Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 275 Duke Yan Performs Martial Arts, Competing Between Men and Guest?
Ye City, Duke Yan's Mansion!

At this moment in Duke Yan's mansion, the original banquet has been withdrawn, replaced by an incomparably huge martial arts stage.

The huge high platform with a radius of a hundred steps was set up by hundreds of soldiers in just three sticks of incense, so efficient.

Obviously, Yuan Shao came prepared this time.

Tian Feng and the others followed behind Yuan Shao, looking at the confident Yuan Shao, they felt uneasy in their hearts.

The change of this banquet still had to start from half an hour ago, when the wine cup was half full, Yuan Shao picked up the topic.

I don't know whether Yuan Shao told the truth by being drunk, or pretending to be drunk, and issued an ultimatum to the families in Hebei.

The Hebei aristocratic family was explicitly ordered not to engage in any small tricks in the dark while Guan Ning and others were carrying out mass clean-up.

As for Yuan Shao, the Hebei aristocratic family clearly showed their chariots and horses, and their attitude of demanding submission was naturally not to be outdone.

Although they didn't dare to really use swords and guns, expressing that they would rebel or something, there were still many aristocratic families who jumped out directly.

The use of both soft and hard tactics means that if this kind of work of measuring land and clearing out the people continues, I am afraid that "unspeakable" things will happen.

There was even a patriarch of a family surnamed Lin who directly jumped out and said that what Yuan Shao did was doing the opposite, because the world is so big and there are so many righteous men.

Aren't you afraid that someone will imitate Gai Nie and Zhuan Zhu and make a shocking stab?

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao had nothing to say.

Instead, all the Hebei aristocratic families were so frightened that their previous aura of fighting against Yuan Shao suddenly disappeared.

Assassinating the princes along the way, this kind of thing can be thought in the heart, but it must not be said.

The head of the family named Lin said this directly, which was almost the same as flipping the table!
The patriarchs of the major families wanted to draw their swords and hack this guy to death on the spot.

However, Yuan Shao didn't seem to understand the threatening meaning in these words, instead he laughed and said directly.

His son, Qi Hou Yuan Tan sent a bodyguard before, with this bodyguard, no one in the world can hurt his life.

Afterwards, it was the arrangement of the Martial Arts Stage, inviting battles with the heads of the major aristocratic families.

After all, it is not uncommon for aristocratic families to raise private soldiers and retainers.

Private fights between disciples are nothing new to the patriarchs of aristocratic families.

But the problem is, everything seems too coincidental!
Before everyone came, at most they just thought that the Hongmen Banquet would end on bad terms.

Who has ever thought about actually using a knife or a gun in front of Yuan Shao?

Even if it's just the so-called "door-to-door competition".

These are all quite extreme behaviors. How can we do it without some preparation in advance?
But by chance, a patriarch surnamed Lin jumped out and became the first bird.

And Yuan Shao also followed the donkey down the slope, and directly set up the martial arts stage.

If we talk about the beginning, when Yuan Shao said that he would invite all the Patriarchs to experience the martial arts of the Shadow Guards.

These Hebei Patriarchs have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Then, when hundreds of guards from Duke Yan's Mansion filed in and quickly set up a martial arts arena with incomparably skillful movements.

Even the most stupid people realize it.

The big scene in front of me, it is clear, is this Patriarch surnamed Lin, singing a double reed with Yuan Shao!
Even imitate Ge Nie Zhuan's shocking stabbing?
Isn't it just to give Yuan Shao an excuse, so that the patriarchs like himself who are unwilling to bow their heads can see how sharp the blade in Yuan Benchu's hand is?

Thinking of this, the patriarchs of many Hebei aristocratic families looked at the patriarch surnamed Lin with particularly unkind eyes.

It's just that Patriarch Lin closed his eyes with an old god, and he didn't take the cold eyes of the Patriarchs of the family at all into his heart.

Lin Patriarch's idea is very simple.

Although the Lin family is also an aristocratic family, the tallest ancestor in the history of the family is only the prefect of Qianshi.

This qualification may not be low in a place like Hebei, but with the gradual expansion of Yuan Shao's power.

Right now, he can still be ranked in the middle class and get a seat at the banquet that Yuan Shao entertains the heads of the major families every year.

But what about later?

With the current development momentum in Hebei, it is estimated that in a few years, a family of thousands of stones like the Lin family will not be able to rank at all.

As for saying that purging the land and clearing the people would damage the foundation of the family?

joke.

The only people whose roots would be hurt by this kind of policy were the kind of aristocratic families, families with two thousand stones in large numbers.

Only then can so many hidden households be gathered and so many hidden fields gathered.

Even if a thousand-stone family like the Lin family suffers losses, it is far less exaggerated than those rich families, and it is still within the tolerance range.

Since it is acceptable, why not choose to cooperate with Yuan Shao?

Anyway, if they continue to maintain the status of the aristocratic family, it is impossible for the Lin family to continue to rise in the circle of aristocratic families controlled by a number of wealthy families in Hebei.

But if they choose to cooperate with Yuan Shao, as the first loyal dog under Duke Yan's feet, the benefits that the Lin family can reap will be extremely huge!
Thinking of Yuan Shao's promise, Shi Ling, governor of Yongzhou, Zhonglang, Hun Hun of Youzhou, Sima of Biebu and other official positions.

At this moment, the Patriarch of the Lin family only felt that his heart was burning!
Although these positions are all in remote military states, they are all powerful and powerful officials, if they have the ability.

You can even start a new stove without being restrained by the governor or the general.

And these official positions, political power, financial power, and military power are all involved.

As long as the children of the Lin family can gain a firm foothold in these positions, they will flourish.

A hundred years later, the status of the Lin family, even if it cannot be improved by leaps and bounds, at least they can still be among the best among Hebei families.

And the position is so stable that no one can shake it!
In contrast, what benefits can the Lin family gain from forming an alliance with the Hebei family?

Thinking of this, the head of the Lin family opened his eyes, and looked at the eyes of the heads of the surrounding families with a little more contempt.

……

The psychological thoughts of the head of the Lin family are naturally unknown to outsiders.

At this time, the inner thoughts of the heads of the major aristocratic families were also extremely complicated and difficult to describe.

But looking at the martial arts stage, Yuan Hong and Yuan Huang, each wearing heavy armor and holding a sword, stood on the martial arts stage.

The leading patriarchs of the big clan looked at each other and nodded slightly.

The matter has come to this point, even if he doesn't want to use such a crude and direct method, he has no choice but to do it.

Before coming to the banquet, the patriarchs of the major families were able to lead the family to this day, so naturally they would not have thought about what action they should take if the negotiation failed.

Settling disputes with a knife, although crude, has to be admitted to be quite effective.

Besides, it's not them who bleed, but their retainers.

Therefore, soon, under the orders of the various masters, one after another, the knights who dominated Hebei with their bravery were recruited by them to be under their respective sects.

They all rode their horses with swords and came to the front of Duke Yan's mansion.

Look at those rangers who seem to be extremely skilled in martial arts and extremely brave.

Even though the head of the Lin family was full of confidence in Duke Yan, he still glanced in Yuan Shao's direction with some worry at this moment.

However, he and Yuan Shao were far apart and could not be distinguished at all.

All I could see was a slight disdainful smile on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth.
