Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 236 Zhen’s Grain Team
  "Yuan Tan, don't try to trick me. If you want to teach me that it's the child you just found, I won't be able to talk to you so easily!"

"Don't worry, Lord Champion. After I have confirmed it again and again, there is no doubt that the child you are looking for is this child. In order to express peace and harmony between the two states, after the monarch returns, I will send another 10,000 stones of grain and grass to provide for the needs of Bingzhou." Yuan Tan kept his posture very low.

He was really scared and just hoped to get some benefits and tell Zhang Wu to get out of here.

As for the face that the old Yuan family values, don’t be ridiculous!
  Is it necessary to compare which is more important, life or face?
  Anyone who can dare to argue with Zhang Wu after seeing Zhang Wu's inhuman actions would be insane.

Zhang Wu nodded with satisfaction. He expected that Yuan Tan was too scared to lie to him.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the child and took a look. He was white, fat and cute.

It is a blessing to be able to sleep so comfortably in front of the three armies.

Come to think of it, since Du was so favored, even if Cao Cao couldn't raise her and Qin Yilu's son as his own, it was inevitable that he would take him with him to give him some advice.

For a character like Boss Cao, even if a pig stays by his side since childhood, he can become a spirit when he grows up.

"This can be regarded as a complete fulfillment of the promise made that day."

It is indeed child's play to work hard for a child.

But for now, just wasting some marching food and grass can make Boss Cao's back house peaceful, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhang Wu is Cao Cao's son-in-law, and he is not a direct minister who dares to give advice.

He has set his position very correctly, and his close ministers are his close ministers. All he needs is a clear emotional bias.

No lord would want to be surrounded by unreasonable ministers who only know the pros and cons. That would be too lonely.

On the other side, Fei Xiong looked at the horse and ran quickly, found Lu Bu's side and whispered something.

After hearing this, Lu Bu rode forward, stopped beside Zhang Wu, and whispered:
  "Zi Qian. The scouts came to report that twenty miles east of here, there is a grain team escorted by more than a hundred soldiers. The grain trucks are carrying merchant flags with the word 'Zhen'. The soldiers are holding high the flags with the pattern of 'Chun Yu'."

Roar?
  Is this an unexpected surprise?

There is only one Zhen family in Hebei, which is the family of Zhen Mi who will be written in the Luo Shen Fu written by Cao Zhi in the future.

Zhang Wu is still very interested in this family.

In terms of time, although Zhen Mi is young, she is eight or nine years old. Zhang Wu's family can take care of a one or two-year-old girl, let alone a half-year-old girl.

Regardless of Zhen Mi, the Zhen family is the largest grain merchant in Hebei.

However, their vision in selecting people to join them is obviously not very good.

Any aristocratic family in the north with a little bit of brains can see that the ultimate overlord of the north must be Cao Cao.

But there are some people who do not believe in evil and insist on superstitious belief in the four generations and three princes of the old Yuan family, and their disciples and old officials rule the world.

I don’t know what these wealthy families think. Do they really think that today’s troubled times are still the era when those who win the family win the world?
  Now, the one with the strongest military force is the uncle!

Zhang Wu handed the child to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong is calm and mature, not as fussy as Lu Bu, so it feels safe to leave Du's children under his care.

Then he shouted to Yuan Tan at the top of the city: "I appreciate the kindness, but I don't need this food and grass. I have a problem. When I want something, I don't wait for others to deliver it. We have the hands and feet." Yes, you can go get it yourself."

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, regardless of Yuan Tan's expression, he pulled the horse's rein and Chi Ji turned around and headed east.

Huang and Lu Er will follow closely.

Finally, there are the cavalry and pawns lined up. Without any chaos at all, they reorganized from the long formation into the cone formation in an orderly manner, and followed Zhang Wu eastward.

"Eldest Young Master, Zhang..." The confidant swallowed hard and shuddered. He didn't dare to call Zhang Wu by his first name, and said again: "The champion Hou's team went east, obviously not the route to turn back to Bingzhou. "

Yuan Tan looked back and saw that Xin Ping had ascended to the top of the city at some unknown time. Then he took a breath and murmured: "To the east? Why are you going to the east?"

"No, eldest son! Chunyu Qiong was ordered to collect grain half a month ago. With the speed of the Zhen family's grain collection in Hebei, it should be here in these two days. Now the champion Hou Xiangdong must have received a scout's summons and wanted to rob the Zhen family's grain team, but Chun Yuqiong With only a hundred soldiers under his command, how can he be the opponent of the champion?"

Yuan Tan glanced at the half-suspended suspension bridge dangling in the air, gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, let him go. I just hope that he will return west as soon as he gets the food and grass!"

Isn't Chunyu Qiong, who has more than a hundred people, Zhang Wu's opponent?

This sounds like a joke to Yuan Tan. Even if all Yecheng's troops are handed over to Chunyu Qiong's command, will he be able to stop Zhang Wu's troops?

Yuan Tan actually didn't care too much about Zhen's grain team.

A family that built its business on business will be gone if it is gone.

There are many wealthy families in Hebei, and if one of the Zhen family is missing, there will naturally be other flatterers willing to stick around.

This is the arrogance of the Yuan family, and it is also the confidence of the Yuan family to dominate Hebei.

"Go, take control of Xu You's family, and send someone to deliver a message to Youbeiping to explain to father the current situation in Yecheng."

Xin Ping frowned and said, "Master, how should I write a letter?"

Yuan Tan was disgraceful in Yecheng. If he writes about it in detail, Yuan Shao will inevitably be displeased.

Yuan Tan was open-minded and waved his hand indifferently: "To be honest, if I said that I blocked Zhang Wu Bingfeng by myself, my father would not believe it, but this was all caused by Xu You's own cleverness, so I can't be blamed. Go up. According to this calculation, I only sacrificed the Zhen's grain team to preserve the foundation of Yecheng. Not only is there no fault, but I have merit."

"promise."

When Xin Ping walked away, Yuan Tan's eyes showed a cold light.

Xu You was greedy by nature and thought he was a little smart. He spent many years as a wall between the three Yuan brothers.

The benefits have been received by people of all ages, but few practical things have been accomplished.

Yuan Tan had long wanted to get rid of him quickly.

He also knew that it was not just him who wanted Xu You dead, but his father Yuan Shao also had murderous intentions towards Xu You time and time again.

This is it now.

Not only can Xu You be used as a scapegoat, but also Yuan Shao's bad breath can be vented, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
  It is certain that Xu You's crime will not lead to death.

But Yuan Tan knew his father too well. For Yuan Shao, whose face was more important than anything else, he only needed an insignificant reason to end Xu You in a place of eternal destruction.

Who told Xu You, an old boy, to seek his own death? He thought his savior was meritorious, so he held on to his father's painful foot every day.

If you seek death, who can you blame?

After doing all this, Yuan Tan realized that his whole body was wet with cold sweat and his legs were too weak to stand.

He smiled bitterly and slowly walked down the city while holding on to the wall.
