Yuan Shu and his entourage went through the battle of Juelongling and were famous all over the world, but Yuan Shu was relying on Xiaohong at this time. Zhang Zhi, who was far away in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, did make a difficulty, Dong Zhuo's intention was very clear, killing Yuan Shu, he could get rich, and if he didn't kill Yuan Shu, he would not be able to save his life. "Alas, it's hard." Zhang Shi sighed. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then when I looked up, I saw a young general running over, shouting "My lord, great joy," as he ran. "What a great joy, come quickly," "Tell your lordship, someone from Ximen reported that Yuan Shu's family will escort seventy-five carriages, as well as Yuan Shu's family, and go straight to Yuan Shu's old house, and the carriage is heavy, the small ones think they are all gold and silver, and there are many soldiers around the carriage, which shows its importance. "Oh, send someone to keep an eye on Yuan Shu's old house, if there is any situation, report it quickly, and send someone to invite General Wang, I have something important to discuss" Zhang Shi said. "No" said and went out.

After only a while, I saw a general in a soap robe come in from outside, and after this person met Zhang Shi, he said, "Taishou summoned me, what's the matter?" "Jiankang, Dong Xiangguo sent a letter saying that as long as I capture Yuan Shu alive, I will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and we will be crowned with ten thousand households, and we have many generals, Yuan Shu fled all the way, the soldiers are tired and the horses are tired, we have the power of the city wall, we occupy the heaven and the earth, I will get rid of it, you will have another soldier and horse from now on, besiege Yuan Shu's old house, don't storm it, and when I capture Yuan Shu alive, it's not too late to attack?" "No", Wang Jiankang was ordered to leave the Taishou Mansion.

At this time, Yuan Shu and his entourage should enter Nanyang County, breathing fresh air, with their heads resting on Xiaohong's legs, Yuan Shu looked up and saw Xiaohong's blushing face, and couldn't help but get up and kiss it. "Ah, Xiaohong was frightened, and she hid her head in Yuan Shu's arms and didn't dare to stretch it out. At this time, Yang Rong came to report, "Lord, we are only two days away from Nanyang City, do you want to take a break?" "Well, pass the order down, bury the pot and make food, and the whole army will rest for half a day and prepare for battle," Yuan Shu said. Yuan Shu thought to himself (it is said in the history books that Sun Jian killed Nanyang Taishou and defected to Yuan Shu, which shows that Nanyang Taishou has the intention of killing me), "Order the whole army, divided into two parts, Zhang Shan with two hundred cavalry and the remaining infantry archers, follow me to Nanyang City, Yang Rong, you take the rest of the cavalry, ambush, once the enemy pursues us, you will kill it, let's fight back and forth, kill him and turn his horse on his back," Yuan Shu said. "Lord, there are tens of thousands of defenders in Nanyang, it's too dangerous, let's lure the enemy from the end," Yang Rong said.

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "What they want is me, and we still have a strong reinforcement, don't worry about it, I haven't made a meritorious career, how can I die early, the general should prepare early, and kill the enemy with the technique." "No", Yang Rong replied, thinking to himself (who will be the reinforcement club?) ）。

"Report, tell the Taishou, the sentry cavalry came to report, Yuan Shu led the remnants of 1,000 soldiers to attack, according to Nanyang City less than 50 miles," the herald said. After hearing this, Zhang Shi was overjoyed and said, "Haha, the credit from heaven is on my head, how can I not take it, order the soldiers to gather, and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy." "No," the herald hurriedly replied. Three quarters of an hour later, Zhang Shi led more than 5,000 cavalry to kill Yuan Shu.

At this time, Yuan Shu on the other side, who was resting under the shade of the tree, opened his eyes and asked, "General Zhang, where is the enemy?" Zhang Shan looked in front of him and said, "Enemy Zhang Zhi, leading a large group of men and horses to attack, it is only a dozen miles away from us." After hearing this, Yuan Shu got up and said, "Everything is ready," "My lord, it's ready," Zhang Shan bowed his head and said. "Come, follow me to lure the enemy," Yuan Shu stood up and said. "No". The generals were ordered to go. Yuan Shu waited for a while, suddenly felt the earth tremble, and thought to himself (Damn, how many people are here) After a while, Yuan Shu looked up, his legs and stomach were weak, and the enemy was like a black cloud. And the enemy is outnumbered, and only by fighting against the water can we live chess.

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth, slapped his horse forward, and said loudly, "Who are you, you dare to stop me, I am Yuan Shu, the general of the Han Dynasty, do you want to rebel?" "I saw that the enemy troops on the opposite side were talking to each other, and there was some confusion. Zhang Zhi looked busy and said loudly, "Traitor Yuan Shu, I am Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, don't you know that the eight hundred miles of the Central Plains are all your bounty documents?" Yuan Shu thought to himself (hey, this word is so familiar, I robbed Cao Mengde's honor), and scolded loudly, "Dong thief, abolish the young emperor, kill the queen mother, be cruel and unkind, torture and coerce the public, indiscriminately kill innocents, rape the harem, conniving at your subordinates to kill, burn and loot lawlessly, as a Nanyang Taishou, you don't want to protect the territory and the people, and now you want to defect to the national thief?" Do you not know that my sword is sharp? ”。 Zhang Zhi became angry and shouted "kill". Yuan Shu left immediately as soon as he saw it, thinking to himself (I'll go, why don't you scold, labor and management haven't enjoyed it yet).

Yuan Shu led the troops to retreat quickly, but unfortunately the enemy horses were fast, tightly entangled, Yuan Shu was ruthless, leaving the foot archers broken, Yuan Shu escaped from the entanglement, and the rest of the hundred horses around him. led the troops to bypass the trap, only to see that the cavalry behind had arrived, and fell into the trap one after another, but unfortunately there were too many enemy troops and the trap was not enough. I saw Yuan Shu stop the war horse and shout, "The brave one in the battle between the two armies wins, kill." "The ambush soldiers are all out, the enemy army is in chaos, Zhang Zhi saw that he was ambushed, and he hurriedly integrated the remnants of the army and retreated to Nanyang. As soon as they withdrew from the battlefield, they saw an army in front of them, which had already surrounded them, and hurriedly said, "Who are you, and why are you stopping me?" ”

I saw a general from the enemy's battle formation, and said loudly, "I am Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Wen Er and others chased and killed Yuan Shu, the general Yuan, and came to rescue and kill (at this time, Sun Jian had already killed Wang Rong, so he had to defect to Yuan Shu). As soon as the army moved, Zhang Zhi was crushed. was captured alive by Sun Jian's general Zu Mao. At this time, Nanyang City also experienced a bloody battle, and General Zhang was besieging Yuan Shu's old mansion.

After Yuan Shu killed the remnants of Zhang Zhi's soldiers, he hurriedly led the troops in pursuit, and suddenly saw a battle general riding a horse galloping over, stopping the military horse and saying, "Who are you and why are you coming." "After the general, the junior general is Zu Mao, a subordinate of Changsha Taishou, my general has defeated Zhang Zhi, and the junior general captures Zhang Zhi alive." Zu Mao Road. "Okay, someone will follow me into Nanyang City." Yuan Shu laughed. "Yes," the generals replied.

At this time, Nanyang was already in chaos, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian joined forces, used Zhang Zhi to open the city gate, Yuan Shu collected prisoners, rectified the soldiers, and got more than 50,000 elite soldiers. Liu Biao was the Son of Heaven and ordered Yuan Shu to be the Taishou of Nanyang.

Yuan Shu and his entourage arrived at the barracks, Yuan Shu pulled out the sword, and was about to kill himself, fortunately the public will dissuade him, Yuan Shu said, "I carelessly underestimate the enemy, kill many brothers, and in the future, I will help the Han family, and now I will cut my hair and act as the head, and if I commit it again in the future, I will not be spared."

Yuan Shu left the barracks, let the family soldiers lead, and went straight to the old house. When I arrived at the old house, I saw that the blood stained the gate red, and the corpses were everywhere, and I hurriedly opened the gate, only to see a beautiful woman with many family members, waiting here, and seeing Yuan Shu coming over, the beautiful woman cried, "Husband, the concubine almost can't see you." Yuan Shu hurriedly took a step, picked up the beautiful woman, hugged her into her arms and said, "Madame is frightened, it's my fault that someone else came, kill Zhang Shi, and be angry for Madame." The "obedient" soldiers led the order to go out, and after a while, they came with Zhang Shiren's head. Yuan Shu saw it and hurriedly ordered someone to help his wife back to the house.

"Wang Dang, where is it?" Yuan Shu asked. "The end will be," Wang Dang knelt down and said, "Wang Dang, Yang Rong, Zhang Shan is meritorious, reward 100 taels of gold, and the soldiers under the tent will be rewarded with 10 taels of gold, 100 catties of meat, and Sun Jian will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold.

"Come to someone, send someone to post a notice to calm the people, and kill those who bully the people (Yuan Shu has a bad reputation, so he can only be strict) Come and get wine, I want to get drunk with you." "Nuo" went out of the column left and right, and led the order to leave.

In August of the sixth year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu, the general of the Han Dynasty, killed Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, occupied Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and accumulated capital for the future conquest of the world, "Later Han Book Records".

At this time, Wang Yun and Cao Cao in Luoyang City were discussing how to get rid of the thief, and Cao Cao said, "I heard that Wang Situ has a seven-star treasure knife, and I am willing to use this treasure knife to assassinate Dong Thief, and I hope Situ will succeed." Wang Yun knelt down and said, "Meng De is high-righteousness, I am not as good as it." Cao Cao borrowed the treasure knife and went to Xiangguo's Mansion at noon the next day. Cao Cao drew a knife while Dong Zhuo was sleeping and wanted to assassinate him from behind, but after Dong Zhuo found it on the mirror of the bed, he sat up, and Cao Cao immediately lied that he was offering a knife.

Then Lu Bu came, and saw that Lu Bu was stronger than him, and knew that he couldn't beat him, so he had to give up, and there was no follow-up.

Cao Cao had the intention of assassinating Dong Zhuo, but he was almost discovered by Dong Zhuo, so he had to pretend to offer a knife to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo gave him a good horse, and after Cao Cao thanked Dong Zhuo, he rode out of Luoyang and ran to Chen. Dong Zhuo was reminded by Lu Bu that he hurriedly sent people to pursue Cao Cao, and his whereabouts were not known, so he sent people to post an example, and the reward for catching Cao Cao was a thousand gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households was sealed. At this time, someone came to report, "Xiangguo, it's not good, Yuan Shu got Sun Jian's help, killed Zhang Shi, and entered Nanyang." Dong Zhuo said angrily after hearing this, "A bunch of waste, Yuan Shu in the front, Cao Cao in the back, everyone in the world is against the old man, and the old man must be killed." Li Ru listened and said, "You can use Liu Biao to contain Yuan Shu, if I guess well, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu will definitely go to the book to ask for officials in the next few days, and Xiangguo can respond to them one by one, and someone will clean up Yuan Shu from later." "Old man, listen to you", Dong Zhuo sighed after speaking.

At this time in Nanyang, Yuan Shu was worried (no generals, no talents, heartache) thought for a while, and heard that someone came to report that Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, and he fled to Chen Liu. Mao Sai suddenly opened, who am I, I am Yuan Shu, the third prince of the fourth world, there are many old officials, and Cao Cao has not issued a recruitment order, my Yuan Shu is one step ahead.

The next day, Nanyang City was plastered with notices, which read, "Now the world is undecided, and it is the time when talents are urgently needed, so we can only talk about being able to do it, not being nitpicking, and paying too much attention to it." If it is required that the moral character is impeccable and perfect in all aspects, then how can Qi Huan Gong achieve hegemony? How could Emperor Gao create the Great Han? Therefore, as long as you are a talent, you have the "art of governing the country and using soldiers", even if you have a bad reputation, the behavior of being ridiculed, or even "unkindness and filial piety", please recommend it, I must use it how I should use it. ”

As soon as this list came out, it shocked the world. "The Seeking Decree is a major event in Chinese history. He changed the employment system of the empire, and the system of inspection and examination of the two Han Dynasty was launched on the stage of history, and the system of recommending Jue to the Wei and Jin dynasties also involved a major theoretical question that has been debated for a long time. The traditional approach is to take virtue but not talent, at least virtue before talent, but Yuan Shu clearly put forward "only talent". The so-called "meritocracy" means that as long as you are talented, you can not ask about morality, and even "unkindness or filial piety" does not matter. This also became an excuse for Cao Cao and others to conquer Yuan Shu in the future.
