Chapter 625

After Yuan Shao retreated to the north, in order to avoid misunderstandings by Gongsun Zan's troops, he did not go to the nearest Ganling City.

Because it is the prefecture of Qinghe County.

It's okay to borrow excuses, but if you borrow Fucheng, it is estimated that Gongsun Zan's subordinates will have a misunderstanding.

So Yuan Shao's army traveled north for a day, and then went west, walked along the line of Dongwu City, and entered Julu County from Jieqiao.

Tobu Castle has been mentioned in many previous articles, but it has not been elaborated.

This time I have to talk about this place.

Because there is a big family here who is related to the descendants of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.

Qinghe Cui family, the later five surnames Qiwang.

The old root is in Tobu City.

At this time, the Cui family Yijing is a famous family.

It is the county prestige of Qinghe, and the first family of Qinghe deserves its name.

Therefore, the Cui family controls a lot of industries in Qinghe County, and has sufficient authority in Qinghe County.

Since Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he has written many times to invite the Cui family, hoping to get the support of the Cui family.

However, they did not get a positive response from the Cui family.

Later, Xu Ding helped Gongsun Zan lose Qinghe County, so Yuan Shao never wooed the Cui family.

Now that he was passing by this place, Yuan Shao had this thought again.

So the army stopped at Tobu City.

The Cui family led all the country gentry, county magistrates and captains to welcome Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was very useful, and the Cui family, who always liked to answer and ignore them, was very understanding this time.

But he understands that this is because he has an army of [-] to [-] in his hands, and Qianglong can not only crush the snake, but also hit Qicun, killing you several times.

"It's a great honor for you to see the elite of Jizhou when you return to Jizhou after hard work." The Patriarch of the Cui family glanced at the low morale, soldiers are not soldiers, and generals are not generals. He opened his eyes and babbled for a while, then made a gesture of invitation and said:

"The city has prepared wine and water, set up a banquet, and respectfully invite the envoy and the generals to enter the city!"

"Okay! Patriarch of the Cui family, please!" The basic etiquette is still to be observed, Yuan Shao also showed the bearing of the Yuan family and the master of Jizhou and made the same gesture, and then entered the city with the Patriarch of the Cui family.

The banquet was held at Cui's house, not in the government office.

It was a private banquet, so that Gongsun Zan's people would not think too much about it.

Yuan Shao talked and laughed with the Patriarch of the Cui family, talking while walking, and soon came to the hall.

The host is the Patriarch of the Cui family, who should have been in the first place, but he sat on the upper right side, opposite to Yuan Shao, who is the upper right side.

It fully demonstrated the family's etiquette and respect for Yuan Shao, saving him embarrassment.

Soon, good wine and meat will be served, and there will be singing girls to add to the fun.

After three rounds of wine, delicious food, and the hospitality of the Cui family, Yuan Shao asked, "To tell you the truth, the Cui family's master, our army is now at a disadvantage in attacking Qingzhou, so we have to withdraw to Jizhou. The next step is to expand our troops to the north and west. What do you have to teach me!"

"Don't dare to be taught. The Lord of Fu is the master of Jizhou. You have resourceful people like Ziyuan and Yuantu under your command, and fierce generals like Yanliang and Zhang He in Wu. Why worry about the future." The head of the Cui family played a set of Tai Chi road:

"I'm an old man who doesn't care about world affairs. I only want to be happy and rich. How can I see Dong's world affairs!"

Yuan Shaodao: "The head of the Cui family doesn't need to underestimate himself. No one in Qinghe knows that the Cui family has great achievements in the world. There is a leader like you who is far-sighted, wise, courageous and courageous at the helm."

"Hahaha, the envoy has passed, and half of his body is buried in the soil. How can he be wise and brave?" The Patriarch of the Cui family stroked his beard with a smile.

It is worthy of being the descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince, who has the cultivation of a great family.

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and the aristocratic family relied on the tacit understanding of each other to flatter each other, so Yuan Shao and the head of the Cui family were very familiar with it.

Nonsense is enough, and Yuan Shao doesn't play Tai Chi with the old man anymore, because if you keep bragging with him, he can talk to you till tomorrow.

This kind of boring trick can be played occasionally. Yuan Shao didn't have so much time to waste on the Cui family, so Yuan Shao then said: "Patriarch Cui, do you think Xu Ding and Gongsun Zan will fight, who will win in the end?"

Patriarch Cui said: "Without the help of the envoy and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan would definitely be defeated!"

Yuan Shao also recognized this very much, Gongsun Zan's foundation is still a little weaker, and Youzhou was only won last year.

Moreover, the management is extensive. In name, it occupies half of Jizhou and most of Youzhou. In fact, his real base is only in Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Yuyang counties. Other places are in the hands of aristocratic families from all over the world. bigger. "

Moreover, he is extremely short of well-trained infantry, all cavalry represented by the Baima Yiren.

Xu Ding also has cavalry, although the number is smaller than Gongsun Zan's, but they are well equipped, and every one of them is an elite.

In addition, Wuhuan surrendered last year and was incorporated into the Guiyi Army, which also has a large number of war cavalry.

So Gongsun Zan does not have any advantage.

Moreover, he was threatened by Xu Ding's navy.

So Gongsun Zan lost [-]% of the battle.

Of course, if Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were willing to support Gongsun Zan behind their backs, the outcome of this battle would be [-]-[-]. It's hard to say how far it will go.

Yuan Shao said with a smile, "If that's the case, where does Youzhou go? Where does Jizhou go? Where does Qinghe go? I'm afraid that your old leisurely life will be disturbed by then. This Marquis of Weihai is not very willing to let people enjoy peace and prosperity day."

Xu Ding's governance strategy, but most of the interests of the aristocratic family will be sacrificed. Whether it is a legal acquisition or illegal suppression, a large part of the aristocratic family's land will inevitably be taken away.

How can a family with the old concept of guarding the land as its foundation make a choice?

So Yuan Shao was telling the Cui family that it was time for Qinghe to think about it.

Once Xu Ding launched an attack on Gongsun Zan, Qinghe would probably bear the brunt of it, next to Pingyuan County, it would be hard to escape bad luck.

The Patriarch of the Cui family pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is there any good way for Shi Jun to resolve these predicaments?"

"There is no good way, but there is a stupid way." Yuan Shao paused, and then said:

"Fight to the end, don't give up, don't give in, unite all forces that can be united, and fight to the end."

After being silent for a while, the Patriarch of the Cui family raised his head and said, "Is this really possible? Don't be bloody, and die in the end!"

"No, can everyone be willing? If there is a chance to escape, everyone will not choose to die. Marquis Weihai is not just against Jizhou and Youzhou, but against the whole world. If he can win for a while, can he win? I have won one life." Yuan Shao continued:
"Although we lost this time, we can't give up. Emperor Taizu Gao fought with Chu Xiangyu for four years and lost countless times. But with everyone's support, we stood up again and again and finally won the victory. We also told the aristocratic family , their support is correct and useful.

Although Xiang Yu was strong, he didn't have the support of everyone in the world. Didn't he also end up kissing himself in Wujiang in the end? "

"But Marquis Weihai is not Xiang Yu!" The Patriarch of the Cui family still said with deep concerns.

Yuan Shaodao: "We are not Taizu Emperor Gao, are we?"

The Patriarch of the Cui family was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then raised his glass and said: "The words of the envoy are really heart-to-heart words, okay, we are willing to assist the envoy, unite all the forces that can be united, and do it for everyone's tomorrow !"

The old man became even more ferocious when he became prosperous.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and toasted together.

It was a very harmonious and rewarding banquet.

After the banquet was over, Yuan Shao took everyone out of the city, and the camp was stationed outside the city, and they did not leave in a hurry.

After Yuan Shao and others left, the head of the Cui family called a young Cui family member to the study.

Then he asked: "Deru, did you hear what was said at the banquet?"

The young man replied: "Patriarch, the Yuan family is not stable in Jizhou, there are not many soldiers and horses, and they have been defeated by Weihaihou many times. Why should we agree to support him? Our Cui family's attitude has not been decided long ago, and no one can do it." Don't help, just sit and watch the world go by?"

The man's name was Cui Lin, and he had a cousin named Cui Yan. Cui Yan worshiped Zheng Xuan as his teacher, and studied art in Donglai.

So he felt that it was unnecessary for the Patriarch to ask him to connect with Yuan Shao.

Since you are optimistic about Xu Ding, then just invest in him.

The Patriarch of the Cui family sighed leisurely: "Eggs cannot be put in one basket. This is the general rule of our big families. Now that the world is in trouble, it is time for a difficult decision. Your brother Yan'er is with Marquis of Weihai, or After worshiping Zheng Xuan as his teacher, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a scholar.

Since our Cui family has two dragons, we naturally need to share a place to lie down.

After Yuan Shao is the fourth generation and the third prince, if anyone in this world can really compete with Marquis Weihai for the world, it must be him. "

Cui Lindao: "Patriarch, but I think besides Yuan Shao, there is another person who is also a hero, and he should have a place in the world of the day."

The head of the Cui family asked: "Who do you like?"

Cui Lindao: "Leaving aside Marquis Weihai, the second person should be Cao Cao!"

The Patriarch of the Cui family was stunned, he thought Cui Lin would choose Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, he was optimistic about Cao Cao, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Lin'er, Cao Cao is indeed good, but after he becomes an eunuch, how can he rule the world, besides, Yanzhou is the place where the four wars are fought, it is not easy to defend, and it is not easy to expand.

Didn't you hear what Xu Ziyuan said when he mocked Cao Cao?
He said that Cao Cao was so ambitious that he missed the investigation and was attacked by Xu Ding's cavalry. The eastern counties may also be taken by Xu Ding. Cao Cao's strength will inevitably be damaged, and it will be difficult to protect himself. "

Cui Lin was dumbfounded. In fact, he felt that Cao Cao's victory in the world was also a feeling. Reason told him that what the Patriarch of the Cui family said was reasonable might be right.

Not to mention that Cao Cao may lose half of Yanzhou now, even if he didn't, he would also face an embarrassing situation, with Er Yuan in the north and south, and Xu Ding in the east.

Cao Cao couldn't expand around at all.

As for Xiangxi, he is crazy to think that he can fight for Chang'an with his own strength.

"Lin'er, the most important thing now is that Yuan Shao's [-] troops are outside the city! Our Cui family has no choice." The head of the Cui family said helplessly.

If Yuan Shao hadn't come in person, and had raised [-] troops and stationed them outside the city, the devil would be willing to bet in advance.

Historically, the Cui family did not bet even after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou. It was not until Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao that he voted for Cao Cao and was promoted, which played a decisive role in the later growth of the Cui family. Only then did the Sui and Tang Dynasties come into being. The most famous Qinghe Cui family at that time.

How dare he deal with Yuan Shao now, so he had no choice but to send Cui Lin to join Yuan's Group, and at the same time, he had to contribute to Qinghe County to defect to Yuan Shao.

Of course, Yuan Shao's words also reached his heart.

Are you willing?
Of course not reconciled, which family doesn't want to develop, why should Xu Ding suppress it and give up the interests in his hands.

The world belongs to the family, not to each family.

The world is what we say.

When Yuan Shao left Dongwuyang, he took Cui Lin away and got Cui's support, which eased his bad mood.

It feels like sending troops this time has finally made up for something, and it's not all bad news.

Of course he didn't know that when he was wooing the Cui family, a war broke out in Yijing, Shangdang County, far away in Bingzhou.

The news of Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou quickly spread from Hanoi to Bingzhou. Li Su, who was paying close attention to the situation of the Central Route Army, received it immediately and sent troops to attack Shangdang.

Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, Cao Cao's backyard was on fire, and the Central Route Army was bound to fail in attacking Qingzhou, leading to the breakdown of the alliance.

If the attack on Xu fails, plan B must be implemented and Shangdang County must be swallowed.

Therefore, Li Su, who had secretly gathered his soldiers and horses, immediately set out and went south.

This time he went south, he quietly mobilized Liu He and other ministries in the north.

As Liu Yu's son, Liu He originally defected to Liu Bei and counted on him to help him avenge him.

But Liu Bei helped Gongsun Zan fight Xu Ding instead, which made Liu He and his subordinates Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others very dissatisfied.

Li Su recruited Liu He to comfort him in every possible way: "Boye, my master, this is also a helpless move. You have also seen that our army in Bingzhou is weak, while the army in Youzhou is strong. My master is acting like a fool, otherwise he will be killed." Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan conspired to attack.

If my lord is defeated, how can I help Bo Ye take revenge for you.

Therefore, we should first base ourselves on the development of Boye, and when we grow stronger, we will have the strength to fight Gongsun Zan. Only in this way can we be sure of victory.

As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but Boye bears with it. My lord does not need ten years, he can take revenge for you within three years. "

Liu He said sullenly, "Even so, there's no need to fight against Marquis Weihai. We can cooperate with him and attack Gongsun Zan from east to west. This is not only easier, but also takes less time."

"No, no, no, Bo Ye, you are thinking too simply. Xu Ding is a powerful and ambitious person, and he doesn't call for any allies or cooperation. We will fight with him in Youzhou. In the end, Youzhou belongs to him only. The person we all kill, he is dominating the world, we can only become enemies with him." Li Su shook his head and said:
"Besides, if he fights Gongsun Zan, we may not know how long it will take. It happens that they consume each other. We take advantage of this time to eliminate Yuan Shao, so that we have the strength, whether it is to eliminate Gongsun Zan or fight against Xu Ding, we will have the strength.

At that time, not only will you be able to take revenge, but you will also be able to take back Youzhou with the support of my lord. "

Liu He thought for a moment and said, "So we have to eat Shangdang first?"

Li Su knew that Liu He was moved, but there was no way Liu He was too young, and the city was not deep enough.

"That's right, the only way is to take down Shangdang, so we can go out in two ways, attacking Huanglong from the north and west to attack Yecheng and eat Jizhou." Li Su coaxed:

"As long as Boye can make great contributions in this battle, it will be easier for me to lobby the generals with the lord, and there will be more people who support Boye, and there will be more talented people who know Boye in the whole world.

At that time, it will be easier for you to take back Youzhou, and more people will follow and pledge their allegiance. "
