Yecheng, Yuan Shaomo held the bronze lord in his hand, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info//Update fast//[~]His uneasiness seemed to be an ominous aura permeating the entire hall, and even his favorite son Yuan Shang felt a little uneasy, and subconsciously stayed away from him, leaning on Liu's arms.

Yuan Shao's wife, Li, died of illness a year ago, and Liu was his remarried wife, young and beautiful, with a clever mind. She knew that Yuan Shao didn't like the elder Yuan Tan, but liked the young Yuan Shang, so she loved the young Yuan Shang as her own son. Because of this, she quickly won Yuan Shao's favor, but today's atmosphere was really a little weird, even if she was as favored as her, she didn't dare to come forward to disturb Yuan Shao's thoughts.

The wives and concubines and children in a room were all drinking with their heads bored, and no one dared to speak loudly, Yuan Shao suddenly had an unspeakable loneliness in his heart, he tightened the mink fur on his body, and forced a laugh: "Come, everyone drink." ”

Yuan Tan and the others looked at each other, hesitantly raised their glasses, and congratulated Yuan Shao on the New Year. Yuan Tan had been looking at him carefully, and when he saw his expression, he was even more worried in his heart, and he couldn't say anything later.

Yuan Shao was even more annoyed, waved his hand, and motioned for Yuan Tan to return to his position. He thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said, "The little emperor wants to recruit in person, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Tan was deflated just now, and he didn't dare to talk more at the moment, so he lowered his head and didn't speak. When Yuan Xi saw it, he got up and said with a smile: "Father, this is a good opportunity." ”

"What's a good way?" Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Tan's nest in disgust. barely squeezed out a smile, for fear of scaring Yuan Xi into not daring to speak. Yuan Xi licked his lips a little nervously and glanced at his brother sympathetically. Only then did he say: "The little emperor doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he rashly recruits in person, which is to throw himself into the net." Just capture him......"

Before Yuan Xi finished speaking, Yuan Shao snorted dissatisfiedly and interrupted him. Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head at the end of Ai Ai's hastily end.

Yuan Tan glanced at him and also sympathized.

Yuan Shao sighed secretly and held down his unhappiness. He asked Yuan Tan again: "Xiansi, what is your opinion, the same as Xianyong?" ”

Yuan Tan nodded slightly.

Yuan Shao shook his head secretly, he could see that Yuan Tan actually didn't have his own thoughts, he didn't even dare to speak. Yuan Shao looked at their dejected looks, and he couldn't get angry. But looking at the frightened rabbit-like eyes of the wives and concubines around him, he felt a little depressed. This New Year's Eve celebration, the people who sit in a room, why are they so lonely, and there is no holiday joy at all.

"This ...... Reflection. Xianyong, you are not young anymore, you can no longer be like a child, you have to try to do something, to use your brains. Yuan Shao said in as gentle a tone as possible: "You can't learn true knowledge just by reading, unless you become a doctor." Now that things are going on, you should also help share some responsibility for your father. ”

"Whoa." Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were a little surprised by Yuan Shao's attitude, they still responded gratefully. Yuan Shao is in charge of power alone, and has not let their brothers take on specific tasks, and now when he says this, it is obvious that he wants to divide power. For them who are young and eager to make a contribution, this is undoubtedly a good news to be happy about.

"It's normal for you to have some things you don't understand when you're new to politics. It's not scary to not understand, but I'm afraid that you won't ask. Yuan Shao's tone was even more softened, "Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, do you understand?" ”

"Thank you Father for his teachings, we understand." Brother Yuan Tan replied, and after a pause, Yuan Tan asked again: "Dare to ask my father, what is my father's opinion on the matter of the little emperor wanting to conquer in person?" ”

Yuan Shao chuckled: "That little fool, we can't be more stupid than him." Liu Xiu wants to treat us as swordsmen, how can there be such an easy good thing in the world? ”

Yuan Tan's mind moved, and he suddenly clapped his hands: "Father, I understand, what Liu Xiu hopes most now is that we kill the little emperor." [~] The little emperor is still young and has no heirs, if he dies, Liu Xiu has the greatest possibility of succeeding to the throne, and he can attack us in the name of avenging the little emperor. ”

Yuan Shao smiled and nodded: "Although it's not complete, it's not easy for you to think of this." ”

Yuan Tan's nervous mood was gone, and he got half of Yuan Shao's expression, and his mood was more relaxed, he hurriedly raised his wine glass, toasted a glass of wine to Yuan Shao, and said respectfully: "Please also ask my father for advice." ”

Yuan Shao put down the wine glass, looked at Yuan Tan, and then looked at Yuan Xi, who was looking at him intently, waiting to listen to the answer, and a burst of pride surged in his heart, but this trace of pride was immediately covered up by him. He let out a long breath and said slowly, "Xian Si thought about Liu Xiu's purpose, which is very correct. Because from the very beginning, our opponent was still the little emperor in the palace, but Liu Xiu. ”

At the mention of Liu Xiu, Yuan Shao's heart was a little bitter. When Liu Xiu first came to Luoyang and opened a noodle restaurant for his livelihood, he was already a world-famous scholar leader, receiving visiting celebrities and swordsmen from all over the world at home every day. Even if he knew, he didn't take it seriously, for him, Liu Xiu was simply a marginal person who was not worth mentioning. He was nothing but a gentleman who was somewhat famous.

Although Lu Zhi is well educated, what is it for a family like the Yuan family?

Yuan Shao didn't take Liu Xiu seriously, and later Yuan Shu and Liu Xiu had a conflict and suffered at Liu Xiu's hands, he didn't care too much, he was even a little happy. Yuan Shu has been fighting with him for so many years, embarrassing him from time to time with his concubine status, and now there is finally someone who makes him deflated, which is really a very happy thing. For a while, Yuan Shao even had a good impression of Liu Xiu, and if it weren't for Yuan Shu, he even wanted to recruit Liu Xiu.

This idea ended up in prison because Liu Xiu broke into Cao Jie's mansion. Just when many people thought that Liu Xiu would definitely die, Liu Xiu was released from prison unharmed, and soon became the lieutenant of the Northern Army, and concurrently served as the captain of Changshui, among the ranks of 2,000 stones, but he became Liu Xiu's subordinate who was bent on seeking the captain of Changshui.

From that moment on, Yuan Shaocai regarded Liu Xiu as an opponent, he put down his identity as a noble father, followed Liu Xiu to swallow the snow together, and even fell ill for this, and finally turned himself into a capable man who was both civil and military.

But he sadly found that no matter how hard he tried, the gap between him and Liu Xiu was getting bigger and bigger. The battle in the north was supposed to be his best chance to surpass Liu Xiu, but the result made him very embarrassed, as the commander of the army, if he didn't come to Liu Xiu's aid, he would probably die in the desert. And Liu Xiu relied on that battle to establish his undefeated prestige.

Since then, Liu Xiu has been like an eagle with wings spread, leaping up nine thousand miles, no matter how much he can catch up, he can only look up to it.

Then, the Yuan family took advantage of quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion to grasp the military power, and then, they found that the imperial prince had been kept in Liu Xiu's mansion, and then, they heard a news that the imperial prince and Liu Xiu looked very similar when they were young.

At that time, this was ecstatic news, but later it was discovered that this was a trap at all, a trap that forced the Yuan family into a corner.

The Yuan family had to rebel.

In fact, at the beginning of the army, Yuan Shao was also ambitious, with the strong foundation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and occupied the richest land in the east, it is entirely possible for them to seize the throne within a few years and push the Yuan family to the top.

At that time, Yuan Shao had two opponents in his heart, one was Liu Xiu, and the other was ...... Yuan Shu.

However, now Yuan Shao feels that he is still wrong, and his opponent has only one from beginning to end, and that is Liu Xiu.

The Yuan family has been raising troops for five years and has not made much progress, but Liu Xiu took this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou, and then took Liangzhou, and then Yizhou. After winning Yizhou, Liu Xiu's biggest shortcoming was finally made up, and from that day on, Yuan Shao knew that he had fallen behind and could no longer despise Liu Xiu.

Sure enough, Liu Xiu stayed in Yizhou for two years, and as soon as he left Yizhou, he captured Yuan Shu in Changsha in only half a year and blocked the Yangtze River. When the news of Yuan Shu's capture came, Yuan Shao was stunned, and he also felt the horror from Yuan Kui's letter. If it weren't for the suspicion of Liu Xiu at this time, Liu Xiu would be passive and sluggish, but I was afraid that the south of the river would no longer be owned by the Yuan family at this moment.

Compared with Liu Xiu's victories, the Battle of Gecheng, which once made Yuan Shao proud, is not worth mentioning. He defeated Gongsun Chan at a heavy price and won most of Youzhou, which was his biggest breakthrough in so many years, and it was also the only breakthrough. This victory had inspired the Yuan family and their followers, but all of this became insignificant with Liu Xiu's entry into the war.

The biggest enemy is Liu Xiu, who moved from Bingzhou to Yuzhou, from north to south, but the situation is even more ferocious. He avoided Yuan Shao, but hit the weakest weakness of the Yuan family and cut off the Yuan family's retreat.

Yuan Shao was shocked in his heart, he suddenly understood something, and in an instant, cold sweat came out of his body, and his face was pale. Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, who were listening to him analyze the mystery behind the Heavenly Emperor's personal expedition, saw that his face suddenly changed drastically, his eyes were frightened, and he couldn't help but be stunned. They looked at each other, and they could see a hint of worry and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"Father, father?" Yuan Xi shouted quietly.

"Huh?" Yuan Shao came back to his senses at this time, he withdrew his somewhat scattered eyes, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a forced smile: "Go and ask Mr. Boqiu to come, I have something to ask him." ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi looked at each other, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that they didn't move: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

"Father......" Yuan Tan swallowed, "Mr. Boqiu...... It's been almost two years since I passed away. ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while. (To be continued) RQ
