Chapter 416 Huge Influence

It was a complicated undercover operation for Yuan Tan to break into the black bandits.

Some preparation time is required.

Outsiders are not aware of this secret operation of the Yuan family.

...

Beidi is deeply caught in a frenzy of eating melons.

Watermelon is a fruit.

But in this scorching summer, when it first landed in Middle-earth, its influence is enormous.

Not only does it affect the Yuan family's area, but it also radiates to the whole world.

Xuzhou and Xiapi City are the administrative offices, that is, the provincial capital.

In ancient times, especially in the distant era of the Three Kingdoms.

The importance of the provincial capital city far exceeds that of the future.

Most of the state's reserves of money and food are often concentrated here.

Often such a city is breached, and the war in the entire state is basically over.

All strategies and tactics are designed around such a city. Even the big battles that took place at the strategically important points of Xiongguan were to open the way to these cities.

Xiapi City, State Shepherd's Mansion.

Today is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and no one dares to stand up against the Han Dynasty.

The princes didn't listen to the edict, and they only secretly obeyed and violated it. They basically recognized the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Bei, as a clan member, is still very popular in Xuzhou.

The Yuan family is also very popular under the rule.

But it is different from Liu Bei.

Most of Liu Bei's popular support comes from the signboard of his clan.

The Yuan family, on the other hand, comes from the prestige of the four generations and three princes of their own centuries, and the great popularity of Yuan Tan today.

Based on this person's opinion, Wang Yun and others would not dare to deal with the Yuan family like Dong Zhuo.

Liu Bei also knew the importance of clan status, so he hugged him tightly.

The first thing we met was that Bei was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan...

He is very low-key, and his signature is very high-profile, which makes people admire him involuntarily and is willing to associate with him.

State Shepherd House.

The sun is shining, and the golden cicadas are roaring.

Got it, got it~.

Inside the thatched cottage dedicated to cool off.

There are no walls and other shelters everywhere, and there is ventilation everywhere.

Zhang Fei was wearing an undershirt, with his arms open, and sat on the cool floor, his head was sweating profusely with a big cattail fan constantly blowing the wind inside.

Xia Lian Sanjiu is nonsense to him.

If you still practice in this kind of weather, it will be too debilitating.

And Guan Yu, sitting on the side, stroking his beard, didn't have a drop of sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Fei was amazed, but the second elder brother said that this is called calmness and coolness, which is simply incomprehensible.

"Second brother, third brother!"

Someone came with their hands behind their backs, their ears hung down their shoulders, and they walked like a pendulum.

Zhang Fei sighed, it's better to be a big brother, with such big ears and a cattail fan, I'm not as good as that.

Liu Bei lived a very chic life during this time. He inherited Xuzhou from Tao Qian, and the Xuzhou gentry also supported his clan.

For example, Chen Deng and the others work hard. It is a group of people headed by Cao Bao who always treat him perfunctorily.

Mi Zhu, a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, even spent all his wealth to help him recruit soldiers and horses. Recently, he even married his younger sister Mi Huan to him.

That Mi ring is really beautiful.

Liu Bei spent half his life as a soldier, and he enjoyed beautiful wives and beautiful concubines there. Every time he wanted to come, he wished he could get married right away.

It's just that this matter was brought up recently, if they get engaged or get married next month.

As a vassal of Liu Bei's clan, he needs face, and the Mi family's big family also needs face.

It will take more than half a year.

After Lu Bu came to vote, Liu Bei placed him in Xiaopei, who was actually a pawn.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others did not dare to face Xuzhou squarely.

"Brother, has the watermelon been delivered yet?" Zhang Fei shouted.

He didn't yell loudly on purpose, in fact, he was already talking loudly, and he couldn't do it all day long.

Liu Bei took out his hands behind his back, one melon in each hand, two steps away from the table, and he could put it down.

The ability of gibbons should not be underestimated.

In fact, Liu Bei's military strength is not very good, but he can also kill generals and kill enemies. This wingspan is indispensable.

According to Yuan Tan, although Liu Bei is only 1.8 meters, but with this wingspan, he can definitely play a center forward when playing basketball.

Defensive gate.

People can touch what you can't touch. This is an advantage.

A big green watermelon appeared.

Zhang Fei excitedly said: "Hey, what a melon, it smells fresh even before opening it, and it's the same color as my second brother's hat."

Guan Gong also opened his eyes, and when the watermelon entered his eyes, his mind was obviously moved.

Liu Bei sat down, "This is the watermelon you've been dreaming of for a long time. Chen Deng bought it from Yecheng, and Yuan Tan planted it. Now it's popular all over the world."

After finishing speaking, his expression was depressed.

Uncle Liu's lofty ambitions naturally need no explanation.

And Yuan Tan, from the beginning of the battle for hegemony in Jizhou, was like a mountain, pressing him down.

Uncle Huang felt that he had been living in someone's shadow.

Why do I feel this way, I don't know.

Click, click, kill the watermelon.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Hey, it's really like beheading, and it's red..."

The smell of watermelon, in the hot summer, even if you haven't eaten it before, you can't resist the instinct to eat it.

The three of them just wanted to eat watermelon today.

Not hypocritical.

It is not distributed according to size like Tom and Jerry, but evenly distributed.

One plate per person.

Look at each other, then, let's eat.

Liu Bei picked up a piece, took a bite, and nodded deeply.

Guan Yu picked up a piece and took a bite too, hmm, his eyes opened even wider.

And Zhang Fei.

"Hey! It's delicious!"

The wind swept through the clouds, puff puff puff, sporadic.

In one breath, he ate all the five pieces of melon in front of him.

Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts - a piece of cake, it seems that eating watermelon is the same.

Wiping his mouth with his big sleeve, "Young Master is really extraordinary. I think of the white rabbit toffee, which is the sweetest delicacy in the world. It is the same with watermelon now."

As he said that, he took out a icing from his bosom and looked at the lifelike white rabbit on it, full of memories.

Liu Bei's eyes widened, what's going on? How many years has it been and the icing is still there?

Guan Yu stroked his beard, "Third brother, you must have a backbone." What does it mean to keep one of this?

"Yes." Zhang Fei put the white rabbit icing back, rolled his eyes, and when he turned his head away, his hand touched Guan Yu's plate.

snap~

Guan Yu's powerful big hand grabbed his wrist.

Zhang Fei chuckled and took it back.

Shaoqing.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu ate melons one bite at a time.

Seeing how they were enjoying themselves, Zhang Fei said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, what does this watermelon taste like?"

"Didn't you eat just now?" Guan Yu said with a look of disgust.

"I ate too fast and didn't taste the taste."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other, and they were so eager to eat without tasting the taste?

Immediately, they used their wide Hanfu sleeves to cover the watermelon on their plate, and continued to eat with their backs to Zhang Fei.

"Brother, is there any more?" Zhang Fei scratched his heart with all his claws, really wanting to eat another one, so he had to ask.

Liu Bei sighed, "Third brother, it's not that my brother won't let you eat more, nor can I afford it. It's really that this watermelon is very precious. It's already worth two cents a catty when it's delivered to us. city."

He said again: "My brother can't enjoy it alone, and needs to be rewarded to officials from all over the country. It's gone."

Zhang Fei scratched his forehead, "Big brother and second brother, aren't you angry with Yuan Tan? Why do you still eat his food? Why don't you give it to me."

Liu Bei frowned tightly. There was such a saying at the beginning, and he said lightly: "Watermelon is not guilty."

Zhang Fei opened his mouth wide.

Guan Yu spat out a watermelon seed and said, "Of course."

It's okay, Zhang Fei was pissed off, knowing that it would be troublesome to deal with the second brother, so he went straight to Liu Bei.

Where Liu Bei's strength can resist Zhang Fei, even the plate was snatched away.

Zhang Fei laughed and left.

Liu Bei was furious, but thought he had nothing to eat.

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, and first put the half-eaten watermelon on Liu Bei's desk. However, he hurriedly got up, took the three big pieces on the plate, and left.

Liu Bei: o(>﹏

...

Tongguan.

It is the east gate of Chang'an.

Since Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to the east, Li Jue and Guo Si were beheaded by Cao Cao, and Zhang Jinan went down to Wancheng. Dong Zhuo's old department, or Li Jue and Guo Si's old department, had no leader among the dragons, and they were all unconvinced.

They have become a rebellious army and are no longer recognized by the world as the Xiliang army.

And Ma Teng's men became the authentic Xiliang Army.

Seeing an opportunity, Ma Teng sent his son Ma Chao and general Pang De to seize the northern part of Yongzhou, but he was unable to capture Chang'an, which was controlled by the rebel army.

Chang'an became a den of the rebel army, and the people suffered terribly.

The confrontation between Ma Teng and the rebellious army gave Cao Cao an opportunity.

He was full of confidence in capturing Chang'an.

On this day, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an.

Under the mountain-like sealing mound.

Cao Cao looked at the huge tomb of the first emperor in the world, thinking.

"My lord, good news from Jizhou. Zhang Yan really lived up to his entrustment and completely restrained the Yuan family's army." Sima Yi rode his horse and came galloping.

He got off his horse from the saddle far away, came to the front, and bowed respectfully.

This is good news for Cao Cao, who can go all out to attack Chang'an without any scruples.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the young man in front of him. He was a very low-key man and an ambitious man.

Why did Cao Cao see it so clearly?

How arrogant Sima Yi was when he became an official, but after being attacked by Yuan Tan, he immediately kept a low profile.

Such drastic changes are impossible for people without ambition.

Sima Yi had to guard against it, and he had to use it.

"My lord, this is the famous watermelon, planted by Yuan Tan." Sima Yi took out a big watermelon from his bulging pocket.

Shaoqing.

Cao Cao ate watermelon while everyone was waiting on him.

After taking a bite, he closed his eyes.

Everyone just thought they were enjoying this delicious delicacy.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed, "I should have a son like Yuan Xiansi. If I have such a son, why worry about the world's injustice?"

Sima Yi: (╯╰)

He swore that one day, sooner or later, he would pull that man named Yuan Tan off the altar and make that woman named Zhang Chunhua regret it.
