Chapter 137 Critical Illness

When Yuan Shang arrived, the battle in Guzhong was over.

After Cao Jun's Cheng Yu shot Yuan Shao's abdomen with an arrow secretly, the two sides hardly had any more entanglements, and then they stopped their troops and retreated. Cao Cao continued to lead his troops to flee to the west, while Yuan Jun protected the seriously injured Yuan Shao, spurting blood, retreated to the east, and slowly withdrew from the valley.

The setting sun is setting, the blood-colored setting sun, the sky above the head, and the thousands of mountains under the feet, seem to be alluding to the end of the current hero.
Yuan Shao was placed on a temporary stretcher made of ordnance and cloth, his eyes were swollen, and he seemed faint. On the wound on his abdomen, blood was still slowly pouring out. move.

"Father!"

Seeing such a situation, Yuan Shang's heart tightened, he hurriedly got off his horse and ran to Yuan Shao's side, while calling softly, he put his hand on the pulse gate of Yuan Shao's right wrist.

With this touch, Yuan Shang's heart suddenly felt cold.

Although he doesn't understand medical theory, Yuan Shao's weak pulse can tell people that his condition is not very good at the moment.

"Beep, beep." The pulse was surprisingly small.

The so-called life hanging by a thread, or exhaustion, probably describes the current Yuan Shao.

As if he heard Yuan Shang's call, Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of blood on his pale face. Accompanied by the violent heaving of his chest, dark red blood froth kept escaping from the corners of his mouth, and his breath was loose like gossamer. .

"Xianfu, is that you?"

Yuan Shang nodded heavily: "Father, it's me, I'm sorry, the child is late"

Yuan Shao's body fell limply on the stretcher, but he forced himself to smile nonchalantly: "Son, father tried his best, but in the end he let Cao thief escape. Alas, it took a lot of kung fu and strength, but in the end it was Such an ending is left behind, Xianfu, maybe I really am not a good father."

Yuan Shang's eyes were hot, and he tried his best to hold back his tears, and said: "Well, these things should actually be done by children. Speaking of it, it is true that I am not a good son!"

The smile on Yuan Shao's lips seemed to grow stronger, and he said, "You must never guess why I went after Cao Mengde myself! Because I really hope that before I die, I can leave a piece of trouble-free country for you brothers. Foundation, let your future roads be easier. Unfortunately, the world makes people...Yuan can't resist God's will after all."

Yuan Shang's heart was twisted like a knife, and he had thousands of words but didn't know where to start.

Yuan Shao's breathing became more and more rapid, and his trembling hands tried to hold Yuan Shang's arm backwards, but this usually easy movement seemed extremely difficult at this moment.

A ray of sadness of the hero's end rose spontaneously, but was soon swallowed up by his innate arrogance. He gritted his teeth and grabbed Yuan Shang's left arm, panting: "I have been a father for the rest of my life, so why should I fear death! I just want to ask you, after the death of your father, can you stand up to the Yuan family, expand the Yuan family, wipe out the heroes, and calm the world?"

The tears in Yuan Shang's eyes could no longer be contained, and finally rushed out, saying: "Father, you will be fine, you will definitely recover, and you will once again hold a horse and knife, and cross the world. My child is willing to be my father's right and left hand for the rest of my life, and fight with you All under heaven, please take good care of your wounds and take care of your health!"

A gratified smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth, he shook his head and said, "Fool, the world is so big, no one will die, so why should we avoid it?"

Having said that, he turned his head and passed out again.

"Father! Quickly withdraw the troops! Quickly withdraw Li Yang!"

********************
In April of the sixth year of Jian'an, when Yuan Shao was chasing Cao Cao in Fuyi Mountain, he was shot in the lower abdomen by an arrow from Cao Jun Cheng Yu.

Although the battle was won, but because of Yuan Shao's injury, the entire army did not have the slightest joy. From the top generals to the soldiers of the three armies, all were silent in a haze and panic.

At the end of April, all the Yuan troops who had deployed in Cangting retreated back to Liyang Tunza, and sent Yuan Shao, who had been in a coma, to the post to recuperate. The Liu family and a group of important officials from Yuan Shao's lineage rushed to Liyang to visit in case of unexpected events.

See you again, I'm afraid there is really no chance.

Almost all the forces that could be mobilized were mobilized, and all the famous doctors in Yecheng and Liyang were invited by Yuan Shi to diagnose and treat Yuan Shao's injuries.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao really hurt the foundation of his vitality this time, even though all the famous doctors resorted to all kinds of tricks, Yuan Shao's injury did not get better.

He woke up several times and fell into a coma several times. His consciousness became more and more blurred.

Life hangs by a thread, only dying.

Yuan Shao's body became heavier and heavier, which affected the hearts of the people in the four prefectures of Hebei and the future trend of the Yuan family.

Although the news was secret, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. It didn't take long for counties and counties all over the country to learn of Yuan Shao's injury one after another.

************
Inside the Liyang Pavilion, a gloomy and dignified sadness enveloped everyone's hearts, which made people want to suffocate.

Mrs. Liu stood by Yuan Shao's side all the time, shedding tears every day.

Yuan Shao's sons are also sticking to the post, and everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.

Yuan's civil servants and military generals are also restless and impetuous, and almost no one is in the mood to deal with political and military affairs.

This situation lasted for seventeen days, and it didn't get better until Yuan Shao woke up from a coma.

It's a pity that his condition didn't improve much. After the doctor's pulse diagnosis, he concluded that it was worse than before.

This, perhaps, is the so-called Huiguang method.

Yuan Shao also knew that his end was approaching, as soon as he woke up, he hurriedly ordered his three sons and nephew and all the important civil and military personnel under him to come to his room.

But what is surprising is that Zhao Yun and Deng Chang, two people who are Yuan Shang's confidants but have no intersection with Yuan Shao, are also included.

What does it mean to call Yuan Shang's confidants and all the important ministers to his bed together?
Many people have already begun to secretly speculate.

In the dormitory, Yuan Shao was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, his usually half-black and half-white hair was now almost gray, disheveled and messy scattered around the pillow, his heroic face looked old and weak.

Seeing everyone coming in, a weak smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shao's mouth.Yuan Shang's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, sat on the edge of the bed, drooping her head and silently wiping her tears.

Looking at Yuan Shao's pale smile, everyone felt even more uncomfortable. They saluted and bowed their heads one by one, and forced themselves to hold back the tears that welled up in their eyes.

"My lords, Yuan's birthday is approaching, I'm afraid today is the day I want to say goodbye to you."

"Lord!"

The judge who came from Yecheng first shed two lines of dirty tears, and said bitterly: "My lord, you will be fine! No! Please take care of your health and stay healthy in the future. We still want to follow the Lord's justice." The world, clean up the world, and get rewarded!"

Yuan Shao shook his head lightly, and said: "Human life and death are governed by the laws of heaven, which cannot be hindered by manpower. After all, Yuan is also one of the mortals. I had thought that such a day would come, but I never thought that this day would be It’s a little too fast to come so fast.”

When everyone heard the words, they all broke down in tears.

In a trance, it seems to hear Yuan Shao's weak voice calling: "Xiansi, Xianyi, Xianfu, Maier, you four come here."

The four brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Yuan Mai hurried forward and half knelt in front of Yuan Shao's bed.

Yuan Xi's Adam's apple rolled a few times with difficulty, and said in a harsh voice, "Father, we are here."

Yuan Shao looked at the four sons in relief, and said in a dark tone: "Sons, I have to leave because of my father."
Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang are all grown up with strong minds, but Yuan Mai is young. After listening to Yuan Shao's words, the tears in his eyes dripped down the cheeks of Yuan Shao's quilt.
"Father, you won't die... You promised me years ago that you would personally teach the child how to ride and shoot. If you leave, what will happen to the child?"

Yuan Shao heaved a long sigh, and in his eyes, muddy tears rolled down.

"My child, my father also hates you. It's just that in life, who can escape the disaster of death? You are still young, and you are not deeply involved in the world. If you go as a father, you should respect your three elder brothers. Big and small, you need to take care of yourself." You have to ask them to make decisions for you, and you can’t do it arbitrarily.”

Yuan Mai burst into tears and kept nodding his forehead.

Slowly turning his head to one side, Yuan Shao's eyes flicked back and forth on several sons, and finally fell on Yuan Shang.

"Xianfu, come closer"

When Yuan Shang heard this, his half-kneeling body hurriedly moved a few steps to the side of the soft couch.

"Father?"

Yuan Shao panted heavily, and spoke slowly in an extremely weak voice that could be heard by everyone in the room.

"Today, if you are in the position of being a father, how do you want to go in the future of the four prefectures of Hebei?"

One sentence stirred up thousands of waves, and all the civil and military people in the room were shocked when they heard it.

What does this sentence mean?
Yuan Tan also knelt by the side of the bed, his face was pale, he looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief, then turned his head to look at Yuan Shang.

For a moment, jealousy and resentment filled Yuan Tan's eyes.

Yuan Shang pondered quietly for a while, and then he said slowly: "Stop the army and stop the war, rest and recuperate, farm the fields to raise food, cut down the soldiers, enrich the Ao warehouse, recruit talents, and wait for the right time."

Yuan Shao nodded lightly, and said: "When the prosperity is extremely low, whether it is extremely prosperous or not, it is really too much for a father in the past, Xianfu, do it according to your own ideas, the country of these four states, today is the father's sole authority." Entrusted to you. From now on, you are the honor of Hebei, the family of the Yuan family, and you will be the master from now on!"

Yuan Tan on the side was stunned when he heard the words, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Yuan Shang's heart tightened, and he said, "Father, I."

Yuan Shao cut off his mouth and said: "You don't have to evade, and you can't evade. Zhongxing Yuan, who else can you? Among you four brothers, only you can bear this burden! Forgive me for the burden my father left you. Endgame, but I believe you can handle it, you will definitely do it!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Shang's hand, tightened it tightly, fixed his eyes on this son who looked very much like himself, and said, "Promise me!"

Yuan Shang burst into tears, he stroked his head before the couch, bowed his head and said: "Yes, father! The child will do everything possible to live up to the entrustment, rejuvenate the Yuan family, wipe out Cao Cao, and wash away today's shame and shame!"

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, his face was flushed with excitement, and he murmured: "That's good, that's good, children, father, I'm sorry for you, a mistake caused my Yuan family to fight twice in Guandu and Cangting. Humiliation twice."

"Cao Thief is a traitor in the world, far beyond the reach of ordinary people, but I believe that as long as the four of you brothers work together, one day, you will be able to defeat Cao Cao and pacify the land of Zhongzhou. The greatest glory of my father in this life is to You guys! With your brothers here, why worry about the Yuan family's unhappiness, why worry about the restlessness of the world..."

Yuan Shao's voice became softer and weaker, and his hand suddenly let go, slipping from Yuan Shang's palm and hanging on the edge of the soft couch.

"Father—!" Yuan Shang's heart sank, and he let out an earth-shattering roar.

"My lord—!" All the important ministers in the room immediately fell to their knees.

But seeing Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Mai also cried out in pain, they threw themselves on Yuan Shao's bed, and cried bitterly on Yuan Shao's body.

Yuan Shang's expression was heavy, and he fixedly looked at Yuan Shao's remains. For a moment like that, he almost thought that he was in an illusory nightmare.

When a person dies, the lamp is extinguished, and the body is destroyed. No matter how powerful he was and looked down on the world when he was alive, after a vigorous life, he is finally silent.

Tears flowed down my cheeks, Yuan Shang's heart seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shao is not really his father, but his concern and love for him are from the bottom of his heart.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Now suddenly, Yuan Shang suddenly realized that Yuan Shao's weight in his heart was so heavy.

It's not the first time he has experienced life and death, but it has never been the same as this time, with such pain in his chest, such grief, and even felt that his heart was hollowed out and his blood was wrung out.

Yuan Shang didn't want to take back the hand that held Yuan Shao tightly, he tried his best to squeeze himself, secretly praying for a miracle to happen.

In the bottom of my heart, there is a voice calling unwillingly, as if hoping, as if refusing...

The miracle actually happened!

But seeing Yuan Shao who was dead just now, he suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily, and cold sweat instantly fell from his forehead.

"Father. Father is alive, and father is alive again!" Yuan Shang shouted excitedly.

"My lord? My lord is alive again?" The courtiers looked up one after another, as if they couldn't believe the scene before them.

Yuan Shao's chest was raised and lowered, his nostrils were sprayed with strong air, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Yuan Shang hurriedly got up, put his head on Yuan Shao's pillow, and said in a low voice: "Father, what's the matter with you? Do you want to say something to the child?"

But seeing Yuan Shao raised his hand with difficulty, pointing tremblingly at Yuan Tan who was crying on his quilt, his dry lips moved slightly, and he spoke to Yuan Shang in words like the sound of mosquitoes.

"Ni, Ni, let him go. This bastard put pressure on my abdominal wound!"
