Great Military Division

Chapter 408 Fighting cattle across the mountain!

And state.

Taiyuan County.

Wang family, study room.

Wang Yun frowned, his eyes widened with anger, and he stared fixedly at the "Calling for Thieves" in his hand, trembling uncontrollably. Although he didn't say a word, he was obviously furious and filled with righteous indignation.

Wang Gai hurried forward and bowed: "Father, you must take care of your health. Who would have known that the Yuan family of four generations and three fathers could do such an outrageous thing."

"Ugh-!"

Wang Gai shook his head and sighed: "I have always followed the Yuan family as an example, but in the end I found out that the Yuan family is the real villain. You don't know how angry I am."

"Father, you."

Before Wang Gai could continue to persuade, he was interrupted by Wang Yun directly waving his hand: "Okay, there is no need to say any more. I understand the truth better than you. The most important thing now is, what should we do next?"

Without hesitation, Wang Gai said sonorously, "Is there any need to say that? Naturally, we have to join the Nanyang Hanting. Even if we made mistakes, we can make up for it, and we must not help the evildoers."

"As long as Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses are killed, we will surrender the city immediately, and we must tell Zhang Liao about Lin County. I hope he can send people to occupy it as soon as possible."

"Junshou Zhang is a former student of Yuan's family, and he is greatly favored by Yuan Kui. Although this incident has come out, we have no way to figure out how he will make a decision, and we cannot pin our hopes on him."

"I think."

Wang Gai pondered for a moment, then continued: "This guy surnamed Zhang may not believe the "Call to Thieves", and he may even forcefully cross the river, enter the pass, and rush to help Yuan Kai."

"Yes."

Wang Yun nodded in agreement.

Although he had not been in contact with Zhang Junshou for too long, he could feel his respect and absolute loyalty to the Yuan family from his words.

Although there are no omissions in this "Call to Thieves" in terms of evidence, it is a bit unbelievable after all, and not everyone will believe it, especially the part where Yuan Di denounced Yuan Kai, which is even more suspicious.

of course!

The reason why Wang Yun chose to believe it was because he was in Luoyang, and he was quite familiar with the events of the year. Since Yang Ci's death, Yuan Kui's weight in the court has become more and more important.

It's a pity that this person has always been a vegetarian, and he feels like a good old man, so no one has ever doubted him. Even if he failed to stop Dong Zhuo at the beginning, others would not subconsciously put the blame on Yuan Kai.

Therefore, even Wang Yun ignored Yuan Kui's factors, and just locked more vision on Dong Zhuo in advance, and never looked for suspicious points from Yuan's family.

"so."

Wang Yun thought for a moment, then ordered: "You quickly contact the Guo family, the Li family and other aristocratic families to find out what they say. If they are willing to submit to Nanyang Hanting, we can act together."

After all, the conversion of Nanyang Hanting's land from private ownership to public ownership is not good news for the aristocratic family, but they should be able to make the right choice in the face of the possible risk of genocide.

In fact, in Bingzhou, the most, most, and least willing family to submit to Nanyang Hanting is the Wang family of Bingzhou. After all, they are the largest family in Bingzhou, not one of them.

Once they submit to the Nanyang Hanting, it means that the imperial government's government orders in Nanyang will also have miraculous effects on them, and they will surely face the same situation as the Deng family and the Yin family.

Today, Nanyang Hanting's yield per mu has reached four stones and five buckets, and their private fields are really no longer attractive in front of the poor people.

but
What Yuan Kai has done now has touched Wang Yun's bottom line.

It is absolutely impossible for him to collude with such a person and not allow such a person to tarnish his noble morality.

Wang Gai bowed his hands and said softly: "Father, don't worry, if we want to submit to Nanyang, how can they refuse, they will definitely obey, and I will contact each family as soon as possible to work together."

The Nanyang Han court supports the small gentry, which is known to all the gentry in the world, so the rich and small gentry still have a certain degree of affection for Nanyang.

In the past, it was possible to become an official only by relying on the recommendation of a big family, but now as long as you pass the knowledge and pass the exam, you can become an official. For the small gentry, this kind of thing is definitely a blessing from heaven.

The reason why they agreed to Wang Yun before was mainly because Chang'an Hanting offered a relatively high price, but Nanyang Hanting never sent anyone to contact them, so they agreed.

But now it's completely different. Yuan Kui's reputation has been discredited and he has become the initiator of shaking the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the shocking explosion of the Nanyang Han Court in Baibo Valley, they have completely recognized the gap between the two sides. It would be strange if they didn't agree.

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of announcement outside the study.

Wang Yun looked up.

However, a servant came in hurriedly, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, report back from the horse hunt today. When Zhang Liao attacked Pingtao County, he suddenly turned to Lin County with his elite troops."

"what?"

Wang Yun couldn't believe it: "Zhang Liao brought people to kill Lin County?"

Wang Gai was even more surprised: "Lin County?"

The attendant nodded with absolute certainty: "That's right, it's absolutely true. General Zhang originally planned to ambush the enemy soldiers and horses on the way, but now he has temporarily changed his plan and rushed to Lin County with his troops and horses."

hiss-!
Surprised, Wang Yun gasped, his eyes full of disbelief.

He couldn't believe it.

Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses suddenly turned to Lin County.

This is definitely not a coincidence, but knowing in advance that Lin County can cross the river and rush to Guanzhong, so the first time they came here, they had to occupy Lin County in advance, completely deciding the way to enter Guanzhong.

Amazing!
It's really amazing!
You know, even Wang Yun, who was born and bred in Bingzhou, didn't know that there would be a road leading to Guanzhong in Lin County.

How could Nanyang, who was thousands of miles away, lock the target in advance, and with the power of thunder, completely occupy it before launching the general attack!

Nanyang took the lead in every step. Even if Yuan Wei was still a loyal minister, he might not be Nanyang's opponent. The opponent could be said to have crushed Chang'an in terms of strategy and tactics.

Wang Yun breathed out: "Gaier, act quickly, otherwise we won't even have a chance to surrender."

Naturally, Wang Gai understood the urgency and nodded quickly: "Okay, my son will contact the Guo family today."

Wang Yun nodded: "Well, remember to state your interests clearly. This "Appeal to Thieves" has completely sentenced Yuan Kai to death, and even the entire Yuan family."

Wang Gai bowed his body and cupped his hands, and responded sonorously: "Father, don't worry, I will leave this matter to my son. I promise to contact all the noble families such as the Guo family and Li family as quickly as possible."

Wang Yun nodded: "Go quickly."

******
Youzhou, Jicheng.

on the city head.

Liu Yu stared at the empty city, Yuan Shao didn't attack today?
He frowned with disbelief on his face.

"Have you sent someone out of the city to investigate?"

After Liu Yu's tour of the city was over, he turned to look at Wei You.

"It's been thrown out."

Wei You nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, my lord."

Liu Yu let out a sigh of relief, and then he calmed down: "What kind of medicine do you think Yuan Shao sells in this gourd? We were clearly unable to hold on, but he stopped attacking."

Liu Yu racked his brains, but he couldn't come up with a reason. This was originally a good thing, but he became more and more flustered. After all, he knew Yuan Shao and would never give up lightly.

"this."

Wei You was also puzzled, and his frown did not relax: "The subordinates are also not clear, but don't worry, my lord, I have sent someone to investigate, and I think there will be a reply soon."

"Let's take this opportunity, according to Zitai's opinion, to demolish some buildings in the city and use them as stones and rolling logs to make up for the lack of defensive equipment."

"kindness."

Liu Yu nodded affirmatively: "Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, why not seize such a good opportunity and leave this matter to Xian Yufu. He has always been responsible for communicating with the people."

"it is good!"

Wei You deeply agreed: "My subordinates also think the same way."

"My lord—!"

"My lord—!"

At this moment, a call sounded in the city.

It's Tianchou!
Liu Yu judged it all at once.

Ever since he learned that Tian Chou was the long history of the school government in Youzhou, Liu Yu trusted Tian Chou more and more.

After all, the current him can only rely on Nanyang, and there is no other way to go.

He hurried to the inner wall and looked in the direction of the sound.

really!

Tian Chou rushed over, shaking something in his hand, and was waving at him: "Zitai, I'm here."

Tian Chou raised his head, found Liu Yu, and immediately walked towards the city: "Master, I may know the reason why Yuan Shao retreated."

"Oh?"

Liu Yu was surprised: "You know?"

Tian Chouen nodded, and handed the "Call for Thieves" in his hand to Liu Yu: "Master, this is the "Call for Thieves" issued by the court, which involves Chang'an Shanggong Taifu Yuan Wei."

"what?"

Liu Yu became more and more confused.

Yuan Shao's retreat was actually because of the "Call to Thieves"?
No, according to the normal rhythm, Yuan Shao should attack more violently.

He immediately took over the call to action, and started to read it with curiosity: "I have heard: those who do good will be rewarded with blessings; those who do wrong will be rewarded with disaster; Heaven and earth are not blessed, and people and gods are all angry!"

"."

hiss-!
Liu Yu's eyeballs swept across in a hurry, and he gasped in shock, cold sweat dripping down his body.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

So, I read it twice carefully, back and forth, especially the part about the evidence, and read every point N times repeatedly.

"how can that be?"

Even Liu Yu himself couldn't believe what was written in "A Call for Thieves": "Yuan Kai would do such a thing?"

Tian Chou was even more shocked than Liu Yu when he received the letter from Feige in "Calling for Thieves", but after reading the evidence inside, he was convinced of it:

"My lord, my subordinates also didn't believe it before, but judging from the chain of evidence, this matter is absolutely true, and since the imperial court dared to make it public, it proves that it has obtained an internal consensus."

"Combining today's events, it is not difficult to imagine that something must have happened within Yuan Shao's army. Some courtiers loyal to the Han Dynasty will definitely not accept such a fact."

"I think."

Speaking of this, Tian Chou looked at the vaguely visible camp outside the city: "Yuan Shao has no choice but to retreat. He must first solve internal problems before he can concentrate his forces and continue to attack the city."

"That's right!"

And Wei You nodded and said: "Those who follow Yuan Shao, although many are former disciples of the Yuan family, but no matter how much they receive the great favor of the Yuan family, they are still loyal to the Han Dynasty, not the Yuan family. "

"Now, the Yuan family is attempting to rebel, and it has caused great chaos in the world, causing the people to live in dire straits. Such a crime is really just like what His Majesty said in the proclamation, the heaven and the earth are not blessed, and the people and gods are indignant!"

"For us, this is a good thing. At least we can take a breath. If Yuan Shao can't suppress his internal subordinates, it may even cause mutiny. This will be more interesting."

Liu Yu shook his head: "Impossible! If you really want to mutiny, you may have mutinied long ago, but there is no movement so far, which proves that Yuan Shao has controlled the situation."

"Yes."

Tian Chou followed up and said: "So, Yuan Shao will make a comeback in a short time. This time the attack will definitely be more violent. We must prepare well before his attack."

Liu Yu said softly: "Don't worry, Zitai, I have already ordered Xian Yufu to send people to demolish some ancestral halls in the city, and prepare more stones and rolling logs in case of accidents."

"not enough!"

Tian Chou shook his head and said sonorously: "These are far from enough. We should demolish more houses, take out all the beams and stones, and use them to defend the city."

"what?"

Before Liu Yu could speak, Wei You couldn't help it anymore: "Zitai, are you crazy? You demolished the houses of ordinary people, how could they agree!"

"If you don't agree, you have to agree."

Tian Chou was very stubborn, and there was no room for relaxation: "Tell the common people, when Yuan Shao is defeated, the imperial court will build houses for them."

"And it's still the kind of house that is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the house that the people of Nanyang currently live in. Don't be afraid of these petty profits. We will rebuild it after breaking it. The most important thing right now is to keep Jicheng!"

"Yes."

Liu Yu nodded affirmatively: "Once Yuan Shao comes back, the offensive will be even fiercer. How many rocks and logs can we get just by relying on the ancestral halls and other buildings in the city?"

"Zihe!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked up at Wei You, and said very solemnly: "I will leave this matter to you. You must convince the people in Jicheng to help me tide over the difficulties."

Wei You naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement: "My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely persuade the people to demolish the house, and we will build a new one in the future."

Liu Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work."

Wei You cupped his hands: "This is the duty of the subordinates."

*****
Outside Jicheng.

Yuan Shao's camp.

Central Army, big tent.

Yuan Shao sat at the head, his piercing eyes swept across the civil and military personnel, holding the "Call to Thieves" in his hand, there was no trace of fear on his face, let alone a sense of shame.

"Do you really believe it to be true?"

Although Yuan Shao's voice was gentle, it was sonorous and forceful, resounding loudly: "That's right, it was Yuan who proposed the idea of ​​summoning strong generals from all directions to Beijing."

"but."

Turning the subject, Yuan Shao went straight to the topic, and said sharply: "At that time, the eunuchs controlled the court, controlled the army, and even the captain of the eighth captain of Xiyuan, the captain of the army, was a young man from the yellow family."

"Even I, Yuan Shao, have to obey the orders of Jian Shuo from the Huang family since childhood. If we don't call strong generals from all directions to the capital, how can we deter the eunuchs, how can we force the queen mother to exterminate these eunuchs!"

"at this point."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Chunyu Qiong who had rushed over from Yecheng: "You can ask General Chunyu, he was also one of the eight captains of Xiyuan back then."

"The purpose of His Majesty's establishment of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan is to compete with General He Jin and increase the eunuch's power in the court. The actual command of this army is with Jian Shuo."

Chunyu Qiong immediately took a step forward, glanced at the crowd, and nodded: "That's right, it is indeed as my lord said, it is much more complicated than what Bill and the others imagined."

"Cao Cao mentioned in the proclamation was able to enter the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan precisely because he was an eunuch. In a sense, he was the assassin of the eunuch in the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan. "

In an instant, all the civil and military officials were shocked, each of them showed a look of astonishment, and subconsciously began to chatter:

"The captain of the eighth captain of Xiyuan seems to be really an eunuch."

"The power of eunuchs in Luoyang is indeed very great."

"That's right, Cao Cao is the eunuch Cao Teng's successor."

"Things are really not that simple."

"."

Facing all the civil and military people who had already become suspicious, Yuan Shao spoke again, adding fuel to the fire: "That's right, Cao Cao did prevent the idea of ​​calling four powerful generals."

"What are you talking about, you just need to put him in prison, it's a big joke, if the ten servants are so easy to put in prison, how can they be so powerful?"

"You will know!"

As far as this is concerned, Yuan Shao's voice became harsh again: "The Queen Mother He's biological sister is the daughter-in-law of Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang. Even if the General He Jin entered the palace in person, the Queen Mother He did not agree to wipe out the eunuchs."

"Put it in prison?"

"Humph!"

Yuan Shao snorted angrily: "On the surface, it does make a lot of sense, but in fact, this kind of suggestion doesn't work at all, because someone above is protecting eunuchs to death!"

"If we don't rely on external force, how can we wipe out the eunuchs? It's just a coincidence that Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and found His Majesty. We had no choice but to do so."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lin took another step forward, bowed her body and cupped her hands and said, "Everyone, I was also the head of the General's Mansion back then, and I also witnessed what happened that day with my own eyes."

"Cao Cao did make a suggestion, but everyone agreed that it would not work, especially General He Jin, because he knew his sister very well."

"You should be clear that your Majesty is young and the Empress Dowager is in court. If she doesn't speak of Jinkou, no one will be able to touch the ten servants, even the great general He Jin."

The full account of civil and military affairs boiled again:

"It sounds reasonable."

"Could it be that you were forced to do nothing?"

"The power of the eunuch is too strong, so we must rely on external force."

"It's a pity, it's Dong Zhuo, he's too difficult to control."

"Cao Cao's testimony is indeed pale."

"."

Seeing more and more civil and military men who had entered the period of hesitation below, Yuan Shao secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise once this matter was publicized, the army would probably mutiny.

Listening to the civil and military discussions below, Yuan Shao felt that the time was more mature, so he continued: "Besides, how could Taifu Yuan Di identify my Yuan family?"

"Don't you think it's strange? Years ago, because of Yuan Sui's incident, King Hongnong wiped out the Yuan family in Guangling and wiped out the three clans. Why did Yuan Di appear at this time?"

"Who is this person?"

"Is it Taifu Yuan Di?"

"Isn't it possible to be a fake?"

"Even if it's true"

The continuous scolding made Yuan Shao's momentum suddenly soar: "Could it be possible that he was tortured into a trick? Taifu Yuan Di is my Yuan family. Doesn't he know that this is a great crime to destroy the three clans?"

"joke!"

Yuan Shao scolded angrily, his eyes were like swords, revealing a faint murderous look: "It is clear that this is a deliberate attempt to frame my Yuan family. I will never believe that Taifu Yuan Di will publicly identify my uncle."

"I, the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. If I wanted to rebel, I would have rebelled long ago. How can I wait until now? King Hongnong is only afraid of my Yuan family's power, so he wants to find ways to weaken my Yuan family. "

Yuan Shao was really furious, so he didn't do anything, and directly charged Liu Bian with intentional slander. In the chain of evidence, he had to forcibly find out some stains, in order to pray to keep his own personality.

At this moment, Guo Tuheng took another step and said softly: "I think everyone should know that Nanyang Hanting has been weakening the power of the aristocratic family."

"This point can be seen from Nanyang's Deng family, Yin family and other families. King Hongnong used a series of means to take his family's cultivated land back to the court."

"The same is true of the previous assassination incidents."

Guo Tu immediately reversed the nature of the matter and turned it into King Hongnong's deliberate suppression: "If you don't believe me, you can inquire about it."

"After the Yuan family in Runan and the Yuan family in Guangling were exterminated, will all their land be taken into public ownership, and then the local governments will use these lands to attract tenants to cultivate, so as to have a certain red-sucking effect on the rest of the gentry .”

"Everyone."

Guo Tu said coldly: "Isn't King Hongnong's intention obvious?"

In the next second, the full account of civil servants and military generals boiled up again, and the voices of each discussion became louder:
"It seems to be true. Isn't that how the Nanyang Confucius family started?"

"If you don't have arable land resources in hand, it will be difficult to achieve that effect at the very beginning."

"That's right, that's true. King Hongnong's methods are indeed very powerful."

"Since King Hongnong wants to deal with the Deng family and the Yin family, he will naturally not spare the larger Yuan family."

"It's despicable, it's so despicable, it's slander."

"Even if you slander anything, you are free to do so, but to slander the Yuan family's rebellion, I am the first one not to agree."

"We don't agree, why should we slander Yuan Gong!"

"This is wrong, we don't agree!"

"That's right, absolutely can't agree."
