Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 309

After Zhuge Xuan heard the news of Zhu Hao's death, his mind became active again. Since Ruo Rong was reversed, he might not have no chance!

But hearing that Zhuge Liang objected to staying in Yuzhang, he was puzzled and said: "Ze Rong killed Zhu Hao and turned against Liu Yao. Liu Yao should lead troops to attack him, right?"

"When the time comes, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and just sit back and reap the benefits?"

"Maybe Liu Yao will make friends with us in order not to make enemies on both sides?"

Zhuge Liang heard this, and said: "Uncle's previous sentence is correct. Ruo Rong's actions are outrageous, and with Liu Yao's character, it is very likely that he will raise troops and come here."

"But my uncle's thinking behind it is very problematic."

"Why did Liu Yao want to befriend his uncle?"

"You know, the actions of Yuan Gonglu, whom my uncle has taken refuge in, are probably plotting something wrong."

Zhuge Xuan's face froze, "Before I took office, I didn't know he would do such a terrific job!"

"I'm afraid he is going to establish himself as an emperor!"

Zhuge Liang heard this, and said: "If Yuan Gonggong really becomes emperor, Zhuge's family will be trapped on this boat!"

"At that time, he will be the enemy of everyone in the world. If uncle follows, he will be dragged into trouble!"

Zhuge Xuan was still lucky, "Now that the Han Dynasty has collapsed, what if Yuan Gonglu really succeeds?"

"What's more, he has the kindness to know me, how can he betray him at this time?"

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhuge Xuan was obsessed with his obsession, and persuaded him bitterly, "Looking at Yuan Shu as a man, he is courageous but without plan. He is so ambitious that even Sun Ce can't control him. Disasters will surely happen in the future."

"Yuan Shu has the heart of a jackal, but Sun Ce is a tiger and wolf. Now Yuan Shu can't control Sun Ce. When Sun Ce becomes powerful, Yangzhou will be in danger."

"Liu Yao's tens of thousands of soldiers are staring at him, Ruo Rong is a capricious villain, and Sun Ce has great ambitions. With uncle's current situation, how can he survive in the cracks between the three parties?"

"For the current plan, leave Yuzhang as soon as possible, so as to have a chance of survival."

Zhuge Xuan knew that his nephew had an old-fashioned view of the world, and even he was not as good as him, so he made a move at the moment, but after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang didn't miss it at all. In Feixian City earlier, his group and his party were not caught by Tao. Are Qian Jun and Cao Jun blocked?
He thought for a while, and then said: "Although what my nephew said is very reasonable, but until the last moment, no one knows the result."

"I decided to wait until the end to have a look, in case nothing can be done, there is still time to escape."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, he still couldn't understand the world and turn the tide.

Zhuge Xuan said, "But my nephew doesn't have to follow me."

"If, as you expected, I killed you because of my own selfish desires, how can I be worthy of your dead father?"

"Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng is on good terms with me, and I want to send you to Jingzhou for refuge, so that in case of any accident, my Zhuge family will not be trapped here."

Zhuge Liang knew that Zhuge Xuan had made up his mind, so he nodded in agreement.

A few days later, under the escort of a group of soldiers, Zhuge Liang took Zhuge Xuan's personal letter, took Zhuge Jun and his two sisters out of Xicheng, and went to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

Chen Deng's letter was also sent to Yuan Xi who was training in Jicheng.

After reading it, he handed it to Guo Jia, and said, "What do you think of the struggle between the two factions in Guangling County?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Isn't this kind of situation most in line with your wishes?"

"My lord opens righteous schools and spreads the words of a hundred schools of thought, how can these families be allowed to dominate?"

"As long as the two sides don't cross the line, it will be more beneficial for the young master to come out to clean up the situation when both sides have breath at the end of the fight, right?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mr. still knows me, but it's hard to control the scale inside. I hope Mr. Yuanlong can control the situation."

Guo Jia said: "The talent of Yuanlong is enough to be able to stand on his own, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"On the contrary, Ziyi crossed the river alone to help Liu Yao. His courage is admirable."

Yuan Xi sighed: "He was worried that Sun Ce would attack and destroy Liu Yao, and he also went there for the few people mentioned in my letter."

"As long as those few people can get one, they will make a lot of money. If they can win Lu Xun over, then I will be really satisfied."

After hearing this, Guo Jia asked in confusion, "That 14-year-old boy from the Lu family?"

"His grandfather, Lu Kang, has resisted Sun Ce for two years. More than half of the members of the Lu family have been killed or injured, but I haven't seen what Lu Xun has."

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Perhaps it's because he is not senior enough to show his talent."

"The current head of the family is Lu Ji, and Lu Xun is his son and nephew. Although he is in charge of the family on his behalf, it should be after Lu Kang's death."

"But speaking of it, if the world still has enough to inherit the master's lifelong learning, this person can be ranked in the top three."

Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Yuan Xi to have such a high opinion of this Lu family son, but finding someone in this county depends on luck, Guo Jia didn't take it to heart after hearing this.

Right now, he was most worried about another matter, so he said, "Mr. Han Yu should have seen Lu Bu."

"If things go well, we can start dealing with the Black Mountain Army when the news comes back."

"But if Lu Bu refuses to join forces, or even helps the Black Mountain Army, it will be very troublesome."

Yuan Xi also didn't know what to do, because Lu Bu often acted according to his preferences, making it difficult to predict his actions.

He said: "Lu Bu's power is very important in catering to the emperor."

"If more than half of Bingzhou can't satisfy him, I'm ready to pay a higher price."

Guo Jia suddenly thought of something, and his expression was strange.

Yuan Xi asked curiously, "What do you think sir?"

Guo Jia suppressed a smile: "I dare not say."

Yuan Xi was at a loss, "Is there anything I dare not say, why have I ever cared about these things?"

Guo Jia smiled wryly and said, "Young master got married early, and it's too late now. If I say so, I'm afraid Mrs. Zhen will hate me."

Only then did Yuan Xi understand, and almost spit out the tea in his mouth: "Sir, you really dare to think about it."

Guo Jiali said bluntly: "What's the matter, the marriage of the two families is the best guarantee for joining forces."

"If my son can marry Lu Bu's daughter, it will not only destroy Yuan Shu's cooperation plan with Lu Bu, but also take Lu Bu's power into his own hands."

"And with the current prestige and ability of the young master, isn't he better than Yuan Shu's son?"

Yuan Xi sighed, "Now that I'm married, I'm afraid this kind of strategy won't work anymore."

A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, "Sir, you still have too many worries. Those who make big things don't care about trivial matters. If you want to subdue Lu Bu, the best choice is to divorce Mrs. Zhen and marry a girl from the Lu family, or let Mrs. Zhen take the position of wife. Get out."

"Anyway, the Zhen family can't say anything in front of the Yuan family."

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded, Guo Jia's idea was too cruel!
He recalled the scene when he met Lu Lingqi, and said with a wry smile: "Don't let Madam hear this, how can I do such a thing."

After hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head with regret: "This will indeed affect the reputation of the young master. If we do it now, the loss outweighs the gain."

"But if you are really cornered, there is no way out."

"Young Master, you should be less heroic to fight for world hegemony. This choice will save a lot of people from dying."

"Young Master, look at how Emperor Gaozu, Liu Xuande and others treat their wives and concubines, and then you can understand the attitude that those who compete for the world should have towards the women around them."

Yuan Xi felt a little heavy in his heart, Guo Jia made it very clear that wives and concubines are like clothes, for the great cause, they can all be discarded.

He said shyly, "I still want to try another path."

Guo Jia laughed when he heard this.

"My lord, I admire that very much."

"Although Jia felt that the young master's choice was not the best, he never lost his mind."

"In the past, Jia felt that the son was a bit benevolent, but after a few years, Jia found that he was a bit arbitrary."

"Young master has walked this path, which may not be worse than what Jia said, after all, Jia is not a person who has no plans."

"If the young master becomes a figure like Gaozu, Jia is a little worried, whether he will end up like a dead dog in the future."

"Nowadays, the young master has a little more human touch in his actions. For us subordinates, it is more reassuring."

Yuan Xi heard profusely, and said: "Mr. Xie for guidance."

Guo Jia sat up straight and said, "The key to attacking the Black Mountain Army is Lu Bu, but it is Yuan Shu who decides Lu Bu's attitude."

"Lü Bu's attitude is ambiguous, Yuan Shu is also in a hurry, and now he is sending Zhang Xun, Qiaorui and others to the northern part of Yuzhou to threaten Lü Bu."

Yuan Xi's heart moved, "The situation of the marriage between the two families is unclear. Yuan Shu's move is probably not because he also covets the emperor Liu Xie who is returning to the east at the same time. I am afraid that there are Yuan Shu's people around the emperor who should cooperate."

Guo Jia praised: "My son is wise, if Yuan Shu wants to proclaim himself emperor, it would be more justifiable if he made a show of abdication, so the emperor is a bit dangerous."

"But who is Yuan Shu's nail beside the emperor, Jia doesn't know."

Yuan Xi said: "There may be Yang Feng Hanxian."

Guo Jia showed a hint of surprise on his face. He guessed that Yuan Xi must have an independent information channel, so he could be so sure that his master is not easy!

Seeing that Guo Jia was bluffed, Yuan Xi was secretly proud.

He himself really has a nail, that is Dong Zhao, who now follows Zhang Yang to welcome the emperor and is named a servant.

But for Dong Zhao's personal safety, Yuan Xi never had any contact with Dong Zhao.

The reason why he could guess the person Yuan Shu placed was thanks to the knowledge of later generations.

Yang Feng, Hanxian and Cao Cao competed for the emperor, and after being defeated, they took refuge in Yuan Shu, which shows that there was some collusion between the two sides before.

What Yuan Shu infiltrated in advance was the power of the Baibo thief!

The princes of this era do not have a fuel-efficient lamp. Not only can everyone be able to fight, but even diplomacy and eyeliner placement have their own merits.

Not to mention Yuan Shu, Cao Cao is more powerful than Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Xi hadn't acted early, Dong Zhao would have become Cao Cao's man long ago.

Even if there is no Dong Zhao, there is still Dong Cheng, who was the first to send a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to please the emperor.

Yuan Xi was also surprised. Most of Dong Zhuo's surnames belonged to the Dong Zhuo clan, but in the end they all favored Cao Cao. The reason behind it should be very difficult to explain.

He had an idea at the beginning that the positions of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao were actually the same at the beginning. They were both hardcore royalists. Cao Cao was able to open up the relationship with the Dong clan, and his diplomatic and intelligence capabilities should not be underestimated.

And the peak of its vertical and horizontal strife is that after Yuan Shu became emperor in later generations, Sun Ce immediately turned his back on Yuan Shu. Among them, there is the shadow of Cao Cao. The evidence is that after Yuan Shu's defeat, Cao Cao and Sun Ce immediately married.

Cao Cao obviously looked down on Sun Ce, otherwise he wouldn't have commented on Sun Ce like "It's difficult for a child to fight for the front".

Rabbit, rabies also. -- "Shuowen Jiezi"

I think Sun Ce is a mad dog, and he can marry him. In addition, Cao Cao married Zhang Xiu, who killed his son Cao Ang.

It can only be said that in order to achieve his goal, Cao Cao had the kindness that Yuan Xi thought was unattainable.
