Empress Dowager Dong's tricks are very simple, just like the company bosses of later generations, take a position out, and then let the salesmen work hard, whoever has good performance can be promoted, which can stimulate the salesmen's work enthusiasm.

This trick is not only understood by the boss, even the salesman who is used, but this trick is particularly good, the people who use it are happy, and the people who work are also in full swing!

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying glanced at each other, and they immediately ceased to be friends, at most, they maintained politeness on the surface, and became enemies in private!

Yuan Shao has Yuan Kui, the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, and Cao Ying has Wang Yun, and a large group of ministers who escaped from Beijing with him, they can't help with other things, but they can still help by contacting the princes and recruiting troops, Cao Ying has no doubt about this!

Gongsun Zhan is not like Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, a piece of fat, he can't grab the biggest bite, but there is no problem with taking a bite and eating a mouth full of oil, he also has relatives and friends, and it is impossible to spread all over the world, but in Liaodong, he has a helper, and he is a powerful helper.

Liu Bei thought differently from them, he was born in straw sandals, and there was no way to compete with other ministers, he didn't know any big people. However, he was called his uncle by Liu Wei, but it is of great benefit to the growth of his strength, he can't contact other princes, but he can be a prince himself, he raises the banner of the emperor's uncle, and unites closely in front of the queen mother and the little emperor, then he is equivalent to the leader of the royal orthodox army, most of the people value these very much, and there are naturally many people who take refuge in him, and he naturally becomes a big prince, no matter which force in the court at that time, it is to win him over, and then he can wait for the price to sell!

After Empress Dowager Dong finished speaking, she paused for a while, looking at the expressions of the kneeling people below, when she was in the palace before, she often trained the little eunuchs and palace maids like this, and every time it worked very well, there was almost no time that her subordinates were not allowed to die, but this trick had not been used on the minister's body before, and she couldn't be sure if it was good or not!

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, as well as Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, were all slightly stunned, as if the airflow in the hall was instantly stagnant, but this was only a short moment, and then the airflow in the hall seemed to be blowing a strong wind, and the four of them said loudly together: "Obey the order!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that these ministers in the court are not much stronger than the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but giving the name of a general can make them so excited, it seems that contacting the princes and recruiting an army to fight back to Luoyang is not a dream, but an ideal that can be achieved soon!

Empress Dowager Dong said: "So, when can you gather all the princes here, didn't you say that the princes are here, and the debate can only ascend the throne, if it drags on for too long, Liu Xieke of Luoyang will sit firmly on the throne, and the country of this Han Dynasty will really be him!" ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying hurriedly said: "The ministers will do their best, and they will make an alliance with the princes of the world as soon as possible to help the prince ascend the throne!" ”

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei did not answer any words of the alliance, but said together: "The minister dares not to serve the death force!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong finally found the feeling of being in the palace. She waved her hand and said, "Zhongqing, step down, let the prince rest, he is tired along the way!" ”

Cao Ying and they hurriedly retired, and Yuan Shao said: "The minister will arrange more maids to serve the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Prince!" Bending over, he went out respectfully.

Empress Dowager Dong hugged Liu Wei in her arms and asked, "Are you hungry?" Thirsty or not? ”

Liu argued: "I'm not too hungry, but I'm very thirsty, and I want to drink honey!" ”

Empress Dowager Dong sighed and said: "But it's hard for you, you have been out of the palace for so long, you haven't even drunk honey, look at this little face, you have lost a lot of weight!" ”

Their ancestors and grandchildren were talking in the hall, but Yuan Shao and Cao Ying both went out of the gate, Yuan Shao said: "Brother Mengde, I'll arrange a place for you to live." Also, when will the brigade in the back arrive? If there are too many people, I am afraid that the city will not be able to settle down, so I have to find a place outside the city! ”

Cao Ying looked around and said, "It's a good place to be near the mountains and water, and this city is also very novel, but I've never seen it before." However, it seems that this kind of city is not difficult to repair, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no need to build the wall too high to achieve the effect of defense. ”

Yuan Shao snorted and said: "It is built according to Li Qin's Fujiao Fort, although Li Qin is domineering, his means of repairing the fort and training troops are stronger than ours!" ”

Cao Ying nodded and said, "Why don't you bother Brother Benchu, how about you let a team of soldiers build a new fort according to the appearance of this fort?" We will stay here for a while, and it will take at least two months for the princes from all over the country to come, and during this time, it is not good for the elders to live outside the city, especially the female dependents, in case they are disturbed by the recruits, it will not be good! ”

Yuan Shao said: "This is simple, it just so happens that General Gongsun is here, so he will build the fort!" ”

He turned his head to Gongsun Zan and said, "General Gongsun, you have not been an official in the capital, and you are not familiar with the bosses, so you just take the opportunity to build a fort to get close to the bosses!" ”

He had an expression of "I am giving you a chance", and patted Gongsun Zhan on the shoulder, and finally said: "It's better to let Liu Bei do this, he has been in the countryside for a long time, and he should know some plasterers' methods!" ”

When Yuan Shao said this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were by Gongsun Zhan's side, Liu Bei was fine, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both furious, Zhang Fei shouted: "What do you mean by this, are you laughing at me and waiting?" ”

Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Now there are many things, it's not the time for a battle of will, Liu Bei, you have just joined the army, and now you have to take on such a heavy task, can you do a good job?" If it doesn't work, we'll replace it! ”

Liu Bei could only reply: "General Xie Yuan trusts him, and he will definitely be able to handle this matter well!" ”

Yuan Shao hummed and said: "Put all your thoughts on running errands, don't run to the Queen Mother if you have nothing to do, just leave the work of serving people to the maids, I see that there are a few small yellow doors around the Queen Mother, each of them has their own duties, you can't overstep your responsibilities and be with the little eunuchs!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Zhang Rang was furious, looked at Yuan Shao's back, and said angrily: "This guy is so rude, he really should be beaten!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei and whispered: "I'm just here, I have to be cautious, don't have a battle of words!" ”

Gongsun Chan sighed and said, "Xuande, I have wronged you!" ”

Cao Ying glanced at them, but said: "The original temper was originally like this, you look at my face, don't be angry, just get along well in the future!" He smiled, mounted his horse, and went out of the city to pick up Wang Yun and them!

When the outsiders were gone, Gongsun Zhan said as his own person: "Xuande, don't look at Yuan Shao mocking you to your face, but he may not have any great potential, the more he mocks other people's children in person, the more unproductive he is, you don't have to take it to heart." It's that Cao Ying, Piri Yangqiu, is very affectionate on the surface, but in fact...... Hey, it's strange to say, they are all children of a family, and the difference in temper and surname is so big, it's also a miracle! ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "When I was in my hometown, I didn't know how many people laughed at me, even the people of the same country, and many of them looked down on me, if I was angry when something happened, then I would not be angry!" After a pause, he added: "By the way, don't you want me to build a new castle, let's go and see the place and get ready to start work!" ”

Gongsun Chan smiled: "You have a good temper! ”

They first went back to Gongsun Zhan's barracks, from the new soldiers, to find out the people who had repaired the city wall, and then to find out who could draw, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to choose a place, and Gongsun Zhan went back to his tent and began to write letters, he was going to write letters to Gongsun Du in Liaodong.

Although they are both surnamed Gongsun, but the two are not relatives, but they are finally people with the same surname, five hundred years ago they were so-so and considered a family, Gongsun Chan couldn't find anyone else, and then to contact the princes, whether they could get in touch is one thing, whether they can contact or not is another thing, and it is not a matter of necessity, even if it doesn't work, what can it be, and he doesn't lose anything!

Yuan Shao went to see Yuan Kui, and when he told him about it, Yuan Kui was sleeping in a daze, but Yuan Shao sent someone to call him just now, but he didn't get up, the key is that he didn't take the Empress Dowager Dong seriously, and he stammered enough along the way, so he didn't need to stammer. But as soon as Yuan Kui heard what Yuan Shao said about the general, his spirit immediately came, and he didn't fall asleep.

Yuan Kui said: "If you want to contact the princes, we can contact a lot of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, but compared with Cao Ying, it is a little insufficient, he has a relationship with a large group of courtiers, and those courtiers have to help him, so we have to hurry up, write more letters, and send letters to the princes everywhere!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "What my uncle said is very true. Let's send letters to all the princes, as long as our letter arrives first, even if those ministers help Cao Ying, but their letter arrives later, this great merit of contacting the princes must be counted on our heads, now we have more soldiers in our hands, and more war horses, we have an advantage! ”

Yuan Kui said: "Exactly. Don't do anything else, let's do it now, write hundreds of letters, and send them all out today, so that Cao Ying can't catch up if he wants to! ”

The two sat at the table, Yuan Shao gave Yuan Kui a study, and the two thought about the names and locations of the princes together, regardless of whether they had a relationship before or not, they had to get in touch anyway. Luckily there were no photocopiers these days, otherwise they would have had to make copies of the letters, only to change the name at the beginning!

Cao Ying's action was not slow, he went out of the city to find Wang Yun, but after half a day's effort, he ran into Wang Yun and the ministers who rushed over, the team stopped, Cao Ying told the matter, Wang Yun and the ministers were surprised at the same time, but what they thought was different from Yuan Shao, they had their own ideas.

Wang Yun said: "Since we want to write a letter to contact the princes, it is estimated that the Yuan family's actions will be faster than ours, and there are more people sent, so we don't have an advantage in speed, so why should we write a letter?" It's better for everyone to jointly write a letter and announce it to the world, so that the princes can come to King Qin together, help the prince to ascend the throne, and be the great hero of this dynasty, so that there are more people invited by the Yuan family! ”

Cao Ying smiled and said: "Lord Wang praises this plan, this is equivalent to us taking advantage of the righteousness!" ”

Wang Yun stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Moreover, after the princes came, they would say that they were called by the emperor and came to support the prince, but it would not be said that they received the private message of the Yuan family, one public and one private, we have the upper hand!" ”
