Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 172 Drunk Immortal General, Ruying Clan, Jizhou Talent

Ju Shou's words continued.

"Yuan Gong, now that His Majesty intends to return to the east, escaping from Chang'an is tantamount to fleeing, and the whole world is falling apart. Although the princes from all walks of life shout loyalty to the emperor and patriotism every day, in fact they are only using the banner of the emperor to strengthen themselves. The power! Who really puts the emperor in his heart?"

The words blurted out... Yuan Shao raised his head and glared at Jushou.

At this moment in Yuan Shao's heart, to use a fashionable saying - you are so cute that you almost read my ID number?
But Jushou didn't realize Yuan Shao's emotions at all, and said as before:
"Yuan Gong, now our territory is basically stable, and our power has begun to grow. If we go west...to Hongnong County to welcome the emperor back, and place the emperor in Yecheng, we can take the emperor to command the princes and soldiers. It's impossible to argue with the horse!"

"The emperor is in our hands, which means that the imperial court is in our hands, and the avenue of justice is in our hands. At that time...if anyone dares to disobey Duke Yuan, Duke Yuan can use the banner of the emperor to attack him. In this way , Who in the world would dare to disobey? In this way, Duke Yuan will become the ruler of the Han Dynasty! In this way, who can resist him?"

don't say...

Jushou's impassioned speech really moved Yuan Shao's heart.

However, what Yuan Shao needs to worry about is his own reputation...

After all, in the past when eighteen feudal lords called for Dong, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance. An important reason for raising troops was that Dong Zhuo abolished the establishment without authorization. After all, Yuan Shao refused to accept Dong Zhuoli as the emperor at all, and even...he used to want to establish an emperor himself If Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, hadn't refused... I'm afraid the Eighteenth Princes would also have emperors here!

And... the most direct impact of this incident is that if Yuan Shao goes to rescue him this time... wouldn't that be a recognition of the emperor established by Dong Zhuo?In other words, isn't this... today's "Yuan Benchu" slapping the face of the former "Leader Yuan" with his own hands!

Yuan Shao is a very shameless person, his head can be broken, but his face can't be ugly!
But Jushou's words do have some truth in what he said... Slapping in the face is a slap in the face, but it really welcomes the emperor, and he can use the name of the emperor everywhere to flatten whoever he wants. It's not bad to think about it.

The point is, Yuan Shao has the strength to go to Hongnong to bring back the emperor!
"Cough cough..."

Yuan Shao is about to agree...

"No!" Two voices came out at the same time.

Standing out of the government office are Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong...

The former is Jushou's deadly rival, while the latter... is Chunyu Qiong, a representative of the Ruying faction under Yuan Shao's command.

Of course... In later generations, Chunyu Qiong also has a famous title - Drunken Immortal General!
Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong looked at each other...

Guo Tu said: "It has not been a day or two since the decline of the Han Dynasty. How stupid is Ju Junjun to think about revitalizing the Han Dynasty? How difficult is it to go against the sky like this? In today's world, all the princes are vying for the Central Plains. The so-called Qin If the deer is lost, the one who wins first is king (four voices), if the Son of Heaven is rescued to our side, then how can Duke Yuan be called a king in the future? How can he be called an orphan!"

What Guo Tu said is already cryptic enough, to put it bluntly, Yuan Gong is going to be the emperor, dammit... You just let the whole Han Dynasty emperor come here to add to the chaos!
That sounds good...

Guo Tu's words reached Yuan Shao's heart...

The old Yuan's family has four generations and three generations. No matter how awesome he is, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a man!Why, the whole family of old Yuan's family was cut down by Dong Zhuo, and after so many sacrifices, why can't they make further progress?
Thinking of this, the corners of Yuan Shao's mouth raised slightly, and he muttered in his heart, Guo Tu won my heart!
I'm in a hurry...

"Stupid, stupid!" He was straightforward, pointing to Guo Tu's nose and said, "Welcoming the emperor to Jizhou today is not only in line with the principles of loyalty, but also in line with the time! If you don't go early, he will definitely be there first! Cao Cao Now that I have sent people west to Luoyang, I predict that there must be someone high in the Cao camp, who can beat me ten times. If...Yuan Gong does not go to meet the emperor, then...Once Cao Cao gets the emperor, his rise will be inevitable If you block it, Yuan Gong will be in a great situation, but it will be hard to get over it!"

Ha ha…

Blunting these words, Yuan Shao sneered very displeased.

Still tall?He, Yuan Shao, has never taken Cao Cao seriously in his life. Cao Cao has always been a follower in Yuan Shao's mind, and he can't pose any threat!
However, he did not refute Jushou, but raised his eyes and looked around at the other people in the government office.

Yuan Shao is very good at such things as transferring flowers to replace trees and borrowing strength to fight!

Sure enough, as expected, most people were against it, among them Chunyu Qiong shook his head repeatedly.

He also glared at Jushou, and immediately said to Yuan Shaolang:
"Minggong, have you ever thought about it? If the emperor is brought here, he will not only eat and drink our food, but also yell at us all day, what about us? Even if we do small things, we have to ask him for instructions!"

"Listen to him, what is Yuan Gong's majesty? Don't listen to him? We will be labeled as disobeying the emperor's order! According to the opinion of the last general, whoever advocates taking over the emperor is the most stupid in the world. people!"

Chun Yuqiong was the first group of people to follow Yuan Shao...

In the past, among the eight captains appointed by the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao ranked second, Cao Cao ranked third, and Chun Yuqiong ranked eighth!
For this reason, regardless of Chunyu Qiong being a warrior, Yuan Shao trusted him extremely, so his words still carried great weight.

Do not welcome the emperor, or, welcome the emperor!

In name, two to one!

But in fact, this verbal battle is not an individual battle, but a team battle...

Behind Jushou, Chunyuqiong, and Guo Tu is the direct collision between Yuan Shao's subordinates, the Ruying family clan and Jizhou talent.

Lu Yu mentioned before that the factions in Xuzhou are complex...

But compared to Yuan Shao's faction, Xuzhou's faction is not worth mentioning.

Let's not talk about the warriors, just the counselors, on the surface Yuan Shao's subordinates are divided into two factions, one is the Ruying clan who followed Yuan Shao.

Among them, the top cadres of the Chen Liugao family are the ones with outstanding family backgrounds;
Xun Chen of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Guo Tu of the Guo family in Yingchuan, Xu You of the Xu family in Nanyang;
As well as Celebrity Meeting, Approval, etc., this is Yuan Shao's initial planning, decision-making and execution team.

On the other hand, after Yuan Shaomou went to Jizhou, Corporal Li Xian discovered two capable men who were originally under Han Fu's command-the riding captain Wei Jushou and the former imperial servant Shi Tianfeng.

And these two are the Jizhou talents of the second faction under Yuan Shao's command...

The former Ruying clan is Yuan Shao's direct descendant and helped him capture Jizhou;
The latter Jizhou talented person is a talent gradually absorbed, and he planned a political strategy for him, and thus rose to a high position!
The former has a more prominent family background, while the latter has more outstanding abilities... It's time to get familiar with one mountain, but two tigers cannot be accommodated!
Therefore... the battle between the two factions is nothing special...

In particular, the Ruying clan has always been suppressing Jizhou talents both openly and secretly!
There is almost a consensus in their inner circle, as long as it is the opinion of Ju Shou and Tian Feng, it must be opposed!Regardless of whether it is correct or not, opposing for the sake of opposing, the Ruying family can't hold sand in their eyes, and can't tolerate more talented people.

now…

Two diametrically opposed opinions were thrown out, and it was time for Yuan Shao to do multiple-choice questions.

As we all know, Yuan Shao has never been good at multiple choice questions!
He doesn't have the same insight as Jushou...

In his opinion, Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong's words reached his heart, he finally became the Lord of Jizhou, if he saves the emperor?Isn't that embarrassing yourself and slapping yourself in the face?

Ha ha…

He, Yuan Shao, would not do the foolish thing of taking over the emperor anyway, and whoever wanted to do it would do it.

Besides, what is being discussed here is that he, Yuan Shao, wants to get some food. Why are you talking about such a lot? Can you do something serious!First meow, get me the 300 million shi of grain that Gongsun Zan hoarded?
Thinking about this...

"Hahahaha..." Yuan Shao smiled, hiding a knife in his smile. "Okay, there's no need to argue, isn't the emperor still in Hongnong? Who knows if he can really return to the east? Besides, instead of spending troops, food and money to save him from such a long distance, you might as well think about it." , how to capture Youzhou, how to capture that Gongsun Zan!"

"Pass down my military order to send troops to Youzhou in three days, and fight that Gongsun Xiaoer!"

Having said this, Yuan Shao walked up to Ju Shou and patted him on the shoulder. "Master Ju, the Son of Heaven doesn't have 300 million shi of grain? It's not even enough. To save an imperial court, you have to spend another million shi of grain. It's really not worthwhile in this catastrophe season! Haha..."

In a word, Yuan Shao walked out of the government office slowly with steps that his relatives did not recognize.

"Hahaha…"

Immediately, everyone in the government office laughed, with sarcasm and mockery in their laughter...

It seems obvious that if one side has 300 million shi of grain and the other has [-] shi of grain upside down, as long as the brain is not kicked by the donkey, it seems that they will choose the former!

Not long after, the entire government office was empty.

"Ah... alas..."

The frustrated one stomped his feet in frustration, "You...you will regret it if you don't listen to me!"

"There are masters in the Cao camp, there are masters! I expect that within five years, with the help of this master, Cao Cao will grow into a giant, and by then... the outcome will be unknown!"

"Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong...you will pay the price for today's decision!"

In Jushou's view, being able to plan for Cao Cao to go west to Luoyang, and to predict that the emperor will return to the east...how could it be a simple role!

Cao Yingzhong, the expert behind the curtain...Unfathomable...

And he will surely lead Cao Cao to a new chapter!
The more I think about it...

Ju Shou became more and more annoyed, "Ah... ah..." The repeated sighs resounded throughout the government office... It's a pity, the Yuan Shao camp of Nuo Da?Who can appreciate his good intentions?
...

Outside the government office...

Tian Feng stopped in front of Yuan Shao.

As a representative of talented people in Jizhou, Tian Feng has always been known for being outspoken and dare to advise... This time, he wants to speak for Jushou.

"Yuan Gong, what the military advisor Jushou said is not unreasonable. Even if Yuan Gong doesn't go to meet the emperor, it doesn't matter... But Cao Cao's rise has been too fast in the past two years. In my opinion... it's better to suppress it appropriately."

"How to suppress?" Yuan Shao paused.

Tian Feng's words did not attract attacks from the surrounding Ruying faction, after all...the speed of Cao Cao's rise is obvious to all.

It seems... Properly suppressed, there is no problem.

"In my opinion..." Tian Feng was about to speak when Guo Tu spoke first. "Minggong, now that drought, locust plague, and waterlogging continue one after another, we have no food harvest here, and Cao Cao's side must have a hard time...how about, the lord promised Cao Cao to send his family to Jizhou with a little grain, so that... Cao Cao's The family members are in the hands of Duke Ming? Are you afraid that he will be disobedient?"

While speaking, the corner of Guo Tu's mouth curled up, revealing a wicked smile.

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Shao nodded, feeling quite reasonable...

In fact, what Tian Feng thinks is basically the same as what Guo Tu thinks, after all...you have to suppress it!

"Okay, good strategy." Yuan Shao made a rare resolute act, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, send an envoy to Chenliu County, tell him that natural disasters continue, we can support him Cao Cao with [-] shi of grain to help him tide over the difficulties, but, As a condition, Cao Cao must send his family to Jizhou..."

The messenger sent back to the faction, but would Cao Cao agree?
In Yuan Shao's view, it will definitely be!

Yanzhou has always been poor. In the past few years, Cao Cao was not rich in food when he fought everywhere. In addition to this natural disaster, how to live in Yanzhou next year will be a problem.

In fact, Yuan Shao really had a more thoughtful mind... How could fifty thousand shi of grain be enough for millions of people in Yanzhou?

It can only let him barely get by. Didn't he, Cao Cao, want to go west to Luoyang and meet the emperor?

Without food, he meets a hammer?
"Here..." The armored soldier agreed, and was about to arrange for the envoy.

at this time…

"Report...report..." With a message, a soldier hurried over. "The disaster reports from all over the country have been compiled!"

Well…

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes.

Not to mention, he was quite happy when he heard the words "disaster reports from all over the world".

Yuan Shao has this kind of temperament, I am not afraid of unlucky, you just need to be as unlucky as I am... We are very good friends, we are still good friends!

He immediately said with a smile. "It looks like...everywhere is suffering from floods, and the situation is not optimistic!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao looked up to the south, which was the territory of his younger brother Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao said with emotion: "Talk about it, Yanzhou is barren. Didn't he cut off the Taishou River to grow rice? Haha, the embankment in Yanzhou has not been repaired for decades, right? This flood will surely burst the embankment. It’s been a thousand miles, haha, most of his rice has been washed away, right?”

"Where is Cao Ah hiding, Cao Ah is hiding, the current him... must be like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry? Haha..."

"Yuan Gongmingjian..."

"Duke Yuan is wise!"

"Listen to Yuan Gong's words, I'll wait for Mao Sai to understand!"

The sycophants Guo Tu and Feng Ji started flattering as soon as they smelled the smell of sycophants. Obviously, Yuan Shao was very helpful.

The soldier took out the bamboo slips and handed them to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao waved his hand.

"You don't need to pass it to me. The waterlogging disasters in various places, just read it directly! Let all the ministers and workers listen to it."

...The soldier quickly unfolded the bamboo slips and read aloud. "Huainan suffered a severe disaster. All the rice was washed away. Xiapi City in Xuzhou...The Sishui dam burst and almost submerged the city...The rice fields were completely destroyed, Yanzhou..."

When he read the word "Yanzhou", Jia Shi paused for a moment... because, after roughly scanning the content behind, he felt a little weird.

"Why don't you read it, read it again!" Yuan Shao reminded...

Uh…

The soldier paused for a moment before speaking. "It rained heavily in Yanzhou, and the Taishou River broke its embankment, but... tens of thousands of officers and soldiers prepared in advance, blocked the gap, and tens of thousands of acres of rice fields were preserved!"

what?
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao was stunned...

His eyes widened in vain?The eyes of the people around them were also wide open, and their expressions were extremely exaggerated... Even the No. [-] flatterer Guo Tu and the second flatterer Feng Ji opened their mouths wide enough to stuff an egg in!

In an instant...

With Yuan Shao as the center, within tens of meters around, there was deathly silence.

"Yuan Gong..." Tian Feng was the first to react. "From this point of view... this Cao Cao is not simple! Perhaps... the fact that there are masters in the Cao camp mentioned by Master Ju... is true..."

Before Tian Feng finished speaking...

"Nonsense!" Yuan Shao scolded immediately, he would not believe that Cao Cao would have any expert help.

From the bottom of his heart, Yuan Shao looked down on Cao Cao, thinking that he was a descendant of an eunuch!Eunuch adopted son!
Even if you are an expert, don't come to join him, but go to Cao Cao?
Isn't this blind?

Humph…

With a cold snort, Yuan Shao said coldly.

"This time, Cao Aman is very lucky, hehe...I don't believe it, he will be so lucky every time in the future!"

Having said this, Yuan Shao raised his voice.

"The plan remains unchanged, we will go to Youzhou in three days!"

"Wait for me to kill Gongsun Xiao'er, and then I'll take care of him, Cao Aman, hum!"

With a cold snort, Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed... There was more murderous intent in his eyes!
And the soldier from before was stunned in place?

...Yuan Gong just asked to arrange for the messengers, what to say...to exchange food for Cao Cao's family members, so it seems...it seems, it seems, it seems, there should be no need to go, right?

...
