The moment before Jian Shuo stepped into the camp tent, he turned around and looked at the back of Yuan Shao and the others leaving. It wasn't until they finally disappeared that Jian Shuo turned and approached the tent.

Now in the West Park Army, except for himself, the other captains are equal to his enemies. That is to say, he has half of the strength of the Xiyuan Army, and the other half of the troops are in the hands of the other seven captains, because the seven captains are now standing together, even if there are one or two neutral among them, it is equivalent to the other half of the troops may become an obstacle to him under certain circumstances.

When necessary, the neutral two can fight for it. But no matter what, Jian Shuo didn't want this kind of wall grass, and he couldn't be sure if the two lieutenants who had a neutral position were deliberately making such a look, but secretly they were actually people from the general's side.

Yes, the only people who can believe it are the other people who are also in the middle of the regular service. However, it is still unknown how many of them can trust and trust. If he can, if he is allowed, those ministers in the court, the civilian forces are willing to forgive and accept a few people, Jian Shuo has no doubt that there will be people who will take refuge in the past.

There are not many opportunities left for him, and the only hope now is to firmly grasp the military power in his hands. As long as there are soldiers in his hands, whether he stays or leaves, he has a choice.

In the distance, Yuan Shao's footsteps stopped, he turned around, and arched his hand at the other captains.

"Thank you so much tonight!"

"No, if you watch the eunuch attack the military captain today, then maybe next time, he will attack someone else. So, to help the beginning, to help Mende, but also to help ourselves. Chun Yuqiong replied.

The other lieutenants behind him did not speak, but nodded one after another. Helping Cao Cao tonight is actually helping themselves, one less person is missing among the eight captains, and the biggest beneficiary is none other than Jian Shuo, the nominal commander of the Xiyuan Army. What's more, it is just to stand on the ground and express concern, but in fact nothing has been done, let alone a real kind of targeting and confrontation.

When the West Park Army was established, he became one of the eight captains of the West Park Army. Regardless of family background and ability, they are not bad. Several lieutenants thought very clearly, with Yuan Benchu of the Yuan family in front of them, and Cao Mengde standing up, they only needed to stand behind and wave their flags and shout. Wait until the situation is clear in the end, see which side is in decline, and then finally decide which side to bet on.

Of course, this is one aspect, really, can they bet on him? The notoriety of the Ten Standing Servants is enough for them to not stay in the court, and once the reputation of being in cahoots with the Ten Standing Servants spreads, they will also be spurned by tens of thousands of people, and it is impossible for the family behind them to raise their heads. Therefore, their only choice is to wait for the change, if Yuan Shao's side gains power, then there is no need to hesitate to add a fire. If Yuan Shao's side loses power, they don't need to fight with Jian Shuo, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

The flames burned in the braziers on both sides of the barracks road, and the light dispelled the darkness around them, and reflected them on the faces of the people, so that they could not see anything, but they were also faint. Yuan Shao stood in front of everyone, facing the others, and it was easy to take everyone's faces and expressions into his sight.

Yuan Shao knew about the careful thoughts in the hearts of some captains, don't look at them tonight at his own invitation, come to help Meng De. Did they actually pay for something? In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that they have not given anything. Jian Shuo's hatred and killing intent have always been locked on him, not on other people's bodies.

Those captains who are good friends with him will be angered, and there will be nothing more to the neutral captains. Killing one person, a few people, is not the same as killing all of them. Even if Jian Shuo wants to clean up the Xiyuan Army and completely bring the Xiyuan Army into his control, he will only listen to one person from now on, then he has to weigh it. If you reveal your intentions, how big the backlash will be.

Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to Jian Shuo's gaze on him, and his desire to kill him quickly. There are also those captains who have careful thoughts and small plans in their hearts, Yuan Shao also listened to them and let them continue to wander.

Some people are destined to have no way to hide in the crowd, and no matter where they are, they will be followed by everyone's gaze. They are born leaders, they are the ones who make decisions, the ones who let people follow, they are not pawns, they are the commanders, the commanders who strategize, and sit in the formation to watch the rivers and mountains move.

It just so happens that he's that kind of person. The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth hooked slightly, and he laughed, and his disdain for some people was only in his heart, and he never revealed it.

As the eldest son of the Yuan family, how could he be a stupid person, let alone an ordinary person. In his heart, Yuan Shao has always had a very strong pride, which made him despise the many people he came into contact with, but he had always had a good family education and a smooth way to deal with people, which made him put pride in his heart and bones.

"Want to watch me charge in front and watch you fight in the back? It's ridiculous. ”

Yuan Shao's face was solemn, and he said worriedly: "However, you should be a little cautious recently. ”

"What did that mean in the first place?" Lieutenant Bao Hong was a little puzzled and asked out loud. He looked at Yuan Shao and found that the solemnity on Yuan Shao's face didn't seem to be fake, but the most tense time before had passed, and he couldn't think of anything that made Yuan Shao show such an expression.

Among the eight lieutenants in the West Garden, they actually have their own divisions, that is, the level of military ranks. Among the eight captains, the upper army, the middle army, and the lower military captains are the most critical three. Bao Hong is a lieutenant of the lower military academy, and his ranking is still in front of Cao Cao, but he is usually inconspicuous, so many people will subconsciously ignore him. Maybe there is also a part, because the brilliance of Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, cannot be concealed, and by his side, even if Bao Hong has some ability, he does not seem to be outstanding.

"It's still the same thing." Yuan Shao shook his head and did not answer, blaming himself with great self-blame and letting out a long sigh. At the same time, after this, he bent down and gave a solemn bow to the crowd.

"Originally, you... What are you doing here? Chun Yuqiong was a little in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and forcibly grabbed Yuan Shao's hand.

Seeing Yuan Shao like this, Chun Yuqiong was very surprised, and there were also the same doubts in the hearts of others. As one of the eight captains of the West Garden, he ranked last, and he was also the one closest to Yuan Shao, and even saddled up for Yuan Shao! This is not a stammer, if you really stutter, although he ranks last in the Xiyuan Army, the military power in his hands is also real. If he wants to take refuge with anyone, he doesn't need to stammer, and he will accept it with a smile.

To be able to get this military position, in fact, Chun Yuqiong relied on the Yuan family, the Yuan of the Fourth World and the Third Duke! He is the Yuan family, a nail embedded in the Xiyuan Army, nailed in the Xiyuan Army, and became Yuan Shao's right-hand man.

Now he is also puzzled, he is the closest person to the Yuan family, let alone others.

"In the first place, why did you do this?" Bao Hong asked again.

"It's all my fault." Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed for a long time.

Not only did it not answer, but it was still like this, which made others see it, and the doubts in their hearts became deeper.

Just when someone couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to ask out the confusion in his heart, Yuan Shao sighed and finally spoke.

"Next, you still have to be careful, be careful."

A headless sentence is really incomprehensible. If it wasn't Yuan Shao in front of him, if it were someone else, Chun Yuqiong, who was more anxious, would punch him early and let him stop talking nonsense. Although the others don't have the same temperament as Chun Yuqiong, they are similar, and they always feel that a mouthful of phlegm is blocked in their throats. can't deduct it, and can't spit it out, it's very uncomfortable, which is exactly what Yuan Shao gave them.

"The notoriety of the Ten Permanent Servants, everyone must have heard of it, right? There are already I don't know how many people have suffered from their poisonous hands! What's more, he was imprisoned after just a few criticisms, and a few days later, he died of illness in prison! The viciousness of the ten permanent servants is outrageous. ”

"Today, you are very grateful for your righteousness, but you are also very worried. Jian Shuo has always wanted to take full control of the military, and with this incident, he must have a deeper grudge in his heart. As long as he has the opportunity, he should not let it go and intensify it. Therefore, please be cautious, don't let the eunuchs catch the handle, so as to frame Zhongliang! Yuan Shao's guilt was almost revealed on his face, so real, true feelings, not half a point of falsehood.

After breaking this section, several captains who were terrified in their hearts had no way to accuse Yuan Shao at this time, on the contrary, they felt that Yuan Shao was really a very good person, and he was so worried about their safety. It's not Yuan Shao's fault! The choices are all made by themselves, and they have nothing to do with others, and they can only blame the ten permanent servants for being insidious and vicious!

"How dare he?! Do you really think that the West Garden Army is his? If I dare to come here, I won't mind an extra life under my gun! Chun Yuqiong almost choked, wishing that Jian Shuo was in front of him now, and he wanted to rush up to fight with him.

"Yes! The West Garden Army is His Majesty's West Garden Army, not his army alone! Bao Hong also agreed.

He slapped his palms heavily and said impassionedly: "Seven of us and the others should advance and retreat together, and we can't give Jian Shuo any chance!" If Jian Shuo really wants to attack any of us, then it's like tonight! Stand up together and let him retreat. ”

"No, it's not just that." Bao Hong shook his head, paused for a while, and continued: "When the time comes, then don't blame us for eliminating traitors for the country!" Let's see if he is so clever as a eunuch, or if we are better equipped with swords and guns! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes. What the lieutenant said was true. ”

"I will never tie my hands, let him come here! After killing him, I will not wait for me to be a courtier and eliminate harm for the country. ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement. There were still a few people who were careful in their hearts, and the little careful thoughts in their hearts were gone, and after Yuan Shao's reminder, they thought of what the ten permanent servants had done in the past, and immediately lost the mind to sit and watch the battle.

Yuan Shao won, and their real benefits are not much, but the reputation they have gained is enough to push them up again. Since I have offended Jian Shuo today, with Jian Shuo's careful eyes, I will not let them go, so I must not let Jian Shuo gain power, otherwise everyone will not be able to have a good time!

In just a few words, Yuan Shao mobilized everyone's emotions to make them unanimous and hateful to the outside world. And at the same time, he knocked out the twists and turns in the hearts of some people, and there was no longer a fluke. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is overturned, and Yuan Shao's mastery of people's hearts has reached an extremely high level.

Regardless of whether he is too big to say or exaggerate, at least one point is not wrong, as long as that point is enough. It is the behavior of the ten permanent servants, excluding dissidents, as long as someone becomes a thorn in their side and offends them, it will definitely not be easy. This alone is enough for the captains who have been undecided for a long time to be firm and make the right choice.

What's wrong with that? When he stood up with Yuan Shao today, he was already the same statement, even if he explained it again, it was tantamount to a desire to cover up, and it was impossible for Jian Shuo to trust him.

"Then everyone, go back tonight and have a good rest, Yuan Shao is here to thank you in advance." Yuan Shao said, and said goodbye to the famous captain. It wasn't until after the last lieutenant left that he looked at Cao Cao, and he stood all the time, watching coldly, like a Cao Cao who was the same as on the road.

Yan Liangwen was ugly, and Xiahou Tang beside Cao Cao stood far away, guarding aside.

"Mengde. Long time no see. No, it's not that I haven't seen you for a long time, it's that it's been a long time since I've stood and spoken like this. Yuan Shao was in a bit of a trance, such scenes used to happen, but I don't know when, it became a thing in my memory.

"Yes." Cao Cao replied, also a little embarrassed.

If you talk about Luoyang City, who has been with him for the longest time, and at the same time is the closest, except for Yuan Shao, there is no one else. They had fought together, and when the road was uneven, the two of them drew their swords together and went up to help. In order to see a beautiful little lady, the two made an appointment to climb the wall, but they were discovered by the master's family and chased out eight streets.

But when, when did it become like this? Probably because everyone is growing, Yuan Shao is like this, he is too, growth is accompanied by changes, and they all have their own choices and their own paths.

In different directions, the more you move forward, the farther and farther away from those who once remembered deeply, until in the end, you can only remember the past that you thought would not change in your memories.
