Chapter 276: Yuan Chang's Letter
"Sir, you let Cao Cao get 100,000 young people for nothing, is this really good?"
Gongsun Chan looked at the black-robed man who was sitting on the side and leisurely sipping tea, and asked with a puzzled expression. However, for the intelligence of the black-robed people, Gongsun Chan is quite admired. Gongsun Chan is also a prince, so naturally it is impossible for someone to come to the door and say that he wants to cooperate with him, so he agrees, unless Gongsun Chan is brain-dead.
However, when the black-robed man casually threw a few tricks to Gongsun Zhan, he let several surrounding foreign tribes attack each other, and Gongsun Chan immediately regarded the black-robed man as a master.
Originally, Gongsun Chan felt that with the help of the black-robed people, he could directly wipe out the alien race. However, the black-robed man disagreed, and the black-robed man directly told Gongsun Zan that it was wishful thinking to rely on the forces under his command to wipe out the alien race. People of different races are not all stupid, and they use some tricks to make them attack each other, but if such a scheme is used too much, it will definitely be noticed. If this is the case, the gains outweigh the losses, and it will not be effective to use the plan at a critical moment in the future.
After listening to the advice of the black-robed man, Gongsun Chan also let go of this thought. Then, Gongsun Chan united with the black-robed people. The purpose of the black-robed man is to dominate the world, and the purpose of Gongsun Chan is to sweep away the alien race, and there is no conflict between the two. Now Gongsun Chan first helped the black-robed people seize Jizhou, and Gongsun Chan seized Youzhou after the black-robed people captured Jizhou, and the two of them could calm the world.
The black-robed man put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "Cao Cao is the male master, and he will not be willing to live under others." General Xu Zijiang once said that Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, and what we have to do is to make this world completely chaotic, so that Cao Cao will have room to play. Once Cao Cao had enough power, his neighboring three states, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, would surely become his targets. While Cao Cao was busy competing with Sanzhou, we could also take the opportunity to take Jizhou. ”
I have to say that this black-robed man's conception is very good, just like the Longzhong pair between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. And Cao Cao, who was originally in history, moved forward as the black-robed man said.
Of course, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have strategists under their commands, and it is not so easy for the black-robed people to capture Jizhou.
Gongsun Zhan frowned, and said with a little worry: "Cao Cao was able to become the Taishou of Shangdong County because of Yuan Shao's recommendation. If Jizhou is in trouble, wouldn't Cao Cao bring in troops to help, and wouldn't the 100,000 young men that Mr. gave to Cao Cao become Cao Cao's help?"
The black-robed man glanced at Gongsun Chan without a trace, sneered in his heart, and secretly sighed that Gongsun Chan was able to develop to the point where he is now, and he was really lucky. Otherwise, with his ability, the black-robed man really wouldn't have joined forces with him.
The black-robed man took a sip of tea from his teacup, and reminded lightly: "Didn't General Gongsun forget Yuzhou Yuan Highway and Xuzhou Tao Gongzu?"
But why did this black-robed man mention Yuan Shu in Yuzhou and Tao Qian in Xuzhou?
At the beginning, Cao Cao sent a message to condemn Dong Zhuo, but Tao Qian did not want to participate. At that time, Tao Qian was already fifty-eight years old, nearly sixty years old. The ambition of his youth has long been smoothed out, and he just wants to keep his one-acre and three-point field in Xuzhou. However, Tao Qian wanted to be bland, but Yuan Shao did not agree. After learning that Tao Qian was not going to participate, Yuan Shao immediately sent a letter, saying that if you Tao Qian did not participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo's righteous army, what was your intention, and did you want to be in cahoots with Dong Zhuo? Therefore, Tao Qian had to join the alliance of princes.
The fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, there are many protégés and deceased officials, and many officials in Xuzhou are protégés of the Yuan family. Once Tao Qian is characterized as Dong Zhuo's faction, he will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years. Tao Qian was forced to join the coalition army, and naturally resented Yuan Shao in his heart.
Later, the princes and Dong Zhuo fought, and the Sili and Kanto areas were tragically destroyed by the war, and most of the people of Sili and Kanto fled to other places. Among them, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jingzhou became the choice of the people, therefore, the population of these four states increased, and the war did not occur in these four states, and the four states gradually had abundant people and abundant grain and grass. When the coalition army was crusading against Dong Zhuo, the grain and grass were basically supplied by these four states, which shows the wealth of the four states.
Then the coalition forces failed to defeat Dong Zhuo, but there were contradictions inside. First, Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, was killed by Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and then Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou.
Under such circumstances, Tao Qian, who is the assassin of Xuzhou, naturally began to be anxious.
The people of Xuzhou are abundant, full of grain and grass, and Jizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou are listed as one of the richest states in the world, which can be said to be a piece of fat. Tao Qian was not stupid, and knew that he must be the goal of becoming those ambitious princes. For example, Yuan Shao, for example, Cao Cao, both wanted to occupy his Xuzhou.
Tao Qian naturally doesn't want to be slaughtered, but now that he is old, it is impossible to keep Xuzhou. Therefore, it naturally became his choice to unite with others.
As the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu do not agree, and it is not a secret matter between the princes. Therefore, Tao Qian naturally united with Yuan Shu. There are many scholars in Yuzhou, and there are many grains and grasses in Xuzhou. As a condition of cooperation, Tao Qian provided Yuan Shu with grain and grass, and Yuan Shu provided Tao Qian with county officials. Anyway, these officials only serve in the county, as long as they govern their respective territories well, and they are not Tao Qian's core team, Tao Qian does not have to worry about these people.
Of course, Tao Qian chose to unite with Yuan Shu for another reason, that is, Sun Jian under Yuan Shu.
At the beginning of the war with Dong Zhuo, the princes had no victory, so Sun Jian fought so that the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo did not dare to fight with him. Yuan Shu has such a general under his command, which is of course a good thing for his ally Tao Qian. It's a pity that Sun Jian fell in the battle with Jingzhou later, and Tao Qian's heart was half cold.
However, fortunately, it wasn't long before Gongsun Chan joined their alliance.
Before the discussion of Dong, the contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao was not big, which was equivalent to nothing. However, later Yuan Shao said that Jizhou would be divided equally, but it was not realized, and finally the two turned from a small contradiction to a big contradiction, and they went to war because of this. Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue died because of Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao could not reconcile.
Gongsun Chan fought against foreign races, and his prestige was extremely high, and with such a teammate joining, Tao Qian naturally raised his hand to welcome him. Moreover, after becoming an ally with Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian provided grain and grass, and Gongsun Chan provided war horses, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
When the black-robed man mentioned Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, he naturally asked Gongsun Zhan to borrow the strength of the two.
Listening to the words of the black-robed man, Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What Mr. said is very true, I will send a letter to Yuan Shu and Tao Qian, and without Cao Cao's help, it will not be easy to take Jizhou." ”
"General Gongsun is slow!"
Looking at Gongsun Zhan's puzzled eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of the black-robed man's mouth. Although Gongsun Chan couldn't see his expression because of the black robe covering his face, Gongsun Chan just knew the expression of the black-robed man at this moment. Sure enough, hearing the black-robed man's next words, Gongsun Zan was sure that the black-robed man was really laughing.
"General Gong doesn't need to worry, before that, I have asked Yuan Shu and Tao Qian to send troops in the name of the general. Thinking about it, now Yuan Shu and Tao Qian's army is already on the way. ”
Gongsun Zhan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. is talented, a certain respect!"
At this moment, a soldier outside the door shouted for a military report, and Gongsun Chan hurriedly let the spies in. However, what Gongsun Chan heard was unfortunate news.
……
Yecheng, Yuan Shao's mansion, in the study
Yuan Shao was reading a book of the Art of War, but looking at his face, he didn't seem to be paying attention to the Art of War, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Father!"
"Come in!"
Yuan Shao put down the art of war and responded lightly. Then a person pushed the door in, but the person who came was Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Shao, who was expressionless, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, he had been looking good recently, I don't know why his father would call him?
"The father called the child here, I don't know what happened?"
Yuan Tan asked cautiously, and then stood aside respectfully, even if the person in front of him was his father, he did not have warm feelings in his heart, but was mostly afraid.
"Take it and see!"
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, just lightly threw a piece of paper in his hand to Yuan Tan. However, the more Yuan Shao was like this, the more panicked Yuan Tan became.
Taking the paper and opening it, and quickly browsing the content on it, Yuan Tan's heart suddenly burst out, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The letter was sent by Yuan Chang, and the content was not much, it simply told what happened in the suburbs of Wuji County, and explained that someone planted a blame for Yuan Shang, and Yuan Chang would never believe that Yuan Shang would do such a thing. Of course, this matter is not a big deal for Yuan Shao or Yuan Tan. However, the most crucial thing is the last paragraph. It said that Yuan Tan proposed to the Zhang family when he was in Bohai County, and Yuan Chang had already made a marriage with Zhen Jiang, if he had known what Yuan Tan meant, Yuan Chang would not have been married to Zhen Jiang.
The most lethal thing is, of course, this passage!
For Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan, Yuan Chang's words are not a big deal. In today's era, the status of women is low, and to put it mildly, it is a tool for inheritance. Yuan Chang would say this sentence and not let them feel that there was anything wrong. Of course, if they knew Yuan Chang's affection for Zhen Jiang, they probably knew that Yuan Chang had ulterior motives.
However, when the first part of the letter is linked to the last paragraph, then I believe that anyone with a little brain knows what it means.
"Bang!"
Yuan Shaomeng slapped the desk and said in a deep voice: "I can't even do something perfectly, and I still want to blame Xianfu." Stay in Yecheng honestly for the next year, and don't cause anything to happen to me again. Otherwise, even if you are my son, I will not show mercy. Alright, you can go down if it's nothing!"
For Yuan Shao, it was not angry that Yuan Tan would do such a thing. He was angry that Yuan Tan couldn't even do things well, and he failed to dispatch so many people.
"Yes, Father!"
Yuan Tan responded respectfully, and then turned to leave, when he turned his back to Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan's face was hideous, his fists were clenched, he read Yuan Chang's name in his heart, and roared Yuan Chang I will not rest with you.
Yuan Shao rubbed his brows and whispered to the door: "Come here, order the subordinate officials to come to my mansion to discuss matters." ”
The next day, Yuan Shao led Jizhou's subordinate officials and generals such as Wen Chou and Yan Liang to the south to conquer the yellow scarf, where there was a yellow scarf waiting for him to clean up.
