Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1294 Black Jade Intermittent Cream

Just when Zhou Zhang met Fude, the most senior man in the Han Dynasty, at Luoyang Restaurant, Xu You also wandered back to Yecheng.In fact, this is not to blame Xu You, mainly because it snows in winter and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, and then it rains again during the Spring Festival. In addition, there are indeed a lot of things, and several carts follow, can you not walk slowly?
After Xu You arrived in Yecheng, he also hurried northward to meet the highest-ranking yamen of the big man's predecessor.

This person is Yuan Shao.

Since the beginning of spring in the second year of Yanping, Yuan Shao went northward to the front line of northern Hebei and visited Yijing's frontline battlefield in person, and his military actions became more frequent. Judging from the current situation, Gongsun Zan still stationed a large number of soldiers in addition to Yijing Besides the horses, there were also soldiers stationed in some nearby towns, but fortunately it was Gongsun Zan who lost his head and hid himself in Yi Jing, which gave Yuan Shao a lot of opportunities.

Gongsun Zan's strategy was seen through by Tian Feng and others from the very beginning.

According to Tian Feng's original words, it was nothing more than a superficial tactic to lure the enemy in, and it was not worth mentioning.

See through, natural and simple.

Gongsun Zan's strategy is to use these small towns around him to gradually consume Yuan Shao's troops, lure the enemy to go deep, and then defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop in Yijing City, and then he can roll back like a curtain of beads hanging from the water, not only regaining the lost ground, but even It may take advantage of the trend to capture Jizhou.

In terms of overall strategy, strictly speaking, Gongsun Zan is not wrong, and Gongsun Zan's strategy is actually similar to the strategy used in the battle against the Hu people. Speaking of which, Gongsun Zan may also use it for reference. He also succeeded in dealing with the barbarians with one move, but Gongsun Zan forgot two things.

One is that this place is Han, and the other is that both sides are Han.

The Han army attacked the Hu people, the vast desert, the place of life is unfamiliar, the Hu people attacked the Han land, the world of flowers, it is very good to see that.Therefore, between the Hu people and the Han people, most of the time, the mutual friendship is minus [-], and after many years of fighting, each has hatred, so Gongsun Zan’s men must be brave when facing the Hu people’s southward invasion, and they will rarely surrender and be weak. when.

But now it is not the Hu people, but the Han people, and they are also the Yuan family with a good reputation!
If you surrender to Yuan Shao, you won’t be reviled, or even humiliated your family like you surrendered to a barbarian. It’s not guaranteed that you will get a higher position, better treatment, newer bags, and newer mobile phones. ...cough, cough, off the stage.Anyway, that's what it means.

So now, do you still have to resist so hard?Or lie back and enjoy?
When Gongsun Zan's generals had too many problems circling in their minds, their subordinates naturally softened, and they let Yuan Shaohu come over halfway. As a result, only one Gongsun Zan was left jumping around in Yi Jing, cursing his subordinates for their broken consciences, feeling that anyone They all betrayed themselves, leaving only a few girls who were bound together with him, who were more or less caring and trustworthy...

One wrong step, one wrong step.

Up to now, Gongsun Zan is already hard-won, but the problem is that Yuan Shao's army is dispatched, and the food and salaries needed are spent like water. In addition, Yuan Shao has also frequently mobilized troops for a period of time. In addition to the battle, he also fought Heishan on the left for a while, Tian Kai on the right for a while, and even supported Cao Cao with some supplies...

Although the cub spends his father's money, the cub doesn't feel bad, but the problem is that his father loves it!
The gentry in Jizhou are often muttering behind their backs that Yuan Shao is a bastard, a prodigal woman, um, a prodigal man...

Ever since Yuan Shao came to Jizhou from Guaguan, starting from the prefect of Bohai, Jizhou nobles have received many private placement invitations from Yuan Shao, and also subscribed a lot of Yuan Shao's bonds, but Yuan Shao's bonds are issued once in a while. Now it is released more frequently.

Counting with your fingers, basically all of these three or four years have been spent, as for income?

Is there?

There are a lot fewer prodigals and rangers in the market, and the by-product refugees who were originally affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion seem to be a lot less. Is this the benefit of the Jizhou gentry Haoyou?
Although most of the gentry in Jizhou know in their hearts that once the game of kings is launched, they need to keep krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold krypton gold and krypton gold again, but Yuan Datou also needs to be a relief, right?What's more, the nobles of the Han Dynasty were all paid annual salaries, and most of them could only receive one salary a year. How can this be tolerated by Yuan Datou who really treats them as a victim and asks for krypton gold all year round...

Jizhou gentry Hao glanced left and right, clutching the coffin book in his pocket, shaking his head like a rattle, saying that he would never krypton gold again, whether krypton gold can produce miracles is another matter, but it will definitely lead to poverty and Failing God.

Sorry, do not double.

So in the second year of Yan Ping, the situation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan became extremely strange.

Gongsun Zan seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his strategy. Yuan Datou was about to turn over the wall, but now how to change and what new strategy to adopt, Gongsun student hadn't thought of any tricks yet, and couldn't find anyone to ask for advice, so he stood dumbfounded. On the spot, trying to pass the test...

Yuan Shao seems to be able to push Gongsun Zan down with more force here, and he can put himself in any posture he wants, but the problem is that it is just a little bit worse, he can't turn it over, his trousers are caught by something, and he can't show his timidity in front of Gongsun. Viciously issued a declaration on the wall, wait, wait for the young master to go down and kill you...

Under such circumstances, Xu You was as excited as a weasel who just stole a brood of chickens, and with a happy smile, he raised his three strands of beard and approached Yuan Shao.

"Minggong, let's take a look at this chicken..." Xu You held the "Honghu Clothes" produced by Pingyang with his own hands, and brought them to Yuan Shao, his tongue was so excited, "Ah, no, it's this clothes, this'Honghu Clothes'...all the things in the world, the noble and pure are no more than swans. After three years of hard work in the west, a hundred swans were collected, and then the down was taken to make this clothes...someone who is not talented, specially took this clothes. , Dedicated to Duke Ming, He Minggong is like a swan spreading its wings across the world!"

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyes couldn't help but brighten up when he heard it, and he put it on happily. He didn't know whether it was really warm or a psychological effect. After closing his eyes and feeling it, he raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Good! It's actually warm." Mind travels all over the body! It’s really a treasure!”

In the Han Dynasty, there were no down jackets at all, and Yuan Shao himself was the leader of the benchmark gentry, the leader of the Han people, so he never bothered to wear leather robes to keep out the cold. He always wore brocade, cotton and linen. Immediately, Yuan Shao, who had never worn a down jacket before, felt that spring was much brighter.

Xu You naturally laughed along with him.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, then looked at Xu You and said, "Such a treasure, why didn't Ziyuan keep one?"

Xu You quickly waved his hands, tugged at the collar, and said, "How can such a poor person enjoy this garment? This garment is only made of cashmere...but it's warm..."

"Oh...it doesn't have to be like this, it's not just an ordinary piece of clothing, you can wear it..." Yuan Shao brushed his robe and said, "You said that this piece of clothing was made by Zhengxi? So can Zhengxi wear it?"

Xu You smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know if I wore it in the inner room...but when I was interviewed, Zhengxi was wearing a leather robe..."

"Leather robe?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows.

Xu You nodded.

"This Zhengxi..." Yuan Shao snorted twice, and then said, "How do you see Zhengxi?"

Yuan Shao had many advisers, and Xu You was just one of them, and Xu You was sadly inferior to the others in dealing with political affairs or making suggestions.Perhaps Xu You is actually not that bad, but the problem is that Xu You will use his values ​​to measure and handle affairs in many things, so it is inevitable that sometimes there will be some bias, and the current position is a bit embarrassing, if it is not He was the first to join Yuan Shao, and because of his seniority, he might be marginalized now.

And in political games, there has always been no retreat. If you can't get high returns and high output, who would be willing to devote a lifetime of energy to it?

So Xu You is no exception. At this moment, the place with the highest profit return is nothing more than being able to firmly favor Yuan Shao in front of Yuan Shao.

Xu You didn't find any good method before, but after going to Pingyang this time, Xu You couldn't help but realize that he actually has his own advantages...

Why bother to stick to such tedious political affairs, why bother to intrigue with those vitriolic people?

So-and-so, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, do what others can't do, and do what others can't do!
"Duke Ming, stay here, garrison troops not moving forward..." Xu You didn't answer Yuan Shao's question directly, but said, "Could it be because you are trapped in military funds and food?"

Yuan Shao snorted and didn't answer, but there was a little dissatisfaction in his expression, but Yuan Shao didn't deny it, after all, as long as he had the heart to see this matter, he would naturally see it.

"This trip to the north should solve Minggong's worries..." Xu You cupped his hands and said, "Zhengxi is certainly talented, but he is still young and not stable enough, and he also likes some obscene and strange things. ..."

"Hmm..." Yuan Shao stroked his beard with one hand and nodded.Yuan Shao agrees with this point. In the past two years, he has heard that Zheng Xi is tossing around. A few years ago, he heard that there was some kind of auspiciousness. What a hehe. If the auspiciousness of this big man is real, it has magical effects. , what are you doing so hard?
The Xiqiang Rebellion and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Is it enough to send Xiangrui over there? Do you still need soldiers?

Therefore, although Yuan Shao and the others didn't say anything, they were quite disapproving of the auspiciousness. As for Fei Qian, who had created auspiciousness several times in a row, Yuan Shao inevitably lumped him into the group of opportunistic people, so When Xu You said that Feiqian likes to write novelty things, he naturally agreed.

"Of course Zhengxi has the ability to exterminate Baibo, recover the country, and pacify the region. It also has the ability to set up workshops in Pingyang, open mines and refine alchemy, and do unrestrained actions..." Xu You laughed a few times, lowered his voice and approached, "A certain At the time of Pingyang, Zhengxi took the daughter of the Pei family from the east of the river as his concubine... Not only that, Cai Zhonglang...Ming Gong, Cai Zhonglang has a daughter...According to someone, Zhengxi and...hehe, hehe..."

"Oh..." Yuan Shao nodded, and then his face was calm, noncommittal.Young people, don't they all come here?Young Muai, isn't it normal?Back then, Yuan Shao climbed over the widow's wall. Lust is not a big problem, but lust plus alchemy, then...

"...You said that there is an act of subduing pills in Zhengxi?" Yuan Shao asked.

Xu You arched his hands and said, "Hey...Master Ming knows that under General Pingdong, there is a staff member named Xi Zhicai..."

Yuan Shao shook his head, how could he pay attention to such a humble person?But Cao Cao sent envoys to conquer the west?What do these mean?
"When I came to Pingyang, this person also sent an envoy to conquer the west on behalf of Pingdong..." Xu You said, "What I asked for was nothing more than weapons and horses... However, what I saw and heard with my own eyes... Zhengxi gave him a gift There are several jars of strong wine, and it is said that the effect of aiding walking is sweating. There is also a box of black jade essence medicine, called 'Black Jade Intermittent Ointment', which is said to be used to remove erysipelas...Ming Gong tried to think about it, it is the product of the elixir , Time-consuming and troublesome, let alone a day's work, if it wasn't for the normal time of Zhengxi..."

These days, taking some alchemy and taking some medicine is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. In most people's minds, this elixir is really troublesome to the extreme, and it is impossible to make it immediately if you want it temporarily.

Therefore, when Fei Qian took out the so-called "Black Jade Intermittent Ointment", either someone else offered it, or Fei Qian could only find someone to refine it. Before, I sent someone to Pingyang to say hello in advance, saying that I am coming, and help me practice a furnace of pills first...

Therefore, the possibility of temporary refining was ruled out, so the elixir for General Pingdong's envoy Xi Zhicai could only be General Zhengxi's own stock.In this way, even if Zhengxi didn't refine it himself, but someone else offered it, but if Zhengxi didn't like pills himself, would his subordinates give this kind of thing?

Yuan Shu also had the habit of taking elixirs, so Yuan Shu's subordinates also offered his elixirs, but Yuan Shao did not, so Yuan Shao's subordinates, whether they were courtiers or gentry, would not use elixirs in an attempt to gain Yuan Shao's favor.

"Hmph...hehe..." Yuan Shao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, Ziyuan really has insight..." Will Xu You lie to him?It shouldn't be so, Yuan Shao pondered, not to mention whether this Xi Zhicai under General Pingdong's command really took drugs, did he really get some "Black Jade Intermittent Ointment" from Zhengxi, and sent someone south to check Just know.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. How much threat can a drug-addicted Zhengxi be?When he was in Luoyang back then, he did not rarely see those so-called flirtatious talents after taking drugs, so don't look at Zhengxi taking Guanzhong Hanzhong, it should just be that Guanzhong and Hanzhong are chaotic and cowardly...

If the Central Plains are pacified, as Emperor Guangwu was in those days, he will enter the Sanfu from Heluo, and it will certainly be the same as before.

Xu You hurriedly smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I have entrusted you with Ming Gong, how dare you not do your best!"

"Well, Ziyuan is very fortunate. I should remember your meritorious deeds and don't hesitate to reward you..." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "The talented Ziyuan once said that he can solve the current situation? If you have any good strategies, why not tell us..."
