The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 563

Yuan Shao gave up the main force in Yuzhou and returned to Hebei alone with Lu Junyi, Yan Liang, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu. When he saw Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, he was deeply disappointed with his two sons!
That's right, it was disappointment. Compared to Yuan Xi, who had already died in battle, these two sons were like mud in Yuan Shao's eyes. Only in critical moments can one see a person's character and ability.

Yuan Tan's character is fine, he was anxious about his father's safety and asked Yuan Shang to send troops several times, but his ability was too poor. Qingzhou was defeated by the entire army. At the beginning, he couldn't even deal with a small Zang Ba. In Yuan Shao's eyes, Zang Ba's Taishan Army was a gang Bandit, what ability can you talk about if you can't even handle a bandit?
As for Yuan Shang, it was a matter of character. As Yuan Shao's favorite son, Yuan Shao had high hopes for Yuan Shang and believed that this son was the most like him, but now Yuan Shang has completely exposed his nature.

No responsibility!

Yuan Shao felt chilled by letting Shenpei fail in the first battle of Dongwu Yangcheng, let alone sending troops to rescue him.

The reason why Yuan Shao knew all this was that from the moment Hebei and Yingchuan recovered the news, his confidant Meng Dai wrote to Yuan Shao one by one about Yuan Shang's various behaviors in Yecheng. Most of it is Yuan Shangqi.

As for Yuan Shang, he thought that his father was in Yingchuan, although Yuan Tan had some power, but Yecheng was already his Yuan Shang's base camp, so he was a little unscrupulous, and his behavior as a rich man was fully exposed.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang blankly, and entered Yecheng with the support of Shen Pei and Meng Dai.

"Old Yuan, take Maier to pack up some money and food and go to Guanzhong to find Meng De. I believe Meng De will take good care of Maier."

As soon as Yuan Shao entered the city and saw Yuan's loyal servant, he ordered this sentence. The Maier Yuan Shao said was Yuan Shao's youngest son, who was only two years old this year, and the one who Yuan Shao didn't send troops because of Yuan Shikong's illness.

At this time, Yuan Shao was already arranging for Yuan's blood to stay. Compared with the original time and space, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao did not have such a big hatred, and Yuan Mai was only an underage child. Yuan Shao knew very well that Cao Cao would treat Maier well. Prepare for the hereafter.

Yuan Shao's return to Yecheng was a major event. Almost everyone did not believe that Yuan Shao would leave the main force and return to Hebei, but when they saw Yuan Shaogao sitting on the table in the conference hall, everyone rubbed their eyes and sat upright.

At this moment in the hall, apart from Lu Junyi, Yan Liang, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu who returned north with Yuan Shao, all the civil and military personnel in Yecheng were present, including Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan, Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Meng Dai, Chen Zhen, Cui Lin, Chen Lin, Yin Kai, Li Fu, Han Fan, Liang Qi, Yin Kui, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others.

After everyone was quiet, Yuan Shao said, "Cough! Cough! Where is Lu Heng playing now?"

"My lord! Nanpi of Bohai County is still stationed, Hejian County, Qinghe County, Yangping Country and other places are lost, and Lu Heng's army has arrived in Zhongshan Country!" The judge came out to explain the recent situation of Lu Heng's army's invasion.

When Yuan Shao heard that Lu Heng had reached Zhongshan, he frowned and glanced at Yuan Shang, feeling even more disappointed. This place is very important. If he lost this place, he would be very passive.

Some people have to wonder what is so important about Zhongshan State?Let Yuan Shao take it so seriously?

In this way, Jizhou is one of the most populous prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are 4 counties and 5 states, namely Bohai County, Hejian State, Anping State, Zhongshan State, Julu County, Qinghe State, Wei County, and Zhao State. , Changshan County.

Among them, except for Julu County, which caused a decline in population due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the others are counties and countries with large populations.

Among the many counties and countries, Wei County and Zhongshan Country are the most!why?
Wei Jun needless to say that Yecheng, an important town in Hebei, is here, which can be said to be the center of Hebei, but Zhongshan is because of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family in Hebei, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Lu family in Huainan, the Ma family in Jingzhou, the Wei family in Hanoi, and the Qin family in Yizhou. These six were the top merchants at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Supporting Sun Ce's current Sun Quan, and the Zhen family in Hebei is supporting Yuan Shao's financial resources.

Speaking of which marriage the Zhen family thought was the only marriage between Zhen Ji and Yuan Xi, but what kind of cat and dog would the Zhen family be able to make Yuan Shao, who was already the number one prince in Hebei at that time, have to marry and be tied to the battleship?
In fact, fans of the Three Kingdoms know that the Zhen family in Hebei is not weak in financial resources and the Mi family in Xuzhou, so I won’t introduce it here, and Zhongshan is where the Zhen family is located. [-]% of the Zhen family’s business takes root here, and the rest spreads around.

Yuan Shao's disappointment with Yuan Shang was because he knew how important the Zhen family was to the Yuan family, and knew that Zhen Ji was Yuan Xi's widow, but he was indifferent to Lu Heng's invasion of Zhongshan, and he didn't even show any sign of sending troops.

At this time, Yuan Shao's mind was filled with all kinds of worries. There were powerful enemies outside, and Yuan Shao knew that his body was now supported by the medicine of tiger and wolf. It was his body that was hollowed out, but he watched Lu Heng come. Yuan Shao felt unwilling to use his own hard work.

But the two sons are still not really angry. Looking at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, one is hot-blooded and incompetent, and the other is even more unbearable. I have high hopes, but now I am doubled in disappointment.

"It would be great if Xianyi (Yuan Xi) was alive!" Yuan Shao thought silently in his heart.

The second son, who was not very in my eyes before, is more peaceful and humble, although his ability is not satisfactory, but now he is much better than Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in comparison.

So what do you say?

You should never compare with a dead person, death is a kind of sublimation, no matter for love or family, as long as death is a subjective change for the living.

"Order the high-ranking officials to lead the Bingzhou army, arrive in Yecheng within ten days, and meet with a certain party before the deadline!
Cui Yan of Youzhou was ordered to lead the Youzhou Army to rescue Bohai County.

Meng Dai is preparing to go out for food, grass, and equipment. Lu Junyi, Yan Liang, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Yin Kai, Li Fu, Han Fan, Liang Qi, and Yin Kui will join me in the battle. Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Chen Zhen will join the army. Yuan Mou set off with the army to fight Lu Heng to the death.

Shenpei, Meng Dai, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi stayed in Yecheng, and Shenpei took the lead. "

"Here!"

With Yuan Shao's order, everyone stepped back and prepared, while Yuan Shang's face was pale, as if he was cold in a icy ice cellar.

Because Yuan Shao's order directly seized Yuan Shang's military power, all Yuan Shang's efforts during this period have become useless, and even transferred the two generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to Yuan Shao's subordinates. From this, it can be seen that Yuan Shao So dissatisfied with Yuan Shang.

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard Yuan Shao's order. This man had had enough of Yuan Shang's arrogance, and at this moment Yuan Shang lowered his head and had a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
