Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 154 Finally won Jizhou, Yuan Shao gathered talents
Inside the small government office.

On one side stand Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and Gao Gan; on the other side stand Ju Shou, Min Chun, and Geng Wu.

Seeing that Jushou came to do something bad, Xun Chen and the other five frowned.

Jushou also felt a chill in his heart.

In addition to Xun Chen and the other four, even Yuan Shao's nephew and Chen Liu's high-ranking official came!

Seeing Jushou's arrival, Han Fu felt a little ashamed instinctively. He didn't dare to look directly at Jushou. He didn't know if he was telling Jushou or trying to convince himself: "This old man used to be an old official of the Yuan family, but now his talent is not as good as that of the original. Rang, this is also the virtue that the ancient sages valued, so what's wrong with it?"

Ju Shou sneered: "Give up your virtue, and give up to a virtuous person!"

"Fang today, the national traitor Dong Zhuo is dictating power and usurping power. Yuan Benchu, as the leader of the allied army against Dong, doesn't want to send troops to the west to rescue him. It is disloyal!"

"Dong Zhuo killed the Grand Tutor and the elders of the clan. Yuan Benchu ​​didn't want revenge, but only wanted to fight for power and profit. This is unfilial!"

"Spring plowing is a major event for the country and the beginning of all the people. Yuan Benchu ​​did not understand the suffering of the common people in farming, but provoked a military disaster at this time. It is inhumane!"

"As the prefect of Bohai, it is unrighteous to let Gongsun Zan go south and sit idly by for his own self-interest!"

"It is unbelievable to violate the covenant with Qingzhou Mu and secretly plant Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and other villains to interfere in Wei County's government affairs!"

"How can someone be so disloyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, and trustworthy?"

Ju Shou scolded happily, but the faces of Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and Gao Gan were all livid.

Co-authoring this Jizhou, you are the only one who is a loyal minister, and we are all villains?
Xun Chen sternly said: "Ju Gonghe, Jizhou is in troubled times, we should choose a wise and majestic lord to save the people of Jizhou."

"Even though Mr. Han is talented, he is not as famous as Yuan's fourth generation and third prince, nor is he as powerful as Yuan Taishou's ability to gather talents."

"Since ancient times, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. In troubled times, you should choose a wise master. How dare you call me a villain?"

Guo Tu also said: "In the past, Yuan Taishou had the intention of begging for thieves, but all the heroes in the alliance had their own interests. Yuan Taishou couldn't go west to beg Dong. It was not a crime of war, so how could he be disloyal?"

"Yuan Taishou knows that the Tai Tuo and the clan's family are all in Luoyang, but he still acts as the leader of the Dong League. He abandons his family and cares about Dayi. He can be called a hero. How can he be an unfilial person in your eyes?"

"It was Gongsun Zan who provoked the military disaster, not Prefect Yuan. If you say that he is inhumane, it is Gongsun Zan who is not benevolent. What do you have to do with Prefect Yuan?"

"Gongsun Zan went south to lie about begging King Dong Qin, how could Prefect Yuan stop him? Now that Gongsun Zan threatened Han Shijun and sent Gao Yuancai to help him, how can he be called unjust?"

"We are originally from the same county as the envoy of Han, and we were recruited by the envoy of Han according to his talents, and we are diligent in government affairs. What do we do with Yuan Taishou? Why did we violate the covenant?"

"Ju Gongyu, you are arrogant and arrogant, slandering Yuan Taishou as unfaithful, filial, benevolent, righteous and untrustworthy, but still have a bit of a famous official?"

"Could it be that you have resentment in your heart because you have not been able to continue to be a part-timer, so you are talking nonsense here, can you be jealous?"

Xin Ping also said: "I heard that Liu Hui, who was in Jizhou's former administration, and Tian Feng, who was engaged in Dianxue, were recommended by Jugong and Qingzhou to go to Qingzhou. Both of them are great talents in Jizhou, but they went to Qingzhou to take up positions."

"Could it be that Mr. Ju had an affair with Liu Bei and intended to dedicate Jizhou to Liu Bei?"

Simpi laughed in unison: "It's ridiculous. We are conscientiously thinking of Han Shijun, but this ex-boyfriend only cares about Qingzhou. Who is unfaithful and unrighteous?"

Gao Gan sneered: "Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are both from the same family. Liu Bei has repeatedly prevented Yuan Taishou from entering Jizhou, presumably because he wants Gongsun Zan to be the shepherd of Jizhou."

"Now that Liu Bei's reputation has been taken away, as well as his money and food, it's a good plan to let Gongsun Zan go south to snatch Jizhou!"

"It's ridiculous. Han Shijun thought Liu Bei was a good person, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Liu Bei's scheme."

"Does Han Shijun still believe that Liu Bei will come to Jizhou to persuade peace like last time?"

"The ones you can trust must always be your fellow disciples."

"Han Shijun, don't forget, you used to be an old official of the Yuan family!"

"Jizhou was given to Yuan Taishou, you can live, but given to Gongsun Zan, do you still have life?"

Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and Gao Gan spoke out against each other.

Although Jushou has a talent for eloquence, how can he be the opponent of Xun Chen and the five of them?

Geng Wu and Min Chun are not good at eloquence, so they don't know how to fight back at this time.

Jushou subconsciously clenched his fists.

"It's careless! Xun Chen and the other five are not incompetent people. They didn't show their talents before because they looked down on Han Shijun. Now, in order to perform under Yuan Shao's command, they are all working hard to show their talents."

"If Brother Yuan Hao is here, I can still refute in unison. It's difficult for me alone!"

I thought I could use unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent, unjust, and untrustworthy words of questioning to suppress Xun Chen and his group, but instead they caught the loopholes in the remarks, which in turn made it difficult for Jushou to refute.

Han Fu saw that Ju Shou couldn't refute, and Geng Wu and Min Chun couldn't refute either, so he was inclined to Xun Chen and others' proposal.

"Gao Yuancai, if the old man sacrifices Jizhou, what will Yuan Taishou plan to do?" Han Fu looked at Gao Gan.

Gao Gan glanced at Jushou contemptuously: "Prefect Yuan is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable. After Han Shijun gives up Jizhou, he can be transferred to General Fenwu."

Han Fu was overjoyed immediately.

Although General Fenwu is a miscellaneous general, the person holding this official position is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of various armies.

Cao Cao served as General Fenwu in the fight against Dong Mengjun.

Yuan Shao's promise is tantamount to telling Han Fu that Han Fu will be the commander-in-chief of all the armies in Jizhou in the future, and he will still be in a high position!

"Prefect Yuan really said that?" Han Fu's tone was a little hasty.

Gao Gan said with a smile: "Mr. Han, you have given up Jizhou, how can Yuan Taishou be stingy with high officials and generous salary? You can't let people say that Yuan Taishou is ungrateful for profit, right?"

Han Fu was overjoyed: "If so, I am willing to give up Jizhou!"

Ju Shou was in a hurry: "Han Shijun, don't believe the nonsense of the high-ranking officials! How could Yuan Shao let Han Shijun you take the post of General Fenwu? This is simply impossible!"

But Han Fu no longer wants to listen to Jushou's advice.

Giving up Jizhou can gain a good reputation, and you don't have to face Gongsun Zan, and you can get a high-ranking general Fenwu.

What's not to like about this?
"Ju Gongyu, you are just a captain of cavalry in Yecheng, so you are not qualified to come here." Han Fu's tone changed: "Just now you cursed Yuan Taishou for being unfaithful, filial, benevolent, unrighteous, and untrustworthy. I will mention it to Governor Yuan."

"Stay back quickly!"

Ju grant that gas ah.

Seeing that Han Fu had turned his back, Ju Shou was annoyed: "Since Mr. Han insists on not listening to good advice, why don't you dismiss my Captain Cavalry, so that I won't be bothered anymore."

Han Fu snorted coldly: "You can hang your seal and leave, why ask for instructions? This old man is no longer Jizhou Mu."

"Zhuzi's inadequacy and conspiracy!" Ju Shou's anger reached the extreme, regardless of Geng Wu and Min Chun's persuasion, he shook his sleeves and left.

Seeing that the only obstacle had left, Gao Gan Xingye left Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao had already hidden his troops in Dongwuyang, and was with Cao Cao and Bao Xin.

Knowing that Han Fu was going to let Jizhou go, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing excitedly: "Meng De, Yun Cheng, how about going to Ye City with me?"

Cao Cao and Bao Xin's expressions changed.

"Hanwen Festival really gave up Jizhou? Didn't you encounter any difficulties?" Cao Cao doubted the authenticity of the news: "At the beginning, we should be careful about this matter, don't be careless."

Bao Xin also said: "It's unreasonable, Han Fu didn't ask Qingzhou for help?"

Gao Gan said with a smile: "With Xun Youruo, Guo Gongze and other scholars from Yingchuan persuading him, how could Han Fu think of going to Qingzhou? Ju Shou came to obstruct him, but Han Fu eventually repelled him."

Concisely stated the situation at that time, including what Ju Shou scolded Yuan Shao for being unfaithful, filial, benevolent, unrighteous, and unbelievable, and the senior cadres did not miss it.

But Yuan Shao was in a happy mood. Not only was he not angry, but he was quite amazed at Ju Shou's talent and learning: "Ju Gongyu was able to see through Ziyuan and Yuan Tu's plan, and such a wise man Han Fu didn't use it. What a mediocrity!"

"When I go to Yecheng, I will definitely invite Duke Ju myself!"

As long as he is in a happy mood, Yuan Shao is also a corporal who can get together and be respectful.

Cao Cao sighed secretly at this moment: "Benchu ​​personally invited Jushou, I have no chance, unfortunately, Jushou is not suitable for Benchu's command."

Cao Cao knew very well about Yuan Shao, an old friend.

Don't look at Yuan Shao who seems to appreciate Jushou now, but in essence, Yuan Shao and Han Fu are actually the same kind of people.

You can gather people, but you can't employ them.

Once in power, he will become arrogant and cannot tolerate harsh words.

Over time, no matter how Han Fu alienated Jushou, Yuan Shao would alienate Jushou.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had no intention of going to Yecheng.

"At the beginning, Yuncheng and I stayed in Dongwuyang for the time being, and we could deal with any accidents." Cao Cao found a reason and said, "After all, there has been no movement in Qingzhou, so I am a little worried."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "Liu Bei can't take care of himself, how can he take care of Jizhou? Since Meng De is so cautious, let's stay in Dongwuyang with Yuncheng for the time being."

"After I have stabilized the situation in Jizhou and expelled Gongsun Zan from Jizhou, I will send people to invite Meng De and Yuncheng to the banquet."

Yuan Shao was in a good mood and did not stay in Dongwuyang. He personally led the soldiers to Yecheng at starry night.

"Meng De, why didn't you follow Benchu ​​to Yecheng?" Bao Xin asked the question in his heart.

Cao Cao's eyes were deep and deep: "If we go to Yecheng, what identity will you and I stay in Yecheng? Are we like everyone else, shouting 'Minggong'?"

"But if you don't shout, you and I will definitely blame you and me for losing face in front of the civil and military forces in Yecheng."

"Staying in Dongwuyang, I will still think about taking care of you and me at first."

Bao Xin sighed softly: "It's a pity, if Meng Zhuo had half the astuteness of Meng De, you wouldn't have had a bad fight with Ben Chu."

When mentioning Zhang Miao, Cao Cao also sighed softly: "Meng Zhuo is used to speaking bluntly, so how can he know how to be euphemistic."

"But at the beginning, he tricked Gongsun Zan into taking Jizhou, which will definitely anger Gongsun Zan."

"Gongsun Zan is very powerful in Youzhou, with [-] elite soldiers. Once a fight starts, it won't be easy to end."

"At the beginning, although it was said that Liu Bei in Qingzhou was too busy to manage Jizhou, I always had an ominous premonition."

"Hey, suffering from the lack of resourceful people around to discuss important matters!"

Bao Xin reassured: "Meng De don't need to be impatient, after Jizhou is settled in Benchu, there will definitely be many sages who will come to vote for Benchu."

"However, these sages may not all be optimistic about Ben Chu, and Ben Chu may not all treat these sages well."

"Recently, I have seen Xu Ziyuan and Feng Yuantu under Benchu's command. Although they are both talented, they seem to be in harmony with each other, and they seem to have personal grievances."

"Yuan Cong has a jealous heart, which will make real talents jealous!"

Cao Cao immediately said happily: "Yuncheng reminded me, even if there is a talented person who does not want to follow Benchu, that is my honor."

"In terms of courtesy and virtuous corporal, I don't think it will be worse than the beginning!"

Because Han Fu offered the city on his own initiative, Yuan Shao took Yecheng without a single soldier and received Han Fu's civil and military troops.

Yuan Shao didn't "break his promise", and immediately named Han Fu as General Fenwu.

Yuan Shao also tried his best to appease the civil and military affairs in Yecheng. The officials who were appointed and the rewards were rewarded, which quickly stabilized the uneasy heart of civil and military affairs in Yecheng.

Yuan Shao didn't forget Jushou who was repelled by Han Fu, so he visited Jushou himself.

But Jushou was angry at this time, and he didn't want to talk to Yuan Shao at all.

Yuan Shao was not angry either, he just asked people to guard Jushou's mansion and not allow outsiders to disturb him easily.

As long as he is still in Yecheng, Yuan Shao is not worried that Jushou will run away.

The most urgent task is to find a way to lure Gongsun Zan back to Youzhou after being tricked.

Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Xin Ping and Xin Pi have just arrived, and they are quite harmonious with each other.

Seeing Yuan Shao's questioning, Guo Tu suggested, "Gongsun Zan falsely claimed that he went south to beg against Dong, so he certainly didn't bring much food and grass. Why don't you delay it for a few days, and send people to persuade Gongsun Zan to return to Youzhou when Gongsun Zan is short of food."

"If Gongsun Zan knows the fun, then that's fine. If Gongsun Zan doesn't, then don't go back to Youzhou."

"Presumably Da Sima is also very happy that Duke Ming will get rid of Gongsun Zan, the disobedient prefect of Youbeiping, for him."

Guo Tu's strategy is not poisonous.

Anyway, you Gongsun Zan went deep alone, without food and grass, no matter how fierce you are, you are just a sick cat who may be beaten at any time.

Xu You and Feng Ji did not refute.

It's not that the two of them don't want to make contributions, but that Guo Tu and others are newcomers, and both Xu You and Feng Ji want to be their allies.

Especially Xu You, Guo Tu and others were recommended by Xu You. At this time, Guo Tu must not be prevented from performing in front of Yuan Shao.

Seeing that no one objected, Yuan Shao said happily: "Gongsun Zan's plan is very clever! Gongsun Zan can show his teeth and claws in Youzhou, but he can only squat for me when he comes to Jizhou."

"To train tigers and leopards, you must first let the tigers and leopards be hungry."

After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again: "Gongze, I have heard for a long time that there are many outstanding talents in Yingchuan. I wonder if I can recommend some more talents to serve as officials?"

Guo Tu subconsciously thought of Guo Jia of the same clan, he hesitated to speak, and lied: "There are indeed some friends in Yingchuan, but they are not in Yecheng now. I will send someone to Yingchuan to deliver a few letters, praising Minggong for seeking talents. Heart, invite them to come to Yecheng."

Xun Chen looked at Guo Tu in surprise, wondering why Guo Tu didn't recommend Guo Jia.

But soon, Xun Chen regained his composure, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and said, "Duke Ming, my elder brother will arrive in Ye City in the near future."
