Han family achievements

Chapter 580 The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry
After Gao Gan finished speaking, everyone looked at Yuan Shao.

Compared with the possibility of the imperial court's military advance, they cared more about who Yuan Shao would pass on his legacy to.

Yuan Shao's sunken eyes suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy, and his hands clenched into fists.

When Gao Gan saw this, he was immediately frightened and wanted to explain. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Yuan Huan wanted to speak for the senior official, but he also wanted to observe Yuan Shao's attitude, so he stared at Yuan Shao without saying a word.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have become nervous.

To whom their father's legacy will be passed on depends on a single word from Yuan Shao. In other words, if Yuan Shao speaks now, then the decision will be made!
Guo Tu took in Yuan Shao's expression and suddenly said in silence, "Mr. Yuan, I think everything is still speculation. Before we have definite news, we should be prepared. I ask Mr. Yuan to mobilize the three armies and prepare for battle!"

Yuan Shao's expression was still very scary. He swept his eyes over Gao Gan, Feng Ji, Yuan Xi and others, and said indifferently, "Just follow Mr. Guo's wishes and pass on the order."

After saying this, Yuan Shao began to struggle.

The maid from the side door trotted in and helped Yuan Shao leave.

Feng Ji, Yuan Huan and others saw Yuan Shao leave like this, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and stood up in astonishment. Yuan Huan even shouted: "Mr. Yuan, the imperial army is approaching, we must personally..."

Before he could finish his words, Feng Ji pulled him back.

Yuan Huan turned around and Feng Ji just shook his head slightly.

Guo Tu and Yuan Shang chased after him immediately and entered through the side door.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little confused. Seeing that the remaining people were all his people, he could not help but stand up and walked to Yuan Huan and Feng Ji, saying, "Gentlemen, what should we do now?"

Yuan Huan was furious and asked, "Guo Tu and the Third Young Master have already chased after him, why didn't the Second Young Master move? Do you know what they will say to Lord Yuan?"

Yuan Xi twitched his lips a few times and said, "Father is tired, I don't want to disturb him."

Yuan Huan was furious and was about to scold him, but Feng Ji shook his head and sighed, saying, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Yuan Huan paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "What did you see?"

Gao Gan also came over and asked, "What did Mr. Feng see?"

As Yuan Xi nervously watched, Feng Ji folded his hands, looked at the side door through which Yuan Shao left, and said, "Mr. Yuan is not feeling well and can no longer lead the army in person."

Everyone was stunned. Everyone could see that, but they couldn't just be on high alert, right?

Feng Ji looked indifferent and said, "In addition to the 30,000 troops originally belonging to Sun Ce, there are also 10,000 troops under Xiahou Dun, totaling 40,000. If Lord Yuan does not lead the army in person, Zhang He's 20,000 troops will not be able to take them down. If there is a shortage of food and grass, Zhang He will be sending troops to Wujun just to die."

Yuan Huan suppressed his anger and said, "Did you believe what Guo Tu said? Xiahou Dun has troops stationed in Wujun, Guan Yu is in Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang, conducting large-scale drills, and may invade at any time! And Zhou Yu's navy is just off the coast of Kuaiji. Don't forget that Shi Xie has surrendered to the court. Nanhai County may go north at any time. Are we just waiting for the enemy to attack? It's better to say we are waiting to die!"

Seeing that Yuan Huan had said such words angrily, Yuan Xi hurriedly said, "Calm down, Mr. Yuan. Father has fought in many battles for many years, so he will see it. It just takes time to think about it. Please give father some time."

Yuan Huan snorted coldly, stared at him, and said, "That Guo Tu is a complete villain. What good plan can he have? The Third Young Master is right in front of Lord Yuan. If I pass on the inheritance to him, what will you do, Second Young Master?"

When Yuan Xi saw Yuan Huan scolding him, he just smiled stiffly and was unable to answer.

Feng Ji felt sad.

Even at this time, there is still internal strife. Even without the imperial army, Yuan Shao's foundation of many years will sooner or later be destroyed by internal strife.

Fortunately, Yuan Huan still had his wits about him. He took a deep breath and said to Feng Ji, "Brother Feng, you have to tell me the truth, right? If you don't, do you think I have to go underground to review the situation?"

"Mr. Shi Feng, we can't let our father listen to Guo Tu in everything, right?" Yuan Xi couldn't help but say, with anger in his tone.

Gao Gan recalled Yuan Shao's murderous expression just now, and said with lingering fear: "Mr. Feng, you must not let Lord Yuan depose the eldest and enthrones the youngest, otherwise I will die without a burial place!"

Feng Ji glanced at him and thought to himself: Will you definitely wait until the Third Young Master takes the throne?

Ever since Guo Tu confirmed his "evidence" two years ago but let him go, Feng Ji has been living in fear, waiting to die at any time.

Facing a bunch of hopeful eyes, Feng Ji had no choice but to say, "The best countermeasure is to defend Wujun and then send troops to Jingzhou with all our strength. Guan Yu is an arrogant and reckless man. With a little temptation, we will surely defeat him. Jingzhou is rich, and we will surely be able to plunder a lot of money and food. Moreover, if we push the battlefield to Jingzhou, we will have enough space to fight with the court. As long as winter comes, we will win a great victory."

Yuan Huan thought about this strategy, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Then Zhou Yu's navy and the direction of Nanhai County..." "Not good! Not good!"

Suddenly, a clerk rushed out from the side door and shouted urgently: "The master has fainted!"

Yuan Xi rushed over immediately and went straight to the inner courtyard.

Yuan Huan, Feng Ji and Gao Gan also changed their expressions and rushed to the inner courtyard.

When they arrived, they saw Yuan Shang and Guo Tu looking terrified, while the doctor was already taking Yuan Shao's pulse.

There were large mouthfuls of dirty blood on the ground, and Yuan Shao's face became paler and paler, and he was barely breathing.

The doctor's fingers were trembling. After a long while, he turned back to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang and said, "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan, it's just that he is so angry that he needs to rest well..."

Everyone felt a pang in their hearts when they heard the doctor's words.

Is this just a result of anger? Will he be fine if he just takes a rest?

Yuan Xi was at a loss and looked at Feng Ji, Yuan Huan and others.

Guo Tu and Yuan Shang kept looking at each other and communicating with their eyes.

No one spoke, and the ward was eerily quiet.

Everyone has his or her own agenda, and no one dares to speak first.

The doctor left quietly, and the atmosphere was terribly depressing.

Perhaps it was the doctor's light footsteps that made the unconscious Yuan Shao slowly open his eyes and glance at the person beside the bed.

When Yuan Shang saw this, he knelt down with a plop, crawled over, and cried, "Father, father, I am an unfilial child..."

When Yuan Xi saw Yuan Shang's action, he stood there in a daze. He was asked to kneel down and crawl over, but he really couldn't do it.

Guo Tu came over, held Yuan Shang down, and said softly, "Third Master, please don't be too sad and disturb Lord Yuan."

Feng Ji, Yuan Huan, and Gao Gan also came forward and looked at Yuan Shao, who was obviously terminally ill and had not much time left.

They also feel sad, but more of it is filled with emotion.

Think of Yuan Shao, who was from the Yuan family, which had three officials in four generations, and was extremely prominent. After he was released from prison, he was even more heroic and had a great reputation, with countless people following him.

With tens of thousands of elite soldiers at your disposal and possession of sixteen counties, your great cause is just around the corner!
Who could have thought that it would come to this point today!
Yuan Shao observed everyone quietly for a while, and said in a weak and small voice: "Pass my order. Yuan Xi will be the governor of Danyang, and Ju Yi will supervise the military affairs of Danyang and Lujiang counties. The two will guard Danyang to resist Wu County. Gao Gan will be stationed in Yuzhang County to resist Guan Yu in Jingzhou. Yuan Shang and Zhang He will be stationed in Kuaiji to provide support at any time."

When Feng Ji heard this, he knew that Yangzhou was finished, and his face looked disappointed.

Yuan Huan immediately said: "Mr. Yuan, the court is not yet fully prepared, why not take the initiative..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shao had already waved his hand gently, with no expression on his face, and said: "All of you go, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang stay."

Yuan Huan watched as Yuan Shao was about to die, and could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

After everyone left, Yuan Shao looked at his two sons who stayed behind with a slightly complicated look.

No one knows a son better than his father. He knows both of his sons very well, but he doesn't have time to make leisurely arrangements.

The two sons were also looking at Yuan Shao, with obvious thoughts in their minds at this moment, and they were nervously waiting for Yuan Shao to open up the land.

"The enemy is at hand,"

Yuan Shao collected his thoughts and said in a tired but tender tone: "You brothers must work together, only in this way can you get through this. You are brothers and sisters, blood relatives, you must work together, and never fight, otherwise it will benefit the court..."

Yuan Shang shed tears, gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Don't worry, father, I will do my best to assist you and complete your great cause..."

Yuan Xi didn't say anything, but his face looked sad and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
