Lu's relatives

Chapter 242 Taking advantage of the trend in Qingzhou, Yuan Shaoyi sent troops

"How dare Cao A hide it like this? But after being an eunuch, he wants to compete with the Yuan family to welcome the emperor?" In the city of Ye in Jizhou, Yuan Shao, who was troubled by the increasing number of refugees, was traveling six hundred miles from Linzi with a Guo map. The information sent back in a hurry, only glanced twice, then slapped heavily on the table in front of him.

"Father, what did Mr. Gongze say? You made father so angry?" Now Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan is representing the Yuan family in the three-party coalition army, and the second son Yuan Xi is also preparing military affairs in Bingzhou and is ready to go to Hanoi at any time. , only the most beloved youngest son, Yuan Shang, has been kept by Yuan Shao's side since he was rescued from the black mountain bandits.Yuan Shang, who was serving at the side at this time, saw that Yuan Shao was furious after reading Guo Tu's letter, and asked hastily and carefully.

"Hmph, what else can there be? Lu Bu didn't want to be the great favor of his father for recommending him as Qingzhou Shepherd that day, and even secretly communicated with Cao A, and even lent tens of thousands of shi to Yanzhou at this time. What's even worse is that The secret conversation between my father and Jushou was discovered by A Mo's subordinates, and it was widely spread in Linzi, and in a few months, the whole world would know about it! How can we not be angry?" Although Yuan Shao is already Anger was bursting, but in front of the youngest son Yuan Shang who cared about him the most, he still managed to suppress his anger, restraining his anger and explaining patiently.

"Since it was a secret conversation between my father and my husband and my husband, there must be limited people who know it. If what Mr. Gongze said is true, someone must have revealed it on purpose." Guo Tu is a staunch supporter of the eldest son Yuan Tan. This is not a secret in Jizhou. Sending back such important news this time will definitely increase the status of the eldest brother Yuan Tan in Yuan Shao's heart, and because Xu You who "supported" him was "detained" by Lu Bu in Qingzhou, Yuan Shang is currently With the support of his mother Liu Shi, he can only pretend to be a filial son to compete with the two elder brothers at a young age. Although he is favored for a while, it is not a long-term solution.However, Tian Feng Jushou, the two counselors whom Yuan Shao relied on the most among the Yuan family's forces after the removal of the third of the four great counselors, had no intention of interfering in the matter of Yuan's heirs. Provoking a conflict between the eldest son's family and the two people who are deeply trusted by Yuan Shao but have no factions, no matter which party suffers setbacks, Yuan Shang is happy to see the success, so he pretended to be puzzled and said to Yuan Shao.

"My son is right!" Yuan Shao's eyes were also full of doubts, he nodded his head quite concerned, and ordered outside the door: "Come here, please invite Yuan Hao, Gong and the two gentlemen to come to see XX."

Tian Feng works in Jizhou, and Jushou works in Jizhou. The two share the same interests and ideas, one is tough and decisive, and the other is tough and resourceful. This makes Zixu You, Shenpei, and Fengji captured and raped by Lu Bu. After being subdued, Yuan Shao who lost his shit-stirring stick was a blessing in disguise. Although there was a Sima Guo Tu who would babble from time to time, but in a two-on-one situation, it couldn't influence the overall situation at all, and it also made Yuan Shao's soft ears To a certain extent, it has become an advantage that can make Jizhou tyrannical, and under the virtuous circle, it also makes Yuan Shao pay more attention to Tian Feng and Jushou.However, what is important is what is important, Yuan Shao cares more about his son's words than his confidant counselor.Besides, Yuan Shangzhi's words are very reasonable. To know the real purpose of welcoming the emperor, there should be no more than ten people.What's more, if this matter is confirmed, it is a crime of disrespect. Even if the emperor's power is gone now, it will be enough to tarnish the reputation of the old Yuan family, who has four generations and three princes, not to mention that there is a Tang who wants to seize the position of head of the family. Younger brother Yuan Shu was staring at him, if there was a slight mistake, Yuan Shao could easily fall into a passive position, so he couldn't help but be careless.

"My lord, I don't know what's the important thing to call Mr. Tian in such a hurry?" Tian Feng, as the driver of Jizhou, is busy with the increasing number of refugees in Jizhou, and now he is about to start a war, food, grass and military equipment, etc. Because of Sima Guotu's absence, the matter was also on Tian Feng's head. Tian Feng, who was over fifty years old, felt that his energy was exhausted. For Yuan Shao's sudden call, Tian Feng, who was stubborn and stubborn, naturally had nothing to do. angry.

"Mr. Yuan Hao has worked hard for the affairs of Jizhou recently. Shaozi knows it well. If there is no major event, he would not dare to work for Mr. Yuan Shao." A bit of dissatisfaction flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, but he still comforted Tian Feng with a few words He showed his handkerchief and silk to the two of them and said: "Your Majesty and Shao recently conspired to join forces with Lv Bu's army to get ahead of Mengde to welcome the emperor in Luoyang and wait for the opportunity to move to Yecheng. Sima who is going to Qingzhou Guo Tu has already sent back a progress letter, you can wait and see!"

"This..." Ju Shou was ahead of Tian Feng, and took it respectfully. As soon as he opened it, his eyebrows immediately frowned. It was obvious that Linzi had already given what he had offered to Guo Tu to "take the emperor to command the princes" Zhi Ce, who was surprised by the announcement to the public, glanced at Yuan Shao, who had closed his eyes and made no expression, then read on, finally finished the short letter of more than a hundred words, Ju Shou's face was full of doubts Bu, and Tian Feng, who was also shocked by the news, looked at each other, and said after consideration: "If this is true, then someone must have leaked the news, intending to prevent the lord from welcoming and saving the emperor from danger, and using it to Cheng Baye's plan is extremely deliberate! However, although there are not enough people who know about it, there are also many people who are interested in seeing the action of the lord. Slandering the reputation of the lord prevents the lord's great cause."

"What Gongyu said is not unreasonable!" Yuan Shao had already relied heavily on Tian Feng and Jushou. With no one to restrain them, their many suggestions did indeed strengthen Jizhou's military strength a lot. When the severe drought was raging, he was able to stick to Gongsun Zan in fierce battles, and he owed much to the merits of these two. Yuan Shao's suspicion at the beginning was just a flash in his mind, and now he listened to Jushou's explanation, and he felt quite reasonable. Said: "Whether it was leaked or guessed, don't worry about him for the time being. Now that the matter has been revealed, I am afraid that it will spread all over the world soon. It will be very detrimental to Yuan's reputation. Two great talents, Is there a way to resolve it? Could it be that if you really want to do what Guo Tu said in the letter, the only way to prove your innocence is to give up this matter?"

"My lord, Guo Tu speaks nonsense, he really deserves to be killed!" Tian Feng heard the hidden words in Yuan Shao's words, and seemed to be shrinking back. He immediately frowned, and said without hesitation: "What Guo Gong said is all words that harm the country. This happened because Lu Bu of Qingzhou was worried that he would be liquidated by his lord if he offended Cao Cao. Time! In contrast, Lu Bu has the hatred of seizing the army, the hatred of captives, the shame of coaxing, and the humiliation of occupying land. He has concerns and does not want to act together with Jizhou. , success or failure does not affect the overall situation, what you are asking for is just to use the Qingzhou incident to make Cao Cao doubtful and buy time for the lord to march. From this point of view, if Lu Bu's act of giving Cao Cao food is true, it can be explained. It must be Cao Cao If you want to take advantage of the news from Linzi and the secret discussion of Lv Bu, who is still entangled with you, you can not only offend the lord publicly, but also achieve your goal."

"Yuan Hao's words are right!" Ju Shou nodded and continued: "Cao Cao has always been good at scheming and is very familiar with manipulating people's hearts. , It is very easy to be deceived by false appearances, the lord must investigate! As for whether to give up welcoming the emperor, I have already said that the lord wants to become a king, and it is difficult to last without the banner of righteousness. If the emperor is in Yecheng, The lord's words and deeds can also represent the will of the emperor. At that time, all you need to do is to get together the heroes of Hebei, raise a large army to conquer the rebels on behalf of the heavens, and within a few years, the world will surely be pacified! At this time, there are only a few rumors. Can Guo Tu destroy the future great cause of the lord just because of Guo Tu's carelessness?"

"What the two gentlemen said really appeals to me. Yes, this is indeed Meng De's usual style. Guo Gong is quite capable in state affairs. If it comes to scheming and resourcefulness, he is indeed not Meng De's opponent. Old friend... In this case, how should we solve this matter?" Yuan Shao seemed to be moved by Tian Feng and Jushou, especially the blueprint that Jushou drew for Yuan Shao to calm the world within a few years , not only made Yuan Shao nod repeatedly, but also listened to him. Yuan Shang, who was not qualified to speak at the moment, also had his eyes glowing.Today is the first time Yuan Shang has heard these two great counselors who have always been ignorant of flattery and have rejected his elder brother and second brother many times talk about it. Chu Zhong is in an invincible position, not to mention if his father Yuan Shaoping really ruled the world... Yuan Shang has now made up his mind that no matter what means he uses, he must pull these two into his chariot come up.

"My lord was humiliated by Lu Bu several times at the beginning, but he was still able to focus on the war without distraction, so now most of Hebei belongs to the lord, and Liu He, the shepherd of Youzhou, also took refuge in Jizhou. This time, an army of [-] swept across Youzhou. I believe it will not take a few months. Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, is dead The army will surely be wiped out, and by then all the land in the north will be in the lord's pocket, so why should Liu He worry about it?" Seeing that Yuan Shao was moved by Ju Shou's words, Tian Feng was still worried, so he added fire , Said: "In my opinion, since Cao Cao came up with this plan, it was just because he was stuck on the matter of Chang'an and wanted to hold back the pace of the Lord with the matter of Qingzhou! And Lu Bu was trapped in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Although his fangs are sharp, but Because of the rapid expansion, there is more than enough self-preservation and insufficient aggressiveness. In fact, it will not pose a threat to the lord. Now that the battle in Jizhou is about to be settled, the soldiers are sufficient, the food and grass are abundant, and the morale is high. It is time to take the opportunity to send troops to Hanoi to form a north-south attack with Cao Cao. At the same time, he ordered a general to garrison Baima in order to deter Yanzhou. When the momentum came true, he sent a letter to Yuan Shu in Huaisi, ordering him to send troops to the north to attack Yanzhou. This will surely force Cao Cao to retreat and protect himself. .”

"Highway? This..." Yuan Shao was very moved by Tian Feng's assertion, but when he heard that Yuan Shu was involved, he suddenly showed hesitation.

"My lord, Yuan Gonglu and Cao Cao have a hatred of ruining their foundation and pursuing and killing them thousands of miles away. If Cao Cao's power is empty, he will make a change. Moreover, he was intimidated by an unknown soldier Qin Xu when he fought with Lu Bu in Xuzhou. He just wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge At that time, Yuan Gonglu's attack on Yanzhou could also make Qingzhou worry that he would attack Xuzhou, so Lu Bu's army would not dare to move. Besides, even if the lord did not send a letter to inform him, could it be that Yuan Shu would not know about it?" Tian Feng said lightly, although the words were not very pleasant to listen to, they really touched Yuan Shao's heart.

"It has been a year since the emperor fell into the hands of thieves. Shao sighed day and night and was extremely worried. The time has come and there is no need to delay. I have made up my mind. I ordered Chunyu Qiong to lead [-] infantry troops to Baima, and Yan Liang led [-] cavalry from Bingzhou as the vanguard. , Shaozi led the Chinese army with [-] cavalry, with Wen Chou and Gao Lan as generals, Ju Shou as military advisers, Liu Tianfeng and Yuan Shang guarding Yecheng, and ordered Chen Lin to write an article about Yuan's ambition to spread to the world, and immediately sent troops to Hanoi, ready Attack Chang'an directly, save the emperor from the hands of thieves, protect the emperor and return to the old capital!"

"promise!"
