After Yuan Tan heard what Yuan Shang said, he became angry at that time.
When he arrived, Yuan Tan deliberately pretended not to see Yuan Shang and pretended that this person did not exist in order not to be angry or upset.
The problem is that he doesn't mess with Yuan Shang, but Yuan Shang has no intention of letting him go!
Especially when he heard that Yuan Tan planned to stay in Yecheng, Yuan Shang had to keep silent.
Where is Yecheng? It is the center of the Yuan family and the foundation of my future, Third Young Master. Do you want to stay here? Who do you think you are?
In Yuan Shang's heart, he had already determined that Yecheng was his cyst.
No one can take it away, not Yuan Tan, not even the pottery merchants.
Seeing Yuan Shang's ulterior motives, Yuan Tan also said coldly: "What the third brother said is good. In this critical time, our brothers have been on the front line to share the worries of our father. We were a step too late for my brother, and never for my father."
What have you done? The third brother stayed with his father, so he must have made a lot of contributions to his father, right?"
The essential meaning of this statement is to point out that Yuan Shang has been in Yecheng, but he has not accomplished anything, he has done nothing, he can't do anything, but he still blames others, he just stands and talks without hurting his back.
As Yuan Shao's most beloved son, Yuan Shang had the support of his mother, Liu, and had been domineering since he was a child. As the third son, he always regarded himself as Yuan Shao's heir.
Of course he couldn't bear it when Yuan Tan used words to push him.
At that time, Yuan Shang said sarcastically to Yuan Tan: "Although my younger brother has never made meritorious deeds for his father, he has never been defeated by potters one after another."
Yuan Tan's face suddenly turned red!
He was defeated at the hands of pottery merchants many times, and he felt ashamed for the rest of his life!
Yuan Shang actually uncovered this scar in public... Yuan Tan wished he could strangle him with Bai Ling!
Yuan Tan was just about to get angry when he suddenly heard a voice saying: "Third brother, you have gone too far!"
Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this, and turned around to look, only to see Yuan Xi's handsome face turned red with anger, glaring at Yuan Shang angrily.
Not to mention Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan is also a bit stupid.
Yuan Xi has always been a loyal supporter of Yuan Shang, so why did he suddenly stand up to speak for Yuan Tan? Aren't they usually working together to defeat Yuan Tan?
Is it possible that this boy's conscience has discovered it? It shouldn't be, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can enlighten himself.
Yuan Shang also opened his mouth in surprise, and turned to look at Yuan Xi in surprise.
"Second brother, what are you talking nonsense about? What are you shouting about..." Yuan Shang winked at Yuan Xi to tell him to stop talking nonsense.
However, Yuan Xi ignored him and shouted at him: "You exposed my shortcomings and mocked me for losing to the pottery merchant! Why did I call you a few words?"
Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered.
Yuan Xi also once lost to a pottery merchant, apparently because of the daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan... It is said that this incident was once made a joke by the nobles in Hebei.
Yuan Shang was trembling with anger.
Why is my second brother, my ally, so stunned! Is there really someone who takes the initiative to scold someone in this world?
Even the daughter of the Zhen family in Zhongshan looked down upon him because of his stupidity.
"Second brother, I didn't tell you!" Yuan Shang said through gritted teeth.
Yuan Xi said indifferently: "It's not me? Then who are you talking about?"
"What I'm saying is..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
Yuan Shao couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table hard.
He was so angry with the three bastards that his liver hurt.
"Look at you, what do you look like? You are brothers! Blood brothers! Of the two sons born to old Tao Qian, one is now the prime minister, with all the power in the world, and the other is also a hussar general.
Help his brother to sit in Nanchang and supervise the government! Look at the tacit understanding between the two brothers? Look at you again!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao waved his hands helplessly, with a look of sadness on his face.
Yuan Shang was the most obedient and hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "Father, the child knows that he is wrong... Brother, the younger brother knows that he is wrong."
Yuan Tan also knelt down and said, "Father, the child has realized his mistake."
The two brothers looked at each other, saying they knew they were wrong, but the sharp arrows in their eyes wanted to shoot each other into a sieve.
Yuan Shao waved his hand, summoned his three sons in front of him, and said: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, and my father is getting older, the great cause of fighting against the pottery merchants in the future may fall on you. You brothers are not as good as they are."
If he doesn't work together, won't the foundation of Hebei be put into the hands of others sooner or later?"
"Yes, father!"
Yuan Shao pointed at Yuan Tan and then at Yuan Shang: "You two brothers had some misunderstandings a few years ago. Today, in front of your father, we shook hands with each other and vowed to work together in the future and never create any rift!"
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang looked at each other, and then they stretched out their palms and held each other tightly with a "pop" sound.
The two of them vowed to never bear grudge against each other.
Yuan Shao felt relieved and immediately issued military orders.
The three brothers of the Yuan family all accompanied the army, leaving senior officials to lead part of the Bingzhou army to help in the review and selection of troops in Yecheng.
When Yuan Shang walked out of the main hall, he gritted his teeth angrily.
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shang's fierce expression and said, "Third brother, are you still angry with me? I didn't mean to do this for you."
Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Who are you angry with? I'm angry with that common man Yuan Xiansi! He's simply too much! He and I are inseparable!"
"Brother? He, why did he offend you again?"
Yuan Shang stretched out his swollen hands, tears welling up in his eyes.
"That bastard shook my hand just now and almost strangled me to death..."
…
In August of the third year of Jiankang, Yuan Shao summoned his three sons and assembled a heavy army to fight against the pottery merchants. He also sent people north to unite the Xianbei people and the Liaodong Gongsun clan.
Yuan Shao's actions were not hidden from the spies of the school affairs office, and they passed Yuan Shao's actions to the pottery merchant.
"Yuan Shao really has many talented people under his command. We have gathered forces such as the Xiongnu and Tadun, and Yuan Shao set out to unite Xianbei and Liaodong. He has a lot of weird ideas..."
Cao Bao stood up and said: "Prime Minister, given the current situation, we should immediately send an eloquent envoy with heavy gifts to meet the Xianbei leader and the Gongsun family of Liaodong first, and form an alliance with them before Yuan Shao can, which can solve this disaster."
Tao Shang nodded while thinking: "General Cao's words are reasonable. Do you have any other opinions?"
Zhuge Liang also agreed: "General Cao's words are very good."
Cao Bao's advice may have caused some doubts among everyone, but Zhuge Liang spoke and everyone's hearts fell into their stomachs.
In fact, the pottery merchant also had this intention of interfering with Yuan Shao. Seeing the support of everyone, he immediately made up his mind.
Just when the pottery merchant was arranging the candidates, Zhang Yan sent someone to the Heishan Army to send a letter to the pottery merchant. It was a letter sent by Guo Jia to the pottery merchant.
The advice in Guo Jia's letter is also about Liaodong and Xianbei.
However, unlike Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia asked the pottery merchants not to interfere with Yuan Shao, and allowed Yuan Shao to move the Gongsun family and Xianbei from Liaodong to Hebei, and then eliminate this disaster.
