Yecheng.

Yuan Shao received a letter from Yuan Shu, which analyzed the situation in the world, the Han Dynasty's mandate of heaven had been broken, Yuan Shu was willing to send the mandate of heaven to Yuan Shao, asking for Yuan Shao's support, and so on.

At this time, Yuan Shao fought against Gongsun Chan and achieved a great victory.

Gongsun Chan was beaten by him and fled, to defeat him, take Youzhou, it is as easy as a hand, as long as he sends troops north, Gongsun Chan will die.

After receiving Yuan Shu's letter, Yuan Shao thought that his opportunity might come, and once he wanted to accept Yuan Shu's mandate, he would inevitably have to fight Cao Cao and them.

So, Yuan Shao gathered his troops, gathered in Yecheng, and then sent his subordinates' advisers to discuss what to do.

Should it be, next Yuan Shu took the initiative to give up the emperor's name.

"No!"

After listening to Yuan Shao's question, he was the first to object, and said loudly: "If you are orthodox today, you are still in Xudu." If the lord accepts the title of emperor of Yuan Highway, not only will his reputation be damaged, but he will also follow in the footsteps of Yuan Highway and become the public enemy of the Han Dynasty and even the world. ”

"Is the frustrated prison army saying that the lord is afraid of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the like?"

As soon as the frustrated words came out, Guo Tu immediately objected.

The reason why Guo Tu and others have always opposed the frustration is because they represent different interest groups.

The Yuan family has a big business, and below Yuan Shao, there are many factions, and the generals are not to mention for the time being, that is, the strategists, which are obviously divided into two major factions.

One is the Ruying faction that followed Yuan Shao, such as Xun Chen of the Xun family, Xu Yu of Nanyang, as well as Feng Ji, Xianbei, Guo Tu, etc.

They are all Yuan Shao's original team, and they have followed Yuan Shao to seek Jizhou, and they have developed all the way to the present.

The second is the scribes under Han Fu's subordinates, Fu Zhi and Tian Feng, who were later recruited by Yuan Shao in order to stabilize his rule in Jizhou.

The former comes from a prominent family, while the latter has outstanding abilities.

Relatively speaking, Fu Zhi and Tian Feng are more capable than Guo Tu and others.

However, Guo Tu and others, as Yuan Shao's original family background, are quite important, and they know how to cater to Yuan Shao's interests and hobbies, and their status is higher than that of Yuan Shao, and their words are more decisive.

For example, now, Guo Tu's sentence "Yuan Shao will be afraid of Cao Cao and Liu Bei" directly entered Yuan Shao's heart.

Yuan Shao thinks very highly of himself, thinking that except for himself, everyone else is a scumbag, and he is empty-eyed, listening to Guo Tu's words, and then thinking of what Fu Zhu said, he suddenly felt displeased.

"Yuan Highway can be called the emperor, why can't our lord?" Feng Ji also said at this time.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

There can only be one of the two major strategist factions.

Anyone who is frustrated with Tian Feng agrees, they have to oppose it every time, or they will oppose it according to Yuan Shao's wishes.

Frustration: "......"

"Lord!"

Tian Feng couldn't help but say: "Cao Cao has been developing too fast recently, and he should not be underestimated!" In addition, Yuan Highway called himself the emperor and killed himself, and now the time has not come, and the lord cannot follow suit! ”

The judge also spoke, and said slowly: "Tian Beijia said that the lord who occupies the north of the Han Dynasty does not even have the qualifications to be the emperor?" Even Yuan Highway is not as good? ”

"Enough!"

Yuan Shao suddenly drank and stood up again.

Their words were very harsh, which made Yuan Shao very unhappy, but the source of the unhappiness was not the trial and the others, but the frustration and Tian Feng, who actually dared to imply that they were afraid of Cao Cao, not as good as Yuan Shu?

Cao Cao is at most his little brother, as for Yuan Shu, if it weren't for the identity of Yuan's sister-in-law, he wouldn't know where to stay now.

Frustrated and Tian Feng immediately shut up, thinking in their hearts that Yuan Shao would be defeated by Cao Cao sooner or later.

Feng Ji and the others also stopped talking and stood quietly aside.

Yuan Shao said again: "Xiansi, you go for a walk and tell Yuan Highway that if you want me to help him, you can!" But the heirloom jade seal must be handed over. ”

The jade seal of the country is a symbol of imperial power.

If the emperor doesn't have this kind of play, it is not justifiable.

Yuan Shu was so desperate to become the emperor precisely because he got the jade seal of the country, and he thought that he was orthodox and the chosen one.

"Father, don't worry, I will be able to do it."

Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, said solemnly.

Seeing this, he frustrated the two and gave up persuasion completely.

Yuan Shao had made up his mind, they felt helpless, and they should not have accepted the solicitation in the first place, because Yuan Shao was too good and happy to be worthy of their assistance.

It's not the Lord.

——

Just when Yuan Shao decided to send Yuan Tan to contact Yuan Shu, Cao Cao had already defeated Hefei.

Jia Xu and the others crossed the Huaishui and advanced directly to Huainan.

Sun Ce and Liu Biao squeezed Yuan Shu's territory to the limit, and those families who supported Yuan Shu betrayed one after another, and Yuan Shu used half of the advantages accumulated by Yuan to collapse at this time.

Nothing is gone.

What it was like to be betrayed and separated, Yuan Shu really experienced.

"We just got the news that the people who supported Yuan Highway before have all rebelled, either taking refuge in Sun Ce or preparing to come to us."

"Yuan Shu learned that we were going to attack Hefei, so he left Shouchun as soon as possible, wanting to go to Chen Lan and others, but was refused, and now he has fled to Jiangting."

"Sun Ce is approaching Jiangting."

"Yuan Shu is now betraying his relatives!"

Guo Jia looked at the military information that came back and said slowly.

Half of the Yuan clan is gone.

Before meeting Chen Zhou, Cao Cao also felt that the two Yuan were behemoths and unattainable, but after meeting Chen Zhou, he found that the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes was nothing more than that.

The decline of the Yuan family, Chen Zhou's prediction was all successful.

"What Watari said is very right, the Yuan family seems to be huge, but in fact it is not very good."

Cao Cao remembered what Chen Zhou had said, and was moved.

Chen Zhou said: "It's just Yuan Shu, who brought about his own destruction!" ”

Liu Bei, who was standing next to him, asked in surprise: "It turns out that Du Zhi had already guessed that Yuan Shu would end up like this?" ”

Saying that, he was thinking again, Chen Zhou is really powerful!

It's a pity that I can't help myself.

It's a pity that such a capable talent has taken refuge in a dissenting thief like Cao Cao, but he can't use it for himself, so why don't you use some means?

In such a troubled environment, there is not much benevolence to talk about.

Even if Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous on the surface, in secret, his thoughts can still be very cruel.

Since I can't get it, others can't think about it, this is the idea of many princes, once others get it, they will become their own fierce rivals, and they would rather destroy it.

Benevolence and righteousness are like Liu Bei, and he also had such thoughts at this time.

Chen Zhou said: "It's just a coincidence. ”

Cao Cao said: "What do you think Yuan Shu can do next?" ”

Guo Jia first analyzed: "He only has two ways to go, one is to wait for death, and the other is to ask for help from Yuan Shao." ”

"Can Yuan Shu still ask for help from Yuan Shao?"

Liu Bei asked incomprehensibly.

According to his cognition, Er Yuan has always been wrong, and there are deep contradictions between them.

When he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei also saw with his own eyes that the two Yuan were targeting each other, especially when choosing the leader of the alliance, they almost got into trouble.

Yuan Shu directly scolded Yuan Shao, who was born to a concubine.
