Chapter 385 Chen Gong Discusses Politics
Chen Gong walked and thought all the way, pondering Yuan Shao's possible reaction over and over again, and made a sufficient plan.

Zang Hong escaped, and half of his mission was completed.

The remaining half is how to get out.

As for whether Yuan Shao could be persuaded to stop the army, he had no hope at all, and it could even be said that the emperor had no hope either.

Otherwise, the imperial edict would not directly refer to Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai Sea.

If Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, of course he couldn't show weakness, and he had to die harder.Yuan Shao's momentum weakened, so he went down the donkey along the slope, and changed from the Ming government to the leader of the alliance.

As for explaining the situation in the Northwest to Yuan Shao, this was also planned.Not just to save lives, but also a tacit understanding.

This kind of tacit understanding is not for him alone, but for the entire Kanto people, even including some non-Kanto people.

For example, veteran officials like Shi Sun Rui and Zhao Wen.

The Son of Heaven established his capital in Anyi, but he stayed in Meiji and did not return, reused Bingliang warriors, and intentionally or unintentionally rejected the Kanto gentry, which made many people worried.

If the imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the gentry, then what is the point of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty?
The big man under Huan Ling's rule was not the big man they wanted.

This is a sentence that no one will say, but will think in the heart.

Yuan Shao held a banquet to welcome Chen Gong and Wang Ling, and Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others accompanied him.

Tian Feng and others didn't know that Jushou and Chen Gong played a joint play to deceive Yuan Shao. They only knew that Zang Hong abandoned the city and Dongwuyang returned to Yuan Shao's rule, so there was no need to waste manpower and material resources to attack the city.

They also showed great interest in Chen Gong.

Chen Gong joined forces with Zhang Miao to invite Lu Bu to Yanzhou, which interfered with Yuan Shao's plan.But from another perspective, they don't hate Chen Gong.

Firstly, the reason why Chen Gong opposed Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was unpopular by killing celebrities while giving way; secondly, now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had turned against each other, they were about to cross the river to take Yanzhou.Chen Gong opposed Cao Cao, so he could naturally become Yuan Shao's guest of honor, so as to show that Yanzhou's support was with Yuan.

At the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and had a great time.

It's just that both parties intentionally or unintentionally ignored Chen Gong's emissary status.

Chen Gong briefed Yuan Shao on his trip to the northwest.

Although he did not go out with the emperor, he had a close relationship with Lu Bu and heard a lot of valuable news.

First of all, the emperor did have only three thousand riders when he set off from Hedong, but he did not have three thousand riders when he fought the Xianbei and the Huns.In addition to the [-] elite cavalry from the Xiongnu royal court, there were Ma Teng and Han Sui who came from Liangzhou, with a total force of nearly [-].

Secondly, except for the Battle of Shaling Lake, where the right tribe of the Xiongnu was killed, most of the fine cavalry led by the emperor were to lure the enemy, and the task of defeating the opponent was actually completed by Ma Teng's troops.

As for the final battle outside Shuofang City, Fuluo Hanbu was a remnant defeated general who regrouped after the defeat. It seemed that they had a lot of troops, but they were actually vulnerable.Furthermore, Fu Luohan stood with his back facing Shuofang City, placing himself in a disadvantageous position of being attacked by enemies from both sides, which in itself violated the common sense of using troops.

Yuan Shao didn't really believe in the almost miraculous achievements of the emperor, but after hearing Chen Gong's explanation, he immediately felt relieved.

This is more or less the same, the Son of Heaven is just a boy who is just sixteen years old, how can he have such a brilliant talent for using soldiers.

But then, what Chen Gong said was not so happy.

The emperor stayed in Meiji and did not return to Hedong, but he could go east and enter Youzhou at any time.

Daijun and Shanggu in the west of Youzhou and Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong in the north of Bingzhou are geographically connected without any barriers.After defeating Xianbei and subduing the Xiongnu, the Son of Heaven possessed a large number of war horses, marched extremely fast, and entered Daijun and Shanggu eastward.

In other words, if Yuan Shao fails to respond in time, the Son of Heaven will control Daijun and Shanggu ahead of him, and may enter Zhuojun and Guangyang through Juyongsai, or enter Changshan and Zhongshan through Feihu Road at any time.

Speaking of this, Chen Gong reminded Yuan Shao that he met Zhao Yun from Changshan when he was crossing the river.

Yuan Shao had no impression of Zhao Yun, but he was very sensitive to the words Changshanren.

Jingxing, one of the Eight Xings of Taihang, is in Changshan, and the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan have always colluded with Gongsun Zan.If the Changshan people turned to the imperial court and united with Taiyuan County, the threat would be greater than Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, he lost the hearts of the people and could hardly do anything.

The Son of Heaven is a promising young man, and I don't know how many foolish men and women will regard the Son of Heaven as the hope of a great man's rejuvenation.

Chen Gong's reminder was very timely, and this matter must not be taken lightly.

Chen Gong then narrated some government affairs of the emperor in Meiji.

The most important thing here is the emperor's handling of Xianbei and the descendants of the Huns.

There is a severe shortage of household registration in Bingzhou, and all the counties added together have only [-] to [-] households, which is less than one county in Jizhou.The emperor moved the Xianbei and the descendants of the Huns to settle in Xihe, and tried to educate them, which was also a helpless way.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

It is by no means an easy task to educate barbarians who are accustomed to nomadic pastoralism into registered households.Without ten years, it is difficult to see results.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help smiling, and said in an almost frivolous tone: "Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has the ambition of Yao and Shun."

Ju Shou frowned slightly, and remained silent.

Tian Feng put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"My lord, the loss of a young man is urgent. The son of heaven is not yet weak, but he has long-term peace and stability, which should not be underestimated. Ten years is long and short. As in the day, the aftermath is still unsettled. Suppose ten years later, the Son of Heaven will succeed in his education, and lead a hundred thousand Xianbei and Xiongnu youths to go south, how will the lord respond?"

The smile on Yuan Shao's face immediately froze, and his face turned pale.

One hundred thousand fine riders going south, it is chilling to think about it.

But what Tian Feng said was by no means groundless.

In this war, the Son of Heaven took in more than [-] Xianbei people, plus the Huns who had originally settled in the Great Wall, even if there were less than [-] households, the shortage was limited.If some Xianbei people from the grasslands are lured into the fortress in the next few years, there will only be a lot more than [-] households.

Ten years of lessons, now only ten-year-old Xianbei and Xiongnu teenagers grow up, and one hundred thousand elite riders are not empty words.

If you add people from Xiliang...

In an instant, Yuan Shao felt that the delicious food and wine on the table were tasteless.

"Foretelling is standing, not forewarning is useless, why did you teach me?" Yuan Shao raised his head, forced a smile, and looked at the crowd.

Tian Feng handed over. "I believe that it is the best policy for the lord to enter the court and take charge of the government."

Shen Pei and Ju Shou nodded in unison.

What Tian Feng said is indeed a good idea.When Yuan Shao entered the court, he had the assistance of Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and other veterans inside, and the support of the world's gentry outside, so it was not difficult to monopolize power.In this way, no matter what tricks the emperor has, he cannot threaten Yuan Shao.

When it comes to appease and appease the Hulu, the Yuan family is the real backbone.Since Yuan An, he has always advocated appeasement of the Hulu, rather than conquest.Now Yuan Shao is based in Jizhou, and has close ties with Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou. Not long ago, he married several clan women to Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and granted several Shanyu.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time. "Yuan Hao, let's say the right thing."
