Yuan Shao's funeral was not fanfare, and the current situation is not suitable for large-scale operation.

"Childe is a little safe." Xu You looked at Yuan Shang's pale face, sighed, and comforted: "For today's plan, we must first stabilize people's hearts." ”

"Please sir teach me!" Yuan Shang bowed and said.

Xu You looked at the surrounding Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji and others, frowned and said: "The biggest problem now is that the lord has not made an edict, according to the etiquette law, the eldest prince also has the right to inherit the lord's foundation, and he is worried about the eldest prince's troubles, so the prince will order Han Meng, Gao Lan, and Zhang He to lead their troops back to the dynasty in the name of the lord, and at the same time order Wei Yuanjin to lead troops to Youzhou to help the second prince quell the rebellion. ”

Han Meng, Zhang He, and Gao Ran are all generals under Yuan Shao's account, and the three of them will be recalled to the court, which can help Yuan Shang stabilize the situation, and in Youzhou, Yuan Xi has never had much ambition, but he can be secretly appeased, but the eldest prince Yuan Tan must be guarded against, after all, according to the etiquette law, Yuan Shao did not make an edict, Yuan Tan succeeded to the throne more reasonable, but when Yuan Shao died of illness, they were all around, and naturally understood that Yuan Shao's meaning was to hope that Yuan Shang would inherit Yuan Shao's foundation.

And in Xu You's opinion, Yuan Shao originally divided Youzhou to Yuan Xi, Qingzhou to Yuan Tan, leaving Yuan Shang alone, the status of this successor had been set at that time, and now it is just a lack of an edict, but they were all by Yuan Shao's side at that time, listening to Yuan Shao let them assist Yuan Shang, with a few of them, it was enough to assist Yuan Shang to succeed to the throne.

"There's still something to do." Tian Feng, who had been silent, said in a deep voice: "If you can let Gongzi get the position of prime minister from Your Majesty, it will be enough for Gongzi to sit firmly in Jizhou." ”

Qingzhou has now been abandoned, Yuan Tan can't support it for too long, Yuan Shang has ordered Chen Lin to persuade Cao Cao to be willing to sacrifice Qingzhou and unite with Cao Cao to restrict Chen Mo.

"In my opinion, it is better to recall the eldest prince to Yecheng in the name of the lord...... Imprison it in Yecheng. Xu You looked at Yuan Shang's face, but in the end he still didn't say anything to kill Yuan Tan, as soon as Yuan Shao died, he suggested that the brothers kill each other and be humane.

Yuan Shang was a little moved when he heard this, looked at Tian Feng and said in frustration: "What do you think?" ”

"Ziyuan's method is not bad, now Jizhou is in need of stability, if you can invite the eldest prince back, it is also a good thing." Tian Feng didn't speak, and Feng Ji groaned.

"In that case, it will be up to the gentleman." Yuan Shang saw that Feng Ji agreed, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu did not speak, but they did not object, and immediately ordered people to take everyone into the palace, and asked Liu He to issue an edict, and Yuan Shang inherited the title of Yuan Shao and the position of prime minister.

When Yuan Shang's letter was delivered to Suiyang, it was three days after Yuan Shao's burial.

"What do you think?" Cao Cao sighed, and after sending Chen Lin away, he looked at the strategists under his account, although Chen Lin said it in the name of Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao knew very well that if Yuan Shao was still there, he would never cede Qingzhou to him.

"Lord, Yuan Shao is afraid that he has passed away at this moment." Xun Yu groaned: "This is a move to survive with a broken arm, and the minister thinks that he can agree." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and smiled: "What is Wen Ruo's opinion?" ”

Xun Yu smiled and said: "Lord, it is estimated that the minister can win Qingzhou this time is the limit, if we enter Jizhou, we will be resisted to the death by the Yuan army, and Chen Mo may not be willing to let our army get involved in Jizhou, if we can get Qingzhou without blood, for our army, it is to seize the opportunity, and then sit and watch Chen Yuan fight." ”

As soon as Yuan Shao died, for Cao Cao, Jizhou was no longer Cao Cao's main opponent even if he had a deep background, whether it was Yuan Shang or Yuan Tan, it was not enough to compete with Cao Cao and Chen Mo, so Xun Yu made a plan, and it was Chen Mo who calculated.

Tai Shi Ci sent troops to Youzhou, they couldn't stretch out their hands, but they could instigate Gongsun Du and even Karasuma to make trouble for Chen Mo, when Chen Mo failed to benefit, the Yuan family lost Qingzhou, Cao Cao won Qingzhou, the strength of the three northern heroes suddenly became Cao Cao's strength, and Chen, Yuan's weak situation, and even if Chen Mo finally won Youzhou, Cao Cao had more time than Chen Mo to govern and stabilize, and he had already taken the lead.

What's more, if Youzhou talks about population and environment, how can it be compared with Qingzhou, even if Chen Mo wins Youzhou, it may not be a good thing, Saiwai Karasuma, Xianbei, and the Yuan family in Jizhou, I am afraid that the garrison alone will have tens of thousands of people, how can Chen Mo have the strength to seek to seize Jizhou again?

"What Wen Ruo sees is transparency!" Cao Cao smiled, Xun Yu coincided with his opinion, he also thought like this, whether things would go so smoothly, then two said, his little brother is not a master who will suffer: "According to Wen Ruo's plan, Chen Lin will say it." ”

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shang's secret alliance, Chen Mo naturally had no way to know, but judging from the recent period of time, Jizhou frequently mobilized troops and horses to Wei County, the Yuan family did not seem to be worried about Cao Cao.

"It's not quite right." Chen Mo took the map, and looked at the Jizhou defense map sent back on the table, although it is certainly not too comprehensive, but at least it can be seventy percent, but judging from the current layout of Yuan Shang, almost all of them are aimed at themselves, and the Dongjun area is not to say that there is no defense, but it is just unchanged, if the river freezes after winter, Cao Jun can also directly cross the river to attack.

"My lord, is it that Yuan Shang and Cao Cao secretly reached an agreement? The battle in Qingzhou was critical, but Yuan Shang did not send a single soldier, causing Yuan Tan to retreat. Xun You frowned.

Yuan Shao is dead, although there is no exact news from the direction of Jizhou, but it can basically be determined, and in the current situation, Jizhou is still ordered by Yuan Shangdai Yuan Shao, which is not normal in itself.

"If Yuan Shang is connected with Cao Cao, then the biggest possibility is that Yuan Shang has secretly promised Qingzhou to Cao Cao." Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, Cao Cao can easily capture Qingzhou, but our army wants to capture Youzhou at a great cost, and even Cao Cao will join forces with Yuan Shang to flank our army, forcing our army to make it difficult to take the land of Youzhou." ”

Li Ru nodded: "Previously, Cao Cao had instigated Gongsun Du to cholera Youzhou, and now he may not instigate Gongsun Du to join Yuan Xi to fight against General Ziyi, as well as the Karasuma Division, and the relationship with the Yuan family has always been close." ”

If these forces are combined, it will be Chen Mo, and it will not be easy to get Youzhou.

"Since Cao Cao chose Yuan Shang, then I will choose Yuan Tan!" Chen Mo knelt on the throne, pondered the current situation, and frowned: "Contact Yuan Tan first and analyze the truth with him." ”

"In this case, I would like to go to the plains." Xun You got up and said with a smile: "Yuan Tan's adviser, Guo Tu is also a famous man in Yingchuan, and he has some friendship with Zaixia, and he is willing to go to the plains to persuade Yuan Tan to join forces with our army." ”

"Good!" Chen Mo nodded, got up and said solemnly: "It may be dangerous to go to the plains here, I asked Dian Wei to lead a team of guards to accompany you, if you can't do anything, Gongda must not be forced." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Yuan Tan is now isolated and helpless, unless he is willing to surrender to Yuan Shang, he can only unite with our army." Xun You said with a smile.

"Dian Wei!" Chen Mo shouted outside the door.

"Lord!" Dian Wei came in and bowed to Chen Mo.

"You lead my escort army, responsible for escorting Gongda to Qingzhou, remember, you must ensure Gongda's safety." Chen Mo said solemnly.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei was still very reliable on a formal occasion, so he saluted, turned around and left to prepare for the people.

"Gongda, this is going to Qingzhou, focusing on their own safety, if this matter can be done, it will naturally be the best, but if it doesn't work, don't be reckless, come back, we will think about countermeasures." Chen Mo looked at Xun Yu and said seriously.

"Thank you, Lord." Although there were some meanings of the scenes, Xun You still felt a little warmth in his heart, saluted Chen Mo, and immediately said goodbye and prepared to get up.

……

Qingzhou, Linzi, and Cao's army stopped the army, which made Yuan Tan breathe a sigh of relief, but the current situation, Beihai and Dongping have lost a lot of cities, and in the entire Qingzhou, the territory he can control is getting less and less, and the general Cen Bi under his command died on the battlefield, and there is no news of the people who went to Jizhou for help, but there is a letter from Yuan Shao that he will meet Jizhou.

"I don't know why my father doesn't care about the safety of Qingzhou?" Yuan Tan and Guo Tu sat together, worried about the situation in front of them, their bags were ready, Yuan Tan looked at Guo Tu and said: "Gong Rule, after I leave, this Qingzhou also asks Gong Zhi to be vigilant, this time I will return to Yecheng, I will persuade my father to send troops to rescue." ”

"Childe, I always feel that there is something wrong with Yecheng this time." Guo Tu frowned and looked at Yuan Tan and said: "Now that the Cao army's army is pressing, but the lord asks the prince to return to Yecheng at this time, this matter doesn't make sense anyway." ”

During the war, the Qingzhou coach was recalled, which was almost equivalent to giving up Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan also frowned when he heard this, he also felt that this matter was a little weird.

"Childe, Mr. Xin Ping is here." A personal guard came in and said to Yuan Tan.

"Nakaji?" Guo Tu was stunned and thoughtful.

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Please!" ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, Xin Ping, who was covered in dust, came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Yuan Tan: "Son, don't go back to Yecheng!" ”

"Why is that?" Yuan Tan wondered.

"The lord has died, and it is the intention of the third prince to recruit the prince back to Yecheng this time, and the purpose is to imprison the prince in Yecheng." Xin Ping said in a deep voice: "If the son goes back this time, I'm afraid he will have to worry about his life!" ”

"Father......" Yuan Tan knelt on his seat in amazement, a little distracted, his father was gone? After a while, he suddenly said angrily: "My father died, why didn't anyone inform me!" ”

"The third prince blocked the news with Xu You, Tian Feng and others." Xin commented hatefully: "I only recently found an opportunity to come to Yu Gongzi to report the news. ”

"Not for the Son of Man!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth and said.

Guo Tu frowned and said: "Gongzi is angry, now Cao Cao's army is pressing, Jizhou, the third prince is obviously unwilling to send troops to help, he must have colluded with Cao Cao, the top priority, Gongzi should think about how to hold Qingzhou!" ”

Yuan Tan took a deep breath and bowed to Guo Tu and Xin Ping, "I don't know if the two of you have a plan to teach me?" ”
