It is a pity that the grain obtained from this bumper harvest in Xuzhou is just enough to relieve the catastrophic famine caused by the locust plague and the catastrophic drought in Huainan region.

During the period after the winter, throughout Xuzhou, Liu Bei's subordinates were all busy transporting food for disaster relief.

Jiujiang Taishou Lu Su and Lujiang County Taishou Tai Shi Ci according to the countermeasures discussed by Lu Su and Xu Shu, long-distance transportation of grain, the loss is relatively large, the best way is to let the people of Huainan take the initiative to go to Xuzhou to eat.

Therefore, Lu Su and Tai Shici responded to the disaster, on the one hand, they moved the young and strong people in the countryside to Xiapi Kingdom, and on the other hand, they moved all the old and young people in the countryside who could not move long distances to the county or county seat.

In this way, losses associated with transporting food over long distances can be reduced.

Without the corresponding strength, relying on his own family background, rashly claiming to be the emperor, and ignoring the people under his rule, Yuan Shu, who was the worst but most arrogant in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, fled into the mountains of Lujiang County when the commander fled into the mountains of Lujiang County, the people around him were already scattered.

Until the end, in the midst of hunger and cold, Yuan Shu, who was seriously ill, still couldn't forget to enjoy it, and wanted to drink a sip of honey in the winter, of course, he couldn't get what he wanted.

Yuan Shu died of illness, and, it is said, he vomited three liters of blood.

Of course, it is not known whether this rumor is feasible.

However, Yuan Shu died, but someone brought him a gift, because the road was far, this gift was not delivered to Jin Jue until half a year later, that is, in April of the third year of Jian'an.

This gift is the body of Jin Jue's father, Jin Shang.

It turned out that after Jin Shang's death, Yuan Shu naturally did not pay attention to a dead person.

Yan Xiang, who had an old master book with Jin Shang, took the opportunity to quietly order his subordinates to hide Jin Shang's body, and prepared to order someone to return it to the Jin brothers or the imperial court at that time.

In any case, before Jin Shang died, he had in his hands the relevant seals and documents related to the imperial court officially appointing him as the assassin of Yanzhou.

In fact, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, after Yuan Shu was defeated and died of illness, Jin Shang's body was indeed sent back to Xudu, and was sent back to Taifu Ma Riyan together with him, because Ma Riyan was taken away by Yuan Shu, so Emperor Han Xian named Jin Shang's son Jin Wei as Langzhong, and Ma Riyan did not enjoy such treatment because of the loss of the messenger Fujie.

You must know that Ma Riyan is not an ordinary person, he is a native of Fufeng Maoling, obviously after the Fubo general Ma Yuan, and he is also the grandson of Ma Rong, a minister in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty and a master of scripture.

Even if the identity and fame are not as good as Yuan Shu, they are also a big family in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's just that what Jin Jue didn't expect was that the person who escorted Jin Shang's body to Hanzhong was Yan Xiang's son - Yan Zhi, Yan Xiang was dissuaded by Yuan Shu before he became emperor, and Yuan Shu became jealous of him because of this matter, and under the fear, Yan Xiang died of illness one step earlier.

After all, Yan Xiang was the first wise man under Yuan Shu, he saw that Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor and was not far from defeat, so before he died, he instructed his son in the third order to let him escort Jin Shang's body to Hanzhong County and defect to Jin Jue.

Why didn't Yan Xiang let his son take his family to Yuan Shao, who was very strong in terms of prestige and strength during this period, or Cao Cao, who had Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in his hands?

There are three reasons for this.

First, after all, Yan Xiang was Yuan Shu's trusted advisor before his death, even if there were many contradictions between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, they couldn't write two 'Yuan' in one stroke, after all, they were still cousins within five suits.

Even if Yan Xiang himself was still alive, when he got to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would definitely blame him for the responsibility of assisting Yuan Shu, not to mention that Yan Xiang himself was only a son with Chinese resources. If Yan Xiang's family is under Yuan Shao's rule, whether they can survive or not is two words.

Second, Yan Xiang still has a heart for the Han Dynasty in his heart.

He stood up alone to dissuade Yuan Shu from becoming emperor, in addition to knowing that once Yuan Shu became emperor, the situation would immediately be very unfavorable to him, and he didn't want Yuan Shu to betray the Han Dynasty. After all, the so-called four generations and three dukes of the Yuan family were all given to the Yuan family by the emperor surnamed Liu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Third, Yan Xiang despised Cao Cao's personality very much.

This reason is not because Yan Xiang and Jin Shang are on good terms, in fact, in his opinion, Jin Shang is right, but his vision is not good. has no corresponding ability, and the Jin family has long been reduced to a small local family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only has it never had a record of being an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but even its reputation is not enough to make the world's soldiers submit.

In this way, he rashly accepted the order of Emperor Han Xian to go out of the customs, and took up the post of Yanzhou assassin, and was not killed by Cao Cao, but was only driven away.

However, Cao Cao is not only after the emasculation, but also cruel and easy to kill, Chen Liu's famous people Bian Rang, countless innocent people in Xuzhou, and even recently, Yuan Shu sent people to assassinate Chen Xiang and Chen Wang, and the assassin of these two important officials in Yuzhou was Cao Cao's great enemy, Zhang Min, who really killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song. This time, Cao Cao actually ignored the big enemy and only cared about grabbing territory with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao, who held the trump card of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, reached a tacit understanding with Yuan Shu in secret, and attacked Xuzhou before Yuan Shu became emperor.

In the second year of Jian'an, not only did Cao Cao's reputation be damaged again, but even the people of the world were deeply disappointed in Emperor Han Xian.

Can you not be disappointed?

Yuan Shu, that's a traitor!

Before, the Jin brothers sued Yuan Shu to be the emperor, and it can also be said that Emperor Han Xian was young and was deceived by the villains around him, and he almost disposed of the Jin brothers because of gullible slander. But this time is different, Cao Cao's actions and the cooperation of Emperor Han Xian have completely revealed to the world that since Emperor Han Xian was moved to Xudu, he has been completely reduced to a puppet.

By the way, there is another person whose reputation has been damaged, and this person is Xun Yu, who is famous all over the world.

Xun Yue took the initiative to leave Xu Du, and at the same time did not return home to live in seclusion, this matter was not concealed in the end. After Emperor Han Xian arrived in Xudu, Xun Yu and Xun Yue worked together as emperors' teachers to tutor and educate Emperor Han Xian.

The result?

Emperor Han Xian happily became a puppet, and Xun Yue took the initiative to retreat. But what about Xun Yu?

If there was no Jin Jue's comment on the list of military advisors, Xun Yu's attitude at this time was only clear to him, and others, including Cao Cao, might not know, but with that comment, Xun Yue's departure made Cao Cao have a trace of guilt in the Xun family.

At the same time, it also made those scholars who still had the Han Dynasty in their hearts hesitate.
