The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 313 Chapter 312
Following Ju Shou's roar, everyone present was speechless, and their faces showed guilt.

After all, Jushou is still a military adviser, enjoying the power of arbitrariness and arbitrariness. He has never participated in party struggles, and he has won Yuan Shao's trust. Together with Tian Feng, he has become Yuan Shao's right-hand man.

Originally, since ancient times, the elders and younger ones have been orderly, and the matter of establishing an heir does not need to be so troublesome at all. Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan must be the successor.

However, Yuan Shang is both civil and military, and he is deeply loved by Yuan Shao. He also secretly assisted Shenpei and Pang Ji. However, Shenpei and Pang Ji have always been at odds with Guo Tu and Xin Ping. The situation of Pang Ji can be imagined.

Therefore, Shen Pei and Pang Ji took the initiative to seek refuge under Yuan Shang's sect, planning for him to seize the throne, and wantonly placed cronies in key positions, and even took the initiative to win over the generals in the army.

It can be said that within the territory of Jizhou, Yuan Shang's party occupies half of the military and government, and among the remaining half, there are neutral factions like Jushou, Tian Feng, Xu You, and Xun Chen, while those who belong to Yuan Tan's party account for only half of the military affairs. Only [-]% of them, except that he is the eldest son, the rest are unable to compete with Yuan Shangxiang.Therefore, the call for Yuan Shang to take over his father's career is the highest, and it is already the general trend.

Although Yuan Tan has made great military achievements, he is unpopular in the political circle. Judging from the fact that when he attacked Qingzhou, he went on to massacre the city in a fit of anger, which aroused the civil uprising in Qingzhou, Yuan Tan does not seem to have the ability to be a master, at least However, Yuan Tan didn't think about the impact that would be caused after the massacre of the city.

Among Yuan Shao's three sons, the second son, Yuan Xi, had always been aloof from the world, and had no interest in taking over his father's business. Therefore, the fight for power and profit fell on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Jushou has always been an official in Yecheng. Although he did not participate in party struggles, these things cannot be hidden from him. At first, because Yuan Shao was still in his prime, no matter how much the two parties fought for power, it would not affect his interests. After all, Yuan Shao is not dead. No matter how much you fight, it's useless.

But now, Yuan Shao has gone west, who will take over the foundation created by Yuan Shao is an imminent matter.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. Although Yuan Shao is not an emperor, he is still a vassal and the overlord of Hebei. Now that he is dead, someone must inherit his inheritance.

Ju Shou thought for a moment, and then said: "The matter of setting up an heir is related to the overall situation. How can it be so hasty? After the filial piety period for the lord expires, we will mention this matter! Two days later, please be in Yecheng. , all officials above the county magistrate went to the meeting hall to discuss the matter of establishing an heir collectively. As the left military adviser appointed by the lord, I should shoulder this burden!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay. Everyone had their own ghosts and secretly guessed why Ju Shou, who had always been indifferent to the world, suddenly wanted to provoke such a heavy burden?

However, no one dared to disobey Jushou's intentions, even Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were bowing to Jushou at this stage.

Because Jushou had half a soldier talisman in his hand, and he had the power to be arbitrary. When Yuan Shao was alive, he divided his soldier talisman into two. Seeing the soldier talisman is the same as seeing Yuan Shao himself, no one is allowed to disobey, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!

Yuan Shao died on the battlefield, and his body was taken away by Zhang Yan's army. The soldier talisman naturally fell into Zhang Yan's hands, and the remaining soldier talisman became the only token for mobilizing all the troops in Hebei.

At this time, Jushou also knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. After Yuan Shao's death, the situation in Hebei was controlled by him alone, so that it was stable and did not cause turmoil.

When Yuan Shao was alive, Ju Shou was unwilling to interfere too much in military affairs, but only advised Yuan Shao on major policies, and all decisions were in Yuan Shao's hands.Because, he knew that Yuan Shao was a person who was lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, if he acted extremely strong, then he would not be able to live for such a long time.

Now that Yuan Shao is gone, he must take over Yuan Shao's foundation. He absolutely does not want to see Yuan Shao's sons killing each other in order to fight for power and profit, which will eventually lead to internal strife in the whole of Hebei.In that case, Zhang Yan would take advantage of the situation, and it would be difficult for the Yuan family to gain a foothold in Hebei, and they would even be completely wiped out by Zhang Yan, let alone revenge.

Keeping filial piety should be the sons' business. Ju Shou drove everyone away, leaving only Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang kneeling in front of the mourning hall, and sent someone to Youzhou to inform Yuan Xi that he should return to Yecheng to observe filial piety.

Everyone left one by one, and Ju Shou called Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to his side, looked at them first, and then said: "I will ask the two young masters a question now, and please ask the two young masters to think about it before going back." answer me."

Yuan Tan said: "Military Master, if you have any questions, just ask."

Yuan Shang also hurriedly said: "That's right, military advisor, just ask."

Ju Shou was silent for a moment, looking thoughtful, and after a while, he asked: "If one of you becomes the lord, how will you govern Hebei, and how will you avenge the old lord?"

After Yuan Tan finished listening, he just wanted to open his mouth, but Ju Shou took the first step, looked at Yuan Tan with a gloomy face, and said sharply: "Don't rush to speak, and answer my question after you have thought it over! I will give the two young masters a stick of incense." After a stick of incense, you will answer my questions one by one!"

Yuan Tan then closed his mouth, frowned, and shouted in his heart: "What's there to think about, of course it is to recruit soldiers, train the army, and then find Zhang Yan for revenge!"

Yuan Shang also fell into deep thinking. Regarding the issue of Jushou, he began to use his brains, assuming himself to be a lord, how to govern Hebei, and how to avenge his father.

Ju Shou stood aside, observing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang carefully. He saw that Yuan Tan was indifferent, while Yuan Shang was deep in thought, and he had already seen the difference between the two.Whether the two answered what they heard was another matter.

After a stick of incense, Ju Shou asked, "Which one of you will answer first?"

Yuan Tan did his part, and immediately said: "If I become the lord, I will definitely recruit troops first, then train the army, and try to fight Zhang Yan as soon as possible to avenge my father."

After hearing this, Ju Shou didn't show any expression, and immediately turned to Yuan Shang and said, "Third Young Master, what about you?"

"There is a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Now that our army has been newly defeated, morale is low, and my father died tragically at the hands of Zhang Yan. The hearts of the soldiers are all fluctuating. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. In my opinion Judging from the current strength of the army, self-protection is by no means a problem, so, instead of rushing to recruit troops and expand armaments, we should try to make the people live a stable life, and after a few years, depending on the situation, it will not be too late to expand the army.” Yuan Shang replied.

After hearing this, Ju Shou still didn't have a point of view, then bid farewell to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and went straight out of the mourning hall.

Ju Shou left, but regarding the answers of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, I already had a spectrum in my heart. They were indeed two different types of people. Yuan Tan had well-developed limbs and a simple mind. lord.In comparison, he prefers Yuan Shang's answer. Yuan Shang is gentle and elegant, and his understanding of things is far beyond his imagination. Yuan Shang's answer is exactly what he thinks in his heart, and the two of them coincide.

However, Jushou was in a difficult situation, no matter if he asked someone to succeed Yuan Shao, he would definitely offend the other party, and how could the person in the upper position let the other party go?

Regarding the matter of establishing an heir, Ju Shou really needs to think carefully about it. He must not be hasty or impulsive.

When Jushou returned home, before his buttocks were warmed up, the doorman came to report that Shenpei and Pang Ji had come to visit.

Without asking too much, Ju Shou knew the reason for Shen Pei and Pang Ji's visit, and they must have come to persuade him to lean towards Yuan Shang.

Jushou asked Shenpei and Pang Ji to welcome them into the mansion, and greeted them in the hall. After some pleasantries, Shenpei and Pang Ji went straight to the point, saying bad things about Yuan Tan and good things about Yuan Shang at the same time. , and hope that Jushou can carefully consider Yuan's country.

Ju Shou perfunctoryly said a few words to Shen Pei and Pang Ji, and did not give an accurate answer. He just talked about it until that day, and he didn't think so much now.

After Jianpei and Pang Ji left, Guo Tu and Xin Ping came to visit again. Ju Shou welcomed Guo Tu and Xin Ping into the mansion as usual. Pei and Pang Ji arbitrarily appointed cronies to confuse Yuan Shang with ulterior motives. They also said that Yuan Tan was the eldest son and grandson with great military achievements and should be his heir.

Ju Shou didn't say too much to Guo Tu and Xin Ping, just a few perfunctory words, and then sent them away.

The matter of establishing an heir is of great importance, and Ju Shou did not dare to make a rash decision, and he himself was also troubled, not only sighed heavily, but said to himself: "It would be great if Yuan Hao was by my side, Then we can discuss and discuss..."

"Father!"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from outside, which surprised Jushou. This voice belonged to his son Juhu.

The news that Juhu was captured by Zhang Yan had already reached his ears. When he knew the news, he was still sad for a while, but for the sake of the overall situation, he did not send troops to rescue Juhu. Life and death are destiny, and whether Juhu lives or dies depends on his fortune.

At this time, Juhu came back suddenly, which surprised Jushou very much. He ran out in a hurry, and he saw his son Juhu with a dusty face. For a while, he couldn't control his excitement, and tears filled his eyes.

"Father, the child is not filial, and the child worries the father outside." Juhu knelt down in front of Jushou, with tears in his eyes.

Jushou wiped away his tears, patted Juhu's shoulder lightly, and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."
