Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101 Birds and Beasts After the Birds and Beasts Scatter (2)

Yuan Shao not only threw an olive branch to Cao Cao, but also hoped that his younger brother Yuan Shu could support Liu Yu, the clan of the Han Dynasty, as emperor.

However, seeing the gradual decline of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu was unwilling to continue to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. He had already made his own plan and devoted himself to expanding his sphere of influence.Yuan Shu didn't want to take orders from Yuan Shao, so he disapproved of Yuan Shao's proposal under the excuse of justice.

Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, died of illness shortly after his retreat. Yuan Shao sent Zhou Xin as the governor of Yuzhou, hoping to take over Yuzhou and seize the territory previously occupied by Sun Jian.The grievances between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu finally tore away the last fig leaf, and the brothers turned their faces and fought each other.

Yuan Shao's leader tablet is still there, and most of the heroes are attached to Yuan Shao.In order to fight against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu declared that he was the direct descendant of the Yuan family, and that his elder brother Yuan Shao who was born with the same father was only worthy of being a slave of the Yuan family.Yuan Shu also formed an alliance with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou in the north and Tao Qian of Xuzhou in an attempt to compete with Yuan Shao for hegemony.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao united with Liu Biao of Jingzhou to clamp down on Yuan Shu in the south, and continuously promoted his younger brother Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun and the shepherd of Yanzhou, as a barrier between himself and Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou, while he concentrated on dealing with Gongsun Zan of Youzhou .

In the rivalry between two brothers, the third party will always be injured.The southern battlefield was the first to be opened up. Yuan Shu was the first to launch an attack. He ordered Sun Jian to lead his army to attack Liu Biao.Sun Jian's battle with Liu Biao started smoothly, and Liu Biao was defeated steadily.The careless Sun Jian thought that Jingzhou could be settled, so he went into battle himself, but was ambushed by Liu Biao's general Huang Zu, and was shot to death by random arrows, which also fulfilled his original oath. Sun Jian's son Sun Ce and his generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai Waiting desperately to get back Sun Jian's body.Sun Ce vowed to avenge Sun Jian, but due to lack of strength, he could only continue to attach himself to Yuan Shu.

The first confrontation ended with Yuan Shujun's disrespect, but Sun Jian's death did not have any impact or loss on Yuan Shu. Instead, Yuan Shu annexed Sun Jian's troops, turning the original dependency into Yuan Shu's subordinates.

Liu Yu's son Liu He was ordered to go back to Youzhou to see Liu Yu passing through Nanyang. Yuan Shuru found a treasure and falsely claimed that the road was not safe, so he asked Liu He to stay in Nanyang and sent someone to contact Liu Yu. In fact, he was placed under house arrest as a hostage.Seeing that Yuan Shu had other plans, Liu He pretended to spend a lot of time to deceive Yuan Shu, and when he let down his vigilance, he fled to Yuan Shao's place and was left behind by Yuan Shao.

Lu Bu lost his wife and children, and escaped from Chang'an in embarrassment, like a bereaved dog.It didn't take long to get news that Li Jue, Guo Si, etc. occupied Chang'an, Wang Yun committed suicide, Lu Bu had nowhere to go but restrained himself, and about a thousand of his men wandered without a fixed place, plundering everywhere without food and grass.Thinking that killing Dong Zhuo was revenge for the Yuan family, he went to join Yuan Shu. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu complained that Lv Bu was capricious, accused him of looting, arrogant and rude, and refused to see him face to face. Lv Bu had no choice but to lead his men to Hebei took refuge with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao has always had his own plan since he launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo, so Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Han Meng and other generals did not bring any of them.The reason why his plan was not implemented is because of two points: one is that he is still unclear about the attitude of the princes and his weight in the hearts of the princes; the other is to crusade against Dong Zhuo. People accused of ulterior motives.

After Dong Zhuo moved his capital and occupied Luoyang, Yuan Shao believed that the time had come, and began to implement the plan: to support Liu Yu as emperor.Yuan Shao thinks his reason is very good: Liu Bian, the heir designated by the late emperor Liu Heng, was poisoned to death by Dong Zhuo, and the whereabouts of the Chuanguo Yuxi are unknown, so the choice of the new emperor is very debatable. If you support Liu Xie, Dong Zhuo, I, Yuan Shao, can support Liu Yu .At the same time, Yuan Shao has his own little plan: if Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu ascends the throne, then the new Youzhou Shepherd will naturally belong to me, Yuan Shao, and the new emperor is also firmly under his control. The state is the root and develops southward.

Yuan Shao thought very well, but it was a pity that he had wishful thinking. He discussed with Cao Cao and Yuan Shu who were close to him, but they were all rejected mercilessly.

Jizhou Mu Hanfu, as a disciple of the Yuan family, almost followed Yuan Shao blindly. Therefore, he was the only one who responded to Yuan Shao's call to make Liu Yu emperor, and sent Zhang Qi, the former prefect of Lelang County, to Youzhou with their proposal, and asked Liu Yu Yu enshrined the title of emperor.Liu Yu resolutely refused after seeing Zhang Qi, and sternly reprimanded: "Nowadays the world is torn apart, the emperor is suffering abroad, I have been greatly favored by the country, and I have not been able to avenge the shame for the country. You should serve the royal family with all your heart. Instead, plotting such a conspiracy to stain me!"Han Fu also asked Liu Yu to preside over the affairs of the Shangshu and serve as an official on behalf of the emperor, but Liu Yu still refused, saying that if he was forced to force him again, he would flee to the Huns to isolate himself from the world.Han Fu and Yuan Shao's plan to support Liu Yu failed completely.

Han Fu and Yuan Shao did not go back to Jizhou directly, but first went back to Yingchuan, Han Fu's hometown.Yingchuan has always been said to be an outstanding place, and there are many local wealthy families and wealthy families.The two lobbied everywhere: the Central Plains was in turmoil, and it was very dangerous for Yingchuan to be in the place of the Fourth World War. They advised the Yingchuan clan to move to the north.Several noble families were willing to go with them. Among them, Guo Tu of the Guo family, Xin Ping and Xin Pi brothers of the Xin family took refuge in Yuan Shao; the Xun family followed the principle that eggs should not be put in one basket, and Xun Yu followed Han Fu to move to Yuan Shao. In Jizhou, Xun Chen followed Yuan Shao, and Xun You went to Chang'an with his uncle Xun Shuang.The war broke out shortly after they left and they escaped unharmed.

Yuan Shao returned to Bohai in disgrace when he dispatched troops this time. Seeing that the princes from all walks of life are separatist, as the dignified lord, he can only serve as the prefect in the tiny place of Bohai, and he has to rely on the support of Jizhou Mu Hanfu everywhere. I'm so sorry for myself, I'm depressed every day.Feng Ji, one of his advisers, saw what Yuan Shao was thinking, and said to Yuan Shao: "You have a lot of talents, but the Bohai Sea is a small area. If you want to do a big business, you can't gain a foothold if you don't occupy a state. Now Jizhou is strong and the population is full of food and grass. Han Fu is mediocre, why not occupy Jizhou?"

"It's difficult." Yuan Shao sighed, "Han Fu has tens of thousands of armored soldiers, sufficient food and grass, and there are many scholars in Jizhou, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Shen Pei are all wise men, and there are also generals such as Ju Yi and Gao Lan. I don't take it seriously. Excellent."

Feng Ji said: "The lord can secretly ask Gongsun Zan to lead the army to go south. Han Fu will be afraid when he learns about it. At the same time, send an eloquent person to tell Han Fu about the misfortunes and blessings. Han Fu was forced by unexpected events. We We will definitely take this opportunity to take his place.”

Xu You, who has been following Yuan Shao, offered advice: "My lord has four generations and three lords, and I return my heart from all over the world. My lord is also a virtuous and corporal. In time, the famous people in Jizhou also look up to you. I am willing to go to Jizhou to meet these people and let them support the lord."
