Lu Dynasty

Chapter 654 The Wise Yuan Shao

When Han Meng knelt like this, Yuan Shaojun's generals all knelt down, and they shouted in unison: "I hope the lord will spare General Yan!" Yuan Shao really wanted to agree to the request of the generals, but the scribes hadn't made a statement yet. His steps weren't enough.

Guo Tu didn't know if his skull was burnt out, but he still didn't see that Yuan Shao didn't want to deal with Yan Liang. He pointed at the generals kneeling on the ground and cursed: "You really don't know what to do. Yan Liang beat the lord, shouldn't he be punished? Are you threatening the lord by doing this?" Before Guo Tu finished speaking, all the generals glared at him.You must know that although Yan Liang is a bit reckless and violent, his popularity among Yuan Shaojun is still good.An irritable military commander is often a person with deep loyalty.Even if this kind of person offends others, it is at most because his temperament is too straightforward. Those who are offended by this kind of person are often villains!
Guo Tu is stupid, but Feng Ji and the judge are not dumb.When they saw the generals kneeling down to beg for mercy, Yuan Shao did not forgive Yan Liang, and immediately understood that the steps were not high enough, so Shenpei and Fengji knelt down together and said, "My lord, the enemy army is not destroyed, so punish the general first." It's not good, please forgive General Yan, my lord!" In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Yuan Shao didn't want to punish Yan Liang, otherwise Yuan Shao would just have Yan Liang pulled down and chopped up, and the matter would be over, so why bother.With two advisers leading the way, all the civil servants under Yuan Shao's command also knelt down.Now, in the entire big tent, only Guo Tu was still standing.

Yuan Shao glared at Guo Tu fiercely, Guo Tu understood Yuan Shao's thoughts now, he quickly joined the crowd and pleaded for Yan Liang together.Seeing that the steps were high enough, Yuan Shao pretended to be helpless and waved his hands: "Yan Liang, since everyone is begging for you, you should first remember the crimes you commit next, and punish them with multiple crimes if you commit crimes later. ?” How could Yan Liang not understand that he escaped with his life?The happy Yan Liang kowtowed to Yuan Shao several times, and thanked his colleagues who were full of bills for pleading for him.Just when Yan Liang was about to stand back to his position, Yuan Shao suddenly shouted: "Yan Liang! Our army has clear rewards and punishments. If the generals don't plead for you, I will definitely kill you! It was a punishment just now, but you still have a great contribution to make." Yesterday, our army fought with Lu Feng’s army, Yan Liang’s savior has made meritorious service, and the officials and ranks will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be one hundred taels, and the crimes committed by him will be offset!” When Yuan Shao pardoned Yan Liang just now, everyone was happy for him, but those The general was a little apprehensive.Yan Liang was punished for the sake of the savior, if this happened again in the future, who would dare to save Yuan Shao casually?But Yuan Shao's second order made all the generals jealous!In ancient times, it was easy to promote an official position, but it was difficult to raise a title, otherwise there would be no such thing as Feng Tang Yi Lao and Li Guang being difficult to seal!Even Yan Liang was stunned. He didn't expect that Yuan Shao, who is usually so face-saving, not only didn't punish him for his behavior of lowering his face, but even rewarded him!Yan Liang was very excited, and Han Meng, who was guarding Yuan Shao with Yan Liang, was also excited.The generals in the entire tent were all motivated, and Yuan Shaojun had never been so united!

Yuan Shao didn't expect that his casual words would make the whole tent boil.He just saw that Han Meng and the others seemed to have sympathy, and on a whim, he praised Yan Liang for his act of savior!Coincidentally, this unintentional move of his just fits the way of the sentence of hitting a big stick and giving a sweet date.Looking at the excited generals, Yuan Shao waved his hands and said, "Everyone, work hard to deal with Lu Feng's army. Don't let me be rescued every time. If I can enter Luoyang, I will definitely not be stingy with officials!" Among the wise men, after hearing Yuan Shao's words, they all agreed without hesitation. Only Guo Tu stood at the corner of the big tent and watched the jubilation in the big tent, which was a bit out of place.

Guo Tu looked at the proud Yuan Shao and suddenly felt resentful. He followed Yuan Shao very early, but Yuan Shao never treated him as well as others.First, Yuan Shao's old friend Xu You was always on top of him, but now even Shenpei and Fengji seem to be superior to him. If he didn't have a family in Yecheng, Guo Tu would have left Yuan Shao Thoughts!Yuan Shao was also a little complacent, he patronized Yan Liang and other generals, but he didn't see that there was something wrong with Guo Tu's expression, so Yuan Shao let everyone return to their positions, and began to deal with important military and political affairs again.In fact, Yuan Shao is quite tired. Unlike me, he has a lot of talents. He can't feel at ease with his subordinates, because his subordinates are all descendants of aristocratic families, and these people are very good at seizing power.In order not to let the power fall aside, although Yuan Shao didn't bother with more than [-] rewards and punishments like Zhuge Liang, he would always care about relatively large affairs in military and political affairs.Moreover, Yuan Shao was still very worried about his sons. His three sons were not easy-going lamps. If they were not related by blood, Yuan Shao would not delegate power to them.

Looking at it, Yuan Shao discovered a big problem.There seems to be a loophole in Yecheng's defense and food handling.These things were originally handled by Guo Tu, and after Guo Tu left, they were handed over to his third son Yuan Shang.Now that there is a problem, Guo Tu is naturally responsible, so Yuan Shao handed the dossier to Guo Tu.Guo Tu didn't know what Yuan Shao wanted to do, but when he saw the contents of the dossier, he understood the cause and effect.Before Guo Tu left, he clearly explained everything to Yuan Shang, but he didn't understand why Yuan Shang didn't do it!In fact, Guo Tu can't blame Yuan Shang, as Yuan Shao's most beloved youngest son, he naturally has to behave better than his two elder brothers!How can we perform outstandingly?Then you can only work hard on handling important military and political affairs!If he followed Guo Tu's instructions, Yuan Shang's abilities would naturally not be reflected, so Yuan Shang boldly changed Guo Tu's strategy.With this change, something went wrong!Guo Tu held the dossier and smiled bitterly at Yuan Shao: "Master, I have clearly explained to the third son, and I don't know why he didn't do what I said!"

"Bold Guo Tu! It's obvious that you don't care about what you do, but now you're putting the blame on the third son. What's your intention?" Yuan Shao loves Yuan Shang the most, and he still wants Yuan Shang to inherit his position. How could it be possible for Yuan Shang to make mistakes.

"My lord!" Guo Tu was stunned. He wanted to justify a few words at first, but he knew from Yuan Shao's expression that Yuan Shao wanted him to bear this omission.Bear it, a hard meal is inevitable, it is impossible not to bear it, if Yuan Shao insists on him admitting this omission, he firmly refuses to admit it, what awaits him may be death.Guo Tu smiled helplessly: "This subordinate did not explain clearly to the third son. This is all the fault of this subordinate. Please punish me, Lord!"
