Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times
Chapter 186 Fighting for the first place
Chapter 186 Fighting for the first place
"Zitai comes from Youzhou. I wonder what the situation is like there?"
The fire in the clay oven was burning brightly. Xu Jiashu picked up the heated wine pot and leaned over to fill Tian Chou's cup.
He is not keen on the wine table culture. After coming to this era for so long, he just drinks rice wine and rice wine as the Romans do.
The alcohol content of these wines is not high, and the taste will be poor if drunk cold. Especially in this cold winter, it is basically equivalent to pouring cold water into the stomach.
But it was different after it warmed up. Waves of steam continued to rise from the mouth of the wine bottle, and the faint smell of wine spread in the cold air. Tian Chou couldn't help but reached out and took it with his eyes shining.
It’s been a long time since we set off to have a drink.
"Liu Bo'an is a benevolent leader and is highly regarded by the people of Youzhou." Although he works as a hermit, when it comes to Liu Yu, Tian Chou's evaluation is still very high. "It's just that the greedy wolf is on the side but he can't be careful. I'm afraid he will regret it in the future." and."
"Greedful wolf." After hearing this, Xu Jiashu immediately understood, "Could it be that Zitai is referring to General Fenwu Gongsun Zan?"
Tian Chou put down the wine bottle and showed a look of astonishment - if his brain hadn't been frozen, this Xu Zimao should be a small prince from Liangzhou. How could he know so much about things in Youzhou?
"Zimao is really a wise man." He smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank a full glass of wine without saying more.
At this time, Gongsun Zan made great achievements in battle, beating the northern foreigners so that they did not dare to go south to herd horses, but he was suppressed by Liu Yu in various ways - he was both the Grand Sima and the Youzhou Mu who controlled the military and politics of the state. Can hold him to death.
The two people's attitudes towards foreigners were completely different. Liu Yu advocated gentleness and appeasement, and force was only used as a back-up. However, Gongsun Zan was reluctant to part with these military achievements that had long legs, and often disobeyed orders and attacked without authorization.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yu reduced the supply of military rations, but Gongsun Zan never suffered a loss, so he turned around and plundered the refugees resettled by Liu Yu to raise military rations. There was constant friction between the two sides, which was not a secret within Youzhou.
Before leaving, Tian Chou had a secret talk with Liu Yu, hoping that he would strike first, but was rejected, so he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he mentioned this matter - everyone in Liangzhou knew that Gongsun Zan was unreliable, but Liu Bo'an could never make a decisive decision. , It’s true that people have to die when comparing with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods.
"I wonder if Zitai has ever heard of this person?" Xu Jiashu continued to pour wine for him, "Changshan Zhao Yun, whose courtesy name is Zilong, is both wise and brave, and has the style of a national scholar. He should be joining the army under that Greedy Wolf right now. "
I have already inquired about it. Liu Bei was the magistrate of Gaotang at this time and was a serious court official. His immediate boss, the governor of Qingzhou, was a famous scholar named Jiao He. He was dealing with the powerful Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and had not yet gone north to defect to Gongsun Zan. .
In other words, Zhao Yun has not yet met the burly succubus, so he has the opportunity to strike first!
"Zhao Zilong", Tian Chou frowned and thought for a while, but shook his head, "Maybe I have lived in seclusion for a long time, and I have never heard of such a person."
"It doesn't matter." This answer was expected. Xu Jiashu didn't care and took off the sword from his waist. "If there is a chance, Zitai might as well give this sword to him on my behalf. Just say that Xu Zimao has admired him for a long time. "
Soon after, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu faced each other with swords. Zhao Yun must have been very disappointed with him. It would be best if he could take the opportunity to deceive someone. If he couldn't, it would just be the loss of a sword. Let's think of it as recharging his faith.
He dropped an idle piece of paper, and when the wine was full of wine, Xu Jiashu finally got down to business.
"Zitai did not hesitate to take a detour to Liangzhou and come all the way to Chang'an to meet the emperor." He looked at Tian Chou with bright eyes and asked, "Is it just to show loyalty to Liu Bo'an?"
When friends come, there is wine; when wolves come, there are spears. This is what Xu Jiashu said only in Liangzhou, and the fact that Yuan Shao supported Liu Yu has been spread. Even if Tian Chou did not mention his purpose, it is not difficult to guess these. .
"."
Tian Chou was used to it. Even if Xu Zimao guessed his bank card password, or birth date, he might think it was normal.
"Servant Liu He is Liu Bo'an's only son, and he loves him very much," he told him frankly. "If anything happens to him in Chang'an, Liu Bo'an will be furious. I am here just to take him back to Youzhou."
Xu Jiashu nodded.
This makes sense, how could the dignified son of Liu Yu listen to Wang Yun's orders.
It turned out that Liu He's escape was something that was tacitly approved by all parties - Liu Yu needed his only son to return home safely, and the little emperor wanted him to go back and persuade King Liu Yuqin.
Helping spread the word during the simulation was probably the price in exchange for Wang Yun turning a blind eye. Otherwise, as long as someone came forward and suspected that Liu Yu had tampering intentions, this would be to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and this matter would not be possible.
Should we let Liu He go back?
Xu Jiashu was still talking and laughing with Tian Chou on the surface, but he was thinking about this problem in his heart.
Historically, Liu He's escape was a complete tragedy.
In order to avoid the generals Dong Zhuo left in Guanzhong to guard the main roads, Liu He walked south towards Wuguan to exit Guanzhong, and ran into Yuan Shu who occupied Nanyang County.
This silly boy told Yuan Shuhe all about Emperor Xian's plan to return eastward.

Yuan Gongdao was always immoral in his work, so he was immediately detained and asked to write to Liu Yu to send troops to Nanyang to be under Yuan Shu's command, saying that he wanted to unite the troops and attack Chang'an westward to welcome back the emperor.
This telecom fraud extorted thousands of Youzhou's elite cavalry for Yuan Shu - you must know that Yuan Shao, who was at the peak of his strength in the future, could only use more than [-] cavalry during the Battle of Guandu. The victim Liu Yu suffered a huge loss. It can be seen.
At the same time, this incident also further broke the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, who was an opposition soldier, and even took this opportunity to form an alliance with Yuan Shu.
It can be said that the defeat of Liu Yu, the most powerful prince in the world at this time, was largely due to his eagerness to save his son. Liu He never saw his father again in his life and could only serve as a tool for Yuan Shao to win over Liu Yu's remnants. , disappeared after attacking Gongsun Zan, and was suspected of being killed by Yuan Shao.
Xu Jiashu didn't know about this, but that didn't stop him from deciding to prevent Liu He from escaping out of considerations of maintaining balance. While Tian Chou was having trouble, he gave Sun Zi some advice: "Go find some people, and after nightfall The four scattered Jixiu stars appear to be converging."
Jisu, the land of Youyan.
At other times, spreading such groundless prophecies will most likely be useless, and may even be looked down upon as uncreative - if you understand the simplest astrology, just imitate others and make insinuations, isn't it embarrassing?
But at this sensitive time, any rumors pointing to Liu Yu are not a trivial matter. Even if no fool believes in Liu Yu's destiny, it at least shows that someone in the court is suspicious of him, and that's enough.
Sun Zi nodded, followed the order and left.
"Xu Langjun!"
In the corner of the side door leading to the backyard, a perfect head suddenly popped up - this is a description that Xu Jiashu's art student friends like to use, and it is specially used to describe a beauty who can't find faults. “Someone is playing the piano in the backyard,” Diao Chan timidly asked in a low voice, “Can I stay in and listen to the whole thing?”
She walked into the backyard and found that it was not as spacious as other high doors for horses to gallop, and there were no groups of maids. She was a little disappointed, but when she got close to the pavilion, she heard a faint sound coming from the wind. The sound of the piano.
As an excellent singer, beauty alone is not enough. In order to be able to dance with the music, they also have profound knowledge of music theory. After just listening to a passage, Diao Chan felt that this was a wonderful sound that she had never encountered in her life.
Her family was in decline, and her life experience was in disarray. It seemed that all the sadness deep in her heart was evoked by the ethereal sound of the piano, making her wish she could find a place where no one was around and cry until she had no strength left.
"Play the piano," Xu Jiashu knew who it was as soon as he heard it. "Miss Cai's family lives in the attic, and she does this occasionally when the mood strikes. If Miss Diao Chan doesn't dislike it, she can stay and listen to it before leaving."
"Okay," Diao Chan nodded, as if she was afraid that he would think too much, and added, "I'll just listen a little longer and go back before dark."
Of course, the housekeeper can take care of the concierge and the nanny, but when it gets dark, if the other karaoke girls get together and find that she has not gone back, there will be too many people talking, which will be troublesome.
Xu Jiashu was about to say something to comfort this poor little boy, but suddenly another person came outside the door, interrupting his movements.
Look at that poker face that remains unchanged for thousands of years, who is it if it’s not Xun You or Xun Gongda?
"Brother Gongda," Xu Jiashu stepped forward to greet him, "Why do you have time to come here during the twelfth lunar month? Come sit down quickly, brother Yu."
Xun You looked around and winked at him.
The two of them understood each other and came to a quiet place in the backyard. Xu Jiashu wanted to get up and pour him some water, but he was so frightened by his simple words that he almost dropped the kettle to the ground.
"Zimao," Xun Gongda opened his mouth and said as soon as he sat down, "Mr. Dong wants to be a maternal relative!"
"Impossible!" Xu Jiashu denied subconsciously: "Dong Bai will not agree to marry the emperor!"
"Who said Dong Bai is getting married?" Xun You looked at him with a strange expression and asked from his soul, "Zimao doesn't really have any unclear relationship with her, right?"
It's not Dong Bai, you should have told me earlier.
That's fine.
"Brother Gongda, don't think too much." Xu Jiashu, who had come back to his senses, sat down and put his hands on his trembling knees to cover up his nervousness, "Dong Bai and I are innocent, bright, windy, and moonlit, there is nothing we can't do together. Things that outsiders talk about!”
I just hugged you once, and it was still the kind of hug that I only tried briefly. What’s wrong? !
Xun You didn't bother to expose him, he just gave him a "You drunk lion" expression and continued: "Wang Situ has been showing favor to the Dong family for some reason during this period, so they wanted to take this opportunity to go further and control the empty The position of general."
This was actually a polite statement. In order to completely dispel Li Ru's wariness, Wang Yun's behavior could be described as flattering. Not long ago, he even made a petition to the Emperor, hoping that Dong Min could inherit the title of Grand Master from his brother.
The Chang'an court only has such a small amount of territory in its hands. Even if Dong Min is given the title of General of the Universe, he will only be able to command a small number of people like the Xiliang Army. He can only pay lip service to things that are not real.
But I have to say that Wang Yun's hard work was not in vain, and his cooperative attitude was indeed sufficient.
Dong Min said that forgetting the Grand Master, even a hero like his brother could not deserve such honor and was killed by a traitor. However, if he could go one step further and promote the Hussars General to a General, he would Can better serve the Han Dynasty.
It has to be said that the Dong family after Dong Zhuo's death was indeed much more pragmatic. They did not seek to use force and titles such as "Shangfu" and "Grand Master" to dominate everyone. They just wanted to integrate tradition according to convention. I would be satisfied if I went into the political system of the country.
Specifically, as a foreign relative, he ascended to the position of general and legitimately exercised imperial power.
For them, as long as the situation improves slightly, this is the best choice. What's more, under Wang Yun's instruction, the scholars in Chang'an have stayed safe during this period and are very cooperative with them.
The situation is not a small good but a great one. When should I not be a foreign relative at this time?
So taking advantage of the twelfth lunar month, which was an auspicious time to talk about marriage, Dong came up with the idea of letting the emperor marry a daughter of the clan.
"Originally, Brother Yu was wondering why they didn't take out the direct descendant Dong Bai." Xun You glanced at Xu Jiashu, "Now I know what's going on."
It's Xu Zimao again.
You, you can always come up with something new for me.
"As I said, Dong Bai and I are innocent." Xu Jiashu quickly changed the subject, "In this case, how does Wang Situ plan to deal with it?"
Theoretically, it is naturally impossible for a woman who is a concubine to become a queen - this is not a female novel. The concubine is loved by everyone, and the princes and princes around her do nothing but hang around her all day long. There are also several imperial doctors. The guards are like licking dogs or something like that
But theories are just theories after all. When the emperor is alone, Dong Min is symbolically adopted into his own name. As long as the scholars have no objections, then the emperor has no objections.
"The blame lies here." Xun You looked at Xu Jiashu, seeming to conclude that he had some credit for it, "Wang Situ actually agreed with Dong Min's opinion, just saying that the emperor was young, so he might as well send him to Yeting first, and wait until the emperor reaches adulthood. Then canonize him as a queen."
Is this still the upright Prince Master?
"It's pretty good." Faced with Xun You's question of "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into Wang Situ?" Xu Jiashu blinked, "This way, Mr. Dong can feel at ease, and everyone doesn't have to have trouble sleeping every day. .”
Xun You covered his forehead, not knowing whether there was something wrong with him or with the world. The two most determined war factions frowned at the same time. Is it okay to protect him as a counselor?
"Zimao," he told Xu Jiashu seriously, "Brother Yu, I don't know what you are planning secretly, but the Dong family is despised by the world, and there is no chance of landing safely. You must know this!"
Xun You had no objection to the Dong family, and was not even opposed to the scholars temporarily relenting and waiting until they were sure of victory before taking action. However, if he wanted to fulfill his uncle's last wish, the Dong family had to step down. This was non-negotiable, otherwise the Guandong princes could continue to fight. Under the banner of rebelling against Dong and refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the Emperor of Chang'an, there will be no peace in the world.
Seeing that Xun Gongda was a little angry, Xu Jiashu had no choice but to explain: "I'm sorry that I can't tell Brother Gongda for the time being."
Chang'an must not be in chaos. This is his bottom line.
As a time traveler, Xu Jiashu is well aware of what is about to happen - Cao Cao in Yanzhou will rise soon, and Yuan Shao in the north will also occupy Jizhou. These two heroes in troubled times will truly take the center stage of history.
Although I can farm with peace of mind in Anding County, I may not be able to match the speed of Yuan and Cao's rise. Especially Yuan Shao, who holds the only political resources in the world. If they get the first move like the emperor, then What happens next is hard to say.
This is a race to the top.
