Chapter 14: The Seizure of Power

After all, Yuan Xi did not go to Yuan Shang again, at this time Yuan Xi had already returned to Jicheng, and immediately sent a letter to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, bluntly saying that Yuan Tan should not fry each other, and Youzhou was willing to divide 15,000 troops to Qingzhou.

He returned to Youzhou on the front foot, and Han Heng on the back foot told him that Yuan Tan was going to raise troops, although he knew that he would do this, he was still taken aback.

Although he knows the development of history, the specific time is not very clear, and he is not studying the history of the Three Kingdoms, so ordinary people can only know a rough idea.

Therefore, after discussing with Han Heng and Xu Shu, he made a decision, and took the opportunity to send Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, for good reasons, and he could also win half of the military power.

"Second brother is confused, is he helping the eldest brother or helping me!"

Yuan Shang, who received Yuan Xi's letter in Yecheng, jumped to his feet angrily, while Yuan Tan was hesitating in Qingzhou.

Of course, he wanted to get these subordinates in Youzhou, but Yuan Xi said that he would only give it if he promised to give up fighting for power with Yuan Shang.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Yuan Tan let out a long sigh, and Guo Tu smiled and said, "What is the lord worried about?" promised the second son, that is, when the people came to us, they didn't listen to us. ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, he frowned and looked at him, and said unhappily: "You can deceive the world, how can you deceive your own brothers, don't make such a big mistake!" ”

Guo Tu Zhengse said: "How can the superior have a long relationship with his children, isn't the third son also the younger brother of the lord, how can the struggle for power come from the brothers?" ”

"Definitely! How can Xianfu compare with Xianyi, Xianyi has been a brother and brother since he was a child, not to mention that he is right, at this time Cao Cao is eyeing him from the sidelines, I am competing with Xianfu, and I can only cheapen Cao Cao. ”

Xin Ping nodded and agreed: "The lord is very right, there is no hurry to fight with the third prince, Cao Mengde has just attacked Qingzhou, and he will definitely come again." ”

History has turned a corner here, but Yuan Xi did not expect it, and Yuan Tan was persuaded by him.

In fact, it is also true, in history, Yuan Tan attacked Jizhou, and the trial wrote a letter to question him, this matter will make the relatives and enemies happy, Yuan Tan once went to the city to cry to the southwest, which was the direction of the ancestral tomb of the Yuan family.

It's not that he doesn't know that the brothers' rivalry will be picked up by Cao Cao, but Yuan Shang is too hateful, Qingzhou and Yanzhou are connected together, and they belong to the first place to be attacked by Cao's army.

But Yuan Shang didn't give him soldiers and horses, which is equivalent to wishing that he was destroyed by Cao Cao, and now Yuan Xi is willing to give him 15,000 troops, at least he has a lot of confidence in protecting himself.

Yuan Tan is not incapable, Qingzhou was beaten down by him, as Yuan Shao's eldest son, he studied with his uncle and grandfather when he was a child.

If the troubled times hadn't come too early, he would have been in Luoyang, following his uncle, and it would have been impossible for Yuan Shang to compete with him.

You must know that without Dong Zhuo entering Beijing, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui would not have died, and Yuan Shao would never dare to disobey the inheritance of his eldest son, and he would be beaten half to death by his two uncles.

Yecheng was stunned for a long time, originally he suspected that Yuan Xi wanted to seize the throne, but with the support of the Zhen family, it would be a big trouble for Yuan Shang in the future.

But now Yuan Xi is equivalent to cutting off his hands and feet, this mysterious operation makes him doubt his judgment, he doesn't mind Yuan Tan getting these centaurs.

It's not that he is not afraid of Yuan Tan, but that he feels that with these horses, he can't pose a threat to Yuan Shang, and with the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, how can he not know as a strategist.

He regretted it after being scolded by Yuan Xi, last year and this year, Cao Cao attacked Hebei twice in a row, this sense of urgency was even worse, and Yuan Shang didn't listen to himself, that is, he didn't increase his troops to Yuan Tan.

Now that he has these horses, it is actually to increase Yuan Tan's strength against Cao Cao, and the character of the three brothers of the Yuan family, he asked himself very clearly, of course, the current Yuan Xi is not counted.

But Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have not changed, Yuan Shang is a spoiled person, Yuan Tan is anxious, but he is actually reasonable.

If it weren't for Yuan Tan's prejudice against him very early, he was afraid that Yuan Tan would kill him after inheriting it, and he wouldn't have forged his will at all.

In fact, most of the people in Hebei supported Yuan Tan, and if Yuan Tan inherited the position, it is likely that not so many people would surrender to Cao Cao, but choose to fight to the death.

This is not only because Yuan Tan is the eldest son, but also because Yuan Tan led the army to fight very early, took charge of an army alone, and was trusted to make a difference.

On the other hand, although Yuan Shang was brave, he had never led troops to fight, and he had never even participated in political affairs, which was inferior to the original Yuan Xi.

At least before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Xi was in charge of a state alone, and stabilized the rear of Youzhou for Yuan Shao's conquest of Cao Cao, and the relationship with Wuhuan was handled well.

In history, Zhang Nan and Jiao touched betrayed Yuan Xi, and it was Wu Huan's defeat that blocked Cao Cao for Yuan Xi, Wu Huan dispatched more than 200,000 horses, and was defeated by Zhang Liao, and Yuan Xi fled to Gongsun Du.

"Don't worry about the lord, the second prince is not aimed at the lord, but the brotherhood, and with these people, the lord can justifiably not have to increase the army in Qingzhou, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The judge finally chose to persuade Yuan Shang, and gave Feng Ji a look, signaling him to persuade him too.

Although Feng Ji didn't understand why he wanted to persuade this, the two of them wore a pair of torn pants, so they could only support him and go along with him.

Yuan Shang glared at the two angrily: "I know that the second brother is not targeting me, but he has set me on fire in this matter, how will the world look at me and say that I abuse my brother?" He'll be a good guy! ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they were angry for a long time, and they couldn't help but slander Yuan Shang for not having any points in his heart, are you still afraid that the world will say behind your back, if you are really afraid, you will not detain Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses.

On the Jicheng side, our good old man Yuan Xi was confronting Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch at this time, and the two were unwilling to hand over the military power, so they led a group of subordinates to make noise.

"Do you two want to rebel? Are the Youzhou soldiers a private army, or my Yuan family's army? ”

Yuan Xi asked unceremoniously, and the tooth generals looked at each other and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Zhang Nan shouted loudly: "The last general will not dare, but the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou were in my hands at the beginning, and I can't let the second son come to Hu!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's what the Admiral thinks."

Jiao Yan hurriedly agreed, Yuan Xi laughed angrily, and said with a smile: "You can't let me come here, you still know that your father is your lord!" ”

The eyes of the two shrank, and they immediately straightened their chests and said in unison: "The lord is kind to us, and we are just carrying out the lord's will." ”

The two sides began to fight with each other, and the two said that they didn't want to leave Youzhou, until Xu Shu came in, and after quietly making a look, Yuan Xi shouted: "Take it!" ”

I saw Wei Yan rushing into the lobby with a pair of soldiers, and shouted: "Don't move, just catch the first evil, don't make mistakes!" ”

The tooth generals' discolored faces suddenly became entangled, and someone had already drawn half of the sword, and looked at Yuan Xi in shock.

Xu Shu stepped forward and said slowly: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, in the Jicheng military camp, Han Beijia has already pacified the soldiers, and everyone will go back to their respective positions later, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
