The two tigers competed, the heroes watched the battle, this is the general trend of the world in the first year of the Han Dynasty'Xingping', Cao Cao and Lu Bu killed the corpses outside the city of Xiapi like a mountain, the blood flowed into a river, and the princes from all walks of life were not idle, some watched the fire from the other side, some gloated, and some waited for the 'snipe and clam to fight, and the fisherman profited'!

Of course, the fisherman is not so easy to be, first of all, you have to have a big boat that can withstand the wind and waves, and secondly, you have to have a sharp harpoon in your hand, so that you have the capital to wade into troubled waters, in other words, you have to have a huge territory and an elite army, and among the princes of all walks of life, there are only two people, Yuan Shao of Hebei, Sun Ce of Jiangdong!

Jizhou, Yecheng, the nest of the general Yuan Shao, since the Yuan family dominated Hebei, lasted several years, recruited countless people, and spent a lot of money and grain, and finally created a magnificent, magnificent giant city, in terms of luxury, compared to the first city in Huainan - Shouchun, not a cent!

Regarding the matter of building a city, there was a debate within the Hebei Group, and the strategists Tian Feng and Fu Zhu believed that instead of spending countless financial and material resources to build such a large and useless city, it was better to use it to recruit warriors and raise soldiers and horses, and the two calculated that a Yecheng city could be exchanged for 100,000 male soldiers, which was the capital to compete for the world!

It's a pity that the general Yuan Shao didn't follow the advice of the two, in the eyes of this Hebei hero, 'if you want to become an emperor's business, you must first have the emperor's house', without a magnificent giant city as a foundation, how can he reflect his Yuan's unparalleled hegemony? And in his heart, Yuan Shao also has the heart to compete with his younger brother, you cultivate Shouchun, I will build Yecheng to see who is higher and who is lower?

In the general's mansion, the lanterns are colorful, the guests are like clouds, today is the day when the city is completed, and it is also Yuan Shao's forty-second birthday.

Yuan family's 'four worlds and three dukes', is the world's first gate, Yuan Shao is now the official worship - the general, sitting on the land of Hebei, Qing, and Youzhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, known as the head of the 'Ten Princes', his birthday banquet is naturally extravagant, not only the celebrities and giants in Hebei come together to congratulate, even the princes from all walks of life have sent envoys, with heavy gifts to come, Hebei - Yecheng, for a time became the place where the world will meet!

"Jingzhou envoy, congratulations to General Yuan on his long and blessed life!"

"Join the history of the state assassination, congratulations to the general......"

"The Great Leader of Karasuma collapsed, congratulations to ......"

"The Huns are big and single~~"

In front of the lobby, the celebrant kept singing, and among the guests who came to congratulate, in addition to the envoys of the princes from all walks of life, even the Karasuma people on the grassland, the Huns also came, this glory is unparalleled in the world!

Looking at the lobby again, Yuan Shao wears the 'Panlong Purple Gold Crown', wears the 'Eight Treasures Red Gold Armor', and is covered with a red Baishou brocade robe, which is in a high position, and a group of civil and military attendants in Hebei, surrounded by hundreds of gold-armored warriors according to their swords, that majesty and bearing, as if they are the 'uncrowned emperor'!

The princes of the ten directions in the world, every time a messenger came in to congratulate him on his birthday, Yuan Shao bent a finger, and there was a smile on his face, but the few people he wanted to see the most were not able to appear for a long time!

Beside Yuan Shao, there stood a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and dignified, wearing a pure white battle robe, a tiger belt around his waist, a sword diagonally, and cowhide combat boots, showing even more heroic!

"Father, the messengers from all walks of life have almost arrived, do you want to announce the start of the birthday feast?" The young man's name is Yuan Shang, he is Yuan Shao's youngest son, and he is also the most favored one, as for the reason, it is very simple, he is the most handsome among the brothers, and he has a hero's table!

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, there are still a few messengers who haven't arrived, I don't believe they dare to refute the face of the father!" Yuan Shao is very confident, as the most powerful faction among the princes in the world, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command are his biggest capital, who dares not to come, the soldiers and horses will ask for it!

"Father is waiting for the messenger of Lujiang?" Father and son nature, Yuan Shang naturally knows what his father is thinking, 'the dispute between the two Yuan', has a long history, as early as Luoyang, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, they often fight openly and secretly, and then the two of them dominate one side, and no one obeys anyone, if it is not separated by a Cao Cao in the middle, there is no need for others to provoke, the two brothers can fight first, and they will not die!

But now it's different, Yuan Shao's power is thriving, and he has firmly ranked first in the 'Ten Princes', and has the potential to sweep the Central Plains and dominate the world.

When the spring breeze was proud, he found that his brother had fallen into the well, if it was someone else, he would definitely reach out and pull it up, but Yuan Shao was different, he would only throw a few big stones and step on it again, if he could make Yuan Shu bow his head in front of the princes of the world, what a proud thing it would be!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

While talking, the other two sons of the Yuan family, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, walked in, and the two first glared at Yuan Shang fiercely, and then knelt down and saluted: "Congratulations to my father, I am as blessed as the East China Sea, and my longevity is better than Nanshan!" ”

"Today is my father's birthday, why are the two brothers late?" Yuan Shang glared back fearlessly, as the most favored son, he was not afraid of his two elder brothers at all!

"There are a lot of guests outside, and I went to entertain my brother and father, not like the third brother!" Yuan Tan's answer was hidden in the needle, not only showing his hard work, but also secretly scolding Yuan Shang for having a rice bucket and doing nothing!

"I'm afraid that I have ulterior motives and want to buy people's hearts everywhere, right?"

"As the eldest son in the family, people's hearts are at ease with me, so why should I buy them?"

"You ......"

"I ......"

"Shut up, above the lobby, quarrels, what kind of system ......, you and other brothers, you must unite and love, and work together!" Looking at his sons, Yuan Shao is both happy and worried, happy that the three sons are all talented, literary and martial arts are also the best choice, and the worry is that they have completely inherited the glorious tradition of the Yuan family's infighting, and it has been further carried forward!

"No......"

The three brothers bowed their heads at the same time and looked at each other, three people, six eyes, all of them were full of high fighting spirit, how could there be a little bit of unity and love~~

The third son of the Yuan family, the eldest son Yuan Tan just killed, quite a martial strategy, the second son Yuan Xi has a feminine temperament and is resourceful, the third son Yuan Shang is smart and well-behaved, and he is the most favored.

Especially Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, one is the eldest son, the other is the beloved son, in order to compete for the storage position, almost to the point of facing each other, the second son Yuan Yi is not a good thing, mixed with it to fan the flames, lest the world will not be chaotic!

It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, in the face of this chaotic situation, Yuan Shao, as a father, is also helpless, he said it in vain, persuaded in vain, and was reluctant to fight, after all, they are all his own flesh and blood, and besides, between him and the Yuan Shu brothers is fighting to the death, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what qualifications does he have to discipline his sons?

In desperation, Yuan Shao had no choice but to separate his three sons and let them live on their own side, the eldest son Yuan Tan was the Qingzhou Thorn History, the second son Yuan Yi was the Youzhou Thorn History, and the third son Yuan Shang stayed in Jizhou to help deal with some government affairs, hoping to use this method to make them more stable, who knew that it would backfire, and the battle would become more and more intense!

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi arrived, they were active everywhere, connecting everywhere, and vigorously cultivating their own private forces, and the third son Yuan Shang was not idle in Jizhou, and he also had a large number of network wings, buying Hebei's civil and military ministers, and even secretly raising dead soldiers, sharpening knives and Huo Huo, pointing directly at his two elder brothers!

With the internal struggle between the Yuan brothers, the civil and military forces in Hebei were also divided into three parts, each supporting a son, fighting openly and secretly, fighting for power and profit, resulting in great internal friction......

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and several other strategists talked about it in private, "Hebei soldiers and horses, crowning the princes, if you can work together, you will be invincible in the world, but unfortunately, I am afraid of causing trouble and killing each other......"
