In the morning, the sun is shining.

Jizhou Nanpi City.

Since Yuan Shao's migration to the capital, Nanpi has become the political, military and commercial center of Hebei.

The city was built very tall and sturdy, and some were expanded to the north and south. It is the first heroic city in Hebei.

At present, Yuan Shao is fighting outside, while the remaining personnel are recruiting new troops, gathering food and grass, and giving enough troops and enough food to the front.

Yuan Shao's General's Mansion.

The scale of the mansion is extremely large. In addition to Yuan Shao's women, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, the third son Yuan Shang, and some of Yuan Shao's unpopular sons lived in the mansion.

The Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers were fighting each other, and there were quite a few conflicts in the mansion.

In Yuan Tan’s house and study.

Yuan Tan was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe with a majestic crown and was reading a book seriously. But the joy that could not be concealed between his eyebrows and eyes.

He put down the book, stood up and paced back and forth between his waist with his hands crossed.

"In the front, Zhang He and Wen Chou began to attack the Liang army's crossing the river. If they could win, Guo Tu would definitely be valued. If his weight is heavy, my weight will also increase."

Yuan Tan took a deep breath, but was also happy, but also resentful. He left the study and came to the room next to him.

In this room, there is a table table with a bronze mirror on it. Yuan Tan sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the face inside, but was full of resentment.

He is tall, but his appearance is a little ordinary. Because of this, he is despised by Yuan Shao. Although he is the eldest son, he cannot compete with Yuan Shang.

Even Yuan Tan himself hated himself, why did his parents have such outstanding colors but gave him such a face?

"Hmph." Yuan Tan groaned and pushed down the bronze mirror in front of him. His face turned red, his chest kept rising and falling, and his breathing was rapid.

Yuan Tan sat back, and after a long time he calmed down his panting, his face regained a calm smile. After thinking for a while, he stood up and left the room, walked out of the yard along the corridor, and went to see his mother in the back house.

"Da da da da da."

Yuan Tan raised his head and looked at the person in front of him, and his face suddenly showed a gloomy look. The man was tall and tall, with a wide-sleeved white dress, and was graceful.

What a first-class handsome man. It was Yuan Shang.

"Hmph." Yuan Tan stood still, his face was cold, and he snorted coldly.

Yuan Shang looked at his elder brother without snorting, but just sneered and left with a squirting sleeve.

"This guy, go flatter my mother again." Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Shang's back, jealous of his appearance, and was angry that he could flatter.

Originally, his father was pretty good to him as his eldest son. But since Yuan Shang grew up and tried his best to curry favor with his mother, his life became more and more difficult.

Parents prefer their youngest son...

"Hmph." Yuan Tan became more and more angry when he thought of this. Even his mother became jealous. He stopped looking at his mother and turned around and left.

Yuan Tan was too focused and didn't hear the footsteps behind him, so he almost hit someone. A fragrant wind blew in his face.

"Brother."

Yuan Tan stood still, looked at the beautiful figure in front of him, and his face changed slightly.

This woman's skin is fair and as white as a cream, and her appearance is dignified and elegant, extremely elegant and luxurious, with a gorgeous bun and a complete range of gold and silver jewelry. Not to mention her sleeves and dress. Her figure is taller than that of ordinary women, but she is bulging in front and raised back. Although she does not have the beauty of a woman's weakness, it is extremely attractive to men's eyes.

She looked straight and behaved properly.

She has a kind of maternal demeanor to the world.

This is the daughter-in-law of his second brother Yuan Xi, and his surname is Zhen.

Currently, Yuan Xi is in Youzhou as the governor, leaving Zhen to live alone in the General's Mansion. Yuan Tan's feelings about this sister-in-law are a bit complicated.

This is a woman he wants to touch but dare not.

My father really pointed out a good wife to my second brother, but I had nothing. Yuan Tan took a deep breath, nodded to Zhen, and then hurriedly left.

He really didn't dare to have more contact with this sister-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't know where his eyes would look, and he couldn't help it.

Even if it is an ordinary family, the elder brother should not look at his sister-in-law like this. What's more, the Yuan family, let alone the Yuan brothers are competing for the competition?

Zhen turned her body and turned to look at Yuan Tan's hurried departure, which was really a little embarrassed. She sighed lightly, not thinking too much about men and women, but was worried about the current situation of the Yuan family.

She is a very knowledgeable woman. Since ancient times, brothers have been tragically woe to each other.

Recently she has been reading the Records of the Grand Historian.

Emperor Wen of Han had a daughter named Princess Guantao. After the princess died, her son Chen Xu, the marquis of Tangyi, had sex with the woman during the mourning period, and fought with her brothers for family property. According to Han laws, Chen Xu committed suicide and the fiefdom was abolished.

In the family of princes, brothers fought for property and ended up like this. What's more, the general is not just an ordinary prince.

"And although my elder brother is a little talented, he has an impatient personality. Besides being good-looking, his third brother is extremely sweet, but he is incompetent. Alas."

In short, Zhen is smart, her husband is not valued and has no desire to compete. It is like an outsider. Seeing Yuan Shao's son fighting, he had a premonition of something.

Zhen stopped for a moment and then headed towards the main house of the inner house.

In the main room, Yuan Shao’s wife, the biological mother of the three brothers Yuan Tan, and Mrs. Liu were sitting on the ground doing needlework. This is the case for the woman. It’s not that the Yuan family needs her to do things, but just do nothing, so she does needlework and passes the time.

Mrs. Liu smiled and was very happy. Zhen immediately guessed that it might be her third brother who made her happy.

Her mother is not a good-looking person, she is jealous. Her father has a concubine and a son who is born in vain often has no food.

The brothers in Yuan Shao's family were fighting each other, and his mother also helped a lot.

It’s true that there is a virtuous wife in the family, but the husband will not cause trouble. If there is a virtuous wife in the family, the family business will be unstable.

Although Zhen shook her head in her heart, she was extremely respectful on her face. She bent down and bowed and bowed: "Mother."

"Get up, get up." Mrs. Liu has always been very fond of Zhen, and she is in a good mood. She quickly asked her daughter-in-law to get up and let her sit beside her. The two started chatting.

Mrs. Liu praised her younger son in words.

After hearing so many such words, Zhen was extremely impatient, but she listened quietly for a long time before finally saying: "Mother, my third brother's wife gave birth to a son, and I want to go back and take a look."

Zhen is from Wuji, Zhongshan, and has three brothers.

The Zhen family is a very prominent family, and people have served as two thousand stone high-ranking officials for generations. Otherwise, they would not have been able to enter the Yuan Shao family.

This kind of thing is normal. Mrs. Liu didn't think much about it, and nodded with a smile and said, "That's really gratifying. Go to the warehouse and bring more gifts back."

"No." Zhen agreed with confidence.

"By the way. Although Zhang Yan has been wiped out now, there are still some little thieves occasionally. Bring some guards and be careful."

Mrs. Liu was a little worried and reminded her.

"No." Zhen still agreed respectfully. Then, she bid farewell to Mrs. Liu and walked out lightly and calmly.

Mrs. Liu stared at her wife's back and couldn't help but praise her.

As the daughter-in-law's steps were shaking, the golden step swaying, and it was a swaying posture. Especially the daughter-in-law's butt was so fat that she was really easy to raise.

What a pity, my son went to the cold place in Youzhou as the governor, and he had no chance to get close to him.

Why.

Zhen quickly returned to her house and let her close maid stay busy. She sat quietly in the house, with joy on her face.

Although the Yuan family is magnificent, there are too many dirty things. Her husband is in Youzhou again. This huge house seems to be made of ice and frost, which is really boring. It is better to go back to Zhongshan and live with his brothers and sisters-in-law.

"Oh. It's a pity that my mother's house cannot live forever, so I still have to come back." Zhen sighed, but then became excited again.

Not long after, the maid came back and reported that everything was ready.

Zhen stood up and Pingting left her yard. Outside the door, there was a carriage, a team of guards, a team of domestic slaves, a team of maids, and several large carriages with tents and gifts.

Zhongshan Wuji is very far from Nanpi, so they have to walk for many days.

Zhen did not leave any souvenirs, and even got on the carriage anxiously. Under the command of a guard, the coachman waved the whip and left the general's mansion and headed towards the west gate.

Zhongshan Kingdom is in the west of Nanpi.

In the carriage, Zhen was kneeling down and bent down to take out a piece of cloth from a box to see it. A chuckled slightly on her elegant and luxurious face.

"My nephew is eight pounds, he is such a fat boy."

Nanpi City is prosperous and noisy, and in a remote courtyard, there are a group of men living in a group of men who speak Hebei accents for less than a month. They basically don’t leave their homes every day, which is very mysterious.

They were the Hebei people among the three armies of Qimen, Hu Ben and Yulin under Zhang Xiu, and their organization was different. Before they set off, they temporarily organized them.

It was divided into two teams, and the leader was a fifty-man general Du Bo.

The name is Zhang Lian.

Zhang Xiu's three armies have not had strong practical experience. Since Zhang Xiu became the Grand Sima, he has rarely led his personal soldiers to fight.

However, their daily training is extremely strict, and their food is excellent. They are well-trained and strong, and they are very good at fighting soldiers.

After being ordered to arrive in Nanpi, these people have been living in this house in a low-key manner, without weapons or horses, and all of them have been left in a house outside the city.

They used a lot of money and bribed a servant in Yuan Shao's mansion, staring at Zhen's movements.

As soon as Zhen left, someone came to inform him.

Zhang Lian stood under the eaves, looked at the twenty people arranged neatly in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, Your Majesty's will is our order. We must do what he wants to do."

"Go away. Take back what your Majesty wants."

"promise."

More than twenty soldiers of the three armies all whispered, and then a group of people opened the door directly and chased the west.
