Yuan Tan recognized the words of the master book very much, especially because he contributed the most to the matter of Shouchun, so he was recognized by the Yuan family, although he was praised by his father in this matter, but he knew that because of the relationship between his father and Yuan Shu, the relationship between his father and the family was very serious, but he did not have any complaints about him doing these things, but he was quite appreciative, this is why, whether it was Yuan Tan or all the staff in Qingzhou, they couldn't guess it, so he inquired from Yecheng later, but there was no news from Yecheng, But the father's letter came.

There is only one content, that is, no matter what time the brothers come, there must be no such thing as a brother falling apart.

Brothers and walls, this sentence is particularly conspicuous, even what he saw at the time, thinking about it today, as long as this sentence can make him remember, his father's generosity and his expectations for their brothers made Yuan Tan finally understand his father's deep meaning, but he will never easily give up the position of the son of the world and give up the competition for the position of the son.

When his father fled from Luoyang to Bohai, the other two brothers were still young, only he followed his father's side, and then because of Yuan Shu, the family was driven out, and the family property was confiscated, and even the annual ancestor worship ceremony never had the opportunity to return to Runan, such a situation, he would never allow it to happen again, and now his father has established his position in the Yuan family, no one can shake him anymore, and even now the Yuan family has been difficult to enter the eyes of his father, Therefore, in the future, he and his brothers will compete not only for the position of the head of the Yuan family, but for the world.

That position is just like the position of the head of the Yuan family, there can only be one person, and this person must be him, he doesn't want his children and grandchildren to be expelled from Yecheng one day, this situation will definitely not happen, and today's words in the master book can be said to have given him a reassurance, and now the support for him from top to bottom makes him full of confidence.

There are conspirators like Fu Zhu and Xun Zhan running for him in Yecheng, what else does he have to worry about, and he knows the talents of Fu Zhu and Xun Zhan, with them, his father will definitely not ignore their attitude, but Yuan Shao, who has been working all the way in the General's Mansion and the Han Court, knows this kind of thing too well.

In the General's Mansion back then, how many people supported Shi Hou because Liu Bian was the eldest son? And how many people are for their own selfish interests, he saw all this too clearly, at that time, maybe he would not have thought that one day he would encounter the same situation, and he would have similar troubles with Emperor Ling, so since he had seen the filth of their support for Shi Hou before, he would feel scared when the family once again asked him for the so-called tradition of establishing the eldest son.

When his identity label was the family, he did all this with peace of mind, which was normal to fight for interests, but when his identity and status changed, it was different, and even he felt the threat of the family, and this was almost exactly the same as the situation of Emperor Ling at that time.

Emperor Ling prefers Dong Hou, and the situation is exactly the same as his liking of his third son, Yuan Shang, but because of the family, he insists on not establishing the eldest son, which is the same.

The main book analyzes Yuan Tan very well, but there are some things he knows whether he should say or not, as if the influence of the family is great, but the lord's attitude towards the family has changed, but it must not be said, otherwise this will make Yuan Tan lose his ambition, after all, this is a long-term battle, the support of the family has a negative side, but it cannot be denied that he has a positive side, and even Yuan Shang is a little unscrupulous in order to get more support from the family, so it is not terrible to have the support of the family, The key is to look at one's own ability and strength, if it really reaches the point of being extremely powerful, then the general must not dare to despise it, and the last successor to the throne will definitely be the son Yuan Tan.

And the next step, to put it bluntly, is the battle of Shouchun, although the battle of Shouchun can not be changed, although Yuan Shu will be defeated, but after the battle of Shouchun, where will the direction of Jizhou be next, whether the center of gravity has changed This is the key, and if you can know the general's intentions, it will be better, of course, this kind of news must not be learned from Yecheng, otherwise it will not make any sense, but it will make the general feel that there are assassins everywhere around him, so it is very difficult to guess the general, but once the next plan is guessed, That effect will be very useful, and at that time, as long as it is on the table, it will definitely make the general feel that there is a heart between father and son, and it will be more brilliant.

"Then you say, what kind of deployment will my father make next?" Yuan Tan asked the master bookkeeper.

"There are two possibilities, one is to completely exterminate Liu Lan, and the other is to stabilize Xuzhou and plot against the Central Plains." The master book squinted and said.

Yuan Tan nodded and said with a smile: "It is very likely that my father will make these two choices, but what I know is that my father is very angry with Cao Cao's attack on Hanoi, and has even begun to plan to attack the Central Plains. ”

First of all, now Liu Lan's remnant strength is in Guangling, and there is a part of Shouchun, on the other hand, the main force of our army is resting in Xuzhou for several months, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and strong, if the troops are sent at this time, I think it must be the best to send troops to Guangling, defeat Liu Lan, even if it is to beat the Yangtze River, it is not bad, at that time, at least Liu Lan will no longer be able to figure Xuzhou, can only develop to Wu County and Huiji, and we can attack Cao Cao with peace of mind. So this is the best result that the humble heart thinks, on the contrary, if we choose to turn against Cao Cao at this time, then Cao Cao can only continue to join forces with Liu Lan when he is cornered, what are our chances of winning? But if we attack Guangling, no matter what Cao Cao's reaction is, whether to send troops or not, it will be very beneficial to us, so I feel that taking Guangling is the first thing, and the choice of the general will inevitably be more inclined to Gao Xuan. ”

Yuan Tan pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but my father's mind is so easy to guess, as you said, attacking Guangling is indeed a good choice, and it can even be said that everyone in the world is clear about the choice, since everyone knows that this is the most beneficial choice for Jizhou, then Liu Lan will naturally be clear, then let me ask you, when we attack Guangling, will Liu Lan be defenseless?" Definitely, with Liu Lan's strength, Wen Chou can really defeat Liu Lan alone? I don't think it may be, and my father also understands in his heart that this matter will be very difficult, the way of using soldiers, the truth is real, the truth is false, the sound of the east and the west, if it is me, the people of the world, especially our opponents know that we are going to fight Guangling and start to defend strictly, then we must not really do this, if we do it, we will not get benefits, even if we win, it must be a miserable victory, then when we and Liu Lan are both defeated, the only one who will reap the benefits can only be Cao Cao.

In other words, if everyone in the world thinks that we are going to fight Guangling, but we take it by surprise and kill Cao Cao by surprise, what will it be? Quickly eliminate Cao Cao with lightning speed, do not give Liu Lan and Cao Cao any time to react, and after Liu Lan reacts, we have captured Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he just wants to help Cao Cao It is too late, at that time, we are competing with Liu Lan for Guangling, and the confidence is even more sufficient, even if we have been dragging with them, we will definitely be able to drag Liu Lan to death in the end, do you say that your ideas are more beneficial to Jizhou, or are these things I said are more beneficial to Jizhou? Yuan Tan said quite confidently.

"Naturally, the assassination is far-sighted, and the humble duty is not enough." The main book said that there was no compliment in this sentence, there must be, but more sincerely admired, because he thought about it carefully, if everything can develop according to everything envisaged by the assassin history, then attacking the Central Plains is obviously the best choice.

"This matter is not trivial, since you said that you must be consistent with your father, then first of all, we must not be blind, we must consider carefully, it is best for us to determine internally, and then communicate with Wen Chou's side, see his attitude, if it is consistent, we will immediately pass the book back, if it is inconsistent, we will listen to Wen Chou's high opinions."

"It's better to be humble."

"Okay, that's it for today, I'm a little tired, so you can step down."

"No, I'm going to retire from my humble position."

"Well, don't forget to bring everyone over tomorrow to discuss this matter and see what their attitude is."

After the master book gave a salute, he retreated, only Yuan Tan was left alone in the study, sitting in front of the low table, watching the master book leave in a hurry and closed the door before sitting down again, he did not return to the inner house from the side door to rest, but wrote directly to Wen Chou, rather than write this letter to Wen Chou tomorrow after listening to the attitude of the account and then write this letter to Wen Chou to test his opinion, it is better to write it in advance today, as for whether it is sent to Xuzhou or not, it does not matter, even if it is passed on after listening to their reaction tomorrow, so write it in advance today, Save tomorrow too much time, and now you have too much time for him, he can have more time to polish, and even to scrutinize every word to make sense.

In fact, he didn't know how much effect this letter would have, but because of his understanding of Wen Chou, he knew his attitude very well, with his temper, he would definitely not be willing to eliminate Liu Lan, and there was one more fatal thing was the death of Yan Liang, he wanted to avenge him more than anyone else, so if he asked him how to choose, nine times out of ten, Wen Chou would choose to send troops to Guangling, without thinking about anything else, let alone the overall situation.

So what he wants to know or the news that he wants to test out is Wen Chou's attitude, but the key is whether he is strongly advocating sending troops to Guangling, if he advocates sending troops to Guangling, then he is eighty percent sure that his suggestion will be adopted by his father, on the other hand, if Wen Chou also suggests sending troops to the Central Plains to capture Yuzhou and Yanzhou, then the possibility of his father sending troops to Yanzhou in this matter is almost 100%, so he will have no worries about passing the book back, but this credit has nothing to do with him, At most, is it to bring the father-son relationship closer, or to make the father impress him?

Because of Qingzhou's several failures, his father was extremely disappointed in him, and even he always felt that it was because of Qingzhou's repeated defeats that he had the idea of his father setting up another third child, but because of this idea, because of the sudden emergence of this opponent, although it would make their brothers fight, but also allowed him to not collapse after several three blows, but became more and more frustrated, because of the opponent, so he must not easily admit defeat, because of the opponent, because of the opponent, because he wants to keep his future son and even say a bad word about the future prince, He could only grit his teeth and persevere to the end.

Although he now knows that the possibility of wanting his father to take care of himself as the son of the world has changed from eighty percent to forty percent, but Yuan Shang wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, it will not be so smooth, and he can change from eighty percent to forty percent because of the defeat in several battles, so that is to say, if he performs well enough, it is also possible to change from forty percent to eighty percent, and finally beat the third child again and seize the position of the son, which he knows very well.

I wrote this letter to Wen Chou for a long time, until the sunset and the morning eclipse was ten, but only half of it was written, it can be said that Yuan Tan's letter is really attentive, every word has to be considered again and again, and the words of each paragraph are the result of repeated writing, put away the silk paper and put it into his arms, returned to the inner house, and after eating the night food, he continued to write in the middle hall, until it was close to the child, which was considered to be completed.

Early the next morning, after Yuan Tan got up, he sent people to recruit more than ten people in the palace, such as the chief bookkeeper and the other driver, to the conference hall.

On the left and right sides of Yuan Tan are the other driver and the main book, the two can be said to be his right-hand men, not only capable but also deeply trusted by him, now Yuan Tan will discuss anything with the two, as for other people, including Zhizhong, it is more like a decoration, Yuan Tan will not consult them anything, their responsibility is to be responsible for handling some official business.

"Presumably you are all clear about today's topic, please tell me your views, and I hope there will be good news for me."

Several people all laughed: "We have all heard about it, and we all agree that the lord's analysis is very correct, and we all fully support the lord's direct transmission back to Jizhou, as for sending a message to Wen Chou, in fact, it is no longer meaningful, and if Wen Chou is aware of it, then the possibility of the lord being in the limelight in front of the general may be robbed by Wen Chou." ”

"Haha." Yuan Tan laughed, he originally wanted to consult their opinions, but he didn't expect that they were already worried that Wen Chou would detect his intentions, and said triumphantly: "Okay, since everyone thinks so, then the master book is ready to pass on the book, and send what I said yesterday back to Jizhou." ”

"No!"
