"Younger Brother Xiansi."

"You and I are of similar age."

"How about calling me Brother Linzhi, how about that?"

Gu Yi said to Yuan Tan with a smile.

Actually.

Gu Yi's age was even a bit younger than Yuan Tan's.

But the intelligence and ability of the two.

Were a thousand miles apart.

Yuan Tan was currently wondering what medicine Gu Yi was selling in his gourd.

Hearing Gu Yi let him use the address "Brother Linzhi."

He subconsciously accepted it gladly.

After all.

He was in the enemy camp at this moment.

Being able to call the leader of the enemy camp brother and pull closer the relationship.

Was naturally the best thing.

This situation was similar to the captured international student Zhu Qizhen in the original history.

Like Zhu Qizhen.

Yuan Tan was not a person with backbone either.

In a situation where he could save his life.

He naturally didn't want to die at the hands of the enemy for no reason.

He saw Yuan Tan bow to Gu Yi with a fawning face:

"Brother Linzhi, Little Brother has one thing I want to ask Brother Linzhi for advice."

"I hope Brother Linzhi will not hesitate to teach me."

"Hahahaha, Younger Brother Xiansi, just speak directly if you have anything to say."

"You and I are brothers, why be so polite?"

Getting Gu Yi's affirmative reply, a look of joy appeared on Yuan Tan's face, and then he asked:

"Brother Linzhi, I don't know when you plan to let me go back?"

Yuan Tan didn't have too many twists and turns in his heart.

At this moment, although he was slightly older than Gu Yi, his life experience was not very rich.

Seeing that Gu Yi was not such a difficult person to talk to, Yuan Tan even faintly raised a naive idea of wanting Gu Yi to let him go back safely.

Gu Yi didn't directly answer Yuan Tan's confusion.

Instead, he took out a map from the table, spread it out in front of Yuan Tan, pointed to the pattern in the direction of Jizhou, and asked with a smile:

"Younger Brother Xiansi, do you think if I let you go back now, can you really return to the Yuan camp safely?"

Yuan Tan frowned and asked in confusion:

"What does Brother Linzhi mean by this?"

"Could it be that someone will rob and kill me on the way?"

Hearing what Yuan Tan said, Gu Yi laughed "Puchi," and then pointed his finger heavily at the direction of Yecheng on the map.

"Younger Brother Xiansi, the person who truly wants to put you to death is right there in Yecheng."

"Could it be that, until now, you still think the defeat today was really because of you?"

"You should carefully recall."

"Before you set out, did Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and others support your taking command with both hands and feet?"

Reminded by Gu Yi, Yuan Tan also followed and fell into memories.

It seems... it really is as Gu Yi said!

The four people who usually didn't look at Yuan Tan very favorably—Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Tian Feng, and Feng Ji.

This time, they showed an attitude of full support for Yuan Tan taking command, which was extremely abnormal.

As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

Although Yuan Tan didn't look very smart, he still possessed the intelligence to think independently.

Political enemies suddenly changed their minds and turned to support themselves.

What does this mean?

Could it be that they took the wrong medicine?

That is naturally impossible!

The truth is that Yuan Tan taking command had great hidden benefits for the Hebei faction people like Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Tian Feng, and Feng Ji.

However.

With Yuan Tan's intelligence, it was obviously impossible for him to figure out all the twists and turns.

Seeing this, Gu Yi reminded him from the side:

"Younger Brother Xiansi, as far as I know, after learning the news that you were captured, that fellow Tian Feng kept clamoring for Chunyu Qiong and Yan Liang to lead the remaining troops to break out!"

"In his eyes, your life and safety are not important at all."

Once these words were spoken.
