Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 169

    “Cao Cao, you bastard! Cao Ang, you bastard!” Yuan Shao cursed. For the descendants of the fourth and third princes, today’s grievances are only seen in their lives.

    No, he didn’t want to hold a funeral for his unfortunate brother at all, and he cared more about the broken jade seal. Originally in Yuan Shao’s plan, he was only three steps away from becoming emperor: first, to remove the Yuan Shu family from the name to solve the problem of public opinion; second, to build another territory and become the boss of the princes; third, to get the Chuanguo from Yuan Shu Imperial jade seal.

    Now the first two are proceeding in an orderly manner, but the third one, which should have been captured by hand, was smashed by Cao Ang with an arrow.

    Yecheng immediately summoned skilled craftsmen and gathered in the palace to restore the jade seal. However, these thousands of fragments, large and small, were missing a lot in the chaos. Dozens of people have been busy for half a month, but in the end they didn’t recover.

    I can’t stand without a block. It will fall apart without being filled with adhesive. But even if adhesive is used, some carvings can never be restored. After all, none of the craftsmen have ever seen the jade seal in its entirety.

    What’s more terrifying is that the word “天” on the jade seal, “Ordered by Heaven”, was completely lost. This great omen made Yuan Shao’s mood extremely bad, and the frequency of scolding “Cao Ang” skyrocketed.

    “The **** after the eunuch, short-sighted and ignorant of things. He also reads the book of sages, he is stupid. He was stupid and missed the jade seal, but he deserved it, but he dared to do such a treacherous act. The matter has caused me to be unorthodox, and I will be punished sooner or later! Just wait, I think he has the appearance of dying early, and he will not live to thirty.”

    When Yuan Ying was in a meeting, Yuan Shao cursed viciously, his mouth was dry, and he stopped to drink water to moisten his throat.

    The upright Tian Feng strode forward and shouted loudly: “My lord, the weak crown children know that the jade seal is not as virtuous, why should the lord be obsessed with the jade seal? The important thing now is the war situation! Cao Cao annexed Yuzhou, plus Luoyang of the superior Li and Jiujiang and Lujiang of Yangzhou are more than three states. On the other hand, we, including Liangzhou, are only three states. If Cao Cao takes advantage of the situation to go north, he will use the slogan of ‘the one who destroys the Yuan family will be king’. What should I do if I mess with our army?”

    Tian Feng can be said to be logical and clear, but unfortunately the advisors under Yuan Shao’s account are notoriously fond of infighting. As soon as Tian Feng’s voice fell, the trial partner jumped out: “Is there only one smart person in Yecheng, Tian Feng? I have long thought of this. However, Cao Cao sent Yuan Shu’s body with good words. It is to make peace with us. He was surrounded by Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Zhang Xiu and others, dared to go north to Jizhou, and he was not even kicked by his old nest? This is the first. The first of all things. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well; if the words are not correct, the things will not be accomplished; if the things are not accomplished, the rituals and music will not flourish; How wise is the lord, is it someone who is obsessed with dead things? It’s just that we were dragged down by Yuan Shu and lacked a reputation, so we need to pass the national jade seal to deter the princes.”

    Ju Shu snorted coldly and whispered: “It’s all broken, where is the deterrence, in a dream?”

    His dissatisfaction was written on his face, which was noticed by Yuan Shao: “Ju Shu, what do you want to say?”

    Ju Shu had no choice but to come out, he sighed: “My lord, what should I do with Yuan Shu’s body?”

    Yuan Shao bowed his head: “He has committed public anger, and it is too late for me to distance myself from him.”

    “Is that so easy? Loyal people have gone through all kinds of hardships to bring the body back. No matter what, the lord should express one or two. And Yuan Shu is the lord’s cousin after all. Yes.”

      Yuan Shao had to ask his advisors to discuss the details again.

    So there was another quarrel in the tent.

    It is impossible to beat Cao Cao, and it is impossible to beat Cao Cao this year. Yuan Shao couldn’t have beaten Cao Cao before he annexed Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning. At most, they will join Tao Qian and go to Qingzhou to fight the autumn wind. Just wait until next year, whether to fight Cao Cao, how to fight, I am afraid that this group of elites from aristocratic families will have to fight a few more times.

    Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and the blue veins on his forehead showed obvious fibrous blue-purple. On his left is Guo Tu, who shouts, “Bury them with the emperor’s rites reduced by half, Fang Xian Yuxi is orthodox, and it can also win the hearts of the South.” Tianfeng.

    Master Yuan just wanted to smash the porcelain incense burner in front of him, and then go back to the back house to hug his wife and children. His favorite third son, Yuan Shang, celebrated his thirteenth birthday today. The young man had just finished reading the Five Classics, learning to write poetry, and speaking like a son of an aristocratic family.

    The advisors still quarreled over Yuan Shu’s funeral, and even extended to the future political line. But Yuan Shao had lost his mind.

    I don’t know how the poems written by Ashan are today?

    Mrs. Liu said in the morning that she was dizzy, and her face that used to be as delicate as a flower was bloodless. In the morning, I ordered the kitchen to stew chicken soup. I wonder if she ate it?

    Thinking like this, a smile finally appeared on Yuan Shao’s face, looking at the image of a polite and tolerant protagonist again.

    In fact, the biggest problem with Yuan Shao’s faction is faction confusion. Because of his self-proclaimed leader of the family, when he formed his team, he would not refuse to come from celebrities and noble families. Now every time a decision is made, the people below are arguing endlessly for one breath.

    Yuan Shao was very annoying to them, and he didn’t bother to tell which of them was more loyal. He just felt that they all had their own thoughts. Who is not a family? Who hasn’t come from counselor yet? He Yuan Benchu ​​started his career as an adviser to General He Jin, and now He Jin’s grave can bear pine nuts, which is why he has achieved his current career.

      .

    Yuan Shao, who has this kind of thinking, is in response to Guo Jia’s sentence “the virtuous corporal on the surface, but the stubbornness in reality”. But no matter how much people in Juancheng looked down on Yuan Shao, he could still cause trouble for Cao Cao. For example, when he heard that Cao Zhen and Sun Ce were getting married, Yuan Shao sent someone to Juancheng to send a generous gift, a whole box of antiques, saying “to add makeup to my niece”.

    Because of the lag in news and delays on the road, it was already October when this box of glittering local tyrants arrived in Juancheng, and they followed the letter of peace sent by Ah Sheng from Qingzhou.

    One second Mrs. Ding was holding the Qingzhou apple happily, but the next second her face changed. “Bah, when did we Ah Zhen become Yuan Thief’s niece?” She slapped the food table and glared angrily at Cao Cao, so frightened that Madam Bian and Madam Huan both bowed their heads and dared not speak.

    “I suddenly remembered that I still have official business to deal with.” Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Cao got up and wanted to run, but Mrs. Ding grabbed the jade pendant around his waist.

    “Oh, Meng De—” Mrs. Ding showed a threatening smile.

    Cao Cao: “Madam, calm down, calm down.”

    Mrs. Ding gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: “Let you make friends when you are young!”

    Cao Cao also lowered his voice: “Friend! My friendship with Yuan Shao was exhausted as early as when I welcomed the late emperor. He was thrown into the dung pile by the late emperor’s last words. I stink with me!”

    “What do you say now?”

    “Accepting, not accepting it would make us stingy.” Cao Cao replied in a low voice, “It’s a pity that Madam has to trouble the lady to lock up these gold lacquer and jade stones, but I dare not show them to others.”

    Mrs. Ding snorted again: “Big gold and big red, what cheesy stuff, you know you’re going to respond to me.”

    “Oh hello.” Cao Cao exclaimed exaggeratedly, then picked up Mrs. Ding and turned around, “You are becoming more and more lazy after your sons and daughters get married and start a business, and you are even a little wronged. Neither would accept it.”

    “Hahahahaha.” Cao Cao ignored it, hugged Mrs. Ding and turned to the back of the screen, and there was another rubbing that wrinkled Cheng Ji’s clothes.

    Cousin Ding held a big furry head in her arms and sighed: “Are you going to fight again?”

    He strode out of the warm back house and walked into the chilly autumn wind. Behind him, there was a series of hurriedly “respectfully send the prince”, but Cao Cao didn’t even give them a look: “Prepare the horse, go to the military camp first. Let Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Xu Chu generals. , and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, etc., went to the southern suburbs camp to discuss matters. Oh, by the way, we will hold a banquet at Huanghuatai in the evening to prepare yellow wine and autumn crabs. I want to entertain Liu Xuande. Tomorrow, please Chen The palace and the heads of the Yanzhou families…”

    Cao Cao’s energetic voice drifted away, but it seemed that his thoughts were as endless as military and political affairs.

    Until Cao Cao’s back disappeared, Mrs. Ding sorted out her clothes and turned out from behind the screen.

    “Madam.” The two concubines and a group of maids bowed their heads and bowed in respect, until she made a “lift” gesture and then straightened her upper body slightly. Mrs. Bian winked up to support her left hand, and Mrs. Huan followed behind on the right side.

    “A ring.”

    “The concubine is here.” Madam Huan replied in a low voice.

    “Look at that green pine when it was young, it only knew how to fight with snakes, worms, rats and ants. Although it was thrilling, it was not unpleasant to grow arbitrarily. When it grew into a towering giant tree, what it faced was The invincible wind and the crumbling rocks can only grow branches along the direction of the wind and stretch the roots along the cracks of the rock, why is this?”

    Mrs. Bian opened her mouth invisibly, but she didn’t dare to speak in front of Mrs. Ding.

    Mrs. Huan’s face was pale, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly whispered: “Because the green pine has grown into a big tree?”

    Mrs. Ding sighed: “Because the green pine has grown into a big tree.”
