Chapter 3: Morning Discussion
Pushing open the door, the half-foot-high threshold almost didn't trip Yuan Yao, but the blue and picturesque sky immediately attracted all his attention.
At this time, the sky has been bright, and under the background of a few wisps of white clouds, the sky is blue like a jewel, as if it can make people get a sense of satisfaction from it, and people are reluctant to look away from it.
Yuan Yao took a deep breath, as if he really smelled a "sweetness", but he estimated that he might be the only one who could experience this kind of happiness in this era.
As an only son, Yuan Yao was entitled to have a separate courtyard in the mansion.
The bluestone paving in the courtyard is clearly visible. The middle one is a little shallow, and it is the road that the master often walks; The two sides are slightly heavier, and it is the road that people often walk. There are still a few green seedlings outcropping in the cracks between the stones, but they have never been trampled on, proving that no one has ever walked crookedly. However, there is no mark on the ground who walks where, but the rules are made, but no one breaks them, which shows that the whole house is very self-disciplined.
Yuan Yao's destination is the main hall of Fuzhong, where Yuan Shu received his subordinates, located in the middle courtyard; There is also a front hall in the front yard, which is a place to receive visitors; The backyard is an inner house, a family residence, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, Yuan Yao's courtyard is here.
Along the way, there are blue bricks and green tiles, potted stone carvings, and a dazzling array of flowers. There are some things that Yuan Yao can find the answer in his head, and some don't know why, for example, he has no memory of why the tiles are green, and if it weren't for the fact that time does not allow, he wants to take down a piece and see what it is made of.
In this way, like a guest, half touring, half aftertaste, Yuan Yao finally walked to the main hall of the middle courtyard.
The hall was very wide, and Yuan Yao, who was already kneeling and sitting, and was still lingering, saw so many people, and hurriedly bowed mechanically and said, "I've seen all the princes, Yao, it's polite!" ”
"Childe is polite!" The whole house sang in unison.
The people here are all Yuan Shu's subordinates, and most of them have long followed Yuan Shu and belong to Yuan Yao's elders, so it is not an exaggeration to call Zhu Duke, and they only need to sit up straight and salute Yuan Yao in return.
Those of the same generation or low status need to get up and salute Yuan Yao, but there are only two or three people. The youngest of them attracted Yuan Yao's attention......
Yuan Yao easily knew who the other party was from his previous memories, and he was the son of Sun Jian, one of the princes of Dong Eighteen Road, Sun Ce, Sun Bofu.
Sun Jian's official position was originally subordinate to Yuan Shu, and after he died in Jingzhou, his subordinates were absorbed by Yuan Shu, so Sun Ce has been following Yuan Shu since he became an adult, and not long ago, he also won Lujiang County, which is backed by the Yangtze River, for Yuan Shu.
Before Yuan Shu, there were only Jiujiang County, where Shouchun was located, and Runan County, where Ruyang, the old nest of the Yuan family, was located. In other words, Yuan Shu's current territory only has three counties, one of which was taken by Sun Ce with his troops.
In Yuan Yao's previous memories, he had a very clear understanding of Sun Ce, that is, hate. Because every time Yuan Shu taught him, he always compared Sun Ce, saying that Sun Ce was the tiger son of the Sun family, and Yuan Yao was the dog of the Yuan family. Although this is a fact, Yuan Yao is reluctant to admit it, so he has never given Sun Ce a good face before.
However, now that Yuan Yao has another memory, his senses for Sun Ce are completely different, because he is very aware of Sun Ce's amazing achievements in the future. But this achievement should not be a good thing for Yuan Yao's identity.
As the founder of the later Eastern Wu, Sun Ce's ability is absolutely undoubted, but his rise can be said to be completely dependent on Yuan Shu. First, he gave soldiers to support him in his attack on Jiangdong, and after he was full-fledged, Yuan Shu suddenly became emperor again, giving Sun Ce an open and honest excuse to get out of Yuan Shu's control. Sun Ce's betrayal was definitely a fatal blow to Yuan Shu, and the original rear area suddenly became a place of hatred, and the strategic depth was completely gone.
But that's not happening yet......
Yuan Yao couldn't help but think, if Yuan Shu said that Sun Ce had not betrayed, what would the result be? With Sun Ce and other Jiangdong talents, coupled with a huge territory, will Yuan Shu, the short-lived emperor of the Zhong family in history, create another situation?
"Let's turn the person you hate the most into the person you value the most." Yuan Yao looked at Sun Ce and silently decided in his heart.
As if feeling watched, Sun Ce raised his eyes to look at Yuan Yao; Yuan Yao nodded kindly and smiled in return, but Sun Ce grinned a little unaccustomedly, nodded and closed his eyes.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came to attract everyone's attention, and a person outside the door walked towards the hall surrounded by guards. And the person who can walk like the stars holding the moon in General Zuo's Mansion can no one else except Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway, not even Yuan Yao.
Looking at the gradually clear figure outside the hall, two images of Yuan Shu suddenly appeared in Yuan Yao's mind: one was Yuan Shu who looked like a villain on TV; The other is a wise image with extraordinary bearing. The source of this relatively positive image is the memory of Yuan Yao's ontology. Obviously, Yuan Yao's memory is much more reliable than TV. Therefore, the loser who looked like an idiot and mentally retarded in later film and television dramas did appear in Yuan Yao's eyes as a generation of heroes in reality!
"Ministers, see the lord!"
As soon as Yuan Shu stepped over the threshold and entered the lobby, everyone stood up together to greet each other.
Yuan Shumu did not squint and went straight to the main seat in the hall, and the couch next to the main seat was the exclusive seat of Yuan Yao, who was the prince, and Yuan Yao was qualified to see the court alone, in order to show his different identities.
"The boy has seen his father!" Yuan Yao bowed 90 degrees to pay homage.
"Hmm!" Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Yao, there was no expression in his eyes, Yuan Yao was nervous for no reason, and secretly sighed that it seemed that he had been accumulating power for a long time......
After Yuan Shu sat down, he raised his hand and said "no courtesy" to everyone, and after everyone thanked them, they sat down in turn, and soon the lobby was quiet again.
Yuan Shu cleared his throat, looked around for a week, and then said, "There are two urgent reports that are very important in this morning's discussion, so you should be cautious. First, Wu Jing, the Taishou of Danyang, and Sun Ben, the commander appointed by the general, were expelled from Danyang by Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and now return to Jiangbei to standby; Second, in the end of the battle of Yanzhou, Cao Cao won, Lu Bu was defeated and retreated to Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and now Tunbing Pei County has become the gatekeeper of Xuzhou. Both of these matters are related to our military's strategy and need to be handled cautiously. ”
Yuan Shu paused, beckoned the guards to carry out a large screen, and on the screen was a large Han map, the pattern of the world appeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, and Yuan Yao's mind kept flashing the relevant information on the map......
As explained above, there are three counties in Yuan Shu's territory at this time, one of which is called Runan County, which belongs to Yuzhou, and is the place where the Yuan family is located in Henan in later generations; The remaining two counties are called Jiujiang and Lujiang, which belong to Yangzhou and are in Anhui in later generations. These two counties are also called Huainan area because they are south of Huaishui, and there are three counties in Huainan, and the remaining one county belongs to Liu Bei of Xuzhou, named Guangling County, close to Yuan Shu's territory.
Yuan Shu also has a neighbor, who is Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou assassin Shi that Yuan Shu just said. It's funny to say that Yuan Shu's previous official position was originally a post-general, which was sealed by Dong Zhuo when he was in chaos. After Li Wei and Guo Yan took control of the imperial court, they awarded Yuan Shuzuo the general to fake the festival and enter the Marquis of Yang Zhai. And knowing that Yuan Shu's territory is in Yangzhou, he has sealed a Han clan as the assassin of Yangzhou, this person is Liu Xuan, who obviously wants to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
Yuan Shu didn't want to be fooled, so he took the initiative to recognize Liu Xuan's official position, and ordered Wu Jing, the Taishou of Danyang, who he appointed, to help Liu Xiang enter Jiangdong. But the abacus played very well, and the result was obvious, Liu Miao didn't eat that, and now he was openly opposed to Yuan Shu, and expelling Wu Jing was equivalent to uprooting Yuan Shu's forces south of the Yangtze River, and if he wanted to attack Liu Xuan, he had to cross the Yangtze River first.
In fact, Yuan Shu also appointed a Taishou south of the Yangtze River, that is, Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin, but because Yuzhang is close to Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao also inserted a bar and appointed Zhuge Xuan as Yuzhang Taishou, and this person is also the uncle of the famous Zhuge Liang in the future.
The matter is not over, at the same time that the imperial court appointed Liu Xiang Yangzhou to assassinate the history, it also appointed Zhu Hao, the son of the current hussar general Zhu Jun, as the Taishou of Yuzhang. So at this moment, there are three Taishou in the small Yuzhang County, and Hua Xin, who was appointed by Yuan Shu, is the weakest, because Yuan Shu's forces are all in Jiangbei, and he can't help Hua Xin at all; Zhu Hao's official position is under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Assassin History, and he is also appointed by the imperial court, so he has Liu Xuan's help; Liu Biao not only has Jiangxia on land to help Zhuge Xuan, but the navy on the Yangtze River is still the dominant family in Jingzhou. So Yuzhang is now a dispute between Liu Biao and Liu Xuan, and there is nothing to do with Yuan Shu at all.
