Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, had just arrived in Suanzao, and before he had rested, Yuan Shao's people came and invited him to go to Yuan Shao's camp to pick up the wind and wash away the dust.

Qiao Mao was very close because his ancestors were close friends with Yuan Shao's ancestors, they were quite close, and they were also related to aristocratic families.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's behavior of rejecting Tong Gao's canonization, tearing up his face with Tong Gao, and leaving with the crown made Qiao Mao admire him very much, so Qiao Mao admired Yuan Shao very much.

In fact, Qiao Mao also had the intention to reject Yuan Shao as the leader of the Suanzao League, so Yuan Shao suddenly invited him to take over, but Qiao Mao didn't refuse at all, Dang even readily agreed.

Qiao Mao went to the banquet, but Qiao Lao didn't go to the banquet together. He just said that he was too old and couldn't help running around, so he rested in his camp and didn't come.

Qiao Lao is Qiao Xuan's younger brother, and has a long and high status in the Qiao family. It is a pity that Qiao Lao did not attend the banquet this time, but Yuan Shao is a bit sorry, but Qiao Mao has already come, which is not satisfactory.

"Brother Qiao! Brother Qiao! You really want to kill me!"

Yuan Shao personally welcomed Qiao Mao into the banquet, and the two sat down hand in hand and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

During the conversation, Qiao Mao really talked about Wei Man, and said: "Mr. Yuan, do you still remember the Captain Wei that I read in my letter a few days ago? He is the son of the Taiwei Wei Pei. He is really young and promising! I heard that you used to What a coincidence that Li is still a close friend!"

Yuan Shao heard him mention Wei Man, and he was very appreciative in his words, he was very displeased, his eyes moved slightly, and he sighed and said: "Alas—Brother Qiao, you don't know, this Wei Man was indeed My best friend, it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

Qiao Mao heard some of the reasons, so he started to ask.

Yuan Shao hesitated on purpose, and said: "I didn't want to say more about others, but brother Qiao didn't know something, I only knew one thing, and I didn't know the other, so I can only be a bad person today, and say it for Brother Qiao .”

Yuan Shao immediately said: "This Wei Man is actually a running dog. With some money in the family, he goes around like a fool. He usually rapes women and disregards human life. He does a lot of things. Because of his father and father He is famous, so no one else dared to provoke him, and I reminded him in many ways, but he just didn't listen, alas, he can't be taught, and now he has recruited some soldiers in Chenliu, and he has become even more rampant!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

Qiao Mao was taken aback, and said in amazement, "I only heard that Wei Man is straightforward and has the air of a general. He even wrote a letter recommending him to come to Suanzao Huimeng. How could this be so?"

Yuan Shao wanted to speak ill of Wei Man, but Qiao Mao said, "It's just... a few days ago, Duke Yuan was ambushed in the valley, and Wei Man's soldiers came to rescue him? Could it be that there was nothing like this, and it was also fabricated?"

"This……"

Yuan Shao's face was not good-looking, and he froze immediately. This matter was widely spread, and it had been confirmed long ago, and there was no one in Yuan Shao's camp, so it would be useless to argue, so he bit the bullet and admitted it.

When Qiao Mao heard this, he laughed and said, "That's right, it must be that Wei Man was greedy and stubborn when he was young. I don't believe in these rapes/robbings. The person who can help at a critical moment must be a real man. How could he do that?" What about these dirty and nasty things? It must be rumored! As Wei Xiaowei's sworn brother, Yuan Gong, why doesn't he trust his own brother?"

Yuan Shao's face was full of embarrassment, as if his gloomy twist could flow water, and he was not good at crossing with Qiao Mao, so he wanted to evade it. At this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of roaring sound, like the roar of a wild beast, Came from afar.

"Wei Gong is benevolent and righteous, and I would like to return to Wei Gong! We will work together to achieve the festival of ministers!"

"To Duke Wei! To Duke Wei!"

"As a result of the minister's day—"

There were loud roars coming from outside the tent, Qiao Mao was a little puzzled and said, "What's that sound? Why are you screaming?"

Yuan Tan walked in from the outside, his face darkened, and he said bravely, "Father, Duke Qiao, this is... this is... the rebel Zhang Ji and others who were captured by Duke Wei a few days ago, all of them surrendered to Duke Wei. Voice……"

"what!?"

Before Qiao Mao was surprised, Yuan Shao was already surprised. The "Teng" guy stood up and said in shock: "Zhang Ji joined Wei Man?!"

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Returning to my father, yes, and with... all the soldiers and horses to serve Duke Wei."

Yuan Tan's words seemed to have slapped his own father's face, causing Yuan Shao's face to turn red and blue from the pain.

Zhang Ji, who had damaged most of Yuan Shao's troops, actually joined Wei Man. To Yuan Shao, wouldn't it be that he received a big slap on the left and right cheeks, which was really painful!

Yuan Shao's complexion was not good, compared to Qiao Mao's, he was very happy, nodded and smiled and said: "No mistake, no mistake, a hero is a young man, it seems that I really didn't let him go, Wei Man is just around the corner No wonder Bao Xin also tried to say that only Wei Man can calm the cholera of the Dong thief. In the past, I still didn’t believe it.

Qiao Mao sighed for a while, as if he had shaken Yuan Shao's ears again, Yuan Shao didn't know how many ear blows he had received, but the pain was severe.

Yuan Shao couldn't get angry, and there was no way to get angry. After all, Qiao Mao and Qiao Lao were highly respected. Yuan Shao has suffered a disadvantage now. If he wants to be promoted to the leader, he must have Qiao Mao's support.

Yuan Shao laughed dryly.

Qiao Mao said enthusiastically: "Since Duke Wei is not far away, how about inviting Duke Wei to have a drink together?"

Qiao Mao looked at Yuan Shao, and said: "Duke Yuan and Duke Wei are brothers and sisters. A few days ago, Duke Wei saved Yuan Gong's army in the valley. This kindness is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Why don't you take advantage of this situation?" , invite Wei Gong to come together, let's drink a few cups, wouldn't it be fun?!"

Qiao Mao was very happy, Yuan Shao didn't mean to be happy at all, he gritted his teeth hard, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of revealing his inner feelings.

Then he smirked and said, "Naturally! Naturally! To tell you the truth, Brother Qiao, brother Mengde and I are siblings. We are really closer than siblings. It would be a blessing if we could drink together today!"

He said, turned to Yuan Tan, gritted his molars and said, "My son, don't hurry up! Go to Weiying quickly and invite my righteous brother to come, just say me and Duke Qiao, wait for him to drive, in case It's for face!"

Qiao Mao also said: "That's right, let's also invite Mr. Changqiu, who is known to be wise and wise, from Wei Gongying. A few days ago, he helped my uncle heal his leg disease. I haven't thanked him face to face. It just so happens that I have this opportunity today. It is also good to see the respect."

Yuan Tan nodded quickly and said, "Yes, this junior will go right away."

"Wei Gong is benevolent and righteous, and I would like to return to Wei Gong! We will work together to achieve the festival of ministers!"

"Work together to the end!"

In the Wei camp, shouts echoed to the sky, and they kept shouting several times to ensure that Yuan Shao's camp could hear clearly, Zhang Ji finally stopped his voice.

Not long after, Xia Yuanyun came to report, saying: "Brother, Yuan Changzi Yuan Tan pays a visit."

When Wei Man heard it, Yuan Tan?Why is this restless and kind boy again.

Wei Man originally wanted Zhang Rang to avoid him, so he deliberately didn't call Zhang Rang over so that Yuan Tan could not see Zhang Rang.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Yuan Tan walked in from the outside, and before entering Weiying's shogunate tent, he met Zhang Rang unexpectedly.

Zhang Rang was carrying the medicine box, and together with Zhang Feng, he had just finished treating the sick soldiers and was walking back when he heard a joyful voice saying, "Mr. Changqiu!"

Zhang Rang looked back and saw that it was Yuan Tan.

Then he nodded and said, "Young Master Yuan."

Yuan Tan smiled and said to Zhang Rang: "Mr. Changqiu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Ever since I got Suanzao, I haven't had time to see Mr. Changqiu. I miss you so much!"

Zhang Rang was a little surprised, and said, "Master Yuan Chang misses me?"

Yuan Tan just said this, because he was happy for a while, so he said it quickly, and regretted it a little after he said it, for fear that Zhang Rang would think that he had bad intentions.

Yuan Tan did have bad intentions at first, but gradually he also felt that Zhang Rang was very talented, and his ulterior motives became mixed.

Seeing that Zhang Rang didn't show any displeasure, Yuan Tan tentatively said, "Exactly, then... what about Mr., sir, do you miss Yu Tan?"

Wei Man was waiting for Yuan Tan in the shogunate, but he heard the joyful shout of Mr. Yuan Chang, and immediately felt a "thump" in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence that Yuan Tan bumped into Zhang Rang on the way?

Wei Man couldn't sit still immediately, "Wow!" He opened the curtain and walked out, just in time to hear Yuan Tan express his heart, telling how much he misses Zhang Rang.

When Wei Man heard this, he sneered in his heart. He was very disdainful, and was about to step forward, but he heard Yuan Tan so desperately asking if Zhang Rang missed him?

Wei Man wanted to step forward to separate Zhang Rang and Yuan Tan, but when he heard Yuan Tan's question of "suicide", he suddenly slowed down his pace, with an inexplicable sinister smile on his face.

Wei Man thought to himself, who do you ask wrong?Do you have to ask the hard-hearted Zhang Rang?If you ask ordinary people, maybe they will greet you, but this question is on Zhang Rang's head...

That is really asking for death!

Wei Man suddenly became less anxious, walked over steadily, and took advantage of this moment to ask Zhang Rang to answer Yuan Tan.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang's face remained unchanged. Hearing Yuan Tan's question, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said lightly, "I've been very busy these days, and I never thought of Mr. Yuan Chang."

Yuan Tan: "..."

Yuan Tan's complex expressions of surprise, amazement, disappointment, embarrassment, and embarrassment intertwined together, he laughed, the smile was really uglier than crying.

"Isn't this Mr. Yuan Chang?"

Wei Man waited for Yuan Tan to humiliate him, then he walked over and said with a smile, "What wind brought Mr. Yuan Chang here?"

Yuan Tan coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "That's how it is. Qiao Gonggong, the prefect of Dongjun, was cleaning up the dust in my father's camp. Qiaogong mentioned Wei Gong and Mr. Changqiu, and he really wanted to meet him, so My father specially ordered Tan to come and invite Wei Gong and Mr. Changqiu."

"The fate is so!"

Wei Man smiled without airs, and said: "Mr. Qiao is an elder, and he is the one who recommended me to come to Suanzao. I will not sell this face to anyone, and I have to sell it to Mr. Qiao. Please send a message to Mr. Yuan, Changqiu and I. This will pass."

Yuan Tan said: "That's very good, then Tan will leave first."

"and many more!"

Yuan Tan was very embarrassed, and wanted to rush away, but Wei Man stopped him relentlessly.

Wei Man looked at Yuan Tan with a smile, and said quietly: "Young Master Yuan always runs to our Weiying all the way. It's too much trouble, so please tell Yuan Gong. Next time, if there is something wrong, don't make Mr. Yuan more troublesome." Just take a trip, just send any soldier and servant..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Zhang Rang with a smile, "What does Mr. Changqiu think?"

Zhang Rang didn't feel much about this, and Wei Man only asked this question because he had figured out his temper.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang said calmly: "It's all right."

Zhang Rang's words were fine, it was like a thunderbolt struck directly on Yuan Tan's head.

"Crack!"

Wei Man watched Yuan Tan leaving Wei Ying in a daze, and he felt really indescribably happy, and he smiled like a flower.

Zhang Rang looked at Wei Man strangely, not knowing what he was laughing at.
