Great Wei Nengchen

Especially Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, one is the eldest son and the other is the beloved son. In order to compete for the reserve position, they are almost facing each other. The second son Yuan Yi is not a good thing.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Faced with such a chaotic situation, Yuan Shao, as a father, has nothing to do. He and the Yuan Shu brothers are fighting to the death, if the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, what qualifications does he have to discipline his sons?

In desperation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to separate the three sons and let them live in each side. The eldest son Yuan Tan was the governor of Qingzhou, the second son Yuan Yi was the governor of Youzhou, and the third son Yuan Shang stayed in Jizhou to help with some government affairs. Use this method to make them more stable, but it will be counterproductive, and the fight will intensify instead!

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi took office, they moved around, connected with each other, and vigorously cultivated their own personal influence. The third son, Yuan Shang, was not idle in Jizhou. He also had a large number of network wings, bought civil and military officials in Hebei, and even secretly raised them. The dead soldier, sharpening his knife, pointed at his two elder brothers!

With the internal struggle between the Yuan family brothers, the civil and military forces in Hebei also split into three parts, each supporting a young master, fighting openly and covertly, fighting for power and profit, resulting in great internal friction...

Tian Feng, Jushou and other counselors talked about it in private, "Hebei's soldiers and horses are the most powerful among the princes. If they can work together, they will be invincible in the world. Unfortunately, I'm afraid of disasters, and brothers will kill each other..."

505. Chapter 505 is an opponent, but also a friend!

As more and more envoys pay their respects to the birthday, the presents presented are also various, including gold, silver, jewellery, antique calligraphy and paintings, even famous horses, flying eagles, hounds, charming beauties... everything!

Among the many gifts, two are the most eye-catching, one is the heaviest and the other is the lightest!

Inspector of Bingzhou - Zhang Yang's gift is the heaviest, it is a whole county. Over the past few years, Hebei forces have been encroaching on the land of Bingzhou, infiltrating, buying, wooing, attacking..., all kinds of methods are used, Zhang Yang is giving in again and again. Rang, there is nothing to do, this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of birthday celebration, he simply donated a county of land on the border, hoping to satisfy Yuan Shao's appetite!

It's a pity that Zhang Yang's method of 'cutting the meat to feed the tiger' is counterproductive and will only arouse the tiger's appetite. Looking at the map of the city presented by the envoy, Yuan Shao just said lightly, "Although this map is good, it is not complete. If you have the heart, why don't you come to Yecheng for a while?"

The heart of annexation is clearly revealed!

'Little Overlord'-Sun Ce's gift is the lightest. It is a ladle of ordinary river water, put it in a jar, paste it with a red cross, and send it directly to Yecheng.

In this regard, Yuan Shao was very magnanimous. Not only did he happily accept it, but he also deliberately placed it at the top of the gift pile for the guests to watch. In addition, this hero from Hebei privately said to the people around him, "Jiangdong Sun Ce is brave and staunch. If you had a son like this at the beginning, what regrets would you have if you died?"

It can be seen how much Yuan Shao values ​​Sun Ce, a young man in his early twenties, who built a huge foundation with bare hands, dominated Jiangdong, and ranked with the princes of the world, and then looked at his three precious sons, who are amateurs in foreign wars and experts in internal fighting , In contrast, the difference is more than a thousand miles away?

"Worthy of being the leader of the princes and alliance, even Jiangdong's 'Little Overlord' has sent gifts. From then on, who dares to resist Hebei Bingfeng?"

"Yes, everyone in the world says that the one who replaced the Han Dynasty is none other than the Yuan family. I thought it was the one from the south, but I didn't expect the one from the north to win in the end. What a twist of fate!"

"Hehe, it's too early to say that, the princes of the ten directions, there are only seven families here~~ The rest are Xuzhou, Xuchang, and Lujiang..."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall again. Everyone knew that the remaining three princes who did not appear were Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, but the situations of the three were different.

Lu Bu didn't come because he was besieged by Cao Cao's army and couldn't send envoys at all. The princes of the ten directions, I'm afraid this one will be eliminated soon!

Cao Cao didn't come because he was besieging Lu Bu. Once Xuzhou was captured by him, the prime minister of the great Han would have the strength to contend with Hebei.

As for the last Yuan Shu, many people have already dismissed him in their hearts. Sun Ce's Jiangdong troops are attacking Lujiang County, and they are invincible wherever they go. At this time, the head of the "false emperor" is still on his neck. , it's hard to say!

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ …………

The guests are waiting, the envoys are waiting, and Yuan Shao is also waiting. It depends on whether the prime minister will send envoys, who will be sent, and what attitude will they have?

Competition is competition. In the city of Xuchang before, Cao Cao used the name of the little emperor Liu Xie to order the princes of the world, so that the heroes bowed their heads obediently and offered a lot of treasures. It really stole the limelight and earned enough face!

Now Yuan Shao took the opportunity of hosting his own birthday banquet to summon the princes of the world. He just wanted to let the world see that he could command the world with the reputation of the Yuan family's "four generations and three princes" without using the name of the little emperor!

Time passed little by little, and Cao Cao's envoy still did not appear. In the hall, the faces of many guests gradually became brighter. Some were surprised, some regretted, and some secretly sneered...

On the main seat, Yuan Shao looked as usual, put one finger on the table, and tapped lightly, from slow to urgent, from light to heavy, and finally beat the rhythm of the drums, and there was a strong murderous aura, as if There are thousands of troops and horses about to roar out...

Speaking of the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it can be described as complicated. The two met each other when they were teenagers, and they were still very good playmates. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are close friends!

Later, the two entered the official career together, entered the shogunate of the great general He Jin together, got along day and night, and conspired for great things. The friendship between the two appeared at that time. In terms of family background, stature and appearance, Yuan Shao was undoubtedly much better than Cao Cao. , but when it comes to strategy, military strategy, and especially insight into major events in the world, the two happened to have a big rebellion. How did this make Yuan Shao, who is proud and arrogant, suffer?

Fight, cooperate, fight again, cooperate again... over and over again, but one thing Yuan Shao can be sure of is that Cao Cao will definitely send someone to his birthday banquet, because they are good friends first, and opponents second!

"Xuchang envoy, Mr. Ziyi is here!"

Following the ceremonial officer's praise, Jiang Gan, who was wearing a red dress and combed his hair meticulously, walked into the lobby slowly, holding a long gift box in his hand, and saluted very respectfully, "Prime Minister Cao Order, here is a pair of couplets, I wish General Yuan a long and healthy life, and a long life!"

"Haha!~~" Yuan Shao finally looked up to the sky and burst out laughing, "Meng De is indeed a caring person!"

Immediately, an attendant stepped forward to help Jiang Gan unfold the couplet, and watched it in public:

Shanglian: Sitting on three states, seeing all directions, laughing at the surging mountains and rivers!

The second couplet: A pot of dirty wine, two people who are close friends, drunk and asked who is the hero in the world!

When you write like a dragon and a snake, there is a world in your belly, and there seems to be thousands of troops and horses galloping between the lines, but there is a deep sense of loneliness outside the words. This kind of couplet can only be written by the confidant, and only the confidant can write it. look!

"Good! Good! I am a strong enemy and a good friend, and Cao Mengde knows my heart!" After Yuan Shao looked at it for a long time, he ordered people to hang this couplet on both sides of the hall as an honor. At the same time, he entertained Jiang Gan and asked about it Here comes the battle situation in Xiapi!

"I heard that Mengde suffered a setback in Xiapi and lost his troops. If necessary, I can use all the troops from Hebei to help out and capture the tiger dove together to achieve great success. How about it?"

"Thank you General for your kindness. Before I got up, the Prime Minister had explained that Xiapi is a small place, and you can go down sooner or later. Hebei has a strong front, and it is a place to gallop in the west!"

"Hehe, Meng De is still so sensible, rare, rare!" Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and laughed, just now, during the question and answer, he actually made a deal!

Yuan Shao said that he sent troops to help the battle, but it was just a false statement. Once the soldiers and horses in Hebei were killed, they were called to capture Lu Bu, but in fact they would capture Xuzhou. Naturally, Cao Cao refused to share a piece of the fat that he could eat, but he didn't want to offend Yuan Shao, so he did it A compromise was made, I will fight Xuzhou, you will fight Bingzhou, we will each fight our own, and no one will make trouble!

While they were talking, Tian Feng, a counselor, suddenly walked in with an anxious face, holding two urgent reports in his hand, "My lord, it's news from Lujiang!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shao took it over to watch, and his expression was stunned. The content of the news was very simple, "Sun Ce conquered Lujiang and surrendered all of them. The 'false emperor' Yuan Shu disappeared in the chaos, and his life and death are unknown!"

"The envoy from Lujiang will not appear anymore... I have hated and fought all my life, but he is my own brother after all!" The letter fell to the ground, and Yuan Shao's heart was empty, "One world, two brothers, no more There is no day to see each other!"

Please support the original version. After all, the baron also needs to live and eat, so that I can concentrate and finish writing this novel. Thank you!

506. Chapter 506

Jiangting, also known as Wangjiangting, is a very ordinary small town in Lujiang County. Because of the high terrain here, you can see the Yangtze River flowing eastward, so it got its name!

Since it is a small town, the population will not be too large, and it will not be too rich.

After some counting, the "Zhong Dynasty" still owns a land area of ​​140 li, a population of [-], [-] people, and [-] buckets of grain in the national stockpile, which is still full of bran. As for other things, they have been thrown away on the way to escape. clean...

After retiring from the court, Yuan Shu held his head in thought. Just a few days ago, he owned a rich city with countless treasures, food, weapons, armor... and the hope of making a comeback. But now, these things They were all taken over by the 'Little Overlord'-Sun Ce, the Zhong Dynasty was completely defeated, the Empress Yang hanged herself, the prince Yuan Li died in the rebellion, and hundreds of concubines became other people's trophies~~
