Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 80 They often fight verbally and are inseparable

"Hey, why do you say that?" Xu Chu was stunned for a while, "The eunuch is worried that we will hate him because of this? That won't happen!"

With a slightly appreciative expression on his face, he patted his chest grandly, "A real man will do what he says, and if he can't win, he will listen to brother Dian."

"Dian Wei deserves to be called the champion of the whole army with bravery."

"That's not it." Xu Zhen looked serious, serious, and looked into the distance, "He lost to me."

Zhuge Liang followed behind Xu Zhen, nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it then."

Xu Chu: "..."

……

In the early morning, Liu Bei was called to the government office.

Cao Cao handed Yuzhou over to him.

After thinking about it all night, Liu Bei had already made sufficient psychological preparations, so after shuffling a few times, he reluctantly took the seal.

Then he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and several people and moved into the newly rebuilt government office house.

Started to handle official business in various places.

But as expected, almost all the officials under his command and the celebrities recommended by counties and counties were from Cao Cao, and even the prefect of Runan was Cao Chun's temporary replacement.

The local people also know that Cao Jun is stationed in Xu County.

When he called Liu Yuzhou, he would immediately think about Cao Gong. It would take Liu Bei many years to change this situation.

The common people also think that Liu Bei is just Cao Cao's subordinate at this time, so how to explain this so that the common people only remember Liu Yuzhou?
too difficult.

So at the end of the day, Liu Bei's mood was actually not happy.

But fortunately, when inspecting the farmland, he must do everything by himself, so that he can enrich himself.

More than ten days passed like this.

gradually stabilized.

Cao Cao sent out spies to continuously inquire about the news from Anyi. After the spring plowing, many so-called royalist generals were not satisfied with establishing their capital in Anyi.

Still have to go back to the old capital Luoyang.

So under the discussion, they prepared to set off again to move the emperor to the imperial capital of Luoyang.

In Luoyang at that time, after years of reconstruction, the outside villages and counties could barely be masters, but no one went to repair the palace.

One is the melee of the princes, fighting endlessly, everyone wants to strengthen themselves, and has no energy to waste on such a luxurious palace.

The two have no money, and the money is used to expand military resources, recruit soldiers, and appease the people. How could it be used to finance the palace in exchange for the fame of Xu Zhonghan.

Therefore, even if the emperor came to the Luoyang palace, it would only be a burden to the princes. Even Liu Biao, who was a relative of the emperor, could not come from Jingzhou to the old capital to repair it.

After receiving this news, Cao Cao began to wait, and ordered his troops to move slowly towards Luoyang. The slow march will not be so fast, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten days to reach the vicinity of the pass.

And the emperor secretly issued an edict, ordering the princes from all over the country to come to welcome and escort the emperor, and not violate it. Several edicts were even issued to Jizhou and Youzhou.

I want the two to make peace.

When Cao Cao was waiting for news from Dong Zhao in Yuzhou, the north fell into confusion.

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

In the luxurious and magnificent government office, there are hundreds of steps slanting upwards, and there is a lobby of at least a hundred feet in length and width.

It can't even be called a lobby, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a "Great Hall" in terms of the carvings and materials used in the courtyard pillars. This is the most magnificent place in Wei County.

It is also the government office where Yuan Shao lives.

Before the lobby, there is the five hundred zhang long school grounds, and the courtyard is still further away. After passing the lobby, and then following the corridor to the depths, there are countless courtyards.

It's like a small palace.

If there are people around the emperor overlooking this government office at this time, doubts will definitely arise in their hearts.

If, just to say if, this place is demolished, it may be enough to rebuild and repair the old capital of Luoyang. Of course, it can be repaired but it is not necessary.

After all, they couldn't beat Yuan Shao.

Inside the main hall.

The spacious lobby is entirely paved with wooden floors, and the ground is polished very meticulously, as if every piece has exhausted the carpenter's ability. The civil and military people lined up outside took off their shoes and entered, and servants placed the shoes in order from both sides.

It can be said that there are a lot of talents in the civil and military affairs in the hall.

Xu You, a famous scholar in Runan, Jushou and Cui Yan, a famous scholar in Qinghe.

Guo Tu, a famous scholar in Yingchuan.

There is also the land of Jizhou, Xin Ping, Tian Feng, etc. are all famous people. When they go to any princes or generals, they can be honored and supported and regarded as honored guests.

The gathering of these talents made Yuan Shao more confident in the great cause.

Above the main seat, the one with a tall chest, broad shoulders and a handsome face is Yuan Shao.

He was watching Wen Wu enter the hall, and sat down behind his copybook, in two rows, in a row, with incomparable style.

The leading counselors are naturally Ju Shou, Guo Tu, Xu You and others, who live behind the left copy.

The military generals are also fierce generals in the Hebei area, and they all gained a great reputation in dozens of battles.

Headed by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan, the rest of the generals are all powerful and fierce, and they are listed in the next row, but there is a lack of a position in the front row on the generals' seat.

It was General Ju Yi, who had not yet arrived at the meeting. At this time, Ju Yi, after the victory of Gongsun Zan's white horse righteous follower at Jieqiao, pushed his troops and horses for dozens of miles, and continued to separate from him. Withdrawal.

After civil and military sat together, some well-informed people already understood why all the officials were summoned today, because the civil servants stroked their beards and looked as usual.

Even Xu You, who was the first civil servant, was wearing a tan robe with a black lapel, and he was quite happy with himself, smiling, and glanced at his colleagues on both sides from time to time, showing a look of arrogance.

"Everyone," Yuan Shao's voice was loud, full of air, and extremely majestic. The moment he spoke, the originally noisy lobby was quieted down.

"Today's meeting was called for the edict of the emperor. The emperor sent an edict again, ordering me to lead troops to meet the emperor, repair the old capital of Luoyang, and return the rule of the Han Dynasty to stabilize the world."

"However, there are continuous wars in the territory, Baibo and Heishan are not settled, and Gongsun Zan is trying to rebel against the Han and kill Liu Youzhou. How can we meet the emperor?"

"Everyone, please speak freely. Is it possible to welcome the Son of Heaven, and if so, where should he be? Or, if we want to invest in the renovation of the old capital of Luoyang and try to help the great man prosper, what should we do? "

"My lords, don't wait to throw bricks to attract jade, Ziyuan will speak first."

Yuan Shao looked directly at Xu You. When he came in just now, he had noticed that Xu You looked confident and eager to try.

So he directly asked him to speak first, Xu You got the order, immediately stood up and handed over his hands, looked around and talked, "Soldiers, follow the rules of justice."

"Using troops in obedience is like a big wave hitting the shore, and there will be no disadvantages. If the emperor can invite him into Jizhou, all the princes in the world will be intimidated in the future, and they must not violate the emperor's will."

"Your Majesty, you can use the sharp sword of the Son of Heaven to wipe out the heaven and earth! You can build an inexhaustible feat. At that time, attacking and plundering the land were all regarded as the supreme meaning. No one in the world would dare not to follow, and the people would definitely follow. I believe that it is necessary to welcome Bless the Son of Heaven."

"Second!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and looked around. It was Jushou, a famous scholar in the second seat. He had a mustache and a thin body. His face was very thin and the outline of his bones could be seen. His hands were put into his sleeves, and he immediately looked serious. Dao: "The city of today's state is roughly fixed, with soldiers and strong men attached to it, and the west welcomes the big driver, that is, the official capital of Ye, and the princes are commanded by the emperor, and the beasts and horses are used to fight against the court. Who can resist it?"

Ju Shou didn't say much, but his words hit the point, making Xu You turn around and look at him with a smile.

exactly.

Take the emperor to command the princes, and then use troops to take the lead.

But now Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou are gradually under Yuan Shao's command. Jizhou is also a land of fertile fields, and the distance between cities is not far away. Except for waterways, there are no mountains separating them.

Such a terrain is simply blessed and unique!

Not to mention transporting grain, even traveling merchants in the city can be several times faster, and it will not be difficult to grow in the future. After hoarding grain and millions of stones, it will be used to garrison the army. Once the emperor is in hand, it will go smoothly Hit the stone, there is no disadvantage.

There is absolutely no one in the world as an opponent.

"Well said, it's a good sentence to coerce the emperor to order the princes, and Ju Jun is really straightforward in his actions, which makes me feel very relieved."

Ju Shou's face remained unchanged, his cheeks bulged slightly, and he lowered his hands.

The rest of the counselors were thinking, looking at each other, and kept looking. No one could guess what was going on in Yuan Shao's mind, and they didn't understand what decision he wanted to make.

But the words of coercing the emperor to make the princes are still shocking.

The most frightening thing was that these words came from Ju Jun's mouth, which was even more embarrassing.

It was not until a long time later that someone snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "So, isn't it the same as Dong thief?!"

After saying this, Xu You immediately stood up and turned to look for him, his expression was full of resentment, "Who is talking such nonsense in the hall!? Slandering my lord, he will be punished!"

The rest of the counselors were also startled, but they soon understood who spoke up. In Yecheng, Jizhou, there was only one person who had the courage to speak such wild words.

But it's good for him to speak up, someone has to refute Xu Youzhi's words, if the emperor really comes, Jizhou will only be more troublesome in the future.

Therefore, many counselors immediately sat upright, ready to watch the verbal battle between the two. In the past, due to political disagreements, the verbal battle between the two did not happen once or twice.

Every time it is extremely intense, it is difficult to leave, so now it is almost not much to say when we meet, and once we speak, it is mostly verbal.

"Xu You, I think you are the one whose heart can be punished," the person in the back seat continued to speak loudly at this time, "Now Jizhou is just complete, with hundreds of generals, countless civil servants, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is my lord. achievement."

"And if the Son of Heaven comes, shall we honor his edict? Should we garrison his soldiers and horses? If we are not to attack Youzhou, order Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng to fetch them, and then let them do Youzhou Zhou Mu, what should I do?"

"You only know how to control the emperor, but you don't understand that my lord has been eating Han's salary for generations, and has a high reputation. The so-called coercion of the emperor to make the princes say, isn't it to destroy the reputation of the Yuan family for a hundred years? To chill the hearts of scholars in the world?"

"The Son of Heaven is like passing on the jade seal of the country. It is unacceptable. If he can go to Luoyang, he will give money to repair and rebuild it. It would be good to offer it every year to show his loyalty."

"Ju Jun also stated clearly that my land of Jizhou is already strong with soldiers and horses, so why should the emperor come again?"

"Tianfeng!"

Xu You turned around on his knees, just in time to see Tian Feng's disdainful face, his eyes dimmed immediately, and he shouted: "This is the heart of a villain."

"Even if my Lord welcomes the Son of Heaven back, he can welcome him into Yecheng and treat him as the supreme one. If the Son of Heaven is grateful for the kindness of our Lord, he will definitely obey his words, and it is not necessarily coercion."

Tian Feng sneered twice, "Hehehe...Xu You, you are too narrow-minded. The emperor obeys, but what about the generals around him?"

"Which one of those people is not a meritorious guard, and sent the emperor all the way back east, should they all be named lieutenants, and when the time comes, all the land of Jizhou will be sealed off, and we will move to Bingzhou?"

"Ha ha……"

Tian Feng's words caused a smile.

But it wasn't his words that made him laugh, but the move to Bingzhou.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. It is not necessary to welcome the emperor. The name of Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, is his signature, and he cannot easily disrespect the emperor.

Once it is done, it means overstepping and making Yuan's reputation indelible. Yuan Shao dare not do this.

"The heart of a villain is really the heart of a villain!"

Xu You took a deep breath, and when he looked at Jushou again, he found that he didn't say much anymore, he couldn't see the depth, so he could only sigh.

Xu You was originally from Runan, and came to Jizhou with Yuan Shao. Back then, he and Liu Bei were old friends, and they planned a rebellion.

But one thing bad about him is that he is not from a distinguished family background, but a low-status scholar. When he was studying in his early years, the biggest classmate he knew was Cao Mengde.

At that time, although Cao Mengde was also in Taixue, because his father was the adoptive son of Cao Teng, the great chief autumn, he was considered a post-eunuch and was not welcomed by others.

That's why Xu You has a good relationship with him.

Although famous in recent years, it also has a bad reputation.

So after arriving in Jizhou, Yuan Shao still relied heavily on Xu You, but the other advisers didn't like it, they were always unwilling to accommodate him, and would underestimate his background and reputation.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Tian Feng immediately said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, we are already sure of victory, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou committed public outrage and suffered a crushing defeat."

"In less than a year, you will definitely have Youzhou in your hands. Holding the land of the four states in your hands, cultivating and farming, enriching the people and strengthening the army, and relying on Youzhou and Bingzhou to raise a large number of war horses. After a few years, you will send your army south. Who in the world can do that?" block?"

"Whether the emperor is in hand at that time, so what? And if the emperor is taken at this time, all kinds of obstacles will be held back. Will the officials return to Han nationality in the future, or will they be in the Jizhou government? If those royalist generals are sent to Jizhou, what should they do? So it must be considered!"

"My lord, please think twice!!!"

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he sighed loudly, "Tian Feng's words also make sense."

"Let's do it, Fengzhao!"

After Yuan Shao thought for a while, he made a decision, which surprised Xu You, and looked up at him expectantly.

Then he said: "Send Gao Lan and Zhang Yun to meet the emperor, but don't march fast. Sweep the bandits along the way, and focus on patrolling security. Drag them over."

"Tsk..."

Xu You sat down slumped, his eyes suddenly lost their luster.

This, what is this...

Either go directly, or refuse directly, and the imperial edict refuses to go quickly, and the march is delayed all the way, so it is better to be more agile.

Don't you still think this is a clever plan?Isn't this a drag?Could it be that the emperor would not blame him if he knew about it?

"My lord is wise! In this way, you can show your loyalty according to the edict, and you don't need to welcome the emperor to Yecheng. It must be a clever plan!" Tian Feng immediately bowed his hands.

At the same time, Xu You snorted coldly behind his back.
