To be honest, the only person who could speak so directly in front of Yuan Shao was Cao Cao.

After all, the relationship between the two of them is really extraordinary. Although Cao Cao has always been under Yuan Shao, in Yuan Shao's eyes, only Cao Cao is on the same level as him.

Although the rest of the people in Hebei cooperate with the Yuan family for their own interests, in Yuan Shao's eyes, they are all his subordinates, not peers.

Regarding the current family affairs, Yuan Shao pondered over and over again, and the only thing he could do was talk to Cao Cao.

"Isn't that the bastard boy! What a surprise, he was actually favored and commanded by Liu Qi in Luoyang. How does this make X's face fall?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled and said: "When Xiansi was in the Central Plains, he joined forces with me. I think that although he is a little impetuous and is used to fighting with others, he is not the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong. If we say that he

Cao was the first one not to believe that he would be bribed by Liu Qi."

Yuan Shao snorted and said: "Yuan also doesn't believe it. I think some things are just rumors spread from Luoyang. I heard that there are many elites in the Luoyang Guard Agency, and they are best at building momentum among the people.

The fact that Xian Si was in Luoyang was probably spread to Hebei on purpose by Liu Qi under the orders of the Guards Department, which is not surprising."

Seeing Yuan Shao's thorough explanation, Cao Cao secretly thought that his eldest brother was no ordinary person after all, and he could think through some things instantly.

Although Cao Cao did not dare to say that the rumors about Yuan Tan in Hebei were all caused by Luoyang, at least half of them were secretly operated by the Guards Agency.

Liu Qi and his subordinates are capable, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not ordinary people either.

"Since we already know the reason, why should we be upset?"

Yuan Shao sighed and said: "The reason why Yuan is so depressed is not because of the people in Luoyang, but on the contrary, it is the actions of these people in Yecheng. These people headed by Shen Zhengnan are all very hateful, not only

Instead of defending Xiansi, you still take advantage of others' danger! No matter what, he is still my son! How dare they!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and sighed: "It is reasonable for the people in Jizhou to take the opportunity to suppress Dalang. After all, Xiansi no longer has his biological mother, and Sanlang's biological mother was born in Hebei, and she has broken bones and connected tendons with these people."

, it’s strange that they don’t support Saburo.”

Yuan Shao was silent for a moment and said: "Today Zhengnan came to spread rumors about Luoyang to me, saying that they were ridiculous, and asked me to refute them..."

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "With the way my brother behaves, I'm afraid I won't just refute him? I have to give him some benefits."

"Meng De knows me."

Yuan Shao proudly puffed up his chest and said: "The people of Hebei are the backbone of the imperial court. If they refute them blindly, it will be of no use to you or me. If they want to support Sanlang, then Yuan will naturally have to comply with their wishes."

Yes, I have told Zhengnan to let Sanlang take up a post in the Shaofu to appease the hearts of all the tribes in Jizhou!"

Cao Cao just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

When Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao didn't answer, he secretly said, "Slippery."

He then leaned forward and asked Cao Cao: "Mengde, in your opinion, which of my sons can succeed in the great things in the future?"

Cao Cao did not expect that Yuan Shao would suddenly ask him this, and he was a little surprised.

He didn't understand Yuan Shao's purpose in asking him about this matter, so he showed hesitation.

"This is my brother's family matter, but I can't say much about it."

"You are my brother. To these children, you are like a father. To Shao, what you say is just like what a member of the clan would say. Why should you be cautious?"

After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Cao Cao smiled lightly and didn't care too much.

Just listen to some words. If you take them seriously...it's either that Cao Cao is stupid, or that Cao Cao treats Yuan Shao as a fool.

However, at this moment, it’s not that I can’t answer Yuan Shao’s question, I just need to pay attention to a method.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had been close friends since they were young, and the two families had frequent contacts. Cao Cao had met all of Yuan Shao's sons before.

Although these boys were not very old at that time, Cao Cao still had a deep impression on them.

Of course, the one who impressed him most deeply was Yuan Tan, who fought against the Southern Army with him in the Central Plains.

Cao Cao thought seriously for a while, and then said slowly and authentically: "At first, I have to say it. It is actually your sons who were too young when I met them. The former Dalang was with me in the Central Plains.

I know him somewhat well, but I have never met Erlang and Sanlang in these years, how can I decide this matter?"

Yuan Shao frowned, thought about it for a moment, and finally sighed: "That's true."

Cao Cao probed: "At this beginning, among these three children, who is the most like his father?"

Speaking of this topic, Yuan Shao's face suddenly showed a hint of amusement.

"To be honest with Meng De, although the third son Yuan Shang is young, his appearance, temperament and behavior are all the same as my brother. When I see him, my brother seems to see what he looked like when he was young... He is indeed extraordinary and heroic.

ah."

Cao Cao stared at Yuan Shao's face closely, trying to figure out the changes in his expression when he spoke.

When he saw the pride and joy on Yuan Shao's face when he talked about his third son Yuan Shang, Cao Cao's heart suddenly brightened.

"So, I think Sanlang is the most similar to his father, can he become a great person?"

Yuan Shao smiled and stroked his beard and did not answer too much, but the expression on his face showed his thoughts.

Even though Yuan Shao had just frightened the judge, and at the same time he was disgusted with the various tribes in Jizhou for slandering Yuan Tan, to be honest, Yuan Shang was still his favorite.

If Yuan Shao hadn't doted on Yuan Shang too much, the tribes in Jizhou would not have dared to easily weigh Yuan Tan's position.

"It's okay if I want Sanlang to inherit the inheritance... After all, Sanlang's mother is from a wealthy family in Jizhou. If Sanlang can inherit the inheritance, he will definitely get the support of all the tribes in Hebei... However, there may be some

A hidden danger." Cao Cao said slowly and authentically.

Yuan Shao was not a confused person. He immediately understood what the hidden danger Cao Cao was talking about.

"What Meng De said is that my son is young, and his mother's family has close ties with the local wealthy families in Jizhou. If someone is not good, it will be easy for others to control him, right?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Actually, it's Cao who is too worried. After all, this is the prime of life. As long as you are here, no one in the world can think of making trouble in Hebei."

I don’t know if the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is very intentional.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time and then said: "Actually, I know exactly what my body is like."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was stunned.

"What does this statement mean at the beginning?"

Yuan Shao sighed, shook his head and said nothing.

Ever since the battle in Zombie Township, Yuan Shao felt that something was getting worse and worse with his body.

He couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but he just felt uncomfortable.

Sometimes I feel upset, sometimes I feel dizzy just sitting there, and I always get tired easily, and I keep coughing all the time.

In the battle of Corpse Township, Yuan Shao was defeated by Liu Qi and suffered a huge psychological trauma.

Although he seemed to be fine on the surface, in fact, he was always filled with resentment. Yuan Shao could not swallow the pain Liu Qi had caused him.
