Seeing Zhu Jun's steps faltering, his heart was filled with despair, and he looked lifeless, as if he was about to die in the near future.
Although Yang Biao couldn't bear it, he still didn't say anything and didn't reveal his plan to him. Because he was not sure whether the backup plan he had left could be realized. Didn't his son successfully reach Yanzhou Chenliu? There are too many uncertain factors and many variables.
Why do you say this way? The story begins when Huangfu Song and the others were discussing the crusade against Yuan Shao in the secret room that day.
At that time, in fact, in addition to the backbone of the royalists, there was another person present. This person was none other than Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu.
For those who are familiar with Yang Xiu, everyone must know it. He was a figure in the late Three Kingdoms period, but now he is just an ambitious young man who is underage.
After everyone left, Yang Xiu stopped hiding behind the secret room and walked out. Seeing his father's thoughtful look, he asked curiously.
"I don't know what my father is thinking, can Xiu'er know?".
Seeing my precious son asking curious questions, I must have wanted to give some advice and make suggestions for the next step.
To be honest, Yang Biao is quite satisfied with his son Yang Xiu. It can be said that he is a little proud. He is smart, eager to learn, well-read, has a strong memory, and has a clear mind. He can solve some problems easily. Regarding the major events of the imperial court, you can get some enlightenment from talking to him sometimes. And it coincides with my own ideas, and the reaction is very fast, not like a last-minute thought at all. It can be said that the skill is better than the skill. He was given the title of child prodigy in the capital, which also made Yang Biao very proud.
But there was only one thing: Yang Biao was a little worried about him and reminded Yang Xiu many times, but he just promised verbally, and he would forget it in a few days, and the sound of the waves would still be there.
This, nothing else. Even if Yang Xiu is pretentious, he really has no rival in the capital. He developed the bad habit of being proud of his talents and looked down upon the world's heroes.
Those who are proud of their talents will probably not end well. This is what Yang Biao is worried about.
But now I can’t think about that much, let’s answer Yang Xiu’s question. Yang Biao did not answer directly.
"You usually think of yourself as smart and wise. I heard some of it just now. Just guess what I am thinking."
According to my father's advice, I wanted to test myself. Yang Xiu was indeed Yang Xiu, and he was right without hesitation.
"What's so difficult about this? I think the only thing that will make Father think deeply is how to deal with our Prime Minister."
Yang Biao nodded, indicating that he guessed correctly, and continued, "In that case, are you guessing how I thought of dealing with him?".
Yang Xiu thought for a while before analyzing and said, "Yuan Shao's momentum has been won. I feel that Xiliang Hanma will not be his opponent, nor will the generals in Chang'an. As for the alliance with Yuan, in my opinion it is just a joke. That's all. I think my father must be thinking of continuing to use the strength of the princes to deal with Yuan Shao."
After listening to Yang Xiu's analysis, Yang Biao couldn't help but nodded. He was very sure of his analysis. It seemed that he had a successor.
Seeing Yang Biao in such a situation, Yang Xiu knew that he had guessed correctly and was a little proud. Continuing to express himself, he asked.
"I wonder which prince my father prefers to deal with Yuan Shao?"
Yang Biao did not answer, but smiled and said, "Xiu'er can guess which prince he belongs to."
Hearing his father's rhetorical question, Yang Xiu frowned, thought for a while, and then said confidently.
"Lu Bu is just a fool, and Gongsun Zan is just sitting in a difficult situation. As for our relative Yuan Shu, he is just an arrogant guy and cannot achieve anything. As for the other Tao Qian, Kong Rong, etc., they are no more than guests at the forum, and they are even more unreliable. .I feel like there is no one else but Cao Cao."
After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he stared at his father, waiting for his confirmation, a little expectantly.
After listening to Yang Xiu's analysis, Yang Biao nodded and shook his head. His expression was a bit complicated, and he didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed. This made Yang Xiu's heart pounding, and he didn't understand what the outcome would be.
“It’s up to people to decide what to do, and what to do is up to God!”
Fortunately, Yang Biao didn't keep him waiting and sighed. After that, he took out the tips bag that he had hidden close to his body and had already prepared, and handed it to Yang Xiu with his own hands and gave instructions.
"Xiu'er, please hold this bag first and don't open it. You can only take it out when Cao Cao attacks Yuan Shao. Remember, remember and don't forget it!"
Seeing that his father was so cautious, Yang Xiu nodded solemnly, indicating that he knew, and then took the kit.
After Yang Xiu put away the kit, Yang Biao continued to explain, "I have asked my servants to arrange the route to Chenliu and the luggage. Don't delay. After you get out, set off immediately to avoid a long night and many dreams."
I saw that my father had made arrangements very carefully, and he clearly seemed to be making arrangements for future generations. Yang Xiu was anxious and advised.
"Since Father also feels that the situation is not optimistic, we have little chance of winning. Let's leave this place of right and wrong together with Xiu'er, go to Cao Cao, and then find a way to deal with Yuan Shao and restore the Han Dynasty."
After listening to Yang Xiu's childish advice, which was probably because he felt sorry for himself and didn't want to put himself in danger, Yang Biao expressed his relief.
But he still shook his head and refused, "Silly boy, what are you talking about? My father is the Imperial Tutor and holds a high position. Who dares to kill me? The worst is to be dismissed or demoted. Don't worry, you'd better leave as soon as possible. ".
Despite what his father said, Yang Xiu was still worried and tried to persuade him for a long time. Seeing that Yang Biao refused to take any advice, he finally ignored him, walked out of the secret room, and returned to his room.
Seeing this, Yang Xiu was speechless and helpless. He had no choice but to obey his father's wishes and follow the servants to set off towards Chenliu. Hope we can meet again one day.
Looking at the lights of the old capital Chang'an that are still lit at night, it must be that the two sides are still fighting. Yang Xiu secretly swore that I would come back, Yuan Shao, just wait for me.
Unknowingly, our Yuan Shao added another enemy, which later brought him a lot of trouble and almost catastrophe. This is something to talk about later, let’s not mention it for now.
Yang Biao also woke up from his memories and no longer thought about this. Everything depends on God's will. I hope everything goes well for Xiu'er.
As for why he didn't escape, Yang Biao was actually helpless. As a veteran of the Three Dynasties and an important minister of the Han Dynasty, every move he made was of great importance. If he fled without a fight, where would he be in front of the Han family?
Besides, as the head of the Yang family, how could he allow himself to take the lead in escaping? It is even more impossible to give up easily, the worst case scenario is to die. Nothing is simpler than death!
I just hope that the alliance with Yuan will arrive soon, so that Yuan Shao can be wiped out and the world can be restored to the great Han Dynasty. I also hope that my backhand will never be used. Because it was just a helpless move. In fact, it did not benefit the Han Dynasty at all. It was just a change of powerful ministers.
