    Tian Feng was an important figure in the Hebei faction, and Yuan Shao had already intended to re-enable him. Now it was just in time to use Yan Liang's hand to kick away Tian Feng, a troublesome political opponent, and also take the opportunity to frame him for colluding secretly with Yan Liang. This played into Xun Chen's favour.  ¡¯s intentions.

    So although he couldn't see through Yan Liang's intentions, he agreed happily.

    After finalizing two conditions, Xun Chen only stayed for one day and hurried back to Xudu the next day.

    At this time, Yuan Shao was so angry and worried about the safety of his eldest son that his health deteriorated.

    After Xun Chen returned to Xudu, he united with Xin Ping and other Ruying scholars and tried hard to persuade Yuan Shao. In the end, he persuaded Yuan Shao and was forced to agree to the conditions proposed by Yan Liang.

    As 500,000 hu of grain and grass and Tian Feng were sent to Xinye one after another, Xun Chen came to Xinye again and asked Yan Liang to fulfill his promise and release Yuan Tan.

    Yan Liang was originally worried that after Yuan Tan was released, Yuan Shao would regret it and send troops to attack.

    However, Yan Liangkuan was reassured by the latest information sent back by Xu You's supervisor, Cao Xizuo.

    Xi Zuo stated in the intelligence that Yuan Shao's condition was difficult to recover and his health was getting worse.

    Yan Liang thought that Yuan Shao was sick and would not have the energy to deal with him. This was one of the reasons.

    And with Yuan Shao¡¯s age and current illness, if something suddenly happens and Yuan Tan is not around at that time, then Yuan Shang can naturally succeed to the throne. At that time, it will be extremely disadvantageous for him.

    After various considerations, Yan Liang decided to release Yuan Tan.

    That afternoon, Yan Liang personally led his army several miles out of the city to see off the eldest son of the Yuan family.

    "My eldest son, a misunderstanding earlier caused you to suffer a little. I hope you will not hold any grudges."

    Yan Liang, who was riding side by side, smiled and said to Yuan Tan beside him.

    At this time, Yuan Tan's broken wrist has not yet healed, and the traces of bruises and swelling can still be seen on his face. It is obvious that he has suffered more than just a "little".

    But Yuan Tan could only pretend to smile, "I don't remember those things a long time ago. We are all family members, so we don't say such polite words."

    Yan Liang rode a few steps quickly, widening the distance between him and the people behind him, as if he had something to say to Yuan Tan.

    Yuan Tan understood and had to follow closely.

    "My eldest son, Yan knows that you hate me so much that you wish you could cut me into pieces, right?"

    Yan Liang suddenly said such a straightforward sentence.

    Yuan Tan was startled, his swollen face looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.

    Yan Liang smiled and said calmly: "I guess, eldest son, what you are thinking about now is how to persuade your father-in-law to raise an army to attack this general after returning to Xudu, so as to avenge your bloodshed."

    A casual word struck a chord in Yuan Tan's mind.

    "General Yan is really good at joking. You can let me go. It's too late for me to be grateful. How can I think of revenge."

    Yuan Tan, who was poked into his thoughts, was sweating on his forehead and was busy denying it with a smile.

    A sneer flashed across Yan Liang's lips, "It doesn't matter if the eldest son doesn't admit it, we both know each other well, but I can tell you clearly that even if you come with an army that will overwhelm the country, I will be able to break it. By that time  , Eldest Young Master, what you lose is not just a battle, but your Yuan family¡¯s empire.¡±

    Yan Liang's self-confidence, which seemed to be innate, made Yuan Tan feel a deep chill to his bones, and when he heard the last sentence, his heart was even more violently shocked.

    "According to my detailed report, my father-in-law has been furious about the incident with the eldest son. Now his health is deteriorating. Considering that he is nearly sixty years old, it is still unknown how long he can survive."

    Yuan Tan was trapped in Xinye and did not know the situation in Xudu. Now he was shocked to hear that his father was infected.

    "To put it bluntly, your father's end is approaching soon. Your top priority now, eldest son, is how to fight for the reserve position with your good brother, instead of struggling with me endlessly. I want to say that eldest son,  You are so wise, you shouldn¡¯t be confused about the importance.¡±

    After these words, Yuan Tan fell into silence.

    "Obviously, although Yan Liang's words may not be pleasant to the ears, they are not rough in logic.

    " If the eldest son of the Yuan family was thinking about killing Yan Liang and taking revenge a few seconds ago, at this moment, he had already completely forgotten about revenge.

    "Yan Liang is right. Overcoming Xianfu, winning the reserve position is the most important thing. When I get the Yuan family, are I afraid that I won't be able to kill this thief"

    Yuan Tan secretly had an idea in his heart, and his gloomy expression gradually calmed down.

    &nbspWhen Yan Liang spoke, he watched the changes in Yuan Tan's expression intently. He quickly saw that the eldest son of the Yuan family had been persuaded by him.

    Sure enough, Yuan Tan looked grateful and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, General Yan, for reminding me. Otherwise, I would have really missed something important."

    Yan Liang smiled secretly, but praised: "I am indeed right, the eldest son is really a talented person, and you must be the heir to the Yuan family. I, Yan Liang, like you very much, eldest son."

    Yuan Tan felt a little proud after being complimented by Yan Liang, and couldn't help but laugh.

    Xu You, who was following behind, looked at the two of them talking and laughing, and was secretly surprised: "Look at Yuan Tan smiling so heartily, and he doesn't seem to have any hatred for General Yan at all. I wonder what the general fed him."  The Ecstasy Soup actually made Yuan Tan like this"

    When I was surprised, the team had already sent them ten miles away from Xinye.

    Yan Liang reined up his horse and stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Yan will be sent here. Take care of the eldest son on the way. Yan wishes the eldest son that he will get what he wants, and I will rely on him a lot when the time comes."

    Yuan Tanyi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Easy to talk about, let's just say goodbye and say goodbye."

    After being polite, Yuan Tan then looked towards the north road under the protection of more than a hundred Yuan family soldiers.

    After Yuan Tan had gone far, Xu You rode closer and said suspiciously: "General, what on earth did you say to that Yuan Tan? Why do you seem to have become close friends?"

    Yan Liang smiled and told him what he had said before.

    Xu You suddenly realized, and his old face couldn't help but show admiration, "The general's move is really wonderful. Even if Yuan Tan has a grudge against us, he will definitely not dare to cause trouble again, so we can safely deal with Liu Biao."  ¡±

    "You can't be so full of words, I don't think so."

    There was a deep meaning in Yan Liang's tone, and his eyes slowly turned to the northwest.

    His eyes traveled across the Nanyang Basin and over the majestic undulating Qinling Mountains, as if he saw the majestic city right in front of him.

    ? ######

    Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

    Cao Cao was frowning, silently staring at the huge map hanging on the wall.

    On the Yanzhou side, Cheng Yu and Liu Yan's troops were still resisting, but facing Yuan's army who had won a great victory in Guandu, their morale was low and their troops were limited, so they could only retreat steadily.

    Not to mention the Yuzhou front line to which Xu Du belongs, after the defeat of Guandu, they almost surrendered. Only the veteran Cai Yang led thousands of soldiers and horses to retreat to Shouchun, hoping to defend themselves by occupying the Huaihe River.

    On the front line of Xuzhou, Liu Bei took the opportunity to rise up and quickly forced Xiaopei, Xiapi and other counties to surrender in the name of Yuan Shao. The Xuzhou family, headed by Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling, once again chose to submit to Liu Bei.

    Cao Cao shook his head and sighed secretly, a hint of sadness flashed across his old face.

    However, there is still some confidence on that gloomy face.

    Although the Guandong states fell, fortunately, Yuan Shao was busy occupying the states and counties and had no jurisdiction to lead his army to the west to attack Guanzhong. The princes such as Ma Han in Guanzhong did not show strong dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's arrival.

    Now, Cao Cao has been in Chang'an for nearly two months. After surviving the chaos and uneasiness when he first arrived, he has gradually established a foothold in Chang'an.

    However, looking around Chang'an, there are more than a dozen Xiliang princes standing in clusters, with a total military strength of nearly hundreds of thousands.

    These Xiliang warlords, who were famous for their cruelty, were only nominally affiliated with the imperial court. In fact, the territory that Cao Cao could really control was only a dozen counties, including Chang'an.

    "There are a group of Xiliang princes surrounding them, like a awning on their backs, like a awning on their backs"

    Cao Cao sighed again, and all the civil and military officials on the left and right also looked worried.

    At this time, Guo Jia relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "I have a plan that may help the Prime Minister eliminate his worries."

    Cao Cao's spirit suddenly perked up and he asked what the clever strategy was.

    When Guo Jia was about to speak, the attendants outside suddenly entered in a hurry.

    "Prime Minister, General Cao Zilian is back."

    Hearing this news, not only Cao Cao, but also everyone present was surprised.
