Chapter six hundred and eighty-four, the second son of deep love and righteousness
After hearing what Jushu said, Yuan Shao sighed. Although he was unwilling to do this, there was nothing he could do at the moment.
After all, once you do this and openly raise an army with Wu Huan, to a certain extent, it is equivalent to admitting to the world that you have indeed colluded with Wu Huan, and that he, Yuan Shao, was indeed involved in the murder of the late emperor.
.
But Yuan Shao also understood that even if he deceived himself and refused to admit it, he would never be able to escape this matter.
The potter's hand was really ruthless. For more than a year, he had been keeping a close eye on his murder of the emperor. As long as he caught the slightest hint of something, he would immediately make a fuss about it until
Today, he finally got his wish and put himself in the most passive situation politically.
The aura of the Four Worlds and Three Dukes has almost no meaning in this case.
When Yuan Shao thought of this, he hated the pottery merchant, but at the same time he also felt a heartfelt admiration for the pottery merchant's resilience.
Yuan Shao now really regrets that he broke up with the pottery merchant too early. If he could endure it for a few more years, perhaps today's situation would not be so passive.
In the Battle of Guandu, how could I have ended up in the situation I am in today if Tao hadn't been there to mess with it?
Yuan Shao sighed and said: "Well, that's it, that's all it can do... Has there been any news about Tian Yuanhao recently?"
Jushou had been responsible for communicating with Tian Feng. After hearing Yuan Shao's question, he immediately shook his head and said, "Not yet."
Yuan Shao was silent for a long time and said: "Note, Yuan believes in your words and believes that Tian Feng will not betray me, but if something happens, and the day comes, I hope you will not help him deceive Yuan, whichever is easier."
Zhong, I think you should understand, right?"
Jushou heard this and said hurriedly: "General, don't worry. What kind of person is Jushou? How can he do anything against his conscience? If Tian Feng really rebels, I will be the first to kill him on behalf of the general."
Yuan Shao was also sighing.
While the two were talking, they saw a guard hurriedly ran into the main hall, raised his hands to Yuan Shao and said: "General, something big has happened!"
Yuan Shao glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "Why are you so nervous? Could the sky still fall?"
The guard swallowed hard, then walked up to Yuan Shao, lay beside his ear, and wanted to quietly tell Yuan Shao the so-called bad news.
Yuan Shao pulled him away with his hand and said angrily: "Is there anything you can't say out loud? Yuan can still be scared to death by you! Say it! Say it openly!"
The guard immediately shouted loudly: "Master Yuan Xi sent troops to Youzhou and went south to attack the pottery merchants in Linzi City!"
"Plop!"
Yuan Shao's body tilted and he fell directly from the cushion to the ground. The high crown on his head was crooked.
"General!"
Jushu and the guard rushed forward and helped the panicked Yuan Shao up from the ground.
Yuan Shao straightened the high crown on his head, and then shouted to the guard: "What did you just say? Who did you say sent troops from Youzhou?"
The guard hurriedly said: "Second Young Master! It's Second Young Master!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth angrily and clenched his hands tightly into fists: "Who asked him to send troops privately? Now that winter is approaching, it is not the time for war at all, and he does not have Yuan's military order to mobilize troops, how can he dare to do it without permission?
"
The guard trembled when he heard this and said, "I don't know much about what the Second Young Master thinks."
Jushou looked at Yuan Shao doubtfully and said: "General, the second young master has always been in love with the daughter of the Zhen family. Now that Zhen Mi has been captured alive by Tao Shang, the second young master is sending troops this time... Could it be for the daughter of the Zhen family?"
It is said that a word can wake up a person in a dream, Yuan Shao suddenly realized it when he heard the words.
But what followed was overwhelming anger.
This little brat actually went to provoke the pottery merchant without permission during the period when he ordered a truce for the winter because of a woman. Doesn't this make it clear that he doesn't take his father seriously?
"This beast!" Yuan Shao yelled and slammed the table angrily.
"General, calm down." Jushu hurriedly remonstrated: "The most urgent task is to find a way to stop the second young master immediately. The general should quickly send someone with a letter to the second young master's camp and order him to return to Youzhou immediately."
Yuan Shao took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "But what if that traitor insists on doing it?"
Jushou frowned and said: "If this is the case, a general must be sent to rescue, lest the second young master goes too deep and is plotted by the Tao thieves... With the second young master's ability, he is definitely no match for the Tao merchants."
Although Yuan Shao agreed with Jusuke's statement in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Jusuke say that his son was not as good as the pottery merchant.
What am I worse than Mr. Tao Qian? Why is my child inferior to his child?
…
Linzi City, the main residence of pottery merchants.
The pottery merchant has been quite depressed recently, seeing that winter is coming, but the winter supplies he has recruited in Qingzhou can only meet the needs of 40% of the soldiers, and the rest of the items are still unavailable.
The pottery merchant has been very worried recently, but at this moment, news from the school affairs office came from the north, saying that Yuan Xi's Youzhou troops had begun to march towards Qingzhou, and were about to cross the northern border of Qingzhou and reach Linzi City.
The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard the news.
He looked doubtfully at Guo Jia, who brought him the news, and asked curiously: "You heard it right, right?"
Guo Jia shook his head: "Can I be wrong about such a big matter? Yuan Xi has indeed sent troops here."
The pottery merchant fiddled with his fingers and said puzzledly: "But as winter is approaching, everyone can see that this is definitely not a good opportunity to send troops to fight? Besides, the Chinese army that was fighting fiercely between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao gave up.
, which song is Yuan Xi singing? I can’t explain it..."
Completely unscientific!
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "We don't know why Yuan Shao's sons are acting strangely, but the school officials did find out some interesting news. I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter."
"What's up?"
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "It is said that Yuan Xi has repeatedly asked Yuan Shao to marry the daughter of the Zhen family for him, that is, the prisoner you captured Zhen Mi, to use as his wife... Yuan Xi's obsession with this girl is said to have
It is famous throughout Hebei."
The potter's eyes widened when he heard this.
"You mean, he came here for love?"
Guo Jia didn't quite understand: "Love, love, what do you love to play?"
The pottery merchant looked at Guo Jia with disdain and said: "Looking at your heartless appearance, it is impossible for you to understand such profound and warm words. It is useless to explain to you... Alas, I didn't expect that the second master Yuan is actually very affectionate.
Yi Zhong, he is really a good and romantic man...if you ask what love is in the world, you will know whether you will live or die together."
At this point, the pottery merchant turned to look at Guo Jia and said quietly: "Do you think such a kind and righteous man would give our army some winter supplies for the sake of the woman he loves?"
Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "Guo doesn't know whether Yuan Xi will support our army. Guo only knows that he will never meet such a shameless person like you again in this life."
