Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was brave and fierce, and he was defeated when he encountered an ambush on all sides, let alone Yuan Shao. Within a few months www.biquge.info Yuan Shao was hit by Jia Xu to the point that he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and he couldn't afford to fall ill when he returned to Yecheng. However, Jia Xu did not take advantage of the situation to attack, because if Jizhou was taken, the people of Jizhou would be responsible for Liu Zhang.

Guangzong City was burned, the Yuan army's army lost all its food, Yuan's soldiers plundered the people's grain and grass everywhere, and many people who couldn't survive ran to Liu Zhang's rule. According to intelligence, Jia Xu learned that Chang'an's grain storage was seriously consumed, and the grain and grass in Jinyang were all military food, and no one dared to distribute it to the people without authorization!

Although the grain and grass were not enough, Jia Xu knew Liu Zhang's thoughts, and he did not ignore the people of Jizhou. Xu Shu won a great victory in Cangting, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yecheng, and Jia Xu ordered him to turn his army into a squad and bypass Yecheng to inspect Jizhou. Anyone who finds a soldier looting the people will be killed!

The people have a conscience, and they support whoever is good to them. Liu Zhangjun, who was innocent in the autumn, compared with Yuan Jun, who was like a bandit, and the people of Jizhou immediately had a plan in their hearts. In some counties and counties that were more seriously affected by soldiers and bandits, some village elders actually came to ask Liu Zhangjun to take over. However, Jia Xu, who was worried about the lack of food and grass, politely declined the request of the village elder.

The villagers left Liu Zhang's army camp disappointed, and they really hoped that Liu Zhang would take over Jizhou. You must know that Jizhou is adjacent to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is a well-known poor and remote area, but Jizhou is a first-class rich Shangzhou. However, since Liu Zhang took over Bingzhou, the people of Jizhou suddenly found that the people of Bingzhou had become rich, which made the people of Jizhou as neighbors envious.

Confucius said: See the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect yourself! A sage has been interpreted since ancient times as a person who has both ability and integrity. Actually, it can also be said to be a plus! The people of Jizhou see that the lives of the people of Jizhou are getting better and better, even surpassing themselves, how can they not consider the reason? Coupled with Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao's attitude towards the people, in addition to the big families, the people of Jizhou began to move closer to Liu Zhang's side!

Of course, there is also the credit of Jia Xu and others, who let their intelligence officers infiltrate Jizhou. Some intelligence officers who were originally from Jizhou still have relatives and neighbors in the local area. These people returned to their hometowns and said that Liu Zhang's policies were passed on to ten, and ten to hundreds, if it weren't for the ancients to relocate to the land, maybe a long time ago, there would have been a great exodus of the people in Jizhou!

As for the propaganda of intelligence officers, some people do not believe it. You must know that the princes of the late Han Dynasty were in a scuffle, and the agricultural tax was very heavy. Ten taxes, five or six are commonplace, and military tuns and mintuns like Cao Ying's are even harsh. If you talk about the attitude of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms in history towards the people, it can be said that life is better than death under Yuan Shao's rule, Cao Ying's rule is barely alive, only Sun Quan's rule is slightly better, after all, Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and if there are more people, you can still go to Jiaozhou! As for Liu Bei, it was okay in the early stage, with the foundation laid by Liu Zhang, and the later stage can only be described in one word, that is, there are dishes in the noodles!

The intelligence officers under Liu Zhang's command entered Jizhou to publicize, and Yuan Shao naturally ordered someone to inquire about Liu Zhang's policy. It's just that Yuan Shao was very puzzled, Liu Zhang spent so much effort to confiscate the land of the big families under his rule and distribute it to the people. In terms of agricultural taxes, Liu Zhang only collected 30 taxes ranging from 1 to 20 taxes according to the fertility of the farmland. With such a low agricultural tax, how can Liu Zhang raise soldiers.

In fact, not only Yuan Shao was puzzled, but even Liu Zhang's people were also puzzled at the beginning. Since ancient times, monarchs have wanted to tie the people to the land, so much so that they are too dependent on the land, and even have a stereotype! But they don't know that the land can only feed people, but it can't make the country rich and strong! Liu Zhang returned the land of the family to the imperial court, not because he wanted to make a fortune with the land, but because he wanted the people to have land to plant.

Everyone has land to plant, and naturally everyone has food to eat, but as long as they can live, there will be no rebellion. When the people are stable, so are the taxes and soldiers. Only by internal stability can we meet the external enemy, and the so-called external must first be internal, which is just right. It's just that everyone understands the truth, but they don't know how to do it!

Jia Xu's early propaganda and Liu Zhang's non-commissioned officers made Yuan Jun's situation more and more embarrassing, and even some Yuan soldiers, under the persuasion of their parents and brothers at home, began to leave the army. Those who could not escape fled secretly. After holding each other for more than a month, Yuan Jun killed more than 1,000 deserters!

Yuan Shao is several years older than Cao Ying, and nearly twenty years older than Liu Zhang. He was already in his fifties, and he vomited blood after several consecutive defeats, and then heard that most of the people in Jizhou supported Liu Zhang, but he didn't come up in one breath and almost returned to the west. Although he did not die, according to the doctor, he was terminally ill!

After a few days, Yuan Shao fell ill and fell into a coma several times. Seeing this situation, Feng Ji knew that the time was not waiting, and immediately brought the trial who was guarding Ji County to discuss the promotion of Yuan Shang. Due to his previous behavior, Xin Bi also successfully mixed into Yuan Shang's party, and Feng Ji will never forget him.

It's a pity that Xin Bi is a fine man, and when he knew that Feng Ji and the trial were going to nominate Yuan Shang to become the lord of Jizhou, he immediately notified Xin Ping. After Xin Ping got the news, he sent it to Qingzhou non-stop. Yuan Tan Dexin immediately mobilized his army and came to Yecheng. Yuan Shang was powerful, and Yuan Tan was worried that he was not his opponent, so he notified Yuan Xi and Gao Gan in Youzhou.

Gao Gan, Yuan Xizheng and Liu He were having a good time, but they received a notice from Yuan Tan. To be honest, for Yuan Xi, whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, it makes no difference who is the lord of Jizhou. But Yuan Shang is young and vigorous, and he looks down on Yuan Xi, the second brother, but Yuan Tan takes great care of Yuan Xi.

Seeing that Yuan Shang disrespected him, although Yuan Xi had no hope of being the lord of Jizhou, he would not put his hot face on the other party's cold ass. In this way, Yuan Xi became Yuan Tan's party, and because of this, although Yuan Shang was favored by Yuan Shao, he has never succeeded in winning the heir! Hearing that Yuan Shao was critically ill and Yuan Shang wanted to take the opportunity to seize the throne, Yuan Xi discussed with Gao Gan and decided that Yuan Xi would lead 50,000 troops to support Yuan Tan, and the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers would be led by Gao Gan and continue the stalemate with Liu He!

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi came with troops, so they naturally couldn't hide it from Yuan Shang. In order not to let the two of them delay their major affairs, Yuan Shang discussed with Feng Ji and the judge, and decided the position of the lord of Jizhou before Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi arrived. Feng Ji and the trial have been following Yuan Shang for a long time, and they don't want to fall short, so they came to Yuan Shao's ward with Yuan Shang. Of course, before coming, Yuan Shang ordered people to call Jizhou civil and military, basically all of them! Coincidentally, Yuan Shao was awake at this time.

"My son, what are you waiting to do here?" Although Yuan Shao was sober, he was unable to speak loudly due to illness. Mrs. Liu, who was sitting next to the couch, saw Yuan Shang coming together with Feng Ji and the judge, and couldn't help frowning: "Your father is seriously ill, if there is no matter of life and death, he can solve it by himself, why bother your father?" ”

"Mother, it's not that I want to disturb my father, but I can't solve this matter!" Yuan Shang smiled bitterly: "Although my father loves me very much, and he once said that I will succeed me as the lord of Jizhou, I am the third after all, and the two brothers will not listen to my orders." Now, knowing that my father is seriously ill, and the two brothers are worried about my father, they have come with their troops, and I really can't let them retreat..."

"Ahh Hmm..."I don't know if Yuan Shao has had a stroke, he made a sound in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was talking about, Mrs. Liu put her ear to Yuan Shao's mouth and nodded, as if she could understand his words.

"Your father said it!" When Yuan Shao stopped, Mrs. Liu turned her head and said with a smile: "Since you said that your name is not correct and your words are not good, then from now on, you will be justified!" ”

"What does my father mean, let me succeed as the pastor of Jizhou?" Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, but pretended to be embarrassed: "Although the father has a life, the child is the third child after all, and the two brothers are not something I can order!" ”

"Woo..." Yuan Shao looked anxious, but he couldn't speak, people who didn't know thought that his life of Yuan Shang was not good for Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!

Mrs. Liu put her head to Yuan Shao's mouth again, pretended to listen for a long time, and said, "Your father said that if Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi don't listen to orders, they are not his sons!" ”

"Woo..." Yuan Shao's eyes widened and he looked at Liu in a daze. Although he likes Yuan Shang the most, and often says that let Yuan Shang inherit his position, but the children of the family pay the most attention to etiquette, and the matter of abolishing the eldest and the young, unless the eldest son is really incompetent, it will never happen. In Ping, Yuan Shao said this just to please Liu, but he never expected that Liu would reverse black and white when he couldn't speak.

"My son, do you ever understand what your father meant?" Mrs. Liu glanced at Yuan Shao, with infinite coldness in her eyes. She was originally a jealous woman, if Yuan Shao wasn't still there, she would have killed all the concubines around Yuan Shao!

I heard Yuan Shao say just now that she wanted to pass on the throne to Yuan Tan, the son born to his ex-wife, Mrs. Liu didn't do anything, and simply took advantage of Yuan Shao's inability to speak and helped Yuan Shang seize the throne of the lord of Jizhou. As for Yuan Shaowan's recovery, Mrs. Liu never thought about it. A woman is more ruthless than a man!

"The boy understands, let's go and get the two brothers back to the state! Retire the child! Seeing Mrs. Liu's expression, Yuan Shang, as her son, how could she not know the cattiness.

"Subordinates retire!" In the eyes of the judge and Feng Ji, Yuan Shao has always been very optimistic about Yuan Shang, so Yuan Shang was recognized by Yuan Shao so easily, and the two were not surprised, and the expression on Yuan Shao's face, the two subconsciously thought that it was dissatisfaction with Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!

"Woo woo..." Yuan Shao opened his mouth, and let out a sad cry like a poultry before it died, but Feng Ji and the trial mate thought that he was urging him to go faster! As for the others, they just came to be a witness, and when they saw Yuan Shang and the three of them say goodbye, they also got up and left. The only person who can see through the catty is Simbi who is standing around the corner!

After everyone left, Yuan Shao stared at Mrs. Liu with a pair of big eyes. Mrs. Liu repelled the maids and waiters in the bedroom, sat in front of the couch, looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "Husband, I have served you for twenty years and gave birth to two sons for you, if you pass on the throne to Yuan Tan, you can be worthy of me..."
