Chapter 1876: The Battle of Shouchun (157)
Xu Shu left, Liu Lan paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, the battle of Jiujiang, although it has been put on the agenda, but he must wait until Yuan Shao and Cao Cao start a war before he can send troops, for him, the battle of Guandu may change a name, and even the result will change, this is the butterfly effect, but he doesn't care about this, what he cares about is how he uses this opportunity and how to maximize his interests, which is what he really cares about now and the most critical thing.
Originally, in the eyes of many people, it would be the biggest crisis in his life, under the siege of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, his situation would be very unfavorable, but Liu Lan suddenly found that because Yuan Shu was stupidly called the emperor, the crisis turned into hope, and everything changed.
Butterfly effect, Liu Lan knows very well that all this is a change in his own existence, or since he asked Dong, history has been separated from the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms that he is familiar with, and that familiar history has become a strange environment now, what will happen in the next moment, no one knows, including Liu Lan himself.
But in general, there is no change in the history of Yuan Shu's reign as emperor or some general development, Yuan Shu is in Jizhou, Cao Cao is in Xudu, if there is any difference, it is that he stole Xuzhou, which originally belonged to Liu Bei, and Danyang to Sun Ce.
And Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were actually restricted because of their own appearance, of course, the biggest variable is Yuan Shu, in his memory, Yuan Shu was indeed the emperor during this time period, but it was not at this point in time that Cao Cao did not continue to go south after taking Ping'a, but because Taohuaxun returned to Xudu, and then launched a crusade against Zhang Xiu, Cao Anmin and Dian Wei died in battle.
If his memory is not wrong, of course, there may be deviations, after all, his understanding of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is actually not so profound, I have read the book once, and I have watched the series of the old Three Kingdoms and the new Three Kingdoms a few times, but the understanding of the Three Kingdoms is actually more familiar from the game, just like Tai Shi Ci, when he saw in the game that such a general who was not inferior to Guan Yu actually appeared in Beihai County, he was completely stunned, because in his impression, he didn't know Tai Shi Ci at all.
So immediately Baidu, it can be regarded as really knowing Tai Shici, so for many generals, Liu Lan initially knew that they were games except for the smooth slip of one Lu and two Zhao, so he may have some understanding of their lives, but he doesn't know what happened in the real history.
Of course, he is still clear about some famous historical events after all, and at this moment, Yuan Shu will obviously be destroyed in advance, and the edict did not appear in the same period, of course, there is also the grudge between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, but Liu Lan knows that if Yuan Shao does not send troops, then Cao Cao must eliminate Zhang Xiu at all costs after eliminating Yuan Shu, so as to ensure the safety of his rear, and at that time he will consider choosing between himself and Yuan Shao again.
How to choose, how to choose, Liu Lan couldn't think of it, just like he thought that Cao Cao was a real hero and Liu Biao was a cunning traitor, a hypocrite and a shameless man, everything had changed, Cao Cao became Yuan Shao's horse boy, and he was the head of the horse, so when Wen Hui sent the letter from Jizhou, he knew how to choose.
Turning against Yuan Shao means turning against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, and even some threats that he can't see, and turning against Cao Cao, Cao Cao is the only one, how to choose, the one who knows the times is Junjie, Liu Lan made the right choice without even thinking about it.
Even if Xuzhou has the ability to defend against Yuan Cao, he has no ability to fight back, he is about to collapse, fighting is to fight money, food and population, whoever has a thick foundation can have the last laugh, obviously Liu Lan has consumed his family in the three battles of Xuzhou, of course, compared with these two princes, Liu Lan is actually a little worse than Yuan Shao, because he still has some soft power behind him.
The Zhen family and the Mi family supported him, before Liu Lan could rely on Xuzhou's family background to do whatever he wanted, and now in order to defend Guangling, he had to use Mi Zhu again, of course, he also knew that these two people were shrewd politicians, but to put it bluntly, they were still cunning businessmen, and they understood what a strange commodity could live in, not to say that Zhen Yu was like giving help when he was not yet promising, even if it was Mi Zhu, he had already expressed his willingness to go bankrupt to support himself.
Can Liu Lan not understand what they mean, just like the family in Jizhou, they have their own political demands, these supports are easy to pick up, but they can be used to tie their hands, so Liu Lan has not been in favor, he is afraid, afraid that they will be difficult to get out, like Zhu Yuanzhang got rid of Shen Wansan.
He has been struggling to support, and now he has finally compromised, he has the support of the Mi family and Zhen Jiangliang's wealthy family, although Liu Lan said that this is all borrowed and will definitely be repaid after the war, but their purpose has been achieved, this is a drop in the bucket for the two families, and what they need is not even their own gratitude.
There is only one thing they have to do and show to themselves, that is, loyal ministers, Liu Lan didn't figure it out until they didn't want anything, and even tore up the IOU they forced on them after they went back, if the two of them just tore up the documents alone, then maybe there are other reasons for this, but at the same time, they tear it up, and there is no discussion but there is such a tacit understanding, then there is a big reason for this.
This is also the final conclusion he came to that they want to show their loyalty, not to make themselves grateful for their help in difficult times, no, their vision is not so low, they are now almost fully supporting themselves, more unconditionally than anyone else.
Give whatever you want, even if you go bankrupt, it doesn't matter, because they have already gotten on their own boats, and they can't get off, compared with other officials, the two of them have no choice, why Liu Lan succeeds in making them relatives, or they will be wiped out with Liu Lan, and in the end, none of them will end well.
In fact, Zhen Yu had already thought of a way out, the second followed Liu Lan, he stayed in Jizhou to help Yuan Shao, and when the time came, the third child was placed with other princes, and in the end, no matter who sat in the world, the Zhen family was indispensable to glory and wealth, which is the consistent style of all families, but in the end, it was a mistake, and even the Zhen family moved to Xuzhou.
Wuji's entire 100,000 acres of fertile land was disposed of after coming to Xuzhou, and Liu Lan used 100,000 mu as a return at will, but no one in the Zhen family accepted this feeling, Zhongshan's fields are all rich land, and Xuzhou, how to compare, and then the Zhen family can hire tenant farmers in Zhongshan and always cultivate their family's land, but in Xuzhou, it has become wasteland.
Coming to Xuzhou, for the Zhen family, in addition to avoiding Yuan Shao's revenge, he did not get the corresponding benefits, and even with the loss of Xuzhou, he, the largest landlord in Xuzhou City, had to flee far away, but the land of Xuzhou has become a wasteland, and the next time he wants to regain the land, he may not know when.
But the big construction of Moling, Liu Lan's crazy and bold courage made the Zhen family finally slow down, and followed, and in the end, the worst thing was that he was also a rich man, not to mention that Liu Lan in order to compensate for the two of them, has handed over all the textile factories, garment factories and other factories to the two, at this time, Liu Lan, who could not continue to support the battle, thought of his uncle and buddy, there are two people, there are two people who donate generously, in this world, Liu Lan is really not afraid of anyone, even if he is an enemy of all the princes, it doesn't matter, there are two people with financial support, this is his reliance, It is also a point that other princes cannot compare.
In the past, Liu Lan was unwilling, he wanted to change everything by himself, but now he doesn't want to, in Xu Shu's words, since he has this condition, why suffer for himself, in fact, think about it, why not, don't give the two of them real power, let them go into business, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to serve themselves, is it because they don't spend a penny on them, and they lose in the end, and everyone is finished together?
He figured it out, whether it was the Zhen family or those old subordinates who started by themselves, to put it bluntly, everyone was actually in the same boat for a long time, and everyone was prosperous and lost. It's also people with you, isn't the picture above a glorious ancestor and a cute descendant.
Liu Lan finally realized that he had been a little too naïve in the past, so when the money and food were tight, he completely listened to the persuasion of the narrative and recognized the theory that he did not agree with before, he was lucky enough, after all, the Zhen family and the Mi family have always been willing to give generously to him, if there was such a family to donate generously to him during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then what kind of Sang Hong sheep would there be, let alone any salt and iron monopoly.
Liu Lan didn't have any guarantees, and he didn't even give the two of them a gesture, but nothing is more effective than any expression in the hearts of the two, and it will always be more reassuring for the two of them to remember it in their hearts than to put it in their mouths, not to mention that they are still in-laws, they are in-laws, is there a more intimate relationship than this?
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always emphasized the friendship of brothers, when it comes to closeness, can they compare with themselves? In other words, even if Gao Zu is reincarnated, even if he cleans up the heroes, it is also this group of soldiers, people like them, there is no threat, but they have to be used, even if they unload the mill and kill the donkey, they will not be given a way to live, and they can be a rich man in peace and security at the worst.

At the same time, when the letter reached Yuan Xi's hands, he couldn't wait to go to Yecheng, although he was not transferred back to Yecheng, but because of the special mission he lived in the post house after arriving in Yecheng, waiting for his father's summons, but when he lived in the post house at the same time, Yuan Shang's people found him and conveyed the order, ordering him not to live in the post house, but to go home to live directly.
My father went to the plains a few days ago and will return in a few days, but my mother misses him very much, and I can't wait to see him after hearing that he arrived in Yecheng, but Yuan Xi finally refused to go to Yuan Shang's kindness, and did not go to see his mother, he had to wait for his father to return at the post house.
Yuan Xi didn't expect this to be such a situation, but he could guess that there might be a reason why he was a good brother in this, so his mother was used by him, so if he really returned to the General's Mansion, then when his father came back, he would be used by someone with a heart, and even if he had great merit at that time, he would be speechless.
He didn't see the cold glint in the envoy's eyes at the moment he turned around, but his eyes were shining, and he immediately stayed in the post house, and the envoy returned all the way to the general's mansion, went to see Yuan Shang, and watched him hurriedly walk out, although he didn't see the figure of the second brother, but Yuan Shang still asked about the situation after hesitating.
The messenger said everything that happened in the post house, the words were very difficult to hear, he didn't expect the second brother to say so much, the misunderstanding of him was so deep, no matter what, he is now the Marquis of Ye, his father is not in the prison country, equivalent to the prince, he released so good intentions, it is entirely because of his mother, if it were not for the mother who wanted her son, he would never accept his mother's request, but he agreed, and finally the second brother refused, he was angry, very angry:" Did he just say in front of everyone that he was afraid that I would harm him? ”
These words were for the messenger, not for himself, but for the people of the world and for his mother, and he wanted to send someone to arrest him and ask him why he had slandered himself so much, but in the end he sighed, "Okay, you stand down!" ”
If he really did this, his mother would not forgive him, his father would not spare him, and the people of the world would also puncture his backbone, his father's earnest teachings are still in his ears, he will never be fooled, and he will not give anyone the truth, if he really sends someone over, that is the situation that the second brother would like to appear now.
"Hmph, you want me to arrest you, I don't, you want me to kill you, I don't want to kill, I will never kill you in the future, I will ground you, don't you like to stay in the post house, then I will let you stay in the post house forever!" He turned around and walked out of the council hall as he spoke, although these words were from the heart, but they were more angry words, after all, he was still too young, easy to be impulsive, and in two or three years, it would be much better.
In addition to the council room, Yuan Shang went to the back house to see his mother, although he was very angry, but when he saw his mother, he was still very well-behaved to help his old mother, who was nearly fifty years old, knead her shoulders, as tired as a child.
"Where's your second brother?"
He didn't want to come, after all, the second brother is different from the past, he is the assassin of Youzhou, the son of his mother, and the assassin appointed by his father. Yuan Shang not only said half a bad word about his second brother in front of his mother, but also kept excusing him, which made his mother very moved, seeing their brothers love each other so much, it can be said that this is the scene that all mothers in the world want to see the most.
"Alas, since your second brother doesn't want to come to see his mother, then let him be, when he meets your father, it's not too late to come to see his mother." Although his mother didn't seem to be any different, when he said this, he could see that his mother was still a little uncomfortable.
