Since Cao Cao went to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng from the Jieqiao station in the north of Jizhou, and after seeing Cao Cao again, Yuan Shao returned to the Jieqiao station non-stop.

Originally, after Cao Cao's defeat, Yuan Shao laughed and ridiculed Cao Cao, but thinking about his current situation, Yuan Shao still pressed his thoughts in his stomach in the end.

Thinking about Cao Cao when no one is around, it is quite comforting to himself.

Cao Cao is so miserable, at least I'm a lot stronger than Cao Cao now.

I have to say that now Yuan Shao is still relatively wise and martial, he is personally in charge of the battlefield, and his soldiers and strategists are properly arranged, and he is quite heroic.

It is precisely because of this that many civil servants and military generals are willing to serve him.

On this day, Yuan Shao was looking at the accounts reported by the quartermaster in the big tent.

"Report!" A loud shout sounded outside the tent, and the guards guarding the tent opened the tent first, Yuan Shao straightened his waist and asked softly, "What's going on outside?" ”

The guards saluted Yuan Shao and replied, "Lord Lord, is there an urgent report from Yecheng?!" ”

"Urgent!?"

Yuan Shao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Present it." ”

"Whoa!"

The guards handed over a sealed bamboo tube to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao waved his hand to let him retreat.

Opening the bamboo tube, Yuan Shao's face darkened, "This rebel!" ”

"Whew!" Holding Bai Juan in his hand, he exhaled a long breath, Yuan Shao's brows tightened, "This rebel actually used the military emergency report to deliver a letter home!" ”

"Really! It seems that the discipline is too lenient on weekdays! ”

Although he said this, Yuan Shao still looked at the letter seriously, it turned out that the urgent military report sent from Yecheng was a letter written by Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, to Yuan Shao.

"Huh."

Seeing half of it, Yuan Shao let out a soft sound from his mouth.

"Why does Shang'er have such a strategy?!"

Yuan Shao frowned, obviously Yuan Shang mentioned in his letter about leading the troops to Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao put down Bai Juan for the time being, and began to think in his heart.

"Sending troops to Qingzhou is indeed a feasible strategy, Qingzhou Tian Kai does not get rid of it, it is always like a fish in the throat, before it can only be guarded against one or two, but now according to Shang'er, it is indeed feasible."

"Cao Apu."

"Cao Apu." Yuan Shao muttered, "Shang'er leads the troops, Ah Pu is the deputy, and the soldiers under Ah Pu are all veterans, and it is not a way to stay in the land of Yecheng all the time." ”

"If you let it attack Qingzhou......"

"Will Ah Pu do something else after occupying Qingzhou?!"

Yuan Shao shook his head, "The land of Qingzhou is not under my command now, even if Cao Apu occupies it, it doesn't matter, if he can really capture Qingzhou, then let Shang'er assassinate the history of Qingzhou, and then give Cao Apu the position of general." ”

"It's okay like this, I'm not going to hide it, even if he has other ideas, he won't act for a while."

"After I clean up Gongsun Zhan, it will be fine!"

"It's possible!"

"But who is it that is giving my son advice!?" Thinking of this, Yuan Shao's face became gloomy, "Although the letter is my son's handwriting, this kind of plan will never be his." ”

"So, did anyone start choosing so soon?"

"Huh." Yuan Shao's face showed a cold color, and a sneer came out of his mouth, "Interesting, really interesting." ”

"Someone!"

Yuan Shaogao snorted.

The guards outside the tent hurriedly entered the tent and saluted, "I don't know what the lord commands?!" ”

"Go and call Yuan Tan."

"Whoa!"

After a while, Yuan Tan, who was in armor, came to Yuan Shao's big tent.

Yuan Shao looked at this heroic eldest son and nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, I don't know why the father called the child?!" Yuan Tan hurriedly saluted Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao waved his hand, "Sit!" ”

"Yes, father."

"Tan'er, now that the war is difficult, can you still eat?!" Yuan Shao chuckled lightly and said with concern.

Yuan Tan was flattered and hurriedly replied: "Back to my father, my father is in the way, and the child doesn't feel hard." ”

"Good!" Yuan Shao swept his beard and said with a smile: "My Yuan family can't let people look down on me." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Tan and said in a deep voice: "Fang is thinking about his father, over the years, Tan'er has followed his father to fight everywhere, and he has also worked hard, if he takes Youzhou and makes Tan'er a state pastor, I don't know if Tan'er has the confidence to do a good job?!" ”

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, but he responded on his face: "It is within the scope of the child to share his father's worries." ”

"As for this Youzhou State Pastor, if he can take Youzhou, the child will definitely do his best!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, "It's so best, now that the war has not stopped, this Youzhou Mu matter has not yet been decided, as a father, I only hope that you will not slack off, and lead the army with your heart." ”

"Yes." Yuan Tan promised: "The child will do his best." ”

Yuan Shao shook his head, "Fighting on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, Tan'er, as a general, should think about protecting himself, the so-called son of a daughter, if he can't do it, that's it." ”

Yuan Tan immediately responded: "Father's teachings, children understand." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "It's good to understand, you can go down and rectify the soldiers and horses." ”

"Yes." Yuan Tan saluted and left.

After Yuan Tan left, Yuan Shao shook his head, "Shang'er's side wants to fight for military merits, someone must be plotting, it should be those children of the family who have begun to move." ”

"If you wait for Shang'er to take Qingzhou, those who are on the sidelines may not be able to sit still."

"Take advantage of the fact that I want to make him a pastor of Youzhou through the mouth of Tan'er now, and then the eldest son should be fine."

"Alas!"

"State affairs and family affairs are entangled, which is really troublesome, but this is very good compared to Yuan's before."

"Shang'er is uneasy, and now she doesn't know that she is being used, but Xi'er is honest, it's a pity."

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh and began to check the grain and grass accounts again.

Yuan Shang, who was in Yecheng, never expected that his idea of obtaining military merits by attacking Qingzhou would be easily recognized by his father Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao also saw that someone was pointing out to him, but Yuan Shao now only thought that someone from the corporal clan had begun to stand in line.

Or Yuan Shao may have seen that this may be Cao Cao's handiwork, but now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao want to be stronger than soldiers, and they don't put Cao Cao in their eyes.

Since someone is secretly guiding and supporting Yuan Shang, there are naturally no shortage of people on Yuan Tan's side, but the so-called checks and balances naturally can't favor one over the other, and it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shaocai drew a big pie for his eldest son Yuan Tan.

As long as Yuan Tan gets this news, those who support Yuan Tan will definitely be tempted, and it can also boost morale, presumably the group of people who support Yuan Tan will work harder when fighting against Gongsun Zhan.

This is Yuan Shao's plan.

Although it is a father and son, there is also power in it, and all kinds of calculations emerge one after another.
