Chapter 368: Love or Not
This is to cross the river and dismantle the bridge, properly unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Cheng Yuanzhi seems to have a lot of chips, and he gave Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and Cao Cao the official positions of the state pastor, and the existence of a big man on one side.
However, the state pastor in this troubled world is always not as good as the high position of the three princes in the court.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian knew that they were not qualified to negotiate with Cheng Yuanzhi, and if they dared to disagree, they would be written down by Cheng Yuanzhi's small book in his heart, and they would send troops to wipe out Cao Cao and Sun Jian when they turned around.
If you want to protest, you can only hope for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers and horses, and after the Yuan family, and the original official position is not low, there is Bohai Taishou, now Cheng Yuanzhi has killed Dong Zhuo, and in his place, at least he has to give everyone a position of three dukes, so as to reward a Situ, Sikong or Taifu or something.
Even if Yuan Shao rejected Cheng Yuanzhi's proposal and wanted to fight against Cheng Yuanzhi and come hard, it didn't matter, after all, it was useless for Cheng Yuanzhi to kill Yuan Shao, but it was cheap for Yuan Shu to take advantage of it, and it would also make Cheng Yuanzhi's reputation accumulated before Dong collapse.
"Cheng Sikong, Dong Zhuo has been ambushed, if today's son returns to the throne, for the people of the world to look forward to, although we dare not take credit, but many officials in the court have withered, Shao is not talented, I am willing to recommend myself to Sikong, I don't know if Sikong thinks Shao can be qualified for the position of Taifu?"
Anyway, it is to sit on the ground and share the spoils, bargaining, Yuan Shao first reported his ideal official position to Cheng Yuanzhi, if it is not appropriate, then the state pastor is guaranteed.
Yuan Shao very much hopes to get the official position of the third duke, so that the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes will be carried forward in the hands of Yuan Shao and become the fourth and fourth dukes.
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cheng Yuanzhi's face instantly darkened, and he took out the horsewhip on his waist with one hand, his heart was full of anger, and he was about to raise the whip to whip Yuan Shao, a thief who didn't know what to do.
How can you, Yuan Shao, how can you ask for a third duke? Didn't Sun Jian, who fought until the soldiers and horses were almost completely gone, also have to reward a third duke and assassinate Cao Cao who killed Dong Zhuo?
This is clearly trying to smash the field.
"The original talent is rare in the world, even if it is a highway, I am afraid it is not as good as the original style. However, the position of these three public officials is not appropriate for the time being. If the position of the three princes is granted to Ben Chu, it is meaningless, I am afraid that Ben Sikong will have no official reward and become a high meritorious, and I hope that Ben Chu can understand this Sikong. These three public positions, don't mention it again, when I first arrived in Jizhou, I became the pastor of Jizhou, sitting on one side, and I can also benefit the people, and I will be an official in the same dynasty as this Sikong, and I will serve the Son of Heaven. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi rejected Yuan Shao in a few words, and put a high hat on Yuan Shao, in fact, if it weren't for the different camps and different positions with Yuan Shao, Cheng Yuanzhi was really optimistic about Yuan Shao, better than Yuan Shu.
However, the official position cannot be given indiscriminately, once the official position is given indiscriminately, it is the same as the previous Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong selling officials to collect money, and people with and without talent can climb to a high position, which is not a good phenomenon.
Sure enough, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look unhappy, he didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to talk about it lightly, and without waiting for Yuan Shao to say more, he directly brought the negotiation table.
The position of state pastor, if you want to love it, if you don't want it, Cheng Yuanzhi can save a place.
In this way, Shao is grateful to Cheng Sikong. Cheng Sikong, Jizhou is very far away from the capital Luoyang, and it is a great chaos, the people are not happy, Shao as a pastor of Jizhou should take office soon and be the master of the people, so he went to Jizhou overnight, and hereby said goodbye to Sikong. ”
Yuan Shao has already made up his mind, it doesn't matter if this Jizhou Mu wants to be a pastor, anyway, with the reputation of Dong, plus Yuan's identity, it is enough for Yuan Shao to make waves in Jizhou.
It's nothing more than killing Dong Zhuo and continuing to crusade against Cheng Yuanzhi, and changing Dong to Cheng Yuanzhi, what a big deal.
Yuan Shao even thought about it, and as soon as he left the capital Luoyang, he immediately followed Cheng Yuanzhi's previous example to ask for Dong, passed a message to all states and counties in the world, and summoned all the candidates to crusade against Cheng Yuanzhi.
With Cheng Yuanzhi's troops, less than 100,000, and most of them are still infantry, less than half of Dong Zhuo's heyday, Yuan Shao is confident that if he gathers all the candidates, the crusade against Cheng Yuanzhi will be smoother.
Cheng Yuanzhi knew that Yuan Shao only got the state pastor, and he must not be angry in his heart, and he was angry, this capital Luoyang must not stay for long, and if Yuan Shao is released from Luoyang, Yuan Shao will instantly turn against the front and change from the camp of Dong to the camp of Cheng.
However, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't care, leaving Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Jian in Luoyang, that was a huge trouble.
can't be killed, it has to be prevented from Yuan Shao and others from making small moves in secret, it is better to let Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Jian go back to their respective territories, and if they really want to go against Cheng Yuanzhi, then it's okay, just show the carriages and horses, and fight each other for a wave.
"At the beginning, Ben Sikong didn't misunderstand you, you really have all the people in mind and have a strategy. That's it, this Sikong is not forced to stay at the beginning, you are like an arrow at the beginning, this Sikong no longer knows how to be a man, and it is a little unkind, and the twisted melon is not sweet. That's good, Ben Sikong asked Fengxiao to go to the palace to give out some grain and grass, as a practice for Benchu. I also hope that when I arrived in Jizhou, I will perform my duties well and work for the benefit of the people. ”
If you want to go, you will naturally not stay.
Cheng Yuanzhi followed Yuan Shao's words and directly drove Yuan Shao out of the capital Luoyang, saving more disputes.
Yuan Shao's face sank like water, and he clenched his fists towards Cheng Yuanzhi, then flicked his cloak and left angrily.
"Thank you Cheng Sikong, it is Cao's duty to kill such chaotic ministers and thieves as Dong Zhuo. Now he has to be weighted, and he is rewarded as a state pastor, and he is grateful. Cao had to make it clear, although Dong Zhuo had been ambushed, but the war had not yet been quelled in all parts of the Han Dynasty, and there were even more soldiers in the Yellow Turban who were in rebellion, harming the people and the county, Cao Te asked Sikong for his resignation, and Cao set off to return to Yuzhou on the same day to calm down the war, resume the people's work as soon as possible, and recuperate, and hope that Sikong can agree. ”
Cao Cao picked up the seven-star knife that assassinated Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and now he got the Yuzhou Governor from Cheng Yuanzhi's hands, Cao Cao is already very satisfied.
You have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and the fat man doesn't get fat in a day.
Although Cao Cao, like Yuan Shao, has the heart to overthrow Yuan Shao and strengthen himself, Cao Cao is stronger than Yuan Shao in forbearance, and will not be like Yuan Shao, who will show his joy and anger on his face, so that Cheng Yuanzhi can see what he thinks at a glance.
With Yuan Shao taking the lead and leaving the capital Luoyang, Cao Cao can be regarded as testing Cheng Yuanzhi's bottom line, as long as he does not stay in Luoyang to compete with Cheng Yuanzhi for the results, then Cheng Yuanzhi's reward will fall into Cao Cao's hands without compromise, and there is a state of land, which is enough for Cao Cao to start from scratch.
