Guo Tu returned to his home and sent someone to call Xin Ping and Xin Bi over, and he wanted to make arrangements for what might happen next.

And Xin Ping and Xin Bi have not yet arrived, but Yuan Shang has arrived first.

Guo Tu smiled secretly in his heart: This Yuan Shangke is really anxious, Yuan Shao is not dead yet, he has begun to prepare, it seems that he is not a simple character.

Yuan Shang came to Guo Tu's house alone, and walked in without announcing and swaggered in, and sat in front of Guo Tu.

Guo Tu's butler followed behind and kept glancing, and Guo Tu waved him down.

"The third prince came to the door in person, I don't know what you are doing?" Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shang was so rude, and he didn't have a good face.

Yuan Shang didn't care, a bright smile appeared on his face, and said, "Mr. Gongze should know what this son means by coming here to find you, right?" ”

Guo Tu felt that Yuan Shang's smile was very annoying, and frowned and said, "Childe said that he was laughing." It's not a roundworm in Childe's stomach, where do you know what Childe thinks. Childe still has something to say. ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows, feeling unhappy with Guo Tu's attitude, but he came here today with his own purpose, so he said: "Today's matter, I think you are very clear about Mr. Gongze. My father is sick in bed, and my son is ready to temporarily take the position of general, I don't know what Mr. Gongze thinks? ”

Sure enough, Yuan Shang is now planning Yuan Shao's position, which shows that Yuan Shang doesn't really hope that Yuan Shao can be cured.

Guo Tu himself is labeled as Yuan Tan here by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shang must have a purpose when he says this to himself. Guo Tu said tentatively: "Childe, you are looking for the wrong person." This matter should be discussed with the eldest prince. As long as the eldest prince agrees, there will be no opinion in the future. ”

Yuan Shang said mockingly: "Big brother? If he had the ability, he wouldn't have to be called to Qingzhou by his father. ”

"Third son, between your brothers is your family matter, and we can't interfere as subordinates." Guo Tu took himself out and expressed his reluctance to get involved in the matter between them.

"If that's the case, this son can be regarded as an interruption." Yuan Shang already knew what Guo Tu meant, and left the table.

"No more!" Guo Tu said coldly.

Yuan Shang sneered and walked away.

After Yuan Shang left, Xin Ping and Xin Bi arrived late for Guo Tu's house.

"The public rule, the situation of the lord is not optimistic. What else can we do? "Xin Ping has some understanding of Yuan Shao's situation, and the current situation is very unfavorable for them.

"I need to prepare. Just now, the third prince came to the door and said that he wanted to temporarily take the position of general. Guo Tu told the news of Yuan Shang's arrival.

"How can the third prince be like this. The lord is not dead yet, he is impatient! What a disfilial piety! Simbi was a little annoyed.

Guo Tu smiled: "This is human nature. I am in a high position, and I am a person who belongs to the eldest prince, this kind of thing must be unavoidable. I'm afraid there's going to be a whole bunch of troubles to come. ”

"So what else do we do?" Xin Ping asked.

"Yuan Shang's inheritance of the position is definitely not good for us, and the judge will definitely not let us go. It may already be sharpening the knife now, so we have to inform the eldest prince that we can't sit still. Now you can leave for Qingzhou, in case the lord has a bad day, then it will be too late. And stay here in the next place, as an internal response. Guo Tu commanded.

Among the three, Guo Tu was respected, and Xin Ping Xin Bi certainly did what he was told.

Yuan Shang returned home angrily, and the judge was waiting for him.

Seeing Yuan Shang's angry appearance, the judge had a bottom in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lord, did Guo Tu refuse?" ”

The trial has completely taken refuge in Yuan Shang, and they all call Yuan Shang the lord.

"The military advisor guessed well, Guo Tu doesn't know how to lift at all!" Yuan Shang was very unhappy, he felt that Guo Tu seemed to be very disoptimistic about him, which made Yuan Shang, who felt very good about himself, a little embarrassed.

The judge looked like he knew this for a long time, and said with a smile: "Don't care, the lord doesn't care, Guo Tu is a dead eye." I'll just have to keep him under surveillance. If the lord wants to do great things, he needs the support of other people, especially the generals in the army. As long as he controls the military power, Yuan Tan's guy won't be able to make any waves. As long as the lord inherits the throne, Guo Tu is not a fish on the chopping board? In addition, the two brothers of the Xin family should also pay attention, the two of them are from the eldest son's side. ”

Yuan Shang's anger decreased slightly, and he said: "The military advisor is right, this son will go around now." ”

After Yuan Shang left, the judge stood up, leaned his hands on his back and muttered: "Guo Tu, it's just a few days away, let's settle the new accounts and old accounts together!" ”

Yuan Shang began to move around the various forces in Yecheng, and the result was obvious that all the forces supported Yuan Shang as the general for the time being, except for the people on Guo Tu's side. There were not many people who objected, and there was no way to influence Yuan Shang's actions.

The generals in the army also recognized Yuan Shang, and Yan Liangwen was worried that if Yuan Shao died, Yuan Jun would not have an heir, and Liu Yu would take advantage of it, so they also agreed.

But there's a little bit of a hiccup here.

That is the benevolent and righteous Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang left Yecheng with his righteous brother Zhang Fei, and he doesn't know where he went. When Yuan Shang was about to go to visit, he pounced.

All forces are waiting for Yuan Shao's death, and they don't care so much about the departure of Liu Bei.

At the same time, Yuan Shang strengthened the monitoring of Guo Tu and others, so that the two brothers could not leave Yecheng.

Xin Ping and Xin Bi of Guo Tu's camp adopted a strategy of hypocrisy and wronging Yuan Shang, ostensibly supporting Yuan Shang, and secretly sending someone to report to Yuan Tan.

So Yuan Shang's exercise of rights on behalf of his father was decided. Yuan Shang succeeded in realizing his plan.

When Guo Tu heard it, he smiled. If Yuan Shang does this, it will definitely cause Yuan Tan's fierce resistance, and the two brothers will definitely turn their faces when the time comes.

Guo Tu can only stay at home now, and Yuan Shang has already monitored all his residences. However, he still had a way to send the information to Liu Yu and Yuan Tan. In terms of strategy, the trial match and Yuan Shang are still a little bit more interjected than him.

A few days later, Yuan Shao's mansion.

Yuan Shao hadn't eaten a grain of rice for a long time, his body was very thin, and he was lying upright on the bed. Everyone knew that Yuan Shao was terminally ill and would die at any time.

Yuan Shao kept repeating the previous memories in his mind these days, there were joys and sorrows, and there were all kinds of memories.

Yuan Shao knew that when people were going to die, they would constantly recall their previous memories, and he suddenly became afraid.

He doesn't want to die, he still has unfinished business to do, and he wants to enjoy all the good things in this world. But the body's constant loss of vitality made him desperate.

They found a number of highly skilled Lang Zhong to treat Yuan Shao, but it took a lot of effort. Every time he was treated, Yuan Shao was full of hope, but in the end he lost hope. Lang Zhong said that he could not do anything.

Wen Chou wants to kill these incompetent quacks.

However, Hua Tuo's traces have never been found, and they finally lost patience and stopped treating Yuan Shao, allowing Yuan Shao's condition to deteriorate further.

As Yuan Shao's condition deteriorated, Yuan Shang accelerated the progress of his seizure of power and controlled almost the entire Yecheng in his own hands.

At the same time, Yuan Shang arranged for his mother Liu to accompany Yuan Shao every day, and kept telling in his ears that he hoped that Yuan Shao would establish Yuan Shang as the heir.

Yuan Shao didn't let go of anything for some reason.

Yuan Shao's bedroom was already full of people, because Lang Zhong said that Yuan Shao had reached the point of dying and would not survive today.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at the wall, there were tears in the corners of their eyes all the time, and the two of them were the most painful. Yuan Shao promoted the two of them to the army, and they have been trusted for more than ten years, and the two of them are like fish in water under Yuan Shao, and they have made a reputation. Now that Yuan Shao is about to die, they can't do anything, this feeling of losing a confidant is too uncomfortable.

Yuan Shao suddenly rushed to his body and had a little strength, this is a return to the light, he struggled to sit up.

The trial matched Guo Tu and the others all leaned over.

The judge asked, "My lord, do you have anything to arrange?" ”

"I know... It's going to be a short time, and now it's going to be... Things are arranged..."Yuan Shao said with difficulty.

Yuan Shao had exhausted himself and collapsed, and he could no longer speak.

"Lord, you are about to leave, shouldn't this heir make arrangements?" The judge hurriedly asked.

"Hmm..." Yuan Shao tried to make a sound, but he couldn't speak, and finally nodded in agreement.

The judge said: "Then the third son, Yuan Shang, will inherit the throne!" ”

Yuan Shao was silent for a while, his eyes looking straight at the trial. The judge said softly: "Lord, almost everyone thinks that the third prince is the best candidate!" ”

"My lord, and the eldest prince." Guo Tu suddenly interjected.

The judge stared at Guo Tu viciously, eager to kill Guo Tu now.

The judge said: "The lord, the third prince is quite similar to the lord, and he is really the best candidate. ”

Yuan Shao seems to see that after his death, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will meet each other. But the loss of life force made it impossible for him to make a choice. He was no longer in a position to influence how things unfolded.

Yuan Shao suddenly lost his breath and tried his best to catch his breath. Everyone present gathered around and shouted, "Lord! ”

"Lord, the third prince is the heir, right?!" The judge clenched Yuan Shao's hand and said anxiously.

Yuan Shao was so painful that he couldn't hear the voice of the trial at all, but he vaguely understood the meaning of the trial, and nodded his head strugglingly.

The judge showed a relieved smile, just a little bit worse.

"Lord!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou couldn't hold back any longer, pushed everyone away, and came to Yuan Shao's side, and the two of them clasped Yuan Shao's hands, just like the moment they first met.

Yuan Shao looked at Yan Liangwen Chou, who had been following him, and found that it was the two of them who were the most sincere to him in the end.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt a burst of relaxation, his whole body was very comfortable, and finally as if time had stopped, he didn't move at all, and finally collapsed in Wen Chou's arms. Yan Liang's hand trembled and touched Yuan Shao's nose, and Yuan Shao no longer had any breath.

"My lord! Why are you going? Yan Liang hugged Yuan Shao and wept bitterly. Wen Chou is also a man's tear left.

"Lord! Please walk slowly. ”

The room erupted in wails.
