They all say I'm a tyrant

Before arriving in the Southwest, You Yan knew that the predicament in the Southwest did not originate from the outside, but was to be blamed on the inside.Time and time again, he was inexplicably defeated when the winning ticket was in his hands. Even the battle-tested Tao Jiang finally lost his halberd and ended up as a shrouded body in horse leather. It can only be that there are some unclear things in the Southwest.Therefore, after entering the southwestern territory, You Yan sent people to investigate everywhere, and spent two days in Jiaozhou city, painstakingly planning and arranging step by step, which led to today's situation.

At this moment, many obstacles were finally cleared away. You Yan officially took over the Southwest, but he knew in his heart that solving Guo Zhun was only the beginning. The defeat of Yingdu City gave Fan and its allies a chance to breathe. The general manager of Yizhou was the culprit, and the general was changed before the battle. The army might have been in chaos for a long time. You Yan must stabilize the army's morale in the shortest possible time, so that the Southern Wei army can recover its strength to deal with the enemy.

But at this moment, You Yan only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He seldom feels this way. After all, most of the time, he is indifferent and calm. There are few things that can consume so much of his mind, and there is nothing that can make him feel as sad as he is now. powerless.

He can do many things to make up for it. He can turn the tide and save Southwest from the worst situation. He is even sure to end the war in Southwest within the shortest possible time. However, he cannot save Tao Jiang's life.

Tao Jiang's coffin has been resealed. Before that, You Yan found a foreman for an autopsy. On Tao Jiang's body, apart from the sword mark that pierced his heart, there were more than ten arrow sores.

In the battle that day, he received a deadly sword from behind, and he still held his breath to fight with the enemy, beheading the enemy several times, desperately trying to get close to the Lord Fan who was protected in it, and in the end he was hit by more than ten arrows. Exhausted and died.

You Yan was silent for a long time facing those arrow sores, and then he personally changed Tao Jiang's shroud that he had someone prepare again, and someone re-sealed the coffin lid.The idlers all retreated, there are still many things to deal with in the prefect's mansion, everyone has their own things to be busy with, only You Yan is still standing alone in the mourning hall.

He stretched out his hand to touch the coffin lid lightly, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.He has always felt that everything has its own destiny, but he always has a heart for Tao Jiang's destiny.He even regretted it for a moment. If he had come to the southwest in person, Tao Jiang would not have ended up like this, but no matter how much he regretted it, he still couldn't change the ending.

He leaned against the coffin and slowly sat down, looked up at the spiritual tablet enshrined above the high position, shook his head slightly, and closed his eyes.

He sat alone in the mourning hall for an unknown amount of time, until he heard footsteps, he opened his eyelids and glanced at the hidden guard standing outside the door: "What's the matter?"

"General, this prefect's mansion has been cleaned up, and all Guo Zhun's subordinates have been detained for interrogation." Anwei said, "I have ordered someone to go to the army to inform the generals to come to the mansion to discuss matters according to your request."

You Yan nodded: "Notify me when everyone is here." He closed his eyes again, "What else?"

"What's more, the two children we met in the city that day have been taken to the mansion, but I don't know how to arrange them." The dark guard hesitated a little, "After a few days, the army has settled down, and we may have to leave In this Jiaozhou City, it is inconvenient to take two children with you when the war is urgent, but if you stay here in Jiaozhou City, will you be at ease?"

You Yan opened his eyes, always looking at Tao Jiang's spirit seat: "Bring them here first."

"Bring it here?" The dark guard looked around, looked up and down the entire mourning hall, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"Bring it here first," You Yan propped himself up on the ground, and stood up slowly, "Go."

Although the dark guard felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to bring the two children into the mourning hall, he still saluted You Yan, turned around and retreated.

You Yan stood in front of the coffin with his back to the door, and said slowly to Tao Jiang's spiritual seat: "This trip to the southwest, besides what I should have done, I have gained something else." Turning his head, he saw the dark guard bringing the two children over, the younger one was in his arms, and the older one was obediently following behind, when he saw You Yan, his eyes widened a bit, and his steps were faster than before bigger.

The corners of You Yan's lips raised upwards, and he beckoned to her. The little girl seemed to be encouraged, and ran all the way to You Yan before stopping. There is some obvious apprehension.The little girl still doesn't know how to hide her emotions. She is happy to see You Yan, but she is worried that the other party doesn't like her.

The little girl has already changed into a clean dress, and with her already outstanding alien appearance, plus a pair of eyes that always seem to be shining, she is beautiful and pleasing.You Yan's eyes softened a lot when he met the little girl's clear eyes, he squatted down in front of her, and gently touched her face.

The little girl seemed to be relieved, and quietly hooked You Yan's clothes with her fingers, thinking that such a subtle movement would not be noticed, but how could she hide it from You Yan's eyes, he just glanced at it from the corner of his eye, He reached out his hand towards the little girl, took her little hand, walked to the coffin, and said softly, "Do you know what this is?"

The little girl blinked, glanced at the coffin, and nodded slightly.Although she may not fully understand it, she also knows that only the dead will be put into that coffin.

"Then are you afraid?" You Yan raised his hand and gently covered the coffin, "This is an old friend of mine, your uncle, he once saved my life."

The little girl seemed to understand, but she still shook her head: "I'm not afraid."

You Yan stared at her for a while, the corners of his lips curled up, he put his arms on the little girl's shoulders, and leaned over to look into her eyes: "I said that day that I want to recognize you as my daughter, are you willing?"

The little girl looked at You Yan for a long time, then nodded slightly.

You Yan smiled: "Okay, call Dad to listen."

The little girl licked her lower lip and said in a low voice, "Daddy."

You Yan bent the corner of his eyes, pointed to the cushion under his feet: "Kowtow to Uncle Tao."

The little girl had great trust in You Yan, she obediently walked to the cushion, knelt down, and earnestly kowtowed three times towards Tao Jiang's spirit seat.You Yan stared at her thin figure, and slowly said towards Tao Jiang's spiritual seat, "Because of the war in the southwest, this little girl's parents died and she was displaced. I will testify in front of you today." , From now on, I am also a father. She has kowtowed to you, that is, she recognizes you as an uncle. In the future, even if I am not in this world, someone will go to your funeral for me to sacrifice and send you two altars Bamboo leaf green."

When You Yan said this, he smiled and shook his head. He touched the top of the little girl's head: "Since you are the daughter of my You family, let me give you another name." He looked down at the little girl, " From now on, you will be named Youyou, I wish you a leisurely and carefree life, wanton and unrestrained."

The little girl looked up at You Yan, and nodded slightly to recognize the name.She looked at You Yan, then suddenly turned her head to look at the guard who had been standing at the door, and said softly, "What about my brother?"

"You've only known him for the past few days, but you miss him very much." You Yan laughed, reached out to the dark guard, and took the baby in his arms. It must have had enough food and drink in the past few days, and someone took care of it. The child was much more energetic than before, and he was still writhing in You Yan's arms, looking around with his eyes, feeling very novel about everything in front of him.

You Yan gently pinched the child's chubby face, turned his head towards the spiritual seat and said, "I promised you to find a marriage for you before you went out that day, and when you come back from a big victory, I will let you marry a wife and have children, but did not expect……"

He paused for a moment, then looked down at the child in his arms: "This child is young and lonely. He has no parents to take care of him. It is difficult for him to survive in this world. I will identify this child for you. As for the name, it will be Tao You, from now on, your Tao family can be regarded as having a queen."

When You Yan said this, he lowered his eyes: "You don't have to worry about him being left alone. Since he is your son, he will be a loyal queen. I will raise him for you. However, if there is really a spirit in the sky, you Take care of your own son, he doesn't need to be as brave and good at fighting as you, he just needs to be an ordinary person and be safe and smooth."

Tao Yan, who just got his name, was still restless in You Yan's arms. In the end, he simply raised his little hand and pulled the hair on You Yan's sideburns. You Yan looked at him, couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and finally laughed: "He looks like an active kid, though."

He handed Tao Jiang into the arms of the dark guard, and took Xiao Youyou's hand: "Tomorrow morning, send someone to send Tao Jiang's coffin back to the capital."

"Yes, General." The dark guard said, "Then, where are the young master and miss?"

"Also escorted back to the capital. The war in the southwest is urgent, we have to settle all the incidents within two or three days, and then attack Fan Guo. I can't rest assured that they stay by my side." You Yan said softly, "Send back to the capital , Your Majesty will take care of them for me."

You You understood You Yan's words, and knew that he had just recognized a father and wanted to separate the father and daughter. He didn't know what to do for a while, he pinched You Yan's fingers tightly and tightly, his eyes turned red, but He didn't dare to cry out, just looked at You Yan pitifully with his eyes open.

You Yan squatted down, and gently wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes: "Why don't you take your younger brother and Uncle Tao's coffin home first? Daddy still has things to do, and he still needs to stay in the southwest for a while. "You Yan stretched out his fingers to hook her, "I promise you, I will go back as soon as possible, I did what I promised you last time, and I will not break my promise this time."

You You sniffled and nodded slightly: "But, I'm afraid..."

"From now on, the capital is your home, so what's the fear of going back to your own home?" You Yan said softly, "What's more, there is another father of yours at home, and he will take good care of you. And , you have to do Dad a favor and tell him that I miss him very much."
