Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 519 The four families surrendered!
Some things cannot be explained clearly, and if they are said too clearly, it will make everyone speechless.

That's what the old Patriarch of the Shen family said.

For a moment, there was an unspeakable silence in the study.

The four old people faced each other silently, a fierce light flashed under their seemingly cloudy eyes, and after a long time, all four of them let out a sigh of relief.

The head of the Ju family said quietly: "Well, Brother Shen's words are a bit unpleasant, but they are the truth. Anyway, didn't that Marquis Qi give us a new way? As for what the new way is, send someone to ask Is it okay to ask?"

The heads of the Tian family, the Xin family, and the Shen family nodded, but the head of the Shen family said again: "Although that is the case, who should be sent to ask questions, and how many people should be sent to ask?"

The Patriarch of the Ju family sneered, and said: "My family, Ju Shou, is already on vacation, and I am going to let him go to Ji Town. As for those nephews in my family, who can still be useful, they have already embarked on the road to Xuzhou. Make a bet, it's okay, just bet harder!"

Hearing the words of the Patriarch of the Ju family, even the Patriarch of the Shen family had been prepared to stand on Yuan Tan's side from the very beginning, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the Patriarch of the Ju family's decisiveness, so that he lost his voice on the spot!

Yecheng has not been peaceful these past few days. The aristocratic families seem to be honest, but in fact they are secretly preparing their own plans.

Instigating the Wuhuan people to attack Jizhen in the south is only the first step, and many descendants of the aristocratic families have already embarked on the journey.

Someone went to Cao Wei to persuade Cao Cao to raise an army to attack the Central Plains again, so that Yuan Tan could not look after each other.

Some went to the grasslands to persuade the Xiongnu and Xianbei to go south again and unite with Wuhuan. It would be best to kill Yuan Tan in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Some people even went to Jiangdong, hoping to lobby Sun Ce, the overlord, to send troops to fight Yuan Tan, and they would act as internal agents to create favorable conditions for the Jiangdong army's attack.

In short, all kinds of methods can be described as full of tricks and dazzling.

The information Xun Yu detected was only part of it.

However, the four major families are different from Xun Yu. They are the leaders of the Hebei aristocratic families. They can hide a lot of information from Xun Yu, who was born in Yingchuan and is far away in Xuzhou.

But it can't hide from the inherent intelligence network of the four major families.

In addition to those mid-level families that danced happily, more small families are now standing still, just to see the attitude of the four major families.

Whether it is the Shen family, the Tian family, or the Xin family, although they all have the heart to stand by Yuan Tan's side, they all have made up their minds.

We have to wait until the first wave of the family's counterattack, that is, the Wuhuan people's offensive, is over before making a decision.

After all, it was really painful for Jun Tianling to chop him off.

The new path that Yuan Tan mentioned was vague and did not explain clearly.

What if, if the Wuhuan people suddenly exploded and killed Yuan Tan in Jizhen, wouldn't it take so much effort?

The calculations of the three major families were ringing loudly, and they never expected that such a strange creature as the Ju family would appear among them.

What about the aristocratic family that agreed not to stand in line easily?

Where is the dignity of being the head of the Hebei gentry?

Although the three old Patriarchs all had ten thousand swear words in their hearts at this moment, they still tried their best to maintain a gentle expression on their faces, and laughed twice.

The Patriarch of the Shen family immediately cupped his hands and said: "To be honest, the old man suddenly remembered that there is still an important matter at home that has not been dealt with, so I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, the Patriarch of the Shen Family didn't wait for the three to respond, and immediately got up and walked towards the door, if he hadn't forgotten to use his cane when he was walking.

The way the old man walks like flying can really make people can't help but suspect that the words of the Patriarch of the Ju family just now have the magical effect of rejuvenating people.

Patriarch Shen's farewell seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and soon, Patriarch Xin couldn't sit still, and he didn't wait for the Patriarch of Shen's family to go far, and also followed suit to resign.

After both of them left, the Patriarch of the Tian family looked at the somewhat empty study room where only himself and the Patriarch of the Ju family were left, and sighed helplessly.

After picking up the teacup in his hand and taking a sip of the clear tea, he looked at the complex eyes of the head of the Ju family, and said slowly after a while: "Brother Ju, is it really necessary to do this step?"

The Patriarch of the Ju family sneered, shook his head, and said, "Now that things have come to an end, do we still have a choice? The Yuan family and our four families have already been tied up, and the Yuan family can obtain the current foundation. Was it really Yuan Benchuxiong who did it?"

The head of the Tian family was silent for a moment.

The Patriarch of the Ju family ignored his silence and continued: "The matter is already very clear. If the eldest son hadn't risen up in the battle of Guandu, with Yuan Benchu's character and ability, he might have been defeated by Cao Cao as early as in Guandu. It's also not your turn for the four of us to sit here and discuss the general situation of the world."

After finishing speaking, the head of the Ju family spread his hands and made a final conclusion: "So what else is there to choose now? If the eldest son really dies in Ji Town, where will the Yuan family go in the future? Who can guess, What if you are defeated by Cao Cao? Don’t forget the allusion of the battle between Chu and Han in the past. It is not uncommon for the weak to defeat the strong in this troubled world. But if the eldest son is preserved, my Ju family will have nothing As far as the position of Sangong, at least, there should be a seat for Jiuqing, and based on this alone, my Ju family is worth the gamble!"

In the words of the Patriarch of the Ju family, there is hidden lofty ambition. It is really hard to believe that these words are actually spoken from the mouth of a dying old man.

But the head of the Tian family believes that these words are definitely from the heart of the head of the Ju family.

The reason why the nobles in Hebei were alienated from the Han Dynasty was because all the cakes made by the Han Dynasty were shared by Sili, Yingchuan and other Guanzhong aristocratic families.

Is what is left to them from Hebei, Jiangdong, Jingxiang, Bashu and other gentry clans just some leftovers?

Now that there is finally a glimmer of light, it would be strange if the Patriarch of the Ju family didn't put in all his strength.

After a long silence, the head of the Tian family gave a wry smile, pointed at the head of the Ju family and said, "You, you, you, I didn't expect that someone who is almost eighty years old still needs to be lectured by you before he can wake up. Anyway... …”

The Patriarch of the Tian family sighed, and said: "Since Gongyu (the word given by Ju) has already gone to Jizhen, let Yuan Hao stay in Jizhen. Ji Town, so that those jumping clowns won't run around."

The Patriarch of the Ju family finally stretched his brows and smiled slightly when he heard the words, nodded and said: "That's very good, brother, don't worry, I will let the prince and the eldest son share it for Yuan Hao."
