Chapter seven hundred and seventy third bloody birthday
On the day of Shen Pei's birthday, the entire mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.
As the head of the Yecheng family appointed by Yuan Shao, on the birthday of the bride, naturally all the people who came to congratulate her were important figures in the city.
Although Jushou had no friendship with Shenpei on weekdays, he couldn't help but come to such an occasion, so he came anyway.
Yuan Tan also received an invitation for trial matching.
Shen Pei belongs to Yuan Shang's family. If in normal times, Shen Pei invited Yuan Tan to attend his birthday, Yuan Tan would definitely feel very uncomfortable. He had to go but was unwilling to go.
But this time, Shen Pei's move played into Yuan Tan's hands, because he had already made up his mind to rebel.
And just one day before receiving the invitation for trial matching, Yuan Tan received a letter from Sima Yi.
He and Zhao Yun led a powerful Jinling White Horse Army to the vicinity of Yecheng to serve as Yuan Tan's foreign aid.
The time for Yuan Tan's attack was set on the night of Shen Pei's birthday.
Shen Pei's nephew Shen Rong stood in front of the mansion's door, gesturing to the guests and inviting them in.
"Master!"
Seeing Yuan Tan from a distance, Shen Rong seemed a little surprised: "It's my uncle's birthday, and it's a great honor for the Shen Mansion to have the eldest son come here."
Yuan Tan smiled slightly and said: "The judge is the important town of my Yuan family. How can Yuan not come to his birthday?"
After that, he turned around and asked Wang Zhao to hand over his gift list.
Shen Rong didn't look at it carefully, but just put the gift list in the hands of the attendant behind him, then raised his hand to signal: "Young Master, please!"
Yuan Tan entered the Shen Mansion at Shen Rong's signal and entered the hall, only to see that it was already full of distinguished guests.
Yuan Tan looked around at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Yuan Shang.
The two people's eyes met, and sparks almost burst out.
"Young Master! Why are you here so late?" The judge stood up with a smile and greeted Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan returned the greeting and said: "Yuan's injury has not healed yet. He needs to take medicine at the right time, so he has been delayed for a while. Please forgive Mr. Zhengnan."
"What did the eldest master say? Please sit down!"
Yuan Tan immediately entered the table.
When I was young, the officials of the palace served all kinds of delicacies and fine wine. The hall was full of guests, cups and glasses were interlaced, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Afterwards, the judge ordered his son and nephew to propose a toast on his behalf to every distinguished guest who came to congratulate them.
Yuan Tan sat in his seat, slightly closing his eyes, drinking with everyone with a smile on his face, but his heart was far from as relaxed as his expression showed.
After all, he has something on his mind.
At this moment, Yuan Shang stood up, held a wine cup and said to Yuan Tan from afar: "Brother!"
Yuan Tan was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Yuan Shang's shout and was stunned.
But he saw Yuan Shang saying to him: "Brother, I had some misunderstandings with you before the battle, which made my father angry and the Yuan family humiliated. When I think about it carefully after returning to Yecheng, I am really ashamed and shameless. Today I am taking advantage of the opportunity."
On the occasion of Zhengnan Gong’s birthday, I apologize to my eldest brother! All the lords present testified that I sincerely repent, and I also ask my elder brother to forgive me this time for the sake of brotherhood!”
After hearing Yuan Shang's words, everyone in the venue couldn't help but nod their heads, secretly praising Yuan Shang as indeed Yuan Shao's favorite son, and he was indeed someone who understood the overall situation.
The judge stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Only Jushou scanned Shen Ping lightly and shook his head without any trace, as if he was a little disdainful.
Now let’s see how Yuan Tan behaves.
Yuan Tan remained calm, just raised the wine cup, gestured at him from afar, and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he stopped making any sound.
Yuan Tan's performance confused everyone present.
Is this the end?
Could this be too simple and too casual?
Just when everyone was confused, a guard rushed in from outside the foyer and shouted: "Mr. Zhengnan, something bad has happened. At the north gate of Yecheng, there are Jinling cavalry calling for formation outside the city!
"
After saying this, the hall suddenly became a mess.
In Ye City, most of the brave and capable generals accompanied Yuan Shao on his expeditions, and now most of the remaining generals are civil servants who manage state affairs. Even if there are individual military generals left to help with the task of guarding the city, they are all useless.
.
Therefore, upon hearing that the Jinling Army was attacking the city, the current chaotic situation immediately resulted.
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!"
After all, Shen Pei is the leader of a state. He stood up and shouted to the officials: "Don't panic! The general is confronting the pottery merchants on the front line. The Jinling Army is restrained by the general. Those who come to Yecheng
They must all be partial teachers, there is nothing to worry about... All the gentlemen, please be quiet!"
Everyone was a little quiet now, but at this moment, they saw another guard coming in outside the door.
"Zhengnan Gong, something bad has happened! In the west city of Yecheng, the Bingzhou Army's camp in the city is on fire! Three thousand Bingzhou Army, two thousand people are heading to the south of the city, and a thousand people are rushing here. I don't know what they want.
?”
Shen Pei's face suddenly turned yellow.
Most of the high-ranking Bingzhou Army was outside the city, and 3,000 troops were stationed inside the city to assist in the garrison.
Although there are only three thousand people, the soldiers of Bingzhou are extremely powerful. If these three thousand people rebel in the city, the consequences will be disastrous.
He stood up suddenly and shouted: "Where are the senior officials? Where are the senior officials!"
But the senior officials did not appear here at all.
At this moment, outside the mansion, there was a faint cry of killing. Immediately afterwards, there was a faint fire light outside Shenpei's mansion, but the Qian Bingzhou Army had already arrived at Shenpei's mansion.
Outside.
All of a sudden, no matter how good the judge is, he can't control the situation on the court.
The guests all over the place were in chaos. They all got up, looked for their way around, and fled in all directions.
Shen Pei was sweating profusely. Suddenly, he saw the gate of the courtyard being rushed open, and dozens of heavily armed Bingzhou troops rushed into the mansion, instantly taking control of the situation.
When the officials and noble leaders of Yecheng saw this situation, they did not dare to run into chaos.
The judge stretched out his finger and pointed at the soldiers tremblingly: "You bastards, who gave you the courage to run wild here! Do you know what kind of place this is?"
"Of course they know!"
After giving the order, he saw Yuan Tan kicking over the table in front of him and standing up with a sudden stride.
When everyone saw it, they were immediately confused.
But he saw Yuan Tan looking around and said: "Today's matter is about the Han Dynasty tying down the thieves, and it is also about the Yuan family cleaning up the family. Unexpectedly, I have disturbed you all! Yuan Tan is very apologetic, and please wait and see for the time being.
Come on, the Prime Minister and Yuan Mou will toast to everyone to calm down the shock."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!
What is "Prime Minister and Yuan?"
The judge looked at Yuan Tan in disbelief, pointed at him tremblingly and said: "Yuan Tan! As a son of the Yuan family, you actually have an affair with a pottery merchant. You... you are so bold!"
During the normal banquet, Jushou, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said in disbelief: "Yuan Tan... you, why are you doing this?"
"Why? Hahaha! You ask me why?"
Yuan Tan finally relieved the heavy burden in his heart and revealed his true nature. His facial features were distorted and he roared loudly: "As the eldest son, I have fought for the Yuan family in the north and south for many years, pacified Qingzhou, and made many contributions. What have I gained?
Among the disciples, I contributed the most to Yuan Shaoneng becoming the Lord of Hebei. I can’t make any contribution to the success of the Yuan family today. However, I worked so hard to share my father’s worries. What did I get in the end? Among the disciples, I contributed the most.
, I have the greatest merit, but I have received the most punishment, Yuan Shang! A flatterer and an incompetent person can put pressure on me just because his appearance is most similar to his father, and yet you people are all facing him and helping him deal with me.
! I wish I could kill me! My father said that I am not capable enough! Okay, Yuan admitted it, but when he beat Zhou Tai, it was clearly Yuan Shang who framed me. Why didn’t my father punish him? And I, because I obeyed my father.
I was framed by the generals and Yuan Shang, and I was captured twice in the Battle of Guandu. As a result, my father relegated me to Bingzhou and even refused to let me go back to Qingzhou! As a father, he didn’t feel ashamed, but I felt ashamed! He was
As a father, have you ever considered me or not? What kind of father, what kind of brothers, what kind of colleagues, they are all bullshit?! Although Prime Minister Tao captured me alive three times, he treated me with courtesy and regarded me as a brother.
You think about me, but compared to him, what do you think you are?"
At this point, Yuan Tan finally gave up and let out all the depression and dissatisfaction he was holding in his heart.
The words he shouted out made everyone speechless, especially Shen Ping, who just stared at Yuan Tan blankly, unable to believe that he actually had so much anger and hatred accumulated in his heart.
Jushou looked at Yuan Tan with pity and said: "Some things are not what you think. The general actually cares about your son in his heart... He wants you to go back to Yecheng this time because he wants to give you a chance.
You inherit his inheritance."
"It's too late! Yuan doesn't need it anymore. Yuan needs to get what he lost. He doesn't need anyone to give it to him!"
After saying that, Yuan Tan shook his head angrily and looked at the trembling Yuan Shang with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Today is Shenpei's birthday and there is a huge banquet. Yuan is going to kill this beast Yuan Shang with his own hands in front of you! I'm going to cut him into pieces and feed them to the dogs! You all give me a good look.
