Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 478 Yuan Shao: Although Tan Er made mistakes, he was not mediocre

Zhang Sui watched Yan Liang lead the second cavalry army into the city of Yijing, but he himself did not go in.

At this critical moment, he would not do anything that interferes with other people's business.

He wanted to see who these civil officials, military generals, and aristocratic families in Hebei would choose?
Only after the Second Cavalry Army had completely disappeared from the city did Zhang Sui ride back to the camp and direct his soldiers to clean up the corpses and prepare for defense in an orderly manner.

When the generals saw that Yuan Shao had fainted and Zhang Sui was only doing some basic cleanup work, they did not raise any objections and did not take any special action.

Everyone gathered outside Yuan Shao's tent, waiting quietly for the military doctors to treat Yuan Shao.

The two military advisors, Xun Chen and Xin Pi, stayed in the tent to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Yuan Shao didn't wake up until early the next morning.

Upon seeing this, the doctor called Xun Chen and Xin Pi aside and whispered, "Although the lord has regained consciousness, his health was already failing."

"Now the blood and qi are attacking the heart."

The doctor sighed and said, "It's too late to save him."

"At least half a year."

"At least two years."

"Get ready!"

After the doctor finished speaking, he bowed to Yuan Shao who had just woken up and left.

Yuan Shao was lying on the bed, with no trace of blood on his pale face.

He just stared blankly at the top of the tent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xun Chen and Xin Pi looked at each other. Xun Chen walked towards Yuan Shao, stopped at the edge of the bed, and said softly, "My lord?"

Yuan Shao came back to his senses and said, "That boy, has he gotten carried away?"

"Now he has got Gongsun Zan's head."

"My Xi'er died tragically again."

"The position of the crown prince has been decided."

Xin Pi came up and whispered, "No, my lord, he didn't do that."

"After you, my lord, passed out, he and General Yan led the Second Cavalry Army to capture Yijing City."

"Afterwards, he ordered General Yan and the Second Cavalry Army to guard Yijing and pacify the people."

"He himself returned to the camp to instruct the soldiers to clean up the bodies and deal with post-war matters."

"As for the position of the crown prince, my lord may not have heard it clearly. When my lord fainted, he said that the credit for Gongsun Zan's head should be attributed to the second son."

"This little bit of merit is nothing compared to the Second Young Master who died fighting for the country."

Xun Chen also nodded.

Yuan Shao's eyes were distracted and dull.

He didn't even take credit for it!
Thinking of Zhang Sui's achievements over the years, Yuan Shao felt as if his heart was stabbed. He asked in a trembling voice, "What do you think, generals?"

Xun Chen said honestly: "After all, he is your legitimate son-in-law, and he is also the General Zhendong and the governor of Xuzhou, the highest official position."

"My lord, now that you have fainted, the group is leaderless."

"Under his strong intervention, no one made trouble and everyone cooperated with the work."

"Those who are free are waiting outside the tent for your orders, my lord."

Yuan Shao's lips trembled.

Even though I was unconscious, were my subordinates so obedient in front of that kid?
Think about it too.

He is the General Zhendong appointed by the Emperor and the Governor of Xuzhou!

In terms of position, who else could be higher than him except myself?
Although he said that the credit for Gongsun Zan's head should be attributed to his second son who died in the battle.

But the second son is dead!
No matter how great the contributions of a dead person are, how can they compare to those of a living person?
Yuan Shao suddenly felt panic from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that the Hebei province that I fought so hard for was being reaped by a farmer's son?
Thinking of this situation, Yuan Shao wished he could stand up immediately and stab the other person to death with one sword!
While letting Xun Chen and Xin Pi help him sit up, Yuan Shao asked in a trembling voice: "What should we do in this situation?"

"This kid has become quite famous now."

"Especially since I've already said before, the position of Crown Prince is between Xi'er and his second son."

"Now that Xi'er is dead, am I really going to hand over this kingdom that I fought so hard for to someone else?" Looking at Xun Chen and Xin Pi, Yuan Shao said excitedly, "Tan'er is still here!"

"My Tan'er is still here!"

"Although he made a big mistake, his 50,000-man army was completely wiped out by Cao Aman."

"But he is not stupid."

"He once conquered Qingzhou!"

"Besides, he is my eldest son!"

"At the beginning, Ju Shou and Tian Feng insisted that I make Tan Er the crown prince!"

"Because of this reason, I had a falling out with Tian Feng."

"Now, I want to support Tan Er as the crown prince and help Ju Shou and Tian Feng. The ministers will not object, right? Right!"

Xun Chen: “.”

He felt a little sad inside.

This time, that time!
If it were still in the past, when you had made the eldest son the crown prince, why would there be so many twists and turns?

But now, the eldest prince has made such a big mistake, and the 50,000-strong army is almost wiped out.

In contrast, Zhang Sui was invincible.

Tian Feng, Zhang He and Gao Lan even followed him to Xuzhou and never came back.

Don't you think it's too late to bring up the eldest son now?
Not to mention, you said before that the prince would choose between the second son and Zhang Sui's second son.

Xin Pi lowered his head, feeling disappointed.

Although he disliked Zhang Sui very much.

He is Tian Feng's disciple.

And Tian Feng is the leader of the Jizhou faction!
But now that things have come to this, what else can we do except go with the flow?
This lord now wants to use the eldest son to overthrow Zhang Sui's position.

What is that promise?
As the lord, what he said was like a fart. What do his ministers think of him?
Moreover, I have regretted it once before!
Another thing is, it is not Zhang Sui who will be the crown prince. It is his and the third lady’s future second son who will become the crown prince after being adopted by the third young master.

Aren’t you still a member of the Yuan family?
However, Xin Pi did not say it this time.

When Yuan Shao saw that Xun Chen and Xin Pi were silent, he felt a pang in his heart.

Grasping Xun Chen and Xin Pi's hands, Yuan Shao said, "You are the people I trust the most. You have always followed me in my battles."

"Although we are king and subject, I treat you as brothers."

"After Tan Er becomes the crown prince, you will be his teachers."

"You know I don't have much time left."

"In the future, after I die, you will be his elders."

"Are you going to watch your disciple's position as the Crown Prince being handed over to someone else?"

"Although Tan'er made a big mistake, he is not mediocre."

"With the assistance of good ministers like you, he will definitely do better than me."

"What do you think?"

Xun Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "First, we need to rectify Yijing and appease the people."

"Afterwards, the army returned to Yecheng to discuss Zhang Sui's position as the crown prince."

"The army is stationed in the camp east of the city. Generals except Yan Liang and Wen Chou are temporarily in charge of their soldiers in the camp and on standby. Without the imperial order, no one is allowed to leave the camp. Otherwise, everyone will be executed."

"After that, we will ambush and kill him according to the previous plan."

"The soldiers of Bingzhou Mu Gaogan should be arriving soon."

"If he dies, we will immediately send senior officials into the city to quell the rebellion."

"Then plan a secret execution of the senior officials."

"Gao Gan's death was framed on him, and then Zhang Sui's entire family, including the third young lady, was executed."

"The Third Miss is your legitimate daughter, my Lord. You executed her with tears in your eyes, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Gao family of Chenliu."
