Chapter 263: Majestic (I)
Nanyang County and Wancheng were built for the Xia, Zhou and Qin dynasties, and were very prosperous in the Han Dynasty.
Dating back to the Xia Dynasty, Wan was once the capital of the Xia Dynasty, and in the Western Han Dynasty, Wan was one of the five major metropolises in the world. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was the second largest city in China as the accompanying capital, and in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, this city located in the heart of the world's famous and wealthy land became the largest city in the world.
The so-called earth spirit masters, such a city has countless capable people.
Scribes and the like, with Yuan Shao Cao Cao's old iron Xu You, medical saint Zhang Ji Zhang Zhongjing, etc., and the generals are even more amazing, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Wen Ping and Deng Ai ...... of Shu, all of them are top talents in this luxury lineup!
It's just that in this world, whether you are an outstanding person, or a treasure, where can there be a real peach blossom source.
"Huh! It's all light! This is the young master, I finally asked Yulang to come to the pair, I have a share, the lord has a share, and there is no one else in the world! β
"I heard that this 'Jade Lian' is already a festive thing that every household in Wuji City has to post for the New Year......" The person muttered softly.
"Uh," the young master was about to say something to show off the majesty of the head of the family, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly ran out of words-
"Just talk a lot, work hard! Want to know and ask for yourself! After reading the Wuji Times, I really think I am educated, joke! β
"Hahaha, Deng Axian, your Deng family is not the famous family of the year!" The family members echoed and laughed, and the brocade-robed young man walked around left and right, and walked out of the house and into the street with two followers.
β¦β¦
"Chuping, it's been four years."
"Yes, head of the house."
"How many times have you said it, call it young master!"
"Yes, young master......"
"You have to remember, young master, I am the young master of the Chang'an Wang family, not the head of the Nanyang Wang family."
"It's homeβyoung master!"
Some of the gloomy skies are gently falling with snowflakes, just like every normal winter day.
Wang Tang stretched out his hand to grab one, watching the white flower branches turn into flawless droplets, and there seemed to be a trace of crystal in his eyes.
In today's Chang'an, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou jointly control the government, appointing, dismissing, rewarding and punishing officials according to their preferences, and turning the court into a miasma. At the same time, they often plundered and plundered, and the people of Sanfu were miserable, life was worse than death, and the number of household registrations was lost.
Soon after Wang Tang left Chang'an, the Wang family was raided because his father angered Li Dao in the court, and his parents were small and there were few survivors.
This incident was quite sensational for a while, everyone in the world knew that the Wang family was loyal and good, and the Wang family was originally famous in Shilin, so Yuan Shu was very happy about Wang Tang's defection, and soon entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
And because Wang Tang himself is also a well-known young talent, and Zhang Yu, the first son of the world, who is talented and eight buckets, is called the Five Friends of the Bamboo Forest, and has a great relationship, which makes Yuan Shu, who also values fame, appreciate, so in less than a few months, Wang Tang's position has been rising, and he has become the youngest and most trusted think tank under Yuan Shu.
"In the past, there were five friends in the bamboo forest, and today four people are in Wuji. Isn't it the meaning of life to talk and joke with friends, drink and paint? Father, it's not like you don't know children......" Wang Tang shook his head, and the carriage went straight to the county guard's mansion.
The county guard mansion is naturally where Yuan Shu is. Nanyang County belongs to Jingzhou, but its population accounts for almost half of the population of Jingzhou, and Yuan Highway at this time is not weak at all.
Wang Tang stepped into the magnificent residence, and a housekeeper took the initiative to lead the way, he can be regarded as the hottest celebrity in Nanyang today, and he will naturally be taken seriously and treated specially.
This is not the first time Wang Tang has come to Yuan Shufu, on the contrary, he has come unusually frequently. But every time he came to this county guard's mansion, Wang Tang felt that its scale was a little too large, and even in those princes' mansions in Chang'an, it also had the effect of standing out from the crowd.
"My lord is very ambitious." Wang Tang thought in his heart, and gently knocked on the Zhu Door in front of him, "Lord, the hall is one step late, and I hope the lord will punish you!" β
"Hahaha, no delay, no delay, come, sit!" A handsomely dressed man with a thin face and a delicate goatee greeted with a smile.
It is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shu Yuan Highway.
Entering the house, Wang Tang suddenly felt warm and numb. The copper stoves at the four corners of the house are enough to ensure the appropriate temperature in the house, and the properly placed incense burner exudes an ethereal fragrance.
Wang Tang saluted the full house, and then sat down in the seat below Yuan Shu, in the same line as his nephew Yuan Yin.
"Today's banquet, one is to celebrate the first year of the year, and the other is to discuss with Zhu Qing where our army should go." Yuan Shu paused, slapped his hand, and there was a subordinate behind him who unfolded a huge picture scroll, which was a sketch of the Central Plains.
"Previously, there was an issue in the Wuji Times, which briefly commented on the princes of the world, which made a certain mouth open.
Yuhou's talent, you all know, he said that I now live in Jingbei, Yuzhou, but here in the northeast there is my Yuan family scum concubine Yuan Shao, eunuch after Cao Apu, in the south there are Liu Biao, Huang Zu is not restful, and in the northwest there are Li Dao, Guo Yan These Xiliang dog thieves, it can be said that the third line is enemy and geographically unfavorable, and the development is quite limited. β
"My lord, Yuhou's words are in agreement. Since the unfortunate death of General Wentai, the situation in our army has not been optimistic. In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to withdraw from Nanyang and return to the land of Jingchu, which may have the effect of breaking the cocoon and being reborn. β
"What a cocoon to be reborn!" Yuan Yin said with a smile, "Master Yan is really a person who does great things, and he will give up when he says Nanyang!" Dare to ask Master Yan, is there a richer county in this world than Nanyang?
As long as our army is located in Nanyang, we can always have the foundation that others cannot underestimate, even if the war is lost, there is still the ability to make a comeback. If Nanyang is abandoned, our army will be like a rootless tree and duckweed, and it is more likely that the foundation will be shaken in a war, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
No matter how resourceful he is, how can he live in the cabinet and guide the world? If this is the case, how could Yuan Shao let him be independent from the world? β
After listening to Yuan Yin's words, Yuan Shu nodded involuntarily, obviously what Yuan Yin said was not much different from what he thought. It's just that he himself can feel that now that the development of his forces has reached a bottleneck, what he wants is not to stay in one place, but to ...... The whole world!
"Wang Tang," Yuan Shu turned his gaze to the young figure, "What do you think, tell me about it." β
"Tang thought," Wang Tang smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Withdraw." β
"Where to retreat?"
"Fireworks in March, down Yangzhou!"
