Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2463: The dispute between Gao and Yuan, the chaos started from within

When the news of Gao Huan and Yuan Shao's death first spread, it was naturally impossible for Yuan Xi to believe it so easily.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could see that this was clearly an attempt to alienate the relationship between him and Gao Huan. If that was the case, it would be impossible for him to fall into this trap so easily.

Secondly, Gao Huan has now become the undisputed number one figure under Yuan Xi, and has a high status in both civil and military affairs.

If he fell out with Gao Huan because of some unfounded rumors, the one who would be happy in the end would definitely be Yuan Tan. If he lost the support of such a person, he would not be able to compete with Yuan Tan head-on.

It was impossible for Yuan Xi to believe this so easily, but Yuan Tan was very happy to believe it.

No matter how this rumor came about, he was happy to believe it. After all, if he could do these things, it would naturally be beneficial to him. It was a rare opportunity for him to take advantage.

Therefore, this rumor has another person fueling the flames.

With this person adding fuel to the fire, it didn't take long for the rumor to spread to all parts of Jizhou.

And these rumors eventually affected Yuan Xi's internal affairs.

Human beings have always been the most complex creatures. And they are also the most fierce infighting creatures.

In Yuan Xi's place, Gao Huan holds all the power. Are the others willing to accept this? Are they willing to be suppressed by one person all the time?
Yuan Xi's place is full of various factions!

His subordinates were mainly divided into four factions.

The first group was actually his supporter from the very beginning.

Among Yuan Shao's three sons, although he had the least supporters, he still had some.

This row has few people and not very strong, but because they have followed Yuan Xi for the longest time, their status is not bad either.

This group of people were the most unwilling to be suppressed by Gao Huan, the latecomer.

After all, people in their faction completely regard themselves as loyal followers of the dragon.

As the big brothers, they have always been very assertive. Although they have not been bossy when dealing with newcomers, they have always felt that they are superior.

After Gao Huan joined, within a short period of time, he not only surpassed them in terms of power and status, but also suppressed them to death. This made the people of this faction extremely unwilling to accept this.

The second group is the supporters left behind by Yuan Shang.

At the beginning, the fight was mainly between the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. After Yuan Shang died, these people were suppressed and turned to rely on Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan to fight.

Although these people do not have the Big Brother-like attitude of those mentioned above, they are also not without the desire to make progress.

However, the cake is only so big. If they want to have the best piece, they naturally cannot let others have the best piece, and naturally they will have to squeeze others out.

The third faction is the one headed by Gao Huan.

Many of these people were his family members, forming a large group. In fact, even Yuan Xi was quite wary of Gao Huan's small group. Especially after Gao Huan came to power, he promoted his own people to a large extent.

However, at this stage, Yuan Xi still has to rely on Gao Huan.

Therefore, although he felt vaguely uncomfortable and wary about some things, he could only turn a blind eye and pretend that he knew nothing.

The fourth group of people are the more scattered ones, or some neutral ones who have defected.

These people are not only fewer in number, but also have a lower status in the group. Therefore, their influence is relatively small.

Therefore, those who are dissatisfied with Gao Huan, who holds great power, are actually mainly concentrated in the first and second groups.

These people took advantage of this incident, thinking they saw an opportunity, and united to suppress Gao Huan.

Facts have proved that when Yuan Shao was still alive, the struggle among the three brothers was mainly between the eldest and the third brother, and the second brother could only be a small transparent person. This is not without reason.

Yuan Xi's ears finally softened a little. Originally, he was sure that this was a plot by others to sow discord among them. However, as people from other factions continued to instigate him, he did not take it seriously at first. But as time went on, he was influenced by these people and finally began to become suspicious.

From initially believing in Gao Huan, he later began to doubt him a little bit.

It was also because of this that Yuan Xi began to think about dispersing Gao Huan's power.

The first thing he took action on was military power.

He vigorously promoted Ju Hu, a rising star in Jizhou, intending to use him to divide Gao Huan's military power.

Ju Hu is the son of Ju Shou, who was once Yuan Shao's trusted adviser. Now, he and his uncle Ju Zong are important figures in Yuan Xi's group.

In the novel, Ju Shou was a man of extraordinary strategy, not inferior to Xun You and Guo Jia. However, Ju Hu did not inherit Ju Shou's strategy, nor did he have extraordinary martial arts. After Cao Cao killed Yin Kai, he continued to march to Handan. Ju Hu led his army to resist Cao's army, and Zhang Liao came out to fight with Hu. After fighting for less than three rounds, Ju Hu turned his horse and ran away. Zhang Liao drew his bow and shot an arrow, killing Ju Hu with one arrow.

However, although he is a little inferior to his father, after all, they have known each other since childhood and know each other well. Yuan Xi is still at ease with him.

And all of Yuan Xi's actions touched Gao Huan's more sensitive nerve.

If power had never been in one's hands, it would be fine. But when it is in one's hands, how many people would be willing to let others take it away from them easily again?
Therefore, from this incident, a rift was completely torn between the two people.

Originally, Gao Huan chose to support the weak Yuan Xi, naturally for his own purposes.

However, even if he had his own purposes, at least on the surface, he still maintained respect for Yuan Xi and did not exceed his duties as a subject.

But from this incident, the relationship between the two people began to change.

Gao Huan could not tolerate anyone trying to divide the power in his hands, so naturally he could not follow Yuan Xi's orders as before. Instead, he resolutely defended the power in his hands, and even his attitude towards Yuan Xi became tougher.

After all, he holds great power, but if he does not ask to give up power, even Yuan Xi will not be able to easily take power away from him.
