50,000 soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the night, adopted the blitzkrieg method of running thousands of miles, and took Linzi City, the capital of Qingzhou, overnight.

Although Yuan Shang had made arrangements to scold Yuan Tan for his unfilial piety, making him lose the heart of a scholar in Hebei, but when Yuan Tan did not rebel, Yuan Shang sent troops to attack his brother, and his statement was bound to fall sharply in Hebei, and he was poked in the backbone and said that he was a villain who sought his brother.

But even so, Yuan Shang did not regret it.

Being able to use such a simple and swift battle to get rid of Yuan Tan, a huge disaster that has a potential in Hebei, is a great blessing for both the Baixin residents of Hebei and the children of the Yuan family.

It doesn't matter if he is scolded by others, or if he is accused by others, as long as Hebei is stable and his vitality is not hurt, Yuan Shang doesn't mind letting the idle people take his handle.

Since ancient times, no one has died, and he will not be scolded to death anyway.

Scolding is healthier.

What's more, Cao Cao named Yuan Tan as the pastor of Jizhou, and wanted to use Yuan Tan as a nail to harm Yuan Shang.

The Jizhou pastor sealed by the imperial court is gone, do you have the ability to seal another one? Seal a few and I'll give you a few!

With mental calculation and unintentional, with elite soldiers to attack the undefended people in sleep, it was only one night that Linzi City had been obtained by Yuan Shang.

The enemy was brave, the commander was captured, and the four states of Hebei were captured, and after the soldiers in Linzi City woke up from their sleep, they knew that resistance was useless, and then they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, expressing their willingness to surrender.

After all, Yuan Shang is the rightful lord of Hebei. Although he does not have the title of Jizhou Mu, he also occupies the title of Zhongzheng, and surrendering to him is not a rebellion.

The scorching sun in the early morning slowly rose from the east, and the city of Linzi, which had been bathed by the sun after a night of war, seemed to have just undergone a holy baptism, and looked glorious and dazzling.

Yuan Shang is the main seat of the Qingzhou Thorn Mansion. Looking at Yuan Tan who was tied up below, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It was fate that the brothers finally came to this point. Is it providence, or is it the human heart?

Yuan Shang admitted that the two brothers had quarreled so far, although it was Yuan Tan who was scheming at the beginning. wants to deal with him, but there are many of them who are not at fault of their own.

If you can be a little more tolerant, a little more patient, a little more patient, and a little more perseverance to influence Yuan Tan.

Maybe today's two brothers will face each other in a different situation.

It's a pity that Yuan Shang is just a powerful mortal after all, not a saint, and he can't tolerate Yuan Tan too much.

The world is like chess, and there is an absolute right thing in the world. What's absolutely wrong?

Looking at Yuan Tan, who was full of gloom and a vicious look, Yuan Shang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Greed ruins life, ambition is poor for three generations. If the two don't get along, you will become rich and handsome, big brother, you are on the wrong path. ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, a fierce light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he got up and yelled at Yuan Shang: "Yuan Xianfu! You vile and shameless villain. If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to scrape, you will scrape, Hugh will use your tongue to suppress people, I Yuan Tan fell for your trick today, it is the destiny of heaven, but I swear not to die against the insult of your erection! ”

Yuan Shang looked deeply at Yuan Tan's unruly face, and his mind slowly became deeper.

"Big brother, no matter what grievances we have, I won't kill you, after all, it's the brother of the same father, if I really kill you, wouldn't it make my father under Jiuquan die? I will send you to Yecheng, from today on, Qingzhou's political and military affairs will have nothing to do with you, you can retire with peace of mind. ”

Yuan Tan sneered and said, "Yuan Xianfu, don't use these tricks on me, I won't eat this!" If you don't kill me today, one day, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am Yuan Tan"...,

Yuan Shang didn't bother to argue with Yuan Tan, just waved his hand and said, "Take him down and send him to Yecheng for resettlement with his family in the house, food and clothing are indispensable, let my eldest brother be a rich man." ”

"No!"

Yuan Tan was dragged down the hall by the push and shouting of the guards, and while being pulled but still listening to him, he shouted angrily: "Yuan Shang! If you don't kill me today, I'll make you regret it later!" I want you to know the Dao and the Dao, between you and me, who is really worthy of being the master of the Yuan family! Who is the real hero of the four states, you are waiting for aha haha~~~"

Seeing Yuan Tan being slowly dragged down by the guards, Yuan Shang couldn't help but shake his head lightly and sighed: "Crazy, this is really crazy." ”

The frustration who came with the army had already stepped forward, arched his hand to Yuan Shang and said: "Lord, although not killing Yuan Tan is beneficial to your reputation, but after all, this person is in trouble with you, and after today's incident, it is difficult to resolve new and old grudges, even if you live under the nose of our army, I am afraid that it will still cause some trouble in the future, it is better to make plans as soon as possible." ”

The words of frustration are tactful, but the meaning is very clear, since they are already brothers against each other, why not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but leave this scourge by your side, even if you look at it under your nose, I am afraid that there will still be some negligence in the future, it is better to kill!

But seeing Yuan Shang shook his head lightly, he said: "I know that my eldest brother is not an honest master, and he can suffocate him to death without stirring his teeth for three days, but I can't slash my siblings not long after my father died, otherwise what face will I have to see my father after a hundred years in the future?" Besides, I left my eldest brother alive, but it was also to make a long-term plan for the future. ”

"Do you have a long-term plan for the future?"

Fu Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and said: "What does the lord mean by this, please forgive me for not knowing it." ”

Yuan Shang shook his head gently, made a mysterious gesture, and said in a low voice: "This matter, when the time comes, I will naturally tell Mr. that it is just an immature idea now, and I can't reveal it to others, and I hope Mr. doesn't care." ”

While the two were talking, they saw Wang Shuang pressing Wang Zhao and Hua Yan with his open jaw, and before coming to the main hall, he asked Yuan Shang for credit.

Hua Yan and Wang Zhao are two people, one writer and one martial arts. They are all the chief strategists and generals of Qingzhou, with outstanding status, and they are Yuan Tan's cronies, and they know the military and political affairs of Qingzhou well.

Yuan Shang met with the two. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a leisurely smile.

Hua Yan followed Yuan Tan and helped him plot to assassinate Yuan Shang, but was eventually cracked by Yuan Shang. Yuan Tan, who was even more plotted in one fell swoop, killed his confidant Kong Shun and suffered a big dumb loss, so he was deeply jealous of Yuan Shang himself. When I saw this son again today, a feeling of horror suddenly surged into Hua Yan's heart.

"Mr. Hua, General Wang!"

Yuan Shang showed surprise on his face, personally went up to untie the two, and said with a smile: "Since the last time I said goodbye to Linzi City, I remember the demeanor of the two of them in my heart, and I have been thinking hard and meditating every day, and I still can't forget it, just for the fate to meet again." Now the heavens have failed me, and today I finally let me see you again! ”

Wang Zhao slowly stood up and glanced at Yuan Shang in surprise, as if he was a little confused.

However, Hua Yan was sweating profusely, and he gave his hand to Yuan Shang. Laughed miserably: "The third prince is polite, polite!" Hua Yan is a scheming and virtuous person, how dare he be the third son so concerned. ”

Yuan Shangyi patted Hua Yan's shoulder and said, "Bear!" Affordable! The two gentlemen are in Qingzhou, one is one and one is martial, and they complement each other to assist my eldest brother in achieving the foundation of Qingzhou. Yuan Shangsi has been twilight for a long time, today my eldest brother has been invited by me to live in Yecheng, Yuan is not talented, I hope that the two of them will advance bravely, and join hands with Yuan to govern the land of the four states of Hebei and create peace in the world~! I wonder if the two of you are interested? ”…,

Seeing that Yuan Shang was intending to persuade him to surrender, the two of them immediately beat a rattle in their hearts.

Speaking from the heart, although Wang Zhao and Hua Yan are Yuan Tan's humerus, since Kong Shun's incident, they have all seen Yuan Tan's unkindness, and they know that this master is too cold by nature, which is really chilling.

Now that Yuan Tan has been defeated by Yuan Shang in a battle, the brothers will judge who is higher and who is lower, not to mention that Yuan Shang is still the lord of Hebei and leads the four states, and following him must have a better future than following Yuan Tan.

The two of them are not fools, how can they not be tempted by Yuan Shang's frank solicitation?

After Kong Shun was killed by the pit back then, Hua Yan knew Yuan Shang's temperament and ability, and now seeing that Yuan Shang was willing to surrender to him, he was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "How can Hua Yan be so virtuous, can bear the lord's kindness, from now on, Yan's little life is the lord's, dare not serve the lord!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded, expressing his appreciation for Hua Yan, turned his head and asked Wang Zhao, "General Wang, what about you?" ”

Wang Zhao was not impressed by Yuan Shang, and he was still at the stage of the third prince before the battle of Guandu, and said in his heart that I Wang Zhao is the first general of Qingzhou, if I am surrendered by you like this, wouldn't it be too self-deprecating, and you may not be able to look down on me in the future, so you have to resign.

Thinking of this, he saw Wang Zhao's face showing a look of distress, and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the words of the third prince, I have followed the eldest prince for many years, and I have always received the kindness of the eldest son, and I can't repay it. I can only brush the good intentions of the third son, and I hope the third son will forgive me! ”

After saying that, he cried bitterly, although it was false and true, which made people feel not only emotional, but also moved by his loyalty to the old master.

Behind Wang Zhao, Wang Shuangchang, who captured him alive, sighed and muttered, "Alas! I can't imagine that you are mediocre in martial arts and poor in skills, but you are still a well-known hero, such a loyal person, it is really admirable! Admire! ”

Yuan Shang also sighed, shook his head and said, "General Wang is really a loyal man!" Admirable! Yuan really respects you from the bottom of my heart! ”

When Wang Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud.

This person still has to have a little backbone, so that he will inevitably get the attention of the third prince in the future!

It's a pity that Wang Zhao was happy a little early.

Yuan Shang nodded with emotion, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "General Wang is such a loyal minister, it is really rare in the world, which makes Yuan very admired!" Okay, today I will fight for the infamy of killing loyalty and righteousness, and fulfill the general's blood, let you come through the ages, drag General Wang down, and die! ”

"What?" Wang Zhao was stunned when he heard this: "Son, you really want to kill me?" ”

Yuan Shangchang sighed and said with a sad face: "I am also a loyal person who is reluctant to kill you, but your loyalty to my eldest brother can be seen from the sun and the moon, which makes people cry, it is really touching!" Yuan didn't even have the courage to continue to persuade you, and today, he had to break his wrist! General Wang, are you happy that your wish is about to be fulfilled? ”

Wang Zhao said hurriedly when he heard this: "No, no, no, how can you know the Tao if you don't try the things in this world?" You, you might as well continue to persuade me to surrender for a while, maybe you will be lucky, and I may agree at once. ”

Yuan Shang didn't seem to hear it, arched his hand and said: "Who has not died in life since ancient times, leave Dan to take care of the sweat, General Wang, go all the way!" Your wife and concubine or something, I will send someone to persuade them to remarry, they will live very happily, I promise! ”

Wang Zhao sweated profusely when he heard this: "No, it's not me, I don't mean that"

"Come on, drag General Wang down and kill him! Alas, loyal and righteous people, I can't bear it. ”

When the words fell, I saw that the two knife and axe men had already stepped forward to grab Wang Zhao, and suddenly saw that Wang Zhao's legs were weak, and he knelt down directly to Yuan Shang with a poof, and cried "Wow wow": "Third son, I said the wrong thing!" Actually, I'm going to surrender! I surrender! ”

Yuan Shang pursed his lips with a "tsk", turned his head to the generals and said, "Look at it!" How humorous is General Wang, such a loyal person would beg for mercy? Before leaving, don't forget to entertain the public, General Wang, your cold joke Yuan accepted it, today in the coming year, I will drag it down for you with a pillar of fragrance! Drag it out! ”

"Third son, don't! I was just kidding you! Don't! Don't kill me! What a joke! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
