Seeing that the princes were unhappy and ignored Wei Zhongxian, who was working hard, Yuan Yao shook his head inexplicably.

Yuan Shu slowly stood up and led Yuan Yao and his party towards his mansion.

This Yuan mansion, which was originally located in Luoyang, has become dilapidated after destroying and looting, and you can only vaguely feel the prosperity of this mansion from the remnants of the courtyard.

Council Hall.

"Father, my son has something to report!" After not seeing him for a long time, Yuan Yao showed a ray of joy.

"Come, sit down and talk slowly." Although Yuan Shu was suspicious by nature, he was not bold, and casually pointed to the cushion in front of him and motioned for Yuan Yao to sit down.

"Thank you, father." Yuan Yao sat down with him, knelt in front of Yuan Shu, and put Huang Zhong's appointment letter on the banquet table.

Subsequently, Yuan Yao slowly told the information that Huang Zhong knew and the speculation of Liu Ji and others.

"Hehe, Liu Biao is a character!" Yuan Shu sighed a little after listening carefully, then looked at Yuan Yao and smiled: "Those slaps just now were comfortable, right?" ”

"Uh... Not bad. Seeing Yuan Shu mention this, Yuan Yao's head didn't jump for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment before replying casually.

"Yan Xiang, take out Liu Biao's appointment letter and show it to me!" Yuan Shu casually turned his head and commanded behind him.

"Childe, please look!" I saw a white-haired old man walk out behind Yuan Shu, solemnly spreading out an appointment letter on his cuffs.

"What is this?" Seeing that Yuan Shu actually had a letter of appointment in his hand, Yuan Yao was puzzled.

"Childe, this is the appointment letter of Yuan Gong as the Taishou of Nanyang after Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou!" Yan Xiang didn't let Yuan Yao think too much, so he said the content of the book.

"Liu Biao, what does this mean?" Seeing Liu Biao's initiative to show goodwill, Yuan Yao was puzzled.

In fact, this is also the influence of Yuan Yao by later generations, he always thought that Liu Biao took the initiative to kill Sun Jian, and the two families have always had contradictions.

"Childe, not long ago, Liu Xian rode into Yicheng, united the Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou, and took over most of the land in Jingzhou with Xiangyang as the governing house."

"Although Liu Biao has initially gained a firm foothold, after all, he has just entered Jingzhou and has a shallow foundation, so he naturally does not dare to rashly turn his face with us, and this letter of appointment is his temptation to seek peace."

Yan Xiang stroked his beard with his hand, obviously quite aware of the current situation.

"And what does Father mean?" Seeing that Liu Biao actually came to take the initiative to sue for peace, Yuan Yao asked.

"What do you think?" Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Yao, smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Father, I think Liu Biao's foothold is not stable at this time, and it is a good time to attack Jingzhou!" Looking at Yuan Shu's expression, Yuan Yao remembered the middle strategy that Liu Ji had mentioned, and said with a serious face.

"I'm still young!" Yuan Shu leaned on the pillar of the screen and smiled lightly: "Does my son really think that Liu Biao's calculation is not clear to his father?" ”

"Liu Biao is just a clown jumping off the beam, even Dong Zhuo is just a puppet, our real opponent is your uncle Yuan Shao!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Yao was stunned, looking at Yuan Shu with resentment in his eyes, Yuan Yao could feel his father's dissatisfaction and jealousy of Yuan Shao.

"Uncle is really that powerful?" Seeing his father Yuan Shu's attention to Yuan Shao, Yuan Yao felt very strange.

Yuan Yao, who came from later generations, did not know that since Yuan Shao refused to be an official in Luoyang, Yuan Shu gradually developed scruples about Yuan Shao.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the strength of the power of foreign relatives and eunuchs, and because of the many party rebellions, the scholars were hit unprecedentedly.

Yuan Shao has been living in seclusion in Luoyang and has secretly become the leader of a new generation of scholars, which is also the reason why Yuan Shao now has a high prestige in the world.

"It's more than amazing! Why do you think he led the army from Hebei to the sour jujube camp? Although Yuan Shu's unconsciously recognized Yuan Shao's ability, his words were full of disdain.

"Childe, the news just came that Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling is dead!" Not far from Yuan Shu, Yang Hong, who had been silent, said to Yuan Yao.

Yang Hong, as a friend of Yuan Shu when he was young, has always been regarded as Yuan Shu's right-hand man, plus Yang Hong was originally born in the Hongnong Yang family, and his family status is equivalent to that of the Yuan family, so he has a pivotal position under Yuan Shu.

"I've seen Yang Gong!" For Yang Hong, Yuan Shu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, there is no owner in Yuzhou at the moment, and Runan County under its jurisdiction is where the Yuan family is located, so whether it is for Yuan Shao or the lord, it is a place that must be fought for!"

Yang Hong saw that Yuan Yao was very respectful to him, so he couldn't help but smile lightly, and nodded at Yuan Yao with appreciation.

"Hmm... Yan Xiang, in my name, asked Sun Jian to assassinate Yuzhou, and see how Yuan Shao reacted. Yuan Shu thought for a while and then came to a conclusion.

"Father, the child wants to go back to Runan and make sacrifices to the ancestors of the family." Seeing that Yuan Shu had a plan for the future, Yuan Yao immediately spoke.

"Sacrifice?" Yuan Shu glanced at it suspiciously, then nodded indifferently.

After Dong Zhuo retired to Chang'an, he put the main battlefield of the war in the Si Li generation, coupled with the natural danger of Tongguan, he was already invincible in the short term.

Seeing this, the princes had no intention of continuing the crusade, and retreated.

Compared with other people's suspicions, Yuan Shu's father and son have already determined that the jade seal of the country is in Sun Jian's hands.

When Yuan Shu found Sun Jian, Sun Jian did not hide the fact that he had obtained the jade seal at all, and after several contacts with Sun Jian, Yuan Yao also understood that Sun Jian had no ambition to hide the jade seal.

Unlike what Yuan Yao knew, this Sun Jian was a loyal and patriotic war element, and he knew that Yuan Shao had the ambition to occupy the jade seal, so he didn't give it to him.

He also knew Yuan Shu's thoughts, so naturally he didn't hand it over to Yuan Shu.

Casually handed over the jade seal to his wife, Sun Jian asked Yuan Shu to go south to Nanyang and continue to attack Dong Zhuo, this guy planned to fight from Wuguan to Chang'an.

As for the jade seal of the country, when the time comes, it will be returned directly to the Son of Heaven after Chang'an is laid.

In view of Sun Jian's reckless behavior, although Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, he was helpless, after all, Yuan Shu couldn't go around telling people that he wanted to be the emperor, right?

After all, during this period, the Han family was only in decline, not because the qi was exhausted, plus Yuan Shu was bent on fighting, and there was no stable territory as a foundation, and the reality could not support his ambitions.

After contacting the Sun family in the past few days, although Yuan Yao felt that the Sun Ce brothers looked down on him a little, he still admired a loyal and brave man like Sun Jian.

Yuan Yao and his entourage walked out of Bishui Pass and headed towards Runan.

Compared with the 1,000 people arranged by Zhang Xun, Yuan Shu generously sent 1,000 people to Huang Zhong's command, although Yuan Yao could not lead the troops yet, but he already had 2,000 guards around him.

Sure enough, it's good to be a rich second generation!

"Lord, I'm afraid Yuzhou will encounter a vicious battle this time!" Liu Ji sat in the carriage, looked at the excited Yuan Yao, and reminded him seriously.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Yao ate a snack and handed over an orange with a smile.

"Your uncle Yuan Shao will come to intervene." Receiving the orange handed over by Yuan Yao, Liu Ji's eyes shone with a glimmer of light.
