Chapter Sixty-Eight: Let You Be Dumb and Eat Coptis Chinensis
Dizzy, I don't know how long I fell asleep, Yuan Tan finally woke up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking around, Yuan Tan found that he was already in a carriage, the morning light shone on his face through the curtain of the carriage, a little dazzling, and it was already dawn outside.
Yuan Tan moved slightly, wanting to sit up, but suddenly there was a pain in his lower body.
The pain spurred his mind to wake up and he remembered what had happened yesterday.
"It must be a dream, it must be a nightmare, it can't be real......" Yuan Tan muttered to himself, constantly comforting himself, and his trembling hand slowly touched his crotch.
Empty.
A thunderclap slammed down overhead.
In an instant, Yuan Tan's head was dizzy, and he was almost about to faint to death, all thoughts were discouraged, and he wanted to die.
The pain of grief and shame pierced his heart in all directions like an arrow piercing his heart.
Yuan Tan finally realized that he had become a eunuch.
The noble birth of the fourth and third dukes, the son of Yuan Shao, who is famous all over the world, was castrated by those despicable dog thieves and became a waste person who is neither male nor female!
For a moment, he really wanted to crash into the car and die, what face was still alive in this world.
But he couldn't make up his mind after all, after all, it's better to die than to live, and not anyone can do such a thing as suicide.
He had no choice but to endure the pain under his crotch, sinking into the entanglement of suicide or survival, and went all the way to Gaomi.
It was past noon, Gaomi City was approaching, and the Yuan army company camp could already be seen in front.
The closer he got to his family's camp, the stronger the shame in Yuan Tan's heart became.
With his appearance, how can he face Yuan Shao, face the civil and military forces of the Yuan family, and face the people of the world.
Yuan Shao will never hand over the foundation of the Yuan family to such a eunuch as him, he will completely lose the inheritance of the heir, and from then on he will become a laughing stock in the eyes of his brothers, seeing the position of the heir of the Yuan family fall into the hands of Yuan Shang.
"I can't die, I can't let people know that I was castrated, the foundation of the Yuan family is mine, I must not let it be given to Yuan Shang, I want to live, I will personally break the body of the potter's dog thief into ten thousand pieces, so that he can't survive, he can't die......
Yuan Tan gritted his teeth, scolded the potter countless times in his heart, and finally dispelled the remaining suicidal thoughts and decided to survive.
Unconsciously, the carriage entered the Yuan camp, and the excited Yuan generals and soldiers rushed to greet them.
Yuan Tan had no choice but to grit his teeth, endure the pain under his crotch, pretend to smile and get out of the car, and go to the big tent to see Yuan Shao.
……
In the big tent, Yuan Shao was sitting on it, looking at the military book in his hand silently.
In front of the tent, all the civil and military people were anxiously waiting for Yuan Tan's return, worried that the Tao Chamber of Commerce would break its promise and get fat, and they would not let go if they got the war horse.
Only Yuan Shao was as immobile as a mountain, without the slightest worry.
"Lord, the eldest prince is back, the eldest prince is back safely." Outside the big tent, the shouts of surprise of the pro-soldiers sounded.
In the big tent, all the civil and military officers fell into jubilation in an instant, and they were all overjoyed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
In an instant, Yuan Shao's old face passed with a trace of excitement that was not easy to detect, and the hand holding the book also shook slightly.
The excitement was only fleeting, and in an instant, Yuan Shao returned to normal, still sitting and watching the military book, without a trace of emotion.
A moment later, Yuan Tan limped into the tent.
"Son, meet my father." Yuan Tan lowered his head, looking ashamed, and didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao ignored him, as if he was not aware of his existence, and still looked at the book of soldiers with an expressionless face, until he finished reading the last volume, he slowly put down the bamboo slip and glanced at him coldly.
"I ordered you to sit in Qingzhou, you didn't have to give my order, invaded Xuzhou without authorization, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and was captured by a poor man, and lost my face to the Yuan family, are you still embarrassed to come back!" Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Tan angrily and reprimanded him mercilessly in front of everyone.
"The son is guilty, it insults the name of the Yuan family, and the son is ......" Yuan Tan was ashamed and aggrieved, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Yuan Shao saw him like this, he was angry, and shouted: "Why, you did something wrong, so much so that I let go of the civil strife in Youzhou and didn't attack Gongsun Zhan, but I ran to Qingzhou to save you, and I was humiliated by those stinky boys, is it still wrong for me to teach you a few words?" ”
Yuan Tan was startled, quickly put away his tears, and fell to his knees on the ground, constantly saying "Son confesses".
"Well, now that you know the lesson, arise." Yuan Shao is still a loving father in the end, just a few words of blame, how can he really cure Yuan Tan's crimes.
Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, staggered to his feet, and didn't dare to look at Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Tan's legs and feet were not good, so he asked him what was going on with his legs.
Yuan Tan didn't dare to say that he was smashed by a potter, but only lied that he fell off his horse and broke his leg while fighting.
"Did that potter do anything to you after you were captured?" Yuan Shao's tone had become gentle, and he was gradually filled with fatherly care.
Yuan Tan's figure shook suddenly, his head lowered, and he subconsciously glanced at the crotch.
The moment he was castrated, the terrifying picture could not be restrained in his mind, making him shiver all over.
"Why, that kid from the potter, he dares to snub you?" Yuan Shao's face immediately darkened.
Yuan Tan gritted his teeth, forcibly stabilized his mind, raised his head, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "That kid is afraid of his father's might, how dare he move, although his son was captured, he was polite to his son, and he didn't dare to be slack." ”
"He didn't dare." Yuan Shao stroked his long beard and snorted coldly, and a little pride flashed across his old face.
Yuan Shao's performance is obviously that his anger has subsided, and he is no longer so angry with him.
Seeing this, Yuan Tan's face immediately lit a hideous fire of revenge, and he arched his hand and said: "Since the son has returned safely, there is no need for the father to have any scruples, the son asks the father to send troops south immediately, and the son is willing to fight the kid again for the forward, and this time the boy will be cut off by the head." ”
"The old man has made a deal with that kid, do you want to make your father treacherous?" Yuan Shao glared at him and asked rhetorically.
"Of course not." Yuan Tan shook his head busily, but said: "Only for gentlemen should we talk about faithfulness, that kid surnamed Tao is treacherous, despicable and shameless, and there is no need to talk about faithfulness with this kind of villain." ”
Many generals of the Yuan family, such as Gao Lan on the left and right, all attached themselves to Yuan Tan and passionately asked Yuan Shao for battle.
Yuan Shao raised his hand and suppressed the anger of the generals, Fang said loudly: "The pottery merchant despises my Yuan family, and the old man will clean him up sooner or later, but you remember, Gongsun Zan is our biggest enemy, how could the old man miss the great opportunity to destroy Gongsun and unify Hebei because of a moment of anger." ”
Yuan Shao's attitude was already very clear, and the passionate generals immediately closed their mouths in amusement.
"But my father ...... handsome"
Yuan Tan couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to persuade again, but Yuan Shao's face sank, and he shouted without question: "Enough!" How many times has the old man taught you that those who achieve great things should focus on the overall situation in everything, why don't you have a long memory. You will immediately follow the old man's class, go back to Yecheng to recuperate from your injuries, and reflect well, and your second brother will take over the overall situation in Qingzhou, so it is decided. ”
"The father's lesson is that the son obeys." Yuan Tan was choked with a snort, so he could only retreat silently, not daring to say more.
Yuan Shao asked everyone to step back and prepare for the class teacher's return to Jizhou.
Yuan Tan limped out of the big tent, the pain under his crotch was uncomfortable, grinned, and gasped for breath.
"The only purpose for my Yuan Tan to live is to kill you, potter, you wait for me, one day, I will make your life worse than death!"
……
Gumu, the Tao army camp.
Two days later, news came from the scouts that Yuan Shao withdrew his troops as promised.
Soon, Xizuo sent back detailed information, Yuan Shaoliu his second son Yuan Xi led an army of 10,000, instead of Yuan Tan to sit in Qingzhou, and led the army back to Jizhou in a hurry.
Everything was as expected by the pottery merchants, in order to destroy Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao could only swallow this evil breath and retreat.
As for Yuan Xi who stayed, his strength was even weaker than Yuan Tan, and with his eldest brother doing the rut, it was expected that he would not dare to act rashly.
The threat from the north was finally lifted, although temporary, but now the potter could finally withdraw from the south and prepare to turn against Liu Bei.
So a few days after Yuan Shao's army withdrew, the pottery merchant left Xu Sheng to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Gumu and guard the north, and began to lead more than 7,000 cavalry and horses to the south.
In the evening of that day, the pottery merchant led the army back to Kaiyang City, the place of governance, and prepared to let the soldiers rest for a while, and then start a war with Liu Bei.
When he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the potter's butt had not yet sat down, and the soldiers went inside to report, saying that there was a man surnamed Zhang outside the mansion, claiming to be from the west, and he wanted to see the potter for something important.
