Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2421 Yuan Tan kills his father, Yuan Xi returns to Ji
When he said this, Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

This should have been a great opportunity, but given the current situation of their Dajin, they are afraid that they will lose this great opportunity.

Of course, this opportunity was not only beyond the grasp of Dajin, but also beyond the grasp of all the forces in the world. Even if they were jealous of this opportunity, they had no choice but to let this great opportunity slip away from their hands at this juncture.

Even though we knew clearly that attacking Jizhou at this time would definitely be a great opportunity.

Compared to Yuan Shao, his sons were much inferior to him. Compared to Yuan Shao, it was much easier to deal with his sons.

However, unfortunately, now, all their forces are in a weak state.

I'm afraid everyone will miss this opportunity in vain.

At this stage, having just experienced the plague, all the forces are trying to recover from the trauma caused by the plague and restore their former strength. Even the Jin army is unable to send troops at this time.

Not to mention other families!
But no one knew that at this time, in Jizhou, a huge change was quietly coming!
Over the years, Yuan Shao fought against the Jin army several times, and lost countless famous and brave generals.

However, all of these famous and brave generals who were killed were his trusted confidants.

There are even many talented people who are from the Yuan family.

Now, the three fierce men of the Yuan family, Yuan Hong at the beginning, were trapped in the fire and thunder array under Li Xiang's design. At this time, not even a bone residue was left.

Yuan Shen, another of the three fierce warriors of the Yuan family, fought his way out of the siege alone in the battle in the south, but until now, his life or death is still unknown and no one knows his whereabouts.

Even during the previous three years of the epidemic, Yuan Shao was trying to find the whereabouts of Yuan Shen.

But, alas, there has been no news for so many years.

The only thing that could comfort them was that although they didn't receive any good news, at least they didn't receive any bad news either.

At least, even up to now, no one has found Yuan Shen's body. At least, even up to now, there is no evidence that Yuan Shen has died in the battle.

Therefore, the people of Jizhou always had a little bit of luck in their hearts. They didn't receive any bad news, and they were looking forward to it in their hearts, if one day in the future, Yuan Shen would return to Jizhou again!

But at least for now, of the three mighty warriors of the Yuan family who once dominated the world, only Yuan Sheng is left, and he is still in Jizhou.

Moreover, in Jizhou, apart from the three brave warriors of the Yuan family, even the Yuan family's first general, Yuan Chonghuan, and even his Guanning Iron Cavalry, were all killed in the war in the south and in the Jianghuai battlefield.

In addition, in recent years, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Zhang Rou, Yuan Da, Ju Shou... many of his trusted generals or brave generals have either been lost to the Jin army or have died on the battlefield.

In Jizhou today, the number of people who are truly loyal to Yuan Shao is actually much less than during the peak period.

In particular, Yuan Shao’s sons were fighting with each other in Jizhou.

However, after Yuan Shang's death, among Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Tan is now the most powerful one.

Inevitably, those who supported Yuan Shang at the beginning were also suppressed by Yuan Tan after Yuan Shang's death. Therefore, after Yuan Shang died of the plague, Shen Pei, Han Meng, Han Rong and others had a very difficult life.

From a long-term perspective, Yuan Shang's death is indeed a good thing for the entire Jizhou.

However, no matter what, temporary pain is always inevitable.

If he had not lost too many of his trusted confidants and had not experienced temporary internal pain, Yuan Shao would not have given anyone the opportunity to take advantage of him and would have been poisoned to death instead.

Cui Hao and Yuan Xi, who returned from Qingzhou, tried their best to hide the real cause of Yuan Shao's death.

It would be fine if Yuan Shao died of a normal illness, and it would have been a shock to them, but, at least, at this stage, everyone was seriously injured by the impact of the plague, and no one could threaten them at this time.

However, Yuan Shao was poisoned to death.

Poisoning, Yuan Xi and Cui Hao, they were both top-level strategists, both of them knew very well that this was most likely not caused by external factors.

When everyone is badly injured and unable to annex them, poisoning Yuan Shao at this time is a complete waste of effort and time.

Therefore, the two of them knew very well that the reason behind this incident was most likely not due to external factors, but something done by them internally.

In many cases, internal problems are more serious than external crises.

However, the man in the dark was obviously using one method after another. Yuan Xi had just returned and hadn't figured out everything yet, but at this moment, the man in the dark had already used his last move.

The day after he came back, rumors about Yuan Tan murdering his father and intending to seize the position of the lord of Jizhou spread everywhere, and it was impossible to suppress it even if they wanted to.

For a time, Yuan Tan's reputation in Jizhou was completely ruined.

Of course, Yuan Xi didn’t really take this so-called rumor to heart.

Yuan Shang was already dead, and although there was still a Yuan Xi, it had to be said that he was not qualified to compete with Yuan Tan in all aspects. Only Yuan Shang, who relied on Yuan Shao's favor, was able to compete with Yuan Tan.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Tan had no motivation to take action at all.

Even if he didn't take action, the power of Jizhou would fall into his hands in a few years. Why should he take such a risk just for these few years?

Things like this involve huge risks!
Who would take this path unless they were forced to the last step?
Besides, if the rumor could be true, it wouldn't be called a rumor. But all rumors are basically not true, they are malicious slander, hiding the most direct purpose of the person behind it.

Therefore, the more this rumor spread, the less likely Yuan Xi would take it as true. Instead, he tried every possible way to find out what was behind it.

However, it must be said that this rumor did cause a lot of trouble for Yuan Tan, and further brought huge trouble to their Jizhou.
