The game starts with Cao Cao as the main character, and the beauty sheds countless tears.

Chapter 339 Yuan Camp in Divide? Guo Jia: Grant Me the Title of Marquis of Tomb Raider?

"water……"

"Give me water..."

Yuan Shao opened his eyes with difficulty.

The faces presented to him included Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, Guo Tu, and others.

There is also a picture of a boy who looks about 60% like Ju Shou, but looks much younger than Ju Shou.

"I am Juhu, and I pay my respects to my lord."

Ju Hu was the eldest son of Ju Shou, and was sixteen years old at the time.

"you you you……"

Yuan Shao was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he almost thought that Ju Shou had been resurrected.

This fright caused the arrow wound on his shoulder to reopen instantly.

Everyone was shocked and immediately called for a doctor to come and treat the patient.

It took quite a while to finally stop Yuan Shao's bleeding.

At this moment, Yuan Shao finally came to his senses and learned the whole story from the crowd.

He is currently in Liyang, on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The person in charge of sending people from Ye City to the front line at Guandu was Ju Shou's eldest son, Ju Hu.

After transporting the grain, Ju Hu led his troops to garrison in Liyang, awaiting Ju Shou's "return north".

According to Ju Shou's script.

By the time they returned north, Yuan Shao was probably already dead.

Ju Shou, on the other hand, is about to support Yuan Shang to succeed to the throne and become the true ruler of Hebei!

I had planned everything, but I never expected this.

The person who ultimately succeeded in returning north was not Ju Shou, but Yuan Shao!

Ju Hu, by a twist of fate, also led his troops to support Yuan Shao, rescuing Yuan Shao and some of the remnants of Yuan's army.

Even though Yuan Shao was rescued.

Of the Yuan army that went to Guandu, only one in ten returned.

Of the remaining 90%, most died in battle or became prisoners of Cao Cao's army.

To put it simply, from this day forward, Cao Cao's power will officially surpass Yuan Shao's, making him the undisputed number one warlord in the land.

Yuan Shao, despite his best efforts to eliminate Ju Shou, ended up with nothing but an empty shell.

For a while.

Yuan Shao could not accept the huge psychological gap and fell ill.

However, a new round of struggle also broke out within Yuan's camp.

First, Cui Yan, Wang Ling, and Feng Ji were filled with hostility towards Ju Hu.

The three of them really wanted to curse, "Ju Shou, why are you so persistent?"

Even though you're already dead, why does your son still want to come out and inherit your original position?

We've endured so much under your rule, we can't keep putting up with your son, can we?

Therefore, the division of the powerful families in Ji Province was inevitable.

Secondly, Yuan Shao's health deteriorated.

The struggle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang was almost out in the open.

The two men frantically rallied supporters within Yuan's camp.

This includes relatives and elders such as Yuan Xi, Gao Gan, and Chunyu Qiong.

From centurions to deputies, they were all targets for the two men to win over.

Ju Hu, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Cui Yan, and others openly chose to support Yuan Shang.

However, there was also conflict among these four people.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were naturally on Yuan Tan's side.

Chunyu Qiong, under the instructions of Yuan Shao, also leaned towards Yuan Tan's camp.

The remaining ones are currently in a state of flux.

But as time went on, no one within Yuan's camp could remain uninvolved in this struggle for succession.

……

Let's go back to the day Yuan Shao was defeated and fled.

Guo Jia slipped back to Cao Cao's camp and obtained the wine he had been longing for from Su Yu.

"Oh my god, Ziyi, this undercover job is so tiring!"

"If I hadn't run fast, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

Guo Jia poured out his grievances.

Only those who have gone undercover can truly understand how lucrative the tomb raiding profession is.

Guo Jia decided that he would definitely try to excavate the Ju family ancestral tomb again next time he had the chance!

"Fengxiao, you've really worked hard this time."

"But there's something I need to tell you."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Guo Jia immediately perked up his ears.

"Ziyi, something that makes you so serious must not be an easy task, right?"

Su Yu sighed:

"For others, this may be a good thing."

"But for you, that's a bad thing!"

"After discussion, the elders of the Guo clan in Yingchuan want to make you the adopted son of the late clan chief."

"Are those old fogies crazy?"

Guo Jia jumped up instantly, not even having time to swallow the wine.

You can't blame Guo Jia for getting impatient.

That's really... such an immoral thing to do.

Although the Guo family of Yingchuan could not compare to a prestigious family like the Xun family.

But no matter how you look at it, the Guo family of Yingchuan is a second-rate family in this era, and their ancestors produced several outstanding figures.

For example, Guo Kai, the God of War of the Qin Dynasty, was a talent from the Guo family of Yingchuan.

Strictly speaking, the current head of the Guo family in Yingchuan has not yet been decided.

After the death of the previous head of the family, Guo Tu's father, Guo Tu should have inherited the position of head of the family according to the legal order.

However, considering that Guo Tu had surrendered to Yuan Shao and that Yuan Shao's territory was not in Yuzhou, the clan elders removed Guo Tu from his position as head of the clan.

Guo Jia was a distant relative of the Guo clan of Yingchuan.

Logically speaking, there's no way he should be the one to inherit the position of family head.

However, the elders of the Guo clan in Yingchuan were all snobbish.

Seeing that Guo Jia was doing well in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao's camp was thriving.

The Xun family, which had close ties with the Guo family and had become Cao Cao's in-laws, wanted to make Guo Jia the new head of the Yingchuan Guo clan.

Seeing Guo Jia's anger, Su Yu, unusually, did not laugh at him.

For Guo Jia, who was used to being alone, the sudden addition of the burden of family was something he was naturally unwilling to accept.

Su Yu then said seductively:

"Fengxiao, the way to break this deadlock is also very simple."

"Just create a separate family tree!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea.

However, creating a separate family genealogy usually requires the granting of a noble title.

What kind of noble title could Guo Jia be given?

Marquis of Tomb Raiders?

……

Back to Guandu City

Cao Cao dispatched his generals to accept the surrendered soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that Tian Feng, along with the prison cart, became a prisoner of Cao Cao's camp.

However, Cao Cao planned to deal with Tian Feng's matter after returning to Xuchang.

Isn't there a reform camp in Xuchang?

It's called the Minister's Residence!

Even the most lively person will become emo there.

A man as eloquent as Tian Feng is best suited to be sent to the Ministry of Personnel to be reformed by the experienced Master Xun.

As for Zhang He and Gao Lan, Cao Cao personally met with them.

Gao Lan was not reserved and appeared very generous and easygoing.

Unfortunately, the act was too obvious.

To put it simply, he's a very cunning person who pretends to be honest and simple.

Cao Cao couldn't help but give him a low score in his heart.

This is also one of Cao Cao's characteristics.

Other people's heroes are so good!

A fierce general from another side who refuses to surrender is even more desirable!

A general who surrenders without hesitation from other teams... well, I'd give him a low score.

Cao Cao had a plan in mind. He intended to give Gao Lan a symbolic official title and a noble rank upon returning, but to treat him as a second-line general.

They arrived at Zhang He's place.

In stark contrast to Gao Lan, Zhang He appeared very reserved.

However, given Gao Lan's example, Cao Cao's expectations for Zhang He also decreased significantly.

He was not comfortable entrusting such a military general with important responsibilities.

Just as Cao Cao was about to use the analogy of "Han Xin returning to Han" to describe Zhang He.

Su Yu whispered in his ear:

"My lord, Zhang He is a truly versatile talent."

"You should quickly raise your arms and shout, displaying your domineering aura to subdue Zhang He!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao instantly understood Su Yu's subtext.

Cao Cao had great trust in Su Yu's judgment.

He immediately helped Zhang He up, using the analogy of "Li Guang's difficulty in being ennobled" to describe Zhang He's situation under Yuan Shao, and comparing Zhang He to Wei Qing in his lifetime.

Regardless of whether Zhang He has the same abilities as Wei Qing.

Using Wei Qing to describe Zhang He and using Han Xin to describe Zhang He are two completely different concepts.

In an instant, the gloom in Zhang He's heart dissipated.

He understood that it was Su Yu's words that made Cao Cao change his mind.

Su Yu's admiration for Zhang He went beyond mere appreciation.

Furthermore, Zhang He was indeed a loyal subject of Cao Wei.

His sense of belonging to Yuan Ying was complicated.

But he absolutely devoted all his energy to Cao Wei.
