At the Jizhou Muslim Mansion, the middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground, trembling, while Yuan Shao was looking at him with a gaze of wanting to eat people.

"Waste, really, is a waste. Even this small matter cannot be done well. My convoy of Jizhou Patriarch was actually robbed by a group of bandits. Wouldn't it make people laugh when it is spread out?"

He was so angry that he picked up the table in front of him and smashed it over. The middle-aged man couldn't dodge and was directly hit and bleeding.

Guo Tu, Xu You and others stood on both sides, and no one dared to speak.

The middle-aged man covered his head and cried: "I'll kill me..."

Yuan Shao became more and more angry when he heard this: "I was so annoyed that I came, so I dragged it down and chopped it down. Then he ordered Ju Yi to lead 30,000 troops to wipe out Bai Bo's army."

"The lord keeps someone under his sword!"

Gao Lan hurried over. When the middle-aged man saw him coming, he hurried over to cry.

Gao Lan glanced at him disgustedly, and then saluted Yuan Shao respectfully.

"Lord, this matter is really too surprising. Most of the convoys are coachmen and too few guards. No matter what, they are not a match for the tens of thousands of people in Bai Bo's army. Please ask the lord to let the uncle go to the Internet and live a life."

Yuan Shao was furious and couldn't listen to anyone's words.

"No one is allowed to plead! The envoy of the prestigious Jizhou Patriarchate was actually robbed of property by a bandit. He was so scared that he wet his pants and kowtowed to the bandits for mercy. What's the use of such an incompetent person? He actually has the face to deliver a letter to the bandits. He lost all my face in Jizhou. Why are you still standing there? Just drag it down quickly!"

The middle-aged man hugged Gao Lan's thigh in panic: "Save me, save me..."

Among the many strategists on both sides, some watched coldly, some looked gloating, and some wanted to persuade, but looking at Yuan Shao's face, they still wanted to speak but stopped.

Gao Lan wanted to save his uncle, but he couldn't find a reason. Suddenly, he saw a roll of cloth thrown aside and had a plan.

"Stop, I dare to ask my lord, what is the matter in the letter Xu Huang sent?"

Yuan Shao looked at him angrily: "Just a bandit, what can I do? I guess it's just asking for money and food."

Gao Lan was happy: "In this way, the lord hasn't read the contents of the letter yet?"

"What can I see in this kind of thing?" Yuan Shao was very disdainful.

Gao Lan strode over and picked up the letter.

"Xu Huang and Qianzhao of Bai Bo's army have always been known for being low-key and calm. If they were just some words that showed off their power, they would never make a special trip to leave the life of their clan uncle and let him come to deliver the letter. In the opinion of their subordinates, this letter is definitely extraordinary."

After he said this, Yuan Shao hesitated a little.

"Well... it seems to make some sense."

As soon as he saw Yuan Shao's reply, Feng Ji immediately stood up: "Ji thought General Gao was right. Since the other party came here, you might as well look at it. My great Jizhou is so dignified, why are you afraid of a bandit? If this person is not jealous, it will not be too late to send troops to confiscate him."

Yuan Shao then shook his hand: "Well, let's see what is said in the letter."

"Here."

Gao Lan hurriedly pulled away the thin rope tied with silk and slowly opened the silk.

"Remember to present to the Lord Yuan Benchu ​​of Jizhou: Xu Huang, a man from Hedong, was appointed as a county official at a low-key man. Later, he had no choice but to be defeated. He followed General Yang Feng in Taihang Mountain with his brother. He only sought out the opportunity to seek peace and fame. Liu He, Bingzhou, killed my brother and killed my lord, and was also stubborn and powerful. He was not his master. The Duke owned the Central Plains, with a 100,000 banners and a thousand good generals. He was a powerful man at the time, but he was particularly unsatisfied. Huang was willing to use 40,000 Baibo Army as a supporting officer, to take Bingzhou and enter Luoyang. If the matter is accomplished, he will only plan a small county in Yanmen. He hopes to learn from the public and think about it and accept it well. This is a great blessing for each other. If he does not follow, when I unified Taihang Mountain, what I have taken should not be stopped here. Even if the Duke comes in person, I will not see you again."

After reading it, Gao Lan's face turned dark.

"presumptuous!"

Xu You shouted angrily: "This Xu Huang is just a bandit who dares to speak to his lord like this and threaten him. If this person is not killed, where is the face of his lord?"

Yuan Shao was also furious when he heard this and slapped the table.

"What a Xu Huang, I'm really looking for death. I'll lead the army to capture Xu Huang alive!"

Everyone was a little panicked: "Lord, lord, the terrain of Taihang Mountain is complicated. Although the bandits are a mob, they can occupy the advantage of the territory, and they cannot be captured in one or two days. How can the lord take risks in person? It is more safe to send a general to the place."

After being persuaded by everyone, Yuan Shao calmed down a little from his anger.

Seeing that his face calmed down, Feng Ji immediately made a statement: "Lord, Ji thinks what Xu Huang said is exactly the benefit of the lord."

"Hmm?" Yuan Shao waited for him with some displeasure.

"A man of such an arrogant person not only threatens me, but also dares to ask for Yanmen County. He is ignorant and shameless. If he does not kill, he will not be able to vent my hatred!"

"Not bad, this person should be killed, this person must be killed! Otherwise, the lord should be wiped out with majesty, wouldn't it be like indulging others to provoke me Jizhou?"

Xu You quietly glanced at Feng Ji, as if seeing through his intentions.

"The picture also agrees with what Xu Ziyuan said."

Guo Tu said with a helping voice.

Gao Lan stared at his clan uncle with anger and then took a step forward.

"Lord, my uncle brings such disrespectful words to Xu Huang, and his crime is unforgivable. The last general is willing to lead the army and bring Xu Huang to the two thieves to see him to redeem this sin."

He thought to himself hatefully: "Damn Xu Huang, if you really succeed, then I have finally borrowed the power of Zhang Niujiao to gain the trust of the lord. Wouldn't it be wasted? I swear to kill you!"

"Okay, Gong Yu, I will order you and Zhang Niujiao to encircle Xu Huang on both sides and kill Xu Huang."

Gao Lan was overjoyed: "Lord, the last general has another plan. Xu Huang just mentioned that he wanted to unify the Taihang Mountains. The last general thought that this plan was wonderful. After the last general and Zhang Niujiao captured the Baibo army's village, they immediately attacked and then destroyed Zhang Yan. In this way, the Heishan Army and the Baibo army had a total of 100,000 people, which could be divided into Jizhou and Zhang Niujiao for our army. Wouldn't it be just that our army's losses in this battle?"

"Okay, Gong Yu is worthy of my general of Jizhou!"

Yuan Shao was very happy and was about to give an order, but Feng Ji hurriedly stopped him.

"My lord, my subordinates think it's inappropriate. Even though Xu Huang's words are arrogant, they finally come to surrender to the lord. Not only does the lord refuse to accept it, but instead blames it for his words and sends troops to wipe it out. Who else dares to follow the lord in the future?"

Yuan Shao hesitated again: "It seems that... what Mr. said is not without reason..."

"Lord, no..."

Xu You was about to speak, but Feng Ji quickly interrupted and interrupted him.

"Lord, my subordinates thought that Bai Bo's army had only 20,000 troops, but they could defeat Zhang Yan repeatedly. In a few years, it grew to 40,000 people. They fought several times with Zhang Yan, but they were not defeated. Moreover, their troops, weapons and armor were all in place. Xu Huang led the two of them, both of whom were brave and resourceful, and they were good generals for a while. Now, although Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan have 50,000 or 60,000 troops, they should be inferior to Bai Bo's army in terms of combat power. If they could win over this person, their use would be far better than that of Zhang."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly: "Well, Xu, I have heard a lot about the matter between Qian and the two. It is said that Xu Huang had fought with Zhang Liao of Yanmen but was undefeated. Qian Zhao was even more proficient in military strategy. He practiced every day in the village and never slacked off, and was indeed a general."

Feng Ji saw that he was moved, so he quickly added a fire: "Lord, Mingjian. Xu Huang took the initiative to put forward the conditions. Although he was a bit rampant, he showed that this person's sincerity was definitely not a false or unrighteous person. Many business travelers in Jizhou also have a reputation for this matter. Yanmen is indeed rich, but in the end, it is only a corner of the northern border. Even if he is enfeoffed, what can he do? Just let him guard the northern land for the lord and guard against Xianbei and others. Isn't that great good?"

He said that Yuan Shao's eyes were shining and his beard kept twisting.

"No!"

A voice suddenly came from outside, and then he saw a man in his early twenties, strong and handsome appearance, walking in.

"Greetings to my father!"

Yuan Shao seemed very happy to see the person coming.

"It's Xiansi. Aren't you going to attack Qingzhou? Why are you back?"

This person is Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan.

His face was full of pride and he replied with his fists: "Back to my father, the child has captured the entire territory of Anle County, Qingzhou five days ago. The prince of Jinan has led his troops to surrender. Therefore, the child has come back specially and wants to report good news to his father in person!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, stood up immediately and walked to Yuan Tan.

"Okay, my son is really brave!"

Yuan Tan said, "It's just that as soon as the child arrived outside the door, he heard someone confusing the crowd. He interrupted his father's discussion and asked his father to punish him."

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "My son has made merits but no faults, so why should I punish him? But what Yuantu said is reasonable, why should my son scold him?"

When Yuan Tan heard this, he looked at Feng Ji. Although Feng Ji lowered his head, the resentment and dissatisfaction in his eyes were not hidden at all. On the contrary, when Guo Tu and Xu You saw Yuan Tan coming, their eyes were filled with surprise.
