Lord Yuan

Chapter 133 Why is Yuan Shao’s charisma so high?

After receiving strong support from Captain Gongshamu, Yuan Shao began to develop step by step.

As a long history officer, as always, he needs to handle the government affairs of his country for the captain.

Most of the places where foreign tribes gather below will be supervised by Han officials, and any changes will be reported to Changli County by letter, which is the core area of ​​the entire Liaodong vassal state.

The captain seemed to be interested in cultivating Yuan Shao more, so he directly ordered the officials below to send some letters that were not too important to Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao himself is well-versed in everything, but he is not absolutely outstanding in any aspect.

His strength is not even the slightest bit worse than that of Yan Liangwen Chou.

Compared to a madman like Xu You, his resourcefulness is beyond comparison.

In terms of internal affairs, it is far inferior to talents like Xun Chen.

Simply, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation and gave full play to everyone's strengths. All decisions related to civil and internal affairs were handed over to Xun Chen, and Yuan Shao only needed to make the final decision when he was undecided.

Xun Chen was also happy about it. He was actually very leisurely on weekdays. Apart from reading some books from time to time, he was bored. Now that he had something to do, he was quite happy in his heart. Being able to help Yuan Jun meant more to him than just reading. For his own interests, he also carries the hopes of the entire Xun family.

In this frontier place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In fact, the right to appoint and remove officials is basically the captain's decision, as long as he doesn't like anyone, or he doesn't like his style of doing things.

With the power of the captain, the captain can make his own decisions as long as he is not a court official such as Chang Shi and the emperor himself needs to personally sign the appointment document.

As a result, Xun Chen, who was removed from his official position in Luoyang, was immediately recruited into the government by Yuan Shao and became a prime minister.

Since he took office, he has been staying in the captain's mansion. Apart from eating, drinking and having sex, he spent the rest of his time dealing with government affairs.

According to Xun Chen's understanding, these letters were placed in batches and read according to their importance.

As time passed, even Gong Shamu, the captain of the vassal state, discovered Xun Chen's existence.

Seeing his impeccable manner in handling government affairs and his excellent literary talent, the captain suddenly felt that he had discovered a great talent.

So he came to meet Xun Chen in person.

He wanted to recruit him into his inner palace to handle the government affairs of the entire Liaodong and even the frontier fortress. This was not just the foreigners who had attached themselves to the Han Dynasty. Handling the government affairs of the frontier fortress meant that he could participate in the construction of border defense.

Xun Chen actually wanted to make this decision and implement it for Yuan Shao in advance.

But when I think about it carefully, I realize that my current identity is just a counselor in Yuan Shao's shogunate, and I absolutely cannot overstep his authority. Regardless of whether Yuan Shao needs to take this step, all this needs to be decided by Yuan Shao himself.

When Xun Chen proposed that this matter should be decided after asking Yuan Shao in advance, Gong Shamu was a little confused. He didn't understand how, as a captain, he could involve the chief minister Yuan Shao when he came to recruit a prime minister.

Xun Chen returned.

"I came here through Mr. Yuan. No matter what, I must obey Mr. Yuan's order and wait for him to make a decision before agreeing."

Gong Shamu looked shocked. Looking at Xun Chen, who was only about twenty years old, he felt more and more envious of Yuan Shao.

Not only Xun Chen, but also Yan Liang Wen Chou, who had been guarding Yuan Shao, had actually been discovered by him a long time ago.

When the news that Yan Liang, Wen and Chou effortlessly defeated 40 or [-] people with their bare hands reached his ears, he understood what these people with extremely high force values ​​meant to the frontier.

However, when he went to see Chang Shi with full confidence and wanted to propose that the two men be sent to the army and given important tasks, it was just like Xun Chen did.

Yuan Shao didn't say much, but Yan Liang, Wen Chou and the two loyal protectors were the first to speak.

"Brothers Yan will only stay with Yuan Jun, life and death. I hope the captain will not force it."

Gong Shamu was disappointed. He really couldn't understand what kind of magic power this Yuan Shao had that made so many talents gather under his command, even if he gave a reward far higher than his salary level. , all to no avail.

In his spare time, Gong Shamu specially called Yuan Shao, who was not too busy, and wanted to use the strength of wine to explore his voice.

When he was getting drunk, Gongshamu suddenly asked: "I heard from Youruo that Chang Shi once served as an official in Luoyang? Why did he choose to move to this bitter and cold place to serve?" He really couldn't understand. , if it were not for people from the frontier like them, there would be almost no chance to go to Luoyang, the center of the world. Even if it costs a lot of money, he would choose to go to Luoyang instead of staying here to fight the aliens to the end and never see it again. opportunities for promotion.He has been the captain of the Liaodong vassal kingdom for more than ten years. During this period, he has been able to master both major and minor wars. He has even participated in the few major victories. That was when he followed General Du Liao without flinching. They fought bloody battles with aliens outside the Great Wall.

Perhaps because he is getting older, or his temperament has changed, Gongshamu no longer has the courage to move forward as he did when he was young. If Yuan Shao hadn't awakened him with his words, I am afraid that even now he would still choose to stick to his own policy.

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment. He couldn't just think that he had long planned to use this place as his strategic reserve point. No matter what, Liaodong and even the entire Youzhou must be firmly in his hands.

He organized his words and glanced at Gong Shamu, who looked expectant.

"If the official says, in fact, there are military merits everywhere in this frontier area, I wonder if the captain agrees?"

Gong Shamu stared at Yuan Shao in front of him with his eyes: "Why do you say this?"

In fact, he is quite sure about this statement. If you want to establish achievements, the border areas have great advantages. Foreign races often choose to go south to plunder and invade, and soldiers on the border naturally have many opportunities to gain gains. Military merit.

However, compared with those generals and lieutenants dispatched from the mainland, it seems that the sergeants from these border areas are like stepmothers. All the credit has been taken by those who airborne from the mainland, and they fought bloody battles and shed their blood. Those ordinary soldiers actually achieved very little credit.

Just like General Du Liao, who he regarded as a contemporary master of military art, although he himself had great military exploits, his tactics in dealing with foreign races were shining through the ages, leading them to obtain many military exploits again and again.

However, in the final list of merits issued, all the so-called military advisory group captains and generals dispatched from the mainland were separated, leaving only some minor rewards. This was the decision of the General Du Liao. He chose to give up the rewards that belonged to him, and then chose to distribute them to these border soldiers.

And that person was Li Ying, a terrifying existence that once made Xianbei Wuhuan flee.

Gongshamu's admiration for Li Ying has almost reached the sky. Over the years, he has never been far away from Liaodong, and he did not know that Luoyang was undergoing great changes at that time that would change the world.

Yuan Shaohui said this, just like Li Ying, the general who conquered the Liao Dynasty, said that military exploits are everywhere here.

The only difference is that Li Ying is already famous all over the world, and Yuan Shao is just an unknown person. Even if he is appointed as the chief historian, he is still a little person who can be manipulated at will.

"For us, those alien races are just walking military merits."

"If the captain had not implemented the policy of avoiding war and truce, which saved Changli County and even the entire Liaodong vassal country from the flames of war, I am afraid that the foreign heads hanging on the east gate of Changli County would have occupied the entire wall."

Although the foreign cavalry is strong and good at changing places with one shot, these tactics are often quite effective. When facing poorly defended cities or border fortresses, these foreigners often gain very rich harvests.

However, due to the tempering of the Han cavalry over the years, coupled with the continuous supply of war horses from the four major horse breeding areas of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers at the frontier fortress were actually no better than foreigners if they showed their military prowess, even if they faced each other head-on In a collision, the big man rarely loses. The only uncertainty factor may be that he needs to pay attention to the right time and place in time.

No one can be like Huo Qubing. Even if he is lost, he can still rely on his own military ability to march straight into Huanglong and even seal the wolf as Xu.

Beyond the Great Wall, getting lost often means death.

Foreign races who have lived outside the Great Wall for a long time have also suffered greatly.

Gong Shamu's emotions were also ignited by this bold statement, and the fighting spirit in his eyes boiled. He also wanted to see the heads of foreign races hanging on the city gates of Changli County. This move not only showed the power of the Han Dynasty, but also At the same time, it also explains whether he, the captain of the Liaodong vassal state, is competent for his job.

For the Li Shu and Guizhou leaders here, even if they have to pay a price of blood and cause heavy losses to those foreign races, Gong Shamu will still gain support and gain an unparalleled reputation.

Chacha Gongshamu did not choose this path, perhaps because he has always implemented benevolent policies and treated the people well. However, this is a frontier fortress, not the inland counties of Youzhou, so this path is impassable.

Then he cast his gaze on Yuan Shao. He saw a different attitude from this young man. Regarding the fanatical attitude of those aliens, he understood that he was now gradually inferior to these young people, just like Xun Chen , or Yan Liangwen Chou, I am afraid that his behavior has almost become a symbol of weakness in their eyes.

"If all the cavalry of the entire Liaodong vassal state were put under your command, how sure are you that you can win?" Gong Shamu tentatively asked this seemingly premature question. In his opinion, Yuan Shao is quite talented as a general. , also has enough personality charm.

But his age is a flaw after all. Being young means that he has not experienced so many scenes and has not experienced the cruelty on the battlefield.

Were there still few people who talked on paper in ancient times?

He didn't want Yuan Shao to be a person who only knew how to talk.

Yuan Shao laughed.

"Perhaps the captain will know about it soon."
