Lord Yuan

Chapter 227 You and I are both the Yuan family
In fact, speaking of it, Yuan Shao didn't have much opinion on that part of his clan.

After all, even Cao Cao's family in-laws could produce world-famous tiger and leopard cavalry, and all of them were elite.

Speaking of which, the Yuan family was more prestigious than the Cao family at this time.

However, there are few generals in the clan who are good at fighting, and there are quite a few who live on empty pay.

Perhaps because of the years of pampering and pampering, although he did not immediately show the fatigue of a young man from an aristocratic family, in the face of troubled times, he was still unable to achieve the feat of saving the world.

Just at this moment, Yuan Shao thought of a series of questions.

Regardless of whether the Yuan family is good or bad, after all, it is still its own family. Due to emotions and reasons, as a Weiwei, it seems that it is natural for him to start raising the banner of seeking development for the Yuan family.

However, the private troops that Yuan Shao needed, strictly speaking, relied solely on the generals and soldiers of Liaodong. Although they would not be able to sweep across Kyushu and find no opponents, in the end they were still somewhat stretched when facing the strength of the entire Han Dynasty.

At this time, these side branches of the clan wanted to vassal and support, and Yuan Shao had no reason to refuse.

"The Yuan family is a great power in the world, with disciples all over the world. Now the head of the family is in charge, and brother Shiji is here. Why did you choose me?"

In response to this, these people did not change their expressions and chuckled: "Everyone in the world knows about me, the Yuan family, but they don't know that I, the Yuan family, have a Qilin son like Mr. Yuan. Although I have Yuan Ji in front of me, if I want to make Yuan family do it... To be big and strong, only Langjun has such a talent that knows the world."

"Yes, Lang Jun's prestige has long been famous throughout the nine states, which is beyond the reach of others."

However, Yuan Shao smiled and waved his hands and said, "Uncles have already spoken. I wonder how many of us are here today?"

The old man hurriedly spoke: "Including the few cousins ​​who have not come yet, there are three hundred people. Don't feel short of me, Mr. Lang. These are my outstanding disciples."

Not only did Yuan Shao not feel less, he was even a little surprised.

300 people may not be considered a big deal in troubled times, but in terms of the current situation, and in the Yuan clan, even if they are from a lower level than him, a bastard who has always been judged by Yuan Shu. side branch.

I have to say that these people brought him quite a few surprises.

The power Yuan Shao can use now is actually only a hundred white horse followers.

Yuan Shao thought for a while and then slowly said: "You know that I am a Weiwei now and I am supposed to protect Luoyang. The Yellow Turbans are raging and the people are in dire straits. There is no way I can return to the capital this time. Your Majesty will ask me to attack the Yellow Turbans again. Life and death here are unpredictable. , beyond my control.”

They had already thought of this question, and several people smiled and nodded.

"There is no need to bother Mr. Lang. Since they have followed Mr. Lang, life and death are two separate things. If they don't make a name for themselves, they don't have to come back to my clan."

"As for what Lang Jun said, attacking the Yellow Turbans, in my opinion, is the best time to train them. If they are lucky enough to gain some military merit, it will be their own good fortune."

Yuan Shao said with satisfaction: "In that case, I hope that we can recruit them as soon as possible and bring them all to my Yuan Mansion. We will make our own arrangements."

Yuan Shao has clearly seen their path.

Especially the old man in the lead.

Although he has always kept a low profile as much as possible, and even the life of a descendant of the Yuan family seems to have become a tool that can be discarded at will in his mouth, Yuan Shao does not think so.

As children of the Yuan family, these people will essentially have a stronger body than ordinary Li Shu people. Even some of the utensils and armor used are all provided by the Yuan family themselves. Although the side branches are weak, they are only related to the Yuan family. Compared with the main house.

What they asked for was simple.

Despite the miserable situation these side branches keep describing, in fact they live a more comfortable life than anyone else.

Although there are no high-ranking officials in Luoyang, and there is no corresponding protection from powerful people, just a Yuan family sign can already represent everything.

However, it is obvious that these side branches are not willing to continue to serve as the green leaves of the Yuan family.

They also want to bloom some different brilliant fireworks on this Kyushu.

After careful consideration, I learned that Yuan Shao has now become the ninth minister, and has completely surpassed Yuan Ji in terms of reputation and official rank.

Therefore, they strongly believe that in time, no one but Yuan Shao will become the next head of the Yuan family.

And if they try their best to help Yuan Shao at a stage when Yuan Shao doesn't seem to be completely on the rise, they may be able to count themselves as a slave to the dragon in the future.

Most of the people in the clan chose to defect to Yuan Ji, but the old man saw clearly.

Going to Yuan Ji would be the icing on the cake at best. How could Yuan Shao be so direct and provide help in times of need.

Although, he didn't know that in comparison, defecting to Yuan Shao was the real icing on the cake.

But Yuan Shao was not interested in these three hundred people.

This represents a recognition.

As a concubine, he was recognized by his tribe.

From this, the road to counterattack can be completely launched.

One life two, two beget three.

After the first time, are we afraid that there won’t be a second time?

With Yuan Shao's brains, it only takes a very short time to quickly arm an army.

It just so happened that he was now a guard and had the right to recruit troops. He included these units and filled them into the ranks of Luoyang's Southern Army. He tried his best to occupy the chief position among them, so as to slowly and imperceptibly make the Southern Army's true strength The authority is completely transferred to oneself.

Yuan Shao has roughly calculated that with the current strength of Luoyang's three armies and his current strength alone, even if all the military forces of Liaodong attack, he will not be able to gain any advantage at all.

After all, compared with the absolute armed force supported by the power of the whole country, Yuan Shao's power is already dwarfed.

"Everyone, this matter is settled, but I will say something ugly up front."

"Mr. Sir, please speak!"

"Anyone who disobeys my orders, even though they are members of the same clan, will still be punished in order to uphold military law. Don't think I'm joking."

"That's natural. I will definitely make it clear to them when I get back. Being able to become the husband's servant is a blessing they can't get, and there's no reason not to cherish it."

"As long as he fulfills his responsibilities with all his heart, I will naturally choose the opportunity to promote him. Although it is unlikely that he will be given such a powerful position as a lieutenant general, he may be promoted to a battalion commander, and no matter how hard he works, he may be promoted to a school captain."

"Then I will thank Mr. Lang for their kindness for the time being."

No one thought what Yuan Shao said was a blank check.

It can be said that now Yuan Shao has completely become synonymous with fame. Even His Majesty often chooses to recruit Yuan Shao for advice. Even Yang Ci, who is the emperor's master, is not as shocked as Yuan Shao in front of Liu Hong. .

Under this situation, Yuan Shao actually had great autonomy in the appointment and dismissal of such officials. As long as it did not fall within the red line, Liu Hong would choose to turn a blind eye.

Of course, having a good relationship doesn’t mean you don’t have to charge money.

Even Yang Ci, the imperial master, was given a symbolic levy of 2000 million yuan when he was appointed as Taiwei.

This is Liu Hong's way of life.

Anyone who sees it has a share, and no one will miss it.

After they retreated, Zhao Yun appeared.

Next to him was Yuan Tan, who seemed to have become a little fanboy.

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "The young master is quite smart, and he is also good at shooting. Although he is still immature, his power of opening and closing can make people fearful!"

Hearing the security captain, who was said to have been protecting his father's safety, say this about himself, Yuan Tan suddenly burst into laughter.

really.

Yuan Tan's talent has begun to show since he was a child.Since Yuan Tan is the eldest son, he should have no worries about food and clothing. He only needs to play and play all day long. With Yuan Shao taking care of him, there is no need for him to do this.

But he still chose to do it.

This is also the way Li Waner often teaches Yuan Tan.

Don't think that being born in the Yuan family means you don't have to work hard anymore, even if your starting point is completely beyond the vast majority of people.

Future achievements will ultimately depend on how hard you work. Although the family power behind it accounts for the majority of the share, Li Waner has never told Yuan Tan about this.

When she had nothing to do, she would tell Yuan Shao's experience. Even though Yuan Shao was a concubine, he was eventually adopted and became a legitimate son, and then went to Liaodong. Li Waner basically did not miss these things.

On the other hand, Yuan Tan's own character is almost completely inherited from Yuan Shao's. He is calm and resolute in dealing with things. Whenever he takes action, he will definitely kill.

Yuan Shao's behavior is subtly changing Yuan Tan's inherent thoughts little by little.

"Zilong, is there any news from Liaodong?"

Zhao Yun was shocked when Yuan Shao suddenly changed the topic, but quickly returned to normal.

His expression was a little uncertain, and he looked around and saw that no one was around. Only Yuan Tan was bored.

"But it doesn't matter, it's time for Tan'er to grow up."

Yuan Tan's eyes were full of confusion.

The messenger who was supposed to arrive several days in advance rushed to Runan without stopping after learning that Yuan Shao had returned home.

Zhao Yun rushed over after getting the news.

Yuan Shao glanced at the message in the letter, his eyes gradually became serious, and even his brows furrowed tightly.

After a long time, Yuan Shao smiled freely.

"Ziyuan is indeed a wise man. Such changes have made me safe from any danger."

Yuan Shao informed Zhao Yun of the general content.

When he heard that Xu You was calm in the face of danger, Zhao Yun immediately showed an expression of appreciation.

I don’t know how Yuan Jun recognized such a resourceful person. Although he was usually arrogant, Zhao Yun already admired him after getting along with him.

Talented people are inherently arrogant.

Xu You is just the best among them.

Whether it is changeable talents and learning, or an arrogant attitude.

It can be said that Xu You is at the forefront.

However, Yuan Shao smiled and recounted some of the things that had happened.

When he learned that Yuan Jun was so energetic, he was quite surprised.

As far as he knew, Yuan Jun never seemed to show a trace of panic, and almost always maintained an absolute calmness.

Yuan Shao smiled and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder again.

"The fact that I was able to win a son is like a tiger with wings added to my body. I am so courageous that I have convinced countless people. How can I not see that even a little boy like me is like this!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun postponed again and again. There is a hierarchy of priorities. Yuan Tan is Yuan Jun's direct son, and he is just a family general. Although he can control Yuan Jun's elite, he knows very well that this is a gift from Yuan Jun, and there is no such thing as Yuan Jun. , how could he, Zhao Yun, have a chance to become famous?

While at home on vacation, Yuan Shao also had a rare few quiet days.

Apart from going to pay homage to her mother's grave, the rest was to accompany Li Waner and Yuan Tan.

Even Yuan Feng wisely chose to avoid this period of time.

Husbands and wives who haven't seen each other for more than ten years are bound to do something.

No matter the time, vacation time always goes by the fastest.

It's time to part again.

Li Wan'er's pretty eyes showed some mist, and Yuan Tan, who was holding her hand at the side, also looked depressed.

After a few more disgusting and sensational words, Yuan Shao said goodbye to his father Yuan Feng, uncle Yuan Wei, etc., and set off on the journey again.

Going to Luoyang this time, Yuan Shao had already secretly planned his plan.

This Luoyang is not a long-term residence.

Under the emperor's feet, no matter what you do, you always have to take care of a lot of things, which is far less comfortable than in Liaodong.

At the same time, the Yellow Turbans are now gradually evolving into a nationwide resistance movement. It can be said that there is war in all directions, everywhere as far as the naked eye can see.

In order to reach Luoyang safely, Yuan Shao's group was naturally ready.

With the support of three hundred people from the side, Yuan Shao was more confident.

There are more than 400 well-equipped Han troops. As long as these thieves and bandits along the way are not a crazy couple, they will not choose such a decision that is almost seeking death.

What's more, the bright characters Yuan on the carriage frightened the bandits even more.

Yuan Shao also gave enough respect to this group of fellow clan members who planned to rely on him.

Each person was also given a thousand dollars directly.

Even if he pays for all the expenses along the way.

Of course, these people were also quite surprised by Yuan Shao, who was famous among the clan.

After learning that they were roughly the same age, these people immediately became uneasy.

Looking at Yuan Shao's majestic posture, and thinking that he comes from the Yuan family, Yuan Shao's current achievements are all due to his own efforts.

However, Yuan Shao did not show a good look at this group of arrogant offshoots of the Yuan clan.

He looked gloomy towards this group of idle fellow clan members.

"Anyone who is unwilling can retreat on his own at this time. In order to make up for your losses these days, you can go to Yuan Mansion to receive a salary."

"Lang Jun was joking. Most of us have never left Runan. Now that we are suddenly away from home, it is really uncomfortable."

"Lang Jun's deeds have long been known to those of us in Chicheng. There is no intention of betraying Yuan Jun."

Yuan Shao's face softened slightly.

"It's just that I don't know that Yuan Jun is now a guard and a nine minister, so how can he like us?"

Side branches will always be side branches, and no one can change this situation. They are unwilling to give up any opportunity to climb up.

In the past, no one would have made such a decision to become a guard's personal tribe. On the one hand, without rebellions like the Yellow Turbans, the chances of killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds became extremely slim.

"You and I are both the Yuan family!"
