Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fission (9)
Anyway, it's already quite cold in December, and it should be snowing in a few days. The elderly Yuan Kui looks full of vicissitudes at the moment, perhaps because the political struggle has exhausted him.
Yuan Ji suddenly walked in and said respectfully, "Uncle, my nephew has brought you someone, I wonder if you would like to see it?" β
Yuan Kui asked, "Who did you bring here?" β
"Mr. Wu, please come in." Yuan Ji didn't answer directly, but turned around and let the man walk in.
But I saw that the man was dressed in white, smiling, calm, and elegant, and bowed down a little and said, "Wu has seen Taifu." β
Yuan Kui couldn't help but look moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "It's you?" Aren't you the rumored Mo family giant Wu Xin? β
Wu Xin smiled and said, "Taifu has good eyesight, and he is exactly below." β
Yuan Kui couldn't help but get up and said, "Oh, it's rude, Mr. Wu, please take a seat." β
Wu Xin said, "Thank you, Taifu." β
Yuan Kui said again: "Come on, watch the tea." β
"No." The waiter on the side left in response.
Immediately, Yuan Kui couldn't help asking: "I heard that Mr. Wu has the wisdom to reach the sky, and he can control the general trend of the world in his hands; As the saying goes, "I don't know someone Wu in this life, even if I am a hero, it is in vain"; I don't know, can you ask Mr. for some pointers? β
Wu Xin smiled and said: "Taifu's meaning is to let someone Wu give you advice to save the current decline, right?" β
Yuan Kui nodded and said, "Exactly." β
"Hmm." saw Wu Xin groaning, and said, "Wait for someone Wu to think about it." β
When Yuan Kui heard this, he couldn't help asking, "I don't know if Mr. has any requirements?" β
Wu Xin shook his head and said, "No." β
Yuan Kui asked again: "Then why did Mr. hesitate?" β
Wu Xin replied: "Wu is not hesitating, Wu is just thinking about which way to let things develop next." β
The two couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were a little puzzled. Yuan Kui asked again: "What does Mr. mean by this?" β
Wu Xin smiled and said, "It's nothing; Wu has a plan now, if Tai Fu is willing to use it, the situation will be reversed immediately. β
"Oh?" Yuan Kui's expression moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, please come quickly." β
Wu Xin said: "Taifu can play the Son of Heaven and transfer all the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family in the court to serve in various states and counties; then secretly sent a message, jointly held a crusade against Dong Zhuo, and contacted the heroes of the Quartet to respond; In this way, the situation is bound to be reversed immediately. β
At this time, Yuan Ji couldn't help but suddenly said: "Yes, now there is no room for reversal of the situation in the DPRK and China, instead of struggling to support here, it is better to transfer all the people to control the local power, and then recruit troops and horses, which can also save the defeat!" Oh, sir, what a wake-up dreamer! β
Wu Xin smiled and said, "It's too serious; I think that Taifu had already thought of this countermeasure before, but he was just blinded by the power struggle between the DPRK and China for a while. β
Yuan Kui smiled and said, "Hehe, what Mr. said is very true; The old body really only cares about the situation inside the court, and ignores the situation outside the court for a while; From this point of view, the situation is still very favorable to my Yuan family. β
The next day, Yuan Kui went to the court to ask Liu Xie to transfer some ministers of the court to local posts. Liu Xie gave permission to play. Therefore, Han Fu was appointed as the assassin of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the assassin of Yanzhou, Kong Ling as the assassin of Yuzhou, Zhang Zhi as the Taishou of Nanyang, and so on.
Then, Yuan Kui instructed Yuan Shu and Cao Cao to bring their belongings and leave the capital in disguise in the evening. One went to Nanyang, Jingzhou, and the other went to Chenliu, Yanzhou, each secretly recruiting troops and horses, responsible for contacting the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family, and jointly raising troops to defeat Dong Zhuo.
However, it was said that Cao Cao went to the house of the deceased Lu Boxuan in Zhongmu County to stay overnight, and suddenly heard the sound of sharpening knives at night, thinking that the other party was trying to plot the goods on his body, and he did not have time to distinguish them for a while. Then he found out that he had killed a good person by mistake, so he left in a hurry.
Because Cao Cao was stained with blood, he looked slightly flustered. When passing through Cai Ting, the pavilion chief discovered that it was abnormal, and then ordered someone to arrest it and send it to the county government for investigation.
Fortunately, the county Gong Cao recognized Cao Cao, so he persuaded Cao Cao to use the goods on his body to redeem himself. Cao Cao didn't want to lose a big one because of a small loss, so he took out all the goods on his body according to Gong Cao's intentions and counted them, so he was spared.
Then he returned to Chen Liu's house, Cao Cao sold his family wealth as military funds, but it was still insufficient, so he went to his old friend Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao to find a way. At that time, Zhang Miao had a Wei Zi who had been filial and honest earlier, and his family still had some wealth, so he contributed to Cao Cao's aid, and raised a total of 5,000 strong people.
Originally, Jizhou Mu Hanfu didn't plan to follow the Yuan family's gang to mess around, so he sent a few people to supervise Yuan Shao, wanting Yuan Shao to be unable to get into trouble. When Cao Cao learned of this, he asked Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao to send someone to send Yuan Kui's letter to Han Fu to show him, and scolded Han Fu for being a former official of the Yuan family and was deeply treated by the Yuan family.
Han Fu was ashamed of this, but he felt that the matter of raising troops was too nonsense, and it was impossible to succeed at all. However, due to the kindness of the Yuan family in the past, he was suddenly embarrassed again. As a last resort, he had to ask his subordinates which side they should help.
However, Liu Zihui said: "Now that the army is raised for the sake of the country's righteousness, how can it be said that it is to help anyone?" β
Han Fu couldn't help but say: "What do you mean by raising troops to fight against Dong is for the sake of the country's righteousness?" β
Liu Zihui said: "Dong Zhuo is arrogant, does not respect the law of etiquette, acts arbitrarily, tramples on discipline, has the intention of plotting against him, and should be punished by everyone; However, raising an army is a very dangerous matter, and it should not be done hastily, and it is necessary to consult with everyone on a good strategy. β
As a result, Han Fu revoked the monitoring of Yuan Shao and expressed his willingness to join everyone to discuss Dong.
said that the escape of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao from the capital reached Dong Zhuo the next day. In this regard, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be very inexplicable, and said: "What do these two guys mean by suddenly leaving their posts without permission?" β
Feng Xian also felt a little strange, thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say: "According to the words of the virtuous brother, if something happens suddenly, something will happen; Previously, Taifu invited the Son of Heaven to transfer most of the people of the Yuan family, and then the two of them suddenly left their posts without permission, just afraid that there would be some ulterior conspiracy in this. β
"Ulterior conspiracy?" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was puzzled, but said: "Yuan Kui, that old guy has now given up all the power of the government to him, just like a fledgling without wings, what kind of conspiracy can he play?" β
Feng Xian shook his head and said, "This subordinate can't figure it out for a while, maybe he is retreating as advancing." β
"Retreat as advance? How to retreat, and how to advance? Dong Zhuo seemed to sound more and more confused.
Suddenly, Feng Xian's expression moved, but he said: "Could it be that the Yuan clan really wants to raise troops to rebel as stated in the letter?" β
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he said, "He dares!" The lives of the old guy's family are all in the hands of the old man, isn't he afraid that the old man will destroy his whole family? β
Feng Xian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that he will push it all away, and it has nothing to do with him when it comes to this matter; Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to punish them according to the law. β
Dong Zhuo said: "Hmph, the old man doesn't care if the law is not lawful, as long as that group of people dares to rebel, the old man will immediately destroy the old guy's whole clan!" β
Feng Xian couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Xiangguo, please forgive your subordinates for speaking out; If Yuan Shao and the others really rebelled, even if you wiped out the entire Yuan clan, it would be useless, and you would give people a handle, but I am afraid that it would not be an appropriate move. β
"Hmm." Dong Zhuo groaned, and then said, "Then what do you say you should do?" β
Feng Xian replied: "Wait and see how it changes, and respond to all changes with no change." (To be continued.) )
