Three Kingdoms: The eldest son of the Yuan family, he grabs Zhen Ji at the beginning and becomes ind

Nanpi City.

The news of Yuan Tan's execution of Dong Zhuo had arrived for many days, and the city was still abuzz with heated discussions about the matter.

And inside the Yuan family's mansion.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei forcefully occupied Yuan Shao's meeting hall and issued an ultimatum to him to attend the family meeting.

The news of Dong Zhuo's execution made Yuan Shao feel like he was carrying a huge mountain on his back. He didn't want to come at all, but he had no choice but to come. Two sons, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, followed. Only when the three of them reached the door could they feel the bursts of pressure coming from inside.

"Third brother, I didn't expect that the eldest brother actually went to kill Dong Zhuo and succeeded!" Yuan Xi really didn't dare to think about what happened after entering.

Yuan Shang was even more worried. Such a clan meeting had been held twice in more than ten years. The last time was when Yuan Wei was promoted to the position of Third Duke.

I thought that my father had offended all the Yuan family members by not saving the clan members. If Yuan Tan hadn't rescued the family members, things would have been much easier now.

"Dad, I'm afraid he didn't establish my eldest brother's status. Now that we are alone in the clan, how should we deal with it?" Yuan Shang finally felt a little weak, and he was so suppressed that he couldn't help but speak out.

"Calm down, you two go back." Yuan Shao thought for a while and frowned.

Yuan Shang let out a sigh of relief and wished to leave quickly.

When Yuan Shao entered the hall, he saw his father Yuan Feng and uncle Yuan Wei sitting upright in the hall, with hundreds of tribesmen sitting or standing on both sides.

The sense of ceremony was comparable to opening an ancestral hall, which made Yuan Shao very uncomfortable. Although he is the overlord of one party, the head of the Yuan family, and he is majestic and arrogant outside, but here, the towering crown meets the roots.

"Father, uncle." Yuan Shao saluted.

"My son, you're here, sit down." Yuan Feng said expressionlessly.

The first seat in the hall was vacant, reserved for Yuan Shao. He had no choice but to walk over and sit down, with the eyes of his tribe following him.

Yuan Wei touched his beard and said, "Every room is here. Today we are talking about the eldest grandson Yuan Tan. At this time, you also heard that Tan Er killed Dong Zhuo, right?"

"Yes, uncle." Yuan Shao felt uncomfortable all over.

Yuan Feng was shocked at the time, but he is still excited now: "It turns out that Tan'er did such a big thing. He didn't say it before, because he was afraid that others would worry. He is such a good boy, no, no, no, his grandson has already grown up, and he has become a generation A hero, a real hero! Ben Chu, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao looked very bad and had to say: "What my father said is true. My family has been honored by the Han Dynasty, and I will be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Now that I have shown my mind to kill the national traitors, the world is very lucky, and the Yuan family is very lucky."

Yuan Feng was very solemn at this time, "As my father, I will discuss it with the second old master. We must establish Tan'er's status as heir. What do you think?"

"What the two old gentlemen said is true, and we have no objection."

"Yes, we have no objection."

Yuan Feng was very happy. It has been rare for many years to be so united, so he said: "Benchu, as the current head of the family, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao has been used to it for more than a year, but he doesn't have any say here.

He knew that staying here would only lead to suffering, and there was no way he could agree to it. The long-term pain would be worse than the short-term pain, so he stood up directly and said with a salute: "Dad, Yuan Tan dares to separate the family even though all his fathers and grandfathers are here. This is really treasonous. How can an unfilial descendant be appointed as his heir? My dear, I’m sorry to obey my orders, but I’ll say goodbye!”

After speaking, he left directly.

After everyone in the Yuan family was stunned, everyone was very angry.

You must know that if Yuan Tan had not come to Luoyang to rescue him, no one here would have survived. The day before yesterday, he heard that Dong Zhuo was executed. I was shocked and admired at the same time.

Seeing Yuan Shao's attitude, those who didn't hate Yuan Shao much before now do, and those who hated Yuan Shao before now hate him even more.

I guess you were the one who forced us to separate the family!

Such a good eldest son, but instead of nurturing him, he suppressed him. Damn it, Yuan Benchu, are you still fit to be the head of the family?

Originally, we were under control at that time, so we made you the head of the family just to keep the incense flowing. But now you insist on going your own way and insist on letting us accompany you to be despised by the world, right? Can you still be the head of this family?

"Master, this matter concerns the future of my Yuan family, we can't end it hastily!"

"Old Master, I really have my own way of doing things this time...my Yuan family is above fire and water!"

The crowd was excited and came out to speak. They don't just miss Yuan Tan's life-saving grace. In such troubled times, the family needs such a guardian.

Elder Yuan Feng was also very dissatisfied, but after all, Yuan Shao also had a pivotal position in the family, so he couldn't be abandoned. This would also be detrimental to the family, so we could only think about it in the long term.

……

Quyang County, the seat of Shanggu County.

On Yuan Tan's side, with the addition of Zhang Liao, the generals are no longer so weak, and they have the strength to compete with Yuan Shao in both civil and military affairs.

The prosperity of the local area makes Zhao Yun and others full of expectations for the future. Especially when his eyes fell on the talisman of Beizhong Langjiang, Yuan Tan was as good as anyone in the world in terms of personal prestige or official position in the court. He had gained it all with his sword and his spear.

What Yuan Tan needs to do most now is to accumulate the huge supplies needed for a large-scale battle. Whether the opponent is Yuan Shao or someone else, the melee in the north is not far away.

Xu Shu: "My eldest son, the public sentiment in the local area is extremely high, and the enthusiasm for production is high!"

There is no need to worry too much about things that are already on the right track.

Yuan Tan mentioned another matter, "How is the affairs of the Talent Recruitment Hall?"

Xu Shu replied: "After you left, two people from the army came to join us. They are quite talented generals. Many people from the civil service also came, but no real talents have been found yet."

For rulers, the reserve of officials is also very important, as it determines Yuan Tan's ability to control local areas in the future.

There were some things that Xu Shu didn't say, but Yuan Tan had also learned privately that as he reported illness and disappeared, the number of people coming to the recruitment hall became less and less, and there was even no one at all.

"We can't let go of the affairs of the Talent Recruitment Hall. We are in urgent need of talented people. Don't be too picky. Only those with over [-] abilities and qualified qualifications will be used." Yuan Tan frowned. How can he be limited to one county in the future? There are only a few great sages after all. In the future, it would be great if every county can have one with an ability of over [-].

Xu Shu perked up and said, "Eldest Young Master, please rest assured, my subordinates are thinking that the turning point has arrived!"

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Don't take it lightly. My father's influence is very great, especially my grandfather's and his friends are also in Nanpi now. Their influence is still the same. By the way, do you know the Pu family?"

Xu Shu was stunned and felt that he could not keep up with Yuan Tan's leaps of thinking. Fortunately, he was also a great strategist and had accumulated a lot on a daily basis. "I have heard that the Pu family is a top family in the blacksmith industry and is now settled in Datong County, Bingzhou. There. It produces coal and iron ore and is home to a large number of blacksmiths. That’s where we buy our coal and iron.”

Yuan Tan just tried to ask, but he didn't expect to know. He was very satisfied at this moment, which showed that Xu Shu's work was meticulous, "I am planning to make a lot of steel. If I can conquer the Pu family and join our army, I believe it will attract a large number of blacksmiths." .”

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao looked at each other, most willing to hear such a thing.

Xu Shu was also very excited. This shows that Yuan Tan is very ambitious. He wants to mass-produce weapons and expand the army. "I will do it now!"

However, Xu Shu found this matter difficult to handle. After all, Yuan Tan was not looking for an ordinary blacksmith, but a blacksmith family like the Pu family. You can imagine how difficult it is to attract them to come with their families.

However, facing up to the difficulties is exactly what the military advisor needs to do.

At this time Dian Wei walked in and said, "My eldest son, Mr. Guo Tu would like to see you."
