Chapter 430: Yuan Shang succeeds to the throne and watches the fire from the other side
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord has gone. Let's support the third prince to inherit the throne first. The judge wiped his tears and said.
Guo Tu secretly laughed that this trial was too urgent, and he forgot that he was not alone in Yuan Shao's command.
Among them, Guo Tu's comrade-in-arms Xin Ping didn't need Guo Tu's orders, and stood up and objected at the moment: "This is bad! First of all, the key thing is to hold a funeral for the lord first, and invite the eldest prince back. Mr. Judge, you are so disobedient to the law, do you have any intentions? β
The judge's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Xin Ping to openly oppose him.
"It's not that I don't obey the etiquette law, just now everyone heard that the lord handed over the throne to the third prince. Now that the enemy is present, it is necessary to stabilize the situation as soon as possible! The judge gave his reasons.
Xin Ping was just about to refute, Guo Tu glanced at him, Xin Ping immediately shut up, because he also found that something was wrong, and a large number of soldiers suddenly gathered outside the room.
That's right, Yuan Shang came over with a large number of soldiers and horses, and surrounded this room with murderous spirit.
Yuan Shang rushed in, threw himself on Yuan Shao's corpse and tried to squeeze out a few tears and pretended to cry bitterly: "Father, why did you go here?!" What do you want the child to do? β
Seeing Yuan Shang so sad, Yan Liang wiped his tears and said, "Third son, please mourn!" β
Wen Chou also felt Yuan Shang's feelings for Yuan Shao, and said, "Third son, don't be like this!" The Lord in Heaven doesn't want to see you like this. β
Under the persuasion of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Yuan Shang wiped away his tears, naturally understood in his heart, looked around for a week, and said: "My father is in the prime of life, and now he has died early, it is all caused by Liu Yu's traitor, and I, Yuan Shang, swear that I will definitely kill his head!" I hope you will help me. β
This is a disguised desire to see if there is any support for him to be Yuan Shao's heir.
"The third prince is wise, the lord was killed by Liu Yu, and he must take revenge. And just now, the lord also passed the throne to the third prince. Please ask the third prince to inherit the position of the general and lead us to take revenge on Liu Yu! As a die-hard supporter of Yuan Shang, he was the first to make a statement.
Other people who supported Yuan Shang also said in unison: "I will ask the third prince to inherit the position of general!" β
Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not express their position, it could be seen from their eyes that they recognized Yuan Shang.
The people on Guo Tu's side watched coldly.
Yuan Shang looked at Guo Tu and the others without expressing their position, his face became gloomy, and said, "Mr. Gongze, what do you think?" β
"Third Prince, do you think you can defeat Liu Yu?" Guo Tu asked rhetorically.
"The revenge of killing my father is not shared, I don't kill Liu Yu and swear not to be a person!" Yuan Shang did not answer Guo Tu's question directly, and said beautiful words.
"Then after the third prince gets rid of Liu Yu, I will wait to answer the third son's question!" After Guo Tu finished speaking, he arched his hand at Yuan Shangyi and walked out with Xin Ping Xin Bi.
Before they could step out of the door, the soldier drew his steel knife and stopped them.
"What does this mean by the third son?" Guo Tu asked with squinted eyes.
Yuan Shang said with a smile: "Mr. Gongze, now that the situation is delicate, you better not go around, this son thinks that you can stay at home." Come on, send a few gentlemen home! Good body protection. β
Yuan Shang is planning to put Guo Tu under house arrest.
Guo Tu smiled, Yuan Shang didn't have the guts to kill himself, if he continued to stay, his life would definitely be in danger, and he should leave this place.
"Thank you for the kindness of the third prince." Guo Tu left the room with his head held high. Well, I was escorted away.
After Guo Tu and the three left, his subordinates were frightened by Yuan Shang and chose to submit one after another.
"I'll wait to see my lord!" The judge took the lead in making a big salute to Yuan Shang, and most of Yuan Shao's subordinates originally knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty to Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang finally became a general as he wished, and he was very excited in his heart, looking at his subordinates kneeling at his feet, this feeling of being self-respecting and holding the power of life and death was really wonderful.
Yuan Shang's first order after inheriting Yuan Shao's position was to order a huge funeral for Yuan Shao.
In fact, according to common sense, it is necessary to hold a funeral for Yuan Shao first, and Yuan Shang will succeed to the throne after the funeral, which will be more reasonable. But in that case, Yuan Tan will have to come back to mourn, so it will not be so easy for Yuan Shang to inherit the position. Although Yuan Shang is confident that he can defeat Yuan Tan, he will lose a lot at that time, and he may be taken advantage of by Liu Yu, so he must first cook the raw rice into mature rice, so that Yuan Tan can only eat Coptis dumbly.
The judge and others hurriedly went down to prepare, and Yan Liangwen Chou said that he wanted to guard Yuan Shao's soul to repay the kindness of his acquaintance.
After arranging everything, the judge came to Yuan Shang and said, "Lord, why didn't you take the opportunity to clean up Guo Tu and these people just now?" Sooner or later, it will be a scourge to keep them. β
"Military advisor, this official has just inherited the throne and killed the minister, which is very detrimental to stabilizing people's hearts. When the overall situation has been decided, this official will naturally take Guo Tu to avenge you! Yuan Shang knew that the trial match had a grudge against Guo Tu, and he couldn't wait to kill him as soon as possible, and Yuan Shang was also willing to realize this wish for the trial, but it was a bit inappropriate to kill Guo Tu now.
Yuan Shangdu said so, what else can he say about the trial, anyway, Guo Tu has fallen into his hands.
"Lord, what should Yuan Tan do over there?" The judge mentions another important person.
"What can that idiot do? Now his right-hand men are in my hands, and all the generals in the army are subject to me. It's good that he's trying to save his life now. Yuan Shang said confidently.
The trial really wanted to remind Yuan Shang Mo to be too confident, but it was not good to hit Yuan Shang now, who knows if Yuan Shang would be angry. He didn't bother Yuan Shang anymore and went down to do his own thing.
Yuan Tan, who was said to be an idiot by Yuan Shang, had already received the news from Guo Tu about the deterioration of Yuan Shao's condition, and secretly made some preparations.
He is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also has his own intelligence officers in Yecheng.
When the news came that Yuan Shao had died of illness, Yuan Xi succeeded to the throne and placed Guo Tu and others under house arrest, Yuan Tan did not feel sad because of Yuan Shao's death, but was furious and scolded: "Xianfu is so rebellious!" His father was not buried, and he was in a hurry to seize power. It just didn't take me seriously. β
Yuan Tan's ability to govern the country and the army is not good, but there is still a set of buying people's hearts, and his subordinates Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang are very loyal to him.
Lu Xiang immediately suggested: "The lord, Yuan Shang's succession to the throne will definitely be unfavorable to the lord." As the eldest son of the general, the lord should succeed the general! β
"That's right, Yuan Shang is something! The lord is stronger than him, I don't know how many times, how can I let this guy ride on his head! Lord, let's turn it over. Qingzhou absolutely supports the succession of the lord to the general! Lu Kuang encouraged beside him.
Yuan Tan remembered that Yuan Shang had always been at odds with him, and knew that if he compromised, there would be absolutely no good end, so he simply didn't do anything, and said: "Yuan Shang'er bullied me too much!" From today onwards, I will be a general, and I will be inseparable from Yuan Shang. Command the whole army, and send the troops to Yecheng! β
"Yes!" LΓΌ Xiang and LΓΌ Kuang received military orders.
As a result, Yuan Tan issued a crusade against Yuan Shang in the Qingzhou Governance Office, condemning Yuan Shang's unfilial actions, appointing himself as a general, and leading the Qingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Yecheng.
The news of Yuan Shao's death reached Liu Yu's ears.
Liu Yu originally knew that Yuan Shao would die of illness, but he didn't expect that when Liu Yu heard the news, he was a little sad.
Moreover, the matter of Yuan Tan mobilizing troops and horses to question Yuan Shang was also reported.
Liu Yu is happy, this is what he has always wanted.
Chen Gong gave Liu Yu a plan to watch the fire from across the strait, that is, to wait for Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan to have a large-scale fire, gradually weaken their strength, and finally take the entire Hebei in one fell swoop.
Liu Yu accepted this suggestion, he knew that if he sent troops, then under the threat from the outside, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would definitely compromise, and then unite to deal with him. If so, it is not in Liu Yu's interests at all.
Tian Feng suggested that Liu Yu write a letter to Yuan Tan, expressing his support for Yuan Tan to succeed him as general, on the condition that Yuan Tan submit to Liu Yu. In this way, Yuan Tan can be temporarily paralyzed, so that Yuan Tan can attack Yecheng with confidence. As long as they start fighting, then there is no way to stop it.
Of course, Liu Yu would not refuse such a simple matter, so he wrote a book and sent someone to Yuan Tan.
Feng Ji looked at the tacit understanding between Liu Yu and the three of them, and finally understood why Yuan Shao was repeatedly defeated by Liu Yu, this unity alone is not comparable to Yuan Shao's side.
Feng Ji is now a little glad that he is from Liu Yu's side. At least you don't have to accept defeat and capture.
