Qian Zhao said coldly: "A gentleman loves others for virtue. The emperor is in Chang'an. Although the Marquis of Wu is domineering, he has not intended to establish a new dynasty. Why should you be anxious? Moreover, the five virtues are regular. Since the Marquis of Wu is called Zhuque, he should be a fire virtue, and it is clear that he cannot be a king of the new dynasty. If Mr. Yan wants to be a minister who follows the dragon, he is afraid he will be disappointed."

Yan Zhi was slightly stunned and then laughed loudly. He bowed. "I heard that Qianjun studied with the great scholars for a long time and had a successful academic career. I admired him. I studied very little and did not understand the great principles. I only knew that Wu Hou could use people and was invincible in the battle. Yuan Benchu ​​regarded himself as a descendant of Emperor Shun, but in Guandu, he was defeated and died." Yan Zhi looked at Qian Zhao meaningfully, paused, and said, "Besides, I heard that Wu Hou was not good at studying, so it is unknown whether he believed in these five virtues."

"He doesn't believe it, it doesn't mean that the five virtues are wrong." Qian Zhao snorted, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and walked forward high, bowing farewell to Yan Zhi. Yuan Tan was anxious to wait for the Wuhuan cavalry to rescue the siege, and he had no time to chat with Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi pulled his horse away, watched Qianzhao pass by and gradually walked away, and then sang: "Qiangzhao, I hope your knowledge can educate the Wuhuan people, study more, and do not disturb the border and robbery at any time. It is also a merit to let the people of the three counties live a stable New Year."

Qian Zhao was slightly stunned, and he strangled his mount, looked back at Yan Zhi, and stopped talking. He raised his hand and continued to speed up the horse. The knights followed him and passed by Yan Zhi. Someone looked at Yan Zhi sideways, with complex eyes, but no one talked to Yan Zhi. They followed Qian Zhao all the way and hit a wall at Wuyan, knowing that the hard work along the way might be just in vain, and their emotions were a little depressed.

Seeing Qian Zhao and others leaving, Yan Zhi put away his smile, mouthed a crooked expression, and looked disdainful. He knew that his knowledge was shallow, and he only humiliated himself with the debate between Qian Zhao, so he pointed directly at the key points. Taishici wanted to turn Hu into Hua, and Yuan Tan wanted to win over the Hu people. It seemed that the means were similar, but the goals were different. Taishici was for the stability of the border and avoiding the suffering of the people, but Yuan Tan led the Hu people invaded. No matter how good Qian Zhao's knowledge was, he could not hide his merits for Yuan Tan.

Besides, the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people were not knowledgeable. They valued more the interests. Yuan Shao died in battle, Yuan Tan was defeated repeatedly, but Sun Ce decided to Liaodong in one battle. These Wuhuan people would not listen to Yuan Tan's invitation and provoke Sun Ce. If Taishi Ci could win the flag and defeat the Xianbei people, the situation in Youzhou would be clear, and even if the trick could tell the flowers, no one would listen to him.

Talking about a thousand and telling about ten thousand is still the most important thing.

Yan Zhi turned his horse's head and called the follower knight to follow him and walked towards Wuyan's pasture. No matter what, Qianzhao had just been there, he always had to check the situation so that Wuyan would change his mind and create branches outside the situation.

Halfway through, Yan Zhi received a message from Yan Rou. Taishici defeated Mijia from Baizhan tribe in Baizhan, beheaded more than 3,000 levels and captured more than 5,000 people. Mijia was killed in battle, and the elite troops of Baizhan tribe were almost destroyed.

Yan Zhi laughed loudly. He thought for a while, called a knight and asked him to turn around to chase Qianzhao, and told him the news. The knight took the order, turned his horse's head, and galloped away. Yan Zhi imagined Qianzhao's expression when he heard the news, and was in a better mood, unable to suppress his inner joy, and sang loudly. The knights heard that Yan Rou had made great contributions and knew that the Yan brothers' transformation this time was a wise decision. In the future, they could achieve fame and fortune, and they were also very excited. They followed Yan Zhi all the way.

He held the mount and looked at the knight who looked restrained but could not hide his complacent expression, and was speechless for a while.

"What nonsense?" The follower who was chasing the scout shouted loudly, glaring at the knight who came to report the news, wishing to draw his sword and chop him. They were already full of anger, and when they heard the news, they were even more angry and couldn't help but want to cut people. How could they be so boring? They rushed for hundreds of miles just to send a message and see our jokes?

Qianzhao was in a bad mood, but he was not so disobedient. He bowed his hand and expressed his gratitude to the knight, and sent some water and dry food to the knight. The knight thanked him, turned his horse's head and left, Qianzhao was speechless for a long time. He felt an indescribable sense of frustration. He originally thought that this was a rare opportunity, but he never thought that he had failed before he even started. Taishici wiped out the elite of the Hundred Battle Tribe in one battle, which was very much like Sun Ce. Thinking about his previous record of seriously injured Zhang He and joined forces with Guan Yu to kill Yan Liang, Qianzhao was both envious and regretful.

He believed that Yan Zhi would not be bored to deceive him with fake news, and he also believed that Taishi Ci had such ability. In front of the battle, the Han army knights were not weak. Taishi Ci received the support of Sun Ce and equipped the best weapons. The most famous elite cavalry in Youzhou, Baima Yicong and Yuyang Cavalry, helped him. Even Yan Rou acted as bait. All the advantages that a cavalry general could expect were concentrated in Taishi Ci's hands. How could it be invincible?

If it were me, this battle would have been a complete victory.

Qian Zhao sighed secretly and kicked the horse forward.

Lushuixi, Wuhuan stationed in the pastoral land in Youbeiping.

Yan Zhi tied his mount and looked up at the undulating mountains in the distance, and a faint sense of pleasure arose at the corner of his mouth. He knew that along the river was Lu Longsai, the Great Wall, and there were thousands of households behind the Great Wall. This year, they could have a safe New Year.

Along the way, the Wuhuan people's tents were covered with river valleys, and their eyes were filled with awe. He knew that these Wuhuan people must have received news of Taishici's victory, for fear that Taishici would take the opportunity to attack their ranch and would not be able to protect themselves, so they would have no confidence to rob.

These barbarians are indeed unbearable and obedient, and they are gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and frugal.

More than a dozen fast horses were galloping from a distance, stopping in front of Yan Zhi and his party, the war horses were turning around, and the knights on the horse's back greeted him enthusiastically. Yan Zhi looked at it carefully, and the smile on his lips became stronger. Wu Yan actually went out to greet him in person. This was the first time. When he came here last time, Wu Yan was just standing outside the big tent to greet him, which was considered an extra courteous treatment.

Yan Zhi kicked forward and responded enthusiastically. "How can I bear it if I welcome you with me, sir?"

"You can bear it, you can bear it." Wu Yan laughed and hugged Yan Zhi's arm affectionately. "Did you encounter a pulling move?"

"I met it, two years ago, Bailang Mountain."

"I didn't agree to him." Wu Yan scratched his hair, his thick fingers shaved his greasy face, and his shaved beard rustled. "If I promise you, I will never break my promise, even if Yuan Tan gave me more gifts."

Yan Zhi smiled slightly. The cunning Wu Yan wanted to accept gifts from both sides, but the situation is different now. With Taishi Ci's knife, you can't blackmail it. "Sir, you did it right. Yuan Tan can't give gifts to others now. At most, it's a few empty words. If you believe him, you will be fooled."

Wu Yan blinked his eyes, a little embarrassed, and then laughed. "Yes, yes, the Yuan family is in danger of protecting themselves, so where can I give me any benefits? Brother Yan, when will I recommend it to the Grand Historian Governor, so that I can also meet this hero from the Central Plains?"

Yan Zhi looked at Wu Yan. "Sir, really want to meet the Grand Historian?"

"Of course." Wu Yan's chest slapped loudly. Although it was winter, he was wearing a martened cloak, looking like he was not afraid of the cold. However, it can be seen from the sound that his robe was wearing iron armor. It was too cold in winter. These Wu Huan people like to cover a leather robe outside the iron armor to prevent the iron armor from being cold and sticking to the skin on their hands. However, under normal circumstances, Wu Yan would not wear it like this at his own station. The Wu Huan people are ordinary in iron smelting techniques. The iron armor is relatively heavy, inconvenient to move, and the edges are not smooth enough. The fur coat covered outside is easily worn. "We people on the grassland admire the warrior the most. The Grand Historian killed Mika and defeated Suli. I admire such a warrior very much. I naturally want to see such a warrior."

Yan Zhi's heart moved. Taishici defeated Suli? Suli was an adult of the Wild Boar Tribe and a warrior among the Xianbei people. In several battles between the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people, many Wuhuan people suffered from Suli. Taishici defeated the Wild Boar Tribe after annihilated the Hundred Battle Tribe. This action speed was really fast.

"Sir, you are very informative." Yan Zhi smiled meaningfully.

Wu Yan laughed twice, but he couldn't laugh at all. Taishici came out of Lu Longsai, defeated Mijia in Baitanshan, and defeated Suli on Rushui. The corpses of the wild boar tribe flowed along Rushui to his tribe, causing panic. He couldn't even sleep, for fear that Taishici would lift it up for a moment, kill him along Rushui, and take over his tribe. One day earlier, meeting Taishici and establishing relationships, the safety of the tribe would be more guaranteed. But he was embarrassed to ask for a meeting, and it was the best way to pass the introduction of the Yan brothers.

"I can recommend the Grand Master to the Grand Master, but I don't know what kind of gifts I can bring out." Yan Zhi said slowly: "You also know that the Grand Master's lord is Wu Hou. The Grand Master occupied the Central Plains and was rich in the world. Most of the merchants who do business in Youzhou are from the Central Plains. Ordinary gifts cannot be reached into the eyes of the Grand Master. If it were the past, the Grand Master would take out hundreds of horses, but now the Grand Master defeated Mijia and Suli, and the captured war horses are unknown, it is probably not enough for you to take a few hundred horses."

Wu Yan's face twitched twice. He was regretting this. The last time Yan Zhi came, he advised him to send troops to help, but he did not agree. Yan Zhi advised him to send hundreds of horses to Taishi Ci, and promised him that Taishi Ci would not treat him badly and would definitely repay the gift. He still didn't agree. The situation has changed now, and even if he agreed, it would be useless.

"I prepared a special gift for the Grand Historian." Wu Yan grinned, smiling and not smiling. "He will definitely like it."

Yan Zhi was very curious. "Is that true?"

Wu Yan didn't say anything and led Yan Zhi to the big tent. Outside the big tent were several young women kneeling, with their fur coats stripped off, wearing only the middle clothes, and tied their hands behind their backs. They knelt in the snow mud in front of the tent, their faces turned blue and their lips were purple. Yan Zhi saw at a glance that these women were the clan daughters and dowry maids that Yuan Shao had married Wu Yan before.

Wu Yan turned over and dismounted, came to the woman, and lifted her chin with a horse whip. "I'm going to present this woman to the Grand Historian to show sincerity. Do you think it's OK?" (The Little Overlord of the Three Kingdoms
