Seeing Liu Biao fussing, Yuan Tan and others were a little disdainful. Only Zhang Chao knew it well and knew that his goal had been achieved. He endured the pride in his heart, patted his stomach, and looked surprised. "Jing Sheng knew this knife?"

Liu Biao didn't care about Zhang Chao's jokes, pulled Yuan Tan's sleeve, and his fingers holding the knife quietly tapped the part of the knife. Yuan Tan glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly shrank. There was an inscription in the knife, which was very simple, but the meaning was very profound, even serious.

Nanyang, this knife comes from Nanyang!

Xinpi sent news to Yecheng every few days. Yuan Tan had the opportunity to come into contact with it. He knew that Nanyang Iron Official was a mysterious place. Xinpi had spent a lot of effort but could not learn more. He only knew that Nanyang Iron Official was hosted by Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan. He had made some breakthroughs in iron smelting technology recently. The army under Sun Ce was gradually changing clothes.

Zhang Miao and Sun Ce have a deal!

Yuan Tan was shocked and frightened, and was still a little nervous. He thought that as long as he lowered his posture and came to Chenliu to pay his respects, satisfying Zhang Miao's vanity, Zhang Miao would repay him and support him strongly. Unexpectedly, it was a result. Zhang Miao not only did not intend to support him, but even did not hesitate to make a deal with Sun Ce, which meant to be defeated by the death.

What happened that made Zhang Miao so decisive?

No matter what, Chen Liu is not safe and must leave as soon as possible. Chi will change. Yuan Tan looked at Zhang Chao and said, "It seems that I came here unfortunately. I wonder when Zhang Fujun will come back?"

"It shouldn't be too late." Zhang Chao saw Yuan Tan's uneasiness and knew that his purpose had been achieved. "My brother left in a hurry and was too late to notify the envoy. Please wait for a few days. After the envoy, he will come back and apologize to the envoy in person."

"Zhang Junyan is so heavy." Yuan Tan shook his head politely. "The black mountain bandits are attacking Dongjun. I want to rush to Puyang immediately and organize a counterattack with Zhu Ling. Zhang Jun, I first came to Guizhou, and Xian Kunzhong was in good terms with my father again. Please ask Xian Kunzhong to do this south."

"Please rest assured that if my brother is here for a while, he will keep Chen Liu." Zhang Chao bowed his hand and was passionate.

——

Yuan Tan came in excitement and returned in disappointment, with a very ugly expression. He quickly turned around and walked quickly. It was not until he crossed the Ji River and entered Pingqiu County that he breathed a sigh of relief and summoned Liu Biao, Bian Rang and others to discuss matters.

Liu Biao and Bian Rang were also a little confused. They could not understand the thinking of Zhang Miao brothers. Zhang Miao was Yuan Shao's confidant. He rescued the party members with Yuan Shao and contributed money and efforts. When he was trying to challenge Dong, his brothers were busy organizing. Zang Hong, who was in charge of the Sour Jujube Alliance, brought by Zhang Chao from Guangling. Most of the food of the army was provided by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Why did Zhang Miao's attitude suddenly change so much that he even colluded with Sun Ce?

"Is there any misunderstanding in the middle...?" While looking at Yuan Tan, his eyebrows frowned. Sun Ce was notorious. If Zhang Miao was really forced to Sun Ce's side, Chen Liu might be in trouble. He is a Chen Liu native and must be taken seriously.

Yuan Tan shook his head with a wry smile. "Mr. Bian, I am as confused as you."

Liu Biao thought about it and signaled that he would not say anything more. He understood how worried he was, but he also knew that he had been too worried. "Wen Li, even if Zhang Mengzhuo bought Nanyang's weapons, he might not be colluding with Sun Ce, otherwise we would not be able to sit here at this moment."

Bian Rang said angrily: "Jingsheng, can Sun Ce sell such a powerful weapon to Zhang Mengzhuo?"

"Why can't it?" Liu Biao asked back: "Even if this knife is sharper and tougher than an ordinary knife, it is just a knife. Only those who are virtuous are in the world, and how can one be powerful be in the world?"

Bian Rang retorted. "You have lost Xiangyang, is it because your virtue is not as good as Sun Ce?"

Liu Biao was angry and embarrassed. His white face turned purple. He rose up, shook his sleeves, and sneered: "What Guo Linzong said is not bad, today is a witness." After saying that, he left, leaving Yuan Tan, Bian Let others in the tent.

Yuan Tan was very embarrassed, but Bian Jie was so angry that his face turned pale. Liu Biao's words sounded like a dead end, but they were the most ruthless humiliation to him. He once visited Guo Linzong with Xie Zhen, a famous scholar in Runan. He thought that young talents and famous were reasonable, and it was reasonable to get a good comment from Guo Linzong, and then he could become famous all over the world. Unexpectedly, Guo Linzong was not optimistic about them and had a cold attitude. Later, news came out that Guo Linzong told his disciples that he had talent with Xie Zhen, but he did not enter the Tao and had limited achievements.

This is almost a lifelong regret. Now that Liu Biao is disobediently, he can't stand it. He has lost his demeanor of any celebrity.

"Meng Mingshi is just a tyrant Qin martial artist. He can still fight again and again after defeat. Liu Jingsheng ranked eight-handed, is he inferior to Meng Mingshi?"

Yuan Tan coughed and quickly dissuaded. These two people were famous men he invited, and they were right-hand men. Now they turned against each other for a small matter and retorted each other, which was really a shame. Bian Rang was angry and thought that Yuan Tan favored Liu Biao, and he was so angry that he left.

The atmosphere in the big tent was even more awkward. Yuan Tan was also very angry, but he couldn't have an attack. He had to squeeze out a smile and said to Wang Yu, "What can I teach me if I don't know?"

Wang Yu stroked his beard, thought for a while, and bowed and said, "Eunuch, Yu is stupid and has no choice. However, Yu can recommend one person, which may help you."

"Don't tell me."

"If Cheng Yu, a despised county, can make a big decision. If the envoy can respect him, it will definitely be beneficial."

Yuan Tan thought for a while. "Is it Cheng Yu who persuaded Liu Envoy to break up with Gongsun Zan?"

“That’s right.”

"That's great, where is he?"

“In Dong’a.”

Yuan Tan was a little disappointed. "Far away water can't quench your near thirst. Who else has a plan? Please speak freely."

At this time, a person stood up in the corner and bowed to Yuan Tan. "I, Pingqiu Ling Xiao Ran, also has someone to recommend."

Yuan Tan quickly stood up and greeted Xiao Ran. "Please talk to Xiao Ling."

Xiao Ran walked out and came to Yuan Tan. He was Pingqiu Ling and came to welcome Yuan Tan, but he had a weak reputation and poor identity. He did not dare to sit with Bian Rang, and other famous scholars such as Liu Biao could only sit in the corner. At this moment, he seized the opportunity and naturally wanted Yuan Tan to see it clearly.

"There is a scholar in Bi County, whose surname is Mao Rujie and whose courtesy name is Xiaoxian. He is not only honest and fair, but also has a broad mind, which can help the envoy plan."

Wang Yu was a little unhappy and drooped his eyelids. He was a bachelor of the state and an important assistant to Yuan Tan. It was his duty to recommend talents to Yuan Tan. What is Xiao Ran's origin? He even wanted to grab a pill. "Mao Jie? Why haven't I heard of this name? Where is he now and where is his official position?"

Xiao Ran knew that Wang Yu was unhappy, so he quickly turned around and saluted Wang Yu. "Go back to the farewell, Mao Jie is outside the camp. He is the county magistrate of this county."

"The Ming court can use a scholar as the chief, which shows that the Ming court has won the hearts of the people of Pingqiu." Wang Yu laughed unabashedly: "I failed to recommend it to the envoy in time. I am very dereliction of duty."
