Chapter 14 Good birds choose wood to perch

He had long expected Hao Zhao to react violently, and Yuan Mai also took a step back and bowed: "Don't worry, Bo Dao, I have no malice. I was sent by Mrs. Zheng to find you."

"Mrs. Zheng? Are you talking about aunt?"

Hao Zhao is the son of Zheng Yu's sister and brother-in-law's family. According to relatives, he should call Zheng "auntie".

"It's her, this is the handwritten letter written to you by the lady."

Yuan Mai used a peaceful tone to dispel Hao Zhao's hostility, while handing over Zheng Yu's handwritten letter.

Hao Zhao did not relax his vigilance, took Yuan Mai's letter and took a few steps back, and then hurriedly looked at it in the bright moonlight.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the fourth son of the Yuan Jizhou family, but I can't figure it out. One of you brothers drove me out of the military camp, and even the groom didn't let me do it. He also sent personal soldiers to intercept me halfway. The other said he wanted to use me to work together to make great achievements. What kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?" Holding the letter in his hand, Hao Zhao asked with caution.

I was exhausted at this moment, and the other party's archery technique was so accurate that if the other party came to kill me, I was afraid that I would never survive. However, if the other party had malicious intentions, why bother to do this? This made Hao Zhao unable to guess Yuan Mai's intention!

"Hao Bo said, don't be nervous, let me tell you things slowly."

Yuan Mai tells the story of today and tells in detail how Zheng Yu offended Yuan Shang and his son during the meal. It is believed that Yuan Shang drove Hao Zhao out of the military camp in order to vent his anger. Maybe he was worried that killing Hao Zhao would cause trouble, so he sent his confidant to ambush Hao Zhao halfway.

Finally, in order to gain Hao Zhao's favor, Yuan Mai added fuel to the air and said that he and Zheng Yu were indignant about Hao Zhao's secret plea and were put in the stable as a groom. He was just too willing but not enough. Not only did he fail to help Hao Zhao, but he offended the Liu family and his son.

"So that's it. Zhao's words were reckless just now, and he bumped into the young master. Please forgive me. Zhao couldn't repay his kindness in the past. Today he took the risk to save Hao Zhao's life, which was like creating a new parent. Please accept Zhao's worship."

After hearing Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao's suspicion no longer existed. He knelt on one knee and wanted to thank Yuan Mai.

Seeing that he had gained Hao Zhao's trust, Yuan Mai was very happy and hurriedly supported Hao Zhao and said, "Bo Dao should not be polite!"

But Hao Zhao was very strong, and Yuan Mai couldn't hold him back. Hao Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times before getting up.

"Alas, although I was rescued by the young master, there is no place for Hao Zhao to live in Jizhou. I can't say that Zhao still has to go south and surrender to Prime Minister Cao's army in order to gain half an inch of fame."

Thanking Yuan Mai, Hao Zhao felt extremely tired, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and sighed.

Yuan Mai simply sat cross-legged with Hao Zhao: "Bo Dao's words are bad. With me Yuan Mai, Jizhou will have a place for you, Hao Bo Dao. I have been named a general by my father and serve as the supervisor of the Northern Expedition Army of Qu Yi. Today, seeing your skills, I am really a powerful general. I am going to recruit 500 new recruits these days. How about you be the commander?"

Hao Zhao was very surprised when he heard this, but when he remembered that Yuan Shang had to kill him today, he was worried and said very disgusted: "Thank you, young master, for your love. But Yuan Shang hated me so much. He was in control of the military power in Jizhou. I am afraid that you and your aunt will implicate you. After thinking about it, I should go south to join Prime Minister Cao..."

At this moment, a hare flew past the grass. Yuan Mai was quick-eyed and his hands were quick. He bent his bow and arrow and shot the rabbit over with an arrow. He laughed at Hao Zhao and said, "I'm so hungry. You and I make fire and barbecue, eat and chat. Listen to me to analyze the situation carefully for you. How about it?"

"Okay, there's a pot of turbid wine in my bag, so let's drink with the hare, so let's have fun."

Hao Zhao laughed and stood up, found his bag, took out a sheepskin wine bag from it, then peeled the hare, searched for a pile of dry firewood, and set the fire, and the two sat together to roast the hare.

"I heard that the fourth young master is weak and sick all year round, and has no power to tie a chicken. It is ridiculous to see him today. The young master's archery technique is really superb, and he admires it very much."

While roasting the hare, Hao Zhao sincerely praised Yuan Mai for a few words.

Yuan Mai smiled and said with a profound expression: "People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads. The Liu family and his son regard me as a thorn in their eyes. I can only do that, otherwise I will not live today."

After hearing Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao became respectful and admired Yuan Mai's scheming. He thought, seeing that he was so scheming at a young age, he was really a genius with both civil and military skills. Such a person will definitely be able to do great things in the future.

Hao Zhao handed the wine bag in his hand to Yuan Mai: "There are no wine glasses in the mountains and wilderness. If the young master does not think Hao Zhao is despicable, let's share the bag to drink!"

"good!"

Yuan Mai agreed and took the wine bag from Hao Zhao and drank it hard. Although it was not very delicious, Yuan Mai knew that he should show a sense of pride at this time so that he could win the hearts of the people.

"Bo Dao, you just said to go south and join Cao Cao. I ask you, is there anyone who recommends it?"

Yuan Mai handed the wine bag in his hand to Hao Zhao and asked with a serious look on his face.

Hao Zhao shook his head helplessly: "There is no one to recommend him, Hao Zhao can only try his luck."

"Bo Dao, the world is as dark as crows. You are here, and you can't stand out if you have a wife's introduction. Where can you go to Cao Mengde? Who can guarantee that he will use you? Besides, Cao Mengde has a lot of talents, good generals, and counselors. You go alone. If you want to stand out, it's a difficult time to climb to the sky."

Yuan Mai flipped the branches and used a psychological offensive to Hao Zhao, determined to dispel his idea of ​​going south to join Cao Cao.

After hearing Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao also sighed: "Yes, what will happen if I get to Cao Cao? In Jizhou, there is a recommendation from the fifth wife. I can only be a groom. Even if I become a groom, I will admit it. I warned myself in my heart that this must be God trying to temper me. As long as I put my heart into it, I will definitely have a chance to make it. Who knows that in the end, Yuan Shang, the groom, would not let me do it!"

"As the saying goes, there are always horses that are thousands of miles apart, but Bole doesn't! Hao Bodao has such a skill that he was actually sent to be a horseman. It's really a secret bead."

Yuan Mai took the wine bag, drank a lot, and sighed loudly. He completely forgot that this was a poem that only came into existence after five hundred years.

Hao Zhao had never heard what Yuan Mai said, but he was like "a thousand-mile horse" and "bole". It sounded very profound and unfathomable. It seemed that these four young men were indeed very knowledgeable, and Hao Zhao muttered in his heart.

"Bo Dao is a smart person, you can tell at one point. Since you can understand this principle, don't go to Xuchang. Stay here to help me. Let's create a great cause together! If I, Yuan Mai, will definitely let you be named a marquis and a general!"

Yuan Mai handed Hao Zhao a wine bag and gently patted his shoulder, looking like he was dominating the world.

Being a marquis and being appointed as a general? His tone is really quite big!

Hao Zhao was so excited that he was Yuan Shao's son. Their Yuan family had four generations and three masters, and many old officials. In terms of connections, there were no one in the world who was right by the Yuan family. Yuan Shao is now in a high position as a general, supervising Ji, Qing, and the military affairs of the three states. He commanded a 200,000 to 300,000 troops under his command, which shocked the princes. In the future, the world is very likely to belong to their Yuan family.

Although these four young men are not famous, few people know about his deeds. Although the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are already full of strength, Yuan Mai is wise and foolish, and can pretend to be weak and sick, and secretly possess strategies, is not a simple person. If he has the chance, he might be able to compete with his brothers.

More importantly, he lacks helpers now. If I can assist him in achieving something, I will be a hero in the future. It is no problem to be a marquis and generals in the future. This is better than following anyone. If I fail unfortunately, I can only blame myself for my bad fate!

"Okay, since the young master looks down on Hao Zhao so much, I will give my confidant all my skills. I am just afraid that Yuan Shang will know. First, if I kill his personal soldiers, I will definitely not give up with me. Second, Zhao is worried that you will make your brothers turn against you and make it difficult for the young master to do so."
