With Yan Xiang's words, Yuan Yao understood the value of these grains.

However, although Yan Xiang said it lightly, in the past few months, I am afraid that he must have been exhausted from all the busy work. After all, it is more than 100,000 shi of food, placed together, it can pile up like a mountain.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan. I will first thank Mr. Yan on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan."

With that said, Yuan Yao was about to kneel down to Yan Xiang. After all, those who can raise food for disaster relief at such a moment are worthy of Yuan Yao's respect both in public and private matters.

"Oh, sir, I can't do it!"

When Yan Xiang saw Yuan Yao saluting him, he was flattered for a moment and quickly stopped Yuan Yao's behavior.

However, Yuan Yao still bowed to Yan Xiang.

With this batch of food and grass, Yuan Yao can at least feel at ease temporarily.

In a short period of time, his men and horses should not be short of food, and there may even be a surplus that can be used to provide relief to the victims.

The subsequent conversation with the other party changed from food and grass to recent situations.

He first talked to Yan Xiang about his situation when he was defending Cao's army in Zhu County.

This provoked Yan Xiang to praise him repeatedly, saying that Yuan Yao would become a great person in the future.

After all, in this era, we can rely on only a few thousand troops to withstand an attack by tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Such a record is still worth showing off, but not everyone has such ability.

Among the many generals under Yuan Shu's command, none of them had such a brilliant record without exception.

But now Yuan Yao was able to rely on thousands of weak soldiers to hold off Cao Cao's attack of tens of thousands of elite soldiers for half a month, and even forced Cao Cao's army back and pursued Cao Cao's territory.

Not only did he disrupt Cao Cao's attack, he was even able to kill tens of thousands of his troops. Such achievements, even if placed in the court, would definitely cause an uproar.

This time Yuan Yao returned to Shouchun, and of course he would also be rewarded by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Yao then told Yan Xiang what he had done in Runan County.

This made Yan Xiang feel overjoyed again. By doing this, Yuan Yao directly took Runan County firmly into his hands.

Even if Runan is taken back by Yuan Shu, based on what Yuan Yao did in Runan, Yuan Yao's control over Runan is much stronger than Yuan Shu.

In addition, in this battle of Huaibei, Yuan Shu's strength has been weakened a lot. Yuan Yao can take back Runan, which can be regarded as saving some face for Yuan Shu.

With Yuan Yao's ability, if he wants Runan from Yuan Shu, it is impossible for Yuan Shu not to give it.

After all, this is the territory that Yuan Yao fought back himself.

"My lord, when you come back this time, your majesty will definitely reward you in order to convince the public. I think you can take the opportunity to ask for Runan from his majesty, so that you can sit in Runan and become the prefect of Runan."

"As long as the Lord can manage Runan well and plot Yuzhou, even if His Majesty dies in the future, it will be extremely easy to march into Huainan."

As Yuan Yao's chief adviser, Yan Xiang still thinks about Yuan Yao. What kind of place is Runan? It is Yuan Shu's basic base and the foundation of Yuan Shu's rise. Although Yuan Shu later went to Huainan, Runan was also very fond of Yuan Shu.

important.

If it hadn't been taken over by Cao Cao, the Yuan clan in Runan would still have very strong control over Runan.

"I have this plan to gradually strengthen myself based on Runan."

"There are still things that need to be done to rejuvenate Shouchun this time, but they are mainly for three things."

"The first is to ask for credit from my father. I have done a great job in defeating Cao Cao this time. I think if I need some official positions and rewards, my father will probably allow it."

"The second is to sow discord between my father and Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun has no ambitions and only knows how to fight among himself. This time when dealing with Lu Bu, he had many soldiers. Instead of being able to block Lu Bu's attack, he was beaten by others.

We were retreating steadily, and what's even more annoying is that when I was confronting Cao Cao, I asked him for help, but he didn't send a single soldier."

"It's really hateful. If I hadn't tried so hard to block Cao Cao's army, whether I could have come back alive this time would have been two different things."

"As for the third point, I just want Mr. Rang to go to Runan to help me."

Yuan Yao now has his own foundation and has many things to do in Runan. It is not his character for Yuan Yao to do everything by himself.

You have to know people and make good use of them. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, his energy is limited.

What's more, he can't handle many trivial matters in managing internal affairs, but Yan Xiang is the leader among them. Although he is not as talented as Wang Zuo like Xun Yu, Yan Xiang must be eighty or even ninety years old in handling internal affairs.

point.

With Yan Xiang going to Runan to help him, Yuan Yao was able to conquer the world without any worries.

Yan Xiang had already taken refuge with Yuan Yao. In fact, he had wanted to stay with Yuan Yao for a long time. Yuan Yao had dissuaded him from staying in Shouchun. Now Yuan Yao offered to let him go to Runan. He suddenly looked confused.

I was so happy that I never thought of rejecting it.

"Lord, that's great. If I can help you, I'll have something to do, and I won't have to sit idle in Shouchun."

Yan Xiang was not among Yuan Shu's core staff. Although he held the official position of chief registrar, he basically had nothing to do on weekdays.

"In that case, let's make an agreement. After we pay homage to our father, we can set off for Runan. The mess in Runan still needs help from you, Mr. Yan. Next, we will rely on you, Mr. Yan.

Already."

Yuan Yao couldn't help but compliment him again, asking Yan Xiang to find his own position. At the moment, Yuan Yao really lacked someone around him who could advise him.

The two discussed how to ask for rewards and how to sow discord against Zhang Xun when they met with Yuan Shu in the court tomorrow. It was not until night that they finally left Yan Xiang's mansion.

By the time he returned to Yuan Yao's mansion, it was already late at night.

Yuan Yao arranged for Tai Shici and the guards he brought to stay temporarily in his mansion, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Yuan Yao has not lived in this Shouchun mansion a few times. He originally lived in the Prince's Mansion. Unfortunately, he was later deposed from the position of Prince, so he moved out from the Prince's Mansion and temporarily stayed in a house not far from the Imperial Palace in Shouchun City.

Stay.

But fortunately, as a prince, the mansion is not too small. Counting some family members and maids, there are more than ten people in the mansion.

Although Yuan Yao has not lived here much, the palace subsidizes Yuan Yao every month by distributing monthly money. It is more than enough to support everyone in the house, and there is still a lot left over.

A night of silence.

Yuan Yao got up early the next morning, because today he had to go to the palace in time for the morning court and be summoned by his father.

Originally, he should have gone back to Shouchun yesterday, but Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu didn't have much affection, and he also wanted to plan with Yan Xiang on how to plot against Zhang Xun, so he wasn't in such a hurry.
