Mourning is greater than heart death, which can be used to describe Xun Chen's mood at this moment. The Xun family has always flaunted their loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, but they know that it is correct to change the law and reform, however, for the sake of the family, they would rather not choose to change the law and reform, and would rather let the root cause of the turmoil in the world exist than want to change.

The family only provides some talented children for the imperial court, so that they can help the imperial court manage political affairs, so that they can shout loyalty and patriotism. In that case, wouldn't Yuan Chang be a saint among the loyal monarchs and patriots? It's just that the elders are obviously old and no longer ambitious, and it is useless to talk to them no matter how much they talk, maybe they just want to spend the last few years of their lives happily, and what does it have to do with them as to whether the root cause of the turmoil in the world can be lifted?

Xun Wang glanced at the successor he had once favored in disappointment, and said, "If you are willing to step down as the head of the family, then there is naturally no problem. From now on, what you say and do does does not represent the position of my Xun family. If you insist on following Youzhou Mu, our elders will not stop you, I just hope you will do it yourself!"

"Thank you to the Fifth Uncle Church, Chen will remember it in my heart!"

Xun Chen bowed again and said, "This matter is over, and it is inconvenient for Chen to participate in the election of a new head of the family." After staying at home for a few days, Chen Keri was about to return to Youzhou, so he went down to prepare first, and asked a few uncles to forgive me!"

"Friends are like virtuous brothers, and slow!"

Xun Chen, who was about to turn around and leave, heard a call in his ear and looked at it fixedly. But it was Xun Yue who stopped him. Xun Chen was a little surprised in his heart, he and Xun Yue had never had any relationship. What is it to stop yourself on such an occasion today?

"Brother Zhongyu. I don't know what to call my little brother?"

"Brother Wei is a little interested in the reform and change of Youzhou Mu, and I want to go to Youzhou to see it, I wonder if you can recommend it to Youzhou Mu for Brother Wei?" Xun Yue said with a smile.

"Brother Zhongyu is invited, Chen dare not obey his orders!"

For Xun Yue's request, Xun Chen was naturally extremely excited. Xun Yue is willing to follow him to Youzhou, obviously having the same ideals as him, it can be seen that the children of the Xun family are not all a group of people who eat and wait for death except for him, Xun Yu, and Xun You. Now Yuan Changxin has entered Youzhou. Although his subordinates are said to be full of talents, Yuan Chang often sighs that there are not enough people, and now Xun Yue is willing to follow him to Youzhou, which is naturally a good thing. As for Xun Yue's ability, Xun Chen is not very clear, but he also knows that Xun Yue went to a few uncles' houses to borrow books to read by himself when he was a child, and his ability is not bad.

"Brother Youruo, can you count my two brothers? ”

Xun Yue just finished speaking. Xun Shuang's two sons, Xun Ji and Xun Qu, also stood up and said. Xun Ji and Xun Qu are also in their early twenties now, and when they are young, they also want to go out to do a career. Moreover, their thinking is mostly influenced by Xun Shuang, who has always advocated An Limin. And Yuan Chang's change is also in line with Xun Shuang's thoughts, plus Xun Ji and Xun Qu are not bound by family interests, so they naturally want to follow Xun Chen to Youzhou.

Xun Jian and Xun Qu's abilities, Xun Chen also didn't know. However, the descendants of the Xun family are well educated. Since Xun Ji and Xun Qu were willing to follow him, how could he refuse. can bring a few capable children of the family to Yuan Chang. I think Yuan Chang will also be very happy.

On the side, another person hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Youruo, can you pick me up." ”

But said that the person who stood up and spoke was Xun Qu, Xun Tan had two sons, Xun Yi and Xun Qu, Xun Yi had died, leaving only Xun You's son. And Xun You is now serving under Cao Cao, and Xun Qu, as Xun You's own uncle, it stands to reason that it will be more advantageous to serve Cao Cao with his nephew. However, because of two reasons, Xun Qu had the idea of following Xun Chen to Youzhou to serve Yuan Chang.

First of all, one reason is that Xun Qu, as an uncle, if he has to rely on his nephew to get ahead, he will obviously feel a little ashamed, Xun Qu is also a scholar, so he naturally can't do this kind of thing; Xun Yi died, and his son Xun Yu served under Cao Cao, if he also went to serve under Cao Cao, if Cao Cao was defeated in the future, wouldn't his vein be in decline? In the future, if Cao Cao is defeated, he can still save the life of his nephew, and as for Yuan Chang in the future, Xun Qu can also let his son go to serve Xun You. In this way, it is an extremely good idea, there are people on both sides, and there will be no problems in the future.

"Brother Zhongqi is willing to go, and the younger brother is welcoming to Youzhou Mu!"

While Xun Chen was happy, he also felt a little emotion in his heart, and now the Xun family is torn apart. Xun Yu and Xun Yu served under Cao Cao, and now he took Xun Yue, Xun Biao, Xun Di and Xun Qu to Youzhou to serve Yuan Chang, and the rest of them naturally stayed in Jizhou to prepare to serve Yuan Shao. Although this approach is also in line with the family's choice not to put interests together, this is not due to the family's arrangement, but because of everyone's ideals, which is embarrassing. However, the matter has come to this, and Xun Chen naturally doesn't think much about it.

"You..."

Xun Tao saw that several people were going to follow Xun Chen to Youzhou to join Yuan Chang, and he immediately blew his beard angrily and glared, he did not approve of Yuan Chang's change, Xun Chen wanted to serve Yuan Chang, in his eyes, it was the disobedience of the family. And now, there are still many people following Xun Chen, how can Xun Tao not be angry.

"Brother, that's it, the family has never interfered with the choice of the children in the clan, and since they are going to Youzhou to seek business, it is inconvenient for me to dissuade them!"

However, Xun Wang, although he is now content with pleasure, he also used to be the patriarch, and it is also in the interests of the family for the children of the clan to serve different forces. As long as one of these forces can grow and become stronger, the Xun family will not be extinct, so although he does not agree with Yuan Chang's changes, he will not stop the choice of the children in the clan.

Seeing Xun Wang's persuasion, Xun Tao gave up.

After Xun Chen and a few people left. Now that Xun Chen, the head of the family, has resigned, he naturally has to choose a new head of the family. The Xun family has a total of nine sons and nephews. A Xun Yu who served under Cao Cao now has four people who go to Youzhou to serve. There are only four descendants of the lineage, Xun Yan, Xun Ren, Xun De and Xun Su. The ability of these four people can be said to be half a catty, not very good, not very bad, in the case of only these four people, it makes no difference who to choose. Since this is the case, it is natural to choose according to the seniority. Xun Yan is the oldest, and Lao Cheng should naturally choose him. However, Xun Yan said that he lacked ability and was unable to take the position of the head of the family, so he insisted on it, and in the end, it was Xun Ren's turn to choose the position. And this Xun Ren is Xun Tao's son.

And seeing that his son was able to serve as the head of the family, Xun Tao's face was still angry before. Suddenly he smiled.

The position of the previous head of the family, in the eldest Xun Jian, the second Xun Qi died early, and the third Xun Jing had no intention of being the head of the family. When the most famous sixth Xun Shuang does not meet the conditions of the head of the family, it stands to reason that it should also be extended to the fourth Xun Tao. However, when the head of the house was chosen. Several elders thought that Xun Tao's ability was slightly weaker, not as good as the fifth Xun Wang. In the end, Xun Wang served as the head of the family. In this regard, Xun Tao was naturally unconvinced. There is a mustard. However, now that feng shui is turning, the position of head of the family is finally Xun Tao's son. Lao Tzu is not as good as you, Lao Tzu's son is finally better than your son, how can Xun Tao have no reason to be happy.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad. And at this moment, in the Yecheng Prefecture Pastoral Mansion of Jizhou Governor's Office, Yuan Shao was naturally angry.

However, it was said that Yuan Shao is now the pastor of Jizhou, and not long ago, an envoy from the imperial court came to Yuan Shao and sealed Yuan Shao to lead the state pastor and Qingzhou pastor. It stands to reason that this is a thing to be happy about, why is Yuan Shao angry?

It turned out that the reason for Yuan Shao's anger was that he led the merger of the state pastor and the Qingzhou pastor.

Previously, Yuan Shao agreed to unite with Yuan Chang because Yuan Chang promised to help Yuan Shao take Qingzhou and Merge Prefecture. And now, although Yuan Shao has also won Qingzhou and Merge State, this is not the same process as Yuan Shao expected. In this attack on Youzhou, he Yuan Shao can be said to have suffered heavy losses, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are still more than 80,000, in addition, the grain and grass stored in Jizhou are also consumed because of this war. As for the Youzhou War, he Yuan Shao did not get any cheapness, but Yuan Chang made a lot of money, not only Youzhou, but also Liu He, Gongsun Xu and others. Originally, Yuan Chang wanted to help Yuan Shao send troops to take Qingzhou and Merge State, and Yuan Shao was able to get two states for nothing, and his mood was naturally not bad. However, now that he thinks that Qingzhou and Bingzhou can be obtained so easily, Yuan Shao's mood is as disgusting as eating a fly.

Previously, because the original state pastor Ding Yuan was killed, the post of state pastor was vacant, and Qingzhou was because of the Yellow Turban remnants, and after the first Qingzhou pastor was killed by the Yellow Turban remnants, no one dared to go to Qingzhou to take up his post. Later, Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, and in order to win over Gongsun Zhan, a famous general, Dong Zhuo's remaining Li Dao and Guo Yan, who controlled the imperial court, named Gongsun Zhan as the pastor of Youzhou. Who knows, Gongsun Zhan directly detained the messenger, snatched the honor guard of the Fu Festival, and led Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou pastors. The reason why Jizhou was also brought with him was naturally because of the grudge with Yuan Shao.

And Gongsun Zan was defeated, and Bingzhou and Qingzhou naturally fell into the realm of no owner, as long as they sent envoys to the imperial court, this Qingzhou and Bingzhou could naturally fall into their hands. Li Dao and Guo Yan held the Son of Heaven hostage, everyone knew that they were traitors, and whether the imperial court's orders were valid or not depended on whether everyone recognized them. Of course, for ordinary people, it has nothing to do with them who becomes the state minister, as long as they don't make their lives sad. Moreover, today's world is still surnamed Han after all, and the appointment of the imperial court still has a little deterrent effect. Therefore, as long as the imperial court issued an order, it would naturally not be a big problem to take Qingzhou and merge the state.

Thinking about it like this, Yuan Shao also understood a problem.

In fact, as long as he defeats Gongsun Zhan, he will be able to obtain the three states of Youzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou. As a result, he didn't expect this, and in vain he sent troops for Yuan Chang, and in the end he only obtained the land of two states, no matter how it was calculated, it was a loss-making business.

"Damn, Yuan Chang dares to calculate against me, I will not spare it!"

Yuan Shao said angrily, his eyes vaguely swept towards the strategists under his command, and there was a little disappointment in his heart. With so many strategists, no one could think of this, and Yuan Chang, if he was able to think of this, could he not have the credit of his strategists? Of course, Yuan Shao really thought wrong about this. After defeating Gongsun Zhan, Guo Jia did think of this, but before that, Guo Jia had not thought about it in this direction.

After all, they are still people of this era, and they are still a little in awe of the imperial court. Although the imperial court fell into the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, in the end, it still occupies the name of the imperial court, and the appointment of the head of a state should also be arranged by the imperial court in their minds. Who can think of using Li Dao and Guo Yan to benefit themselves like Yuan Chang, a traverser.

"Lord, Yuan Chengzhi's behavior is not a good person's brother, and the lord can send an envoy to Yecheng to ask for guilt!"

Guo Tu, as Yuan Shao's henchman lackey, listened to Yuan Shao's angry scolding, and immediately offered his plan. Of course, Yuan Shao was Yuan Chang's elder brother, and he dared to scold him by his name on the spot, but Guo Tu did not dare to do so. Yuan Shao is angry now, but Yuan Shao has always been changeable, who knows if he will change again in the future.

After listening to Guo Tu's suggestion, Yuan Shao frowned and thought about its feasibility.

As Yuan Shao's other henchman lackey, Guo Tu's competitor, Feng Ji jumped out and said: "Lord, Yuan Chang's move is not to take the lord in his eyes, if the lord does not punish him, Yuan Chang will definitely be even more lawless." If he sent an envoy to reprimand, Yuan Chang would definitely not pay attention to it. If the lord sends a general to Youzhou, let Yuan Chang hand over Youzhou to the lord, so that the majesty of the lord can be shown. ”

Feng Ji is so positive, naturally there is a reason for him.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao asked Feng Ji and Xu You to go to Bohai County to discuss with Yuan Shao about sending troops to Youzhou, but Yuan Chang at that time did not take Feng Ji in his eyes at all, but smiled at Xu You, which made Feng Ji extremely dissatisfied. Now that Yuan Shao is dissatisfied with Yuan Chang because of the Youzhou incident, Feng Ji naturally took the opportunity to blow the wind in his ears and let Yuan Shao take Yuan Chang down. As long as Yuan Chang loses these identities, when the time comes, he can run to Yuan Chang to show off his power and power in front of him, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart. Of course, Feng Ji, who was blinded by hatred, selectively forgot how powerful Yuan Chang was. Today's Yuan Chang, how can Yuan Shao be able to persecute the role?

Feng Ji forgot, it doesn't mean that others have forgotten, after Feng Ji finished speaking, someone immediately stood up. (To be continued.) )
