Chapter 530 Loyal and Treacherous Minister
"Yuan Han has met three elders. The lord asked the villain to speak. He said that Yuan Highway was treasonous and unjust. As a lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, he should send troops to kill him and eliminate harm for the country. However, the lord Gu Nian and Yuan Highway came from the same line and couldn't bear to kill his blood relatives, so he let him be presumptuous. If the three elders ask for rescuers for Yuan Highway this time, then I'm afraid the three elders will go for nothing. Because the lord said that it is impossible for him to disobey the great righteousness and send troops to help the thief!"
Yuan Han's words hit the hearts of the three Yuan elders like a heavy hammer. The three Yuan elders' faces suddenly turned pale, and the second elders of the Yuan said with endless sadness.
"At the beginning, I really wanted to die! Highway is his brother!!"
Yuan looked cold and cool, looking ahead, as if he turned a deaf ear to the words of the second elder of the Yuan family.
"I was by no means such a ruthless person at the beginning! Well, you slave, how dare you talk nonsense here? Get out of here! I want to go in and see Benchu and ask him clearly!"
The three elders of the Yuan family are usually hot people. They roared angrily on the spot, and then they wanted to rush to the pavilion. Yuan Han took a step forward and reached out to stop him. At this time, the fifth elder of the Yuan family, who was beside him, also shouted angrily.
"The three old brothers are the elders of the Yuan family!! Yuan Han, how dare you be presumptuous!!"
"Enough!! Uncles!! It's not that Yuan Benchu is ruthless and unrighteous, and he can't save him when he dies. It's Yuan Highway. He didn't measure himself and perish!"
At this moment, a majestic roar burst out. Then Yuan Shao, wearing a golden crouching tiger robe, strode from the pavilion. After seeing Yuan Shao's figure, the three Yuan elders changed their faces. First, they were happy, and then after hearing Yuan Shao's words, their faces suddenly turned pale and bloodless.
Today's Yuan Shao is no longer what it used to be. He sits under the jurisdiction of three prefectures, with 700,000 elite soldiers and armored soldiers under his command, and countless fierce generals and ministers. He is the most powerful princes in the world!
Yuan Shao looked coldly and glanced at the three elders of the Yuan family. The three elders of the Yuan family were all bodies for a while, and the surging momentum emanating from Yuan Shao made them feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
"At the beginning, he was wrong on the highway, but he always had the same blood as you. The two of you are close brothers. Can you bear to watch the road discredited and die without a place to be buried?
"Yes, at the beginning. I know how disrespectful the highway was to you in the past, but that's what you waited for when you were a child. At that time, the highway was still young, why did you always complain about it?
When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were a child, because Yuan Shao showed extraordinary talent since he was a child, he was afraid of Yuan Shu's mother. His mother often instigated Yuan Shu to make things difficult for Yuan Shao's mother and son. Because Yuan Shu was his own son, his identity was more nobler than Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's mother and son did not dare to offend Yuan Shu at all, and they could only endure humiliation. . It was not until Yuan Shao grew up and got a certain identity in the officialdom that Yuan Shu was restrained.
"Hmm. When I was a child? Three uncles, you dare to mention that time in front of me. Do you know that I, Yuan Benchu, have lived to this day, which can be said to be brilliant. Who in the world doesn't know me, Yuan Benchu! However, who knows that I have a humiliated childhood in my life!
If it hadn't been for Feng and Kui's two uncles who had been secretly protecting me, I'm afraid I would have died in the calculation of Yuan Shu's mother and son! However, I, Yuan Ben, was destined to be glorious in the world. The two mothers and children did not succeed. I, Yuan Benchu, survived, but my mother!! More than ten years ago, why did the three uncles suffer from my mother's strange disease? Do you really think I don't know!? I know and understand better than anyone else!!!
But at that time, Yuan Shu was regarded by you as the successor of the Yuan family. You defended him everywhere. If I attack at that time, you will definitely be indiscriminate and try your best to protect him! So I have been forbearing and secretly accumulating my strength, forcing myself to continue to become a force in this troubled world.
I swear in front of my mother's grave that when I am strong enough to overthrow the Yuan clan in Runan, I will definitely avenge her! Heaven has eyes. Although this period of time is five years, I finally take revenge. You can see how happy I was when I watched the woman being dismembered by five horses and then swallowed her body to the hungry dog!"
Yuan Shao's face was as gloomy as a devil, and every word was full of hatred. His words made the three Yuan elders change again and again. Finally, the second elders of the Yuan family stared wide and exclaimed with sadness.
"Five years ago, the mother of the highway disappeared, and the person behind the scenes turned out to be you!!! Yuan Benchu, you, you, you!!! It's so crazy!!!"
"Hahahahaha!!!!! Crazy?!!! I, Yuan Benchu, am crazy!!!! Second uncle, you are so biased!!! My mother died tragically, and you disappeared on the day of worship. I don't even want to sacrifice a fragrance for my mother!! After her death, her tablet was even three inches of Yuan's ancestral hall, and the three of you and others refused to give it!!
The person who killed my mother was at large, but you ignored it!!! Isn't it all because you and the three of you forced me to do this!!!"
Suddenly, Yuan Shao laughed crazily. His eyes were quickly stained by red light, and his face was full of hatred. Every word of Yuan Shao is like a blade cut in the hearts of the three elders of the Yuan family. Perhaps because of guilt, the three elders of the Yuan family bowed their heads and their eyes were dim.
After a long time, the second elder of the Yuan family took a deep breath of air. At this moment, he seemed to be ten years old again.
"When will the injustice be reprieved? In the past, I admitted that the three of us were wrong. After going back this time, I will have people put the tablet of Shuang'er in Yuan's ancestral hall. As for the mother of the highway, as a woman, she is vicious and vicious, and she is indeed worthy of death. I will also adhere to the family law and return the innocence of the frost.
At the beginning, this is the point. I can't pull this old face any more, and I beg you to send troops to rescue the highway. I just hope you still remember that you have the blood of Runan Yuan. From today on, you are the patriarch of the Yuan family in Runan. After the three of them went back, and after returning the grievances of Shuang'er, the three of them resigned from the position of elders.
The second elder of the Yuan family said and looked deeply at Yuan Shao. But Yuan Shao's face is still cold. The second elder of the Yuan family sighed again, as if he were weak, as if his vitality would be exhausted. He turned around silently and staggered a few steps. His third and fifth brothers hurried to help him and took him to the door outside the house.
In the struggle of the clan, there will never be tragedies. It is also exabling for Yuan Shao to save his brother Yuan Shu. After all, no one is a saint, and the hatred of killing his mother is not the same. With Yuan Shao's temperament, he did not fall into the well at this time, which was Yuan Shu's luck.
A few days later, in Huainan Shouchun City.
Sun Jian, with Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu and other generals, led 30,000 vanguard troops and entered Shouchun City. When Yuan Shu heard that the soldiers came to report, Sun Jian's reinforcements finally arrived and hurriedly greeted him at the gate with a group of Wen Wu of his Zhongshi Dynasty. Sun Jian wore a tiger-headed rotten silver armor and rode a red-brown BMW in front of the army. Seeing Yuan Shu in the imperial robe approaching, Sun Jian quickly rolled his saddle and got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to Yuan Shu to hold the emperor's salute.
"Sun Wentai has met His Majesty, long live my emperor!!"
"Hahahaha! Aiqing, no gift, no gift! As soon as my loyal marquis arrives, Cao Liu's allied forces are like rotten grass, and I can rest assured!"
Yuan Shu was overjoyed and quickly helped up Sun Jian. Then he said good words to comfort him, and the reward was naturally indispensable. Sun Jian sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he was flattered and thanked Yuan Shu for his reward.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu behind Yuan Shu, the two silently looked at Yuan Shu and Sun Jian acting hypocritically, and both of them secretly had a lot of communication with Sun Jian. As for Yan Xiang, a counselor under Yuan Shu's command, he had been frowning and observing the military horses brought by Sun Jian. The more he looked at it, the more ominous he felt in his heart became.
Because the 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by Sun Jian were all the soldiers and horses he recruited in Jiangdong and the thief soldiers he subdued, and the 50,000 elite soldiers Yuan Shu lent him did not even see a single figure. This is so weird that Yan Xiang has to be suspicious.
"At this time, it is the time of the Lord's life and death, and there can be no change. If this Sun Wentai suddenly rebelled, then the lord can do it!!"
Yan Xiang suddenly felt in her heart, her eyes widened, and she was shocked by a cold sweat. Zhou Yu knew that Yan Xiang had always had a vicious vision, so he paid attention to him from time to time in the dark.
"This elephant is really not simple. It seems that he has found something wrong.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yu's bright eyes narrowed slightly, and then said a few words to Sun Ce beside him, and then walked over to Yan Xiang with a smile at the corners of his mouth. When Yan Xiang saw Zhou Yu coming, his heart suddenly tightened. After restraining a little doubt, he saluted Zhou Yu first. Zhou Yu smiled and then returned the salute. The two talked in detail. Although they were talking, their thoughts were not on each other. Yan Xiang wanted to find an opportunity to remind Yuan Shu, but he was entangled by Zhou Yu's continuous search for some insignificant topics, and it was difficult to get out for a while. Later, Yan Xiang couldn't resist the urgency in his heart. After making amends to Zhou Yu, he rushed to Yuan Shu in a hurry.
When Yan Xiang approached Yuan Shu in a hurry, Yuan Shu was still talking to Sun Jian, but he didn't know when Sun Ce came to Sun Jian's side. However, Yan Xiang did not find out that he condensed his face and cast a wink at Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu frowned unhlightly, asked Sun Jian to wait in place for the time being, and then walked aside with Yan Xiang.
"Your Majesty, have you found something wrong with the soldiers and horses brought by Sun Wentai?"
"Isn't it appropriate? Why is it wrong for the Lord Zhonglie to be loyal to me? Yan Xiang, you are so narrow-minded, how dare I reuse it for you! Since Bo Fu and Gong Jin came under my command, you have always had a lot of remarks about them. At this time of national crisis, you'd better accept your jealousy. If it's bad for me, I won't spare you!"
"Your Majesty!! Weichen, your majesty has been working for twelve years. How can your majesty not know how he is! If Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin are loyal and righteous people, how can there be any criticism from Weichen? Didn't your majesty notice that since Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin came, these two people have been secretly helping Sun Wentai accumulate strength secretly? If it hadn't been for the instigation of the two of them, how would your majesty have repeatedly funded the huge grain soldiers in Sun Wentai!"
Yuan Shu's words can be said to make Yan Xiang feel cold, but Yan Xiang is a foolish and loyal man. Yuan Shu treats him like this, and he still continues to admonish with a loyal heart.
"Enough! The loyal marquis annihilated the thief for me. How can I spare the food? That's all for Yan Xiang. If you have another slander, I will cut your head!"
For a moment, Yuan Shu shouted violently at Yan Xiang. After saying that, he shook his sleeves and was about to leave. Yan Xiang quickly knelt down and said sadly.
"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen again!!!"
"Yanxiang!!! You really think I dare not kill you!!"
"Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you have to die! Weichen only knows loyalty to the country and never knows how to fight for power and be jealous. I hope your majesty can see it clearly!!"
Yan Xiang shouted and bowed, kowtowed heavily to the ground, and the observers were all moved. Yuan Shu restrained his expression and said with a cold face.
