In the end, Cao Cao put down Guo Jia's affairs for the time being... Think about it, since Emperor Xian's purpose was to let Cao Cao kill Guo Jia, wouldn't Cao Cao really go to kill Guo Jia as Emperor Xian's intention? Of course, Cao Cao is definitely not a person who will be stuck by this problem. Now, Cao Cao hesitated only whether to kill Guo Jia or not. Once Cao Cao really decides to kill Guo Jia, can't he find any way? Death in an accident, death from illness, or even suicide? Perhaps he will still be suspected, but as long as it is true, doubt or doubt will not cause too much chaos, right?

So Cao Cao turned to think about the problem with Yuan Shao first. Although Yuan Shao is no longer able to do it now, Cao Cao can still clearly distinguish the importance of the matter. Cao Cao will not put the cart before the horse, nor will he be so proud that he forgets what he should do first, and misses the opportunity, and even gets seized by someone to rebel against the situation.

......

Jizhou, Yecheng,

However, after Yuan Shao returned from defeat and vomiting blood last time, he was unable to get sick for a long time. Just like Guo Jia before, he could not handle matters at all. Since he was defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao could be attacked at any time, including Bingzhou on the Western Front, and the situation in each state was very bad, and people were panic and urgently needed to stabilize internal defense.

So Yuan Shao sent Xin Ping, and Guo Tu hurriedly followed Yuan Tan to Qingzhou to rectify, fearing that Cao Cao would invade the territory. Because Qingzhou is the border and Yuan Tan is also Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Shao deliberately sent Guo Tu and the Xin brothers to help. Yuan Xi returned to Youzhou as usual, and the senior officials also returned to Bingzhou as usual. Needless to say, Yuan Shang still stayed in Jizhou.

Originally, this arrangement was no different from before, and it was not surprising. But the problem now is that although Yuan Shang was in charge of Jizhou in the past, Yuan Shao was also in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was the one who could really decide the final decision. But now, Yuan Shao fell ill and Jizhou was truly decided by Yuan Shang. With Yuan Shang's mother Liu, who helped behind the scenes, with Shen Pei and Feng Ji's assistance, Yuan Shang could be said to have completely controlled the entire Jizhou.

If Yuan Shao slowly got better, it would be fine. I guess Yuan Shang would not dare to rebel directly and would obediently hand over the power to Yuan Shao, but what if Yuan Shao died like this?

Yuan Shao has always liked his youngest son Yuan Shang and had the idea of ​​making Yuan Shang the queen. But Yuan Shao also knew that this kind of thing was very obstacle. Since ancient times, he has established a eldest son but not a young man. Yuan Tan himself has never made any mistakes. He also managed Qingzhou well. In this way, should he choose Yuan Shang?

From a personal perspective, Yuan Shao likes Yuan Shang, but Yuan Tan is indeed his biological son. It should be Yuan Tan's, but he gave it to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao will definitely feel a little sorry for Yuan Tan. From the perspective of the family's great cause, this act of abolishing the eldest child may cause internal chaos and internal division. Therefore, it is a headache for Yuan Shao.

All the sons are too excellent, and not all of them are good. In fact, Yuan Shao's situation is a bit similar to Li Yuan later. None of his sons are mediocre. Yuan Shao has always been an indecisive person, and such a problem makes Yuan Shao even more confused. Fortunately, Yuan Shao is still "young" and thinks he can live for many years, so Yuan Shao has never been in a hurry these years. He thought he would come slowly and slowly, just like the students in later generations who will never make up for their homework until the last day of the holiday. It is a typical procrastination.

Of course, Yuan Shao's idea is not a problem. The long road knows the horse's power, and it means that it will be seen from a long time. The longer the test period, the more the essence can be achieved. For example, if Yuan Tan made a mistake, had some problems in some aspects, or even died of accidents, Yuan Shao would not have any headaches. He would naturally make a choice, and there would not be such great resistance at that time. Therefore, Yuan Shao has always been thinking of waiting and has been unable to make a choice.

Including this time, even though Yuan Shao had been lying on the hospital bed for so long, he might have died at any time, but he still wouldn't think that he would die. He still thought that he could survive and fight Cao Cao for another five hundred years after he got better! At this time, if Yuan Shao wanted to become a crown prince, wouldn't he also believe that his life would be long? Yuan Shao was unwilling to face this reality!

Therefore, even if others are anxious, they dare not mention to Yuan Shao that he has not decided who to take over. As long as he dares to say this, Yuan Shao will probably be angry and will directly take someone out and cut you off!

As a result, you didn't say anything, I didn't say anything, and I dragged it again and again. Finally, one night, Yuan Shao never woke up again as soon as he fell asleep. That night, the whole city was filled with crying, and the city was covered with plain white. If Yuan Shao knew about it, he would definitely jump out of the coffin. Who prepared it in advance?! After receiving the news, the Yuan family members scattered in various states also urgently returned to Yecheng.

Until Yuan Shao died, he said nothing. In his mind, Yuan Shao finally decided which son to choose, which one has now become an eternal mystery. However, according to the customs since ancient times, this situation must have been replaced by his eldest son Yuan Tan, which is nothing special.

Then, the question arises. Is Yuan Shang willing to let Yuan Tan take over? Is Liu willing? Of course, if the two of them are unwilling to give up, it will be useless if there is no support from important officials. The key is that the ministers recognize you Yuan Shang and are willing to assist you Yuan Shang, so that you Yuan Shang can take over. Just like Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

Originally, under normal circumstances, even if Yuan Shang had a close friend, he would probably be weak and could not control the general trend. But at this time, another problem of Yuan Shao's style of conduct was also exposed. That was to balance his subordinates! Yuan Shao had many important officials under his command and was in chaos, and Yuan Shao deliberately asked the people below to fight each other to suppress each other to achieve a balanced effect. In this way, no one would think about dealing with him, Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao could always be safe and above.

Therefore, this led to the fact that the important officials under Yuan Shao, various factions and camps were clearly divided into many important officials. Needless to say, Guo Tu and the Xin brothers were in the same camp, and Shen Pei and Feng Ji were considered to be in the same camp, and the two camps were naturally in opposing political and enemy relationships. Guo Tu and the Xin brothers were close to Yuan Tan, and this time they also went to Qingzhou to help with Yuan Tan. It is conceivable that once Yuan Tan takes over Yuan Shao's stance, Guo Tu's camp will become completely prominent, occupy a high position, completely suppress Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others. In addition, Guo Tu's ruthless methods will definitely find opportunities to destroy Shen Pei and Feng Ji one by one. In other words, if Yuan Tan takes over, Shen Pei and Feng Ji will be dead, and their lives will be no longer guaranteed. What are the careers to go to?
