The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 150
Sima Yi and Zhao Yun were ordered to go to the official road in Qingzhou to pretend to be Yuan Tan's deployment, hijack the accountability team, intending to completely ruin Yuan Tan's reputation, and by the way, teach Guo Tu a lesson, destroy the friendship between the two, and completely cut off Yuan Tan's relationship with Yuan Tan. All contacts in Jizhou.

Things went smoothly, almost perfectly.

The letter of responsibility was torn up, Guo Tu was abolished, Yuan Tan was stink, and San Diao was abolished with a cheap move. The harvest is great and deserves praise.

After the four people made contributions, regardless of Guo Tu's life or death, they followed Xiong Jiu and led his troops back to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shang, but they intercepted a big bad news on the way.

Cao Cao, Sikong of the great Han Dynasty, after the class teacher returned to Xudu, actually played the role of the emperor, canonized Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan as the general of chariots, led Jizhou shepherd, and gave him the power to command the military and government of the four states in Hebei.

As for Yuan Shang, the heir who was personally appointed by Yuan Shao to succeed him at the end of his life, there was not a single word mentioned in the edict, not even a miscellaneous general or an official position of a parallel importer was ever sealed.

Now Yuan Tan is the glory of his ancestors.

The naked plan of two tigers competing for food!Intuit vicious!Cao Cao has made up his mind to play the Yuan family to death!
After getting the news, Sima Yi was the first to react.

Don't look at this kid who is a bit of a scumbag on weekdays, but he has enough brains at critical moments. He can smell any conspiracy and tricks immediately, no matter how far away.

Therefore, the four of them did not dare to delay, and hurried to Yecheng to report the news to Yuan Shang before the imperial envoys went to Hebei to issue the edict for preparation.

The night was already deep at this time, and it was supposed to be the time when people were falling asleep and horses had to rest, but the oil lamps were still brightly lit in the council hall of the Yuan Mansion in Ye City, and the fire was lit. Eyes, a faint sadness filled the handsome face.

The four seats at the bottom knelt down, and Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, Deng Chang, and Pang Ji sat down one by one, all with complexion and not very good-looking.

after a long time
Yuan Shang patted the table lightly, opened his eyes, his eyes were full of icy coldness, and said slowly: "Cao Cao's plan is very shameless. The relationship between us made us into a fire and water, and in the name of the imperial court, Yuan Tan was righted! I became a usurper, and many previous designs and actions to tarnish Yuan Tan's reputation are now all in vain because of this imperial edict. Cao Cao is such a bitch!"

The four of them couldn't help but smile when they heard the words, the world is so big that Yuan Shang can call someone a slut.
How cheap that must be!Cao Cao had to reflect deeply this time.

Pang Ji stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "This is Cao Cao's advantage of coercing the emperor to make the princes. For many years, the princes of the world, including the old master, have been restrained by Cao Cao and unable to stretch their hands and feet. ! This is also the biggest reason why the land of Zhongzhou is full of talented people and capable people come forth in large numbers."

Deng Chang sighed, and said: "The world is so big, but whoever is proud and talented, who would not want to seek the name of orthodoxy? It's not surprising."

Yuan Shang's complexion was a little gloomy when he heard this, yes, no matter what era it is in, being famous as a teacher, kingship orthodoxy is the highest political means, and it is the strongest strategy to win people's hearts and minds.

No matter how big the territory of the Ren Yuan family is, no matter how wide the army is, on the surface, they still have to submit to Cao Cao. If the edict is issued, no matter how unwilling they are, they will have to hold their breath and bow their heads. Even if they are deceived by others, they will have to suffer. Swallow into the stomach.

The feeling of submissiveness is really uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help feeling more hostile in his chest, raised his head angrily, and said to himself: "Cao Cao, let you be rampant for a while now! One day, I will definitely take the Son of Heaven from you Come here! When the time comes, the one who embraces the emperor and bears the feudal lords will be me, Yuan Shang! I will definitely do what I say!"

The four of them couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say.

Embrace the Son of Heaven, Bear the Princes.
My lord, my heart is higher than the sky!Talented!
After Yuan Shangdao finished his wish, he bowed his head and said, "It's not my style to sit and wait for death. Cao Cao has lied to me, so I have to fight back. Didn't he seal Yuan Tan as Jizhou shepherd? Very good! Tell Chen Lin tomorrow, and Yuan will be held accountable immediately." The proclamation of Tan Bu’s funeral for his father was widely spread all over the world, and he was also accused of hijacking, questioning and beating the envoy, so that the people of the world can see what kind of thing this Jizhou shepherd newly appointed by the imperial court is!"

Pang Ji and Deng Chang's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

Deng Chang hurriedly said: "That's right, but we still have Yuan Tan's handle, and we will spread these things to the world, so as to embarrass Cao Cao and Yuan Tan."

Pang Ji nodded, and continued: "We will also send out our army's spies to spread rumors about his disloyalty and filial piety, and use the mouth of the world to completely ruin his reputation. This Jizhou Mu sitting on his face!"

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly turned his head to Sima Yi subconsciously, but saw that his face was as deep as water, as if he was thinking.

"Zhongda, do you think this is feasible?"

Sima Yi thought for a long time, then slowly raised his head, and said in a gloomy voice: "This is the only strategy, but it may not work. I have two supplementary methods. If I go with this strategy, I will use all three strategies together. But it’s hard to get rid of this in an instant, I’m afraid the lord is too thin-skinned, so I don’t agree.”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard the words, and said: "There are four of you with thick skins, it doesn't matter if I am thin-skinned, let's hear it."

The corner of Sima Yi's mouth curled up a smile and said, "The second strategy I offer is to send envoys to Xudu to negotiate with Cao Jun immediately after the accountability statement is released!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

"Negotiation? What are you talking about?" Deng Chang spoke quickly, asking everyone what was on their minds first.

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "In the battle of Cangting, the Cao Zhen who was captured alive by Zhang Yan is still in the hands of our army. It is said that he is Cao Cao's adopted son and has a special status. I might as well use him as a hostage to speak to Cao Cao." On condition, let Cao Cao withdraw Yuan Tan's Jizhou pastoral status and make him the lord."

Hearing the words, Pang Ji sighed, shook his head and said, "Zhongda's words are naive. What kind of person is Cao A hiding? He is treacherous and treacherous, and he has the world in mind. How can he be coerced by a mere adopted son? I'm afraid it's useless to talk about it."

Sima Yi looked calm, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as the third strategy can go smoothly, it will be useless to talk about it."

When Yuan Shang heard the words, a flash of clarity flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly said, "The third strategy, what is it?"

Sima Yi smiled strangely, and said: "Send troops quickly, before Yuan Tan and Cao Cao can react, Qingzhou will be settled in one battle!"

"what?!"

Sima Yi straightened his front face, and continued: "The first strategy is that our army spreads its propaganda in the world, uses the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety to incite the leisurely mouths of the world's scholars, and resists the imperial edict. In Cao Cao's view, this is his The omen that the plan has come true! The second strategy, our army sent people to Xudu to negotiate with Cao Zhen as a hostage. Cao Cao saw that this was a sign that the lord panicked and was forced to send people to show favor with him. Cao Cao will definitely use this Opportunity is to squeeze our army fiercely, or just ignore it and play with each other. At this time, the enemy army thinks that our army is the most difficult, and it is also the time when they are most proud! If we attack Qingzhou and destroy Yuan Tan when Cao Cao can't figure out our army's intentions, then the big event will be settled at the fingertips, and the disaster will be solved by itself."

"No!"

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, he saw Pang Ji hastily waved his hand and obstructed him, saying, "Although Yuan Tan has rebellious intentions, he hasn't put it into practice after all. My lord has just taken a big position, so he attacked and killed his elder brother before he took any action." , the news will be spread out, and Yuan's face will be disgraced."

Deng Chang heard the words and said: "However, in Qingzhou back then, the lord was murdered by the eldest son many times. It is reasonable for him to send troops to attack him instead of going to funeral for the old lord. Why wait until he rebels?"

Pang Ji shook his head and said: "Although he doesn't go to the funeral, he is not guilty of raising troops! There is no real evidence for murdering the lord, and he will be ridiculed by the people of the world if he rashly goes to war!"

Speaking of this, everyone got stuck again, and then turned their heads to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang's face was calm, and he was silent for a while, before he suddenly said: "It's not going to stop, but I'm going to be disturbed by it. I'm sending troops to take Qingzhou now, and I'm not prepared to cover it up! Yuan Tan is not prepared, and he will definitely exchange the smallest casualties. The biggest benefit is to wait until Yuan Tan is fully prepared and let him start the rebellion first. In name, I can stand firm, but what about the loss? How much vitality will be lost in Hebei if I want to destroy him? Besides, there is another Cao Cao is staring at the south, and the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit. Yuan Tanruo and I are really evenly matched, and we are stuck in a stalemate. In the end, Cao Cao has to deal with it? So, I vote, and I will deal with him in one battle!"

Hearing this, Pang Ji hurriedly said, "But the lord's reputation and face."

"I've never had such a thing as skin, and I don't want it, it's too empty! I just want Hebei to preserve my vitality!"

When everyone heard this, they sighed deeply.

My lord, it is so true.

When the words fell, Sima Yi was the first to go out of the class, cupped his hands and said: "My lord's move is not restrained by ordinary festivals, it is very wise, Yi is not talented, and I am willing to go to Xudu to negotiate with Cao Jun."

Yuan Shang nodded, and said: "Okay, Zhongda, it's up to you, show your usual mental retardation, and show Cao Cao a good show! I want this old bastard to react before he reacts." Just clean up Yuan Tan, so that he has no chance to divide our forces in Hebei."

"promise!"

****************
After the plan was decided, on the second day, Yuan Shang asked Chen Lin to write the pen, and promptly announced all kinds of stains on Yuan Tan to the world in the form of a prose.

It was at this time that the envoys of the imperial court had also arrived in Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan was officially appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou. For a while, the second son of the Yuan family became the talk of the world.

Some people said that Yuan Tan was ignorant and devoid of humanity, so it was right for Yuan Shao to pass the throne to Yuan Shangzhen.

Some said that no matter what kind of person Yuan Tan was, he was conferred by the imperial court after all, and had an orthodox status, so he should inherit the family business.

Some said that the two brothers were bastards and should be killed with one blow.

All of a sudden, the various families in Hebei were divided into several factions because of the fate of the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

One faction takes the Confucianism of "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" as the principle of morality, and supports the loyal Yuan Shang and opposes the unrighteous Yuan Tan.

On the other hand, it is headed by the aristocratic family group loyal to the Liu family of the Han family, and supports the unfilial man Yuan Tan who was officially conferred by the court. The so-called loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. What the hell?Even if the emperor of the Han family made him his father, he had to do it!

There is also a family that is purely shit-stirring, and neither supports Yuan Tan nor Yuan Shang. They mean to let these two people go!Ling Rang Xianneng is the lord of Hebei, and the two brothers in the province are annoying to eat dogs here.

All of a sudden, there were turmoil in all parts of Hebei. Yuan Shang's Shang Si, Yuan Tan's Tan Fan, and the cynical youth who disrupted the situation, the three factions of star chasers repeatedly fought each other in restaurants, tea shops, and markets in various places in Hebei, and violent and bloody incidents emerged one after another.

Today Shangsi flattened Tan Fan, and tomorrow Tan Fan was placed on Shangsi again, during which there were angry youths fighting against each other, causing unrest in various places, and the county magistrates, county lieutenants, and county magistrates of the four states Just suppressing this group of star-chasers and black-star clans every day consumes almost all of their energy, and it is really miserable.

When the news reached the ears of Cao Cao in Xudu, the overlord couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and praised Jia Xu, an old fox, for his ingenuity and vicious strategy. He made a plan to turn Hebei into a pot of rotten porridge, which made people happy!
What surprised Cao Cao even more was that not long after the incident, an envoy was sent from Yecheng, Jizhou, with rare treasures and special products from the Northland, to pay homage to Emperor Liu Xie.

But the discerning people in Xudu knew in their hearts that worshiping the emperor was just a cover to deceive the world. It was true that Yuan Tan won the shepherd position of Jizhou and Yuan Shang fought against each other, which made Yuan Shang worried and came to make peace.

The person sent here was not very well-known, and his name was Sima Yi.

However, although he himself is not well-known, his father Sima Lang has been kind to Cao Cao, and this has given the relationship between the two parties a little room for relaxation.

After Sima Yi arrived in Xudu, after paying tribute to the emperor on behalf of Yuan Shang, he immediately begged to see Cao Cao with a lot of gifts. However, Cao Cao had ulterior motives and wanted to let Yuan Shang hang out, so he kept asking him because he was busy with business and refused to meet him.

The more Cao Cao didn't see Sima Yi, the more time he could buy for the Hebei side. Sima Yi was actually very happy in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be impatient, visiting Sikong's mansion at least three times a day, and even Running around, I went to Cao Cao's confidantes: Xun Yu, Xun Lingjun, Guo Jia, Guo Jijiu, etc. to send gifts and inquire about them. I hope they can help to say a few good words, and I ask Cao Sikong to meet and meet.

The meeting has been dragging on like this.

Not to mention that Sima Yi acted for Cao Cao in Xudu, but only in Hebei. However, they secretly assembled elite soldiers and horses on the border of Jizhou, ready to go, intending to lead directly to the hinterland of Qingzhou with lightning speed, capture Linzi City and Nanpi, and win or lose Hebei in the first battle!

Instead of waiting for Yuan Tan to make trouble and fight him, it is better to seize the opportunity first, and not give Cao Cao and Yuan Tan a chance to react, and reverse the passive situation in one fell swoop.

After all, Hebei is now in the stage of recuperation, and the vitality cannot be hurt.
