Chapter 449: Yuan Shu's death

At the foot of the mountain, Yuan Shu was alone under a pine tree, and he had not been asleep all night. He stayed under the tree and kept thinking. When the morning light was faintly dewed, Yuan Shu thought he had found the reason for his failure, which was to be the emperor. Since he became emperor, the situation has taken a sharp turn and fell into the field of today, which is worse than ordinary people.

This time, Yuan Shu came to surrender to Chen Lan and Lei Bu, but he didn't expect that he would not be welcomed at all. In the past two days, even worse news came. Ji Ling and Zhang Kai, who were sent out by Yuan Shu to find food, led thousands of subordinates to surrender directly to Cao Cao.

The cruel reality tells Yuan Shu that it is time to give up this throne. But Yuan Shu is not willing to do anything. Even if he can't continue to be the emperor, he can pass this position to others. The most suitable candidate is naturally his brother Yuan Shao.

Nowadays, Yuan Shao is in You, Qing, Ji and the four states, and no one can surpass his strength. He is also from the Yuan family. It is legitimate to replace Yuan Shu and continue to be this emperor.

After Yuan Shu returned to the house, he woke up his personal guard to polish ink for him, spread bamboo paper on the desk, and wrote: "Lu has been away from the Han Dynasty for a long time, and the world has been lifted up, and the government is at home. He is competing for heroes and division of territory. This is no different from the seven countries on weekends, but only the strong are the ones. Yuan was ordered to be the king, and Fu Rui Bingran. Now you have four states and millions of households. If you are strong, you will not compete for great things. If you are strong, you will be incomparable to the position. Although Cao Cao wants to support the decline and reward the poor, how can he continue his fortune? He has already died! I am willing to return to his great destiny and you will be prosperous."

Yuan Shu’s meaning is very clear. I can’t do it now, but the Yuan family’s will be the emperor, so you are named Yuan Shao. Please come to the Yuan family to flourish and take this emperor as a good emperor.

After Yuan Shu finished writing, he let out a heavy breath of turbid air. After this decision, he felt much more relaxed. Once Yuan Shao accepted the throne, he would definitely accept himself. Not to mention that he could regain his strength, at least he could live a life of luxury.

At this moment, Yuan Shu no longer had his past ambitions. Being able to live a stable and prosperous life is his greatest wish now.

Yuan Yin, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others had no objection to Yuan Shu's decision. At the beginning, they did not support Yuan Shu as the so-called emperor of Zhong. At present, Yuan Shu was in trouble and out of the righteousness of a minister, they were not willing to leave it alone, even though they also had the idea of ​​devoting others.

Yuan Shu sent his confidants to go north quickly to Jizhou to deliver letters, and he led the remaining troops and his family slowly to the north.

After Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's letter, he was very happy at the beginning. What he was happy about was not that he could be the emperor, but that Yuan Shu finally gave in and gave in. Yuan Shu often mentioned that Yuan Shao was a concubine and he was a legitimate child. This statement made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied and always felt that he had lowered him in the Yuan family. Yuan Shu's letter clearly stated that he was not as good as his brother.

When Yuan Shao took Yuan Shu's letter to discuss with Tian Feng, Feng Ji, Ju Su and others, everyone thought that this was Yuan Shu's plan to blame him and that his emperor could not be regarded as the one, so he put the bad hat on his brother. What's the truth about this? Besides, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still there and his appeal is still there, and Yuan Shu's emperor Zhong has never been recognized by the world, and even if he gets it, he can't call on the world.

In fact, Yuan Shao was still quite moved. The emperor's throne was something hidden deepest in his heart. But after hearing everyone's opinions, he felt it made sense, so he gave up this idea.

After all, brothers are brothers, and their blood is thicker than water. Although Yuan Shu has always despised Yuan Shao, now that Yuan Shu is in ruins and may still be in danger of his life. Yuan Shao couldn't bear to see his life so miserable, so he asked his eldest son, Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou, to pick up Yuan Shu.

Yuan Tan immediately set off after receiving the order, but was blocked by Liu Bei's men. It turned out that Cao Cao knew Yuan Shu's whereabouts through the "Ghost" organization and judged that he might have to go north to Jizhou and surrender to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was also likely to send people to respond south, so he issued an edict in the name of the court to ask Liu Bei to send troops to intercept the northern part of Xuzhou.

Yuan Tan was unable to pass, and he was unwilling to turn against Liu Bei over this matter. Anyway, he had no good feelings for his uncle, so he went home.

Yuan Shu was waiting for Yuan Shao's news while walking north slowly. The group was slow to wait and finally arrived at Jiangting. It was June. The weather was so hot that Yuan Shu wanted to find a clean house to rest. He searched around and found only a dilapidated farmhouse, cleaned it up, and put straw mats on the ground to let Yuan Shu rest.

Yuan Shu was hungry and asked her to eat left and right. Yang Hong and others searched everywhere, but said with a bitter face: "There are only 30 hu of wheat chops left in the army, where is there rice?" Yuan Shu didn't believe it, so he sent someone to find it, and the same was true for the reward.

Yuan Shu was used to being a luxury life, and never ate wheat shavings. He glared at him and shouted: "Then go to the farmhouses to find some chicken, duck, fish and meat. I want to eat it! I want to eat it!"

The guard retreated. Yuan Shu sat on the straw mat for a long time, and his stomach began to roar. There was no food yet. He was about to get angry, but Yang Hong came to report, "Lord, the guard ran away privately."

Yuan Shu was filled with helplessness in his anger. He wanted to catch the man and tear the body, but at this moment he was powerless. The sun was dazzling outside the house and the white patches were covered in white. Seeing that Yang Hong and others were sweating profusely, Yuan Shu saw that Yang Hong and others were sweating profusely. He sat in the house for a long time, and the heat could not be eliminated. So he said to Yang Hong: "Mr. Yang, the weather is so hot, I want to drink a bowl of honey slurry, go find some."

Yang Hong was already quite old, and his long journey made him lose weight. When he heard Yuan Shu's words, although he didn't want to go, he still stood up tremblingly and arranged for his subordinates to look for honey.

After a while, Yang Hong came in with a thick porcelain bowl and said to Yuan Shu: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and they have not even found honey. I have only found this bowl of clear water. You should drink it first to quench your thirst."

Yuan Shu took the thick porcelain bowl and saw that there was no clear water in the bowl, it was clearly chaotic turbid water. He couldn't drink it, so he put the bowl on the ground and began to sigh.

Yuan Shu sighed for a long time, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Why is Yuan Shu like this?" Then he fainted to the ground, with a few traces of blood hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Everyone panicked and hurriedly helped Yuan Shu up and patted him on the forehead with cold water. After Yuan Shu woke up, he began to vomit blood continuously, and finally vomited blood and died.

Yuan Shu, a hero of a generation, was born into a wealthy family of four generations and three dukes. In the end, he died in a dilapidated farmhouse. When he died, he was wearing a shabby dragon robe and had no grain in his belly. Even his minimum requirement - drinking a bowl of honey slurry, could not be satisfied.

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
