Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 41
Yuan Shang sneered twice and said, "What do people in the world think? Who is the elder brother referring to? Cao Cao or Gongsun Zan, or someone else?"

Yuan Shao silently glanced at his youngest son, and nodded inwardly.

Such boldness, has the demeanor of Lao Tzu back then.

Looking at Yuan Tan again, he was very unhappy.

The Yuan family is now ruling the world, who dares to be dissatisfied?
Xu You acted suspiciously, and Yuan Xi personally killed Cao Cao and captured a surrendered general, pointing out that Xu You's betrayal was not impossible.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao said: "That's the end of the matter. Xu You defected to the enemy and wiped out the three clans. Let Xian Yi handle it."

Yuan Tan was dumbfounded: "Father?"

"Ok?"

Yuan Shao's face was displeased, "Don't you hear my words?"

Yuan Tan's anger was drowned out, he bowed his head and said, "I know."

Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Yuan Tan's eyes, he was full of complacency.

When Yuan Xi wrote to him, he told him that Yuan Tan might use this as an excuse to deal with him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The two walked out one after the other.

Yuan Tan suddenly snorted, "Don't be complacent."

Yuan Shang squinted at him, as if you could do anything to me.

Yuan Tan flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, when suddenly a knight galloped from afar.

Then he handed over a bamboo slip to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan looked overjoyed after opening it.

He took a hard look at Yuan Shang, turned around and left.

Yuan Shang was puzzled and didn't care.

Inside Yuan Tan's mansion.

"Mr. Gongze, is the news true?"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "According to the news from the spies, Yuan Xi's intentions are self-evident in wantonly replacing generals and officials in Youzhou."

Yuan Tan clenched his fists and snorted, "Yuan Xianyi actually played this trick. On the surface, he seemed to support Yuan Shang, but unexpectedly he was secretly accumulating strength. I'm afraid he also wanted to get in the way."

Guo Tu smiled proudly: "If you tell Yuan Shang the news and provoke the two of you, there will be a show."

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "There's no rush, let's wait for him to make a big fuss first, maybe we can add some fuel to the fire."

"Eldest son Shengming."

Guo Tu took out a stack of bamboo slips from the side, opened it and said, "Look, my lord, although these people are in Youzhou, they are all ours. Now more than half of them have been deprived of military power, and they hate it in their hearts." .”

Guo Tu brought another scroll of bamboo slips: "My lord, please take a look again, these are several important forces of Yuan Shang in Youzhou."

He pointed to one of them and said: "This Su Huo is the younger brother of Yuan Shang's general Su You, who was placed in Youzhou by Yuan Shang, and is also a powerful figure."

Yuan Tan was puzzled, "What does Mr. Gongze mean?"

Guo Tu smiled and said: "This Su Huo has nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, and he is a tough man. According to reports from spies, although his current official position has not changed, his actual power has been cut by more than half."

"He didn't say anything?" Yuan Tan was curious.

Guo Tu shook his head, "There is no movement yet, but I am definitely dissatisfied."

Yuan Tan frowned and said: "I'm afraid Yuan Shang told him to be patient. After all, Youzhou is controlled by Yuan Xi. Now that Yuan Xi supports him on the surface, he naturally dare not break his face."

Guo Tu praised: "What the eldest son said is very true. But this is not the point. The point is that Su Huo's brother-in-law belongs to us. He is greedy for money and lustful, and was bought by me a few years ago."

Yuan Tan was in a hurry, he took Guo Tu's arm and said, "Mr. Gongze said quickly, what is the use of this person?"

Guo Tu sighed, the eldest son is brave, but his resourcefulness is really mediocre.

But this is also a good way to show his role.

Guo Tu caressed his beard and said complacently: "My lord, just imagine, this Su Huo is already dissatisfied. If his brother-in-law accidentally offended Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi wanted to kill his brother-in-law in a fit of anger, would this Su Huo complain to him?" Yuan Xi begging for mercy on behalf of his brother-in-law?"

"Definitely." Yuan Tan nodded subconsciously.

"It should be so," Guo Tu's eyes flickered with a sly smile, "Then if Yuan Xi accidentally kills Su Yu's brother-in-law, will Su Huo become angry?"

Yuan Tan was overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this plan is very clever. If you offend Su Huo, it will be the same as offending Su You. Will Yuan Shang just sit back and watch?"

Guo Tu smiled strangely, "This matter is not safe yet, if Yuan Shang calls Su Huo Yinren, I'm afraid it will fall short."

"Then what should we do?" Yuan Tan thought the same.

For the great cause and for Yuan Xi's support, Yuan Shang might not really make Su Huo bear it.

After all, Yuan Xi may have a reason first.

"Simple," Guo Tu wiped his neck, "Kill Suho."

Yuan Tan's eyes widened: "Fram Yuan Xi?"

Guo Tu clapped his palms and said, "The eldest son is Shengming. Just one click."

Yuan Tan's complexion changed again and again, suddenly he laughed, and said coldly: "Su Huo is dead, so if Yuan Shang can sit still, Su You will be able to sit still? If Yuan Shang doesn't turn against Yuan Xi at that time, I'm afraid I can't control my subordinates anymore."

The two looked at each other and both laughed.

Guo Tu took out a piece of silk cloth from his cuff at this time, "The old man has one more good thing to tell the eldest son."

Yuan Tan said happily, "What good thing?"

Guo Tu handed the silk cloth to Yuan Tan and said with a smile, "My lord, you can watch it yourself."

Yuan Tan finished the silk cloth, and after a while, he said pleasantly: "Cao Pi wants to surrender to me, is this really true?"

Guo Tu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Of course. Cao Pi is like a grass dog now, and surrendering to the eldest son is his only way out."

"well."

Yuan Tan slapped his thigh excitedly, "I lack outstanding military achievements. If Cao Pi comes to vote, I will definitely be able to stabilize the old three."

"That's not enough."

Guo Tu said in a low voice: "Cao Pi said that he is willing to cooperate with us in all actions. Sir, if Cao Pi comes to attack, who will the Lord send to meet the enemy?"

Yuan Tan snorted, and said with an ugly face: "Who else could it be except the third child? This is clearly a credit. During the Guandu battle, he killed Shi Huan by chance. I don't know how proud he is."

Guo Tu smiled mysteriously and said, "My lord, what if Yuan Shang loses the battle?"

Yuan Tan's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly: "Impossible, now we are strong and strong, Cao Jun's morale is low, and there are not many people left. How can we beat the third child?"

"Eldest Young Master's words are wrong."

Guo Tu said indifferently: "At the beginning, our army was dozens of times stronger than Cao's army. Didn't Cao's army still defeat our army several times? The three sons are proud and underestimate the enemy. In addition, the opponent's advisors are Guo Jia and Xun You, and Wu has brothers Xiahou, Cao Hong, and Cao Hong. Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and other generals, if they really fight, Cao Jun may not suffer a loss?"

Yuan Tan nodded and said: "What Gong Ze said is true, if the third brother is not careful, he might really be able to defeat him."

Guo Tudao: "Let's help him appropriately. In the end, the third son was defeated. Let's go face Cao Pi. Jieshi."

Guo Tu didn't continue, but Yuan Tan knew about it.

With an excited expression, he took Guo Tu's arm and sighed, "I have the principles, and I can win thousands of troops."

Guo Tu smiled proudly and said, "Cao Pi's son's matter is not in a hurry. Let the third son and the second son fight first. After completely turning their faces, we will do this plan."

Yuan Tan's heart was in full bloom, the originally difficult situation, under Guo Tu's manipulation, suddenly made the journey smooth.

He only felt that he had put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne of the Ninth Five Lord.
