readx;?“ General, don't you think the Son of Heaven seems to be too confident? As soon as Yan Zhong sat down, he put forward his own questions straight to the point: "The eight states are combined, this is already the appearance of the death of the country, not comparable to any previous rebellion, it can be said that most of the world is in chaos, and the Son of Heaven is still in the mood to come to Guanzhong, is it just to see the achievements of the adults?" ”

Liu Xiu listened quietly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info: "I think there may be some unseemly agreement between the Son of Heaven and Zhang Jiao. Yan Zhong sneered, "However, I think he will be disappointed, Zhang Jiao's ambition is not small, he is not a person who keeps his own right, the Son of Heaven wants to drive the wolf with a tiger, but he is afraid that he will be injured by the tiger in the end." ”

Liu Xiu held his breath, and after a long time, he slowly spit it out. He has always had this conjecture, but he is not sure, after all, this idea is too outrageous, and the Son of Heaven and the traitor colluded? If this matter spreads, how can the Son of Heaven still sit? But Yan Zhong said the same now, so he had to believe it. Although Yan Zhong did not leave any name in history, the ghost Jia Xu was the first one he discovered, and judging from his performance during this time, although he is not as wise and almost demonic as Zhuge Liang in Romance, his understanding of people's hearts is really first-class.

"The Son of Heaven will not pin his hopes on Dong Chong, for so many years, he has not reused Dong Chong, only gives the throne, not the power, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven does not know Dong Chong's ability, nor does he only know the role of his cronies. This time the world was in turmoil, but he suddenly used Dong Chong, naturally he didn't expect him to quell the rebellion, on the contrary, he wanted to use Dong Chong to contain Yuan Shao. ”

"The world is in turmoil, the Son of Heaven is not thinking about counterinsurgency, but letting people contain the general who quells the rebellion, is he crazy? Apparently not. This can only show one problem, the Son of Heaven knows that Zhang Jiao is not really rebelling, at least, he thinks Zhang Jiao will not really rebel. ”

"How can he have that kind of confidence? Naturally, Zhang Jiao showed his loyalty to him. ”

"Zhang Jiao used the name of the incident to slaughter the powerful family, and did what he wanted to do in the court, which hit the strength of the Yuan family and his followers, and solved the trouble in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and then at the right time, the Son of Heaven recruited An, and Zhang Jiao returned to the court."

"However, the Son of Heaven has a problem, if Zhang Jiao is defeated, he will have nothing, if Zhang Jiao wins, he has already occupied half of the country, so why should he accept the Son of Heaven's recruitment?"

"Therefore, the Son of Heaven must have someone who can check and balance Zhang Jiao, and if Zhang Jiao is disobedient, this person can defeat Zhang Jiao."

"This person is the general." The corners of Yan Zhong's mouth crooked: "Why did the Son of Heaven come to Chang'an?" Shanglin Yuan? Guanzhong? Liangzhou? No, it's neither, there's only one thing he wants to see, the general, the general, your loyalty. ”

"If the general is loyal to him, then he will continue to put the general in Guanzhong to accumulate strength and put pressure on Zhang Jiao, but if the general has a different heart, he will transfer the general out of Guanzhong and go to war with Zhang Jiao. If you fight a fierce battle and lose both, he will have the opportunity to cultivate other cronies to balance the victor among you. ”

"Who is this possible? There are many, too many people who have been squeezed by the family and have no way out. There are eunuchs in the palace, and there are cold doors outside the palace, as long as such people give alms to the Son of Heaven for an official and a half-position, they will die for the Son of Heaven. Maybe one or two people don't matter, but if there are many people, it is also a force to be reckoned with. ”

"General, why is Dong Zhuo at home and refuses to accept the general's kindness? Because he still has hope, and his hope is in the Son of Heaven. Although the general is valuable, compared to the Son of Heaven, you can give him too little, and you can't meet his requirements at all. Since everything about you is under the control of the Son of Heaven, why should he abandon the Son of Heaven to become a general? ”

Speaking of this, Yan Zhong looked at Liu Xiu intently: "Unless, you can give him what the Son of Heaven can't give." ”

Liu Xiu laughed: "Mr. said that he laughed, how can there be no son of heaven in the world, but I do." ”

Zhong interrupted Liu Xiu's words without thinking, straightened up, leaned back, and had an indescribable smile on his face: "Son of Heaven...... is not an omnipotent god, in troubled times, strength determines everything. Tactics without strength are just tricks of self-deception, and they may work against those mediocre people, but when they meet real heroes, they can only laugh and be generous. Does the Son of Heaven have the strength? His strength is in the hands of the family, in the hands of Zhang Jiao, in the hands of the generals, but not in his own hands. If you are willing to listen to him, he will have strength, but if you will not listen to him, what does he have? ”

Liu Xiu grinned, this Yan Zhong is now speaking more and more bluntly.

"General, this is a good opportunity. The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Zhang Jiao was the first to jump out, he was just a cicada, the Yuan family wanted to be that mantis, but who would be this yellow finch? Of course, the most calm person. The world's Jing soldiers, all in the quiet and cool, now the general holds and cool, Youzhou is the general's hometown, the left general Gongsun Zan is the general's classmate, the three states of the quiet and cool are all in the hands of the general, all that is lacking is money and food, Guanzhong fertile fields for thousands of miles, if a few years, the general's financial resources in Guanzhong, the quiet and cool Jing ride, from three sides down to the southeast, who is the opponent in the world? ”

Yan Zhong opened his arms, as if he was holding the world in his arms, and he was arrogant.

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, if the Son of Heaven really had some ulterior agreement with Zhang Jiao as they guessed, it could only be said that the catastrophe of the Great Han had arrived. Judging from the current situation, he is training his troops in battle, and when his soldiers are trained, he will suddenly exert his strength, and when the time comes, he will use the land as a call to attract the displaced people of the world, form a chéngrén civil war, defeat the family headed by the Yuan family, and he will honestly return the world to the Son of Heaven and accept the Son of Heaven's recruitment? Even if he can be checked and balanced in Guanzhong, but Zhang Jiao can't see this, he sent people to Liangzhou to incite Qiang people to rebel, attract his attention, and send people to assassinate him, how can he already regard him as a real opponent.

Liu Xiu believes that Zhang Jiao sent Lan Lan to assassinate, not that he really didn't want to stab him, he just couldn't find a real master to do it, so he showed generosity, mihuo him, hoping to reach a certain degree of tacit understanding with him, if he was determined to be inseparable from Zhang Jiao, then I believe that Zhang Jiao would use other methods to kill him.

Killing people has never been done only with a sword, just like he said to Lan Lan, wouldn't it be easier to poison it? No matter how good the martial arts are, a pack of poison can be overthrown. As for hurting the innocent, probably only a woman like Lan Lan would have any scruples, and Zhang Jiao would not have this psychological barrier. Zhang Jiao just didn't despair of him yet, he wanted to pull him into his camp and be his subordinate.

If he really wanted to be a loyal servant of the Great Han, then Zhang Jiao would soon list him as his first target, fearing that a steady stream of assassins would rush to Guanzhong. That day, he stabilized Lan Lan with some words, and it was precisely because of this consideration that he wanted to wait and see, he wanted to be the final victor, and he didn't want to be a loyal minister who died before he could die.

If you want to cry, you have to make others cry, how can you make yourself cry.

"Sir, your conjecture is too bold." Liu Xiu shook his head silently, "I don't think the Son of Heaven is so stupid." ”

"The Son of Heaven is not stupid, he just thinks he is smart." Yan Zhong smiled slightly and did not persuade again. When Liu Xiu accepted his plan before, he already knew Liu Xiu's intentions, otherwise he would not have accepted Liu Xiu's summons and entered the mansion as a Zhonglang for a mere 600 stones.

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Does Mr. think Zhang Jiao can succeed?" ”

Yan Zhong narrowed his eyes rarely: "It's hard to say, from the current point of view, Zhang Jiao has a scheming, can win the hearts of the people, and there is also a somewhat unclear relationship with the family, and he has deceived the trust of the Son of Heaven, and the means are not clever." He looked at Liu Xiu and suddenly laughed: "It should be said that he will be an opponent of the general." However, he focused on the Central Plains, but forgot the important xing of the three states of Yu and Liang, if he wanted to lose, he should be defeated at this point. After all, even if Shizu fought for the world back then, although he was based on Hebei, he also used Youzhou Tuqi. ”

Liu Xiu's heart jumped: "Zhang Jiao has a disciple named Zhang Ming, the character Yuansheng, who is the earthquake envoy among Zhang Jiao's eight disciples, and he is in charge of Youzhou." This accident in Liangzhou has something to do with him. As far as I know, he has left Liangzhou and is likely to return to Youzhou. ”

Yan Zhong was taken aback and was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that the relationship between Liangzhou and Taiping Dao is so deep? There was actually a shock messenger. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and didn't speak. Zhang Ming and Lan Lan are currently the only ones who know best, Yan Zhong and they only know that there are people in Taiping Dao who are making trouble in Liangzhou, but they don't know that it is Zhang Ming, the earthquake envoy, and even Bian Zhang is not very clear, as for Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, the Qiang people are even more unclear. Bian Zhang said to Liu Xiu that this matter was led by the kingdom, and only the kingdom knew all the things, but now the life and death of the kingdom were unknown, and there was no place to ask. It was he who also guessed from Lan Lan and others.

Liu Xiu briefly told him about his friendship with Zhang Ming, and later his friendship, Yan Zhong pondered for a moment, and suggested: "Zhang Jiao is in the light, the general is in the dark, the general can take precautions, send someone to Youzhou to inform General Zuo Gongsun Zan and your senior brother Lu Jun, let them be careful and don't give Zhang Ming a chance to take advantage of it." ”

Liu Xiu nodded yes, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter, asking people to send a letter to Youzhou immediately.

……

Yuan Shu swaggered into Yuan Shao's big tent, looked around, and didn't wait for Yuan Shao to speak, sat down by himself, took the wine jug in front of Yuan Shao, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and praised: "Good wine, this is Xinghua Village in Bingzhou, right?" ”

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth twitched, and he glanced at He Hao and the others, signaling them to choose to retreat, and then slowly put away the official documents on the case, and said calmly: "Coming back from Liangzhou?" It's so fast, and the speed with which you have counterinsurgency is astonishing. ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched, and he poured himself another glass: "You want to ask me, did you lose the battle and escape back?" ”

Yuan Shao really wanted to ask, he hadn't received the news of the victory in Liangzhou, and he couldn't think about it so quickly, the news he received last month said that the Qiang people had rebelled 150,000, and with Liu Xiu and Yuan Shu's troops, it would be good to be able to keep Guanzhong, and there was no chance of winning at all. Yuan Shu appeared in front of him at this time, it could only be that he had lost the battle, and he came back in a gloomy way, thinking of asking for an errand under his account, but when he looked at his expression, it seemed that it was not like that, so he changed his words when he said it.

Yuan Shu tilted his head, drank all the wine in the cup, and then poured himself a glass, Yuan Shao frowned, this is the best Xinghua Village in Bingzhou, one gold and one urn, according to Yuan Shu, this pot of wine worth thousands of dollars will be drunk by him soon.

"Distressed?" Yuan Shu saw the displeasure that flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes and smiled proudly. The biggest pleasure in his life is to look at Yuan Shao uncomfortable, and the more uncomfortable Yuan Shao is, the happier he is. He shook the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "Alas, I am in Liangzhou, and I can't even make up enough military rations, so I can only give up halfway, you pour it, drink such a good wine, a pot of wine has been worth my war horse for a month." ”

The corners of Yuan Shao's eyes twitched, very annoyed, Yuan Shu said that he was just extravagant, what is not good to compare, not compared to his war horse? Should I eat worse than his horse, according to him? But when he looked at Yuan Shu's eyes staring at him, he endured it again, and said with a smile: "So, ...... are you" He was suddenly stunned and gave up halfway? Could it be that he still won the battle?

"Liu Xiu and I joined forces to severely damage the main force of the Qiang people in the battle of Taoshui, and killed Zhong Qiang, the leader of Zhong Qiang, in battle, and the rebel Qiang fell apart. should have chased and fought fiercely, but the army was short of food, so he could only watch the Qiang people flee. Then he moved to Wudu, and Bai Ma Qiang and Shen Wolf Qiang ran away when they saw my battle flag, so ......" Yuan Shu shrugged his shoulders and smacked his lips regretfully: "Run for nothing." ”

Yuan Shao was surprised and funny, surprised that Liu Xiu actually won, and funny that Yuan Shu actually dared to take the credit on himself. However, no matter who made the meritorious service, this battle was won, and it was fought so cleanly, Yuan Shu's credit could not be lost, and with the strength of the Yuan family, he might not get less than the main general Liu Xiu.

Actually won? The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more incredible he felt, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's unconcealable pride written on his face, he wouldn't have believed it anyway. Yuan Shao took a few deep breaths before calming down his somewhat chaotic mood: "Since you are so good at fighting, you must not be a bystander, where will you go to quell the rebellion next?" ”

Yuan Shu grinned, although Yuan Shao was not angry, but he could see that Yuan Shao was already panicked and anxious. He glanced at the wine jug on the case, and hurriedly poured himself another glass, he believed that after he finished his next words, Yuan Shao would probably not be able to control his emotions and smash the wine jug.

"I want to help you, but I don't know if you like me or not." Yuan Shu wiped his mouth and said happily.

"Help me? Thank you very much for your kindness. Yuan Shao's face twitched involuntarily, he couldn't help it anymore. Do I need your help? You think you're smarter than me? You...... Yes, you and Liu Xiu put down the rebellion of the Qiang people, but how can the Qiang people compare with Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban is a million. The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more chaotic he became, the hand holding on the case was already clenched tightly, and his voice was a little dry: "Although I am not as good at fighting as you, it is still more than enough to deal with Zhang Jiao, so I won't bother you." ”

"I knew you didn't need me." When Yuan Shu saw Yuan Shao's expression, he was extremely happy in his heart, and added another fire. "I know what you have under you, and Xu You, you don't need me, so I asked my uncle to go to Nanyang."

"Nanyang?"

"Yes, that Zhang Mancheng is making a lot of trouble, Nan Zhonglang has beaten Zhu Jun for a few months, and there has been no progress, so let me try." Yuan Shu deliberately said it calmly, he knew that the more he was like this, the more Yuan Shu couldn't hold his breath. Nanyang Zhang Mancheng is known as the divine envoy, ranking first among the eight disciples, and is currently second only to Zhang Jiao's brothers among the leaders of Taiping Dao, and his record is still above Zhang Jiao himself, if he defeats Zhang Mancheng, then Yuan Shao may not be able to beat him even if he defeats Zhang Jiao.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he squeezed out a smile: "Then I hope you will win and succeed." ”

"It's easy to say, I defeated Zhang Mancheng and came to help you." Yuan Shu laughed and walked away. He walked outside the tent, stood there and waited for a while, heard a commotion in the tent, then smiled with satisfaction, flew on his horse, and galloped out of the camp with Bao Hong and others. The midsummer wind blew on his face, it was hot, Yuan Shu felt that his whole person was floating, he had grown so big, it was the first time he was so majestic in front of Yuan Shao.

Liu Deran, Lao Tzu owes you a favor, and I will definitely pay you back in the future.

Yuan Shao heard Yuan Shu's laughter, and he was even more angry, he could lose face in front of everyone, but he couldn't lose face in front of Yuan Shu. If he loses face in front of others, he can laugh it off, and others will praise him for his generosity, but in front of Yuan Shu, he will never get this praise. From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Shu never called him a brother, did not treat him as a brother born to a father, in Yuan Shu's eyes, he was a concubine, even if he was passed on to Yuan Cheng and became the grandson of the chief of the long house, he was still a concubine.

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! Yuan Shao tore off his helmet, slammed it on the ground, and hissed: "What ability does he have, just because he can defeat the Qiang people?" If you really have this ability, you will still be trapped in Shègu Mountain, waiting for someone to save you? Shameless, shameless, because of others, but also take credit for yourself......"

He Hao walked in, saw the mess in the tent, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Originally, how did you mess up?" ”

Yuan Shao looked up and saw that it was He Hao, his nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. "You don't know, Mr. Berqiu, you don't know that the shaft just humiliated me so much, he ...... He ......"

He Hao was also very surprised when he saw how Yuan Shao lost his temper, Yuan Shao has always been calm, and it is rare to be so moved, especially when facing Yuan Shu, he never falls behind, what's wrong today? He stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Shao, and shouted in a low voice: "Originally, the generals will arrive soon, do you want them to see you like this?" ”

Yuan Shao was startled, crossed his waist, turned his face to face the tent wall, gritted his teeth and did not speak. He Hao ordered the guards to tidy up the tent, and asked people to bring water to wash Yuan Shao's face. Yuan Shao slowly calmed down, and said lightly: "Liu Xiu has pacified the Qiang chaos, the highway has returned to Beijing, and now he is sent to Nanyang to fight against Zhang Mancheng." ”

He Hao was taken aback: "So fast? ”

Yuan Shao nodded and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Boqiu, you say, what should I do?" ”

He Hao thought for a while, and suddenly glanced at Yuan Shao: "Originally, what were you thinking?" Do you still need to say that the Lord shall not raise up a teacher out of anger, and will not cause war out of anger? ”！。
