Chapter 507 The Rising Yuan Shao

Jizhou, Bohai County.

As the governor of a county, Yuan Shao has been rather melancholy these days.

Back then, Yuan Shao was so energetic when he was calling for Dong, Yuan Shao was promoted as the leader of the alliance by all the princes, and all the scholars in the world admired his name.

It's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of troops ended up in the Hulao with hatred.

After the defeat of Dong, the Guandong herdsmen attacked each other in order to expand their personal territory, compete for land and population.

Seeing this situation, Mu Hanfu of Jizhou was afraid that Yuan Shao would become a big man, secretly reduce the supply of military supplies, and try to starve and starve Yuan Shao's army.

Although Han Fu was an old official of the Yuan family, his position at this time was Yuan Shao's immediate superior.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao sighed in disappointment.

When the staff judge met, he couldn't help asking: "Why is the lord sighing?"

The trial and match belonged to Yuan Shao because he didn't want to be satisfied with Han Fu.

Yuan Shao attached great importance to the trial and distribution, so he told the trial and distribution all about Han Fuke's withholding of food, grass and military pay.

After listening to the reviewer, he stroked his beard and said: "The old lord asked me, if something goes wrong, where can I take it as a defense?" I replied: "When the south is based on the Yellow River, the north is guarded by Yan and Dai, and there are Karasuma, The people of Xianbei, then went south to fight for the world.'”

Yuan Shao remembered this, it was a question he asked about the school's examination and assignment.The so-called south is based on the Yellow River, and the north is guarded by Yan and Dai. The vast area in the middle is Jizhou, which is rich in products and has a large population.

"At this time, it is a golden opportunity from God!"

The meaning in the words of trial and distribution is obvious, which is to let Yuan Shao attack Jizhou.

Of course, Yuan Shao's ambition is not satisfied with a mere small county in the Bohai Sea. He has long coveted Jizhou, which is called "the world's most important capital".

It's just that he has an indecisive temperament, and it is difficult to make decisions for a long time, and he is quite worried in his heart. As the shepherd of Jizhou, Han Fu has far less troops than Yuan Shao.

"Jizhou is strong, and our army is hungry. If we can't attack, I won't even have a foothold." Yuan Shao said a little heroically.

The judge didn't take it seriously. He has always been a very assertive person, and immediately gave Yuan Shao an idea: "My lord, Han Fu is just a mediocre person. We can secretly make an appointment with Shi Gongsun Zan, the governor of the Liaodong vassal state, and let him attack Jizhou in the south. Treat him When the soldiers move, Han Fu will be panic-stricken, so let's take this opportunity to send eloquent people to explain the stakes to Han Fu, and we are not afraid that he will not let him out of Jizhou."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this.Sure enough, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zan according to the intention of the judge, and promised him a lot of money to make him attack Jizhou in the south.

Gongsun Zan received the letter, in which Yuan Shao stated that if he could be allowed to sit on Jizhou Mu, he should give Gongsun Zan the land around Zhongshan Kingdom in the northern border of Jizhou.

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, and simply explained to Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and sent troops south to attack Jizhou.

When Han Fu learned that Gongsun Zan was attacking, he fought with him, but he was no match for Gongsun Zan, and was beaten back and forth, panicked.

At this time, Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephew, and Xun Chen, a counselor under his command, came to Yecheng without losing the opportunity.

Xun Chen and Han Fu are old friends, and it is not difficult to meet this Jizhou shepherd.

When they came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Fu received the two of them.

However, Han Fu's spirit didn't seem to be very good, he was rather haggard. After all, he had lost consecutive battles. Although there was a temporary truce, Gongsun Zan was still eyeing the north.

Han Fu ordered someone to bring fruit snacks, and said to the two apologetically, "Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Xun Chen didn't care much about this, but asked straight to the point: "Brother Wen Jie, are you worrying about the war?"

Han Fu's ancestral home is Yingchuan, and he is also a native of Yingchuan.He thought he had a good relationship with Xun Chen, and nodded without hiding it from him.

Xun Chen took a sip of water, and after pondering for a moment, he put down the water glass and said slowly, "I have a plan, which can save Brother Wen Jie from his current difficulties."

Hearing this, Han Fu grasped at straws, and hurriedly asked: "If you have any good ideas, please teach me quickly."

He was really scared by Gongsun Zan, the white wolf.

Xun Chen then talked about the current situation in Jizhou: "Gongsun Zan led the troops from Yan and Dai to take advantage of the victory and go southward. The counties in Jizhou responded one after another, and the army was unstoppable. Yuan Shao of Bohai County led his army to move east again at this time. His intentions are immeasurable. Brother Wen Jie's situation is very difficult!"

In addition to being a counselor under Yuan Shao's command, Xun Chen is also a child of the Xun family in Yingchuan, and his father is Xun Tiao, one of the eight dragons of the Xun family.

And he is also Xun Yu's older brother.

Of course Han Fu knew that the situation was critical, so he wanted to know the solution even more.

Xun Chen then asked him: "Based on your estimation, in terms of generosity and love for others, how is yours compared to Yuan Shao?"

Without thinking too much, Han Fu replied, "I'm not as good as it is."

"How do you compare to Yuan Shi in terms of making decisions in times of crisis and being wise and brave?"

Han Fu replied, "I'm not as good as that."

"Then, how much better are you than Yuan Shi in terms of spreading kindness and virtue for many lifetimes and bringing benefits to the world?"

Han Fu shook his head again: "It's still not as good as it is."

After asking several questions one after another, Xun Chen finally said: "Gongsun Zan led the elite of Yan and Dai, and his troops were unstoppable; Yuan was a hero for a while, how could he stay under the general for a long time."

"Jizhou is an important place for the survival of the country. If the Yuan family and Gongsun Zan work together to fight the general, the general's death will be imminent!"

"Of course—"

Xun Chen changed the subject and started to make suggestions for Han Fu: "The Yuan family is an old friend of the general and has formed an alliance. The current plan is to give up Jizhou to the Yuan family. After the Yuan family gets Jizhou, he will definitely treat the general well. Gongsun Zan could not fight against him.

"At that time, the general will not only gain the reputation of being a virtuous man, but also your position will be more stable than Mount Tai. I hope the general will not be confused!"

Han Fu is cowardly by nature and lacks assertiveness. When Xun Chen said this, he was ready to agree.

"Master, don't listen to the villain's words!"

At this time, there was an angry shout from outside the hall, four people, Chang Shi Geng Wu, Bie Jia Min Chun, Zhi Zhong Li Li and Qi Du Wei Jushou, walked into the hall.

The four looked at Xun Chen and Gao Gan with hatred in their eyes.

Jushou, the captain of cavalry, bowed his hands to Han Fu and said: "Your Majesty, although Jizhou is remote, there are millions of soldiers and enough food for ten years. Yuan Shao is a lonely and poor army. Looking up to you is like a baby in your hand." Normally, once weaned, he would starve to death immediately, so why should we give up Jizhou to him?"

Han Fu couldn't listen, but told them helplessly: "I am an old official of the Yuan family, and my talents are not as good as my original ones. This is what the ancients admired. Why do you still blame it?"

These words made several people very angry. Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, the governors who were stationed in Heyang, heard the news, and rushed eastward with more than ten thousand people, requesting to send troops to resist Yuan Shao.

However, Han Fu had no fighting spirit at this time, rejected their request, then moved out of the government office, and sent his son to deliver Jizhou Mu's seal and ribbon to Yuan Shao.

Since then, Yuan Shao has become the new Lord of Jizhou without a single soldier.
