Chapter 60, Hebei Changes
Ye County, Wei County, in the south of Jizhou, the newly completed "General Wei Mansion" in the city is also where Yuan Shao is located.
It is as calm as ever, even if there is a huge undercurrent in Hebei at this moment, and under the effect of this undercurrent, whether it is Yuan Shao, Han Fu or Gongsun Zhan, the three most powerful forces in the north at present, will inevitably be swept in, and there may even be the Northeast Hou Gongsun Du of Liaodong, who has always maintained an attitude of staying out of the Hebei competition.
This qiē all stems from the passing of a life, a person who has a greater impact on death than living, that is the former Youzhou Mu, the son of Liu Yu, the Marquis of Xiangben, and Liu He.
Although this Liu He was born to be a nobleman, and his father Liu Yu has become a feudal official and a very popular minister, so that he himself has risen with the tide, but although "the son is noble by the father", Liu He himself has no achievements because of his personality, although he has good ability in civil and military affairs, but he has never made any achievements, which makes him have a relatively weak sense of existence in Youzhou, especially in the army, even Liu Yu is not as good as Gongsun Zhan, let alone Liu He, and it is precisely because of this, So even after Liu Yu's death, there were still many people who guarded Liu He and were willing to support him, but in the end it was not successful, Youzhou was occupied by Sun Zhan, the former Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and for this reason, Liu Yu's old department successively put in a lot of people, and in the end, there were almost only a few people left in Tian Chou to follow Liu He.
There is no henchman army in his hands, and there are not many people available, it is basically impossible for Liu He to compete with Gongsun Zhan, and it is even more impossible to shake the status of Gongsun Zhan, so Gongsun Chan paid some attention to him in the early stage. gradually relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen now.
It can be said that such a person who could be said to have no influence on Gongsun Chan during his lifetime, but after his death, he directly caused a monstrous flood in Youzhou, which made Gongsun Zhan, who was originally in a weak position because of the struggle with Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and was a little clumsy, suddenly become more severe and dangerous.
If it is said that the external troubles can not make Gongsun Zhan, who has experienced ups and downs, feel afraid, at most worried and upset, then together with these internal worries, he is really afraid.
In fact, this is also if it happened in the Taiping period, when the Han family ruled strictly, it would naturally be impossible, but now the Han family is in turmoil, although the co-owner of the world has not changed. But for those common people, their local heroes and princes are closer than the royal family and the Son of Heaven. It may also be more majestic, and this change can be seen from the situation of these children surnamed Liu, such as Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who followed Cao Mengde in Xuzhou, are also clansmen. But he still had to go on another path; What's more, it is the young son of heaven Liu Xie. Now he is just a puppet in the hands of Dong Zhuo, a national thief and powerful minister, who can be manipulated at will. The current imperial court order is not so much the emperor's will, but the order of Dong Zhuo under the emperor's brand.
And Liu He's death is directed at Gongsun Zhan's head, in addition to the guidance of people with hearts. It is also because Liu Yu's death is inseparable from Gongsun Zhan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was indirectly forced to die, especially when Liu Yu strictly counts and has the grace to support Gongsun Zhan, when Gongsun Chan was almost expelled from the division by his mentor Lu Zhi, it was Liu Yu who took him in and reused him, and then he trained and led the cavalry in Youzhou, but Gongsun Chan finally betrayed and even killed Liu Yu, which is of course criticized, after all, now is not the time for the pre-Qin rites to collapse.
Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, although it gradually turned to the outer Confucianism and the internal law, but the Confucian set gradually affected the way of thinking of the Han people, not to mention that even if it is not, the Central Plains has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and the so-called etiquette can be traced back to the "Zhou Li", the most obvious feature is the strict hierarchical concept of "monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons", Gongsun Zhan's actions can be said to be contrary to the mainstream values, which will naturally make him lose the hearts of the people.
The people's heart is the people's heart, this thing may not be felt usually, but when it is lost, anyone can intuitively feel its importance, and today's Gongsun Chan is anxious about this.
He didn't even know why it became like this, you must know that he had expected Liu He's death, but other things were beyond his expectations, especially the fire in Tian Chou's mansion, Tian Chou himself didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he had an intuition in his heart that there was a huge conspiracy in it, but now he couldn't think about it so much, he had to find a way to settle the gradually unstable military spirit under his hands, and he had to think about how to deal with the threat from Yuan Shao. He believed that he would never let go of such an opportunity, and even Han Fu might be involved, and his idea was not wrong.
This matter is not a big deal, but it has caused some changes in the situation in Hebei, which has gradually stabilized with the tacit compromise between the three heroes, and it is very drastic and will cause earthquake-like changes.
And now the calm of General Wei's mansion seems to show that Yuan Shao has already made a decision about this, and he has indeed been actively preparing for the attack on Gongsun Chan for a while, and even as long as he wants, he can immediately assign troops in the next moment, and at the same time drag Han Fu into the water in the shortest possible time, and join him to conquer Gongsun Chan, a "great rebel thief".
If Dong Zhuo is a national thief, then Gongsun Zhan is the "thief of Hebei" and "the thief of Youzhou", he is also a thief, and everyone is punished for it.
But today's Yuan Shao is not in a very good mood, because since he got up early in the morning today, he has been a little uneasy, as if he has lost something in his heart, and as if he has ignored or forgotten something, but if he has to think about it carefully, he can't remember anything.
When he saw Xu You break in in a daze, and didn't even make a report, Yuan Shao felt a little unhappy in his intuition, although this Xu You and himself are also small, but at this time and at that time, if the relationship between the two is treated with the same attitude as before, it is obviously not possible, and this is not the first time, although Yuan Shao acquiesced that Xu You is the only henchman under his command who can enter his house without notification, but several other people will still make a pretense to report, but this Xu You is kicking his nose in the face, It makes him feel bad.
It was only then that he saw that Xu You's face was not as relaxed as usual, but with heaviness, and the trace of bad feeling in Yuan Shao's heart quickly expanded, and his eyelids jumped and he didn't have time to investigate Xu You's incoming, so he hurriedly asked: "Ziyuan, why is he so flustered, he didn't even make a report?" ”
Xu You didn't have any formality, maybe he was used to holding himself too high, or maybe he was too anxious at this time, so he said directly: "The lord does have a big event, we found the traces of Lu Bujun's army in the scouts in Changshan, and the number is at least 10,000." ”
"What?" Yuan Shao stood up directly, his eyes widened, which was an unimaginable gaffe for him now, and he didn't even realize that the cup in front of him was overturned. (To be continued......)
