The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 314 313 Uninvited guests

Jushou and Juhu father and son returned to the hall together. Jushou adjusted his mood, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, weren't you captured? How did you come back?"

Juhu said: "Father, to tell the truth, it was the regent Zhang Yan who let me come back. I have surrendered to the regent, and the regent named me General Guiyi and Cangtinghou..."

"Bastard!" After hearing this, Ju Shou's face changed drastically, and he immediately cursed, "Why are you so spineless that you surrendered? If it gets out, where will you put my face? "

Juhu hurriedly said: "Father calm down, just listen to me. Although I surrendered to the regent, I was forced to do so. Is it possible that father really wants white-haired people to send black-haired people?"

"You still dare to quibble? You have no backbone at all, why should you be my son?" Ju Shou said angrily.

Juhu said: "Father, although I surrendered to the regent, no one knew about it. I always claimed that I killed the guard and escaped by myself."

"Oh? Then when you came back this time, did you sneak back by yourself, or did Zhang Yan let you come back?"

"Zhang Yan let me go back, the regent asked me to come back and persuade my father to surrender, and go over there to take up the post of Jiuqing..."

"I knew that he would not let you back for no reason. Since you have surrendered to Zhang Yan, from now on, you will no longer be my son, and I will just pretend that I don't have a son like you. Where did you come from? , go back somewhere, and tell Zhang Yan for me that I, Ju Shou, will never surrender to him."

"Father!" Juhu called.

Ju Shou said angrily: "Don't call me father, get out! Get out as far as you can, don't let me see you again, I don't have a son like you!"

In a fit of anger, Juhu immediately said: "Okay! I'll go!"

As soon as the words fell, Juhu left the hall, leaving Jushou alone in the hall secretly sad.When Juhu was very young, Jushou personally taught him to read, taught him the principles of life, and taught him what is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. He abides by these five words all his life, but he never Thinking of his own son, he rebelled so easily and surrendered to others.

Such a villain, don't let it go!

"Brother Ju, why are you so sad? Who offended you?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Ju Shou turned his head to look over, and was immediately extremely surprised that the person who came was none other than his close friend Tian Feng.

Ju Shou's face suddenly showed an inexplicable joy, but after a while, it became gloomy again, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that even you surrendered to Zhang Yan!"

Hearing what Jushou said, Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Brother Ju, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. It's true that I was released by Zhang Yan, but I definitely did not surrender to Zhang Yan. I am a man, don't you? Brother Ju Still don't know?"

Ju Shou frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"I can swear to God!" Tian Feng raised his hand, as if swearing.

Ju Shou no longer doubted, he knew Tian Feng's character well, immediately hugged Tian Feng, and said happily: "Finally I hope you back!"

Afterwards, Jushou asked people to prepare food and drinks, and the two close friends sat together and talked to each other. Only then did Jushou know that Tian Feng was indeed released by Zhang Yan, but he didn't know why he was released.Zhang He and Gao Lan both surrendered to Zhang Yan, and almost all of the other generals and soldiers surrendered to Zhang Yan and stayed in Yanzhou.

Zhang Yan did not hesitate to use high-ranking officials and rich salary as a condition to attract many people. Zhang Xi and Gao Lan were also named generals, and the rest of the generals who surrendered also received their due rewards.

After hearing this, Ju Shou sighed heavily. It is understandable that the winner is the prince and the loser is Kou. After all, not everyone can have such backbone. What face to say about others, it can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions.

In this battle, the Hebei army was seriously injured, and half of the elite soldiers were gone, and the only remaining ones were fighting for power and profit for the establishment of heirs.

Tian Feng happened to be back, and Ju Shou had a discussion with Tian Feng about the establishment of an heir. If Yuan Tan was to be the lord, let alone whether Yuan Tan was the material, could he rely on Yuan Shao's legacy to carry it forward? As far as supporters alone are concerned, Yuan Tan is at a disadvantage.

Among the officials in Hebei, half of them belonged to Yuan Shang's party. Even if Yuan Tan became the lord, he might not be able to secure his position. On the contrary, he might be pushed down by Yuan Shang and others.

But if Yuan Shang becomes the lord, Yuan Tan will definitely not be convinced. With his prestige in the army, it is no problem to call up tens of thousands of troops, and then attack Yuan Shang and compete with Yuan Shang for the lord position. Massacre, and it will also consume Yuan Jun's strength, creating profitable opportunities for the enemy.

Jushou was in a dilemma, and asked Tian Feng for a safe strategy. After Tian Feng heard it, he shook his head, thinking that this matter was really tricky.

However, when Jushou told Tian Feng the answers of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's answers to his questions, Tian Feng felt that Yuan Shang was very suitable to be the lord after listening to him. A master of action.

Ju Shou also thinks so, but he is also worried that after making Yuan Shang the lord, Yuan Shang will listen to the slander of Shen Pei and Pang Ji, targeting Yuan Tan in everything, and Yuan Tan is not convinced by Yuan Shang...

In short, this is an extremely hot matter. If it is not handled properly, the Yuan brothers will start killing each other, and it will be troublesome.

Even though Jushou and Tian Feng are extremely talented people, they have no solution to such a difficult matter. After much deliberation, they decided to call Xu You and Xun Chen for discussion.

Xu You and Xun Chen are both centrists and will not lean towards any side. Moreover, Xu You and Yuan Shao are childhood friends, so they should give some opinions.In addition, Xun Chen is also an outstanding talent of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and he is also the brother of Xun Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao's tent, and the uncle of Xun You.

The news that Cao Cao was poisoned and he will die soon has already spread. Although Cao Cao is not dead, he looks like a dead person, and it is estimated that he will not live long.

Jushou obeyed Tian Feng's advice and sent someone to invite Xu You and Xun Chen to come to the mansion to have a talk, but who would have thought that the servants would go to find Xu You and Xun Chen, but Xu You and Xun Chen were not in Yecheng, so After worshiping Yuan Shao this morning, he left Yecheng and went to Jinyang to visit the dying Cao Cao.

Therefore, Jushou had no choice but to give up, and discussed secretly with Tian Feng at home. Finally, after several hours of discussion, he finally came to a conclusion, and finally decided to let Yuan Shang inherit Yuan Shao's foundation. The two brothers have three chapters of agreement, not to invade each other.

Two days later, the much-anticipated day finally came. Ju Shou gathered all the people in the meeting hall, and invited Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu, to sit in the town. Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Pang Ji, Guo Tu , Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Cui Yan, Gao Rou, Chun Yuqiong, Zhu Ling, Jiang Yiqu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Qianzhao, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Yin Kai, Han Fan , Liang Qi, Li Fu, Shen Rong, Jiang Qi, Yan Rou, etc., all those who were above the rank of captain and county magistrate in Yecheng were all present.

Ju Shou walked up to the middle and said loudly: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and Hebei cannot be without a king for a day. We have gathered here today because there is something very important to announce. Thanks to the lord, let me be in charge of the military talisman. As a military adviser, at this critical juncture, I, Ju Shou, had to stand up. Today, I want to elect an heir here to inherit the old lord's foundation. But the old lord left suddenly without leaving any last words. According to ethics, it should The eldest son Yuan Tan will take over the old master's foundation. However, for the overall situation of Hebei and the stability of Yuan's foundation, one of the three sons must be selected to inherit. Please come and choose our future lord, whoever you decide will be the lord!"

"It's not fair!" Yuan Tan yelled immediately after hearing this, "I am the eldest son and direct grandson, the elders are orderly, the father dies and the son succeeds, so I should inherit my father's foundation and become the lord of Hebei!"

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Liu, who was invited by Jushou to sit in the town, saw Yuan Tan yelling, and immediately said angrily, "You are the eldest son and grandson, but your ability can't even match your father's. How do you let me trust you with my foundation?"

"Mother……"

"Back off!" Mrs. Liu scolded.

Mrs. Liu is Yuan Shao's official wife, the daughter of the clan of the Han Dynasty, and the mother of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang. The three sons were all born to him, but he only favors the younger son, Yuan Shang, and often praises his younger son in front of Yuan Shao. Son, over time, it also affected Yuan Shao.But for the eldest son Yuan Tan, Mrs. Liu is extremely disgusted.

Of course, Mrs. Liu hated Yuan Tan for a reason. As his eldest son, Yuan Tan didn't think about how to learn civil and martial arts, but always thought about crooked things.In order to win Yuan Shao's favor, Yuan Tan actually chose a beautiful woman for Yuan Shao and gave it to Yuan Shao.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with giving away beautiful women, but Mrs. Liu is a jealous woman who can't tolerate half a grain of sand in her eyes. Naturally, she hates this matter very much.When he learned that the person who sent the beautiful woman was his son, he was very angry and felt that Yuan Tan was too utilitarian. Since then, Mrs. Liu has been prejudiced against Yuan Tan. No matter what Yuan Tan does, Mrs. Liu will Yuan Tan is not pleasing to the eye.

After all, Yuan Tan was still a little afraid of Mrs. Liu, because his mother was not only a jealous person, but also a super shrew.On the second day after he sent the beauties to Yuan Shao, Mrs. Liu killed the beauties he sent with her own hands, and shut Yuan Tan for three months because of this matter.Even his father, Yuan Shao, was very afraid of Mrs. Liu, let alone him as a son.

Yuan Tan stepped aside and said nothing more.

Therefore, the people present began to raise their hands to vote, and most of them raised their hands in favor of Yuan Shang succeeding as the Lord of Hebei, but very few chose Yuan Tan, and some of them chose Yuan Xi, who had always been indifferent to the world.

The result of the election was as predicted by Ju Shou, and Yuan Shang "received the expectations of all".

Of course, Jushou also knew what was going on. Most of the people present were Yuan Shang's henchmen. If there was an election, it would definitely be Yuan Shang.

Ju Shou said: "Since the third son, Yuan Shang, is expected by everyone and is the master in everyone's minds, then he will take over as the master of Hebei. I don't know if anyone here has a different opinion?"

Yuan Tan wanted to stand out, but was held back by Guo Tu and Xin Ping. He shook his head at Yuan Tan, signaling that Yuan Tan should not act rashly. Since Ju Shou favored Yuan Shang, it would be useless for Yuan Tan to say anything else.

Ju Shou looked around and saw that no one expressed any objection, so he immediately said: "Since everyone has no objection, the third son Yuan Shang..."

"I have objections!" Before Ju Shou finished speaking, a tall and thick voice came in from outside the hall!

Everyone turned their heads and looked out of the hall, but they saw the person in front of them wearing an iron helmet, wearing an iron armor, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist. Behind them were several fierce generals surrounding him, all of them wearing armor, with piercing eyes. In the eyes of the god, there was a bit of killing intent, and he looked majestic.

When everyone saw this person appear, their faces were full of surprise, and they couldn't even close their mouths in surprise, because the person who came was none other than Cao Cao!
