Chapter 265: Do You Want to Fire With Me?
Having said that, Yuan Tan knew it in his heart.
If he didn't tear his face with Yuan Shang next, then Cao Cao would definitely not continue to provide grain and grass.
"Please rest assured, sir, I will go to meet my good brother for a while in the next few days!"
Yuan Tan looked up at Ye Cheng, his eyes were full of fierceness.
……
Yecheng.
Yuan Shanggao sat in the hall, drinking the best Moutai wine while enjoying the dance of the singers in front of him.
After returning to Yecheng, with the forged Yuan Shao's will, and the nearly 100,000 army under his control.
It didn't take much effort for him to stabilize the situation.
After successfully inheriting the strength of his father Yuan Shao, he handed over all affairs to the judges, Feng Ji and others, and he spent every day drinking and having fun!
"Childe, please have a drink."
The concubine with a beautiful face handed a glass of wine to Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang touched the concubine's body, which made her coquettish, so she laughed and took the wine glass and drank it all!
Fortunately, when my father died, my eldest brother was not by his side.
Otherwise, where would I have the happiness I have today?
Just when Yuan Shang was complacent, he saw the judge, Feng Ji and others hurriedly walking in.
"I've seen the lord!"
"A few gentlemen are here, please sit down and enjoy the singing and dancing with me."
Yuan Shang greeted with a smile.
For the warbler Yanyan in the hall, the trial match was the same as if he hadn't seen it, and said with a solemn face,
"Lord, we have something important to report!"
Seeing that he was so serious, Yuan Shang's heart tightened, and he immediately dismissed the left and right entourage, as well as the singers and musicians in the hall.
After the irrelevant people left, he said in a deep voice,
"Mr. Jeongnam, please speak!"
"Back to the lord, the eldest prince has just arrived with someone and is waiting outside the city, asking to see the lord."
"What, big brother is here?"
Yuan Shang couldn't help but be taken aback.
Although the two are brothers, the two sides are on the same page at the moment, just maintaining a superficial harmony.
Yuan Tan brought people to the outside of Yecheng, which was really weird!
"How many soldiers and horses did he bring?"
"Back to the lord, there are only about a few hundred people."
Feng Ji on the side replied.
When Yuan Shang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, Yuan Tan is not here to turn his face with him.
"Mr. Zhengnan, Mr. Yuantu, do you think I should go and meet my eldest brother?"
The judge and Feng Ji glanced at each other, and then both of them nodded.
"Since the eldest prince took the initiative to ask to see him, the lord might as well go and see him."
"That's right, if you can convince the eldest prince to obey the lord's orders, that's the best."
After listening to the words of the two, Yuan Shang thought about it and nodded,
"Okay, then let's go meet him."
Although Yuan Tan was unlikely to harm himself, for the sake of safety, Yuan Shang still mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers.
His generals Su You, Zhao Zhao, Lu Xiang and others all accompanied him.
In the gazebo outside Yecheng.
Yuan Tan, Wen Chou, Guo Tu and others have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Yuan Shang and his entourage arriving with great fanfare, Yuan Tan stood up and said lightly,
"I haven't seen him for a long time, but I didn't expect my brother to become more and more energetic."
"Big brother is not too reckless."
Yuan Shang smiled.
Although both sides are secretly harboring ghosts, there is still a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang sat down in the pavilion, and their strategists and generals stood behind each other.
"I don't know why my eldest brother came here today?"
Yuan Shang said with a smile.
Yuan Tan glanced at him and said slowly,
"Not long after my father died, the bones were not cold, there were rebellions in various places, and there were Cao thieves eyeing him outside."
"At such a time of life and death, our brothers should work together, Xianfu thinks what I said is right?"
Yuan Shang nodded,
"What the eldest brother said is very true."
"In that case, then I would like to ask Xianfu, if you don't want to allocate soldiers and horses to me, why is the grain and grass provided insufficient, and it is mixed with sand and gravel?!"
Yuan Tan asked sharply.
"This ...... This ......"
Yuan Shang was hesitant and didn't know how to answer.
After Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan, who could not inherit his throne, was stationed in Liyang.
If Cao Cao came to attack Jizhou, Yuan Tan would bear the brunt of the attack.
The reason why Yuan Shang provided Yuan Tan with grain and grass was, to put it bluntly, to use him as a barrier to defend against Cao Cao.
It's just that he is afraid that after giving Yuan Tan a strong power, he will compete with himself for the position.
Therefore, according to the proposal of Xianpei, Feng Ji and others, the grain and grass given to Yuan Tan were reduced, and sand and gravel were mixed into it.
"The eldest prince has misunderstood."
Seeing this, the judge on the side hurriedly stood up,
"It's not that Gongzi is deliberately embarrassed, it's just that there are many battles, and the food and grass are tight."
Regarding the explanation of the trial, Yuan Tan didn't believe it at all.
His father has been running Jizhou for so many years, even if he fights Cao Cao again, there will be no shortage of food and grass.
Yuan Tan snorted coldly, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice,
"I can not blame the previous things, from today on, if Xianfu is willing to work with me to deal with Cao Cao, then allocate more soldiers, horses, food and grass for me, how about it?"
"I don't have anything to say about grain and grass, but I am also stretched thin for my younger brother when it comes to soldiers and horses."
Yuan Shang snorted.
Joke.
He was too late to warn against Yuan Tan, how could he send him additional troops?
Hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed in Yuan Tan's eyes.
The reason why he came to see Yuan Shang today was to give Yuan Shang a chance.
In the final analysis, he didn't want his brothers to fight and cheapen Cao Cao for nothing.
But Yuan Shang is so stubborn, then he has nothing to say.
"Xianfu, I heard that my father wanted to pass on the position to me before he died, but you forged my father's will, but is there such a thing?"
Yuan Tan stood up suddenly, pressed his hands on the stone table, and glared at Yuan Shang aggressively.
Su You and the others were also startled, and pressed their hands on their waists.
Wen Chou and the others on the opposite side also took a step forward.
For a while, the atmosphere was tense!
"Big brother, what do you mean by this, you want to be angry with me?"
Yuan Shang came back to his senses and shouted inwardly,
"My father's testament was written by him himself, and he even had his seal."
"Are you doubting me, or are you doubting your father?"
Yuan Tan smiled contemptuously,
"You know it yourself!"
He put down this sentence and went away with his men.
Only Yuan Shang and the others were left in the pavilion, looking a little dazed.
Yuan Tan just left?
So what was the purpose of his rush from Liyang, was it just to ask a few nonsense words?
Seeing Yuan Tan and the others leaving, Yuan Shang, who looked confused, took everyone back to Yecheng.
Before he could catch his breath, he saw a guard hurrying over.
"Lord Qi, an official letter from the imperial court!"
Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment, took it and took a closer look, and immediately scolded,
"Okay, you Yuan Tan, you are so shameless to collude with Cao Cao!"
When it came to the trial, Feng Ji and others, after reading the official documents of the imperial court, they were also taken aback.
