I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 444 Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao
The current Yuan Shao is still extremely strong. Although he does not have the horses in the north, nor the sturdy soldiers in the north, he occupies Runan and Nanyang, the two counties that rank first and second in the world, and he is able to use The reputation of the Yuan family has called on members of the world's most famous families and famous scholars to join them and know how to use the resources of these families.

Of course, the more resources you use from the various families, the more you give and pay.

The fundamental difference between Yuan Shao and Liu Jian is that Liu Jian bestows kindness on the common people, while Yuan Shao bestows ambition on the powerful.

The more famous families under Yuan Shao, the stronger his strength, but because of this, he also has his difficulties.

For example, once something is related to the interests of the prominent families under his command, these prominent families will each divide into parties for their own interests, and all advice will be based on the interests of their own families.

Such remonstrance is deceptive, and sometimes it is difficult for Yuan Shao to tell which remonstrance is really beneficial to him.

But now, Lu Bu and Niu Fu were defeated, and Cao Cao lost his confidant Xiahou Dun, and it is said that he has fallen ill.

Even Yuan Shu in the Central Plains took the opportunity to raise troops and headed towards Yuzhou and Huainan.

With the overall situation being one-sided, a large group of celebrities and representatives of prominent families under Yuan Shao's command also divided into two factions for the benefit of each family.

After Yuan Shao occupied Jingzhou, the famous Jingchu families headed by the Nanyang County Zhu families belonged to the same faction.

Their interest is to make Yuan Shao give up the Sizhou dispute, withdraw to Jingzhou, and stick to the local forces.

Because this is the best choice for the local prominent families in Jingchu.

When Yuan Shao arrived in Nanyang at the beginning of the year, although the prestige of the Yuan family could attract heroes from all over the world, since Yuan Shao took Nanyang County of Jingzhou as his base, the first echelon of prominent families he appointed were naturally from Jingzhou.

Although later on, many famous people from other prefectures and counties headed by Yuzhou joined Yuan Shao's power group, but in terms of political status and resource division, most of them were still used by the famous family groups in Jingchu.

But this time Yuan Shao's battle against Sizhou was not a good thing in the eyes of the native Jingchu clan.

But for people who are not native of Jingzhou, it is a great good thing.

Once Sizhou is occupied by Yuan Shao, Luoyang's local prominent families and aristocratic families will join Yuan Shao's command, and at that time, the cake of Yuan Shao Group will be enlarged!

After all, Sizhou was the very center of the world, and it was also the former capital of the king. The interests there were so great that it would never lose to any state in the Han Dynasty.

Once the cake is enlarged, the interests will increase, and there will be more groups of noble families joining Yuan Shao's command, then the interests will naturally be re-divided due to huge changes. advantage.

Therefore, there is now a big disagreement between the two parties.

After Xi Zhicai came to Yuan Shao's camp, he explained to Yuan Shao the predicament Cao Cao was currently facing.

At the same time, he also informed Yuan Shao that Cao Cao was currently furious because of Xiahou Dun's death, suffered from a headache, and was unable to act as a director. He could only rest in the commander's tent and handed over all the affairs in the camp to the management of his generals.

The situation was urgent, Yuan Shao didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately called all the people under Qi's command to discuss.

After the main gentry groups in Jingzhou and Yuzhou came to Yuan Shao's tent, they listened to Yuan Shao's description of the current situation, and then there was a representative of the Yingchuan scholars, Xun Yi from the Yingchuan Xun family, who stood up.

Xun Fai originally went to join Yuan Shu at the request of the Xun family, but Yuan Shu failed and lost Huairu's base.

After Xun Fai's observation, Yuan Shu has basically been eliminated by the world, and is currently in the stage of lingering, so there is no need for him to continue to follow Yuan Shu.

Therefore, under Xun Chen's recommendation, Xun Wei joined Yuan Shao's command.

Yuan Shao welcomed Xun Fai's arrival very much, not for anything else, just because he was the son of Xun Shuang, the only surviving member of the Xun family's eight dragons, Yuan Shao treated him as his guest of honor.

And because of the identity of Xun Shuang's son, Xun Fai naturally became one of the leaders of Yuan Shao's Ruying Group.

"General, although Lu Bu is defeated and Cao Cao is injured, I, Jingyu, have paid too much for Sizhou this time, and even though Liu Jian is difficult to defeat, if the general muster all his strength to gather the people of Jingyu and gather in the south Jia Bing, combined with the power of all clans, might not be able to compete with Liu Jian. If Sizhou can get into the hands of the general, the general's prestige will be greatly boosted. This is an opportunity, the general must not back down!"

People in the Ruying family all hoped that Yuan Shao would make the cake bigger and then re-divide the interests, so Xun Fei naturally took the initiative to persuade Yuan Shao to fight Liu Jian.

After hearing Xun Fai's words, Yuan Shao was very pleased.

"Your words are justified! The matter has come to this, how can we not fight Liu Jian?"

"No!"

Before he finished speaking, Pang Ji, a native of Nanyang, stood up.

Among the various clans in Nanyang, Pang Ji and Xu You had known Yuan Shao since they were young, so they were the most valued by Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao settled in Jingzhou, Xu You and Pang Ji became Yuan Shao's subordinates because their families were both in Nanyang County. The most powerful mastermind.

Yuan Shao asked, "What does Yuan Tu have to say?"

"My lord, even though our southern army has the strength to fight the northern army, we will arrive first in the land of Sizhou. The soldiers often leave their homeland for a long time, and they are homesick. Winter is coming, and the winter in Sizhou is colder. However, Liu Jian's subordinates are all barbarians from the north, and they are not afraid of the cold. In this winter season, it is very disadvantageous to fight against them. It is better to withdraw the army for the time being and make a plan from the beginning. "

Yuan Shao stroked his beautiful beard, thinking carefully about Pang Ji's words.

"Yes, the climate is not acclimatized, and the winter is cold. This is indeed a major disadvantage... Yuan Tu's words are reasonable..."

"Mr. Pang's statement is absurd!"

A young scholar on the side stood up.

This person is Du Xi from Yingchuan County.

Although Du Xi was young, his family was very famous. His grandfather was Du Gen, the prefect of Jiyin, one of the four famous scholars in Yingchuan.

Due to the frequent wars in the Central Plains, the Du family of Yingchuan moved to Jingzhou to avoid the chaos. They were unwilling to become officials, so they temporarily lived in Changsha in the south of Jingzhou.

After Sun Jianjian's four counties in Jingnan, Yuan Shao heard that the Du family had arrived in Changsha, so he invited him with generous gifts.

The Yuan family in Runan had too much influence in Yingchuan. It was okay for the Du family to reject those surnamed Liu, but it was not easy to reject those surnamed Yuan. Therefore, Du Xi became an official under Yuan Shao's account. Yuan Shao was promoted to be a military counselor.

"What is Zixu's opinion?"

Du Xi said: "Pang Gong's words are wrong to the country! The general has spent money and food, and damaged soldiers. How can he give up halfway after he has reached this point? Besides, even if the general can't occupy Sizhou, he can't let Liu Jian occupy Sizhou. In this way, the passage to Chang'an in the Guanzhong will be blocked by Liu Jian in the future. Once something happens in Chang'an in the future, Zhu Mu will guard the capital, and Liu Jian will send heavy troops to Hulao to block the passage of the princes in the Guandong. Is it a good time?"

Yuan Shao patted his forehead suddenly when he heard the words, and said: "What Zixu reminded is that the real vision is far-sighted!"

"Hehehehe..."

There was a burst of laughter.

Then, I saw a middle-aged man walking out.

As soon as this person came out, the complexions of the people in the Ruying family changed a little.

It was none other than Kuai Liang, the patriarch of the Kuai clan of Xiangyang in Nanjun County.

Regardless of his reputation, skills, or popularity, this person is among the best in the counties of the Hanjiang River, and he can be regarded as a heavyweight under Yuan Shao's current command.

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and said, "What do you want to say to Zirou?"

Kuai Liang saluted Yuan Shao: "Du Zixu's words just now are very reasonable, but his vision is too far away, but he can't see clearly the present."

After finishing speaking, Kuai Liang turned around slowly, looked at Du Xi, and asked, "Dare to ask Zixu, in the land of Sizhou, in your opinion, Liu Jian is the only enemy of our army, right?"

Du Xi never expected that Kuai Liang would ask him such a question, although he didn't understand what he meant, he still said loudly, "Naturally!"

Kuai Liang nodded, and said, "Okay, then let me ask Zi Xu, if our army fights Liu Jian, will it be possible to win a big victory and defeat him?"

Faced with such a sensitive issue, Du Xi naturally couldn't talk nonsense. After all, Liu Jian's Hebei Army's combat power is famous all over the world, and the world can see it.

"Liu Jian has a strong army and a strong horse. If he wants to win completely, it may not be realistic. The three armies must be united and the soldiers must use their lives!"

"That is to say, even if you win him, you will suffer a lot of damage?"

Du Xi cupped his hands coldly and said, "Mr. Zirou has something to say, why bother to cover it up!"

"Okay, then I'll just say it."

Kuai Yue turned around and saluted Yuan Shao again: "Sizhou is the gate of Chang'an, and it is also the center of the world, a place of prosperity, and the appearance of an emperor. Although Lu Bu and Niu Fu are defeated, the general thinks that Dong Zhuo will sit here and watch it fall to others hand?"

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly changed.

Kuai Liang's expression became unfriendly: "Dare to ask the general, if our army is entangled with Liu Jian, and the soldiers beat him with their lives, then the vitality will be greatly damaged, and Dong Zhuo suddenly sent an army from Hangu to attack our army's flank! Just ask the general , why stop it?"

"I haven't thought about what's going on now, why are you talking about going to Beijing in the future? Hehe, it's ridiculous."

"You!" Du Xiqi's expression suddenly changed.

This statement hits the nail on the head.

Yuan Shao licked his lips and frowned.

"Hey, the tiger is on the side, what Zirou said is true, or else, withdraw the troops..."

"General! Dong Zhuo is by your side. The general had already expected this matter long before we dispatched troops. Why worry?"

The person who spoke was Yuan Shao's fellow county fellow, Chen Yi from Runan Pingyu.

Chen Yi's talent is mediocre, but his reputation is very high. In other words, his "birth reputation" is very high, and his family background is very prestigious among scholars.

Although Yuan Shao doesn't use his talents, he must use his name to attract the help of major families.

Just because Chen Yi's father was Chen Fan, one of the three famous emperors of the Han Dynasty!

Li Yuanli, a model in the world, is not afraid to defend Chen Zhongju!
Even after so many years, Chen Fan is still the spiritual idol in the hearts of Qingliu figures in the Han Dynasty and the gentry groups!

Yuan Shao's title of "Model of the World" is nothing compared to Chen Fan.

Therefore, no matter how ordinary Chen Yi's ability is, Yuan Shao must treat Chen Yi as a master and serve him under his command.

"What's Zhuo Ya's insight? Is it against Dong Zhuo's disturbance?"

Chen Yi blinked, but said nothing.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it.

It's okay to sing high-profile, let him really think of a way to deal with Dong Zhuo, he still can't do it.

And Xun Chen, the talented Xun family who was the first to follow Yuan Shao, stepped forward.

"If you want to deal with Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian at the same time, it's nothing more than a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's profit."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up: "Youruo's words are very true!"

Liu Xian from Lingling said with a sneer, "Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo are extraordinary people, it's not easy!"

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly darkened again.

Xun Chen said: "As long as the plan is right, it may not be impossible..."

Liu Xian refused to accept: "Dare to ask You Ruo, how to plan it?"

"All right!"

Yuan Shao finally spoke out and stopped everyone from discussing.

He felt like his head was going to explode right now.

"Everything that you say...all make sense!"

"Let Yuan think about this matter carefully!"
