Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 190 Chapter 189
Inside the black nest, there was a sea of ​​flames. Cao Jun's iron hooves were ravaging the soldiers of the Northern Army. Yuan Shao watched them fall one by one with his own eyes.

"My lord, save me, my lord." The soldiers were begging, but Yuan Shao was helpless, he could only run desperately.

Behind him, Cao Cao led Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other fierce generals in pursuit, laughing loudly: "Yuan Benchu, aren't you the fourth generation and the third prince, aren't you the overlord of the Northern Kingdom, don't you have an army of 70?"

A sound of cursing, like a heavy hammer hitting Yuan Shao's heart.

He didn't know how long he ran, but he only knew that in the process, the so-called 70 troops were constantly eaten away by Cao Cao, and they kept jumping into the Yellow River to escape.

At this moment, there was fog under his horse's feet and he flew over the Yellow River, but the soldiers behind him couldn't do it anymore, and they all fell under Cao Jun's butcher's knife.

"Yuan Shao, remember, there is no place for you in the Central Plains, you have completely embarrassed the Yuan family!" the former eunuch laughed and bent over.

But he was still silent. When he continued to run wildly, Wen Chou was tied up and kneeling on the ground in front of him. Lu Bu, who was riding a red rabbit horse, looked at him disdainfully. was cut down.

"Wen Chou!"

"Don't worry, it's your turn soon, hahaha." Lu Bu slowly pushed forward with Fang Tian's painting halberd on his shoulder.

Behind him, Cao Cao also pressed over with a large army.

In all directions, either Cao Jun or Lu Jun, he has no way out.

Facing countless swords, guns, swords and halberds, Yuan Shao shouted in terror: "Don't, don't, don't!"

"Father, it's okay, it's okay, we're back!"

In Yecheng, Jizhou, in Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Shao who was in a nightmare, and his heart ached so much that he hurriedly woke him up.

Yuan Shao, who just woke up, was already soaked with sweat on the quilt, his face was pale, and his eyes filled with horror.

Seeing Yuan Shang, seeing the judge, seeing Pang Ji, he knew that it was just a nightmare, first he felt relieved, and then he couldn't help crying again.

Since Guandu, he has had similar nightmares almost every day. Hundreds of thousands of dead souls are asking him for help. Cao Cao's insults and Lu Bu's pursuit are happening every day. He feels that he is about to be unable to hold on.

After a person has experienced a huge mental blow, the biggest damage is often not at the moment, but after the event, this depressed mood has been unable to escape.

Just like the saying in Disqualification in the World, no matter how happy you are, when you suddenly think of those moments, they will be dimmed at the fastest speed, and no amount of light will be able to illuminate them.

Obviously, Yuan Shao fell into such a bewilderment, as long as he closed his eyes, he saw the tragic scene of the northern soldiers dying in battle on the Guandu battlefield.

Some people are always willing to compare Yuan Shao's mentality with Liu Bei, who has been defeated repeatedly but never gives up. He thinks that Liu Bei's ambition is like a hero who will do great things and eventually become a great cause.

In fact, such an analogy is somewhat unfair to Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei was born as a weaver of mats and shoes, so he had nothing at first. Apart from the head on his neck, what else can he lose?

But Yuan Shao is different. He holds 70 troops from the Northern Kingdom, and all the Hebei Four Courts under his command are brave and invincible.

And this defeat almost drove him into a desperate situation.

This is a kind of loss from existence to non-existence, and it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to get rid of this haze from it.

Even Liu Bei might not be able to do it, otherwise, after Yiling, why would Baidi entrust his father to Gu, wouldn't he be able to accept this kind of despair from existence to nonexistence in the end?

"Shang'er, what happened?" After crying bitterly, Yuan Shao noticed that his youngest son had been hesitating to speak.

"Father."

Yuan Shang said with a look of grief and resentment: "Chen Hong from Bucheng seized the mansion and led his troops to rebellion; bandits gathered around Guangzong, and in the name of revenge for Zhang Jiao, they broke through the city gate, burned and killed, and merged with the people on Taihang Mountain. Zhang Yan also divided up several groups to plunder Leping and Shangdang."

"Hate the sky, hate the sky, cough cough" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, coughing blood out of breath, Yuan Shang hurried to help Shun Qi, but found that Yuan Shao's back was already soaked.

After the defeat at Guandu, riots of varying degrees occurred in various places. As of today, Yuan Shang has reported the situation to 33 counties and [-] counties.

And every report is accompanied by Yuan Shao vomiting blood. It is not an exaggeration to say that he vomits several liters of blood. He is nearly fifty years old. How can his body withstand such a toss? symptoms.

Seeing all this, Yuan Shang was shocked and frightened. He really wanted his father to recover quickly and return to the former overlord of the Northern Kingdom who had lashed out at Fang Qiu.

But in fact, Yuan Shao became like this, thanks to Yuan Shang's great filial piety.

It stands to reason that Yuan Shao has become sick like this. As a son, Yuan Shang should stand up and take charge of the military and government, and share his father's worries. There is no need to report many things to Yuan Shao, and he should solve them by himself.

But, our third son of the Yuan family feels that it is better to tell the old father about these things.

Why, because only in this way can he know that he has done something.

In this case, other people's sons always report good news but not bad news. The third son is different, he reports bad news but not good news.

The only good news is that Lu Bu returned more than 1 prisoners of war in the northern kingdom, and even sent a letter of surrender. Qingzhou was safe. This should have been a shot in the arm, but Yuan Shang suppressed it.

I, Yuan Shang, haven't done any meritorious service yet, why did you Yuan Tan jump out and stir up trouble?
In Qingzhou right now, it is obvious that Lu Bu and you, Yuan Tan, are at war with each other, and they are ready to fight at any time. How can it be possible to make peace?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Therefore, Yuan Shao's condition is getting worse day by day, because our third son wants to seize the heir.

"Shang'er cough cough"

"Father, my son knows what to do, father, don't worry, there will be no chaos in the North Country, and my son will immediately lead the army to suppress the riot."

What do you report?Xu You on the side shook his head helplessly.

He feels very uneasy now, the chaos in the North Country is far beyond his imagination.

Originally thought that after this big defeat, all parties should unite sincerely and tide over the difficulties together, but it turned out that at this time, they still wanted to seize the heir.

Dangerous, dangerous.
"How is Qingzhou?" Hearing that Yuan Shang had already responded, he didn't want to ask more questions, and the topic turned to the eastern front that he was most concerned about.

"Qingzhou. Eldest brother has not received any news, but according to the sergeant who came back from Qingzhou to supervise the food and grass, Xuzhou has increased troops again. Eldest brother has asked for war several times."

Yuan Shang looked sad, shook his head, and said with concern: "Father, don't worry about it, rest your body, the child will handle these things."

Look, how clever, he didn't say anything, but he already conveyed the meaning very clearly.

"Nizi! Cough cough."

Yuan Shao felt as if his internal organs were being burned, and gasped and cursed: "What time is it? How dare you take the initiative to ask for a fight? Send an order"

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Shao passed out, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Medical officer! Medical officer!" Yuan Shang immediately called the medical officer.

The medical officer with white beard and hair felt his pulse, and his expression was solemn, "My lord, my lord's pulse is getting weaker and weaker, and I haven't had any rice water for many days, this..."

Hearing this, Yuan Shang burst into tears.

He just wanted to seize the heir, not unfilial, besides, Yuan Shao doted on him since he was a child, and his heart still hurts very much at this moment.

"My lord, it's better not to nagging the lord to rest, wait until he wakes up, and then find a way to let the lord eat some porridge." Pang Ji reminded at the right time.

Yuan Shang nodded his head, looked at Yuan Shao on the sickbed with a pale face, and retreated gently.

That night, Cao Cao brought Dian Wei and Xu Chu to laugh at him again, four generations and three princes, overlord of the Northern Kingdom
The difference is that this time, Lu Bu also escorted Yuan Tan over, swung his halberd down in front of him, and Yuan Tan's head was thrown high up.

Even in his sleep, he couldn't stop the blood from overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

This time, Yuan Shao failed to survive.

It is absurd and sad for a generation of heroes to fall in their sleep.

That night, in Yuan's mansion, there was a lot of crying, wearing hemp and mourning.

"My lord, before my lord's death, do you have any last words to make who will be your son?" In the middle of the night, the judge came to Yuan Shang's side and asked in a low voice.

"No. I didn't even see my father for the last time." Yuan Shang replied, sobbing. At this time, he was in a mess.

After Yuan Shao died, he lost his support, which is certainly sad.

But at the same time, he also began to be afraid, because he knew that his prestige in the army was no match for Yuan Tan.

Moreover, Yuan Tan actually asked Lu Bu to hand over the peace petition. This matter can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime.

And once Yuan Tan came to power, how could he let himself go if he was entangled in old grievances and grievances.

"My lord, you have clearly remembered that the lord had a last word before he died, that he appointed you as the heir to take over the great cause of the Northern Kingdom!" The examiner's eyes were firm, and he even held Yuan Shang's hand to show his emphasis.

It is false for the judge to say that he has no selfish intentions. Like Yuan Shang, he has a bad relationship with Yuan Tan. This is inseparable from his extravagant style.

What's more, with Yuan Shang in power, his future in trial and matching can skyrocket.

It is undeniable that the judge who shouted "My Lord is in the north, don't make me die facing south" is a man of integrity.

However, the villain and the integrity, these two do not conflict at all.

What's more, whether he is a villain or not, whether he is famous or not, it is just a human comment. From the standpoint of judging, he has done nothing wrong.

"Zheng Nan is right, my lord's last words, I am also present at the scene, so I can testify." Pang Ji on the side also spoke.

Yuan Shang's heart sank, of course he understands that this is a false will, and my father's body is not cold, so I will do this?
But thinking about it, I think it's okay.

No one knew about this matter from the beginning to the end. Besides, Yuan Shao loved him so much, he just left in a hurry. If he had time to make a will, it should belong to him.

The temptation of power, the conflict of life and death, these things are entangled, Yuan Shang readily agreed without much hesitation.

"Yes, my father has a will at the end of his life, to make me his son, and I will count on the two gentlemen to assist me in the future."

"I am determined to fulfill my mission!"

Shenpei and Pang Ji looked at each other, and they both read excitement from each other's eyes.

This time, the two of them have jumped from being counselors at the bottom of the list to being Tuogu important ministers. From now on, in this northern country, they can be regarded as under one person and above ten thousand people.

Yuan Shao was still lying in the coffin, allowing his family members and subordinates to pay their respects to the remains, while a shady deal was already going on below.

If he was still alive, he would probably spit out the last mouthful of old blood.

In fact, not only them, many people are planning for their future, such as Xu You.

When he walked out of the hall, he looked up at the night sky, his heart was in a mess.

With Yuan Shao's departure, it can be foreseen that the Northern Kingdom will fall into a chaotic situation where the second son will seize the heir.

As for the successor, most likely it will be Yuan Shang, which Xu You can roughly confirm.

Because of the characters of Shen Pei and Pang Ji, even if Yuan Shao wanted to establish Yuan Tan, they would have a way to change his will.

The final result will inevitably be to kill Yuan Tan, and the strength of the North Kingdom will be greatly reduced.

In addition, Yuan Shang is a weak lord, how could he be able to support the heaven of the four northern states.

I, Xu You, should also make plans for myself.

It is said that it is a plan, but naturally it is to find another new owner.

What stands in front of me is nothing more than the two roads of Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

If he knew that Cao Cao's victory at Guandu was due to Lin Mo's tips, then he would not have any hesitation in choosing to go to Xuzhou.

The problem is that he doesn't know the inside story, but if you look at the game from the overall situation, Cao Cao is still a better choice.

First, he obtained most of the weapons and war horses on Yuan Shao's front line, greatly increasing his strength.

Second, he took the emperor to order the princes, and he already had the advantage of righteousness.

Furthermore, he has an old relationship with Cao Cao, which is a relationship anyway, and he should know his talent.

In fact, Xu You is a person with a very high self-esteem. In his opinion, his talent is even higher than that of Tian Feng and Ju Shou, but Yuan Shao doesn't need it, otherwise there would be no defeat at Guandu.

Because of this, Xuzhou is not a good choice for him.

Lu Bu has Lin Mo, he is too dazzling, and the other counselors may not have room to flex their muscles.

As a decision that directly determines his achievements in the rest of his life, Xu You already has a choice in his heart.

However, it is not enough to go to Cao Cao in this way.

He needs some bargaining chips to raise his worth.

A nomination certificate is of course essential.

Xu You turned to look at the auditorium and Pang Ji who were whispering in the hall, and rolled their eyes. It seemed that they had to get into their circle first before they could hand over a satisfactory nomination certificate.

Sili, Hanoi County, Huai County, in the Council Hall.

Zhang Yang sat on the handsome chair, stretched his waist, and patted the table with satisfaction. It has been several months since he came back. carefree.

Perhaps it was because he had been wronged in Qingzhou for a while, so he felt refreshed after returning this time.

When floating a big white!

Zhang Yang was in a good mood, and was drinking alone in broad daylight.

A sergeant ran in, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, General Sui Gu brought him back, and he has arrived at the gate of the city."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang raised his brows, "The speed is quite fast, hurry up, let him lead the person to the council hall, I want to see if the person that my nephew spent [-] gold in exchange for has a superhuman power."

"Here!"

Zhang Yang leaned back on the handsome chair, dangling the wine glass in his hand leisurely, and couldn't help murmuring, "I heard of fame when I was in Luoyang, but unfortunately I haven't seen it, but if it is worth [-] gold, our nephew It’s also a bit of a loser.”

Then he yelled to the soldiers outside the hall, "Come here, set up a reception banquet, by the way, invite Mr. Sima over."

"Here!"
