Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 197 196 I am a Fighter!
Of course, Beiguo is very rich, and with the background of the Yuan family and the support of major families, to be honest, even the Beiguo at this stage can easily meet the conditions mentioned by Lin Mo.

The problem is that Yuan Tan can't represent the entire Northern Kingdom, or even the Yuan family. In fact, his current overall situation is not much better than that of Lu Bu. If it wasn't for the fact that he had just harvested food and grass, he might have fallen into a cost crisis.

The eating and drinking of 10 people is an astonishing number visible to the naked eye every day.

In fact, if it was normal, these sergeants would only keep the most elite part, and the rest would be pulled out to participate in farming, water conservancy construction and other matters, and some of them would even be registered and dismissed, and would be recalled when there was another war.

The advantage of doing this is that the expenditure can be greatly reduced. The disadvantage is that if a war starts, the preparation time will be longer, and sometimes it will even take a month or two.

But at what time is it now, Yuan Shang may strike at him at any time, how dare he dismiss these soldiers and horses, except for letting them harvest the wheat fields, he dare not send them farming and military affairs too far away.

This also directly led to a substantial increase in his expenses. As an army without the support of the Yuan Mansion, all Yuan Tan can do is to actively run around the Qingzhou family.

Therefore, he dare not agree to Lu Bu's price right now, hoping to lower the price.

Fortunately, during the Central Plains War, Qingzhou's cavalry was extremely well preserved. Even now, the number of [-] cavalry can still be counted. The most difficult thing is always the logistics problem.

Yuan Shang also seemed to be aware of this problem, and was about to start shaking mountains and shaking tigers.

He asked Pang Ji to come to Qingzhou in person, and ordered Yuan Tan to return to Yecheng immediately, and any military affairs could be put aside first. As the newly promoted military supervisor, Pang Ji would take overall responsibility for the war here.

This time, if Yuan Tan does not go to Yecheng again, he can justifiably announce that Yuan Tan is a rebel. This move is likely to cause a rebellion among his subordinates, because these people are not all Qingzhou soldiers, most of them are Once Jizhou people are declared as rebels, their family members will be implicated.

Furthermore, the noble families will start to stand in line. Of course, Yuan Shang does not think that all the noble families in Qingzhou will stand on his side, but after all, he is the heir of the Yuan family and the new owner of the Northern Kingdom, and he will definitely have more supporters than Yuan Tan.

In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off Yuan Tan's logistics lifeline.

The seemingly unnecessary persuasion to surrender is actually a hidden murderous intention.

This also made Yuan Tan deeply uneasy, he was not sure that he could really stand firm.

Fortunately, Yuan Xi was not involved in this battle for the heir apparent, otherwise, Yuan Tan might have no chance of winning.

"My lord, the time has come to break with Yuan Shang!" This sentence was said by Xin Ping, with his head held high and his chest held high, calmly.

"You mean that you can agree to Lu Bu's request and let him enter Qingzhou to fight against Yuan Shang? But what does this have to do with timing?" Yuan Tan was a little puzzled.

Inviting Lu Bu to Qingzhou was agreed early in the morning, and it was delayed for more than half a month just because he wanted to lower the price.

"Because, I'm here." Next to the Xin family brothers, there was a short, chubby Confucian scholar in a Confucian robe, with a friendly smile.

It was Guo Tu, he came from Yecheng with Pang Ji, and he asked for orders to go.

At first Yuan Shang could not make up his mind. Although Guo Tu was more liked by Yuan Shao, he had always been different from Yuan Shang. He was Yuan Tan's supporter.

But after thinking about it later, the situation is very different now, maybe he wanted to turn his guns on Yuan Tan and make some merit to show his position.

If you think about it from this point of view, Yuan Shang can still accept it. Although Guo Tu is from Henan, he still has the big mountain of the Guo family, which can attract many talents for him.

In addition, the current situation is unfavorable to Yuan Tan, he should have seen it, so he agreed with a slap on the head.

"Could it be that Mr. Gongze has a clever plan?" Yuan Tan was very happy to see his former supporter again, and hearing his wild words again, the dawn of hope surged in his eyes.

"Actually, Yuan Shang just wanted to cut off the support of the big families for the young master, so that Qingzhou could be dismantled from the inside, and even took down the young master without bloodshed.

What is he relying on? It is the appeal of the Yuan family, but now that he is in Qingzhou, Yuan Shangke may not be able to give orders as the head of the Yuan family. Guo Tu twirled his short beard, raised his head, and his eyes were full of mischief.

What does this mean?

Yuan Tan was a little confused about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

But seeing that the Xin family brothers also looked cheerful, as if they had the upper hand, they bowed to Guo Tu, "Please teach me, sir."

"My lord, where did you come from?" Simpi also began to sell Guanzi.

"Ye City."

"So, when the lord traveled to Xianyou, the lord was by his side. If the lord said something, it was Shenpei and Pang Ji who tampered with the lord's will."

There is no need to continue the rest of the sentence, because Yuan Tan was shocked by this half of his words, and his body froze, and he was stunned.

That's right, the matter of Yuan Shang's ascension to the throne was witnessed by Jupei and Pang Ji from beginning to end, but the two of them were originally Yuan Shang's supporters, and no one in the Northern Kingdom knew this.

Can you believe their words?

The problem is that the Xin family brothers and I have been in Qingzhou all the time, and you can't refute Yuan Shang.

But Guo Tu is different, he came from Yecheng, and he was by Yuan Shao's side when he died. As long as he said that the will was false, it could not be said that it would immediately change the opinions of the major families and soldiers, but it would certainly be true. Let this matter be covered with a veil of secret history.

At least, if Yuan Shang wanted to declare them as rebels as the new master, it would not work.

The only downside is that the Xin family brothers and Guo Tu are both from Yingchuan. Although they have made some contacts in the Northland over the years, they are definitely not as good as the authentic Northlanders like Shenpei.

It doesn't matter, Yuan Tan also has his own confidence in this point, he is Yuan Shao's eldest son, as long as Guo Tu testifies, he has the confidence to take the initiative in this matter.

At the family level, he has his advantages in these years, and the military has led the army for many years, and its prestige is by no means comparable to that of Yuan Shang.

After thinking about this question clearly, he naturally understood what the timing Xin Ping was talking about, and the timing was Guo Tu!
"Hahaha, good wow, with Mr. Gongze's help, I don't have to worry about my success!"

In the council hall, the four laughed loudly.

Guo Tu found the long-lost familiarity again. Since Yuan Shao's death, he has not had this sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for a long time.

Sure enough, gold will shine sooner or later.

"My lord, it's time to reply to Lu Bu and invite him to Qingzhou." Guo Tu reminded at the right time.

"That's the price."

Seeing that Yuan Tan was hesitant, Guo Tu smiled and shook his head, "My lord, those who achieve great things are so stingy with mere vulgar things, but [-] war horses, just give it to him, if these war horses can be exchanged for your son's status as the Lord of the Northern Kingdom , do you still think it is expensive?"

Yuan Tan rolled his eyes, and then laughed at himself, "The teacher taught me that I was confused, well, even if I gave him [-] horses, I still have [-] cavalry and [-] troops, so why not worry about it! "

Immediately doing what he said, Yuan Tan immediately turned around and returned to the handsome chair, wrote a letter of request for help, and stamped his own seal at the same time.

Just as he was about to go to the barracks to order [-] war horses to send to Lu Bu, Simpi stood up, "My lord, you must sacrifice the flag for important events."

"Sacrificing the flag? What do you plan to use to sacrifice the flag?" Yuan Tan blinked, at a loss.

"Pang Ji's head."

"That's right, it's the joint judge who tampered with the lord's will, and we must not let it go!" Guo Tu scolded sharply.

Well, the two great sages have spoken, so what are you waiting for, go find Pang Ji.

For Pang Ji, theoretically speaking, the best way is to win him over, because he is Yuan Shang's most trusted person. If he also turns around and says that the will is false, it will be more convincing.

But this is unrealistic at all, because he and Shenpei killed Shili's third son, Yuan Shang, in the matter of the will, and now if he changes his words, he will not only be ashamed of Pang Ji, but even the whole family will be shamed for it And shame.

So when Yuan Tan came to find Pang Ji, he didn't say a word of persuasion to surrender, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"What does your general want?"

"It's nothing, I want to borrow something from sir." Yuan Tan looked playfully at Pang Ji, the opponent who had driven him to a dead end.

"What?"

"Head on the item!"

After saying that, Qing Feng pulled out of the sheath, and the cold light flashed by, Pang Ji didn't have time to cry out the pain, and fell down straight while clutching the blood-splattered wound on his throat.

At this moment, Yuan Tan felt a great sense of satisfaction, as if he finally let out the bad breath that had been accumulated for many years.

There are still two shorts, trial match and Yuan Shang
Looking at Pang Ji who was still twitching on the ground but making no sound, the Xin family brothers and Guo Tu smiled at each other. Today is really a good day.

Afterwards, Yuan Tan immediately summoned the generals above the centurion level of the whole army to the martial arts arena to issue a declaration.

"Pang Ji and Shen Pei tampered with my father's will for their own selfishness, and made Yuan Shang the master. Now Pang Ji has been executed by me!" Yuan Tan held up Pang Ji's head, his gaze condensed.

These remarks were too shocking for these generals who only knew how to fight on the battlefield, and they were at a loss for a while.

Of course they understood what Yuan Tan meant, and they wanted to compete with Yuan Shang for the position of Lord of the Northern Kingdom.

The problem is, none of them wants to be declared a rebel themselves.

"I came from Yecheng. I was by the side when the lord was traveling in the immortals. I really heard the lord say that Mr. Tan is the son to take over the throne. I, Guo Tu, are willing to risk my life. Everything I said is true. !"

When Guo Tu said this, the whispers among the generals disappeared instantly.

It turns out that there are witnesses, it's not that the young master is talking to himself.

Many of these generals have been with Yuan Tan for a few years, and he is also good to his subordinates, so some people immediately responded.

Even after Zhao Rui and Han Ju exchanged glances, they raised their arms and shouted in support of the young master.

Once there is a leader, others follow.

So far, the linkage of the military spirit has been resolved, and the next step is to visit the major families to win more support.

Anyway, it will take some time for Lu Bu to enter Qingzhou, which is enough for him to deal with it.

That night, Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers had a chat over wine.

We are all from Yingchuan, with common enemies and common interests, so of course poetry and wine should be taken advantage of.

Moreover, everyone is a smart person, and now that this matter has been pushed to this point, it is time to discuss some details.

For example, how to support Lu Bu, how to gain his trust, and finally how to let Lu Bu gain a firm foothold in the North Kingdom.

Even if Lu Bu really grows bigger in the future, his own people in Lu Ying still have to form a group, and people from other factions cannot be bullied.

Finally, everyone raised their glasses to the strongest military division alliance!
Poor Yuan Tan is still looking forward to the vigor and vigor after regaining the Northern Kingdom. I believe that Yuan Shao has a spirit in heaven, and he will feel heartbroken for these idiots of the Yuan family.

"Sun Ce's tribute list this time is not thin. There are five luminous pearls alone, as well as various valuable treasures. After two defeats in Guangling, he can still pay so many tributes."

Cao Cao casually tossed the booklet Sun Ce handed over, and sneered, "It seems that there are too many internal conflicts in Jiangdong, and he has no choice but to attack Jiaozhou."

"Father, after Shi Xie was promoted to governor of Jiaozhou, he didn't come to pay tribute. Should he move his position?" Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao with lowered eyebrows, waiting for his order.

Cao Cao smiled, "Is it just because he hasn't paid tribute for several years?"

Cao Ang was slightly taken aback, and immediately guessed that Cao Cao would agree to Sun Ce's request, but why he agreed was definitely not as simple as a tribute.

After thinking about it in his mind for a while, he said confidently: "Liu Biao has long coveted Jiaozhou, and he will never sit idly by. Even if Sun Ce wins Jiaozhou in the end, the war between the two families will be even more intense.

Compared with Shi Xie, who can only keep his duty, Sun Ce's entry into Jiaozhou can better weaken the power of the two parties. "

Cao Cao finally showed a satisfied smile and nodded, "The Sun family and Liu Biao are feuds. The two families have been fighting for so many years and have not stopped. Once Jiaozhou also falls into Sun Ce's hands, then they will not fight each other again." It will be more convenient to travel hundreds of miles of waterway like before."

Shi Xie's position as governor of Jiaozhou was just an extension of Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to order the princes. It was originally to curb Liu Biao's further expansion.

As early as the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhu Fu, the governor of Jiaozhou, was besieged and beaten to death by the people because of excessive expropriation. The court sent a new governor, Zhang Jin, to take office.

At that time, Liu Biao wanted to extend his hand to Jiaozhou. Taking advantage of the fact that the court did not arrange a new candidate, he sent Lai Gong to replace the governor, and at the same time asked Wu Ju to occupy the position of Cangwu prefect.

Of course Cao Cao was not happy to see Liu Biao grow stronger, so he thought of using the Shi family to deal with Liu Biao, and appointed Shi Xie as the governor of Jiaozhou in the name of the emperor.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two parties naturally started working in Jiaozhou.

Originally, with Liu Biao as the backing, even Shi Xie from the No. [-] family in Jiaozhou could not do anything to Lai Gong. Who would have thought that there would be conflicts among them.

Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu who was also sent by Liu Biao, couldn't stand Lai Gong's domineering power, so he joined Shi Xie to drive Lai Gong away.

In the end, Shi Xie was able to secure his position as governor of Jiaozhou, and Wu Ju stayed in Cangwu because of this.

Therefore, from this point of view, Cao Cao actually didn't want the governor of Jiaozhou to be replaced, even if it was not replaced by Sun Ce.

But after these years, Cao Cao found that Shi Xie could only take care of the family and nurse the hospital, and he had no ambitions at all. The battle between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou he was looking forward to had not started for a long time. If this is the case, then you should let Xian.

"Sent an imperial decree to Sun Ce in the name of the Son of Heaven, saying that Shi Xie has not been in court for many years and has a different heart, let him go and do it."

"Here!"

Before Cao Ang had time to go out of the hall, Xun Yu came in, holding a silk cloth in his hand, and said with a smile, "Sikong, there is good news."

　Jiaozhou is definitely not as unbearable as some readers say. Liu Biao, who owns Jingzhou in the world, has long thought about Jiaozhou, and has also taken practical actions. Just like the article said, he sent Lai Gong and Wu Ju to take over. Use it as your own battle-ready backyard.

　　Not to mention Sun Quan, who later occupied the entire Jiaozhou and gave way to Zhishi as the governor.

　　In fact, Liu Zhang also had an idea, but he was so tormented by Zhang Lu, and there were so many internal conflicts that he couldn't get out at all.

　　Jiaozhou borders Yi, Jing and Yang prefectures, with millions of people in the seven counties. With the help of Quyuanli and keel waterwheels, it can definitely be built into a strategic backyard within a few years.

　　Moreover, Jiaozhou has not had a war for many years. In comparison, it is at least above Liangzhou.

　　One more thing, Chapter 2 will be updated at night, sorry, I'm on a business trip, I really don't have time
