The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 468 Princes Beg for Liu

After Yuan Shao received the news of the fall of Bohai, he immediately became furious.People outside the account just dare not come in, in fact Yuan Shao did not prevent these people from entering the account.

Therefore, the guards at the door did not stop him, allowing Xu You to enter.

As soon as he walked into the big tent, Xu You saw the mess everywhere, and Yuan Shao who was yelling at Liu Bei with grief and anger on his face.

The current Yuan Shao is indeed very angry, but if you want to say how sad it is, that's not necessarily the case.

The terrain of Bohai County is remote. Although it is a pity to lose it, it is not an unbearable pain.If Han Meng dies, he will die. He is incompetent, so he can't blame others.

Only the eldest son Yuan Tan was captured, this is what Yuan Shao really worried about.

Yuan Shao had nearly ten wives and concubines, and seven or eight sons, but only Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were from the royal family, and they were deeply loved by him.Besides, apart from Yuan Tan, the eldest son, the other two sons are still too young to take on great responsibilities.

And once Liu Bei uses his eldest son Yuan Tan as a bargaining chip to negotiate with him, how should he respond?

Promise, there will inevitably be losses.

If you don't agree, you're afraid of chilling the hearts of your subordinates.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling a little headache, and the hatred for Liu Bei grew stronger in his heart.

"Liu Xuande, you have the name of benevolence and righteousness, but you do such a nasty thing, I wish I could eat your flesh alive!"

Yuan Shao cursed again, but happened to see Xu You walking in.It's just that Yuan Shao is angry now, seeing that Xu You didn't take the initiative to speak up, he didn't greet Xu You either.

Seeing this, Xu You just shook his head and smiled, twirled his beard, and didn't care.

But his smile successfully aggravated Yuan Shao's anger.

I lost people and ground, and even my son was arrested, but you can still laugh!

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and said, "Ziyuan, you seem to be in a good mood today, if you have any happy events, you might as well tell them."

Of course Xu You could hear the yin and yang in Yuan Shao's words, but that's what he wanted.But what kind of attitude, in short, first attract Yuan Shao's attention.

Persuading people has to pay attention to methods and skills, and even to stimulate emotions, and Xu You has always claimed to be a master of this.

"It's not that I have a happy event, but that my lord has a happy event." Xu You cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Yuan Shao couldn't hold back at last, and reprimanded loudly: "Xu Ziyuan, my son was just captured, but you said there was a happy event, you are really deceiving!"

"My lord, why should you be angry? The happy event I mentioned is closely related to the eldest son." Xu You continued to say without changing his face, "The only thing my lord is worried about is that the eldest son is captured. I have a plan to protect the eldest son. Yu."

When Yuan Shao heard that it was related to his son, he successfully attracted his attention, and quickly asked, "Oh, what is Ziyuan's plan, why don't you tell me quickly."

Xu You didn't show off, and said directly: "My lord, just now the envoy from Yanzhou came to ask to see the lord."

"What does this have to do with my son's safety?" Yuan Shao asked puzzled.

"Of course it has something to do with it. My lord, sit down for a while, please listen to the next thing." Xu You said with a smile, "Have you ever heard that, my lord, Chu Qi chased Gaozu in the past, and Gaozu was anxious, and pushed Xiaohui and Lu Yuan to get off the car?" , Teng Gong often downloads and records such three."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

What Xu You said is actually a short story about Han Gaozu Liu Bang.

At that time, Liu Bang was chased by the Chu army and fled in a carriage, but his horsepower was limited. In order to increase his chances of escape, Liu Bang kicked his son Emperor Hui of Han and his daughter Princess Lu Yuan off the carriage, hoping to make the carriage run faster. faster.

However, the driver at the time was Xia Houying. Although this guy was loyal to Liu Bang, he couldn't bear the two children falling into the hands of the enemy, so he got out of the car and took the children back to the car.

Liu Bang was furious, and kicked the two children off again, and Xia Houying got out of the car to pick them up again.

This process was repeated several times, and finally Liu Bang couldn't stand Xia Houying anymore, and threatened that Xia Houying would kill Xia Houying if he dared to get out of the car to pick up the child.

But Xia Houying still insisted on his own opinion, and finally saved the two children.

Naturally, Yuan Shao had heard this allusion, and what he was puzzled about was why Xu You would tell this allusion at this time.

Xu You smiled and said, "Master, as a father, Gaozu doesn't love Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan."

Ha ha……

Just like Liu Bang, you say he loves his children, who would believe it!

After all, Liu Bang's deeds are familiar to everyone.He doesn't even care about his own father, and it's not surprising that he can abandon his wife and children.

Although Yuan Shao really wanted to answer this way, it was obviously inappropriate.

"Gao Zu is heroic and mighty, so naturally he will not love his children."

Yuan Shao replied, honestly started his own flattery.

Xu You continued to laugh and said, "But at this critical moment, why did Gaozu still push the two children out of the car?"

"This……"

Yuan Shao was speechless for a while.

Xu Ziyuan, you are asking me this kind of question, are you deliberately finding fault?

Xu You did not stop Yuan Shao from coming to Taiwan, but directly gave the answer: "Because Gaozu understood that the target of the Chu army is himself, and the only person who can compete with Xiang Ji is himself.

Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan were chased by the Chu army only because of themselves.As long as he is still alive, even if the two children fall into the enemy's hands, they will not receive any harm, because they are important bargaining chips.

But if he died, even if the two children survived by chance, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Chu army.Therefore, Gaozu pushed the children out of the car to protect their lives. "

Yuan Shao is not a fool, he immediately understood the meaning of Xu You's allusion.

"Ziyuan, what do you mean, my son is at Liu Bei's place, and his life is not in danger?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Of course."

Yuan Shao asked again: "But if Liu Bei uses my son as a bargaining chip to make someone cede land and pay compensation, how should we deal with it?"

"Just perfunctory, anyway, the Eldest Young Master will not be in danger of life, the truth has just been explained below." Xu You said, "As long as the Lord is strong and strong, and the world respects him, the Eldest Young Master will never be in danger."

What Xu You said made a lot of sense, at least it sounded like this.

As for how a certain Lin Jianjun who doesn't talk about martial arts will use this bargaining chip, that's another matter.

After hearing Xu You's words, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and said, "Listening to Ziyuan's words is like seeing the sun through the clouds!"

Yuan Shao is not happy that his son is safe and will not be a condition to threaten him.

No matter how things will develop next, at least Xu You's rhetoric has had the effect it should have.

Hearing Yuan Shao's praise, Xu You, who was always arrogant, turned pale. He twirled his beard again, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My lord, because I was too sad just now, I couldn't see clearly the pros and cons for a while. This is not a meritorious service."

Yuan Shao continued to ask: "Ziyuan, tell me, what should we do next? What's so important about Yanzhou's envoy?"

"My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Xu You continued, "The war in the Bohai Sea has become a stalemate. The front-line scouts reported that Xuzhou dispatched [-] troops this time, and the leading general was Zhao Zilong. According to what I have said You know, this person is thoughtful, and even more courageous than others.

Now that the Bohai Sea has been lost, we have lost the opportunity. No matter how brave General Yan is, he may not be able to win. "

As soon as he talked about the war in Bohai, the anger in Yuan Shao's eyes welled up again, and he said angrily: "Could it be that Bohai County is just surrendered like this? Liu Bei is really too hateful!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao had the tendency to go berserk again, Xu You hurriedly persuaded him again: "My lord, calm down, the current situation is like this, and it is useless to say anything else. For the current plan, if you want to break the situation, you can only start from other aspects."

"Other aspects?" Yuan Shao asked doubtfully.

Xu You nodded and said: "That's right, now that the war is stalemate, we can only start to attract foreign aid. With the prestige of the Lord and the reputation of the Yuan family, it is the best policy to attract the princes inside and outside Yanzhou to attack Liu Bei together.

At the end of last year, Liu Gongshan, the governor of Yanzhou, was captured by Liu Bei. Now Yanzhou should be leaderless.But the sudden arrival of Chen Gongtai, a famous scholar in Dongjun County, can only show that Yanzhou has changed.My lord might as well meet him, and it would be best to win him over.Furthermore, the prefect of Hanoi and the prefect of Guangling all follow the lead of the lord.It can be promised to make great profits, so that they can attack Liu Bei together, and they will surely win! "

Yuan Shao didn't agree with Xu You's opinion, he shook his head and said, "Although Liu Bei is despicable and shameless, he has a lot of fierce generals under his command. He is still not on his feet right now. If he rashly sends troops, his chances of victory may not be great."

"My lord, last year I was fighting against Dong Bandit. Liu Bei has an army of nearly [-] people, and they always charge forward. Xuzhou is not rich, how can it withstand Liu Bei's tossing like this?
As expected, although Xuzhou has soldiers and horses at this time, it has no food and grass.Otherwise, Zhao Zilong would not have brought only [-] troops when he raided Bohai this time. "

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and said: "Yes, Ziyuan, you are right! If there is no food and pay, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will be useless! This is a golden opportunity from God, and we must not let it go.

Let's go, let's go to see the envoy of Yanzhou, and make an appointment with him to attack Liu Bei together! "

At this time, Yuan Shao regained his confidence after Xu You analyzed the situation.

He even imagined that he would summon him to ask the princes to ask for Dong again.

It's just that the target of the fire this time has changed from Dong Zhuo to Liu Bei.

And Chen Gong, the envoy of Yanzhou, was sitting in the hall at the moment, chatting happily with Yuan Shao's nephew, Gao Gan, thinking about how to get Yuan Shao's support in the future.

Since he and Cheng Yu persuaded Cao Cao to occupy Yanzhou, new problems came one after another.

There are two main issues,
First, Yanzhou, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, is naturally a piece of fat, how to occupy it?

On this point, it is not difficult to solve.

Since the death of Liu Dai and Qiao Mao, the forces in Yanzhou basically had no leader and were divided into several parts.The biggest force among them was Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, followed by Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang.

Needless to say, Bao Xin was the one who recommended Cheng Yu and Chen Gong to Cao Cao, and he himself was a die-hard fan of Cao Cao, so he expressed his support first.

What, Meng De, you want to be the shepherd of Yanzhou?

That's really good!
My lord, please accept my worship!
Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were also well-known in Yanzhou. They took the initiative to reach an agreement with the Yanzhou family on behalf of Cao Cao, which was considered to have established Cao Cao's status.

Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, naturally had no opinion on his lips, as for what he thought in his heart.

Cao Cao and others said that this is not important.

With the efforts of Bao Xin, Chen Gong, and Cheng Yu, Cao Cao took over half of Yanzhou in less than a month.

As for the rest, you can also slowly solicit.

Secondly, the second point is how to gain a firm foothold after taking over Yanzhou.

As the hinterland of the Central Plains, Yanzhou is naturally also the place of the Four Wars, not to mention the three most powerful princes at the moment, Liu Bei who occupies Xuzhou, Yuan Shao who occupies Jizhou, and Yuan Shu who occupies Yuzhou. Their territory just surrounds Yanzhou.

Is this a coincidence?
Chen Gong didn't think so, but sitting on the stove in the Fourth World War, if he didn't take action, let alone development, it would only be a matter of time before he was wiped out.

Therefore, according to the original plan, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu planned to hook up with one of the princes of the three parties as a back-up just after negotiating with the Yanzhou family.In this way, even if the other two parties attack, they may not be incapable of fighting.

Cao Cao is not stupid either. Last year, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, and the prefect of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, were killed by Liu Bei. He already knew the answer.

Could it be that he really didn't obey the emperor's order and wanted to rebel?
This excuse can only deceive a three-year-old child.

It wasn't because Lin Zichu saw that Liu Dai was not easy to control, so he took action to get rid of him, so that he could take over Yanzhou himself, or support another puppet.

Moreover, this time he was ordered by Lin Chao to persuade Bao Xin, but now he occupies Yanzhou, not only at a loss, but also harming Liu Bei's interests on a practical level.

Therefore, the possibility of forming an alliance with Liu Bei no longer exists.

Looking at Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, this guy didn't get along with Cao Cao when he was young in the capital, although a large part of it was because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao got close.

But it is undeniable that Yuan Shao, relying on his noble background, did a lot of things to ridicule Cao Cao.Furthermore, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu are still allies right now, so it is not so easy to get his support.

Despite this, Cao Cao still sent someone to meet Yuan Shu, ready to know the benefits.

As for whether it will be successful, Cao Cao did not report his hope.

But when it comes to fighting for hegemony in the world, interests always come first. If Yuan Shu can make a decision based on his emotions, it is enough to prove that he cannot achieve great things.

In this way, there is only one candidate for the last ally.

That's right, it is Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Not to mention the close personal relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, even the current situations of both sides have many similarities.

It is also just now in charge of a state, the same is not stable, and it also offended Liu Bei.

The difference is that Cao Cao betrayed Liu Bei a little bit, while Yuan Shao was directly rubbed by Liu Bei on the ground.

There is a saying that those who share desires hate each other, and those who share worries have a blind date.The two who share the same illness are naturally the best candidates for allies.

In this way, Xiangdong can resist Liu Bei, and Xiangnan can defend against Yuan Shu. This even has some shadows of the original Sun-Liu alliance in history, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is destined.

Therefore, Cao Cao sent Chen Gong, currently the number one adviser under his command, to go to Yecheng to see Yuan Shao in person, hoping to persuade him to form an alliance with him.

In the hall, after hearing Chen Gong's intention, Yuan Shao was shocked, but also immediately rejoiced.

Meng De's operation is good, and he actually picked Liu Bei's peaches!
One word, cool!

Two words, kind!

Three words, I like it!
Four words, well done!

Liu Xuande, you have today too!
Make an alliance, make an alliance now.A certain not only wants to form an alliance with Mengde, but also calls on the princes of the Central Plains to march eastward to Xuzhou together to challenge Liu Bei!

……

Mount Tai, Feng Gao.

At this time, Lin Chao left Zhuge Liang and others in Nancheng, and after empowering him to deal with the Taishan Yang family, he brought Tai Shici and Chen Deng all the way to Fenggao.

Speaking of Fenggao, Lin Chao had been here last year, so there was nothing unusual about it.

However, there is a place next to Fenggao County that Lin Chao has always wanted to visit, and that is Mount Tai!
To be precise, it is to retrace the road of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enshrining Zen.

In the first year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Che came here on a tour to the east, climbed Mount Tai and enshrined Zen, and then established a separate county here, and even changed it to the Taishan County Government.

This is the origin of Feng Gao.

But Lin Chao rarely had time to come out to relax this time, so he thought about paying his respects.

Of course... there is another small purpose.

At the beginning of April of the second year of Chuping.

At that time, the governor of Taiwei's mansion, Anxi Hou Linzi first came to Mount Tai.

During this trip, Lin Chao brought very few guards, and Tai Shici had less than ten people, and even Chen Deng, who followed all the way, was left behind in Fenggao.

And out of less than ten people, there were seven or eight people who had to bring them because of the need for this action.

Lin Chao was weak, and when he climbed halfway up the mountain, he was already panting from exhaustion, so he had to be supported by Tai Shici for the rest of the journey.

Even so, this is the result of his training in the battlefield from time to time over the past few years.

"Supervisor, it's better to stop and rest for a while."

On the mountain road, seeing Lin Chao strenuously walking, Tai Shici couldn't help persuading him.

Lin Chao shook his head, and continued to walk forward, with slow but firm steps.

Seeing that Lin Jianjun insisted on this, Tai Shici had no choice but to follow and support him all the way.

Behind the two, there are seven or eight elites from the school affairs office following.

However, these seven or eight people were not empty-handed, but carried a stone tablet and walked very hard on the mountain path.

After walking for a while, Lin Chao saw that the seven or eight people were sweating profusely, so he ordered to rest for a while.

After Tai Shici helped Lin Chao to sit down, he quickly handed over a pot of water.

After Lin Chao took it and drank a couple of sips, he saw Tai Shici look at the seven or eight people carrying the stele, and then said in a very low voice: "Supervisor, after the stele is buried, do you want these people to... "

As he spoke, Tai Shici made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chao frowned, and hastily scolded in a low voice: "Zi Yi, this is absolutely impossible!"

"But once the news leaks out, I'm afraid it will spoil your important affairs of the supervisor..."

Before Tai Shici finished speaking, Lin Chao waved his sleeves to stop him and said, "Ziyi, I understand your kindness. But these followers are all elites in the school affairs mansion, and they are also loyal to me, so why not?" Can do this murderous thing.

As for leaking the news... When you say that the world will believe them, or will they believe someone?
If the world believes in someone, even if they leak the news, no one will believe it.

If people in the world don't believe in someone, they don't need to reveal it, just some uninformed people can make up some rumors and do bad things, do you understand? "

"This..." Tai Shici cupped his fists and said, "Supervisor, this subordinate knows it's wrong."

Lin Chao smiled and patted Tai Shici on the shoulder, and said gently: "You are right, but the direction of thinking is wrong. Ziyi, please remember that some bottom lines must be followed. Because the bottom line is the bottom line, you cannot take a step back. You today If you retreat, you will retreat tomorrow, and it will be the same the day after tomorrow. If you do this, you will retreat countless times.

Furthermore, if one follows your words today and kills these people to silence them, it may not be possible to kill you to silence them in the future. "

Lin Chao's voice was very soft, and his words were full of comfort, but Tai Shici's heart tightened and his spine felt chills when he heard it.

"Supervisor, this subordinate really knows his mistake."

Tai Shici raised his head to look at Lin Chao, and said very seriously.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, I don't mean to blame you, I just hope you don't have such thoughts in the future." Lin Chao continued with a smile, "The superiors are most afraid of being lenient on the outside and tight on the inside, let alone today, even in the future. Ziyi, when you are in charge of an army alone, you should also remember this principle."

Tai Shici is good at everything, but sometimes he tends to overreact.

When he was in Qu county a month ago, Tian Feng wanted to take Mi Fang away, and Tai Shici also expressed his opposition.

His reason was that since Mi Fang had been offended, it would be better to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots, otherwise Mi Fang would feel resentful and might do something in the future.

But Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, and rejected Tai Shici's proposal on the spot.

What a joke, with my status as Lin Zichu today, there are so many people who want to kill me, why do I need to worry about a Mi Fang's revenge?

The superior should naturally have the breadth of mind of the superior, and should not be too vengeful.

Not to mention Mi Fang, even his elder brother Mi Zhu?

If he spared his life, he would absolutely be grateful, and he could only be grateful.

Because Lin Chao crushed him to death, it was no different from crushing an ant.

After saying these words, Lin Chao patted Tai Shici's shoulder to comfort him, then he got up and left, throwing the water bag in his hand to the seven or eight school officials who were carrying the stele.

"Drink more, it's still early to go up the mountain!" Lin Chao laughed at everyone.

Everyone hurriedly prepared to stand up and thank them, but Lin Chao waved his sleeves to stop them.On the other hand, Lin Chao himself walked beside them and sat on the ground with them.

"Everyone, this stele is extremely important. Don't break it when you lift it later. Moreover, today's matter is extremely confidential, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about it in the future. Do you understand?"

Lin Chao did not use an orderly tone, but instead expressed his request to everyone like a chatter.

"only!"

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists together, their faces full of determination.

Lin Chao chatted with everyone for a while, then got up and began to admire his masterpiece.

Speaking of the origin of this stone tablet, Lin Chao got the inspiration after seeing the huge tombstone in the village of Qu County.

Today, I will create a historical basis.

Thinking of the scene where the stele was unearthed in the future, Lin Chao couldn't help showing a smile, facing the bright sun at noon, just arrived to shine on the stele.

There are only eight big characters at the beginning of the stone tablet - ordered by the sky, life will last forever!

The only fly in the ointment is that although the writing on the stele is neat and beautiful, Lin Chao always feels that it lacks a little meaning.

Well, write a letter to urge Li Ru later, and ask him when he will send Zhong Yao, an old boy, by courier.

Li Wenyou, your efficiency is not good!

I just want a calligrapher to help me forge a stone tablet with a historical date. What's wrong with me?

If the words on it were handwritten by Zhong Yao himself...

Tsk tsk, it's a beautiful thing to think about!
　Well, it's still three o'clock!
