I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 617 Liu Yan is Dead
To be honest, Xu You is not satisfied with Kuai Yue now, very dissatisfied.

Now the other party scolded himself as a black-hearted person in front of Yuan Shao and everyone.

Xu You wished he could eat Kuai Yue's meat raw.

It is relatively rare among the major forces for staff members to turn their hatred into superficial emotions in order to compete for each other's interests, but it is most obvious in Yuan Shao's case.

At that moment, Xu You was not willing to be outdone and said angrily to Kuai Yue: "For the great cause of Mr. Yuan, I am dedicated to public service. This matter in Guanzhong is related to the Yuan family's hegemony, why should I delay it? I see you He has bad intentions and deliberately delays Mr. Yuan from going to Guanzhong to complete his hegemony!"

Kuai Yue also said: "A certain person is upright in his heart and only cares about Yuan Gong's hegemony. He has never had second thoughts. He is not like you. He is just a despicable person with sinister intentions!"

"You are jealous. Relying on your past efforts to persuade Duke Yuan to go south, you have always regarded yourself as the most important minister under Duke Yuan. You are afraid that others will surpass you!"

"As everyone knows, the more you do this, the more you reveal your villainy. For the sake of personal honor and disgrace, you ignore the great cause of Yuan Gong. You will not die a good death, you will be punished by God!"

Although Xu You has always been known for his sharp wit and eloquence, at this moment, facing Kuai Yue's rebuke, he was actually speechless.

It's not that Xu You couldn't argue with Kuai Yue, but that Kuai Yue hit the nail on the head and touched on Xu You's pain points.

No matter how good Xu You's mentality was, his mentality immediately collapsed under Kuai Yue's questioning.

He was shaking with anger, and then suddenly stood up under everyone's attention.

"Mr. Yuan, Kuai Yidu has slandered me so much that I have no shame in continuing to offer advice under his command. Please allow me to take leave and retreat, Mr. Yuan."

After saying that, Xu You bowed his hands to everyone present.

"Colleagues, please allow Xu to withdraw temporarily."

"Ziyuan! Ziyuan?!"

Yuan Shao hurriedly spoke to stop Xu You, but saw Xu You walking decisively out of the hall without hesitation.

After Xu You walked away, Yuan Shao looked at Kuai Yue quite angrily.

"Xidu, let's discuss things and let's discuss things. Everyone expresses his or her own opinion. This doesn't matter. Why should we talk lightly?"

"Xu Ziyuan was my former best friend and my arm. When you say this about him, where do you put my face?"

Kuai Yue seemed quite unconvinced when he heard Yuan Shao blaming him.

"Mr. Yuan, don't be fooled by Xu You's tricks. He is just making excuses and unable to refute. He is pretending to be like this..."

"enough."

Yuan Shao suddenly slammed the table and said angrily to Kuai Yue, "Everyone has already left, but you are still here making bad remarks and seriously hurting me."

"In this way, how can he have the virtues of a wise man and set an example for the wise men of Jingchu?"

When Yuan Shao said this, he seemed quite angry.

"Today's defeat, there is no need to discuss everything further. You all go back. Yuan will consider matters in Guanzhong by himself."

Yuan Shao has said this, what can others say?

So everyone stood up and paid their respects to Yuan Shao.

Kuai Yue seemed to want to continue to say something, but Yuan Shao waved his hand to him impatiently, preventing him from continuing.

When Kuai Yue saw this, he felt aggrieved.

At the same time, the hatred for Xu You in his heart became even deeper.

Kuai Yue secretly thought that if Xu You is not eliminated, he will definitely be a big trouble for Jingzhou in the future!

This person is really too selfish, too greedy, and has no regard for the overall situation.

But he was also an important minister of Yuan Shao's establishment in Jingzhou.

Quiney's guess was indeed correct.

What Xu You did today was just playing hard to get.

After everyone dispersed, Yuan Shao immediately went to see Xu You in person.

Obviously, Xu You still held a very important position in Yuan Shao's heart. Seeing that Xu You had been wronged, Yuan Shao immediately went to his mansion to comfort him.

Xu You was not polite. He analyzed Kuai Yue and the counselors of various tribes in Nanjun in front of Yuan Shao and said that they were useless.

Finally, Xu You tried his best to advise Yuan Shao, asking him to quickly send troops to Guanzhong and enter Chang'an before Liu Jian could take a step forward, so that the situation in the world could be calmed down.

In fact, Yuan Shao had already made up his mind. According to Kuai Yue, he planned his decision and then acted. But now he couldn't resist Xu You brainwashing him.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's heart started to feel a little lively again.

Xu You means that everything must be done first. Once Liu Jian enters Chang'an with his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty and his status as an assistant minister appointed by Liu Hong before his death, then Yuan Shao will want to enter Chang'an to preside over the government. , this reason is not sufficient.At that time, the Yuan Group will be passive.

Moreover, Liu Jian's strength is indeed getting stronger and his reputation is getting higher and higher. If you sit back and watch Liu Jian settle in Guanzhong without taking action, in the end, the Yuan Group will be swept away and annexed by Hebei sooner or later.

After hearing what Xu You said, Yuan Shao felt that it was reasonable, so after he parted with Xu You, he went back to think about the matter by himself.

Yuan Shao is really worried.

He tossed and turned over this trivial matter and couldn't sleep at night.

After several days in a row, Yuan Shao's eyes had dark circles and he was depressed because he couldn't sleep well.

It was at this moment that he was wavering between left and right, a piece of good news came from the west that made Yuan Shao feel refreshed.

At the same time, it also strengthened his determination!

Liu Yan is dead!

Over the years, Liu Yan and Yuan Yi have been fighting for power in Yizhou. Liu Yan relied on Dongzhou scholars, while Yuan Yi relied more on the local elites and noble families in Yizhou.

The battle between the two sides has never stopped. Since both Liu Yan and Yuan Yi are relatively conservative, and the local prominent families in Sichuan and Sichuan have always shown an attitude of taking advantage of the wind, and Yizhou is a borderland, the interests are more entangled. For many years, the two sides have been fighting without a winner. This has also resulted in Yizhou being unable to spare any effort to support the Yuan Group's struggle for hegemony in Dongzhou.

But now Liu Yan is dead, and Liu Yan's sons are useless in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Moreover, people in Shu are also people who watch the wind and control the situation. Liu Yan's death means that the number of people who support Liu's family in Shu is greatly reduced.

Most of the political forces that originally favored Liu Yan also began to lean toward the Yuan family.

After learning the news, Yuan Shao was very happy. This matter would allow the Yuan family's influence to spread throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he should quickly enter Guanzhong and take the opportunity to expand the Yuan family's influence and gain momentum.

The good situation in Yizhou gave Yuan Shao great confidence.

So on the second day, Yuan Shao summoned everyone to his meeting hall.

He announced in front of everyone that he asked Cai Mao, Huang Zu and others to immediately gather troops and horses in Jingzhou and prepare food and fodder. He would immediately lead his troops to garrison in Guanzhong and go to Chang'an.

In addition, Yuan Shao sent people to Jiangdong to meet Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to send troops to assist him and support his cause of going north.

After Kuai Yue heard the news, he almost fainted. He hurriedly went to see Yuan Shao again and told Yuan Shao the pros and cons of this.

But obviously, Yuan Shao didn't seem to appreciate it.

He was determined to enter Guanzhong first no matter what.

Nanyang County and Runan have a large population, making them the first and second largest counties in the world. Coupled with the support of prominent families in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places, as well as the large number of nobles and common people who have poured into Jingzhou from the north, Yuan Shao believes that he has enough The ability can penetrate into the pass.

But it was at this time that spies from Guanzhong brought Yuan Shao another piece of news that surprised him.

Dong Zhuo's army in Liangzhou seemed to have encountered a huge dilemma.

Dong Zhuo's army was constantly fighting against the Liangzhou rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou. Although Dong Zhuo still had the upper hand, not long ago, Dong Zhuo suddenly fell ill. This serious illness made him unable to even stand up. Unable to get up, I can only lie on the bed on weekdays.

At first, the central army of the imperial court tried their best to conceal the matter, but after all, there is no airtight wall in the world, and soon all the rebels in Xiliang knew about it.

The head coach of the Central Army was seriously ill and could not get up, so problems naturally arose in execution.

None of the generals under Dong Zhuo could fully coordinate the overall situation. All the armies lost their overall command and coordination, so they stood still.

Dong Zhuo's army stood still, the soldiers had no command authority, and the goals of the soldiers of the three armies were unclear. At this time, the Xiliang rebels launched a fierce attack on Dong Zhuo's army.

Lu Bu and Niu Fu commanded the soldiers of the three armies to stabilize the situation, but they were unable to form an effective counterattack.

This is because Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen and others were not convinced by Lu Bu and Niu Fu's command, and the two sides had conflicts over military command.

Since it is not stable internally, there is no way to achieve consistency externally.

The Xiliang rebels took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack and won several great victories in a row.

Dong Zhuo's army's headquarters has been stabilized, and the vast area in eastern Liangzhou has stabilized. All rebels have been expelled to western Liangzhou or northern Liangzhou.

However, after discovering the fighter planes, the rebel leaders in Liangzhou organized counterattacks one after another. As a result, the Central Army was unable to continue to consolidate the basic position it had laid. It could only shrink its strategic space and concentrate on Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County.

The frontline strategy failed, and rebellions in Guanzhong emerged in the rear. This caused the entire Guanzhong and Liangzhou to present a dilemma.

For the imperial court, now is really the most critical moment.

At this time, if Yuan Shao does not send troops to enter Guanzhong, then when should he wait?
In view of this favorable situation, Yuan Shao finally made up his mind to enter Chang'an before everyone else.
