After obtaining Zhang Yan's loyalty, Yuan Xi took the opportunity to check his stats!
Zhang Yan
[Strength: 83]
[Intelligence: 78]
[Commander: 82]
Political Affairs: 74
[Charm: 78]
[Loyalty: 85]
Looking at Zhang Yan's stats, Yuan Xi understood that Zhang Yan was also a relatively comprehensive character!
It was suitable for guarding a region!
In fact, for many civil officials and generals, if they had a clear style and became a highly popular character!
Some were skilled in martial arts, such as Zhao Yun and Lu Bu; Some were outstanding in strategy, like Guo Jia and Xun Yu; Some of them were extremely beautiful, such as Zhen Mi and Diao Chan!
If he could become the top in one aspect, he would be famous all over the world!
However, those with average strength and were basically second-rate talents were not famous!
Whether it was Zhang Yan, Li Tong, or Li Dian, they were all the same!
However, to Yuan Xi, Zhang Yan was still a good general. Furthermore, there were millions of people from Black Mountain!
Yuan Xi naturally wouldn't let go of this help!
However, Zhang Yan had said that she would return to Taihang Mountain and persuade the Black Mountain Army to surrender to him!
Yuan Xi still refused!
" Could it be that my lord doesn't trust me? Although I was once a thief, I am also a righteous thief. Every mouthful of saliva is a nail…"
Yuan Xi laughed when she saw that Zhang Yan seemed to be a little angry because of her distrust!
He knew the character of these ancient people. Since they said they would surrender, they naturally would not go back on their words!
Furthermore, Zhang Yan's character was also guaranteed. She wasn't someone like Lu Bu who would surrender and then betray!
Hence, Yuan Xi also said with a smile!
"Zhang Yan, it's not that I don't trust you, but I'm not in charge of the Yuan family now. My father only admires the descendants of famous families.”
"Thus, you will continue to stay in the Taihang Mountains with the people of Black Mountain.”
"Whether it's for me to inherit the Yuan family or to attack Gongsun Zan, you're an army that can catch us off guard!”
"Therefore, I need you to help me outside, not to follow me back to Jizhou and become a general under my father. Do you understand?”
Zhang Yan's anger immediately dissipated when she heard Yuan Xi's words!
On the contrary, he was even more impressed by Yuan Xi's actions, and his loyalty had also increased by several points!
"My lord is thoughtful, but this general has not thought it through. However, this general also has something to say. No matter where my lord is, you only need to write a letter!”
"Zhang Yan will come no matter where she goes!”
After Zhang Yan said this, Yuan Xi personally helped her up!
In fact, this matter was very simple. What Yuan Xi wanted was nothing more than Zhang Yan to be loyal to him!
Even if he wanted to start a war with Yuan Shao, Zhang Yan had to stand on his side!
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Xi allowed Zhang Yan to continue leading the Black Mountain Army outside and become one of his spies!
After all, the current Yuan Xi, to put it nicely, was the heir of the Yuan family, but in reality, these civil officials and fierce generals under Yuan Shao!
Even if it was Tian Feng and Ju Shou!
If Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao really had a conflict, they would absolutely stand on Yuan Shao's side. This was destined to be unchangeable!
Of course, it wasn't that Yuan Xi had to go to war with Yuan Shao. This was just an analogy. Their first priority would definitely be to be loyal to Yuan Shao, not Yuan Xi!
In short, there were too few people who were only loyal to Yuan Xi!
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rations for the brothers of the Black Mountain Army!”
Finished talking, Yuan Xi took out his token and handed it to Zhang Yandao!
"You just need to send someone with this token to the Zhen family in Zhongshan Wuji and say that they are under my orders to collect the grain!”
"After a while, I will send a troop to Taihang Mountain. It will be a good opportunity for the Zhen family to gather all their troops there.”
"You can't just sit around in Taihang Mountain. Firstly, you have to train your soldiers. After all, the Black Mountain Army's combat power is too low. Secondly, you have to let the people of Taihang Mountain know of my kindness!”
"After this period of time, the army will naturally have full combat strength!”
"But don't worry. In a few years, you won't have to stay on Taihang Mountain anymore. You'll become my, Yuan Xi's, independent generals!”
After receiving Yuan Xi's instructions, Zhang Yan also understood!
Therefore, under Yuan Xi's arrangements, an army disguised as the Black Mountain Army launched a sneak attack. They took advantage of the chaos to rescue Zhang Yan and her confidants before heading towards Taihang Mountain!
After Zhang Yan left, Yuan Xi's army was only tens of miles away from Ye City!
After walking for a few hours, Ye City was in sight!
Long before this, Yuan Xi already ordered people to go and report to Yuan Shao!
However, the messenger was also a little puzzled. Everyone clearly knew that Young Master Yuan Xi wasn't dead!
However, the order he had to pass was that Yuan Xi's coffin was less than ten miles away from Ye City!
Not only that, at the front of the army, Zhang He and Gao Lan were guarding a coffin made of red wood!
Although he couldn't figure out Yuan Xi's intentions, he was the master, so the messenger could only do this!
When Yuan Shao received the order, he also brought all his sons, including Lady Liu and Zhen Mi!
The whole family came to the gate of Ye City to welcome Yuan Xi's memorial tablet!
Similarly, all the officials who didn't know the news also followed behind Yuan Shao, their faces filled with grief!
Only Yuan Tan had a hint of madness on his face!
In his opinion, since Zhang Nan and Zhang Yan had been exposed, they must have been killed by the furious Gao Lan and Zhang He!
Anyway, this sin could not be blamed on him!
Moreover, Yuan Xi was already dead. Who could prove that this matter was done by him, Yuan Tan? At most, he could just deny it with his life!
That Yuan Xi couldn't possibly climb out of his coffin and confront him!
Gradually, when Zhang He's army arrived at the gate of Ye City, a coffin appeared in front of everyone!
Upon seeing this, Zhen Mi, who had already received news of Yuan Xi, immediately rushed forward with tears in her eyes!
It couldn't be helped. If Zhen Mi didn't rush out first, this show wouldn't be able to continue!
"Husband…"
Hearing Zhen Mi's shrill voice, everyone's eyes turned red!
At this moment, Yuan Shao and Madam Liu couldn't hold it in any longer. Losing a son in their old age, sending off a black-haired person, this was such a miserable thing!
He never thought that it would actually happen to him, the number one duke in the world!
At this moment, Yuan Shao seemed to be able to understand Cao Cao's pain. They were all sons who were prepared to inherit his inheritance, but they died on the battlefield!
Then, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Xu You immediately got off their horses and took a deep breath, mentally prepared to be scolded by Yuan Shao!
"Reporting to my lord, the guilty generals Zhang He and Gao Lan (guilty minister Xu You) are escorting the young master back to Ye City!”
Yuan Shao immediately stopped wailing when he heard these words. He looked at the three people and was furious!
However, before Yuan Shao could speak, Zhang He said!
"My lord, the matter has been investigated. That night, Zhang Nan was ordered by Young Master Yuan Tan to collude with the Black Mountain Army to let him into the city and kill the second young master!”
"This is a letter that Eldest Young Master wrote to Zhang Yan. Please examine it carefully, my lord!”
As soon as he said that, everyone's expression changed drastically…
