Let's talk about Yuan Shu and his party.

Although he was driving the speeding BMW, Yuan Shu's heart was not as high-spirited as he was on the surface.

Yuan Shu has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and his servants are innumerable, and he has developed an arrogant temperament of "the biggest in the sky, my second child". Moreover, since he can remember, Yuan Shu has been supported by the family forces, whether it is officialdom or love, it can be said that everything is smooth. As a result, he is extremely intolerant of offending himself.

Of course, a good family education allowed Yuan Shu to hide the dark side of these characters well in places that others could not observe. In the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Shu, the sister-in-law of Yuan Feng, is knowledgeable and reasonable, kind and measured in his treatment of people and things, but he is a little proud. However, this is also normal. If the talents who came out of the family of the fourth and third princes are not proud of their identity, it is simply humiliating.

is believed to have outstanding talents, coupled with such an outstanding family background, so that people in the Han dynasty and the opposition unanimously believe that in the next twenty years, the position of the third prince of the Han Dynasty will not escape the palm of Yuan Shu.

It's just that these can't make Yuan Shu get carried away. In his heart, there is always a thorn, a spike that will never be eliminated.

The name of this thorn is called:

- Primordial!

Originally, it was a year name used by Emperor Liu Zhang of the Han Dynasty, and according to the year of the Common Era, it should be 146 years. However, if these two characters are associated with the Runan Yuan clan, they can only represent one person. This person is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, who are now famous all over the world!

In fact, Yuan Shao can be regarded as Yuan Shu's own brother. They were born of one father. However, Yuan Shu's biological mother is Yuan Feng's wife; And Yuan Shao was just born to a maid with a humble status who couldn't even get the status of a concubine.

- The maid is the domestic slave of the Yuan family. The child born to a maid is naturally counted as half a house slave!

However, it was such a "maid son" who was despised by Yuan Shu from the bottom of his heart, but at the suggestion of Yuan Feng, he passed it on to his brother Yuan Cheng, who died early.

Yuan Cheng was the second son of the late Taiwei Yuan Tang, and at a very young age, he held the official position of "Zuo Zhonglang General" with the rank of 2,000 stones. If Yuan Cheng hadn't died earlier, I was afraid that he would be able to become the "third duke" one step earlier than his two brothers Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui.

As Yuan Cheng's successor, Yuan Shao naturally obtained his entire inheritance and the status of Yuan's concubine. Even if Yuan Cheng is not too rich among the people of the Yuan family, all the assets, when converted into cash, are as high as one billion and a half baht.

With such a huge wealth, Yuan Shao alone gets tens of millions of dollars from the industry every year. You must know that after Yuan Shu entered the officialdom as an adult, the support he could get from his family every year was only millions of money.

In addition, Yuan Feng was in charge, and married the daughter of the famous Li Ying for Yuan Shao. The combination of the two made Yuan Shao not only economically, but also politically, have a very high starting foundation.

So, who is Li Ying?

This is the head of the "party people" who were in charge of the court's style and discussion decades ago. It is recognized by the government and the opposition, and countless celebrities and students are known as the super **oss of "the world's model Li Yuanli"!

Such a prominent background, even Yuan Shu, who is Yuan Feng's son-in-law, can't enjoy it. Since then, Yuan Shao, the half-brother, has become an eternal thorn in Yuan Shu's heart.

Of course, Yuan Shao's luck does not last forever. Later, after a famous palace coup, along with the Han court, under the impetus of the eunuchs, launched the "disaster of the party", Li Ying was imprisoned and died. And Yuan Shao, who is Li Ying's son-in-law, has also been greatly implicated.

However, Yuan Feng is Yuan Shao's father after all. Under Yuan Feng's operation, Yuan Shao took advantage of his mother's death to resign and serve three years of mourning, avoiding the implication of this "party disaster". After the three-year mourning period expired, Yuan Shao saw that the form of the court was still unfavorable to the party, so he simply retreated and made up for the three-year mourning period of his nominal father Yuan Cheng.

After six consecutive years of mourning, Yuan Shao was highly praised. After the end of the mourning period, affected by the aftermath of the "party rebellion", Yuan Shao still failed to come out, but lived in seclusion in Luoyang.

Such an encounter made Yuan Shu, who had made his official fortune prosperous all the way, extremely useful in his heart. So much so that when the rest of the family avoided Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu often went to the place where Yuan Shao guarded the tomb to visit him. In this way, Yuan Shu actually got another evaluation of "friendly brother", which is really an unexpected joy.

Originally, Yuan Shu thought that the thorn in his heart would slowly disappear with the passage of time. However, the truth is that Yuan Shu completely underestimated the personal ability of his brother Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao claimed to be a recluse, on the surface he did not communicate with guests, in fact, he still secretly made friends with party members and chivalrous people, such as Zhang Miao, He Hao, Xu You and others. Because of his rich wealth and generosity, through Zhang Miao, He Yan and others, he gave many gifts to those scholars and students who were persecuted by the party, and soon established a huge reputation among the scholars of the Han Dynasty, especially among the party members.

Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo are known for their chivalry, their families are wealthy, they are sparse and righteous, they make friends, and they are well-known party members. Among the party members, this person was selected as one of the so-called "eight chefs". The so-called "cook" refers to the person who can give generously and help each other at any time for the sake of his friends. Later, Cao Cao was able to successfully enter Yanzhou, and he also relied on Zhang Miao's help.

He Hao and He Boqiu are also veteran party members, and they have a close relationship with party leaders Chen Fan and Li Ying. When Chen Fan and Li Ying died one after another, He Hao, who was able to escape from prison, became a "running friend" among the party.

The so-called "running friends" refer to good friends who can actively run for their friends and help the poor when their friends are in trouble.

He Yan was able to get this title precisely because in the "Disaster of the Party", he often risked being hunted down by eunuchs, and entered Luoyang several times a year to discuss countermeasures with Yuan Shao and help the party members take refuge. When scholars talk about "running He Boqiu", they are extremely respectful. Under the cover of many scholars, even if the government issued a wanted document, there was no way to take He Hao, who had friends all over the world.

As for Xu You, he was also an active participant in the struggle against eunuchs. If you still remember the "Battle of Guandu", you should know that at the critical moment, he turned his back on Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao, bringing Cao Cao the information needed for the "Burning the Black Nest" operation. That great hero is this Xu Yu and Xu Ziyuan.

and Cao Cao, a short man from the eunuch camp, in order to be praised by the world's corporans, especially the acceptance of the party members with high prestige, actually lowered his figure very sincerely, often followed Yuan Shao's side, and was willing to act as his right-hand man.

With Zhang Miao's reputation, Xu You's wisdom, coupled with the executive power of He Hao and Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's huge financial support, the party members who had been hit hard in the "disaster of the party" were effectively organized in the secret again. In addition, Yuan Shao's identity as the son-in-law of the former party magnate Li Ying played a huge role. Whether it was a party member who was explicitly ordered to be "party restricted", or a scholar and a student who was not affected by the "party restriction", they gradually regarded Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu as hidden party leaders.

In today's Luoyang City, there are comments such as "Yuan Benchu, the world's model Yuan Benchu, and He Boqiu, the friend of the run" and other comments for Yuan Shao and others. Therefore, although Yuan Shao is said to be a reclusive in Luoyang, his prestige and power among the government and the opposition are growing day by day. This kind of situation is really unbearable for a high-minded and arrogant Yuan Shu.

——The son born to a mere slave can surpass the upright concubine in terms of prestige and power. This situation is tolerable, which is unbearable!

However, Yuan Shao is a member of the Yuan clan after all. In any case, Yuan Shu could not openly express his dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao. Otherwise, the elders of the Yuan family will not hesitate to deal with those who dare to do this with clan rules.

What Yuan Shu can do is to speed up his progress in his career. He wanted to use the gap in official position to fill the gap in reputation with Yuan Shao.

However, the Yellow Turban Uprising at the beginning of the year forced the Han family to cancel the long-standing "party management" policy. Without this restraint, Yuan Shao, with his huge prestige among the world's scholars, will inevitably be able to rise to prominence in a short period of time. After learning this, Yuan Shu was first furious, and then terrified.

- The rise of the servant son is inevitable!

Coming to such a conclusion, Yuan Shu's heart was stabbed fiercely. In order to avoid being surpassed by this servant son whom he had always looked down on, Yuan Shu needed merit, and needed more merit to improve his official position.

It is precisely because of this hidden reason that Yuan Shu, who is the captain of Changshui, took the initiative to personally participate in the army of Zhonglang General Huangfu Song to suppress those hateful moth thieves.

This request made Yuan Shu's old son Yuan Feng a little taken aback. As the most capable member of the Yuan family, how did Yuan Feng not know that his sister-in-law was afraid of hardship and injury because he was a child.

However, since Yuan Shu had such an idea, Yuan Feng naturally wanted to support it vigorously. So, under the little surprise of Huangfu Song, Yuan Shu officially served as the captain of Changshui, led the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army, which was expanded to thousands of people, and turned to the world under Huangfu Song.

Of course, Yuan Highway, who was born so noble, would not personally go into battle to fight against those lowly mud-legged Yellow Turban Army. Huangfu Song, who knew Yuan Shu's ability to command troops, would not let thousands of reliable elite combat power be wasted by Yuan Shu like this. Without him doing it himself, the big and small military officials of the Changshui Battalion would naturally work hard in front of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu only needs to be a nominal commander, and all the miscellaneous affairs among the generals are entrusted to the deputy general arranged for him by Huangfu Song, and he can reap huge military achievements in peace and stability.

In addition, Yuan Shu was also quite interested in attracting a group of brave men in the army. Yuan Shu, who has an understanding of his own level of scripture and righteousness, clearly knows that the promotion route he will take in the future should be a martial arts department. In order to deal with the matters that may be needed in the future to lead the army to the expedition, Yuan Shu of course had to vigorously recruit a group of capable warriors.

If you can't learn from the overlord Xiang Yu's personal perseverance, you can always learn from Emperor Gaozu's "good general", right?

ps: When Han Xin, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, was discussing the art of war with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang asked Han Xin: "How many soldiers and horses can a person like me lead?" Han Xin replied, "At most, I will bring 100,000 people." Liu Bang asked again: "How much can you bring if you lead soldiers?" Han Xin said: "Of course the more I have, the better!" ”

Liu Bang, who felt faceless, asked: "The more soldiers you can bring, the better, how can you be caught by me?" Han Xin replied: "These are two different things, although Gaozu can't lead too many troops, but His Majesty is good at using generals [i.e., "good generals"), so I was caught by you." ”
