Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 154 Draining from the bottom of the pot (updated, 820)

Night gradually descended on Luoyang City, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, dark clouds shrouded it, and it was gloomy.

Sikong House.

This mansion was built on the side of the North Palace, covering an area of ​​almost a hundred acres. It is magnificent, but elegant and quiet. At this moment, the mansion is brightly lit, and the upper hall in the central lobby has a depressing atmosphere.

Sikong Yuanfeng, the current leader of the gentry, at this moment, kneeling on the top, his expression cold and gloomy like ice, and kneeling on the left and right sides of him are Taiwei Yuan Kui, Wei Wei Yang Biao, Luoyang Commander Sima There are a dozen or so pillars of Fang and other gentry, all of whom are important ministers of the dynasty.

Accompanying him at the end was Yuan Shao, Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, and Yuan Shu, a general of Huben Zhonglang.

The brothers of the Yuan family are the outstanding members of the second generation of the Yuan family, and they are also the young generation who are regarded as the heirs by the aristocratic families. Moreover, they now hold military power in Luoyang, so they are qualified to attend the meetings of the elders.

"Brother, Your Majesty is determined to praise a yellow scarf traitor!"

Yuan Kai looked at Yuan Feng and said gloomyly.

In their hearts, Mushan is a yellow scarf traitor, even if he is bleached in the end and becomes a nobleman with a title above the court, this is something they cannot change.

The yellow turban thieves are the natural enemies of the aristocratic families.

They are inherently inseparable.

The Yellow Turban is powerful, and the family must wither.

"The decree has been issued, and this matter is probably done!" Yang Biao looked at Yuan Feng's silent expression, and said in a low voice: "If we continue to oppose, I'm afraid His Majesty will suspect us!"

"Even if we don't object, won't His Majesty suspect us?"

Sima Fang patted the case and said: "We and the gentry, how can we let a remnant of the yellow scarf ride on our heads!"

"Mushan now holds an army of [-]. If he can secure Nanyang, Jingzhou will be in danger, Yingchuan will be in danger, and Runan will be in danger!" Yuan Kai cupped his hands and said, "Brother, no matter what, we cannot let him sit firmly. The position of the prefect of Nanyang!"

"Father, uncle is right!"

Yuan Shu said coldly: "This beast of Mushan ruined our Runan plan, how can we keep him, we must find a way to get rid of him!"

After a long time, Yuan Feng opened his mouth and said: "One person, Mushan, can't achieve the climate. If it is my order, the nobles in the world will definitely attack him. He wants to sit firmly in Nanyang and make peace easily. But what worries me most now is But Lu Zigan, why did they praise him?"

A Mushan, with muddy legs, has no foundation in the scholastic community. If the gentry all over the world reject him, he will not be able to recruit a single scholar in Nanyang to serve him, and will also make his soldiers leave the ground, and Nanyang will be separated. The county seat did not obey.

This is the power of the gentry in the world, even the imperial court can't stop it, let alone a mere Nanyang.

But the gentry are not the only ones.

What he is worried about now is that Lu Zhi will support Mushan. Lu Zhi, Wang Yun and others will join forces to carve up half of the country among the scholars. A serious problem.

"Uncle, I think this may have something to do with Mulongtu!"

Yuan Shao opened his mouth, he cupped his hands and said.

He was originally the eldest son of Yuan Feng, but it was a pity that he came from a concubine, and it was difficult for him to be successful in his life. There was a world of difference between the clan and the concubines. In the past, he was still uncle Yuan Cheng. earned an identity.

It's a pity that now the Yuan family, Yuan Feng, the Sikong is respected, and the eldest son of the Yuan family is only Yuan Shu, not himself.

"Shepherd Dragon Picture?" Yuan Shu squinted at Yuan Shao, who was originally his elder brother but now turned into a cousin, and said with a cold smile, "He's just a yellow-mouthed kid!"

Don't think he doesn't know, many people think that Yuan Shao's talent is above their own.

This made Yuan Shao not very friendly to him.

The eldest son of the Yuan family is Yuan Shao.

"It's impossible for a child with a yellow mouth to persuade Lu Zhi and the others. Don't underestimate this son, Mu Longtu. Lu Zhi has a tough temper. Even in the past, he never bowed down when faced with persecution by eunuchs. How can he be persuaded by ordinary people? of!"

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "But Mu Longtu is able to convince Lu Zhi. He came to Beijing alone, which is a kind of boldness. Doesn't he know that this trip is dangerous, but he still comes, and his strategy is extraordinary First, he opened up the road of eunuchs, went to Datianting, beat us first, caught us off guard, and then recruited Lu Zhi, Wang Yun and others, and talked Zhang Rang, Lu Zhi and other people who were incompatible with each other as Mushan, Such ability is rare in the world. If you think that he is young and look down on this person, you will be too careless. Everyone, forget that a few days ago, in the Taixue discussion of politics, this son became famous in one battle , Yang Wei Shilin, now among the scholars, but a little famous, the reputation of madness, can not be underestimated!"

After Taixue discusses politics, among Luoyang scholars, the name of Crazy Life and Shepherd Dragon Picture has been publicized.

"At the beginning, do you have an idea?" Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He admired this former eldest son. He never used Yuan's resources, but relied on He Jinmen to win the Central Military Academy among the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan Lieutenant, won a very important part of the military power for the Yuan family in the capital.

The most important thing is that his existence has completely won over the power of his relatives, and this time Yuan Feng is most important.

However, what is important is what is important, the rules of the aristocratic family cannot be broken, the Yuan family will need a son to inherit in the future, and he will leave all of this to Yuan Shu. Of course, he also hopes that Yuan Shao can assist Yuan Shu and make the Yuan family even better.

"Uncle, the rectification of Mushan's name is irreversible. Since it is irreversible, above the court, we don't have to continue to contend with His Majesty, so as to make His Majesty feel bad!"

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "But it's not that we have no chance right now. We don't object to the canonization of Mushan. If Mushan suddenly rebels, everything will be different. At that time, we can justifiably send troops to encircle and suppress, and we can still be in the court. To win back a game, completely overwhelm Lu Zhi, and force them to give up their scholarly reputation, His Majesty has nothing to say."

"Whimsical, Mu Shan is now wholeheartedly seeking the court's support. His Majesty has already decreed that he be made a Marquis, lead Wudu General, and get Nanyang Prefect. How could he turn against the court at this time?" Yuan Shu said disapprovingly.

"indeed so!"

Everyone nodded, thinking it was impossible.

"Mu Shan has only one son, and his blood is all on Mulongtu. Now Mulongtu is imprisoned in the capital. His Majesty is planning to take Mushan as a hostage, but what if Mulongtu dies suddenly!"

Yuan Shao didn't care about Yuan Shu's confrontation, he smiled lightly and said, "At that time, Mu Shan will still not oppose him!"

"good idea!"

"Draw the bottom of the pot and force Mu Shan to turn back!"

"..."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately agreed and looked at Yuan Shao with admiration.

"But brother, have you thought about it, if we act without authorization, it will be enough to anger His Majesty, then how will we deal with ourselves!" Yuan Shu took a deep breath, calmed down, and instead of confronting each other, he added.

"Who said we made a move!"

"Who shot?"

"Of course someone is more anxious than us!" Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"He Jin!"

Everyone is the pillar of the family, so naturally their thoughts are sharp, and they speak out at once.

"At the beginning, are you sure?"

Yuan Feng's eyes flickered, he glanced at Yuan Shao, and asked in a deep voice.

"It shouldn't be difficult, but even though He Jin is a butcher, he is also suspicious. If uncle wants him to make a move, he must show some sincerity and let him know that we are not using him, but an alliance!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Fengdao: "I will ask Yuan Gu to personally bring thirty dead men to listen to your orders. If you can't do anything, you need to save yourself. Don't break yourself in for a mere remnant of the Yellow Turban!"

"Thank you uncle for your trust!"

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said.

……

The General's Mansion.

In the hall, He Jin was furious: "What does Zhang Zi do? He can't even manage a mere Wuyin county captain. What use is there for him? Now Nanyang is taken by Mushan, and the ancestral hall is still under Mushan. What face do we have to go see our ancestors!"

He clan, then you are from Nanyang Wancheng.

Nanyang is very important to He Jin, so after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he did not hesitate to move up and down, even allying the strength of the gentry, so he proudly placed his confidant Zhang Zi in Nanyang to lead the Nanyang prefect.

But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Nanyang to change hands.

It's fine if it's someone else, but it's Mu Shan, Mu Shan who holds the military power in his hand, even he can't give orders.

"Brother, calm down!"

He Miao, the chariot general, knelt down in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Now that Nanyang has been lost, we still need to find a way to appease Zhang Zi!"

"What's the use of appeasing him!"

"General, in fact, what General Cheqi said is true. After all, Zhang Zi is the scholar we have won over, and he is a role model, so we should not take it lightly!" said Bao Xin, the aide.

The chief bookkeeper Chen Lin said: "General, you must not lose your reputation as a scholar because of this!"

"Humph!"

He Jin snorted coldly, with a gloomy face, but he was the great general of the dynasty after all, and he still had the power to endure: "Recall him back to the capital and stay in Nanyang, I'm afraid he will be killed by Mushan instead!"

"No!" Chen Lin, the master secretary, nodded, picked up a pen and ink, wrote the secret letter, and then asked He Jin to stamp the private seal and send it directly.

"Mushan's beast, how should I deal with it!" He Jin asked.

"General, this wind should not prevail, and this person must not be left behind. He has soldiers in his hands, and His Majesty's praise will inevitably threaten the position of the General in the future!" Bao Xin said.

"But now it's done, we must not disobey His Majesty's will!"

Cheqi General He Miao said: "If you can't bear it, you will mess up big schemes. If you hate His Majesty, implicate the empress in the palace, and let the First Prince dislike His Majesty, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss!"

"That's right!" Everyone nodded.

He Jin was also helpless, his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Report to the General, Lieutenant Yuan Shao of the Chinese Military Academy, and Cao Cao, Lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy, are asking to see you outside the door!"

"Let them in!"

"promise!"

Soon, under the leadership of several disciples of the He Mansion, the two heroes who will compete for the Central Plains in the future are both in their early thirties. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are in their prime, walked in from the outside, and bowed their heads to salute.
