fairy. Why was he so "cruel and merciless" inside when he cut open his jade-like exterior.

He just asked one more question, and he would be regarded as an old scalper working day and night in the field. If he had known this, he would not have asked.

Conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't want to be buried in the pile of bamboo slips every day. In this lifetime, one cannot indulge in drinking or playing around wantonly. What's the point of living?

Lu Bu looked at the unruly and unruly Guo Jia with distaste, and curled his lips to look away. He was afraid that he would become like this after watching him for a long time. It is enough for the lord to have a fool who is not stupefied, and he can't follow suit.

Only those who are useful can be reused. Guys like Guo Fengxiao, who are always smiling and idle all day long, may be thrown elsewhere by the lord to fend for themselves.

Judging from the friendship they have been working with for so long, he will not get into trouble when the time comes, and maybe he can go to the restaurant outside to carry two jugs of tasteless bad wine to satisfy this guy's hunger, lest he is too down and can't even drink.

Guo Jiazhen was heartbroken and wiped away his tears, noticing that the eyes that fell on him looked up, the thoughts of Da fool Lu were written on his face, and he could guess what he was thinking without using his brain.

The fortune is not good, the fate is far-fetched, thinking of him, Guo Fengxiao, who claims to know everything about literature, military and martial arts, and now he is reduced to being laughed at by Lu Fengxian, he is really a failure.

Yuan Huan drank his tea briskly, pretending that he couldn't see the fighting skills of the two people around him, and had eaten his meal as if nothing had happened, just when Zhang He, Gao Lan and others came to the official office, Lu Bu grinned provocatively at Guo Jia, and the big man threw a threat there Extremely strong, no matter how you look at it, it is more reliable than Guo Fengxiao.

Guo Jia gave him a blank look, and didn't care about it like a brainless guy.

Yuan Huan bent his knuckles and knocked on the table twice, telling the two of them to calm down. It doesn't matter how noisy they are in private. I want to see outsiders soon, so don't let outsiders see the joke.

"My lord, worry too much. Jia and General Fengxian have a very close personal relationship. The two of us often travel together in Yecheng. General Fengxian can prove that Jia is not talking nonsense." .

Lu Bu froze, as if remembering something terrible, the two of them instantly became old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and they couldn't be more harmonious, "Mr. Don't worry about the two of us fighting, ha, ha, ha, ha."

Yuan Huan looked at the calm and calm Guo Guicai, then at General Lu with erratic eyes, chuckled lightly and said nothing.

The reaction of these two guys is so strange, there must have been a lot of things that he didn't know about before, for example, Guo Fengxiao used his clever head to fool the not-so-smart Lu Fengxian, and the two cooperated to hide Xun Gongda from doing bad things.

Xun You was busy with official duties, and it was already exhausting to look at Guo Jia alone. If Lu Bu was added, the two of them might have succeeded in their tricks.

Don't be in a hurry, meet these generals in Jizhou first, and then investigate what these two guys did secretly.

The spring sun shines on the yard, and it is warm in the afternoon, which is just right for basking in the sun. If you were still in Anguo Yuan Mansion, there are already a few low couches in the yard to watch the children play leisurely, but in Ye In the city, obviously there is no condition for leisurely basking in the sun in the afternoon.

The farm far away from the city is indeed suitable for recuperation. No matter what the chaos outside, the village is as safe and secure as a paradise. It's just that they are in the middle of the game and can't covet the comfort for a while. .

Yuan Huan is more willing to take the initiative in his own hands than to be dragged into troubled times.

The arrangement of generals is much more worry-free than that of civil servants. Apart from leaving [-] soldiers and horses to defend Yecheng, all generals have to be sent to garrison the fortress.

The black mountain bandits are dishonest. Qu Yi has already led his troops to Taihang Mountain. Gao Shun and Xun You went to Zhongshan together. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are stationed in Zhongshan and along the Hejian line, guarding against Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, but also guarding against Bohai Gongsun Yue's petty moves. Before breaking up with Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Yue's position as the prefect of Bohai Sea cannot be moved for the time being.

Spring farming is busy, and Jizhou and Yanzhou are constantly recruiting refugees. No matter what time, the population is the most important thing. The productivity level cannot reach a certain level. The number of households is almost the key to success or failure.

Yuan Huan came to Yecheng for more than half a month, and he met all the people he should see before his residence was able to accommodate people. The less than half a month was enough to restore the Yecheng Palace into a well-regulated state shepherd's mansion, and it was also enough for Xun You After handing over all the matters at hand, Gao Fuyi and Xun Gongda did not stay too long, and soon returned to Zhongshan together.

The black bandit Zhang Yan had a lot of contacts with Gongsun Zan. Zhang Yan was about to make a move, but Gongsun Zan couldn't possibly be ignorant of it.

Youzhou is jointly governed by Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu. What Yuan Huan is most worried about is not Gongsun Zan, but Liu Yu and Liu Boan, who have outstanding political achievements and reputation. No matter how powerful the force is, they may be defeated, but once they win the hearts of the people, things will be troublesome up.

People's hearts are a powerful weapon to compete for the world no matter where they are. He and the Liu clan are destined not to be together. For this kind of thing that has been a foregone conclusion from the very beginning, all he can do is to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible .

It's best to be unnoticed. If you can't cover up your intentions perfectly, you can only let people guess.

In a world of great contention, where there is blood, there must be contention. Mu Shou's clan is full of ambitions. There are not a few people who try to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Everyone is under the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty, but they really want to help the Han Dynasty Yes, even one slap can count.

Youzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, no matter how much he guards against Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, it is reasonable. There are powerful enemies around, so it would be strange not to take precautions and let others spy on him.

There are many talents available in Jizhou. If you are willing to stay by his side, you can stay in Jizhou if you are willing to serve him as the master. They make up their own minds, but as long as they choose to stay, it is best not to break ties with other forces.

Food for the king, loyalty to the king.

On the surface, there is no problem with the friendship between gentlemen, and there is no need to cut off daily contacts with private in-laws. He is just a superior official, not their father, and he is not so free that he even has to take care of his children's marriage.

The so-called broken roots are naturally those entanglements that shouldn't be involved. He understands what he means. If he wants to do the thing of repairing the plank road and stealing the old warehouse under his nose, he will do it if he is confident that he can hide it from him. Otherwise, don't blame him. Don't show mercy.

The county officials who had been beaten went back to their respective homes dripping with sweat. Thinking of the smiling face of that man, I couldn’t help but tremble in my heart. The allies were originally birds of the same forest, and when the disaster came, they flew separately. They were not serious allies in the first place. , At this time, there is nothing wrong with focusing on self-protection.

Besides, they are Jizhou officials, and they concentrate on managing the affairs of the subordinates. It is human nature not to want to get involved in the fight with the gods above, lest the city gate catch fire and cause the fish in the pond. They do not have the lofty ambitions of those above, and they can manage their own acre Three points are enough.

It's just that no matter how they react, in Yuan Huan's plan, the prefects and prime ministers of all counties in Jizhou will have to be replaced within three years.

It is more convenient to directly replace them with your own people than to take the trouble to make them sincerely rely on them. Now there are not many people who can use them. When the news is released to recruit talented people, a few great talents can be found in the sand for gold.

After all, the legs grow on the person himself. Compared with trying to find someone everywhere, it is more serious to sit on the Diaoyutai and wait for them to find them by themselves. People can run around all over the world, but Yecheng can't run.

Two days after Yuan Huan moved into the restored mansion, Xun You and Gao Shun left Yecheng. Not only were they going to leave, but also Yuan Shu who was holding on to the pillar with a stern face and refused to leave.

In Yuan Gonggong's mind, now Yuzhou and Nanyang are safe and sound, and there are people to help him take care of internal and external affairs. It is useless for him to return to Nanyang. What's wrong with letting him stay in Yecheng?

He will not return to Nanyang!

He will stay in Ye City!

Yuan Shu refused to leave, maybe because of guilty conscience, or maybe because of guilt. In short, the stupid brother who appeared in front of Yuan Huan these few times was more clingy than he remembered in front of the original owner.

The spring was bright and the light bamboo curtains swayed with the breeze. Yuan Huan stood tall and tall on the porch, watching his stupid younger brother who looked very similar to him sitting on the ground like a three-year-old child, holding the pillar and refusing to let go. The horns are slightly raised, but the smile does not reach the eyes.

The original owner would not be rough on his younger brother, not necessarily his stepbrother.

Under Yuan Huan's request, the mansion is no longer magnificent, but it is still ten steps to the first floor and five steps to one pavilion. The pavilions and pavilions are exquisite and elegant, and the vegetation is well trimmed. You can see the heritage and grace of the aristocratic family at the first glance.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to touch the house anymore, but he transferred a dozen or so capable domestic servants from his hometown in Runan, and having his own people to help take care of the inner house is definitely safer than casually looking for someone from outside.

Eldest brother just moved, if he left, there would be only elder brother alone in such a big house, how lonely elder brother would be.

The servants hid in the corner and did not dare to make a sound. The old servant in charge hadn't seen such a scene for many years. When he suddenly saw Yuan Shu rolling around, he was quiet and pretended that he couldn't hear anything.

There were obviously many people living in the yard, but it sounded like there were only two voices in a daze.

Yuan Shu looked at his brother pitifully, and could not be more humble, "Brother, Nanyang has nothing to do recently, please let me stay in Yecheng for a few more days."

"If Liu Jingsheng and Tao Gongzu join hands to send troops to Nanyang, how long can Nanyang's troops last?" How many days can the soldiers and horses last?"

"There is the Sili court in the north, and the Baibo thief can't hit Nanyang, so don't try to lie to me." Yuan Shu said solemnly, it's not too stupid to think bright, but every time he uses his brain, the timing is not right. People can't wait for him to be out of his mind all the time, "There are also Liu Biao and Tao Qian. They are more cowardly than the other. My brother, I just stand there and let them beat them. Don’t dare to attack Nanyang.”

He is the right and proper Nanyang prefect, even if Liu Biao is the clan of the Han Dynasty, it is useless. It doesn't look as rich as Nanyang County. He and Liu Biao seem to have only one county and the other occupies seven counties. In fact, they are evenly matched in strength. Even he, who only has Nanyang County, is slightly better.

Who let him not only own Nanyang County, but also control Yuzhou.

So what about the family members surnamed Liu? The Yuan family in Runan is no worse than the family members surnamed Liu. Even if Liu Biao was given ten more guts, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. And Tao Qian from Xuzhou, his own territory is still not stable. He wants to covet other places just to live, why doesn't he go to heaven.

Yuan Huan suppressed his smile, his thin lips tightly pursed his eyebrows like a distant mountain, the faint incense blended with the freshness of the plants and trees in the courtyard, it was light and distant and refreshing, but it made people unable to arouse the slightest charm.

Confidence is a good thing, too much self-confidence is not self-confidence, but arrogance.

If Liu Biao really didn't dare to attack Nanyang, who was the one who was driven out of Nanyang in history and could only flee to Yangzhou?

Even if he was given ten guts, he wouldn't dare to attack Nanyang. If he really didn't dare to attack, Yuan Gonglu would not be the one who died miserably in the end.

Yuan Shu had already planned to pester him, no matter how much his brother reprimanded him, he would not leave, but when his brother really turned cold, he started to feel scared and dare not pester him again.

The proud young man in brocade clothes got up from the ground, stood in the porch with lowered eyebrows, his voice was as soft as a mosquito calling, "Brother."

Yuan Huan didn't say anything else, just took a deep look at him, and slowly walked over him and walked outside. It's useless to play tricks, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss, get all the carriage guards ready, and tie them up later Just throw it in the car and take it away.

He stood in the air and reasoned with this guy when he had nothing to do.

Yuan Shu stared blankly at his brother leaving, and hurriedly followed, "Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, don't go, why don't I go?"

He just wanted to stay by Eldest Brother's side for a few more days, so it was as if he had made some heinous mistake, since this house couldn't accommodate him, he just left, no matter what, he and Eldest Brother were connected by blood Brother, no one in the world is as close as the two of them.

As long as he doesn't die for a day, he is the best... person in this world with big brother?

Yuan Gonggong chased after him in a hurry, and when he arrived at the door, he froze on the spot. His gentle brother was squatting on the bluestone road outside the door, and standing in front of him was a little doll who had just reached his thigh. It was carved out of a mold.

Considering your age, is it possible...

Yuan Shu's eyes turned red, he sniffed and walked over, and called out in a sad and mournful voice, "Brother, is this Jing'er?"

The little guy Yuan Jing lived with Guo Yi at Xun's house a few days ago. He couldn't be gentle with his father for a few days, and he was already upset. Staying together from morning to night, and met several brothers of the same age from the Sun family and the Cao family. The little guys get together and talk to each other, and they know almost everything they need to know.

Dad can't live with him in their own big house because their big house has been made so shameful that no one can live in it.

It is said that the man had a grudge against Father, and Father was worried that the enemy would bully the child unreasonably, so he sent him to another place.

Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of the enemy who has never met.

Yuan Jing remembered the enemy mentioned by her friends. Today, when she was studying with them, she vaguely heard that there was an outsider at his father's place, so she dropped the book and sneaked out without saying a word.

They had just moved into the mansion for a few days, but he had a good memory, and he remembered the way to the main courtyard clearly, even if there was no one to lead the way, he could find it by himself.

The little guy thought that he could not be noticed when he slipped out, but he didn't know that the friends next to him were all watching him, not to mention that they were not aware of it, they didn't hide it at all.

At the end of the courtyard wall, three or four little radish heads were lying in the corner, nervously watching Young Master Yuan running over, afraid that he would accidentally bump into each other, and even more afraid that he would sneak out and make his father angry.

Yuan Huan withdrew his gaze without any trace, rubbed the little guy's head and stood up, motioned Yuan Shu to follow him to the study, and then led his son to the study.

Since it happens to happen, there is no need to hide it.

The last time Yuan Gonglu went to the Yuan Mansion in Anguo, he hadn't stabilized yet. To Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers only had the image in the memory of the original owners, and they had never been with each other in person. He really didn't dare to take it lightly.

Now the stupid brother has proved with practical actions that being smart is temporary and being stupid is forever. It is impossible to hide the existence of the little guy Yuan Jing from outsiders.

The study room is quiet and bright. The sunlight pours down from the sky, forming fine shadows on the ground through the bamboo curtains on the window lattice. Green smoke curls up from the gilded incense burner.

Originally, Yuan Shu thought that he and his brother were the closest people in the world, and because his brother couldn't stop doing anything to him, that's why he messed around unscrupulously. Now seeing his little nephew standing in front of him, he was stunned.

It's not that he thinks that the little nephew is not good to live, but he realizes that the brotherhood between him and his brother will not compare to the father-son relationship between his brother and his little nephew after he has been entangled with begging for nothing.

He and his brother are not the closest.

Yuan Gonggong was full of grief and joy, and he followed him to the study room, and met his little nephew's vigilant gaze, and pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile.

It's just that he might not be smiling very well. The little nephew seemed to be frightened by him, and turned his head and immediately went to bite his brother's ear.

Yuan Jing has never been separated from his father for more than a day since he can remember, although it has not been long since he can remember, and even a normal child who is three or four years old does not remember anything, it does not prevent him from starting to hold grudges at a young age.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He is a child, and a child can take revenge from morning to night. Anyway, no overnight revenge.

The little guy tugged at his father's sleeve seriously, stood on tiptoe and lowered his voice to complain, "Father, he stared at me, is he going to kidnap me and turn me into an unwanted child?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is your third uncle." Yuan Huan explained softly, took his son to sit down in front of the desk, and then raised his hand to let Yuan Shu sit beside him, "Jing'er is young, you two haven't met before Now, it's not surprising that he doesn't know who you are."

Yuan Shu slumped and sat down, his soft voice actually looked a bit pitiful, "I thought, both Jing'er and sister-in-law..."

Since the little nephew is still alive, why didn't he see him last time?

Yuan Shu pursed his lips, thinking about when was the last time he went to Yuan's Mansion in Anguo, and counting the age of his little nephew, he was just a baby who had just learned to talk and walk, and he hadn't been in the mansion much. It is tightly protected, and it is not easy to leave the room.

It must be just a coincidence, not that the elder brother deliberately kept it from him.

He was afraid of poking his elder brother's sadness before, so he didn't dare to ask about the situation at that time, and he didn't have the face to ask what happened. He didn't know that Jing'er was still alive, and he didn't prepare a meeting ceremony. It was really rude.

The gift given when the little guy was born is not counted. At that time, the little nephew didn’t remember anything. The gift was given to an adult, so it had nothing to do with him. Now the little guy obviously has a memory, and the gift given at this moment is the friendship between their uncle and nephew. .

He and his eldest brother are blood brothers, and Jing Er is his own nephew. Their relationship is much closer than Yuan Benchu's. Even he just found out that Jing Er is still alive, so Yuan Benchu ​​must have been kept in the dark.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt much better.

Yuan Gonggong heaved a sigh of relief, looked at his little nephew who was snuggled up beside his brother, relaxed and said seriously, "Brother, today is too hasty, I will go back to Nanyang tomorrow to make up for Jing'er's meeting gift."

Yuan Huan: ...

If he knew this earlier, why did he waste so many words before, and just pull the little ancestor out.

Yuan Jing was very repulsed by this third uncle who disturbed him getting along with his father. If it wasn't too rude, he would even push him out to prevent him from coming in.

He doesn't want third uncle, just daddy.

The little guy's head turned quickly, and he keenly found something strange from the address. He opened his eyes wide and grabbed his father's sleeves. He was shocked by the truth he found out. This guy is the third uncle. Could it be? And second uncle?

Yuan Huan didn't think too much when he heard the little ancestor's question, "There is indeed a second uncle, but he is far away, and I won't see him for a while, maybe in a few years."

Yuan Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that it would be best not to see him in this lifetime.

Not long after, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Sun Ce knocked on the door and came in. Seeing that Yuan Shu and Yuan Jing were swallowing back the words that were about to come out, he spoke quickly after getting permission from their lord, " My lord, the Heishan bandits took advantage of my lord to come to Ye City to disturb Changshan County, and General Qu Yi has already fought with the bandit army, but they have never seen the bandit leader Zhang Yan."

Before Yuan Huan could speak, Yuan Shu was already so angry that he wanted to yell at him, but he suddenly remembered that this was not his study, so he shut up angrily.

The little guy Yuan Jing looked at the eldest brother of the Sun family curiously. Before he could take a second look, Yuan Huan summoned a maid to take him out, and sent them all back to study, along with the little boys who had been sneaking around outside the courtyard wall just now. .

After the arrangements were made, the little brats who ran out asked calmly, "Is there any abnormality in Gongsun Zan's place?"

"I don't know yet." Sun Ce shook his head. He immediately reported to the manor after receiving the news.

Yuan Shu endured it for a while, seeing that they all pretended that he didn't exist, coughed twice and asked tentatively, "Brother, why don't I leave now?"

Yuan Huan glanced over, "Sit down and listen, Bo Fu, order Fengxian Wenyuan to come to the study, and send someone to the official office to call Wen Ruofengxiao over."

If you let him leave early, he will not leave, but if you want to leave now, it is too late.
