The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144 Can't let him get Qingzhou
After Xin Ping and Tian Feng left, Yuan Xu was still thinking about the weapon mission.

He didn't believe that the magic sound was completely unaware of the mission rewards.

Perhaps the magic sound just refused to tell him what it was, lest he pick and choose and give up the mission.

After seeing Yuan Xu, Xin Ping returned to Qingzhou immediately.

After waiting for days, he finally got him back.

After seeing him, Yuan Tan asked, "What did Ye City say?"

"The fourth son still wants the military power." Xin Ping replied: "He doesn't believe what the young master said, as long as the tsunami is cured, he is willing to hand over the military power."

"That is to say, he won't come?" Yuan Tan asked.

"That's not necessarily the case." Xin Ping replied: "He said that as long as the son is willing to accompany him to Penglai, and then hand over the military power, the tsunami can be borne by himself."

"If the military power is handed over, I will be the same as the second and third brothers..." Yuan Tan frowned: "Isn't everything lost?"

"Master, have you ever thought that we have no chance of winning in the face of the fourth son?" Xin Ping replied: "Handing over the military power can at least preserve the post of governor of Qingzhou. Like the third son, he is like a common man."

Yuan Tan looked at Simpi who was on the side: "What do you think?"

"I also think it's better to hand over the military power, my lord." Simpi replied, "Since it's impossible to take back Hebei, it's better to get rich."

"It seems that you two have already thought about this day." Yuan Tan sighed helplessly: "But I'm still not quite reconciled."

"When I came back this time, Cui Yan asked me to bring a letter to the young master." Xin Ping took out a letter from his bosom, held it in both hands and handed it to Yuan Tan: "Please read it, young master."

Cui Yan is also an old man beside Yuan Shao.

When the Yuan brothers fought for the right to inherit, he was always neutral.

Yuan Tan did not dislike him.

After receiving the letter, Yuan Tan opened it.

After browsing, he slowly closed his eyes: "Forget it, send someone to tell the fourth brother that I am willing to hand over the military power."

Although Xin Ping brought back the letter, he never read it.

After Yuan Tan read the letter, he looked depressed, and the two brothers were very puzzled.

Xin Ping asked: "May I ask you, what did you say in the letter?"

"You two read it for yourself." Yuan Tan handed the letter to Xin Ping.

When the two brothers read the letter, their faces were not very good-looking.

In his letter, Cui Yan detailed the harm caused by brotherly cannibalism.

Xin Ping and Xin Pi did not think that Yuan Tan would change his mind because of those harms.

What caused Yuan Tan to change his mind should be at the end of the letter, which listed in detail that after Yuan Xu took charge of Hebei, there was no disadvantage in the Southern Conquest and the Northern War.

Facing such a powerful opponent, he has no chance of winning at all.

Instead of resisting to the end, it is better to hand over the military power as soon as possible, and recognize Yuan Xu's status as the Lord of Hebei from now on.

"Do you two think so too?" Yuan Tan asked brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi.

"To be honest, my lord, I really think so." Xin Ping replied: "When I went to Yecheng this time, I found that it was completely different from the past. Inside and outside the city, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was an endless stream of businessmen coming and going. .”

Simpi also said: "Perhaps you don't know yet, but Qingzhou soldiers and civilians have long since..."

"What happened earlier?" He stopped talking halfway, and Yuan Tan urged him to ask.

"I have long wanted to return to Yecheng." Yuan Tan pressed, and Simpi had no choice but to answer truthfully.

"You really want to join Yecheng!" Yuan Tan laughed out loud, looking like a lunatic: "I have been in charge of Qingzhou for several years, but I didn't expect it to end like this."

"What do you plan to do, Young Master?" Xin Ping asked, "Ignore Yecheng's request?"

"I have already said, hand over the military power and invite Yuan Xianxin to come to Qingzhou to deal with the tsunami." Yuan Tan replied: "He has the ability to lead the Yuan family to the top, why should I fight with him?"

Sighing, Yuan Tan continued, "Besides, I don't even have the slightest chance of winning!"

After Xin Ping left, within ten days, Yuan Xu got the news.

Yuan Tan was willing to hand over his military power, and only asked him to manage the Qingzhou tsunami.

Upon receiving the news, Yuan Xu asked Guo Jia and the others: "Eldest brother is willing to hand over military power, how much sincerity do you think he has?"

No one answered, Guo Jia asked, "Does the young master believe him?"

"Of course I don't believe it." Yuan Xu replied, "In order to inherit the Yuan family, he joined forces with Cao Cao in an attempt to seize Yecheng."

"How do you plan to deal with the eldest son?" Tian Feng asked.

"Handing over the military power is meritorious, but he is short-sighted after all." Yuan Xu replied: "At the beginning when we marched into Hebei together with Cao Cao, if we couldn't resist, Yecheng has changed his surname to Cao now. Buy him a house in Yecheng, In the future, I will take care of each other with my third brother."

Yuan Xu's meaning was very clear, even if Yuan Tan handed over his military power, it would be impossible for him to continue to sit in the position of governor of Qingzhou.

"It seems that the young master has decided to go to Qingzhou." Guo Jia asked: "I don't know when to leave?"

"Since we have given a response, of course the sooner the better." Yuan Tan donated Qingzhou, which also became his rule.

First, he worried that the tsunami would cause more casualties and losses.

Secondly, he wanted to complete the weapon mission as soon as possible and obtain the weapon at his fingertips.

"Who are you going to take, my lord?" Guo Jia asked again.

"Feng Xiao will accompany me for a while, and the others will stay in Yecheng." Yuan Xu ordered: "Don't slack off military supplies and people's livelihood, Cao Cao is still watching."

Yuan Xu planned to leave Yecheng for Qingzhou.

Cao Cao also got the news that Yuan Tan was going to donate Qingzhou.

Once Qingzhou falls into Yuan Xu's hands, it won't be long before the army will go south to attack Huainan.

Cao Cao had heard about what happened outside the pass.

He didn't think that facing Yuan Xu, he would have any chance of winning at present.

Delay for a few more days, accumulate enough food and grass, recruit enough soldiers, and then go south to Jingzhou, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Before that, he would never allow Qingzhou to be taken by Yuan Xu.

Yuan Shu occupied Huainan back then and proclaimed himself emperor here.

After Cao Cao came to Huainan, he used Yuan Shu's palace as his residence.

Calling all the people under his command to the front hall, Cao Cao asked them: "I got the news that Yuan Xiansi has promised to hand over Qingzhou to Yuan Xianxin. What do you think of this?"

"We must not just sit back and watch Qingzhou fall into Yuan Xianxin's hands." Xun You replied, "Once he gets Qingzhou, he will definitely go south. My lord has no chance of winning against him now."

"I also know that I can't just sit back and watch him get Qingzhou." Cao Cao frowned: "I can think about it, but there is no feasible way to persuade Yuan Xiansi."

"Since you can't be persuaded, just kill him." Xun You said: "My lord, please send someone to visit Yuan Xiansi in Qingzhou, and take the opportunity to kill him."

"Who can go?" Cao Cao didn't have much confidence in assassinating Yuan Tan.

"I'll go!" One of the sitting people stood up.

This person has broad shoulders and a round waist, standing there, like a strong mountain of meat.

He is Xu Chu, Cao Cao's personal fierce general.
