Lord Yuan

Chapter 161 Huang Zhong's News

This symbolic discussion ended with Yuan Shao's arrogant aura.

The cousin Yuan Shao left the hall directly after finishing his work without looking back. He never imagined that Yuan Shao just went to Liaodong to serve as the chief historian, but how could he become so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued when he returned, and even killed him? He was ridiculed.

Perhaps it was because of Yuan Shao's performance today that his prestige in the clan did not suffer the slightest blow, and he was even more motivated to soar. Yuan Shao was still trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket, but he still had to apologize to his descendants with a smile on his face.

Although Yuan Shao said that it was his fault, anyone could see that in this discussion, the target of criticism was directed at Yuan Ji. Even the younger generation of the clan who did not understand the truth were here. Shi also gradually chose to lean towards Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao arrived at Yuan Feng's house.

"After I went out this time, you have changed a lot. You used to be humble and respectful." Yuan Wei stood up and walked straight to Yuan Shao. The joy in his eyes was self-evident.

If he and Yuan Ji were not brothers of the same clan, he would not be able to openly support Yuan Shao, otherwise he would have to let Yuan Ji know who is the absolute authority in the family.

Speaking of which, Yuan was asking for trouble, so he had no choice but to choose Yuan Shao, who was so powerful at this juncture. When he beheaded Xianbei, he didn’t know where your uncle was. His achievements were all his own. It’s hard work drop by drop.

Similarly, what surprised him was Yuan Shu. The two brothers would fight each other whenever they met. But since this time, they have completely disappeared. The impression in his heart also began to gradually improve.

Yuan Shao bowed his hands and saluted: "Although Shao is young, he has also been in dangerous situations. Not to mention the Xianbei Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, he has also set foot in the eunuch's prison. Why should he be treated like this when he returns to the clan? That uncle Although I don’t know why they are targeting me everywhere, Shao is not afraid at all.”

Yuan Wei showed a rare smile and looked at Yuan Shao who had changed a lot from time to time. This time he set out for Liaodong, the last trace of vigor on his face had been polished away by the wind and frost. Of course, the one who had changed the most was Yuan Shao. mentality.

"Do you really not know about this in the beginning?"

Yuan Shao shook his head: "I never knew."

The meaning in Yuan Wei's eyes was very strange. He knew very well that Yuan Shao, his nephew, was hiding his feelings and never expressed his deepest emotions.

"As for what you said before, when Zheng Dang was imprisoned, did you really blame the Yuan family for not rescuing you?" Yuan Wei hit the nail on the head. He is not as stupid as Yuan Ji. He only knows how to see through it at a glance. Attack to suppress Yuan Shao.

What Yuan Wei is concerned about is that Yuan Shao, who is now famous, is very popular, but his attitude towards the Yuan family is intriguing.

As he said, in fact, the help the Yuan family could give him was minimal, and even Yuan Shu unknowingly obtained far more resources than Yuan Shao, the nominal legitimate son.

The eldest brother died young. If not, with Yuan Shao's outstanding performance now, the eldest brother would have used family prestige and political resources to lean towards him at all costs.

I really don’t know what kind of achievements Yuan Shao can achieve if this is the case.

Or maybe it's not as fast as the current Yuan Shao who can fight alone?
This thought instantly filled Yuan Wei's mind.

When he learned that his uncle had told this matter, Yuan Shao also looked quite depressed. He shook his head with some disappointment and said: "The eunuch Cao Jie was very powerful at that time. It is true that the Yuan family abandoned some insignificant people for the sake of long-term development." Normally, as a member of the Yuan family, you must learn to make your own choices, so as not to plunge the entire Yuan family into a situation of no return."

well.Yuan Shao sighed insignificantly, and his expression returned to a calm and indifferent look.

However, Yuan Wei was keenly aware that although there was no hint of resentment against the family in Yuan Shao's words, in the final analysis, his situation at that time was already quite bad, but the Yuan family was alone at this time, without any trace of it. The idea of ​​rescue would arouse some bad emotions in any clan member.

Yuan Shao is no exception, but he is very smart, or very good at hiding, and hides all these emotions deep in his heart.

Yuan Wei also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Facing such an outstanding nephew, he was quite happy, but he was also very worried.

The more outstanding people are, they will be more or less hostile to another outstanding person who occupies their own position, resources, and even all. Although Yuan Shao has not shown this emotion now, Yuan Ji has. Already quietly making plans behind the scenes.

The blame lies in Yuan Shao's origin, which makes his status in the entire clan pitifully lower than that of Yuan Ji.

This matter was well known to everyone. At the same time, Yuan Wei did not expect that Yuan Shao would be so open-minded about this matter.

In the presence of a large audience, he said these words without changing his expression.

If he had to choose a successor in his clan, he would directly target Yuan Shao.

Yuan Ji's mental skills were too deep, and going too far was not enough. Yuan Shu was a prodigal son who turned back, but his foundation was too poor.

If Yuan Shao could change his character of not caring about his own safety and often getting into dangerous situations, it would have inexplicable benefits for Yuan and even himself.

"Don't blame the clan." Yuan Wei patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"At least, your father and I are on your side."

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and some of the previous disappointments also disappeared in an instant. As if he had received a promise, Yuan Shao smiled: "Shao understands."

Yuan Wei nodded with satisfaction. Yuan Shao was extremely likable in every aspect. He didn't know why those old guys always liked to distinguish the clan's children by their direct concubines. Over time, some strangeness would inevitably arise. Could it be said that concubines are just concubines? Won't you shed your blood for the clan?Wouldn't a concubine plan everything for the clan?
No, at least Yuan Shao would not be like this. He is not such a person. He always has Yuan in his heart.

Yuan Wei has always been very accurate in reading people, and all the appearances revealed by Yuan Shao confirmed his suspicions.

"Go and have a rest. It's been a long and tiring journey back from Liaodong, but you still have to face such things when you return to the clan. It's really hard on you." Yuan Wei sighed and said softly.

"Your father is dealing with some clan affairs and cannot come to see you for the time being."

Yuan Shao quickly showed a flattered expression, bowed and bowed before leaving.

After Yuan Shao walked out, Yuan Feng, who was hiding behind the scenes, said, "Do you think Benchu ​​still has the roots of the Yuan family in his heart?"

Yuan Wei thought for a moment, looked up at Yuan Shao's back, and sighed: "I don't know, this child has been looked down upon since he was a child. Although he eventually grew up, he spent most of his time wandering around alone. The chances of taking advantage of the Yuan family are pitiful."

"That's it." Yuan Feng said, "Since Yuan is blatantly building momentum for Shiji today, he completely ignores his original emotions. In my opinion, he is no longer suitable to stay in the clan."

"Let him live outside sometime."

Yuan Wei responded: "Yuan Ji's performance today is indeed excessive, but brother, aren't you afraid that Shiji will think too much?"

"It's useless to think too much at this time. The fame that Ben Chu has gained during this period is really beyond my imagination. Even among the clan, I am afraid that the view of Ben Chu has been greatly improved by this time."

"His heart is not very reliable to the Yuan family at all. If he breaks away from the Yuan family, it will be a huge loss to the Yuan family, and it will also make other descendants of the clan have feelings of fighting against him. A If we don't handle it well, maybe the Yuan family will gradually decline." "As the head of the family, I need to make the right decision. As a descendant of the Yuan family, I can not only seek fame and benefits for my Yuan family in Liaodong, but also the tribe. , given time, Benchu ​​will definitely become a giant in Liaodong, and if the inside and outside are combined, it is not a bad idea for the Yuan family to gain supreme power."

Yuan Feng stroked his beard and expressed his opinion.

"What my brother said is absolutely true. I admire you, my foolish brother." Yuan Wei nodded in response.

Yuan Shao walked out of the courtyard and was about to return to his residence when there was sudden movement behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Yuan Shu's rather kind-looking face again.

Yuan Shu rubbed his hands and cheered for Yuan Shao: "Brother's remarks have opened my eyes. I hope that brother will not pay attention to some previous misunderstandings."

After saying that, Yuan Shu crossed his palms and bowed half of his body respectfully.

Yuan Shaodang even stepped forward to help him up, and sighed with a pleased expression on his face: "I am quite ashamed that I can have such a heart. I am young and ignorant and have many quarrels with the highway. How can it be my turn to be with the highway?" Like this."

"Brother!"

"Third brother!"

The two hugged each other and looked at each other.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Shu reluctantly left Yuan Shao on the pretext that he had something to do.

Yuan Shao was left at a loss where he was.

To be honest, Yuan Shao didn't know much about Yuan Shu.

In the past, Yuan Shu always liked to distinguish the two of them as direct concubines, and often called them slaves and maidservants. Although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied, in order to maintain the image of a respectful brother and a humble brother, he rarely initiated quarrels with him.

However, now, Yuan Shu's changes really caught him off guard. Could it be said that it was really a three-day separation and he was so impressed that he looked at him with admiration.

Looking at Yuan Shu's leaving figure, Yuan Shao thought he really understood the truth.

I hope that Xiong Gongdiqian’s words are no longer a joke.

It was getting dark, and Yuan Shao returned to his residence.

Seeing that Li Waner was already shy and ready to let go, Yuan Shao spent the night like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

The next morning, under Li Waner's affectionate eyes, she got up and went to the courtyard to practice.

But he saw Wen Chou standing outside the door.

Yuan Shao's face paused, and then he looked at the courtyard door which should have good sound insulation, and then he felt a little calmer.

Came to Wen Chou.

"You don't have to be like this in the future. You are loyal to me, not as a janitor slave for me. I will need you to build a career for me in the future. How dare you do this."

Wen Chou looked startled, then shook his head and explained: "Yuan Jun doesn't know something. This is Gong Ji's special confession. No matter where Yuan Jun is, I must guard him outside the door to prevent young people from disturbing him."

Yuan Shao pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "Could it be that when Gong Ji said you listen, he didn't listen to what I said?"

Wen Chou, who was suddenly reprimanded, quickly whispered: "No, it all depends on Yuan Jun."

"Then go and have a rest. This is my mansion. Where is Xiaoxiao? You are so sleepy, you are serious about coming. Xiaoxiao, should I protect you, or you come to protect me."

Wen Chou confessed his crime and hurried into the side room. Not long after, a sound of snoring came from the room.

Yuan Shao looked at this seemingly stubborn Wen Chou angrily. He didn't know if this guy noticed his demeanor last night.

After dealing with these matters, Yuan Shao was not in the mood to continue practicing.

He simply went directly to his mother's tomb, first paid his respects respectfully, and then sat aside with his eyes closed to meditate.

The sky is getting cooler and becoming bleak day by day.

Yuan Shao beside the tomb was thinking about how he should proceed to the next step after this new year passed.

A blitzkrieg against Xianbei and Wuhuan outside the Great Wall?Just leave this matter to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Within the Great Wall, absorb refugees, vigorously develop the population economy, and create a unique Liaodong trade center?Let Xun Chen rest assured about this matter.

Just as he was thinking about it, another gust of wind suddenly came to his ears.

"Sir, there is news." The panting Uncle Fu hurriedly hurried along, but fortunately, he finally found Yuan Shao here.

Yuan Shao opened his eyes immediately after hearing this, stood up and walked quickly to Uncle Fu, held his hand and said happily: "Where is it?"

Uncle Fu didn't bother to take a breath. Seeing that Yuan Shao was so impatient and no longer as calm as before, he knew that this person must be very important to him.

"In the Nanyang County Office, he is now a minor official in the county. As the young master said, he has a son who is suffering from illness."

Yuan Shao nodded. He returned home from this trip not only to spend the first year with Li Waner, but also to find Huang Zhong, who was regarded as the most powerful warrior in this period.

This man was over sixty years old and could fight Guan Yu in his heyday for hundreds of rounds without deciding the outcome. Even in his old age, he furiously killed Xia Houyuan, the commander of Cao Wei's Western Front, in the battle at Dingjun Mountain, which made him famous all over the world. He has a three-stone arm, a strong bow and a strong crossbow, and he has made many achievements in archery this time.

At this time, Huang Zhong was in his youth. If he could be used by Yuan Shao to shoot left and right in the area outside the fortress, Xianbei would be frightened by the news.

"Quickly, prepare your carriage and horses, and come with me to meet you."
