Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 60

Yuan Shang listened, sat up straight, did not answer Pang Ji's question, but asked instead: "I want to know, when the second brother left Yecheng three years ago, what did the two gentlemen think of him?"

Pang Ji said without hesitation: "The second son is cowardly and has problems with his background. At that time, he had a falling out with the master and spread the name of being unfilial. In my opinion, it is difficult to make a big deal."

Shen Pei has not spoken since entering the room, seeing Yuan Shang turned to him, he said reluctantly: "At that time, the second son was far inferior to the third son, and he was not as good as the eldest son."

"Third Young Master, although he was only 15 years old at that time, he had already shown his talent for dominating the world. That's why I was willing to assist Third Young Master."

Yuan Shang nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you, Mr. Zhengnan, for your appreciation. The boy will live up to your expectations."

"I guessed at the time that Youzhou was not such an easy place to stay, and the second brother would have to return home in despair within half a year."

"But not long after Second Brother left, I learned some extremely secret rumors."

"When the second brother left, he once suggested to his father that there would be major changes in Yecheng in the fourth year of Chuping. Although the dangers would turn into good fortunes, he still hoped that his father would take precautions."

It was the first time that Yuan Shang told such a secret, and Pang Ji couldn't help but exclaimed, even the judge was surprised.

In the fourth year of Chuping, the second year after Yuan Xi left, a major event happened.

The chaos in Yecheng.

Yecheng was obviously a traitor, and the Black Mountain Army took advantage of the situation to attack and took control of Yecheng.

Although traitors also appeared in the Montenegro army in the end and escorted Yuan Shao's family members out of the city, many families of advisers and soldiers were not so lucky.

The judge frowned slightly: "My lord already knew about this in advance?"

Yuan Shang shook his head: "Father may not believe what the second brother said, but it is very likely that he has taken the minimum precautions."

"The reason why I'm so afraid of my second brother is that if this is true, it means that my second brother is carrying some secrets!"

"I believe that the two gentlemen also talked about some prophecies about the second brother in private!"

After hearing this, Shen Pei and Pang Ji changed their expressions.

Yuan Shang said coldly: "I never underestimate any enemy. Once I am ready to attack, I will definitely go all out."

"If the second brother really has the ability to foresee the future and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, then he will definitely be fine if he chooses to go to Beixincheng."

"So from the first year, I began to control the delivery of grain and grass in Beixincheng."

"Each delivery of food, grass and rations is controlled to a few hundred soldiers, so that the second brother cannot recruit more soldiers and horses on the spot."

"With the loss of transportation and unexpected factors, the food shipped can only be enough."

"When the city was besieged, the food would naturally not be able to be transported in. After going back and forth, the second brother couldn't open up the situation in Beixin City."

"However, what surprised me is that the second brother survived for three years, and even won a few battles!"

"This shows that the rumor that the second brother foresees danger is likely to be true. This has already posed a threat to me!"

Yuan Shang said these inside stories so carelessly, one is that he believes that Pang Ji Shenpei will not betray him at all, and the other is that he is confident that even if the news gets out, his status will not be threatened!

The judge said in a low voice: "I remind the third son, the second son is not an enemy."

"Several young masters are fighting with each other, and there must be a limit. If they endanger each other's lives, or even threaten the master's great cause, I am afraid that the master will not sit idly by."

Yuan Shang got up quickly and bowed respectfully to the examiner: "Mr. taught me the lesson, I will remember it in my heart."

"If I, the Yuan family, had not already controlled the situation in the north, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were all my lackeys of the Yuan family, I would not have planned so early."

"The sooner I take power, the stronger Yuan's power will be. It's ridiculous that the eldest brother and the second brother can't see the situation clearly, and they are the ones holding Yuan's back!"

He immediately smiled and said, "But the second brother also showed his feet this time."

"Gao Lan's whereabouts are unknown, and it is very likely that he has been killed."

"Eldest brother doesn't have the guts to do anything to Sitingzhu. The only possibility is second brother."

"General Gao must have found out about Second Brother!"

"And the second brother is ignorant of current affairs, and has joined forces with the eldest brother. This is our enemy."

"The two gentlemen are at odds with the Yingchuan gentry under elder brother, and sooner or later they will have to compete."

Auditor Pang Ji listened and nodded at the same time for the first time.

The judge hesitated for a while, and said: "If the second son is really capable, why doesn't the third son join hands with him?"

Yuan Shang listened, and said seriously: "If I can defeat the elder brother together with the second brother, then in the eyes of my father, how incompetent am I?"

"I want to prove to my father that I can defeat the eldest brother and the second brother alone, and let them be completely used by me!"

"Only I am the real head of the next generation Yuan family!"

When he said these words, the tiger's body shook, and the aura of domineering suddenly arose.

Pang Ji shouted: "Okay! The third son has such a heart, he will be the hero in the future!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, "Second brother, although you are a few years older than me, you are far behind me in all aspects.

Especially since his biological mother is Mrs. Liu, this alone makes him invincible.

Let me use one strategy after another to completely defeat you, second brother!
At this time, the judge suddenly interrupted, "What did Yuan Hao (Tian Feng) say in front of the lord today?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while, then lost his voice and said, "I didn't say anything."

"According to his temperament, he shouldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. There is indeed something strange about this matter."

"Thank you sir for reminding me, I'll send someone to investigate."

Yuan Shang immediately stood up and said to the two: "I'll arrange it now, the two gentlemen can do it themselves."

Watching Yuan Shang's leaving back, the interrogator Pang Ji glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

For Yuan Shang, they really couldn't find any faults, they followed the good advice, acted resolutely, and never left opportunities for their opponents. In the hearts of the two, their future achievements would definitely surpass that of the lord.

Yuan Xi's car was only half a day away from Yecheng.

Yuan Xi asked people to rest for a while, got out of the car by himself, found Qu Yi and said, "Brother, don't go into the city this time."

Qu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will be recognized?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Even if my brother is exposed, I still have a way to separate the relationship. Even if someone really finds out, my father can't kill me."

"But there are many people who have seen brother's face, and many habits are easy to be discovered by others. Gao Lan can't tell at a glance."

"If this is the case, brother will be in danger."

"After thinking about it, I still don't let my brother enter the city."

Qu Yi also knew what Yuan Xi said was right, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll find a place outside the city to settle down and take care of you at any time."

"But son, be careful, Yecheng is a den of dragons and tigers."

Yuan Xi nodded: "I know, but if there is a conspiracy, it should be to ruin my reputation, and it won't kill me."

"But I'll be careful."

The two agreed on how to meet, and Qu Yi rode away.

Yuan Xi got into the carriage and let the convoy start again. Yuan Xi looked out the window and fell into deep thought again.

When he returned to Yecheng this time, he was under a lot of pressure.

Dong Zhao left, Qu Yi hid, and Zhao Yun sat in Beixincheng, with only Wu Zhao by his side.

When he entered Yecheng, he had to face counselor Ruyun's father and third brother, neither of which was easy to fool.

Yuan Xi leaned against the board wall, closed his eyes and meditated, like a dozing tiger.

Wu Zhao sneaked a look over, thinking that Yuan Xi seemed to have endless things to think about all the time, and he didn't fully understand him until now.

She was a little curious, what exactly did Yecheng look like?
