Gongsun Zhan took Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei back to the camp, and left after some kind words and comfort. After thinking about it in his heart, he was hindered by Guan Yu, and he had no place to cry, but he still had to comfort the three of them, so Gongsun Zhan was not in a good mood.

"Big brother, Yuan Shu's thief is arrogant, stay late at night, let me stab him to death with a spear!"

After Gongsun Chan left, Zhang Fei began to curse Yuan Shu in a low voice. As for stabbing Yuan Shu to death, this may be an angry remark, obviously, with Zhang Fei's xingzi, maybe he can really do such a thing.

"Third brother, be cautious!"

Guan Yu's face was full of waves, whether it was killing Hua Xiong or being despised by Yuan Shu, he couldn't make his face fluctuate in the slightest. Because, Guan Yu is an arrogant person, he has an arrogant heart, and he will not make him no longer arrogant because of Yuan Shu's words and deeds.

Although Zhang Fei said angry words, but now that the princes from all walks of life are in alliance with Dong, this cannot be said here. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Fei's words came out, Guan Yu stopped drinking, so as not to be heard by anyone and cause more accidents.

Since Yuan Shao's return from the tent, Liu Bei has not said a word, and his indifferent face makes people unable to see his true feelings. Liu Bei, who has always been moody and angry, will inevitably have a sense of anger in his heart at this moment, Yuan Shu is really rampant, and he really wants to stab Yuan Shu to death with a spear like Zhang Fei said.

However, reason told Liu Bei that he could not do so.

Liu Bei, the son of the weaving mat, has long been tired of it, and the grand ambitions he has set since childhood are still waiting for him to realize. If you have a grudge with the princes because of this small grievance, not to mention whether the grand ambition can be carried out, it is a question whether the small life can be saved.

Spit out the turbidity squeezed in his chest, suppressed his anger, cleaned up his mood again, piled up a faint smile on his face, and said guiltily: "Second brother, third brother, are all in a hurry by the eldest brother, and you two are tired of suffering." ”

"Big brother, the three of you and I have been dedicated to serving the country since we got married, hoping to get ahead and glorify our ancestors. Dong thief dictatorship, taking advantage of provocation and arson, adding to the supreme, abusing the people, and acting perversely. The princes of all walks of life gathered to beg for thieves, and they should have worked hard to encourage each other, but the princes of all walks of life have many selfish intentions. According to what my brother saw, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sustain Dong Daye, but if something happens, the alliance will fall apart in an instant!"

In Guan Yu's eyes, Yuan Shu is just a clown! The arrogant heart will not be shaken by the words and deeds of the other party. Therefore, in Guan Yu's eyes, the prospect of the alliance is the most noteworthy.

"Hehe, second brother, I see that you are usually silent, but you are so reasonable. ”

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei, and said slowly: "The eldest brother said, personal bravery is just a reckless man! If you want to be a master, you must be familiar with autumn and familiar with the art of war, so that you can command the three armies." Third brother, you usually have a lot of leisure and are familiar with the art of war, why do you drink all the time. ”

"What the second brother said is very true, but the words on the art of war are smaller than flies, and I have a headache when I see it, and it is better to drink and be happy. Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu had a tendency to preach, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Second brother, you said earlier that this alliance will change, and if you can get there, I will take Yuan Shu's rank and see how he makes noise in front of me!"

"Third brother, if you open and close your mouth, you are taking people, are you the enemy of the world?"

Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu's tone couldn't help but be a little harsh, and he was about to be reprimanded, but Liu Bei explained gently: "Third brother, what the second brother said is very true! Yuan Shu is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, the fourth and third duke of the Yuan family, and he is very famous. And the princes from all walks of life gather to beg Dong, if we attack him, the name of benevolence and righteousness is lost, how will the people of the world view us? If the alliance changes, we should leave, and after we can strengthen our army, we will find an opportunity to fight the thief. ”

"Hehe, what the eldest brother taught me is that I listen to the orders of the eldest brother!"

Seeing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei scratched the back of his head with a sincere expression, not daring to say anything more. If Guan Yu reprimanded him, the two would at most pick up weapons and fight; if they were reprimanded by Liu Bei, all kinds of ancient words would give Zhang Fei a headache!

"Lord County Commander, the deputy alliance leader has come to pay a visit!"

Liu Bei saw the expression on Zhang Fei's face, and knew that he didn't listen to his words, and was teaching again, but the soldiers outside the tent reported that Cao Cao had come. didn't care about teaching Zhang Fei at the moment, and led the two out to greet Cao Cao.

……

In Yuan Shao's tent, Yuan Shao's advisers and generals also left, and only Yuan Chang and Yuan Shao were left in the tent.

"Alliance Leader!"

"Brother Chang, now there is no one around, you and I are our own family, there is no need to be so angry!"

As soon as Yuan Chang spoke, he was interrupted by Yuan Shao. From saying good things to praise himself before, and finally leaving another person, Yuan Shao has already understood that Yuan Chang wants to be good friends with himself. Although he didn't understand why Yuan Chang, who had been following Yuan Shu, was courting him, Yuan Shao didn't mind accepting it.

There are a total of six people in Yuan Shao's generation, four of whom are Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu and Yuan Chang are all from Yuan Feng, although Yuan Shao was passed on to Yuan Feng's brother Yuan Chengzi, but in general, he is still Yuan Feng's son. In addition, there is Yuan Ping's son Yuan Yi, who is also one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, Shanyang Taishou, and Yuan Kui's son Danyang Taishou Yuan Yin.

As the head of the family, leading thousands of children of the Yuan family in the world, the head of the family is undoubtedly a very important depository.

Now the head of the Yuan family is Situ Yuan Kui, but Yuan Kui is already very old, and many things seem to be more than enough to deal with, and it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian. Therefore, the head of the Yuan family chose among these six children.

Yuan Ji is Yuan Feng's eldest son and Yuan Shu's half-brother. It stands to reason that he should have a better chance of taking over as the head of the family than Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Jisheng was indifferent, he didn't care about these at all, and he didn't have the slightest idea about the position of the head of the family. That's why Yuan Shu became so active. As for Yuan Chang, not to mention, he only knows how to slap horses, if the Yuan family is handed over to him, the Yuan family will die in a few years.

Therefore, in the end, the successor of the head of the Yuan family chose between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Of course, the head of the family does not mean that whoever wants to be can be the one, but is elected at the triennial annual meeting of the Yuan family.

The Yuan family gathers a small gathering every year to settle the achievements or mistakes of the main family and the collateral family in the past year. The big gathering of three years is to summarize the achievements of the past three years. If the situation is bad for three years, then the head of the family must take the blame and choose a better person to take over. If the situation is good or there is no change, usually the head of the family will succeed him. The election of the head of the family at the three-year gathering is elected by all the men of the main family, as well as by the heads of the side families.

And this year is the third year, and the Yuan family will elect a new head of the family in a crucial year. In the past two years, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have made their own contributions, and the results they have achieved are comparable. Therefore, this third year will determine which of the two will eventually become the head of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao is now the leader of the alliance, if he succeeds in courting Dong, then this achievement alone will allow him to steadily obtain the throne of the head of the Yuan family.

Yuan Chang is fifteen years old this year, and he happens to be able to participate in the family meeting, and he also has a vote in his hand. Yuan Chang took the initiative to show favor to himself, and Yuan Shao naturally would not let it go.

"The eldest brother commanded, and the younger brother did not dare to disobey. The eldest brother is now the leader of the alliance, but he can still be so approachable, but the third brother is not as tolerant and generous as the eldest brother, even if he treats the meritorious person, he is also so mean, and it is chilling. ”

Yuan Chang praised Yuan Shao with a flattering smile, and at the same time seemed to "inadvertently" point out the shortcomings of Yuan Shu.

"Oh!"

Yuan Shao's thick eyebrows were raised, he snorted softly, his fingers tapped on the case, and asked lightly: "Brother Chang, you have always been friendly with the highway, why did you slander him behind his back? As an eldest brother, I want to teach you well." ”

Yuan Chang deeply despised Yuan Shao in his heart, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always had a bad relationship, and he said bad things about Yuan Shu, this guy was definitely very happy in his heart, just now, he saw a smile on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth. Of course, he understands these things in his heart, but Yuan Chang will not say it, for a long time in the future, he wants to follow Yuan Shao, and only following Yuan Shao's pace is the king.

Therefore, Yuan Chang once again showed a very unflattering and lowly sneer.

"Big brother, the third brother Xingzi is impatient, and it is inevitable that he will act inappropriately sometimes. The younger brother is not slandering the third brother, but telling the truth. Yuan Chang smiled shyly and put on an expression of matter-of-fact. Subsequently, seeing Yuan Chang, he smiled and said: "It is said that the eldest brother has become the leader of the alliance, and the younger brother has not yet congratulated him." In the younger brother's opinion, the eldest brother can serve as the leader of this alliance, which is more than enough, even if it is the position of a general, it is only worthy of the eldest brother's talent. ”

After listening to Yuan Chang's words, Yuan Shao understood why Yuan Chang stayed. The first point is that Yuan Chang may have had some contradictions with Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Chang is ready to take refuge in himself; secondly, he is now the leader of the alliance and has a bright future.

Now that he knows what Yuan Chang means, Yuan Shao wants to take care of it.

"Haha!" As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shao suddenly laughed out loud. "Brother Chang, this is said in private, if it is heard, I am afraid of the handle. ”

The general is a military general, and his position is higher than that of the three dukes. However, at certain times, the status of the Great General was higher than that of the Three Princes. For example, Wei Qing, the great general of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because his sister Wei Zifu was the empress of the dynasty, Wei Qing's status was even higher than that of the third duke;

Therefore, Yuan Chang praised Yuan Shao for being able to be qualified for the position of general, and it was obvious that the sycophants were in place.

Although Yuan Chang's words were suspicious of sycophancy, Yuan Shao felt that his words were very in line with his thoughts. Moreover, as the leader of the coalition army, it is not impossible for the imperial court to give him a general after courting Dong.

"Yes, yes! Big brother taught me!"

Seeing Yuan Chang's submissive appearance, Yuan Shao was satisfied and a little disdainful at the same time, as a child of the Yuan family, he was so unbearable. However, Yuan Shao did not say this. Since Yuan Chang was going to be his subordinate, such a table was obviously more beneficial to him.

"Brother Chang, if you are left alone, do you have anything to say to your brother? Since you are your own family, you will be allowed to do anything for your brother!"

As the so-called radish and stick are a good way to control people, they have been taught, so the next thing is naturally to give benefits.

"Big brother, if there is chaos today, there will be many people and bandits. The younger brother walks in the way, and every time there are some displaced people, the younger brother is deeply afraid of it, lest he invite trouble. Therefore, the younger brother implored the eldest brother to give the younger brother the protection of one or two soldiers. ”
