Three Kingdoms King of the North

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, Yuan Xi said angrily, "My younger brother came to Yuancai's mansion to reminisce about the past, and to inquire about father's whereabouts."

Although Yuan Tan had already envisioned countless reasons Yuan Xi might say in his heart, he had already thought about the questions that should be asked next.But now when he said that he went to Gao Gan's mansion to inquire about Yuan Shao's whereabouts, his expression became stiff.After a long time, he asked embarrassingly, "Second brother, did you find any news?"

Yuan Xi shook his head first, and then nodded: "I didn't find out the specific news. I only know that my father first went to Shouchun to join his uncle, and after a dispute with his uncle, he left in a fit of anger. Later, he may have gone to Jingzhou. Xu You Didn't Xu Ziyuan take someone to Jingzhou to find his father?"

Having said that, Yuan Xi looked up at Yuan Tan and said, "Brother, now my father's whereabouts are unknown, but you are eager to compete with Xianfu for the position of Bohai prefect, but you don't care about your father's life or death. How do you do this?" , Is it what children should do? If your father knows what you have done, how sad he will be."

In the era when filial piety comes first, no matter how high and powerful you are, as long as you get a reputation for being unfilial, you are almost doomed, and even loyal subordinates may betray you.Yuan Xi's words immediately made both Yuan Tan and Guo Tu speechless.

After a long time, Guo Tu opened his mouth to break the silence in the room: "Second Young Master, although there are rumors that the Lord is in Jingzhou, it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false. In addition, Gongsun Zan has been eyeing Bohai County all the time. Therefore, after learning of the whereabouts of the lord, only Xu Ziyuan rushed to Jingzhou to find the whereabouts of the lord."

Yuan Xi had already thought it over on the way back. He decided to leave the right and wrong circle in front of him and take people to Jingzhou to find Yuan Shao's whereabouts. As for who will be the governor of Bohai Sea, it has nothing to do with him at all.He got up and said to Yuan Tan: "Brother, younger brother has made a decision. Even if the matter of father's stay in Jingzhou is just a rumor, I have to go and confirm it myself." After speaking, he turned to face Guo Tu, "Grandmaster, I don't know if it's OK or not." Lend me a team of soldiers and horses, and accompany me to Jingzhou to find my father?"

Regarding Yuan Xi's request, Guo Tu showed a troubled expression on his face.He hastily turned his head to look at Yuan Tan, and cast him a begging look, hoping to get instructions from him.

When Yuan Tan learned that Yuan Xi would travel thousands of miles to Jingzhou to find Yuan Shao's whereabouts, he also seemed extremely embarrassed.Because if Yuan Xi went, and he, the eldest son, stayed in Nanpi, he might cause criticism from others.However, this moment is an important moment to fight for power with Yuan Shang. If he leaves rashly, when he comes back, maybe all his confidantes in Nanpi City will be wiped out by Yuan Shang.

It was because of this consideration that he turned a blind eye to Guo Tu's gaze.Instead, he walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking quickly in his mind whether he should stay and continue to fight for power with Yuan Shang; or he should put everything down and go to Jingzhou with Yuan Xi to find his father's whereabouts.

After repeated thinking, the idea of ​​fighting for the position of prefect still prevailed.He thought to himself, with his father's love for Yuan Shang, even if he and Yuan Xi brought him back to Nanpi from Jingzhou, the future prefect of Bohai Sea would still belong to Yuan Shang sooner or later, and he would just make wedding clothes for others.

"Young Master!" Seeing Yuan Tan's delay in speaking, Guo Tu couldn't help being a little anxious, so he called out in a low voice, "I don't know what your plan is?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, Yuan Xi said angrily, "My younger brother came to Yuancai's mansion to reminisce about the past, and to inquire about father's whereabouts."

Although Yuan Tan had already envisioned countless reasons Yuan Xi might say in his heart, he had already thought about the questions that should be asked next.But now when he said that he went to Gao Gan's mansion to inquire about Yuan Shao's whereabouts, his expression became stiff.After a long time, he asked embarrassingly, "Second brother, did you find any news?"

Chapter 337 Guo Jia's Strategy

Coincidentally, the secret letter written by Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to Han Zhan arrived in Yecheng on the day when Guo Jia returned from Chang'an with a group of people.Han Zhan, who was welcoming Guo Jia, frowned when he saw the secret letter from the Lu brothers.

Seeing Han Zhan's reaction, Guo Jia asked curiously, "My lord, what was written in the letter that made you so embarrassed?"

"Feng Xiao, take a look." Han Zhan thought that Guo Jia was the most powerful advisor under his command. Only he could give him good advice on such matters, so he handed over the letter in his hand.Guo Jia took the letter, only glanced at it for a few times, and then couldn't help frowning.

Han Zhan has been observing Guo Jia's reaction, and seeing the expression on his face, he tentatively asked, "Feng Xiao, what do you think of this matter?"

Guo Jia did not immediately express his opinion on Yuan Xi's going to Jingzhou to find Yuan Shao, but instead asked: "Master, if Jia remembers correctly, brother Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are under house arrest in Yecheng, right?"

"That's right." Han Zhan nodded and said with certainty, "A month ago, he was indeed under house arrest in Yecheng."

"Jia would like to ask, why did my lord let the Yuan brothers go?"

"Yuan Shao's whereabouts are unknown now, and the person in charge of Bohai County is Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang." Seeing Guo Jia's expressionless face, Han Zhan didn't know his attitude towards the release of the Yuan brothers, so he told the truth. My own plan: "Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are brothers, if they are released back, they will definitely fight against each other because of seizing power. In this way, when we attack Qingzhou, we don't have to worry about the constraints of Bohai County."

"Oh, the Lord is on business!" Guo Jia stomped her feet anxiously when she heard what Han Zhan said, and said hastily, "I don't know if you have considered that once the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fight in Bohai County, the fisherman will be the one who wins in the end. Who will it be?"

"Who is it?" Han Zhan asked blankly.

"Who else could it be?" Guo Jia said dumbfoundedly: "Of course it's Gongsun Zan from Youzhou. If Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought in Bohai County, once both sides were defeated in the fight, Gongsun Zan would only need to send out a partial division to kill them." Bohai County can be taken easily. Once Gongsun Zan has a firm foothold there, do you think we can take Qingzhou with peace of mind? Maybe at some point, the back road will be cut off by Gongsun Zan's army."

Guo Jia's words reminded Han Zhan. He used to only think about causing the Yuan family brothers to fight among themselves, but he forgot about Gongsun Zan who was watching from the north.He asked Guo Jia in a panic: "Feng Xiao, tell me, what should we do now?"

"My lord, there are two things that we need to do immediately." Guo Jia stretched out two fingers and said: "One is to immediately send someone to recall Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers, so that Yuan Tan becomes isolated and helpless. He still can't make up his mind to fight Yuan Shang with his confidantes in the city; the second is to send people to Jingzhou to find Yuan Benchu's whereabouts and escort him back to Nanpi safely."

Han Zhan could accept Guo Jia's previous proposal unconditionally.But when he heard the second condition, Han Zhan immediately jumped up from his seat: "What, send someone to find Yuan Benchu ​​and send him back to Nanpi?"

"That's right, we must find Yuan Benchu ​​and send him back to Nanpi." Guo Jia nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "Only when he returns to Nanpi, the Yuan brothers will not fight each other. As long as Bohai The county is a solid block, so it can prevent Gongsun Zan from going south, so we can concentrate on attacking Qingzhou."
