Beast King Three Kingdoms

() When the jade seal comes out, who will compete with it?

Under the 'power' of Yuxi, the alliance against Yuan Shu all retreated, which made Yuan Shao a little depressed, not only because the alliance was disbanded, but also because Yuan Shu got the jade seal he had dreamed of.

In Yecheng, Jizhou, Yuan Shao gathered people to discuss.

Biejia Tianfeng remonstrated: "My lord! I, Jizhou, are far away from Yuan Shu's territory, and I can't reach it. I don't need to pay attention to Yuan Shu's lord, and I should do my best to deal with Gongsun Zan."

Tian Feng advocated the strategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack, and he did not agree with Yuan Shao's crusade against Yuan Shu. After all, Jizhou and Yuan Shu's territories are far apart, and there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, and they should be able to live in harmony in a short time.

In Tian Feng's view, the ultimate goal now is to deal with Gongsun Zan, annex Youzhou, occupy Hebei, and then go south to the Central Plains to fight for world hegemony.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao scolded Tian Feng severely in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he was being educated, and said: "Yuan Hao's words are reasonable! I also know that it is not suitable to go south at this time, but Yuxi has a lot to do with it, so I have to investigate it! "

Tian Feng frowned, he was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao being so nervous about a 'stone', and was about to speak.

Ju Shou on the side came out and said: "My lord! Today the world is in chaos, the majesty of the Han Dynasty is gone, and the heroes are vying for the throne. At this time, the most important thing is to develop people's livelihood, save soldiers, horses, food and grass, and strengthen ourselves. When the world is wiped out, the jade seal It will belong to the lord, so why rush for a while?"

Ju Shou knew Yuan Shao very well, and also knew very well about Tian Feng's character. He knew that if Tian Feng continued to speak, Yuan Shao might be dissatisfied, so he spoke first, and his words were more tactful than Tian Feng's.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao listened to Ju Shou's words, although he still didn't agree in his heart, his complexion became much better.

"Ju Gong's words are wrong!"

Just as Ju Shou finished speaking, Guo Tu came out leisurely and said: "The jade seal is a symbol of imperial power, how can it fall into the hands of others?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt himself greatly, nodded and said, "What Gong Ze said is true!"

Seeing Yuan Shao's praise, Guo Tu glanced at Jushou proudly, and then said flatteringly: "Now the emperor is trapped in Chang'an, controlled by Xiliang thieves, and the world is covered with dust. The lord is the former leader of the coalition army, and everyone expects him. Before the emperor is rescued, he should be The lord holds the jade seal and will return it later when the emperor is rescued."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed. Earlier in Luoyang, Sun Jian had taken the jade seal, which made Yuan Shao hate it so much that he could barely sleep at night.

Later, when he learned of Sun Jian's death, Yuan Shao congratulated him a lot, and at the same time sent a large number of spies to secretly search for the whereabouts of Yuxi and look for an opportunity to seize it.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, since Sun Jian was dead and his heirs had not yet grown up, it would be easy to seize the jade seal at this moment.

Unexpectedly, before Yuan Shao could make a move, Yuan Shu wiped Jiangdong down with thunder.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu killed Sun Jian's old tribe, and even exterminated all nine clans, shocking the world, the family denounced, and all the princes responded, and then the news of Yuxi was heard, and the wind reversed.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, the Sun family has also been wiped out, and Yuxi has naturally fallen into Yuan Shu's hands.

For his younger brother, Yuan Shao hated seeing him since he was a child, and now that Yuan Shu got the jade seal that he regarded as his own, he hated it even more.

What Guo Tu said hit Yuan Shao's heart.

At that moment, Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu appreciatively, and said sternly, "That's right! The jade seal belongs to the Son of Heaven, and must not fall into the hands of others. I am the lord of the alliance, and I shall be in charge of the jade seal, which will be returned to the Son of Heaven in the future."

"Hey! Gonglu, if you don't return the jade seal, I will call on all the heroes in the world to attack together, and we will see how you respond when the time comes." Yuan Shao thought proudly.

"My lord, don't do it!" A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Yuan Shao's fantasy.

Yuan Shao was addicted to fantasy and couldn't extricate himself, but was interrupted by someone's words, and his heart suddenly burst into flames.

Looking around, I saw the judges striding out of the queue and came to the center to stand still.

Seeing that it was a trial match, Yuan Shao suppressed the anger in his heart, put on a gentle look, and asked: "Since Zhengnan said this, there must be a reason, please teach me."

Shen Pei was born in a powerful family, although his family is not as good as the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family, it should not be underestimated.

Yuan Shao had just won Jizhou not long ago, and his foothold was not stable.

Moreover, without the huge resources of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao urgently needs the support of various forces at this moment. The family where the trial match is located is an important target for Yuan Shao to win over, so Yuan Shao is very polite to him, which is far from being comparable to others.

The examiner cupped his hands and said, "Maybe my lord has forgotten about Taifu Yuan Kui?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's complexion changed drastically, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Since the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Kai has been under Yuan Shao's control. No one dares to mention it, for fear of exposing Yuan Shao's scars and causing innocent disasters.

"What exactly does Zhengnan mean?" Yuan Shao asked indifferently, his expression was not as good as before, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the trial assignment.

"In the previous campaign against Dong Zhuo, the lord won the position of leader, but his prestige dropped sharply due to Yuan Taifu's incident. Now the lord's reputation has just recovered a bit. If you mention the agreement of the former lord at this time, you will definitely reveal this matter together. Don't talk about getting the jade seal in time, I'm afraid the prestige accumulated so hard by the lord will be lost." The examiner said with a serious face.

The trial analysis was indeed very reasonable, and Yuan Shao couldn't help hesitating when he heard it.

Seeing Yuan Shao hesitate, Guo Tu glared fiercely at the judge, his eyes were extremely vicious.

The judge did not show any weakness, and stared back.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is not good, all because of Yuan Shao's heir.

Yuan Shao was ten years older than Yuan Shu, and at the same time he did not have any children like Yuan Shu. Not long after they got married, the eldest son Yuan Tan was born, and then the second and third sons were born one after another.

At this time, Yuan Shao's sons had grown up.

As Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, his eldest son Yuan Tan and third son Yuan Shang had begun to fight for the position of heir. The two brothers actively wooed Yuan Shao's subordinates, civil and military, and each formed a faction, including Guo Tu and Shen Pei.

Among them, Guo Tu supported the eldest son Yuan Tan, while the trial match supported the third son Yuan Shang.

As a result, the relationship between the two can't get better even if they think about it, and they continue to fight openly and secretly with each other, and even moved this fight to the temple in a grandiose manner.

Whenever Guo Tu speaks out, the judge will definitely come out to object, and vice versa.

Three of his advisers have clearly opposed it, which made Yuan Shao a little discouraged, thinking: "Could it be that Yuxi has no destiny with me? Why did I miss it twice?"

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao turned his attention to the rest of the people.

Xun Chen did not say anything, but his nephew Xun You is now under Yuan Shu's command. It is said that although Xun You has not joined for a long time, he has won Yuan Shu's trust and relies heavily on him.

Yuan Shao angered Xun Chen for this, and he no longer trusted him as before.

In fact, in this chaotic world, in order to protect the family, the major families have implemented the strategy of cunning rabbits and three caves, so that the children of the family will be divided into various princes, just like the brothers Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin later.

The Xun family is obviously not optimistic about Yuan Shao, especially after Xun Yu abandoned Yuan Shao, now Xun Chen is the only one who is still serving under Yuan Shao's command, and the family has no support for Yuan Shao, which makes Yuan Shao very angry , and even disliked Xun Chen, and gradually alienated him.

Xun Chen didn't say a word, and Yuan Shao ignored him, turning his eyes to the last person.

This person is Xu You, who is well-known in later generations.

The relationship between Xu You and Yuan Shao is unusual. The two have known each other since they were young, and Xu You has always been Yuan Shao's staunch supporter.

Seeing Yuan Shao's gaze, Xu You pondered for a moment, and said, "My lord! Although the jade seal is good, it is also hot to handle, just like Dong Zhuo. In the past, Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang by force and took the emperor to command the world. His power was overwhelming, but in the end he attracted the siege of the princes. , had to retreat to Guanzhong. The lesson from the past is still there, how can the lord make the same mistake?"

Hearing Xu Youzhi's words, Yuan Shao secretly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking: "Yes! I hold the jade seal, and the princes of the world will definitely look sideways. They may not attack me like they attacked Dong Zhuo in the past. If so, then..."

Yuan Shao didn't dare to think any further, and said with lingering fear: "If it wasn't for Ziyuan's words, I still don't know!"

This remark undoubtedly completely dispelled the thought of Yuxi, and Ju Shou and Tian Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, Guo Tu rolled his eyes and offered a plan: "My lord! Since the jade seal is so hot, my lord can unite with other princes to force Yuan Shu to return to the court. The temptation of the jade seal is so great that the world is hard to resist, so Yuan Shu will definitely refuse. My lord can then accuse him of wanting to steal the jade seal for himself, and Yuan Shu will definitely be cast aside by the people of the world."

After Yuan Shao heard this, his heart was so moved that he just wanted to agree.

Suddenly, I saw Shen Pei jumping up, pointing at Guo Tu and scolding: "Are you trying to destroy the reputation of the lord? What happened to the Yuan Taifu before has made the lord suffer the bad name of being a crippled relative. If you do this again, the world will surely die." It is said that the lord is ungrateful and ungrateful, and even his own brothers are incompatible. How could such a huge disappointment be done?"

Yuan Shao's personality was already vacillating, and he hesitated immediately after hearing what the judge said.

Guo Tu glanced at the reviewer angrily, and his triangular eyes rolled around.

"Hey!" Guo Tu gave a strange laugh, he had a plan in mind, and pretended to look at the judge with disdain, and said, "This is naturally not suitable for my lord to do, but there are many people who are greedy for Yuan Shu to get the jade seal. It takes a little provocation, and someone will stand up."

The examiner was furious at Guo Tu's disdainful eyes, and forced himself to say: "Yuan Shu is so powerful that he almost occupies the land of two states. Except for the lord, only Dong Zhuo has the strength to fight against him. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Xiliang's army is in disarray, they definitely dare not offend Yuan Shu. So who dares to blame Yuan Shu?"

Guo Tu spoke freely and confidently: "Although Yuan Shu is strong, his influence is biased towards the south, and has little influence in the Central Plains and the North. Besides, Yuan Shu has just captured Jiangdong and has not yet gained a firm foothold. He will definitely not march elsewhere at this time. The other princes certainly understand this truth, so why would they not dare to criticize because they are afraid of Yuan Shu's power?"

The judge was speechless, hating Guo Tu to death in his heart.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and asked, "Who does the Lord think is feasible?"

This actually stopped Guo Tu.

Guo Tu just came up with this method just now because he was forced by the audition. How could he come up with a comprehensive plan in such a short time?

At this time Yuan Shao asked, Guo Tu couldn't help but see a little sweat on his face.
