Volume 2 Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 48 Accompany the king like a tiger
"Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye."
At nightfall, Sun Ce, who was only twenty-one years old, held the letter sent by Yuan Shu and muttered in a low voice this proverb that had long been widely circulated in the Central Plains. And the two middle-aged scribes sitting behind him also looked preoccupied. At this time, he heard one of the scribes with three long beards frowning and sighing, "I have heard that Yuan Shu is quite interested in this prophecy. It is believed that the "way" in "the way of the Han dynasty is high" is implied to its name, "art" and its word "highway". And he has always claimed that the ancestor of the Yuan family came from the Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was a descendant of Shun, Shun is Tude, yellow; Han is fire virtue, red; Replacing red with yellow is the order of operation of the five elements. Now he is using this prophecy to test the lord's tone. It seems that Yuan Shu's intention to usurp the throne is irreversible. ”
"It's not just irreversible, it's just an arrow that has to be fired. Zigang didn't know that Yuan Highway had obtained the jade seal, and it was probably only a matter of time before he ascended the throne and became the emperor. Sun Ce said that, and casually threw the letter on the case.
The scribe named Zigang in front of him is Zhang Hong, a famous scholar in Guangling, whose name is Zigang. The 45-year-old Zhang Hong originally lost his mother and temporarily lived in Jiangdu. After Sun Ce heard the news, he personally visited Zhang Hong and wanted to invite Zhang Hong out of the mountain. At first, Zhang Hong did not take Sun Ce, who was not yet twenty years old at the time, to heart, and politely declined his invitation. But Sun Ce was not discouraged, but came to the door again and again to discuss the general trend of the world with Zhang Hong. A year later, Zhang Hong was finally moved by Sun Ce's perseverance and loyalty, and decided to help him achieve hegemony. And at this time, Zhang Hong heard that Yuan Shu had a jade seal in his hand, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Where did the jade seal Yuan Shu get from?" ”
Sun Ce was asked by the other party, and he couldn't help but look at the other scribe present. And this scribe is Sun Ce's third uncle, Sun Jing. In other words, although Sun Jing is not as brave as his brother Sun Jian, he is a wise person. In his early years, he had entangled five or six hundred people from the Xiangqu and clan to follow Sun Jian's affairs, and he also had some combat experience. Therefore, after Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan and pacified the counties, he sent someone to invite the third uncle who lived nearby to discuss important matters. And the reason why Sun Ce will communicate with the third uncle with his eyes at this moment is because the jade seal is a big secret of the Sun family.
It turned out that Sun Ce's father, Sun Jianxing, had sent troops to Dong Zhuo, and after he invaded Luoyang, he inadvertently salvaged the jade seal of the country in a well in the palace. According to the remnants of the palace attendants, this was when Zhang Rang and others made a rebellion and hijacked the Son of Heaven to escape, and the sealman threw him into the well. However, after Sun Jian got the jade seal, he did not hand it over to the Son of Heaven, and even did not admit to the outside world that he had picked up the jade seal, but hid the jade seal privately. Later, when Sun Jian was conquering Jingzhou, he was shot by Huang Zu's general with a hidden arrow. Sun Ce, who was only seventeen years old at the time, brought back Sun Jian's coffin and buried it in Qu'a County. After the event, Sun Ce crossed the river, lived in Jiangdu, married handsome people, and waited to develop wings to avenge his father. However, at this time, Yuan Shu, who had swallowed the jade seal, detained Sun Ce's mother and forced her to hand over the jade seal. In desperation, Sun Ce had to sacrifice the jade seal in exchange for his mother's safety. And he simply threw himself under Yuan Shu and used Yuan Shu's momentum to accumulate strength.
Although the whole thing is said to be Yuan Shu taking advantage of the danger, after all, it is Sun Jian who swallows the jade seal first. Speaking out will affect Sun Jian's reputation to some extent. But at this moment, seeing that Sun Jingchao nodded slightly, Sun Cedang let go of the burden in his heart, and instead replied truthfully to Zhang Hong, "Don't hide it from Zigang." This jade seal is exactly what Ce's offered. ”
Zhang Hong, as a famous man in Guangling, will naturally not be a fool. As soon as he thought of the rumors from the outside world about Sun Jian's private swallowing of the jade seal, he immediately understood the reason for the matter. However, in the end, this matter involved the selfishness of the father-in-law's father, and Zhang Hong did not want to ask more. So he immediately jumped back to the topic of Yuan Shu being the emperor, "My lord, if Yuan Shu usurps the throne and becomes the emperor, it will be a great disapproval of the world." He will soon become Dong Zhuo's second and will be crusaded against by all the princes of the world. Therefore, Hong thought that the main public must no longer have anything to do with Yuan Shu. ”
"What does Zigang mean to break away from Yuan Shu? However, in the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Shu's countermeasures are gracious, and Ce is now his nominal general. If he deviated from Yuan Shu, or even confronted him with his blades, would he be considered to be Lu Bu and his ilk. Sun Ce frowned and asked.
"The lord is wrong in his words. It is the so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith. Although Yuan Shu is kind to the lord, but loyalty and filial piety come first, how can the lord forget the righteousness because of small kindness. Zhang Hongyi said sternly. Seeing Sun Ce raise his head and look at it intently, Zhang Hong hit the railway while it was hot, "If the lord cares about Yuan Shu's grace, you can repair a letter to Yuan Shu on this, and persuade him to stop the precipice, don't risk the world's disapproval and usurp the throne and become the emperor." If Yuan Shu listened to the lord's advice, it would be a different matter. But if Yuan Shu doesn't listen to the lord's words, then the lord has done his best to the Yuan family. ”
"The sub-program has a point. Bo Fu, the son of Wu Chenghou, is not a slave of Yuan Shu's family. Even if Yuan Shu and Ru are gracious, you have made countless achievements in the southern and northern wars over the years, and they should have been paid off a long time ago. The family revenge has not been avenged, and the national hatred has not been eliminated, how can Bo Fu destroy his future because of Xiao En. According to my uncle's opinion, the day Yuan Shu became emperor was the time when Bo Furu set up his own door," Sun Jing said bluntly to Sun Ce without hesitation.
And Sun Jing's words are undoubtedly much more straightforward than Zhang Hong's, and at the same time, they also enter Sun Ce's heart. To be honest, even if Yuan Shu didn't use his mother to coerce Sun Ce to hand over the jade seal before, Yuan Shu's repeated personality alone was enough to make Sun Ce give up. It turned out that when Sun Ce first took refuge in Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu promised Sun Ce to appoint him as the Taishou of Jiujiang, but soon after, he gave the position of Taishou of Jiujiang to Chen Ji, a native of Danyang. After that, Yuan Shu, also known as Sun Ce, went to attack Lujiang, and promised that after capturing Lujiang, the position of Taishou would belong to him. Sun Ce heard this, so he led his troops to attack and took Lujiang in one fell swoop. As a result, Yuan Shu actually reversed course again and appointed his old subordinate Liu Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang. With such a lack of faith in his words three times and twice, Sun Ce naturally no longer had any expectations for Yuan Shu. So he listened to the words of his father's old general, Danyang Wei Zhu Zhi, and on the grounds of helping his uncle Wu Jing conquer the Hengjiang River, he took his father's old department and the disciples recruited over the years to go south to Jiangdong to seek his own development.
Therefore, although Sun Ce is still nominally subordinate to Yuan Shu, he is already self-reliant in essence. It's just that there is still a lack of a reason to officially break away from Yuan Shu. So after listening to what Zhang Hong and Sun Jing said at this time, Sun Ce couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart that Yuan Shu would become emperor as soon as possible. Of course, according to Zhang Hong's plan, Sun Ce will still write a sincerely worded letter to persuade Yuan Shu after a while, as for how much sincerity the letter will be full of, it is only heaven.
In fact, it is far more than Sun Ce and his staff who can see Yuan Shu's disobedience at the moment. Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, also heard some rumors of Yuan Shu's vain attempt to ascend the throne and become emperor. Thinking that this side had just ushered in the banner of the Han Emperor, and that Yuan Shu was going to be the emperor and fight in the ring, Cao Cao was angry, but he didn't dare to slack off. After all, Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Yangzhou for many years, his soldiers are strong, and he is adjacent to Yuzhou, where Xu Du is located, so he cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, under the same moonlight, Cao Cao was also asking his chief staff officer Xun's uncle and nephew about what to do.
At this moment, after listening to Cao Cao's introduction to Yuan Shu's words and deeds during this period, Xun Yu, who had been appointed by the Han Emperor as Shang Shuling, did not panic at all, but calmly persuaded Cao Cao, "Don't worry, Yuan Shu is just a clown who jumps off the beam." His claim to be emperor is not only not a disaster for the lord, but a blessing from heaven. ”
"Why did Wen Ruo say that?" Cao Cao frowned and asked.
"The lord welcomed the Son of Heaven this time, and there are many princes in the world who are not satisfied, and there are many people who listen to the announcement and do not listen to the tune. However, if Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor at this time, he would become a public enemy of the Han Dynasty overnight. And the lord can justifiably follow the order of the Son of Heaven and lead the princes to crusade against Yuan Shu. There is such a precedent of worshiping the Son of Heaven to please the court, and which prince dares to ignore the court in the future? Ignoring the lord? Xun Yu analyzed to Cao Cao in an orderly manner.
And Cao Cao was so little bit by Xun Yu, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, "If it weren't for Wen Ruo's mention, it would be a bit of a lonely profit." Okay, let Yuan Shu jump away. The more brazenly he is to claim the emperor, the more he will lose the support of the people of Yangzhou, and then the lone leader will definitely be able to kill him personally when he goes south."
However, just when Cao Cao was ambitious, Xun Yu suddenly changed the conversation and solemnly reminded Cao Cao, "Lord Mingjian, Yangzhou Yuan is certainly not to worry. But the Yuan family in Jizhou had to be guarded against. The Son of Heaven appointed Yuan Shao as the captain this time, and there seemed to be a lot of secrecy on the Yecheng side. ”
Cao Cao heard Xun Yu mention the old Yuan Shao, and couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile. In fact, Xun Yu said that "there are many dissatisfactions", which is quite polite. According to the spies planted by Cao Cao in Yecheng, when Yuan Shao received the holy decree, he directly scolded his mother. And the object of Yuan Shao's scolding was not Liu Xie, who gave the order, but Cao Cao. It is said that Yuan Shao was furious in front of all the ministers at that time, and said, "Cao Cao should die, I will save him, and now I am coercing the Son of Heaven to make me care."
Regarding Yuan Shao's reaction, Cao Cao felt both aggrieved and uneasy. The grievance is that it was the Son of Heaven who appointed him Cao Cao as the general, and it was also the Son of Heaven who appointed Yuan Shao as the captain. It's not that he, Cao Cao, is so bored that he insists on overpowering Yuan Shao in terms of official rank when his strength is not good. Unsettlingly, Cao Cao was well aware of Yuan Shao's temper. This "friend" has always been unreasonable on the issue of face. It is estimated that Yuan Shao will not give up lightly this time.
In fact, if Cai Ji was present at this moment, she would definitely be surprised by the change in the trajectory of history. It must be known that in history, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty should have issued an edict to denounce Yuan Shao first, "There are many soldiers in the vast land, and he specializes in building a party, and he does not listen to the division of King Qin, but he is good at crusading against each other." After Yuan Shao wrote to blame himself, Liu Xie appointed him as a lieutenant. However, at this moment, it became Liu Xie's direct appointment of Yuan Shao as a lieutenant. The process of denunciation, omitted in the middle, does not seem to affect the outcome. But there is no doubt that Yuan Shao will be more jealous of Cao Cao than in history now, but he will not be disgusted with Liu Xie.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't know that history had shifted subtly in front of him. Right now, he was just thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shao's anger. Besides, Cao Cao's strength is too different from Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao is really a hot-headed person who goes south to grab the Son of Heaven, then he Cao Cao will probably have to be Yang Feng's second. Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately asked the uncle and nephew of the Xun family with a solemn expression, "According to the two of you, what should be done by Lonely."
In the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, Xun Yu did not answer this time, but turned back to the eldest nephew who had never spoken, and asked, "What did Gong Daru say?" ”
Xun Gongda, although Xun Yu is Xun Yu's nephew, his personality, appearance, and style are very different from Xun Yu everywhere. Xun Yu is good at repairing clothes, and Xun Yu is plainly dressed; Xun Yu is gentle and gentle like a gentleman, while Xun Yu is taciturn, ignorant and wise. However, although the styles of the two uncles and nephews are different, the resourcefulness of the two is equal. At this moment, Xun You saw that Xun Yu was pushed out, so he slowly bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Please ask the lord to give up the post of general." ”
If Xun You said this in front of Yuan Shao, he would inevitably be blinded by Yuan Shao. But Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao. Cao Cao knows how to make trade-offs and takes care of the overall situation. So at this moment, he nodded without saying a word, "Lone also has this intention." ”
Xun You saw that Cao Cao was not nostalgic for the general's false name at all, and his originally half-squinted eyes couldn't help but light up suddenly. It is undeniable that compared to Xun Yu, who has fought side by side with Cao Cao for many years, Xun Yu still had reservations about Cao Cao at the beginning. The reason why he came to Xudu was because Xu had the Han Emperor, and secondly because of Xun Yu's lobbying. But when it comes to whether he sincerely assists Cao Cao, Xun You feels that he still needs to personally test the ability of this lord. Therefore, after entering Cao's camp, most of them were observing Cao Cao, rather than giving advice to Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao's expression just now made Xun You quite amazed. So under the excitement, Xun You couldn't help but give Cao Cao an extra color head, and said, "In addition, please pay more attention to the Son of Heaven." ”
"Son of Heaven?" Cao Cao didn't expect Xun You to suddenly mention Liu Xie, the son of heaven who was only sixteen years old. But Cao Cao was also a resourceful man, and with a little mention, he could immediately think of the crux of the matter. No, the current tense relationship with Yuan Shao is all caused by Liu Xie's appointment. Thinking of this, Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, immediately turned his head to Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, apart from Yuan Shao, which other princes does the Son of Heaven have a connection with?" ”
At this time, Xun Yu glanced at Xun Yu meaningfully, and replied, "The Son of Heaven also issued an order to recruit Cai Anzhen, the Taishou of Donglai, to enter the Xu Capital. ”
"Cai Anzhen? Could it be her? She just had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan. Cao Cao muttered to himself. In Cao Cao's opinion, since Liu Xie intended to provoke him and Yuan Shao, he should have contact with the princes close to Yuan Shao. But Cai Ji had just rejected Yuan Tan in the west of Qingzhou and blocked Lu Bu in the south. With a clear eye, it can be seen that Cai Ji has a gap with Yuan Shao. Could it be that those battles in Qingzhou were fought for outsiders to see? If this is the case, Yuan Benchu's layout is too extravagant.
And just when Cao Cao was wondering, Xun You reminded him again, "Lord, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, and Cai Ji is Cai Ji." It's not the same. ”
"Gongda has a point. I want to come to the Son of Heaven to recruit Cai Anzhen into Beijing, Xu has another purpose. After Cao Cao nodded, he said with a little self-deprecation, "Humanity is that a companion is like a tiger." Lone almost mistakes the tiger cub for a cat. ”
Xiao Tianzi cried: Xun Lingjun, the father-in-law of the family is 75 I~~~75 I~~~
Xun Yu: Your Majesty Xià has to be obedient~~~ a good child~~~ to have a pink ticket~~~
Liu Ding: Even a good child, even ask for a pink ticket~~~
