Chapter 654: A Hidden Card
Early the next morning, the potters began to arrange the arrangement, wrote orders to be sent to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and properly arranged the matters after the expedition.
Yuan's tree has deep roots, and this expedition to Hebei, the pottery merchant is estimated to be the longest battle in his life, so he must arrange all the things in the rear.
100,000 elite royal divisions, by the prime minister Tao Shang on the orders of the Son of Heaven, the Northern Expedition rebel Yuan Shao, the rest of the soldiers and horses - Xuzhou left 70,000 troops, Yangzhou left 80,000 troops scattered everywhere to defend the danger.
Tao Ying, Chen Deng, Lu Dai, He Qi, Quan Rou, Xian Yudan, Song Qian, Jia Hua, Hua Yan and others guarded Nanchang and protected the Han Jingshi.
Han Hao, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Sima Lang still managed Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other important places for the pottery merchants, while Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Xu Zhong and others, as well as the Jinling naval army, all stayed in Yangzhou to guard against the Sanliu Group in the west.
The Pengcheng potters were handed over to Lu Su to be in charge, and Tao Ji, Xu Rong, Zhang Xun and others would stay behind to assist him.
In the past, a group of Xuzhou generals led by Cao Bao had always been only responsible for guarding Pengcheng, but this time they all went out.
The rest of the things are easy to say, but on the side of Pengcheng, the generals of Xuzhou were replaced to go on the expedition, and the generals who were left to surrender in recent years were left to guard, which caused a storm in the circle of scholars in Xuzhou.
After learning the news, Lu You, the veteran general of the Xuzhou army, ran to Cao Bao at that time and asked him about it.
The old generals of the Xuzhou army have been responsible for guarding Pengcheng and the city defense work in the territory for many years, and now the potters have suddenly replaced them with Lu Su, Xu Rong and others, and everyone does not understand what the potters are thinking, so they sent Lu You as a representative to ask Cao Bao for an idea, and asked him to say a favor to the potters, don't let the generals of the Xuzhou army go on the expedition, after all, they have not been out for many years, and their hands are very good.
Cao Bao just smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, and gave up after a perfunctory two sentences from Lu You.
But on the second day, Cao Bao issued an order to demote Lu Youlian to two levels of military rank and stay in the army to be used.
After getting the news, the generals of the Xuzhou Army no longer dared to be foolish, but just obediently and waited for dispatch.
After learning of Cao Bao's actions, the potter secretly praised Cao Bao in his heart for being sensible.
He has wanted to divide the influence of the Xuzhou Shi clan in the military for a long time, but he has never found a good opportunity.
Now that the imperial court is newly established, Chen Deng was enshrined as Shangshu Ling, because of this official position, Chen Deng must stay in Nanchang City to take care of the government and politics, and he can't be in the land of Xuzhou.
As the leader of the Xuzhou Shi clan, Chen Deng is not there, and the Xuzhou Shi clan is a plate of scattered sand, leaving the pottery merchants to do it.
Even Cao Bao, even Mi Zhu, didn't dare to say anything in the face of the potter's practice.
Even Yuan Shao, the leader of the world's number one scholar clan, and the pottery merchant don't pay attention to it now, and it is not good for him to play tricks with him at this juncture.
In particular, it is not a trivial matter to crusade against Yuan Shao, the leader of the Shi clan, many Xuzhou Shi clans have actually had a relationship with Yuan Shao, and the pottery merchant knows it in his heart, but he just turns a blind eye.
But now the situation is different, the Northern Expedition Yuan Shao can not afford to lose, all the unstable factors, the potters must be completely removed, leaving a clean rear.
……
A few days after this incident happened in Pengcheng, Yuan Wan came to visit the pottery merchant.
"Miss Yuan, what's wrong?" At this moment, the potter was reading the grain and grass transportation documents submitted by the county to calculate the grain and grass needed to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
Although the potter is very busy now, when he heard that Yuan Wan was coming, he still met her in person.
After Yuan Wan sat down, she said to Tao Shang: "The prime minister asked me and Aunt Feng to enter the prime minister's mansion, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as letting us watch the children, right?" ”
This girl is not reserved at all, and she asks so directly.
Tao Shang raised his hand with an oath: "Tao swears with my personality that I definitely don't think anything wrong about you and Mrs. Feng!" ”
When Yuan Wan heard this, she pouted angrily.
"Who told you about this...... I have a bad stomach and think about everything, and I'm talking about something else. ”
The potter raised his eyebrows, and secretly praised this girl in his heart for being really smart.
"Then Miss Yuan, tell me, what is Tao's plan for you to come to you this time?"
Yuan Wan said softly: "If the little woman's expectations are good, the person who the prime minister is plotting is not my aunt, but the little woman." ”
The potter almost stopped laughing.
"Although you are beautiful, in terms of maturity, I personally think that your aunt's charm should be above that of Miss."
Yuan Wan wanted to hit him angrily.
"Who said that...... You're pondering those crooked places again......"
Yuan Wan paused, and then said: "If the prime minister allows, this Northern Expedition, the little girl is willing to go to Hebei with the same Cheng." ”
The potter frowned.
"The three armies are fighting, and you don't have the means like Lu Lingqi and Xu Hanniang, what are you doing with the three armies? Isn't it a burden? ”
Yuan Wan smiled faintly: "The prime minister said so...... Isn't that what I thought in my heart? ”
The potter was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said, "You guessed right, I thought so, but I gave up later, it was too inhumane and meaningless." ”
Yuan Wan bowed slightly to the potter, and said, "Thank you Prime Minister for being so considerate of the little woman, but this matter was voluntary by the little woman, not the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister does not need to blame himself." ”
The potter glanced at Yuan Wan deeply.
Yuan Wan's trip to Hebei, to a certain extent, has a certain role and significance.
What's the point? Attacking Yuan Shao's forces, in the huge background of his world's first gatekeeper, find a trace of the meaning of a crack.
The gold signboard of the fourth and third princes can almost attract the support of most of the scholars in the world, and the resources are continuous, and the potters can fight against Yuan Shao Xiangting from a political point of view, relying on the reputation of supporting the new emperor and supporting the government as prime minister, but it is not enough to defeat the Yuan group head-on.
The only way to make a fuss about Yuan Shao's killing of Liu Xie is to make a fuss.
But although the matter was spread, there was no real evidence after all, and the miscellaneous witnesses found by the potters according to Guo Jia's words were not enough to promote this matter, because their weight was not enough.
But Yuan Wan is the same disciple of Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, and at the same time, he is the only bloodline heir after Yuan Shu's death......
It must be known that Yuan Shu in this era did not claim the title of emperor, and his descendants are morally qualified to criticize Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are out of the same class, and his descendants will correct Yuan Shao, and they will definitely give Yuan Shao a fierce knife in the back, making Yuan Shao unable to guard against it.
Although the potter had also thought about this, Yuan Shao was Yuan Wan's uncle after all, and it was too much to force others to do such a thing, what is the difference between this and forcing Liang to become a prostitute? So the potter finally decided to give up.
But I didn't expect Yuan Wan to think of this layer, and she would take the initiative to come over to help the potter.
The expedition of Hebei, if it takes her, will have a certain targeted effect on the Yuan family, but the potter does not want to force her.
"Miss Yuan, if you want to repay Tao in this way, then you don't have to, Tao has always been a gentleman, and he will never force others to do this kind of torture of himself."
Yuan Wan shook her head lightly and said, "The prime minister misunderstood, I did this not for others, nor to repay the prime minister, but for justice, and for my father......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Wan looked up at the potter, her eyes were like water, and the heart of the potter moved.
"Prime Minister, the death of the first emperor has something to do with my uncle, right?"
The potter nodded and said, "Although there is no substantial evidence, the only person who has the motivation and ability to command King Wuhuan is indeed your uncle Yuan Shao." ”
Yuan Wan nodded and said, "That's good, since you didn't wronged him, the little woman will fight with her uncle on behalf of her father." ”
Speaking of this, Yuan Wan showed a sad expression: "My father has been pressed on his head by his uncle for more than ten years, and he has never crossed the hurdle of his uncle until his death...... Although it is also his personal knot, it is reasonable for a child to make an unfulfilled wish for his deceased father. ”
The potter chief sighed and said, "Girls, sometimes it's too smart, it's not a good thing, it's too tiring to live." ”
Yuan Wan smiled bitterly: "It's okay to be tired, the problem is that no one wants to share the burden with the little girl......"
The potter smiled when he heard this.
This girl is quite good at knocking on the side.
……
A few days later, written by You Heng, another edict accusing Yuan Shao of plotting to murder the first emperor was once again published to all the states and counties in the world.
In addition to the big seal of the jade seal of the emperor of the new dynasty and the testimony of the pottery merchant and others, Yuan Wan also made a joint accusation.
Yuan Shu's only descendant came forward to accuse his uncle of betraying the imperial court, which caused an uproar among the world's corporans.
Things are a little different from the previous ones!
After Yuan Shao knew about this, he trembled with anger, and stood in the moonlight that night, scolding the potter and Yuan Wan, the dog man and woman...... Even Yuan Wan's dead father Yuan Shu did not fall, and bombarded the eighteen generations of their ancestors one by one.
But Yuan Shao was angry, but he forgot one thing.
He scolded Yuan Wan and Yuan Shu's ancestors quite angrily, but according to the facts, Yuan Shao and the ancestors of their father and daughter are all in the same configuration.
At the same time, the spies from Hebei sent back the news to Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao and the potters had already regrouped their armies and began to march to Hebei!
