Chapter 351: Strong Yuan Shu
According to the original Taifu Yuan Kui's design, let Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao two brothers first occupy Nanyang County and Runan County respectively, which are two large territory, large population, and very rich two counties, and then based on the two counties, Yuan Shu first occupied Jingzhou, then plotted Yangzhou, Yuan Shao first occupied Yuzhou, and then plotted Yanzhou, and finally the two joined forces to attack Sili from two directions, expel Dong Zhuo, and complete his grand plan.
In order to successfully achieve this purpose, Taifu Yuan Kui made detailed and careful arrangements.
Yuan Yi had already been arranged to be Taishou in Shanyang County, Yanzhou, so that he could assist Yuan Shao in occupying Yanzhou in the future; Yuan Yin was also sent out to guard Danyang County in Yangzhou early, and assisted Yuan Shu in occupying Yangzhou in the future.
In order to let Yuan Shu easily take Jingzhou, Taifu Yuan Kui arranged it perfectly, taking advantage of the contradictions between Sun Jian and He Jin's faction, and bringing the aggrieved Sun Jian into his own camp in advance, at this time, Sun Jian was needed to help complete Yuan Shu's plan to control Jingzhou.
Yuan Shu was previously appointed as a general by the imperial court, and he only led the Yuan family's headquarters and troops to Luyang City; There are also some soldiers and horses who were taken by Ma Teng to surrender to the imperial court, and now he urgently needs external forces to strengthen his power; Besides, if there is no territory, it will be difficult for him, a post-general, to do anything.
Sun Jian was at odds with Dong Zhuo as early as when he exterminated the rebels in Liangzhou, and suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo, but due to the complex interests involved, Zhang Wen politely refused.
The great feats of real swords and guns were actually sent to a barbarian land far away from the Central Plains because of the chaos of the district star thieves in Changsha that needed to be exterminated, which made Sun Jian hold back his belly.
Yuan Shu received a secret order from his uncle and immediately sent a letter to Sun Jian, ordering him to lead his troops to the north, under the guise of dealing with Dong Zhuo, to help the Yuan family achieve their grand goals; When Sun Jian was asked to go north, he would remove Wang Rong, the assassin of Jingzhou, by the way, so as to create conditions for Yuan Shu to successfully occupy Jingzhou.
Yuan Shu can't be allowed to lead his army, or let the troops of Nanyang County attack Jingzhou Assassin Shi, and morally, I'm afraid that even Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi will not support it.
Sun Nugran lived up to the expectations of the Yuan family, went all the way north, saw the Buddha and killed the Buddha, saw people kill people, and killed Jingzhou Assassin Shi Wang Rong and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi two court officials.
Taifu Yuan Kui's secret order must be high-sounding, holding high the banner of justice, fanning the wind and lighting the ghost fire, as long as you say that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, is Dong Zhuo's person, you can kill him, it is enough. In short, without the support of Taifu, Sun Jian would not dare to kill in vain no matter what.
After Zhang Zhi was laid out to Nanyang first, after completing the historical task of welcoming Yuan Shu to Nanyang, he became a redundant figure, hindering Yuan Shu from making full use of the manpower and material resources of Nanyang County, and has become an abandoned son of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu secretly ordered Sun Jian to get rid of Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi.
When Sun Jian led several troops to Nanyang County, Taishou Zhang Zhizhi heard that Sun Jian's army had arrived, and he was calm.
Insist on the ox wine ceremony, and the consultation will also answer tomorrow; Both of them are from the Yuan Shu camp, and Zhang Zhi has no doubt about it.
On the second day, drunk, the Changsha master book entered the account and said to Sun Jian: "Move forward to Nanyang, and the road is not governed, and the military funds are not available, please ask Taishou to ask the reason." ”
Zhang Shi was afraid to go; Sun Jianbing was around, and Zhang Zhi was not allowed to come out.
After a while, the main book re-entered the big account and suggested to Jian: "Nanyang is too guarded to stop the volunteers, so that the thieves will ask from time to time, please accept the case and engage in military law." Sun Jian agreed.
The lord Bo then led Zhang Zhi to the military gate to behead him; The county was shocked, and everything was wanted.
Sun Jian killed two people in a row, captured a lot of booty, and at the same time fulfilled Yuan Shu's orders, so that Yuan Shu successfully occupied Nanyang County and began to plot against Jingzhou, which was a win-win cooperation.
Similarly, without Taifu Yuan Kui's secret order, Sun Jian did not dare to kill the people in Yuan Shu's camp, and after Sun Jian killed Zhang Zhi, he plunged into Yuan Shu's arms, and Yuan Shu not only did not hold Sun Jian responsible, but also promised a higher official position than Taishou.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was named the southern capital, respected as the emperor's township, the economic capital of the world, still belonged to the Jingzhou Department, and Nanjun was bounded by the Han River; Nanyang County governs Wancheng, with 37 counties and a population of 2.4 million, making it the largest county in the world.
The occupation of Nanyang County gave Yuan Shu sufficient money and food to support the army.
At the same time, there was also Yuan Yin, the Taishou of Danyang County, who had already prepared, and after receiving the secret order, he led his troops to Nanyang County to make peace with Yuan Shu.
Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers.
Taifu Yuan Kui valued this, so he arranged for Yuan Yin to serve as the Taishou in Danyang County, which could provide the Yuan family with a steady stream of elite soldiers, plus the wealth of Jingzhou, I believe that Yuan Shu can do a lot of work.
After Wang Rong, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed, Yuan Shu immediately wrote a book, claiming to be the pastor of Jingzhou.
The Yuan family moved later, but they acted quickly, killing Jingzhou Assassin Shi and Nanyang County Taishou in succession, occupying Nanyang County, plotting against Jingzhou, and shocking the government and the opposition, which was something that had never happened in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Those scholars were even more ashamed of the Yuan family's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
And Sun Jian and Yuan Yin quickly marched to Nanyang County, and the fools would know that they were here to deal with Dong Zhuo, how could Dong Zhuo let them get their wish? Moreover, as early as when he was in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo had a life-and-death enmity with Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo would not let Sun Jian go, let alone let Sun Jian's Yuan Shu easily achieve his goal.
Li Ru knew that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family had extensive influence among the scholars, and if they were allowed to control the military power and control the place, they would be even more strengthened, and such a thing must not be allowed to happen.
After Dong Zhuo discussed with Li Ru, he wrote to Liu Biao, a member of the royal family, to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and directly rejected Yuan Shu's letter; Dong Zhuo dominated the imperial court, and Taifu Yuan Kui could not do anything about it.
Liu Biao, born in 142, the word Jingsheng, a native of Gaoping, Shanyang County (now Weishan, Shandong), a clan and a celebrity in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and after Liu Yu, the king of Lugong in the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao is more than eight feet long, with a gentle and majestic appearance, and was well-known in the world when he was young, and was ranked among the "Eight Handsome". After the second disaster of the party, he was the general He Jinpi, and after the death of the general, he threw himself to Dong Zhuo.
For this appointment, Liu Biao was full of gratitude to Dong Zhuo in his heart.
The imperial court appointed Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou, which made the Yuan family's plan fail, and the Yuan family even counted this hatred on Liu Biao, and after that, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao fought for Jingzhou for several years.
At this time, Yuan Shu can be described as a strong soldier, how can he endure being so humiliated by Dong Zhuo? So, he raised his troops and horses, marched towards the sour jujube, and announced his participation in the alliance.
This increased the number of princes of the alliance to ten, Yuan Shu served as the rear general and was listed as the eighth prince, Sun Jian as the Taishou of Changsha County was regarded as the ninth prince, and Yuan Yin was the Taishou of Danyang County and was regarded as the tenth prince; This made the coalition even stronger.
Let the lord Bo Yanxiang sit in Wancheng, Nanyang County, and Yang Hong, the head of the general's mansion, accompany the army as a staff officer.
Yan Xiang is a very strategic person, he sees more clearly in many aspects, and has a long-term vision, and he is also a civil official who Yuan Shu is the best at shooting.
He was followed by the general Ji Ling.
Ji Ling, a native of Shandong, is the chief general under Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and the weapon used is a three-pointed two-edged knife weighing 65 catties.
Before and after Sun Jian's army was responsible for opening the road, Yuan Yin's army was responsible for the palace, Yuan Shu led the troops in the center, the army was mighty, the armor was distinct, and it was not majestic.
