Yuan Tan's sword suddenly sank into Xin Ping's chest, and Yuan Tan couldn't even react a little, after all, he didn't intend to kill Xin Ping when he stabbed him, and the relationship between the two was already a teacher and a friend after all.

As Xin Ping fell, Xin Bi screamed in shock: "Big brother! ”

Yuan Tan was a little at a loss and muttered to himself, "Why don't you hide, why?" I don't want to kill you, I don't! ”

Xin Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Eldest son, since my younger brother has become a second minister, then it is nothing for me to lose my life as an elder brother, even if I want my Xin family to be buried together, Xin Ping will never dare to say anything." Oh, that's sad! I also hope that the prince can focus on the great cause, and the Yuan family still has many loyal ministers, as long as the prince can contact them, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future, and his subordinates can no longer serve the eldest prince! ”

When Xin Bi heard this, he knelt down in remorse, and Yuan Tan realized at this time that Xin Bi was the only one who betrayed.

"Yuan Tan killed my brother, please don't let him go no matter what!" Xin Bi pleaded with Liu Bei in pain.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "It is unkind to kill his son for a minister; Bullying the weak with the strong is also unjust! Such an unkind and unjust thing, Liu Bei will definitely not do. Yuan Tan, if you want to leave today, you can, but you need to send a letter to give way to the world, and you are willing to give up the position of King of Wei to Liu Bei, then you can leave freely today. Otherwise, Hugh blames Liu Bei for not being able to let the tiger return to the mountain! ”

Tian Feng also looked at Yuan Tan very anxiously at this time, he hoped that Yuan Tan would not be impulsive, Liu Bei could make such a concession It was already very unacceptable. Yuan Tan looked at the people around him, laughed bitterly, and said to himself: "Okay! Since my Yuan family no longer has loyal ministers, then I don't need to work hard to support it, and this throne will be given to you Liu Bei! ”

Although Yuan Tan was reluctant in his heart, Xin Ping's words before he died still touched him, if he lost his life, then there was really nothing, but as long as he saved a life, then everything still had a chance.

"Those who know the times are Junjie, and the eldest prince is really a person who understands!"

After Yuan Tan ceded the throne of King Wei to Liu Bei, he took a few courtiers in the city and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were Yuan Shao's former ministers, including Huang Zicheng, who was born before and was engaged in Huang Xiang. After all, most of the people in the entire Yecheng are already Liu Bei's people, and they are willing to follow Yuan Tan at this time, so they are really loyal servants of the Yuan family.

At this time, Yuan Tan came to the outside of the city, saw the people following behind him, and shouted: "In the land of Hebei, there is no shortage of loyal people!" Today, you are willing to leave with me, and from then on, you will be my brother Yuan Tan! In the future, if there is my Yuan Tan's food and drink, there will be your food and drink! ”

"I'm willing to die for the eldest prince!" Some shouted, and the others shouted.

At this time, Huang Zicheng walked over and said to Yuan Tan: "Eldest son, now Liu Bei Xiaoer has bought a lot of people, although he has promised to let Gongzi go, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, I should leave quickly!" ”

Yuan Tan nodded and asked, "Huang Zhen, where should I go now?" ”

Huang Zicheng seemed to have already thought about it, and replied: "Now Qingzhou and Jizhou are mostly Liu Bei's forces, although Gongzi is the assassin of Youzhou, although Youzhou is the residence of Gongzi, but when the first king was alive, he did not give all the rights to Gongzi, and now his subordinates have already heard that Liu Bei has taken advantage of the convenience, and once let Wei Zheng and others secretly contact many squires in Youzhou, and now Youzhou must also be in Liu Bei's hands." So the only place for Childe to go is to merge with the state. As long as he arrives in Bingzhou and secretly contacts the old Yuan family, it will be easy for him to make a comeback. ”

Hearing Huang Zicheng's words, Yuan Tan thought about it, and then asked: "Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chai Rong and other generals, now they have about 20,000 troops, and now they are stationed fifty miles away from here, I want to recruit them first, what does Huang Zhi think?" ”

Huang Zicheng shook his head again and again, "Zhang He and other generals may not be loyal and righteous, otherwise they would not lead the army out of the city at this time, leave the son, and ignore the Yuan family's foundation!" Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was better for the son to write a letter and hand it to the subordinates, and the subordinates would go to Zhang He's army in person, if they were really loyal and good generals, they would inevitably come to hear about it, otherwise the son would go by himself, and he would be in danger, and he hoped that the son would take the great cause first! ”

Yuan Tan looked at Huang Zicheng in disbelief, "That Zhang Gaolan was originally my Hebei Siting Pillar, and they were all my father's ministers of the humerus, but they didn't want to see my brothers kill each other, so they led the troops to leave, they shouldn't betray my Yuan family, right?" ”

"If they are really loyal, then it is naturally good, but in troubled times, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable!"

At this moment, I saw a soldier and horse coming from a distance, and the army was full of filial piety, Yuan Tan was shocked, and thought that there was a chasing soldier arrived, but when the soldiers and horses got closer, there was a word Yuan on the banner, Yuan Tan was overjoyed: "It must be the second brother who is here!" ”

Yuan Tan guessed correctly, the person who came was Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses, Yuan Xi heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, and immediately set off from Zhongshan and rushed to Yecheng, and only now did he rush over.

Yuan Xi wore linen and filial piety, turned over and dismounted, and came to Yuan Tan, he didn't understand why Yuan Tan was outside the city.

"Big brother, what's going on! Father, how could Father be assassinated? ”

At this time, Yuan Xi still didn't know anything, and when he heard that Yuan Shang had died in the chaos and Liu Bei had snatched the throne of the King of Wei, he looked at Yuan Tan with an incredulous expression and said, "How could Xuande Gong do such a thing?" Big brother, you can't be mistaken, right? ”

Yuan Tan shouted: "Second brother! Are you still so ignorant? Now Yecheng is Liu Bei's, even Youzhou is in Liu Bei's hands, and now you and my brother can only work together to restore my Yuan family's foundation, what does the second brother think? ”

At this time, Yuan Xi seemed to be frightened, and shook his head again and again: "Xuande Gong has such strength now, where can I fight against him?" Big brother, I advise you to give up! It's better to be like this, safe and easy! ”

Hearing Yuan Xi's spineless words, Yuan Tan was already so angry that he wanted to beat him, but he knew that Yuan Xi's character was so cowardly, it was useless to say anything.

"Okay, you be your carefree child, and I'll go and get back my Yuan family's things! We're different! ”

Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Tan so resolutely, sighed and said, "We are different, big brother, you can do it yourself!" The little brother just wants to be stable for a lifetime, so he said goodbye! ”
