As Xu You finished speaking, everyone held their breath, stared at him tightly, and quietly waited for the answer to be revealed.

During this period, Yuan Tan seemed to be sure of victory, and Yuan Shang also showed joy, but Yuan Xi looked calm and seemed to be unrelated to his own affairs.

Xu You saw the expressions of the three of them, and at this time he felt even more correct in his decision.

"We jointly decided to let the second son Yuan Xi temporarily take over the position of Jizhou governor, generalize all matters in Jizhou, and command the three armies!"

Xu You said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Yuan Tan's eyes widened and his face was stunned.

"impossible!"

Yuan Shang shouted in surprise with incredible face.

Only Yuan Xi looked calm and obviously had guessed Xu You's decision.

"Is it the eldest son, and what objection does the third son have?"

Xu You and the others were still arguing about it before. Now, seeing these two people's inappropriate performances, in addition to sighing, they were also confused about the future, and he asked indifferently.

"Why is my second brother? Everyone can see my civil and military skills. If I take over my father in charge of Jizhou, I will surely lead Jizhou to wipe out Zhang Yan, Heishan, stabilize the territory, go north to expel Gongsun Zan, and unify the land of Hebei. Why wouldn't I choose my second brother? I'm not convinced!"

Yuan Tan was like a fire, and when he saw that Xu You and the others chose were not him, he took the lead in trying to win the way for himself.

"You are not convinced? Hehe, everyone knows that the assassin who assassinated his father was personally recommended by Guo Tu. Brother, you have always been very close to Guo Tu. I wonder what explanation should you explain about this?"

Yuan Shang looked disdainful and laughed.

"You...hum, Guo Tu has ulterior motives. I had a good relationship with him before, but the assassination and serious injury of my father had nothing to do with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have appeared here. Third brother, you are so impatient. Could it be that you want to take over Jizhou instead of your father?"

Yuan Tan was stunned. He knew that someone would use this matter as an example and let him choose to give in order to avoid suspicion. But what Yuan Tan really didn't expect was that Yuan Shang would tell him himself. It was obvious that he was anxious, so he pulled himself like this. Then Yuan Tan replied unhappily.

"I don't know if my father was assassinated or not, I don't know if he has anything to do with you, my elder brother. I can only wait until my father wakes up before pursuing this matter. But now, anyone can take over Jizhou in place of his father, but you can't, brother."

Yuan Shang said in a deep voice.

"Why can't I do it? You can do it if I don't? Third brother, you don't think you are worth it. Do you have the ability to govern Jizhou?"

Yuan Tan said disdainfully that in order to win the Jizhou Governor, he didn't care about so much at this time.

"Hmph, I can't learn. As long as I give me some time, I will be able to sort things out!"

Yuan Shang's face changed and he said.

...........

Yan Liang and others on the side watched Yuan Tan coldly. Yuan Shang and the others were quarreling here like shrews, shaking each other. As the two quarreled, these Jizhou bosses who held the power were immediately upset, but they were also secretly glad that they did not choose these two people.

"I am my father's eldest son. Now my father is seriously injured and unconscious. He cannot handle all matters in Jizhou. I should be replaced. Please let me take aside. General Yan thinks twice!"

Yuan Tan suddenly turned around and bowed to Xu You, Yan Liang and the others.

"I am my father's favorite son. I have not caught the murderer even after my father's assassination. Although the eldest brother is the eldest son of his father, he has no connection with this matter. Both public and private, the eldest brother cannot take over his father's position. Please give me a goodbye and General Yan will consider it again!"

After seeing Yuan Tan plead for the two most powerful people in Jizhou, Yuan Shang hurriedly bowed to Xu You and Yan Liang.

"Young Master, we can see your civil and military achievements, but the assassination of the lord is of great importance. In order to avoid suspicion, please don't make things difficult for us."

Xu You smiled bitterly at Yuan Tan when he heard this, which showed that he was determined not to support Yuan Tan.

"Three Young Master, although you are smart and quick to learn things, now my Jizhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides. Gongsun Zan in the north, Yang Bowen in the west, and Cao Mengde in the south will always send troops to attack Jizhou when his lord is in a coma. When my Jizhou is in danger, I would like to ask the three Young Masters to put the overall situation first."

Xu You said to Yuan Shang again.

After Yuan Tan was rejected, his face turned pale. When Yuan Shang was about to gloat, he heard Xu You's remarks. Then he seemed like a duck who was strangled to his neck, his face turned red and he was very embarrassed.

"My lord once said that if he encounters an unexpected situation, I, Wen Chou, Xu You, Gao Gan and Ju Yi, discuss his heirs. Now I just choose a temporary replacement, and the two young masters will lose their moral integrity. It is really shocking. Now we have decided to let the second young master Yuan Xilai take over the position of Jizhou Mass. I hope the eldest son and the third son should put the overall situation first."

Yan Liang then went out to Yuan Tan, and Yuan Xi said with his fists. He could hear the general who held the power in his words was extremely disappointed with them.

"Since that's the case, then I will obey!"

Yuan Tan's expression changed, and he couldn't hear what Yan Liang said. At this time, he could only grit his teeth and admit that he had obviously accepted this reality.

"Then...then I will obey too!"

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Yuan Shang quickly responded.

"Okay, since the two young masters have no objection, then the second young master will replace the lord, temporarily take over the position of Jizhou, and take charge of all matters in Jizhou. You should do your best to assist the second young master in the future. If anyone disobeys the situation, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Seeing Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang give up fighting for the Jizhou Governor, Xu You immediately glanced around the people in the room and said in a deep voice.

"We will remember the teachings of the two young masters and will assist us!"

The civil and military officials quickly stepped out and clasped their fists to respond.

"Xianyi is really frightened to be favored by all the officials in Jizhou who are the loyal ministers in Jizhou to take over his father's position as the governor of Jizhou. But since everyone trusts Xianyi so much, Xianyi will do his best to stabilize the situation internally and expand the territory outside!"

Yuan Xi then stepped out and walked to Xu You and others, bowed to everyone.

Yuan Tan's face turned pale, and Yuan Shang's face was not good-looking, but after this matter was a foregone conclusion, the two had to accept the reality helplessly.

Previously, the two of them were still imagining how to show their strength after becoming Jizhou's governors. However, God's will is what they do, in the end it is just their own imagination. But Yuan Xi, the most unexpected, sat on the throne of Jizhou's governors, and the world is really impermanent.

"Since Xianyi has become the lord of Jizhou, some things have to be said in front of me, so as not to be difficult for someone to violate Xianyi in the future. Here I set a few rules. First, if there is no joint order of the four generals, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Jian, and Ju Yi, one soldier cannot be transferred at will. If anyone violates it, he will be killed and unpardoned. Second, the reports of the counties and counties in Jizhou must be delivered to me or someone else as soon as possible. If someone dares to deceive and refuse to report, the worst will be killed, and the worst will be removed from the position. Third, my father is in a coma, and the princes near my Jizhou will be ready to move. At this point, I want to transfer my eldest brother Yuan Tan to command 20,000 troops to Yi County, Hejian County, to garrison Gongsun Zan, mainly to Youzhou. I lead a large army in Wei County to resist Yang Fan, Bingzhou and Cao Cao, Yanzhou."

Yuan Xi made drastic moves as soon as he arrived. He first explained the military's mobilization system, then explained the time to understand political affairs, and finally transferred Yuan Tan, who was the most dangerous to his status, which was so decisive that it was overwhelming.

At this point, everyone had no choice but to bow and accept the order.

Seeing Yuan Xi's behavior as a lord, he immediately arranged the positions of everyone, Xu You and others were relieved.

Youzhou, Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

Just when everything was settled in Jizhou and when Yuan Xi issued an order, Gongsun Zan also received a reward from the spies in Jizhou, and then called his civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

"When Guorang, Yuan Shao led his army to fight against Zhang Yan in Heishan, he was assassinated. Although he escaped, he was seriously injured and unconscious. Now Jizhou is in a storm. Will our army go south to capture Jizhou?"

Gongsun Zan asked excitedly.

"Master, is the news reliable?"

Tian Yu was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said.

There are many doubts among them. Yuan Shao's army was 200,000 to 300,000, how could the assassin have an opportunity to take advantage of? Tian Yu, who was full of wits, suddenly thought about it.

"What? Could it be that Guo Rang felt that Yuan Shao was seriously injured and unconscious was fake?"

Gongsun Zan asked hurriedly.

"Lord, now my Youzhou is just settled, people's hearts are unstable, and the army's morale is unstable. You have to be careful in everything!"

Tian Yu replied.

"The country's concession does not need to be doubted. I have confirmed this several times, and there will be no falsehood. Yuan Shao's three sons are fighting for the governor of Jizhou in Yecheng. His army is also outside Yecheng. At this time, there are not many defenders in the four counties of Hejian, Bohai, and Zhongshan Anping. It is the opportunity for our army to go out to fight!"

Gongsun Zan said anxiously.

"Yuan Shao has more than 200,000 troops, and our army has only more than 100,000 troops. Apart from the defenders guarding various places, our army can only mobilize only 100,000 troops. If we want to join the four counties, it will be a bit difficult!"

Tian Yu frowned and said after analyzing the strength of both sides in his heart.

"Ah, Guorang, this is not a time to hesitate. At this great opportunity, we must give it a try. Didn't Youzhou fight like this? After the Jizhou Muslim selection, our army will have no chance."

Gongsun Zan was furious and quickly persuaded Tian Yu. It was obvious that he was a little addicted to gambling. When the winning rate was large, any gambler would choose to take a try. This is the gambler's psychology, which ordinary people can't understand.

"Since the lord has such great ambitions, we should make some calculations."

Tian Yu had no choice but to see that Gongsun Zan had made up his mind, so he had to give him some advice.

After a whole day of discussion, Gongsun Zan decided to send 100,000 troops to Jizhou, and conquered the four counties of Zhongshan, Hejian, Bohai and Anping. The 100,000 troops were divided into three groups. One was commanded by Gongsun Yue and 20,000 troops to capture Zhongshan County, the other was commanded by Gongsun Fan and 20,000 troops to capture Bohai County, while Gongsun Zan personally led 60,000 troops to the Liaohe River, straight to Hejian County, and then to Anping County.
