Jizhou, Yecheng.

"Don't take medicine... take it away!" A voice of lack of breath sounded angrily.

The wide sleeves were flying, and the porcelain bowl broke into the ground, the medicine splashed everywhere, the porcelain pieces broke and bounced out, and the pair of steps just passed the threshold, and the porcelain pieces rolled to the feet that came in and turned around.

The atmosphere in the room seemed solemn. The maids serving around him lowered their heads and did not dare to make it sound. The figures coming in front of him were wearing blue-robed brown robe and had a well-proportioned figure, so he didn't want to ride Tian Feng. He waved back to the servants on both sides of the bed, and then bowed to Yuan Shao's wife Liu, with a solemn and upright expression.

When the woman saw that it was Tian Feng, she didn't want to say much, so she nodded and turned around and left the room. There were Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang. The former was tall and powerful, and had a rough appearance. When she heard the sound of a porcelain bowl breaking inside, she wanted to push the door in. After a moment, Liu retreated from it.

"Mother, is my father healthy?"

"I was so angry... where can I take medicine?" Liu's eyes showed concern: "Tian Biejia came to persuade him just now, and I don't know what happened. Xiansi and you Shang'er should go in together, so that he can see it and feel better."

Yuan Shang, who was more handsome than his brother, looked a little weak, but his words were clear and generous: "Mom, please rest with confidence. I will go in with my brother to see my father. The second brother and second sister-in-law will definitely be fine."

Liu nodded with relief, and then asked the maid to help him back. At this time, the two brothers gently pushed open the side door and walked into Yuan Shao's dormitory, and the voices of talking over there were still.

"... Liaodong has been pacified by Gongsun Zhi. Although Feng didn't know why Gongsun Du did not join forces with his lord or Cao Cao, he was the only one who joined hands with Gongsun Zhi, the evil wolf, but now it is the best time to attack Shanggu County. There are hundreds of thousands of Xianbei in Shanggu County and Wuhuan prisoners are to be resettled. Gongsun Zhi's soldiers have just experienced two major battles. It is a time of exhaustion of morale. If you accidentally attack Shangdang, Yanmen and Juyong, it will be difficult for them to take care of each other. Once you break through one place, lead your troops to take the main place. When the spring is warm next year, speed up the advancement. If you can form a clamping force, the safety of Shanggu County is in the hands of the lord!"

In the excited words, Yuan Shao leaned on the couch and looked at the passionate old man in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and for a moment, he struggled to get up, "Yuan Hao's words were deeply convinced, Gongsun Zhi has always won by surprise, so I will do the opposite... I will definitely catch him off guard."

"It would be right if the lord thinks like this. You can't treat Bailang reasonably. He uses strangeness, and the lord needs strangeness to get rid of his designs."

The sickly Yuan Shao finally had a bloody face and smiled. Tian Feng opposite him bowed and stood there solemnly.

"Yuan Hao doesn't have to be too polite. It's late autumn now, and Shanggu County should be the most lively time. In the past, Gongsun Zhi often used his little charity, but it was just a sneak attack and a roundabout way. If this surprise attack was over and defeated him once, his reputation of winning would be broken. My Jizhou general would not have much pressure. Yuan Hao should help me."

At this moment, the weak words in the bed bed could be said like this. Tian Feng finally felt that his lord could accept his suggestion, so he knelt down and agreed. Yuan Shao stretched out a hand from the bed bed to support him.

"In the past, I should have listened to Yuan Hao's words more." He smiled on his face, "You and Ju Su are different from other Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others. They are upright and dare to speak out. Today, my mood has dissipated. Let's talk about how to raid the white hair..."

While he was talking, someone ran from the courtyard outside the building with a letter from the corridor. When he knocked on the door, he interrupted the speech in the inner room. Yuan Shao took the handed silk, opened it and looked, folded his face unchangedly, waved his subordinates away, and smiled at Tian Feng, "Suddenly, Yuan Hao continued to talk. When I recovered from illness, I would ask Yuan Hao to go to the mansion and discuss it carefully."

"My lord, don't hesitate! Although Feng didn't know what was written on it, he gave up one son and leveled the five counties in the border areas. This opportunity was fleeting, and he might never be there again in the future. Please think twice."

With his hand slightly tightened the silk, Yuan Shao's eyes turned away and his voice sank: "...Yuan Hao, you... go out."

In such words, Tian Feng glanced at the Subo, and had to grit his teeth and nodded, bowed to Yuan Shao, hesitated for a long time, and finally retreated out of the door, walked through the courtyard with a light walk, and a leaf fell on the top of his head. He grabbed it and squeezed it in his hand, raised his eyes to the big tree in the courtyard. The yellow leaves falling from the branches were falling on the stone table one by one, and he breathed a sigh of relief, tilted his head and closed his eyes.

"After the time is wrong, I don't know which year or month we will wait for." He whispered.

After leaving, the atmosphere in the room filled with herb smell became more and more serious. There was no sound around him, and it seemed dead silent. Yuan Shao sat on the edge of the bed with his eldest son, looking at the medicine bowl on the broken ground, and shook his head: "Tian Feng made this plan really good. It's not that he doesn't want to use it for his father, but once he uses it, Xier and Zhen Mi are afraid that there will be a lot of danger. If it is not his son, he will naturally not feel heartbroken..."

The words suddenly stopped, and Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the big and thick son, "Xiansi, you should go back to Qingzhou to stay in charge. You can still hold on for your father's body. Stay in Qingzhou and strictly guard against Cao Mengde."

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was originally supported was slowly loosened and hung down. He spoke for a while, but his voice was a little hoarse: "Since my father is fine... the child will go back to Qingzhou first, and wait for the New Year to come back to visit his father and mother." He lowered his head, took two steps back, and slowly walked out of the side door. When the door closed, his eyes were kept looking at his father's silhouette until the gap was closed.

The sound of closing the door came, Yuan Shao moved weakly, turned to look at the third son next to him and did not speak, but signaled him to get closer, grabbed Yuan Shang's hand and patted him, sighed: "Xianfu... How great it would be if you were the eldest son, so you don't have to make such a difficult situation for your father."

I gently patted my son's back of his hand. It was November outside and it was late autumn.

Not long after, the team sent the letters left Yecheng thousands of miles away, crossed mountains and ridges across the majestic passes, and arrived at Shanggu County, which was already cold and cold before the first snow in winter. Xu You stood in front of the yamen wearing a thick fur, and was told by the young general holding a painting halberd that the yamen would not be seen now, and he had to meet the general's chief or talk to the governor of the North in person.

It seemed that Gongsun Zhi was not in the city at this moment. Fortunately, Xu You was not from Jizhou, so he was treated harshly, so he went to the inn to settle in the warm house waiting to be summoned. At this time, Gongsun Zhi, Li Ru, Tian Yu, and a group of generals in the army were walking near the workshop area where craftsmen gathered.

The cold wind whistled across the earth. As the New Year approached, the workshops belonging to merchants were about to stop work. The craftsmen returned home one after another to prepare for the New Year. At this time, there were few people in the dense workshop area. Walking through the archway with the word "Workyard", there were courtyards of all sizes on both sides. Occasionally, people would enter from inside. It was a left-behind guardhouse. The workshops belonging to the yamen were still behind this area. But at this moment, Gongsun Zhi refused to let everyone ride horses, and went to the destination while visiting.

"...... Most of this place is filled with the fur and bones purchased by merchants here, and then transport them to the south. Of course, the copper and iron ore that were secretly mined from all over the Central Plains or from the mountains will be transported here forged and sold to the government. In recent years, we have also found several rich ore veins in the mountains. This situation has been slightly better, but the mining method is not as effective as the Central Plains, and the output is still not enough."

Although Li Ru took over the job of a county magistrate, he knew everything about Shanggu County, which had been in charge for several years, every tree, every bucket, every hike. While walking, he introduced the wolf king wearing a cloak beside him. After all, Gongsun Zhi had been fighting all year round, and when he returned to Shanggu County, he was either at home or in the military camp. Although the yamen had also gone there, he had never really seen it.

"It was not easy for this sparsely populated county to reach its present day..." Gongsun Zhi looked at the workshop gate with festive calligraphy and paintings around him, and sighed with emotion, "...... If Yuan Shao hadn't been pressing his big bear tightly, it would have been like a knife hanging above his head, he would probably not have achieved such a success."

"When I talk about Yuan Shao, when will the lord meet Xu You?" Li Ru asked casually, tightening the fox tail wrapped around his neck.

".......Ha." Gongsun Zhi walked forward with great strides, waved his hand indifferently, walked to the door of a surging workshop in front and stopped. Looking at the flag towering in the sky, the white giant wolf fluttered in the wind, narrowed his eyes, and his heroic voice fell in the wind.

"...I don't say anything. Who dares to move in the north? Keep him in the inn."
