Xuande

Chapter 522 The husband is innocent, but he is guilty

Han Fu felt that what Yuan Shao said was reasonable, but he just thought that this war was meaningless. They couldn't beat Liu Bei at all, and it was meaningless to fight against Liu Bei no matter how much they fought.

So Han Fu asked Yuan Shao to settle down first, and asked Yuan Shao to give him some time to think.

Yuan Shao was disappointed that Han Fu couldn't make a decision immediately, but he didn't force him. Instead, he contacted local celebrities in Jizhou, contacted Yuan's disciples and officials and their related families, hoping to leverage Jizhou's resources for his own use.

Then, he adopted Fengji's suggestion and widely spread rumors in Jizhou.

Liu Bei is a real rebel, the current emperor is also a false emperor, the one who can really be the emperor is the prince Bian, the prince Bian was slandered by the despicable villain, so he let the false emperor ascend the throne, and the real idea of ​​the first emperor was always to let the prince Bian be the emperor .

Yuan Kai and He Jin unfortunately died because of resisting Liu Bei's conspiracy. The Yuan family was persecuted by Liu Bei. Now Yuan Shao raised the banner of resistance and was willing to call on the loyal ministers and righteous men in the world to fight against traitors and help the prince to the throne. Reshape the mountains and rivers.

They tried to convince Yuan's protégés, former officials' families and their close families that Liu Bei wanted to eradicate Yuan's family thoroughly, and that all people related to Yuan's family would be killed by him in one go. If they didn't resist, they would die.

So now we have to stand with him, Yuan Shao, we have to reach a united front with him, we must work together to survive and imagine a bright future together.

Yuan Shao and Feng Ji tried their best to contact the major families and spread rumors at the same time.

During this process, because Han Fu couldn't make a decision by himself, he asked his confidant, Jizhou Biejia Jushou, what his opinion was on this matter.

After thinking for a while, Ju Shou honestly answered that he thought what Yuan Shao said was reasonable.

"The reason why people in the world today have not acted is because the incident happened suddenly and they did not react. In another year or so, they will never do this. Moreover, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still there. Although the Yuan family in Runan has been severely injured , the family foundation is still there, and the people of the world are still afraid.

But once they are defeated by Liu Bei, everyone is dead, and the Yuan family in Runan County is wiped out, then some people with ulterior motives will no longer have the possibility to fear. , the old official and his family's doomsday, you need to be prepared for it. "

When Han Fu heard this, he became even more frightened.

"I have never had any enmity with Liu Bei. I even admire his teacher Lu Gong's performance in governing Jizhou. I did not participate in the confrontation between Yuan and Liu Bei. I just wanted to protect the environment and the people. I have nothing. Is it a mistake to do it?"

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty."

Ju Shou said helplessly: "As an old official of the Yuan family, you were supported and protected by the Yuan family and were able to occupy a high position. Then when the Yuan family is in danger, you will naturally be affected by this danger. This is a matter of course. , with your wisdom, how can you have no idea about this?"

Han Fu felt helpless and speechless.

After a long time, Han Fu asked Jushou a question.

"Then, Gongyu, do you think Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can win if they raise their troops against Luo Yang?"

Ju Shou was silent for a while, with a bad complexion.

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to say some inspiring words, but I really can't say such words. Liu Xuande's famous general started at the beginning of his life, but to this day, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have anointed the ears of Liang's children, and there is nothing worthy of praise. merit.

In terms of background, they are naturally in the upper reaches, but in terms of ability, they cannot be compared with Liu Xuande. They can't even deal with the bandits in Bingzhou. You can tell at a glance. "

Han Fu sighed.

"That is to say, no matter how Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu fight against each other, they will not be Liu Xuande's opponent? They will definitely lose? Yuan's disciples and old officials will be swallowed up in the end?"

After thinking about it, Ju Shou could only nod his head.

"I don't say absolutely, but ninety-nine percent, that's it."

"Is that so..."

After thinking about it, Han Fu felt that what Ju Shou said was very reasonable. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not like Liu Bei's opponents. Even an old fox like Yuan Kai died in Liu Bei's hands, which showed Liu Bei's exquisite methods and tyrannical strength.

Right now, Liu Bei is in control of the strongest army in the Han Empire. Once these elite troops who have experienced many battles are pulled over, it will be a situation of dimensionality reduction and attack.

Can Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's improvised grassroots team really stand against Liu Bei's mature political and military team?
At present, no one responds to the Luoyang court's call to attack Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but apart from Yuan's disciples and old officials, no one is out of their minds and follows Yuan's blind meddling, and no one wants to fight against the Luoyang court.

Obviously, everyone is waiting and watching, and at this level, the situation is even more brutal for Yuan's side.

Liu Bei can afford to lose.

He has Luoyang, Sanfu, and Liangzhou. If he loses once or twice, he will return to Liangzhou at worst.

Liangzhou is his private land, and no one can get involved. In Liangzhou, he is the absolute king, the absolute heaven.

At that time, Kai Xiao relied on a Liangzhou separatist regime to bear the four-year attack of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's army, which made Emperor Guangwu worry. King.

But what about Yuan Shi?
Once you lose, you will really lose. Runan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there is no danger to defend.

So, is it really okay?

After thinking about it, Han Fu felt that he couldn't meddle with Yuan Shao blindly, otherwise his life and the Han family would be liquidated by Liu Bei, and these lives would be given away in vain.

"Gongyu, I don't want to cooperate with Yuan Shao to fight against the imperial court. I don't think it's right, but as an old official of the Yuan family, I can't do anything to harm Yuan Shao. However, once Yuan Shao is defeated, my fate will not be good. , so now, what should I do to survive?”

This question really stumped Ju Shou.

This is obviously a triple dead end. With Han Fu's identity, he will be dead no matter how he goes, and there is no way out. However, Han Fu survives, and as Jizhou Biejia, he can't stay out of it.

Otherwise, if Han Fu is gone, will he, Jizhou, be able to take care of himself alone?

So Jushou thought about it seriously.

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered what Liu Bei wanted to pry the corner of the wall before, so his eyes lit up, and the spark of thinking bloomed.

"My lord, there is only one solution for now. If you want to ask for a way out, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

Han Fu asked quickly.

"Take the seal and ribbon of Jizhou, flee to Luoyang, surrender to Liu Bei, and ask Liu Bei to take him in. In this way, you can protect yourself and your family."

Ju Shou whispered: "This is the best way I can think of."

Han Fu was stunned for a moment.

"I am an old official of the Yuan family. Liu Bei killed many old officials of the Yuan family in Luoyang. If I go to Luoyang now, am I not throwing myself into a trap?"

"That's why you are going to Luoyang."

Ju Shou said slowly: "Although Liu Bei is tyrannical, he doesn't necessarily hope that all the old officials of the Yuan family in the world will follow Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to fight against him. He must hope that there will be fewer enemies and more friends, but what he did in Luoyang before What he did made it impossible for him to gain the trust of Yuan's disciples and old officials.

At this time, your appearance is a great help to Liu Bei. As long as Liu Xuande doesn't want to force all the former disciples of the Yuan family to rebel, he will definitely accept you and treat you well. Declared his position, divided and disintegrated the power of Yuan's disciples and old officials. "

Han Fu was taken aback for a moment, then elated.

"The words are justified, and the words are justified! Liu Xuande definitely doesn't want to force all the former officials of the Yuan family's disciples to rebel, that would not be a good thing for him, and didn't the previous announcement of the Luoyang court also say that? He is just eradicating rebellion, not targeting Yuan's disciples!"

"And have you forgotten? There is a very famous old official of the Yuan family who has cooperated with Liu Xuande for a long time."

Jushou pointed to the northwest of Jizhou: "The governor of Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo, is also an old official of the Yuan family, but he cooperated with Liu Bei early in the morning. Therefore, it should be safe for you to go to Luoyang."

Han Fu suddenly realized.

"That's right! Dong Zhuo is also an old official of the Yuan family, but this time, he was the one who informed the emperor, which confirmed Yuan's rebellion!"

"This matter must have been mediated by Liu Xuande."

Ju Shou said: "Dong Zhuo's nephew served as the prefect of Erqianshi under Liu Xuande's command, and won Liu Bei's trust. Many people know about this matter, but Yuan Situ doesn't seem to care much about it, so that the success fell short."

"So, if I surrender, Liu Bei will definitely not embarrass me?"

"Ninety-nine percent will not, and the remaining possibility cannot be completely ruled out."

Ju Shou laughed and said: "But it's better than waiting for Yuan's defeat and being implicated, and Yuan Shao is not easy to deal with. You stay in Jizhou, and you don't want to fight against the court. You will meet Yuan Shao in the army sooner or later. You are an old official of the Yuan family, and there will be troubles at that time, how can you be alone?"
