Chen Feng said slowly: "Moreover, I suspect that Yuan Tan has sent people to infiltrate these people, so it is still impossible to fully control these people."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "I expected this a long time ago. My eldest brother has a nominal army of [-] in Qingzhou, but secretly recruiting troops, he probably has an army of no less than [-].

And I only have 3 troops in Youzhou, even if I add my second brother's [-] troops in Bingzhou, it's still not an advantage.

In addition, my elder brother has always treated those generals in the army favorably as the eldest son. I learned that my elder brother had started to attack my father's direct troops in the early years.

At that time, if his father hadn't stopped and scolded him in time, he might have become the most powerful faction in Hebei. My big brother, my mind is really not simple. "

Chen Feng nodded and said, "What about Shen Pei and Feng Ji?"

"Fengji is already on my side. As for the trial and match, I don't want to participate too much in this internal struggle."

Yuan Shang explained: "However, I am at a clear disadvantage now. When my elder brother was in Qingzhou, he had wiped out many hostile forces and made great military achievements. However, I have only been in charge of Youzhou for less than a year, so I have no record at all. .

Without credit, there is no capital, and there is no chance to compete for the Lord of Hebei.All these years in Youzhou, I have only been making minor disturbances, and I have never had the chance to make great contributions.

It's my elder brother who earned some fame with his father in the early years. Alas, I'm not as good as I am now. "

Chen Feng nodded and said: "My lord's words are even true. Now, based on prestige and combat achievements, Yuan Tan is clearly superior. But fortunately, we still have time. As long as we operate properly, everything still has a chance. "

Yuan Shang agreed after hearing this, and then said: "That's why I asked you to enter the city, now Fengji and I can't leave Jizhou, and I can't mobilize the army in Youzhou.

I plan to let you go to the front to resist Cao Jun, and you should try your best to gain some military exploits for me.

At the same time, my elder brother will definitely send people to the front line, you have to find a way to get ahead of them.

The front line is unstable, and my father has just passed away. At this time, my eldest brother must not dare to casually raise the matter of enthronement, and most of the elders in the city are still waiting and watching.

This time, after you get to the front line, you must find a way to grab the control of the front line. If my elder brother's people take the lead, I will definitely have no chance.

Now is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can't mobilize the manpower in Youzhou, so I can only rely on you. Besides, you have made a lot of contributions a while ago, so it's time for me to promote you. "

Chen Feng secretly laughed in his heart: "It doesn't take much effort to get it, don't worry, I won't let others succeed at the front line, not even you. Hmph."

Chen Feng left after taking the order. Now the situation is obvious. Although there is open and secret fighting in Jizhou City, there will be no result for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Feng stayed away from Jizhou to build his own team.Thinking of this, Chen Feng couldn't help being happy, this Yuan Shang was indeed a little tender.

Chapter 8

The next day, Jizhou City was completely deserted, and the whole city was under martial law, and everyone mourned Yuan Shao's death in silence.

Although Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and some elders wanted to confirm the position of the Lord of Jizhou as soon as possible at this time, it was obviously inappropriate now.

Yuan Shao had just died, and it would take at least three months to handle the posthumous affairs. Anyway, Yuan Shao was considered a marquis, so the posthumous affairs must be grand.

However, Cao Cao at this time would not miss the old love.Not long ago, a military report came from the front. Jushou, who was in charge of the overall situation on the front line, was broken by Cao Cao in the defense of the city. Jushou was captured. Later, he wanted to escape, but was caught and killed by Cao Cao.

This news is bad news for everyone in Yecheng, and it just makes the situation worse.

Not long after Yuan Shao died, Cao Cao broke through their defenses on the front line. Now that no one is in charge of the overall situation, if Cao Cao is allowed to seize the loophole, the consequences will be disastrous.

The situation is precarious, and Cao Cao is rectifying his troops and preparing for further attacks.However, Yuan Shao passed away at this time.

The people in Jizhou City were in a state of panic. Many people secretly said that the Yuan family had already lost. Many people even started to prepare for their own family's retreat. They didn't want to follow the Yuan family all the way to the dark.

In Yuan Shao's mansion, Yuan Shao's coffin is placed in the hall, as for Yuan Shao's old ministries, they are kneeling in the hall now.

Guo Tu is one of the veterans who have followed Yuan Shao for the longest time. In addition, Guo Tu is usually good at flirting and flattering, and is the best at being a man. Therefore, Yuan Shao has always valued Guo Tu.Therefore, it is Guo Tu who is currently in charge of Yuan Shao's affairs.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was mourning Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan gave Guo Tu a wink, and Guo Tu nodded knowingly, implying that Yuan Tan should not be in a hurry, now is not the time to be in a hurry.

After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Guo Tu said: "The situation is critical now. As a lord and subject, I wish to be the lord. How can I be sad here? If Cao Cao came in like this, we will Wouldn't it be shameful to wait for the lord?"

The judge stood up at this time: "Yes, the reason why the master died is all because of Cao Cao. Now that the master has just passed away, Cao Cao must want to take this opportunity to attack Jizhou in one fell swoop. I should resist Cao Cao for the master."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement after hearing this. Those present today are all subordinates that Yuan Shao trusted before, because their families and all their properties are in Jizhou City.

Once Jizhou City is breached, their interests will not exist, so no matter what, they don't want Cao Cao to come in.

While everyone was whispering, Yuan Tan stood up suddenly and said, "My father was tricked by Cao Cao and betrayed by Xu You, and that's the root cause of his illness. Now my father has passed away in a hurry, and Cao Cao is pressing him every step of the way. As the eldest son, I should take up the heavy responsibility to resist Cao Jun.

You are all my father's old subordinates. In terms of seniority and age, I should call you uncles.

Today, I promise to my uncles that in the future, I will use Cao Cao's head to pay homage to my father's spirit in heaven. Please help me, uncles.

Yuan Tan is alone and weak. If you uncles still remember my father's old love, please help me with all your strength so that Cao Cao's plot will not succeed. "

After finishing speaking, Yuan Tan immediately burst into tears, with a heartbroken look on his face. This sadness is not all faked, Yuan Shao is his father after all, and now that he has passed away like this, he must still be very sad in his heart .

Everyone in the hall was infected by Yuan Tan's emotions, and they all praised Yuan Tan for his filial piety.

Naturally, Yuan Shang would not allow his elder brother's blatant behavior of pulling people. Now if Yuan Tan is really allowed to sing a one-man show alone, then Yuan Shang will really only lose.

Yuan Shang hit the floor with a hammer, bleeding from his fists, but Yuan Shang didn't feel it at all, and saw Yuan Shang said viciously: "Brother said it is true, the villain Cao Cao killed my father, I wish I could peel his Skin, remove the bones.

My eldest brother aspires to avenge his father, how can I lag behind, my father loves me the most, and before I have time to repay his kindness, my father just left like this.

My heart is very sad. In this life, if I cannot avenge my father, I, Yuan Shang, will be a son of man in vain.

Today, I, Yuan Shang, swear that I will take Cao Cao's head as a memorial to my father. Father, if you are alive in heaven, please bless me to avenge this great revenge. My son must kill Cao Cao. "

Yuan Shang's words were vivid and colorful, and the punch just now was real. Everyone also expressed their approval of Yuan Shang's filial piety.

Only Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao's second son, did not participate in the performance of the two, he just threw himself on Yuan Shao's coffin and wept bitterly.

Compared with the other two brothers, Yuan Xi seemed a bit weaker. He didn't want to be involved in this kind of power struggle. He could tell that the behavior of his two brothers just now was half real and half staged.

But he doesn't mind, this is the matter of his two brothers, he doesn't want to take care of it, and he can't take care of it, he just wants to accompany his father through the last part of the journey, this is the last filial piety of a son of man.

Seeing that his third brother was finally going against him, Yuan Tan was not willing to show weakness, so Yuan Tan said: "The third brother has such filial piety, it is very comforting for my brother.

It's just that Cao Cao is insidious, the third brother is young, if he takes revenge rashly, he will definitely fall into Cao's trap, and he may not only not be able to avenge his father, but even himself will be caught in it. "

Yuan Tan's words showed that he cared about Yuan Shang on the surface, but secretly warned Yuan Shang: "Fight with me, you are still young, you'd better get out of the way, otherwise, I won't be polite."

Looking at his elder brother's provocative eyes, Yuan Shang was also full of anger.It's just that this kind of situation is not suitable for it to happen, otherwise, these veteran figures may lose the little favor they have for themselves.

Yuan Shang held back his anger, but replied coldly: "Brother has the ambition to avenge his father, and I am also my father's son, how can I give up because I am young? How can I let my elder brother bear the burden of revenge alone.

It's just that I don't know how the eldest brother plans to kill Cao thief, is he going to lead the army to defeat Cao thief, or is he going to plan for a long-term plan in the future? "

Yuan Shang deliberately emphasized the tone of the long-term plan. If Yuan Tan chose to take the long-term plan, Yuan Shang could attack Yuan Tan for his lack of filial piety, and even delay revenge.

How could such a small trick hide Yuan Tan, of course he could hear the trap in Yuan Shang's words.

Yuan Tan immediately said without hesitation: "Avenging my father can't be delayed until later. I should go and kill Cao thief before my father's heroic spirit is far away. Now that Cao thief is just annoying my border, I should lead the army to resist Cao thief and fight against him." Looking for an opportunity to defeat Cao thief and avenge his father.
