The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80

Yuan Xu did not execute Yuan Shang and Mrs. Liu, but sent them to prison.

The Taiyuan army took over Yecheng, and Gan Ning was responsible for recruiting the surrendered Yuan army.

Sitting in Yuan Shao's former study, Pang Tong stood in front of Yuan Xu: "Let me go to Taiyuan and escort my wife and the generals to Yecheng."

"The eldest son and the second son are still outside." Pang Tong asked, "Don't you need to call them here first?"

"Of course." Yuan Xu said: "Jiang Gan goes to elder brother, he knows what to say."

"What about the second son?"

"Just find someone to go there, he will not refuse to obey orders." Yuan Xu is very sure of controlling Yuan Xi.

After all, Yuan Xi has been conquered by him.

Pang Tong took the order and Yuan Xu walked out of the study.

He saw Deng Zhan waiting outside: "You are not in the barracks, why are you here?"

"Yecheng is newly broken, and General Gan was worried about the lack of manpower around the young master, so he let me come." Deng Zhan replied.

"Since you're here, follow me to the prison." Yuan Xu greeted him and went to the prison.

After being imprisoned for only one night, Yuan Shang was unkempt, and he had long since lost the image of Mr. Pianran.

Yuan Xu didn't kill him immediately, but he was completely desperate for the future.

It's not a day or two for brothers to compete for favor.

He had fought with Yuan Tan for so many years, but in the end Yuan Xu got Hebei.

Sitting on the sleeping hay, Yuan Shang recalled everything that happened.

The jailer came: "My lord, I see you are here."

"Is he going to kill me?" Yuan Shang smiled wryly: "Put me in prison first, and act like I can't bear to kill me. After a night, I will be executed quietly..."

"To kill you, do you still need to do it quietly?" The jailer didn't respond, but Yuan Xu's voice came over.

Yuan Shang was taken aback at first, then calmed down.

After all, it is death, and it is useless to be afraid.

"Since you're here, let's do it." He responded calmly.

Yuan Xu came outside the cell.

Deng Zhan winked at the jailer.

The jailer opened the cell door.

Yuan Xu walked in, and Yuan Shang stood up.

"Third brother, sit down and talk." Yuan Shang motioned to sit down, and Yuan Xu sat down on the hay first.

"Since you came to kill me, why bother to be so hypocritical?" Determined that he must die, Yuan Shang simply stopped begging for mercy.

"I didn't plan to attack Yecheng so quickly." Yuan Xu smiled coldly: "The third brother did the worst thing, and gave me a reason to attack the city."

"What?" Yuan Shang asked.

"You shouldn't shoot arrows at the people I sent to shout." Yuan Xu replied: "My people were almost killed, but I didn't show anything. How can I convince the public in the future?"

Yuan Shang nodded: "So I deserve to die..."

"No!" Yuan Xu said, "I didn't intend to kill you."

"Don't kill me?" Yuan Shang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Yuan Xu curled his lips: "No matter how you say it, I'm a brother. If I kill you, how will the people of the world think of me? I can't bear the crime of killing brothers and brothers."

"Then what are you going to do?" Yuan Shang looked bewildered, faintly feeling that immortality might be more uncomfortable than death.

"Power, you can't have it anymore." Yuan Xu replied: "Be an ordinary person, I will give you a house, and I will send guards to protect it, and you must not associate with officials, gentry, or merchants."

"Just like that?" Yuan Shang couldn't believe his ears.

Winner and loser, in order to fight for power, he can do everything he can.

Yuan Xu didn't do that.

"Do you know why they didn't kill you?" Yuan Xu smiled slightly.

Yuan Shang shook his head.

"Because we have no chance of competing." Yuan Xu replied, "Killing you is like crushing an ant. Will third brother feel happy when crushing an ant?"

Yuan Shang closed his eyes in despair.

Someone told him that a few days ago, and he absolutely didn't believe it.

At this moment, he firmly believed in what Yuan Xu said.

The strength is completely unequal, why should he compete with Yuan Xu?

"Why should I do things that don't feel pleasant?" Yuan Xu said, "If you keep you alive, I can still gain a reputation for being generous."

"You don't want to know how I got the news?" Yuan Xu asked suddenly when he got up to leave the cell.

"I already know, why bother to ask." Yuan Xu replied, "Feng Yuantu sent you a letter."

"Since you know, why do you still keep him by your side?" Yuan Shang asked, "I'm not afraid..."

"He is desperate for you." Yuan Xu replied, "He has some skills and is loyal to the old master. If I didn't send you a letter, I wouldn't dare to use him."

Without further explanation, Yuan Xu walked out of the cell.

He told the jailer: "Let the third son go, someone will come to pick him up."

Deng Zhan was about to leave with Yuan Xu.

Yuan Shang jumped up and grabbed the cell fence: "Fourth brother, can we spare our mother?"

"It's your mother, not mine." Yuan Xu replied coldly, "My mother was already dead when I was born."

Yuan Shang looked desperate, but what Yuan Xu said next reassured him completely.

"I won't kill you, and of course I won't kill her. She has already gone out."

After leaving the prison, Deng Zhan asked Yuan Xu, "Young master, are you really worried that he is secretly contacting Yecheng officials?"

"After all, he is a compatriot. If he kills him directly, someone will make a fuss about it. I give him the chance to live. If he doesn't know how to cherish it, no one will be able to say anything if he makes a move next time."

"What's more..." He smiled slightly: "He is in his prime and can't stop me from breaking the city in a rage. No matter how many things he does in secret, he is still a mantis' arm?"

"I understand." Deng Zhan nodded.

Yecheng was originally the seat of the Yuan family.

No matter whether Yuan Xu or any of the sons of the Yuan family control this place, it is impossible to do bad things to the people.

Only one day after the city was destroyed, some shops were open for business.

Walking on the street, Yuan Xu looked at the opened shops: "Call Zhen Yan from Taiyuan, it's time to use him here."

Yuan Xu sent someone to invite Yuan Tan and others, but before the people from Taiyuan arrived, Yuan Xi came first.

In the study room, Yuan Xu sat at the head, while Yuan Xi was accompanying him.

"Second brother came very quickly." Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "It was unexpected."

"Fourth brother summons, dare not be unhappy." Yuan Xi replied: "I have ordered that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou accept the reorganization. I just ask for a house, so that I can spend my life in peace."

"Second Brother's doing this made me feel a little uncomfortable." Yuan Xu said, "You handed over the soldiers and horses before I even opened my mouth."

"My fourth brother's martial arts and martial arts are far superior to mine." Yuan Xi replied humbly: "With the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, it will be more handy to attack Cao Cao."

"It's not that easy." Yuan Xu said with a smile: "Didn't there be Nanhua a few days ago, and I suffered a lot from him."

"I heard about that incident." Yuan Xi said: "Nanhua is indeed a bit capable, but he was driven away by the fourth brother?"

"Still being your governor of Youzhou." Yuan Xu said something that surprised Yuan Xi: "Government affairs are too much trouble, and military affairs don't matter. From now on, soldiers and horses from all over the country will be dispatched by me."
