Chapter 313: Yuan Shaosi Plain
After worshipping, Cao Cao said, "If you want to contact the princes around the country to raise troops, it is necessary to have a reputation resounding all over the world as the head, I see that the officials in the world, all from the Yuan and Yang clans, the Yang family is still in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the Yuan clan have arrived in Kanto, I am ready to write to the two of them, let the two of them take the lead, and call on the world's heroes to raise troops to fight Dong, if any of these two people are willing to come out, the big thing can be decided!" ”
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao brothers have played since they were children, and they know this pair of brothers too well, Dong Zhuo feels that as long as the head of the Yuan family, Taifu Yuan Kui, has it in hand, there is no need to worry about the Yuan family.
But Cao Cao knew that it was because Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and others were in Luoyang that the two brothers Yuan Shao would have the desire to raise troops.
After all, only in this way could the two brothers inherit the huge political legacy of the Yuan family, the first scholar clan in the world.
- Bohai County
After Yuan Shao was named the Taishou of Bohai by Dong Zhuo, he did not dislike it and immediately went to Bohai to take office.
After arriving in Bohai, he used his previous connections to recruit troops and horses everywhere and recruit famous generals.
Soon, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Ran each brought troops and horses to vote.
There are also Xun Chen, Xu You, Feng Ji and other celebrities as their masterminds.
Bohai County is no less than a large county in the plain country, with a population of more than one million, plus Bohai is between Youzhou and Qingzhou, because of Ma Qiang's development of trade routes in recent years, it is quite wealthy, and there are a lot of iron reserves, Yuan Shao recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses in a blink of an eye, and practiced day and night.
"Ming Gong, I heard that Cao Apu sent a letter?" Xu You took a folding fan and walked in leisurely.
Since Ma Qiang's folding fan was spread, this extremely elegant thing has become a favorite of literati, no matter who it is, if there is no fan in his hand, he must be looked down upon.
"It's Ziyuan, Apu also escaped from Luoyang and returned to Yanzhou County, Yanzhou Mu Huangwan learned that he let his subordinate Huan Shao lead the troops to encircle and suppress, poor Apu, was killed thousands of people, Qin Shao, who had drunk with us in the past, was also killed by an arrow.
It was also his fate, Dong Zhuo suddenly summoned Huang Wan to Luoyang as Situ, otherwise what we received now would be the news of his death. ”
Xu You smiled, he had always looked down on Cao Cao, he sat down opposite Yuan Shao and said, "Cao Apu is also thirty and five, but he is so unrecognizable, Huang Wan has been quite complaining about him in the past, and now that he has the opportunity, how can he let it go?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Yes, he has now defected to Chen Liuzhang Miao, he wrote to me, hoping that I can raise the banner of rebellion, contact the princes of the world, and fight Dong Zhuo and Ziyuan together, what do you think?" ”
Xu You shook his head and said, "No, Taifu is still in Luoyang, if Ming Gong gets into trouble, it will be very unfilial!" ”
Yuan Shao thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true, but you can't watch Dong Zhuo grow bigger day by day, right?" ”
Xu You rolled his eyes and said, "Since Cao Cao is at Zhang Miao's place, I want to come to Zhang Miao and also think of soldiers, Zhang Miao has a brother Zhang Chao, who is Guangling Taishou, and Guangling has a hero, named Zang Hong."
I know this person very well, his personality is extremely strong, as long as he writes to tease, he will definitely speak out against Dong.
Coupled with Cao Cao's saying Zhang Miao, the general trend of the world can be stirred! ”
Xu You's strategy of this big pattern is very much in line with Yuan Shao's appetite, and Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Okay, just do it." ”
Xu You touched his beard proudly, and then said, "At this moment, there is a matter that needs to be decided. ”
"Ming Gong, Xun and Feng ask to see each other."
Xu You couldn't help frowning, and Yuan Shao said, "Let them in." ”
Xun Chen, the word friend, Yingchuan people, is Xun Yu's brother.
Feng Ji, character diagram, Nanyang people.
These two and Yuan Shao were both He Jin's subordinates in the past, so they had a close relationship.
"Ming Gong, oh, Ziyuan is also here, but I don't know if what Ziyuan wants to say is consistent with what the two of us think." Feng Ji smiled.
"What the hell happened to bring the three of you here?"
The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Plains! ”
"Plains? Ma Qiang? ”
Xu You was afraid that the two would steal the limelight from him, so he took the lead and said, "Ma Qiang, the prime minister of the Plains Country, has a humble background, and is good at the art of business, so he is valued by the first emperor."
At the end of last year, Ma Qiang borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from the imperial court with usury, and more than 80,000 yuan has not been repaid so far.
He is so not satisfied, he actually took the people's fields without permission, and the plains are now like accumulating wages, and the people's grievances have long been boiling!
Now the Gao clan of another county can't bear the humiliation and has fled to my Bohai, Ming Gong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
"Good chance?"
"Yes, Dong Zhuo was dismissed from office because of Ma Qiang in the past, he hated Ma Qiang deeply in his heart, Ming Gong can take advantage of this, and ask Dong Zhuo to remove Ma Qiang, replace Ming Gong's relatives and friends as the minister of state, and the plain country can be owned by Ming Gong.
With Taifu in the court, Dong Zhuo must be willing to do this favor. ”
Yuan Shao couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
"If Ma Qiang refuses to accept the edict, the Duke of Ming can also borrow the hand of the imperial court to divide the county in the name of the Gao family!"
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that there might be 80,000 yuan of money and grain hoarded there in the Plains Country, he finally said, "Okay, let's do it!" ”
- Plains
"Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu?"
Ma Qiang put down the latest information from all over the country and said, "It seems that the troops from all over the country will start at the beginning of next year." ”
As he spoke, Ma Qiang looked at the map and said, "By the way, where is the Gao clan in Banxian County?" ”
The Gao family is the largest wealthy family in the Plains Country except for the Hua family, and the Gao family is a real family of poetry and books.
In fact, it is not so much a poetry and book heirloom as a book heirloom, that is, to study and become an official, and then buy land and swallow fields, and then use these fields to support the children who only need to study, and so on.
"I have arrived in Bohai County, Yuan Shao should have gotten the news."
"Our Plains Country has always been a big deal, and I'm worried that Yuan Shao will meet Qian Yan... Let Guo Jin be careful. ”
Ma Qiang remembered that Cao Cao's evaluation of Yuan Shao had a sentence that he forgot his life when he saw small profits, and he did big things and cherished his life.
Ma Qiang did not wait for the news of Yuan Shao's attack, but instead waited for Dong Zhuo's edict to recruit him into Luo as a general of conquest, and with the edict came Yang Pei, a famous man who succeeded him.
Ma Qiang looked at the edict, as if he saw the scene where Dong Fatzi swore to the sky in front of him that he would recognize himself as his godson.
Ahh I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man!
"Yang Kongqu, do you think I should accept this edict or not?" Ma Qiang took the edict and asked Yang Peidao with a smile.
Yang Pei took a breath and said, "This is an edict of the imperial court, so naturally you should accept it!" ”
"Where is the court?"
"Luoyang Imperial Court!"
"Is there a son of heaven in the court?"
"I have my own son of heaven!"
"If there is a Son of Heaven, why do I only hear about Master Dong and not the Son of Heaven?"
Ma Qiang directly threw the edict to the ground, and said to the sergeant who escorted Yang Peilai, "Go and tell Dong Zhuo that if you want to take the plain, let him get it himself!" Yang Pei is a celebrity, and I am short of manpower here, so I don't have to go back! ”
Saying that, Ma Qiang said to Huang Xu on the side, "Send off guests!" ”
Yang Pei looked at the arrogant Ma Qiang in a daze, only feeling as if he had just left the tiger's den, why did he arrive at the wolf's den again.
"Recently, my plain country has not been peaceful, you go and become a post supervisor to exercise." Ma Qiang waved his hand and sent this so-called celebrity away, and then got up and went to the factory to check the newly built ordnance equipment.
