At that time, he pointed to Yuan Shao's gang in the crowd, who were talking to each other and looked strange, and told Yuan Shu that they were also planning to win over the people Yuan Shu said, but he had already taken the first step and began to contact these people early as the head of the family, Yuan Feng, as the principal, and negotiated the terms with them, they promised that as long as Yuan Shu himself accepted this secret agreement with them in person, they would support the young concubine Yuan Shu.

And these people mentioned by Yuan Jian are the elders with the highest status of the Yuan family, as long as Yuan Shu has their support, he will be regarded as the heir recognized by the Yuan clan in Runan, so that not to mention that his brother Yuan Shao can no longer do anything to him, even those who support Yuan Shao will have to live in fear.

After listening to Yuan Shu's explanation, Yuan Shu suddenly realized that he was not completely a stupid and dull person, he had long been accustomed to the fight in the family, and he also knew that his brother Yuan Shao would definitely completely tear his face with himself after the death of his father Yuan Feng, and at that time, there would inevitably be a fierce battle.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after his father Yuan Feng died, on top of his father's funeral, this struggle between brothers had already begun.

No, if you follow what Yuan Jian just said, Yuan Jian should have started to act before his father died, and from that time on, this war had already started.

The fear of his elder brother Yuan Shao forced Yuan Shu to listen to Yuan Shu and go to meet the most influential elders in the family, and let them come forward and recognize Yuan Shu's status as the heir of the family.

Sure enough, with Yuan Shao's previous maneuvers, Yuan Shu didn't take much effort to get the support of the family elders, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to release the news, so frightened that Yuan Shao fled to Hebei with his subordinates overnight, and settled there, taking advantage of the prestige of the Yuan family, and gradually broke into the fame.

I have to admit that this Yuan Shao's talent is indeed much stronger than that of his younger brother Yuan Shu, if Yuan Feng handed over Yuan Shao to Yuan Shao instead of Yuan Shu, then the heir supported by the Yuan clan in Runan will definitely be Yuan Shao, not his Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu left the family, with his little knowledge and courage, I am afraid that he would already die before he even went out of Huainan, let alone break out of the world far from his hometown.

It's also that Yuan Fengxin is not enough

ruthless, if he made up his mind to hand over the entire family to his eldest son Yuan Shao, then the achievements of their Yuan family would be limitless.

It's a pity that his beloved son is earnest, which dragged Yuan Shao down and gave others the opportunity to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Yuan Shu recalled all kinds of help Yuan Jian had given him, and couldn't bear to humiliate this old minister for a while, so he stopped Ji Ling.

Ji Ling looked at the lord Yuan Shu with a puzzled expression, how could he easily miss such a good opportunity when he saw it? Even if he was seventy or eighty years old, crying and crying and kneeling on the ground and begging him for mercy, he would not have a trace of pity and guilt, but the more he did so, the happier he became, and he would doubly humiliate these weak people.

This is Yuan Shu's character, and it is also what Yuan Shu is worried about, so he will take the trouble to persuade Yuan Shu to get rid of this problem and treat talented celebrities with a humble attitude, instead of eating, drinking and having fun with those friends who drink and meat all day long.

But Yuan Shu's tirelessness made Yuan Shu very bored, and he even felt sick to his stomach when he saw Yuan Shu's appearance, so he always thought of ways to humiliate and ridicule him, in order to let him retreat from the difficulty, and stop always preaching to him endlessly, if this is not the case, with Yuan Shu's initial credits, it is impossible to be just a staff member, if he is willing to say something good, Yuan Shu will definitely be the most relied on by Yuan Shu's side.

But Yuan Shu was the only one who dared to say that he was wrong in front of Yuan Shu, which annoyed Yuan Shu and made him what he is today.

So when Ji Ling wanted to humiliate this old minister again, Yuan Shu suddenly found out out of conscience and stopped Ji Ling, because in his heart, he was still a little grateful to Yuan Lian.

After Yuan Shu left, Yuan Shu suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet, and now there were no more dazzling people to bother him.

At this moment, another urgent report came, a soldier hurriedly ran to Yuan Shu, bowed down and clenched his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, we intercepted a secret letter in the territory, it seems to be from Jingzhou!" ”

Hearing that this letter came from Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's heart suddenly lifted.

To say that there is an enemy who disgusts him more than Cao Cao Yuan Shu,

It must be Jingzhou Liu Biao.

Liu Biao, the prince who occupies Jingzhou, although he is also an old man like Tao Qian, is an old man, but unlike Tao Qian's cowardice and incompetence, Liu Biao has a set of effective methods for governing his territory, so that in this era of continuous war, Jingzhou can still maintain a stable and prosperous scene.

At the same time, the prosperity and strength of Jingzhou also made Liu Biao have a fairly strong military force, which posed a certain threat to Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Therefore, compared with Tao Qian and Cao Cao in the north, Yuan Shu deployed more troops in the southwest to guard against Liu Biao.

And at this time, when he heard that he had intercepted the secret letter from Jingzhou, he couldn't help but get nervous.

Now in the troubled times, the princes around the country have supported their own troops, not only the princes based on the Central Plains are tense, want to become the king of the Central Plains, even the remote borders, those who were originally for the Han Dynasty to guard the frontier, have also formed their own forces, in a vain attempt to point at the Central Plains.

Therefore, not to mention Liu Biao in Jingzhou, it is not a remote place, his position is far from being comparable to Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng's generation, and even Yuan Shao in Hebei, across the Yellow River and the Central Plains, and Cao Cao is guarding the opposite bank of the Yellow River, if you want to cross the Yellow River and enter the Central Plains, you have to ask this Cao Mengde if he agrees, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou is quite close to the water and the moon first.

What's more, Jingzhou was originally a rich place, rich in fish and food, and Liu Biao has worked hard for many years, Jingzhou's financial and military strength is not inferior to the major princes of the Central Plains, and now the war in Xuzhou, not only the princes from all over the Central Plains are eyeing each other, even Liu Biao, who is in Jingzhou, seems to have started to enter the Central Plains, this secret letter is the best proof.

Yuan Shu impatiently opened the secret letter and read the contents of the letter.

As he finished reading the letter, his expression, which had just been relaxed, became solemn again.

Seeing Yuan Shu like this, Yang Hong on the side couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord, what is written on this letter?" ”
