This really broke Yuan Lian's heart.

When he was ridiculed again by the lord Yuan Shu and his uninformed generals, the grief and anger that had accumulated in his heart in the past suddenly exploded, and he could no longer live in peace.

Everyone laughed and laughed, and suddenly found that this Yuan Lian had a strange expression, and he was alone with his head down, and his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

Ji Ling walked over curiously, he rudely held up Yuan Lian's head with his big hand, and found that this Yuan Lian was actually crying with red eyes.

"Hahahaha, look, our talented Yuan is crying like a little girl!"

Ji Ling laughed loudly unscrupulously, in his opinion, it was even happier to see this Yuan Lian crying and crying in front of everyone than seeing gold, because in the eyes of everyone, Yuan Lian was a person who did not smile and did not know joy and anger, so this time when they suddenly saw Yuan Lian crying in front of everyone, they were very surprised.

Originally, Yuan Shu saw Yuan Lian, who had always been able to forbear, and finally couldn't help but be humiliated, after crying, he was also a little unbearable, after all, this Yuan Lian was an old minister who had been working for the Yuan family since his father's time, and he had always been loyal, even his father Yuan Feng before he died, he repeatedly asked Yuan Shu to reuse this strategist, but although Yuan Shu agreed, he didn't think so, because he didn't like this wooden and serious scholar very much, he preferred a person with a flamboyant tongue and a sycophant.

He didn't know that his father Yuan Feng did this with good intentions.

His two sons, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, are brothers, but they are half-brothers, the elder brother Yuan Shao, although he is the eldest son, is a concubine, and the younger brother Yuan Shu, although he is the second son, is a concubine.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the two brothers of the Yuan family have not been harmonious since they were children, which is more or less related to their life experience and the identity of the family.

And Yuan Feng was very old at the time, and he already felt powerless about the gradually acute contradictions at home.

With Yuan Feng's vision and knowledge, how could he not have expected that these two brothers would turn against each other after his death? As a father, he knew that his two sons would sooner or later kill each other, and he couldn't do anything about it, like this

Who can understand the sorrow?

So when he was still capable, he secretly made arrangements and handed over the most loyal and reliable strategist by his side to his youngest son Yuan Shu, because he knew that although this youngest son Yuan Shu had a higher status in the family than his brother Yuan Shao, and most of the people in the family were also on the side of this young son, but at the same time, Yuan Feng also knew that this pampered younger son, without his own protection, was definitely not his brother Yuan Shao's opponent.

The eldest son Yuan Shao, whether in terms of bearing or talent, is more than a little better than the younger son Yuan Shu, especially in terms of employing people, this self-righteous and arrogant younger son has no way to compare with his brother.

In order not to let his youngest son Yuan Shu, after his death, defeated by his brother Yuan Shao, Yuan Feng handed over his most trusted subordinate Yuan Shu to Yuan Shu, he knew that this Yuan Shu was not only honest and loyal, but also quite strategic, if Yuan Shu could make good use of this person, coupled with the prestige and strength of the Yuan family, it would be enough for Yuan Shu to dominate one side.

Although in this way, his two sons are bound to fight inseparably, it is better than watching his youngest son Yuan Shu be defeated by his brother Yuan Shao and end up miserable.

Speaking of which, after all, his heart is still more partial to his youngest son Yuan Shu, otherwise, he would not be accustomed to this arrogant and arrogant appearance.

When his father Yuan Feng just died, this person who had lost his asylum felt panicked and worried that his brother Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to get rid of him, but fortunately, he also had an old minister left by his father Yuan Lian, so for the old minister Yuan Lian left by his father Yuan Feng, he behaved respectfully and obediently.

And Yuan Shu did not live up to Yuan Shu's expectations, he used his own strategy and sophisticated means to help Yuan Shu quickly gain the support of most of the Yuan family soon after Yuan Feng's death, forcing his brother Yuan Shao to flee to Hebei to settle down, missing the great opportunity to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Occupying Nanyang first, and then occupying Runan, was the first suggestion Yuan Shu made to Yuan Shu.

With the prestige and influence of the Yuan family at that time, after Yuan Shu raised troops in Huainan, he responded to the call of the local clan

and the chaebols, all vying to support this young son of the Yuan family.

Therefore, Yuan Shu was able to take these two large counties without much effort, and with Nanyang and Runan as strongholds, Yuan Shu had sufficient capital, and money and grain were continuously accumulated.

With Yuan Shu's dedicated assistance and the support of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu really controlled the Huainan area without much effort, and the two big counties in the world, Nanyang and Runan are within his sphere of influence, with sufficient money and food, strong soldiers and horses, and even his brother Yuan Shao, who is in Hebei, does not dare to underestimate this younger brother.

But it's a pity that as Yuan Shu's power continues to grow, his shortcomings are gradually revealed, not only began to lose the fighting spirit and humble attitude at the beginning, but also showed a sense of disgust for the old minister Yuan Lian, who worked hard and made great achievements, but was loyal to his ears, because whenever he indulged in and had fun, and did not want to forge ahead, Yuan Lian would take the trouble to persuade him in his ear.

At the beginning, Yuan Shunian was an old minister left by his father, and helped him a lot, and dealt with him, pretending to listen, but after a long time, he couldn't stand Yuan Shu's endless advice, besides, as his power continued to grow, there was an endless stream of people who took refuge in Yuan Shu, and after his own power became stronger, he was no longer afraid of his brother Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shu gradually felt that this Yuan Shu was getting more and more annoying, and he couldn't wait for him to disappear completely from his eyes and be happy.

How Yuan Shu didn't know Yuan Shu's thoughts, the reason why he diligently persuaded Yuan Shu so tirelessly was because he never forgot the old master's entrustment in his heart, and wanted Yuan Shu to become a person who could make a difference.

But this Yuan Shu, lack of frustration tempering, it is difficult to understand these experiences, only with Yuan Shu's mouth to persuade each other, not only can not work, but also by Yuan Shu's jealousy, ridiculed, after a long time, Yuan Shu also felt that he may not be able to correct this squishy young master, to complete the old master's last wish, so under the grief and anger, Yuan Jian finally couldn't help it, leaving tears of grief.
