Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 54
Ever since Yuan Xi entered the door, Chen Gong, who had been extremely calm, lost his composure for the first time in his eyes.

He stared at Yuan Xi intently, as if he wanted to see something on the other's face.

Seeing that the situation was gradually being controlled by him, Yuan Xi hit the rails while it was hot: "I want to know, Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Mengzhuo (Zhang Miao) and Cao Cao have always been friends. Cao Cao once said that he could entrust his wife to him. Why did prefect Zhang want to rebel?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Gong and Lu Bu became even more restless.

They thought this matter was very confidential, and only a few people knew about it, but they were guessed thoroughly!
It's okay if the other party really knows the art of stargazing, but if spies appear among them, this is the most terrifying thing!

Compared to Chen Gong, it was Lu Bu who calmed down first.

He clenched his fists, and the chair under him creaked, but he said in a deep voice, "You'd better convince me."

"Otherwise, no one will want to get out of here today."

Qu Yi snorted coldly, and arched his back, like a beast poised to devour people, it might pounce on Lu Bu at any time.

The momentum of the two was so oppressive that Wu Zhao unconsciously shrank behind Yuan Xi.

Just when Wu Zhao thought they were going to fight.

Lu Bu and Qu Yi burst out laughing at the same time, and clasped their hands tightly.

"Marquis Wen!"

"Texas!"

Chen Gong stared at the two of them dumbfounded. The atmosphere that was still tense just now changed?
Lu Bula wrote Qu Yi, and said to Chen Gong: "This is Qu Dezhou, which led [-] people to ascend first, and killed thousands of white horse righteous servants at Jieqiao."

"I was under Yuan Shao's command with him in the past, and we were congenial. We had a few drinks, but I didn't expect him to be still alive."

It is well known that Yuan Shao set up a sword and axe to kill Qu Yi.

When Chen Gong heard this, he quickly stood up solemnly, and said: "I have heard of the general's name before, so I am lucky to meet you today."

A look of disappointment appeared on Qu Yi's face, "Thank you for your compliment, sir, but what happened back then is over, and I'm already half useless now."

Chen Gong hurriedly comforted him: "Where, the general's might is undiminished, if you have the general's help, why worry about the failure of the big event."

Just now a stone fell from his heart, if it was really Qu Yi, at least there would be no big mess in what happened today!

Qu Yi was framed by Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao was Yuan Shao's hardcore thug, the two sides would definitely be at odds!

Lu Bu's face showed anger: "After Dezhou was murdered by Yuan Shao, I was also suspected by him because of my meritorious service in defeating Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, so he asked someone to assassinate me."

"Fortunately, I knew the opportunity and left early, otherwise I would end up like Texas."

"These wealthy nobles are jealous of us and the generals, and they will cross the river and demolish the bridge after they are used up. They should be killed!"

At this time, there was a saying among the people in the court.

And cool military generals will mess up the world.

Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Li Jue, Guo Si, Ding Yuan, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang, Qu Yi, all these generals who have taken turns influencing the general situation of the world these years are all Bingliang generals.

The reason for this is that General Bingliang holds military power and has a large number of private soldiers.

The cause of this incident can be traced back to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and even Wang Mang before him.

Wang Mang spent a long time keeping a low profile, raising favors among the gentry, and the gentry spread his reputation for him. In the end, his prestige among the people even surpassed that of the emperor, so Wang Mang usurped the throne logically.

However, Wang Mang began to commit suicide, comprehensively implemented reforms, restored the Western Zhou Dynasty Wangtian system, banned slave trading, changed the tax system and currency system, and generally speaking, it was all strengthening the centralization of the emperor.

These measures greatly harmed the interests of the gentry as big landlords.

You know, Wang Mang relied on the gentry to get to the top position!

Seeing that Wang Mang was ungrateful to the gentry, peasant uprisings supported by the Han clan and other gentry sprang up everywhere, and one of them was Liu Xiu's Chongling Army.

In just a few years, Liu Xiu pacified the world and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu's experience is indeed a legend, but it has something to do with the support of aristocratic families all the time behind him.

However, after Liu Xiu came to power, he did the same thing as Wang Mang, emptied the gentry, kicked away the Hebei gentry who supported him that day, and abolishing Guo Shengtong was a means.

Therefore, Yuan Shao wanted to seize Jizhou first, which was also a reasonable choice. After all, the Eastern Han royal family had offended the Hebei gentry.

The imperial power originally wanted to use the gentry to rule the world and suppress the gentry, but the gentry also coveted the imperial power at the same time, wanting to grab the greatest benefits, and at the same time had to rely on the imperial power.

The two are such a complicated symbiotic relationship, calculating each other all the time, yet co-existing awkwardly.

After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he learned the lesson of the power of the three princes in the Western Han Dynasty. All administrative powers belonged to the Central Dynasty, and the emperor directly commanded the Shangshutai, successfully emptied the three princes. County soldiers, only retain the border army.

Therefore, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, only the Jingdu soldiers with the North and South Army as the core remained in the regular army, and the frontier defense army with the attached Hu people as the main force, that is, the soldiers of Bingliang.

At that time, it seemed that this move could effectively prevent peasant uprisings, but it also had disadvantages, that is, the frontier army dominated, and the Huns dominated by the Huns gradually became the elite of the army, and they were the Baosai Qiang Hu.

"Biography of Dou Rong in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty"-then the Xiongnu punished the Yi and rarely returned to the invaders, and the Baosai Qiang and Hu were all subdued and attached to them.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The northern and southern Xiongnu, who were defeated by the Western Han Dynasty, took this opportunity to recuperate, and their population gradually increased to millions. In addition to the more powerful Xianbei Wuhuan, the number of foreigners has reached millions.

You know, after brutal wars at the end of the Han Dynasty, by the time of the Three Kingdoms, the total population was only tens of millions!
However, the three kingdoms are constantly fighting each other, and their vitality is greatly injured. One ebbs and the other ebbs and flows, how can they not be chaotic after a hundred years?

Yuan Xi naturally knew about this period of history. Although he could understand Lu Bu's complaints, he had to admire that Yuan Shao and other gentry did have a little foresight.

At this time, no matter what the purpose of the world's gentry is to suppress and annihilate the power of military generals, it may be a crooked attack, because a hundred years later, the Wuhu Chaohua really happened.

After Yuan Xi traveled to this era, he had direct contact with the top gentry like Yuan Shao, so he realized how complicated the political situation in the world is, and it can't be explained by one or two sentences, one or two people's likes and dislikes.

Judging from the present, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, these people who can make a difference in life and death, which one will be a simple person?
Yuan Xi's greatest respect for them is that he tried his best to survive in this chaotic and difficult world, and tried every means to bite off a piece of flesh from them.

Yuan Xi sat up straight and said, "I've also heard about the matter of Marquis Wen. Now that we all have a common enemy, it's much easier to talk."

"I believe that Mr. Gongren (Dong Zhao) has said everything in his heart. It is reasonable for the two couples not to believe me."

"To show my sincerity, I can tell the two of you what I saw while watching the stars."

"Cao Cao will attack Xuzhou within a month."

"Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, must die within three months."

"After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei will get the support of the gentry and acquire Xuzhou."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu Chen Gong was even more shocked.

If it is the first sentence, it is not surprising that the two of them can roughly guess Cao Cao's movements because they have been hooked up with Zhang Miao for a long time.

The next two sentences are incredible!
