"Enlighten the Holy One, this matter is very important, and you must not be reckless." Yan Xiang also understood Yuan Shu's current thoughts, but because of this, he had to be more and more careful, and like him, he looked arrogant, but to put it bluntly, wouldn't it just add to the chaos, and in the end it would inevitably fall short.

"This is not reckless, this is the result of my repeated thoughts, you and I are now instead of worrying about this and fear that here, it is better to give it a go, if we succeed, we will be able to protect our longevity, and if we fail, we will go all the way south to seek a comeback in the future." Yuan Shu pouted, excited, anyway, if he can't negotiate a result, then it is better to gamble, anyway, the worst consequences are the same.

"Son of heaven, where else can we go south? In the past, I could go to Jiujiang to Yuzhang, but now? Now is not the time for us to go if we want to, there is no safe place in the south, even if we can go to these two places, but under the threat of Liu Lan, the same, there is only a dead end in the south. ”

Dead? Yuan Shu's last hope is there, just like the Kuangting defeat back then, although he didn't go to Jiujiang and Yuzhang in the end, but he fled all the way south but also discouraged Cao Cao, which gave him the opportunity to make a comeback again, he still wants to repeat the old plan, but found that the pattern of the world has already changed, the result of his current flight to the south is tantamount to a sheep sending a tiger's mouth, his eyes are dark, Liu Lan is now relying on his troops can be said to completely deter the southern forces, these princes have to look at his face, Even as long as he is willing, it is very simple to take down all the southern counties, and if he goes over, is it tantamount to throwing himself into the net?

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "If we don't even have this last way to retreat, then what hope do you say I have now?" ”

Yuan Shu was about to despair, but he didn't expect Yan Xiang to think of a way out for him: "Son of Heaven, since you have already sent the prince to Jizhou, why don't you consider retreating to Jizhou as well?" ”

Yan Xiang knew very well that it was one thing to let Yuan Yao go to Jizhou, and it was another thing to let Yuan Shu go, the reason was very simple, no matter how the two brothers fought, it was a fight between their brothers, and it would not involve the juniors, so it would be too ungraceful.

Therefore, Yuan Shu can send Yuan Yao away with peace of mind, and Yuan Shao can also be generously contained, but when it comes to the incident of the two brothers, it is different.

But Yuan Shu didn't know that the current Yuan Shao had no heart to fight because of his son's battle for succession, but even if Yuan Shu knew about it, it would be difficult for him to make such a decision, of course, if it really came to the end of the mountain, maybe he would change his mind, but now at least he would not agree.

Such a result, perhaps Yan Xiang knew it early on. But he still wanted to make a final attempt, maybe the Son of Heaven changed his attention, maybe he would give up the grudge between their brothers in the past for the safety of his life, but his idea was still not achieved, Yuan Shu never thought of going to Jizhou at all, and even he would rather die on the battlefield than go to Jizhou and be ridiculed by Yuan Shao.

Although it is unlikely that such an idea will happen, since the brothers have already divided the winners and losers, it is unlikely that they will get rid of him, and it is even less likely that they will humiliate him, because they are the queen of the Yuan family, because he wants to set an example in the world, that is, Yuan Shao wants to fall into the well, maybe he has to make a generous appearance.

Revenge and revenge are two different things, the grievances between their brothers are not the hatred of killing their father and humiliating their mother, but the difference between the families, the real hatred seems to be big, but it is not so much that it is not enough to really put the other party to death to relieve the hatred, but there are many ways to take revenge, just like taking Yuan Shu to Jizhou, to put it bluntly, it is a way of revenge.

And this way of revenge can not only get the praise of the world, but also relieve the hatred in the heart, isn't this a more comfortable way to take revenge?

Thinking about it in the future, when Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao's low-mindedness, it was no more painful than killing him, or even letting him die, and humiliating him would not be more painful than killing him?

For these, Yan Xiang saw it very clearly, but he wouldn't say these consequences, at least now it's useless even if he doesn't say it, and if he says it, he won't think about it, but if he really forces him to a corner, then even if he does, Yuan Shu may go, because he is such a person!

Although Shouchun looks in danger now, it does not really threaten Yuan Shu's life, and even he still has a trace of luck in his heart, so it is almost impossible to let him put down his body now, unless the Zhang Jaws are now besieging the city, Shouchun is about to be breached, and anger is just around the corner, then all problems are not a problem, at that time, even if he might as well suggest retreating to Jizhou, Yuan Shu will come out by himself, and now it is meaningless for anyone to mention it.

Since the attempt failed, then Yan Xiang would no longer continue to insist, or even he himself thought that all this might be just a false alarm, and Liu Xun could turn the tide?

"You're no longer objecting?"

"Yes." Yan Xiang knew that there was no point in opposing it, so why not make a last ditch fight as Yuan Shu said? Maybe there's a hope? Anyway, it was already at the end of the road, and although Yan Xiang's words were not good, at least the two of them reached a consensus.

Knowing this, why bother at the beginning, Yuan Shu looked at Yan Xiang with some tears and laughter, and the latter also looked helpless, and spread his hands: "Since the Holy Lord has made up his mind, Weichen will naturally fully support it, but Ji Ling's matter is planned to be suppressed like this?" ”

"Even if I don't want to put this matter down now, with our current situation, I am anxious to deal with Zhang Jaw, how can I still have the strength to punish him, and I don't even dare to punish him, but you can rest assured, I will never spare a deserter like him, as long as the battle of Shouchun Ke ends, I will settle the new account and the old account with him!"

Although this is the case, as long as it is determined that Ji Ling is loyal and reliable, in the end, it will not be done, who does not know his habits, otherwise Ji Ling may be killed even if he has ten lives.

But whether it is Ji Ling or Liu Xun, Yuan Shu understands in his heart that it is impossible to act rashly against them now, but the battle of Shouchun is over, but it may not be, even if they are okay after this incident, even if Yuan Shu will not punish them, he will also consider changing their positions, after all, this period of time has really frightened him, and he is worried every day

After being said by a few people, Liu Lan realized that Fan Min of Lao Shizi really couldn't act rashly, and if the evil fire in his heart couldn't be released, it would be called an angry person.

Yan Xiang left, leaving with his letters, one to Yuan Yao and one to Liu Xun and Ji Ling, there is no way to know what will happen next, whether Liu Xun can turn the tide, whether his son can go to Jizhou, Yuan Shu is always worried in his heart, especially his son Yuan Yao, he must leave as soon as possible.

Yuan Shu glanced at the direction of Shu County, now his concern for his son is heavier than his own safety, he represents the present, but his son represents the future, it doesn't matter if he dies, but his son can't.

Shouchun began to get nervous and busy, and the messenger set out on his journey again

A few days later, they arrived at their destination with Yuan Shu's orders, and after getting the news, Yuan Yao personally went out of the city to greet him, and there was nothing more exciting than now, because he wanted to stay, and he hoped that his father would agree.

But he wasn't sure whether the content of the letter would be a yes or a no. Yuan Yao was worried and looking forward to it, this time no matter what the content was, he could only carry it out, if his father could let him stay, he would definitely do his best to solve the danger of Shouchun, if his father did not agree, he would not embarrass his father again, because his responsibility was not only for himself but also for his family, his mother and brothers and sisters, he could die, but he could not care about their lives or deaths.

Anxiously waiting, panicking in his heart, Yuan Yao's heart is extremely complicated now, he also knows that your brother who his father asked him to leave is as a prince, he can't be a deserter, but as a son, he can't ignore the safety of his parents and brothers and let them stay in a dangerous environment.

Now even he is wandering, it is difficult to make a decision, and even he is a little looking forward to the final choice to his father, otherwise he himself will be too tormented.

This state is not very good, and he feels very uncomfortable when he sees himself, and he used to be full of pride, thinking that he can become a general like his father, but

Now, everything seems to have changed, he seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to have any clue, does he have the qualifications to do this, and does he have the ability to change the world?

He once felt that he had the ability to change the world, but now he realized that he was so small, and even like his father, he underestimated the people of the world and the princes of the world.

At this time, he just wants to change again, and he is powerless, and even if he is not careful, he will go to the abyss of no return, all of which cannot be blamed simply on his father, he has done some things wrong, but Shouchun's problem is top-down, not a person's problem, so if you want to change, you have to change completely.

The previous road didn't work, and we needed to find another way, but where is this road? Yuan Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, if he knew, Shouchun would not be what he is now.

Now they are destined to become a stepping stone under the feet of Cao Cao or even Liu Lan, and they don't even have time to accumulate strength first, although this is the result of their father being the emperor, but if their father is not the emperor, can such an ending be changed?

No, they have reached the point where it is difficult to move an inch, and the emperor is the last dying struggle, or there will be a good result, but the current situation is the worst.

My father considered this, but at that time, Liu Lan and Cao Cao should not have taken care of them, all of this was just a mistake in the prediction of the result, and they didn't expect Han Tianzi to ascend to the top and shout, they would be able to release their previous suspicions.

He and his father may fail, but the Yuan family will not be defeated, no one in the world can shake the strength of his uncle in Jizhou, coupled with their switch, the political capital accumulated by the Yuan family for hundreds of years will be completely integrated, who in the world can compete with it?

Suddenly, Yuan Yao seemed to think of something, Liu Lan, this person has a very magical power, his existence He feels that it will pose a great threat to the Yuan family in the future, where the Yuan family can go in the end, the key is Liu Lan, he is the key to restraining the Yuan family.

Yuan Yao smiled, although Liu Lan looked very humble, not even worth mentioning, but is it not more legendary and more important for such a small person to have today?

"Prince."

A team of fast horses quickly appeared in front of Yuan Yao, turned over and dismounted Shi Lidao.

Yuan Yao smiled, he saw an old friend, Yuan Hui, his own brother, now the commander of his father's forbidden army, Yuan Yao smiled and helped him up, and said, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

"If it's someone else, the saint won't worry, I'll let you leave no matter what."

"You can still laugh!" Yuan Yao's face immediately became extremely ugly when he heard this, and he also knew that Yuan Hui just used a relatively easy way to explain his intentions, but his way made Yuan Yao very dissatisfied.

Of course, the dissatisfaction was not because of Yuan Hui, but because of the news he brought, so no matter how he said the answer today, the result was the same, and he was reprimanded by Yuan Yao.

"Brother, you're angry, but don't come at me, I'm just an errand runner." Yuan Shu also understood this matter, other people couldn't stop him, it didn't work, but Yuan Hui was different, there was a brotherly friendship, if he didn't leave, Yuan Shu would punish Yuan Hui, so Yuan Yao could only compromise no matter what.

"You shouldn't have come!" Yuan Yao looked like an elder teaching a lesson, he was very angry, he could still play tricks when others came, but how could he be in front of his own brothers, plus they grew up together since childhood, he couldn't really let him be punished.

Looking at Yuan Yao's expression, Yuan Hui shrugged helplessly, "The order of the Son of Heaven, can I refuse?" I don't dare to take a few lives! He said and looked at Yuan Yao, but saw that the car behind Yuan Yao was already ready, and weren't there other brothers around the car?

instantly understood that he had been fooled, and Yuan Yao was ready to leave, and said, "Brother, you are ready to leave, and you are still scaring me." ”

"Did I scare you?" If it weren't for you, I would have gone directly to Lujiang, his eyes became sharp, it's all you, I just don't want to leave now.

"Brother, I'm also forced to come, you want to come?" Yuan Hui also looked aggrieved, he knew that this errand was not a good errand, it was not pleasing to both ends, if it was possible, who would like to come, but I couldn't refuse, the Son of Heaven said, if I can't complete the task, don't say that I am now the leader of the forbidden army, and my life is not guaranteed, brother, can I come? Dare to refuse?
