Inside Jingxing Pass.
In the military camp, the Chinese army has a large tent.
Yuan Xi is reading a book. He has nothing to do and only reads books in the army. It's just that these days, Yuan Xi is always in a trance and has difficulty doing things calmly. Tian Chou did not attack directly, but Tian Chou could attack at any time, posing a threat to Jingxing Pass.
In addition, Tian Chou's judgment of Taiyuan in the rear and Yuan Shang also made Yuan Xi a little flustered.
Yuan Xi has more expectations in his heart.
Father, please think more about him, no, just think about him a little bit.
Yuan Xi was upset and had no intention of reading, so he simply threw down the book in his hand, left the Chinese army tent and headed towards the Jingxingguan tower. As soon as he arrived at the tower, he saw Guo Tu also on the tower. Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Guo!"
Guo Tu saluted and said: "Second Young Master!"
Yuan Xi asked: "Mr. Guo is not resting in the tent, so what are you doing on the tower?"
Guo Tu's expression was a little hesitant and a bit dejected, and he said with emotion: "To be honest with you, Second Young Master, I am a little depressed and at a loss. At the end of last year, I went to Suanzao County on behalf of the king and met Lu Xuan and the soldiers of Lu Xuan's army. .”
"These people are all high-spirited and extremely brave."
"The key is that Lu Xuan's civil servants and generals, whether it's Zhou Yu or others, all have a certain energy. It's a ruthlessness that chooses and devours people, as if they want to annex the world at any time."
"Now that I think about it, I feel a little desperate."
"So although Tian Chou didn't attack, I'm still very worried in my heart."
Guo Tu smiled and said: "Second Young Master, I originally came to Jingxingguan to make suggestions. Now, I have hindered you. I am really ashamed. Second Young Master, please rest assured that I will quickly adjust my mentality and will not affect the morale of the army. It will not affect the battle."
Such a gesture made Yuan Xi feel the same.
Yuan Xi put his hands on the city wall. He looked at the distance outside Jingxing Pass and could see the area where the Wu army was encamped.
Yuan Xi took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Guo, it's not just you, but also this young master. Lu Xuan's troops are invincible, who is not afraid of them? My father lost all his troops in Hejian Kingdom last year, including Zhang He and Gao Landu surrendered, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also beheaded, who wouldn't be afraid?"
Guo Tu nodded and said: "Second Young Master is right, if you can delay some time now, just delay it for some time."
Yuan Xi said: "That's what it means."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier quickly ran over, walked to Yuan Xi's side, and reported: "Sir, someone at home has come to report the news."
Yuan Xi said: "Bring the people up."
The soldiers went to deliver the order. After a while, the soldiers from Yuan Xi's mansion arrived and said quickly: "Sir, the King of Jin has issued an edict to appoint Yuan Shang as the crown prince of the King of Jin and establish the successor of the Jin Kingdom. At present, the prince oversees the country and everything in the Jin Kingdom. They all obey Yuan Shang’s arrangements.”
boom! !
It was as if thunder exploded in Yuan Xi's mind.
His hands on the city wall clenched into fists instantly, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
He didn't ask for much, just a little bit of face from his father would be fine. However, he had already left Taiyuan and took the initiative to go to the front line to resist Wu's troops. Now, his father insisted on naming Yuan Shang as his heir apparent.
With Yuan Shang's petty character and Yuan Shang's reckless willfulness, he will definitely seize power from him and control his direct army.
"hateful!"
Yuan Xi slammed his fist on the city wall.
When Guo Tu saw this scene, he smiled in his heart. After this move was completed, it depends on how he provokes Yuan Xi.
Guo Tu sighed and said: "Everyone knows that the king prefers the third son. When the eldest son was in Qingzhou, he was the eldest son. Wasn't he also suppressed? Now it is normal to appoint the third son. In my opinion, the second son is the eldest son. Young Master still has to consider the overall situation."
Yuan Xi's eyes turned red.
His eyes were red and he said with murderous intent: "They don't think about the overall situation. Why should I, Yuan Xi, think about the overall situation? They appointed the heir apparent when I left Taiyuan City to humiliate me on purpose."
Guo Tu said: "Things have already happened, and there is no way to change it. If the second young master stays in Taiyuan City, there will be people who will support him, enough to contain the third young master. Now that you have come to Jingxing Pass, these people will naturally support the third young master."
"Right now, it's not the time to consider who the heir to the throne will be."
"What we have to do now is to seek political power in its position and hold Jingxing Pass first. If Jingxing Pass is there, there will still be a chance to fight for it. If Jingxing Pass is lost and Wu's army comes in, there will be nothing left. "
"No matter what, the Second Young Master has tried his best and defeated all the troops to defend Jingxing Pass. Only in this way, the King of Jin and the Third Young Master in the rear, as well as all those who support the Third Young Master, still have to acknowledge your kindness. "
Guo Tu seemed to comfort Yuan Xi.
However, every word of comfort was like a sharp knife piercing Yuan Xi's heart.
Appreciation?
He doesn't need Yuan Shang's favor?
Yuan Shang was shameless, and Yuan Shao didn't care if he resisted at Jingxing Pass. Why should he resist?
Guo Tu noticed Yuan Xi's expression and became more determined, and continued: "Second Young Master, no matter what, we still have to consider the overall situation. With Jingxing Pass here, everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the hard-won peace, and also enjoy it. gain a foothold."
"Why?"
Yuan Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide and roared.
He suddenly grasped the sword at his waist and pointed it at Guo Tu. The ferocious gesture scared Guo Tu's scalp to numbness and he took a step back suddenly.
ah! !
Yuan Xi yelled sternly.
The sword he held turned and struck the city wall.
There was only a loud clang sound, and the sword blade was shaken, and Yuan Xi's hand holding the sword continued to tremble. He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he stared at Guo Tu, and further questioned: "Mr. Guo, why should I take care of the overall situation?"
Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, he was really worried that Yuan Xi would go crazy and strike him with a sword.
Guo Tu said sternly: "Second Young Master, if you ignore the overall situation, it will be like overturning the table, and everyone will have no time to play. Your guarding Jingxing Pass is related to the safety of Taiyuan. This place must be guarded, otherwise Tianchou will march straight in. The state of Jin, Guo Zuo, is gone."
“If it’s gone, it’s gone!”
Yuan Xi spoke again.
His hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and he said loudly: "Tian Chou is right, why should I pay? My father is enjoying himself in the rear, and Yuan Shang, the reckless man, is unscrupulous in the rear. It is not worth my effort."
"By surrendering to the Kingdom of Wu, I can protect the Yuan family. In the future, the Yuan family will still accept my love and rely on me. I am the savior of the Yuan family and the most important person in the Yuan family, not Yuan Shang. Reckless man."
"My father doesn't care about me, and my brother plots against me, so I won't care."
Yuan Xi held up his sword and stared at Guo Tu and said: "Mr. Guo, I plan to submit to Tian Chou and welcome Tian Chou's army to enter the pass. Will you follow me and submit, or will you insist on serving your father?"
Guo Tu looked like he was hesitating to speak, and sighed: "Second Young Master, why is this happening?"
Yuan Xi said: "They don't care about me, don't they allow me to make my own decision? Mr. Guo, in one sentence, do you want to do it or not?"
"well……"
Guo Tu sighed.
He looked helpless, cupped his hands and said, "Guo Tu, I am willing to obey the second master's arrangement."
"good!"
Yuan Xi looked approvingly and ordered: "Come here!"
"exist!"
The soldier stepped forward to answer.
Yuan Xi ordered: "Immediately go to Tianchou's military camp and shout that I, Yuan Xi, am willing to submit to the Kingdom of Wu and surrender."
"Here!"
The soldier got the order and quickly went to inform.
When Guo Tu saw this scene, a smile flashed across his eyes. In a blink of an eye, he regained his composure and waited quietly.
