Han family achievements

Chapter 581 Brothers
When the two brothers came out, they both had sad faces and were in pain of losing their father.

After the two came out, they were picked up separately.

Feng Ji, Yuan Huan, Gao Gan and others took Yuan Xi away, while Guo Tu took Yuan Shang away.

"Second Master, you must not leave Kuaiji!"

Before they had walked far, Yuan Huan said with a sullen face.

Yuan Xi struggled and said, "I don't want to leave either, but this is my father's arrangement, and we are facing a powerful enemy..."

Feng Ji shook his head silently and said nothing.

Yuan Shao's arrangement was forced, but it also showed his thoughts, which he just didn't point out.

To point it out at this time would be tantamount to digging one's own grave.

Yuan Huan interrupted Yuan Xi and said in a deep voice: "Once the Second Young Master goes to Danyang, he will never come back!"

Yuan Xi was not unaware of the purpose of his father's arrangement, so why didn't he stay in Kuaiji and send Yuan Shang away?
The fact that Yuan Shang was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji was enough to illustrate Yuan Shao's intention.

Yuan Xi was naturally unwilling and said, "But, father..."

Yuan Huan waved his hand and said, "No matter what, the Second Young Master cannot leave!"

Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Huan, then turned to Gao Gan and Feng Ji. Seeing that they all had the same attitude, he could not help but nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then I won't leave!"

If it were in the past, Yuan Xi would not have the courage to resist Yuan Shao's orders, but now Yuan Shao is seriously ill and may not live for many days, so he finally mustered up the courage.

Feng Ji remained silent and did not comment.

He had already seen through everything and knew the outcome.

With the imperial army approaching and the country still fighting among itself, how could there be any other outcome?

Listening to Yuan Huan and Gao Gan constantly giving Yuan Xi strategies, Feng Ji just sighed secretly without saying a word.

On the other side, inside Guo Tu’s carriage, two people were plotting.

Guo Tu said in a deep voice with a serious expression on his face, "Third Master, Lord Yuan's attitude has been made clear. Now, there is one more important thing to do!"

Compared to Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang was calm, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Sir, please speak."

Guo Tu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Leave Yuan Xi in Kuaiji, or just kill him!"

Yuan Shang was immediately shocked, and trembling, he said, "Kill? But, but, my father just forced us to swear that we would not kill each other..."

Guo Tu sneered and said, "If the Second Young Master inherits Lord Yuan's foundation, do you think he will kill you? Third Young Master, at this time, there is no room for mercy!"

Yuan Shang was still hesitant and did not dare to respond.

Guo Tu simply lifted the curtain and said, "Third Master, please look outside. Kuaiji is full of Second Master's people. You will soon be the governor of Kuaiji. What are you going to do?"

Yuan Shang immediately said, "With you here, these people shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Guo Tu snorted, glanced at him coldly, and said, "I have no power or influence. Once Lord Yuan dies, I will be alone in Kuaiji. How can I help you?"

Without giving Yuan Shang time to speak, Guo Tu turned around, looked at him, and said, "Even if the Second Young Master doesn't kill you, but sends you to Luoyang as a hostage, would the Third Young Master be willing?"

Yuan Shang's face changed slightly, as if he remembered something. His expression became terribly gloomy, and he asked, "What should I do?"

Guo Tu then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Third Master, you are now the governor of Kuaiji. Lord Yuan is seriously ill. You have the right to mobilize all the troops in Kuaiji, including Lord Yuan's personal guards."

Yuan Shang understood and said, "Then, what should we do when father wakes up and asks about it?"

Guo Tu said calmly, "There are many ways. For example, I can find out that Feng Ji is colluding with the rebels and implicate the Second Young Master. For example, the Second Young Master wants to harm the Third Young Master, and the Third Young Master takes the initiative. For example, the Second Young Master has evil intentions and secretly mobilizes troops. Another example is... don't let Lord Yuan know."

Yuan Shang opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "No, no, don't let father know?" Guo Tu stared at Yuan Shang with no expression on his face.

Yuan Shang's face straightened, his eyes gradually became firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Everything is up to you, sir!"

Guo Tu nodded in satisfaction and said, "There is no time to lose! Tonight, the Third Young Master will mobilize Lord Yuan's personal guards, and then, in his capacity as the governor of Kuaiji, seal the city gates and capture the Second Young Master and his gang in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shang was surprised and asked, "Is it so fast?"

Guo Tu's eyes were unusually calm, and he said, "Second Young Master, at this moment, you must not hesitate, you must be decisive. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it!"

Yuan Shang lowered his head, his expression changing. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Okay! Lock him up first. I'll test him when my father wakes up."

Guo Tu wanted to persuade Yuan Shang to kill him and put an end to it, but he changed his mind and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's do it."

A person who still has a conscience is easy to control.

If Yuan Shang had killed him directly, the one who would have been panicked would have been Guo Tu.

Moreover, Guo Tu had an even crazier idea in his mind - to go all out and get rid of Yuan Shao altogether.

Of course, this thought has to be suppressed in my heart.

That night.

Yuan Shao was still in a coma. Relying on Yuan Shao's appointment, Yuan Shang quietly mobilized Yuan Shao's personal guards to surround the provincial capital, then replaced the garrison and quickly blocked the four gates of Kuaiji.

At the same time, Guo Tu used his power to lead his troops to attack the residences of Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, Feng Ji, Yuan Huan and others, preparing to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Yuan Shang had just returned to Kuaiji not long ago. Even with Yuan Shao's support, his control over Kuaiji was still very limited. No matter how covert his actions were, they were still noticed.

At this time, Yuan Huan was pulling Feng Ji and had already arrived at Yuan Xi's residence.

"Let's go!" Feng Ji pulled Yuan Xi and ran straight out the door without saying a word.

Although Yuan Xi was panicked, he still said, "It's just a normal deployment. There's no need to be nervous, right?"

Feng Ji did not allow him to hesitate, and pulled him out, saying: "With Guo Tu here, anything can be done! Get out of the city quickly, or you will die tonight!"

Yuan Xi was dragged away, still in disbelief, "Third brother, third brother, it won't happen? Father, father forced us to swear a solemn oath not to kill each other, otherwise..."

"Oaths are made to be heard by those who believe, not to be kept."

Feng Ji pulled Yuan Xi harder and said, "Gao Gan is already waiting outside. He has people at the north gate. We must leave the city immediately while Yuan Shang still has a hold on us."

Yuan Xi still didn't believe it. Yuan Huan said with a gloomy face: "Second Master, don't think about it. Even if Lord Yuan wakes up, he can't save you. It's best to leave now!"

Yuan Xi looked back and saw that his family and years of wealth were still in the mansion. He was unwilling to see them disappear in such a hurry.

But he was not stupid. With such a big change tonight, if he didn't leave, he would really become a prisoner and be at the mercy of others.

With the assistance of Feng Ji, Yuan Huan, Gao Gan and others, Yuan Xi finally escaped, ran out of the city overnight and headed straight for Danyang.

However, Guo Tu thought that Yuan Xi and the others were still in the city, but were just hiding somewhere, so he launched a city-wide search. It was not until dawn that he was sure that the few people had escaped.

Yuan Shang was somewhat panicked and unwilling to accept the situation. He said, "They have escaped. What should I do now? If my father wakes up and asks about this, how should I answer him?"

Guo Tu's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "Let me explain this. The most important thing for the Third Young Master is to control the military power! Gao Gan is determined to follow Yuan Xi, but Zhang He and Ju Yi can still be used. As long as they are in your hands, Yuan Xi will not be a concern."

Yuan Shang felt relieved and said, "Okay. Father has prepared it for me. I will send the letter today. With father's order, they should not dare to disobey me."

Guo Tu thought about it carefully, and there were many ideas that he could not tell Yuan Shang at this time, so he said: "Now, we just have to wait for Lord Yuan to wake up. Let's go to the provincial capital."
