Chapter 26: The frustration of jumping into the pit
Twelve vermilion columns support the massive vestibule.
The hall is flanked by four rows of low tables.
When Yuan Xu arrived, most of the guests were already seated.
Seeing him coming, Yuan Shao didn't mean to be very close.
On the contrary, it was the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang who got up to greet them.
Some of the guests here also understood the temperament of the two of them.
has always been arrogant, and it is impossible to put the concubine in his eyes, but Yuan Xu came but left the table to greet him, which made many people puzzled.
Except for Xin Bi, Guan Tong and other people who are familiar with the inside story, everyone else is speculating.
When will the concubine be able to work, and the two sisters-in-law will leave the table to greet them?
Yuan Tan was also about to get up to greet him, but Xin Bi glanced at him.
Seeing Simbi's eyes, he didn't stand up.
Seeing Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang greeting Yuan Xu, Yuan Shao's brows furrowed slightly.
Since the frown is so small, most people don't notice it.
Only one person noticed that Yuan Shao's expression was wrong, because he entered the hall by beating himself, and his attention always stayed on Yuan Shao.
This person is none other than Guo Tu, who had argued with Yuan Xu.
Breaking through Yi Jing, knowing that Yuan Xu's guess was correct, Yuan Tan was somewhat estranged from Guo Tu.
If you want to say something bad about Yuan Xu, Yuan Tan will definitely not believe it, what Guo Tu is waiting for is that Yuan Shao came to Yijing.
has made great contributions to the Yuan family, and he can't even rectify a few concubines, and he won't have to mess around in Hebei officialdom in the future!
"Princess!" Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang placed Yuan Xu to sit down, and after they each sat down, Yuan Shao said to everyone: "Xiansi led the army to defeat Yi Jing, Gongsun Zhan**, and the fight with the old man is finally over!" ”
"Congratulations to Yuan Gong, congratulations to Yuan Gong!" Everyone got up one after another and saluted Yuan Shao to congratulate him.
With a smile on his face, he pressed his hand twice, and Yuan Shao said: "Pacifying Youzhou, my Hebei territory is more vast, but it will take a lot of effort in the future......"
His gaze turned to Yuan Tan, and there was a flash of hesitation before he said: "There is a certain town in Jizhou and other places, and a certain person who is concerned is nothing more than Qingyou Erzhou......"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yuan Shao, waiting for him to continue.
Qingzhou is located in the east, adjacent to the sea, and has the advantage of salt goods!
Sitting in Qingzhou, it is more convenient to travel to and from the currency, and Jizhou and other places can also get many benefits from it.
Youzhou is located in the north, cutting off the Hu people from the mainland.
When the northern Yidi enters the Central Plains, it must pass through here, which is a natural barrier in the Hebei area.
The two strategic locations are critical, and Yuan Shao's intervention is of course to send the most trusted person!
For him, the most credible is naturally his son!
"Xianyi!" first looked at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shao greeted.
Standing in the middle of the hall, Yuan Xi bowed down and said, "The child is here, please ask my father to command!" ”
"Qingzhou...... There is Liu Bei in the south and Cao Cao in the southwest. Twisting his chin, Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "Liu Bei is from a humble background, but it doesn't matter. It's just that Cao Cao has a strong army, and you haven't gone through too many battlefields, so it's probably difficult to deal with. How about the father's surrender of Youzhou to you for moderation? ”
Youzhou is bitterly cold, and Yuan Xi is 10,000 reluctant.
However, Yuan Shao had already spoken, that is, he had already thought about it.
Even if he was unwilling, Yuan Xi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to respond: "The child obeys his father's order!" ”
Nodding, Yuan Shao's gaze wandered on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's faces again.
Sitting in the corner and looking at Yuan Shao, Yuan Xu laughed in his heart.
He had already made a decision, but he had to put on a hesitant posture, and his father was really hypocritical sometimes!
"Xianfu!" When Yuan Shao spoke, Yuan Xu was taken aback.
He remembered that all the history recorded in the materials was that Yuan Tan was sent to Qingzhou.
Qingzhou is connected to the sea in the east, and deliberately approached Yuan Tan, in order to have the opportunity to go there, even if the Yuan family is defeated in the future, leaning on the seaside, he can find a nearby island to hide.
But Yuan Shao called Yuan Shang's name.
Yuan Xu blinked his eyes twice, looking dazed!
If Yuan Shaozhen let Yuan Shang go to Qingzhou, wouldn't he be blind for so long of hard work?
Zheng looked at Yuan Shao in amazement, only to hear him continue: "Xianfu is still young, and his battlefield experience is not enough compared to Xianyi!" In a few days, you will return to Yecheng with your father......"
"Thank you, father!" Knowing that he was not allowed to go to Qingzhou, Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to thank him.
"Yuan Gong!" Yuan Shao's voice fell, and a person stood up on the left.
The man was in his early fifties, his hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled.
When he came to Yijing, he had always been in Yuan Tan's army, and Yuan Xu didn't recognize him.
From this person who dared to stand up and try to refute Yuan Shao, he could see that this person's status in front of Yuan Shao would definitely not be too low.
"The public has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Yuan Shao really couldn't let this person shut up, so he had to show a generous appearance and ask him to speak!
"Duke Yuan takes the third prince back to Yecheng, and Qingzhou must be led by another son, is it because he wants the eldest son to go?"
It was none other than Yuan Shao's strategists who got up.
Frustrated and upright, he often comes forward when he encounters things that he can't see.
He also made a lot of suggestions to Yuan Shao, but for some reason, even if the strategies he offered were feasible, most of them would be vetoed by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao summoned the words of the frustration table, and Yuan Xu immediately knew his identity.
I also know some things about frustration, and Yuan Xu is much more sympathetic to him.
As a strategist, he gave advice all his life, but most of them were not adopted.
What this strategist did was also extremely miserable!
"So-and-so was wondering who was going to go. The words of the public and the seat gave a certain wake-up call! ”
Yuan Shao showed a smile: "Since it is a public proposal, then I will think about going to Qingzhou!" ”
found that Yuan Shao had the intention to let Yuan Tan go to Qingzhou, and his original intention was to stop him.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao actually used his words to really assign Yuan Tan to Qingzhou!
"Yuan Gong, by all means!"
Taken aback, he hurriedly said: "The eldest son is the son of the Yuan family, and he should stay by Yuan Gong's side......"
Yuan Shao is only in his forties, and he is in the prime of life, and what he is most tired of is that someone participates in the establishment of the reserve.
Although the words were not clear, the intention was very clear.
Frowning, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan and asked, "Xiansi, are you willing to go to Qingzhou?" ”
Knowing that Yuan Tan was going to Qingzhou, Yuan Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yuan family will be defeated sooner or later, and it doesn't make a difference to him who is the head of the family!
All he wanted was a chance, a chance to live more!
was directly questioned by Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan's face was extremely bad, but he didn't dare to be disobedient in front of everyone, so he had to get up and say: "Where does the father want the child to go, the child will go!" ”
Yuan Tan said helplessly, but Yuan Shao was very satisfied, looked at Fu Zhu and said: "Gong and sit widely, Xiansi is already willing to go, and it is useless to talk more!" ”
