Even though it was busy farming time, the people of the village still gathered together.

The kitten did not skimp at all, and took out his belongings to buy a lot of fish and meat to entertain the villagers.

Everyone was happy at this banquet, and many of the village elders looked at the kitten with pride in their eyes.

After all, in the small village, there is not only a Tai student, but also a general, and this glory belongs to the entire village.

Now the people in the village, even if they go out to talk with other villagers, they will hold their heads high and be honored when they mention kittens.

The feast lasted until nightfall, when everyone left drunk, and many women even helped their men back.

In the bustling courtyard, it finally slowly regained its calm, and the kitten was also a little drunk and confused at this time.

The men in the township are too enthusiastic, almost all of them toast to the kitten, the kitten was born in the military, and it is also contaminated with the heroic atmosphere of the soldiers, so naturally those who come do not refuse.

Therefore, the kitten is now top-heavy, and after the rest of the people left, they suddenly felt sick to their stomachs.

He hurriedly came to the bottom of a big tree, held on to the trunk and began to vomit, the vomit was vented on the ground, and a strong smell of wine rose to the sky.

Chuncao frowned and glanced at the kitten with some reproach, after all, she still felt sorry for her man, and stepped forward and gently patted the kitten's back.

The kitten vomited several times in a row, almost vomiting out everything it had eaten, and then felt much more comfortable.

It's just that the kitten is already a little prostrate at this time.

With the help of Chuncao, the kitten washed hastily and fell asleep on the bed.

It wasn't until the next day that the sun was shining that the kitten opened his eyes, and even then he still felt a bit of a splitting headache.

Chuncao got up early, sat at the head of the bed with her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes were fixed on the kitten, with endless love in her eyes.

"You're awake."

Seeing the kitten open its eyes, Chuncao's eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help the kitten up.

The kitten rubbed his eyebrows, felt as if there was a fire in his throat, and immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Water, bring me some water to drink." ”

Chuncao smiled, hurriedly took the water that had been prepared, and handed it to the kitten.

"Grunt, grunt, grunt."

A large bowl of water was quickly drunk by the kitten, and the kitten also felt better.

"Well, I still have some headaches."

When Chuncao heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Drink less next time." ”

The kitten smiled bitterly twice, and nodded hurriedly: "Got it." ”

Autumn is the harvest season, although the sun hangs in the sky, it does not look very hot, the sun shines on the body, but there is a warm feeling.

Under the big tree, the water from the well of the big black cow and the divine horse did not interfere with the river water, and they each chewed the grass.

The big black bull still flicks its short tail from time to time, and it can be seen that it is very comfortable now.

As for the war horse of the divine horse, after eating the grass for a while, he raised his head proudly, and then snorted heavily.

After the kitten was dressed, he came to the side of the war horse and gently stroked the mane on the horse's neck. After the war horse saw its owner, the horse's head also stretched out into the kitten's arms and arched affectionately.

Although a long time has passed, the big black bull still remembers his male master, and he can't help but be a little annoyed when he sees that he actually ignores him.

The big black bull came behind the kitten and gently rubbed it on the kitten's back a few times.

The kitten suddenly turned his head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar big black bull, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

He let go of the hands that were holding the warhorse, and then turned around, his left hand gently caressing the face of the big black bull, but his right hand was caressing the horns of the big black bull.

The big black cow stood motionless, comfortably enjoying the owner's petting.

"It's time for breakfast."

At this moment, the sound of spring grass came from inside the house, and the kitten patted the big black cow when he heard this, glanced at the war horse again, and immediately walked into the house.

Although breakfast was all leftover from yesterday, it was also very rich, and the kitten had already vomited up the food in her stomach because of her drunkenness, and felt hungry.

Therefore, when he saw the fragrant food, he was immediately overjoyed and ate it regardless of his image.

Chuncao eats in small bites and looks at the kitten happily, with a lingering smile on her face.

The breakfast did not last long, and after eating, the kitten sat down in the courtyard, gently closed his eyes, and enjoyed a rare relaxation.

It didn't take long for Chuncao to finish cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, came to the kitten's side, and sat down next to him.

"How long can you stay at home when you come back this time?"

The kitten opened its eyes suddenly, but a complicated color flashed in its eyes.

His voice was a little low, and he said, "This time, I can only stay at home for three days, and then I will go to the battlefield." ”

When Chuncao heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

Although his own man has become a general, Haruka has always been afraid to hear about the outbreak of war, and every time the kitten rushes to the battlefield, Chuncao will be scared.

Even, many times Chuncao would dream that the scene of the kitten dying on the battlefield made her frightened and inexplicable.

Therefore, when she heard the kitten say that she was going to the battlefield again, Chuncao suddenly felt a twitch in her heart.

Her eyes were slightly red, she tried to hold back her tears and said softly, "When will you be able to unload your armor and return to the field?" ”

The kitten's eyes were a little confused, and he sighed but didn't answer.

As soon as you enter the temple, you can't help yourself.

Although Kitten is only a low-level officer, military discipline still has great restraint on him, even if he wants to retire now, it is not a simple matter.

Taking a deep breath, the kitten looked at Chuncao, and then said: "Wait for me for a few more years, and when I am fifty years old, I can take the initiative to apply for retirement." ”

Today's kittens are getting older and older, and after being accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, they don't have the pursuit and vitality of their youth.

He sometimes fantasizes that the world can be unified as soon as possible, and then he can return to the field without any worries, and accompany Chuncao every day.

When Chuncao heard this, a gloomy color flashed in her eyes first, and then a trace of brilliance erupted.

Three days later, everyone in the village gathered and gave the kitten away.

In the face of the care and advice of the villagers, and in the face of the reluctant eyes of the spring grass, the kitten felt extremely sad.

Riding on a war horse, the kitten's figure gradually faded away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

After running for a long time, the kitten grabbed the reins of the war horse, looked at the direction of home, with tears in his eyes, and whispered: "I will definitely come back." ”

Coincidentally, Chuncao was still standing at the entrance of the village at this time, looking at the direction where the kitten had gone, and whispered with red and swollen eyes: "You must come back." ”

Jizhou, Yecheng, Yanwangfu.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Yuan Shao was lying on the hospital bed, coughing constantly, describing it as withered, and he couldn't see the spirit of the previous one.

"My lord."

There were two people standing next to the hospital bed, one was Fu Zhu and the other was Xu You.

Yuan Shao's eyes were already a little dull, and most of his hair had become extremely gray, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuan Shao's time was running out.

Looking at the two people beside him, Yuan Shao suddenly turned sideways, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the two of them tightly.

"Gong and, Zi Yuan."

The two also knew that Yuan Shao was in poor health, and when they heard Yuan Shao calling them, they immediately responded in unison.

Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of brilliance, and then said: "I know that my time is short, but Jizhou must not be taken away by others, are you willing to assist my son?" ”

When he heard Yuan Shao say this, he knew that he was going to support him, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I am a member of the Yuan family in life, and a ghost of the Yuan family in death, and I will definitely assist my son." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile on his withered face.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

However, Yuan Shao's body was too weak, and after a little excitement, he began to cough violently.

"Lord, lord."

Seeing this situation, Xu Yu was in a hurry, and shouted Yuan Shao one after another.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Yuan Shao coughed violently before he stopped.

He took a few breaths and said a little tiredly: "Among the children, the youngest son Xianyong is very intelligent, but he is too young to learn scriptures and poetry, and it is difficult to achieve great things. “

Xianyong is Yuan Mai's cousin, but Yuan Shao's youngest son, and there are few records in history.

"The second son is a man who guards the city, and it is more than enough to defend one side in the peaceful world, but he can't achieve anything in the troubled times."

Xianyi is Yuan Tanbiao and is Yuan Shao's second son.

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao was silent, with a complicated look on his face, and only continued to speak after a while.

"The eldest son's personality is quite similar to mine, but he can't use his talents, he knows people but can't use them, and his arrogance and lasciviousness make him lose my hope."

"Only the third son Xianfu is the most loved by me, and he can be outstanding."

Yuan Shao looked at the faces of Fu Zhu and Xu You, and said, "I want to establish the lord of Jizhou, what do you two think?" ”

When he heard this, he was shocked, and then he was silent.

After a long time, he raised his head, stared at Yuan Shao and said, "Since ancient times, the elder does not stand the young, and the heir does not stand up. ”

"The eldest prince is the oldest, and he is from a descendant, and the lord rashly abolish the elder and the youngest, I am afraid that it will cause trouble for Jizhou."

Yuan Shao's eyes were slightly condensed, and he stared at Fu Zhu, who was not afraid at all, but looked at Yuan Shao calmly.

After a while, Yuan Shao retracted his gaze, and then asked Xu You: "Ziyuan thinks, who should be the son of the world?" ”

Generally speaking, Xu You is good at self-preservation and will not get involved in this kind of thing.

But for so many years, Yuan Shao has been very good to Xu You, even if Xu You has made a lot of mistakes in private, Yuan Shao can tolerate it, and he is very grateful to Yuan Shao for his kindness.

Moreover, compared with history, the current Yuan Shao is less high-spirited, but more open-minded.

If Yuan Shao in history asked, Xu You would definitely not tell the truth, but in the face of the current Yuan Shao, Xu You didn't have too many concerns.

What's more, if there is a frustration in front of him, even if Xu You echoes it, if Yuan Shao is angry, he will also put the target on the frustration first.

In fact, Xu Yu has another layer of consideration.

If Yuan Shao is appointed as the lord of Jizhou according to Yuan Shao's wishes, not only will he sow trouble for Jizhou, but Yuan Shao will not necessarily be grateful to Xu You.

After all, everyone knows that Yuan Shao spoiled his three sons, and even if Yuan Shang became the lord of Jizhou, he would take it for granted.

Although Yuan Tan is the eldest son, he is not loved by Yuan Shao, and he has always felt extremely worried about whether he can inherit the foundation of Jizhou.

If Xu You supports Yuan Tan at this time, after Yuan Tan inherits the foundation of Jizhou, he will definitely be grateful to Xu You.

And Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao are extremely similar in one thing, that is, they are very respectful of famous people. Xu You is one of the few celebrities in Jizhou, and after Yuan Tan inherits the foundation of Jizhou, he will definitely not snub Xu You.

Out of various considerations, Xu You still said: "It's good to say that if you rashly abolish Chang Liyoung, it will definitely cause trouble for Jizhou." ”

"Of course, there is nothing in peacetime, but now that it is a troubled time, Chen Wenzhao is eyeing Jizhou, and once Jizhou is in turmoil, he will definitely take advantage of it."

"The lord still needs to think twice about this."

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yuan Shao's mood did not fluctuate much, he just sighed slightly, and then closed his eyes.

Time passed little by little, and Frustrated and Xu Yu glanced at each other, feeling a little apprehensive.

After a long time, Yuan Shao suddenly opened his eyes, even though his body was very weak now, he still had an awe-inspiring power.

"In this case, let's canonize Xianfu as the son, and after I die, Xiansi will inherit the foundation of Jizhou."

When he heard this, Xu Yu showed an incredible look in his eyes.

They thought that it would be very difficult to persuade Yuan Shao this time, but they didn't expect Yuan Shao to agree so happily.

Closing his eyes tiredly, Yuan Shao said a little weakly: "Summoning Jizhou civil and military forces to come in, I want to announce the canonization of Xiansi as the son of the world." ”

The two didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly retreated.

After the two left, Yuan Shao opened his eyes again and muttered in a low voice: "Is it right or wrong to embark on the road of dominating the world?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Shao actually regretted it a little.

If he and Yuan Shu did not compete for hegemony in the world, according to Yuan's influence in the Han Dynasty, even if they scattered and defected to various princes, they would be favored.

At least, Yuan's foundation can continue.

But once on the road of hegemony, the Yuan clan has no way out, either reaching the top or being wiped out.

The reason why Yuan Shao did not insist on appointing Yuan Shang as the prince was also because he was worried that the Yuan clan would be wiped out from now on.

In the end, Yuan Shao let out a deep sigh: "I only hope that Xiansi can keep the foundation of Jizhou." ”

At this time, Yuan Shao did not have too many extravagant expectations.

On this day, the whole Jizhou was shaken.

The new lord of Jizhou was confirmed, but after Yuan Shang heard the news, he couldn't believe it anyway.

However, before he could recover from the shock, Yuan Shao had already passed away suddenly.

Yuan Benchu, a generation of heroes, has finally come to an end in his life, and many Jizhou civil and military personnel are crying when they hear the news.

Even, some people fainted from crying.
