Chapter 609: People's hearts are back

Sun Ce heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and saw Guo Jia's prudence from Guo Jia's seemingly disapproving attitude. If he didn't think that Xun Yu had the possibility of success, how could Guo Jia think about the decisive battle in five or ten years. He was certainly not worried, but excited. Although he didn't make an appointment with Xun Yu like Zhang Hong, he had long regarded Xun Yu as his strongest opponent in his heart. The stronger Xun Yu is, the more excited he is.

But Sun Ce couldn't turn this matter into a battle of emotions between two people, he needed to listen to more people's opinions. He waved his hand and asked people to invite Zhang Hong. While waiting for Zhang Hong, he himself thought about it carefully. The strategist could only provide advice, and finally decided that he would do it himself, Xun Yu's change of law was not trivial, it was one of the changes brought about by him as a traverser, and the impact might even exceed Yuan Shu's death.

He felt that just as he underestimated Xu Yue's IQ, he might also have underestimated Xun Yu's intelligence. It is true that Xun Yu is a scholar, but he is not a pedantic scholar. Just because he has principles doesn't mean he doesn't know how to be flexible. On the contrary, he is well aware of the importance of contingency, and he is not afraid to make any changes as long as it does not touch his bottom line.

The news sent by Zhong Yu is very simple and not comprehensive, and some measures are still in Xun Yu's mind. But at present, these few articles have seen Xun Yu's execution. The reburial of the Son of Heaven's biological mother, Wang Meiren, posthumously presented to the queen, and the burial of Wenling, which was obviously aimed at Yuan Shao saying that the Son of Heaven was not the blood of the first emperor. Looking for Wang Meiren's family to enter the court as officials, it is also for this purpose, Wang Meiren is a native of Zhao State, Xun Yu probably inquired clearly when he was in Yecheng, otherwise he would not have issued an edict so soon.

A more subtle hand is to recall Tang Ji, the wife of King Hongnong, which is not only to prove the bloodline of the Son of Heaven with the identity of the young emperor's surviving person, but also to add a helper to Xun Yu himself in the palace. Tang Ji is Xun Yu's maternal relative, and with Tang Ji's help, Xun Yu can not only control the inner court, but also influence the harem of the Son of Heaven. Tang Ji is probably one of the most familiar people to the Son of Heaven at the moment, for the twelve or thirteen-year-old Son of Heaven, the eighteen or nineteen-year-old Tang Ji is like a mother and a sister, and her influence is by no means comparable to others.

Every one of them hit the nail on the head, seemingly careless, but with far-reaching intentions, it is enough to imagine that Xun Yu is by no means an easy move, he must have been planning for a long time, but he has not made a move until now. As soon as he made a move, he set aside Wang Yun and cut off Yuan Shao's help in the court, cleanly.

Yuan Shao was about to jump when he heard the news, right? When Wang Yun was in power, he didn't take it seriously, and when Wang Yun lost his power, he could appreciate Wang Yun's importance. When Xun Yu was in Yecheng, he didn't take Xun Yu seriously, and now that Xun Yu has arrived in Chang'an, he finally saw Xun Yu's methods.

It's a pity that everything was late.

How will Yuan Shao react? Will he swallow his anger or fight back?

Just when Sun Ce was secretly analyzing the possible development of the future situation, Zhang Hong rushed over, and after reading the briefing, he sighed: "Xun Yu made an extraordinary move, he basically thought of everything I could think of." ”

"What does the gentleman think?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhang Hong smiled, and was about to get the map, but Lu Yi had already taken the first step to get it, spread out the case in front of Zhang Hong, and then sat next to Zhang Hong logically, holding his cheeks, and looking at Zhang Hong intently. Not to be outdone, Sun Quan sat on the other side of Zhang Hong, like two Dharma Protector King Kongs, seizing the advantageous terrain.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and laughed secretly. At this time, although Lu Yi abides by etiquette, he does not need to be afraid of anyone. He probably won't have to change his name as he did in history, let alone be called a tortoise.

"Strategists are the same as chess players playing chess, there are no certain rules for seeing moves and dismantling moves. The reason why the national player is a national player is simply because he sees far, thinks more, and solves the problem more ingeniously. There are many problems faced by the imperial court, and in general, there are three main ones: first, the bloodline of the Son of Heaven is unknown, and the moral height of the imperial court is insufficient; second, Wang Yun and other party members pinned their hopes on Yuan Shao and had no heart to defend the imperial court; The third is that Guanzhong has insufficient money and food, insufficient troops, and cannot defend itself, while the Xiliang people are on the side and may be attacked at any time. As long as Xun Yu solves these three problems, he can stabilize Guanzhong and be more than self-sufficient. ”

Zhang Hong said in detail, not entirely for Sun Ce, but for Sun Quan and Lu Xun, as well as Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and other teenagers. Sun Ce has the intention of keeping these people by his side, and it is possible that they will defend one side in the future, if they don't have enough overall vision, they can't afford to bear such a heavy responsibility. In the future, he will be a lieutenant or a lieutenant, leading one battalion and two battalions, and fighting in battle.

"Feng Xiao is right, Xun Yu is suspected of stealing Nanyang, if my guess is right, he is likely to establish institutions like Jiangwutang and Mu Xuetang, especially Mu Xuetang, to take precautions to prevent him from poaching craftsmen with good skills. There are many people in Wancheng Wood School who are from Guanzhong, and if they have the opportunity to return to their hometowns, they will definitely not refuse. Anyway, after all, the Son of Heaven is the official of the imperial court, and now he is set to be the capital of Guanzhong, and the people of Guanzhong will definitely welcome it. General, some of your hard work is going down the drain. ”

Sun Ce smacked his lips helplessly. The reason why the people of Guanzhong fled to Nanyang was because Guanzhong was in chaos and could not survive. Now that Guanzhong is stable and has become a Jingshi again, anyone who has some ability can go back and be an official for the Son of Heaven. He spent so much effort and paid so much price, but he couldn't stop them from returning to their hometown.

This is the power of morality. Xun Yu's move is unstoppable, just like Cao Cao embraced the Son of Heaven Yu Xu, and the people of the world returned to the sea like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, and Cao Cao suddenly had countless talents, and his strength soared.

"But the general doesn't have to worry. The father and son of the general are also officially appointed officials of the imperial court, and there is no essential difference between serving the general and serving the imperial court. The most affected is Yuan Shao, who has always refused to recognize the Son of Heaven, if he suddenly changes his course, it is equivalent to admitting that what he did before is illegal, not only the power to accept the worship may be lost, but even the position of the general of the chariot cavalry may be lost. If he did not admit it, the imperial court forces would declare war on him. General, at this time, it is not advisable to be the first in the world, and it is the best choice to follow the trend and add fuel to the fire. ”

Sun Ce groaned, savoring the meaning of Zhang Hong's suggestion. Obviously, Xun Yu's holding high the banner of Zhengshuo is not only effective for those Guanzhong people who live in Nanyang, but also for the people of the world, and Zhang Hong is likely to be among them. He also has nostalgia for the imperial court, at least he can't be as righteous as Guo Jia.

Therefore, it is normal for him to suggest accepting the edict of the imperial court.

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at Zhang Hong. "Then what about Jingzhou, do you want to fight Jiangxia and Nanjun?"

Zhang Hong met Sun Ce's gaze, his eyes clear. "Of course you have to fight. Not only to fight, but also to be fast, to conquer Jiangxia and Nanjun before the imperial edict arrived, creating a fait accompli. It's just that the four counties in Jiangnan may have to wait. Zhang Hong thought for a while, and then said: "General, what I am most worried about now is that the imperial court will transfer you from Yuzhou and Jingzhou. The tiger does not leave the mountain, the dragon does not leave the abyss, once you leave Yuzhou and Jingzhou, you may still have a place to use, but Yuzhou and Jingzhou will be chaotic. Before the edict arrives, you should strengthen the forces around General Zhengdong, he is invincible with troops, but there is a lack of people who can manage the people, and only Zhang Zibu is probably not enough. ”
