(Thank you brothers for the reward. Currently, I am second in the classification list. Although I am far behind the first place, Yanzi cannot give up. Please help me. Where are the recommendation votes? Where can I click?)
Yuan Fang¡¯s arrival surprised Liu¡¯s mother and son.
"Mother, what does this bitch Yuan Fang do to come to me?" Yuan Shangqi asked.
Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment, then waved her hands and said, "Just go and see him."
Yuan Shang did not dare to disobey his mother, so he backed away and returned to his own courtyard.
In the lobby, Yuan Fangzheng stood with his hands behind his hands, looking around at the layout of the hall.
It is gorgeous and exquisite, showing nobility in every aspect. Compared with the old side room where I live, I don¡¯t know how many times it is better.
Footsteps sounded, and when he turned around, Yuan Shang had already entered the hall, with a friendly smile on his face.
"I didn't know that second brother would come back suddenly. I hope you can forgive me for keeping him waiting for so long." Yuan Shang apologized with his hands in hand. His attitude was much more enthusiastic than that of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.
But Yuan Fang could see that Yuan Shang was just smiling, but he was very good at hiding it and didn't show it off like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.
"No, it's me who disturbed the fourth brother." Yuan Fang said politely.
The two of them sat down separately. Yuan Shang asked curiously: "Why did my second brother suddenly come back to Yecheng when he was not in Qinghe to lead the army to attack Qingzhou? Could it be just to visit my foolish brother?"
Yuan Fang said calmly: "When I came back this time, I came specifically to help you, fourth brother."
"help me?"
Yuan Shang was startled for a moment, and then a disapproving sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
That sneer seemed to be saying: You, Yuan Fang, can't protect yourself now, so what qualifications do you have to say that you want to help me.
"I'm sorry that I don't understand what second brother means." Yuan Shang said disapprovingly.
"Yuan Xi asked his father to recruit generals, and he already has over 10,000 soldiers and horses. If he takes Bingzhou before me, and then forms a marriage alliance with the richest man in Jizhou, the power of him and his eldest brother will be greatly increased. By then, I am afraid that the unlucky ones will be Not only me, but also you, fourth brother, I am here to help you just for this matter."
Yuan Shang's expression suddenly changed, and he was obviously hit hard by Yuan Fang's straightforward words.
"After a moment of delay, he chuckled: "The eldest brother and the third brother are both our brothers. It's a good thing that the third brother can win Bingzhou. It's not too late for me to be happy. What's so bad about it?"
"Hmph, this Yuan Shang's city is much deeper than those two"
Yuan Fang's thoughts changed, and he suddenly felt a bit regretful, sighing: "I originally wanted to help my fourth brother, but since my fourth brother is so optimistic, I have nothing to say, so I'll take my leave."
With that said, Yuan Fang stood up and left without looking back.
Yuan Shang frowned. Seeing Yuan Fang about to walk out of the door, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Second brother, please stay."
Yuan Fang stood with his back turned, one foot about to step out of the threshold, a sly smile quietly flashed across his handsome face.
He knew that Yuan Shang would not let him leave easily.
This time he came to see Yuan Shang. Yuan Fang was seeking his help, but Yuan Fang also knew very well that Yuan Shang secretly looked down on him. Even if he came to seek help, he must not act like he was "begging", otherwise he would fall into passivity. .
Pretending to be "helping" Yuan Shang, turning passivity into initiative, this is the brilliance of Yuan Fang's strategy.
After Yuan Shang persuaded him, Yuan Fang sat back down again and said calmly: "Fourth brother, is there anything else? I have to rush to the front line."
Yuan Shang moved closer and lowered his voice: "Actually, I don't have any prejudice against the eldest brother and the others, but the second brother just said that he wanted to help me, and I am very interested in hearing it. How can you help?"
"It's very simple. I want you to find a way to persuade my father, give me more steps, and help me defeat Liu Bei and surpass Yuan Xi. Helping me is equivalent to helping yourself."
Yuan Shang is a sensible person, and Yuan Fang doesn't talk nonsense to him and directly points it out.
"Well" Yuan Shang pointed his finger on his forehead and fell into thinking for a while.
But Yuan Fang was not in a hurry and continued to drink tea slowly, leaving Yuan Shang enough time to think.
He believed that Yuan Shang was a smart man and would figure out the stakes.
After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shangxiao asked: "But I don't know how many troops do you want to add, second brother?"
"Five thousand elite infantry and five hundred cavalry." Yuan Fang was also unambiguous and opened his mouth.
Not long after Yuan Fang settled in Jizhou, his main force was only 40,000 at most, and 5,000 elite soldiers was definitely not a small number.
As for the cavalry, the total number of cavalry under Yuan Shao¡¯s command did not exceed 2,000. As soon as Yuan Fang opened his mouth, heFive hundred cavalry are trying to cut Yuan Shao's flesh.
However, Yuan Fang also knew that bargaining was inevitable, so he simply offered a bigger price first.
When Yuan Shang heard this, he laughed dryly and said: "Second brother has a really big appetite. Do you think my father will agree?"
"Then this is your business, fourth brother. The infantry can be reduced appropriately. The cavalry must have this number."
Yuan Fang only made a slight concession, but his attitude remained resolute. His momentum seemed to be a reversal of host and object, as if Yuan Shangyou was seeking for himself.
Yuan Shang frowned deeply and fell into deep thought again.
"Fourth brother, please pay more attention to the matter of soldiers and horses. You must do it as soon as possible. The enemy will not give you time to think."
Yuan Fang had already finished what he was supposed to say, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he left immediately.
Yuan Shang sent Yuan Fang to the door and watched Yuan Fang leave with a smile. When Yuan Fang disappeared, his smiling face turned as dark as iron in the blink of an eye.
"This bitch, I didn't expect that he has been hiding it for so many years. He just came to beg me, but he made it seem like I was begging you, hum!"
Yuan Shang snorted coldly, turned around and went back to the room in displeasure.
At this time, Mrs. Liu had moved out of the back hall.
When Yuan Shang was about to explain what had just happened in the conversation, Liu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say anything anymore. I heard it clearly just now from behind."
"Then mother thinks, should we agree to that bitch's request?" Yuan Shang didn't dare to make his own decisions.
Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This bitch has become smarter and knows how to lend us a hand to deal with Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. But what he said is reasonable. We can't just sit back and watch Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's power. Let¡¯s do this favor for him.¡±
Yuan Shang nodded, but worried: "But if we help that bitch, although we suppress Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, but allow the bitch to become powerful, will it be detrimental to us?"
Mrs. Liu sneered and said disdainfully: "No matter how powerful that bastard is, he is still just a lowly illegitimate son. He has no right to inherit your father's family business at all. In the future, everything he conquers will be returned to his family." you."
Yuan Shang suddenly realized that all his worries disappeared, and he smiled proudly and said: "What mother said makes sense. The boy immediately sent someone to send instructions to Fengyuantu and the others, instructing them to speak to their father."
Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction.
In the Yuan Mansion, while the Liu family, mother and son, were still calculating, Yuan Fang had calmly left the Yuan Mansion.
In fact, Yuan Fang did not want to stay in this place that was full of contempt for him.
After leaving the mansion gate, Yuan Gui and others had been waiting for a long time. Yuan Fang did not stay much, got on his horse and went directly out of the city.
After Fang left the city gate, Yuan Gui asked impatiently, and Yuan Shangke agreed to help.
"Yuan Shang did not agree in person, but there is no need to worry. He and his deceitful mothers are smart people and will definitely act according to my instructions."
Yuan Fang was extremely confident, but he smiled secretly in his heart: "Liu and Yuan Shang must have thought that by adding more troops to me and increasing my power, all the territory I conquered would belong to them in the future. But you didn't expect that I, Yuan Fang, had already decided to stand on my own. "Xin, I'm just taking advantage of your strength to open up a new world for myself."
In a happy mood, Yuan Fang whipped his horse and whip and headed straight for Qinghe River.
