Yuan Shang stared at Gao Lan, and the two of them had their eyes in the air.

"General Gao valued that Niu Ke, and decided that he was the only candidate for the Lord of Taihang Mountain?"

"Yes. Among the three major forces in Taihang Mountains, only Zhang Niujiao has the longest qualification. Whether it is the environment in the mountains or the prestige among the bandits, they are not comparable to the other two. On that day, he and Guan Yu saved Gao, which shows that he is brave and resourceful, and acts decisively. How could Xu Huang, a young junior? Zhang Yan's Heishan army is mostly Zhang Niujiao's old subordinates. As long as he contacts a little, he secretly connects and destroys Baibo's army, it is not difficult. Maybe he has already attacked the Baibo army camp now."

"You..." Yuan Shang was very angry, but he couldn't think of anything to refute him. He was speechless for a moment, which made Gao Lan very proud.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over.

"Report to the lord, a person outside the mansion asked for a visit, claiming to be an envoy from Taihang Mountain, to give gifts to the lord."

Gao Lan became more and more proud when she heard this: "No need to say it, it must be Zhang Niujiao. Zhang Yan is just a reckless man, and Xu Huang often sends people to come, and they only know how to ask for things and have never given any gifts. It seems that Zhang Niujiao is a bit polite, not like those wild people. Ah, maybe this gift is the head of Xu Huang and Qianzhao."

Yuan Shang looked at his face and was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry.

Yuan Shao listened to his words: "Well, Gong Yu said it well. I think only Zhang Niujiao has such etiquette among the three of them. Since he has come, let him in."

"Father, this..." Yuan Shang also thought that Zhang Niujiao sent someone to show his concern, and wanted to persuade Yuan Shao to drive the other party out.

"Hey, it's not a big deal for people to blame. If the other party comes with sincerity and refuses it, wouldn't it be a loss of the style of a wealthy family?"

Seeing that his father had already made up his mind, Yuan Shang had to give up. Gao Lan, who was beside him, was extremely proud.

After a while, the guards in the mansion walked in with a very strong man. The man was carrying a cloth bag on the left and right. The things in the cloth bag were obviously square, and they squeezed out four sharp corners.

"Liar Wang Yan, please pay more respects to General Yuan! May the general be blessed with great fortune and achieve great achievements as soon as possible."

When Yuan Shao saw this person's appearance, square face and curly beard, Kong Wu was powerful, and his voice was also very loud. Especially when this sentence was said so appropriately, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Please get up with a hero. I think the hero looks like this. I guess he has a good status in the Taihang Mountains, right?"

Wang Yan stood up and said respectfully: "I have asked the general for his blessing. Many villains have made contributions and have become a military marquis. My general said that when I came to Jizhou this time, I had a big deal and I should have come to visit him in person. However, the war was over and the military affairs were busy and I couldn't get rid of it for a while. These two gifts were not delayed, so I sent villains here. I would like to ask the general to forgive me."

"Oh? Your army has a big battle again recently. Looking at the hero's expression and tone, I think it's a great victory. Yuan is here to congratulate him. I don't know if this gift is..."

Yuan Shao stared at the two cloth bags.

Yuan Shang was so eye-catching that he looked at these two bags: "What good things can Zhang Niujiao have when he waits for fools?"

"Hey, why should the third young master be anxious to make a conclusion? Since Zhang Niujiao has just won a big victory, he must have seized the most exquisite thing in the spoils and presented it to his lord. It is rare that he can still think of the benefits of Jizhou in this way after the big victory. It is considered to be intentional."

After hearing what he said, Yuan Shao's face became very kind.

"Person Zhang is worried about it. This hero comes from afar. Shang'er, go and take the gift, and then take the hero down to have a banquet."

"Father, boy..." Yuan Shang was very reluctant.

"Hey, the third son, the other party comes with sincerity. My Jizhou is in the Central Plains, so I should have some recitation. Is the third son unwilling to do it?"

Gao Lan took the opportunity to mock Yuan Shang, and he was extremely proud.

However, at this time, Wang Yan suddenly said something, which made Gao Lan no longer laugh.

"What is this general talking about? Zhang Niujiao? The villain is not Zhang Niujiao's subordinate."

The three of them were stunned. Gao Lan asked hurriedly: "Why? Didn't Zhang Niujiao send you to give gifts? Could it be...Is it Zhang Yan? Yes, he has cooperated with our army many times, and I think he has tasted the sweetness. It has been almost a year since our army cooperated with him to capture Taiyuan last time. I think it's not easy now, and I want to please my lord? Humph, a snob."

Wang Yan shook his head again: "Yes, Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan are both dead now. How could I be his subordinates?"

His words were like a huge rock that smashed into the lake, causing a stir.

"Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan died?"

Wang Yan nodded solemnly: "The villain dare not deceive. My general is Xu Huang, who led two people. Two days ago, the two generals attacked separately and had captured the two hamlets where they were located, beheading the two people and returned. The tens of thousands of soldiers and more than 100,000 families in the two hamlets have all belonged to our Baibo army. The two generals were busy with the aftermath. They remembered the agreement with the three sons of General Yuan's family that day, so they sent the villain to come, one to give gifts, and the other to express our army's intention to keep the alliance."

"Okay, very well done, I deserve to be the one my father valued at the time."

Yuan Shang was very proud and gave Gao Lan a provocative look.

Gao Lan seemed to feel a sense of qi stagnation in his heart, and he almost couldn't breathe for a moment.

"How could it be...how could it be like this? You must be lying to us. Although the Bai Bo army has extraordinary combat power, it is impossible to attack and wipe out the two major villages at the same time. Yes, it must be Xu Huang who saw that the mountain was about to be closed with heavy snow. Anyway, it is difficult for us to enter the mountain to investigate carefully, so he came to coax my lord to defraud supplies, right?"

After he said this, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly darkened: "My things in Jizhou are not that easy to take. At the beginning, it was agreed that if Xu Huang could unify the Taihang Mountains, I would have to provide supplies, but now he suddenly came to report that the two were dead. How to prove it?"

Gao Lan said fiercely: "If it cannot be proved, today I will teach you that there will be no place to die, and the agreement with Xu Huang will be given up!"

"How can this be done? How can such a big deal be made so hasty?" Yuan Shang became anxious.

"How can't it be? Xu, the two of them dared to deceive the lord, which is a ulterior motive. How can such a person with a corrupt character be an ally?"

The two were arguing, and Wang Yan said, "This general, please keep your word. Since my general sent a villain here, he can prove what the villain said is true. You are so sceptical about my Baibo army without any discrimination. Yuan Gong of Jizhou has been famous for a long time. Could it be that all the people under his tent are deceived and robbed? "

"You little bandit, how dare you..."

"Okay, it's so noisy for the guests to be so noisy? I won't retreat yet!"

Yuan Shao was obviously a little angry. Even though Gao Lan was very unhappy, he could only obey orders and retreat.

Yuan Shao looked at Wang Yan with a dark face: "Since the hero said that he could prove that the two Zhangs were dead, please prove one or two to Yuan."

Wang Yan said: "When I came in the next beginning, I had to explain this matter, but this general kept talking nonsense, which made me mislead the matter. Since Mr. Yuan asked, I will present it to you."

Listening to this man being so daring to humiliate himself, Gao Lan was angry, but he could only swallow his anger.

Wang Yan carried the two cloth bags and handed them out respectfully.

"The two heads are in it. When Mr. Yuan looked at it, he knew whether what he said below was true or false."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was excited: "Oh? Hurry, Shang'er, go and take it."

Yuan Shang was in a good mood at this time, and he felt that he had never been as happy as he had ever remembered. He had made his steps much lighter, quickly stepped forward, took two cloth bags, and placed them on the table in front of Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao personally opened the cloth bag, revealing the two wooden boxes wrapped inside. He couldn't wait to open the wooden boxes, and indeed saw two heads with disheveled hair being put inside.

"Come on, you two will identify them together. Is this really the head of his two?"

Yuan Shao waved to Yuan Shang and Gao Lan, and they walked forward and lifted the hair on the head.

"Yes... it's them both right..."

Gao Lan said this sentence with great difficulty. Just a few words almost exhausted all his strength now. He knew that once Zhang Niujiao died, his many plans in the future would go bankrupt. Now Qingzhou and Youzhou have other generals responsible for the strategy. If he wants to obtain credit and improve his status, he can only deal with Liu He, Bingzhou. However, if Zhang Niujiao dies, it is difficult to break Bingzhou by himself.

Seeing that they had confirmed it, Wang Yan spoke again: "Duke Yuan, my general is now the lord of Taihang Mountain. I wonder if you should also fulfill the agreement on that day?"

"Of course, this is certainly. Yuan thought that Xu and the two generals were already very strong. Today, he realized that he had still underestimated your army before. With such allies to help me, why worry about the plan in Jizhou? Shang'er..."

Yuan Shao called him and Yuan Shang immediately stood up.

"The child is here, what are the father's instructions?"

"You can take this hero down to rest and reward, and then prepare the materials you agreed upon on that day, and take them up the mountain with this hero while they are sunny these days, and then discuss with the two generals about attacking Bingzhou after the beginning of spring."

Yuan Shang was overjoyed: "The child obeys the order and will definitely live up to his father's trust!"

Yuan Shao stood up, walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "My son has a unique vision. If you hadn't been resistant to the public and supported Xu Huang, you might have misunderstood for your father. It seems that Shang'er has really grown up. Next year, I will send troops in Jizhou to jointly guide Bingzhou with Xu Huang, and allow you to join the army to join the war for your father. In addition, you will be fully responsible for your contact with Bai Bo's army in the future."

His words made Yuan Shang ecstatic, while Gao Lan's face turned extremely dark.
