Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 259
He was not sad for himself, but because he was sad because he failed to fulfill the old master's last wish, and he felt guilty before he shed tears, but instead of sympathy, Yuan Shu followed a group of uninformed generals to make fun of this hard-working old minister, which made Yuan Shu's heart completely broken.
Speaking of this Yuan Lian, he was born in the "Chen Jun Yuan Clan", which is a famous family that is not inferior to the "Runan Yuan Clan".
It is said that the Yuan family in the world is out of Taikang. During the Western Han Dynasty, people surnamed Yuan began to appear in the officialdom and had a prominent status and became a major local family in Yangxia.
To say that the origin of the Yuan clan of this Chen County is that in the past, the Qin Dynasty set the original Chen State as Chen County, and Yangxia is a county under the jurisdiction of Chen County, so the Yuan clan took Chen County as the county and was for the Yuan clan of Chen County.
The Yuan family of Chenjun is illustrious, but its representatives all advocate purity, self-denial, do not collect private wealth, have no big ambitions, and do not fight too much with various political forces, and there is no conflict with other big families, so that from Yuan Sheng, family members can continue to hold important positions in major dynasties and be active in the political arena.
And this Yuan Sheng, according to legend, was a strategist, and he worked for Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang escaped from Xingyang, and after entering Guanzhong to reorganize the army, he wanted to attack Xiang Yu in the east again.
At this time, Yuan Sheng suggested that the Han army change the direction of the attack, send troops from Wuguan, and attract the main force of the Chu army to the south, when the Han army held on without a fight and dragged the Chu army; At the same time, Han Xin was sent to appease Zhao and unite Yan and Qi to make Chu have some scruples in the north. In this way, the Chu army has to deal with many sides, and the forces will inevitably be dispersed, and the Han army can flexibly and maneuver to attack the Chu army.
Liu Bang adopted Yuan Sheng's suggestion.
Yuan Sheng's strategy made a fundamental change in the strategy of the Han army against the Chu army, and played an important role in the Han army's final victory over the Chu army.
After Yuan Sheng established power in Liu Bang, he retired successfully. He returned to his ancestral hometown of Yangxia, revitalized his family, and the Yuan family of Chenjun gradually prospered.
His great-grandson Yuan Gan was named the Marquis of Guannei for his military exploits during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he was hereditary for the third generation, and was knighted because of Wang Mang's usurpation of power.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he moved from Chen County
The Yuan clan in Ruyang County, Runan County, developed into a major local family. This Runan Yuan clan is named in the annals of history as "the fourth and three dukes". This is exactly the family where Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers are located.
This Runan Yuan family is a family that specializes in one classic, and it has been passed down from generation to generation that Meng's "Yi" learning, so "protégés and old officials are all over the world", which also makes Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu two brothers, the south and the north of the world, can get many talents to respond.
In this way, Yuan Jian and Yuan Shu still have a little bit of a relationship.
However, this relationship did not make Yuan Shu have a sense of intimacy with Yuan Shu, on the contrary, he often used this as a topic to compare the Chen Jun Yuan clan with the Runan Yuan clan, slandering the Chen Jun Yuan clan of the Yuan clan in front of the ministers, and at the same time boasting about his own Runan Yuan clan, saying that the Runan Yuan clan was the last, regardless of fame and influence, it was completely above the Chen Jun Yuan clan.
Yuan Shu's subordinates were naturally on his side, and whenever they heard Yuan Shu talk about this topic, they all followed Yuan Shu to boast about the Runan Yuan clan and slander the Chen Jun Yuan clan.
In fact, this Runan Yuan clan was originally from the Chen Jun Yuan clan, and he slandered the Chen Jun Yuan clan so much, which is quite a bit of a source of origin.
Whenever this happens, Yuan Jian chooses to remain silent, not because he is cowardly, but because he is unwilling to fight with his lord for this kind of boring thing, as well as the full house of civil and military affairs, not to mention that he is a person with weak strength, and his two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, even if his mouth is like a river, he overwhelms everyone with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and wins this tongue battle, but in the end, it is from top to bottom, and everyone is offended.
Especially Yuan Shu, who has a small amount of energy and an excellent face, if Yuan Shu compares their family in front of everyone, will he still let himself go?
So even if Yuan Chuan was angry in his heart, he could only swallow his anger.
But now, Yuan Shu and his generals have humiliated his personality again and again, which made Yuan Shu sad and angry, and he couldn't bear it anymore and cried angrily.
I saw Yuan Lian's eyes red, bowing deeply to Yuan Shu, and said with a choked voice: "Lord, it seems that Yuan Chuan is already old, and the lord no longer needs the assistance of the old ministers, please take care of the lord in the future, and don't live up to the high expectations of the old master." ”
Yuan Jian said, bowed deeply again, and then turned around, with an old and lonely back, gradually disappearing in people's sight.
"This Yuan Lian is too ignorant, without the permission of the lord, he dares to leave without permission, watch me arrest him back and hand him over to the lord!"
After seeing Yuan Jian leave, Ji Ling still didn't give up, and he wanted to arrest this poor old man and humiliate him again.
This is the cultivation of the generals that Yuan Shu relies on, bullying the weak, without mercy, and there are such people around Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu is so anxious, and has been persuading Yuan Shu, wanting him to understand that as a qualified monarch, knowing people and making good use of them is an indispensable talent, and what Yuan Shu likes is all those who are ruthless and brave, who are sloppy and patting horses, and who do not learn and have no skills, these people can drink and have fun together, but it is a fool's dream to rely on them to play a piece of the world in troubled times.
"Forget it, let him go!"
Yuan Shu uncharacteristically stopped Ji Ling, at this moment, Yuan Shu looked at this old minister who had assisted the Yuan family for two generations, the lonely and sad back, even if he was a jerk, he couldn't help but feel something at this time, recalling that when Yuan Shu was ordered by Yuan Shu to be in danger, his brother Yuan Shao, and those clansmen who supported Yuan Shao, soon after Yuan Feng's death, began to plan to eliminate Yuan Shu, a huge Yuan family, but there is no room for two brothers, only the one who can inherit the family business is the one who wins, and the one who loses will be controlled. Whether you are dead or alive depends on the mood of others.
This is the troubled times, even their own brothers, in order to compete for the family business, have to kill each other, fight to the death.
Yuan Shu was helped by Yuan Jian at this time of crisis, and he still remembers that not long after his father Yuan Feng died, Yuan Shu found him, and asked Yuan Shu, who was crying because of his father's death, to stop crying and go with him to meet some people.
Yuan Shu didn't understand what was so important at that time, and he even had to put down such a big thing as a funeral for his father?
For this, he also scolded Yuan Lian, thinking that he was disrespectful to his recently deceased father Yuan Feng.
But Yuan Shu didn't get angry with him because of this, but patiently explained to Yuan Shu why he was in such a hurry to see these people.
