Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 309 The hero is lonely: The death of Yuan Shao

After hearing what Yuan Shao said, the judge sniffed and said comfortingly: "King Zhao, you have done a great job."

"Who in this world will not make mistakes?"

"At least, under your leadership, King Zhao, Hebei is now prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Prince Zhao, you rarely go out recently, so I don't know what the people outside think of you."

"I go out a lot, so I know."

"Everyone talks about you and says, King Zhao, that you are a virtuous man."

"As for fighting for world hegemony, it all depends on fate."

Yuan Shao slowly turned his head, looked at Shen Pei and said, "What's going on with Cao Cao and Wu State?"

Shen Pei breathed out and said: "Cao Cao's place, news came half a month ago that Yangping Pass has been captured. Zhang Lu of Hanzhong has surrendered."

"Now, Cao Cao has taken control of Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Hanzhong."

"The next one to win should be Yizhou."

"Yizhou, I feel like it's hard to resist Cao Cao."

Yuan Shao asked: "Wu Guo, are they just sitting back and watching this happen?"

Shen Pei squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Wu State now has a strong army and strong horses."

"In these years, they have recuperated, built water conservancy projects, and reduced taxes."

"Even in places like Kuaiji, taxes are completely exempted."

"The bandits and Baiyue people who often made trouble in the past are now said to be submissive."

"There are even intelligence rumors that the chiefs of Baiyue have proactively requested to send their soldiers to help conquer the world before the three dynasties this year."

"Nowadays, I am afraid that each of the four major legions of Wu State is difficult to provoke."

"As for the cavalry, I'm afraid they are not inferior to us."

"They have generals such as Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao who are proficient in riding and archery to train their cavalry."

"Recently, Xiliang Ma Chao led three thousand Xiliang cavalry to join the Wu Kingdom."

Shen Pei was a little speechless.

If he kept talking, he felt that Yuan Shao might collapse.

After Yuan Shao heard what Shen Pei said, he coughed violently.

He thought of what Tian Feng and Ju Shuo said.

If he had not rashly gone south, but had built walls high, hoarded grain, and waited for Cao Cao to fight with Jiangdong, the situation in Wu State now would have been the situation in Hebei.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable Yuan Shao became and his cough became more severe.

Seeing this, the judge hurriedly said: "King Zhao, everything has become a fact. It is important to take care of yourself!"

Yuan Shao coughed so much that his face turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was out of breath.

To judge the match, call the imperial doctor.

Feng Ji on the side looked at Yuan Shao looking like this, as if he was going to die at any moment. He hurriedly opened the door to examine the match and asked: "King Zhao, do you want to make the young master the prince?"

Xin Ping, who was standing next to him, suppressed his anger and roared: "Feng Ji, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Looking at Yuan Shao, Xin commented: "King Zhao, the eldest son has worked hard these years and has not made any big mistakes. There is no doubt that the eldest son will be appointed as the heir apparent! Since ancient times, the eldest son has been established. How can there be any reason to establish the younger one?"

Yuan Shao was still coughing violently.

Seeing Feng Ji and Xin Ping arguing, Yuan Shao's bloodshot eyes were full of disappointment.

At this time, what these people care about is not themselves, but who will succeed them after their death!

He thought of the previous scenes.

These people have never really cared about themselves!

Only Tian Feng, Ju Sue and Xun Chen really care about themselves.

It's a pity that he was blindfolded in the first place.

Yuan Shao began to cough up blood.

Seeing this, the judge hurriedly shouted outside: "Imperial doctor! Imperial doctor!"

People outside the bedroom heard the anxious shouts of the trial partner and rushed in one after another.

Yuan Shao's three sons and the Liu family rushed to the front.

They rushed Shen Pei, Feng Ji and Xin Ping aside.

The eldest son Yuan Tan shouted heartbreakingly: "Father, you have to hold on! Don't worry, my son will be a good prince and run the country of Zhao well!"

Mrs. Liu glared angrily.

Holding Yuan Shao's hand, Mrs. Liu squeezed out her tears and said anxiously: "Husband, you said that you love me the most, and Shang'er is the most like you! You said that you would pass on the title of prince to Shang'er. , you have to keep your word!"

The second son Yuan Xi also said anxiously: "Father, to whom will the crown prince be passed on?"

He is the only state pastor among the three brothers.

I am the wisest.

The position of prince should be passed on to himself!
  Yuan Shao coughed up blood while listening to the noisy urging in his ears.

At this moment, he wished he could kill all these people!

Gu is not dead yet!

However, the quarrel in my ears became louder and louder.

In the end, Yuan Tan even grabbed Yuan Shang's collar and roared angrily.

Someone actually dared to compete with him, the eldest son, for the crown prince's position!
  No one cared that Yuan Shao was coughing violently and coughing up more and more blood.

The quarrel drowned out Yuan Shao's cough.

While Yuan Shao coughed, he slowly turned his head and looked at his three sons who were already making moves beside his bed, as well as Liu, who looked fierce and was usually the most beloved.

His eyes were full of disappointment and despair.

Just like these three sons, whoever passes on the position of king has the same result.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's breath got stuck in his throat.

Seeing Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao already struggling with each other, Liu grabbed Yuan Tan's hair and acted wildly, Yuan Shao tried to reach out to them.

He wants a doctor!

He feels extremely uncomfortable now!
  However, no one paid him any attention.

Yuan Shao's body fell straight towards the bed.

Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, and the imperial doctors who arrived were isolated by Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Liu.

They watched the family fight like clowns.

Suddenly, Shen Pei noticed that there seemed to be no coughing in the noise.

Shen Pei was shocked, and a bad thought came to his mind. Looking at the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and the Liu family who were still struggling together, Shen Pei roared: "Stop!"

Only then did Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Liu stop.

The judge hurriedly stepped forward, got rid of the four people, and got into the bed from among them.

Yuan Shao was already lying motionless on the bed!

Shen Pei exclaimed: "King Zhao!"

Only then did Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu notice Yuan Shao motionless on the bed, and they all started crying.

"Father!"

"Father, you haven't said who the prince is yet!"

"Father, prince, who is the prince?"

Shen Pei hurriedly yelled at the imperial doctor who was trying to come over but was still blocked: "Come here quickly!"

The imperial doctor then got in.

Seeing Yuan Shao lying on the bed with his mouth wide open and bloodshot eyes, motionless, the imperial doctor stretched out his hand tremblingly, felt Yuan Shao's breath, knelt down directly, and said: "King Zhao, he is dead!"

Suddenly, the crying in the bedroom was heartbreaking.

The judge stared blankly at Yuan Shao on the bed, and slowly knelt down.

A generation of heroes ended up in such a way!
  The news of Yuan Shao's death in Yecheng spread quickly like a whirlwind.

March [-], the fourth year of Tai'an.

Zitong County.

The city was littered with corpses.

Blood flows like a river.

Cao Cao led Guo Jia, Xun You, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others on their war horses and slowly walked in from outside the city.

On both sides of the street, people were kneeling in fear, their whole bodies shaking like chaff.

Cao Cao looked at the results of the battle in the city with high spirits.

At this moment, a war horse galloped in from outside the city and came directly to Cao Cao.

On the war horse, a soldier almost rolled off his horse. He raised a bamboo tube with both hands and said to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, there is urgent information from Hebei!"

Cao Cao reined in his horse.

Guo Jia took the bamboo tube from the soldier, opened it, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took it and glanced at it. The expression on his high-spirited face instantly dimmed.

After a while, he took a long breath, raised his head and said loudly: "Brother Benchu!"

Thinking back to those days, he and Yuan Shao stole a bride together, worked for the general He Jin together, eradicated the eunuchs together, and crusaded against Dong Zhuo together.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao is dead now!
  Yuan Shao's death reminded him of the heroes who had fought with him in the world.

Every one is gone.

Han Fu is dead.

Liu Yu is dead.

Sun Jian is dead.

Sun Ce died.

Yuan Shu is dead.

Lu Bu defected to Wu.

Liu Biao is dead.

Gongsun Zan died.

Liu Bei defected to Wu.

Now, Yuan Shao is also dead.

He is the only one left of that generation.

Cao Cao suddenly felt a little lonely.

Passing the letter to Guo Jia behind him, Cao Cao said in a low voice: "That's it for today, no celebration banquet."

Guo Jia took the paper, glanced at it, and sighed.

In fact, he really wanted to say that after Yuan Shao's death, who would be the next King of Zhao?
  The next King of Zhao may very well determine Wu’s attitude towards us and Zhao.

However, looking at Cao Cao's retreating figure, Guo Jia still swallowed his words.

There is no rush for this day.

Let the king be in peace for a day!

March [-], the fourth year of Tai'an.

Wu County.

Shangshutai.

Lu Yi was watching Chen Deng, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xunhe, Deng Zhi, Liu Ba and others busy at the Shangshu table.

Among them, Zhuge Liang was reporting to him the completion ceremony of Nantianmen and the procedures of the martial arts competition that day.

Before the report was finished, Liu Ye was seen running in hurriedly and said: "Hebei is in urgent need!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi took the bamboo tube, opened it, took out the paper inside, glanced at it, and sighed: "On March [-]th, Yuan Shao died."

The entire Shangshu desk was completely silent.

Although Yuan Shao's death was a great joy to the state of Wu.

However, after all, it was a generation of heroes who were lonely, and everyone fell silent in unison.

Lu Yi looked at the paper for a while, then looked at Chen Deng and said, "Please inform me that the day after the completion of Nantianmen and the martial arts competition, a conference will be held immediately. All officials above the county magistrate level must participate."

"It's time for us to discuss whether we should conquer Zhao State first or attack Cao Cao first."

Chen Deng responded: "Okay!"

Lu Yi then stood up and walked outside, saying, "Go outside to get some air first. Second brother-in-law, you can continue later."

Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

Yuan Shao's death also means that the time has finally come for the world to decide where it belongs.

The melee among the older generation is over.

Except for Cao Cao who was still alive, the others either died or surrendered.

The era of alternation between old and new is here!
