Yuan Shao was forced by Dong Zhuo to escape from Luoyang and flee to Kanto, and the two followed the side together, and they were also the first batch of ministers from the dragon. This guy's awareness in later generations is very low, not only is it not as good as Tian Feng, Judge, Xu You, and even Guo Tu, but if you look closely at his actions, he is also a rare resourceful person, especially good at using soldiers, so Yuan Shaotuo took on a heavy military mission.

The history books evaluate Xiao Ji as "fruitful and self-use", that is, he is resourceful and decisive, but he is stubborn and self-serving, and he does not listen to the opinions of others. Therefore, this night, Xu You summoned Yuan Shao back to Yuan Tan's military order, and Xiao Yuantu immediately showed his "fruitful" side, and greeted Xu You: "Ziyuan and sit wide, Ji will go and go back." ”

Xu You was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked why are you going? Of course, he knew that Xiao Ji would make some moves to face the current crisis, but he didn't expect this person to move so quickly, so he was going to start. Xiao Ji ignored him and strode towards the door, Xu Yu chased after him, but he was older and his physique was not as good as Xiao Ji, so he couldn't catch up.

So why did Xiao Ji go? He immediately ordered his henchmen and horses, and rode out of Jixian County first, marching overnight, and arriving in the middle of the night? A manor by the water. Zhen Yao was indeed quite responsible, not only did he not sleep, he didn't even take off his clothes and armor, and he was about to make his first inspection at night, when he suddenly heard that his subordinates reported to him, and he hurriedly greeted him.

Without saying a word, he waved his horsewhip and pointed at Zhen Yao, and several henchmen immediately jumped over, ripped the third son of Zhen off the horse, and knocked him to the ground. You said that Zhen Yao was really unlucky, if it was someone else, he would definitely be vigilant. But it was Yuan Shao's best strategists who came. And Yuan Xi, who he relied on, did not have any conflict with Yuan Shang and the party of Xiao Ji. Therefore, he was defenseless and became a prisoner in an instant.

During the day, he also came to welcome Xu Yu in this way, and was praised by Xu Ziyuan for a few words, and he also came to welcome Ji at night, but he was taken down by Xiao Yuantu on the spot.

Zhen Yao stiffened his neck, and was about to shout grievances, but he was already handed over by Xiao Ji with a look, and the henchman of the Xiao family took out a handkerchief and blocked Zhen Sangongzi's mouth. At this time, Xu Yu was panting. finally caught up with him on horseback, and hurriedly said: "Zhen Yao can't be killed!" ”

Zhen Yao himself is nothing, whether he is dead or alive, and it has no impact on the overall situation, but behind his Zhen family, it is Yuan Xi who is standing. Yuan Xi saw that he was in the south of Yuyang County, holding the three counties of Yongnu, Quanzhou and Anci in the south of Guangyang, and his soldiers were well fed, so if he really offended him, he would drive him to Yuan Tan's side. There is no need to fight, Yuan Shang will naturally lose!

Xiao Ji turned his head and glanced at Xu You. smiled and said: "Even if the son is far away, I also know that it has made people go to the Zhen Mansion." Now Zhen Yao's brothers and sisters are all in my hands, and it is expected that the son of Xianyi (Yuan Xi) will be the son of Xianfu (Yuan Shang). "I'm going to take them all hostage, and I'm not going to do it.

Xu You couldn't help but shiver, cold sweat was dripping on his back, and he couldn't help but say to himself, did I take a wrong step? I don't want to make a decision with Yuantu, so fast, so dense, conspiring with him, as if conspiring with a tiger, will he be eaten alive in a blink of an eye!

After capturing Zhen Yao, Xiao Ji immediately called his subordinates and besieged the manor, but in just a moment, he completely disarmed the guards, mainly Zhen Yao's troops. Then he got off the horse, pressed the long sword in his hand, and under the support of his subordinates, he entered Yuan Shao's bedroom proudly.

When Yuan Shao was dying, he vaguely seemed to feel that there were heavy footsteps sounding in front of the couch, and he opened his eyes slightly to see that it was Xiao Yuantu. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "It's late at night, why is Yuantu here?" Xiao Ji stared at Yuan Shao's face and sneered: "The lord wants to give up the son of Xianfu?" The son is deep and the lord, if he gets the heir, he will be able to expand the family. If Xiansi succeeds his son, the Yuan family will die! Please also think twice. ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but ask, "Where is Ziyuan?" This must have been something that Xu Yu told him during the day, but he was noticed by Xiao Ji, so he took a risk and came to "force the palace"!

In fact, Xu You was outside the door, but he didn't dare to come in. Now that he heard Yuan Shao ask, Xiao Ji replied casually: "Kill." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help screaming, rolled his eyes, and straightened his legs - he hung up directly.

Xiao Ji couldn't help but be frightened, and said in his heart, why did he die so quickly? I was reckless, if I had listened to Xu Yu a few more words, and knew that the old man was so sick, I would have acted gently, and not come to force him—what would I do? Will it trigger rumors of murder? After thinking about it, it's already like this anyway, and there is nowhere to touch the regret medicine, just-

"Fetch the letter." The key is to find Yuan Shao's big seal first, and then I will draft the document for Yuan Shang to succeed to the throne here, stamp the seal, and naturally win.

While he instructed the servants to look for the seal, he was going to sit down on his knees behind a small case by the door, and start writing the official document of the throne. Suddenly, I heard a miserable shout: "Lord...... Ben Chu Gong! I saw Xu You spread his arms wide, raised his sleeves, jumped in directly from outside the door, and pounced on Yuan Shao's corpse.

Xu You cried so sadly—how did you say this? How did I get involved in this? I originally thought of a good strategy, and I told Xiao Ji to let him do it secretly, and I withdrew from the matter, and when the dust settled, I would go to Cao with the name of a loyal minister. Why did Yuan Shao force Xiao Yuantu to death? I'm afraid I can't escape the notoriety of being an accomplice!

Xu You cried bitterly, and Xiao Ji was upset when he heard it, so he took care of his subordinates: "And help Xu Gong up." But before the people could go up, Xu You stood up first, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I didn't know what happened, so I hurt the lord!" And wait for the Lord to accompany him underground! ”

He shouted it to people outside the house, not only the Xiao clan outside the house, but also many servants of the Yuan family, although they were detained, their ears were not deaf, and they would spread it in the future, Mr. Xu was still a loyal minister.

After shouting these two sentences, Xu Yu hit the pillar in the house with his head, and the Xiao clan hurriedly went up and pulled, but Hao Xuan didn't hit it. But Xu You broke free from everyone like crazy, turned around, and ran to the pillar at the other end of the room and crashed into it. Before everyone could stop it, Xiao Ji coughed lightly, which meant - let him go.

Xu You rushed out three steps, seeing that the pillar was in front of him, and no one came to pull it, he couldn't help but hate Xiao Ji in his heart. Fortunately, in a hurry, as if garlic was mixed under his feet, a horse lay down next to the pillar, and also stretched out his hands to hold the pillar, and his mouth was slurred, still howling.

Xiao Ji really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he simply came over and personally persuaded Xu You: "Ziyuan and accept the sorrow, the lord is dead, and the affairs of Youzhou are all in you and me." Now that the strong enemy is outside, the son of Xianfu has not yet been in the right position, if it is not handled properly, the foundation of the Yuan family, all lost in the hands of you and me - then Ziyuan will follow the lord in the underground, how can he see each other? "Don't pretend, I still need your help to deal with the aftermath, hurry up and get me up!

The news of Yuan Shao's death soon spread to Xu Du, and then Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan also submitted their own seals. Yuan Shang's recital is very simple, that is, he reported the death of his father, hoping to follow the last orders of his deceased father, and he will be the lord by himself, and lead the Youzhou pastor. I don't know who wrote Yuan Tan's recital, but he wrote it quite eloquently, bitterly saying that his brother Yuan Shang killed his father and seized the throne, hoping that the imperial court would raise three armies to crusade against the rebels and traitors, and he was willing to lead the troops of Zhuojun to lead the king to lead the king's division.

The two pieces were placed on Cao Cao's desk, Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shangzhi's performance, and then at Yuan Tan's performance, and couldn't help but sigh: "The son of the unscrupulous." "Why do you think that the dignified Yuan Benchu should have such two sons? If we had changed places, my brother and I would never have gotten into a fight.

In fact, the old man Cao Song has always disliked his eldest son Cao Cao, but he prefers his younger son Cao De, and often tells people that Meng De is a loser, or he is loyal and stable, and can maintain the reputation and strength of the family. But Old Man Cao really didn't have any serious plans to abolish the elder and the young, and when he was old enough to consider the issue of the heir, Cao Mengde had already gone out to break out of the world by himself - Daddy's name? Is I tall? Daddy's property? But if I want to stretch out my hand, do I dare to offer it obediently? Do I still need to hold on to my inheritance?

However, Old Man Cao's attitude towards his two sons is well known, but Cao De puts himself in a correct position, and he never competes with his eldest brother for anything when he is young. The two brothers have been separated for many years, Cao Cao is fighting the world outside, and Cao De is taking care of his parents at home, and the relationship is not very deep, but there is no grudge or estrangement.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but have a warm current in his heart, and said that I have to take care of the second child a little more, and I really want to take out the eldest brother's "coward" to show the world.

Turning his head, he glanced at Cao Ang who was sitting again, and he couldn't help but ask, "If Brother Ru is here, what will happen?" "Will you turn your face like the Yuan brothers? Or can you really get along in harmony until you are old?

Cao Ang frowned, his face flushed, but he couldn't say a word.

Cao Cao's heart said that it was broken, I asked the wrong person. You can ask Cao Pi this, you can ask Cao Zhang, they are easy to answer, it is nothing more than patting their chests to say that they must respect the eldest brother, but the eldest brother's order is obeyed, and it will definitely not be as unsuccessful as Yuan Shang. But I can't ask Cao Ang about this, he is the boss and the heir of the real brand, how do you ask him to answer? "I definitely won't fight with my brothers because of inheritance, I won't be like Yuan Tan, if Zihuan and Ziwen want to take the position of heir, just give them to them." - Is this an elephant?

Cao Cao had no choice but to cough lightly, and quickly changed the topic: "Now the Yuan brothers have all come to ask for help, Yizi Xiu looks, who should I follow?" "Who should we help?

If it weren't for Cao Cao's question just now, Cao Ang would definitely answer to help Yuan Tan - he is the boss and the natural heir, even if Yuan Shang's murder of his father is just a rumor, then the court has no reason to help the younger son seize the inheritance. But after Cao Cao asked, Cao Ang couldn't speak, so he could only kick the ball: "This militaristic matter is also important, and it should be inquired about hundreds of officials." ”

Cao Cao said okay, then you can help me convene a meeting. (To be continued......)
