Chapter 132 Mrs. Yuan sees through the fake medicine
The spring breeze blows on the northern land, all things revive, and dead trees return to spring.
In Nanpi City, the future northern overlord Yuan Shao is plotting something big.
"My lord, the mobilization of food, grass, equipment and personnel has been completed. We only need to give an order and we can go on the expedition in three days."
There were only four people in the hall: Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang, Shen Pei, and Feng Ji.
After Shen Pei's words, Yuan Shang stood up and said with high morale: "Father, my child asks to accompany you on the expedition." In his heart, as long as the eldest brother is still alive, life will always be awkward.
Yuan Shao wanted to expand. After all, Cao Cao was already a prefect, and he was still a prefect. The eldest son is the biggest obstacle to his unification of the North.
"We will send troops to Gu County in three days." Yuan Shao, who had always been gentle and decisive, rarely made a decisive decision.
Feng Ji reminded: "Where is the old lady?"
Yuan Shao stroked his beard and sneered, "My eldest son and I should be able to tell who is more important."
Yuan Shang took the initiative to take the responsibility, "My subordinates will immediately pass on father's orders to all the ministries. They will assemble quickly in three days and start the army before grandpa can react. In this way, nothing can be done to stop it."
"That's it, go ahead."
on the other hand.
Also in Yuan Mansion.
Two old masters, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei, are also discussing in secret.
As the leaders of the older generation of the Four Generations and Three Fathers, the two of them have no worse vision than anyone else. Others are thinking about the future, and so are they.
"I heard that Benchu was going to attack Xiansi. Wouldn't everyone in the world be laughing at my Yuan family?" Yuan Wei looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Yuan Feng was embarrassed, "There is no room for thought at this time. The two sides have reached the point of conflict. We must make a choice, the right choice."
Yuan Wei's expression also became solemn, "What my brother said is true."
As the situation in the world becomes more and more chaotic, and the princes attack each other to become bigger and stronger, they must make a choice between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao.
But how to choose?
Fortunately, the two elders have experienced the disasters of the Party, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's political chaos, and nearly half a century of ups and downs in officialdom, so they have rich experience.
They first looked at past struggle situations and results.
Last year, Yuan Shao was the leader of the 50-strong alliance, but it was disbanded, infighting, and chaotic.
Yuan Tan went to Luoyang alone, saved the whole family, and then went to Chang'an to successfully assassinate Dong Zhuo.
But the two elders knew that Dong Zhuo's death did not bring peace to the world. It was because Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, failed to control the princes and instead became more and more chaotic.
Therefore, Yuan Shao scored zero points and Yuan Tan scored ten points.
Looking at the forces controlled, they are all within the territory of one county. However, Yuan Tan had chemical fertilizers and potatoes, and his development was more than rapid.
Yuan Shao is not outstanding, but he is not worth mentioning in comparison.
Therefore, Yuan Shao has five points and Yuan Tan has ten points.
Look at the people under his command.
Yuan Tan had Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao, all of whom were great generals, and his counselors included Xu Shu, Chen Lin, and Guo Tu. Although Yuan Shao has more in quantity, there is still a gap in quality.
Yuan Shao scored nine points and Yuan Tan scored ten points.
After comprehensive analysis, the situation is clear.
"Brother, tell me, who should we support?" Yuan Feng asked.
"Brother, I'm just an uncle after all, so you should talk first." Yuan Wei had to shirk the blame.
Because the matter was too big, Yuan Feng didn't want to bear everything on his own, so he said, "How about we write it in the palm of our hand."
Yuan Wei couldn't argue and could only agree.
So the two of them wrote it in their palms and opened it for each other to see.
a while.
Yuan Wei wiped the ink stains and said, "Brother, weren't you planning to choose Primitive at first? Why did you change it to Xiansi?"
Yuan Feng sighed, "I agree, you are right. Those things that the eldest grandson did were to allow the Yuan family to survive in troubled times and live better. And what did Ben Chu do? 50 coalition troops, just Let his leadership be torn apart!”
A good hand involves more than just playing it sparsely. Based on this alone, it is clear who to support.
Yuan Feng then said: "So, it is not because of anything else, but because of public and private interests, we must support the eldest son of the family."
Yuan Wei: "Brother, how do you plan to help your grandson Xian Si?"
Yuan Feng: "I have thought about it for a long time, and I can no longer hesitate. Xiansi has become morally passive, and the world is full of rumors about him, and there are conspirators pushing it. I plan to tell the world in the name of the whole clan, Clear his name.”
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The two of them had almost finished their discussion and walked out.
The waiting butler Yuan Jing stepped forward and bowed, "Master, the eldest son sent an envoy named Guo Jia to ask for an audience."
Yuan Wei touched his beard when he heard this, "Then I'll take my leave first and wait for my brother's notification to summon the whole clan."
After a while.
Guo Jia walked to the study with an uneasy mood. The mission he shouldered this time was really too big, and the means seemed good, but in fact they were weak.
Fortunately, Xu Shu's excuse was enough to support this fraud.
"Xu Yuanzhi, Xu Yuanzhi, I didn't expect that you, with your dignified appearance, could be so despicable in your conspiracy!"
Guo Jia entered the room after pondering and bowed hastily, "I would like to pay my respects to the old man."
Yuan Feng laughed and thought confidently, secretly saying: "This must be my grandson who comes here to ask for help."
He was disappointed that Yuan Tan could do nothing about the current situation, but it was okay to come here to ask for help. It would be even more regrettable if he didn't come here.
Therefore, Yuan Feng was completely arrogant as an older generation supporting the younger generation. In the end, he wanted me, an old man, to take action. Thinking of this, he said calmly: "Why did Tan'er ask you to come here?"
Guo Jia took a step closer and said, "Old Master, the eldest son misses you day and night, so when he gets a panacea, he immediately sends me to deliver it."
Yuan Feng was stunned. He thought he was here to ask for help, but he didn't expect that he was here to express his condolences.
People need to be able to bend and stretch, but at such a critical moment, they still refuse to bow their heads and ask for help? What's more, he is his own grandfather.
While Yuan Feng hated that iron could not become steel, he was also very moved. For many years, Yuan Shao had not given him a gift. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang didn't, and it was the eldest grandson who knew how to feel sorry for the old man.
"What kind of medicine is it?" Yuan Feng asked with a smile.
Guo Jia knew that the critical moment had come. He took a deep breath and said bravely: "This medicine is very miraculous. After using it, you can prolong your life and become younger and more energetic! This medicine is hard to come by. The eldest son's filial piety has touched the world!"
Yuan Feng was stunned, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression soon became gloomy.
The old man understood what filial piety is, and this is how to ask for help. I was afraid that I wouldn’t help him, so I came here to lie!
Prolong life and restore youth?
If there really is such a medicine, who wouldn’t keep it for themselves?
Do you think he is as confused as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he is old? Do you believe this kind of nonsense?
Yuan Fengheng asked: "Is this medicine really so miraculous?"
"Really." Guo Jia answered firmly, but he was panicking inside. He could already see that the other party was beginning to doubt. Only then did I realize that even though my grandpa had retired from old age and returned to his hometown, he was far more difficult to deal with than those princes. It seems that this time the chicken will be stolen but the rice will be lost.
Yuan Feng smiled faintly, "In that case, let me give it a try."
