When Wen Chou and others saw that Yuan Xi had agreed, they all worshiped together: "I'll wait to see you, your lord!"
Yuan Xi directly put on the airs that a lord should have, looked around Wen Chou and others, and said loudly: "Since you regard me as the master, you must obey my orders. General Wen, let me ask you, are you the whole city?"
Are the soldiers and generals firmly in your hands?"
Wen Chou saw that Yuan Xi's heroic spirit suddenly emerged, and he praised him secretly in his heart, and then replied: "My lord, there are 83,600 soldiers in the city, and 578 generals, big and small."
As long as I wait for an order, I will be willing to obey my lord's orders."
Yuan Xi said: "Very good, then as the lord, I will issue a few orders to you now. You must complete them quickly. There are still two or three hours before dawn. I want you to completely clean up the trial team within an hour."
, Guo Tu’s henchmen in the city.”
Wen Chou saw that Yuan Xi was showing his domineering attitude and was not as feminine as he appeared on the surface. He felt happy in his heart: "Yuan Xi is very handsome and has the same ambition as my old master. It seems that I, Wen Chou, have chosen the right person this time. Instead of that,
Waiting for the trial match and Guo Tu to gain power, it is better to take the power yourself. As the number one general under the old lord's account, the trial partner and Guo Tu exchanged bad words from time to time. Today I want to make these two people pay back all their capital and profits.
return!"
Yuan Xi paused and continued: "Chun Yudao, I will now appoint you as the governor of Julu, taking over the position of your brother Chun Yuqiong. You will lead your personal entourage to the prison, take Jushou out of the cell, and go directly to the palace.
Zhaohou Mansion."
Director Chunyu felt grateful to Yuan Xi. His brother Chunyu Qiong died in Yingtao City, and Yuan Shao didn't even ask about it. Moreover, he was not reused and he had long been resentful of Yuan Shao. At this time, I abdicated and replaced his son.
, although he knew that this was his son trying to win over people's hearts, he was still willing to obey Yuan Xi's instructions, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "No!"
Yuan Xi then ordered: "Lü Kuang, Lu Xiang, each of you will lead 500 people to surround Shen Pei's mansion. No one in the family, old or young, will be left behind."
Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang said in unison: "Nuo!"
"Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, each of you will lead 500 men to surround Guo Tu's residence. Kill them all. No one should be spared alive."
Jiang Qi and Jiang Ji said in unison: "Yes!"
"Zhang Nan, Jiang Yiqu, each of you will lead a 500-person search throughout the city to search for Guo Tu's accomplices. Once captured, they will all be thrown into prison and charged with collaborating with the enemy."
Zhang Nan and Jiang Yiqu clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Lord!"
Wen Chou stood aside and heard Yuan Xi give these instructions. He immediately felt that Yuan Xi was quite heroic, and the things he ordered were very orderly and very clear, and he did not have the kindness of a woman like Yuan Shao. The most important thing was that Yuan Xi had just just
After accepting the generals' visit, he immediately understood the identity of his lord, and he was very orderly in issuing orders. He seemed to have already planned out what he should do and what he shouldn't do. This quick change of thinking impressed him endlessly.
"Wen Chou!" Yuan Xi shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Wen Chou replied, cupping his fists.
Yuan Xi said: "The Jin army is all tiger and wolf troops, and Lu Bu is even more courageous. He will be stationed outside the west gate first. I ask you to guard it properly. I will take care of everything in the city. Please send someone to inform Han Meng.
General Yan Liang, ask them to guard the city gate well and not to worry about the people in the city. In addition, please ask your closest people to follow me. I want to go into the house to see my father. When I see Ma Yan, he will be able to know my identity.
Already."
Wen Chou felt that Yuan Xi was very organized. He couldn't believe that this series of things came from a man who was only fifteen years old, which made him, a general on the battlefield, feel a little inferior. He clicked
He nodded and shouted outside the door: "Zhang Wei!"
A man wearing armor pushed the door open and walked in. He was tall and strong with thick eyebrows. He clasped his fists and said, "General, what are your orders?"
Wen Chou said: "You should accompany my lord to the Marquis Mansion to meet Ma Yan. You should know what to do next?"
Zhang Wei said: "The general will eventually understand!"
Yuan Xi said: "Well, without further ado, let's take action now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xi walked straight out of the door, followed closely by Zhang Wei.
As soon as Yuan Xi walked out of the room, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Jiang Qi, Jiang Ji, Jiang Yiqu, Zhang Nan, and Director Chunyu all surrounded Wen Chou and said in unison: "General, from now on you must really listen to me.
The master’s order?”
Wen Chou said: "What second young master? It's the lord! From now on, he is our lord. The old lord has lost his ambition to dominate the world. He has collapsed just because of a small setback in the Battle of Julu. I, Wen Chou, can't.
You need to serve such a lord. Since you just
They all agreed to choose Yuan Xi as the lord, so don’t regret it. As long as Shen Pei and Guo Tu are killed, we and other warriors will have a chance to make a comeback. After rescuing Ju Sue, Ju Sue’s strategy will definitely help us get out of the predicament.
, and then take a counterattack, and the recovery of Jizhou will be just around the corner."
After hearing this, all the generals also strengthened their confidence and said in unison: "We understand!"
Wen Chou said: "Okay, judge, Guo Tu has always treated us soldiers with contempt, this time it is time to let them taste our power, and Yuan Xi does have the appearance of a hero, as long as everyone works together
If we survive this crisis and add support, we will definitely become the hero of Hebei. Well, since the Lord has given us orders, we should follow them and go quickly. Don't delay any more, otherwise things will change if we are late."
Everyone said: "No!"
………………
Zhaohou Mansion.
Yuan Xi came galloping with Zhang Wei on horseback. When the soldiers guarding the Zhaohou Mansion saw it, they immediately went to notify Ma Yan.
Ma Yan walked out of the house and saw Zhang Wei following Yuan Xi. Thinking that the matter was almost done, he immediately got out of the way without saying a word and only made a "please" to Yuan Xi.
gesture!
Seeing that Ma Yan understood, Yuan Xi rode his horse to Ma Yan's side and asked, "Where is my father?"
Ma Yan said: "We are having fun in the palace!"
Although the Zhaohou Mansion is said to be a Hou Mansion, it was built as a palace when it was built. When Yuan Shao was in high spirits, he wanted to become king, but he never dreamed that instead of being crowned king, he would have to be united with many people by his son.
The generals were forced to abdicate.
Yuan Shao was having fun in the palace, the musicians were playing the music, the dancers were twisting their graceful bodies, and he was hugging him from left to right. Although there was wine in front of him and beautiful women in his arms, he was still depressed in his heart.
I have been thinking about the losses suffered in the Battle of Julu.
He smiled against his will. When he remembered that he had suffered heavy losses despite his superiority, he became a little afraid of the high-flying Yan army. He took a sip of boring wine and kissed the beauty in his arms. He was looking cool and unrestrained.
In the happy room, Yuan Xi, Ma Yan, Zhang Wei and dozens of personal guards broke in. He suddenly became furious: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
A trace of murderous intent appeared on Yuan Xi's face. When he thought that the person sitting in front of him was the person who made his mother heartbroken and died of depression, his heart was filled with anger. However, he suppressed it strongly.
Because of his own anger, he has not been cared about by Yuan Shao for many years.
He had already chosen to endure all this. He vowed to show his father how to do it. He vowed to let his father see his achievements. Just today, Wen Chou gave him a good opportunity to understand
He doesn't need to show anything to Yuan Shao, he just needs to be himself.
"Everyone who has nothing to do with me, get out of here!" Yuan Xi's face showed an unprecedented ferocity. Although he had deep hatred for this father who had been indifferent to him since he was three years old, he also felt the same.
He also understood that he was now the lord of Jizhou and there was no need to kill his father to seize power.
When the musicians, dancers, servants, and beauties saw this, they all ran out.
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Evil son! What are you going to do? Ma Yan! Why don't you kick him out quickly?"
Ma Yan was indifferent. As Yuan Shao's personal guard, he had followed Yuan Shao for so many years, but he never got any decent benefits from Yuan Shao. Even if he got any benefits, he would have given them to Shen Pei, Guo Tu. If it hadn't been for the Yan army, the Jin army would have joined forces with Bao.
After surrounding Yecheng, he thought that Wen Chou would not make this difficult decision, let alone join the plan proposed by Wen Chou. He snorted coldly and said: "I'm sorry, you are no longer my lord.
The lord is standing right in front of me."
Although Yuan Shao was slightly drunk, he could still hear his words. He opened his eyes wide, looked at Ma Yan, then looked at his son Yuan Xi, and asked: "You...what did you just say?
"
Before Ma Yan could answer, Yuan Xi said first: "It's too late to say anything now. Your lord has been deposed by the generals. They all think you are too incompetent and now they regard me as their master. Father,
This is the last time I call you. Your time has passed. Now it’s my turn, Yuan Xi. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I will let you see with your own eyes that you have always considered me the most worthless person.
How did your son defeat the Yan and Jin armies who are timid in your heart?"
Yuan Shao's mind went blank, and he sat slumped on the ground. His eyes were confused, and his face was haggard due to being indulged in wine and sex for many days. The prince of the dynasty wanted to seize the power of the Han Dynasty with the help of He Jin and attack Dong Zhuo.
The leader of the allied forces has long since disappeared, and all he got in exchange was a sense of loss. He looked at Yuan Xi and said to himself: "I have been abolished..."
Yuan Xi said: "Take the old master away and lock him in his palace. Send him some beauties, some jars of wine, some musicians, and some dancers, and let him indulge in it every day. Without my order, who can
He is not allowed to come out either."
Ma Yan said: "No!"
On the other hand, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals were quickly executing Yuan Xi's orders. They surrounded Shen Pei and Guo Tu's mansion, and then rushed in with their soldiers and killed them.
Anyone who appears in the two houses will die. The whole city also began to search for Shen Pei. Guo Tu Yudang and Chun Yudao also rescued Ju Shuo who was imprisoned in the prison.
An hour later, all the generals gathered at the Marquis Zhao Mansion. Seeing Yuan Xi sitting in the Marquis's seat, they all bowed in unison: "See you, my lord!"
Yuan Xi sat on the chair that represented power. He felt extraordinary and in good spirits. He said to the generals: "No courtesy!"
At this time, Jushu was brought into the hall by Chun Yudao. Chun Yudao directly paid homage and said: "My lord, the Prime Minister of the country has brought you here."
Ju Shou was distressed in the cell. He was asking hard whether Yuan Shao had read his letter. When he was at a loss what to do, he saw Director Chun Yu arriving and said that the lord was going to let him out, so he happily followed Director Chun Yu to Zhao State.
Hou Mansion. However, when he saw that it was not Yuan Shao but Yuan Xi who was sitting on the throne of the Marquis, he became suspicious and asked hurriedly: "Where is the lord?"
Yuan Xi hurriedly walked down, went straight to Jushou's side, took Jushou's hand, and said very affectionately: "The Prime Minister has suffered, and I am the lord they call me."
Ju Shou was surprised when he saw more than a dozen respectable generals standing on both sides of the hall. Yuan Shao could only order generals, so he hurriedly asked: "Second Young Master, my lord... where is your lord?"
Yuan Xidao: "The Prime Minister is dedicated to serving the public good, but in the end he is persecuted by my father. What use does such a lord have for him?"
"Ah..." Jushou suddenly started to tremble, and tears welled up in his eyes. He asked hurriedly, "You...you killed the lord?"
Yuan Xi shook his head, hurriedly supported Jushou, and said loudly: "I, Yuan Xi, am not that ruthless. After all, he is also my father. Please rest assured, Mr. Prime Minister, I only imprisoned him temporarily. He likes beautiful women."
, good wine, singing and dancing, I will let him enjoy it to his heart's content and live his life there."
Jushu's mind calmed down a little. When he saw the generals gathered together, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu and other counselors were not here, he asked: "Are Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Pang Ji and others all here?"
already……"
"There are only two people, Shen Pei and Guo Tu. The rest are irrelevant. It's just that Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Pang Ji and others were frightened. Everyone was in danger and stayed behind closed doors for fear of being judged. Guo Tu
implicated, so it didn’t come
. Now that Guo Tu is dead, and I am the governor of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and also the marquis of Zhao, I have the right to re-appoint you as the prime minister. I hope you will not refuse."
Yuan Xi got straight to the point.
Jushou sighed heavily. He didn't need to ask, he could know who was so capable and able to bring together all the generals, and only Wen Chou was able to elevate Yuan Xi to the throne. But he couldn't guess why Wen Chou did this.
.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, we are facing a formidable enemy. The Yan and Jin armies have stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside, and they are digging deep ditches and building barriers. Do you have any strategies to retreat from the enemy?
"Yuan Xi asked very sincerely.
Jushu had been taken care of by Yuan Xi since he was imprisoned, and Yuan Xi was indeed good and had a good reputation among the army and the people. When he saw that the matter was basically settled, he sighed and said calmly: "That's all, that's all.
No matter what, I am working for the Yuan family. I will repay the kindness my old lord has shown me to my son! Your Majesty, please bow to me!"
