Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 454: The fight between the crown princes?

Liu Bei did not answer Guan Yu's words.

His expression was somewhat solemn.

He knew Zhao Yun and Tian Yu very well.

When he and Zhao Yun worked together under Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun was able to leave directly because Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.

At that time, Gongsun Zan was so powerful that even Yuan Shao had to give him some respect.

The fact that Zhao Yun could leave so decisively is enough to show his heroism and integrity.

As for Tian Yu, he was the one he brought out of Zhuo County and kept by his side for more than ten years.

Whether it is Zhao Yun or Tian Yu, they are both upright people.

The fact that they are able to serve the young people who are leaving at least shows that the young people are not the kind of people who scheme and plot.

He suddenly said these words to me today, he must know something that I don't.

Moreover, at such a young age, the other party was able to intimidate Cao Cao, kill Lu Bu and seize Xuzhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you and Yide will take our troops out of Yecheng tomorrow and camp outside the city."

Guan Yu was stunned and asked, "Brother, why is this happening?"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "I can't tell."

“Although you and Yide asked me to join this man before, I refused. However, it was not because I was dissatisfied with him, but because I felt that I could not reach the other side under his control.”

"Zilong and Guo Rang are both attracted to this man. I believe in their vision."

“Maybe he knows something about Hebei that we don’t.”

"I don't think he would lie to me."

"Just in case, you guys stay outside the city and act accordingly."

Guan Yu said in dissatisfaction: "Brother, you are too much."

"I've never seen you listen to others so much before."

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu deeply.

It’s because I wasn’t so obedient before, or to be more precise, I was very stubborn.

That's why I took so many detours.

Liu Bei thought of a father and son named Chen Ji and Chen Qun who had come to help Tao Qian before and Tao Qian asked him to garrison Xiaopei.

When Tao Qian asked him to take over as the governor of Xuzhou, the father and son repeatedly advised him not to take on this heavy responsibility, but to lie dormant in Xiaopei.

I didn't listen.

Every time I think about it now, I regret not falling.

If he had not chosen to take on the important responsibility of being the governor of Xuzhou, Lu Bu would most likely still have settled in Xuzhou.

Let Lu Bu and Yuan Shu fight to the death, and then find an opportunity when both are tired to fight again.

It is not certain that we can defeat the two and take Xuzhou or Huainan.

But at least it won't harm the Mi family, the richest family in Xuzhou.

That was the vast majority of the assets of the Mi family, the richest family in Xuzhou, and more than 2,000 followers.

Now I have finished all of it myself.

If these assets were used elsewhere, the situation might be different.

Now that these assets are gone and I am still wandering around, how can I repay the Mi brothers' high hopes?
The Mi brothers didn't give away so many assets for free.

People have high hopes for me and hope that I can transform myself from a businessman into a family of officials.

Now, I have turned this hope into a daydream.

Liu Bei forced a laugh and said, "Yun Chang, just do as I say."

"The governor of Jizhou is already the number one lord in the world."

“We came here with nothing.”

"In this case, it doesn't hurt for us to be a little cautious."

Seeing Liu Bei's determined look, Guan Yu could only nod.

Zhang Sui said goodbye to Liu Bei and Guan Yu, returned to his residence and fell asleep.

After the long journey, he was already exhausted both physically and mentally.

I slept until dawn the next day and was woken up by someone.

It was an official sent from the government office who notified him to attend the morning meeting.

Zhang Sui slowly got up from the bed and started cursing.

This Yuan Shao, this is not giving me a moment of peace. I had a falling out with him yesterday, why did he ask me to attend the morning meeting now?
Despite saying so, Zhang Sui still got up, put on his clothes, and called Zhao Tong and several other personal guards to follow him, while the others continued to stay in the mansion.

When he rushed to the government office, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Liu Bei were all there.

Zhang Sui was a little surprised.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both Yuan Shao's most trusted generals.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou had just arrived with him yesterday.

Why didn't Yuan Shao let them rest for a few days, but asked them to come to the morning meeting the next day like himself?

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were obviously unaware of this problem.

Yan Liang yawned, greeted Zhang Sui, and chatted about yesterday's family matters.

Yan Liang rushed home yesterday, very tired. Even his most beloved concubine had no interest in climbing into his bed, so he told her to get out.

The concubine felt very aggrieved and cried very sadly.

Yan Liang took a long time to coax her into submission, and then he slept with her in his arms all night, doing nothing. It was obvious that he was exhausted.

Yan Liang complained: "What's going on? I don't even want a woman, but you're in such a hurry to ask me to attend the morning meeting."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Yan Liang asked, "Bocheng, have you received any news?"

Zhang Sui shook his head.

Even Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's trusted general, didn't get the news, so it was even less likely for me.

Civil and military officials stood outside and waited for a while before entering the government hall.

After a series of complicated affairs, Yuan Shao sat at the head, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "At this morning meeting, I want to announce something important."

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, everyone's expressions suddenly brightened up.

event?

Yuan Shao can talk about big things, so it must involve many people!

Even Zhang Sui looked at Yuan Shao with some suspicion.

What big thing could happen at this time?
Yuan Shao glanced at Zhang Sui and said with a smile, "At the beginning of the year, when Bo Cheng went south to Xuzhou, he promised me and my precious daughter Mi'er that his and Mi'er's second son would be adopted by Shang'er."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Why is Yuan Shao bringing up this matter at this time?
Everyone else looked at Zhang Sui in surprise.

This is indeed a big deal!
Moreover, it demonstrates filial piety.

Everyone knows that Yuan Shao particularly loved his three sons, so much so that even when the third son, Yuan Shang, rebelled, Yuan Shao did not want him to die.

Now that the third son Yuan Shang died tragically and had no offspring, Zhang Sui was willing to adopt his and the third daughter's second son to the third son Yuan Shang. It seemed that Zhang Sui was indeed very filial to Yuan Shao.

Seeing Yuan Shao staring at him, Zhang Sui could only stand up, bow and say, "Yes."

Yuan Shao coughed a few times, glanced at everyone and said, "You should have noticed that my health is deteriorating."

"Someone mentioned to me yesterday that we should establish a heir just in case."

"After thinking about it overnight, I feel that this is indeed the right thing to do."

"Among my sons, the eldest son, Tan Er, has just been badly defeated."

"Cao Aman is just a mediocre person, but his eldest son Tan'er was able to defeat an army of 50,000. He is useless."

"The third son Shang'er made a big mistake at the beginning of the year and was stabbed."

"Now there are only two people who can take over my mantle."

Everyone was a little confused.

Two people?

Besides the second son Yuan Tan, who else is there?
In the crowd, Guo Yuan's face lit up with joy.

The second person could only be his superior—Bingzhou Mu Gaogan!
Second cousin Gao Rou also looked at Yuan Shao with some surprise.

Although Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, who was also his cousin, was indeed very capable.

But, after all, he is not a son.

Since ancient times, no one has ever been seen passing on his legacy to his nephew!

Gao Rou looked a little worried.

Is my cousin going to get confused?
Yuan Shao greeted the crowd with different looks and said with a smile: "These two people, one is my second son Xier, and the other is the son that Bocheng and Mier are going to adopt to Shanger."

The crowd exploded instantly.

Countless people looked at Zhang Sui in shock.
