048 The Tangled Heart

The title of this chapter is written in the imitation of the classic movie "Brave Heart" known as a must-see for men...

——————————

This annoying slave, at this critical moment, ruined my good deeds!

Wu Fan cursed in his heart.

Cui Yingying under her body refused to lie down anyway. Even though Wu Fan repeatedly emphasized that he was only a dozen times away from him, he could accomplish his work. At this time, giving up was like what he had done before.

Cui Yingying just refused to rely on her. She looked panicked, like a child who did something wrong.

Wu Fan had no choice but to turn over, sit in the bed and watch Cui Yingying put on her clothes in a hurry, then tidied up her hair in the mirror, and then ran out with Ling'er knocking on the door tightly.

Wu Fan was unhappy. The guy under him seemed to be resentful, standing straight, still maintaining his angrily and ferocious look. Until the sound of Ling'er's footsteps sounded in the yard, there was still no ease.

"Madam, why is your face so red? Could it be that you are sick?"

It's Ling'er's voice.

"Ah...I'm fine, it's because... I ran to open the door for you just now."

Cui Yingying stammered and responded.

"Hey, where did this snow-white war horse come from? It's so majestic!"

"Oh, it was our master who rode back."

"The master is back? It's so great. I'm going to listen to the master talk about things on the battlefield!"

As he said that, Ling'er ran into the main house like a gust of wind. Cui Yingying wanted to call her but it was too late.

Fortunately, after hearing the sound of Ling'er entering the yard, Wu Fan pulled over the quilt and covered her lower body. So, although Ling'er suddenly appeared in front of her, she did not see Wu Fan's glaring and ferocious friend, so naturally she lost a lot of frightening and embarrassment.

"Master, you are back!"

Ling'er said happily as soon as she saw Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was very unhappy about Ling'er's good deeds just now, and said angrily:

"Nonsense, can you sit here if you don't come back?"

Ling'er was stunned when she heard this. Why did the master seem unhappy? Also, why did the master sit on the bed with his upper body naked? It's so strange.

Although she was strange in her heart, these questions were obviously not what Ling'er is concerned about at the moment. She also wanted to hear Wu Fan talk about the things on the battlefield, so she asked:

"Master, can you tell me something about the battlefield? Ling'er wants to hear it very much."

Wu Fan waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Mr. I'm tired, let's talk about it someday!"

Ling'er was bored, stuck out her tongue, and stepped back obediently. Seeing Cui Yingying who had just walked outside the door, Ling'er whispered:

"Madam, the master seems a little unhappy today. Did Ling'er do something wrong?"

Cui Yingying was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood and smiled and said:

"Don't worry about him, it's okay. By the way, go to the market to buy some meat and vegetables, make the dinner more abundant, and welcome the master."

Ling'er responded and left.

Cui Yingying returned to the bedroom and packed the mattress. Wu Fan took the opportunity to plan to reunite the previous relationship, but Cui Yingying naturally refused. Moreover, since she entered the house, she didn't know whether she was scared by a stranger or something, but Wu Fan, the originally glaring and ferocious guy, lost his previous arrogance and became listless. In the end, Wu Fan could only unwillingly grab Cui Yingying's buttocks and breasts, and it was all right.

This annoying slave must find her a husband-in-law to marry as soon as possible, so as not to ruin my good deeds in the future!

Wu Fan said in his heart that for the first time in his life, Wu Fan had the urge to be enthusiastic about making connections for other people's lifelong affairs.

After more than ten days of hard work, Wu Fan was also a little tired. Since he couldn't get together, Wu Fan simply fell asleep. He slept until dinner and had a full meal. After a full meal, there was naturally another rainy and cloud battle at night.

Three days later, Yuan Shao led all the soldiers who went to Hulao Pass to return to Nanpi. After receiving it, Wu Fan and a group of civil and military officials returned directly to the main hall of the palace.

In the main hall, Yuan Shao had to summarize this expedition, and naturally he would mention Wu Fan's outstanding performance during this period. After Tian Feng and other left-behind personnel learned that Wu Fan had chosen Hu Zhen and defeated Lu Bu, they were surprised. Tian Feng took this opportunity to make suggestions to Yuan Shao again, hoping to appoint Wu Fan as general.

This time, Yuan Shao did not hesitate and nodded, which was considered acquiescent. The reason is very simple:

First, Wu Fan's performance this time was indeed shocking. Even Yuan Shao, who had always looked down on the grassroots class, had to secretly admire him from the bottom of his heart. In terms of merit and reward is the most basic wise rule of employment for a monarch. Although Yuan Shao did not have any foresight, he still understood this basic principle.

Second, Wu Fan is now named "General Tiance" by the emperor. Although it is just a title, it is personally granted by the emperor after all. He is a free position as a lieutenant under his own hands. Isn't that a big deal? It's unreasonable to reason. Under such pressure, Wu Fan has to appoint a general.

Third, the third reason is that Yuan Shao's selfishness. Although Yuan Shao has always regarded himself very high and disdained to get along with the grassroots class, this does not mean that he has low IQ. Everyone can see that Wu Fan has some skills, and Yuan Shao can naturally see that. Especially after learning from Guo Tu that Wu Fan and Cao Cao had some friendship, Yuan Shao was very angry, but in order to avoid the outflow of talents, Yuan Shao had to use the method of increasing the welfare of official titles to retain Wu Fan.

For the above three reasons, Yuan Shao happily agreed to Tian Feng's request.

At present, Wu Fan is of the eighth rank, and there are four generals who can be appointed from high to low, namely: General Yamen, Guardian, General Bad General, and General Bad General. After Yuan Shao was appointed as General Yulin by Emperor Xian, he also promoted his official positions to his subordinates. Before that, General Yamen and Guardian were Yan Liang and Wen Chou respectively. At present, these two have been promoted to General Weinan and General Weibei. Therefore, Wu Fan was appointed as Guardian, directly commanding the monarch's guards and responsible for protecting the safety of the monarch in wartime.

Although the position of the Guardian is not very high, its role is very important because it is accompanied by the monarch during wartime.

From this appointment combined with Yuan Shao's consistent view of Wu Fan, we can see the contradiction of Yuan Shao's character: on the one hand, he looked down on Wu Fan's Kuhan background; on the other hand, he hoped that Wu Fan could spare no effort to protect his safety.

This contradictory idea of ​​employing people is an important reason why Yuan Shao's subordinates have few talented people.

The analysis of Yuan Shao's psychology was put aside in advance, and Tian Feng was naturally very happy about this appointment. Wu Fan was surprised, but he couldn't be happy no matter what. The reason was that he had the intention to leave now, but was promoted by Yuan Shao at this critical moment. Now things became very entangled.

This is Wu Fan’s belief in “loyalty and righteousness” is making a mistake.

The following discussion content was no longer nutritious, it was nothing more than the next step of Nanpi City's governance and military goals. Finally, the long meeting was finally over. After receiving the seal of the guards, Wu Fan walked out of the palace.

After saying goodbye to Tian Feng, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, three friends who had a good relationship with him, Wu Fan walked on the street in a daze, as if he was not promoted this time, but was dismissed as a commoner.

Walking aimlessly, a familiar voice suddenly came from my ears:

"General Wu? I didn't expect that we would meet here!"
