In the south of the county town of Bohai County, the former Bohai Prefect's Mansion has now changed its name and has become Yuan Mansion. Although the name has changed, the person living in the mansion has to kneel down to the ground and kowtow respectfully when he sees it.

"Master, look at the wintersweet flowers bloom again!" In the Yuan Mansion, a middle-aged woman in the palace dress pointed to the plum blossoms in the backyard and said to a middle-aged man beside her.

"It smells so good. I'm so frivolous. Wasn't we met back then? At that time, you were young and frivolous. When I was about to marry into the boudoir, you picked that plum blossom and placed it on my hair bun. You wanted to make a promise with me for three lives! You said you wanted to travel all over the country with me, but now, where did Yuan Benchu ​​go? What about that ambition and passionate Yuan Benchu? What about the romantic and elegant Yuan Benchu! You said, tell me!" The middle-aged woman in the palace shook the middle-aged man beside her.

Although this middle-aged man looked majestic in his clothes and appearance, he looked very arrogant.

However, it was difficult to recover from the shaking of the middle-aged beautiful woman in the palace dress. She just stared at the wintersweet flowers over there with her eyes dull, allowing the beautiful woman in the palace dress to shake at will.

He is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the former leader of the eighteen princes, the former heir of the fourth generation of the three dukes, and the former overlord of Hebei. However, Yuan Benchu ​​now has only one identity, that is, a prisoner.

If you have another identity, it is a patient with abscess and hemiplegia.

Since Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​lost to Cao Cao and were seized by his son, he has become like this. Although he saved his life, he has become a vegetable and can no longer move.

"But it's good, either! Shang'er has become a general, and you have time to accompany me, right? You used to be busy, but now you are not busy, you belong to me, waiting for Shang'er to take it back to Hebei. You and I will build a yard in the mountains to raise some wintersweet flowers. Is it good for you to accompany me to enjoy the flowers and the moon every day?" The middle-aged woman in the palace dress talked for a long time. She thought she was tired, so she left for a while and asked Yuan Shao to continue basking in the sun.

But he didn't notice that there was a hint of loneliness in Yuan Shao's eyes. "What are wintersweet flowers?" Yuan Shao looked at the wintersweet flowers in the yard over there. The colder the sky was, the more beautiful the these wintersweet flowers grew. Yuan Shao couldn't help but be fooled.

But then his eyes turned cold and said, "Rebellious son!" This rebellious son said something about Yuan Tan, but more of it was about Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shao spoiled his youngest son Yuan Shang since he was a child. It can be said that as long as Yuan Shang wanted, Yuan Shao did his best. He even gave Bohai Prefect and Bohai County to Yuan Shang because Yuan Shang saw his childhood figure.

However, the so-called deep love and hatred are deeply. After losing to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao did not receive the comfort of his most beloved son. Instead, he seized power. In fact, even if Yuan Shang did not seize power, Yuan Shao would slowly hand over the power of Hebei to Yuan Shang.

Because losing to Cao Cao has already made Yuan Shao lose his former style and Yuan Shao is tired. Who would have thought that he would lose to the fat black man who has been trampled by him?

However, Yuan Shao did not expect that Yuan Shang took his power, the failure on the battlefield and the betrayal of his beloved son made Yuan Shao completely faint. Indeed, he became a vegetable, but that was half a year ago. Over the years, he gradually woke up. Although his whole body was still very inconsistent with his body, at least he had no problem with his actions.

Yuan Shao did not immediately tell others that he had woken up. The only thing he knew was Xun Chen, because that guy was a personal genius. When he was by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao knew that he could not hide it from him.

Yuan Shao also listened from time to time to time whether it was a servant or a few retainers there, although they didn't understand the military and national affairs, at least they were still paying attention to the news about the Yuan family.

When he came to Bohai County, it was not Yuan Shang's unfilial son and filial father who thought his father was nostalgic, so he brought his father and mother into Bohai County. Instead, there was only one Youzhou left in the whole of Hebei, and Bohai County was allocated to him, so he threw Yuan Shao into Hebei.

Yuan Shao sometimes wondered what he had done, why God treated him like this. His two sons with inheritance were both useless. The huge Hebei foundation was abandoned so much. Yuan Shao was also regretful that if he had listened to Ju Su and Tian Feng's advice, Yuan Shao would have now sat on the throne among Xu Du.

But Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao don’t know what he is thinking. Maybe it’s really as the beautiful woman in the palace dress said. She looks pretty good now. He doesn’t have to think about military and national affairs, or intrigues. He just teaches the two rebellious sons everything. I don’t know when his brother Meng De will take Youzhou. That’s when Yuan Shao’s life is lost.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress came back soon, but it seemed that her face was very bad.

"Come on, hurry up, get the general, no, carry the master, let's go!" The beautiful woman in the palace dress originally planned to call Yuan Shao the general, but thought that the general now was his son, so the beautiful woman in the palace dress could only change her name.

"Huh?" Yuan Shao was puzzled in his heart. He soon understood why this beautiful woman in the palace dress was leaving so hasty.

Cao Cao's army attacked Bohai County.

"You finally discovered it! My Brother Meng De!" Yuan Shao also smiled bitterly. He knew that the stable life might be over.

...

Yuan Xi's face in Fan Yang was very bad. His scout finally made it clear. Cao Cao's army was indeed heading towards Bohai County. Yuan Xi had not figured it out before, because although Cao Cao's army had taken action, there were no shortage of tents and stoves in the camp, in order to confuse Yuan Xi.

Yuan Tan next to him stopped talking. If Cao Cao's large army had gone to Bohai County at that time, his Qingzhou Iron Cavalry would have gone but never returned.

What Yuan Xi really couldn't understand was why Cao Cao had to let Fan Yang not come to capture the Bohai County there. Isn't this just squandering the foundation and chasing the end?

Seeing that the camps that had decreased there were at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it can be said that during this period, Cao Cao's loss of troops and allocated troops had begun to remain equal.

"Bohai County, Bohai County!" Yuan Xi rang for a long time but couldn't think of the reason, but this did not hinder Yuan Xi's planning. Since you, Cao Cao, dare to divide the troops, then Yuan Xi would have the idea of ​​splitting and attacking him!

"Trigger and attack?" The others around also had this idea. Because this division and attack were very effective, Cao Cao had an army of 300,000, which made the entire Yuan brothers' camp breathless. However, now it has become less than 200,000. Zhang He, one of the elite soldiers, was also transferred.

"Transfer our military orders! Let General Wen Chou give up the entire Bohai County and bring Xiancheng back to Fanyang to stand by!" Yuan Xi on the other side spread the orders to the soldiers beside him. He wanted to use the entire Bohai County as a price to disperse Cao Cao's power, then concentrate his own strength to attack and break up Cao Cao's main force first. He was in the camp everywhere, and drove Cao Cao's army out of Youzhou step by step.

"Since he is confused, Cao Cao and Mengde, don't blame me, Yuan Xi for driving him out of Youzhou!" Yuan Xi said to everyone.

"Yes!" Everyone over there nodded. As long as Yuan Xi's method was right, they could really drive Cao Cao's army out, and the entire Yuan family group would rise.

"Strike it apart! Give up Bohai County?" Many people in the Yuan Group were excited, but there was only one person but they were in a panic. This person was Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang suddenly screamed, and he screamed with a ferocious look on his face, "No!"

Yuan Shang's expression stunned everyone. What happened to this third young master Yuan Shang?

Could it be that? Everyone was unanimously thinking of one thing, that is, Wen Chou was Yuan Shang's subordinate, and Bohai County was also Yuan Shang's territory. If Yuan Shang lost Yuan Shang's territory, he would directly avoid Yuan Shang's first camp, and he did not tell him that Yuan Shang was going to get angry?

"Oh, our third son Yuan is reluctant to leave Bohai County, or something! If you lose one Bohai County, you will get the whole of Hebei. I think our third son Yuan should be able to settle the accounts!" Yuan Tan said sarcasticly. Yuan Tan was not his retaliation against Bohai County. If you lose it, you should lose it. It would be best if you lose it. You can suppress Yuan Shang's power. In this way, after they drive Cao Cao away, Yuan Shang's strength in Hebei will be weaker if he wants to compete with him.

How could Yuan Tan not do such a thing that can defeat the enemy and gain profit?

Although Yuan Xi frowned, when did Yuan Shang still want to fight for power and throne? He just transferred Wen Chou to Fan Yang. After all, he had to go through your Yuan Shang's consent. This is one of them. The second is that Bohai County is just a county, and if it is lost, you can drive away Cao Cao. Hebei Sizhou, you can choose "third brother, it is the second brother who is not considering it and you don't discuss it with the third brother in advance, so you will issue an order. Second brother apologizes like you. Now we want to join forces. As long as we can defeat Cao Cao's army outside Fan Yang, you can choose this four continents!" Yuan Xi is also giving benefits to Yuan Shang. As long as you don't make trouble now, waiting to defeat Cao Cao, the four continents, no matter which county you want, will give you.

"Yes! These four continents are as prosperous as Bohai County! Are you so short-sighted with third brother?" Yuan Tan did not give up the opportunity to attack Yuan Shang at all.

"I said no, it's just not!" Yuan Shang raised his head and said with a ferocious look on his face.

"Third brother?" Yuan Xi was also angry. This is really a teammate who cheated his father. He can't even take him like a pig. This game can still be played. If you win, you don't want to take you flying. If you have to be strong, you can't help him?

"Choose any place in the Four Continents? Even if you give me all the places in the Four Continents, if that person comes out, no one of you will think of getting Hebei and inheriting the position of General!" Yuan Shang looked at everyone with a ferocious look.

"That person?" Everyone was very puzzled.

"Oh, can there be people in Bohai County who can't get Hebei? I said third brother, I am my father's eldest son and the young lord of the Yuan family. If even I can't inherit my father's will, who else? Unless my father is alive, otherwise, even third brother, you have to call me "Brother!" Yuan Tan said to Yuan Shang Ao Ang, he was the orthodox heir, and if Yuan Shao was the emperor, then Yuan Tan was the crown prince of a famous family, and your third brother Yuan Shang was at most a favored prince.

"Then congratulations, brother, you really answered correctly, and my father was really not dead. It's in Bohai County!" Yuan Shang also started to look coldly. He also took the initiative to make trouble. If everyone was in trouble, the reason why the two brothers of the Yuan family could split up was that the news of Yuan Shao's death spread. If someone knew that Yuan Shao was not dead, haha, that fun would be really great. At least half of the people who supported the Yuan brothers would turn against each other. If Yuan Shao raised his arms again, I'm afraid the two brothers would have to kneel in front of Yuan Shao.

Everyone was stunned by Yuan Shang's words and had not reacted.

"What did you say?" Yuan Tan was also dumbfounded. He asked Yuan Shang beside him, and seemed to be unable to believe his ears, thinking that Yuan Shang was wrong.

"I said, father, our father Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​are in Bohai County, right in Nanpi City!" Yuan Shang also yelled at everyone.

"This, this, this!" Everyone widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe it. If the third young master Yuan Shang said it was true, then the fun would be great. These individuals belonged to Yuan Shao's two sons Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. In order to make their masters' life, they have not many framed each other.

If Yuan Shao comes out, will they be good? Their two sons will naturally not blame their sons. Instead, they will change them. It must be you traitors who are sowed by the relationship between the Yuan family.

These individuals know the best who Yuan Shao is. They have a deep sense of fear. They are afraid.

Everyone said that Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao, but it was just Er'er, just something that could not be put on the table, but these individuals would not think so.

Because everything about Yuan Shao did not fall from the sky, but was made step by step by step.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​came from a famous family, Yuan Shao's biological mother was a maid. If a maid's son could be the head of the Yuan family, you can see how talented this person is.

This is just one thing that comes from a famous family, the second is to kill decisively.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when Emperor Ling of Han was still alive, the court formed another new army in Xiyuan and established eight lieutenants. Yuan Shao was appointed as the lieutenant of the Central Army, but the power was in the hands of the eunuch. Jian Shuo, the commander of the Shangjun Academy, and even the general He Jin had to obey his command. In April, Emperor Ling of Han was seriously ill and the crown prince was not established. On the issue of inheriting the throne, the conflict between the eunuch and the relative He Jin intensified. Emperor Ling of Han had two sons: one was born by Empress He, named Liu Bian; the other was born by Wang Meiren, named Liu Xie. The ministers asked to establish the crown prince. Emperor Ling of Han was very disliked because Liu Bian was frivolous and shallow, but he deposed the legitimate and established the illegitimate, and was worried that the ministers would rebel.

Yes, so he was undecided. The eunuchs such as Jian Shuo were of course comprehensible. The most important thing was that they were unwilling to fall into He Jin's hands. Therefore, they used the excuse of Han Sui's rebellion and proposed to ask the general to lead troops to quell the rebellion. At this critical moment, He Jin understood the eunuch's tricks and resigned that Qing Xu Huang Turban resurrected, and asked Yuan Shao to go east to Xu Yan. When Yuan Shao's troops returned, he attacked Han Sui. A few days later, Emperor Ling of Han died of illness. Jian Shuo decided to kill He Jin first and then establish Liu Xie, so he sent someone to welcome He into the palace to make plans. He Jin gathered troops outside the palace and was ready for battle, but he said he was sick. Under pressure, Jian Shuo had to make Liu Bian the emperor.

When Liu Bian ascended the throne, Empress He was the commander of the empress dowager. The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and General He Jin assisted in the administration of the government, and recorded the affairs of the Shangshu. This was a victory for foreign relatives and bureaucrats and officials over the eunuchs. At this time, Yuan Shao said to He Jin through He Jin's guest Zhang Jin: "The eunuchs in the Huangmen have been in charge of great power for a long time and are dedicated to bad things. The general should choose other virtuous people, rectify the country, and eliminate harm to the world." He Jin thought it was very right, so he appointed Yuan Shao as the Sili lieutenant, He Yong as the Chief of the Northern Army, Xu You as the Minister of the Huangmen, and Zheng Tai as the Secretary of the Shangshu. At the same time, more than 20 people were promoted, and they all became He Jin's confidants.

Jian Shuo was very uneasy and planned to kill He Jin again, but was reported by someone. He Jin ordered the arrest of Jian Shuo. Given that the eunuchs were ready to move, He Jin might have an accident and said he would not participate in the funeral of Emperor Ling. Yuan Shao believed that only by killing all the eunuchs could he be exempted from future troubles. He said to He Jin: "In the past, Dou Wu was preparing to kill his inner pet, but he was harmed. The reason was that the situation was uncle and the words were leaked. The soldiers of the fifth battalion were obeyed the eunuchs. Dou Wu believed them and ended up destroying himself. Now the general is in the throne of the emperor's uncle, and his brothers led strong soldiers. The generals and officers of the army are all handsome and famous, and they are willing to do their best to serve the general. Everything is under the control of the general. This is a good opportunity given by God. The general should eliminate the disasters for the world in one fell swoop and be famous for his future generations!" He Jin reported to Empress Dowager He. But Empress Dowager He did not agree, and He Jin did not dare to violate the order of the empress dowager.

Afterwards, he thought: "Or kill only a few guilty ones?" Seeing that He Jin was shaken, Yuan Shao said to him: "The eunuchs are close to the supreme and convey the edict. If they don't catch them all in one net, they will cause endless troubles. Besides, the plan has been revealed now, why didn't the general make a decision early? If things change for a long time, they will suffer disasters if they take action too late." However, because Empress Dowager He's mother Wuyang Jun and He Jin's younger brother He Miao were bribed by eunuchs many times, they interfered with it. They obstructed it from many parties; and because He Jin had no decision and hesitated, there was still no result. Yuan Shao was very anxious when he saw this situation and offered advice again: "You can mobilize all parties."

The heroes led their troops to the capital to advise the empress dowager. "He Jin thought this idea was good, so he ordered the Bingzhou governor Dong Zhuo to lead the army to the capital, and sent his subordinate Wang Kuang and cavalry commander Bao Xin to his hometown to recruit soldiers. The troops from all directions rose and the capital was shocked. Queen Mother He felt that the situation was serious. She hurriedly released the eunuchs, Xiaohuangmen and others home. The eunuchs panicked, and were ashamed of a dog, and went to ask He Jin to forgive him. Yuan Shao repeatedly advised He Jin to take this opportunity to kill them, but He Jin still let them go. Yuan Shao was very unwilling to accept it and wrote a letter to notify the prefectures and counties, saying that it was He Jin's intention to order the eunuchs' relatives to be arrested and imprisoned.

The eunuchs were desperate and took risks. They used the excuse of leaving the capital to serve the empress dowager for the last time, and entered the palace. Under Zhang Rang's command, Zhongchang Shi Duan Gui and others led dozens of party members to wait for He to enter the palace and killed He Jin in front of Jiade Hall. He heard that He Jin was killed and led his troops into the palace. The generals of the Hu Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu attacked the palace city and burned the Qingsou Gate. Zhang Rang and others then took the Shao Emperor Liu Bian and King Chenliu Liu Xie to flee in a hurry from Fudao. Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei pretended to be in accordance with the edict and killed the eunuchs' pro-party Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, and then soldiers to the Zhuquege to capture and kill the eunuchs who had not had time to escape. They ordered the closing of the palace gate and strictly prohibited entry and exit, and commanded soldiers to search for the eunuchs in the palace, killing all young and old, killing more than 2,000 people, and some people without beards were also killed as eunuchs.

From this we can see that Yuan Shao was very decisive in killing.

Cao Cao once said that he would betray the world, and not the world would betray him. His suspicion was serious, but it was just killing one or two people. Yuan Shao was different as long as he thought it was wrong and as long as he thought it was a threat, then no one would be left. The eunuchs in the world were frightened when they heard Yuan Shao's name.

And the same is true for these subordinates of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. If Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​were angry with them, then none of them would want to live, so they were afraid.

Looking at the frightened expressions of everyone, Yuan Shang nodded with satisfaction.

"Impossible, it's impossible. Yuan Shang, you ordinary man, are you lying to me?" Yuan Tan pointed at Yuan Shang over there and shouted loudly. Because Yuan Shang had sent a mourning to Yuan Shao, it can be said that Yuan Shao had already died once, but such a person who had died once suddenly became resurrected again. Do you think Yuan Tan can convince him?

"I'm lying to you? How many benefits can I have for lying to you? Do you Yuan Tan give me one more army or kneel down and bow down to me to surrender? I want to lie to you? A joke!" Yuan Shang said coldly. Yuan Shang told everyone about his fake father's death and mourning.

"No, no!" Yuan Tan still didn't believe it. Although he did not seek court to join forces, he was not much better than Yuan Shang, because when he knew that Yuan Shang might usurp the throne and seize power, he not only did not stop Yuan Shang, but instead accelerated the possibility of Yuan Shang seizing power. Only in this way can he be independent, Yuan Tan was not satisfied with his father Yuan Shao's command, because Yuan Shao always loved his youngest son Yuan Shang, so he naturally had less care for Yuan Tan, so Yuan Tan was eager for Yuan Shao to die.

If their father comes back, will they still have to live?

There was only one person present but he didn't have such panic. That was Yuan Xi, because Yuan Xi had never thought about seizing his father's rights or inheriting the great cause of the Yuan family. Because all this seemed very far away and had nothing to do with him, Yuan Xi, so Yuan Xi could be said to be the most loyal minister to his father Yuan Shao.

If Cao Cao hadn't forced himself too much this time, Yuan Xi would have died with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. I'm afraid Yuan Xi would not be willing to join the Yuan family's grudges if he didn't resist.

"Father! Still alive!" Yuan Xi had a hope in his heart. That was that his father would come back to command them. If his father could come back, he would definitely win Cao Cao. Didn't Gongsun Zan oppress his father like this? But he still lost.

"Report!" Some people below didn't believe it, so the information completely broke up their ideas.

Because the messenger came to report, the banner of General Yuan Shao had been taken from Bohai County. In this way, Yuan Shao had completely awakened, or the former general, the former overlord of Hebei, has returned.

Yuan Shang's last extravagant hope was broken. If Yuan Shao was killed by Cao Cao, or he was still in a coma, he could still rush to Bohai County to grab Yuan Shao back.

"Yuan Xi!" Just as Yuan Xi was thinking about how to welcome their father Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang turned their heads and looked at Yuan Xi over there.

"Big brother, third brother?" Yuan Xi was not a fool. He obviously felt the murderous intent from Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

Yes, it was just murderous intention. Yuan Xi widened his eyes and soon he understood. Because these two rebellious sons from the Yuan family were afraid, and they were afraid that Yuan Shao would settle the score with them after he came back, so they were all connected to the same fate and the same enemy. But now the only one who was not on the same front with them was Yuan Xi on the side.

If Yuan Shao comes back, then they may die, but Yuan Xi doesn't, so Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan think about killing Yuan Xi. In this way, regardless of whether his father wants to do so or not, his heirs will be the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. Will Yuan Shao still kill?

Yuan Xi quickly understood the thoughts of the two brothers, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother, third brother, if I wanted to compete with you that position, I would have fought for a long time, why should I wait until now?" Yuan Xi wanted to say something to Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, hoping to dispel the murderous intent of the two.

"That was before, now it's different, my second brother!" Yuan Tan's face turned ferocious to Yuan Xi on the other side. Yuan Xi knew before that he could not compete with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan was the eldest son and Yuan Shang was Yuan Shao's favorite son. No matter how he fought for him, it was a mistake.

But now it's different. Yuan Shao already knew that the two of them were rebellious sons. Yuan Shao was completely desperate. Then Yuan Shao had the last son left, which was Yuan Xi. The most important thing is that Yuan Xi's ability is much stronger than Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. Over the past few days, although Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were also very happy because Yuan Xi led them to resist Cao Cao's attack and also destroyed the traitor Xu You, the Jizhou Army, over there, but that's just like that, these two brothers still had deep hostility towards Yuan Xi, because that was jealousy.

What are you trying to do? You are also Yuan Shao’s son, you are better than me.
To be continued...
