Lu's relatives

Chapter 521 Turning the world upside down, chaotic wars attack ([-])

Hebei is a big cake, and it would be a lie to say that you are not envious. As we all know, Yuan Shang entered the Bohai Sea alone and gathered the soldiers from Nanpi to capture Yecheng. It took him nearly three years. In just half a year, he took advantage of the richness of Jizhou and the elite soldiers to conquer Bingzhou, attack Youzhou, and fight like a raging fire with Gongsun Zan, his once "intimate" ally against Dong. The outcome of the battle between the two is really hard to say.

Now that Yuan Shao died before he succeeded in hegemony, the three sons left behind were plotting against each other, and none of them had the courage to inherit the family business that had already spanned the two prefectures of Hebei and one part of Youzhou. He and Yuan Shao's reinforcements flattened the entire territory of Youzhou with the "help" of Liu Bei's three brothers, but despite this, there are still Jizhou, which has not experienced wars since the Yellow Turban, and Bingzhou, which is rich in good horses, is coveted by people. Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan, who have taken advantage of all the advantages, control the two states even if they don't know how to practice virtue. Just like a boy holding gold and silver, they have fallen into the schemes of many people.

Afterwards, there was chaos in Hebei, and the Yuan brothers attacked each other, giving the surrounding forces, especially Cao Cao, who urgently needed to transfer the internal courtiers' conflicts with the army, and Liu Bei, who dreamed of having a real "useful place" of his own. Opportunity for a "big meal".It's just that the Yuan brothers, who have suddenly realized it at this time, are already powerless.He could only settle for the next best thing, and seek a backer who could maintain the status of the Yuan family without embarrassing the troubled brother too much.However, the two brothers are worthy of being Yuan Shao's parents and sons. They have learned a lot from Yuan Shao's temperament of doing great things but sacrificing his life, and seeing small gains but forgetting righteousness. The general situation in Hebei panicked, and at the same time, it also gave an excellent opportunity to those who cared.

Of course Yuan Shang is the caring person.The third son of the Yuan family, who was very fond of Yuan Shao at the beginning and wanted to keep the foundation of the business several times, when he and his mother Liu were expelled from Jizhou by Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, in fact, within the Yuan family, they had completely lost their inheritance. Qualifications".If it weren't for Yuan Shao's diehard loyalty, it is still unknown whether Yuan Shao would have been able to reach Qingzhou safely with the protection of Tian Fengjushou, two well-known figures entrusted by Gu Ming before Yuan Shao passed away.

Don't say that Mrs. Liu, who has already paved the way for her precious son, is not reconciled!Even Tian Feng and Ju Shou, who thought they were entrusted by Yuan Shao at the end of his life, including Yuan Shang who was still young at that time, who would be willing?
But the situation is stronger than people!Yuan Tan owns Bingzhou, which is one of the famous war horse producing areas in the whole Han Dynasty. It is no less than Youzhou, which is dominated by the most cavalry. Moreover, it is said that Yuan Tan also has an unclear relationship with the Southern Huns. If you are in a hurry, you can borrow it at any time. The soldiers entered the country, so even Cao Cao, who was a hero at the time and coveted Bingzhou, had to do his best to cut into Bingzhou in the name of the emperor, so that he would never act rashly and alarm Yuan Tan if he could not confront the tough.It is enough to see the benefits of Bingzhou, and Yuan Tan has a violent temperament and has a reputation for killing his father. The so-called brotherhood is not considered at all. If Yuan Shang wants to start with Bingzhou and make a difference, it can be called The above is not possible.

And Jizhou, where Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family, also has tens of thousands of armored people, and there are also the most elite euphorbia soldiers of the Yuan family since Qu Yi's "rebellion". The advantage of Taihang is that it faces the sea in the east, and the only exit to the west is Huguan. As long as the throat of the north is locked, it will be like an independent kingdom. It is not easy to take action.

Therefore, in the eyes of Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Liu Shi, who was looking for a "future" for their son, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's war this time can be regarded as a golden opportunity.But only relying on the strength of his own dozens of servants and dead men, facing the tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou, is basically a joke, so he can only take advantage of the situation.Fortunately, when Yuan Shao was still there, Yuan Tan, as the eldest son, was Yuan Shang's number one "enemy". Basically, all Liu's thoughts were spent on slandering the eldest son of the Yuan family in front of Yuan Shao. Xi, but the Liu family hadn't had time to make a move, and even wanted to win over Yuan Xi, who also had little hope of winning the heir at the time, to help Yuan Shang at all costs.It's just that Mrs. Liu would never have imagined that the absurd things that happened to Yuan Xi, who was only a few years younger than him at that time, would become the life of both Yuan Shangtong and his mother, and it was possible to save their lives a few years later. Being able to use this relationship to give Yuan Shang a further bargaining chip.I don't know if Mrs. Liu is feeling dumbfounded.

But things don't always go as planned.Seeing that Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi successfully got on the line, and Yuan Xi didn't know whether it was because of the absurdity at the beginning, or because he really cared about the so-called brotherhood, at least in Liu's eyes, this time Yuan Xi treated Yuan Shang or not. Quite good, at least now that he has secured his position as the Lord of Jizhou, he no longer intends to kill Yuan Shang.Mrs. Liu felt a little relieved, at least according to the situation at the time, after borrowing the prestige of Lu Bu, Yuan Shang was finally regarded as the third son of the Yuan family in front of Yuan Xi, or in the old Yuan family in Jizhou.

But Liu Shi, who felt a little relieved in her heart, was happy for a few days.The situation in Hebei changed suddenly. Lu Bu was injured and returned to Qingzhou to "rehabilitate his wounds". After Qin Xu came back, he ordered the entire army to withdraw from Jizhou. Although the Liu family was far away in Qingzhou, they still noticed that Yuan Shang who stayed in Yecheng was becoming more and more embarrassed. status.Until a few days ago, Jushou returned to Qingzhou, confirming the previous speculation with Tian Feng and at the same time, it also brought back the news that Yuan Shang had an argument with Yuan Xi.

This seemingly sudden change of news made Mrs. Liu, the former mistress of the Yuan family, who can be regarded as a strange woman in the world, completely understand this time.What Yuan family, what brothers, these two brothers dared to turn a blind eye to their own biological father who was seriously ill, what else could they not do?Talking about friendship with these people is no different from seeking skin with a tiger.If it weren't for Cao Cao's jealousy of Lu Bu, and Yuan Shang created a situation with Lu Bu's army behind him, Yuan Xi desperately needed someone who could counter Yuan Tan's army with Cao Cao's army behind him. It is hard to say how Yuan Xi would deal with himself What about this good brother.

But at this time, the news of Lv Bu's recovery shocked Qingzhou. The news that Lv Bu's army was about to be in chaos instantly melted like the scorching sun. The order was restored almost at the same time at the same time, so that Liu, who had experienced this incident, finally came to a conclusion after several times of thinking!
One must stay close to Lu Bu's army at all costs, and take advantage of the situation, so that it is possible to do things in Hebei. From another perspective, it can also be said that Yuan's family affairs have an advantage.

Liu's idea coincided with the thinking of Ju Shou who came to discuss countermeasures with Liu and Tian Feng.Before Jushou came to pay a visit to Lu Bu's mansion, after listening to Tian Feng and Jushou's analysis, Lu Bu's army probably would not send troops in a short time, in order to achieve the purpose of urging Lu Bu to send troops, Liu even gave Jushou the final bottom line, It is possible to allow Lu Bu to actually control the military and government of Jizhou, and even reorganize the elite soldiers of Jizhou left by Yuan Shao, but the condition is that the candidate for Jizhou Mu must be Yuan Shang!Moreover, Lu Bu must support Yuan Shang and ascend to the position of the head of the Yuan family who is still in danger of death.Although this condition is suspected of being a white wolf with empty gloves, it has to be said that Mrs. Liu has indeed expressed the greatest sincerity, which is why Ju Shou vowed to come to Lv Bu's mansion before, intending to persuade Lv Bu no matter what. We must also take advantage of this.

It's just that no matter whether it's the Liu family or the Jushou, they all missed out and would be involved in the "contradictions" between Lu Bu and Qin Xu, and they never expected that someone from Qin would dare not ask Lu Bu as rumored. meaning, which lies in the dialogue between Jushou and Lu Bu.And Lu Bu actually looked like he was letting it go.This made Ju Shou, who had been disturbed by Qin Xuzhi's words before, become even more suspicious.

Although he has never had any in-depth contact with Qin Xu, and even from the first time he saw Jushou, Qin Xu had a very respectful appearance. It is rumored that since "coming out of the mountain", he has saved the army from danger several times, and after gaining a firm foothold, he has made achievements in all aspects of military and political affairs.As the so-called good fighters have no great achievements, there is Lu Bu, a famous god who is all over the world, standing in front of him, and Qin Xu did it with subtle intentions at times. For a thoughtful person like Jushou, the news of Qin Xu's return from his expedition to Jiangdong was ignored.

Jushou was a little disheartened.Lu Bu and Qin Xu sang together in the hall, Ju Shou was not a fool, how could he not see it.It's not that they are unwilling to send troops at all, but they have never planned to send troops at all.The difference between the two is huge.That's all for Qin Xu. In Jushou's eyes, Lu Bu is obviously a person who can't hide his emotions. The impatient look at the beginning put Jushou's heart in half. The boulder in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.Even at this moment, Jushou was thinking that the bargaining chip he had secretly proposed might not be in the eyes of Lu Bu and Qin Xu at all.Now that Lu Bu's injury is getting better, Qingzhou is stable again, and the morale of Lu Bu's army is high again because of this. With this army strength enough to defeat Cao Cao several times, it is easy to win Jizhou.Moreover, if Jizhou had a vast territory before, and the lack of political officials would have been enough to drag down Lu Bujun's footsteps, making him have to take advantage of the "disadvantage" of the Yuan family, and because the number of students in Jixia Academy is increasing, it has gradually become a joke. .Ju Shou was once "invited" by Qin Xuzhi to teach in Jixia Academy for a period of time, and he also saw the impoverished students in Jixia Academy with his own eyes. He was almost devoted to Lu Bu and Qin Xu. The heart of repaying kindness, coupled with the ideological education that someone from Qin ordered Jia Xu to send people, made people with "weak hearts" almost have the belief that the king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers are not dead, they will be disloyal.If these people filled the counties and counties of Jizhou, I am afraid that in less than a year, the whole Jizhou would be controlled by Lu Bu just like Xuzhou is now.

When the carefully prepared bargaining chips and the rhetoric that came out after a long time of hard thinking suddenly become useless, even a great counselor like Ju Shou can remain calm as usual even when Yuan Shao died suddenly and Yuan Shang fled. There was a sense of despair for a moment.

"It seems that Jumou has come here abruptly! Please take care of your noble body." Jushou is also a bachelor, otherwise he would not be able to come up with such an outrageous plan against the great Han world, and to follow the emperor's policy of disobedience. , Seeing that things are no longer possible, the conversation at this moment has been completely controlled by Qin Xu, even if Lu Bu is tempted, he might be disturbed by this glib Qin.After Jushou thought he had seen through Qin Xu's intentions and methods, he thought of retreating when the opportunity came and looking for another way.

"Mr. Gong and wait for the time being. In fact, according to Qin, it is not impossible to talk about what is on your mind!" When Ju Shou was about to leave, Qin Xu suddenly said with a smile.

Lu Bu, who was very familiar with Qin Xu's expression before he was about to deceive people, couldn't help but twitch his eyes, but there was a trace of a smile that could not bear the corners of his mouth.Looking at Jushou's eyes, he couldn't help showing a bit of pity.
