I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 368 Yuan Shu hesitated, Cao Cao instigated

Yuan Shu is very greedy. Taking advantage of the opportunity to quell the disaster of the Black Mountain Army in Yanzhou, he wants to take the opportunity to seize the actual authority of this place in the Central Plains and become the lord of the Central Plains.

You know, Liu Jian's conquest of Youzhou also relied on this routine.

Take advantage of the opportunity of war to expand your own strength, master the main local resources, and at the same time severely suppress those who do not obey him.

In other matters, Yuan Shu may not have much ability, but when it comes to suppressing those who disobey him, Yuan Shu seems to be very enthusiastic.

Now, in Yanzhou, Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, is very convinced of him.

Cao Cao was convinced, and Yuan Shu looked down on the other young people.

In Yuan Shu's eyes, compared with Cao Cao, those people are more than a thousand miles away, and they are not at the same level at all.

Cao Cao obeyed his own words, so what are the others?
Count ass.

In order to show his achievements, Yuan Shu set up a banquet on the grounds of rectifying and discussing the people's livelihood of Yanzhou in the future, and invited all the prefects of Yanzhou and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, to meet him in Puyang and discuss the future of Yanzhou.

Before inviting these people, Yuan Shu imagined that, as a state shepherd, he was also a member of the Yuan family in Runan, and he was the hero who defeated the Black Mountain Army and Yu Fuluo this time. Grace.

I am so awesome now, if I tell them to come, how can they not come?
In the end, the result is...

Of all the people Yuan Shu invited, none came.

The whole Yuan Shu had an illusion at the beginning. Could it be that the person he sent told them the wrong time?

Afterwards, Yuan Shu became angry.

……

When the Black Mountain Army and Yu Fuluo threatened the region in Yanzhou, the major forces in Yanzhou may allow Yuan Shu to integrate the local forces in order to quell the banditry as soon as possible.

Now, Yu Du and others have retreated. In a sense, the warlords in Yanzhou can no longer use Yuan Shu.

This meant that Yuan Shu was powerful and tyrannical, most people would not dare to turn against him easily, otherwise, with the pissing nature of people like Yanzhou, they would have turned their backs on Yuan Shu long ago.

You are a Yangzhou Beimu envoy, what are you showing off with us in the Central Plains?

Therefore, Yuan Shu may not be a good thing, nor are Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, and Wang Fen... That's right, after Cao Cao moved to be the governor of Dongjun County, Yuan Shao's die-hard younger brother Wang Fen was ordered to become Shanyang Prefect.

These warlords plus Cao Cao had already treated Yuan Shao a little bit obediently, let alone Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu set up a big banquet in Puyang, waiting for the warlords of Yanzhou to give him a "Wan Bang Lai Chao".

But the real big ear scraper slapped his face.

……

"Snapped--!"

In front of all his subordinates and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu became furious and threw all the bamboo slips and inkstones on the table on the ground.

People in this era have more or less such problems.

He loves to throw things on the ground when he gets angry.

"All the insects, insects!"

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and roared, his teeth creaking.

The people below - the generals of the Huainan line didn't even dare to say a word, they could only silently listen to Yuan Shu's anger.

On the other hand, Cao Cao was sitting on the side of Yuan Shu, the old god was stroking his long beard, seemingly oblivious to what was going on in front of him.

"Munde!"

Yuan Shu suddenly turned to look at Cao Cao.

"Meng De, you are the one who lured me to Yanzhou. At the beginning, you said that I would gain the hearts of the Central Plains if I went to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion. You also said that if I could send troops here, I would definitely win the support of all families! I would become the master of the Central Plains."

"But now, Yuan has worked so hard to help you get rid of the disaster of the Black Mountain Army, why did you treat me coldly in the blink of an eye?"

Cao Cao sighed: "Gaolu, there are some things that cannot be controlled by someone. I am really ashamed. Gonglu is so selfless. He came to the Central Plains from a long distance for the sake of the country. He was willing to risk arrows and fearless spears. He finally drove out the bandits. I don't want people to be so cold on the highway, it's really disappointing."

"Oh, it's just..."

When talking about this, Cao Cao suddenly became hesitant to speak.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing what he meant.

Yuan Shu turned his head to look at the others and said, "Let's retreat first!"

"only!"

Everyone withdrew from the hall, leaving only Cao Cao and Yuan Shu inside.

"Meng De, everyone is gone, if you have anything to say, just say so."

"Ha ha."

After Cao Cao heard this, he just put away his helpless and pitiful face just now, and said with a smile: "Gaolu, why worry? Everyone in the world is like this. When they use you, they flatter you, and when they don't use you." , they treated each other coldly, these people are now all shepherds, and each has soldiers under his command. In the past, when they respected the original, they suspected of being self-reliant after a long time, let alone you? You blocked them in Yanzhou How can they not be angry or jealous?"

After hearing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Besides, after all, you are still the Beimu envoy of Yangzhou, not the lord of Yanzhou. In name, it is reasonable for them to disobey your control. Why are you angry?"

Yuan Shu is not a dull person, he naturally knows what Cao Cao said.

It's just that the number is counted, and the one who should be angry is still angry.

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes: "Then what should we do? Could it be that Yuan is here to put down their rebellion for nothing?"

Cao Cao said: "That's not true. In fact, for these people, you only need to kill a hundred people to make things happen. The land of the Central Plains will naturally belong to you."

"Kill one as an example to others?"

Yuan Shu stroked his beard: "It is indeed a feasible strategy, but who can I kill to deter others?"

Cao Cao said: "Yanzhou Fang Bo, Liu Dai, the governor, can be killed."

"Liu Dai..."

Yuan Shu seemed to be pondering the feasibility of this matter.

"Why did you choose him specifically?"

Cao Cao said: "First of all, although Liu Dai is a famous family, he is a clan relative, and his position is more or less opposite to yours, so he can be killed."

"Um……"

"Secondly, Liu Dai arbitrarily recruited troops to seize power in Yanzhou and killed Qiao Mao. Even though he is the governor and has the responsibility of supervision, he has no right to punish the prefect!"

"The crime of killing two thousand stones without authorization is not a small one. It is a conspiracy to rebel."

"If Gonglu wants to crusade against Liu Dai, he can use this as a pretext. While sending people to the court to confess Chen Liu Dai's crimes to the emperor, he secretly dispatched troops to take down this person."

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "It's a good strategy."

"It's just that Liu Dai is in charge of the army of the Department of Governors. He is very powerful. Although I am not afraid of him, if I fight him head-on like this, I am afraid that the loss will be not small."

Cao Cao said: "There is no need to fight head-on. As far as I know, although Yu Du withdrew his troops to the border of Dongjun, he did not completely withdraw. This insect must have the intention to return to Yanzhou to rob."

"Since that's the case, why not use poison to deal with Liu Dai, and then raise your troops to defeat Heishan, not only can you collect all Liu Dai's people, but you can also use it to make a name for yourself. If you do this, the other prefects of Yanzhou will be convinced by you."

"It can be said to be one stroke!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu's heart became more assured.

He slapped the table heavily, and said: "Very good, since that's the case, can you ask Meng De to design it for me?"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and said, "There is nothing I can do!"

……

……

After leaving the prefect's mansion in Dongjun, he came to his army outside the city. Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other direct descendants greeted Cao Cao.

After hearing what Cao Cao told about today's events, everyone felt injustice in their hearts.

Xiahou Dun said: "Meng De is the prefect of Dongjun, but now he wants to give up the mansion in Puyang to Yuan Gonggong to live in and design for him. What kind of virtue does Yuan Gonggong have to let us do this for him?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Gonglu doesn't have much virtue, but he has Jiujiang and Lujiang, two rich and large counties, which can be used for our troops to develop our strength. Isn't this worth my planning for him?"

Cao Renqi said: "However, killing Liu Dai will make all the prefects in Yanzhou fear him and submit to him. This seems to be beneficial to Yuan Gonglu."

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it seems so on the surface, but in fact, all kinds of interests are very serious, especially to kill Liu Dai, and to borrow the hands of the Heishan army. If this matter spreads, it may not be beneficial to him Yuan Gonglu, you wait Don't worry, let's just look at it as a brother."

Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others all bowed their hands after hearing the words: "No!"
