Yuan Xu did not execute Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu, but put them in prison.

The Taiyuan army took over Yecheng, and Gan Ning was responsible for incorporating the surrendered Yuan army.

Sitting in Yuan Shao's former study, Pang Tong stood in front of Yuan Xu: "Let people go to Taiyuan and escort the lady and the generals to Yecheng." ”

"The eldest son and the second son are still outside." Pang Tong asked, "Don't you need to summon them first?" ”

"Absolutely." Yuan Xu said: "Jiang Gan went to the eldest brother, he knew what to say. ”

"What about the second son?"

"Just find someone to come over, and he won't refuse to obey orders." Yuan Xu is very sure about controlling Yuan Xi.

After all, Yuan Xi has been subdued by him.

Commander Pang went to the order, and Yuan Xu walked out of the study.

He saw Deng Zhan waiting outside: "You are not in the barracks, why did you come to me?" ”

"Yecheng is newly broken, and General Gan was worried about the lack of manpower around Gongzi, so he let me come." Deng Zhan replied.

"Since you're here, come with me to the prison." Yuan Xu beckoned him and went to the prison.

After only one night in the cell, Yuan Shang was unkempt and had long lost the image of a young man.

Yuan Xu didn't kill him immediately, but he was completely hopeless about the future.

Brothers compete for favor, not for a day or two.

He and Yuan Tan fought for so many years, but in the end, Yuan Xu won Hebei.

Sitting on the sleeping hay, Yuan Shang reminisced about what had happened.

The jailer came: "Childe, see you're coming." ”

"He's going to kill me, right?" Yuan Shang smiled bitterly: "Put me in prison first, make it look like you can't bear to kill, and then quietly execute me after the next night......"

"To kill you, do you still need to do it quietly?" The jailer didn't respond, and Yuan Xu's voice came.

Yuan Shang was taken aback at first, and then calmed down.

After all, it's death, and it's useless to be afraid.

"Since you're here, let's do it." He responded calmly.

Yuan Xu came to the outside of the cell.

Deng Zhan winked at the jailer.

The jailer opened the door.

Yuan Xu walked in, and Yuan Shang stood up.

"Third brother, sit down and talk." motioned for Yuan Shang to sit down, and Yuan Xu sat on the hay first.

"If you came to kill me, why should you act up?" decided that he would die, Yuan Shang simply stopped begging for mercy.

"I didn't plan to break through Yecheng so quickly." Yuan Xu smiled coldly: "The third brother did the most undesirable thing to find a reason for me to attack the city." ”

"What?" Yuan Shang asked.

"Arrows should not have been fired at the men I sent to shout." Yuan Xu replied: "My people were almost killed, but I didn't say anything, how can I serve the public in the future?" ”

Yuan Shang nodded: "So it's me who damn ......"

"No!" Yuan Xu said: "I didn't plan to kill you. ”

"Don't kill me?" Yuan Shang looked stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally." Yuan Xu pursed his lips: "No matter how you say it, it's a brother, kill you, what do the people of the world think of me?" Killing my brother and killing my brother, I can't afford to bear this charge. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Yuan Shang looked dazed, and faintly felt that not dying might be more uncomfortable than dying.

"Power, you can't have it anymore." Yuan Xu replied: "Be an ordinary person, give you a mansion, I will send guards to protect you, and you are not allowed to interact with officials, scholars, and merchants." ”

"That's all?" Yuan Shang couldn't believe his ears.

In order to compete for power, he can do anything.

Yuan Xu didn't do that.

"Know why I didn't kill you?" Yuan Xu smiled slightly.

Yuan Shang shook his head.

"Because there's no chance of competition between the two of us." Yuan Xu replied: "Killing you is like crushing an ant." Crushing the ants, will the third brother feel happy? ”

Yuan Shang closed his eyes in despair.

Someone said this to him a few days ago, and he absolutely didn't believe it.

At this moment, he was convinced of what Yuan Xu said.

The strength is completely unequal, why should he compete with Yuan Xu?

"Why should I do something that doesn't feel pleasurable?" Yuan Xu said: "Let you live, I can still have a reputation for being magnanimous." ”

"You don't want to know how I got the news?" Yuan Xu got up to leave the cell, but Yuan Shang suddenly asked.

"I already know, so why bother asking." Yuan Xu replied: "Feng Yuantu sent you a letter. ”

"Now that you know, why do you still keep him around?" Yuan Shang asked, "Don't you be afraid of ......"

"The head of the city is cold, he has despaired of you." Yuan Xu replied: "He has some skills and is loyal to the old master. If I hadn't sent you a letter, I wouldn't have dared to use him. ”

Without further explanation, Yuan Xu walked out of the cell.

He instructed the jailer: "Release the third son, someone will come to pick him up." ”

Deng Zhan accompanied Yuan Xu and was about to leave.

Yuan Shang jumped up and grabbed the fence of the cell: "Fourth brother, can you spare our mother?" ”

"It's your mother, not mine." Yuan Xu replied coldly: "My mother was dead when I was born. ”

Yuan Shang looked desperate, but what Yuan Xu said next made him completely reassured.

"I won't kill you, and I certainly won't kill her. She was already out. ”

Leaving the prison, Deng Zhan asked Yuan Xu: "Isn't Gongzi really worried that he is secretly contacting Yecheng officials?" ”

"After all, it is a fellow father, and if you kill it directly, someone will always make a fuss about it. I give him a chance to live, if he doesn't know how to cherish it, and next time, no one will be able to say anything. ”

"What's more......" he smiled slightly: "He is prosperous and fashionable and can't stop me from breaking the city in a rage, no matter how many things he does secretly, he is not a mantis arm as a car?" ”

"I see." Deng Zhan nodded.

Yecheng was originally the seat of the Yuan family.

No matter whether Yuan Xu or any son of the Yuan family controls here, it is impossible to do bad things to the people.

Within a day of the city's breakdown, some shops were open for business.

Walking on the street, Yuan Xu looked at the opened shop: "Summoning Zhen Yan from Taiyuan, it's time to use him here." ”

Yuan Xu sent someone to invite Yuan Tan and others, but the people from Taiyuan had not yet arrived, so Yuan Xi came first.

In the study, Yuan Xu sat at the top, and Yuan Xi was sitting with him.

"The second brother came very quickly." Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "It's unexpected." ”

"The fourth brother is called, don't dare to be unhappy." Yuan Xi replied: "I have ordered that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou will be reorganized. Just want a house to spend this life in peace. ”

"The second brother did this, which made me a little uncomfortable." Yuan Xu said: "Before I could speak, you handed over the soldiers and horses." ”

"The fourth brother's martial arts far surpass me." Yuan Xi replied humbly: "With Youzhou soldiers and horses, it is more convenient to crusade against Cao Cao. ”

"It's not that easy." Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Didn't there be a Nanhua a few days ago, I suffered a big loss at his hands." ”

"I heard about that." Yuan Xi said: "Nanhua does have some ability, but he hasn't been driven away by the fourth brother? ”

"Also do your Youzhou Thorn History." Yuan Xu said something that surprised Yuan Xi: "There is a lot of trouble in government affairs, and there is no need to ask about military affairs." From now on, the soldiers and horses from all over the country will be uniformly dispatched by me. ”
