Han Dao world

Chapter 546 Unspoken
With hands behind his back, Yuan Tan paced back and forth in the tent like a trapped animal.

Guo Tu arched his hands, stood aside, lowered his eyebrows, but his eyelids twitched from time to time, showing that he was not calm.

"Sir, what should we do?" Yuan Tan suddenly stopped and stood in front of Guo Tu, his fair face turned blue and red.

He had been in a bad mood these past few days, and was stimulated by the news of Tian Chou's visit to Liu He. He became anxious and lost his composure.Even Guo Tu, who respected him the most, lost his respectful tone in the past.

"Xiansi, don't be impatient." Guo Tu opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Tan with some disappointment. "You haven't reached the end of the road, no matter how bad you are, you can still save your life, and you won't go to the point where everything is destroyed. If you lose your composure, won't you let the lord down?"

Yuan Tan's eyes flickered. "Is it really not possible to burn jade and stone together?"

Guo Tu nodded solemnly. "I promise you that."

Yuan Tan stared at Guo Tu for a while, then turned around and returned to the case, lifted the jug, poured a glass of wine, and put both hands in front of Guo Tu. "Sir, my life and death are all entrusted to you."

Guo Tu looked at the wine glass in front of him, hesitated for a moment, took it, and drank it down.

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly relaxed.

With Guo Tu's promise, his safety is basically guaranteed.Regardless of whether Yuan Shao succeeds in the end, the Ruying people will not be wiped out.Xun You is just outside Juyong Pass, and has cavalry from three counties under his command, ready to enter at any time.

No matter how strong the Jizhou people are, they will not dare to act rashly for the time being and kill all the Ruying people.

In order to quickly defeat Yi Jing, Yuan Shao made major concessions to the people of Jizhou. One of the important measures was to marry Yuan Tan's younger brother, Yuan Xi, to marry the daughter of Zhongshan's Wuji Zhen family.

This also means that Yuan Tan's younger brother, Yuan Shang, who was originally worried about, is no longer a threat, but his second younger brother, Yuan Xi, who was originally not a threat, has become a huge threat.After all, Yuan Shang is not yet an adult, but Yuan Xi is an adult, and he has fought with Yuan Shao for many years, and his actual combat experience is not weaker than him.

It was Yuan Tan's mission to defeat Gongsun Zan and control Youzhou, but now he has to watch Yuan Xi make contributions.

Once the marriage with the Zhen family is successful, the Northern Hebei people will regard Yuan Xi as their spokesperson, and do everything possible to support him in the war and meritorious deeds, laying the foundation for future heirs.His eldest son became the biggest obstacle to Yuan Xi's succession.

Recently, I have heard rumors that the life of Zhen's daughter is unspeakable.

Needless to say, this must be the people in northern Hebei creating public opinion.

"Xiansi, you are too impatient." After drinking, Guo Tu couldn't help but criticize Yuan Tan. "At the moment, we are just proposing a marriage, not to mention whether the Zhen family will agree or not. Even if they agree, it is unlikely that they will get married immediately. Don't forget, the daughter of the Zhen family is only fifteen years old. After entering the door, she must It takes a few years to give birth."

"Yes, yes." Yuan Tan smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had indeed lost his composure. "What about Tian Chou?"

Guo Tu mumbled his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.

Tian Chou, who lives in seclusion in Xu Wushan, suddenly came out of the mountain, which has already made people suspicious, but now he suddenly came to visit Liu He. If it was a coincidence, no one would believe it.Guo Tu guessed that it was probably the news of the emperor Xiu Tuze's great victory that reached Youzhou.

Tian Chou went to Chang'an under Liu Yu's order, met the emperor, was worshiped as a riding captain, and was scrambled to be expelled by the three prefectures, but he refused.This is a person who regards fame as profit, and there may only be one who suddenly takes active action. He doesn't want to see Youzhou occupied by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had courted Tian Chou many times, but Tian Chou refused them all.

When Tian Chou went to see Liu He at this time, it was most likely to persuade Liu He to become a minister to the court.

If this news reached Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao would definitely be furious, maybe he would kill Liu He, and Yuan Tan who was ordered to fight with Liu He would also be punished for his lack of supervision.

For Yuan Tan, who is in a difficult situation, this is undoubtedly worse.

Because of Qu Yi's going back to Xiliang, Yuan Tan has already been recruited by Yuan Shao to reprimand him.

But it won't work to arrest Tian Chou.Tian Chou will not bow his head, but the people of Youzhou may tear themselves apart with Yuan Shao.

Just when Guo Tu was at a loss, someone came to report, and Tian Chou came to see him.

Guo Tu and Yuan Tan were both stunned, looking at each other in blank dismay.They were thinking about what reason to keep Tian Chou, but they didn't expect Tian Chou to throw himself into the trap.The two discussed for a while, and decided to play it by ear, see what Tian Chou wanted to say, and then decide whether to treat each other with courtesy or to detain him forcibly.

After a while, Tian Chou came and greeted Yuan Tan and Guo Tu.

"When did Zitai leave the mountain?" Yuan Tan pretended to be relaxed. "Could it be that you have some experience and want to discuss it with others?"

Tian Chou said with a smile: "I got nothing, but I heard some news. I don't know if it's true or not, so I asked about it."

"what news?"

"The news that the Son of Heaven defeated Xianbei in Xiu Tu Ze, is it true or not?"

Yuan Tan and Guo Tu glanced at each other and smiled in unison.

Guo Tu said: "We have heard it too, but we also don't know whether it is true or not. According to our guess, there may be some fighting. It is hard to say whether there are [-] Xianbei people in the west. As for the complete annihilation of the Xianbei people, they killed The three generals must be nonsense. Zitai, do you believe it?"

"My opinion is similar to Mr. Guo's, but it's spread so widely that people don't believe it. I also heard that Xun You is going to use troops against the Xianbei in the east and ask the Wuhuan people to show their attitude, otherwise they will attack together with the Xianbei people. Listen to this, It doesn’t seem like it’s all exaggeration.”

"Is there such a thing?" Guo Tu was startled, and his face changed at that moment.

Yuan Tan was also stunned, his face pale.

Xun You wants to use troops against Xianbei and Wuhuan?The Xianbei people were ordered by Yuan Shao to restrain Xun You, while the Wuhuan people cooperated with Yuan Shao and Liu He to attack Gongsun Zan.If Xun You sent troops and defeated the Xianbei people, then Xun You might send troops into the fortress, posing a major threat to Yuan Jun who was attacking Gongsun Zan.

Don't say that Xianbei people are strong, Xun You may not be an opponent.They all knew who Xun You was.If he is not more than [-]% sure, he will not take the initiative to attack.

Danhan Mountain's achievements are in the forefront, and the imperial court's reward has not been issued for a long time. It is obvious that the master has made great achievements.

"Zitai, who did you listen to?" Guo Tu asked.

"You don't know?" Tian Chou was surprised.

"Uh...Of course I know." Guo Tu concealed, trying not to look so surprised. "It's just that I didn't expect the news to spread so widely that even you knew about it."

"Then have you verified whether the news is accurate?" Tian Chou said: "If Xun You really sends troops to Xianbei in the east, Xu Wushan is a must pass. I am worried that it will be affected, and I need to strengthen my defenses as soon as possible."

"This..." Guo Tu didn't know what to say.

He knew why Tian Chou came to him, he must have thought that there was a connection between him and Xun You - there must be a connection, but it would not be so direct, and even if there was, Tian Chou couldn't let Tian Chou know.What everyone has tacitly said cannot be so clearly stated, otherwise Yuan Shao would not be able to explain to the people of Jizhou.

What's more, he really didn't know that Xun You was going to send troops to attack Xianbei in the east.

Guo Turing had an idea. "Is that why Zitai came here?"

"Ah."

"Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to help." Guo Tu said, "You'd better go and inquire elsewhere, don't delay."

Tian Chou sighed and got up to say goodbye.
