Chapter 45: Yan Xiang

Zhang Niuli and other lieutenant generals and colonels came out to support Ji Ling.

The civil officials of the Yuan Zhongjia Dynasty headed by Jin Shang did not move.

Yuan Fu's gaze fell on Jin Shang and asked, "So, what does Yuan Xiugong mean?" ”

Jin Shang came out of the ranks, first looked at Yuan No, and said: "Son, the old minister thinks that what Fu Yi said is very reasonable, Huainan and Runan are all dilapidated, it is not enough to be based, it is better to lead the army to garrison Tunlujiang, the old minister is willing to go to Shu County alone, and he will persuade Liu Xun to serve the son with a three-inch tongue." ”

As soon as Jin Shang's statement was made, most of the civil officials also came out one after another and echoed in unison.

Only the Lord Bo Yanxiang watched coldly and did not echo it.

Did Yuan sneer in his heart and persuade Liu Xun to serve him as the master?

That's no need to think about it, Liu Xun is afraid that he can't wait to arrest him and dedicate him to Cao Cao.

Although Liu Xun is the old department of Yuan Shu, he has no loyalty to Yuan Shu at all, otherwise, when Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei allied forces crusaded against Yuan Shu, why didn't Liu Xun save him?

Even Yuan Shu himself didn't regard Liu Xun as a loyal minister, otherwise after escaping from Shouchun, why didn't Yuan Shu go to Lujiang, but to Runan? Just because Yuan Shu knew that Liu Xun was unreliable.

However, of course, Yuan Wei would not say such words.

At that moment, Yuan Wei said: "Since all the princes advocate going to Lujiang, then the matter is decided." ”

After speaking, Yuan Wei shook Jin Shangchang to the ground again, and said sincerely: "Yuan Xiugong, then you have to go to Shu County first to find out Liu Xun's tone." ”

Jin Shang returned the salute and said, "The old minister receives the order." ”

Yuan Wei shouted again: "Where is Zhang Niucal?" ”

Zhang Niucal came out of the column and responded: "The last will be." ”

Yuan said: "Ride fifty at the rate, escort Yuan Xiu Gong to Shu County on the road, remember, at all costs you must also escort Yuan Xiu Gong, if Yuan Xiu Gong is a good person, a certain will ask you." ”

"No!" Zhang Niucal replied violently, "The last general will not be dishonored." ”

Seeing the figures of Jin Shang and Zhang Niucal go away, Yuan Fu said to everyone again: "All the princes can go back and prepare, and finally rest in Longkang for one night, and set off for the south early tomorrow morning." ”

A group of civilian and military generals left one after another.

Yan Xiang walked last, glanced at Yuan Wei before turning around, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei's heart moved, and he beckoned and shouted: "Yan Gong go slowly, there is something unknown and I want to ask for advice." ”

Yan Xiang turned to Yuan Nuo and gave a long look, and said respectfully: "But I don't know what Gongzi wants to ask?" ”

Yuan Wei walked to the door of the lobby and saw that Yang Hongdu, who was walking at the end, had already turned around the wall, so he turned around and looked at Yan Xiang with a smile, and said: "The right person Yan Gong didn't say a word, but before leaving, he wanted to stop talking, could it be that Yan Gong didn't agree with what Yuan Xiu Gong said?" Don't approve of going to Lujiang to join Liu Xun? ”

"I really don't agree with what Yuan Xiugong said, and I don't think it's a good idea to go to Lujiang to join Liu Xun." Yan Xiang looked up at Yuan No, and said sincerely, "Childe, everyone can go to Lujiang, even if they are down, they can also go to Lujiang, and they can still find a messenger in Lujiang, but Gongzi can't go to Lujiang anymore." ”

Yuan Wei said solemnly: "What does Gong Yan mean by this? Why can't you go to Lujiang? ”

Yan Xiang sneered: "Could it be that Gongzi really thinks that Liu Xun will listen to the advice of Yuan Xiugong and serve Gongzi as the master?" ”

After a pause, Yan Xiang said again: "When the first lord was still there, Liu Xun dared to disobey the yang and the yin, and now that the first lord is back, will Liu Xun take care of the old feelings of the first lord and serve the son of dogs and horses?" Please forgive me for saying bluntly, if the son goes to Lujiang, sooner or later he will be killed by Liu Xun. ”

Yuan Wei sighed: "Yan Gong's words, why didn't you say it just now? ”

Yan Xiang asked rhetorically: "If you said it just now, will Gongzi adopt it?" ”

Yuan Wei was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he say sneeringly: "I'm afraid it won't, it's hard to disobey the will of the people." ”

"That's it." Yan Xiang laughed at himself and said, "Even if you say it just now, Gongzi won't adopt it, so why bother doing it?" ”

Yuan Wei said again: "As Yan Gong said, going to Lujiang can only be a dead end, but I don't know what countermeasures Yan Gong can take to save a certain life?" ”

Yan Xiang said abruptly: "The son already has a countermeasure in his belly, so why do you need to say more?" ”

Yuan Wei showed a slight embarrassment when he heard this, but this guy's face was getting thicker and thicker, and he only blushed slightly, and then immediately continued with a blushing face and a heartbeat: "I still hope that Yan Gong will teach me." ”

"Childe, this is hypocritical." Yan Xiang said with a smile, "Gongzi has already decided to go to Hebei, and is ready to pass on the jade seal of the country as a step to enter the body, Yuan Shao is also Gongzi's uncle, if Gongzi goes to vote, he can find a state shepherd, no matter how bad it is, it is also a county guard, but it is much better than going to Lujiang to defect to Liu Xun, and the day is not safe." ”

Yuan was surprised and said, "How did Gong Yan know about this? ”

Yuan Wei only said this to Ji Ling, but never mentioned it to the second person.

Yan Xiang said abruptly: "I not only know that Gongzi plans to go to Hebei, but also know that Gongzi has secretly started to arrange in order to achieve this goal, and ordering Jin Shang to go to Lujiang first to lobby Zhang Xun is only the first step, so that Zhang Niu Calf will lead fifty fine horses to protect Jin Shang, which is Gongzi's stroke of genius." ”

Yuan Wei was awe-inspiring when he heard this, and he was also a little impressed by Yan Xiang.

To be honest, he ordered Jin Shang to go to Lujiang first, and then ordered Zhang Niucal to lead fifty elite horsemen to protect Jin Shang, Yuan Wei did have ulterior motives, and his purpose was twofold: one was to transfer Jin Shang, the head of the civil officials, in order to divide the civil official group, and the other was to transfer Zhang Niucal, the old man of Yu Linwei, to create conditions for Xu Sheng to take over Yu Linwei.

Xu Sheng was personally recruited by Yuan No, and his allegiance was to Yuan No, not the Yuan family!

At this point, Xu Sheng is essentially different from Zhang Niucal and Ji Ling!

To put it simply, Ji Ling, Jin Shang, and Zhang Niucal are loyal to the Yuan Group as a whole, while Xu Sheng is loyal to Yuan Nuo personally, when Yuan Nuo's personal interests conflict with the overall interests of the Yuan Group, Zhang Niuli and Ji Ling will not hesitate to choose the latter, while Xu Sheng will choose the former without hesitation.

However, Yuan asked himself whether his methods were still very hidden, at least Jin Shang did not see it.

But he never thought that Yan Xiang's intentions for him were so insightful that the ancients really couldn't be underestimated.

This Yan Xiang is only an unknown person in history, and there is no clear record of even the table.

Yan Xiang only saw the historical records, that is, Yuan Shu had asked him before the title of emperor, Yan Xiang admonished: In the past, Zhou since Houji as for King Wen, accumulated virtue, three points of the world have two, still serve Yin, although the Ming Dynasty is Yishi Kechang, if there is no Zhou Zhisheng, although the Han family is small, it is not as violent as Yin.

Now it seems that this Yan Xiang is not inferior to those virtuous ministers who have left their names in history.

However, this is also reasonable, the virtuous minister and the Ming lord have always complemented each other, the Ming lord certainly needs the virtuous minister to help him achieve hegemony, why don't those virtuous ministers need the Ming lord to provide him with a stage to display his talents?

Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu are famous in history, and their outstanding abilities are one aspect, and Cao Cao provided them with a stage to display their talents, but it is another aspect.

If Cao Cao did not provide a stage for displaying his talents, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu might not have such a prominent reputation, and maybe they would also become unknown people, on the contrary, if Yuan Shu could also provide Yan Xiang with a stage to display his talents, his achievements would not necessarily be weaker than Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and other five people.

Of course, whether Yan Xiang can be compared with Xun Yu and others will take time to decide.

However, regardless of Yan Xiang's ability, he was at least an extremely knowledgeable figure.

At that moment, Yuan Wei shook himself to the ground and said to Yan Xiang sincerely: "Yan Gong, please accept a certain bow!" ”

"Childe, please get up." Yan Xiang hurriedly grabbed Yuan Nuo and didn't let Yuan Nuo bow down.

Yuan Wei insisted on bowing to the ground, and after getting up, he said solemnly: "Please ask Yan Gong to plan a big plan for something." ”

"I can't afford to be called such a son." Yan Xiang said humbly, "If the son does not give up, he can call him by his name, or he can be called by the name." ”

Yuan Wei was not hypocritical, and asked: "I still don't know the words of the public?" ”

Yan Xiang hurriedly said: "In the next word sound, it means that the elephant is invisible and **." ”

"In this way, so-and-so is rude." Yuan Wei shook his head slightly, and said again, "Brother Ziyin, now that my Yuan family has reached the point of life and death, I am worried about overturning the nest at every turn, please Brother Ziyin teach me." ”

Yan Xiang smiled, and then said, "Have you ever read only Yu Ma's head?" ”

"I've never read it." Yuan Wei said a little arrogantly, "Brother Ziyin smiled." ”

Yuan is a human being in two lifetimes, although he knows that only the rest of the horse's head is looking at this allusion, but he really doesn't know the source.

Yan Xiang said: "Childe, this is an allusion from Zuo Chuan, in the thirteenth year of King Ling of Zhou, the Jin State gathered Lu, Qi, Song, Wei, Cao, Ju, Di, Teng, Xue, Qi, Zheng and other twelve countries to attack Qin, and all the way to the suburbs of Xianyang, Qin resisted stubbornly, refused to sue for peace, and poisoned the well, and the coalition suffered great casualties. ”

"Xun Yan, the commander of the coalition forces, was determined to complete his work in one battle, so he ordered: The rooster crows, the well is blocked, and only the horse is the first to look."

"Xun Yan's original intention was to let the coalition army gather when the rooster crowed, and then fill in the well, smash the stove, and attack in the direction where his horse's head pointed, Xun Yan's determination is not small, but unfortunately the coalition army cannot do it together, so the final defeat to the Qin army is the inevitable result."
