Chapter 111 Goodbye Yuan Shao
Yuan Chang and his entourage came to Nanpi County, the seat of Bohai County, which is also a large county in Jizhou, comparable to Julu County, Wei County and other large counties. Otherwise, with Yuan Shao's identity, how could he honestly stay in the position of Bohai County Guard.
Bohai County has nineteen counties and eight Hou States, so the population is also the highest among the counties.
Nanpi is bordered by the Bohai Sea in the east, and the terrain is flat, whether it is to grow grain or fruit trees, it is an excellent place. In the era before Yuan Chang's crossing, Nanpi was recognized by the state as a commercial grain base. Therefore, the geographical conditions of Nanpi are undoubtedly excellent.
However, Nanpi does not have any natural protection, and in this era of war, Nanpi's situation is very entangled.
Yuan Chang helped the daughters of the Zhen family find a hotel to live in, leaving Dian Wei, Liu Xi, Diao Xiu'er, and Peter, while he took Zhao Yun to Yuan Shao's mansion.
In Yuan Shao's mansion, Yuan Shao was sitting in the center of the mat, and Feng Ji and Xun Chen were kneeling in front of him. The three of them are here at the moment, naturally discussing matters about Jizhou.
"Lord, now that Gongsun Chan has broken the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou, his power is flourishing, we need to be cautious to seize Jizhou with his hands, if one is not careful, he will be harmed. ”
Xun Chen bowed and reminded with a stern expression.
Just when Yuan Chang went to Chang'an, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans gathered 300,000 people and wanted to meet with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. Gongsun Zhan, with his subordinate [White Horse Yicong] as the vanguard, led 20,000 foot cavalry to break through the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and beheaded more than 30,000; Gongsun Zhan waited for them to attack halfway through and defeated the Yellow Turban Army again, with tens of thousands of dead, more than 70,000 prisoners, and countless cars and property. Gongsun Zhan's prestige is unparalleled for a while, even if he is the former leader of the coalition Yuan Shao, he can't be compared.
"If what you say is true, I should remember it in my heart. ”
Yuan Shao responded to Xun Chen with a dignified expression, now Yuan Shao is only the Taishou of Bohai, Jizhou has not yet been taken, and the only strategists under his command are Feng Ji and Xun Chen. Therefore, he listened quite to what these two men said. It's just that when Jizhou was taken, there were more strategists and generals under his command, Yuan Shao was indecisive, and the strategists fought for power with each other, which made it difficult for Yuan Shao to obey the strategists' advice.
Xun Chen saw that Yuan Shao listened to his words, and he didn't say anything, and sat in his position again.
Feng Ji glanced at Xun Chen vaguely, with an inexplicable expression. Of course, Feng Ji was a little jealous in his heart, thinking that Xun Chen had stolen his limelight. However, Xun Chen just nodded and stopped saying anything, and Feng Ji didn't say anything. It was proposed by Feng Ji to let Yuan Shao take the opportunity to seize Jizhou, and of course Feng Ji didn't want others to seize this great credit. What Xun Chen said didn't have much to do with this matter, so Feng Jicai didn't react.
"My lord, Gongsun Chan has now agreed to send troops to Jizhou. The lord should send a man who can speak well to lobby Han Fu, such a big thing can be accomplished!"
Feng Ji lowered his eyebrows, his heart moved, and an idea suddenly appeared.
"Meta Diagram makes sense!"
Yuan Shao brushed his short beard and nodded in agreement with Feng Ji's mention. At that moment, Yuan Shao immediately asked: "Yuan Tu, who do you think can take on this great responsibility?" Although Han Fu has no talent, he is quite suspicious, if he can't succeed at one time, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble. ”
Xun Chen, who was sitting on the side, had the same expression, stood up from the brocade seat, and saluted: "If the lord does not give up, his subordinates are willing to share the worries of the lord." ”
Xun Chen is not stupid, of course he sees Feng Ji's intentions. Feng Ji didn't want him to stay by Yuan Shao's side, afraid that he would compete with him. Regarding Feng Ji's thoughts, Xun Chen just sneered in his heart. Yuan Shao was just an incompetent person, and when he became the leader of the coalition, he couldn't take the opportunity to create a zào advantage, but in order to save a little troops, he had evil intentions with the princes, and finally disbanded the coalition army.
Xun Chen had already seen that Yuan Shao's ability was insufficient, and in this world that was about to be in chaos, sooner or later he would be swallowed up. Xun Chen is not a betrayer, but he will not accompany Yuan Shao to die, and when the time is ripe, he will leave.
"It's best if you go. ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, stood up from his seat, and took Xun Chen's hand and looked extremely cordial. Compared with Feng Ji, Yuan Shao attaches more importance to Xun Chen.
As we all know, Yuan Shao employs people with the most reputation.
Although Feng Ji is talented, his family is a heaven and an underground compared to the Yingchuan Xun clan. This cannot be changed even if Feng Ji is jealous.
The Yingchuan Xun clan is also a big family, and compared with the Yuan clan of the fourth and third dukes, it is not much worse. Moreover, Xun's talents are more prosperous than Yuan's. The reason why it is a little worse than the Yuan family is because the Xun family is lower than the Yuan family as an official in the court. The fourth of the Yuan family is the third duke, but the Xun family has no one to the third duke. Therefore, although Xun Chen is Yuan Shao's subordinate, Yuan Shao can't call him around. With Xun Chen's background, he can be reused by any prince.
Yuan Shao rejoiced for a moment, then frowned and pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban are endless, if you go to Gaoyi, you should be escorted along the way. Just a few days ago, my nephew Gao Yuancai came to serve, and this time he asked him to escort Youruo to Gaoyi, and it was also just to investigate Yuancai's ability. ”
"One qiē obey the orders of the lord!"
Xun Chen saluted Yuan Shao and bowed his head. To go to Gaoyi, he also has to prepare. As for whether he could convince Han Fu, Xun Chen didn't doubt it at all. He believed that with his incorruptible tongue and the acquaintances under Han Fu, it was a sure thing to convince Han Fu.
glanced at Xun Chen jealously, but Feng Ji was helpless.
Fengjia has a little reputation in Hebei, but it is not worth mentioning compared with the famous Yingchuan Xun family. He can make small means to make Xun Chen unhappy, but he doesn't dare to go too far, otherwise if Xun Chen really wants to care, it will definitely be him who is thankless.
"Lord Taishou, someone outside the door claims to be the adult's brother Yuan Chang, and he wants to see the adult. ”
Yuan Chang used to follow Yuan Shu, but now Yuan Chang crossed over, replaced the real Yuan Chang, and discovered Yuan Shu's killing intent towards him, so he left Yuan Shu to join Yuan Shao. Therefore, it is natural that Yuan Shao's guards do not know Yuan Chang, which is naturally a normal thing.
"Brother Chang?"
Yuan Shao frowned and whispered, when he was in Luoyang before, a soldier reported to him, saying that Yuan Chang and Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated, and Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Chang was dead, and felt a little sorry in his heart. Of course, Yuan Shao was not sorry because of Yuan Chang, but because of the absence of Yuan Chang, there was one less person in the Yuan family who supported him. Otherwise, Yuan Chang is just a dispensable person for Yuan Shao.
"Let my brother in!"
Yuan Shao commanded the guards, and then kept silent. And Feng Ji also sat quietly on the side, Yuan Chang, whether it was for Yuan Shao or Feng Ji, couldn't cause much waves.
