After Yuan Shao heard Guo Tu's heartfelt words, his heart was filled with joy. He might even start fantasizing about the scene of him ascending the throne and becoming an emperor.
Just as Yuan Shao was happily enjoying the future, a voice that spoiled the scenery sounded, shattering Yuan Shao's fantasy.
"My lord, Guo Tu's words are the opinion of an ordinary person!”
Yuan Xi looked and saw Tian Feng standing up from his seat. He grabbed Guo Tu and started to scold him.
"Heh ~ If you want to speak, then so be it. Why did you scold people first? Now that you're being reasonable, you're being unreasonable. It'll be strange if Yuan Shao listens to you.”
Yuan Xi took a glance at Yuan Shao's face. Indeed, it was livid, and he was very dissatisfied with Tian Feng's actions.
However, Tian Feng was completely unaware of it and continued to say,
"Before my lord occupied the four northern prefectures, Yuan Shu already occupied the Jianghuai region, the southern part of Yuzhou, the southern part of Xuzhou, and the Jiangdong region.”
"The army is strong and the food is abundant.”
"Ran, what happened after that?"
"Withered bones in the coffin, ignorant of the heavens, claiming to be the emperor and attacking together!”
"In just three to five years, you've fallen into a dead end. This is the outcome of forcefully claiming the title of emperor!”
"The lessons of the past are the lessons of the future! I hope my lord will think twice and not go astray.”
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Xi knew that he had no chance.
Although Tian Feng's suggestion was correct, the meaning of preaching was too strong. Yuan Shao was your master, not your son. How could he use such a tone to advise?
This kind of tough and stiff tone would cause Yuan Shao to not listen to Tian Feng's opinion at all, and would only feel that Tian Feng was very noisy.
If not for Yuan Xi's foresight as a transmigrator and placing him in Yuan Shao's position, Yuan Xi would also be willing to listen to Guo Tu's opinion and not listen to Tian Feng's preaching.
Sure enough, Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shao's expression again. It could no longer be described as ugly. It was almost gloomy until water dripped out.
After that, the remaining strategists either supported Guo Tu or Tian Feng. As for Ju Shou, Xun Chen, and Xu You, they were smart enough not to express their opinions.
As a result, the number of people who agreed and disagreed was three. Three people abstained, and nine people came up with a plan, but they still could not provide Yuan Shao with an accurate plan.
Yuan Xi felt a headache for Yuan Shao when he saw this, especially since these strategists were all very eloquent. Their words were all reasonable and well-founded, making people feel that they were very reasonable.
"Xianyi, what do you think about this matter?”Yuan Shao asked coldly.
Yuan Xi was stunned when he heard that. He immediately blurted out,"Uh... I think all of you are right.”
Yuan Xi immediately reacted. This was not the answer Yuan Shao wanted to hear.
Yuan Shao was currently facing a difficult choice and needed Yuan Xi to give his opinion, not come out to mediate.
"What kind of answer is this!" Yuan Shao said angrily and decided not to ask Yuan Xi anymore.
"Forgive me, Old Man," Yuan Xi hurriedly said,"This is my first time participating in a meeting, so I don't dare to say anything."”
"What's there to be afraid of? You are my son, Yuan Shao. You can say whatever you want.”Yuan Shao's interest was piqued. He wanted to see what shocking words Yuan Xi had, but he actually didn't dare to say it.
"Ahem." Yuan Xi pretended to cough lightly. When everyone's gaze turned to him, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"In this child's humble opinion, what everyone said is wrong!”
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Everyone's bodies stiffened when they heard this.
A second ago, Yuan Xi was still a nice guy who tried to smooth things over, but in the next second, he had become the public enemy. He was just short of saying that everyone present was trash.
"Good fellow." Yuan Shao was shocked in his heart and was also frightened by Yuan Xi's words.
The strategists present were all important civil officials under his command. Yuan Xi's words had offended all of them.
When everyone heard Yuan Xi's arrogant words, their expressions faintly turned ugly. However, because this was Yuan Shao's son, they, as officials, could not rebuke him.
But even though he couldn't scold her, there was no problem with him saying a few sarcastic words.
"Second Young Master, what a big tone. Could it be that you despise us for being mediocre people?”Guo Tu was the first to shout.
Guo Tu boasted that he was the man of his boss, Yuan Tan. Yuan Xi was a young master without the right of inheritance, so he did not put him in his eyes at all.
"That's right! What do you think? Why don't you tell us?”Feng Ji also spoke out in agreement. He did not hide the disdain in his words. Yuan Xi understood that Feng Ji was a supporter of the third brother, Yuan Shang.
Guo Tu and Feng Ji thought that they had a backer, so they dared to speak to Yuan Xi like this. Seeing that two people had already spoken up, the others tactfully kept their mouths shut.
However, their eyes were fixed on Yuan Xi, waiting for him to give them an answer.
"Having a backer is tough!" Yuan Xi changed the topic and said," You have the support of the eldest and the third. You really don't put me, the second son who doesn't have the right to inherit, in your eyes."”
When Yuan Shao heard his son say this, his expression instantly became abnormally ugly. Seeing this, Yuan Xi knew that his words were effective, so he raised his voice and rebuked angrily,
"But have you forgotten? I have a backer too! I'm Ah Weng's son. It's not up to you to teach me a lesson, right?”
As Yuan Xi's voice fell, the entire hall fell silent, so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
