Yuan Tan, who was dragged to the front, immediately closed his mouth when he saw the potter, and did not dare to scold again, a pair of eyes staring at him, but showing the resentment in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yuan Tan, you don't need to stare at my father-in-law so hatefully, haven't you been arguing and wanting to die, I just gave you a chance. Ben Gong thought that you would shout at Yuan Jun at the head of the city to shoot arrows at you, but you didn't even let out a fart, which really made Ben Gong feel strange, do you want to die or are you afraid of death? ”

The potter's sarcastic words ruthlessly pierced the fact that Yuan Tan was afraid of death, and he immediately lowered his head, extremely ashamed, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Drag him down."

The potter didn't bother to look at him so virtuous anymore, and his eyes had turned to the north, "Order the whole army to set off early tomorrow morning and kill Ancheng." ”

……

Yecheng.

In the general's mansion, Yuan Shao, who had not recovered from his illness, was pacing back and forth in the room, with the word "uneasy" written on his pale face.

He was worried about the Battle of Neihuang.

Previously, he had received information from Yuan Shang that the pottery merchant's army had moved north from Liyang, and at this moment, most of them had been killed under the Inner Yellow City, launching the most fierce attack on Zhang He's troops.

Yuan Shao was frightened by the pottery merchants, and he was worried that Zhang He would not be able to hold it, so even if he temporarily delegated the command of the enemy to Yuan Shang, he couldn't help but want to ask.

"With the strength of General Zhang, the strength of the Inner Yellow City, it is no problem to hold on to the Inner Yellow City for ten days, as long as the Qingzhou soldiers of the second brother attack the side of the pottery thief, the danger of Hebei will definitely be solved, and the father does not need to worry too much, just recuperate with peace of mind." Yuan Shang, who was beside him, was busy comforting, and stepped forward to help Yuan Shao up.

Yuan Shao's uneasy mood eased slightly, and with the support of his son, he sat back on the couch again.

"Father, let's drink saliva." Yuan Shang intimately handed over the water again.

Yuan Shao took the water, drank a few sips, his pale face showed a rare sense of relief, looking at the capable and filial son in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Shang'er, fortunately you are here, only you know now that only you can inherit the inheritance of your father, unlike your incompetent eldest brother, who is too disappointing for your father."

"The father is serious, how dare the son compare with the father." Yuan Shang was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "Although the eldest brother is not capable, I believe that he is also dedicated to my Yuan family, and now that he has died at the hands of the pottery thief, please ask my father to read the love of flesh and blood, and forgive him for his mistakes." ”

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Shao felt more and more relieved, and thought that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan had been competing for the crown for many years, and it was rare for Yuan Shang to be so generous, which was really not easy.

Yuan Shang spied Yuan Shao's thoughts, so with tears in his eyes, he knelt down and choked up: "The eldest brother was killed by the pottery thief, the bones are gone, and the soul can't return home, it's really pitiful. ”

"Okay, good, it's rare for Shang'er to be so filial, how can you not be allowed to be a father." Yuan Shao was very pleased, and hurriedly helped Yuan Shang up with his own hands, his face was full of appreciation.

"Report-" The soldiers hurriedly broke in at this time, and shouted in a panic: "The lord of the court, the third prince, General Zhang's Neihuang soldiers have been defeated, and they have abandoned Neihuangcheng and returned to Yecheng." ”

Thundered!

A thunderbolt from the sky hit Yuan Shao's head heavily, instantly making him dizzy, and he almost turned his back in one breath, and the smile on his face shattered in an instant.

Yuan Shang, who was secretly proud beside him, was also stunned and discolored, and in a trance thought that his ears had heard it wrong.

"What's the matter with Zhang He, he is so bold, I ordered him to stick to Neihuang for ten days, how dare he abandon the city and flee?" Yuan Shao, who came back to his senses, roared and roared.

Yuan Shang also frowned deeply, and shouted: "Quickly pass Zhang He in, I want to ask him clearly." ”

After a while, the gray-faced Zhang He hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed at the feet of the Yuan family's father and son.

Without waiting for Zhang He to speak, Yuan Shao angrily reprimanded: "Zhang He, you are such a big dog, how important is Inner Huangcheng, you dare to withdraw without an order, you still have the face to come back to see me." ”

"Zhang He, before leaving, I ordered you to stick to Neihuang for ten days no matter what, with your ability, how could you abandon the city and flee so quickly, you explain it to me clearly." Yuan Shang also questioned in a deep voice, but his attitude was a little calmer than Yuan Shao.

Zhang He hurriedly said: "The lord is angry, the third prince is angry, and he was originally determined to die to stick to Neihuang, but there was a great accident, and he had to abandon the city, and he hoped that the lord would forgive his sins." ”

"Abandon the city and flee, dare to quibble!" Yuan Shao was even more angry.

"Tell me, what happened that forced you to disobey the military order and abandon the city?" Yuan Shang was suspicious.

Zhang Hesui said: "Soon after the arrival of the last general in Neihuang, the pottery thief led the army to attack, the last general was determined to defend Anyang, but when the battle was imminent, the enemy suddenly tied the eldest prince to the opposite floor, as a shield to approach the south gate, the last general was only afraid of accidentally injuring the eldest prince, so he did not dare to let the soldiers release arrows, the enemy army could wantonly attack the city, the last general was invincible, and had to abandon the city and retreat, please see the lord. ”

Another thunderbolt slammed overhead, causing Yuan Shao to stiffen on the couch for a moment, stunned.

Yuan Tan is still alive?

The pottery thief didn't kill Yuan Tan, and used it as a shield to attack the Inner Yellow City!

All this was completely unexpected by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang.

"Damn, I didn't expect you to be alive, but you still helped the pottery thief continue to plague my Yuan family, and it was a big thing to spoil me, you are really my good big brother......" Yuan Shang, who was suddenly shocked, gritted his teeth secretly, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes.

Can he not hate Yuan Tan.

This hateful eldest brother, who has been fighting with him for so many years, has caused him so much trouble, Yuan Shang has long wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible in his heart.

Now that Yuan Tan has been captured by the potters again, Yuan Shangke is relieved, thinking that this time his eldest brother will definitely die, and he has finally got rid of his competitors and can sit firmly in the storage position.

But who would have thought that the potter would use Yuan Tan as a shield to destroy his defense deployment.

Yuan Jun threw a rat and did not dare to release arrows, so the potters would take advantage of this, first capture Neihuang, and then capture Ancheng, and the soldiers approached Yecheng, at that time, how could they resist.

"Get out, get out of here—" Yuan Shao let out a roar that interrupted Yuan Shang's thoughts.

Zhang He was not asked, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.

Yuan Shang glanced at Yuan Shao, rolled his eyes a few times, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the eldest brother is blessed with a great life, and he is still alive, which is of course an unexpected joy, but he is so willing to be the shield of the pottery thief, the soldiers throw the mouse taboo, and dare not release the arrow to resist the enemy, today the pottery thief can use him to capture Neihuang, and tomorrow he will be able to break through Ancheng, but I am afraid that it will not take a few days, the pottery thief's soldiers will be killed under the city of Yecheng, alas......"

After a few sighs, Yuan Shang put the guilt of losing the city on Yuan Tan's head.

"Useless rebel, I have been ruined several times, and I have fallen into the hands of pottery thieves, and I still dare to live, where is my integrity, where is my Yuan family's style!" Yuan Shao was really angered more and more, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, as if he had regarded Yuan Tan as an enemy.

Yuan Shang saw that the time was almost there, so he knelt in front of the couch, with a sad face, and arched his hand: "Father Shuai Ling'er presides over the overall situation of the enemy, but if you want to resist the attack of the pottery thief, you must release arrows, but if you release arrows, you may accidentally injure the eldest brother, even if the eldest brother is wrong, after all, he is a flesh and blood brother with the child, and the son really can't bear to lose the eldest brother, to this point, the son no longer knows how to move, and asks the father to make it clear." ”

Yuan Shang was in a dilemma, and he had to take into account the overall situation, and he had to take into account the posture of brotherly affection, and he said something sad and indignant, but he put the burden back on Yuan Shao.

He is invisibly, forcing Yuan Shao to make a choice between his son and his foundation.

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, his face was gloomy, his eyes were burning with raging flames, his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and in his heart, there was obviously a fierce ideological struggle.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao's fist hit the couch fiercely, and there was only iron-blooded anger on the old man's face, and there was no hesitation.

"For the father, now officially give you an order, pass the order to the army, if the pottery thief uses Yuan Tan as a shield again, he will be treated as dead, and he will release the arrow, and those who dare to abandon the city without fighting will be beheaded all over the house!" Yuan Shao's words were cold, and he resolutely gave the order.

Yuan Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a subtle sneer flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he was embarrassed: "But the sword and arrow have no eyes, if the soldiers do this, I am afraid that the eldest brother will be more fierce and less attacked." ”

"This rebel, who was captured three times, lost the face of my Yuan family, and now he doesn't dare to cut it off on his own, save his name, and continue to help the pottery thief harm my Yuan family, I, Yuan Shao, should not have this son, and you don't have this big brother, for the sake of my Yuan family's great cause, there is no need to care about his life or death." Yuan Shao's face was as gloomy as iron, and between his expression and words, there was only iron and coldness.

Yuan Shang let out a long sigh, and reluctantly accepted the military order, but he looked sad again.

Yuan Shao saw that he cared so much about his brother's affection, and he liked this son more and more, but he stroked his shoulder and said: "Shang'er, you are a loving and righteous child, and it is very proud to have a son like you, but for the sake of the overall situation, you must put away your affection, do you understand?" ”

Yuan Shang pretended to be silent for a moment, until his eyes showed a bit of enlightenment, and then he sighed lightly and said, "Please rest assured, my son knows what to do." ”

"Well, that's good, go to Ancheng to defend against the enemy quickly, the heavy responsibility of fighting against the pottery thief will be all in your hands as a father." Yuan Shao nodded appreciatively, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yuan Shang got up and said goodbye, turned around and left proudly, behind him Yuan Shao watched him leave with admiring and expectant eyes, and muttered to himself: "Shang'er is filial piety, wise and brave, and has the bearing of a hero, it is simply carved out of the same mold with me, and now I understand that only he is my only successor, I knew this, I was still hesitant at the beginning, if it wasn't for the reuse of that useless rebel several times, why would my Yuan family fall into today's crisis, alas......"

With a sigh, Yuan Shang's heroic body had disappeared outside the door, and the moment he stepped out of the door, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth rose slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an imperceptible sneer.
