The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 265 Signs of Rebellion
"Guan Ren...?" Yuan Shang frowned slightly, trying hard to search for such a person in his memory.However, his historical knowledge is limited. Apart from the major events and most of the well-known figures, he really doesn't remember very clearly the events of the Three Kingdoms period.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Yuan Shang didn't have any ideas, and then turned around and asked, "What do you do?"

Guan Ren was grinning and rubbing the scar on his face. Hearing this, he was shocked, his waist straightened slowly, and he said in a magical way: "You are really ignorant, even Pingyuan Guan Ren Have you ever heard of such a famous name? Think I’m in charge of it. Stargazing, celestial appearance, Prime Minister, watching fate, touching bones, and pinching calculations became famous in the world. How many Confucian masters, high-ranking officials and daughters of high-ranking officials want a certain calculation, but you can’t do it. Know my name? It's so funny!"

Hearing Guan Ren's words, Zuo Ci's wretched and nervous face flashed across Yuan Shang's eyes.

after a long time
"Ah, so you are a magic stick!" Yuan Shang summed up Guan Ren's words calmly.

When Guan Ren heard this, he was so angry that his forehead smoked.

"If you really don't believe it, I told you that Gongsun Du surrendered to you, it must be a conspiracy. He handed over the military power to you, and sooner or later there must be a way to claim the military power back, and the biggest possibility is him. Secretly instigating the barbarians in the Eastern Yi land to rebel, with the power and contacts he has worked hard to manage in Liaodong for many years, it is not difficult to accomplish this!"

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, his brows were deeply frowned, and then he patted the table lightly.

After a long time, Guan Ren continued: "Well, if you don't believe it, you might as well wait and see. After a period of time, if there is no rebellion among the Dongyi ethnic groups, it proves that Gongsun Du did not secretly instigate and intend to rebel. If Yes, hehe, please ask Mr. Yuan to check it out."

Yuan Shang was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to Guan Ren: "You are just a fortune teller, why do you take the initiative to help me solve this problem?"

Guan Ren laughed, looked up to the sky and said: "The sky shows that you are the face of a foreign star in this land of Middle-earth! About five years ago, the sky was still hazy, and the three stars merged, shining respectively on Xudu, East and West. The three places of Wu and Western Shu prove that the momentum of these three places is very strong. It is not expected that on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, the dark stars in Hebei suddenly brighten, and there is a tendency of purple energy coming from the east. I have observed the appearance of the sky for many years, and I know that the Yuan family in Hebei is not exhausted, so I come to help you."

Yuan Shang frowned, and interrupted: "Tell the truth!"

"Ah..." Guan Ren was at a loss for words when he heard the words, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "Actually, I hope that Yuan Gong can give me some money for the sake of my merits in offering advice. It’s not easy to look at.”

Yuan Shang frowned, and said strangely: "Didn't you just say that you care about the stars, the sky, the prime minister, fate, touch the bones, and pinch calculations to become famous in the world. How many Confucian masters, high-ranking officials and sons of thousands of dollars want a certain calculation but can't , why is there still a shortage of money!"

"That was before!" Guan Ren slapped his thigh fiercely, and said angrily, "In this world, where wars are in chaos, and there is no food to eat, who would ask someone to tell fortunes? Troubled times deceive people, especially us stargazers! of!"

Yuan Shang: "."

***************
A few days later, the meeting hall of the Taishou Mansion in Changli City.

Yuan Shang, Liaodong Gongsundu and others have handed over various materials and procedures for military, government and agricultural affairs in the prefect's mansion for several days, and assigned them according to their responsibilities.

During this period, the old man Gongsun Du never said a word. He obeyed Yuan Shang's assignments. He was very obedient and humble, with a certain amount of advance and retreat. Gradually, most of Yuan Jun's generals relaxed their vigilance towards this old man. , Faintly, even many generals began to feel sorry for this poor old man who lost his territory and had a son.

Logically speaking, since Gongsun Du has achieved this level, Yuan Shang should have completely relaxed his vigilance towards him, but he can't and can't do this. Guan Ren's words a few days ago have been faintly entangled in his heart!It made Yuan Shang unable to stop, even if he wanted to forget it.

However, just today, everything that seemed peaceful finally began to change.

Yuan Shang and the others were discussing the matter of grain and fodder in the county, when they suddenly heard the sound of crisp footsteps outside, and saw a deputy general of Yuan Jun rushing into the main hall, bowing his hands to the people discussing matters in the hall, hastily He said: "My lord, something is wrong. The scouts from the east reported back. All the twelve tribes of Dongyi rebelled and robbed the valleys around Lelang. The surrounding troops are not enough to protect the surrounding area. The whole line is already defeated. I hope the lord will send troops to reinforce it quickly." !"

After finishing the conversation, everyone in the hall was immediately surprised. They looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.

However, in recent days, Yuan Shang, who has been full of worries, suddenly became enlightened. He took a deep look at Gongsun Du who was sitting there with his head bowed and silent. It slowly floated on his cheek.

"Old General Gongsun, what do you think about the collective betrayal of the twelve Dongyi clans?" Yuan Shang asked Gongsun Du with a smile.

Gongsun Du still had a calm expression on his face. After hearing the words and thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "In the land of Liaodong, there has been no war for many years, and all the barbarians are obedient. Such a collective rebellion, the old man sits in Dongyi It’s been many years, but it’s the first time I’ve seen…”

On Yuan Shang's right, General Youzhou Zhao Zhao heard the words: "The land of Liaodong has been guarded by the old general Gongsun for many years. He attacked the barbarians in the east and connected with the imperial court in the south. The maintenance of the two has indeed played a very important role in reconciliation. Now we The army invaded Liaodong, causing the old general Gongsun to lose his position, which made the ambitions of the Dongyi tribes suddenly rise, but it is also reasonable."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "That's the truth, but how should we solve this matter now?"

Another Youzhou general, Wang Men, got up and said: "If you want to serve the Dongyi tribes, in terms of reputation and means, you still need the old general Gongsun to go out. In the meaning of the last general, you might as well let the old general Gongsun lead the army and send troops to go. Deterrence, it should be resolved quickly."

Yuan Shang nodded, turned around and asked Gongsun Duyan, "Old General Gongsun, what do you think?"

Gongsun Du gently stroked the beard on his chin, shook his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, the old man is old and frail, physically and mentally exhausted, and he is no longer able to bear the heavy responsibility. For leading the army, please choose someone else."

Yuan Shang laughed loudly when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "Old General Gongsun is too polite. Although you are a little older, you still have the courage of incorruptibility, the hero of Ma Yuan, why should you be humble? The matter of Dongyi, we are all concerned. I am not familiar with you, only you can take on this important task, and I hope that the old general will not let us down, and Yuan Mou is very grateful to take this important task."

Gongsun Du was in a hurry and pretended to be modest when he heard the words, but Yuan Shang was determined not to comply. It was like kicking a football. After three trips, Fang saw that the old man Gongsun reluctantly agreed, but made another request.

"If my lord insists on appointing the old man, that's okay, but after all, the old man is a new general. Leading an army alone will easily cause misunderstanding and suspicion by others. Please also ask the lord to be the general and supervise the army, and go to the conquest together. The mouth of the world is long, I don't know what the lord will do?"

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded their heads, secretly thinking that Gongsun Du really looks like an elder, he really has a good bearing.

Among the crowd, only Yuan Shang understood what Gongsun Du was up to. He sneered in his heart, but his face was like a spring breeze. He nodded with a smile and said: "Since the old general has a heart, how can Yuan refuse to follow? I just promise you!"

**************************
That night, in the study of Gongsun Du's prefect's mansion.

Gongsundu was dressed in casual clothes, leaning on the bed, staring into the distance with drunken eyes, lost in thought.

When I was young, I saw a Liaodong military general in armor walking into the hall, bowed to Gongsun Du from a distance, and said: "My lord..."

Gongsundu slowly opened his eyes, looked the general up and down, and said with a smile, "Qiu Lang, you're here, how are you...have you contacted our confidantes of the Liaodong Army recently? "

"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been contacted. They all expressed their loyalty to the old lord, and they are waiting for the old general to serve the old general again after he regains control of the military."

"Very good, very good!" Gongsundu nodded with a smile, and said, "You did a good job with Dongyi's affairs, and you also did a good job in contacting the old department this time. After Yuan Shang, it will definitely be reused by you!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Qiu Lang saluted Gongsun Du respectfully, and then said, "However, there is something I don't understand, and I hope the old general can give me some advice... Let's take this opportunity to regain the military power, Why do you still want Yuan Shang to be the supervisor? Wouldn't that be binding your own hands and feet?"

Gongsun Du shook his head and sighed, "Qiu Lang, do you know about the battle between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu in Wancheng? Back then, Cao Cao won Zhang Xiu's surrender, so complacent, he was the commander of the middle army, and he was the commander of the central army. Wei Wei protects, although he has the ability to contain Zhang Xiu, but he is trapped in the whole body, the old man asked him to be the supervisor this time, nothing more than to trap him in the old man's control, and then..."

Speaking of this, I saw Gongsun Du raised his left hand, and made a chopping gesture downward...
