I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 159 Sleeping with enough rest
In fact, it should be said that after getting married, Yuan Shao's temperament has been more or less restrained. He has also reflected on what happened in the past and on Yuan Shu, and feels that his actions were indeed not very good.

From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that I was the one who started the trouble, and Yuan Shu... always fought back in self-defense.

He also knew that he had done some things wrong, but he just couldn't stand Yuan Shu. He felt that what belonged to him was taken away by him, while what he owned was not available to him, and he felt very unbalanced.

Especially as he saw him becoming more and more powerful, compared to him, his half-brother seemed even more insignificant and useless. However, Yuan Shao was very sensitive and had a strong self-esteem, and he simply could not stand this kind of gap.

He wanted to lie down and tried hard, but he couldn't do it. He couldn't convince himself to accept his mediocre self.

He could not compare with Yuan Ji. As the eldest son, he could not compare with him no matter what.

But at least as the second legitimate son, Yuan Shu, he wanted to compete with him.

But Yuan Shu was far more powerful than Yuan Ji. If Yuan Ji had not been the eldest son, Yuan Shu would definitely have been the next head of the Runan Yuan family.

But even though Yuan Ji was the eldest son, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei still opened a back door for Yuan Shu and found another way to help him set up a new sect and expand his influence.

Open the family tree alone!

For every member of the family, this is an irresistible temptation, but this matter is too important and too crucial. For several consecutive generations, perhaps only one person in a generation can receive such an honor.

From now on, Yuan Shu would become the primary object of worship by his tribe members. During every New Year and other festivals, he would enjoy the incense of the entire tribe, be placed at the top of the list for grand sacrifices and remembrance, and eat as much of the sacrificial offerings as he wanted.

And what about Yuan Shao?
It can only be placed in some inconspicuous corner, where it can absorb some incense ash, share a bite of cold pork, fill its stomach a little, and comfort itself.

This gap is too big.

Yuan Shao, who had a very strong sense of self-esteem, couldn't stand it!

His hands clenched involuntarily.

Li noticed Yuan Shao's action, and she seemed to be aware of the unrest in Yuan Shao's heart as she was very observant.

So she wiped her hands and held Yuan Shao's hand.

Yuan Shao was stunned and looked at Li.

"My dear husband, in my heart, you are always the best."

His gentle and virtuous wife soothed Yuan Shao's restless heart. Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile. He reached out to help Li up, held her in his arms, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

Although I don't have such a good background and talent, but...

I have a wife who thinks I am the best in the world!
Yuan Shu, do you have it?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao seemed to regain a little sense of balance.

But this is not enough.

He didn't want to be the best in the world just in this room, he also wanted to be the best in bigger occasions, so he decided to continue the tactics he had discussed with Xu You and Cao Cao.

He made use of Li Ying's political legacy to properly manage the relationship with the party members, and used the methods of protecting and rescuing the party members to gain reputation and overtake Yuan Shu.

No matter what, Yuan Shu is only seventeen years old, while he is already twenty years old. He will soon be able to enter the official career, become an official, possess power, and travel all over the world, so!
Twenty years old versus seventeen years old, the advantage is on me!

So Yuan Shu, you just have to wait patiently!
By the time you enter the officialdom, I will have become a well-known official with a salary of 2,000 stones!
I want to be a big shot in the political arena!
Yuan Shao decided on his own strategy for moving forward.

On the same night, Yuan Shu was not without close friends around him.

Xiuxiu lived in Yuan's house and did not go to Luoyang Liangzhuang with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu considered that most of his supporters were single, and it would have a bad influence if he were to go around the city alone with a woman.

So he would only spend time with Xiuxiu when he returned to live in Yuan Mansion.

As a sub-adult with a healthy body but a dirty heart, he raped Xiuxiu after bringing her to Luoyang a few months ago.

Afterwards, Yuan Shu felt that his spirit and body had been sublimated. He worked hard for several days, but still felt unsatisfied. So he had sex with Chunlian and Qiutong as well, and only then did he feel slightly satisfied.

There's no way, seventeen-year-olds are just unable to control themselves.

Finally, one-on-one matches could no longer satisfy Yuan Shu, so he often started group sports championships with the three of them, or he would duel with one of the three, while the other two would cheer him on and give him some off-field assistance. They had a lot of fun.

After their relationship took a step further, Xiuxiu and the other two no longer had any worries and served Yuan Shu wholeheartedly. As long as he returned to live in the Yuan Mansion, they would make sure he was comfortable and do everything they could to please him and satisfy him.

For example, tonight, Xiuxiu boiled water for him to wash his feet, while Chunlian and Qiutong massaged his shoulders and arms respectively, relieving his fatigue and emptiness from the past month.

Looking at Yuan Shu's satisfied and comfortable expression, Xiuxiu's eyes were full of affection and her heart was about to melt. Although there was a huge gap in status and it was impossible for her to become his legal wife, as long as she could always be by his side and receive his love, Xiuxiu had nothing else to ask for.

She loved him so much that she wanted to give him everything, even though what she had was very limited.

Yuan Shu was extremely compassionate to his first woman. After she washed his feet, Yuan Shu hugged Xiuxiu in his arms tightly, which made the sisters Chunlian and Qiutong extremely envious.

Being in Yuan's mansion, Yuan Shu naturally felt like he had a beautiful girl in his arms and could enjoy himself as he wanted.

But this does not mean that Yuan Shu was alone, lonely and cold when he was in Liangzhuang, and could only sleep alone during the long night.

He also stayed in Liangzhuang every night.

As an excellent leader and a gifted political operator, Yuan Shu was well aware that the fact that he was not yet an adult and did not have power was a huge disadvantage.

In order to maintain his power, he had to use better promotion mechanisms and superior material conditions to maintain his control over people's hearts.

But he also knew very well that these were not enough. The promotion mechanism and material conditions here were relatively excellent rather than absolutely superior, so if he wanted to maintain the attraction of talents for a long time, he needed more special ways.

After much thought, he felt that he had nothing special to offer, so he had no choice but to sacrifice himself and use his body to increase his appeal to talented people.

The specific method is to [sleep with your feet together].

That is, when he lived alone in Liangzhuang, he would choose different subordinates to sleep in the same bed with him every night, with their feet touching each other, chatting about life and ideals. He used the time alone at night to get to know his subordinates in depth and give them genuine care.

He figured out this method after sleeping in the same bed with Jia Xu for several days.

He remembered that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei maintained their relationship in this way, and in the end they indeed stayed together for life.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang seemed to be similar. Zhuge Liang also died and burned himself out.

Judging from the special trust that the Shu Han officials had in Liu Bei, Yuan Shu guessed that Liu Bei must have slept with more than just Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, but must have slept with other people as well, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people following him so wholeheartedly.

In the end, he had to express his gratitude to his son and wholeheartedly help his son maintain his empire.

People who have been treated sincerely by Liu Bei would find it difficult to adapt to the emotionless and purely utilitarian treatment in other places.

From this perspective, Lao Liu understands his own strengths and weaknesses, so he focuses on emotional value and uses the special advantages of his high position to launch a special appeasement offensive on his subordinates, completely capturing their hearts and gaining their following.

The emotional value he brought to his subordinates was unique in the entire late Eastern Han Dynasty. No other warlord would or would be willing to sleep in the same bed with his subordinates.

For example, Mr. Cao Cao.

This man directly stated that he liked to kill people in his dreams, even the person who covered him with a quilt. He refused to let anyone approach him, so how could he sleep in the same bed with his subordinates?

As a master of emotions, Liu Bei always treated his subordinates with sincerity and sincerity, and maximized their value. Therefore, even those who left him due to practical reasons would never speak ill of him or slander his character.

Yuan Shu felt that he should learn from such advanced deeds.

As a leader, when resources are insufficient, sleeping in the same bed with your subordinates with feet touching each other is a great way to win their hearts.

If you can’t provide very good material conditions, then focus on satisfying the emotional value.

Humans are emotional animals, and cold-blooded political animals are a minority after all. Emotional value is absolutely of great significance to human beings themselves.

I give you what other leaders cannot possibly give you, and what other leaders sneer at is my specialty.

This scorpion's tail has a unique emotional value. Without me, you will never find it anywhere.

Without me, you will never find a warm-hearted leader who cares about you and shows concern for you.

In a sense, this is the source of unique personal charm.

After Yuan Shu figured it out, he slept side by side with Cheng Li, Lu Zhi, the Thirteen Guardians, and other outstanding cadres of the Yi Xin Society. Not only did he spend time together during the day, he even used his private space at night to win people's hearts.

He felt that he had really used all of himself, his wisdom, energy, physical strength, and even his body. He dedicated himself entirely to the cause of the Isshin Society.

According to rough statistics, from Maoling to Liangzhuang in Luoyang, in the past two or three years, he has slept with more than 300 outstanding members, and many of them have slept with him more than once.

For example, Jia Xu slept with him feet touching each other eleven times, Cheng Li slept with him feet touching each other twelve times, and Lu Zhi slept with him feet touching each other eighteen times.

He would examine anyone who was excellent, had made contributions, and had outstanding achievements, then invite him to his bedroom for a detailed discussion and sleep with him.
