If the ancestors of the Yuan family were knowledgeable, they would definitely be able to make Yuan Xi angry...... No, it should be Yuan Xi's son Yuan Shao who jumped out of the grave in anger and strangled this unfilial descendant.

A good hand of cards is called Yuan Shao's father and son to play sparsely. The famous family of the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, there are only a handful of people in the entire Han Dynasty who can be compared with the Yuan family in terms of family lineage.

It is precisely because of this that seeking to usurp the throne has always been a high-risk and high-reward matter. If it becomes the world, I have it, and if it doesn't work, it is the head moves. The Yuan family was not very lucky, and the final result of several generations of hard work was a poor loser.

No one sympathizes with the Yuan family today. This is what the world is, and since you have done it, you must have the consciousness to pay the price for it. There are not many good things in this world, so how can you just run into it, you are the illegitimate son of God?

With the defeat of Yuan's army, the sky in Hebei changed. The magistrates who were originally appointed by Yuan Xi changed their ways, announced that they had drawn a line with the Yuan family, and expressed their willingness to accept the leadership of the imperial court. However, the court is not what it used to be, and it is no longer as hungry as in the past, even if the Yuan ministers in Hebei have the heart to take refuge, they must first see if their buttocks are clean, and the fish and meat people are not only not accepted by the court, but also contribute their own six and a half catties as a sharp weapon for the court to pacify the place.

In fact, there are not many ordinary people who care about national affairs. Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, these things are what the people are most concerned about. The reason why some people began to care about the country was, to put it bluntly, idle. Of course, this is also an indirect testament to the capacity of state institutions. If you don't have the ability, the hungry people would have rebelled a long time ago, and you can still be allowed to squat on your head and be powerful?

Killing corrupt officials has always been the best choice to win the hearts and minds of the people. Corrupt officials are not treated well by the people, and killing them can make the people feel that this court is on their side, and if they are bullied in the future, they will uphold justice for him.

The second is that the biggest reason why corrupt officials and corrupt officials are hated is that these guys put a lot of money that does not belong to them into their own pockets, and they are insatiable, and they want to be greedy when they are greedy, and in the end, they all cheapen the court. When Hebei was recovered for statistics, the goods obtained by the imperial court by copying the homes of corrupt officials were equal to the goods obtained by the Han army from the treasury of various places, so that Liu Xie, who learned about this, couldn't help but sigh that the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family was really not in vain, and he could still hold on to this day by so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials lying on his stomach and sucking blood.

Of course, the most unfortunate are ordinary people, who are the ultimate victims of layers of exploitation, and all the burdens arising from the process of exploitation are all pressed on them.

The imperial court's liquidation of Hebei officials made these oppressed but helpless people applaud, and the powerful military power of the Han Dynasty also made the insecure people accept their new identities in the shortest possible time...... It should be said that the wanderer has returned home, and he hasn't seen him for a long time.

The general trend of Hebei Yuan has gone. Although Yuan Xi and Tian Feng were still fighting the trapped beasts in Yecheng at this time, anyone with a little brain could see that the Yuan family was already yesterday's yellow flower, and there was not much time left before it completely withered.

Yuan Xi also knew that his time was running out, and he didn't resent Zhang Jaw's last betrayal, but he regretted that he shouldn't have wronged this love general in order to take care of the overall situation, causing this love general to finally part ways with him.

And Tian Feng did not have the previous self-confidence at this time, and silently worked with the trial to strengthen the city defense of Yecheng, waiting for the arrival of the final moment of his life.

Liu Xie didn't understand the actions of Yuan Xi, Tian Feng and others at the beginning, or Jia Xu was old and sophisticated, and guessed the thoughts of Yuan Xi and others.

The general trend has gone, since you can't see the Yuan family change the dynasty, then as an old minister of the Yuan family, it is also the duty to witness the end of the Yuan family.

Regarding Jia Xu's speculation, Liu Xie was suspicious, of course, this did not affect Liu Xie's order to speed up the siege of the city and seize the land, and recover the entire territory of Hebei.

Regarding what happened outside Yecheng, Yuan Xi and others in Yecheng were indifferent. In order to shake the hearts of the people in Yecheng, Liu Xie would order people to shoot the latest news into the city every once in a while, but the reaction of Yuan Xi and others was disappointing.

There was no superfluous reaction, just a sign that he knew about it and then disappeared. This made Liu Xie have to believe that Jia Xu's previous guess was true.

Since Yuan Xi, Tian Feng and others planned to be martyred for the Yuan family, Liu Xie naturally had no need to stop it. Because people who really want to die can't be stopped at all. The fragility of life is unimaginable, and you can choke to death by drinking cold water, let alone bent on death. In the future, few of those who want to jump down from high-rise buildings actually plan to jump down, and most people just want to use this as a means to achieve their own goals. Of course, there are some who really can't think about it, but that is only a minority, and most of them are still the former who are looking for death and life.

But Yuan Xi and the others in Yecheng were in the latter state of mind at this time. And Liu Xie is no longer the embarrassing period when no one was available, Tian Feng, although he is the best among the ministers of Hebei, but if he is put under Liu Xie's command for comparison, it is not that there is no replacement. Since Tian Feng and Xianbei were worried that Yuan Xi would be alone on Huangquan Road, it would be okay for Liu Xie to fulfill them.

In order to be a good person to the end, Liu Xie specially ordered Yuan Shang, who had already fallen into his hands, and Yuan Tan, who had just returned to the imperial court with Guo Tu, to Yecheng, so that the three brothers could see each other for the last time.

The reunion of the three brothers in this situation makes people secretly vigilant, reminding themselves that the family can only prosper, and the discord between the heirs is the biggest inducement for the family's demise.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but be a little excited when he saw his eldest brother and third brother. You must know that Yuan Xi is already a person who is about to die, and being able to see his fellow brothers before he dies makes Yuan Xi very content.

"If I had inherited the Yuan family at the beginning, the Yuan family would not have ended up in the land it is today." The three brothers reunited, and Yuan Tan took the lead in saying to Yuan Xi unwillingly.

"Maybe it's true that as the eldest brother said, it is better for the Yuan family to hand it over to you than to hand it over to me. Big brother, the house arrest in the past few years is not the younger brother's, and I hope that the big brother has a lot of them, so don't worry about the younger brother. Yuan Xi did not refute, not only admitted that what Yuan Tan said was good, but also raised his glass and gave Yuan Tan a glass of reparation.

It is difficult to beat the smiling face with a fist, Yuan Xi's non-argument made Yuan Tan a little embarrassed, the Yuan family is already like this now, what is the point of saying anything.

"Big brother, second brother, it's rare for you and my brother to sit together so calmly as now, in order to commemorate this rare moment, why not have a drink together." Yuan Shang suddenly raised his glass at this time to relieve Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shang's actions surprised Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who knew his temperament well, and even suspected that the Yuan Shang in front of him was impersonated by Liu Xie. You must know that Yuan Shang relied on Yuan Shao's favor back then, and he never treated his two brothers politely.

"Why do the two brothers look at the younger brother like this? The younger brother knew that he relied on his father's favor back then, and he usually gave the two brothers a lot of anger. But people will always change, and I hope that the two brothers can read the little brother who was ignorant back then, and don't worry about the younger brother. The younger brother is here to accompany the two brothers, and he will do it first as a respect. After Yuan Shang finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup, and then rushed to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to light the bottom of his cup.

Seeing that Yuan Shang was doing it as a respect, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi also raised their glasses and drank them all, and the three of them looked at the bottom of the other people's cups and couldn't help but smile at each other. After meeting each other with a smile and enmity, the three brothers of the Yuan family finally knew that they were united, but it was too late. However, for them, it is rare for the brothers to be able to release their previous suspicions, and nothing else matters.

"Second brother, the current saint is not a tyrannical king, you don't actually need to die, as long as you ......"

"Third brother, your kindness, second brother understands." Yuan Xi interrupted Yuan Shang's words and said, "Second brother believes that as long as I am willing to go out of the city and surrender, the Holy Lord will give me a way to live." But the second brother can't do that. ”

"Why? Could it be Tian Feng, who is trying to blackmail the second brother? Yuan Shang hurriedly asked. Yuan Tan next to him also looked at Yuan Xi.

"What do you think? Third brother, Tian Feng and Juan are the last loyal ministers of my Yuan family, you suspect that they shouldn't be. Yuan Xi said that in the end, he educated Yuan Shangdao.

"Since it has nothing to do with the two of them, why do you have to beg for death?" Yuan Shang asked with a puzzled expression.

Yuan Xi didn't care about Yuan Shang's cleverness in changing the topic, and replied: "I didn't die for myself, but to give an explanation to those who are not afraid of life and death for the great cause of my Yuan family." Now that the great cause of the Yuan family has no possibility of being realized, as the current head of the Yuan family, how can he make a living at this time. ”

Yuan Xi's words were categorical and could not be changed. Although Yuan Shang had the heart to persuade him, he couldn't think of a suitable rhetoric for a while, so he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the eldest brother Yuan Tan on the side. And Yuan Tan didn't disappoint Yuan Shang, and asked Yuan Xi slowly: "Second brother, the eldest brother is the father, now that your eldest brother and I are still here, what qualifications do you have to accept the position of the head of the family?" ”

"That's right, second brother, my father spoiled me the most when he was alive, and when he was dying, he made me his heir, why are you competing with me for the position of the head of the Yuan family?" Yuan Shang was not to be outdone and questioned Yuan Xidao.

“…… If you and my brother could be like this back then, why would the Yuan family be where they are today. Faced with the questioning of the two brothers, Yuan Xi said with emotion.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, who were waiting for Yuan Xi to answer, had red eyes, and Yuan Shang's voice was a little choked, "Second brother, ......"

Seeing this, Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and comforted Yuan Shangdao: "Third brother doesn't have to be like this, people will die in the end, only sooner or later." And the key is to see if the death is worth it. ”

"Second Brother ......"

"Brother, don't fight with the younger brother, this is the position of the head of the Yuan family, the younger brother has been doing it for the longest time, and now the children of the Yuan family need to come forward, and the younger brother is the one who will not let it go."

“…… Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Yuan Tan sighed, ignoring Yuan Shang's surprised and angry gaze, and asked Yuan Xidao.

"I miss my brother's understanding." Yuan Xi thanked Yuan Tan and continued: "If you want to say regret, there are naturally some things, but there are only two things that make me regret the most. First, he lived up to Tian Feng's expectations, in order to let my piece of mud go on the wall, he didn't even want his own reputation. But I still can't hold up the wall. Speaking of this, Yuan Xi's face was filled with deep self-blame.

"Second brother, destiny is hard to disobey, you and Mr. Tian have done their best." Yuan Shang comforted when he saw this.

Yuan Xi smiled when he heard this, wiped the corners of his eyes, and continued: "The second is that I am sorry for General Zhangjaw's trust, in order to let those Karasuma people work for me, I made my own generals feel cold. Big brother, if you can see General Zhang Jaw in the future, please convey my apologies on your behalf. ”

"Second brother, General Zhangjaw ......" Yuan Tan originally wanted to tell Yuan Xi that it would not be difficult to see Zhangjaw, because Zhangjaw was currently in the Han army camp outside the city.

Zhang Jaw is the last famous general in Hebei, and his submission means that no one in Hebei can resist the Han army. Knowing that Zhang Jaw was willing to surrender, Liu Xie was overjoyed. It is not only that the submission of the open jaw can more effectively disintegrate the will of the Yuan clan in Hebei to resist, but also because of Liu Xie's celebrity collecting habit that everyone who crosses the road basically has.

As a general who could make Zhuge Liang feel jealous in the middle and late stages of Cao Wei, Zhang Jaw, one of the five good generals, is undoubtedly a model of late bloomer. And his death in battle was even more controversial in later generations, some say that it was because he underestimated the enemy's rash advance, which led to Zhuge Liang's ambush. There is also a theory that Sima Yi, the commander of the Wei army at that time, used Zhuge Liang's hand to eliminate dissidents and forced Zhang Jaw to pursue the Shu army.

The official university crushed people to death! Even though Zhang Jaw had already sensed that something was wrong and found various reasons to shirk it, in the end, it was difficult to disobey the order, and he had to lead his troops to pursue, but when he came back, he was lying down and was carried back, covered with corpses full of arrows.

As soon as Zhang Jaw died, the Sima family of Wei was dominant, and there was no check and balance.

Treating Zhang Jaw, Liu Xie also showed the greatest sincerity, just being able to lead an army alone aroused dissatisfaction in the army.

In the Han army, there are not many people who can lead an army alone, but all of them are generals in the army and have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. Although Zhang Jaw can also be regarded as a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, he is just a newcomer, and he has not made an inch, so how can he be qualified to lead an army alone.

The military is conservative and the most senior. In order to appease the army's dissatisfaction with Zhang Jaw, Liu Xie specially transferred Zhang Jaw to Yecheng, hoping that Zhang Jaw could prove himself through practical actions.

However, Zhang Jaw didn't seem to be very grateful for Liu Xie's kindness, and it wasn't until Yuan Tan came out of Yecheng and relayed Yuan Xi's words to Zhang Jaw in front of Liu Xie, and Zhang Jaw's attitude towards Liu Xie improved, only because Liu Xie told Zhang Jaw that he took Yecheng and the prisoners were all realized by Zhang Jaw. This means that Liu Xie handed over the power of life and death to Yuan Xi to Zhang Jaw, and if Zhang Jaw wanted Yuan Xi to die, Yuan Xi would die, but if Zhang Jaw chose to let Yuan Xi live, Liu Xie would not pursue it afterwards.

After listening to Yuan Tan's apology about Yuan Xi, Zhang Jaw had already forgiven Yuan Xi. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang didn't want to watch Yuan Xi beg for death, but Yuan Xi was stubborn and difficult to convince, and Liu Xie's kindness to Zhang Jaw made Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang saw a glimmer of hope. The two looked nervously at Zhang Jaw, lest they hear Zhang Jaw's words of evasion.

"The last general commands." Zhang Jaw finally said the answer that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang wanted to hear, and couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Zhang Jaw.

……

"Father, the child wants to be a pioneer." Zhang Xiong loudly asked Zhang Jaw to fight.

"No need, my father will personally go on the first day today, and you will lead the troops to cheer for you." Zhang Jaw did not hesitate to reject Zhang Xiong's invitation. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhang Xiong's mind has already seen through it, this kid is just worried that he will miss the old feelings, and after catching Yuan Xi, he will let him live, so he plans to solve Yuan Xi first.

“…… Father, how can the commander of the first army take the risk himself, let the child go. Zhang Xiong, who was unwilling, once again tried to ask for battle.

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more. Zhang Xiong, you stay in this formation, you must not leave without permission, and those who violate the order will be killed! Zhang Jaw stared at Zhang Xiong and shouted.

But all famous generals are inseparable from the eight words of strict military discipline and loving soldiers like sons. Zhang Jaw is strict in governing the army, even if his own son Zhang Xiong makes a mistake with others, he will not beat Zhang Xiong for thirty-nine boards if he beats others for forty boards. Zhang Xiong, who knew his father's temperament, didn't dare to ask for war again, and he didn't want to see his father provoke the dissatisfaction of today's saints because he let Yuan Xi live, so he had to persuade him stubbornly: "Father, this battle is related to my Zhang family in the future, don't be careless." ”

"......" Zhang Jaw glanced at Zhang Xiong deeply when he heard this, and did not speak, but he was already so frightened that Zhang Xiong fell to the ground with a thud, and heard Zhang Jaw say coldly in his ear: "Since you are worried that being a father will affect you, then from today on, you and I will cut off the ...... father and son."

"Slow, slow down, ......" Before Zhang Jaw finished speaking, Liu Xie's voice came from outside the tent. Liu Xie walked in with a smile and saw Zhang Xiong kneeling on the ground, and Zhang Jaw looked angry, "Isn't it time for me to come?" Why don't you come back later? ”

Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Zhang Jaw was also shocked, and hurriedly saluted: "The Holy Lord's words are serious, this is also the Han Army Tent, and it is okay for the Holy Lord to come whenever he comes." ”

"Huh...... What's going on? Face-to-face training? Liu Xie smiled noncommittally, and asked Zhang Xiong, who was kneeling on the ground.

"The saint said that the last general was just educating him on the morality that a person should keep."

"Oh, I see, I wonder if you've trained it?"

"Uh...... I don't know what the Holy One means by asking? ”

"Huh...... Actually, it's nothing. I have long heard that there is an elite Euphorbia under your command, Ling Lang is your eldest son, and I intend to build a new Euphorbia Battalion in the pro-army, I don't know if you are willing to cut your love? Liu Xie smiled and told Zhang Jaw what he meant.

"The inferior son is reckless by nature, and he is only afraid of colliding with the Holy ......"

"Alas~ Jun Yi's words are too modest, no matter how vulgar Ling Lang is, can he still be stronger than the vulture bones from the Southern Barbarians? Don't worry, no one will bully Ling Lang after he arrives at the Son of Heaven's army. ”

"Hmm...... This matter still depends on the dog's own wishes. Seeing that Liu Xie's important person was resolute, Zhang Jaw had no choice but to hand over the decision to Zhang Xiong himself.

"The child willing." Before Zhang Jaw's words fell, he heard that Zhang Xiong had already replied loudly, but he didn't see Zhang Jaw's eyes glaring.

"Junyi, when the child grows up, he will let him fly by himself, always tied to the belt, when can he be alone? Zhang Xiong......"

"The end will be."

"Kneel down at your father." Zhang Xiong was really obedient at this time, and as soon as Liu Xie's voice fell, he saw that Zhang Xiong was already kneeling in front of Zhang Jaw.

"Holy Lord, what does this mean?" Zhang Jaw asked puzzled.

"I've never seen a military general's godson, it's rare to see it today, I want to see how you teach your son."

Jaw open: "......"
