Chapter 103: Up and Down the City (I)
In fact, Yuan Shao will do this is also a last resort, the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is also a nerve-wracking thing to do a good job as the helmsman of a big force.
Don't think that Yuan Shaogang is self-serving, often does not listen to Tian Feng's really useful and reasonable advice, he is really a dim-witted and faint master, in fact, he has been able to get to this point, in addition to the great convenience that his background has brought to him in all aspects, especially in the convenience of recruiting talents, and the undeniable factor of luck, he himself is also a very insightful and capable person, and many times he does not obey is not because he doesn't like it, but more often he is forced to do it.
In terms of personality, Yuan Shao is not as strong as he seems, most of the time, he is actually more willing to listen to the construction of his subordinates and military generals, but it seems that because he has heard too many opinions before, something will happen over time.
Because everyone has their own opinion, a set of opinions, which were originally just used as a reference, but now they are beginning to influence decision-making.
It is true that Yuan Shao is their head, but it does not mean that he can unscrupulously follow his own ideas, this is because of the hesitation in his temperament, but in the end, he has cultivated a group of people under his hands who are constantly fighting and contradictory, and they are still some of the most important people, or important advisers, or confidants and generals, and after all, in addition to forming gangs, they did play their own role, and they have contributed to the process of Yuan Shao's establishment of today's status, and these contributions cannot be erased.
Maybe it's because he comes from a family, but in fact, Yuan Shao doesn't have much disgust with their behavior. Mainly because he has been in a similar environment since he was a child, he can feel some of their thoughts, but what he didn't expect is that he is still only a prince after all, not a son of heaven, different people, different identities and different statuses, and the attitude towards the same thing is naturally not the same, in terms of his current identity and power, the "scale" of the people under his hands is really a bit excessive, and he hasn't realized it yet, let alone stopped it. In other words, in the current form, it has become a trend. It's not easy for him to stop it.
He needs to spend a lot of effort thinking about how to balance this contradiction, if he can't do it, let alone start a war, even if he has to give an order to fight to the end, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
This is also a reality. So in the end, whether a force is strong or not. There is really no decisive relationship with many people. Just like the famous saying that one monk fetches water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink, of course, as long as the coordination is good, it is enough to exert the power of many people, which will naturally become a good thing.
From this point of view. Yuan Shao is obviously not a qualified "helmsman".
However, Yuan Shao naturally will not admit his mistakes, he has always been such a person, and there is nothing strange about it, and he now has mixed feelings in his heart, after a while, he even grabbed another wine glass on the wine table next to the couch and poured it full and then drank a few sips of wine again, he was a little sober and calm, and he calmed himself down, I have to say that compared to when he was in Luoyang, the current Yuan Shao still has grown and changed, for example, although his personality has become rigid and self-serving because of the exposure of his ambitions, But when encountering major events, he can always remain calm and steady, and he is not comparable to the Yuan family who always felt that he had to live under the protection of the family before.
When Jiang Qi came, he had already detected the enemy's traces and appeared half a mile away, and according to the distance from the northwest city gate to his mansion, even if he came on a fast horse, it would not take a short time, and this time was enough for Lu Bu's army to completely advance outside the city wall.
"Whew!" Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Yuan Shao looked at Jiang Qi and said, "Lead me to the northwest city gate, I want to see with my own eyes, is this Lu Bu really personal?" ”
……
"Lu Fengxian!"
On the tall city wall of Yecheng, leaning on the edge of the city tower, Yuan Shao was condescending, and at a glance he saw Lu Bu, who was sitting on a red horse, wearing a golden helmet, wearing a hundred flower robes, five barbarian lion armor, and a majestic halberd in his hand. ran to Lu Bu and dismantled the other party in eight pieces in order to vent the hatred in his heart.
As he thought before, not only the time when Jiang Qi went from the city gate to his mansion, but also the time when he and Jiang Qi came to the northwest city gate, and these times were more than enough for Lu Bu's army to advance from half a mile outside the city, so what Yuan Shao saw now was that although they were all dressed in the same costume as Yuan Jun, and even a few familiar faces that were not too familiar could be seen in them, it was the surrender of the three counties of Yanmen that was coerced by Lu Bu's army, but he had a big "Lu" Thousands of cavalry with the banner, and look at the front one, who is not Lu Bu.
Counting, this is the third time that Yuan Shao has been humiliated by Lu Bu in his impression, the first time is naturally at the banquet of Gui You, and strictly speaking, it was Yuan Huai who was humiliated that time, but before that, Yuan Shao "showed off his might" to Dong Zhuo at the banquet, and then walked away with his head held high, speaking of which Lu Bu's halberd dance was Dong Zhuo's revenge on Yuan Shao, which is a cause and effect relationship; The second time is naturally the war between the Dong Alliance and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, from the Tiger Prison Pass to Yanshi City, from the army generals of the Independent Alliance to the Fire Bull Formation to retreat from the enemy, this is the stage for Lu Bu's performance, and it is also the beginning of his real fame and prestige in the world, but for Yuan Shao, who is the leader of the alliance, this is a slap in the face again and again, and it is continuous, which makes Yuan Shao's face swollen.
As for the third time, it was naturally now, even if Lu Bu had just seen him, and he hadn't even started to say a word to him, but he suddenly appeared here, and with such a posture of showing off his martial arts, how could he not let Yuan Shao, who had always been arrogant because of his famous background, hate him?
Speaking of which, in addition to the fact that the two looked at each other from afar during the period of the Dong Alliance, this can only be regarded as the second official meeting between the two, but the hatred between the two is deeper and deeper each time.
At this moment, it is the enemy who is very red-eyed when they meet, but Yuan Shao is red-eyed and thick-necked, and he does not have the demeanor that he should have as the first overlord of Hebei, who is also a handsome person from the fourth and third princes, and is also a general of the Great Han Wei who was enshrined by the imperial court, but Lu Bu still has a calm face, and even has a smile.
"It's been a long time, Brother Benchu. Since the farewell of Luoyang, this past year, it is really called a good life for my brother, and now I am even more excited to see the real person, it is inevitable that I will not choose my words, and I don't know which sentence will hurt you, if so, please don't be surprised......"
Lu Bu's words made Yuan Shao sound even harsher, even if it sounded like every sentence was sincere, but if it was someone who didn't know their relationship, Yuan Shao himself, as the person concerned, didn't believe that he would say anything good about himself.
The contradiction between the two is irresolvable, Lu Bu obviously can only do this to provoke himself, thinking of this, Yuan Shao calmed down a little, looked at Lu Bu condescendingly, as if he had sought a little comfort and satisfaction in this way, he sneered and sneered: "The last time I saw you, you were still surnamed Dong, why did you go back to Lu after a short time?" I don't know if I call you Lu Fengxian this time, should I call Ding Fengxian or Dong Fengxian next time? ”
"Or, is it better to simply call you a house slave with the third surname?" The last sentence, Yuan Shao said word by word, but he was paying attention to Lu Bu's reaction, and the soldiers of the Yuan army in the city around him had already cooperated and laughed. (To be continued......)
