Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: I help Lao Cao fight the country

What's the point of protecting such a lord.

The examiner looked at Yuan Tan contemptuously: "My lord, these are all your housework, and I can't take care of them as an outsider. If you have anything to say, you should keep it and talk to the third lord face to face!"

Yuan Tan felt ashamed all of a sudden, he and Yuan Shang were at odds in the first place, and with the addition of such a incident, one can imagine his fate.

But he still wanted to beg the judge to let him go, but how could the judge agree.

In the end, Yuan Tan was dragged and brought to the third son Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang had listened to the trial report before meeting his elder brother Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Tan entered the room, he nodded his head and said nothing.

Yuan Shang said: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you say a word, but what's on your mind? You and I are brothers, so you might as well say it, and I can help you analyze it as a younger brother!"

Facing Yuan Shang's questioning knowingly, Yuan Tan almost knelt down when his knees softened.

Yuan Shang has quick hands and quick eyes, and he supports him:

"Brother, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you have been overworked recently and your legs can't stand straight?"

Yuan Tan looked at the slightly immature younger brother in front of him, and finally couldn't hold back, tears still fell down:

"Third brother, brother, I'm sorry, I was thinking about sneaking back to Qinghe and summoning the old department to fight against you! It's because the big brother was confused, and he listened to Guo Tu's slander, which almost caused the disaster. It was me, the big brother. I'm sorry for you!"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Yuan Shang's eyes, but he closed them immediately, and said enthusiastically:

"Brother! What do you mean? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

Yuan Tan stared blankly at Yuan Shang.

He was even more confused, as if he knew the mirror in his heart, he knew that the judge had decided to tell Yuan Shang everything about himself and Guo Tu.

It's even very possible that it was an exaggeration.

Can?

What is the meaning of Yuan Shang's ignorant appearance?

Is this playing hard to get, or pretending to be confused with understanding?

"Third brother, I..."

"Brother, there is no need to say anything. Our father passed away suddenly, and he left the main affairs of the family to me. You know, brother, that I am too young to see through some things. As a big brother, you You should help me share the burden!"

Yuan Tan became even more confused when he heard it. He had no idea whether what Yuan Shang said was true or not.

I heard Yuan Shang continue to say: "Brother, according to father's last wish, Bingzhou will be left to brother, but that white-eyed wolf high-ranking official is unwilling to cooperate, and he didn't even attend his father's funeral. He is really damned. He is so ungrateful." Brother, tell me, shouldn’t he be shredded into thousands of pieces?”

Speaking of high-ranking cadres, Yuan Tan was furious.

"This damn high-ranking official, he really deserves to die!"

"Well! Since you and I want to go together, big brother, well, in order to take back the territory left by our father, I have decided to appoint you as the governor of Bingzhou to take charge of all affairs of Bingzhou. I don't know what you think, big brother. ?”

At this point, Yuan Tan finally understood why Yuan Shang never mentioned his conspiracy with Guo Tu.

It turned out that he was waiting for himself here.

Who doesn't know, since Gao Gan can even be absent from Yuan Shao's funeral, he must already have the desire to rebel and stand on his own feet.

At this time, anyone sent to Bingzhou would undoubtedly be sent to die.

Even though Yuan Tan is sometimes unresponsive, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

On the contrary, growing up in a wealthy family like Yuan Shao, he knows more than ordinary people.

'Yuan Shang!You have such a vicious heart, you clearly want to borrow a knife to kill someone! '

Chapter 297 Yuan Shao is critically ill

Yecheng!

Inside the General's Mansion!

A strange and depressing atmosphere hangs over the whole mansion.

Yuan Tan, the eldest son who defended against Jia Xu's army in Qinghe.

Yuan Xi, the second son who stayed in Youzhou to defend against Gongsun Zan.

Bingzhou is the senior cadre who presides over the overall situation.

And the third son Yuan Shang rushed back.

The reason is because Lao Yuan is already terminally ill, and he is about to die!

I don't know whether Yuan Shao was angry or frightened.

After he came back from Anle, his physical condition deteriorated day by day.

In just a few days, I have already taken off the portrait, and I am in danger of returning to my position at all times.

As the backbone of the Hebei Yuan Group, Yuan Shao's lying down will undoubtedly make the situation in Hebei, which was already losing ground, worse.

Everyone expressed unprecedented concern about Yuan's future development.

Fengji, Shenpei, Xunchen, Jushou and others got together and had a meeting on the future direction of Hebei.

Feng Ji said: "My lords, now Mr. Yuan's health is not as good as before. It's hard to predict how long we can last. How should we deal with it?"

The judge said: "If something happens to Mr. Yuan, the hearts of Hebei will be scattered. You should let go of your previous prejudices and tide over this difficulty together!"

Xun Chen nodded: "Yes! That's right! There are still Cao Jun's soldiers pressing the border. If we don't unite, I'm afraid that the land of Hebei will change its banner!"

Ju Shou pondered for a moment and said: "The three are right. There are two imminent matters before us. The first is if Mr. Yuan is really gone, who will take his place, and the second is to How to deal with Cao Jun's next offensive."

All three nodded. As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. The most important thing before everyone is to find someone who can carry the great banner of Hebei.

Everyone felt very embarrassed about this. The difficulty was that the three sons of Yuan Shao each had their own strengths. To put it bluntly, they were all about the same. choice.

Not to mention Yuan Shao's three sons, Gao Gan is a good general, not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful, but it's a pity that he is only Yuan Shao's nephew, no matter what, he is also an outsider, and he has never been able to inherit the old Yuan's family business.

The four of them thought of something almost in tacit agreement.

If only Yuan Shao could have a son like Cao Ang!

There is no need for them as courtiers to rack their brains to predict who the future successor of the Yuan family will be!

Unfortunately, that is just fantasy.

After a moment of silence, Fengji was the first to speak:

"Gentlemen, I would like to share my old opinion. I believe that among the three sons, Yuan Tan should be the first choice in terms of qualifications and status. He has led the army for many years, is mature and stable, and is the son of Yuan's eldest son." , inheriting the position of Duke Yuan is a matter of course."

The judge said: "The eldest son is a good person, but his performance in this battle is a bit too unsatisfactory. The eldest son has lost one after another in the Qingzhou battlefield. If he succeeds Duke Yuan, I am afraid that the generals will not accept it! When the time comes Without the morale of the army, how can we compete with Cao Jun?"

"Hmm! Judge Shen is right. It's just that if you don't appoint a first son, who should you appoint? Could it be that you want to appoint a second son?" Xun Chen asked.

Ju Shou said: "Based on my understanding of Duke Yuan, my lord has always liked the third son. According to my opinion, when the lord is dying, the third son will definitely be in power!"

"But the third son is still young, how can he convince the public?"

"Oh! What a headache!"

"..."

The four discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a reason.

Who will take over from Hebei mainly depends on Yuan Shao's arrangement.

They are discussing, to put it bluntly, that is to say, the final result, no one can control.

But at this time, Yuan Shao was lying on the sickbed, and his originally vague consciousness suddenly became extraordinarily clear.

He already felt his time was approaching.

The sobriety at this time is just a flashback.

He knew that this was the last chance God gave him. If he didn't explain his funeral at this time, he would never have this chance in the future.

Yuan Shao has seen a lot of right and wrong in his life, and of course he understands that if the funeral is not explained clearly, there will be chaos in Hebei in the future.

If that's the case, there is no need for the Cao family and his sons to fight. I'm afraid these sons will fight first.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, and then he heard someone shouting beside him:

"Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong, you wake up, how do you feel?"

Yuan Shao raised his eyes and looked at the room he was all too familiar with.

He struggled to stand up, but his current body was too weak, and after a long time, he was still supported by his servants to sit up.

"Ahem! Alas!!" Yuan Shao sighed deeply, and said in a weak voice:

"Go, cough cough! Call Ju Shou, Guo Tu, Shen Pei..., and my three sons, high-ranking cadres, over here!"

As soon as he said this, the person in charge of serving him knew his intentions.

Quickly send someone to notify.

In no time, all the powerful officials in Hebei, as well as the three Yuan Tan brothers, all came to Yuan Shao's sickbed!

Jushou and Han Qiong knelt at the front of the bed, and behind them were the three Yuan brothers and a senior official.

The last is a group of civil and military ministers.

When Ju Shou saw Yuan Shao whose face had been disfigured, he felt sad for no reason.

He really never thought about how high-spirited the lord he was following was back then, but why he has become like this now.

Tears could not help but also flowed out.

Han Qiong also kept sobbing with self-blame. He always believed that Yuan Jun would not have lost so quickly if he hadn't insisted on going his own way.

If Yuan Jun hadn't been defeated, Yuan Shao wouldn't be what he is today.

The two took the lead in crying, and the three Yuan brothers behind them, as well as all the officials from Hebei, were also weeping.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao's eyes also shed the tears of a hero's late life.

He leaned in the arms of the waiter, wrapped in a thick quilt.

He coughed a few times again, and sighed leisurely:

"Gentlemen! Cough cough!! Don't be sad, gentlemen. Maybe I, Yuan Benchu, should be like this. Cough cough! Don't be sad!"

Han Qiong sobbed: "Duke Yuan! All veterans deserve to die. If it weren't for the incompetence of the old ministers, how could Yuan Gong be where he is today!"

"Old man! Don't blame yourself. Even without you, can we resist Cao's attack? Cao Ah has given birth to a good son! Cough cough!"

After saying these words, Yuan Shao coughed again.

It took a long time to calm down and continue:

"Let him get over the past, and the future of Hebei depends on the concerted efforts of all of you!"

Ju Shou wiped away the tears from his face and asked:

"Yuan Gong, have you ever thought about who will hand over Hebei?"

Jushou's words were undoubtedly the ones everyone present wanted to ask.

Especially Yuan Shao's three sons.

All three of them pricked up their ears, wanting to know who will take over the position of Lord of Hebei.

Yuan Shao's original intention was to call them here so that he could announce his last words.

But when he saw the three sons in front of him, his old problem happened again.

Look at this, look at that, I feel that no matter who is given the position of Lord of Hebei, it will hurt the hearts of the other two.

Ju Shou waited for a long time, but did not hear from Yuan Shao.

He looked up, but saw Yuan Shao was still patrolling among the three sons with his originally unglamorous eyes.

I knew he must have committed an old problem again.

Immediately, all the civil and military personnel, mainly Jushou, couldn't help complaining.

They were all anxious: "Yuan Gong!Why don't you hurry up and say it?You will become immortal, who can call the shots! '

Seeing that it is not a problem to wait like this, Ju Shou hurriedly urged:

"Yuan Gong, I wonder if you already have a suitable candidate in mind?"
