Yuan Tan looked at the chief trial officer and sighed, "Don't worry, Zhengnan, what happened at the beginning was just me venting my anger. Now that the Yuan family is in turmoil, how could I be so unwise?"
Shen Pei looked at Yuan Tan with a surprised expression. He saw the will to die on Yuan Tan's face.
"My Lord, this is what you are doing!" Shen Pei said in shock.
"The foundation founded by my father was only destined to be defeated by Liu Xuande, but it fell into the hands of the Xiongnu. How can I, Yuan Tan, be a man?" Yuan Tan said with a smile, "Gongsun Bogui can still stand in Youzhou and garrison the rivers and mountains. I
How could Yuan Tan let the Xiongnu ravage our great rivers and mountains of China?"
Shen Pei looked at Yuan Tan and was silent for a long time. Yuan Tan's eyes already revealed his will to die. He was really prepared to coexist and die with the land, city and people behind him.
"Zhengnan, do you think it's strange?" Yuan Tan said with a smile after driving all the maids out.
Shen Pei did not say anything. Yuan Tan asked and answered to himself, "Zhengnan, if the foundation established by my father was lost to Liu Xuande in my hands, I would not be like this. I would conquer the world. My father was prepared to fail."
, I was prepared when I took it over.”
The judge looked at Yuan Tan in surprise. If he hadn't known that this was indeed Yuan Tan, he would have thought that someone had dropped his bag.
"But how should I put it? In addition to being a monarch, I am also a son of an aristocratic family. Speaking of which, my father does not like me, because in his eyes, I am not like him but like my uncle. I think if my father had any last words, he would definitely not like me.
I will succeed to the throne." Yuan Tan described this calmly.
"My uncle has a saying that I like very much. We are pastoralists and we uphold the destiny. Our front is full of thorns. We can be defeated and we can die, but there will always be descendants who will inherit our legacy." Yuan Tan said with a smile.
"If we lose to Liu Bei, Youzhou still belongs to China, but if we lose to the Northern Xiongnu, the foundation left by our ancestors will belong to foreigners. The land under our feet was obtained by the Chinese ancestors after hard work. How can we hand it over to foreigners?"
?" Yuan Tan narrated calmly, "At least it is impossible for the Northern Huns to cross Jicheng before I die. I am the last city wall of Jicheng."
"A son of aristocratic family?" Shen Pei muttered silently, thinking of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains that had gradually rotted with the soil residue.
"Yes, no matter whether we fight again, we should remember our identity. The Northern Huns are different from Xianbei. I will not allow them to step through here while I am alive, unless I fall." Yuan Tan has already determined the identity of his opponent.
Then he calmed down. Unlike Yuan Shao, he was more like Yuan Shu, who was ambitious but not talented. They both wanted to restore the glory of their ancestors.
"Lord..." Shen Pei sensed another kind of demeanor from Yuan Tan that was different from Yuan Shao, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, never expecting that Yuan Tan actually had such a side.
"Are you sure you don't want to retreat?" Shen Pei asked with a sigh. He already had an answer in his mind, but he still decided to listen to Yuan Tan himself.
"It's impossible to retreat. I was deprived of hundreds of miles by the Northern Huns because I didn't know about it. But now that I know everything, it's impossible for me to retreat. Since I took over my father's power, I will use my
To implement the will." Yuan Tan was extremely calm.
[Maybe our identities have changed many times, but our will has not changed. We still stand above all people, and some of us will still choose to inherit our original beliefs.] Yuan Tan silently recalled Yuan Shu's fate a few months ago
message given to him.
[Father, if you have a soul in heaven, please allow me to be willful. The Yuan family has its own second brother, and the third brother will inherit it. The family should always have its own pride, even if it is blood spilled in the wilderness, it loses the glory recognized by all people.
What is the difference between us and the common people in Guizhou?]
This is probably the biggest difference between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is a concubine, but when Yuan Tan was born, Yuan Shao was already famous. As the eldest son, Yuan Tan learned the most orthodox ways of the family.
Maybe he was addicted to the dream that he didn't want to wake up from, or maybe he really wanted to restore the ancient glory. Yuan Tan's mentality was similar to Yuan Shu's, but he didn't have Yuan Shu's madness.
Shen Pei looked at Yuan Tan, following such a monarch, even if he failed and died in battle, it would not be worth it. This kind of magnanimity, this kind of belief, stupid, but also so dazzling.
[O Yuan family, a branch of the eight surnamed Gui in ancient times, we inherit not only the bloodline, but also the courage to pioneer the wilderness as a tribal leader. How can our descendants lose this honor!] Yuan
Tan looked at the relief and understanding in the judge's eyes and thought silently.
[Even if my Yuan family falls, I will use my blood to ignite the blood that exists in the blood of the family. What my Yuan family inherits is not a book of wisdom. What we inherit is the ancient surname Gui who led the people to the wilderness and opened up the Central Plains.
, establish Zhu Xia’s faith!]
Yuan Tan's eyes were filled with incomparable perseverance. He finally chose this path. As for his life, he had already put it aside. A family always needs someone to stand up. How could a real family member ever put his own life at heart? The most important inheritance of a family is
ah.
"Lord, Pei is willing to assist you in completing this final battle." Shen Pei slowly sat upright against the wall and bowed respectfully to Yuan Tan.
"Actually, Zhengnan, you don't need it. As long as you are willing, any prince in the world will accept you." Yuan Tan shook his head and said.
"Everyone will die eventually. I can't repay the lord's heroic deeds, but my lord's faith makes me extremely grateful. Please allow me to follow you." The matchmaking process was extremely solemn at this moment. Yuan Tan did have many shortcomings, but this
Neither can cover up Yuan Tan's belief.
"It's a pity. If I could have woken up earlier, maybe many things would have been different." Yuan Tan actually showed some womanly attitude, but then changed his appearance and became determined again, "But even so, I won't
Will change my will!"
Shen Pei silently found that Yuan Tan was not as intelligent as Yuan Shao after all. Although he had great ambitions and firm beliefs, he did lack some wisdom, but this was no longer important. At this level, will was more important than wisdom.
"It's a pity that the Yuan family is not strong enough. Otherwise, I really hope that I can leave a complete Youzhou to future generations." Yuan Tan then shook his head, and actually had the thought to smile, "This is really unpopular.
elephant."
"No, we may not be able to leave a complete Youzhou to the Central Plains." When Shen Pei heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"?" Yuan Tan looked at the judge and was surprised.
"If you want to leave a complete Youzhou, it depends on how much you are willing to pay, my lord." Shen Pei suddenly smiled and said to Yuan Tan. Since Yuan Tan has such a belief, and he does not want to defect to others, he will
