    Late at night, in Yuan Tan's mansion in Jizhou City.

    Yuan Tan sat quietly in the middle hall alone. He was wrapped in a thick brocade robe. He held the wine glass in both hands and sipped the wine in the glass with his head lowered. He looked thoughtful and hesitant.  Determined.

    "Eldest Young Master, no, something big has happened!" The door of the middle hall was pushed open violently, and Guo Tu, Xin Ping, and Xin Pi walked in sweating profusely: "Eldest Young Master, this time it really happened.  It¡¯s a big deal!¡±

    Yuan Tan placed the white porcelain cup in his hand on the table in front of him, with a confused look in his eyes, and said in a neutral tone: "If it wasn't a big deal, my father wouldn't have summoned everyone so late to discuss the matter.  All three of you, please take a seat, take a breath first, and taste the fine wines I have in my cellar. If you have anything to do, we can wait."

    "What time has it been? The eldest son is still in the mood to sit here and drink." Guo Tu stamped his feet anxiously, "Wait? If we wait any longer, the knives of the second and third masters will be placed on our necks.  The eldest son must make a decision early!"

    Yuan Tan sighed lowly, did not answer Guo Tu's words, took a sip of the drink in the cup, and asked: "Have you seen my father? How is his health? He has recovered greatly.  What?"

    "We have not met the lord." Xinpi said solemnly, "This time, the second and third young masters used the lord's name to invite us to see you. The purpose is simply to find out what we say and see the eldest son.  Are you prepared?" Xinpi pondered for a moment and then said: "Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid that the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master are going to attack you tonight!"

    "Oh, why bother? Think about it, over the years, Xianyi and Xianfu, I have been fighting each other endlessly for the position of legitimate son. What benefits have we gained from it? If brothers are at odds, they will only become the laughing stock of outsiders.  ." Yuan Tan poured himself another glass of wine as he spoke, and said with some disappointment: "A few days ago, I fell out with the two of them in front of my father. At that time, I was thinking about leading the troops to leave Jizhou and go back to Qingzhou.  It¡¯s better than staying here and not even being able to sleep well.¡±

    "The eldest son cannot sleep well, and the second and third sons cannot sleep well!" Xin Ping snorted, "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?"

    Guo Tu nodded repeatedly and said: "What Zhongzhi said is very reasonable. At this moment, the eldest son must not leave Jizhou. You are the eldest son of the lord and the natural heir. How can you just leave and destroy the land of these two states?"  What about giving it away to others?"

    "Of course I understand this." Yuan Tan stared at the wine in the glass, "Maybe I am too weak. Now that my father is ill in bed, and there is no clear edict, if I treat Xianyi and Xianfu at this time  Wouldn't it be contrary to nature and human ethics to take action? Even if I step on the bones of these two people and ascend to the position of lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to scare my father's old troops and the soldiers and civilians of the two states."

    "Since ancient times, it has been said that 'the elders are established, not the young', and 'the descendants are passed down, not the concubines'. The eldest son's accession to the throne is royal and legitimate. How can the lord's old tribe and the soldiers and civilians of the two states have any objections?" Xin Bizhi  Looking into Yuan Tan's eyes, his eyes were bright and he said, "On the contrary, the second and third young masters, the reason why they want to usurp the rebellion is precisely because of the eight words of orthodoxy and justice. The eldest son, in history, brothers are at war with each other.  There are many situations where blood is spilled in the fight for power. If you want to hold the reins of the world, even your brothers will not care. Nowadays, victory or defeat only depends on the eldest son¡¯s thoughts. If you win, you will be rich all over the world, if you lose, you will have no bones.  Cun, please make a decision quickly, eldest son!"

    "Zhi Zhi's words deeply touched my heart." Xin Ping praised, "Eldest son, if Duke Huan of Qi didn't force the Lu people to kill Young Master Jiu, how could he have united the nine princes, brought the world under one roof, and established the Five Hegemons?"

    Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the wine spilled on the front of his clothes.  He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then pressed his forehead and said: "If Xianyi and Xianfu are really going to commit fratricide, then don't blame me, the eldest brother, for killing them regardless of brotherhood.  "Yuan Tan raised his head and looked at the three people standing in front of him, and said word by word: "But, I will never make the first move, absolutely not!"

    "Lord, I'm afraid you have to take action." Guo Tu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Listen!"

    Several people held their breath, and then heard the chaotic sound of horse hooves coming from far and near, rumbling loudly.

    It was already very cold in Jizhou late at night, but Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were unaware of it.  Outside Yuan Tan's mansion, hundreds of torches illuminated the night, and two groups of men and horses faced each other a hundred steps apart.  On the side of the visitor, Yuan's handsome flag was illuminated by torches and blown by the cold wind, and the light and dark were intertwined. In the shadow of the flag, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang stood astride their horses with their long swords crossed.

    The defensive formation opened a gap, and Yuan Tan slowly came out with his long sword and his horse.  The blue veins on his forehead popped out and beat constantly. He raised his sword and pointed at Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang under his banner. Yuan Tan shouted sternly: "Xianyi, Xianfu, youAre you planning to rebel by raising troops to surround my residence?  "

    "What did the elder brother say?" Yuan Shang said coldly, "Tonight, my father called everyone to discuss matters, but the elder brother did not come. My father was furious and ordered my second brother and I to invite the elder brother into the mansion to explain. Yuan Tan, you  This bastard, why don¡¯t you hurry up and get rid of everyone, and let me and my second brother go to plead guilty to my father?¡±

    "Yuan Shang, don't bring up your father to suppress me. I know you very well. I know very well what your intentions are." Yuan Tan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth bitterly.  "Since you don't care about brotherhood and brother's face today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

    "Brother said so, it seems that you and I must meet each other in battle." Yuan Shang's eyes twitched slightly, he raised his sword and shouted loudly: "The whole army attacks, I will capture them all. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

    Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he came here just to show off his power to Yuan Tan and kill him. He did not expect that there would be a real conflict. He lowered his voice and said to Yuan Shang: "Third brother, why don't we forget it.  , if you hurt your eldest brother, it¡¯s not a trivial matter!¡±

    "At this point, if you and I go back in despair, how can we keep our heads up and behave in Jizhou City in the future?" Yuan Shang glared at his second brother, raised his sword again, and shouted: "Kill!"

    Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, raised the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Kill!" The two of them led the horses together and killed them first. The cavalry behind them also drew their swords.  , like a flood that broke through a floodgate, rushing towards Yuan Tan's main formation.

    "Until now, I can't believe they really want to kill me." Yuan Tan's face twisted slightly. He raised his sword high and shouted: "Don't spare any of them, give them all to me."  kill!"
