Chapter 167: Mei Zhoulang
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been incompatible, although Yuan Shu is longer than Yuan Shao, but his mother is only a concubine of the Yuan family, and her status is not high, so the son is low by his mother, and Yuan Shu's status in the Yuan family is not high, especially after Yuan Shao was born, Yuan Shao's mother is the wife of Yuan Gong, and the son of the wife is a descendant, so Yuan Shao can inherit everything of the Yuan family as soon as he is born, and the name of the fourth and third princes can only be left for Yuan Shao to use, and Yuan Shu can't occupy any light!
So the gap between the two brothers has been cultivated since childhood, Yuan Shao doesn't look down on him, the eldest brother from a humble background, so he slanders him everywhere, and Yuan Shu also hates this younger brother who is luckier than him, and often excludes him, so the two brothers can't meet, and they fight when they meet.
When the two brothers came of age, Yuan Gong was already old, so he recommended Yuan Shao to the imperial court and succeeded him, while Yuan Shu was only arranged to be a local official and became a petty official!
A few years later, this Yuan Shu is also a little skill, in Shouchun this place from scratch, become a party of thorn history, sitting in a corner, but Yuan Shao in the court mixed not very well, and then Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao saw that the situation was not good, slipped away, and settled in the land of Hebei, by the Yuan family four generations and three dukes, the name of the protΓ©gΓ© and the old officials all over the world, this Yuan Shao can also be regarded as saving some strength, and then Cao Cao announced to the world, when he raised troops against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and his eldest brother also went, Yuan Shao was also named the leader of the coalition alliance, At that time, Yuan Shao got cheap, and remembered that Yuan Shu was his brother after all, and he couldn't forget the benefits, so he sealed Yuan Shu the official position of a grain and grass officer of the coalition army, neither had to go forward to fight, nor did he have to put his life in danger, and escorting grain and grass was still a job with oil and water!
Yuan Shu saw that his younger brother was not thin on him, so he joined forces at that time and calculated Gao Fei, but the chicken flew and the egg was beaten, but he splashed himself, so there was a section where Yuan Shao gave Gao Fei a boot before the Tiger Prison Pass!
Later, the coalition army was over, Yuan Shu led the troops back to Shouchun, Yuan Shao led the army back to Hebei, each is not comparable, and now, this Yuan Shu suddenly sent a letter to Yuan Shao, but the person who said it was good news, of course it was good news for Yuan Shu, because he wanted to be the emperor, and he would naturally tell his younger brother Yuan Shao the good news first.
After reading the letter, Yuan Shao learned that Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor, and he didn't come to ask for opinions at all, because Yuan Shu had already decided that he would burn incense and pray on the auspicious day of the next month, and proclaim himself emperor.
Yuan Shao was stunned, and immediately said that Yuan Shu had caused a big disaster.
Although Yuan Shao is not a smart person, but the truth that the rafters are rotten first, he still knows it, today, although Emperor Xian is scattered and does not know where, the princes of all parties have attacked it, but all parties have not resisted the orthodoxy of the Han family on the surface, and he, a stupid big brother, dared to risk the disapproval of the world, Emperor Xian is not dead, he dared to ascend the throne and stand on his own, it is really bold!
To tell the truth, if there is chaos today, the situation is just like the end of the Qin Dynasty, the capable people rose up, and then things are not so simple, the Qin Dynasty was tyrannical and excessive, and the people of the Six Kingdoms have long been anti-hearted, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang can rise up, and the followers are like a tide, and now the people in the world want to live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to start a war again, it's just that the princes have ghosts in their hearts, of course, Yuan Shao can't think of this truth, his mind is very simple, his eldest brother Yuan Shu is too stupid, and there is a point, It stands to reason that Yuan Shao is the descendant of the Yuan family, where is the reason for the son of the concubine to be the son of heaven!
Therefore, if you want to be called the emperor, it should be Yuan Shao of his Yuan family, but although Yuan Shao has this heart, he is not as bold as his eldest brother, so he hides it! That is, Yuan Shao still has the jealousy of his brother as the emperor, so Yuan Shao is against it in every way!
Tian Feng was also taken aback after seeing Yuan Shu's letter, the matter of calling the emperor is still too sudden for the current situation, don't mess with who it is, because the emperor is not dead, although the Han family exists in name only, but still no one dares to break this layer of window paper!
And the meaning of Yuan Shu's letter is also very simple, Yuan Shu is called the emperor, it is the glory of his old Yuan family, Yuan Shao, who is a younger brother, of course, should go to congratulate and take the lead in the world to recognize him as the emperor, and Yuan Shao of course will not follow Yuan Shu's thoughts, and immediately wrote to Yuan Shu, saying that he broke off relations with Yuan Shu, did not recognize his brother, and recklessly showed the world that Yuan Shu was the emperor, and he Yuan Shao was the first to object!
At that time, when Yuan Shao's reply letter reached Shouchun's Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was also furious, and Sun Ce had been in Yuan Shu's big tent during this time.
It is said that Changsha guarded Sun Jian too much, when he conquered Liu Biao in Jingzhou, unfortunately Liu Biao's subordinates Huang Zu was killed by random arrows, and at that time, his son Sun Ce, who was seventeen years old, was brave and good at fighting, and then his father's corpse, crying bitterly, the war situation was decided, Changsha was defeated, and Sun Ce inherited his father's will, vowed to kill Huang Zu and Liu Biao, and avenged the revenge of killing his father, but Sun Ce's strength was really weak, and as a last resort, Sun Ce led a group of Changsha fathers and elders to take refuge in Yuan Shu's door.
Yuan Shu and Sun Jian knew each other, although when Sun Jian left the Tiger Prison, Yuan Shu once intercepted his people and asked for the jade seal of the country, but Yuan Shu liked Sun Ce, a young man, and wanted to reuse it, and Yuan Shu also had a plan, that is, the jade seal in Sun Jian's hand.
Sun Ce was under Yuan Shu's sect, able to fight well, and laid a lot of territory for Yuan Shu, just returned from Lujiang, and Lujiang was too invincible to Sun Ce, and voluntarily sacrificed his land and Yuan Shu.
Sun Ce conquered the land of the Lujiang River and returned victoriously, but at this moment, Sun Ce was waiting in Yuan Shu's big tent, but he had a different intention, because half an hour ago, he had already dedicated the jade seal left by his father to Yuan Shu.
The reason why Sun Ce would sacrifice the jade seal of the country was actually to borrow soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu in order to be the foundation of the military plan.
When Sun Ce presented the jade seal of the country, this Yuan Shu had the idea of being the emperor, and immediately wrote a letter to his younger brother Yuan Shao, but he didn't want to eat a bad meal at Yuan Shao's place, Yuan Shu was of course in a bad mood, and it took a long time to realize that Sun Ce was still beside him, so he asked, "Why is the nephew here?" βγ
Sun Ce said, "My father's revenge has not been avenged, and I am full of hatred, but at this time, my Sun family is in Qu'a County, and I am forced by Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, for fear of being harmed, today Sun Ce wants to borrow thousands of male soldiers to cross the river to save the relatives of the clan, I am afraid that the general will not believe it, so I specially offered the jade seal of the country!" Please reply to the general", Sun Ce's eyes fell on Yuan Shu's bookcase.
Yuan Shu saw the heirloom jade seal on the bookcase, put it down and came to his senses, "Oh, virtuous nephew, it turns out that this is the case!" Then he changed his train of thought, got out of Yuan Shao's insults, and said with a smile, "I have to let you pass on the jade seal of the country, and stay here today, I borrow 5,000 soldiers, and the horses used to be with you, after pacifying the matter of Qu'a, you can return quickly, and you have a humble position, and it is difficult to hold power!" βγ
Sun Ce knelt down to thank him, and then led thousands of soldiers and horses, and the old generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, and crossed the river.
At that time, when Sun Ce led the troops to leave Yuan Shu's camp tent, there was a person chasing from the military tent, Sun Ce saw it, it was an acquaintance, his surname was Lu Mingfan, a person from Runan, was a strategist around Yuan Shu, but Lu Fan saw that Yuan Shu was not enough to plan, so he wanted to leave, and when he saw Sun Ce, he wanted to go together, it turned out that this Lu Fan and Sun Ce's father Sun Jian were good friends, and he had seen Sun Ce when he was young, thinking that the tiger father had no dog, and he was curious.
Sun Ce saw that it was Lu Fan, who should be his uncle's generation, so he treated him politely and was overjoyed, but Sun Ce was not in a hurry to march across the river, but when he reached the border of Liyang, he stationed troops in the village, and Lu Fan was puzzled, "Why did Bo Fu stop the army?" βγ
In fact, Lu Fan has long known the meaning of Sun Ce's dedication to Yuan Shu's jade seal, borrowing soldiers is true or false, and the jade seal of the country is a hot potato, so Sun Ce doesn't want to keep it in his hands, but it is just right to dedicate it to Yuan Shu, and he can also deceive a group of soldiers and horses from his hands, and the plan of killing two birds with one stone is of course wonderful, but since he is deceiving soldiers from Yuan Shu's hands, of course, he has to quickly leave the range of Yuan Shu's power, otherwise it will be difficult to get out when he finds out?
Sun Ce said with a smile, "Do you know who came up with this plan of killing two birds with one stone?" βγ
Lu Fan was a little suspicious, "Bo Fu offered the jade seal, could it be that this plan was made by someone else!" βγ
"What does Mr. Lu Fan think of this?" , Sun Ce asked.
"It's wonderful, the jade seal is in Yuan Shu's heart, so Yuan Shu naturally won't have any doubts about borrowing troops!"
Sun Ce was in a very good mood, and he was finally about to get rid of Yuan Shu's shackles, so he just said softly, "Yuan Shu is clumsy, Anken has discovered Gong Jin's clever plan!" βγ
When Lu Fan heard the word "Gongjin", he said, "But what about the people from Lujiang, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who are known as 'Mei Zhou Lang'?" βγ
Sun Ce nodded yes, in fact, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were born in the same year, they met when they were young, and they were called brothers, when they were in Lujiang's hometown, this Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, when they were eleven or twelve years old, they were erect and handsome, and they were called by the neighbors left and right, "Mei Zhou Lang", "Mei Sun Lang", but later when Sun Ce was eleven or twelve years old, he followed his father Sun Jian to fight left and right, and was bloody in the battlefield, so his appearance was also a little tougher, but for the name of "Mei Sun Lang", Sun Ce still accepted it, However, in comparison, Zhou Yu's handsome appearance is better, so when people in Jiangdong mention Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, they don't know the name of "Mei Zhou Lang", but compared to his appearance, Zhou Yu's strategy and martial arts are better!
Lu Fan suddenly realized, "Could it be that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are in Liyang?" βγ
Sun Ce dismounted suddenly, he didn't answer Lu Fan's words, that is, to express affirmation, and the place where Sun Ce garrisoned was next to a bamboo forest, not far away, was a lush green bamboo forest, the sound of birds was everywhere, the clouds were light and the wind was light, if it wasn't for the flames of war, Lu Fan saw this scene, but really wanted to settle here, find an open place, build a bamboo building, and live in seclusion comfortably, and what Lu Fan thought had been done by Zhou Yu in advance.
Because after Sun Ce walked into the bamboo forest, a small bamboo building loomed, and before the bamboo building, there was a reclining chair, made of bamboo, and on the recliner, there seemed to be a person lying down, covering his head with a pu fan, basking in the sun!
