The person who came to deliver the surrender document to Yuan Shao this time was a young man of about 20 years old. This man was handsome in appearance, wearing a jade crown, a long gown, and a jade belt around his waist. He was originally a handsome young man, but at this moment he stood
Yuan Shao's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. He was Han Qi, the eldest son of Jizhou Mu Han Fu. He not only inherited his father Han Fu's appearance, but also inherited his father Han Fu's timidity and cowardice.
This time he went to Liyang to see Yuan Shao. It was on the order of his father Han Fu that he came to ask for Yuan Shao's surrender. Of course, Han Fu could also send others to come, but he knew that his father was afraid that Yuan Shao would be suspicious of this. Besides, he came here today to ask for Yuan Shao's surrender.
Yuan Shao expressed his father's sincerity, so that even if Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he would at least be lenient to their family.
"The general has arrived!" As the guards outside shouted, Han Qi quickly stood up and looked towards the door, only to see a tall, middle-aged man with a long beard walking in wearing a helmet and armor.
His steps were sonorous and powerful, and every step he took showed strong self-confidence, which made Han Qi in the hall suddenly feel a huge pressure.
"I have met my lord!" All the civil and military officials in Jizhou waited for Yuan Shao to enter the hall, then followed him in and saluted Yuan Shao together. Yuan Shao waved his hand and said majestically: "Everyone, please stand up!" Everyone stood up and followed the rules of left and right.
People were standing on both sides of the hall. At this time, Yuan Shaocai looked at Han Qi, his eyes full of expectation.
At this time, Han Qi quickly bowed to Yuan Shao and said respectfully: "Han Qi, the envoy of Jizhou Muhan Envoy, has met the general!" Yuan Shao nodded and said with a smile: "The envoy does not need to be polite! Get up quickly!"
"Thank you so much, General!" Han Qi stood up straight, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, held it out with both hands, bowed and said: "This is the invitation letter from Han Shijun! General is invited to act as Jizhou's shepherd.
One position!”
Yuan Shao glanced at his eldest son Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan understood and strode forward to take the cloth from Han Qi's hand. Although Han Qi said it was an invitation, everyone knew that it was just a letter asking for surrender.
It's just that Yuan Shao and Han Fu are not enemy countries, so they didn't ask for surrender. Besides, this is just a step up that Han Fu has found for himself!
Although Yuan Tan was holding the cloth, Yuan Shao did not take it, and there was no joy on his face. He just looked sighing and confused. But Yuan Tan stood next to Yuan Shao, and he could clearly see that his father's mouth was not paying attention just now.
He moved a little, which was an expression of ecstasy, but his father's palace was deep in the city and no one paid attention. "What does Han Shijun mean by this? How can I, Yuan Shao, and I, Yuan Shao, be able to take on this important task? Forgive me for not obeying your order."
!" Yuan Shao quickly waved his hand and said. Many people among the civil and military officials were shocked. This military expedition was obviously to gain control of Jizhou. Now Han Fu sent envoys to invite them to take over Jizhou, but the lord actually declined. What does this mean? But there are also many people.
People already know the meaning of Yuan Shao's excuse. He doesn't want the world to say that Yuan Shao bullies the weak and takes advantage of others!
Han Qi was stunned for a moment, but he understood in an instant that this was Yuan Shao's deliberate pretense for others to see. Han Qi despised Yuan Shao's hypocrisy in his heart, and said loudly: "General,
Since my father took up the post of Jizhou Mu, he has had sleepless nights and sleepless nights. He knows that his moral integrity is not enough to shoulder the important responsibilities of the imperial court. Nowadays, the border situation is serious, the Yellow Turban bandits are plundering again, and Cao Cao's army is eyeing Puyang again.
, My father knows that he is unsustainable and has lost the trust of the imperial court. He specially asked the general to take charge of Jizhou and assume the important responsibility of protecting the country and the people. As an important minister of the imperial court, he is responsible for the safety of the world. I hope the general will not refuse!
"
Yuan Shao sighed, shook his head and said: "I appreciate the kindness of Ambassador Han, but the post of state pastor is an official position of the imperial court and is granted by your majesty. How can it be given to each other privately?" Han Qi snorted in his heart.
He said loudly: "General, as early as a few days ago, my father has recommended to your majesty that the general should serve as the pastor of Jizhou! I believe that in the near future, there will be an imperial edict from the imperial court!" Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao said with a wry smile on his face:
"Hey, I don't know what to say?" At this time, Feng Ji knew that the time was almost up, and hurriedly bowed forward and said: "I implore the lord to take the people as his own responsibility and take over Jizhou!" Feng Ji took the lead and Jizhou
The civil and military officials also hurriedly requested loudly: "I beg you, my lord, to take the people as your own responsibility and take over Jizhou!" Yuan Shao glanced at the civil and military officials below who were pleading, and sighed: "You are trying to make me unjust!"
Although Fengji, Yuan Tan, Han Qi and many others knew that Yuan Shao was just showing off, when Yuan Shao agreed, everyone was relieved, while Han Qi was relieved, but he
I also felt an inexplicable loss. After all, I used to be the young master of Jizhou, but now I have to rely on others, and I still feel a little lonely in my heart. However, when everyone is a sword and I am a fish, Han Qi does not dare to say anything more!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yuan Shao smiled and said to Han Qi: "My nephew, you have worked hard all the way here. I will let Tan'er take my nephew down to rest later, and I will take care of my nephew later!" Han Qi hurriedly said
He bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Since Yuan Shao had already called himself his nephew, there was no need for Han Qi to refuse to accept it. Besides, Han Qi came here just for his future plans.
At this time, Yuan Tan stepped forward, cupped his fists in front of Han Qi and said, "Brother Han, please!" Han Qi cupped his hands, bowed to Yuan Shao, and followed Yuan Tan out.
As soon as Han Qi left, Yuan Shao also waved away the excited civil and military officials and then said to Feng Ji beside him: "What does Yuan Tu think of Han Qi?" Feng Ji thought for a moment.
Then he said: "Although this man is cowardly and timid, he is extremely smart and much stronger than Han Fu! If the lord does not control it, there will definitely be trouble in the future!" When Yuan Shao heard this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
He said, "Leave this matter to Yuan Tu!" When Feng Ji heard this, he nodded and said, "My subordinates will certainly live up to their mission!" "Then leave it to Yuan Tu!" Yuan Shao said solemnly.
.
In June of 191 AD, which was the second year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty, Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, wrote to Liu Bian, the emperor of Chang'an in Xijing, asking Yuan Shao to serve as the shepherd of Jizhou. Dong Zhuo agreed. In July of the same year, Yuan Shao held a handover ceremony in Yecheng and officially became the governor of Jizhou.
Mu, then appointed Han Fu as General Fenwei, and Ju Shue as General Fenwu, Shenpei as Zhizhong, Fengji as Biejia, Guo Tu, Xu You and others as counselors, while Liu Bei served as the governor of Bohai County. At the same time,
