Chapter 236: Yuan Shao's Secret
Jizhou, Bohai County.
Yuan Shao sat in the Taishou Mansion very sullenly, or indignant! As long as he thinks of what has happened in the past few months, Yuan Shao is full of resentment in his heart, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's sudden stepping, after he killed all the eunuchs to take revenge, with his merits and the prestige of their Yuan family, it would be a very simple matter to control the government!
It's just that in the end, he still missed a move and lost to the powerful Dong Zhuo.
Thinking about the high spirits when he had just returned to Luoyang from Mount Tai to recruit troops, Yuan Shao was even more unhappy in his heart, he happened to meet Dong Zhuo's two armies, and his subordinate Bao Xin once put forward his opinion: "Dong Zhuo has strong troops, ill-intentioned, if you can't take measures as soon as possible, you will fall into passivity, if you take advantage of his long-distance march, Shi Ma is tired, and launch a surprise attack, you can also capture him." But Yuan Shao saw that Dong Zhuo's soldiers were strong and strong, and he was afraid that his newly recruited men and horses were not opponents, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
But afterwards, Yuan Shaocai regretted it, when he met Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, who was in a hurry, only had less than 5,000 cavalry in his hands! With this amount, Yuan Shao believed that with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he could completely defeat Dong Zhuo, who was captured, and now he was the one who sat in Luoyang City and gave orders to the world! But if you miss it, you miss it, and Yuan Shao doesn't think about it anymore.
What made him feel unacceptable the most was that when he went to see Dong Zhuo, who had already gained a foothold in Luoyang, his majestic and invincible appearance deeply stimulated his already resentful heart! To this day, Dong Zhuo's rebellious words that he will never say are still ringing in his mind: "The lord of the world should choose a virtuous person." Liu Wei is too weak and not suitable to be the master, and my father looks at Liu Xie as if he is not bad, and wants to make him emperor. If it doesn't work, there is no need for the descendants of the Liu family to stay! ”
Yuan Shao, who just wanted to be a powerful minister, heard that Dong Zhuo not only called the name of the current emperor, but also dared to abolish it on his own, how could Yuan Shao endure this? After forcibly scolding Dong Zhuo with anger, Yuan Shao left in style! Such heroic deeds were also recited by the world, and they laid the foundation for the future of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo and elect him as the leader of the alliance.
Although he has gained a good reputation, until today, Yuan Shao remembered that day's thrilling throw was his heart beating wildly, and he was almost so close that he really wanted to sacrifice his life for righteousness and serve the Han Dynasty! He didn't want to die yet, and his strong sense of survival supported him, and he went through a lot of setbacks to escape!
On that day, Yuan Shao naturally did not dare to stay in Luoyang for a long time after Dong Zhuo, so he hung the talisman issued by the imperial court on the upper east gate, and fled to Jizhou all the way, for fear that Dong Zhuo would send troops to chase and kill him.
As Yuan Shao expected, sure enough, after he fled, Dong Zhuo ordered him to be arrested, and recently, he was just one moment away from being arrested! He was so frightened that during that time, he only dared to sleep during the day and rush at night, not taking the main road, only taking the small road. But what made Yuan Shao feel strange was that he found that the pursuers were gone, and he escaped smoothly!
It wasn't until later that Yuan Shao learned the reason, and someone persuaded Dong Zhuo at that time: "Abolishing a major event is not something that ordinary people can understand." Yuan Shao didn't know the general situation, so he was afraid to run away, not because he had other meanings. If he is too hastily arrested, it will inevitably provoke an incident. The four generations of the Yuan family have spread kindness, and their protégés and former officials are all over the world. If Yuan Shao recruits heroes and pulls up the team, the heroes will take advantage of the situation, at that time, Kanto may not be under the control of Ming Gong, so it is better to pardon him and give him a county guard, then, he is glad to be exempted, and he will not cause trouble. ”
Yuan Shao is still very grateful to the person who spoke for him in his heart, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that now he himself is already on the ground, how can he still be the Taishou of Bohai and the Marquis of Yixiang?
In the final analysis, the whole thing is not Yuan Shao's good luck and Dong Zhuo's benevolence, but Yuan Shao was born in a good family, if it weren't for the fame of the Yuan family he belonged to and the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, and it was a big family in Hebei, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would not be enough for Dong Zhuo to kill even if he had nine lives!
Although Yuan Shao has now arrived in Bohai County, which is thousands of miles away from Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao still has relatives, he is afraid that Dong Zhuo will secretly send someone to kill him, so now Yuan Shao will leave the Taishou Mansion guarded by heavy troops except for necessary things, and the rest of the time, Yuan Shao will not leave the gate of the Taishou Mansion at all!
In fact, Yuan Shao was too worried, Dong Zhuo was now busy enjoying the good taste of holding power, how could he take Yuan Shao, who was no threat to him, to heart? With this time, he might as well spend his time molesting the harem concubines. Dong Zhuo is so blessed that he can't walk now, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and his goal is to be pampered all over again!
"Gao Ran, where is it?" Yuan Shao, who had finished handling Bohai's affairs in the room, shouted out.
"Master Hou, my subordinates are here!" Hearing Yuan Shao's call, Gao Lan, a subordinate general whom Yuan Shao had always trusted, walked in.
"Gao Ran, have you found out the identity of the person watching outside? Was it sent by Dong Zhuo? Since coming to Bohai County, it didn't take long for Yuan Shao to find that there were more people around his mansion who had been monitoring him, because it was still unclear who was spying on him, and Yuan Shao did not dare to give the order to kill. The feeling of aggrieved filled Yuan Shao's heart, if someone dared to act like this to him before, he would have killed them all a long time ago!
"Master Hou, the specific identities of those people outside have not been clarified for the time being, but what is certain is that it is definitely not the thief Dong Zhuo's people, but it seems to be Jizhou Mu Hanfu's subordinates." Gao Ran bowed his head slightly and said, after checking for nearly half a month, he still gained a lot, at least he can be sure that he is not a Dong thief!
Hearing Gao Ran say that he was not Dong Zhuo's person, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, as long as it wasn't Dong Zhuo's people, he didn't have to worry that the secret he was hiding would be discovered by Dong Zhuo, but what also surprised him was that it was possible that the person who was spying on him might be Jizhou Mu Hanfu? This made Yuan Shao puzzled, could it be that Han Fu was Dong Zhuo's person?
"Gao Ran, have you ever been sure that it is Han Fu's person?" Yuan Shao asked with a sinking face, if this matter is really related to Han Fu, then he must have a few more eyes, Han Fu is not a good person!
"Not sure, but at least eighty percent sure!" At present, there is no strong evidence to prove that it is someone sent by Han Fu, so Gao Ran can only answer like this.
Probably? I'm afraid this probability is not far from ten, Yuan Shao recovered his previous appearance, his eyes narrowed, thinking that he already had an idea in his heart.
"Gao Ran, you continue to investigate, pay close attention to whether Han Fu has a connection with Dong Zhuo, and inform Han Meng to step up preparations!"
"No!" Gao Ran, who had been ordered, retreated.
After Gao Ran left, Yuan Shao picked up the pen in his hand and continued to write the unfinished letter......
