Chapter 4 Northbound

As soon as the words fell, all the scholars couldn't help but follow the prestige.

Looking at the jade-like eight-foot body, the young scholars worshipped in unison: "Yuan Gongzi." ”

"No courtesy."

Hearing this, Yuan Yao waved his hand to stop, and then once again turned his gaze to the young scholar who had spoken loudly before, and then arched his hand and said: "Mr.'s opinion coincides with Yao, I don't know who Mr.'s surname is, and who is who?" ”

At this time, Yuan Yao had already seen that the person in front of him was extraordinary.

He can accurately see that Nanyang is not the foundation of success at the moment, and he can also point out that he is far away from the Central Plains, so as to fully base Yangzhou to support the people, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to invade the Central Plains in the north.

This opening of vision alone is not ordinary.

Just think, in this era, how many people can choose to go to remote places when they are expected to directly seize the Central Plains and dominate?

"Qi Yuan Gongzi, the contemptible surname Cui Mingjun, the word Zhouping, the ancestral home of Boling Anping, and the father was Cui Lie, the Taiwei."

"Cui Zhouping?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yao suddenly felt happy, and immediately began to think about how to recruit him.

He had come to the city to look around the liquor store to see if there was a hidden talent in the market, but he really didn't have much hope.

After all, although the land of Jingxiang is said to be outstanding, it is still early, and most of the talented scholars are still in Yingchuan and Yanzhou, Yuzhou.

The reason why the talents in Jingxiang flourished later was also due to the fact that the Central Plains were competing for deer and the wars for many years caused many scholars to go south to Jingzhou, which was relatively peaceful, for refuge.

But he didn't expect to meet a talent like Cui Zhouping in Nanyang.

This is recorded in the history books, and Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are friends of the characters, if he really doesn't have a little knowledge, how can he make friends with the two people who have the talent of the world?

Hearing this, Yuan Yaoqiang endured the throbbing in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yao heard that Mr. Wen had assisted my uncle in recruiting all the princes to form an alliance as the commander of Xihe County in the battle against Dong, why did he arrive in Nanyang now?" ”

"Huh." After hearing this, Cui Zhouping laughed twice, but because of the relationship between Yuan Yao and Yuan Shao, he said meaningfully: "This matter is all in the past, don't mention it!" ”

Although it is said that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's brothers are fighting against each other for the world, who knows the actual situation, in response to this, how could Cui Zhouping tell the inside story of his wandering in Nanyang in front of Yuan Yao?

Seeing the change in Cui Zhouping's expression, Yuan Yao had already guessed in his heart, thought about it, couldn't help but show a sincere face, and said sincerely: "Sir, can you go to the military camp outside the city with Yao?" ”

"Please see, how can you not obey?"

Originally, Yuan Yao thought that Cui Zhouping would refuse if he threw an olive branch, but he didn't expect him to accept it directly.

Subsequently, he had a conversation with the rest of the scholars, seeing that Yuan Yao's conversation was extraordinary and his vision was good, everyone had a great change in his previous image, but a trace of good feeling gradually rose in his heart.

But good feelings are good feelings, when Yuan Yao knocked on the side of the solicitation, everyone politely refused on the grounds of people in the countryside, idle clouds and wild cranes, etc.

Along the way, Yuan Yao had a very happy conversation with Cui Zhouping on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was secretly groaning in his heart: "I remember that Cui Zhouping's vision in history was also extremely deep, and even Liu Bei, whose name of benevolence and righteousness spread all over the world, didn't even consider that he would accept the olive branch I threw so easily, what is the situation?" ”

"Is it because Dong Zhuo moved west, he was afraid of reprisals, so he abandoned his official position and fled, and was forced to wander in Nanyang and blended into the people, ready to serve his father and restart his career?"

"That's why you are so decisive in the face of my request now?"

For a while, Yuan Yao faintly made a guess in his heart.

And such speculation is indeed well-founded, and Cui Zhouping's Xihe Taishou is a stone's throw away from Guanzhong.

The two walked side by side and talked to the barracks, while Yuan Jiao followed closely with his horses, silently guarding their safety.

Arrived at the barracks, just when the two were chatting happily, the outside world suddenly changed.

Native mutation!

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army revived, and a Yellow Turban general named Guan Hai once again gathered more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans to attack the prefectures and counties, and invaded Renchengguo, Jibei County and other counties in Yanzhou to the east, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was also killed by Guan Hai with an arrow in the chaotic army because he led the people to resist the Yellow Turbans.

For a time, the yellow turbans in the hinterland of the Central Plains were rampant and fell into chaos, and the officials and wealthy families in various states and counties were afraid, and they united to strengthen the city defense or Wu Fort to protect themselves.

Three days later.

After this military information was secretly transmitted back with the scouts of the Yuan army hidden in the counties of Zhongyuan Prefecture, Yuan Shu was immediately overjoyed when he saw it.

He immediately felt that the time had come to go north to the Central Plains.

In the mansion.

Yuan Shu was dressed in a gorgeous brocade costume and lived at the palatial desk, with a futon under his buttocks, and the generals and staff members on both sides were holding a case, bowing their heads and listening.

After a long time, Yuan Yin first arched his hand and said: "Brother, you summoned us so much, is it because the situation in the world has changed?" ”

That's it.

The joy on Yuan Shu's face also lingered, and he replied after a while: "Jun Ge's words are very true! ”

Then, he said to everyone: "According to the military information transmitted back by the hidden details of our army scattered in the counties and counties of the Central Plains, a few days ago, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves suddenly revived, and more than a million people attacked and killed the minister of Rencheng and invaded the counties of Yanzhou. ”

"Now with the death of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, the Central Plains is in chaos, the states and counties are strong, and the people are also in a panic.

The more Yuan Shu spoke, the more excited he became.

Zhongyuan was originally the richest state and county in the world, and it was also the most prominent area of the Yuan family's power.

Yuan Shu firmly believed that once he raised troops to the north of the Central Plains, the wealthy clans and the people would inevitably respond in droves and lead the crowd to vote.

After a few words, Yan Xiang, an old man in his fifties in the hall, thought for a moment, his face was anxious, and he hurriedly admonished: "The lord can't, please listen to the old man's words, our army was defeated by Xiangyang Liu Biao at the beginning and also lost the general Sun Wentai, and now the army is already unstable, the morale of the army is low, and the morale of the soldiers is sluggish. ”

"And the old man looks at the East County too shou Cao Mengde's non-fuel-efficient lamp, he will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and will definitely gather his troops to expel the Yellow Turban into Yanzhou and take advantage of the situation to rise."

"If our army marches north into the center, the principle will inevitably compete with it, but this person is extremely capable, and behind him is the support of the subordinate brother who does not agree with the lord, so he should not be underestimated!"

"Why?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Shu's face was already displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "Then Cao Aman is only a eunuch, and he is only worthy of being a slave of my Yuan family, how can he be compared with this general, and how can everyone in the world respond to him?" ”

"Do you want to dissuade the general from sending troops and watch this God-given opportunity be lost?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Shu already looked serious and angry.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang was shocked, but he had to persuade him: "Lord, this is not what Xiang meant......

"What do you mean?"

At this moment, Yuan Shu was already aggressive, with a look of indignation on his face, and shouted.
