~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuan Xi asked for a title, what kind of title? To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao wanted to "dividend the family property" with a legitimate statement.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already occupied the entire Jizhou area, as well as most of the three prefectures of You and Qing, so he divided his sons into possession of various sons. He gave his eldest son Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou, his second son Yuan Xi as the governor of Youzhou, and his nephew Gao Gan as the governor of Bingzhou. As for Jizhou, he would leave it to his favorite youngest son Yuan Shang.

At that time, the states and counties in the world were divided, and only those with strong strength supported it. Some of these pastors or guards of one county were formally appointed by the court and had formal official responsibilities. Most of them were "self-controlled", which means that they were not within the central organization and were not recognized by the court.

Yuan Shao believed that he was the best prince and general in the world, so he naturally could not follow those kings in everything and had to follow the rules. All his rewards, especially those of his sons, must be issued a regular edict by the court and given silver seals and ribbons. This is the only way to be legitimate.

Yuan Tan, a high-ranking official, has been serving as the governor for a long time, and he did "self-control" earlier. However, in the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao was already promoted when he was awarded the title of General. Only Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, was newly granted, so this imperial edict must be included, and Yuan Shao also let Yuan Xi go to Luoyang to receive gratitude.

The strong signal sent by Yuan Shao. Anyone can feel it - Yanzhou, Yuzhou is included in the bag, and Luoyang is the back garden of his Yuan family. What's wrong with letting his son go to his own garden?

Of course. At this critical moment of the Yuan-Cao battle, Yuan Xi's trip was not just as simple as asking for a title and "stouring the back garden". He also had another secret mission, otherwise he would not have brought two senior staff members of the Jizhou Group to come.

Xu You originally followed Yuan Shao to fight against Yanzhou, while Xin Ping stayed in Yecheng. However, since Yuan Cao became a stalemate, the role of this strategist has become much smaller. Even so, Xu You and Xin Ping's trip were definitely not because Yuan Shao felt that they were idle and sent their companions to Luo at will, but asked them to assist Yuan Xi and complete a major event.

There are two important reasons why Yuan Shao chose Xu You and Xin Ping: First, these two are both Yingchuan factions, and the other are from Yangdi clan in Yingchuan, who have close relationships with the Xun clan in Yingchuan; the other is from Nanyang clan, who has many old friends with ministers in the court. Second, these two are quite famous among the people in the court and scholars, and can make good use of the old relationships to lay a solid foundation in advance.

In addition to the two senior officials, Yuan Xi only brought a team of cavalry guards. He was led by the cavalry commander Zhang Nan. However, there were more than a hundred servants who drove cattle and drove carts and transported tribute gifts. With Yuan Shao's power at this time, Yuan Xi did not need too many people to guard when he was on an envoy. Instead, Ma Han had to ensure his safety.

A strong foreign diplomacy, like a major power diplomacy, means full of confidence.

Within three days after Yuan Xi arrived in Luoyang, he did not leave his house and did not receive any visitors. On the fourth day, he took a bath, changed his clothes, froze incense, and wore a lotus, and under the guidance of the envoy sent by the palace, he brought a group of followers to Chongde Hall to meet the emperor.

Yuan Xi was short-lived and came from a family. He was a talented man, elegant and well-written. Especially before the meeting, he showed respect that court officials praised them, and the emperor also admired them very much, saying: "I am young, and you are young and strong, and the king and ministers are suitable for each other, which is very comforting."

He then gave him a silver seal and a green ribbon, a jade belt, a green robe, ten pairs of copper wine utensils, and twenty kilograms of deer jelly.

After the interview, Yuan Xi, Xin Ping and Xu You all went out to go out of their residence and went to the guild to serve as generals, and each showed their means.

These three people have their own energy, and Yuan Xi's identity is there, and no one dares to neglect it. Xin Ping is a famous scholar in Yingchuan, with many party members in the court. Even Guo Jia, the chief secretary of the General's Office, and Xun You, who was recently famous, were friends of the generals. Xin Ping's ancestors moved east from Longxi, and in detail, they were considered half of the people of Xiliang. This is because he had a natural basis for dating with powerful ministers in the court, Jia Xu, and some generals in Guanxi.

As for Xu You, his biggest advantage is that he is old enough and has a lot of courage. You can tell this by looking at his review.

When Xu You was young, he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and was a son of a nobleman.

During the Zhongping period, Xu You, the governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen, the prime minister of Pei State, and Zhou Jing, and others joined forces with heroes to abolish Emperor Ling of Han and change the Marquis of Hefei as emperor. He also tried to persuade Cao Cao to participate together, but Cao Cao refused. Wang Fen wanted to send troops on the grounds of preventing black bandits during the northern tour of Emperor Ling of Han to raise troops in order to raise an uprising. But in the end, Emperor Ling of Han took the troops to stop and summoned him to the court. Wang Fen committed suicide because he was afraid that the incident would be leaked, and Xu You and others fled.

Even the emperor dared to abolish it, and Xu You was brave enough. Of course, this matter is still a unsolved case at the moment, otherwise Xu You would have fallen into Luoyang and would have fallen into the trap.

The three people in Hebei were in Luoyang like fish in water. During their roaming and circling, Ma Han was in charge of Hulao Pass, closely following the Guandu battlefield and deducing the battle situation with the dragon and wolf generals all day long. When he learned that Yuan Shao's envoy entered Luo, Ma Han threw the villain into the sand table and smiled slightly: "It's true that's coming, it's like what the Hebei emperors did."

Why did Yuan Shao launch the Battle of Guandu? Of course, it was to unify the Central Plains. Fighting Cao Cao was just a means, and entering Luoyang was the ultimate goal. Since you had this plan, you naturally had to work together, one was hard and the other was soft, conquering by force and mediating diplomatic manners. This was what a qualified Hebei think tank was doing.

In fact, according to Yuan Shao's idea, he had to wait for Cao Cao to be wiped out like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and then sent envoys to Luoyang, so that he could win the lead and defeat the soldiers without fighting. Unfortunately, his own soldiers were not successful and turned a battle that should have been a straightforward and neat crushing into a sticky and stalemate.

Seeing that this battle was no longer easy to win, Ko might eventually be able to kill his opponent by relying on "points". It would be useless to delay things for a long time, and Yuan Shao could only send an envoy. He couldn't play surprises, so he could only play cards normally.

At the end of July, Ma Han returned to Luoyang and received a joint letter from three people from Hebei represented by Yuan Xi that night, expressing his admiration for General Cavalry like a surging river. He hopes to visit the mansion the next day, and begs to take a while.

The Marsman threw the post on the desk and smiled and said, "Tomorrow's banquet will definitely be interesting."

...

On the first night of August, Ma Han held a banquet, and invited Yuan Xi, Xu You, Xin Ping and other Hebei envoys. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xu You, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Pang De were all sitting with each other.

There were also many prominent figures among the court officials to attend the banquet, such as the Censor Liu Ai, the Censor Zhong Yao, the Censor Han Rong, the Grand Historian Xun Yue, the Left General of the Yulin Central Army Fu De, the Yueqi Censor Wu Qi, etc. As for the other two heavyweight figures, the Grand Historian Yang Biao and Sikong Zhang Xi, both of whom were old and were very strong, and sent servants to send wine and meat to celebrate the joy.

The atmosphere of the banquet has always been very good. Yuan Xi may not perform well on the battlefield, but he is at ease with this kind of banquet. The banquet is full of spring breeze, versatile and comprehensive. Even poor people like Xu Huang and Pang De have never felt neglected.

Ma Wu secretly observed and concluded that if this person was an official in the court and had a prominent life experience, he could still make a fortune. Unfortunately, he took the wrong path. In the military, this kind of skill and communication were just inferior. What the soldiers really needed was iron-blooded and powerful strength, not these stupid things.

Xu You and Xin Ping are also talkative and elegant people, but in order to highlight the second young master, these two fully reflect the style of "eat more and say less", and do not speak much. Even if they speak, they mostly smooth things over for Yuan Xi and enjoy being the supporting actor.

Overall, the atmosphere of the banquet was friendly and harmonious - at least in the first half.

Soon, a jar of wine was drunk while drinking.

At this time, a servant came to the hall with a huge copper urn filled with wine, his feet steadily, calmly placed on the hoop in the lobby.

Yuan Xi looked at it and shouted: "I am worthy of being a healthy servant in the mansion of General Cavalry, so I have a lot of strength."

But when Ma Han saw this servant, a strange light flashed in his eyes. After waiting for the servant to go down, Ma Han got up to change his clothes (in the toilet), sued everyone attending the meeting, and retreated into the back hall.

As soon as he retreated into the back hall, Ma Han immediately walked out the door quickly.

There was already a man at the stairs waiting for him. It was the healthy servant just now, but Ma Han knew that he was definitely not a servant, but a special guard of the general's mansion, similar to the bodyguard of Zhongnanhai. Because of this, when he transformed into a servant, Ma Han knew that he had something important to tell him. He smiled and said, "Shi Shadow Sword, when will he disguise himself as a servant?"

The "Servant" smiled embarrassedly.

Shi Ah! This person is Wang Yue’s most outstanding disciple Shi Ah. Wang Yue returned to Princess Wannian and became her most trusted retainer and guard leader. Shi Ah, like Jack Ma, became the deputy leader. Jack Ma, was an inner guard, while Wang Yue, Shi A and other swordsmen were an outer guard.

Tonight, there were many guests in the General's Mansion, and almost all the guards were mobilized, including Hawkeye being dispatched at the same time, and even Wang Yue and Shi Adu participated in the inspection. However, so far, Ma Han has not received any abnormal reports. Unexpectedly, the first thing that discovered was Shi Adu, who was temporarily involved in the inspection.

"In fact, Shi A was just telling Master's discovery." Shi A bowed and whispered, "Master found an acquaintance among Yuan's servants. With this person's ability, it would be normal to protect the Yuan's neutron. However, Master found that this person was actually a horseman, which was absolutely impossible!"

"There is such a thing?" Ma Han mumbled his chin and said, "Is this person and the King's Army enemy or friend?"

"My master competed with this person in his early years, and he was neither an enemy nor a friend."

"Oh, compare swords? Who will lose and who will win?" Ma Han became interested.

"Only three-way fight, the master stops, and the opponent admits he will lose." Shi A looked up at Ma Han and said in a more intense tone, "Just just now, if you fight head-on, you will be afraid, but if you suddenly sting, it will be difficult for the master to be fully prepared..."

Ma Han knew about Zhao Yun and Wang Yue's competition, and said in surprise: "So powerful? Who is this person?"

"Hedong Ranger, the first swordsman, wish justice."
