Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 850 Who can believe it?

Yuan Shang did not expect Mrs. Liu to say such a thing, so he quickly said: "Mom, you don't understand. Cao Jun is so violent. If he falls into his hands, the consequences may be worse than death. If mom is coerced by him, the reputation of the Yuan family will be ruined." Mourning, my mother will also..."

Mrs. Liu said loudly: "The worst that can happen is death."

Yuan Shang was stunned. There was no one who knew Mr. Liu best than his son. Regardless of Mr. Liu's tough words, there was a high probability that he would not be able to make this decision by then!

He said solemnly: "Mom, this is my last filial piety, I..."

Mrs. Liu burst into tears, "No, I don't want Shang'er to die, Shang'er won't die!"

"Those are all quacks. They harmed the monk and he cannot be cured. I will kill them all!"

"Yes, let's change a group of doctors. Let's escape from Jizhou together and find famous doctors. We will definitely be able to cure Shang'er!"

Yuan Shang was so dizzy from the noise that he was tortured by the pain in his body and the whining in his ears, making him feel that he would die at any time. At this moment, he envied the other two brothers. At least they didn't have a troublesome mother to help them. Holding back.

In the end, Yuan Shang coaxed Liu away on the pretext of important military matters. At this time, he was sweating profusely and his body was shaky. Hong came in. Seeing this, he quickly helped Yuan Shang lie down and gave him a linen cloth soaked in warm water. Gently wipe the cold sweat from your forehead.

Yuan Shang closed his eyes and said, "Just right, the last thing I want to find is you."

In the end, Yuan Shang spoke slowly, "You don't have to expect anything."

Yuan Shang suddenly became angry, "You have no right to blame me for anything!"

He was somewhat jealous of his two brothers, because the time God gave him was too short!

Give yourself three more years, or even five more years. Without this assassination, you may not be able to excel in the future. Yuan Shang is not arrogant, he knows that he has this ability!

"This is my last pride as a husband and the head of the Yuan family."

Ms. Hong still said softly: "I understand, so now that my husband wants me to die, I have no complaints."

"The Hong family has also benefited a lot!"

The other party's counselors were much more effective than his own men who had their own thoughts. He guessed the actions of Yuan Tan and Cao Cao, and even prepared countermeasures for himself. However, his own counselors were There has simply never been such clear advice.

Thinking about it now, Yuan Shang felt a chill go down his spine. At that time, he was less than ten years old, but because his appearance was the most similar to Yuan Shao and his talent, he was the most loved by Yuan Shao. Now that he thinks about it, Yuan Tan was on guard against or even planning to entrap him. By yourself?

But with the two brothers turning against each other, they may never get the answer from Yuan Tan. But the more Yuan Shang thinks about it, the more likely it is. Yuan Tan dares to betray even Yuan Shao, what else can't be done?

But for Yuan Xi, while Yuan Shang was jealous, he also felt envious and a sense of powerlessness.

Yuan Shang seemed to be choked, and he said coldly: "I heard that most of the Hong family have already fled to Youzhou for refuge, right?"

"No matter what I did wrong to you in the past, I will never apologize to you."

Yuan Shang silently knew the cause and effect. Liu didn't know what he thought, but he actually arrested the Hong family and wanted to use the Hong family to win over Yuan Xi.

Yuan Shang didn't know whether his physical problems were caused by Wu Shi Powder, and the cause of his exposure to Wu Shi Powder may go back a long time. Yuan Shang even vaguely remembered that Yuan Tan also played a role in fueling the flames.

But precisely because of this, he hated Yuan Shang and Yuan Yao so much. Yuan Tan did not send Yuan Yao's head. It seemed difficult to avenge his revenge, but he could use Cao Cao's hands to make Yuan Tan suffer like this. The big loss can be regarded as a bad breath.

"Second brother did it?"

Hong said calmly: "I went to ask for it."

Moreover, there was actually Liu's idea of ​​using Yuan Xi to borrow seeds. This whimsical behavior made Yuan Shang extremely speechless.

All kinds of things accumulated, resulting in a situation where Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were fighting to the death. Yuan Shang's hatred was so great that he would rather lose Yecheng to Cao Cao than give Yuan Tan anything!

Yuan Shang sat on the couch and punched him hard.

But when it comes to the issue of heirs of the Yuan family, Yuan Shang understands the urgency of the Liu family. He has never had an heir, but this news cannot be kept secret for long. If the Jizhou nobles know the truth, how many people will betray him? Falling for Yuan Tan?

Hong waited quietly for Yuan Shang to speak, but when the warm water on the linen became cold, Yuan Shang did not speak.

Hong said in a low voice: "I don't blame my husband for anything."

Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel depressed. Even if he was given five years, he couldn't see any hope of competing with Yuan Xi.

Mrs. Hong watched Yuan Shang in a daze silently. It wasn't until Yuan Shang came back to his senses that she softly said, "The water is cold. Do you want me to get another basin of hot water?"

Yuan Shang sighed, "No need, you can go out."

Just as Mrs. Hong was about to stand up, Yuan Shang asked again: "Why didn't you listen to my mother at that time?"

Naturally, Mrs. Hong knew what Yuan Shang was talking about and said calmly: "When you get married, follow your husband."

Yuan Shang sneered, "But you still relayed my mother's words to your second brother, but he didn't agree, right?"

Hong said: "He is a gentleman and does not take advantage of others' danger."

Yuan Shang suddenly became angry and said, "Yes, he is a gentleman, and everyone else is a villain." Then he laughed at himself and said, "It's true, he doesn't owe others anything, but others owe him a lot."

"Even I can't find fault with him. Maybe he is really the one chosen by God."

Yuan Shang felt tired. After all, Yuan Xi was extremely benevolent and righteous to the Yuan family, especially to himself. Although Yuan Xi also used himself to contain Cao Cao in recent wars, his efforts to himself were already greater than those of Yuan Shang. It’s more than the rest of the family combined.

After all, Yuan Xi has never done anything to harm him. Now, whether he is jealous or envious of him, what's the use?

He said aloud: "Do you want to escape from the city now?"

Hong said quietly: "My husband will do whatever he wants me to do with my concubine."

Yuan Shang opened his mouth, and finally said dejectedly: "Go down."

Mrs. Hong bowed before her, lowered her head and left. Yuan Shang didn't speak again until she exited the room.

Yuan Tan trudged eastward for a whole night before escaping from the flood and rejoining the advancing rear army.

But the only good thing is that although many of his subordinates were washed away by the flood, Guo Tu and Xin Ping survived and found Yuan Tan.

The two suggested that Yuan Tan immediately retreat to the east and gather his troops along the way. At this time, he could no longer gather the troops. Whether it was Cao Cao or Yuan Xi who came by then, they might take advantage of Yuan Tan's weakness and start a war directly!

Yuan Tan led everyone to flee for several days. When he was approaching Qinghe County, the news from the rear army spies made his eyesight darken.

In Qinghe County, Yuan Xi was at the top and Cao Cao's main force was at the bottom, but they attacked his rear army almost at the same time!

Those who fell behind were in groups of a hundred or ten, and those who fell behind were responsible for escorting the food, grass and baggage. Cao Cao and Yuan Xi each came with their armies and captured all of them.

Yuan Tan almost vomited blood from his mouth. By doing this, he was cutting off his last glimmer of hope!

He was filled with desolation and panic. He never thought that in the dispute between the three Yuan brothers, he would be the first to be targeted!

He grabbed Guo Tu's lapel and said, "Why is Cao Cao attacking me so much now? Didn't he break his own arm?"

Guo Tuna was speechless, but Xin Ping said bitterly next to him: "Maybe in Cao Cao's eyes, he was using the envoy from the beginning to the end."

"The only people he believes in are his own people, and now that you want to take Yecheng, you have already touched his bottom line."

Yuan Tan turned back angrily and reached out to grab Xin Ping's sleeve, "That's not what you said at the beginning!"

Xin Ping also risked his life, "This is the bet that the envoy wanted to make. When the envoy led the troops to march to Yecheng, he already made his attitude clear. It's just that he didn't expect Cao Cao to have a plan, so he lost the bet."

"It's no longer helpful to talk about this now. The most urgent thing is, what should we do next?"

Yuan Tan dejectedly put down the hands holding the two of them and said bitterly: "Yes, what should we do?"

"I'm at the end of my rope now!"

Guo Tu said: "No, I don't think it's that bad now."

"The flooding incident may be just a misunderstanding. As long as we conceal our previous intentions, we can use this to question Cao Cao and ask him to give a reasonable explanation, so as to turn his back on the guest."

After hearing this, Xin Ping couldn't hold it in any longer and sneered, "Gongze still has hope for Cao Cao?"

"Aren't you kidding yourself?"

"Cao Cao will only take the opportunity to kill the emperor, what explanation do you want from him?"

After hearing this, Guo Tu's expression did not change, "What should I do? Apart from Cao Cao, who else can you bow to?"

"Yuan Shang or Yuan Xi?"

After a quick comment, if Yuan Tan could really bow his head to his two younger brothers, how could things have come to this point?

Yuan Tan's face was gloomy. He looked eastward for a while, and then inevitably looked at it for a while, pacing back and forth, unable to make up his mind.

Yang Di, who had been silent at this time, spoke up, "I would like to ask the envoy, who do you want to believe the most?"

After hearing this, Guo Tu's face suddenly darkened. Sure enough, after hearing this, Yuan Tan looked away from the south and murmured: "Second brother, can he really keep his promise?"

Guo Tu became anxious and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Xi's words cannot be trusted. His wife is from the Cai clan and is related to that fierce tiger!"

"Maybe when he went to the East China Sea as an envoy, he had already taken refuge with Fierce Tiger. There are rumors that he even sacrificed his wife!"

Yang Di's face was red, and he wanted to stab Guo Tu to death. He naturally knew that his wife was fine, but Guo Tu's empty-handed slander made him unable to refute for a while.

Finally, Yuan Tan hesitated again and again before speaking out: "Send messengers at the same time to see Cao Cao and Yuan Xi separately to hear their conditions."

After everyone heard this, they quickly accepted the order, but Guo Tu's eyes were uncertain and he didn't know what he was planning.

At this time, south of Ye City, Xu You had already found Cao Jun's camp. He looked at the vast ocean behind him and thought to himself that he had just left the city and was hit by floods. What's the big deal?
