Chapter 277: Yuan Shao's abacus
In March, in the northern land, winter turns to spring, the ice and snow melt, and the temperature gradually warms up.
Yecheng, the seat of the Jizhou regime.
The same is the outstanding generation of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and the now down-and-out Yuan Shu, he is a spring breeze proud, last year, in the first half of the year, although he was swept out of Youzhou by Gongsun Zhan, the idea of seizing Youzhou failed. But he still sent troops, completely took Qingzhou, and killed Tian Kai.
In the second half of the year, Yuan Shao was even more 100,000 soldiers and horses, marching west to merge the state, all the way like a bamboo, no one could stop him, and it only took less than three months to seize the state.
With the rich and prosperous Jizhou as the center, Yuan Shao suddenly sat on the land of Hebei, Qing, and Sanzhou, with a population of nearly eight million, more than one million soldiers and horses, and the military under his command were all outstanding people, and their strength completely surpassed Yuan Shu of that year.
Today, faintly, Yuan Shao already has the voice of the first prince in the world.
After all, although Jiangdong's strength is not worse than him, his territory is scattered, and some of them are still overseas, living in a corner, and his influence in today's world cannot be compared with him at all.
And Cao Cao, although he occupies the two states of Yanyu and Henan, but compared with Yuan Shao, his strength is somewhat insufficient, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, whether it is strength or territory, it cannot be compared with Yuan Shao.
The other small princes didn't put it in Yuan Shao's eyes at all.
Today's Yuan Shao has a feeling that the general trend is in hand, and naturally, his heart began to expand a little.
At this time, he ushered in a Jiangdong envoy who came from thousands of miles away, and he hated Jiangdong, after all, Sun Quan made him lose face.
However, he was born in a family, and he was a prince, and he paid great attention to interests, so he endured his anger and met with the Jiangdong envoy.
On this day, Yuan Shao summoned all his civil and military ministers back, the Jizhou Mu Mansion, the ministers of the Jizhou regime, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xianbei, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu...... Fierce general Ju Yi, Hebei Siting Zhu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran...... Wait, all together.
Yuan Shao's majestic body sat quietly in the first place, with a white face, a jade crown on his head, and a bunch of beautiful hair on his chin, which looked even more extraordinary.
His gaze swept over, so that everyone did not dare to look at each other, and after a deep groan, he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Calling everyone back today, there are two major events about the future of Jizhou, first, Jiangdong suddenly sent a messenger, the intention is very firm, they want to invite us, join hands to overthrow the Han family, and then establish their own autonomy and return to the Warring States Period, what do you want?" ”
"What, the state?"
When everyone heard this, they were taken aback, looking at each other, and they couldn't believe it, and a grumpy general couldn't help but scream.
"Jiangdong actually conspired against this heart, it's too presumptuous!"
"In fact, today, it is originally a monarch who is not a king, a minister who is not a minister, and there is no real name, such as today's death, the last trace of luck of the Han family is gone, and Jiangdong wants to establish a country, and it is a normal move."
"I'm afraid this is also a helpless move."
"But why did they pull us in, isn't it better for him to build his own country?"
"Sun Jian should actually want us to share the pressure for him, after all, it is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and if Jiangdong establishes a country, they will be rebellious."
Everyone in the hall came back to their senses one by one, and began to talk in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, they were a little surprised, some angry, some figured it out, and some didn't understand.
"Yuan Hao, how do you want?"
Yuan Shao has not yet completely swelled to the point where there is no one in his eyes, and the military generals under his command, who is capable and who are not, he knows at a glance, and his eyes are bright and clear.
At present, he always values Tian Feng and Fu Zhi's two major advisers, these two are his right-hand men, who determine the development policy of the Jizhou regime and always control the steering wheel of the Jizhou regime.
"My lord."
Tian Feng stood up gently, in his eyes, a touch of elite light crossed, facing Yuan Shao, bowed and said: "The general trend of the world, is no longer in the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven died suddenly, the hearts of the people are scattered, now is a great opportunity, the lord rules Jizhou, Qingzhou and the three states, occupies most of the north, the general trend has been achieved, a certain agree, Jizhou is established, and the lord is the king." ”
"You agree?" Yuan Shao squinted slightly, a little surprised, he originally thought that Tian Feng, a scholar with a straightforward personality and some pedantic, would definitely speak out against it.
"That's right, I agree."
Tian Feng nodded, his intelligence had already been seen, today was actually a formality, Yuan Shao was afraid that he had made up his mind early in the morning, and this matter was not necessarily a bad thing for Yuan Shao.
The world is in chaos, so chaotic that he can't see the shape clearly, if Jizhou is established, Jizhou can have a core of struggle, and it can develop rapidly.
"Gonghe, what do you mean?" Yuan Shao was suddenly full of confidence, turned his head, looked at Fu Jiao, and continued to ask with a hint of hope.
"Lord, now, the Han family is gone, Jizhou is established, and the lord is the king, it is feasible!" Frustrated eyes looked at Yuan Shao, looked at Tian Feng, and groaned, originally wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into support.
The death of the Son of Heaven has no impact on the strength of the princes of the world, it is just a thing of icing on the cake, which is not enough, but for the scholars of the world, the influence is too great.
Reading and being loyal to the court is a belief that scholars have since they picked up books, and the court collapsed and was helpless, but they still had a touch of obsession in their hearts, that is, the Son of Heaven.
Now that the Son of Heaven is dead, their obsession has disappeared, and there is no luxury for the Han family, if Yuan Shao can be called Wang Liguo, it will be a good thing.
"Good, good, good! You are all loyal servants of so-and-so! ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, with the complete support of his right-hand man, he let go of the last trace of worry in his heart, and shouted three times.
"We are willing to support the lord, establish the country as the king, and achieve hegemony!"
At this time, Yuan Shao's laughter made no one in the hall dare to speak out against it, so whether they agreed or disagreed in their hearts, they all knelt down one after another and said respectfully.
"Hahaha, if a certain person is called the king, Jizhou will be happy, and we will encourage you!"
Yuan Shao was in a good mood, his face was laughing, his spirit was bright, he stretched out his hand to protect it, and said loudly.
"Lord, what is the other thing?" Tian Feng looked at the excitement of everyone, his eyes sank slightly, and then asked.
"There is another thing, in fact, it is also related to the founding of the country, Yuan Shu was besieged by Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, and soldiers and horses from all directions.
Yuan Shao's expression calmed down, his eyes were clear, and he said loudly.
"My lord, in the past, Yuan Shu regarded you as a concubine, expelled you from the Yuan family, and occupied Runan exclusively, but now he is just a dog at home, why should we care." Xu Yu flashed a pair of small black eyes and said respectfully.
"I don't agree, no matter what, the lord is the son of the Yuan family after all, if he doesn't save it, won't he give the world a shame on the Yuan family, this time it is enough if he can send troops to rescue, he will be able to reflect the benevolence of the lord and recover the Yuan family."
The judge shook his head and objected.
"Actually, it's not okay to send troops, but we must have enough price to send troops."
"I agree to send troops."
"No, you can definitely send troops, why use Jizhou's soldiers and horses to save them!"
Yuan Shao has a lot of strategists, each of them has ability, but the strategists under his command are the least unaligned, there are many factions, if Tian Feng and Fu Zhu remain silent, it is easy to lose the suppression, no matter what the matter is, they will fight each other.
Yuan Shao is not an emperor, but he is proud of the balance of the emperor's family, he has always indulged the people under his command to fight, but unfortunately, he did not grasp the proportion, and finally lost to Cao Cao in Guandu because of one of the reasons for civil strife.
"Yuan Hao!"
At this time, Yuan Shao spoke up, and everyone calmed down, and their eyes looked at Tian Feng one after another.
"Lord, is Yuan Shu willing to pay the price?" Tian Feng squinted and asked.
"Hmm!"
Yuan Shao nodded, with a scorching light in his eyes, and said, "He said that as long as we are willing to send troops, he is willing to present the jade seal of the country." ”
"Heirloom Jade Seal!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly widened, and they were full of essence.
"Lord, Jizhou and Jiujiang are far apart, if you want to send troops to relieve the siege, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, this matter is very difficult." He groaned for a moment and shook his head.
"There's really no way?" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, he wanted this jade seal of the country, after all, with the jade seal, they had a legitimate reason for founding the country, and now the Quartet made a move to attack Yuan Shu, isn't it also for the jade seal?
"Hehe, it's actually not difficult!"
Tian Feng's expression was full of brilliance, and he said: "Lord, now the Quartet is besieging Jiujiang, even if we come out, we may not be able to relieve the siege of Jiujiang, but we can rescue Yuan Shu, as long as there is a soldier and horse, from Qingzhou to the south, through Mount Tai, we can meet him." ”
"Why?"
Yuan Shao was unwilling, he wanted the jade seal, not the person.
"Lord, as long as Yuan Shu comes to Jizhou, does he have any other choices? When the time comes, the lord will have what he wants. ”
Tian Feng smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curled, and there was a cold smile.
"Hahaha, Yuan Hao's words have won a certain heart!" Yuan Shaomeng came to his senses, laughed loudly, and shouted: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou!" ”
"In!" The two fierce generals walked out.
"Ming'er and the other two, lead 30,000 cavalry, set off for me immediately, and then use the shortest time to forcibly penetrate the road to Mount Tai, take Yuzhou directly, and meet the remnants of Yuan Shu!"
"No!"
The two fierce generals respectfully received the order.
