When Yuan Kui woke up, his face was as pale as paper and his spirit was sluggish. In the room, oil lamps have been lit, and the lights are flickering. Yuan Kui's mood at the moment, like the dim lights, was extremely low. He glanced around and there was no one else in the room.

"Someone's coming!" Yuan Kui shouted.

With a creak, the attendant outside the room hurriedly walked in.

"Master, you're awake. I'll have the soup boiled and I'll bring it in for you right away. The housekeeper stood beside Yuan Kui, with a worried look on his face, and said, "Shao Gongzi's matter, although Shao Gongzi did not do it right, but don't worry about it. No matter how much you worry, it's useless. ”

"This evil beast is not worthy of a son of man."

As soon as Yuan Kui heard Yuan Shao's name, he was angry, and said in a deep voice: "The century-old reputation of the Yuan family was destroyed in one fell swoop because of this evil animal. ”

After a pause, Yuan Kui asked, "What about people?" Is there anyone outside the house? ”

The housekeeper looked bitter, shook his head and said, "Some of them are gone, but there are still many scholars left outside the mansion." These people want to let the master go out and give an explanation to the scholars and Confucian scholars in the world. ”

In an instant, Yuan Kui's face changed greatly.

The housekeeper comforted: "Master, things are very troublesome, but as long as it drags on for a while, it will pass." ”

Yuan Kui said: "It's different, it's different. ”

When he spoke, Yuan Kui's eyes were full of bitterness, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be usually very smart, this time, how could he do such a stupid thing.

The housekeeper said, "The villain doesn't understand the master's words. Just, what to do now? The outside of the house was blocked, and it was difficult for the family to enter and exit, and the situation was very bad. ”

Yuan Kui was suddenly silent and fell into a choice.

After a long time, Yuan Kui's eyes had already made a decision, and he ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, you will post a notice at the door and cut off relations with Yuan Shao." ”

The housekeeper was shocked and said incredibly: "Master, although Young Master Shao made a mistake, it won't be like this." If you cut off the relationship with Shao Gongzi, at this time, wouldn't it make Shao Gongzi worse? ”

"Family first!"

Yuan Kui sighed helplessly, his eyes solemn.

Immediately, Yuan Kui asked the housekeeper to help him stand up, brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a notice to sever relations with Yuan Shao. After writing, Yuan Kui asked the housekeeper to take it out and stick it outside the door. To make such a decision, Yuan Kui was also helpless, but he had to hold his fist family.

……

Nanyang County, Wan County.

The matter of Yuan Shao sitting down also caused Yuan Shu to be affected.

In the study, Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang, the main bookkeeper, sat opposite each other.

Yan Xiang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate the great Confucians of Ye County, which aroused the anger of Confucian scholars and scholars in the world. Since you and Yuan Shao are brothers, many scholars have transferred their anger to the lord. Further, Nanyang County was also affected. ”

Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shao, this idiot, striking Wang Lei, is it useful to assassinate a few Confucians?" I really can't figure out why he's so stupid! ”

Yan Xiang smiled and said, "Lord, the matter has come to this point, and we must consider ways to deal with it." ”

Yuan Shu asked rhetorically: "Master Book, what are your suggestions?" ”

Yan Xiang didn't think about it, and replied directly: "The best way is to cut off relations with Yuan Shao." ”

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had a bad relationship, and after listening to the suggestion, he nodded without hesitation: "Not only do you want to cut off relations with Yuan Shao, but you also want to denounce Yuan Shao." In addition, it is necessary to show that Nanyang County will never have the assassination of the Great Confucian. You have full authority to deal with this matter. ”

Yan Xiang nodded, bowed down and said, "Obey orders!" ”

……

Yanzhou, the state pastoral office.

Cao Cao held the information in his hand, and after reading it, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Military advisor, is this what Yuan Shao did?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Yes, this is what Yuan Shao sent to do." ”

The news of the assassination of the Great Confucian in Ye County has reached Cao Cao's hands.

Xi Zhicai continued: "Not only that, when Xu You found Yuan Shao and put forward a proposal to solve it, Yuan Shao directly left Xu You to take care of his young son because of Yuan Shang's illness. ”

Cao Cao sighed lightly: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so stupid!" ”

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "Lord, Yanzhou can't sit idly by and ignore this matter. Wang Lei's Daru was assassinated, and this time it became an opportunity for Wang Lei to recruit scholars. In order to win the hearts of the scholars, and to clear our relationship with Yuan Shao, the lord should also issue a proclamation to inform the Yanzhou scholars, stating the lord's opposition to Yuan Shao, and affirming the lord's attitude towards the scholars. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "This matter, the military advisor can arrange it." It's just that it's cheaper for Wang Lei. ”

Xi Zhicai chuckled and said, "Lord, we are not without gains. At present, many yellow turban thieves have been contacted, and there are further contacts. As long as you lure and pull again, you will definitely be able to achieve results. Qingzhou is about to be in the pocket of the lord. ”

Cao Cao had a smile on his face, full of ambition.

……

Bohai County, Nanpi County.

Taishou Mansion, Yuan Shao sat in the study, looking irritable.

Many of the great Confucians and scholars under his rule showed signs of leaving Bohai County one after another. In addition, many of the officials under him also hung up their seals.

The entire Bohai County is like a dead leaf swaying in the wind.

Xu You hurried over, saw Yuan Shao, who looked haggard, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the situation is unfavorable, why are you still sighing in the study?" Now, steps must be taken urgently. Whoever makes a suggestion will be pushed out and beheaded for public display, so as to appease the anger of the soldiers of the world. In addition, the lord must also apologize in person to show his sincerity. ”

Yuan Shao flicked his sleeves, very unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, does it have to be like this?" ”

"It has to be so!"

Xu Yu nodded heavily, and his tone was stern.

"Report!"

Outside the study, a soldier hurried over.

The soldier held a piece of information in his hand and handed it to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao saw it, his face turned blue with anger, he slapped it on the table, and in anger, he threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the ground.

In his eyes, there was endless anger.

Xu You picked it up, and after reading it, he understood the situation.

The content on the bamboo slips is that Yuan Kui, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, as well as Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan and other princes in the world broke off relations with him. Such news is not a big blow to Yuan Shao.

Xu You's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord, now is the time for survival, and you must cheer up." If no action is taken at this time, the situation is even more unimaginable. Lord, it's not too late to make amends. ”

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and forced himself to be quiet.

However, no matter what, the anger in my heart was difficult to suppress. The decadence and frustration also swirled in the chest and could not be dissipated. Yuan Shao waved his hand irritably, and said, "Ziyuan, how to do it, you watch it, I'll be quiet." ”

Xu You's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

"Retire next!"

Xu Yu turned around and exited the study lonely, leaving Yuan Shao alone in the study.

ps: three watches, call it a day; Ming'er continued to erupt and add more.
