Yuan Fang even defeated Yuan Shao and had to ask the Zhen family to mediate and negotiate a peace. How could Zhen Yao dare to be arrogant and disdainful in front of Yuan Fang?
Even if he had disdain, how could he dare to show it in front of Yuan Fang?
Facing the world-famous Yuan Fang, the eldest son of the Zhen family who once believed in his nobility could only be extremely respectful, hoping not to offend his future brother-in-law.
"So it's Zhen Shidi, what kind of wind brings you to my plain?" Yuan Fang asked coldly, knowing the truth.
Zhen Yao smiled and said, "That's it. My father felt sorry for him when he saw the quarrel between Yuan Gong and Zhou Mu's father and son. Now for the sake of the people of the two states, Yao was specially sent to see Zhou Mu and want to mediate. I hope Zhou Mu and Yuan Gong can settle down on their own. The soldiers are at peace."
Before Yuan Fang said anything, Yan Liang had already scolded: "Mediation is nothing. Yuan Shao wanted to sue for peace, so he sent his own people, and he sent you to mediate in a roundabout way. It's like taking off his pants and farting."
Yan Liang is rough and rough, and when he looks unhappy, he swears, directly exposing the truth.
Zhen Yao's expression changed, and he was suddenly embarrassed and panicked. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and he didn't know how to respond.
Yuan Fang stared at the panicked Zhen Yao and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhen Shi, just tell the truth. Did Yuan Shao send you to sue for peace?"
"This" Zhen Yao squeaked, refusing to admit it.
Yuan Fang's face darkened, and he waved his hand and said: "Since we are not asking for peace, there is nothing to talk about. You can go back and tell Yuan Shao to wait for me and Gongsun Zan to divide his Jizhou."
Yuan Shao wants to sue for peace and face, but there is no such a good deal. Yuan Fangzi wanted to take the opportunity to scare Zhen Yao and force him to say the word "seeking peace".
Sure enough, Zhen Yao's expression changed with fright, and he hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhoumu calm down, in fact, it can also be said that Mr. Yuan wants to seek peace."
Yuan Fang glanced at Guo Jia, and a smile flashed in their eyes.
Yuan Fang's expression softened, and he snorted coldly: "If you want to seek peace, just say it clearly. Why do men beat around the bush? It's for the sake of the lives of the two states. I can consider agreeing to Yuan Shao's request and call it quits."
By forcing Zhen Yao to say the word "peace", Yuan Fang had the upper hand in terms of momentum and agreed to Yuan Shao's request, allowing Yuan Shao to withdraw and fight Gongsun Zan to the death. He can send troops south to capture Xuzhou. This is also in Yuan Fang's interests.
Zhen Yao saw that Yuan Fang was willing to negotiate peace. He was extremely happy in his heart and hurriedly complimented Yuan Fang. This attitude was different from his previous contempt and disdain for Yuan Fang. They are completely different.
Yuan Fang just sat there, staring at him with a sneer, watching his clown-like performance of flattery.
Zhen Yao seemed to have noticed Yuan Fang's sarcasm, so he had no choice but to put away his flattery, coughed a few times and said: "Since the two families want to reconcile, Yao thought that the high-ranking generals who had been detained for Zhou Mu would not know Zhou Mu." Can it be released?¡±
Yuan Fang was waiting for his words.
At that moment, Yuan Fangfang said: "Yuan Shao wants me to release his precious nephew, but he has to exchange it with me for another person."
"Who does Zhou Mu want to replace?" Zhen Yao asked suspiciously.
"It's Tian Feng who was imprisoned by Yuan Shao, and Tian Feng's family." Yuan Fang made the conditions.
Tian Feng is a loyal minister and extremely resourceful. The most important thing is that he was imprisoned by Yuan Shao because Yuan Fang upheld justice.
How could Yuan Fang not save such a loyal, brave and upright talent? He had saved the life of a senior official just in exchange for Tian Feng.
"Well" Zhen Yao hesitated.
Yuan Fang was stunned and said sternly: "Either Yuan Shao exchanges Tian Feng for a senior official, or he doesn't need to ask for peace. I will lead my troops into Yecheng and rescue Tian Feng from prison with my own hands."
Zhen Yaohe's figure was shaken again, and the cold sweat that he had wiped off just now was soaked in another layer in the blink of an eye.
After a long moment of panic, Zhen Yao could only say: "Yao can't make the decision on this matter, but don't worry, the state pastor, Yao will send someone to Yecheng immediately to ask for instructions. I think if Duke Yuan is kind, he will definitely agree to this condition."
Yuan Fang was satisfied, and his stern intimidation stopped. For Zhen Mi's sake, he gave Zhen Yao a good look and allowed him to go to the back hall to see Zhen Mi.
Zhen Yao thanked him again and again before he resigned and was introduced to the Houfu by Yuan Gui.
Stepping out of the lobby, a gust of draft swept through the hall. Zhen Yao shuddered fiercely. He subconsciously touched his back and realized that in just a moment, he had already been soaked in cold sweat.
"This Yuan Fang was an inconspicuous illegitimate child a year ago, and now he has done such earth-shattering things. I just met him. I see that he has a bit of a heroic aura. I am afraid that this aura will even attract Mr. Yuan." It¡¯s not as good as it could be. Could it be that my father was really wrong at the beginning"
In Zhen Yao¡¯s heart, he had deep feelings for Yuan Fang?The contempt has gone away, and gradually, a bit of respect has even developed.
"Brother." A joyful cry interrupted Zhen Yao's thoughts.
When I looked up, my sister Zhen Mi had come out of the room to welcome her.
"Little sister, everything is fine with you." Zhen Yao was also overjoyed and asked caring questions, fearing that his sister would be slighted by Yuan Fang.
"Everything is fine with me." Zhen Mi smiled and invited him into the room.
Yuan Gui did not disturb the brothers' gathering and retreated outside.
After some exchanges of greetings, Zhen Yao found out that instead of neglecting his sister, Yuan Fang treated her like a treasure and cherished her very much. He even handed over all the internal affairs of the state capital to Zhen Mi.
At this time, although Zhen Mi has not yet married Yuan Fang, her status is already that of the hostess of Qingzhou.
"Fortunately, he didn't treat his sister badly." Zhen Yao sighed with relief.
Zhen Mi smiled lightly and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me at all. Xian Zheng is a person who values ??affection and righteousness. He treats me very well. After eldest brother returns, I can reassure my father."
Zhen Yao nodded, but said regretfully: "Father originally wanted you to marry Yuan Xi in a glamorous manner, so that our Zhen family could have a backer, but we didn't expect that Yuan Fang, an anomaly like him, would show up halfway. Although he has won temporarily today, I am afraid that he will be defeated by Yuan Gong in the future, and you, my sister, will also be implicated."
In his heart, Zhen Yao still believed that Yuan Shao was powerful. Although Yuan Fang was powerful for a while, he was still no match for Yuan Fang in the end.
Zhen Yao smiled disdainfully and said confidently: "After so many things have happened, brother, don't you understand? Xianzheng is the dragon among men. Even the predicament like that at the beginning could not stop his rise. Brother, how can you Ask yourself, do you really think that with his current strength, Yuan Benchu ??will one day be able to destroy him? "
Zhen Yao's figure was shaken violently, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, a hint of shock as if he had been awakened.
Although Zhen Yao has the arrogance of a famous family, he is not stupid and still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Nowadays, Yuan Shao, a strong man, has been defeated by Yuan Fang one after another. The iron-clad fact has forced the Zhen family to re-evaluate Yuan Fang's value.
In fact, in Zhen Yao's view, Yuan Fang's reputation is still far inferior to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Fang's strength makes him worthy of being called a strong man.
Since Yuan Fang is also a strong man, why shouldn't the Zhen family change their strategy and seek the protection of a strong man like Yuan Fang?
The most important thing for a businessman is tangible benefits. Zhen Yao could not figure out the reason behind this.
However, Jizhou is still in the hands of Yuan Shao, which makes the Zhen family unable to make a choice.
"Brother, you have to believe in your sister's vision. One day, Xianzheng will capture Jizhou. Tell your father and ask him to take a long-term view and not support Yuan Shao. Otherwise, Xianzheng will have hatred. With a character who must retaliate, even I won¡¯t be able to save our Zhen family.¡±
Zhen Mi spoke earnestly and earnestly, as if she was giving an ultimatum to the Zhen family on behalf of Yuan Fang.
Of course, as the daughter of the Zhen family, how could Zhen Mi completely ignore the interests of the Zhen family? It was precisely for this reason that she did not hesitate to use such threatening words to wake up her father and brother, so that they should no longer blindly follow Yuan Shao and follow Yuan Shao. Yuan Fang continues to fight.
Zhen Yao was silent, lost in thought, and there was even a hint of reflection between his brows.
After thinking for a long time, Zhen Yao nodded and said, "I will remember my sister's words for my brother, and I will definitely convey them to my father."
Zhen Mi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped talking about these heavy topics. She only talked about family affairs and asked about her parents' affairs.
"Yuan Fang, considering Zhen Mi's face, was polite to Zhen Yao, and ordered his subordinates not to be lazy and treat him as a distinguished guest.
Zhen Yao urgently wrote a letter and sent a flying horse to Yecheng to inform Yuan Fang about using Tian Feng in exchange for senior officials to Yuan Shao.
As soon as Zhen Yao's letter went, Yuan Shao did not reply for seven days. Zhen Yao waited very anxiously, fearing that Yuan Shao would be angry and refuse, which would anger Yuan Fang and put him, the "mediator", in danger. .
Yuan Fang, however, was not in a hurry and waited patiently for Yuan Shao's reply.
Yuan Fang knew very well that although Yuan Shao treated him poorly, he valued his nephews who were of noble birth.
He remembered that in history, Yuan Shao even rejected Tian Feng's proposal because his son Yuan Mai was sick, which affected his mood, and did not take advantage of Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou to send troops south, thus missing an excellent opportunity.
Gao Gan came from a well-known family and was Yuan Shao's valued nephew, so Yuan Fang calculated that no matter how annoyed Yuan Shao was, he would eventually have to agree.
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhen Yao conveyed Yuan Shao's reply and agreed to Yuan Fang's conditions.
In view of Yuan Shao's repeated breach of trust, Yuan Fang insisted that he would only release Gao Gan back to Yecheng after Tian Feng and his family arrived in the plains, otherwise there would be no need to discuss it.
Zhen Yao had no choice but to send Yuan Fang's request to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao to make a decision.
After several rounds of bargaining, Yuan Shao had to accept Yuan Shao's conditions in order to save his precious nephew.
On this day of autumn, Tian Feng, who had been imprisoned for a long time, finally saw the light of day again. A family of more than 100 people were sent to Pingyuan by Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Zhoumu, Mr. Tian and his family are already outside the city and will be there soon. General Gao Gan" Zhen Yao hinted to Yuan Fang whether it was time to let Gao Gan go.
Yuan Fang¡¯s lips turned into an imperceptible sly look, and he sneered and shouted: ¡°Come here, bring me my cousin.¡± (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
