Chapter 55: The knife is fast and the neck is hard

Standing outside the north gate of Yecheng, he frowned and looked up at the city wall that was being built to add high school, and he was very angry.

Yecheng is the seat of Wei County, and there are four acropolises such as Pingyang City, Wucheng, Jiuhou City, and Dirty City around it, and it is only more than 120 miles away from the Liyang Ferry that goes south to the Yellow River, and it is only more than 190 miles away from Huguan, the throat artery that enters Bingzhou.

Wei County is located in the south of Jizhou, adjacent to Sili, is the only place for Youzhou and Hebei to enter and exit Luoyang and Yanzhou, and the geographical location is very important. As long as you control Yecheng, it is equivalent to controlling Wei County, and controlling Wei County is equivalent to taking the most lush piece of land from Jizhou.

Now Yuan Shao has seized the land of Wei County without Han Fu's consent, expelled the former Taishou and all the officials in the county, and privately appointed his wife's brother Li Fu as the county guard, what is the difference between such an act and bandits and robbers?

And what's worse is that Yuan Shao did this, which is tantamount to a very bad start - in the future, the princes everywhere will follow suit, and they will arrange local officials casually without inviting the imperial court, and the result will be that the nominal central court will lose its orthodox influence even more.

If whoever has strong soldiers and horses can act recklessly, in the future, everyone will be reckless and divide one side, and there will be no peace in this world!

While thinking about the matching, a group of people walked out of the north gate, but the first one was Guo Tu, an old acquaintance of the matching.

"Brother Zhengnan is coming north, Yuan Gong asked me to come to greet him, and please come into the city with me!"

For Guo Tu, the trial has always been unpleasant, because he felt that Guo Tu, as a subordinate of Han Fu, should do his best to assist, how could he still help the senior cadres lobby Han Fu to let Xian give Yuan Shao? Isn't this a typical eating inside and out?

Because he didn't like it in his heart, he returned the salute to Guo Tu expressionlessly, and then said, "And lead the way in front." ”

Guo Tu saw the expression of the trial that everyone owed him a sum of money, and he was too lazy to make friends, so he turned his head and led the way in front, without asking why the trial came from.

It seems that Yuan Shao instructed that when Guo Tu led the trial to walk in Yecheng, he did not go directly to the county guard mansion where Yuan Shao now lives, but first took Guo Tu to visit a crowded and well-trained barracks "for free", and then visited the warehouse where grain, grass and armor were stored.

The judge naturally knew about Guo Tu's little trick, so his already calm face was stretched longer. Yuan Shao took the grain and grass armor he snatched from Jizhou to show off to the current Jizhou Zhizhong, do you say that the trial of the rectum can be happy?

When he saw Yuan Shao, he stood in front of a large group of people with a full stomach of anger, but he looked at Yuan Shao without moving, and actually asked Yuan Shao to salute him first!

Although it is a chaotic time when etiquette is broken, everyone will still abide by the etiquette on the scene, and the scholars and doctors also strictly abide by etiquette when they meet each other, after all, no one wants to have a reputation for being rude and disrespectful.

In terms of etiquette, whoever salutes the other party first means that the status is lower than that of the person who receives the gift, and the judge now sees Yuan Shao and does not salute first, which means that his status is higher than Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's former general Wen Chou saw that the trial was so "not good", he pulled out the saber on his waist, and came to the trial in a few steps. When you meet Yuan Gong, why don't you go forward to salute! ”

Judging in Gaoyi, he is a well-known "second pole", and even the good old man Han Fu has been hit by him a few times with stomach pain, but he is really not afraid of others holding a knife on his neck. I saw him smile contemptuously and say coldly: "Hmph! You ugly ghost, you really don't know how to be rude! I am engaged in the governance of Jizhou, Yuan Benchu is the Bohai Sea Taishou, how can there be a reason for the Shangguan to salute the lower officials first! ”

Wen Chou is brave and martial, and Yan Liangyi married Jinlan, and is known as the "two tigers in the river" in Hebei. The two of them both came to vote when Yuan Shao served as the leader of the Dong League, and now they are the second general in front of Yuan Shao's account, and their status among the generals is second only to Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan and Yuan Shao's old partner Chun Yuqiong.

There is a saying that "scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, and hitting people does not slap their faces", although Wen Chou's appearance is not very good, his complexion is dark, and his face is full of horizontal meat, but he can be scolded as an ugly ghost in public, how can you let him bear it, so as soon as the words of the trial matched, Wen Chou, who had all his hair, raised his knife to cut the trial.

"General Wen, stop!"

Yuan Shao, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up and stopped Wen Chou.

To be honest, at this time, Yuan Shao really wanted to see Wen Chou cut down this immortal trial with a knife, but he couldn't let Wen Chou really do this.

Although the trial has lost his face, what people said is right, now Yuan Shao's nominal position is still Bohai Taishou, even if he actually controls the territory of three and a half counties, even if Bohai County is now robbed by Gongsun Zhan, before the official appointment of the imperial court, this Jizhou should be Han Fu in charge from a legal point of view!

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao tried his best to coerce Han Fu to give up the position of Jizhou pastor.

As long as Han Fu announced in public that he was willing to give up Jizhou, then Yuan Shao could take over Jizhou justifiably, even if the appointment document of the imperial court was not available, but it was feasible in the eyes of outsiders. But if Han Fu didn't agree, as long as Han Fu was still in Jizhou for a day, then even if he Yuan Shao snatched the entire Jizhou, the people of the world would still not agree.

This is the so-called "potential", this is the so-called "righteousness" and "fame", the reason why Cao Heizi was able to turn over and unify the north of the Yangtze River is because he followed Xun Yu's advice and welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xudu, and since then he has conquered Buchen under the banner of the Son of Heaven, because he occupies the largest power and name in the world.

If Yuan Shao sat back and watched Wen Chou kill the trial match today, maybe in a few days, Han Fu, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu and even Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Dongjun, would join in and attack him together! What's more, the reason why he is living a prosperous life now, even Han Fu and Liu Yu acquiesced to his occupation of one-third of Jizhou, because he gained prestige after serving as the leader of the Dong League last year, and because Han Fu did deduct the supply of grain and grass in the later stage of the battle against Dong Zhuo.

In other words, Yuan Shao still has a certain amount of morality, but if he kills the trial, then the previous business will be completely in vain. Such negative examples are not absent, in history, Cao Heizi killed Chen Liutai and Zhang Miao in a fit of anger, and how much chaos did it cause? Chen Gong rebelled directly, and teamed up with Lu Bu to occupy Cao Cao's lair, and almost didn't kill Lao Cao.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, which is the words of the scribe himself to others; Soldiers cannot be killed or humiliated, it is for the lord who wants to subdue the hearts of the people in the world.

Although Wen Chou has a short temperament, he is definitely not as well-developed and simple-minded as described in the romance, when he heard Yuan Shao's words to stop, he put away the saber very well, and then glared at the judge fiercely and said, "Don't be in a hurry when you kill you!" He returned to the ranks of the station shifters.

Wen Chou does not kill the trial, that is because he obeys the orders of the lord, but Yuan Shao did not say that he is not allowed to scold, this sentence "Don't be in a hurry when you kill the old man" has a rich meaning, which is not only like the threat of Chiguoguo, but also seems to be a demonstration and declaration, which means that Jizhou will sooner or later fall into the hands of the lord Yuan Shao, and then he Wen Chou can find a reason to kill people justifiably!

Yuan Shao reluctantly got up from his seat, and then saluted with a fist at the judge.

"Yuan has seen Mr. Zhengnan."

Although the judge has a hard neck, he is not a pedantic person, and when he saw that Yuan Shao was soft, he returned the courtesy, and then said: "On the order of Han Zhoumu, I have come to invite Yuan Junshou to Anping Xindu to discuss Dong's major affairs, and please don't refuse." ”

After saying this, the judge took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, and then motioned to the waiter to present it to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao already understood the intention of the trial at this time, and the so-called "discussing Dong affairs" was still a cloth of shame. Jizhou is now divided into three points, everyone has their own calculations, and they don't want to get together to fight for life and death for the time being, so they need the three parties to sit down and demarcate a temporary boundary and set some terms for peaceful coexistence, otherwise the soldiers of all parties will have endless conflicts in private because they are not restrained, and it will cause some troubles that cannot be ended.

Everyone is very busy, Qingzhou and Bingzhou have a large area of territory waiting to be received, where is the heart to die in Jizhou at this time?

Yuan Shao was also willing to have a good talk with Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan, and after reading Han Fu's letter, he raised his head and said to the judge: "The letter is located in the center of Jizhou, which is convenient for all parties to gather, but I don't know who controls this place now?" ”

The meaning of Yuan Shao's words is that Anping Guo is not under his control, if it is still controlled by Han Fu, he is not afraid, after all, Han Fu is a well-known good man, and it is impossible to do something like Hongmen Banquet, but if Anping falls into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Yuan Shao to send someone over?

The judge understood Yuan Shao's worries, and said with a relaxed face: "Yuan Junshou doesn't have to worry, now Anping Kingdom is neither under the control of Gongsun Zhan nor under the control of Han Zhoumu, but is temporarily entrusted to Liu Hegongzi, the special envoy of the Son of Heaven. ”

"What? Liu He! Yuan Shao said with some surprise. How can Han Zhoumu be so ridiculous? Putting a huge Anping country in the hands of a yellow-mouthed child, what does he know! ”

What Yuan Shao said sounded a little sour.

"Yuan Junshou may not have understood, but it is just a temporary trusteeship. In order to reassure everyone, Hanzhou Mu came up with this strategy. With Liu Gongzi as a witness at that time, presumably Yuan Junshou can rest assured, right? The judge asked.

"Okay, according to the invitation of Han Zhoumu, Yuan will send someone to go at that time!"

After reviewing the matter, he said goodbye and left, and went to the post house to rest. Yuan Shao had no interest in hosting a banquet for him, and he was even less interested in accompanying a group of wolf-like guys in front of Yuan Shao's tent.

"My lord, there is a sentence that needs to be paid attention to." Xu You reminded.

"Which one?"

"He only said that Han Fu handed over Anping to Liu He, and did not mention whether he would take it back after the alliance, but Liu He must not be able to stay in Anping for a long time......

"What does Ziyuan mean?" Yuan Shao's heart suddenly moved.

"If we secretly negotiate with that Liu He, maybe we can bring An Pingguo without using swords."
