The next day, at dawn.
The sky was starting to brighten, and the gentle sunlight shone through the window sill.
Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air. He turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. He recalled everything that had happened yesterday. It felt like it was a dream. It was too unreal, but it was real.
" If this was in the modern era, how could such a woman be someone like me?" Yuan Shao lowered his head and looked at Yang Shi, who was curled up like a kitten in his arms. It was the first time he felt the benefits of ancient society, and he could not help but cherish this kind of life.
General Manor.
In the study room.
He Jin, who was round and fat, looked around at the crowd below and was the first to speak." His Majesty's health is deteriorating day by day, and the position of Crown Prince is still up in the air. I want to appoint a prince as the crown prince, but I'm afraid Empress Dowager Dong and the Ten Attendants will stop me. What do you think we should do?”When Sima Panyin heard this, he said," Empress Dowager Dong doesn't really care. She's just afraid that the eunuchs will stop her. But the most important thing is His Majesty's thoughts…After all, it's hard to predict His Majesty's intentions.”
At this moment, the main registrar, Chen Lin, said to He Jin,"Great General, we can set up a banquet and invite the ten constant attendants to attend…"
At this moment, Yuan Shao immediately reacted and blurted out," Feast at Hongmen?”
He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words," I originally wanted to arrange for an axe-wielder to be present during the banquet?”
"That's right, Great General."
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao quickly reacted and said," Did I want to invite the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court and ambush the executioners at the banquet to kill them?”Yuan Shao listened and nodded with a smile." That's right!”
When He Jin heard Yuan Shao's words, he frowned,"I'm afraid Zhang Rang won't dare to come!"”
Yuan Shao lowered his head and thought, saying," The Great General can discuss with the Empress. Tell her that the Great General wishes to join hands with the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court and request His Majesty to appoint a prince as the Crown Prince at the morning court tomorrow. When they were discussing, they were accidentally overheard by the Little Yellow Gate. When they left the palace, they said that they were going to hold a banquet with the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court. They used the opportunity of the banquet to ambush the executioners at the banquet. When the eunuchs came, they would take the opportunity to kill them when they were drunk. Then, the matter would be successful!”
He Jin listened and was very happy. He shook the fat on his face and laughed.”
At this moment, Cao Cao stood out and cupped his fists at He Jin,"Great General, although this record is good, there are still a few loopholes."
"Oh, what is it? Meng De." He Jin waved his hand at Cao Cao, signaling him to continue.
"First, even if the Ten Attendants of the Eternal Court really came to the banquet, not all of them would come. Secondly, the Great General had always been in opposition to the Ten Attendants of the Regular. They were like fire and water, so why would he suddenly change his mind and hold a banquet for the Ten Attendants of the Regular?”Cao Cao spoke with assurance
Yuan Shao looked at the person in front of him. Cao Cao was seven feet tall, had thin eyes and a long beard, and his face was slightly dark. He looked somewhat powerful. Although he was not ugly, he was not handsome either. And this person was his childhood playmate and good friend, and would become his mortal enemy in the future.
Yuan Shao suddenly remembered the system and asked in his mind,""System, can you check Cao Cao's and my own fourth dimension?”
" Of course, Cao Cao's current commander is 92, military strength 70, intelligence 90, politics 90."
"Yuan Shao is currently Commander 78, Military 69, Intelligence 78, Political 75.”
"Uh, alright, as expected of the Martial Emperor of Wei. But…why is there such a huge difference in the number?”Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel defeated. How infuriating.
"Report! General, the Empress invites you to the palace for a chat.”At this moment, someone pushed open the door of the study and knelt down to He Jin, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"Alright, I got it. Meng De will stop here for today. Ben Chu, Gong Lu, Kong Zhang, you can go back first.”He Jin, who was as fat as a pig, slowly stood up and walked out of the study with the help of the maid.
Looking at He Jin's disappearing figure, Yuan Shao couldn't help but shake his head. He immediately stood up and bowed to everyone in the study,"Meng De. The highway. Kong Zhang. Gongdawu still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first. Farewell!”
After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
"Humph! What can happen to him, Yuan Benchu? I think he's just going to Happy Red Pavilion.”The person who spoke was seven feet and three inches tall, and his face was pale. As he spoke, his footsteps were empty, and his high head seemed to be describing his arrogance.
This person was Yuan Shao's half-brother, Yuan Shu.
"Alright, Gong Dao, why don't we go to Happy Red Pavilion together?”Cao Cao held Heavenly Sword in his right hand and extended his left hand.
"Hahaha, good, Meng De understands my feelings, unlike Yuan Benchu.”Yuan Shu laughed loudly and walked out of the study while talking.
Sima Panyin. The main registrar, Chen Lin, also left one after another. Only the last one was left. He wore a sage crown and a gray scholar's robe. He looked very ordinary, as if you would not notice him even if you were thrown into a crowd.
Only his half-closed eyes flashed with a bright light from time to time."Yuan Shu, you're a good-for-nothing. As for Yuan Shao…he still needed to observe. Troubled times are coming, I wonder who is my wise master?”This person was the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, Xun You and Xun Gongda.
Yuan Shao walked out of the general's mansion and stood on the street. He looked at the crowd and the peddlers on the street. For a moment, he didn't know where to go." Hmm, there's a teahouse up ahead. Let's go up and do some business."”
Yuan Shao strode into the teahouse." Guest, please go upstairs.”The waiter looked at Yuan Shao, who was wearing a brocade robe. He was good at observing people's expressions and immediately came over to welcome him.
"Bring me a jug of good wine and a plate of braised beef.”He said to the waiter according to his past memories.
"Alright, please wait a moment. I'll be there soon.”The waiter wiped the table and pulled out a chair.
Sitting by the window, Yuan Shao looked at the crowd below. Who would have thought that Luoyang City would turn into ashes in a few years?
Soon, the dishes were served. Yuan Shao casually threw a small piece of silver to the waiter.
" Sir, please wait a moment…" After saying that, the waiter turned and left.
Yuan Shao picked up the wine pot, poured some wine, and drank it in one gulp." Yes, it's just a little higher than modern beer. At most, it's a dozen degrees." Forget it, I should think about how I should walk in the future.”
The Han Dynasty had thirteen prefectures: Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou.
The most populated region was Jizhou, with a population of nearly five million.
Just as Yuan Shao was thinking about his future path, he heard,""Brother Hansheng, are you really going to resign and return to your hometown in Nanyang?”
"That's right, once you leave, I wonder when we brothers will be able to meet again."
"Hey! This was something that could not be helped? His son Xu's illness was getting worse and worse, and he was running out of money and food. Miracle Doctor Hua could not find him either. I heard that there's a famous miracle doctor in Changsha. I want to go there and try!”
What the hell! His surname was Huang, and his name was Hansheng. His hometown was still in Nanyang. That was not Huang Zhong! Yuan Shao suddenly turned around and looked at the table in front of him on the left. He saw a man who was a head taller than Yuan Shao. He was about 30 to 40 years old and had slightly white sideburns. He was wearing a chain armor and an iron helmet. His face was serious and he was not angry. However, for some reason, there was a touch of heart-palpitating sorrow in the depths of his eyes. Even Yuan Shao's heart was taken away by it.
"May I know what difficulties this warrior has? I'm Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Central Army of the Eighth Battalion of the West Garden. I see that you're extraordinary, so I've come to make friends with you. I wonder if you'd be willing?" Yuan Shao strode forward and stared straight at the burly man.
"Oh, so it's Deacon Yuan of the four generations. I'm Huang Zhong, the commander of the central army.”Huang Zhong stood up.
"I am Fan Yong, the commander of the first station under the lieutenant of the central army.”
"I'm Li Guo, but I'm just a general under Big Brother Huang.”Seeing Yuan Shao, the three of them stood up and introduced themselves.
When Yuan Shao heard this, his mind spun rapidly. Compared to Huang Zhong, the two of them were just bystanders. However, how could he make Huang Zhong follow him willingly?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao said," So Hansheng is my subordinate. I overheard your conversation just now. Hansheng resigned because of his son's illness. Am I right?"”
