"If I'm not mistaken, Wen Ruo's eldest son is named Yun, and the second son is named (rain), right?"

"Liu Sikong is meticulous."

"My eldest daughter Xiang'er, I want to marry Wen Ruo's second son Xun Mata, I don't know what Wen Ruo wants."

Yingchuan Xun clan is a famous family all over the world. The Xun family has many talented children, and Liu Mang wants to marry the Xun family, in addition to the intention of contacting the Yingchuan Xun family, he also has the idea of contacting Cao Cao from the side.

Among the children of the Xun family, Xun Yu and Xun You, who are the most famous, are all important aides of Cao Cao, and their marriage with the Xun family can directly affect Cao Cao's strategy of merging with the state.

Liu Manggui is the third prince of the auxiliary government and took the initiative to propose marriage, Xun Yu was of course willing, but he also had some concerns.

Xun's uncle and nephew were deeply relied on by Cao Cao. If he marries Liu Mang's children, will Cao Cao be suspicious?

"Liu Sikong is very honored...... Xun Yu hesitated, not knowing how to deal with it.

Liu Mang knew where Xun Yu's concerns were, and said with a smile: "If Wen Ruo doesn't agree to this marriage contract, I won't agree to the marriage contract with the Cao family." ”

"Uh...... So...... I can't ask for it......"

"Good!"

Liu Mang was in charge, attacked the daughter Xiang'er born to the people, and made a marriage contract with Xun Yu's second son Xun Yu. Wan'er's daughter, Mint, made a marriage contract with Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi.

Two children's family affairs in exchange for disaster relief food, this transaction is too unfair, right?

Even if Liu Mang was generous, Xun Yu felt embarrassed.

Disaster relief food is a big deal.

Liu Mang helped a lot, and Cao Cao always had to repay the favor.

And what Cao Cao can repay Liu Mang is his influence in Yuan Shao's camp.

After Xun Yu visited Liu Mang, he went to visit Sun Rui.

The three ministers of the auxiliary government have held several rounds of consultations, but it has been difficult to reach an agreement.

Xun Yu is the representative of Cao Cao, and he is currently the most famous person in the Yingchuan Xun family. Cao Cao and Xun Yu can influence a large number of people in Yuan Shao's camp, enough to influence Shi Sun Rui's final decision.

……

In order to fight for more benefits, Yuan Shao sent one thing to Luoyang - Gongsun Zhan's corpse!

Yuan Shao ordered to speed up the extermination of Gongsun Zhan, and the Jizhou army was trapped in the Tuyan city of Gongsun Zhan. Unleash wave after wave of fierce attacks.

Although the Beiping army resisted desperately, Tuyin City was eventually lost.

The general trend has gone, Gongsun Chan set a fire with his own hands and burned himself alive in his residence.

The White Horse General who once shocked the northern frontier. ended his life with a tragic act......

Liu Yu's death was caused by Gongsun Zhan's own hands.

The Luoyang court regarded Gongsun Zan as a traitorous minister.

Yuan Shao exterminated Gongsun Zhan and boasted of a great achievement. The charred corpse of Gongsun Chan was sent as a bargaining chip in the struggle for power in the imperial court.

……

Auxiliary Ministers and Three Ministers, meet again for consultation......

Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui, although they are not of the same heart as Liu Mang. However, the three also have a common purpose, that is, to avoid the resignation of the three princes at the same time.

After previous rounds of consultations, the three of them gradually converged on the same goal, seeking greater benefits for each side while defusing the crisis in the cabinet.

And Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui have been in the sea for a long time. They are well aware. The imperial court is on Liu Mang's territory, and Liu Mang has 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands. If you don't make some concessions to Liu Mang, it is likely that in addition to natural disasters, you will add **.

And the most sufficient reason for Liu Mang to refute the accusations of Yuan Shao's henchmen is that the locust plague is raging, and only the subordinates of the state division under my rule are exempt from its suffering. Why should I be held responsible for this natural disaster?

Liu Mang further stated that the state and the division are stable, and I Liu Mang not only has no fault, but has merit!

Liu Mang also emphasized that if the courtiers insisted on Yuan Shao as the first assistant. Yes, please come to Luoyang at the beginning!

Shisun Rui had already discussed with Yuan Shao's henchmen, and Yuan Shao came to Luoyang and came to Liu Mang's territory. No way.

Fighting for Yuan Shao's position as the first assistant is unrealistic, and it is not their goal. Using this as a bargaining chip to strive for more benefits is the goal.

After several hours of discussion, the auxiliary government of the three dukes. Finally agreed.

The pattern of the three public auxiliary governments remained unchanged, and Yang Biao, the first assistant lieutenant, gave up the position of the first assistant lieutenant to apologize for this catastrophe.

The three princes still maintain the situation that the family group represented by Liu Mang, Yuan Shao, and Yang each occupies a seat.

Liu Mang succeeded Yang Biao and served as the lieutenant, the first assistant, and the lieutenant of the commander.

Shisun Rui is still Situ, and Zhong Xuan, who has the closest relationship with Hongnong Yang, is the Sikong.

……

Under the three princes, there is Jiuqing.

Liu Mang, because of the status of first assistant, made concessions in the Jiuqing seat and only occupied two seats.

The eldest grandson Wuji succeeded Liu Mang and served as Wei Wei (both as Wei General), and Li Hongzhang served as Shaofu Qing, in charge of Shanhai's income and royal handicraft manufacturing.

For the rest of the seats in Jiuqing, Yuan Shao occupies three seats, namely Guangluxun, Taifu, and Dahonglu.

The family group represented by Yang Biao occupies three seats, namely Tingwei, Zongzheng, and Dasi Nong.

The other seat is Tai Changqing, the head of Jiuqing, which is held by Zhao Wen, who is neutral and the former Sikong.

The deputy positions and main subordinate officials of each temple are held by the three major forces and the neutral forces.

Some of Liu Mang's subordinates served in the temple, including:

Fang Xuanling served as the head of the Great Honglu Temple.

Guo Shoujing is a subordinate official of Taichangqing.

Zhang Xutuo and Gao Changgong are subordinate officials of Guanglu Xun.

Jia Siyun is the official of the Great Division.

Song Yingxing, Yu Wenkai, Li Daoyuan, etc. are subordinate officials of Shaofuqing.

Liu Bowen and Wang Meng respectively served as the head of the Taiwei Mansion and the Sili Lieutenant Mansion, and Du Ruhui, Wang Zhongsi and others served in the two mansions respectively.

……

In order to appease the Yuan Shao Group.

Yuan Shao continued to serve as a general, and his title was promoted from a marquis to a duke.

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, those who were awarded dukes, except for Confucius and Zhou Gongmiao, only the early princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao did not give him a real position, and his promotion to duke was the biggest concession that Liu Mang could make.

Hussar general, awarded to Cao Cao.

Che cavalry general, awarded to Liu Bei.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Shixie of Jiaozhou, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong are the ruling party of the fake festival. These princes were originally in charge of the military and political affairs of one side, and whether they were false or not had no direct impact on their power, but only showed the further recognition of their ruling position by the imperial court.

The princes of all parties who supported the Luoyang court all gained something.

Through the redistribution of power, the crisis caused by the locust plague gradually subsided.

……

The political crisis has eased temporarily, but the red flags exposed by this crisis are worth pondering.

Yuan Shao exterminated Gongsun Zan and unified the two states of Youji, and his momentum was even stronger.

In the imperial court, important ministers such as Sun Rui, who was originally inclined to neutrality, have made it clear that they support Yuan Shao.

Today, in the Luoyang Imperial Court, there is a three-legged trend of Liu Mang, Yuan Shao, and the Saga Group. And Yuan Shao's strength is undoubtedly the strongest.

The cart of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although old, is still huge.

Liu Mang is the first assistant, but it is impossible to drive this dilapidated and old giant car alone. Only by uniting more forces can we drive this old and heavy giant car along the route set by itself, and can we overcome the interference of other forces in the direction of progress.

And the forces that Liu Mang can unite are only the family group represented by Yang Biao and Zhong Xuan.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Wuji brothers and sisters came to find Liu Mang together.
