Volume 2 Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 12 The rabbit walks on the street
"Why did Wu Yilang say this." Yuan Shao picked up Wu Shuo, the envoy sent by the Han Emperor, and led him to the chairman to ask, "What happened to the Son of Heaven?" β
Wu Shuo was asked by Yuan Shao, and immediately wiped his tears, and at the civil and military forces present, including Yuan Shao, he painfully told about what happened to the Han Emperor in Chang'an in recent years. It turned out that after Dong Zhuo was killed, his generals Guo Yan, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, under the planning of the strategist Jia Xu, defeated LΓΌ Bu, killed Wang Yun and others, and occupied Chang'an, the capital division. After that, Zhang Ji was named a hussar general and the Marquis of Pingyang, and led his troops to leave Chang'an and stationed in Hongnong. The three of them, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, were respectively named Chiyang Marquis, Meiyang Marquis, and Wannian Marquis, and stayed in Chang'an to control the government. However, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention that three tigers appeared out of thin air in Chang'an City. So as the passage of time, the relationship between the three became more and more tense. In the spring of the second year of Xingping, the first one who couldn't hold his breath, Chiyang Hou Li Dao, preemptively instructed his nephew Hu Feng, the commander of the cavalry, to stab Fan Chou, the Marquis of Wannian, to death at the banquet. Fan Chou's death shocked one of the three marquises, Guo Yan, the Marquis of Meiyang. Afraid that Li Dao would use the banquet to poison and assassinate him, he not only used dung juice to vomit food, but also ordered soldiers and horses to attack each other with Li Dao's soldiers and horses.
And Guo Yan and Li Dao have been fighting for several months without stopping. At first, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was also happy to watch the two major warlords fight each other and lose both. For this reason, he also took the opportunity to send his confidant Wu Shuo to Yecheng to ask Yuan Shao for help. However, during the period when Wu Shuo went north, the internal strife between Guo Yan and Li Wei continued to escalate, and soon the death toll exceeded 10,000. And Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty also realized that Chang'an City would be razed to the ground by Guo and Li sooner or later. So he hurriedly sent envoys to discuss and two. But Guo Yan and Li Wei only knew how to ask Liu Xie for a reward, and they had no intention of stopping. Seeing this situation, Liu Xie, who had experienced hardships, realized that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he planned to flee Chang'an under the pretext of sacrificing heaven and earth and join Zhang Ji, who was stationed in Hongnong. After all, compared with the lawless Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, Zhang Ji was quite respectful and polite to Liu Xie.
But he never thought that Liu Xiecai would go out of Xuanping Gate, and was about to cross the moat bridge, when he was arrested by Guo Yan and Li Wei. Fortunately, just when the Son of Heaven was in a dilemma, Zhang Ji led his troops to arrive in time. So after some mediation, Li Dao agreed to leave Chang'an and garrison Chiyang. And Guo Yan led his troops to escort Liu Xie to Hongnong to preside over the sacrifice with Zhang Ji. However, when everyone traveled to Xinfeng, Guo Yan suddenly changed his mind and planned to take Liu Xie hostage to Gaoling. When Shizhong Chongji got the news, he secretly informed the national abbot Dong Cheng and Yang Ding, Yang Feng and other generals who were pro-Son of Heaven, and ordered them to meet in Xinfeng. On the other hand, he sent a messenger to Yecheng to inform Wu Shuo of the abduction of the Son of Heaven, hoping that he could move from Yuan Shao's side to rescue the troops. After all, Liu Xie and the ministers are no longer Guo Yan, Li Dao and other Dong Zhuo's remnants.
Wu Shuo was far away from Si Li and didn't know what the battle situation in Xinfeng was at this time, so as soon as he got the news, he hurried to cry to Yuan Shao. At this time, after listening to the ins and outs of the whole thing, all the civil and military forces present were in an uproar. While denouncing Dong Zhuo's remaining cruelty and perverse behavior, everyone also secretly sighed in their hearts that the Han Mansion would collapse. Cai Ji, who is familiar with history, was not surprised by the news brought by Wu Shuo, but was a little curious about how the celebrities of Jizhou present would react.
However, to Cai Ji's surprise, after Wu Shuo's narration, the first person to stand up and echo was not a celebrity or a famous general. It was Cao Ang, who had just received Yuan Shao's reward. But seeing Cao Ang, he immediately got up and stood in the center, hugged his fist at Yuan Shao and said, "Shibo, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and we should order troops to rescue the driver." β
It stands to reason that in this case, if Yuan Shao is a loyal and good general, he should first praise Cao Ang, and then call his own soldiers to announce the rescue of the driver. But Yuan Shao is not this kind of person. Therefore, at this time, he first glanced at Cao Ang, then coughed lightly and nodded, "Zi Xiu's words are reasonable. However, the matter of saving the driver is a matter of importance, and we must not act recklessly. β
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao raised his head again and looked around at the civil and military forces present, and after meeting his gaze with Fu Zhi, he announced in a loud voice that today's safari was over. Although the princes and I have returned to the city to discuss the countermeasures"
It is true that Yuan Shao ordered to end the safari and return to the city to discuss countermeasures, but the "gentlemen" in his mouth did not include Cai Jizai. After all, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Cai Ji is still just a new person, and no matter how eye-catching his talent is, he is not suitable to participate in the core discussion of Yuan Shao's faction. However, Cai Ji herself didn't care about this, because even if she didn't participate in the conspiracy of Yuan Shao and others, she didn't know what choice Yuan Shao would make in the end. In contrast, Cai Ji at this moment is more willing to be excluded from the small group by Yuan Shao, so that he can have enough secret thinking about how to deal with the variables in front of him.
With a full heart in mind, Cai Ji took Li Da back to the county residence where she temporarily lived in Yecheng. A county residence is an official building that is used to provide accommodation for officials and merchants of a certain county. The county residence first appeared in Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, and its function was similar to that of the Beijing Office or the Township Hall in later generations. Yecheng is not the capital of the Han Dynasty, but it also has a corresponding county residence, which will make people feel the ambition of Yuan Shao, the lord of Yecheng. However, in Cai Ji's opinion, such trivial matters are no longer important, and with the exile of the Han Emperor, Yuan Shao's ambitions will only swell day by day.
The exile of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a major event in Chinese history. If Cai Ji does not change history, then this incident will directly lead to the famous "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes" in later generations. And if she does, how? And how much of a butterfly effect will it cause? All kinds of questions and worries made Cai Ji, who was clear about the historical process, not dare to jump to conclusions at this time. Therefore, as soon as she returned to the county mansion, she immediately found Liu Yixun, the only advisor by her side, to discuss the captivity of the Han Emperor.
In other words, Liu Yixun originally thought that Cai Jiqian was looking for a discussion about the future Qingzhou strategy. He once thought that Cai Ji would say that he was taken captive today, which shocked him dumbfounded. However, Liu Yixun is also a famous person in Qingzhou, so after experiencing the initial shock, he immediately calmed down and turned to think about the current situation. And Cai Ji, who was sitting opposite him, was not in a hurry or impatient, waiting for his answer. So, after some careful consideration, Liu Yixun analyzed in a deep voice, "If this is the case, Yuan Gongyin immediately ordered soldiers and horses, rushed to Xinfeng to rescue the driver, and greeted the Son of Heaven." In this way, it is not only in line with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, but also in the name of the Son of Heaven to crusade against rebellions that do not obey the court. β
In the face of Liu Yixun's words similar to the historical "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes", Cai Ji couldn't help but secretly praise his insight in his heart. At the same time, I am also happy to get a good strategist. However, appreciation is appreciated, but Cai Ji knows that Yuan Shao will not choose this shortcut. So she immediately waved her hand and shook her head and said, "Although Yixun's strategy is wonderful, with Yuan Gong's style, most of them will not act like this." β
"Why did the prince say this?" Liu Yixun frowned and said puzzled. In his opinion, with Yuan Shao's current fame and power, it is most appropriate to take the route of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. If things go well, maybe within two or three years, this troubled era will end in the hands of Yuan Benchu.
However, Cai Ji mentioned to Liu Yixun meaningfully, "Has Yixun forgotten about Liu Yu?" β
Liu Yixun was reminded by Cai Jiyi, and naturally remembered the old story when Yuan Shao wanted to support Liu Yu to replace Liu Xie. However, Liu Yixun obviously didn't see this matter as a problem, but when he saw him, he immediately shook his head and said, "Although Yuan Gong had plans to abolish the emperor in the past, Yuan Gong's move was also aimed at preventing Guozuo from falling into the hands of traitors such as Dong Zhuo. Now Dong thief is ambushed, as long as Yuan Gong saves the Son of Heaven in time. According to Liu, this matter can be revealed. β
Revealed? You also look down on Yuan Shao and Liu Che's minds. After Cai Ji smiled helplessly in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Yixun's words are wrong. Yuan Gong's original intention to depose the emperor was not just to deal with Dong Zhuo. β
Although Liu Yixun felt that Cai Ji had taken refuge in Yuan Shao, it was a little strange that he always thought of Yuan Shao as a disadvantage. But since he has already served Cai Ji as his lord at this moment, he has no choice but to patiently ask, "How can you see it?" β
Cai Ji saw that Liu Yixun looked disapproving, so he told Liu Yixun everything that happened at the previous poetry meeting. Liu Yixun first heard Cai Ji's poem with the words "competition" and "disease", and sincerely praised Cai Ji's talent. When he heard Yuan Shao follow Cai Ji's sentence "I need Emperor Wu to mention something" and directly rewarded Cao Ang with a lot of money, his face suddenly changed, "Could it be that Yuan Gong has a heart of disobedience?" β
"It's not enough to be subservient. There is a bit of arrogance that is unwilling to be subservient to others. Cai Ji thought of Yuan Shao's various deeds in history and commented. Indeed, although Yuan Shao repeatedly disrespected the Han Emperor in history, he did not dare to call the emperor anti-Han until his death.
However, although Cai Ji's words were indifferent, in the ears of Liu Yixun, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the so-called "arrogance of not being willing to succumb to others" is a heart of disobedience. In fact, through Yuan Shao's expression in the past few years, Liu Yixun also knew that General Yuan was by no means a loyal person. But the powerful ministers who control the government and the rebellious ministers who are unwilling to submit to the Son of Heaven are completely different things. So after listening to Cai Ji's analysis at this time, Liu Yixun only felt that his head was as big as a fight. In these years, the future and net worth of the strategist depend entirely on the ambition of the lord. The lord is ambitious, and the strategists are strategic. The lord is short-sighted, and the strategist Mingzhu secretly casts. However, if the lord has a bad plan, then the counsellor will not know the way forward.
In contrast, Cai Ji is not as worried as Liu Yixun. Because she never intended to show her loyalty to Yuan Shao from the beginning, she naturally would not be bothered by the fact that the "lord" went astray. At this moment, she saw Liu Yixun bowing her head and pondering, and couldn't help but get up and walk to the window, looking at the sun outside the window that was gradually slanting westward, and sorted out her thoughts.
It can be seen from Liu Yixun's mention just now that "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" is the consensus of many strategists and princes in this era. After all, as long as there is the banner of the Han Emperor, no matter how small the force is, it can instantly turn over and worship the prime minister. Just as after Dong Zhuo's death, Guo Yan, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou were afraid of being liquidated by the imperial court and planned to flee lightly. Thanks to the strategist Jia Xu, he reminded the four of them that if they fled alone, a mere pavilion chief could tie up any of them and send them to the official. And if these four people attacked Chang'an in the name of revenge for Dong Zhuo and captured the Han Emperor, they could "serve the country to conquer the world". In the end, Guo Yan, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou led the rabble recruited along the way to conquer Chang'an City, and turned from thieves to Hou Ye.
That...... Can the Son of Heaven usher in Donglai? For a moment, Cai Ji was startled by this thought that popped up in his heart. But then she felt that this was not a fantasy. In terms of her background, Cai Ji is far better than Guo, Li, Zhang, and Fan, and in terms of strength, the elite soldiers of Donglai can't compare to the rabble of these four? Moreover, she is a daughter, and she is less likely to be suspicious of the Han Emperor than male princes such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. More importantly, as long as Liu Xie's trump card is in hand, Cai Ji will be able to get rid of Yuan Shao's control immediately, and he no longer has to worry about being involved in Yuan's house fight.
Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately turned back to Liu Yixun and asked, "Yixun, do you think this mansion can welcome the Son of Heaven?" β
Liu Yixun, who was still thinking down, couldn't help but look up at the girl who was staring at him in astonishment when he heard Cai Ji ask such a question. Obviously, Cai Ji's vain attempt to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes greatly surprised Liu Yixun. But then again, it is a good thing for any counselor to have great ambitions. This means that the strategists will have a bigger stage to perform. But how to help the lord realize his ambition and not go astray is also the duty of the strategist.
Therefore, Liu Yixun at this time was amazed that Cai Ji was ambitious and did not let her eyebrows go; On the other hand, his face sank, and he responded to Cai Ji solemnly, "The rabbit walks on the street, and hundreds of people chase him." However, Yuan Shao can get it, but Yuan Shu can't get it. β
Although Liu Yixun did not answer Cai Ji positively, "yes" or "no". But his analogy has clearly warned Cai Ji that she now has neither the strength nor the capital to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. And Cai Ji was reminded by Liu Yixun, and then calmed down. Indeed, the Han Emperor at this moment is like a rabbit who has been driven into the field. Although a hunter like Yuan Shao may disdain to catch rabbits, it does not mean that other princes have no intention of catching rabbits. Especially in history, Cao Cao, who "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", was still next to Qingzhou at this time. If Liu Xie is really welcomed to Donglai, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be taken away again. At that time, without the Han Emperor, Donglai will suffer heavy losses, so wouldn't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice?
After some rational analysis, Cai Ji finally had to sigh abruptly and said, "Yixun is reasonable, it's Meng Lang of this mansion." β
Liu Yixun saw Cai Ji accepting the opinion with a disappointed look on his face, and while secretly sighing that his son could be taught, he smiled slightly and mentioned to him, "No, no." Although the prince of the palace cannot welcome the Son of Heaven, he can help the Son of Heaven. β
"Helping the Son of Heaven?" After Cai Ji recalled these three words, he immediately bowed down respectfully to Liu Yixun and said, "Please also give me advice." β
Cai Ji's humble attitude moved Liu Yixun a little. It must be known that when he was in Beihai, although Kong Rong treated him as a guest, he never asked him for advice. This is undoubtedly more uncomfortable for a counselor than death. And the young lady in front of him is not only ambitious, but also really needs help. So Liu Yixun, who was hot in his heart, immediately gave up his hand and said the strategy, "Liu thinks that the prince of the government can allocate more than 100 cavalry to escort the envoy to Xinfeng to rescue the driver." In this way, you can show the loyalty of the prince to the world, and you can sell the favor of the Son of Heaven. I don't know if the prince is reluctant to let go. β
