The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83

Not only Cheng Yu but also Jia Xu started from Shouchun.

The two went east and west, one to Qingzhou and the other to Bingzhou.

During the Battle of Guandu and Cangting, Yuan Tan confronted Cao Cao's Zang Ba in Qingzhou.

Cheng Yu went to Zang Ba's army first, and then went to see Yuan Tan.

Jiang Gan, who was going to Qingzhou under Yuan Xu's order, hadn't left when Cheng Yu came again.

Yuan Tan invited brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi to the study.

The two brothers entered the room, and Xin Ping asked: "Your Master called us, is it because of Fourth Young Master?"

Yuan Tan replied: "His people haven't left yet, and Cheng Yu is here again. Who do you think I should see?"

Xin Ping asked: "My lord handed over Hebei to the fourth son, what do you think?"

Yuan Tan turned down coldly: "Father prefers him, what can I do?"

"It seems that the young master has already agreed." Xin Ping said: "It's better to tie up Cheng Yu and send him to Yecheng."

"The third younger brother was sent to the common people, but the second younger brother retained the post of governor, but his military power was taken away." Yuan Tan asked, "Do you think he will let me retain the military power?"

"The young master is different from the two of them." Xin Ping replied: "Zang Ba is occupying Qingzhou with heavy troops. If it weren't for the young master, he would have driven straight into Hebei. Could it be that the fourth young master can't see it?"

"His subordinates are able to come out in large numbers, and he can send one of his branches at will, and he can replace me." Yuan Tan shook his head.

Xin Ping's meaning was very clear, since he agreed with Yuan Xu, he captured Cheng Yu to show his favor to Yecheng.

Yuan Tan didn't want to do that.

Simpi asked, "My lord wants to take back Hebei from the fourth lord?"

"He can drive dead bodies, how can we be opponents?" Yuan Tan said annoyedly: "Even Cao Cao suffers from him again and again, let alone me?"

"Since there is no chance of winning, why not show your favor earlier?" Xin Ping said again: "The third son has a lesson from the past, so you can't be like him."

"What if he really takes away my military power, what should I do?" Yuan Tan was still worried that Yuan Xu would take away his military power.

"At least the governor of Qingzhou can be kept." Xin Ping replied: "The fate of the second son and the third son is different."

Both Xin Ping and Xin Pi tended to seek refuge with Yuan Xu.

Yuan Tan was silent for a long time, and ordered the guards: "Bring Jiang Ziyi here."

The guard invited Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan entered the door and greeted Yuan Tan and others: "When is the eldest son planning to leave?"

"Let me ask you a question." Yuan Tan asked, "If I go to Qingzhou, how will my fourth brother treat me?"

"The young master and the eldest son are the same father and compatriot, can they still harm them?" Jiang Gan asked: "Dare to ask the eldest son, what do you want?"

Yuan Tan was stopped by his question, he was taken aback for a moment and asked back: "What can he give me?"

"The eldest son has some, most likely there will be." Jiang Gan replied: "Before Yuan Gong died, he handed over Hebei to the fourth son, didn't he just want him to take good care of his brother?"

"Can you keep the military power for me?" Yuan Tan said: "After leading soldiers for so many years, the soldiers have long been accustomed to go into battle with me..."

"If Duke Yuan handed over Hebei to the eldest son, but my son has a heavy army in his hands, I don't know..." Jiang Gan didn't finish his sentence.

Yuan Tan understood what he meant: "Zi Yi go and rest first, let me think about it."

Jiang Gan resigned.

After he went out, Yuan Tan grabbed the cup on the table and threw it out.

"My lord, calm down." Xin Ping and Xin Pi persuaded.

"Did you hear what he said?" Yuan Tan pointed at the door with an angry expression on his face: "It's clear that he wants to take away my military power..."

Xin Ping and Xin Pi were not good at persuading them, so they didn't make a sound.

"Bring Cheng Yu here." Yuan Tan told the guards, "I want to hear what he can say."

"My lord wants to see Cheng Yu?" Xin Ping advised, "Once you make a choice, there is no possibility of turning back."

"I want to listen to what he has to say, and then make a fuss about it." Yuan Tan replied, "I can't see him, so I captured him and sent him to Yecheng."

The Xin brothers were speechless and could only let the guards invite Cheng Yu.

When Cheng Yu arrived, the faces of the two brothers were not good-looking.

Yuan Tan also had a gloomy face: "What is your plan when you come to see me?"

"I came to Qingzhou to bring benefits to Xiansi." Cheng Yu replied, "What plans can I have?"

"Benefits for me?" Yuan Tan sneered: "You and I have been hostile for many years, what benefits do you have for me?"

Cheng Yu replied: "Yuan Xianxin won Hebei and sent people to Qingzhou. He should have made a condition to Xiansi. If he could accept what he proposed, I would have been tied up to Yecheng by Wuhua Da at this time. So seeing me is nothing more than disappearing." retreat."

"How do you know it's not to tie you up?" Yuan Tan said, "I can ask the guards to do it right now."

Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head: "Xiansi is a sensible person, why bother talking in circles?"

"I can give you a chance to speak." Yuan Tan said: "If I don't like half of a sentence, you don't have to go out of this door again."

"I came to Qingzhou for the sake of Xiansi, and also for my lord." Cheng Yu said, "Yuan Xianxin got Hebei, can you be allowed to live in Qingzhou?"

Cheng Yu's words just confirmed Jiang Gan's statement of seizing military power.

Yuan Tan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"In the Battle of Cangting, our army was defeated." Cheng Yu said again: "My lord retreated to Huainan, and now he has no strength to take over Hebei, all he wants is to protect himself."

"Go on." Yuan Tan signaled him to continue.

Cheng Yu continued: "If Xiansi went to Yecheng, Qingzhou would definitely not be safe. My lord is by no means a match for Yuan Xianxin when he faces Yuan Xianxin alone. In the end, he is the only one who benefits."

"What do you think I should do?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Unite with my lord." Cheng Yu replied, "Xiansi sent troops from Qingzhou, and our army started from Huainan to defeat Yuan Xianxin."

"Shut up!" Xin Ping yelled, "Cao Cao has vicious intentions, do you think no one in Qingzhou can see it?"

He said to Yuan Tan: "Master, you must not trust this person. No matter how bad the fourth son is, at least he can preserve his wealth. Cao Cao's ambition is for Hebei. Once he breaks the fourth son, can Qingzhou take care of himself?"

Cheng Yu laughed out loud.

Xin Ping asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for not being able to see through." Cheng Yu said: "Our army suffered a setback in Cangting, and our strength is not as good as before. Even if we defeat Yuan Xianxin, how can we spare the strength to attack Qingzhou? I came to see Xiansi for the purpose of protecting myself. Why? Accused of plotting against Qingzhou?"

Xin Ping was speechless by his question.

Simpi sneered: "What you said seems to make sense. When we marched into Yecheng, wouldn't our army be attrition? Wouldn't our army be attenuated?"

"Since it's a battle, of course there will be losses." Cheng Yu replied: "Don't forget, if Yuan Xianxin is destroyed, Hebei is Xiansi. Sitting in Hebei, why should you still be afraid of my lord?"

Xin Ping and Xin Pi were about to argue, when Yuan Tan said, "I've made up my mind, drive Jiang Gan away, and send troops to Yecheng on a certain day!"

Yuan Tan made a decision, Xin Ping and Xin Pi knew it was useless to persuade them, so they could only agree.
