Old Yuan reluctantly nodded.

Ju Shou felt relieved, and thought to himself: "As long as you have someone to choose, I'm afraid you don't have anyone to choose!" '

But when he heard what Yuan Shao said, he was almost so angry that he took a step forward.

I heard Yuan Shao say intermittently:

"Youzhou will be handed over to the second child!"

"Yizhou is under the jurisdiction of the third child!"

"As for the boss, why don't you go to Bingzhou?"

"Senior cadre! You three brothers will rely on your full support in the future!"

After saying these words, Lao Yuan seemed to have settled his mind, and fell asleep again in a daze!

He was confused, but the others were not calm.

What a mess!

Three sons in charge of three states?

Isn't this just playing split?

Where is Lao Yuan arranging Hebei's future? It's clearly a division of the family property!

Fortunately, Hebei, which was originally monolithic, was directly divided into three parts.

It would be fine if only the three of them could hold each other together.

Unfortunately, after the three brothers learned of Yuan Shao's arrangement.

Involuntarily looking at each other with unkind eyes!

Everyone knows that Yizhou is a treasure land, and Bingzhou and Youzhou combined are not as good as Yizhou.

This is clearly Yuan Shao favoring the third son Yuan Shang.

How can the two elder brothers see the best for the third child?

Especially the eldest son Yuan Tan, he is bound to win Yuan Shao's position.

But this is a good thing, not only did not get the position of the general, but was also sent to the barren Bingzhou.

This is how he can accept it!

Yuan Shang got the best Yizhou.

But he was not too happy, most of Yizhou now fell into the hands of Cao Ang.

What he wants is the right to rule the whole of Hebei, how can he be satisfied with just half of Yizhou.

However, what none of the three brothers noticed was that there was another person staring at the ground with hatred in his eyes.

But his mind was like a frying pan.

That is Gao Gan!

He was originally the top leader of Bingzhou. In his opinion, no matter who becomes the Lord of Hebei in the end, he can secure the position of Bingzhou State Shepherd.

But this?

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan took his place.

Then what are you?

It sounds good, assisting the three brothers, but in fact it's not a fart.

Wouldn't all the hard work in Bingzhou become someone else's wedding dress for so many years?

Even if that person is Yuan Tan!

At this time, the high-ranking officer felt uncomfortable as if a pot had been boiled in his brain.

How he left Yuan Shao's room in the end, he had no idea.

When he returned to his mansion in Yecheng.

The abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

This person's name is Qin Lin.

Is an eunuch.

According to what he said, he entered the imperial palace when he was young, and later ran out of the imperial palace because of the dispute between the eunuch and the general He Jin.

After living in Bingzhou, he met Gao Gan by chance.

At first, Gao Gan disliked Qin Lin as an eunuch, so he looked down on him in every possible way.

However, after a long time of contact, Gao Gan discovered that although Qin Lin was an eunuch.

But his martial arts are good, especially good at light work and assassination.

In the ensuing time, back and forth, he helped senior cadres solve many people and things that could not be solved in person.

Since then, Qin Lin has been appreciated by high officials.

And in the end, he became his confidant and bodyguard.

Otherwise, Gao Gan would not have returned to Yecheng and brought him by his side.

Seeing Gao Gan's sad face, Qin Lin immediately came up to him and asked:

"Mr. Gao, why do you appear to be out of your wits today? Could it be Mr. Yuan...?"

Gao Gan sat down heavily on the couch, gritted his teeth and said:

"It would be better if I died sooner? I really didn't expect my uncle to treat me like this!"

Qin Lin hurriedly poured Gao Gan a glass of water:

"Gao Gong, what is it that makes you so angry, come drink a glass of water to get rid of your anger!"

Gao Gan drank the water in the cup in one gulp, sighed and said:

"Hey! Qin Lin, you don't know! My job as Bingzhou pastor is gone!"

Qin Lin was also shocked when he heard the words:

"Gao Gong, are you joking? You are Yuan Gong's nephew and his close relative. Who would dare to give up your position to others?"

"Ah! Who else can shake my position other than my muddled uncle!"

Qin Lin: "And why?"

"Hmph! Why? It's because my surname is Gao, not Yuan!" While speaking, Gao Gan told Qin Lin the whole story.

When Qin Lin heard this, an unspeakable cunning flashed across the corner of his eyes.

In his mouth, he complained to Gao Gong:

"Mr. Yuan's doing this is really too much. If you hadn't worked hard in Bingzhou for so many years, Mr. Gao, there would be no one mind in Bingzhou today."

"Hmph! Who's to say it's not, I spent so many years of hard work in vain, and in the end I ended up with a bamboo basket to fetch water! I'm so angry!"

Qin Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Then Gao Gong, are you willing to give up the position of the lord?"

"Who is willing to give up, whoever is a fool, isn't he the king of a state? Who is willing to give up to others!"

Qin Lin deliberately said: "However, there is no way to do this! Anyway, you have to obey Yuan Gong's order!"

Gao Gan was getting angry, and blurted out: "Made! That old man is about to return to his position, who will listen to him!"

Qin Lin hurriedly said: "Mr. Gao, keep quiet, be careful that the walls have ears!"

Only then did Gao Gan realize that he had overreacted just now.

I hurriedly went out to check around, and found that there was no one else, so I felt relieved.

Returning to the seat again, Gao Gan sighed repeatedly and shook his head!

Qin Lin walked up to Gao Gan and whispered:

"Gao Gong, if you are really reluctant to let Bingzhou fall into the hands of others, why not...!"

Gao Gan's eyes brightened, but he still hesitated and said: "Isn't it bad to do this? Anyway, it's my uncle's idea. As a junior, I have to listen to his arrangement!"

"Small size is not a gentleman, non-toxic is not a husband, Gao Gong, you have to think about it carefully, once Yuan Gong is gone, do you still expect the three brothers to recognize you as a relative?"

Gao Gan pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Forget it! It was your Yuan family who sorry for me first, so don't blame me, Gao Gan, for turning your back on me! Pack up your things immediately, and we will leave tonight!"

"What are you packing! Mr. Gao, let's pack lightly so that no one suspects it! If Brother Yuan is alerted, can you and I get out?"

Gao Gan came to his senses and said, "Fortunately, there is Mr. Qin pointing out the maze, so you and I will leave the city without delay!"

"..."

Inside Yuan Tan's mansion!

Yuan Tan returned to the mansion in a fit of anger, and swept the jug and other things on the table to the ground.

As the eldest son of the Yuan family, he was actually sent to Bingzhou, a place where rabbits don't shit.

It makes people angry just thinking about it.

Just when he was so angry that he couldn't vent, a porter came to report:

"My lord, Master Guo Tuguo please see me!"

"Why is he here, tell him to come in quickly!" Hearing that Guo Tu had arrived, Yuan Tan's heart moved.

Guo Tusu came to make friends with him, so he must have something important to come here at this time, and he wanted to explain it to himself.

Not long after, Guo Tu hurried in.

"I've seen the eldest son!"

Yuan Tan raised his hand: "Mr. Gongze, when is this going on, you still come here, hurry up and give me some advice!"

Guo Tudao: "Don't panic, my lord, isn't it because you didn't get Yizhou? Why do you have to do this?"

Yuan Tan said: "Can I not panic? Is my father's meaning still unclear? Yizhou is the foundation of my Yuan family's foothold in Hebei. Once Yizhou falls into the hands of the third child, doesn't it mean that I will become an old man?" Is he a subordinate? Tell me to submit to him, how can I face others!"

Guo Tu, twirling the few remaining beards that were burned by the fire, said:

"My lord, why don't you understand? That's right, Yizhou is indeed the center of Hebei, and it is much richer than the other two states. But don't forget, there are nearly two counties in Yizhou today. It fell into the hands of the Cao family, and their target is the entire Yizhou, Duke Yuan gave the land of Yizhou to the third child, do you think he can hold it?"

Chapter 299 Guo Tu's End

"Ah! This...!!"

Yuan Tan suddenly became silent.

After a while, he said: "Then what if he can keep it?"

"Hey! My eldest son! Can't you understand the current situation? Cao Cao and Cao Ang are so powerful that even Duke Yuan can't resist. Do you still expect the third child to be able to resist?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"My lord, instead of fighting for a piece of Yizhou that is doomed to be untenable, you might as well manage Bingzhou well. As long as you gain a foothold in Bingzhou and recruit troops in the future, are you afraid that you will not have a bright future?"

Yuan Tan woke up like a dream: "That's right! What the teacher taught me is, what should I do for the present plan?"

"For the present plan, you'd better establish a good relationship with the high-ranking officials first. After all, he is the leader of Bingzhou. What Yuan Gong said this time will inevitably touch the bottom line of the high-ranking officials. If you anger the high-ranking officials, you will also go to Bingzhou No way!"

Yuan Tan's petty temper burst into flames.

"He dares! It's not all because of my father's reputation that he is today. He is a dog of my Yuan family. Give him face. He is the state shepherd of Bingzhou. My Yuan family will take back his official position. How dare he not?" Never?"

Guo Tu saw things quite clearly today, he shook his head and said:

"Young Master! You can't say that. If Duke Yuan's good life is easy to talk about, the bad thing is that he will die! Gao Gan now occupies a state, and has more than [-] elite soldiers under him. If he doesn't want to give up the position of state pastor, what can you do?"

After listening to Guo Tu's words, Yuan Tan also felt a little uncertain.

It's really what Guo Tu said, and it's really a bit reconciled to be robbed of a good state shepherd who replaced him.

Yuan Tan said uncertainly: "It shouldn't happen, right? Gao Gan has always been obedient, so he can't turn against me because of this?"

"People don't know what to do. Young master, you still have to make plans as soon as possible. First of all, you have to stabilize the high-ranking officials."

"En! Thank you, Mr. Gongze, for reminding me. I'll go find the senior officials right away."

Guo Tu did not forget to ask: "Remember to bring more gifts!"

Yuan Tan: "..."!
