Three Kingdoms: The identity of the eldest son of the Great Wei was exposed by Dian Wei

Chapter 108: Yuan Shao’s Death, the Yuan Family is torn apart!!

Jizhou, Anping, Yuanfu.

Since the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao has been ill, lying on the sick bed looking at Tian Feng who came to visit, frustrated and others, and said weakly.

“How is the recruitment situation of our army now, when I have enough troops, I will fight Cao Mengde again!”

Listening to Yuan Shao’s inquiry, everyone was a little hesitant, after all, the retreat in Guanduzhi abandoned many soldiers and made the soldiers chill.

Coupled with the propaganda of some well-intentioned people, recruiting soldiers has become a problem, and even the attitude of some previous families has become ambiguous.

The current recovery of combat strength is extremely slow, everyone pondered for a moment and did not know how to speak, if the truth was said, Yuan Shao would definitely not be able to accept it.

Yuan Shao looked at the way everyone was supporting themselves and seemed to understand something, his face flushed a little, and said with a bitter smile.

“It’s not easy to recruit, I should have thought of it when I evacuated at that time, no wonder those soldiers and soldiers.”

“If I had fought to the death at that time, I might have been able to kill a way to survive, and I didn’t have to abandon those soldiers to create the current situation.”

“But the matter has come to this, it is still necessary to make good preparations for the border, now Cao Mengde is strong and may attack at any time!”

When he said this, Yuan Shao paused slightly and coughed lightly, and when he blocked it with his hand, he found a trace of blood in his hand.

When everyone saw this and was about to step forward to care, Yuan Shao waved his hand weakly to let everyone retreat, and said forcefully.

“I know my body myself, I am afraid that I will die at any time, but the heir has not been established, and I will confirm it now.”

“I have three sons, and three of them, Xianfu, are most like me, but…”

Before Yuan Shao finished coughing violently, Tian Feng and several close people hurriedly stepped forward, only to hear Yuan Shao’s intermittent words.

Tian Feng and the others did not hear very clearly, but Yuan Shao died without confirming clearly, and no one else knew what Yuan Shao said in the end.

Tian Feng and Frustrated Zhi looked at each other, nodded slightly, already had a calculation in their hearts, and said to everyone waiting in frustration.

“The lord duke explained before his death, let me wait to support the third prince Xianfu, and I will be the new general in the future.”

“I hope I will wait for a good help, Cao Mengde is still watching, I will work together to further develop.”

Frustrated and Tian Feng and others knew that Yuan Shao liked Yuan Shang more, and also made some arrangements and investments along the way, and Yuan Shang controlled the most power.

He was the heir of Yuan Shao Neiding before, but now Yuan Shao died suddenly, and the heir he said on his deathbed was the person they said.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping and the others were slightly gloomy, and they had already bet on Yuan Shao’s eldest son, Yuan Tan.

Although Yuan Tan was not Yuan Shao’s favorite son, the identity of the eldest son was obviously more suitable for inheriting Yuan Shao’s inheritance, Guo Tu immediately retorted.

“The eldest prince Xiansi is the eldest son, and according to etiquette he should be the heir, and the establishment of the elder and not the young is the basis for preventing trouble.”

“Now that our army is newly defeated, we must be more cautious in the selection of heirs, and the lord does not want to see chaos within the forces.”

Xin Ping and the others of Yingchuan’s faction hurriedly stepped forward to echo the reason, and there were many people who supported it for good reasons, but Tian Feng secretly gave the same faction a look.

Fengji and the judge immediately realized that they had been holding back for a long time, and they had long turned to Yuan Shang because of their pride and extravagance, which made Yuan Tan disgusted.

Now hearing that Guo Tu and Xin Ping wanted to support Yuan Tan, they naturally wouldn’t agree, but not to mention being instructed by Tian Feng, Fengji immediately stepped forward and said.

“The Lord Duke has already confirmed the Third Prince Xianfu as the heir before his death, is it possible that you want to go against the Lord Duke’s wishes?”

“Moreover, the third prince Xianfu has the most soldiers and horses, and he is more convincing, which can also make the states and counties under my control stable.”

The judges and other Jizhou factions hurriedly echoed, and most of the people followed, but Guo Tu and Xin Pingjian had no way to refute and chose to remain silent.

However, his heart did not calm down, and Guo Tu and Xin Ping quietly retreated when everyone was preparing to discuss the inheritance ceremony.

A few days later, Liyang.

Yuan Shao’s eldest son Yuan Tan was stationed here, and since Yuan Shao retired, fearing that Cao Cao would attack him, he sent many soldiers and horses to guard here.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping came overnight with the guards, just to see Yuan Tan, and under the leadership of the guards, they went to the county guard’s mansion and bowed their hands.

“I waited to see the eldest duke, and the lord passed away a few days ago.”

“What?”

Yuan Tan suddenly exclaimed, Yuan Shao’s death so quickly caught him a little off guard, and a look of grief appeared on his face, and he said slowly.

“My father passed away, why didn’t I receive the news, it shouldn’t take long to speed up!”

In the face of Yuan Tan’s question, Guo Tu and Chief Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still a plan for the matter, Guo Tu said loudly.

“Grand Duke Qiyu, now that the Third Prince has succeeded to the position of Great General, Anping County is under the control of the Third Prince and others.”

“If you didn’t notify the Grand Duke at the first time, you must be speeding up the time to gather the forces, and then summoning the prince to Beijing after everything is stable.”

“It should be afraid that the grand duke will seize the position of the grand general, after all, the grand duke is the eldest son, and there are still many people who support the grand prince.”

Guo Tu’s slightly provocative words made Yuan Tan’s face turn gloomy, and now the position of inheritance was actually snatched by Yuan Shang, and he snorted coldly.

“This is to take advantage of my absence in Anping, my third brother is really not simple, he is so guarded, he didn’t even tell me about his father’s death.”

“I’m still stupidly guarding the border of Jizhou, Gongzhi, Zhongzhi, have you come to think about this trip?”

After Yuan Tan finished speaking, he stared closely at Guo Tu and Xin Dian, although he knew that the two had already decided to surrender, Xin Ping and Guo Tu solemnly said.

“I will wait to see the lord duke, the lord duke is the eldest son, when he inherits the position of the great general, I am willing to swear allegiance to death!”

The two were very decisive in terms of showing their attitude, after all, they had already considered coming from Anping, Yuan Tan nodded and said.

“After that, it’s up to you to plan for me, my third brother can’t be the lord of these three states, Qingzhou is in my hands, and Youzhou is in the hands of my second brother.”

At the same time, Xudu, Cao Mansion, Council Chamber.

Cao Cao took Cao Chen and other strategists to look at the battle report on the case, it was the news from Jizhou, Cao Cao said after a slight groan.

“I didn’t expect that after the official crossing, the original brother actually passed away, which is really embarrassing, I thought I would have another fight.”

For Cao Cao’s exclamation, everyone was also a little stunned, after all, they all knew that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were small, and they had a good relationship before.

But this battle that Guandu used as a bet for a day, and in the end, Yuan Shao left the scene in disgrace, and Cao Chen saw this and said indifferently.

“Father, it’s not a bad thing for Yuan Benchu to leave here, at least the land of the three states he fought for when he was dying is still there.”

“And now, his three sons control the land of the three states, and in the future, they will definitely attack themselves and kill each other.”

“It seems that I can postpone the day of recovering the north, after all, if it is attacked now, the three brothers should be united in their will.”

When Cao Chen’s words fell, a strange color flashed in everyone’s eyes, and what Cao Chen said was the current situation in Ji, Qing, and Youzhou.

Everyone has received news that it is his third son Yuan Shang who succeeds Yuan Shao, so how can Yuan Tan, as the eldest son, be convinced.

And Yuan Shao’s second son, Yuan Xi, is deep in Youzhou, just enough to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the final ownership of the three states is not easy to say.

After the three of them attacked each other, it would be much easier to attack again, Guo Jia’s eyes flashed a ray of essence, and said with a smile.

“… Lord Qi, now we should indeed suspend the mobilization of troops against the north as Shizi said, so that we can take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. ”

“When I wait for the dispatch of troops, it will definitely be easy to take the devastation, so it is better for me to reserve grain and other materials first.”

“At that time, after I recover the three northern states, I can take the opportunity to directly appease the soldiers and people who have been fighting for a long time and win the hearts and minds of the people.”

“And the strength of Yuan Shao’s three sons is not equal at all, I believe that it won’t be long before someone will ask me for help.”

Listening to Guo Jia’s confident words, everyone nodded thoughtfully, and now they don’t attack in order to consume the strength of the other party.

At the same time, there is also time to prepare for a rainy day and prepare for the complete recovery of the north, and experienced the Battle of Guandu and Yuan Shao’s overdraft of soldiers and horses.

Coupled with the subsequent struggle for power between the three Yuan Tan brothers, the land of the three states will continue to suffer from wars and turmoil, and it will not stabilize either.

Cao Cao smiled and nodded to Guo Jia, after all, this is in the greatest interest to Cao Ying, Guo Jia continued.

“According to intelligence, Yuan Shang is equivalent to inheriting most of Yuan Benchu’s strength in Jizhou, as well as the support of many strategists and military generals.”

“Then Yuan Shang’s forces are far superior to Yuan Tan, who is stationed on the border, and if the two have a fight in the process of fighting for power, it will definitely be Yuan Tan who will fall behind.”

“It is very likely that I will borrow troops from me, and when the time comes, I can send troops and directly recover the entire northern territory, as for Yuan Tan…”

Guo Jia stopped when he said this, after all, Cao Cao sighed and said with a sigh that the decision of Yuan Benchu’s heir was in Cao Cao’s hands.

“I have been looking at each other for a long time, and I have some feelings, if my nephew is sensible, he will definitely continue to give incense to his Yuan family.”

Cao Cao’s next words were not finished, everyone had understood, and Cao Chen said after a little thought.

“Now that the plan of the north is clear, as long as it follows the trend, and the state must also be considered by me.”

“Since there will be a war in the three states of Youqingji, then I will take the state first, after all, Si is subordinate to border the state.”

“There are no top princes in the state, I believe that as long as I open the conditions, there should be no big problem in winning.”

“And it just can put pressure on Yuan Tan and them, and speed up their determination to reunify.”
