People's helplessness is vividly realized by Yuan Yao at this moment, not that you can change the result if you know the answer, but you know the result but can't change the process, you can only watch the result happen.

He sighed, how much helplessness there was, and how much powerlessness there was, it was originally a very simple matter, but now it has become so complicated, and it was easy to explain, but it has become so difficult that it is impossible for him to leave it.

As for Ji Ling, Yuan Jian didn't care at all, he came this time for only one purpose, to find an opportunity to send Yuan Yao away, and even the whole army was just a pretense, so that Ji Ling and Liu Xun could shift their attention to themselves, and create convenience and conditions for Yuan Yao to leave.

When people are exhausted, they won't trust anyone, Yuan Shu's current situation is like this, he would rather believe that Ji Ling and Liu Xun are plotting against each other than believe in the loyalty of the two of them, because he can't afford to lose, in fact, this is also a kind of helplessness, a kind of desolation, if it is changed on weekdays, how can he be afraid of these, but now he is afraid that he or even his son will become the wedding dress for the promotion of the two, these are ridiculous to think about, the two people who trust the most are now the most likely to hold him and even carry his head to please the weight of the new lord, It's a joke, it's a shame, but is there anything else he can do, no, otherwise he wouldn't be as passive as he is now.

Because of the lack of confidence, he can only do this, if Shouchun now has the strength to compete with Ji Ling and Liu Xun in Lujiang, he will not do it, but without this ability, he can only swallow his anger, and even have to curry favor with the two, for fear that the two will really turn against the water at this time.

So when Yuan Shu said this, Yuan Yao felt ridiculous, he wanted to persuade him to trust the two, but it was useless, not only Yuan Shu would not be naïve to think that the two of them would not oppose, including Yuan Shu also had the same attitude.

At such a critical moment, how helpless Yuan Yao was, he was helpless at such a critical juncture, why was his father and uncle so uncourageous, with their scheming and insight, they naturally couldn't see that the two had absolutely no two hearts, why couldn't they convince him?

In fact, this matter was drilled by himself, and Yuan Shu didn't think about finding out the truth, so Ji Ling and Liu Xun are loyal until the end of the Battle of Shouchun, which means that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu must believe in their loyalty.

Of course he understood this, and the point of contention between him and Yuan Jian was that he had to leave now, but he wanted to stay and make his final contribution to Shouchun.

But this is what Yuan Shu can't tolerate, he has to leave, only if he leaves, then whether it is Shouchun facing Cao Cao and Liu Lan, or even facing Ji Ling and Liu Xun, he will not be too passive, I dare not say that he is invincible, but at least he has no worries.

You can give it a go, Yuan Shu has learned about the situation of Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw these days, although there are not many of them, they also have some understanding, especially the reason why the two were reused by Liu Lan, although the rumors are true and false, but the two of them, especially Zhang Liao, must be a ghost from it in order to have their current status in Xuzhou, otherwise Lu Bu's other surrendered generals, why haven't those who are even equal in their names have been reused?

So Yuan Shu can see a little hope now, if the enemy generals here are Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, there may really be no hope, but Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao have every chance, especially once Zhang Xun's plan is successful, Shouchun will be completely safe.

As a staff member, Yuan Jian knows all the truth, he came on this trip, everything can be discussed or even compromised, but only Yuan Yao must leave this point without any room for concession, although it is the Yuan family of Chen County, but Yuan Yao also has to call him uncle, especially his toughness in this matter, that kind of domineering performance, all the time makes Yuan Yao feel that he is relying on his 'Qincha' body to deliberately put on a fight to make things difficult for himself.

Therefore, Yuan Chuan in Yuan Yao's eyes is here to go against himself and disgust himself.

For him, I almost hate him.

But Yuan Jian is definitely not this kind of person, he is very slick and accidental, but Yuan Shu gave a death order in this matter, so when facing Yuan Yao, his persistence became a shelf in his eyes.

Yuan Liancheng, who can be a man, has become a stubborn old guy in Yuan Yao's eyes, in fact, he is quite helpless, but if he can refuse, who wants to take on such a thankless thing, he will not have any credit if he does it well, and his life will not be guaranteed if he can't do it.

Why bother, no one wants to offend people, he has no choice but to come, Yuan Shu has come to the door, how to push?

But he had already thought about it when he came, in fact, this matter is also simple, to put it bluntly, it is to do a favor and satisfy both parties, but he didn't expect that things were not what he thought at all, and this stumped him in the easiest thing, what to do, if you don't want to be a villain, you can't do it.

If he didn't have Yuan Shu's death order, he would have countless ways to take himself out, wipe it clean, and be a villain, or Yuan Yao, he wouldn't be stupid, wouldn't it be his bad luck to settle accounts in the future?

But now, he has no way out, for the sake of Shouchun, for the sake of the lord, for the sake of the Son of Heaven, he can only bite the bullet, but he found that he may be really wrong, or even very wrong, he didn't expect Yuan Yao to be so insistent and so opposed to leaving, which was completely contrary to his thoughts, so that he was a little uncertain for a while, and he didn't know how to continue.

So now Yuan Shu can only ask Liu Xun for help, he can't send the news back and let Yuan Shu find a way, ask Yuan Shu about everything, so what is his value?

But Liu Xun can't help it, now Yuan Yao hates him from the bottom of his heart, hates him from the bottom of his bones, annoys him when he sees him, let alone mention the matter of leaving, it's difficult to even see each other, and even Yuan Yao said that all this was caused by himself, blaming everything on himself, he is now a sinner in an instant, if this thing is because he didn't succeed, then let alone the credit, it is inevitable to be punished.

As a last resort, Yuan Jian had no choice but to lower his posture, of course, not groveling, but just making some compromises, this was his last concession, otherwise he would have to be embarrassed, he was too much, he felt that he was humble and shameless.

Yuan Jian saw Yuan Yao again, and he was moved by emotion and reason, this time he was not so tough, he said it very tactfully, it was all his father's meaning, you embarrass me, I can't make a difference, everyone understands each other.

The two met again in such a seemingly relatively harmonious atmosphere, and the incident was resolved, which could be regarded as allowing Yuan Jian to have an explanation for Yuan Shu, but Yuan Yao did not leave, he just emphasized that he would leave immediately and return to Shouchun to see his father.

This is a very risky decision, if he really leaves, then he will have to die even if he doesn't die, Yuan Jian gave him another suggestion, first go to a county in Lujiang County, such as Shu County, and then pass the book back to see what the Son of Heaven means.

This is Yuan Lian's concession, whether he stays in Lujiang or returns to Shouchun, it is unacceptable to him, but as long as he leaves Lujiang, it will be different.

Because staying away from Lujiang and Shouchun is equivalent to staying away from danger, he can give Yuan Shu an explanation, as for the next things, he can't control it, let Yuan Shu solve it himself.

Yuan Yao left like this, and when he left, he didn't forget to promise that he would ensure Ji Ling's thoughtfulness as much as possible, looking at the two of them, Yuan Yao's eyes were a little strange, but he didn't talk much, at least they let Yuan Yao go, most of them showed that they really didn't have any objections, otherwise with Yuan Yao in their hands, such a hostage would not be changed.

Wrapping him around, any danger is nothing, Yuan Shu doesn't dare to make things difficult, and even if Zhang Jaw comes, he can hand him over, this is the safest talisman.

But neither of them did it, and let Yuan Yao go, at this point Yuan Lian starved to death, their attitude completely changed, and even the tone of their speech became extremely polite.

And then, it was Ji Ling who began to perform, and he put forward one of his bold ideas, which immediately made Yuan Lian's tongue bridge.

He actually thought of a piece with Zhang Xun? How could there be such a coincidence in this world? He didn't believe it, but he knew that Yuan Yao didn't know about this matter, so it was absolutely impossible for someone to leak it to him in advance.

He looked at Ji Ling with a look of surprise, such an expression was not that he already knew everything, but more like he was crazy about his thoughts, Yuan Jian successfully deceived the two, and said with a look of disbelief that this matter is not child's play, what does the general think?

Wow needs to figure out Ji Ling's thoughts, then you must first know how to execute his plan.

And his words are almost the same as what Zhang Xun said, but the description in the letter is not as shocking as Zhang Xun's dictation, especially under his description, tens of thousands of Xuzhou soldiers will die in the flood, and there is already a terrifying picture in his eyes, and the miserable appearance of floating corpses everywhere makes him cold behind his back.

But this decision will also pay some costs, such as the prosperous Shouchun City may also be hit by floods, the city will become a ruined scene in an instant, and the people will fall into the situation of Zeguo, such a price is too great, although Liu Lan was repelled for a while, but after that, Shouchun also added you to become a grassless town for a long time.

The huge population of the city will be sharply reduced, and after that, because of the flood, the people's lives will become more miserable, and it used to happen in other places in Shouchun, and then it will become normal for Yizi to enjoy food, in order to keep Shouchun to pay such a big price, is it worth it?

Yuan Jian kept torturing his heart, maybe in the eyes of Zhang Xun, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, and even Yuan Shu, these costs were nothing compared to keeping Shouchun, but he couldn't stand it.

This is not dozens of people, hundreds, but tens of thousands, maybe his current mercy is worthless, but if he really lets such a thing happen, then is he still a person? If you don't even have a minimum conscience, what's the difference between it and an animal?

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, whether it is Ji Ling, Zhang Xun or even Yuan Shu, they are all military generals, they don't value anger, after a big battle, the number of dead is at best a set of numbers, as for the people, they don't care.

But Yuan Jian is different, he is not the kind of official who does not eat the fireworks of the world, he does not know the fireworks of the world in the temple, and it is better to manage the suffering of the people, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to these.

That's why he was so surprised by this plan, maybe he should have thought of it before, even if Yuan Shu had something to hide from him, the specific implementation method.

But now when he heard Ji Ling's words about turning Shouchun into Zeguo, he would be so excited, although he also understood that his performance was likely to be regarded as a woman's benevolence, but if even the foundation was destroyed and even the people died, what was the point of leaving Shouchun in an empty city?

He has seen the miserable scenes of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and even Qingzhou without roosters crowing for thousands of miles, can he turn Shouchun into this just for his own rights, and he can ignore the lives of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people?

Yuan Lian's heart shook their madness, but Ji Ling talked and laughed, because he saw the consternation in Yuan Lian's eyes, he knew that his plan had scared him, which made him feel very good.

Because his expression was not a reaction of questioning, but a fear of the consequences, and he was afraid of the literati, who felt that the plan was not feasible or too costly.

It is said that women have long hair and short knowledge, Ji Ling does not agree with this, not that they have short knowledge, but that they are sometimes not ruthless enough, indecisive women's benevolence, for a better result, some sacrifices are inevitable, the so-called big things are not informal, entanglement of these is actually meaningless, compared to the loss of everything now, no matter how big the sacrifice is nothing?

If 100,000 people can be exchanged for Shouchun without losing, he thinks it is cost-effective, there is nothing surprising about this, let alone a big deal, could it be that Shouchun is broken, they will be able to live? In the end, it was not the death of the war or even the famine after the war.

These words sounded appalling, but Yuan Jian knew that the person who said it didn't take it seriously at all, and whether this matter was successful or not, it would be put into action, as for him, he couldn't reverse such a result at all, unless he didn't come to Shouchun, but according to the current development, this was simply impossible.

He knew that Ji Ling's current attention was the last fight, and if he succeeded, everything would be written off before that, so he had to tell Yuan Shu his suggestion no matter what.

And what Yuan Jian was thinking about at this time was another thing, and he thought about how to avoid such a human tragedy.

But until now, he doesn't have a very good way, it's too difficult, in the face of Ji Ling, Ji Ling has to give Yuan Shu an explanation anyway, it's too difficult for him to change his plan, not to mention that even if Ji Ling doesn't say it, Yuan Shu will also execute it, so what needs to be changed now is not within Shouchun, but also Xuzhou.

At this moment, he thought of his old friend Liu Lan!
