It had been more than a month since Yuan Shao received the secret letter sent by Guo Jia, and when he finished reading Guo Jia's secret letter, the case was taken at that time.

Because it was a secret letter, the only people present were Xu You, who had known him since childhood, Xu You saw Yuan Shao's movements, thought he was angry, and asked tentatively: "Lord, is it Guo Jia's disrespectful words?" ”

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and slowly shook his head, and spit out a sentence: "What the hero sees is slightly the same!" ”

Why? Because Guo Jia not only expressed his intention to serve, but also persuaded Yuan Shao to set up a new emperor, and Yuan Shao wanted to support Liu Yu as the new son of heaven.

As for whether Guo Jia's performance is true or not, Yuan Shao didn't make much guesses, for example, for example, seventy percent of the corporal clan is devoted to him, and the other thirty percent, of which two percent are devoted to Yuan Shu.

Having just been promoted from Bohai Taishou to Jizhou Mu, Yuan Shao is now a military general like a cloud and a minister.

Judge, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xin Ping and other strategists, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chun Yuqiong, Ju Yi and other generals, plus the support of the northern scholar clan, what else does Yuan Shao lack?

It is the territory, although he just "scared to death" Han Fu and seized Jizhou, but he also wants to unify the north of the Yellow River, the first to bear the brunt is the white horse general Gongsun Chan of Youzhou, Liu Yu and Yuan Shao are in the same breath, so Yuan Shao wants to set up Liu Yu as the new emperor, and then stand on the political commanding heights to suppress the rival Gongsun Zhan, and then command the heroes, this idea, several days lingering in his mind, now, Guo Jia a secret letter, so that he suddenly has a heart of love for Guo Jia, as for the damage to Caifu's face back then, how can he be a big deal?

After thinking about it, Yuan Shao felt that he wanted to promote this matter, and ordered Xu You: "The matter of supporting Liu Yu as the new emperor, go and explore the tone of Cao Apu and Yuan Highway." ”

Cao Ying is his ally, although Yuan Shu only has the land of Nanyang and Runan, but he can't ignore his opinion, in the eyes of the world, Yuan Shu is at least the successor of the Yuan family.

Xu Yu had to order to do this, but Cao Ying's reply was against setting up separately, and Yuan Shu also pretended to be confused, saying that he was only against Dong Zhuo, not against Liu Xie.

Without the support of these two people, and Liu Yu's words, "If you force me to be the emperor, I will run outside the Saiwai." ”

Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up, and in vain he was full of emotion at Guo Jia's secret letter.

And Yuan Shu was also in a hurry after receiving Guo Jia's secret letter, and he was now anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

For example, people with lofty ideals today want to serve the Ming Lord, first of all, the first choice is the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, and then Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu choose one of the two, Yuan Shao is supported by the Quartet in the north, although Yuan Shu is not as talented as Yuan Shao in the south, but it is also supported by most of the Yangzhou scholars, the two brothers of the Yuan family, one south and one north combined, almost represent the world of the scholars.

As for Cao Ying, he is still only the Taishou of Dongjun now, and the soldiers and horses under his command are also supported by his own brothers, but gold will always shine, and then gradually some people came to serve Cao Ying, even Xun Yu, who had been observing Yuan Shao for a period of time, hesitated for a long time before deciding to serve Cao Ying.

Yuan Shu is impatient to expand his territory, his own growth is fundamental, the most important thing is that the Yangzhou Shi clan has been with him for a long time, but if he does not take Jingzhou or Yuzhou, he can only be anxious in Nanyang, Sun Jian is nominally his subordinate, but in fact Sun Jian is more like a guest general, Yuan Shu commanded the generals under Sun Jian's command, and did not detain Sun Jian's family by his side, and urged Sun Jian to hurry back to Nanyang to help him expand his territory, but Sun Jian didn't know what illness he had, while helping the people rebuild their homes in Luoyang, On the one hand, he put on a posture of fighting to the end with Dong Zhuo.

Guo Jia's secret letter made Yuan Shu impatient to capture Jingzhou, but Liu Biao was powerful, and at this time, he fought hard, I am afraid that even Nanyang would be lost, so Yuan Shu wanted to take Yuzhou first, and then take Yangzhou one after another, and then form a trap on Jingzhou, but Sun Jian did not come back, and Yuan Shu could not swallow Yuzhou.

Every sad Yuan Shu racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to recall Sun Jian, the people sent couldn't make Sun Jian change his mind, Sun Jian put on a righteous attitude, that is, he wanted to fight to the death with Dong Zhuo and save the Son of Heaven, with this righteousness, Yuan Shu was helpless, do you want to tell Sun Jian directly: The Son of Heaven is dead or alive, the Han family is alive or dead, and no princes care anymore!

It is also strange to say that when Yuan Shu was at a loss, Yuan Shao solved his urgent need by magic.

The leader of the princes' alliance and the leader of the Shi clan in the world, Yuan Shao is monstrous, and has even begun to "inherit the system (roughly meaning to appoint for the Son of Heaven)" to appoint local officials, because the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, on the one hand, the princes everywhere want to hold the banner of righteousness against Dong, but they also have to go to the Chang'an court to appoint officials, and Yuan Shao and other princes in other places will respectfully respect the Chang'an court whenever they need to appoint new officials, as for whether Dong Zhuo agrees or not, whether the Son of Heaven agrees or not, they don't care, after the table, they will acquiesce to the court to agree.

Sun Jian finally returned to Nanyang from Luoyang, not because Yuan Shu named him the Yuzhou Assassin History, but because Yuan Shao also sealed a Yuzhou Assassin History!

Not all scholars in Yangzhou supported Yuan Shu, and there were also those who supported Yuan Shao, as was the case with the Zhou family, a big clan in Huiji County.

Yuan Shao had to look at Shu and wanted to send someone to sit in Yuzhou first, so he sealed Zhou Ang of the Zhou family of Huiji County as the assassin of Yuzhou.

Sun Jian, who learned the news, immediately waved his army to return to the south, and after coming to Nanyang County, he asked Yuan Shu for war, saying that he was going to Yuzhou to take office, but in fact he went to settle the old grudges.

Sun Jian came from Wu County when he was young and just became famous, and it happened that there was a rebellion of the wealthy clan in Huiji County, Sun Jian was young and vigorous, and led the imperial court to kill the will of Huiji County, quelling the rebellion in one fell swoop, but also offended the Huiji Hao family, among which the Zhou family headed by the three brothers of Zhou Ang was one of the representatives of the most fierce fight with Sun Jian.

Later, Sun Jian was promoted and left Yangzhou, and a lot of credit was also due to the secret promotion of the Huiji Hao family, and the enmity between the Sun family and the Hao family of Huiji County was also concluded.

Sun Jian has done many things in his life that he never knows will have consequences.

For example, the hatred that arose after he violated the interests of the Huiji Hao clan after he entered Huiji County at a young age to quell the chaos has continued to his children and grandchildren.

For another example, when he was too punctual in Changsha in Jingzhou, Sun Jian crossed the border to beg for thieves and even went to Lujiang County, Yangzhou, so he got acquainted with the Zhou family, and his son also formed a brotherly relationship with a young man of the Zhou family.

Zhou Ang wants to take up the post of Yuzhou Assassin History, Sun Jian will definitely not agree, according to the order, Yuan Shu named Sun Jian as the Yuzhou Assassin History, Yuan Shao knew this, but he also wanted to seal Zhou Ang as the Yuzhou Assassin History, and the hostility in it has been revealed.

Yuan Shu, who was already full of resentment towards Yuan Shao in his heart, openly broke with Yuan Shao, wrote to Gongsun Zhan, and even made it clear that Yuan Shao was not from the Yuan family.

This battle for the history of Yuzhou assassination was also implicated in Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu are very disagreeable, the origin is in the attitude of the two towards the foreign tribe of Zahu, Gongsun Chan wants to kill them all, Liu Yu advocates Huairou, and the differences become antagonists in the end.

Liu Yu wanted to rescue the Son of Heaven, so he sent troops to support Yuan Shu, Gongsun Chan made a hindrance from it, and sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to accompany him, and after arriving at Yuan Shu, let Yuan Shu kill Liu Yu's generals and swallow the soldiers sent by Liu Yu, Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan officially turned their faces.

The most incredible thing is that Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to fight Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou appointed by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Yue also went, and died in battle!

Gongsun Zhan counted this account on Yuan Shao's head, so he had an excuse to start a war with Yuan Shao.

The result of this battle for Yuzhou was naturally a great victory for Yuan Shu, after winning most of the counties in Yuzhou, Yuan Shu was not inferior to any prince in terms of territory, he owned Nanyang in the north of Jingzhou, most of Yuzhou, and most of Yangzhou.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shuyin had the momentum of sweeping the Central Plains, and he was ready to rest for half a year, and then take Jingzhou in one fell swoop and unify the south.

This battle in Yuzhou made the chaotic situation of the Central Plains princes a little clearer.

The reason why Gongsun Chan counted the death of his brother Gongsun Yue on Yuan Shao's head was that Gongsun Chan needed an excuse to start a war with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao led the Jizhou pastor, and Gongsun Chan's power in the east of Jizhou became passive, and once the duel, he had the initiative, and the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao north of the Yellow River has become a trend where one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also tore off the hypocritical mask of friendship, one south and one north, although the territory is not connected and cannot produce a direct confrontation, but the two have formed political hostility.

Liu Biao, who had always been afraid of Yuan Shu, knew that Yuan Shu would plot against Jingzhou sooner or later, so he echoed Yuan Shao in Jingzhou and opposed Yuan Shu.

Cao Ying, who was condescending to the East County Taishou in Yanzhou, naturally advanced and retreated together with Yuan Shao, and even the East County Taishou was appointed by Yuan Shao, but Cao Ying, who was the Taishou of a county, had no more choices.

Xuzhou Tao Qian only wanted to hold one acre and three points of land in Xuzhou, but his generals gradually converged in Xuzhou, but repeatedly ran out of Xuzhou to loot at the border of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, offending the Yanzhou Shi clan.

After a short period of peace, the Kwantung princes took the lead in Yuan Shao's seizure of Han Fu's Jizhou and tore up the alliance agreement, and then entered the melee stage, and at the end of the battle for Yuzhou, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu turned against each other, resulting in two distinct factions.

One faction of warlords was the side headed by Yuan Shao, and the allies included Cao Ying, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, etc.

The other faction was headed by Yuan Shugong Sun Zhan, and the allies included Tao Qian, Sun Jian, etc.

Among them, the confrontation north of the Yellow River is the main battlefield of the duel between the two factions, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and the winner will dominate Hebei.

The situation in the Central Plains is not clear, the main battlefield is between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, Yuan Shu wins, then there is a chance to unify Jingzhou Yangzhou, the chance of winning the Central Plains will be very high, Yuan Shu is defeated, Liu Biao has no ambition to enter the world, no one knows.
