The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41

Han Chong.Han Chong is very old, with a gray beard and a dark brown mansion, his eyes flicker when he speaks, he seems to be a very observant person.I politely asked him to take a seat, and let Guo Jia sit opposite him.I glanced at Han Chong and said with a smile, "I don't know what advice you can give me when Master Han is here." Han Chong immediately stood up, went to the front and cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, my lord heard that Sun Ce took advantage of the death of General Yuan Shu to raise his troops innocently. I was very angry when I invaded Hefei, and this time I came here to discuss cooperation with the young master, and together we will attack Sun Ce, an unrighteous guy."

"Haha, according to Mr. Han, you are here to help me."

Han Chong was serious and didn't blush; "It's an obligation, and a villain like Sun Ce can be punished by everyone. You don't have to be grateful, it's all a matter of duty." Guo Jia's nose was almost crooked, and he sneered. "How did I hear that Huang Zu attacked Jiangdong and was surrounded by Lu Meng in Chaisang? I don't know if there is such a thing." Han Chonglang said; After Huang Zu's strategy of slowing down the army, these things have been planned by my lord from the beginning to the end."

Guo Jia and I were both dumbfounded; "How—how did you calculate it?" Han Chong's face was full of complacency; "From the very beginning, my lord knew that Huang Zu's army was impossible to win. So far, it is mainly for the use of tactics in the next step." Guo Jia suddenly realized, and said coldly; "Master Han means that Sun Ce's main force is now restrained by Huang Zu, so let us send troops to attack Wu County, right?" Han Chongxi said, "Mr. Guo is really smart, he guesses right." I thought to myself that this Han Chong is really eloquent, but he just described a lowly begging for help as a gift. I really don't admire it.
"Let's be honest, Mr. Han, if I send troops to attack, what kind of benefits can Liu Biao give me, whether it is military food or territory, how about ceding Nanjun to me?"

After hearing what I said, Han Chong was not angry at all, and slowly shook his head and said, "Without that, the benefit our lord gave you is to remain neutral in the battle between Yuan and Cao, and neither help Yuan nor Cao, I think this condition is attractive enough."

"What—" I almost jumped up, Liu Biao, an old fox, wants to eat plain rice, it's really a fucking thing.I was about to get angry, but Guo Jia stopped me with his eyes, then stood up, and said to Han Chong: "My son basically understands what Mr. Han means. Your lord has been exhausted all the way. Please go to the room to rest first. Let's discuss this matter later. I'll give you an answer." Han Chong grinned and hummed arrogantly; "Hurry up, this envoy is very busy and has important things to do, so he can't stay here for long."

What kind of world is this, the beggar has become an uncle, and his tone is full of threats, it's really unbearable for my aunt and uncle.

"What are you discussing? There's nothing to discuss. Find some people to beat me up and throw this Han Chong out. I'm really mad." As soon as Han Chong went out, I jumped up and yelled.Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Sir, calm down, this Han Chong can't be beaten, let alone thrown out." I yelled angrily, "I can't sleep if I don't beat me." Guo Jia said with a mournful face; , you fell asleep tonight, when you can—" I calmed down, wondering; "Is he that powerful? Fengxiao, why are you so afraid of him."

Guo Jiadao; "It's not that I'm afraid of him, but what he said is very reasonable. Liu Biao's move is sinister enough. He asked Han Chong to test it and see which one is more valuable to him, the Yuan family or the Cao family. Did you hear what Han Chong said at the end, he still has something to do, he is very busy, I guess, he will go to see Cao Cao immediately after he leaves our place." I kind of reacted; "You——you mean——" Guo Jia said first, "I mean, Liu Biao's movements are enough to influence the whole situation of the battle. If he is on Cao Cao's side, Cao Cao's chances of winning are better. If he is on our side, our chances of winning are better. If he takes advantage of the fisherman, then—— "I was shocked; "Then the world belongs to Liu Biao." Guo Jia said, "You don't have to worry about this, it seems that Liu Biao doesn't have such big ambitions. He just wants to remain neutral. What Han Chong said just now is a threat. It means that if we don't send troops to Jiangdong, Liu Biao will surrender to Cao Cao and deal with Yuan Jun. We need to weigh it ourselves. My son, he is not here to ask for help, but to demonstrate."

I finally figured it out, it turned out that the old boy Liu Biao was blackmailing me, okay, Liu Biao, follow me, you can do it, just wait for me.But what should I do now, I am really at a loss what to do, send troops, you may not be able to win, not to mention that the army rations will be wasted, and you will offend the strong neighbors, if you don't send troops, Liu Biao will surrender to Cao Cao.How about this.

Of course Guo Jia saw my thoughts, came over and said in a low voice, "My lord, why did you forget that we still have a trump card in our hand? It's very easy. As long as someone sends a letter to Sun Ce asking him to put Huang Zu back, the two families will make peace." It's fine if you don't."

"Sun Quan, okay, let's do this. You go tell Han Chong that I don't want to see him. Just say this is our bottom line. If he doesn't want to, go back and vote for Cao Cao. If Liu Biao surrenders to Cao Cao, I will surrender to Sun Ce." , Let's see who is ruthless." I gritted my teeth.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "What did Mr. Lu Su come to see for you just now?"

"By the way, I was just about to discuss with you—" He repeated what he said to Lu Su just now.Guo Jia nodded again and again, and praised him endlessly; "This Lu Zijing is really knowledgeable, and every word he said just now makes sense. I think that's the way to do it, my lord. It is indeed very important to have a gold-lettered signboard." Weeping, "I want to do this too, but you said, what kind of signboard should we make the best and loudest." Guo Jia's words are similar to those of Lu Su; "Let me go back and think about it, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

We will talk about the future of these two people tomorrow, making me toss and turn sleepless all night.As I watched, the light in the window pane in front of the bed was getting brighter and brighter, and I knew it was the dawn of the next day.As soon as the rooster crowed for the third time, there was a knock on the door outside; "Young Master, Young Master——Hey, Mr. Lu Su, why did you get up so early—are you looking for Young Master?" I immediately jumped up from the bed and ran over. , opened the door quickly, and saw Guo Jia and Lu Su standing outside the door with happy faces.

"My lord, I've already thought of a signboard," Lu Su said first.

Guo Jia also smiled and said, "Jia also thought of one." I happily said, "It's just that I thought of one too, why don't everyone write it down and see if it coincides with each other." Guo Jia and Lu Su nodded in agreement.So Guo Jia brought a pen and paper, and the three of them wrote down their thoughts.After finishing writing, all three of them were dumbfounded—three kinds of answers.Guo Jia's writing is about the "Yudi" and Lu Su's thoughts are better than that of the "son-in-law". What I wrote made the two of them even more surprised.What I wrote is——Shangfang Sword and Imperial Gold Medal.I found out later that the Han Dynasty did not have these two things.

Guo Jia coughed, exchanged glances with Lu Su, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, what are the Shangfang sword and the imperial gold medal for?" "It's just like Shang Fang's sword is here in person. With this sword, it is equivalent to the emperor's substitute, but it is cut first and then played to replace the emperor to exercise authority. The imperial gold medal is even more powerful. It is a symbol of status. Sometimes it is similar to Shang Fang's sword. "Lu Su's eyes were wide open, the eyeballs almost fell out, thinking, what a joke, Cao Cao would agree.

I looked at the expressions of the two of them and said with a dry smile; "Hey, Mr. Zijing, what's the matter with your son-in-law?" Lu Su said; Princess Anyang, your age is about the same as yours, and you are not married yet. I want to use the jade seal to give you the status of a son-in-law, so that you will be a real royal relative in the future. No matter what you do, you can use the name of the Liu family Acting under the banner, how about it?" I thought it was right, but I couldn't help asking; "Then—Princess Anyang—how does she look—" Lu Su was startled; "How do I know, I didn't I've seen—" That's right, how could he have seen the princess.I asked Guo Jia again; "Feng Xiao, you're a 'young brother'—ah, I understand this, you want the emperor to recognize me as a dry brother, right? That's fine—but this consort and godbrother It seems that it can’t be done at the same time, and it has become a joke. I think it’s better to choose a son-in-law, what do you think.” Guo Jia was somewhat disappointed, but he didn’t take it to heart, and said; don't want--"

"Yes, of course, at least one of the two will be given, otherwise this matter will be regarded as a failure." I said with a sneer.Guo Jiadao: "I'll write the memorial right now, but who will send it to—" Lu Su said; "Su is willing to go." "No." I waved my hand immediately, thinking that you should go, Cao Cao can let you come back if you go .Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "It's better to let Mr. Liu Ziyang take a trip." I patted my thigh; "Okay, that's it, Fengxiao, please get back to me as soon as possible, and let Mr. Liu Ziyang leave immediately." Guo Jia wrote in the morning memorial Well, I sent Liu Ziyang out of Hefei in the afternoon, and went to Xuchang with five hundred soldiers escorted by Yuan Yin.Guo Jia sent Han Chong away and sent people to Jiangdong to make peace.In this way, he would not offend Sun Ce, and he would not have to turn against Liu Biao, which was the best of both worlds.Because Sun Ce is still in my hands, he has no intention of fighting Liu Biao, so the war in Jiangdong has come to an end.But Sun Ce—

After Liu Ziyang left, I immediately called a meeting with my generals and a group of advisors.Xu Huang, Lu Su, Gu Yong, and Guo Jia mainly discussed the matter of farming and recruiting soldiers, and finally decided to hand over this matter to Senior Brother Gu Yong, while Lu Su was mainly responsible for deploying defenses near Hefei to prevent Sun Ce and Liu Biao from attacking.In the next half a month, apart from playing chess with Sun Quan, I was busy recruiting soldiers and farming, which was quite fulfilling. The time passed so quickly. On this day, I received two news that could affect the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.

Today, I was discussing with Gu Yong about farming, when a soldier broke in and said, "Mr. Liu Ziyang came back and brought an imperial decree, saying that he wants the second son to go out to receive the decree." Glancing at me from the corner of his eyes, he thought to himself, who still takes the imperial decree seriously now, including Mr. Liu Ziyang, wouldn't it be over if you brought it in, and let the young master go out to receive the decree, which is unnecessary.

I understand what Liu Ziyang is thinking.Immediately adjusted his clothes and ran out of the gate of the general's mansion.Liu Ziyang was waiting outside the door with the imperial decree in his hand, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.As soon as I went out, I immediately fell to my knees and shouted long live three times.Liu Ziyang picked up the imperial decree and said: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said, 'Yuan Xi, the son of Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Ye, the great general, was a smart and courageous young man, loyal and filial, and cared about the country. He won the jade seal and was not greedy. , I love her very much, and in recognition of her achievements, I specially married Princess Anyang to Yuan Xi, recruited her as a husband-in-law, and bestowed him with a gold medal talisman, which I will use to supervise the local officials and bestow it on me."

"Thank you Lord Long En, long live, long live, long live." I kowtowed on the ground and bled, thinking, Cao Cao had spent all his money for Yuxi.

Liu Ziyang came to help me up, and said in a low voice, "Young master, I have met the emperor, and the emperor even gave you a piece of clothing, and asked me to bring you a message." I looked back, and the soldier behind Liu Ziyang waved his hand and said ;"Go, go to Mr. Gu to receive the reward." The soldiers immediately dispersed when they heard that they wanted to receive the reward.

Liu Ziyang said mysteriously: "What the emperor said is very strange, I don't quite understand it. He said: 'Greetings to your young master for me, and tell him not to forget the hardships of the past. I have never forgotten all these years. His deep friendship. Here is a winter coat, which was sewn by the empress herself and handed over to Mr. Yuan Xi for me. ——The emperor finally returned—” Liu Ziyang sighed; Wearing this belt on me is like being around me every day, watch it carefully, and don't disappoint me."

A consciousness flashed across my mind, and I said loudly; "Where is the winter coat?" Liu Ziyang was taken aback, and pointed to the carriage behind him; "It's inconvenient to carry, I put it on the carriage." I held Liu Ziyang's hand Said: "Mr. Ziyang has worked hard all the way, please come to my room to rest." I personally went to the car to get the winter clothes, and I saw that it was a black, thick, and delicate workmanship made of finely embroidered Shu brocade.Touching the belt with his hand, he shouted in his heart; "The clothes belt—here is the clothes belt—"

When Guo Jia and Lu Su came to my room, Liu Ziyang and I had already torn off our belts and took out the blood book inside.Liu Ziyang kept wondering; "My lord—this edict—I don't even know, how did you guess it." I said vaguely; "I am, I just touched it with my hands—"

Guo Jia and Lu Su were confused, they looked at Liu Ziyang and then at me, Lu Su finally understood after reading the blood book, there were Prince Shifu and Shangshu Zhongji, Uncle Cheqi General Dong Cheng, Xiliang Governor Shi Ma Teng signature.Multiples Cao Cao how to monopolize the country, bully the emperor and collude with party members to corrupt the government, and demand that the people of the world work hard for the king to beg for thieves.

Lu Su and Guo Jia were overjoyed after watching it, and Guo Jia smiled; "This is really God's help, the son sent the clothes and belts to Jizhou, and the lord Yuan Shao is famous as a teacher." Lu Su said; "I heard that His Majesty has promised to send Anyang The princess is going to marry a son, so we must not break our promise, and immediately ordered someone to send the jade seal to Xuchang, that thing is useless, whoever holds it will be unlucky, and it is only suitable to stay with the emperor." I looked at Liu Ziyang, and Liu Ziyang smiled wryly; "Okay Well, I'll leave immediately and go to Xuchang again." Guo Jia smiled and said; "Although His Majesty betrothed the princess to you, he didn't say when he would marry you. After a long time, Cao Cao regretted it. In this way, I ordered someone to marry you Spread this matter among the nearby states and counties, let everyone know the identity of the son-in-law, and force Cao Cao to submit."

While talking here, Le suddenly ran in out of breath; "No—it's not good, Second Young Master, Sun Ce, Sun Ce—was assassinated by an assassin."
