Looking at the anxious expressions on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's faces, Yuan Kui closed his eyes and sighed, and shook his head depressedly.

"The situation has changed, it is different from the past, now Zheng Xuan is going to resign and leave Luoyang, after he leaves, the next leader of the ancient literature school is Lu Zhi.

At present, Lu Zhi has been recognized, and I, the Yuan family, am about to become a family under Lu Zhi's subordinates, do you think this kind of thing is acceptable? ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other at the same time with a tacit understanding, and then looked at Yuan Kui together and stopped talking.

Obviously, this matter is indeed a bit difficult for the people of the Yuan family to accept.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, surnamed Zhong in the world, comes with a super bonus of protégés and former officials all over the world, and it is already very face-saving to take the initiative to jump ship to help you with the ancient literature school.

It's okay to listen to the orders of a veteran and experienced person like Zheng Xuan, but now that Zheng Xuan is leaving, he wants us to follow Lu Zhi's instructions?

Stand.

That's really unbearable.

Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu think so.

But what does this have to do with letting them join the army and go to the battlefield to fight for their lives?

"Then why do we need to go to war?"

Yuan Shu asked, "With the posture of my Yuan clan as the fourth and third dukes, how can Lu Zhi be able to fight against?" Where does Lu Zhi have such qualifications? ”

"Lu Zhi himself is also a lieutenant, and he also records Shangshushi, the power is not under me, even if the power is not as good as mine, but in Luoyang City, he is widely respected."

Yuan Kui showed an unhappy look on his face, and said slowly: "The most important thing is that his disciple, Liu Bei, is now a general of Liangzhou Mu and Che Cai, holding military power, dominating Liangzhou, and is very powerful!"

He and Lu Zhi united, one person in power, one in charge of military power, echoing each other from afar, the prestige is incomparable, as far as I observed, for a while, the prestige of my Yuan clan was actually suppressed! ”

Yuan Shu turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao pursed his lips, and the palm hidden under the wide-sleeved robe unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Yes, the biggest variable in the entire Luoyang City is not Lu Zhi, not Zheng Xuan, but ......

Liu Bei.

Without him suddenly fighting a brilliant victory in the Northern Expedition, the prestige of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master and apprentice would not have swelled to this point all at once, and even the Yuan family would have been crushed.

The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, put it on this matter, the reason is the same, the current limelight is so strong, a gust of wind blows, no matter how long it lasts, when the wind blows, people are the most awesome.

No matter how old you are with money, you have to give way to others.

But at the end of the day, who would have thought of today?

Liu Bei came to Luoyang City at the age of nineteen, and it has only been seven years.

In just seven years, he has achieved the great cause of Liangzhou Mu, Che Cavalry General, Fan Yanghou, and the inheritor of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" from a humble background.

He's just a mat weaver from a humble background, if the loss of royal blood flowing on his body can be regarded as a bonus, then he can barely add it to him, anyway, he has nothing.

But now, he has everything.

Everyone vaguely remembers that the last person who achieved great things in the past seven years was called Liu Bang, and that man founded the Western Han Dynasty.

He also has an even more awesome descendant who only took three years from the army to the emperor, named Liu Xiu, who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And now, is this awesome luck going to be passed on to Liu Bei again?

Why is the old Liu family so awesome?

There are people from generation to generation?

The three surnamed Yuan didn't expect that at this moment, at this moment, their thoughts were actually highly consistent, and the three of them thought of going together.

Yuan Kui shook his head, and put away some sighs, even a little trace of undetectable fear of the mysterious existence.

"All in all, Lu Zhi's biggest advantage is his military merits, the military merits of this pair of masters and apprentices are too strong, the Yuan clan does not say that he wants to catch up with them, at least he must make military merits, so that he can seek a higher military position in the future, at least in Luoyang City, my Yuan clan cannot be at a disadvantage!"

Yuan Kui also knows that this kind of thing can't just be talked about, if you want to make military achievements, you really have to play with your life, and military talent is not something that can be simply owned.

Naturally, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the children of the Yuan family, must have the conditions to learn the art of war at the stage of receiving education, have read military books, and not to mention other things, they still have basic military knowledge.

Now, if you want to take up a martial arts position, you can also find a suitable teacher through your family relationship to engage in a surprise attack and learn more.

Then they can take office, and even find an opportunity to hone on the battlefield and come back with some military exploits.

Of course, this matter is risky, so he can't pin this hope on Yuan Ji, he can only pin his hope on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

At least if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu accidentally died, it would not be an irreparable loss to the Yuan family, and they were not the eldest sons.

As long as the eldest son Yuan Ji is still there, and the Yuan family inheritance is still there, everything is okay.

Family inheritance is such a harsh and indifferent thing.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have no choice, since they have enjoyed the glory brought by the family, they must give everything for the family at a critical moment, whether it is fame or life.

In the next few days, Yuan Kui used his own power, constantly moving around, moving around, and once again used the family's eunuch relationship, spent a lot of money, and finally bought off the greedy eunuch and sought the position of Tiger Ben Zhonglang General for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was able to take up this position with his qualifications as an official and his family power, and he could lead the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, the main guard, and the rank ratio was 2,000 stones, and the Yuan family had a clansman who could control the military power.

In addition, although Yuan Shao looked down on He Jin's humble family background, he had no choice but to accept He Jin's position and family requirements.

He Jin was indeed very happy with Yuan Shao's joining, as soon as Yuan Shao joined the General's Mansion, he invited Yuan Shao to a banquet, and he was very close to Yuan Shao during the banquet, which made Yuan Shao very unaccustomed.

He Jin's careful thinking, how could Yuan Shao not know?

On the one hand, it is the huge prestige of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and his response to He Jin's call is a great prestige reinforcement for He Jin.

On the other hand, both families have eunuch backgrounds, and this time Yuan Shao responded to the call, and there were also eunuch factors in it, He Jin believed that Yuan Shao was trustworthy, and the interests of the two were at least not in conflict, so they were particularly close.

But for Yuan Shao, He Jin is just a dirt bun, staying with him will have an impact on his identity, and the only thing he has to do is to gain his trust, gain her favor, and then seek military power and complete the family's tasks.

He Jin served as a general, and was able to control the left and right Yulin Army, and controlled a very important armed force in Luoyang City.

Now that Yuan Shu has obtained the position of the general of the Tiger Ben, at least nominally, he has taken control of the Tiger Ben Army, as long as Yuan Shao succeeds, the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army, the two important forces guarding the court, are under the control of the Yuan family.

In this way, the Yuan family will initially have the ability to wrestle with Lu Zhi.

Yuan Kui's first goal can be achieved.

Yuan Shao was quite helpless about becoming a pawn of the family, but he couldn't resist, he was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he had no way to resist the family's orders, and he also guessed Yuan Kui's thoughts, but so what?

Who made him a concubine, not the eldest son!

But whether to say it or not, Yuan Shao is really interested in seeking power.

The main reason is the resentment and sense of competition against Liu Bei in his heart.
