Sun Jian rushed to Wancheng with Huang Gai and Sun Ce. When he asked to see Yuan Shu, he happened to meet Yuan Manlai who had just arrived.

"Brother, brother, something is wrong." Yuan Manlai entered the door crying, with a distressed expression on his face, "Father failed to kill Dong Zhuo, but was killed by Dong Zhuo instead, Yuan's family was beheaded."

"Ah..." Yuan Shu was taken aback, and immediately jumped up with a look of horror.

Originally, Yuan Shu heard from the steward that Yuan Manlai came suddenly, thinking that Yuan Kui had sent Yuan Manlai to tell him something important.

Who would have thought that Yuan Manlai really brought an important matter, and he also had two stab wounds, one on his left arm and one on his right leg.

The two knife wounds were of course caused by Yuan Manlai on purpose.

After being shocked, Yuan Shu hurried to Yuan Manlai, grabbed his right arm, and said angrily, "What's going on, tell me in detail quickly."

The three of Sun Jian also just arrived, and they were all surprised when they encountered such a thing before they even spoke about saving Cheng Pu.

Yuan Kui tried to kill Dong Zhuo but failed, but was killed by Dong Zhuo, and all his families were copied and beheaded?

This news will definitely shake the world.

Sun Jian swallowed a mouthful of foam, thinking to himself, this matter is timely.

In this way, Yuan Shu will definitely agree to my request and send Qiao Rui to Chang'an.

One is to save morality, and the other is to investigate news.

Yuan Manlai held back his crying, and told the story of the incident in detail.

Because Hua Yu was coerced by Hua Yu, Yuan Manlai poured all the basin of water on Dong Zhuo without Hua Yu's confession.

Even the transaction between Hua Yu and Yuan Kai was said by Yuan Man as Yuan Kai approaching Hua Yu on his own initiative in exchange for the lives of the three of their brothers.

Then, after leaving Chang'an City, the three brothers were intercepted and killed by the Xiliang army sent by Dong Zhuo. Yuan Zhongda and Yuan Yida fought hard to protect him and died.

In the Taifu's mansion in Chang'an City, he is the only man alive.

Although some women were exiled, they didn't know the reason behind it.
Therefore, Yuan Man said that what happened to this matter is what happened.

After all, Yuan Manlai is Yuan Wei's son, and even Yuan Wei's favorite son. Who would doubt that he can tell lies?
"Old thief Dong Zhuo, I, Yuan Shu, are incompatible with you." After hearing this, Yuan Shu roared angrily, drew out his long sword, and almost split the case in half with one sword.

Apart from his own son, among these nephews, Yuan Kai loves Yuan Shu the most.

Yuan Manlai said with tears again: "Originally, after the accident, Dad has already written a letter, and he is going to let Brother Gong take over the position of the next head of the Yuan family."

"The letter is on the second brother's body, but the second brother was murdered by Dong Zhuo's minions, so the letter naturally fell into Dong thief's hands."

The next head of the Yuan family?

These few words made Yuan Shu's heart skip a beat.

Because among Yuan Shu's generation, Yuan Shao's influence is the greatest, far surpassing him.

Therefore, Yuan Kai has never expressed his position on the issue of the successor of the head of the Yuan family.

Now, Yuan Kai finally decided to choose Yuan Shu as the next head of the Yuan family, but the letter failed to reach Yuan Shu's hands.

"Alas..." Yuan Shu sighed, "If uncle handed the letter to you, it won't be lost."

"Right now, the letter has fallen into Dong thief's hands, so there is no way to get it back. You can only testify."

"Yuan Benchu ​​has always been ambitious. Once he knows that his uncle has been murdered and you are the only one left, he may not necessarily recognize you as a witness, but will consider himself the head of the Yuan family."

Yuan Shao is Yuan Feng's concubine son, so he is not qualified to take over as the head of the family.

However, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Cheng died young and left no heirs.

Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Feng to Yuan Cheng, and his status changed from a concubine to a legitimate son.

It's just that Yuan Shu had long aimed at the position of Patriarch and never recognized it. He still treated Yuan Shao as a concubine, including Yuan Kai.

Sun Jian was extremely contemptuous in his heart, thinking to himself, Yuan Gonggong didn't think about how to unite the Yuan family and avenge the Yuan family when such a big incident happened to the Yuan family, but first thought about how to become the head of the Yuan family.

At this moment, Sun Jian became more determined to break away from Yuan Shu.

However, people in this era not only pay attention to filial piety, but also pay attention to loyalty.

Sun Jian is the general of Yuan Shu, so he has to be loyal to Yuan Shu, and he can't set up his own family casually, otherwise, he will be looked down upon by the world, and no one will follow him.

Historically, although Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, he still had to worship Yuan Shu in name.

Until Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Sun Ce received the imperial decree from Cao Cao to crusade against Yuan Shu, he had sufficient reasons to break away from Yuan Shu, set up his own family, and become a vassal.

Yuan Manlai was indeed the smartest of Yuan Kai's four sons, and he had an idea when he had an idea.

"Brother Gonglu, my younger brother has a plan, which can help my elder brother take over the position of Patriarch of the Yuan family."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what's your plan?"

Yuan Manlai said with a smile: "An accident happened to the Yuan family, but it happened not long ago."

"The land of Chang'an is far away from Bohai County, Yuan Benchu ​​must not know about it yet."

"Therefore, Brother Gonglu can take the lead in sending a message to the world, announcing this matter, and denouncing Dong Zhuo."

"At the same time, my younger brother came forward to testify that my father handed over the position of Patriarch to Elder Gong Gong."

"Although Brother Gonglu can't provide sufficient evidence, as long as Brother Gongfa can preconceive and is a legitimate son, he will definitely get the favor of most of the former officials of the Yuan family."

"When Yuan Benchu ​​found out about this and wanted to react, it was already too late. The initiative is already in the hands of Brother Gong."

The three of Sun Jian watched from the sidelines, their hearts filled with contempt.

Before Yuan Kai's bones were cold, the Yuan family's internal fighting had already begun.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "Wonderful, this plan is very clever."

"Manlai, if this plan succeeds, I will never treat you badly as a brother in the future."

Yuan Manlai laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother, as long as you do it right, this plan will succeed."

At this time, no matter whether it was Yuan Shu or Yuan Manlai, there was no trace of grief on their faces.

After talking about this, Yuan Shu suddenly thought of Sun Jian and the others, and asked, "By the way, Wentai is here, what's the matter?"

Sun Jian then told the story of Cheng Pu, and finally said: "The last general, please order Minggong to let General Qiao Rui take his son Bofu to Chang'an."

"One is to wait for an opportunity to save people, and the other is to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family in Chang'an City."

"If you can buy off the guards in Chang'an Prison with a lot of money, see Duke Yuan, and get another letter, then Duke Ming will be able to take charge of the Yuan family in a legitimate way. I wonder what Duke Ming will do?"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed: "Okay, Wentai's plan is very clever."

"I will give Zhongwei an order to go to Chang'an with a lot of money to clear up the relationship."

Sun Jian was also overjoyed: "Thank you, Duke Ming."

Seeing this, Sun Ce thought to himself, his father's strategy was indeed powerful, and he used the position of the head of the Yuan family as a bait to easily get Yuan Shu to agree to the matter.

It seems that in the future I will have to think more brains.

Yuan Manlai watched with cold eyes and sneered in his heart. The Yuan family will be executed in three days.

It took me a day and a half to get here from Chang'an.

If you go to Chang'an again and carry a lot of money, the journey on the road will definitely be unpleasant, at least two or three days.

When they arrived at Chang'an City, the heads of Yuan's family had already fallen to the ground, how could they still see their father.

Hey, it's clear that Sun Jian wanted to save Cheng Pu and deliberately used this as a bait to trick Yuan Shu into agreeing.
