"Uh..."

Yuan Xi was stunned on the spot, surprised.

He didn't expect Yuan Shao to suddenly mention this matter and give him the throne of the prince. This is something that even Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang dream of and fight for.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to make Yuan Shao make up his mind.

Unexpectedly...

Yuan Xi's heart was ecstatic, his face showed a resolute look, and he knelt down and said: "Father, rest assured, even if the child is broken, he will fulfill his father's wish." Eliminate Cao Cao and dominate the world! ”

"Hurry up." Yuan Shao personally helped Yuan Xi up: "I believe you can do it." And you don't have to break your bones. In the battle of Guandu, the talent you showed has surpassed that of your father, and it has also made all the civil and military forces in Hebei unreachable. ”

"Father's praise..."

Yuan Xi pretended to smirk and said, "It's still my father's wisdom." The child only relies on his father's prestige to make some achievements. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Shao asked someone to bring a coffee table, set up a seat next to it, and ordered the singers in the garden to retreat.

"Xi'er, come and sit. The Father has something to account for you. Yuan Shao waved his hand.

"Thank you, father."

After Yuan Xi took a seat.

Yuan Shao said: "In the battle of Guandu, we lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and hundreds of thousands of grains, which greatly reduced Hebei's military, people, and financial resources. In a short period of time, it should be impossible to enter the Central Plains, what are your plans? ”

"It should be my father's plan. The child can only give his father some advice. Yuan Xi always remained vigilant. Before Yuan Shao died, he could never say anything arrogant.

"Father, do you remember the lesson that the child gave you last year?"

"Yes."

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "You persuaded your father not to start a war with Cao Cao, saying that the time has not come." I regret that I didn't take your advice in the first place. If... Alas, it's a pity that my hundreds of thousands of fine armor were destroyed. ”

Yuan Xi said: "What the child wants to say has already been said in that song. Father occupies the four prefectures of Hebei, And, Qing and You, thousands of miles of fertile soil, with hundreds of thousands of armor, only need to raise soldiers and people for a few years, accumulate money, food, soldiers and horses, and wait for the situation in the Central Plains to change, you can unite all the princes, hold high the banner of King Qin, first destroy Cao Cao, and then determine the Central Plains, and then conquer the world. ”

"Although after the battle of Guandu. Our strength has declined, but the land and the people are still there, and with the land and the people, we can grow food and slowly regain our strength. I believe that the final victory will still be my father's. ”

"Hmm...."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, smiled and said, "Put Hebei into your hands, you can really rest assured as a father." From now on, you will govern on your father's behalf, and take care of the affairs of the states and counties. For the sake of the father, he should rest well and think about his own mistakes. ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Xi was shocked again.

Is Yuan Shao going to delegate power all the time?

As an aspiring traverser, he is eager to get money, food, soldiers, and territory. If you can rule the states of Hebei and prepare early, you will be able to dominate the world in a few years!

But....

Yuan Xi was not only happy, but also extremely worried.

Yuan Shao is not dead yet, he is still the lord of Hebei!

Everything is variable....

If Yuan Shao is in power for a long time, he will definitely make enemies in the world.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would keep an eye on him all the time. Their biological mother, Liu, will also play tricks in secret. Cao Cao was even more reluctant for him to inherit Yuan Shao's position. All people have to do everything possible to stop it.

In this case, isn't it stupid to go against the wind?

Moreover, acting on behalf of Yuan Shao, if you don't pay attention to it, you will commit Yuan Shao's taboo, be calculated by the strategists, be belittled, fall out of favor, and even be convicted. This is a common occurrence in history.

In order to truly dominate Hebei in the future.

Yuan Xi felt that he had to refuse!

Return to his own territory, train his own soldiers and horses, accumulate money, food and weapons, and make a comeback after Yuan Shao's funeral. At that point, no one can stop it. Yuan Shao can't do it either!

It's your own, and no one can take it away.

If it's not your own, you have to conquer it with strength!

Yuan Xi nodded secretly, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your father's trust." But...... The child wants to go back to Youzhou and experience it again... ”

"You want to go back to Youzhou?" Yuan Shao was slightly surprised.

"Yes, father. Is there anything wrong? ”

Yuan Shao never imagined that Yuan Xi would refuse to govern on his behalf.

Think about Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competing in secret in order to compete for the throne of the prince, and they didn't even care about brotherhood. bribed ministers, sent people to assassinate, and used all means.

And Yuan Xi didn't seem to care at all.

This stark contrast made Yuan Shao really puzzled: "Xi'er, don't you want to rule Hebei?" ”

Of course the boy does. But you can't blindly inherit your father's position. Yuan Xi said slowly: "Valued by the father, let the child govern Youzhou." There are a lot of things in the local area, and they all need to be handled by children. Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Goguryeo all widened their eyes and wanted to invade our land. Will the child allow them to succeed? They must be repulsed.... ”

Yuan Xi didn't know what he was talking about, anyway, he was looking for various reasons.

"Besides...... It's not just one person who can govern four major states like his father. It takes good decision-making, great perseverance and a lot of experience. If the child can't even govern Youzhou, how can he inherit his father's throne? Therefore, before that, you have to go through some experience to prove your strength. Not only for the future of Hebei, but also for the convincing of officials at all levels. After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he hugged his fists and said, "I hope my father can allow it." ”

"Okay, my son is ambitious, and I am ready for my father..."

Yuan Shao was stupid.

He let Yuan Xi govern because he wanted to train Yuan Xi and wait for a hundred years to succeed Yuan Xi.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi's concentration was beyond his imagination. He even refused his arrangement and wanted to go to the local government. This requires not only great determination and perseverance, but also the temptation to resist supreme power.

Yuan Shao asked himself, even he couldn't do it.

"Thank you for your understanding." Yuan Xi's heart is also very complicated.

He wanted to rule Hebei more than anyone else, but ruling on behalf of Yuan Shao was not really ruling Hebei. It's just an ethereal name. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will not listen to him, and the civil and military people in Jizhou are also scattered. If you stay in Jizhou, which is drunk and gold-obsessed, and ignore the development of Youzhou, after Yuan Shao's funeral, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will call, and they will have to rely on the barrel of a gun to speak.

Yuan Xi made up his mind and will never change it!

After talking to Yuan Shao for a while, he got up and left.

Night.

Yuan Shao found Fu Zhu, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Tian Feng, etc., to discuss who to appoint as the son. The trial strongly recommends the third son, Yuan Shang. Tian Feng strongly recommended the eldest prince Yuan Tan. Guo Tu and Fu Zhu supported Yuan Xi.

Yuan Shao, who had already had an idea, was no longer swayed by the strategists.

He made a final decision and decided to make Yuan Xi the son!

He ordered Chen Lin to write a text, which was copied in 100 copies and distributed to the counties of Hebei, Hebei, Qing, and You, and announced to all the people. also asked Guo Tu to go to several major families in Jizhou to inform Yuan Xi of the establishment of the prince.

Yuan Shao did this with a very clear purpose.

It is to completely hand over the position to Yuan Xi. It is necessary not only to let the civil and military personnel in the court know, but also to let the people of the major families and counties also know. In this way, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang want to seize the throne, but no one supports them at all, and they will slowly dispel this idea and assist Yuan Xi wholeheartedly, so that Hebei's foundation will grow and become strong.

But....

Can Yuan Shao's hard work work?
