Chapter 793 Father, Son, Brother
Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, and sighed faintly. "Exile is only three thousand miles away, but you are going ten thousand miles away. Should I praise you for being brave, or should I say you are cowardly?"

The corner of Yuan Tan's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed silently.

"It doesn't matter if you are brave or cowardly, it's better than waiting for death. The destiny of the great man is still alive, and the morality is revived, and Jizhou will be defeated. Rather than hoping that father and son will attack each other for this unrealistic hope, and brothers will turn against each other, I might as well go to the Western Regions , Find a way out by myself. In case the heavens show mercy and give me a place to stand, I will have the face to see my ancestors underground in the future."

Yuan Tan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think my grandfather and grandmother will support me in doing this."

Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched, he closed his eyes, and didn't say another word.

These days, he sat on the high platform and thought about it.But when he thought about how to face his ancestors under Jiuquan, how to face Li Ying, He Yong and others, he lost his courage.

Yuan Tan got up again and was about to step off the stage. When he walked to the edge of the stage, he stopped again.

"Does Ah Weng want to go back to Ye City, or stay here?"

Yuan Shao was slightly startled, and then said, "What's the difference?"

"If you go back to Yecheng, that's fine. If you stay here, you will inevitably meet with Gonglu. I'm afraid..."

Yuan Shao suddenly became short of breath and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Of course he wants to take back Jibei, so that he has the strength to bargain with the judge.But staying in northern Hebei, there is a high probability of conflict with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu didn't attack northern Hebei because he didn't want to meet Yuan Tan in battle.If Yuan Tan leaves, Yuan Shu will not only be as polite as before.

Besides, if Yuan Tan wants to become a minister, it is impossible to go empty-handed, at least one or two counties must be brought with him.

Handing over Hejian and Zhongshan to Yuan Shu was perfectly normal.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was silent, Yuan Tan didn't ask any more questions. "Ah Weng might as well think about it again, anyway, I won't leave for the time being."

Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that it can only be postponed for a month or two at most, he is still very happy.

Yuan Tan mounted his horse again and walked towards Yi Shui.

Xun Chen followed and glanced back at the high platform in the distance.In the gradually thinning tree shadows, the high platform is as hazy as smoke.

"What does my lord say?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, depressed. "As a son of man, I cannot bear to speak."

Xun Chen withdrew his gaze and scrutinized Yuan Tan for a moment. "Xiansi, this is not your fault, but you should learn from it. Governance should be divided into primary and secondary, otherwise there will be chaos. A small Jizhou can advance and retreat. How can we gain a foothold when we come to the Western Regions in the future?"

Yuan Tan nodded. "Been taught a lesson."

-

After crossing Yishui, Yuan Tan and Xun Chen went straight to Yuan Shu's camp.

I met many soldiers along the way, and after asking their identities, I quickly sent the news back to the camp.

When they arrived at Daying, Yuan Shu who received the news was already standing at the gate of Daying.Before they got off their horses, Yuan Shu greeted them with a big smile.

"Xiansi, why are you here? Miss me?"

Yuan Tan got on his horse and bowed his hands in salute. "Uncle, I have something to ask you for advice."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yuan Shu smiled openly, and glanced at Xun Chen again. "I heard that you went to Hedong, when did you come back? How about it, did you open your eyes this time? You brothers are all smart people, but if you really want to say that the smartest one has to be Wen Ruo."

Xun Chen got off his horse, with a cold face, and ignored Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu chuckled, ignored him, and took Yuan Tan's arm to walk into the big tent. "Tell me, what trouble did you encounter? Don't worry, Uncle will help you settle it."

"Uncle, I want to go to the Western Regions."

Yuan Shu was taken aback. "Western Region?"

Yuan Tan explained his intention in the future.

He wants to go to court to plead guilty, and then go to the Western Regions to fight. The plan is good, but he is not sure whether he can get the emperor's approval.

Xun Chen wasn't sure either, and Xun Yu didn't promise him anything.On the contrary, Xun Yu got it because he was worried that the emperor would think that the Xun family's power in the Western Regions was too great, and there was a hidden danger of being too big to lose.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu scratched his head, and also felt that this request was a bit beyond his ability.

This kind of thing can only be decided by the emperor, otherwise Yuan Tan would not be able to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

"Xiansi, do you want to establish a country in the Western Regions?"

Yuan Tan nodded.In front of Yuan Shu, he has no need to hide.

Whether or not the goal can be achieved depends on Yuan Shu's attitude.Only Yang Biao can help him persuade the emperor, and only Yuan Shu can help Yang Biao help him.

"In this regard, you are better than Bo Yang." Yuan Shu said with emotion: "That Zhu Zi has been in Chang'an for so long, and he can't succeed in literature or martial arts. He can't even cause trouble. He doesn't look like my son at all."

Xun Chen couldn't help curling his lips. "If I were like you, would I still be alive today?"

"What's wrong with me?" Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously. "Am I not more comfortable than you?"

Xun Chen turned his head, not wanting to argue with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu smacked his lips and nodded helplessly. "Let me ask, whether it can be done or not depends on the destiny. But according to me, even if you can't go to the Western Regions, it's better than staying in Jizhou. At least you can sleep more peacefully, right?"

Yuan Tan deeply agrees.

He is so tired.There is no hope in sight, and we must always be on guard against the attack of trial and match.If Youzhou Mu hadn't been Yuan Shu, he might not have been able to hold on long ago.

Instead of suffering, it is better to give up.

"What do you say? If he is willing to go to court with you, this is a chance." Yuan Shu thought for a while, his eyes turned cold. "Or you can take him with you, regardless of whether he likes it or not. With such a credit in hand, the court must give some face."

Yuan Tan quickly raised his hand to stop it.

Yuan Shu could not be allowed to continue talking.Besides, Yuan Shu might let him kill Yuan Shao directly and enter the court with his head.

Yuan Shu blinked his eyes. "If you don't want to do it, let me do it. National laws and family rules, public and private considerations, kill two birds with one stone."

Xun Chen couldn't help himself. "Yuan Gonglu, can you tell me something useful?"

"Why is it useless?" Yuan Shu said angrily: "You scholars usually boast of being resourceful, but when you really do things, you are afraid of wolves and tigers. You want to eat meat, but you are also afraid of getting dirty. Yu Ren. Back then, I was harmed by the Yuan family..."

Yuan Tan hurriedly stopped Yuan Shu. "Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Youruo."

"I know it has nothing to do with him." Yuan Shu snorted. "If it's related to him, do you think I'll save his life?"

Xun Chen looked embarrassed and was speechless.

While talking, someone rushed in quickly and handed Yuan Shu a letter.Yuan Shu glanced at the cover, and his brows were filled with joy.

"Hey, Xiansi, here's your chance."

"Whose letter?"

"Your sister-in-law. Speaking of which, she rarely writes to me. A sudden letter must have good news."

Xun Chen couldn't help but choked: "How do you know it's not bad news?" As soon as the words came out, he regretted it and spat subconsciously.

Yuan Shu ignored him, opened the letter, read it, and slapped his thigh hard. "Sure enough, heroes see the same thing. Xiansi, look, your sister-in-law also means the same thing."

Yuan Tan was puzzled.

He knew that sister-in-law—Yuan Shu's younger sister—was a formidable character, someone who could control uncle Yang Biao submissively, and didn't even dare to accept a concubine.It is impossible to say that she, like Yuan Shu, advised him to capture Yuan Shao alive and go to Chang'an.

After all, the Yuan family in Runan is a noble family, and this kind of thing that violates the ethics of father and son must not be done.

"What did my sister say?"

"He asked me to persuade you to join the court."

"Uh...how can I persuade you?"

Yuan Shu stroked his beard and sneered. "How else can I persuade you? Of course, bring tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry to persuade you."
