The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130

Only then did Liu Bei come to his senses: "What—Guo Tu went to kill——to kill Cen Bi's family—" I turned around and cried on the ground; "Uncle Emperor, Yuan Xi was really forced to do nothing, It was Cen Bi who was going to kill me first, please Emperor Mingjian, I am a great loyal minister, just now I mentioned to the general that I want to lead troops to capture Guandu, if I am not a loyal minister, I would not do this."

As soon as Yuan Tan heard about Guandu, he thought of Xuchang, and when he thought of Xuchang, he thought of being emperor, and he immediately felt grateful to me.I stood up to help each other, took my hand, and said softly: "Second brother, please get up, don't be sad, I know your loyalty, the emperor is also a loyal minister, he is too worried, forget it, this matter is over It's fine when it's over."

Liu Bei knew at a glance that he was late, and Yuan Xi must have coaxed Yuan Tan into submission, so it was too late to say anything now, so he immediately changed his words; "Ah, it was a misunderstanding——Bi blamed the Second Young Master by mistake, what a sin. ” Said to the soldiers behind him: “Go down, go down quickly.”

While wiping my tears, I said: "Uncle Huang, you are also loyal to the country. How could I take offense? Everyone is a loyal minister, and they are all for the sake of the general. It's okay."

Yuan Tan sat back and said with a smile: "Okay, under my general's command is Uncle Guo Tu, who is a capable minister to help the world. Wu You has two younger brothers and Wang Zhao, who are decisive generals who will win thousands of miles. Don't worry about Cao's bandit not being wiped out, and the world will not be defeated. Come on, Uncle Emperor, you sit down too, let's have a drink." Liu Bei thought, Yuan Xi has already met Yuan Shang, and he must be clear about Yuan Tan's activities and actions.Unless he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is determined to follow Yuan Tan, or he has ulterior motives.If they are in civil turmoil, I will take the opportunity to have more Jizhou——

I saw that Liu Bei was full of thoughts, his complexion changed, and I knew he was planning. I thought to myself, the night is full of dreams. At this time, the most important thing is to hurry up. I will go to see Jia Xu immediately, discuss countermeasures, and drive Yuan Tan out of power.

The most important thing is peaceful evolution, and the Cao thief cannot be given an opportunity.

Liu Bei had something on his mind, so he couldn't sit still after drinking a few glasses of wine. He stood up as if his butt was on fire, and said some nonsense about family affairs and busy work, so he escaped the banquet with an excuse.He ran away, and I didn't want to stay for a long time. I had to go to Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.As soon as Liu Bei left the house, I stood up and said that I hadn't been home for a long time and I was going to visit my mother.As soon as Yuan Tan heard the words of mother, his face immediately became longer than that of a donkey, and he waved his hands impatiently, like chasing away flies and mosquitoes: "Go, go, go."

I respectfully knelt down and saluted, then backed up, walking back to the door with the small steps that Guo Tufang had practiced before turning around.

After leaving the door, I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's over, Yuan Tan is over, and Jizhou is also over if this continues."

I thought to myself, I'd better go see my mother first, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Guo Tu and others.So from the hall, turn left, walk through the corridor, come to the inner house, and directly enter the mother's room.

Lan Xiang, my mother's personal servant girl, saw me coming in, and ran into the house happily, shouting as she ran, "Old lady, old lady, the second son is back, the second son is back." I went up the steps and shouted; " Mother, the child is back, mother—" he called and walked in.There was no one in the living room, and there was a violent coughing from the inner room: "Xi'er, is that you, come in quickly, mother is thinking about you right now, come in."

"Mother--"

Lan Xiang raised the curtain, and I was already standing in the room. "Mother, you—" I couldn't bear to watch the scene in front of me.

I haven't seen her for a year, and my mother has completely changed. She is leaning on the couch, her face is no longer rosy, her eyes are dark and sad, she seems to have lost all three souls, her cheeks have no flesh, and she has lost a lot of weight.The arm stretched out to me was trembling. In his fifties, he is as weak as an eighty-year-old.There were still tears in his eyes, and he could see that he had just cried.Her temple hair is disheveled and unkempt, and she still looks like a lady there.

She must have known about Yuan Shang and was shocked.I hurried over, grabbed her hand, and said softly: "Third brother is fine, third brother is fine, mother, you can rest assured."

Lan Xiang hurried over and gave her a hand on her back so that she could sit up.After listening to my words, my mother was stunned for a while, and her sluggish eyes seemed to be thrown a small stone, and suddenly there was a bit of brilliance.Glory turned into teardrops rolling in the eye sockets.

"Shang'er, he's still alive." The mother said absentmindedly.

"Alive, live well, mother can rest assured." I don't know how to comfort her, I can only repeat the news over and over again.

My mother pushed me away like someone who woke up from a nightmare; "Xi'er, hurry up, hurry up, if you don't leave, it will be too late—you, you shouldn't come back, that naughty son, he won't let you go, you— - you go."

My heart bleeds: "Mother, I just want to ask you one thing - how did your father die, tell me the truth."

Mother didn't speak, she just wept, like an unrefined village woman. "Xi'er, listen to your mother, hurry up and leave, mother can't watch you being harmed by him, you can go." He coughed violently again.The color of the coughing face changed, and the breath was uneven.

Lan Xiang patted her chest lightly.

The anger in my heart was soaring like the north wind, I turned my head and said to Lan Xiang: "The old lady is ill, has the eldest son visited her?"

Lan Xiang was startled, bit her lip, and shook her head.It seems that he dare not speak out.

Yuan Tan is crazy and inhumane.Bastard, he's not my big brother anymore.I sneered, and said to Lan Xiang: "Take good care of Madam, outside things, you should talk about what you should talk about, and what you shouldn't talk about. Don't talk nonsense, you know."

Lan Xiang nodded again and again: "I don't dare, I don't dare." I broke free from my mother's clenched hands with all my strength, and didn't look at her eyes full of calf-licking feelings. Curtain, go out.Yuan Tan has done all the bad things, and it is his own fault. Now is the time to pay the price.

When the autumn wind blows, it is the time when stamens are cold and fragrant, and chrysanthemums are blooming everywhere.There is a field of yellow chrysanthemums inside the gate of my mansion, and they are all swaying in the wind at this time, showing off their style to autumn.Each flower is like a handful of gold in the hands of a beauty, dazzling and eye-catching.That's Cai Yan's favorite color, and she planted the flowers too, and they've grown up now.

Cai Yan pushed open the window facing the chrysanthemum, and when he took a deep breath of the fragrance of the flower, he saw me appearing in the window.She was so happy that she almost jumped up; "Ah, Yuan Xi, you are back." Cai Yan, who was wearing colorful clothes, ran out of the house like a butterfly flying through the flowers, and threw herself into my arms: "Xi, you are back .”

There was love in my heart, but also helplessness, I hugged her shoulder and said: "I want to go out for a while, you wait for me." Cai Yan was startled; "Are you going to leave before entering the house? Why." I said; " Don't ask so many questions, in short, you must not go out today, and don't go there unless I come to pick you up." Who is Cai Yan, Bingxue is smart and knowledgeable, and has a certain understanding of politics and is very sensitive.

Cai Yan raised his face and smiled bitterly; "It's about to start, right? I knew you would do this a long time ago. I prepared a tool for the road for myself. It's a machete. Would you like to see it?"

I smiled and said, "Okay, then take it out." Cai Yan took out a two-foot-long dagger inlaid with green gemstones from his wide sleeve.She gently pulled out the knife, with the pale light shining on her long eyelashes, she said softly; "It's very sharp, I tried it, and cut off the table leg with one knife."

I shed tears with heartache; "It's meaningless for you to do this. It's an intentional debt to my conscience. I can't implicate you."

Cai Yan held my face: "From the very beginning, I knew that you would do this when you came back. I am willing to die with you, that's because if you leave me alone in the world, I will find it very boring. With you here, I am not afraid to go to the Underworld."

Jia Xu is like a political tumbler, no matter how fast the waves are or how strong the wind and sand are, he will not be overthrown.He has his own magic weapons and means to deal with everything.Yuan Tan and Guo Tu also valued him very much, he is now Jizhou's best friend.But Jia Xu didn't take this bullshit seriously. Although this person strictly abides by the law of keeping a low profile and bide his time, in my opinion, he is just waiting for the wisher to take the bait and catch a prince and duke to do it.So he dismisses political idiots like Yuan Tan.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to use Cao Pi's method of transporting silk to meet him.Both the cart and the silk were ready-made, so I hid under the silk and entered Jia Xu's mansion
No matter whether Yuan Tan will send someone to monitor or not, it is safer.

When I came to the gate of Jia's mansion, my coachman handed over a card saying that it was the Second Young Master who came back and brought a gift to Mrs. Jia Xu.The guard at the gate respectfully let him go without saying a word.After a while, a man who looked like a housekeeper led the way, and the coachman went to a secluded place where no one was around, let me out first, and then took the silk to Jia Xu's house to count the number.The housekeeper was not surprised at all, he seemed to know that there was someone in the silk, he waved his hand lightly and said: "Second Young Master, please come here, there is no one here, the master is waiting."

What's the meaning?I knew I was coming.

I stared and said, "Do you recognize me?" The housekeeper smiled and said, "As soon as the master heard that the second son sent someone to give gifts, he knew you were here, and told me to bring you in from here."

I smiled wryly; "That's better, it saves me a lot of talking, and he must know why I'm here."

Jia Xu's mansion is not big, and there are not many servants. There are only five or six people around him, which is in line with his usual low-key style.He has no wife, let alone a concubine. The people in the mansion are all carefully selected and strictly inspected and brought from Wancheng. In Jia Xu's words, it is not suitable to replace the people who are often used around him.It is true that in the Three Kingdoms period, many big figures like Dong Cheng died at the hands of villains around them.What Jia Xu said makes sense.

"Second Young Master, you are finally back." Jia Xu Daqiu was still shaking his folding fan, looking at me with a smile on his face.I got two kinds of information from his wrinkled smiling face. First, he will help me, and second, this guy has a well-planned plan.

"Mr. must have known the purpose of my visit?" I asked eagerly.

Jia Xu didn't hide his strength this time, but held my hand and said excitedly, "Xu has been waiting for this day for a long time." When Jia Xu heard about the rebellion, she became extra energetic.

I glanced around, this is a bedroom, there is only one bed, one incense burner, and one low table.It's very shabby, and I don't pay attention to the things that can be used on the couch.It was just the two of us in the house.I looked out of the window again, only the autumn light of the garden, and the sudden autumn wind disturbing the leaves, very quiet and safe.

I said: "Sir, let's make it clear. Yuan Tan can no longer be a general. I want to replace him. Please plan for me. I hate it, I don't have my troops in the city. I don't want to fight each other and kill each other." , let Cao thief have an opportunity to take advantage of, what can I do?"

Jia Xu said mysteriously: "Xu already has a plan here, just wait for the young master to come back to discuss important matters." I wondered: "How did you know that Yuan Xi will rebel." Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "I have been with you for so long, so I don't know In your mind, Yuan Tan's bloody slaughter, ignoring the life and death of the people, with the wisdom and martial arts of the Second Young Master, it is impossible to sit idly by, so I signaled Xu to make some preparations in advance—"

This flattery made me very comfortable, and the haze of many days was relieved a lot.

"What preparations have you made?" I asked in surprise.

Jia Xu took square steps, walked around the room, and said slowly, "Xu has already talked to several people in private, and they are also panicked, afraid of Yuan Tan's harm, and are willing to side with you."

"Who? You've discussed with me about it. Whether it's reliable or not, don't mess it up."

Jia Xu said: "There are three people, Zhang Nan, Feng Li, and Liu Xun. After observing them for a long time, Xu found that they were also dissatisfied with Yuan Tan's actions, so I consulted with them. Zhang Nan admired them. The second son is a man, and Feng Li is Yuan Shang's old general. Although he bribed Guo Tu to save his life temporarily, he lives in trembling every day. He is terrified when there is any trouble, and he is a little nervous when he is scared to death. So I don't want to If things go on like this, they will rise up and rebel. As for Liu Xun, he is the former subordinate of Guan Tong, the two have a deep friendship, and they are quite upright, absolutely reliable."

I shook my head and said, "It's useless to be reliable, you need to have military power."

Jia Xu said: "Who does the second son think Xu is? If they are useless, will I bother? Feng Li is the captain of Dongmen, and he has a lot of soldiers in his hands, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he can open the door. At the gate of the city, let in the troops of our army outside the city. However, there are still [-] Jizhou soldiers in the city, [-] of which are in the hands of Brother Liu Bei. The black dragon riders outside the city cannot control the situation, my son You don't want to kill wantonly, so Zhang Nan and Liu Xun will be useful. Zhang Nan used to be a member of Yuan Tan, and he was highly valued by him. Tomorrow, when he is on duty, he will take action at the moment he is on duty, and he will capture Yuan Tan without anyone noticing. I will definitely support the son to succeed you as the general."
