Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

The current Yuan Shao, although he has the title of the leader of the Kwantung princes, is actually just a prefect of Bohai County.

The jurisdiction under Yuan Shao's command is just those counties in Bohai County.

Although Bohai County is the largest county in Jizhou, with more than 80 households and a population of more than [-], it is only a county.

But Yuan Shu's power is quite different.

Nanyang County in Jingzhou, Jiujiang, Lujiang and Danyang counties in Yangzhou, and Runan County in Yuzhou.

In the land of Yuzhou, one Runan County is almost half of Yuzhou.

Moreover, Yuan Shu expanded his ambition outwards, preparing to swallow the entire Yuzhou, and then look at Yanzhou as a tiger.

Therefore, Yuan Shao at this time is far from the behemoth he was when he swallowed the four prefectures of Hebei.

Yuan Shu at this time was not a dead bone in the tomb, but one of the best princes in the world.

Even if there is no distinction between concubine and concubine, Yuan Manlai will definitely go to the powerful Yuan Shu instead of Yuan Shao who only has one county.

But he said that after Hua Yu left the secret room, he went straight to the prison in Chang'an. He was going to meet Yuan Kai, the last of the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family.

Counting it, Yuan Shao in history once took the post of general from Cao Cao.

The position of the general should be above the Sangong.

Therefore, Yuan Shao is the time to carry forward the Yuan family to the greatest extent.

But after the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan family was almost completely defeated by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Mai all did not survive, only Yuan Xi's descendants survived.

Later, among Yuan Xi's descendants, there was one named Yuan Shuji, who participated in the Shenlong coup, forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, restored Li Tang Jiangshan, and became the prime minister.

But he said that when Hua Yu came to the prison, he saw Yuan Kai.

Because he was not tortured, Yuan Wei's mental state is still very good.

When Yuan Kai saw Hua Yu, his eyes were very flat, without any expression, he just said lightly: "I have been waiting for you for many days, and today I finally waited for you."

Hua Yu walked into the cell and said with a smile: "Hua Yu, I have met Yuan Taifu."

Yuan Kai sighed slightly, waved his hands and said, "Hua Ziyi, you and I are both smart people, so there is no need to gossip."

"Based on your strategy, if you are not fully sure, if you cannot settle the case, you will never come to this old man."

"I just want to ask you one question, is the ruling of this case according to Dong Zhuo's wishes, or is it based on the courtier's heart?"

Hua Yu took out Yuan Manlai's confession and said with a smile: "Here is a confession, Master Yuan will know it at a glance."

Immediately, Dian Wei took the confession and handed it to Yuan Kai.

Yuan Kai took it, frowned slightly, and looked at the confession.

With just a quick glance, Yuan Kai's face changed drastically. This turned out to be Yuan Manlai's confession.

Moreover, Yuan Manlai shifted the responsibility to the Yuan family, exempting Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang from the crime.

"Ni..." Yuan Kai was furious in his heart, and just started to curse, but suddenly his heart moved, and he swallowed the word "zi" back.

"Hmph." Yuan Kai sneered, "Hua Ziyi, you are considered a generation of heroes, yet you resorted to such despicable methods."

"My son Yuan Manlai has been afraid of pain since he was a child. You beat him into a trick and forced him to write a confession. What kind of ability is it?"

Hua Yu smiled and said, "What kind of behavior is this Yuan Manlai, presumably Yuan Taifu knows better than me."

"Right now, the three young masters are in my hands. Whether they live or die, the decision is in Yuan Taifu's hands."

"Yuan Taifu has four sons, and Yuan Yin's qualifications are mediocre and can't be used."

"The second son, Yuan Zhongda, and the third son, Yuan Yida, both have a heroic spirit and are full of civil and military skills."

"The youngest son, Yuan Manda, is the smartest of the four brothers."

"If you can help him with the power of the Yuan family, how far will his achievements be inferior to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers?"

"Right now, the world is in chaos, and all heroes are rising together. If the Yuan family's name and power are not obtained by the son of the Taifu, they will definitely be used by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers."

"Yuan Taifu gave up the lives of his three sons to make Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, it's really noble."

Yuan Kui seemed to understand Hua Yu's meaning, and frowned slightly: "What does Champion Hou mean, to let Zhong Da and the three of them leave Chang'an?"

Hua Yu said with a smile: "Teacher Yuan is indeed a wise eye, and Hua Yu has exactly this intention."

After being silent for a while, Yuan Kai asked again: "The price is the old man pleading guilty?"

"Teacher Yuan is amazing, and Hua Yu admires him very much." Hua Yu cupped his hands, "Even if the Tutor pleaded guilty, all scholars in the world can understand that the Yuan family has no reason to seek rebellion."

"Therefore, although the Yuan family was convicted on the surface, in fact, they were able to gain the sympathy of the scholars in the world, as well as the indignation towards Dong Zhuo."

"Once the three young masters leave Chang'an and raise their arms, the scholars in the world will definitely follow suit and be willing to use it for the Yuan family."

"At that time, with three Yuans and three establishments, the general trend of the world will belong to the Yuan family."

Yuan Kai asked coldly: "But how can I believe that you will let the three of Zhongda leave safely?"

Hua Yu smiled lightly: "It's simple."

"The Grand Tutor can send a few cronies to follow the three young masters to the east, and after they leave Wuguan, return to Chang'an and report to the Grand Tutor, how about it?"

"Besides, I, Hua Yu, am a human being, so I won't break my word."

Yuan Kai said indifferently: "The old man must meet with Zhongda, and the champion is not allowed to attend."

"Okay, Hua Yu will arrange it now." Hua Yu nodded, turned and left the cell without further words.

In the evening, Yuan Zhongda arrived.

To be precise, it didn't come over, but was carried in by two feather guards.

After the two guards put Yuan Zhongda down, they left the cell.

"Zhongda..." Looking at his own son covered in bruises, Yuan Kai couldn't help crying, and with trembling hands, he supported Yuan Zhongda and lay in his arms.

Yuan Zhongda's face was weak, and his words were even weaker: "Father, the child did not embarrass the Yuan family."

"Well, I know for my father." Yuan Kai nodded and asked again, "How are Yida and Manlai doing?"

Yuan Zhongda shook his head lightly: "The third brother is in the same situation as the boy, but the fourth brother is... greedy... greedy and afraid..."

After Yuan Zhongda finished talking about Yuan Manlai's performance, Yuan Kai's heart sank completely: "The Yuan family has no bones, this rebellious son is not worthy to be my descendant of the Yuan family."

"For my father, I will write a letter. First, hand over the position of the head of the Yuan family to Gonglu."

"Second, sweep Yuan Manlai, a rebellious son, out of the Yuan family's family. From then on, he will no longer be a descendant of the Yuan family."

Without Yuan Manlai, Yuan Kai's sons are not material for great things. It is better to give Yuan Shu the position of Patriarch. Yuan Wei is not confused about this.

Moreover, in Yuan Kai's eyes, the distinction between concubine and concubine is even more clear, and the position of head of the Yuan family must not be handed over to the concubine.

Therefore, Yuan Kai immediately took out a piece of white cloth that he had prepared, bit his middle finger, wrote a letter, and secretly left a special code of Yuan's family in the letter.

The confession copied by Yuan Manlai did not leave a special code of the Yuan family, so Yuan Manlai was confident and could refuse to admit it.
