Chapter 868: Ten Million Dollars for Grave Digging in the Hair Hill
When Yuan Shao was captured, there was very little news about Yuan Shao later, and I don't know if it was true or not.
Until the news came that Yuan Shao died of illness in Youzhou.
It's just that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi didn't believe that Yuan Shao died of illness, but thought that he was killed by Zhao Hui.
Even Cao Cao had such thoughts in his heart.
Okay, how could Yuan Shao suddenly die of illness, and he died of illness under the treatment of the divine doctor Hua Tuo.
Cao Cao speculated that Yuan Shao may have died of illness shortly after he was captured.
Or Yuan Shao may have been killed in that battle, but Zhao Hui concealed it and pretended that Yuan Shao was captured.
At that time, a living Yuan Shao was also more beneficial to Zhao Hui, who could stabilize Jizhou, and Zhao Hui also took 200,000 grains and grass and 20,000 troops from Jizhou, and a general took a move.
Therefore, many people suspect in their hearts that Yuan Shao did not die of illness, but because Zhao Hui wanted to attack Jizhou again, so he killed Yuan Shao first at that time, and let Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's brothers fight. Disintegrate the power of Jizhou.
After all, after Yuan Shao was captured, because he had been unconscious, Zhao Hui forbade anyone to contact Yuan Shao, and only a few people such as Zhao Huitian Fenghuatuo had seen Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Tan, although he called Yuan Tan a nephew, but after all, he was the son of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had always been on guard, otherwise Yuan Tan would not always be an idle position in Xudu, and he had no rights in his hands.
The thousands of remnants he brought at the beginning had already been collected by Cao Cao.
Today's Yuan Tan does not have a single soldier in his hands, and in Xu Du's mansion, there are only a few servants and maids.
The generals who followed at the beginning, there were few powerful ones, and they had already voted for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Tan, to be honest, he was reluctant to use Yuan Tan in his heart.
First of all, Yuan Tan is the son of Yuan Shao, and secondly, Yuan Tan's ability is not outstanding.
Like Yuan Tan, there are many under Cao Cao.
He does not lack Yuan Tan, and the reason why he took in Yuan Tan is only because he is the son of Yuan Shao.
If Cao Cao refused, or killed him, it would be bad for Cao Cao's reputation.
It's better to keep him, it's just a little food anyway.
"Please do it." Yuan Tan's forehead slammed heavily on the ground.
lost Jizhou, I thought that taking refuge in Cao Cao would be a way out, but I didn't expect that he was now just a fictitious position, and he had nothing in his hands.
How could Yuan Tan be willing.
If he was willing to give up his rights, he would not have fought with Yuan Xi.
What is the meaning of vain duty, wasting your life.
He is the son of Yuan Shao, how can he be so depraved.
Yuan Tan regretted in his heart, if he was really trapped in Xu Du all his life, he might as well die in battle that day.
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Tan, who was kneeling on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, as if he didn't agree, he wouldn't get up, sighed, and said: "The virtuous nephew has this heart, and he can smile under Jiuquan at the beginning." Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you, but the battlefield is dangerous, and the virtuous nephew should be more careful, if you have three long and two short, how can I still have the face to see the original under Jiuquan in the future. ”
"Prime Minister rest assured, Yuan Tan is bound to be ashamed and avenge his father." Yuan Tan's body knelt on the ground, trembling faintly.
He could finally leave.
Although it is impossible for him to become the boss, fighting against Zhao Hui, Cao Cao must be in charge himself.
But as long as he can go out with him, Yuan Tan is enough, and it depends on the situation at that time.
If Zhao Hui is defeated, then he will fight back to Hebei.
If Zhao Hui wins, then he will continue to the south with his people. Go to Jingzhou, or Wuyizhou.
Liu Biao and Liu Zhang seem to be better to deal with than Zhao Hui, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce.
"You go down first." Cao Cao waved his hand.
Yuan Tan hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, Yuan Tan retired." ”
After Yuan Tan left, Cao Cao called Xun You and said, "How did Yuan Tan learn that Zhao Hui was going to send troops?" ”
Yuan Tan was in Xudu, but he just hung up an idle position, and he didn't have any rights in his hands, and he couldn't even enter the court.
The news that Zhao Hui was going to send troops was now known only to those ministers in the court.
Cao Cao needed to know who told Yuan Tan and who Yuan Tan had contact with.
Although Cao Cao didn't take Yuan Tan's ability to heart, he was the son of Yuan Shao after all, and there were still many people who supported him.
If he really didn't care about Yuan Tan at all, Cao Cao was still a little uneasy in his heart. Xu Du is now full of Cao Cao's eyeliner, and after Xun Yu got the order, he found those eyeliners and asked, and he knew who told Yuan Tan.
Xun You returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to Cao Cao: "It's Yan Song." ”
"It turned out to be him." Cao Cao was not very surprised.
Yan Song also received the favor of the Yuan family back then.
He will give Yuan Tan the news, but he also has a little affection.
Cao Cao did not deal with Yan Song because of this.
Yan Song only told Yuan Tan this information. But there was not much movement.
is still within Cao Cao's tolerance range.
After all, Yuan Shao died in the hands of Zhao Hui.
Yan Song was willing to take the initiative to inform Yuan Tan that Cao Cao not only did not blame, but his evaluation of Yan Song in his heart rose to another level.
Yuan Tan has been in Xudu for almost two years, but it is just a false position, and many people have distanced themselves from him.
The Yuan family, who was the fourth and third dukes at the beginning, is now here in Yuan Tan, and no one has come to visit for a year.
From Yuan Kui being killed by Dong Zhuo, to Yuan Shao being killed by Zhao Hui, and then to Yuan Shu becoming emperor, Yuan Shu died.
The Yuan family is no longer the original Yuan family.
Today's Yuan family is three or two kittens.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi can't carry the banner of the Yuan family.
Since he knew that Yan Song had told Yuan Tan, Cao Cao put it aside first.
Although he promised Yuan Tan, Cao Cao has not yet decided whether to take Yuan Tan with him or let him lead the army alone.
However, there is a high probability that Cao Cao will still take Yuan Tan with him to watch.
Facing Zhao Hui, Cao Cao didn't want any accidents.
If Yuan Tan died on the battlefield, Cao Cao would not be heartbroken, but Cao Cao had to be on guard, and Yuan Tan suddenly left with a large army.
His strength is already weaker than Zhao Hui, and if he suddenly loses a group of people, it will have a great impact on Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister, there have been a lot of unknown people in the city recently."
Full Favor is also Cao Cao's confidant and loyal to Cao Cao.
In his eyes, Cao Cao's status was higher than that of Liu Xie, the son of heaven.
If Cao Cao wanted to kill the king, Xun Yu and others would dissuade him, and even turn against Cao Cao.
But Man Chong definitely won't, he will only hold the sword tightly and follow Cao Cao's side.
"Keep an eye on those people, if there is anything abnormal, there will be no mercy."
Cao Cao will not check whether they have been wronged or not, as long as they are determined to be Zhao Hui's fine work, they will be killed immediately.
To start a war with Zhao Hui, Cao Cao did not dare to relax any bit.
After the full pet left, a man wearing a mask and a black robe appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He had a token hanging from his waist with a few small characters engraved on it - Fat Qiu Zhonglang General.
"My lord, this is half a year's gain."
Xi Zhicai presented a detailed report of the property he had obtained from digging the grave in the past six months.
Cao Cao flipped through the pages one by one, and remembered that the strips were full of treasures.
There was gold and silver, there was jade, and there were many copper coins.
A total of 10 million dollars.
