The back house of the Yuan family is located in a very quiet room.

Yuan Shu, who was shackled, sat in the room, and Yuan Shao sat across from him.

On the low table between the two of them, there were white silk, medicinal wine, and sharp knives.

"After all, we are brothers, and to be honest, I can't bear to send you to Xudu." Yuan Shao sighed and said to Yuan Shu: "These three things on the table are the only ones I can help you." ”

Yuan Shu's face was like ashes, and he didn't say anything.

"Highway, people live in the world, after all, they have to pay the price for what they have done." Yuan Shao continued: "On the day you became emperor, you had already pushed yourself onto a point of no return. ”

"You don't have to say it." Yuan Shu said hopelessly: "I am already grateful to be able to do this for me. ”

"If you don't have a good choice, I'll choose it for you." Pouring a glass of wine for Yuan Shu with his own hands, Yuan Shao said: "At least you can go faster, and you don't have to be so uncomfortable." ”

"As long as it's death, it's not comfortable." Yuan Shu said: "We can't remember whether we were in pain when we were born, but when we die, we will have a very clear feeling. ”

"It is said that drinking poisoned wine will cause unbearable abdominal pain." Yuan Shao said: "Endure it and it will be over." ”

"Primordial!" Yuan Shu raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao and said: "I am a person who is about to die, and if you have something to say, you should pay more attention to it if you want to take it to heart, and if you don't want to take it to heart, you will laugh at it." ”

"If you have something to say on the road, just say it." Yuan Shao said.

"Be careful of your good son-in-law, be careful of the Cao family." Yuan Shu said: "Cao Cao marched into Xuzhou, and now he has Hanoi and Hedong, which is not comparable to the past. Cao Zirong is entrenched in Huainan, and it won't be long before he can occupy the Lujiang River. Once he's full-fledged, it's not certain that you'll be able to control this woman. ”

"It is said that Zirong captured you?" Yuan Shao asked, "Can you tell me the details?" ”

"Cao Zirong broke through Xiapi, and then went to Shouchun." Yuan Shu said: "He didn't attack the city immediately, but found some family members and soldiers of our army, and shouted outside the city all day long. After a long time, the soldiers defending the city were absent, and Shouchun was actually opened by his own people. ”

"And such a thing?" Yuan Shao's brows furrowed slightly.

He had also received a rumor before, saying that Cao Shuo's soldiers had captured Shouchun without blood, but when the words came out of Yuan Shu's mouth, the shock they brought to him was still not small.

"I was going to send the heirloom jade seal to Hebei." Yuan Shu continued: "However, it was melted by Cao Zi. ”

"Did he give the jade seal to Cao Mengde?" Yuan Shao asked.

"As far as I know, not." Yuan Shu replied.

"Does he want to embrace the jade seal of the country and be the emperor like you?" Yuan Shao asked again.

"I don't think so!" Yuan Shu shook his head: "Cao Zirong has never shown his intention to be the emperor, he may want to bring the jade seal back to Xu Du and hand it over to His Majesty in Cao Cao's hands." ”

Looking at Yuan Shao's eyes, Yuan Shu said: "If the emperor gets the jade seal of the country, the decree passed on is more grounded, and the heroes in the world have to listen to it if they don't listen to it, otherwise it will be a big rebellion." Cao Cao had this chess piece, originally thought that he would still put Hebei in his eyes? Will Hebei be allowed to become bigger? ”

"Cao Cao has only tens of thousands of people under his command." Yuan Shao said: "My Hebei army has hundreds of thousands......

"Hundreds of thousands!" Yuan Shu laughed and said to Yuan Shao: "I was talking nonsense in front of others, is it possible that I want to talk nonsense?" ”

"When am I talking nonsense?" Yuan Shao asked with an unhappy face.

"The Hebei army is only 300,000, and excluding those assigned to various places, there are only less than 200,000 people who can be mobilized at the beginning." Yuan Shu said: "The so-called hundreds of thousands of troops are just deceptive words. ”

was told by Yuan Shu that the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized, Yuan Shao's face was a little ugly.

"Again." Yuan Shu picked up the wine glass and brought it to his lips: "Beware of the Cao family, you will have a battle with Cao Mengde sooner or later!" ”

After saying this, Yuan Shu tilted his neck and drank the wine.

"Is there anything else to say about the highway?" Seeing that he had drunk, Yuan Shao asked.

Yuan Shu didn't say anything, just waved his hand silently.

Yuan Shao stood up, turned around and walked out of the room.

When I got to the door, I was waiting for the trial and Feng Ji who were waiting outside.

"Yuan Gong, what's the matter?" The judge asked.

"If you drink poisoned wine, it won't take long for you to have an attack." Yuan Shao said: "In the past, I was at odds with the road, and we had attacks on each other, but now he is going to die, but I don't feel good in my heart." ”

"Yuan Gong has done his best!" Feng Ji said: "I got the battle report just now, the eldest son and the second son have already broken through the outer city of Yijing, and it won't take long to break through Yijing, and Gongsun Chan has not much time." ”

"The opponent who has been fighting for many years is about to be gone." Yuan Shao said: "Now my brother will also die here, I really don't know what's going on recently!" ”

"Go back and pass the order, order all the soldiers and horses, I will rush to Yijing in person and destroy the Gongsun family!" Yuan Shao instructed the two of them.

The trial and Feng Ji hurriedly responded.

In just a moment, Yuan Shu's painful wails came from the room.

From his shouting, Yuan Shao and the others could hear that he was suffering from poisonous wine.

"It would be nice if there was a poison in the world that could make people die instantly." Yuan Shao sighed and said.

If Cao Shuo was in front of him at this time, he would definitely tell him that there is not only a poison in the world that can make people die instantly, but this era has not yet been developed.

The movement in the room became smaller and smaller, and at last there was silence, and there was no more life.

"Do you want Yuan Gong to go in and have a look?" The judge asked cautiously.

"Forget it!" Yuan Shao said: "Seeing it is just to increase the sadness, let people build a tomb for the highway and bury him." ”

"Do you want to be buried according to the rites of the Three Princes?" Feng Ji also asked on the side.

"He is not the third duke, but a traitor and a rebellious son, how can he be buried with the rites of the third duke?" Yuan Shao said: "A thin coffin, a straw mat, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury it hastily is worthy of him!" ”

The trial and the discipline responded again.

After Yuan Shao gave these orders, he left under the escort of several guards.

Feng Ji and Juan Pei glanced at each other, and the two entered the house one after another.

The low table placed in the room was kicked to the ground, and Yuan Shu curled up and fell to the ground, it could be seen from his curled body and blue purple face that he had suffered a lot before he died.

"Someone!" The judge shouted outside the house.

A guard enters the house.

The judge said: "Pass on Yuan's decree, choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, a thin coffin and a straw mat, and bury Yuan Highway!" ”

Yuan Shao executed Yuan Shu in Hebei, and Cao Shuo, who set out from Huainan, also came to the outside of Xudu at this time.

Looking at the familiar city wall of Xudu, Cao Shuo knew that when he left again, there would not be too many opportunities to return here!
