Lord Yuan

Chapter 47 Bet
Guo Tu had now turned into the defeated Wei soldier. He could only slump beside his seat, his eyes full of shock.

As a result, Yuan Shao's debate won applause from the whole hall, and was also accepted by these Yingchuan scholars who claimed to be noble.

His reputation is worthy of being Master Li's student.

"Are you willing to admit defeat?"

In fact, Yuan Shao did not say that he was sure of victory until Guo Tu proposed using Shang Jun's method to debate.

It is extremely difficult to fight Guo Tu to a draw.

He didn't even expect that Guo Tu would jump into the trap that had been perfectly hidden.

Although Guo Tu was very reluctant, he also didn't want to believe that he would lose in this way.

But in front of this Yingchuan scholar, Guo Tushang couldn't act like a rogue.

He simply climbed up with difficulty while holding on to the handrail on the side. When he caught a glimpse of Yuan Shao's eyes, Guo Tu secretly felt cruel, but his face still looked indifferent.

"I am willing to admit defeat when I bet. Since I have already lost, I can certainly afford to lose."

"What if you don't know where to start?"

He doesn't believe it anymore.

In Yingchuan County, relying on the reputation of Guo Gongze and the prestige of the Guo family, the man in front of him dared to come up with all kinds of tricky excuses.

Yuan Shao smiled.

"I only need Gong Zhi to personally promise to me that within three years the Tingwei will have no choice but to arrest our division for various reasons, that's all."

Guo Tu's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. Due to the failure of the debate and the intimidation from Yuan Shao, his face had already turned pale and scary.

"Don't think that Wei Ting is my uncle. Is it possible for you to feel at ease?"

Yuan Shao quietly approached Guo Tu, almost touching his ear, and whispered softly: "Don't you know that Guo Tingwei has always been loyal and honest to others?"

After a short pause, Yuan Shao's voice was raised slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, not enough for the scholars who were a little further away to hear clearly, but just enough for Guo Tu to clearly feel Yuan Shao's changes.

"If I knew that you would behave like this, I'm afraid the Tingwei would not be able to send someone to arrest you overnight and take you to prison for interrogation?"

Guo Tu's heart trembled, but he glanced at Yuan Shao's calm eyes again.

"It's just a few beatings. Is it possible that uncle can chop off my head?"

"What's more, I know at one step that Tingwei doesn't care about the sand in his eyes, so how can he force me to do such a difficult thing?"

Yuan Shao shook his head to himself.

"That's not what I'm considering. Anyway, my words have been brought to you today. If Gongzhi can't do it in one day, I can tell Ting Wei everything I heard today."

Guo Tu was really discouraged by Yuan Shao's series of threats. Looking at the fellow county scholars in the distance who wanted to throw their ears over to listen to this matter, he became even more angry.

But if he agreed to this, Guo Tu was afraid that he would not be able to influence his uncle's decision.

If he doesn't agree, looking at this person's attitude, I'm afraid that within a few days, an anonymous letter will appear in his uncle's mansion.

Guo Tu thinks it's nine out of ten possible.

However, today I am controlled by others.

"Tingwei is the ninth minister of the imperial court, so he can only do his best."

Yuan Shao smiled, looked at Guo Tu who was squeezed into the color of pig liver, and tried to figure out the problem: "I believe Gongze must have a way to make Tingwei listen to you."

While Guo Tu agreed, he was also confused.

Li Ying's reputation is well known all over the world. Even the emperor of the current dynasty dared to confront him in front of the palace without fear at all and was able to escape intact.

The eunuchs who were in power in the Luoyang court were all afraid of Li Ying, so they became timid, fearing that Li Ying, who was the captain of the Sili school, would demolish their homes overnight.

Although he was involved in the disaster of party control and was dismissed, Yu Yingchuan County is still a well-known celebrity in the world, and the target of scholars vying to rely on.

How could such a person be arrested by Tingwei?

Guo Tu couldn't understand, but he planned to send this person away first.

As for the future, who can say clearly.Anyway, in his opinion, this was a completely false thing, so what could he do if he agreed to it for the time being.

"Then I'll just take my word for it. I wonder if today's farce will be over?"

Yuan Shao smiled happily: "This is not a farce, this is a struggle, a political struggle through and through."

Guo Tu's mind was filled with dark thoughts. Why did this man always not play his cards according to the routine?

It was obviously just an ordinary debate. It was nothing more than falling into the trap of others because of my stupidity, and thus paying a small price.

Guo Tu just wants to stay away from this person as soon as possible. Even the idea of ​​​​removing this person's name from the beginning has now disappeared.

He didn't want to have anything to do with this man anymore.

"Then I'll go down." Yuan Shao almost reached the end, turned around and said with a smile.

Guo Tu looked indignant. How could this man be so ignorant of praise?

Ignoring Yuan Shao, he straightened his appearance, called Zhao Si, and walked straight to the front desk.

As the son of an aristocratic family, he should have an attitude towards this debate.

Even if he is the loser.

"Everyone, you have all seen that he won the debate today. I have agreed to his request. Today's banquet is all thanks to your support. I am very grateful."

Guo Tu said a lot of scene talk, and everyone below heard it.

It's a good name.

Guo Tu’s broad mind.

In fact, it was just Guo Tu's wishful thinking. He gave an inspiring speech on the stage.

The audience was yawning again and again. After all, it was late at night. In addition, Guo Tu's previous decadent posture made these Yingchuan scholars feel inferior to others. Therefore, facing Guo Tu's speech now, they did not give him any face.

Yuan Shao looked at this scene, just like he did when he was listening to the lecture in the audience.

But when Yuan Shao walked off the stage, he turned around.

"But Xun Chen Xun Youruo?"

Xun Chen looked at the victor who suddenly arrived, but he couldn't figure out what he meant for the moment, so he tried his best to show a friendly smile.

"Exactly, what do you call me brother?"

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​are not worth mentioning."

When Xun Chen heard that it was Yuan, his calm eyes suddenly became restless, and he looked at the posture and bearing of the man in front of him.

I looked at it secretly in my heart.

If he is really a descendant of the Yuan family, with such magnanimity and resourcefulness, it would be normal for him to suppress Guo Gongze.

"Brother is no small person."

Yuan Shao's figure stopped in front of Xun Chen, which naturally attracted the attention of many scholars.

Could it be that he had just challenged Guo Tu, the representative of the Legalist theory, and he wanted to challenge Xun Youruo again?

This kind of good show is really rare today.

Xun Chen was not like Guo Tu. He was always humble and respectful in Yingchuan and never had any disputes with others.

Everyone was quietly waiting for Yuan Shao's next move. They wanted to see what this man planned.

Yuan Shao acted as if there was no one around and took out the letter Xu You gave him from his arms.

Passed it into the hands of Xun Chen who was confused.

"Xu You of Nanyang asked me to send you this letter. Please take a look at it."
