On this day, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were chatting with Xu You. They were good friends and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they talked a lot.
Xu You is a very good opportunist and can adapt to the changing circumstances. Knowing that his good friends Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are now leading the princes to attack Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao is still the leader of the alliance, he can make a fortune if he fights hard. If not, he can defect to Dong Zhuo. There is nothing to lose anyway, so he defected to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao knew this guy's talent, and also knew that in history, it was this guy who took refuge with Cao Cao at a critical moment and stabbed himself, which led to a huge defeat, otherwise the outcome would have been unknown. To be honest, I really wanted to kill him on the spot, but after thinking about it, I decided not to do it. At least it can't be done now. My reputation has just spread. I can't let it go and deal with it later. Bar.
While they were talking, they saw Yuan Shu and Bao Xin coming hand in hand. Yuan Shao and the others restrained themselves and straightened their clothes.
Before Yuan Shao could speak, Yuan Shu cried and worshiped in the tunnel, "Brother, please avenge your uncle."
This is also the first time that Yuan Shu admits that he is his brother. This guy has always regarded himself as a direct descendant and looked down on Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine.
What, revenge, could it be that Yuan Wei was the same as in history?
Although Yuan Shao understood, he still pretended not to understand, "Highway, what happened, what happened to uncle?".
"Uncle, uncle was killed by Dong Zhuo," Yuan Shu said with tears in his eyes.
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, slammed the table and said angrily, "What, old thief Dong Zhuo, how dare you do this?"
Although he knew that Dong Zhuo was cruel, he would not ignore the influence of the Yuan family. Cao Cao interjected, "Is this news reliable?"
Yuan Shao also looked at Yuan Shu in disbelief, expecting him to give an answer.
When Yuan Shu saw that everyone was staring at him and asking whether the news was true or false, he stopped crying and shouted to the door.
"Yuan Fang, come in"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Fang walked in, came to Yuan Shao, cried and worshiped, "Yuan Fang, the slave of the Yuan family, has met the eldest son."
Yuan Shao motioned for him to get up and talk, "Get up quickly and tell us what happened."
Yuan Fang just stood up and told everyone exactly what happened.
"My eldest son, head of the family, if you don't believe me, please read the letter. This is what I left to you."
After saying that, he took out two letters and handed them to brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
The head of the family, could he be talking about himself? Yuan Shu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the letter from Yuan Fang's hand, and read it confidently. Yuan Shao also took the letter and read it.
Sure enough, just as he expected, Yuan Wei passed on the title of head of the family to Yuan Shu. After all, he was a direct descendant. This is the way this era is. It's not a pity, it's just a little regretful. However, his uncle was pretty good to him and gave him the family's deadliest soldier, but he didn't know how to contact him, and his uncle didn't mention it.
Haha, look at Yuan Shu again, he still had a sad look on his face, but now his face is red and he almost laughed out loud, causing Cao Cao and the others to look at him strangely.
Yuan Shu, after a while, realized that his expression was wrong. He quickly calmed down his emotions and said to Yuan Shao, "Benchu, you know the content of the letter. From now on, I am the head of the Yuan family." Yuan Shao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Yuan Shu was very proud when he saw Yuan Shao admitting his status. He ignored the surprised expressions of Xu You and others and ordered, "My uncle has recently died. We want to avenge him. I hope you can join the army with me."
This is not nonsense, this is what we are here for.
Before Yuan Shao could speak, Cao Cao said from the side, "Yes, the hatred of the country and the family must be settled with Dong Zhuo together. I will coordinate with the princes and let us march together to destroy Dong Zhuo."
"Yes"
"Willing to avenge the leader of the alliance"
Xu You and Bao Xin also quickly expressed their opinions.
Yuan Shu was very satisfied with what he said and looked at Yuan Shao waiting for a reply.
This was a big deal, and Yuan Shao would not let them down. He said, "Of course, this is what I want, and I don't dare to say goodbye."
After hearing Yuan Shao's promise, everyone was naturally happy. After telling Yuan Fang to go down and rest, everyone made plans to advance the army.
As the secretary of the alliance leader, Cao Cao reported to everyone the dynamics of the princes and Dong Zhuo's situation one by one.
Of course, the focus was on Sun Jian's meritorious service, and by the way, the matter of Bao Xin's younger brother was also mentioned.
Bao Xin was very ashamed and a little embarrassed when he said this. Yuan Shu suddenly thought of something and was also very embarrassed. When he was about to say it, he was interrupted by a voice.
"My lord, there are soldiers from Sun Jian outside the camp saying that they have something important to report. Sir, please tell me?"
Yuan Shao raised his eyes and saw that it was Yan Liang who reported the income.
Yuan Shao nodded and indicated that he could come in.
After a while, Yan Liang came in with a messenger.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground in a dusty state, Yuan Shao couldn't bear to tell him, "You can get up and speak, there is no need to be polite."
The sergeant stood up gratefully and reported, "I am reporting to the leader of the alliance that General Sun Jian was defeated. I have come here to ask the leader for instructions. What should I do next?"
What, Sun Jian was defeated, Cao Cao said he didn't believe it, he didn't return the victory yesterday.
Cao Cao stood up abruptly and asked, "It's impossible. How could General Sun be defeated? Is this news false?"
Bao Xin also expressed disbelief. Except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, one knew the history and the other had evil intentions. Xu You was just watching the fun.
The sergeant knew that this information was not convincing, so he told everyone everything about Sun Jian's defeat.
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Shu with a look of sorrow and anger, wishing he could eat him alive.
Everyone also knew that the reason for Sun Jian's defeat was Yuan Shu. If he hadn't not distributed food and fodder, things wouldn't have been like this.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Yuan Shu was also ashamed and sitting there in embarrassment. He originally planned to kill Sun Jian's arrogance to see if he could be used for me, but Sun Jian was defeated too quickly and was too late to rescue him. of.
Yuan Shao knew Yuan Shu's nature and didn't say anything. Cao Cao couldn't help it. He stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Shu's clothes, very angry.
"Gao Dao, how could you do this? Do you know that we are allies? You, you..." Cao Cao was so angry that he could not speak.
At this time, Cao Cao was still a loyal and patriotic member of the Communist Youth League, and he was eager to serve the country and make meritorious deeds. He was a bit young.
Yuan Shu also felt a little guilty, especially since he had just become the head of the Yuan family and was preparing to take revenge. Isn't this a slap in the face? It was so loud. But I still had to explain, and an excuse came to me.
"Meng De, please listen to my explanation. This is not my idea, it is all a bad idea from the people below."
"What, it wasn't your idea? Your excuse is too fake, it's not who you are." Cao Cao blamed Yuan Shu reluctantly.
"Mengde, listen to my explanation, it's really not me," Yuan Shu explained again.
This excuse was far-fetched. Of course, Cao Cao would not listen to his explanation. They started fighting for a while. Bao Xin and Xu You kept trying to persuade him. However, in Yuan Shao's view, they were mostly gloating over misfortune and fanning the flames. To break up the fight.
Yuan Shao couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly, "Okay, Mengde and Highway, please stop. Everything has happened, and there is no sense to pursue the investigation. Let's discuss important matters."
After all, Yuan Shao is the elder brother and the leader of the alliance, so his words still carry a lot of weight. They naturally stopped, straightened their clothes, and discussed things.
It was Cao Cao who recovered and said, "In my opinion, the most urgent task now is to send someone to retrieve Sun Jian first, and then gather the princes to discuss revenge."
Just as he thought, Yuan Shao agreed and said, "Meng De, what you said is absolutely true. In that case, I'll leave it to Meng De to lead his men back to Wentai."
Cao Cao did not hesitate and took the order and left. When he left, he gave Yuan Shu a hateful look.
Yuan Shu was helpless and stood up and asked, "Leader of the alliance, leave it to me to gather the princes."
Yuan Shao nodded. When Yuan Shu agreed, he left quickly. He didn't want to stay in this embarrassing place anymore.
Bao Xin and Xu You knew something big was going on, so they didn't bother and went down to prepare.
After Yuan Shao waited for everyone to disperse, he walked out of the tent to discuss it with Tian Feng.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Yuan Fang coming up to him and kneeling on the ground.
"Yuan Fang, the leader of the dead soldiers of the Yuan family, pays homage to the lord."
What, it turned out that he was the leader of the dead men of the family, I thought I couldn’t find them.
Yuan Shao helped Yuan Fang up and said happily, "Get up quickly, today I have a strong man to help me, Shao is like a tiger with wings."
Yuan Fang was very grateful for these words, "There were so many people just now, please don't blame me, it's rude."
"General, you don't have to be polite. Please tell me about the family's dead soldiers."
Yuan Fang was also unambiguous and spoke to Yuan Shao. The Death Warrior is a force used by a family to solve problems that cannot be solved by conventional methods, somewhat similar to ninjas.
Originally, there were about 800 dead men in the family, but when Yuan Fang led them to escape from Luoyang, through layers of interceptions, there were less than 500 people left. Now they were gathered near the princes' camp, ready to be ready at any time.
"Please give me your order, my lord, and we will be ready to execute it at any time," Yuan Fang said in passing.
Not bad, but the manpower is a little short. Yuan Shao said with satisfaction, "Yeah, not bad. Yuan Fang, hurry up and take them back to the camp, and replenish it as soon as possible. Let's set the scale at 1,000 first. It will be officially renamed Shadow Camp and will be led by you. Strengthen training and be ready to attack at any time."
"Yes, my lord, Fang will definitely live up to my lord's trust." Yuan Fang burst into tears with gratitude and accepted the order.
Looking at his back, Yuan Shao was very satisfied and went directly to Tian Feng to discuss the matter.
