Yuan Tan mounted his horse again and walked towards Yi Shui.

Xun Chen followed and glanced back at the high platform in the distance.In the gradually thinning tree shadows, the high platform is as hazy as smoke.

"What does my lord say?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, depressed. "As a son of man, I cannot bear to speak."

Xun Chen withdrew his gaze and scrutinized Yuan Tan for a moment. "Xiansi, this is not your fault, but you should learn from it. Governance should be divided into primary and secondary, otherwise there will be chaos. A small Jizhou can advance and retreat. How can we gain a foothold when we come to the Western Regions in the future?"

Yuan Tan nodded. "Been taught a lesson."

-

After crossing Yishui, Yuan Tan and Xun Chen went straight to Yuan Shu's camp.

I met many soldiers along the way, and after asking their identities, I quickly sent the news back to the camp.

When they arrived at Daying, Yuan Shu who received the news was already standing at the gate of Daying.Before they got off their horses, Yuan Shu greeted them with a big smile.

"Xiansi, why are you here? Miss me?"

Yuan Tan got on his horse and bowed his hands in salute. "Uncle, I have something to ask you for advice."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yuan Shu smiled openly, and glanced at Xun Chen again. "I heard that you went to Hedong, when did you come back? How about it, did you open your eyes this time? You brothers are all smart people, but if you really want to say that the smartest one has to be Wen Ruo."

Xun Chen got off his horse, with a cold face, and ignored Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu chuckled, ignored him, and took Yuan Tan's arm to walk into the big tent. "Tell me, what trouble did you encounter? Don't worry, Uncle will help you settle it."

"Uncle, I want to go to the Western Regions."

Yuan Shu was taken aback. "Western Region?"

Yuan Tan explained his intention in the future.

He wants to go to court to plead guilty, and then go to the Western Regions to fight. The plan is good, but he is not sure whether he can get the emperor's approval.

Xun Chen wasn't sure either, and Xun Yu didn't promise him anything.On the contrary, Xun Yu got it because he was worried that the emperor would think that the Xun family's power in the Western Regions was too great, and there was a hidden danger of being too big to lose.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu scratched his head, and also felt that this request was a bit beyond his ability.

This kind of thing can only be decided by the emperor, otherwise Yuan Tan would not be able to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

"Xiansi, do you want to establish a country in the Western Regions?"

Yuan Tan nodded.In front of Yuan Shu, he has no need to hide.

Whether or not the goal can be achieved depends on Yuan Shu's attitude.Only Yang Biao can help him persuade the emperor, and only Yuan Shu can help Yang Biao help him.

"In this regard, you are better than Bo Yang." Yuan Shu said with emotion: "That Zhu Zi has been in Chang'an for so long, and he can't succeed in literature or martial arts. He can't even cause trouble. He doesn't look like my son at all."

Xun Chen couldn't help curling his lips. "If I were like you, would I still be alive today?"

"What's wrong with me?" Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously. "Am I not more comfortable than you?"

Xun Chen turned his head, not wanting to argue with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu smacked his lips and nodded helplessly. "Let me ask, whether it can be done or not depends on the destiny. But according to me, even if you can't go to the Western Regions, it's better than staying in Jizhou. At least you can sleep more peacefully, right?"

Yuan Tan deeply agrees.

He is so tired.There is no hope in sight, and we must always be on guard against the attack of trial and match.If Youzhou Mu hadn't been Yuan Shu, he might not have been able to hold on long ago.

Instead of suffering, it is better to give up.

"What do you say? If he is willing to go to court with you, this is a chance." Yuan Shu thought for a while, his eyes turned cold. "Or you can take him with you, regardless of whether he likes it or not. With such a credit in hand, the court must give some face."

Yuan Tan quickly raised his hand to stop it.

Yuan Shu could not be allowed to continue talking.Besides, Yuan Shu might let him kill Yuan Shao directly and enter the court with his head.

Yuan Shu blinked his eyes. "If you don't want to do it, let me do it. National laws and family rules, public and private considerations, kill two birds with one stone."

Xun Chen couldn't help himself. "Yuan Gonglu, can you tell me something useful?"

"Why is it useless?" Yuan Shu said angrily: "You scholars usually boast of being resourceful, but when you really do things, you are afraid of wolves and tigers. You want to eat meat, but you are also afraid of getting dirty. Yu Ren. Back then, I was harmed by the Yuan family..."

Yuan Tan hurriedly stopped Yuan Shu. "Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with Youruo."

"I know it has nothing to do with him." Yuan Shu snorted. "If it's related to him, do you think I'll save his life?"

Xun Chen looked embarrassed and was speechless.

While talking, someone rushed in quickly and handed Yuan Shu a letter.Yuan Shu glanced at the cover, and his brows were filled with joy.

"Hey, Xiansi, here's your chance."

"Whose letter?"

"Your sister-in-law. Speaking of which, she rarely writes to me. A sudden letter must have good news."

Xun Chen couldn't help but choked: "How do you know it's not bad news?" As soon as the words came out, he regretted it and spat subconsciously.

Yuan Shu ignored him, opened the letter, read it, and slapped his thigh hard. "Sure enough, heroes see the same thing. Xiansi, look, your sister-in-law also means the same thing."

Yuan Tan was puzzled.

He knew that sister-in-law—Yuan Shu's younger sister—was a formidable character, someone who could control uncle Yang Biao submissively, and didn't even dare to accept a concubine.It is impossible to say that she, like Yuan Shu, advised him to capture Yuan Shao alive and go to Chang'an.

After all, the Yuan family in Runan is a noble family, and this kind of thing that violates the ethics of father and son must not be done.

"What did my sister say?"

"He asked me to persuade you to join the court."

"Uh...how can I persuade you?"

Yuan Shu stroked his beard and sneered. "How else can I persuade you? Of course, bring tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry to persuade you."

Chapter 787

Xun Chen disagreed.

Yuan Shu, the Shepherd of Youzhou, is a nameless figure, and few people really take him seriously.

If these words came from Xun You's mouth, it would still be somewhat credible.From Yuan Shu's mouth, it's a fart.

With tens of thousands of cavalry, he can mobilize up to a few thousand people.

Yuan Tan didn't take it to heart either.

Yuan Shu's incoherent speech, this is something he has known since he was a child.

What is worth noting is the letter from my little aunt, Mrs. Yuan.

As the wife of Situ Yang Biao, Mrs. Yuan has a source of information that is difficult for ordinary people.She can make such a suggestion, which in itself shows that this suggestion has great feasibility.Considering her consistent attitude towards her father Yuan Shao, the person behind it is ready to be revealed.

Yuan Tan decided to rush back immediately and report the news to Yuan Shao.

Xun Chen supported Yuan Tan's decision, and further suggested that Yuan Tan consult with Guo Tu, Xu You, and Feng Ji first.

Yuan Shao's mood is extremely unstable, and he may not be able to make a wise choice.Guo Tu and others are different, they are eagerly waiting for the opportunity of amnesty.The opportunity for Yang Biao and his wife to guarantee is too rare, and they will definitely seize it firmly.

Yuan Tan left, while Xun Chen stayed and continued to discuss with Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shao was obsessed with obsession and refused to enter the court, he would have to carefully consider who to hand over the counties under Yuan Tan's control, and he couldn't return them to the judges and others.

Because Cui Yan stayed in Chang'an and did not return, the court did not give any opinion on the dispute between Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan's father and son. The two prefectures of Hejian and Zhongshan were not under the control of Yuan Tan, so naturally they could not be directly handled by Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shu's attitude is very simple, just send troops to occupy it.If the judge dares to attack, it will be a great battle, and take advantage of the situation to put down Jizhou, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Xun Chen felt that there was no way to discuss with Yuan Shu, so he found a reason and went to Danhan Mountain.

They never expected that Yuan Shu played a big game.

Yuan Shu summoned Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and others, and told them that Yuan Shaoming was stubborn, rejected the imperial edict, and violated Yuan's family law. I have tolerated him for a long time.Now that the imperial court is going to hold a speech, we don’t want to mobilize the crowd. After the spring, we must do it. We must make preparations in advance.

In order to prove his point of view, Yuan Shu took out the recently received Dibao and pointed it out to them one by one, especially two of them.

One is that the imperial court is resettling the Xianbei and Huns who surrendered five years ago in Bingzhou and turning them into registered households.What is an account?That is, those who have to pay taxes and bear various corvees, including military service.

What else can Xianbei and Huns do besides herding sheep?Act as cavalry.

It is conceivable that there must be a large number of Xianbei and Hun cavalry who will invade Jizhou at that time, and Yuan Shao will undoubtedly be defeated.

Another thing is that the imperial court has made up its mind to save the land, and no one can stop it.Those virtuous literature are all hypocrites, talking nonsense, they only have the big families in the Central Plains in their eyes, no ordinary people, and no people like you from the frontier state.

The purpose of the imperial court to save the land is to seek a way out for ordinary people, and it is to advocate justice for border people like You Bingliang.Look at Liu Bei, how reliable is his clan status?But the emperor believed him, restored his clan status, and gave him the opportunity to found a country.

Why was Liu Bei able to defend Pengcheng?It is because of his promotion of Dutian, that he gained the strength of the soldiers.Now he is spending time in Donghai, Pengcheng and other places to support him in the battle with Yuan Xi.

You think about it.If you are still indecisive, you will not have a chance next year.At that time, the worst of the three states of You and Liang will be Youzhou, and the worst of Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan will be the Wuhuan people.

You see, Liangzhou people support the imperial court's use of troops, how many important generals have they produced?As for the Youzhou people, there is no one else except Liu Bei.Tian Chou has been in the court for several years, but there is no news at all.

This is because the emperor has no confidence in the strength of the Youzhou people.

If you have the guts, then follow me to send troops to capture northern Hebei, and let the imperial court see the strength of the people of Youzhou, and see what the real world famous cavalry is.

Xian Yufu and the others were moved, but hesitant.

It is not a small responsibility to send troops without an imperial edict.

Yuan Shu patted his chest and said, don't worry, I am Youzhou Mu.If the court blames me, the responsibility is mine.If there is a reward from the imperial court, the credit is yours.

He said brazenly, I am a lord with a title, and my son, daughter, and son-in-law are all talents, and the youngest daughter will enter the palace to be a nobleman in the future, so there is no shortage of money.For me, it is more important to get rid of Yuan Shao, the scum of the family.There are benefits, all for you.

A few words were spoken, and Yu Fu and the others were elated, and immediately took action.

In a few days, Yuan Shu sent letters to Zhuojun, Guangyang, Yuyang, and Shanggu as a shepherd in Youzhou, recruited troops, and gathered in Zhuojun.

The weather in Youzhou is cold, the autumn harvest is early, the counties and countries have enough money and food, and they are looking for something to do.Hearing that Youzhou Mu dispatched troops, and with the support of Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and others, they acted quickly.

Even the nearby Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes sent cavalry to help out.

In just half a month, Yuan Shu collected [-] cavalry and lined up along the Yishui River, as if preparing to cross the river and attack.

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard the news, and hurried to see Yuan Shu and asked what was going on.

After meeting, Yuan Shu asked Yuan Tan, did you convince him?

Yuan Tan smiled wryly.

Just as Yuan Shu and Xun Chen guessed, Yuan Shao didn't believe Madam Yuan's plan at all, thinking that she just wanted to trick him into Chang'an.If you want him to believe it, you can let the imperial court issue an edict.

No matter how Guo Tu and Xu You tried to persuade him, Yuan Shao refused.

Yuan Shu waved his hand.Then leave it alone and let me do it.Just take care of your subordinates and don't ask yourself to be boring.If both of us lose, it will be a cheap trial match.

Yuan Tan thought about it, and felt that although Yuan Shu was messing around, there was no other way to think of it, so he had to order all the ministries under his command not to resist, and let Yuan Shu cross the river.

Yuan Shu crossed Yishui easily, "defeated" Yuan Tan's subordinates, and surrounded Yuan Shao's camp.

The situation developed too fast, not to mention Xun You and Shen Pei had no time to react, even Yuan Shao was surrounded by Yuan Shu before he could react.

Facing the flamboyant Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's personal guard camp did not dare to resist. Under the persuasion of Feng Ji and others, they put down their weapons and surrendered.

Yuan Shu brought the Thinking Sword and came to Yuan Shao again.

"You're dead anyway." Yuan Shu put his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in front of Yuan Shao. "But you can choose how you die."

Yuan Shao's face flushed with anger, and he was out of breath. "Is there a difference?"

"There is a difference. For example, if you die now, you commit suicide in fear of crime. According to the court system, I will chop off your head, marinate it with lime, send it to Chang'an, and then display it on the north gate of Weiyang Palace for ten and a half months."

Yuan Shu smacked his lips. "Chang'an is very lively recently, there must be a lot of people watching."

Yuan Shao's face suddenly turned pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"You are a guilty minister of Yu State, and the Yu family is a rebellious son. This ancestral grave must not be entered. At that time, you can find a mass grave and bury it. After thinking about it, it may be more appropriate to be buried with Dong Zhuo. On Jiuquan Road, you It’s good to be a companion.”

Yuan Shao was angry and angry, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Gaolu, don't bully people too much."

Yuan Shu bent down, stared at him twice, and said word by word: "Are you a human being?"

Chapter 788

Yuan Shao was unconscious.

No matter what Yuan Shu said, he didn't respond.
