In mid-April, with the death of Yuan Shao, and the surrender of almost the entire county of Beihai, Donglai, Qi, and Le'an, Lü Fan, who was in charge of the military and political power at the front, began to order the army to turn to Jinan on a large scale. And tens of thousands of troops from the north pressed the border, not only Guan Hai, Yu Poison and others, who had occupied Jinan before, fled one after another, and directly gave up Jinan, that is, the surrounding Taishan County and Jibei Country to which Yanzhou belonged, Langya County to which Xuzhou belonged, and even Lu State, which belonged to Yuzhou and rushed to the foot of Mount Tai, almost all felt the earthquake.

Among them, the new Qingzhou Mu Guan Yu can be called extremely domineering, since his people arrived in Jinan, almost non-stop, by exterminating the name of Mount Tai Yellow Turban, pursuing Yuan Jun, trying to enter Mount Tai, Jibei not to mention, but also to reach out to Xuzhou Langya County, and to the counties of Lu State to convey the order to summon.

For a time, the Central Plains shook, and almost everyone was worried that the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Qingzhou would take advantage of the trend to move south and sweep the Central Plains!

"Xuzhou Tao Qian is getting older, maybe he can transfer the tiger away from the mountain with a will, and then take it calmly; Yanzhou was originally ...... It was the hometown of Yuan Che, and the people were frightened, so maybe they could take advantage of the situation; After General Zhenxi captured Hanoi and rectified the old capital, the three prefectures of Yan, Xu, and Si would be in hand, and the Central Plains would be down on three sides, and the north of the river would be like General Wei's bag...... With such a grace from the guarded general, didn't he intend to accomplish this great achievement for others? "In a manor courtyard outside the city of Jinan Guoli City, a somewhat unique banquet is being held, and at this time the person who spoke was a person in the banquet, only to see this person in a high-crowned brocade robe, shaking his head, holding a cup in one hand and raising it in the other, talking about the general trend of the world, it turned out to be no one else, it was Guo Tu Guo Gongze, the former car and cavalry general's mansion bookkeeper.

Hearing this, Lu Fan, who was sitting in the top position, laughed for a while, and even wanted to speak.

"!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, no one got up and didn't get up, so he raised his voice to refute it, and choked Guo Tu in place, and everyone looked at it, but it was Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan. "How long has it been since this happened, if Yanzhou could have been lowered, it would have already fallen, and if it can't be lowered at this time, it must be a big fork in the other side! Therefore, unless the sword is used again, it is absolutely impossible to pass the test...... There are also Hanoi, the old capital...... After talking for a long time, I only asked, it's been three months, has Yecheng been depressed and surrendered? Frustration and a day does not fall, what are you talking about Sizhou and Yanzhou? ”

The first sentence can be regarded as refuting the debate, but when the latter sentence comes out, everyone here is counted as one, and they can't help but be silent for a while.

"In fact, I have also thought about it below, there is a priority in things, and people have a theory of obedience and disobedience." Guo Tu paused for a moment and continued to hold the cup to Lu Fan, who was the first to speak calmly. "Not to mention the north of the big river, Hanoi and Wei County are just sooner or later. And Yanzhou, which borders Cao Cao and Sun Jian's territory, is almost a flat river, without any obstacles, unlike here where the big river is still separated by Mount Tai, it is really difficult to send a large army; Second, the people are stubborn in the other place, and there were many Yanzhou Qingzhuang casualties in the previous Hebei War, and Li Qian's eldest son Li Quan, who truthfully controlled the three counties of Jiyin, died under the Dongdao of Guanzhen, so it is really difficult to surrender easily, so it is really possible to vote for Sun and Cao in the other place, and it is not easy to take it down...... But Xuzhou, Tao Gongzu's current posture does have merit, and I ask Lu Changshi to weigh it and not to easily delay such a great achievement. ”

"Xuzhou can't take it either!" Xu Yu said coldly on the side, thinking right. "Hundreds of thousands of Taishan bandits are scattered in Mount Tai, Yishan, Mengshan, Lushan, and Laoshan Mountain, even if Yu Poison and Guan Hai are just bandits, don't you need to spend time cleaning up? And how do the unscrupulous assault horses in Hebei fight in these mountainous areas? Is the word "unadaptable" fake? If you want to say it in the future, if Guan Yunchang really wants to go south, then you might as well give it a try, but don't look at his arrogance at this time, it can be said that he will be taught a lesson by Langya Zang Xuangao, who grew up here since childhood, in the ravine of Yimeng Second Mountain...... When the time comes, it will be in vain to lose the prestige of General Wei's constant victory! ”

"As you say, General Wei has exhausted his strength this time?" Guo Tu slowed down for a long time before sneering and laughing. "Just like what everyone thought after General Former Wei joined Sanfu? But as a result, now not only the main forces of Yongzhou and Youzhou have come out, but also the armies of Bingzhou and Liaodong have also flocked to it...... What does this mean? This shows that ......"

"This shows that Gongsun Wenqi has really done his best!" Xu Yu said. "I don't believe that he can still hide grain in Hetao after taking out all the grain in Changping, and after smashing out the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, he can still hide 100,000 Xianbei cavalry in Monan...... If this is the case, I will write to him now to persuade him to ascend the throne and become emperor, and to overthrow the Han Dynasty as soon as possible! ”

Guo Tu sneered, and was about to say more, but Xu You rushed to his conclusion before him: "Don't always refute with your mouth, if you have confidence, you might as well bet with me...... This war will inevitably stop at the line of Jibei, Luguo, and Taishan, that is, at most take the north of the river and the east of Mount Tai...... And besides, Gongsun Wenqi is not fighting for the sake of fighting, he is not a martial artist who only has territory in his eyes, and if he doesn't clean up Hebei, he won't easily start a war again! If it weren't for the fact that he had long expected that Xuzhou would not be able to be defeated, Yanzhou would be annexed by Sun and Cao, why would he no longer divide Zhongyuan Prefecture? Nanyang and Runan are the most outrageous, don't he know? ”

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he hurriedly lowered his head and drank himself.

"Bet on what?" On the other side, Guo Tu had been made angry by Xu Ziyuan. "I know that you have always been greedy for money, and now that we are not free in the army, and there is nothing else, you just want to make money, what can you get?"

"How's the gamble?" Xu Yu suddenly screamed at each other. "Whoever guesses wrong, who will present the head!"

"Are you crazy? I've seen it for a long time, you've lost your soul since the Battle of the Boundary Bridge......"

"Alright." Seeing that these two people were getting more and more outrageous, Lu Fan really couldn't listen to it, so he took the initiative to speak out to change the atmosphere. "I came here today, just the beginning of summer, the wind and the sunshine, specially to meet all the gentlemen, to see if there is any inadequate hospitality...... Nothing else. ”

"Lu Changshi doesn't have to hide it." Xu Yu said proudly, he didn't even give Lu Fan face. "We are all about to be imprisoned by you for a month, it must be Gongsun Wenqi's absence, and you really don't know what to do with us, so it's been delay......ed again and again."

Lu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since Mr. Ziyuan knows it, why do you have to pull it out?" It's hard for us too......"

"What's so hard about that?" Xu You sneered and asked. "A group of prisoners are just a piece of fried pork with vegetables on your Lu Ziheng case......"

"Why isn't it difficult?" Lu Fan sighed more and more when he heard this. "It's okay for the officer, he has his own customization, the so-called eleven killing...... As for you, if you say that you are subordinates, many of them are involved in the military, and if you say that you are involved in the military, you can justify that you are only ordered to supervise the army. Moreover, most of those who participated in the military contributed to the city, but those who did not participate in the military just fell by the trend. In this regard, the generals in the army, because of the war, are violent, and they hope to be treated equally, and they will be killed in eleven strokes; And those of us who have the heart to distinguish between civil and military affairs can't distinguish at all; Not to mention, there are many of you involved......"

Xu You smiled dumbly, and everyone in the banquet was either proud for a while, or a little embarrassed, and they also reacted a lot...... In fact, how could they not know what Lu Ziheng meant?

If nothing else, let's just say that these old Yuan people present are captives...... Xun Chen is Xun You's uncle, Guo Tu is Guo Jia's brother, Xin Ping is Zhong Xuan's old friend, and then everyone is still from Yingchuan Township; Not only that, it is Yi and Peng Miao, who are Kong Rong's former officials, and Kong Wenju is known to everyone, and there may have been a letter of plea delivered at this time; Then Guo Yuan, Xi Xuan, Cui Yan, and a large number of scribes who were captured in Qingzhou, most of them were Zheng Xuan's disciples, and Zheng Xuan was Lu Zhi's junior brother, counting these people and Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zhan, and Lu Ziheng were all in the same vein as Ma Rong, not to mention that Zheng Xuan was sitting in Beihai Gaomi at this time!

Even Chen Lin, who can only use the pen, can move out an old colleague Wang Qian, who has passed away, to block the drive, right? Moreover, Wang Qian has been very kind to the political group of Gongsun Xun, and the face of this dead man is definitely worth the life of a writer who only writes articles.

As for Xu Yu when he was in Luozhong, he almost joined Gongsun Xun's team, not to mention Gongsun Xun himself, Lu Fan, Han Dang, Lou Gui, and Gongsun Yue are not familiar with it? How did he escape from Wei Yue's men that day?

No way, it's a very real problem...... No matter how you say it, as the existence of a very small number of elites, the political privileges of the scholars exist objectively, and since they have been demoted, Lu Fan must treat them with courtesy, or even directly exonerate them.

However, Gongsun Xun left behind an iron law before leaving, which obviously exceeded Lu Fan's authority, that is, the officer's eleventh killing order. Those who have been in charge of the army have met each other on the battlefield, what do you want? After the war, the eleventh smash was already an extremely benevolent prisoner of war strategy in this era.

Historically, Cao Cao did not stop the policy of all-out killing of prisoners until he unified the north and Tianyin, a great tycoon of Hejian, gathered people to rebel, and was praised as merciful.

And the biggest question now is, when the mild-mannered and detached group of scholars in the troubled times got involved in military power and picked up a knife, is it appropriate to deal with it in the same way as the scholars in the past?

Nobody knows.

Because scholars who read the scriptures in the past did not hold knives, this time Yuan Shao was defeated, and it was really the first time that he saw so many scholars captured in the army...... As a result, Lu Fan wanted to exonerate all of them, but he was worried about disturbing the eleventh killing, which could almost be called the basic countermeasures and regulations of Gongsun Xun's troubled times; I want to deal with it ruthlessly, but I don't have the courage at all, and I really can't bear it; And wanted to distinguish clearly, dragged out the former commander of the army for separate disposal, but found that he did not have a legal standard at all, and drew a dividing line that convinced everyone.

As a result, these people have been under house arrest with the army, from Hebei to Taishan, and with the capture of Qingzhou as a whole, there are more and more people in this category, so much that Lu Fan can no longer ignore them, but they are still helpless.

"I thought Lu Ziheng was originally a prime minister, but it seems that he was only stained with the light of Yuan Cong!" After the banquet was dispersed, Lu Fan went by himself, and the captives who were confined to this manor couldn't help but worry about returning home, but Guo Tu and Xu You had their own things in their hearts, but they continued to stay where they were 'talking', and Guo Tu flicked his sleeves and spoke first, but he looked quite graceful, as if the two had no quarrel just now. "Can he really kill us? And if you can't kill us, why not take advantage of the power in your hands and share our lives? If this is the case, who of us will not be grateful to him in the future, and will not he be more secure in the position of the shogunate? ”

"Guo Gongze, a two-faced person like you really saved your life, how can you really be grateful to others?" Xu You sat motionless in his position, but he didn't give the other party a face at all. "Yuan Benchu knew you so well, didn't you sell him in a hurry? I only found out the day before yesterday why the soldiers and horses on Qinghe Road were routed so quickly, and 30,000 people were actually taken to Boping by you, and then sold in one fell swoop...... With such a great achievement, it's no wonder that Lu Ziheng can't kill you directly. ”

"Xu Ziyuan, now we are all people in the same boat, we want to live and die, why are we so aggressive?" Guo Tu finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Didn't you just ride the last ride with Yuan Che? Didn't it come down in the end? If you die, I will respect you for three points......"

"If I die, you will be proud of your heart...... For that reason, I will never die on the spot! Xu Yu folded his hands and laughed back. Moreover, who is in the same boat with you? ”

"Do you think you have a personal relationship with General Wei?" Guo Tu said coldly, but he directly brushed his sleeves and got up. "General Wei must not be here, it is Lu Ziheng who is in charge here! And no matter how powerful Lu Ziheng is, he is only a minister, and as a minister, he must consider the mentality of his colleagues, and his prestige is only borrowed from the minister, and his problem today lies in this! And you? When you borrowed the Tao from Wei Yue and caused his people to be killed by Jin, you had already hated the generals of the Northern Army, the important ministers of Yuan Cong, and even the people from Youhe Background...... If it weren't for the prosperity and loss of everyone here, where would you be able to live? You have followed all the way here, and you have not unintentionally fallen into the water or been trampled to death by the horse's hooves, it is already strictly forbidden by General Wei and Lu Ziheng to govern the army! Let me be blunt...... Even if you really survived this time, with what you did that day, you would die sooner or later! ”

"Guo thief...... I don't know what happened to me, but you don't want to end well. Xu You still sat upright, not letting in the slightest. I can see through you, although you are resourceful, talented, and well-organized in handling its laws and logistics, but you are too greedy for power...... And I also understand you, although your Guo family is a big surname in Yingchuan, there are too many Yingchuan clans, and there are too many talents stronger than you, limited by origin, prestige, and ability, if you use common sense, it is difficult for you to serve two thousand stones in your life, so you gradually learn unscrupulous means, and regard colleagues, bosses, and friends as the step of advancement! When Yuan Benchu's power was great, you thought about how to squeeze out your colleagues and gain his trust, and when Yuan's initial power collapsed, you even regarded him as a thing to be trampled on, but have you ever thought about it, such a demeanor, how can you tolerate everyone in the Northland, do you think they are fools? ”

"You call me a thief because I am greedy for power, can I call you a thief for your greed for money?" Guo Tu was not angry. "Are you the only one who understands others? You were born in a prosperous place in Nanyang, and you have been swimming in Wanluo since you were a child, while studying the books of sages and sages, but it is difficult to show your ambitions because of the party's stubbornness; On the one hand, he saw that the magnates of the public clan were sitting in high positions, but they were only corrupted...... And under the influence of your ears and eyes, you helped Yuan Benchu to plot eunuchs, in order to one day apply what you have learned in your heart; On the other hand, he saw early that the general trend was hopeless and the world would fall, so he was obsessed with wealth and treasures...... When it comes to despicable things, who of you and I would dare to laugh at whom? ”

"But have you thought about it," Xu You finally raised his head and got up. "In ordinary times and troubled times, greed for money and power cannot be generalized...... The misfortune of the greedy people in the ordinary world is heavier than the people who fight for power in the ordinary world, because the system still exists in the ordinary world, and the greed for a penny will eventually go to the people's fat and the people's anointing, and the struggle for power in the ordinary world is just a dog eats a dog. But what about troubled times? Greed for money in troubled times is just asking for more rewards and grabbing more seizures, but fighting for power is a river of blood! ”

"So you're cleaner than me?" Guo Tu was finally furious.

"I'm not trying to talk about that." Xu You finally gasped and spoke. "I just wanted to ask you...... Let's not talk about the previous things, but Yuan Benchu didn't fail you and me after all, and you and I are the same kind, I can't bear to abandon him, why can you calmly cut his flesh for personal future without waiting for his death? ”

After speaking, Xu You pursed his lips and stared at the other party.

Guo Tu was silent for a long time, but suddenly met the other party's gaze and said calmly: "When you set up an ambush at the boundary bridge, who took Lu Xiang and 10,000 Yanzhou soldiers?" I rode on a chariot and lived for 30,000 people; You didn't take Yuan Che to ride, but you killed 10,000 innocent people...... Xu Ziyuan, you and I are the same kind, I also want to ask you, how can you bear it? ”

Xu You was dizzy for a while, but he could only slowly bow his head, hold his forehead and leave, since then, he has been silent and has never fought with Guo Tu for half a time.

However, the two are trapped between sizes, and the transportation is indeed inconvenient, and it takes time to communicate the information, so it is quite suspicious that the mountains do not know the years...... It doesn't matter if you don't argue, and what you have argued about before is ridiculous.

In fact, as early as the beginning of April, after the Fu Zhu was exhausted in the surrounding branch cities, he took the initiative to meet with Gongsun Yue's envoy, and the Fu Zong who accompanied the army was overjoyed and personally entered the city to see his brother, but only brought back Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan...... Immediately, the city gate was opened, and the frustrated prince and committed suicide in the general's mansion.

And Gongsun Yue sighed, so he had to go south to Hanoi to persecute Zhang Yang.

At the same time, Cao Mengde, who returned from Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven, got a joint invitation from the Li family of Jiyin, as well as the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao who got out of house arrest, as well as Chen Liu's famous scholar Bian Rang, and led an army of 10,000 lightly armed north to Yanzhou.

In the end, it will stop at Jishui, because in front of it is Cheng Zhongde's hometown Dong'e, and Cangting, the middle artery on the Yellow River, which is equivalent to giving up Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, which Yanzhou belongs to, as well as most of the East Counties...... In fact, this is also the result of Cao Cao knowing Gongsun Xun's bottom line in his heart and not crossing the thunder pool by half a step.

However, at this time, Gongsun Xun had already gone south to Liaocheng...... In fact, he had already guessed that Cao Mengde would not let go of such a good opportunity, and he also knew that he was indeed exhausted, and Lu Fan invited him to go south for the reason that Cao Cao was also targeted. But even so, hearing that the other party was marching so fast, and hearing that Yingchuan Xunyu invited Cao Mengde to leave the house for Cao Mengde, entered Yanzhou with the army, and presided over Yanzhou affairs, but he finally changed his color, and then couldn't help but speed up to the south, and came directly to Jinan, preparing to cut through the chaos quickly and deal with a few troublesome things here.

On the twenty-ninth day of April, Gongsun Xun arrived in Jinan and easily took away Zhu Ling's military power in the camp north of the city.

On the second day of the fifth month, it was too late to meet Cao Cao's envoys Xiahou Yuan and Mao Jie, so they personally went out of the east of the city to welcome thirty miles to pick up Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian scholar of the current world who took the initiative to visit, and his own standard could no longer be standard.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Gongsun Xun and his son carried out the Dragon Boat Festival midsummer bathing in Lishuipi outside the city of Jinan Guoli City, and distributed medicinal materials and sacrifices to comfort the whole army.

In the evening, all the captures were issued, the three armies were rewarded, and a banquet was held to entertain the meritorious ministers, Cao Cao's envoys, the famous Confucian Zheng Xuan, and the generals and soldiers were seated in columns.

—————I am the dividing line for the Dragon Boat Festival to take a bath—————

"Zhu Ling and Tai Shi Ci sent 30,000 Liaodong soldiers out of the Bohai Sea, to Donglai, to the city, to Taizu to the north, and to stay in the general of Shi Lu Fan Xingwei's mansion. Every time there is an order, the old things are followed, and the spirit is equal to the right general and the Wei general, and the festival is not ordered, and Fan is more sleepy...... To the summer, Shao died, Qingzhou Xiping, Taizu to Jinan, in the afternoon single horse with Emperor Ren into the Liaodong camp, do not see the generals, until the drum of the stage called the sergeants to the front of the stage, the army to the spirit of disobedience and war in vain, how terrifying. Taizu stood on the platform and pointed to Emperor Ren and said: "There is nothing to do today, Fang brought his own boy here, and when he heard that the villagers were there, he didn't dare not show it." The sergeants in the battalion all cheered and knelt down, saying that long live more than once, and the Liaodong soldiers all returned to Taizu. - "New Yanshu". Volume Sixty. Biography 10
