Chapter 101: Yuan Shao's worries
Jizhou, Yecheng, the former Thorn History Mansion has now become Yuan Shao's office, since last year after defeating Gongsun Zhan, although Qingzhou, Bingzhou and other places still have Tian Kai, Zhang Yang and other warlords who hold military power still respect Gongsun Zhan, and even openly oppose themselves, but the overall situation of Jizhou has been decided, the rest is to digest it slowly, find an opportunity to clean up Gongsun Zhan, he can sit on the four northern states, and look at the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If you count the Yanzhou and Yuzhou controlled by Cao Cao, nearly half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty will fall under his control.
On this day, Yuan Shao was discussing the next plan with several of his strategists, Jizhou had all fallen under control, Gongsun Chan had just been frustrated, and the battle of Baimayi from the boundary bridge outside the Weizhen was almost completely destroyed, which was no longer enough evidence, Yuan Shao was thinking about the next policy, which way he should develop.
"The lord is now in a big trend, it is time to split the void, take the land of Qingxu, and then join forces with Cao Cao to suppress Yuan Shu, and then return to the division to destroy Gongsun Zhan, then the thirteen states in the world, most of which belong to the lord, can be accomplished." Guo Tu smiled and commented on the current situation, looking like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, which was very capable of bluffing.
"Hmm~" Yuan Shao twisted his beard, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, all along, Yuan Shu did not suppress him because of his identity as a son-in-law, and almost all the resources of the Yuan family fell on Yuan Shu, the two most populous counties in the world, one Nanyang and one Runan, were inherited by Yuan Shu.
Don't look at Yuan Shao's strength now, in fact, at the beginning, Yuan Shao only had one Bohai County, if it weren't for Han Fu's weakness, he took Jizhou lightly, and defeated Gongsun Zhan, at this moment, how could he have such power? But in this way, the results of his efforts over the years are only barely on par with Yuan Shu, Nanyang, Runan, a thirty-seven counties, a thirty-six county, such as Xiliang and Jiaozhou, the two states together are not comparable to a county, and the population is even more covetous even to the current Yuan Shao, even if it is compared with the land of Jizhou and one state, in terms of population resources, it is only barely on par with Yuan Shu, of course, if you can control all the four states in the north, the situation will be different.
Every time he thinks of this, an unspeakable grievance rises in Yuan Shao's heart, although the descendants are different, but the gap is too big.
"Lord, I secretly think that now Jizhou is determined, Gongsun Zan is still dominant in Beiping, Liu Yu is afraid that he is not his opponent, Qingzhou, and Zhou still have Tian Kai, Zhang Yang's generation of stubborn resistance, and more Montenegrin thieves are making trouble, the so-called outside must first settle inside, the top priority is not to expand outward, but to consolidate themselves, and when the internal is calm, Fang is the day when the soldiers are headed." Xu You shook his head and glanced at Guo Tu with disdain, although he was also a scholar from Yingchuan, but in Xu You's opinion, this Guo Tu was clearly a vain name, and he only knew a sycophant.
"What Ziyuan said is not unreasonable." At this moment, although Yuan Shao had begun to swell after defeating Gongsun Zhan, his mind was still quite clear, and when he heard this, he calmed down a little in his heart, and nodded silently.
"Has the lord ever paid attention to Cao Cao?" Tian Feng, who had never spoken on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Mengde?" When Yuan Shao heard this, his complexion suddenly became not very good-looking.
Although at present, Cao Cao is still attached to Yuan Shao, but since a few months ago, Cao Cao directly crossed Yuan Shao and led Yanzhou Mu to the imperial court, although he didn't say anything on the surface, but Yuan Shao has already planted a pimple in his heart, although this matter was originally after Yuan Shao rejected Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked the court for Yanzhou Mu, but Cao Cao really did this, but Yuan Shao had nothing to do with it, and the relationship with Cao Cao began to be as close as before.
"What's wrong with him?" Yuan Shao snorted and said with some displeasure.
"The lord must not underestimate this person." Tian Feng bowed and said: "This person has the image of a hero, in the past, when his strength was insufficient, he was still respectful to the lord, but now, first collected 300,000 yellow turbans in Qingzhou, and then obtained the position of Yanzhou pastor from Liu Dai, the lord refused his request for Yanzhou pastor, originally worried that Cao Cao would sit big, but Cao Cao openly and directly asked the rebellious ministers in the court to get the position of Yanzhou pastor, no matter what the reason is, now that Cao Mengde does have the qualifications equal to the lord, don't be careful!" β
"With him?" Yuan Shao snorted in his nose and sneered: "Yuan Hao can't help but look up to him too much." Although they were friends in the past, they had always been stronger than Yuan Shao, and at this moment, Tian Feng praised Cao Cao, and he felt a little unhappy.
Tian Feng frowned slightly when he heard this, he had a feeling that if he despised this person, he might suffer a loss in the future, and he wanted to mention it again, but was interrupted by Feng Ji who came in in a hurry.
"My lord, there's new news from Chang'an." Feng Ji hurriedly walked in and sent a copy of the list to Yuan Shao: "This is the notice that the envoy of Chang'an just posted in the city, and the minister tore it off without authorization." β
Although the princes are divided, but the imperial court is sent out to post the list in each county, and the princes cannot stop it casually, in that way, it is openly against the imperial court, although the imperial power of the Han Dynasty has fallen, and the princes have become divided, but the royal family is still there, for the sake of a list, it refutes the face of the court, not only is it a little unreasonable, but also in the general righteousness, it is easy to be honest.
"Oh?"
Yuan Shao took the list and frowned: "I heard that Li Dao Guo Yan has been killed by His Majesty, and His Majesty has now returned to the government, but I don't know what he wants to do this time?" β
It would be naΓ―ve to want to take back the rights.
Yuan Shao sneered in his heart and thought to himself, but in his heart, he was thinking about how he would refute the face of the imperial court if this was the case.
His eyes swept over the list of lines, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he handed the list text to Xu Yu beside him: "After March, Chang'an will set up a ring and invite the world's warriors to Chang'an, and select the best to record?" Why did the imperial court issue such an example? β
Yuan Shao didn't believe that Liu Xiewei was simply fighting against the Huns.
"It's not hard to understand." Xu You smiled and said: "Although the Son of Heaven is in power at the beginning, but the military power in Guanzhong is still in the hands of the Xiliang warlords, in order to break the control of the Xiliang warlords over the military power, His Majesty summoned the world's fierce generals to enter the court, first, to consolidate the imperial power, and secondly, to please rely too much on the Xiliang army, behind this Son of Heaven, there must be capable people to give advice to him." β
After all, Liu Xie is not yet eleven years old now, but Xu You doesn't believe that Liu Xie can come up with such a strategy.
"That's not all!" After reading the list text, the frustrated professor on the side frowned and said, "Do you think this list is familiar?" β
βοΌβ Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and after Tian Feng read the list text, he looked up at everyone: "King Yanhui Jintai worships the general?" β
"I think this move is similar!" He said in a deep voice.
"Then why only seek fierce generals, but not talents, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?" Guo Tu was puzzled, this is also what Yuan Shao wanted to ask.
"As Ziyuan said, one is to suppress the generals of Xiliang, and the other is to avoid causing resistance to the family, after all, as soon as this order comes out, the cold doors of the world will inevitably flock to, and now His Majesty is in charge of the court, regardless of the foundation, if you recruit the world's wise men, you will inevitably shake the foundation of the family, and will be unanimously resisted by the Guanzhong family. In the end, Fu Zhu looked at Yuan Shao and said in a deep voice: "The lord should prepare early!" β
