The big man is on the run

Chapter 91: Holding the Son of Heaven!River East under the Butterfly Effect
At this moment, the attendant came to report: "Report to my lord, the Jujian army has arrived."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses, stood up, and greeted the door in person.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping looked at each other, and at the same time, a trace of jealousy and resentment that could not be concealed flashed in their eyes.

Seeing Yuan Shao coming out, Ju Shou hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See my lord."

"Haha, don't be too polite, come in and sit!" Yuan Shao laughed loudly.

"promise."

Entering the hall, the attendants retreated, not daring to stay longer.

Yuan Shao and Jushou entered the hall, sat down at their respective seats, and then began to talk about business.

"Gongze, tell Ju Supervisor Army about the plan you discussed." Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and said.

Guo Tu didn't dare to play any tricks in front of Yuan Shao, and directly explained the whole story and their plan clearly.The more Ju Shou listened, the more he frowned. What kind of strategy is this?This is simply doing nothing and watching fate slip away!
But Jushou looked up and saw Yuan Shao's slightly nodding expression, but he seemed to understand something. Could it be that the lord was afraid that welcoming the court and the emperor to Jizhou would destabilize his rule?
"My lord can be said to be strategizing, we think we just need to wait and see what happens, and then wait for the opportunity." Guo Tu boasted.

"Hehe, that's right. What Gongze said is very true. It's the best way to wait and see what happens. Let's wait quietly for the imperial court and Li Jue to fight to the death!" Xin Ping echoed, and he glanced at Ju Shou proudly. .

"Master is not allowed!"

Jushou looked anxious, he ignored the strange expressions of the other three, and directly advised him.

"Oh? Why is that?" Yuan Shao asked with some doubts.

"People's hearts are like water, and if you lose it, you will never come back! Great righteousness is like a river, and it is better to block it than to block it!"

Ju Shou set a tone first, but he didn't dare to really go against Yuan Shao's temper. He was not as upright as Tian Feng, but he flattered him first.

"The lord was born in the family of four generations and three princes, and helped the world with loyalty."

Looking at Yuan Shao with a slightly complacent expression, Ju Shou just continued.

"Now Your Majesty is displaced, the ancestral temple is destroyed, and the shepherds of various states and counties use the name of Xingyi soldiers to annex the reality. No one has risen to defend the emperor and comfort the people. Now the general has made a rough decision on Jizhou, and he should welcome him early. Yecheng was established as the capital."

Jushou stood up and saluted, speaking word by word.

"Use the Son of Heaven to command the feudal lords, stockpile troops and horses to fight for disobedience!"

After hearing Ju Shou's eloquent words, even though there were countless reasons in his heart to resist welcoming the court, Yuan Shao was still slightly moved.

Although he is not short of fame, although he does not like having someone on top of his head giving him orders, although he is worried that the native faction in Jizhou will get mixed up with the imperial court, what Ju Shou said is really tempting!
Seeing Yuan Shao's expression wavered, Guo Tu stood up and said, "My lord, think twice! The Han Dynasty has been in decline for a long time, and it's not easy to revive it today!"

This sentence is still a cliché, Guo Tu's real killer is behind.

"Besides, today's heroes are based in prefectures and counties, and tens of thousands of scholars are mobilizing. This is the time when the so-called 'Qin loses its deer, and the first winner is king'. If we welcome the emperor to our side, we will have to ask for instructions at every turn. Obedience to the imperial court's order will result in loss of power, and disobedience will result in the crime of resisting the imperial edict, this is not a good strategy!"

Ju Shou persuaded again earnestly: "If you take the emperor, you have obtained the biggest deer in the world! My lord! If you don't take it, you will be blamed! If you are taken by others, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yuan Shao hesitated again and again, and said the biggest trouble buried in his heart.

"I have today's prestige in the hearts of the gentry in the world. The biggest thing I rely on is that I was the first among the gentry in the world. But I begged Dong because Dong Zhuo arbitrarily abolished the establishment, abolished the elders and established the young. The so-called slander of Yuan's national thief can still be blamed on Li Jue, but now that I welcome this 'young' back, how will the scholars of the world think of me?"

As soon as these words came out, Ju Shou was speechless.

It turned out that this was Yuan Shao's knot in his heart. In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the political capital he had gained the most was in conflict with his decision to take the emperor's hand!
"My lord, we can't make rash decisions because of these things. We need to think carefully, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles and let the court fall into the hands of others." Ju Shou persuaded reluctantly.

Yuan Shao sneered in his heart when he heard the words, but there was no expression on his face, and he asked, "Oh? You mean that the plan was not proper and too rash?"

Yuan Shao's tone was already somewhat unfriendly.

Jushou knew that Yuan Shao had expressed his position, and what he said did not conform to Yuan Shao's wishes, so he hurriedly got up and saluted and said earnestly: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, my subordinates have no intention of offending you, because this matter concerns the whole world. We still need to think carefully.”

"Then what does the Ju Supervisor think he wants to do?"

Yuan Shao's tone was cold, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were even more indifferent. Looking at Jushou who was kneeling on the ground, Yuan Shao asked coldly.

The Jujian Army, the Jujian Army, and the Jushou have military power!As the supervisor of the army, he has Yuan Shao's unique trust, but also suffers from everyone's jealousy and suspicion.

Hearing the meaning of Yuan Shao's words, both Guo Tu and Xin Ping were overjoyed. They thought that they wanted to anger the lord and make him lose the lord's trust. Then it will be easier for him to gain the trust of the lord, so as to overwhelm the Jizhou faction this time.

The relationship between the Jizhou faction and the Yuzhou faction can be said to be the same situation, they don't like each other, and both sides want to replace it, so they have always been at odds, and Yuan Shao has been playing a balancing act between the two sides, making a decision from time to time. Suppress and win over.

Ju Shou was shocked when he heard the words, and he was very annoyed.

Just now he only cared about saying what he wanted to say, but forgot Yuan Shao's character. Now Yuan Shao must be disappointed in him.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that we have part of Shangdang County in our hands. Although we can't attack the Black Mountain Army to the north, we must at least attack Hedong!" Ju Shou said.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao said in a calm tone, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Ju Shou sat down quickly, with apprehension and uneasiness on his face, he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Shao, for fear that he would provoke him again and make the relationship between him and himself worse.

Seeing Jushou's terrified appearance, Yuan Shao felt a little guilty. His hidden demons were touched, and he lost his composure just now.

"My lord, although there are conflicts between Li Jue and the court, the court's strength is not as strong as Li Jue's. Therefore, my subordinates think that what Guo Gong said is correct, and Cao Cao's side must be considered, but if the court does not go Luoyang came to Hedong instead, and we sent troops, but there are only advantages and no disadvantages." Ju Shou said slowly.

Yuan Shao was taken aback by Jushou's words. Jushou shouldn't have understood his attitude yet, so what he said meant that it was indeed profitable.

Yuan Shao was puzzled and asked: "Why did you fight Hedong? The Jujian Army said before, isn't Gongsun Zan of Youzhou our biggest enemy? Moreover, we fought against the Black Mountain Army before, and we cannot defeat them in the Taihang Mountains."

"My lord Qizuo, under the banner of welcoming the imperial court, we can pretend to attack Guo! At that time, no matter whether the imperial court came to Hedong or went to Luoyang, we can reap the benefits of being a fisherman! Gongsun Zan is powerless to defend Yijing It’s over, all we need is General Qu Yi’s long-term confrontation. Now that Jizhou’s troops are fully equipped with food and grass, why don’t you take advantage of the situation and take Hedong?”

Hearing Jushou's words, Yuan Shao suddenly realized, he finally understood what his think tank was thinking.

It turns out that the meaning of Jushou is not to welcome the imperial court, but to follow the banner of the imperial court to conquer Hedong. Obtaining more benefits is more in line with Yuan Shao's mind.

Of course, Jushou's intentions are more far-reaching. If the court goes to Luoyang, that's all.

It's not that Yuan Shao didn't think of this level, but his vision is not long-term. As long as there is a piece of meat in front of him, it is enough for him to eat it before making other plans.

"Hehe, the Ju Supervisor Army has a very good idea. Yes, if we can take down Hedong and cut off the connection between the Black Mountain Army and the outside world, then we have a great chance of winning the entire Bingzhou and even unifying the North. However, I have some concerns. .” Yuan Shao looked hesitant.

"My lord, please tell me."

Yuan Shao looked at Jushou coldly and said, "What if the imperial court is really in Hedong?"

Ju Shou's expression was unpredictable, and he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Dong Zhuo can abolish the establishment, why can't the lord? When the time comes, the lord will untangle himself!"

Yuan Shao was slightly stunned, and immediately showed his face, stroked his palms and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, good! Good! Good! It's such a knot in my heart!"

"That being the case, then get ready to send troops to Hedong! Do you have any suggestions?"

Guo Tu knew that Yuan Shao had already been persuaded by Ju Shou, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he would not go against Yuan Shao's temper.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will inquire about the situation of Cao Cao and Liu Biao for my lord. Please rest assured, my lord." Guo Tu promised quickly.

"Hmm! Thank you for your hard work!" Yuan Shao nodded, then looked at Xin Ping and said, "Zhongzhi, what about you? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Well, the idea of ​​the Ju Supervisor Army is good, but this is just a suggestion. We need to carefully consider how to do it. After all, there are many things involved in the expedition, such as soldiers, horses, food, and civilian husbands." Xin He hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

Xun Chen also nodded in agreement.

Hearing that Xin Ping and Xun Chen did not object to his opinion, Ju Shou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter what, it's good that these people agree, at least there is no objection on the surface.

"Okay, since that's the case, we will first send troops to Hedong under the banner of welcoming the imperial court. In this way, no matter what the outcome is, the greatest credit is still ours, and we are the biggest beneficiaries."

Yuan Shao had already made up his mind and was ready to make another move. Regardless of whether there was a matter of welcoming the imperial court to abolish the emperor or not, he had to bite off the fat of Hedong first.

"My lord is wise, if both the imperial court and Li Jue are hurting, then we can take advantage of the chaos to clean up the mess, and we may not be able to take advantage of the situation to occupy Guanzhong!" Guo Tu flattered.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't make a decision until Ju Shou came.

That's right, I was thinking about it, welcoming the court does not mean accepting the emperor, I can set up another one!It's not the first time he has done this kind of thing. At first he wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor, but he didn't succeed.

"My lord, shall I inform the generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan to make them ready?" Ju Shou asked.

"En! Ju Jianjun, let's go, this is where your authority lies." Yuan Shao nodded after hearing this.

Seeing Yuan Shao nodded, Ju Shou immediately left the hall, not wanting to stay with Guo Tuxin and others for a moment.

"Ah!" After Jushou left, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, full of emotions in his heart, he felt that he might have blamed Jushou this time, and even lost his temper towards him.

Jushou is a loyal minister, but he is not like Tian Feng, who is as stubborn as a cow, who opposes himself everywhere. He only does this to stabilize his political power.

However, this scene in Yecheng happened a few days ago, and Liu Yi, who was separated by the entire Bingzhou, had no idea that the wings of his little butterfly were getting bigger and bigger, so that the rolling wheels of history had already passed. started to deviate from the planned trajectory.

Yuan Shao's attack on Hedong meant that some of the helpers Liu Yi had summoned couldn't come!
