Wancheng, Nanyang County, Yuan Shu guarded Yuan Yao and his party in the Taishou Mansion, and the singing and dancing at the banquet were endless, and everyone was staggered, and they were happy.

Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, it was the first time that Yuan Yao had seen the generals under Yuan Shu's command appear so neatly.

What's even more interesting is that all the generals under Yuan Shu's command are on the right side of the hall, leaving the left position to Yuan Yao and his subordinates.

Yuan Yao, who was sitting at the head of the left side, looked at the opposite side, not only saw acquaintances Zhang Xun, Li Feng, Yang Hong and others, but also appeared many fresh faces.

On the same side of Yuan Yao were Liu Ji, He Shen, and Huang Zhong's subordinates sitting in this way, especially the military generals, each of whom looked extremely calm and solemn, which made Yan Xiang on the opposite side quite surprised.

However, except for Yan Xiang, the other generals didn't notice this, but it was a burly general beside Li Feng who made Yuan Yao a little curious, judging from the momentum of this person, it was quite extraordinary.

"Yao'er, why don't you sit in Yangzhou for your father and secretly go to Chang'an?" After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the top, suddenly asked.

"Father, the matter in Yangzhou is now basically stable, and the child received a secret report from Heshen and went to Chang'an to gain knowledge." Seeing Yuan Shu's question, Yuan Yao stood up respectfully and replied humbly.

Due to the fact that there were a lot of civil and military officers present, after this period of training, Yuan Yao had matured a lot, and he did not say the purpose of this trip and the benefits he obtained, but just made excuses casually.

"Insight?" Hearing Yuan Yao's answer, when Yuan Shu was surprised, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Your knowledge has risen a little too much, even Chang'an has been won!" ”

Yuan Yao: "......"

Yuan Shu was not as dim-witted as recorded in the history books, and after seeing Yuan Yao's appearance, not only did he not continue to ask questions, but he smiled and revealed the matter.

The rest of the generals didn't continue to ask any more questions when they saw Yuan Shu, and no one was so blind, they all continued to eat, drink, talk, laugh and toast.

After the singing and dancing was over, the dancer slowly retreated from the hall, and the hall instantly fell silent.

"Everyone!" Yuan Shu glanced at everyone, and focused all his eyes on the past with just two words.

"General Sun's attack on Liu Biao was originally overwhelming, and he didn't want to be killed by Huang Zu's secret arrow, but now Liu Biao has cut off our grain route, I want to lead the army north to the Central Plains, I don't know if you have any objections?" Yuan Shu said about Sun Jian's murder with a sad expression, and looked at everyone in heartache.

Yuan Shu really attached great importance to Sun Jian, and did not hesitate to accept him at the risk of being scolded by the family, and when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he asked for soldiers and food for food, and almost supported him with all his might.

Sun Jian is indeed powerful, among all the princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu was the only prince who beat Dong Zhuo to the point of fear because of Sun Jian.

never thought that Sun Jian died too suddenly, and an inconspicuous Huang Zu under Liu Biao directly overturned a generation of famous generals, making Yuan Shu feel that his previous efforts were in vain.

For Yuan Shu's proposal, Yuan Yao below secretly felt that something was wrong, although Yuan Shu now occupies Nanyang and the south of Yuzhou, but due to Sun Jian's death, the situation in Yuzhou has become a lot more complicated.

Even more deadly is Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Yuzhou, where there is a seemingly inconspicuous but very powerful Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao is still just a small Dongjun Taishou, among all the people present, I am afraid that only Yuan Yao, who is familiar with history, knows how terrible Cao Cao is.

When Liu Biao in Jingzhou did not solve the problem, Yuan Shu rashly led his troops north to fight Cao Cao, which was not a good idea.

But.

Yuan Yao can't directly dispel Yuan Shu's enthusiasm, for an extremely proud person, if he stands up against it as a son, it is tantamount to dismantling Yuan Shu's platform.

When Yuan Yao was entangled, Liu Ji stood up and saluted Yuan Shu: "Yuan Gong, at this time Yanzhou is in chaos, the Yellow Turban Army killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, if Yuan Gong leads his troops north at this time, he will definitely be able to gain a lot of money." ”

What Yuan Yao didn't expect was that Liu Ji actually stood up and agreed with Yuan Shu's strategy of going north, obviously Liu Ji didn't count Cao Cao's power.

"I'm afraid it won't work if you can send troops." As soon as Liu Ji finished speaking, Yan Xiang on the opposite side stood up and rejected Liu Ji's suggestion.

"Why?" Yuan Yao asked.

"Gongzi doesn't know, the rest of Sun Jian's troops have not yet arrived in Nanyang, and with our current strength, we can only garrison Nanyang, and there is no extra force for the Northern Expedition."

"And the lord has contacted the Black Mountain Army and Yufuluo, who want to submit to us, and the Southern Huns, we must wait for these three men and horses to arrive before we have the ability to go on a northern expedition."

Yan Xiang, as Yuan Shu's strategist, obviously knew Yuan Shu's current force distribution very well, and when he saw Yuan Yao asking, he patiently explained the reason to Yuan Yao.

"Yuvro!" Hearing this name, Yuan Yao was instantly startled.

Cai Wenji was snatched from Yu Fuluo's men, and Yuan Yao also killed a group of his men, and thus freed many Han Chinese slaves.

"Childe has also heard of this person?" Yan Xiang asked curiously when he heard Yuan Yao chanting Yu Fuluo's name.

"When I was in Guanzhong, I once killed one of his team, which was a bit of a festival." Regarding this matter, Yuan Yao did not hide it, and replied truthfully.

"I see." When Yan Xiang heard this, he didn't react, just nodded thoughtfully.

Yuan Shu, who was at the top, also heard this, especially after knowing that Yuan Yao and Yu Fuluo had a holiday, his eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a faint killing intent.

Everyone discussed the matter of going north, and Yuan Shu did not directly close the coffin in the end, but Yuan Yao drank a lot of rice wine in one go, and was carried to the resting bedroom under the escort of Xu Chu, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yao had just woken up, and he saw Liu Ji and He Shen arriving together, and the eyes of the two were a little strange, which made Yuan Yao a little confused.

"Lord, my subordinates have heard something, and I hope that my lord is a little mentally prepared." Without waiting for He Shen to speak, Liu Ji took the lead in speaking.

"What's so mysterious?" Yuan Yao rubbed his somewhat heavy head and asked casually.

"Not long ago, Duke Yuan forced Sun Jian's wife to get the heirloom jade seal directly from Mrs. Sun Jian!" He Shen put away his usual playful smile and spoke solemnly.

"Father got the heirloom jade seal!" Yuan Yao, who was a little drowsy because of drunkenness, suddenly widened his eyes and felt a little incredible.

Didn't Sun Ce give it to Yuan Shu when he asked Yuan Shu to borrow troops later?

Why is it in the hands of Yuan Shu now?

Yuan Yao touched his chin and walked back and forth, obviously taking the news very seriously.

Could it be that because of his own series of actions, history has changed?

"Lord, according to his subordinates, I'm afraid that Yuan Gong already has the idea of self-reliance, judging from the current situation, now is far from the time to stand on his own, I hope Yuan Gong will not be carried away by the jade seal of the country." Liu Ji looked at Yuan Yao, with a clear trace of worry in his eyes.
