Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 334: Two Things Yuan Shao Entrusted Zhang Sui to Do

Then Zhang Sui, led by the guard, went straight to Yuan Shao's room.

The door to the room was closed.

The guard knocked on the door and said, "My lord, the son-in-law is here!"

A rather hoarse voice came from inside: "Let him in!"

It was Yuan Shao's voice.

The guard pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Sui.

As soon as Zhang Sui entered, the guard immediately closed the door.

Zhang Sui walked through the entrance and came to the bed.

There, Yuan Shao was lying on the bed, and Yuan Mi was sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears.

When Yuan Shao saw Zhang Sui, he forced a smile at him, waved his hand and said, "Here comes Bocheng!"

Zhang Sui stepped forward quickly and was about to salute.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "We are all family, why are you being so polite?"

"Find a place to sit down. I have something for you to do."

Zhang Sui moved the table over and sat on it.

Yuan Shao then said, "Cao Aman has contacted Lü Bu of Xuzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce. The four parties are mobilizing troops to prepare to encircle and suppress that fool Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu is definitely not his opponent."

"Once Yuan Shu is taken down by Cao Aman, Cao Aman's strength will be unimaginable."

"Before, I should have listened to Lord Ju and Lord Tian and asked you to welcome the emperor to Yecheng."

"Now, the good situation has been handed over to others!"

Zhang Sui secretly spat in his heart.

What’s the use of regretting now!

Now, if you dare to send troops, Cao Cao will label you as "besieging Wei to save Zhao" or "rescuing Yuan Shu", and you will be in big trouble!
Although you have the strength.

However, you yourself are also using the name of the Yuan family, which has been a family of three generations of officials for four generations.

It's also under the banner of the Han people!
If you send a large army at this time, many of your own men will not obey you!
You're really asking for trouble!

Although Zhang Sui was disgusted, he dared not say it out loud, and could only comfort him: "It has already happened, father-in-law, there is no need to blame yourself."

"After all, no one can predict the future."

"After all, Cao Cao was far inferior to my father-in-law. It is normal for my father-in-law to underestimate the enemy."

"As long as my father-in-law takes Cao Cao seriously from now on, that's enough."

Yuan Shao reached out his hand, gently patted the back of Zhang Sui's hand, and said bitterly: "At this moment, only you can say something comforting."

"Others either want to kill me."

"Or you can say something mean to me."

Yuan Mi wiped her tears and said, "No one is perfect. These people are unreasonable!"

Zhang Sui sighed.

It depends on what's wrong.

Yuan Shao made big mistakes, and not just once or twice.

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "These people all look down on me, Yuan Shao."

"Even if I, Yuan Shao, am in this situation, what can they do to me?"

Looking at Zhang Sui, Yuan Shao said, "Under the current circumstances, I cannot stop Cao A Man from using his troops against Yuan Shu."

"But I can slow down this trend."

"I want you to do two things."

"If you do one thing wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But in this situation, I can no longer tell who is the enemy and who is a loyal subordinate."

"Only you two, I believe."

Zhang Sui felt like laughing.

I'm not a good person either!
There's just no chance for now.

Zhang Sui said, "Father-in-law, you say."

Yuan Shao raised his index finger and said, "First of all, I want you to capture Shang'er alive."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Yuan Shao said: "I have received news that Shang'er is going to attack me before the third day."

"He thought that Tan'er, Xi'er and my nephew were all far away, and now he was the only one in Yecheng."

"If you can capture my father, Hebei will be his."

"He has secretly taken control of the city defense army." "The commander of the city defense army is my old subordinate Jiang Yiqu."

"He thought I didn't know Jiang Yiqu had been bribed."

"But I'm going to pretend I don't know."

"Firstly, I don't want too many people to know about this. Family disgrace should not be made public. Also, I don't want to alert other armies and lower my prestige."

"Secondly, I don't want to kill him."

Yuan Shao said with a gloomy expression: "I can't be humane now. I only have three legitimate sons."

"I don't want to end up without any children."

"Who can be sure that Tan'er and Xi'er won't do this?"

"If I have to choose between them and me, I would rather die."

"However, at the moment, none of these children is capable of taking over my mantle."

Looking up at Zhang Sui, Yuan Shao said, "Do you understand my feelings as a father? Now, you are also a father."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "So, I will arrange for Shang'er to take action, and then it will be up to you to capture him alive."

Pulling out a tiger talisman from his sleeve and handing it to Zhang Sui, Yuan Shao said, "This tiger talisman can mobilize two thousand guards at the government office and the governor's residence."

"Among them, several generals were bribed by Shang'er."

"When Shang'er takes action, Tian Gong will take action to eliminate them."

"You can only take down Shang'er and the city defense forces with two thousand guards."

"Shang'er knows that you have entered the city, but he claims that he has 5,000 city defense troops stationed there, so he is not afraid of you."

"Do you have the courage? The ability?"

"If you accept this tiger talisman, it is equivalent to you signing a military order."

"If you can't do it, I can only mobilize the army outside the city."

"But I can only use you as a scapegoat."

Yuan Mi was about to stop it.

Yuan Shao signaled her to shut up and said to Zhang Sui: "As my son-in-law, you have no ability and you deserve to die."

"Besides, only if you accept this tiger talisman can I let you do the second thing."

Zhang Sui pondered for a moment, nodded, and reached out to take the tiger talisman.

He also wanted to test his true abilities.

There was no way Yuan Shao would just watch Yuan Shang succeed.

You don’t have to worry too much about the consequences of failure.

Moreover, if he couldn't even deal with Yuan Shang, then his ability would be questionable.

From now on, you can live out your retirement in peace in Zhongshan County.

When Yuan Mi saw Zhang Sui take the tiger talisman, her pretty face turned pale.

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Good son-in-law, you have the style of Yuan Shao."

"Back then, in the meeting hall in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo proposed to depose the young emperor, and I held the sword in one hand and rebuked him."

"A real man should have the courage to not fear death!"

Zhang Sui laughed along.

Yuan Shao continued, "I have spread the news that I am about to die to distract Cao Cao's attention and make him not worry about me taking action."

"In fact, Lord Ju has already sent people to communicate with Lü Bu, Chen Yu and others."

"When you are done with Yecheng, I will prepare a cavalry unit for you. You can lead them to Shouchun."

"Yuan Shu has asked me for help, so I naturally cannot help him."

"Leave him alone for a while. By then, he will be surrounded by Cao Cao's troops. If you rush over to protect him, he will definitely ask you for help."

"Find a way to save his life, and then defend Shouchun."

"When Cao Cao's army besieges the city, I will personally lead my army from Qingzhou to Xuzhou to aid you!"

"As long as you hold Shouchun, I will submit a petition to the court to appoint you as governor of Yangzhou."

"The governor of Yangzhou is more than one level higher than the governor of Zhongshan County, right?"

Yuan Shao raised his second finger and said, "This is the second thing I want to tell you."

Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Shao in amazement and asked, "How did my father-in-law come up with this plan?"

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Don't worry about it!"

"Can't I just figure it out on my own?"

"I made a mistake before, can't I make up for it now?"
