"As Nakaji said!" It was the middle of winter, in the Dongpingling City of Jinan, Qingzhou, Yuan Shao saw the edict sent from Chang'an to change the yuan, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he asked, and then waited for the messenger to leave as soon as he looked around, and sighed with emotion. "By next year's autumn harvest, Gongsun Wenqi can be said to be powerless!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Guo Tu was the first to bow down and congratulate. "In this way, then Qing, Yan, and Ji can all be mastered by the lord, and maybe they can strike first!"

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, but slowly shook his head, and his face became serious.

"The public rule is right, but it can't help but be too optimistic." Xin Zhongzhi on the side couldn't help but bow his head and smile when he saw this, as if he understood what Yuan Shao thought. "Why is General Wei weak, isn't it that he ate too much and earned too much in the previous year? Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, the foundation of the king's hegemony, the central court is in hand, and the princes are ordered with the righteousness of the Han family. Therefore, if his people can appease the people a little and govern smoothly, then after next autumn, the most important food will catch up, and the people's hearts will be ready, and it will be time for this Wei general to annex 3,000 li like a tiger and wolf again. ”

"Not bad." Yuan Shao replied with the saber in his waist. Zhongzhi said this to the point, the reason why Gongsun Wenqi was weak at this time was not because he was incompetent, but because he had gained too much before. If the center is still powerful, why does he need to change the yuan to set things right? If it weren't for the vast territory of the Sanfu, Hedong, and Bingzhou counties, why would it be necessary to clarify the rule? If it weren't for the countless people in Henan, why would it be necessary to ban alcohol because of lack of food? We had a careful conversation with the envoy just now, and we knew a lot of details, and in my opinion, Gongsun Wenqi had a word that was far better than those before Weiyang Palace when he expelled Yang Wenxian and others on the bank of Weishui...... That is the chaos of the world, my generation must seize the day! ”

Everyone in the hall, since Feng Ji, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu, have solemnly bowed their heads and said yes.

However, when he got up straight, Feng Jifu asked another thing: "Duke Ming, Gongsun Wenqi's accusation of Emperor Xianling in Weiyang Palace is a shock, do you want to do the opposite, and write to Chang'an to talk about it, so as to resist it?" ”

"No, you don't." Yuan Shao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "I don't hide it from Yuan Tu, I don't know Emperor Zhiling for a long time, and I can probably understand Gongsun Wenqi's move...... In this case alone, he and I are comrades. ”

Feng Ji and a few people in the hall were so smart that they woke up almost instantly.

In other words, in this series of complex political events that have occurred from the death of Emperor Ling to the present, in terms of Yuan Shao's political position, there is actually only one young emperor Liu Wei in the entire Han family who can be regarded as the political banner of his person and his family, and now that Liu Wei is dead, Yuan's power in the center has also been wiped out from the body, so the reigning little emperor set up by Dong Zhuo is just a particularly embarrassing place for Yuan Shao...... admit it, it's a slap in the face, and it's also a trick on yourself; Don't admit it, but this is the only descendant of Emperor Xianling, and it seems that it is really justified.

In other words, Gongsun Xun fired directly from his father Emperor Ling, which was a young emperor, but it was very helpful for Yuan Shao to establish his own political authority in the Kanto region.

Or to put it more explicitly, in the matter of suppressing the authority of the Han family, General Wei, who holds the Son of Heaven, and General Che Cai, who is self-proclaimed in the Kanto region, have completely identical interests...... Because for these two strong men who quickly stood out in the early peace years, the authority of the Han family was not a necessity, even if Gongsun Xun went to woo Dong, it was just to ensure that this authority that could threaten him was not held by others.

"But......" After the matter was over, Xin Ping continued to fold his hands and smiled. Although General Wei captured Guanzhong, his fame and power all soared, so that he faintly had the name of being the strongest in the world, but he also revealed a great flaw. ”

"What Brother Zhongzhi said is extremely true." Guo Tu immediately followed.

"Come on!" Yuan Shao also became more and more serious.

"This matter is simple, please think about the fundamental place that General Wei relies on, has it become two pieces?" Xin commented on the twist of the mustache to raise his voice. "A piece headed by Changping, based on the three counties of Yuyang, has seven counties in Youzhou, and is connected with Zhongshan and Changshan...... This place is the foundation of his business for several years, although the place is barren, it is where the strong soldiers of Youzhou he relies on, and the territory is vast, and the hearts of the people are attached. ”

"Not bad." Yuan Shao slowly bowed his head. "And the other piece is naturally the land of Sanfu and Hedong, which is rich in land and people, and has geographical advantages...... Therefore, the meaning of Zhongzhi and Gongzhi is that the three counties connecting the two places are actually the weakness of Gongsun Wenqi? ”

"Actually, I thought so." Feng Ji interjected on the side. "Just as a man's fists are clenched, and his chest is open. And now the land led by General Wei extends from Liaoxi all the way to Sanfu, like a two-headed long snake, winding continuously...... If you want to break this formation, the first is to break its waist, so the three counties of the state are indeed the key points. ”

"That being said." Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh. "But how can the three counties of the state be easily taken? I have seen the danger of Taihang with my own eyes, the majesty of Jinyang City, although I have not seen it in person, but I have heard of the name for a long time......"

"Doesn't Ming Gong still want to fight Jinyang before the autumn harvest next year?" Xin Ping couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "The overall situation must be planned step by step in order to do the best work...... According to the subordinates, if you want to break the power of the general from the overall situation, you should indeed break off and merge the state; And if you want to break off and merge with the state, you should first hold Taihang; If you want to hold Taihang, you should try to go down to Jizhou; As for wanting to go down to Jizhou, you should attack Handan first; If you want to attack Handan, you should first rely on Yecheng! ”

"And if you want to use Yecheng as a basis, don't you take Qingzhou first, and then break Gongsun Bogui?" At this moment, someone outside the hall suddenly spoke from afar, interrupting Xin Zhongzhi's explanation. "The overall situation must be planned step by step in order to do our best."

When Xin Ping heard this, he immediately restrained his smile and said no more, while Guo Tu simply turned his face away.

"Ziyuan is right!" Yuan Shao didn't care at all about the sudden sound outside the hall, he just got up slightly with his saber and took a few steps forward, and then sighed. "Things have to be done within your means...... Qingzhou doesn't take it, why do you break Gongsun Zhan? If you don't break Gongsun Zhan, how can you suppress Han Fu? If you don't subdue Han Fu, how can you face Gongsun Xun face to face? ”

"I thought that before the autumn harvest next year, no matter how fast we were, we would only be able to break Handan." Feng Ji also analyzed sincerely. "But Handan won't be so easy to break, because at that point, it's an official battle between the two sides...... The two powerhouses will compete with each other, and the whole body will be affected by one trigger, and it is likely that it will continue for thousands of miles, and the battle will not stop. ”

"That's right." The voice outside the hall came again, but it had already come to him, and then a scribe with a high-crowned brocade coat and a luxurious white coat walked straight in with a long sword, and it was Xu You Xu Ziyuan. "However, if you can capture Handan before Gongsun Wenqi's strength eases up, it can be called the first city, because the weight of Handan and Yecheng is the right of Jizhou, and the weight of Jizhou is the right of Hebei...... No matter how far away, there is no need to think about it. ”

Yuan Shao bowed his head again, put the word Handan in his heart, and then turned to ask Xu You: "Ziyuan, didn't you go to Yuling to receive it, why did you return in a hurry?" ”

"Primordial." Xu You shook his head helplessly. "I am Yu Ling who received the Beihai Navy situation and came back to see you."

"Is there a recurrence of war in the North Sea?" Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment when he saw the other party's expression. "A little bit of the Yellow Turban remnants, just to scare Kong Wenju, a nerd, won't it go wrong?"

"The war went well, and Kong Wenju was so frightened that he wrote a letter." Xu Yu sighed even more. "It can be said that the overall situation of Qingzhou has been ......"

"That ......"

"Bao Yuncheng died in battle." Xu You finally said the reason, and as soon as these words came out, Yuan Benchu and the center of the hall were immediately stunned on the spot.

In other words, Yuan Shaozhen didn't want to kill Bao Xin.

In fact, according to the results of the planning and discussion between this Yuan Cheqi and a group of henchmen, the two remaining princes of Yanzhou, Liu Dai and Bao Xin, should give priority to getting rid of Liu Dai and then protecting Bao Xin.

This is because Liu Dai is the assassin of Yanzhou, and he will naturally have political influence on the entire Yanzhou, thus threatening Yuan Shao. Moreover, Liu Dai is not a good person, and he has lost the hearts of the people after the Qiaomao incident, so it is very convenient to deal with it. As for Bao Xin, this person can fight and dare to fight, plus just a Jibei minister, he will not set off any waves. And the most important point is that if you count Liu Dai, who is ready to get rid of him, plus the Zhang brothers who were actually under house arrest before, and the dead Qiao Mao, Yuan Shao's methods of subduing Yanzhou and Qingzhou will inevitably be too rough, which will lose people's hearts.

Therefore, according to the original strategy, whether it is Bao Xin, Beihai Kong Rong, or several other ministers and Taishou in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao has no idea at all.

However, now that Xu You came over, he suddenly told Yuan Shao and the others that Bao Xin was dead, not Liu Dai, who should have died, which made people stunned, so why not be worried?

"How did you die?" After being stunned for a long time, Yuan Shaofang had no choice but to ask.

"The big picture will hit the target at a time." Xu You said helplessly. "In fact, according to the original arrangement, Liu Dai should have died in the pursuit of the remnants, but Bao Xin died first."

"What's the reaction from across the front?" Yuan Shao was stunned again for a moment before continuing to ask.

"Liu Dai was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out of the big tent, and the reason why Kong Wenju came in a hurry was that he was also a little frightened after hearing the news of Bao Yuncheng's death." Xu Yu smiled bitterly and twisted his beard. "The most troublesome thing is Zang Hong from Le'an's side, and his people sent a letter again, not only asking for the release of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, but also advising you to send an envoy to Chang'an to comfort the Son of Heaven in the letter, and explain the matter of Qiaomao before."

"Zang Hong is just a young man with some enthusiasm, and he thought that the Han family could be expected." Xin Ping shook his head and said. Or after presiding over the oath in the sour jujube that day, some self-righteousness may not be said, in short, there is no need to worry. It's Liu Dai......"

"Not bad." Feng Ji also hurriedly spoke. "Since Bao Xin is dead, it is useless to think too much, so he can only say that those who are clear will clear themselves, but after this incident, should Liu Dai's matter be slowed down? Or do you just let them go? ”

Yuan Shao did not answer directly, but turned around on the spot, looked around at several henchmen in the hall, and wanted to listen to the opinions not too obviously.

"I thought that Liu Gongshan should be let go, and Kong Wenju should be appeased." Xu Ziyuan took it upon himself and acted directly. "That's what this hurried return means, you have to worry about people's hearts at the beginning, in case you don't want to hurry up."

"I thought I could take it easy, but I didn't have to let them go." Feng Ji thought about it for a while, and quickly put forward his own suggestion. "The position of Yanzhou Assassin is too important, unless he is willing to take the initiative to resign and return to his hometown, he can't be easily let go, but the prime minister of Jibei died suddenly, and people's hearts are turbulent, so they have to be guarded against."

Yuan Shaofu looked at Xin Ping again.

"I thought that those who achieve great things are not informal." Xin Ping pondered for a moment, and then responded awe-inspiringly. "I just said that General Wei will take the lead first, we should seize the day, how can we destroy the overall situation because of a little reputation? Not only that, since Jibei is dead, he should also quickly merge his subordinates...... Ming Gong, his subordinate Yu Ban and his Taishan soldiers are recognized as an elite, and they can't fake others! ”

Yuan Shao slowly bowed his head.

And Guo Tu also hurriedly expressed his position when he saw this: "Lord, I also thought that I shouldn't mess up with myself for this matter, on the contrary, since this is already the case, I should deal with Liu Dai as soon as possible, that is, Kong Rong, and simply send him directly to Chang'an, and let him be an empty minister on General Wei's side, so as not to get in the way." In fact, with the prestige and divine power of the lord, it is all disposed of, how can anyone dare to oppose it? ”

Yuan Shao was just about to speak, but Xu You over there couldn't help but be furious: "You Yingchuan people, don't think that I don't know what you are planning in your heart, don't you just want to let everything happen quickly and take Jizhou quickly, so that your family and clansmen in Yecheng can cut off the fields and houses?" I only ask you, if you speak with selfishness, if there is chaos and the overall situation is ruined because of this, will you be responsible? ”

Xin Ping is a little older, so he should not be silent about this.

However, Guo Tu Guo Gongzhi couldn't help but look at each other angrily when he heard this: "What if you say this, have we ever abolished the public for private reasons?" It's you Xu Ziyuan, because your family followed the lord from the beginning and settled in Yanzhou and Qingzhou early, so you are unscrupulous...... Don't think I don't know, this time you came back in such a hurry to persuade the lord to slow down, maybe you were bribed by Liu Dai and Kong Rong, eating here and speaking for others! ”

Xu You sneered and continued to scold.

However, at this moment, Yuan Benchu suddenly pulled out half of the knife in his waist, and then stuffed it back fiercely, the sound of gold and iron plus the cold light white blade immediately quieted the hall, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot.

In the silence, Yuan Shao sat back in the hall with a straight face, and then glanced left and right, but said something suspicious.

"Ziyuan." Yuan Shao stopped his gaze on Xu Yu and looked at each other. "I actually know the selfishness of Zhongzhi and Gongzhi...... Isn't it just that Han Fu can't satisfy them, so he desperately wants me to replace him? ”

Xin Ping and Guo Tu couldn't help but change color slightly, and then leaned over to plead guilty.

"You need not plead either, and I will tell you." Yuan Shaofu looked at Xin and Guo again. "Ziyuan's family has a wide range of properties in Dongjun, and when he received and supervised the army in Qingzhou, he received a lot of bribes, and I am also clear...... It's not your turn to attack. ”

Xu Yu sneered for a moment.

"Why tolerate you?" Yuan Benchu looked around and continued to scream at each other. "It's not Gongsun Xun in front yet, I want to catch up, so I want to ask you wise people to help me sincerely? And gentlemen, there is one thing that I have always hidden in my heart, and I have not spoken to you explicitly...... Haven't you thought that the decisive battle in Jizhou was actually an open and honest invitation battle for Gongsun Wenqi? ”

At this moment, even Feng Ji can't keep his composure.

"There is no need to doubt the metagraph." Yuan Benchu said with a sneer. "Not to mention anything else, because he wants to take the state and ask for Dong, I can understand whether Han Fu was in the past, but now Gongsun Chan is his brother, and his power is far weaker than him, why don't he interfere a little, but let others act recklessly, so that in a hurry, I drove the tiger and devoured the wolf, set foot in Qingzhou, and exposed my flaws? To put it bluntly, it's not that his Gongsun Xun wants to lure me into the game and let me fight him in Hebei, so that he disregards the righteousness of his brother and is in the house here?! And this kind of overall situation, no matter how smart you people are, you may not be able to understand or even dare not believe it, but I, Yuan Shao, have already been sure in my heart, and I have come to fight in a grand manner! Because among the people in the world, the one who knows his grandson Wenqi best is my Yuan Shao! The one who knows me Yuan Shao best is also his Gongsun Xun! The two are competing against each other, where is the accountant compared to your little thoughts? Where is the accountant's temporary reputation and popularity? If you win the battle against Gongsun Xun, everything is under control, if you can't win, you can only die with me on the bank of the Yellow River! ”

At this point, Yuan Shao ignored the fact that the faces of the people in the hall had turned pale, so he directly ordered: "I have made up my mind, and I will immediately personally lead troops to the city of Beihai Opera County, annex Bao Yuncheng's troops, force Liu Gongshan to retreat, and raise Kong Wenju into the court...... Then he swept Qingzhou a little, then raised troops to the north and drove Gongsun Zan all the way back to his hometown in Youzhou! Then, I must expel Han Fu in the summer of next year, and besiege Handan before the autumn harvest, so that the power of the world will be slightly inclined to me! ”

Xu You was just about to speak again, but Yuan Shao drew his knife again, and this time he came out with all the knives, and he actually cut off the cases in front of him: "Gentlemen, if Gongsun Wenqi can do it, I can do it too!" If Gongsun Wenqi can't do it, I can still do it! There is only one hero in the world, Gongsun Xun, I don't want to lose! ”

So far, no one dares to say more, but has bowed their heads.

"Since the ministers heard about the emperor, there have been things up and down the monarchs and ministers, Zhang Hua to guide the people, and punish to prohibit violence.
