Zhou Yu did not refuse Yuan Shu's proposal, because he knew that when he appeared here, he already represented an attitude of the Zhou family in Shu County. In this case, how could he refuse to have a relationship with Yuan Shu?

Yuan Shu was naturally very satisfied with Zhou Yu's attitude of acquaintance, and then held a grand marriage ceremony, announcing to the world that the Sun family and the Zhou family in Shu County had married him.

This is not only to win over the capable general Sun Jian, nor is it just to win over the Zhou family in Lujiang, but also to tell the world, especially those protégés of the Yuan family who are attached to Yuan Shao, he Yuan Shu is the orthodox heir of the Yuan family!

It's just that although Yuan Shu's abacus played very loudly, he was quickly poured a basin of cold water down, making Yuan Shu instantly turn from great joy to anger.

"What a Yuan Shao! What a Yuan legacy! What a Yuan Xu! Yuan Shu muttered coldly, obviously furious. Just now, the news came from Yuzhou, Yuan Shao took Zhou Xin as the assassin of Yuzhou, together with Yuan Yu of Shanyang County of Yanzhou and Yuan Xu of Jiyin County, raised 40,000 troops to attack Yuzhou.

"Lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the army to Yuzhou and behead the enemy and sacrifice it to the lord!" Sun Jian's voice rang out in the hall.

It's just that in this regard, Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "Wentai can stay here in Nanyang." ”

After speaking, he gave a rare explanation, "This time is not only to fight for Yuzhou, but also to force those wavering people in the family to make up their minds." So I have to go there myself! Otherwise, once those people defect to Yuan Shao's side, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Subsequently, Yuan Shu personally led an army of 50,000 into Yuzhou, and went straight to Zhou Xin with Ji Ling as the vanguard. Although in the face of Yuan Shu's army, Zhou Xin and others tried to defend the city, but after more than ten days, they were broken by Yuan Shu's army. Zhou Xin was beheaded by Yuan Shu on the spot, while Yuan Yi and Yuan Xu took advantage of the chaos to flee back to Yanzhou.

In this regard, Yuan Shu did not continue to pursue, but directly led the army into Ruyang, where the Yuan clan was located.

"Everyone, it's time to make a decision......" Yuan Shu looked at the many Yuan family elders with an unkind expression, and his tone was full of threats. He was getting impatient, or he wasn't going to spend it slowly with these old men.

A few days later, Yuan Shu officially became the head of the Yuan family, and at the same time designated Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Xu and others as family traitors. For a while, Yuan Shu's momentum soared again, but Yuan Shao's side didn't seem to have any impact.

"Humph! Did Yuan Shu think that I really climbed to this point just by relying on my family reputation? Yuan Shao looked at the information in his hand and sneered.

"My lord." Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Ziyuan, but Gongsun Chan agreed?" Yuan Shao asked lightly when he heard this.

"The lord is wise, Gongsun Chan has already agreed." Xu You said with a chuckle, and at the same time presented a letter to Yuan Shao.

After unfolding and looking at it twice, Yuan Shao suddenly sneered, "Hehe, it is said that this Gongsun Zan used to study with Lu Gong in the past, I really don't know what he has learned!" How naïve would you think that I would share Jizhou with it?! ”

"Maybe he's too confident, right? After all, he had defeated the Hu people in Liaodong in the past, and his Baima Yicong was known as the strongest cavalry in Youzhou. Xu You said with a chuckle, his tone full of mockery.

"Alas...... The strongest...... Is it true that anyone would dare to use this title......" Yuan Shao shook his head and waved his hand to let Xu Yu go down. As for the letter sent by Gongsun Zhan, he also threw it aside. Because in his opinion, there is no need for people like Gongsun Chan to waste their minds at all.

March.

Yingchuan Yingyin.

"Jizhou, ah......" When the people sent by Han Fu arrived in Yingyin, Xun Yu and others held a clan meeting again.

"I heard that between Yuan Shao and Han Fu, it seems that there is no longer as harmony as before." Xun Yan glanced around, and everyone said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, before that Yuan Shao sent people to rob Yuzhou, but they were repelled by the army led by Yuan Shu. As a result, Yuan Shu not only got the position of the head of the Yuan family, but also was condemned as a traitor...... In this case, if Yuan Shao didn't want to develop his power in the north, then after Yuan Shu completely controlled Yuzhou and Jingzhou, there would be no more chance. Hearing Xun Yan's words, Xun Yu said with a chuckle.

"It seems that Xiu Ruo and Wen Ruo are planning to go to Jizhou?" Hearing the words of the two, Xun Yue asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, since you don't want to go to Bingzhou, then Jizhou is also a good choice. Its population, agriculture and commerce are not inferior to Yuzhou. And although Yuan Shao has been expelled from the Yuan family, he is the leader of the coalition army, even if he does not have the identity of the Yuan family, his reputation is very high, and Youruo is also in Jizhou......" Xun Yu nodded when he heard this.

Well...... Han Fu sent someone to pick him up, but Xun Yu and Xun Yan didn't mention Han Fu at all, it seems that in the eyes of the two, Han Fu is not Yuan Shao's opponent at all.

"Hmm...... In this case, you should go to Jizhou, if Yuan Shao is really a person who can achieve great things, it is indeed a good choice to take refuge in him. Xun Yue said in a deep groan.

"What about you?" Xun Yu glanced around at everyone and asked.

"Haha, my Xun family has a big business, but I can't just make one bet!" Hearing this, Xun Di laughed and said, "You wait to go to Jizhou, and I'll stay in Yingchuan first to see the situation." ”

"Yuan Shu?" Xun Yue on the side asked casually.

"Well, no matter what, that Yuan Shu can indeed be called like the sun now, becoming the head of the Yuan family, and occupying Yuzhou and Nanyang." Xun Di nodded and said.

"Since that's the case, it's better to do this, Xiu Ruo and Wen Ruo go to Jizhou to join Youruo, if Yuan Shao can become a big thing, I will go to take refuge in myself. Gongfu went to Yuan Shu's side, while I and the others stayed in Yingchuan to observe the situation. Xun Yue groaned. In this way, no matter who succeeds, my Xun family can guarantee its own status. ”

Obviously, whether it is Xun Yue or Xun Di and others, they all feel that the only people who can succeed today are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. And even if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can't succeed, there are still Xun Yue and others who stay. It can be said that no matter how the world changes, the Xun family is already invincible.

"That's fine!" Xun Yu didn't say much, although he was personally more optimistic about Li Yi, but no one in the family agreed, and he had no other way.

Immediately, Xun Yu and others took their clansmen to Jizhou north under the protection of the cavalry sent by Han Fu, and Xun Di also led people south to Yuzhou to join Yuan Shu.

As mentioned earlier, in the face of the upcoming troubled times, the family will always make a choice similar to the Xun family today. Because only in this way can the family be truly preserved.
