Chapter 564 Parting ways (Big Bear 2020 reward plus more)

Yuan Shao's worries soon became reality.

As soon as the battle ended, Xian Yufu withdrew his troops to the north of Jumashui, put up a defensive position, and announced that before the new Youzhou Governor or Youzhou Mu arrived, Youzhou would be taken over by Youyan Governor Xun You.

The Governor of Youyan has not been formally appointed, and not many people know about it, but the fact that Xun You is stationed at Tanhan Mountain is a fact that all Han and Hu know.Youzhou accepted Xun You's order, which meant obeying the imperial court's dispatch.Unless there is an edict from the imperial court, other people are not allowed to cross Jumashui and enter Youzhou, otherwise it will be a war.

Yuan Shao could still pretend to be deaf and dumb, but the Wuhuan and Xianbei people who assisted him in the battle panicked.

Yi Jing was broken, Gongsun Zan was dead, and there was no reason for them to stay in Jizhou.Once Xun You identified him as an enemy, and he was blocked from the south of Jumashui and could not return north, his hometown would become the target of Xun You's attack.

Many people asked Yuan Shao to resign, and the rest were anxious and strongly opposed Yuan Shao's war with Xian Yufu.

Yuan Shao was very angry, but he had nothing to do, so he had to strike back and retreat to Yi County to rest.

Taking this opportunity, Zhen Yao begged to see Tian Feng and asked Tian Feng to speak to Yuan Shao.Zhen Mi has a fairy dream, and needs to go to Beiyue to sacrifice to the god of Xuanwu, and the marriage contract has to be postponed for a while.

After Tian Feng listened, he took a look at Zhen Yao. "Are you flustered after hearing the news of the emperor Xiu Tuze's great victory?"

Zhen Yao was indeed flustered.If Yuan Shao knew that the news of the emperor Xiu Tuze's great victory was spread by him, he would definitely die.

He hesitantly said: "Tian Gong Mingjian, I, the Zhongshan Zhen family... can't be careless. Tian Gong, you say... the emperor's victory after victory, this man's destiny... can continue for a while?"

Tian Feng thought about it carefully, sighed lightly, and nodded in agreement.The Zhen family in Zhongshan has made mistakes before, so it is inevitable to look forward and backward. It is understandable to have such worries.Now that Yi Jing has been broken, the situation in northern Jibei has stabilized, and the marriage contract with Zhen's is not imminent.

The original decision to marry the Zhen family was originally an expedient measure to win over the tyrants in northern Hebei, but now it is not so urgent.

He is more willing to arrange a marriage between Yuan Xi and a rich family in southern Hebei.

Tian Feng accepted Zhen Yao's gift, agreed to speak to Yuan Shao, and declined the engagement for a while.However, he also reminded Zhen Yao that Yuan Xi has become an adult, and now he has become a general of the army. There are many people who want to marry Yuan Xi. You Zhen missed it, so you can't blame others.

Zhen Yao was very grateful.

Yuan Shao summoned his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

There are mainly two questions: First, what about the rewards after the victory?The second is to continue to march into Youzhou, or to fight in Yanyu.

The reviewer sent messages continuously.Zhou Zhong was besieging Lujiang, he was pinched by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, unable to move forward, Yan Liang, who was guarding Lujiang, was fighting alone, if he could not be rescued, he might not last long.

Tian Feng made a generous speech and suggested that Yuan Shao transfer to Yanyu.

His reason is simple.Youzhou's advantage lies in the cavalry, and the others are useless. Jizhou needs to support some money and food every year.Now that Wuhuan and Xianbei's cavalry had already entered the ranks, there was no need to fight Xun You again.It is better to stabilize the battle line in the Juma River area first, concentrate our forces first, break the siege of the Lujiang River, take advantage of the situation to defeat Yuan Shu, and take all the land of the Jianghuai River.

The Central Plains is rich and prosperous. If you take the Central Plains, you will have enough spoils to reward the soldiers.

Hearing Yuan Shu's name, Yuan Shao's heart was moved immediately.

In his view, although the emperor is a threat, he is far away in Liangzhou, and there is no direct conflict yet.Yuan Shu was a thorn in his flesh, threatening him all the time and had to be pulled out immediately.

Yuan Shao accepted Tian Feng's suggestion and announced that he would march south.

The northern Hebei clan was disappointed.One is that the rewards after the war are gone, and the other is that Yuan Shao will go south, so Jizhou will become the front line, and a war may break out at any time, which is extremely unfavorable for the resumption of production.They hope to seize Zhuojun in one go, push the front line to Shanggu and Guangyang, ensure the safety of northern Hebei, and then concentrate their forces to go south.

In order to appease the big families in northern Hebei, Yuan Shao decided to confer official titles.

Jushou tried his best to dissuade him.The imperial court now only recognizes Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai, and the prefect of Bohai is not qualified to be appointed as an official, let alone worshiped as a prince. Yuan Shao's doing so is tantamount to open rebellion, and the previous compromise with the imperial court will not stand.

In case the emperor is furious and attacks Jizhou, how to deal with it?

This time, Tian Feng stood against Ju Shou.

He confidently stated that Liangzhou was safe at the beginning, but the emperor was unable to attack Jizhou.At the beginning, the compromise with the imperial court was only to concentrate troops and attack Gongsun Zan.Now that Gongsun Zan was dead, there was no need to compromise, and he just took this opportunity to test the emperor's confidence.

Taking a step back, even if the emperor was overwhelmed with anger and ordered to attack Jizhou, it would not be a cause for concern.

Conferring officials and giving titles, boosting morale, and all the soldiers in Jizhou are enough to fight against the emperor.

Yuan Shao accepted Tian Feng's suggestion.

Jushou was disappointed, but helpless.He knew that Tian Feng was gambling, but with the current situation in Jizhou, there was indeed no better way than putting all his eggs in one basket.

Sure enough, after conferring more than a dozen generals and marquises, the northern Hebei clan changed their minds and supported Yuan Shao to go south.

-

On the side of the ruins of Yi Jing, Liu and Le Ma stood alone, motionless.

Several personal guards stood not far away, looking at each other and sighing.

After defeating Gongsun Zan, not only was Liu He not free, but he seemed to have lost his soul. He often came here to see it for a long time, and he didn't know what he could see.

Some cavalry came rushing from a distance, guarding a carriage.The guards turned their heads and quickly recognized Yuan Tan, so they relaxed.

Liu He acted as if he had never heard of it, and remained indifferent.

The carriage came and followed, Yuan Tan got out of the carriage, slowly came to Liu He's side, and patted Liu He's knee.

"Gongheng, wake up. The old things are like dust and smoke, you should look forward."

Liu He turned his head slowly, looked at Yuan Tan, and smiled silently. "Being unfaithful as a minister, being unfilial as a son, and being unrighteous as a friend, do I still have a future?"

"Gongheng, why are you here? Follow me to the south. With your ability, when you arrive in the Central Plains, you will be able to unify your troops..."

"Can you?" Liu He interrupted Yuan Tan, shook the reins, and turned the horse's head.

Yuan Tan followed, his face a bit disappointed.Liu He's question stung him.Following Yuan Shao to the south, he might not even have the chance to get one, let alone Liu He.

Because of this, he needs Liu He's help even more.

Liu He is a native of Donghai, and he has an influence that cannot be underestimated in Donghai.If Liu He is willing to go south with him, it will help him to plunder Xuzhou.

But this is just an assumption, and he himself is not sure.

Different from the ambiguity of the southern Hebei clan, the northern Hebei clan clearly supported Yuan Xi.Unless he can get the support of the Yanyu clan and make great contributions in the war in the Central Plains, his position as heir will not be guaranteed.

"Balance, I need your help."

"Do you really want me to help you?"

"of course."

"Then you stay in northern Hebei and don't go to the Central Plains. Although you dare not say that you have meritorious service, you must be able to do nothing wrong."

Yuan Tan smiled wryly. "You know it's impossible."

"Then I can't help you."

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know." Liu He raised his head and looked into the distance. "Go out and have a look first, and then make a decision."
