Chapter 7: Yuan Shu's Reaction

After Chen Lin ordered a rapid eastward turn across the Shuishui, in order to grasp Yuan Shu's movements, he hurriedly sent scouts to Wancheng and Luyang to observe Yuan Shu's reaction, as long as Yuan Shu made any changes, Chen Lin could at least know in advance. After a day's journey, 10,000 troops crossed the river in an orderly manner, and then went north along the river, only four or five miles, and a team of 1,000 people appeared in front of it, which was Zhang Ba. Chen Lin hadn't seen this former playmate and his current wife and brother for many years, so he hurriedly galloped out of the army and shouted: "Yuanhua, Yuanhua." "Zhang Ba's army had a scout early on to find out that this group of people was the Hanzhong army, and at this time, Zhang Ba also took the lead and ran towards Chen Lin. Haha, there was a lot of festive laughter, and the two jumped off their horses and hugged each other and laughed. Chen Lin only felt that Zhang Ba was more resolute and calm now, and saw that Zhang Ba was safe and sound, and the army did not look like a big war, so he put his mind at ease. As soon as they separated, they complained: "Yuanhua, tell me about Li Tianman." ”

Zhang Ba also knew that he was in trouble, and the matter was not over, so he told Li Feng's matter in 1510, Chen Lin knew that it really wasn't Zhang Ba's fault after hearing it, Zhang Ba killed Li Feng too much, but whoever encountered this situation would not be able to provoke and do some trouble. Chen Lin turned his head to look at Jia Xu Gaoshun and the others, and said: "According to Yuanhua, this Li Tianman's behavior is strange, such a blatant interception, and Yuanhua has already stated that he came to take refuge in a certain place, what is wrong with this?" ”

After all, it was Jia Xu who spoke, saying: "Lord, looking at Li Tianman's attitude, I think that I am afraid that Yuan Highway will see that the lord's momentum has been greatly boosted, overshadowing the limelight of his Yuan family's sister-in-law, and he doesn't want the lord to add more help, so it makes it difficult for his subordinates and the lord." thought that Li Tianman's incident was just the beginning, even if Yuan Highway did not dare to pursue Zhang Gongzi's crime of killing Li Tianman, he would secretly do bad to the lord and minister everywhere in the future. And my Hanzhong is far away in Yizhou, and my Hanzhong has more than 10,000 troops to go to Yanzhou to join the alliance, so it is separated from Hanzhong County in Nanyang, and I will return to Hanzhong from Nanyang in the future. ”

Zhang Ba couldn't imagine that he had left such a big hidden danger to Chen Lin for a while, and sent Chen Lin a guilty expression again and again, Chen Lin was amused, alas, they are all family, and Zhang Ba can't be blamed for this matter, what else can be done. Jia Xu continued: "My lord, since I sent a messenger to question Yuan Highway yesterday, I am afraid that there will be a response in two or three days, and then my lord can tolerate Yuan Highway a little and resolve this matter, which will be beneficial to our army." Of course, if Yuan Highway is obsessed, our army is not afraid of him, our army is here for righteousness, and when the time comes, there are heroes from all walks of life in the world, and he Yuan Highway does not dare to be presumptuous. The plan for today is to go north as soon as possible, and before Yuan Highway reacts, he will meet Sun Taishou, who is reorganizing in Luyang County. Chen Lin immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed and go straight to Luyang.

Wancheng, now Yuan Shu is under the advice of Yang Hong and others, and after seeing Sun Jian get Lou Gui, he no longer treats himself, so Yuan Shu decided to enter Wancheng, and the scholars of Nanyang also welcomed Yuan Shu because of Yuan's fame. The officials of the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang all expressed their acceptance of Yuan Shu's unorthodox Taishou, saying that Yuan Shu was unorthodox because Yuan Shu had not been appointed by the imperial court at this time, but Yuan Shu's control of Nanyang County had been basically completed, and people had to marvel that it was good to have a good background, and it was effortless to control the first county in the world without the appointment of the imperial court.

At this time, Yuan Shu had already received a reward from Li Feng's rout, saying that Li Feng had been killed. Yuan Shu angrily ordered his troops to fight, but he wanted to see who was so bold and dared to touch his Yuan Gongzi's face. Yang Hong and other scribes hurriedly stopped the bitter admonition, and Yuan Shu pressed the impulse and decided to listen to the details of the rout. When asked, Yang Hong and the others didn't speak, because they knew that Li Feng was really overdone in this matter, and they just drove people away, and they wanted to take off their armor and clothes, isn't this humiliating to others. But Yuan Shu didn't think so, after hearing Chen Lin's name first, he remembered that Chen Lin had the same reputation as catching up with Sun Jian this time, Yuan Shu became angry, kept smashing things in the county mansion, and scolded Chen Lin angrily.

After venting, Yuan Gongzi is not a son-in-law who only knows how to play tricks, he is a hot-blooded young man who dares to scold Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. Yuan Shu quieted down and asked Yang Hong and the others: "The entire Nanyang County is rumored that Yuan is the minions of Dong thieves, preventing the Kwantung army from fighting Dong, plus Tianman is making a fuss, so it is difficult to argue." It is said that now Chen Jiazi has a day to go to Luyang, and at that time he will meet Wentai, alas, it is a pity that Wentai such a fierce general can not be used for a certain purpose, it's a pity, it's a pity. Originally, he was talking about Chen Lin, but when he turned to Sun Jian, Yuan Shu forgot about Chen Lin, which shows Sun Jian's status in Yuan Shu's mind. Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and other generals heard Yuan Shu say this about Sun Jian, and they had the meaning that they were not as good as Sun Jian, and all the generals looked unwilling, Han Yin and other scribes saw the reaction of the generals, and were afraid that the generals would deviate from Yuan Shu, so they hurriedly said: "The lord has Ji, Zhang and other brave and good generals, how can they lose a Sun Wentai." ”

Yuan Shu was excited, and he also knew that he had snubbed his own people, so he smiled and said: "Hahaha, exactly, there is a certain righteousness, meritorious service, and more virtue and righteousness, and there are more than ten generals in the army, how can they lose to Sun Wentai Chen Jiazi." The Tianman thing is a little inferior to us, endure it, hum, the war against Dong has just begun, and I want the world to see who is the hero of the Central Plains. "Yuan Shu is worthy of being the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, and he has his own arrogance, in fact, Yuan Shu still has the ability, but his temperament is sometimes a little impulsive and arrogant. When everyone in the hall saw Yuan Shu's domineering pride, they couldn't help but feel agitated, this is a hero in troubled times.

Li Feng's death made Yuan Shu understand a small truth, small means can only be auxiliary, and you can never expect small means to win the situation. So Yuan Shu decided to send troops to fight against Dong, Yuan Shu had always had the idea of waving the flag and shouting in the rear, and he didn't want to rush out to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, because Yuan Shu had seen Dong Zhuo's strength. At this time, with the submission of the whole county of Nanyang, Yuan Shu thought more long-term, Yuan Shu was no longer satisfied with the small Nanyang County, now Yuan Shu controlled the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang, and could gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at any time, other counties may not work, but Nanyang decided that it could, because this is the first county of the Han Dynasty. Sun Jian is a foreign county guard, and he can gather an army of 30,000 with the support of Nanyang, not to mention Yuan Shu, the new Taishou of Nanyang.

Chen Lin knew that Lu Yang was ahead, and he had already picked up the scouts sent by Sun Jian, but at this time, Chen Lin was not thinking about Sun Jian, but Yuan Shu, because in Chen Lin's opinion, Yuan Shu could not easily let go of Zhang Ba, but he didn't expect that the messenger sent to accuse Yuan Shu came back and said that he had been treated well by Yuan Shu there, and brought back a letter of apology from Yuan Shu. At the same time, coupled with the report of Wuying, Yuan Shu ordered to actively form an army of 30,000 to fight against Dong to participate in the alliance against Dong, and he was about to set off in the near future. To say that Yuan Shu's actions are also fast, and he can pull out an army of 30,000 in two days, and he has to sigh at the wealth of Nanyang and the influence of Yuan Shu.

Chen Lin asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, this Yuan Highway is not like the Yuan Highway we are talking about?" "If Chen Lin heard that Yuan Shu was angrily leading troops to fight him, then Chen Lin would not be surprised, but now Yuan Shu's appearance that he didn't care about Li Feng's death made Chen Lin very puzzled. Jia Xu knew what Chen Lin was thinking and worried, Jia Xu thought in his heart, his lord is not from the Dashi family after all, like Yuan Shu, how can it be just the kind on the surface, the children of the Dashi family have received the most sophisticated Confucian education in the Han since childhood, although they are proud and conceited, but they will not be vain people, from Yuan Shu's ability to successfully take over a big county like Nanyang in just ten days, you can see Yuan Shu's ability, or the ability of the strategists around Yuan Shu, no matter what, The power of such an interest group as Yuan Shu may be misunderstood by everyone.

It's okay for others to despise Yuan Shu, but Jia Xu doesn't want Chen Lin to despise Yuan Shu as well, so Jia Xu said: "Lord, Yuan Highway subdued Nanyang County in half a month, Lord, if you underestimate the enemy, you will be defeated." Chen Lin glanced at Jia Xu, and knew in his heart that he really didn't like Yuan Shu a little, because among the two brothers of the Yuan family, Chen Lin liked Yuan Shao more. Chen Lin is accustomed to thinking that there can only be one successor orthodoxy among the two brothers, then the head of the Yuan family should be Yuan Shao, and now Yuan Shu has made such a big difference, so Chen Lin feels that Yuan Shu is not good to go to Bohai to assist his brother, but to develop his own power in Nanyang, which is a big rebellion, so he is not optimistic about Yuan Shu. Now hearing Jia Xu say this, Chen Lin was shocked, how to develop the two brothers in the house, as long as it endangers himself and Hanzhong, they are Chen Lin's enemies, so Chen Lin glanced at Jia Xu gratefully. Jia Xu nodded lightly, it is good to have such a master.

Jia Xu spread rumors about Yuan Shu's sabotage of the alliance against Dong, and as Yuan Shu announced that he would send 30,000 troops without attacking, Li Feng's death was hasty, and neither side was willing to mention it. Yuan Shu drove the huge machine of Nanyang to run at high speed, and the 30,000 troops temporarily drawn from various counties were equipped with a new look, all of which were the most sophisticated weapons, and everyone had to marvel at the strength of the Yuan family. Yuan Shu sent 30,000 troops, the happiest is Jia Xu, Jia Xu always thinks about the future in his heart, Nanyang is adjacent to the three counties in the east of the Han Dynasty, if Nanyang is too strong, the most unfavorable in Hanzhong, now Yuan Shu has formed such a sophisticated army of 30,000, and Yuan Shu has used up Yuan Shu or Nanyang, anyway, it is a lot of savings. Then in the future, Nanyang must not be able to quickly form such an army again, which is the best for Hanzhong.

Of course, the strength of Yuan Shu and Nanyang still shocked Jia Xu, so Jia Xu has been thinking about the defense of the three counties of Shangyong for the past two days, as well as the development of Hanzhong, who knows if Jia Xu will have any tricks against him in the end.
