Yuan Shu returned to the city excitedly, summoned the chief Yang Hong to discuss the matter of letting Yuan Shao return to the sect and then engraving a monument for him.

Yang Hong was helpless.

Yuan Shu’s ideas are not only absurd, but also boring.

What are the benefits of completely slandering Yuan Shao?

This is not only a shame for Yuan Shao alone, but also a shame for Yuan's family in Runan.

But he couldn't stop it.

It would be fine if Yuan Shu had a stubborn mind. Behind this is the emperor who wanted to take advantage of the victory to completely defeat Yuan Shao and the people behind Yuan Shao, thus creating public opinion for Jizhou to quell the rebellion.

If Yuan Shao was just a hypocrite or a ruthless minister, those who followed him should naturally die, and the court would not have to care about the hostages in Yecheng.

Like Shen Pei and Tian Feng, they deserve their sins.

What Yang Hong could do was to advise Yuan Shu not to do it too much, and to destroy the reputation of the entire Yuan family in Runan just by relying on his momentary intention.

The court has printed this apology for crimes all over the world. Why do you need to carve it into a monument so that the ancestors and ancestors of the Yuan family in Runan will be shamed?

Yuan Shu disagreed.

He said righteously that the reason why I let Yuan Shao return to the sect instead of becoming a lonely ghost is that I value his courage to reflect on himself.

No one can be without mistakes if one is not a sage. If one can correct one’s mistakes, there is no greater good.

This is not a shame, it is a great kindness.

Looking at Yuan Shao's life, he probably did this thing like a real man. If this monument was not erected, what qualifications would he have to be buried in the Yuan family's ancestral tomb?

This monument should not only be erected, but also solemnly, so that everyone in the world knows that Yuan’s family in Runan is a loyal minister of the court and does not tolerate Yuan Shao’s behavior. My descendants of Yuan’s family know that they can correct their mistakes. They are real men, not cowards.

Yang Hong could do nothing except shake his head and smile bitterly.

He knew that no one could stop Yuan Shu in this matter.

Yuan Shu acted quickly and sent someone to return to Runan with a copy of the apology, and arranged for the engraving of the inscription.

At the same time, he sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Shao to inform him of the inscription.

It doesn’t matter whether Yuan Shao agrees or not. The monument must be engraved. If you have the ability, don’t go back to Yuan, buried elsewhere, and be a lonely ghost. At that time, I will erect this monument on my uncle’s.

Next to the tomb, I will do my filial piety for you.

——

Hanoi, Huai County

Zang Hong tied his mount and turned over and dismounted.

The three thousand knights also dismounted, standing next to the war horse, standing like pine trees.

Dong Zhao welcomed him and greeted Zang Hong. "Ziyuan, if you haven't seen each other for a few years, you have already become a Confucian general who is so powerful in the northern border."

Zang Hong waved his hand and laughed twice. "Gong Ren, let's not talk about these false words between you and me. You are in Hanoi and protecting Jingjin is more important than me."

Dong Zhao laughed, no longer politely, and pulled Zang Hong to the long pavilion beside him.

The table table and wine and food have been prepared in the pavilion.

There were several officials standing outside the pavilion, and dozens of large trucks lined up outside, filled with wine jars and food, and the fragrance was everywhere.

Dong Zhao asked Zang Hong to take his seat and said, "Let the soldiers unarm and rest for half a day." Dong Zhao said, "After crossing the river, you will have no chance to rest."

Zang Hong nodded, raised his hand, and waved it twice.

The follower turned around, waved the small flag in his hand, and issued an order.

The knights agreed in unison and disbanded on the spot, gathered together in units of the squad. The saddle-feeding saddle-feeding and the armor-feeding, in an orderly manner.

The officials from Hanoi County stepped forward and distributed the prepared wine and food to them.

The soldiers took the wine and food, bowed to thank them, and were polite.

Dong Zhao saw it and nodded with satisfaction. "There are many soldiers passing by me, but not many people as polite as your subordinates. Ziyuan, you have made contributions in your education and can control the barbarians..."

Zang Hong raised his hand. "Gongren, they are not barbarians, they are all my great men."

"All of them... Han people?" Dong Zhao was a little surprised.

Many of these knights had high noses and deep eyes, and their beards and hair were all yellow. You could tell at a glance that they were not Han people.

"It is the people of the Han Dynasty, not the Han people." Zang Hong corrected: "As long as we have registered our Han Dynasty, we are the people of the Han Dynasty. Whether they are Han people, Xianbei people, Xiongnu, or other races, they will be treated equally. One day,

My Han Dynasty and all nations come to pay tribute, and hundreds of tribes are happy together, not only the Han people?"

Dong Zhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He raised his glass and said loudly, "You can't just look at the same level for three days after you leave. Ziyuan should have this. I have lost my words. I would like to apologize to Ziyuan with this glass.

, apologize to you."

Zang Hong said a few words of humility, raised his glass and drank it all with Dong Zhao.

They were both Yuan Shao's subordinates, and later forced to leave for similar reasons. Zang Hong was rescued by Chen Gong and returned to the court. He was appointed as the prefect of Yanmen by the emperor, and followed Youyan to protect Xun You to guard the northern border. Dong Zhao

He was appointed as the prefect of Hanoi by the emperor and has been fighting with Yuan Shao.

After a long separation, they both felt very moved. As they were talking, they talked about Yuan Shao.

Zang Hong came to see Dong Zhao specially because he wanted to inquire about Yuan Shao.

He was originally ready to prepare his troops and wanted to invade Jizhou and avenge Zhang Miao's brothers. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was captured by Yuan Shu, so he was in vain. This time he came from Yanmen and passed by Taiyuan. When he was Shangdang, he knew that he had a chance.

Yuan Shao also went to Luoyang and became even more anxious.

I'm afraid this revenge cannot be avenged.

Dong Zhao's younger brother Dong Fang was once Zhang Miao's subordinate, and now he has also gone to Luoyang, so he should be able to know some news.

Dong Zhao drank wine and told Zang Hong the news he had received recently.

Yuan Shao arrived in Luoyang but did not meet the emperor. Mrs. Yuan, Shi Sun Rui and others came forward one after another. Yuan Shao finally submitted a memorial for apology, and the emperor also pardoned Yuan Shao and let him return home.

Yuan Shao should be on his way back to Runan now. Even if Zang Hong arrived in Luoyang, he would not be able to see him.

Zang Hong let out a heavy breath, unable to tell what he was feeling.

He felt a little regretful, but he still couldn't see Yuan Shao all the way.

But what can I do when I see Yuan Shao?

"What did he write about his apology?"

"I heard it was very long, but I don't know what I wrote in detail yet." Dong Zhao smiled. "But you will know soon. I heard that the emperor is very satisfied with this apology and wants to print it all over the world."

Zang Hong was stunned for a moment, then calmed down again, and drank the wine in his glass.

"It's a pity for murder."

"It's not wrong to say this, but..." Dong Zhao paused and said, "It may not be the original intention of the emperor."

Zang Hong glanced at Dong Zhao sideways. "What is the original intention of that emperor?"

Dong Zhao did not look back, turned to look at Zang Hong's subordinates, and pondered for a moment. "Did you ever think about using these three thousand iron cavalry to attack Meiji, kill Cao Cao, and avenge Zhang Miao brothers?"

Zang Hong's eyebrows jumped and he pondered for a while. "I did think about it."

"Why didn't you take action?"

Zang Hong didn't say anything, but his face looked a little ugly. He took the wine pot and poured it himself. While drinking a few glasses of wine, he suppressed the resentment in his heart.

"Ziyuan, have you ever wondered why the people who followed Yuan Shao later became his enemies? You are like this, I am like this, Zhang Miao brothers are like this, and even Cao Cao is like this."
