************************

Linzi has a long history and one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. It was once the capital of Qi State in the Zhou Dynasty and the capital of the King of Qi in the Han Dynasty. It is now the capital of Qingzhou.

The capital of Linzi City was built during the reign of Emperor Xiaohe, but it has not yet appeared to be tragic or dilapidated. On the contrary, the prefect's mansion is bright and powerful. It is because after Yuan Tan came to the Plain, he defeated Tian Kai, attacked Kong Rong, and occupied the entire Qingzhou, and repaired the prefect's mansion many times.

Yuan Tan's temperament is the same as his father Yuan Shao, and he pays more attention to appearance, so he is very concerned about the renovation of the prefect's mansion. Since taking over the important tasks of the entire Qingzhou, Yuan Tan has decorated the prefect's mansion from the inside to the outside almost every few months. Although it is not extravagant, it is also very majestic.

In the main hall, Yuan Tan was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, holding a teacup, and silently reading the contents on the slip.

His face was quite solemn and upright, with a handsome and handsome face, and a wisp of green beard under his jaw. He looked upright and heroic, but when he looked closely, he would find that a little gloom occasionally flashed in his eyes.

"This kid actually wrote me a letter too? That's a strange thing!"

Yuan Tan muttered to himself, and his voice seemed to be mocking, disdainful, and mixed feelings, making people unable to understand what they mean.

Yuan Tan was sitting down at the head of the head, a middle-aged scholar was sitting. He looked motionless when he heard this, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was Xin Ping, who had just been ordered by Yuan Shao to come to Qingzhou for inspection.

Xin Ping was originally a subordinate of Han Fu. In the second year of Chuping, he and Xun Chen and Guo Tu persuaded Han Fu to transfer the governorship of Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and made great contributions to Yuan Shao's great cause in establishing Jizhou. Xin Ping was therefore invited to become a subordinate of Yuan.

Although Xin Pingren is in Jizhou, he has always been incompatible with Shen Pei and Feng Ji in his opinion. He does not like Yuan Shang, who is just like him, but instead appreciates Yuan Tan. In Xin Ping's eyes, Yuan Tan is an outstanding figure among Yuan Shao's sons... Compared to Yuan Xi's cowardice, timidity, Yuan Shang's arrogance, and Yuan Tan, who is quite talented in war, is much better than them.

I have to say that Xin Ping's vision is also quite basis. In the first year of Jian'an, when Yuan Tan just led his troops to Qingzhou, he only occupied a county in the plain. However, he later defeated Tian Kai and Kong Rong in succession and occupied the entire Qingzhou area. It can be regarded as accustomed to fighting and is quite majestic.

Although Yuan Tan is quite brave and is accustomed to doing things but does it based on his preferences, in Xin Ping's eyes, these are not problems. After all, Yuan Tan is still very young, and as long as he is good at inducing in the future, it should not be difficult to correct it.

Besides, Yuan Tan is the eldest son, and it is natural for the eldest son to inherit his father's business. Many reasons are mixed together, and naturally, Xin Ping gradually became a middle-aged man like Yuan Tan.

"Is the book in the eldest son's hand written by the third son?" After a long silence, Xin Ping took the lead in speaking, breaking the tranquility in the hall.

Yuan Tan closed his eyes on the book Jian and stared at Xin Ping with a smile: "Zhong cured his vicious gaze, but I didn't say anything, so I let you guess it in one word. Yes, this letter of help from Jian was indeed written by my third brother himself, and asked me to go out of Qingzhou to respond to the south."

Xin Ping's expression remained unchanged, but her heart moved, and she said, "What do the eldest son feel in his heart?"

Yuan Tan's eyelids jumped slightly and said with a smile: "In the Battle of Guandu, I led Qingzhou troops to camp and the right camp. I never offered suggestions by my father. Fortunately, my third brother was alert and intelligent. First, he rushed to rescue Wuchao, and then sent troops south to disperse Cao's troops and made outstanding achievements. Now, after returning to Qingzhou through Xuzhou, I, the elder brother, should send troops to respond."

Xin Ping nodded after hearing this and said, "The eldest son is thoughtful. Since that's the case, I will say goodbye and go back to Jizhou first."

After saying that, he saw Xin Ping bowing and getting up, turning around and trying to leave.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan was anxious and stood up and said, "Zhongzhi has only been here for a few days. I have not been here for the guests and treated him with courtesy, but why are you so anxious to leave? Could it be that Yuan Tan has taken care of his husband here?"

Xin Ping turned his head and smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "The eldest son is very kind to Xin Ping. After three days of review, the young master took good care of him, and there was no inappropriateness."

"Why is the gentleman still in a hurry to leave? Could it be that there is something important in Jizhou?"

Xin Ping shook her head and said, "Jizhou is not at the moment. It's not a big deal if there are more Xin Ping, but the eldest son is unwilling to have a heart to do with Xin Ping, so he has reservations in his words. There is no benefit to staying here. It's better to join Jizhou, so as not to be a waste of money here."

Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this, and the muscles on his face twitched back and forth without realizing it, as if he was hesitant, as if he was nervous, as if he was sad.

After a while, Yuan Tan sighed and bowed, saying, "The lesson that sir taught me is Yuan Tan's private settlement."

Xin Ping's face showed a smile and said, "Please think about it again and tell Xin Ping, what do you think about the third son's return this time?"

After hearing Xin Ping's straight-forward words, Yuan Tan's smile gradually closed, and a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.

Yes! It's nothing else, it's hatred!

From the bottom of my heart, Yuan Tan hated Yuan Shang, and that hatred was hidden deep in it since childhood, unforgettable!

Since his mother Zhang left, Yuan Shang's mother Liu became the master of Yuan Shao's mansion. Liu was cruel and favored Yuan Xi. Yuan Shang did not say that, but he deliberately slandered and suppressed him in front of Yuan Shao. Every time Yuan Tan met Liu, the resentful gaze in Liu's eyes could be seen by Yuan Tan.

It was an unconcealed hatred! She was frustrated that Yuan Tan occupied the position of the eldest son and blocked the path of Chengsi of her own son. She wished that Yuan Tan would be crushed to death by a carriage as soon as he went out, and used his Yuan Tan's flesh and blood to pave a flat and smooth road for her son.

What's even more annoying is that Yuan Shao is far less fond of himself than he did at the time. Yuan Shao did not encourage his great military achievements. Instead, he often praised his third son Yuan Shang's appearance and appearance in front of a group of civil and military officials for his father's appearance and charm, which was quite like his youth.

And what is even more terrifying is that in recent years, Yuan Shao has unknowingly had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the young people.

That kind of doting, that kind of bias, and that kind of arrogance all made Yuan Tan deeply jealous from the bottom of his heart.

That bastard boy? What abilities do he have, what abilities do he have, what achievements do he have, and how can he bear the many favors God has given him?

Before I knew it, a cold atmosphere began to circulate in the hall......

"Zhongzhi, when it comes to this, I won't hide it from you. In recent years, my father has become increasingly distant from my eldest son, and he is increasingly dissatisfied with me. Although he doesn't say it, I can guess it. In his heart, the person who likes the most and wants to pass on his foundation is the third brother! It's just that due to the lack of great achievements and orderly etiquette of the third brother, he has never been clearly stated, but now it's different. In the battle with Cao Cao, the third brother performed outstandingly, and the whole army admired him. My father didn't say it on the surface, and I guess he was very happy... Zhongzhi, it's not that I, Yuan Tan, is suspicious of others. If I really let it go like this, I, the position of governor of Qingzhou, wouldn't know how many more years I could sit for."

Xin Ping gently wrapped around the beard on his chin and sighed: "It's time and momentum... Young Master Kong is full of talent and ambitions, but unfortunately he can't get the time. How regretful it is, how regretful it is."

Yuan Tan looked up at Xin Ping and said, "How to act, I hope Zhongzhi will teach me."

Xin Ping said nothing when he heard this, but just shook his head gently, shaking his head while saying to himself: "Now, Hebei is really surging. There is a strong enemy Cao Cao on the side, and there is a black mountain bandit Zhang Yan entrenched in the territory. It is difficult, difficult."

Yuan Tan frowned, as if he didn't understand what Xin Ping suddenly pulled Cao Cao and Zhang Yan to do.

But when Xin Ping smiled and said nothing, he shook his finger to the west, then reached out to point the south.

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment when he saw this, thought about it carefully for a while, and finally realized something.

Cao Cao is a cover, and what he really refers to is the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan!

Since Yuan Shao and Lu Bu fought with the Black Mountain Army in the territory, Zhang Yan has held a grudge against the Yuan family and even joined forces with Gongsun Zan, sending general Du Chang to lead troops to assist Gongsun Zan, but unfortunately he was eventually defeated by Yuan Shao.

Later, Yuan Shao was angry and Zhang Yan repeatedly raised troops to fight him, and ordered a large-scale suppression of the Heishan Army. Zhang Yan and others were in Hebei, and it was difficult for a generation to survive, so he had to lead his troops to move repeatedly, and the two sides formed almost unsolvable hatred.

Recently, it is necessary to investigate that Zhang Yan's troops are currently stationed on the Qingzhou border. It is not ignored because Yuan's army has been stalemate with Cao Cao. Given the blood feud between Zhang Yan and Yuan, if he knew that Yuan Shao's beloved son returned through Qingzhou, he might not have...
