Chapter 268: Dark Tide (Part II)
Wang Yun obeyed Jia Xu's words, and immediately handed over the matter of conquering Hanzhong and Yizhou to Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.
Wang Yun's decision made many people in Chang'an City breathe a sigh of relief, because Jia Xu was too good, and he was like a person with Zhang Xiu, the second person in the Chang'an City military, and Wang Yun really valued him very much.
Although it was said that Zhang Xiu was in charge of finding Liu Xie some time ago, many people breathed a sigh of relief, but after all, Zhang Xiu was still in the left side, and now Zhang Xiu's eyes on the expedition to Yizhou and Hanzhong certainly made many people who wanted to behave well in front of Wang Yun breathe a sigh of relief.
Jia Xu asked Wang Yun to completely delegate the right to Zhang Xiu in this matter, on the grounds that it is the way of the soldiers, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual.
Wang Yun didn't have him, so he agreed.
Immediately, Wang Yun announced Guo Jia's letter to the world, and Wang Yun, who had been on the cusp of the world's gossip two days ago, suddenly became the minister of Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty, and was even respected as the regent and acting for the government.
Since this matter was proposed by the two states controlled by Xu Ji, and it was issued in the name of Xu Ji, the princes of the world naturally responded in unison. Although there are rebuttals, they are minimal.
Xuzhou Tao Qian climbed to the top of the Chang'an army Lu Bu with Cao Bao's daughter, where would he raise objections?
Yangzhou Assassin Liu Miao has always had a good relationship with Xu Ji, and it is impossible to oppose this suggestion made by Yanzhou.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were already cooperating with Wang Yun, so naturally they had nothing to say.
Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui were all participants in the Battle of Chang'an, and of course they understood their position.
Yan Baihu and Wang Lang are far away emperors in the mountains. As long as their interests are not touched, they don't care who the emperor is.
Sun Ce is fledgling, and he doesn't even have the title of Little Overlord at this time, where is his turn to speak?
Although Liu Yu was dissatisfied with Wang Yun, after all, Wang Yun was dedicated to the Han family, so he would not raise objections.
In this case, no one listened to Liu Biao and Liu Yan, even if they had any objections.
What's more, the traditional academic circles in Chang'an and the cutting-edge academic circles in Yanzhou are all shouting for Wang Yun? As long as you hear the names of these people: Xun Chen, Bing Yuan, Wang Lie, Cai Yong, Yang Biao, Kong Rong, You Heng...... Who can say anything against it?
Wang Yun's life is really proud.
Immediately, the Yanzhou army moved, and the thing that surprised the people of the world was. It was the army of Gao Shun who had been stationed in Youzhou that had been stationed. They received a military order from Yanzhou: to gather in the direction of Luoyang, and the task was to eliminate Niu Fu and others. And the person who issued the order was nominally none other than the Yanzhou First Army Division, Guo Jia.
At this point, the Yanzhou army in Youzhou was only led by the lonely Huang Jun. However, no one knew that Xu Ji had already sent Zhang He and Gao Ran to assist Gao Shun, even if Gao Shun left, with Zhang He and Gao Ran, he could control the game of chess in Youzhou.
People only saw Gao Shun silent about this matter. But it stopped its aggressive political offensive against Liu Yu. is not forcing Liu Yu to hand over Gongsun Zhan. Just stay in Youzhou and do nothing. The troops did not move.
But Guo Jia, who was far away in Yanzhou, understood Xu Ji's plan to deceive Yuan Shao, and he was overjoyed. The day has come for Zhilu Dao to plot to seize Xuzhou, so he mobilized Yanzhou's Bocai army in his personal name to quickly assemble in Xuzhou.
Wang Yun didn't care so much, and now he was not worried about the safety of Chang'an at all, because Lu Bu and Yu Ban had already formed a flanking attack on Li Dao and Guo Yan.
At the same time, Wang Yun secretly passed the news of Xu Ji's disappearance to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, as well as Liu Biao.
Yuzhou, in the residence of Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu, who was pale and looked like the second ancestor, was sitting there proudly, staring left and right, with a ball of joy on his face.
The reason is, of course, because of a letter from Wang Yun: Xu Ji disappeared.
Wang Yun's words were very polite: Xu Wenlie, the horse of the Han Dynasty, the pillar of the country, the previous misunderstanding, resulting in killing, not in Yuzhou, that is, in Jingxiang, Jun is a family of scholars, when the world is strong and strong, will respect this virtuous, if there is a message, on behalf of the recovery, the country is very fortunate, the people are very fortunate. Be sure to.
No matter how stupid Yuan Shu is, he can also hear Wang Yun's voice: Xu Ji is now single-handed, and this is the best opportunity to kill him.
Therefore, Yuan Shu will be jubilant.
At this time, the ministers below Yuan Shu were all talking, and Yuan Shao was sitting aside, while Guo Tu, who had suffered a lot in Yanzhou, was closing his eyes at this time, looking unfathomable.
Maybe he has experienced too many things, Guo Tu's eyebrows are even more cold, his expression and temperament have changed greatly, and it is obvious that Guo Tu has made great progress in terms of intelligence, and he is no longer the same as in the past.
Yuan Shu was so noisy by the people below that he had a headache, and roared: "Shut up for me, there are no rules!" ”
Everyone closed their voices.
Yuan Shu glanced at his brother Yuan Shao triumphantly, and smiled at the people below: "Why did you Wang Yun write this letter?" ”
A black-faced man with a potholed face and an unsightly appearance stood up, Yuan Shu looked down, and it turned out to be his own governor Zhang Xun.
I only heard Zhang Xun say in a deep voice: "Lord, what else is there to say?" What if Xu Ji is the god of the Yanzhou army? Once he is alone, he is not even a fart! With me Zhang Xun here, Xu Ji will not go back to Yanzhou! ”
As soon as Zhang Xun said this, the bridge behind him, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Chen Ji, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le Qi, and all the big and small generals spoke in unison, and naturally echoed together, as if Xu Ji was already dying.
Only Ji Ling stood there frowning and silent.
General Yang of the long history, Han Yin and others were sneering disdainfully, obviously looking down on these rude people.
Yuan Yin stood up at this time and said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, this matter can't be gullible, you must know that Lu Dao Xu Ji is the most cunning, who knows if the news sent by Lu Dao Wang Yun is fake?" ”
General Yang also stood up and said to Yuan Shu: "Lord, what Lord Yuan Yin said is extremely true, Xu Ji is the most cunning, Xu Ji incarnated into Lejin during the First World War in Chang'an, and the Lord must not be on guard!" ”
General Yang's words made Yuan Shu's face change drastically, and he bowed his head and was silent.
Ji Ling also said in a deep voice: "My lord." This matter should indeed be thought twice, but if it is determined that Xu Ji cannot return to Jingzhou, we should really attack him unceremoniously, Xu Ji is really the biggest enemy in the north of the Lord. ”
Yuan Shu was very unwilling and said, "Isn't there a way for us to know exactly where Xu Ji is?" ”
Yuan Shao looked at everything in front of him coldly, and then looked at Guo Tu, the only advisor he could trust, who looked unfathomable, but Yuan Shao knew that Guo Tu was already in the hands of Zhizhu in this matter.
Yuan Yin is an outstanding talent of the later generation of the Yuan family, although the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is very bad, but he is generally fond of Yuan Yin. Therefore, Yuan Yin and Yuan Shao, who were officials under Yuan Shu, did not have so many scruples. Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't say a word, he said loudly: "Uncle Benchu, what do you think? ”
Before Yuan Shao could answer, Yuan Shu said coldly on the side: "Your original uncle himself suffered a big loss at the hands of Xu Ji. How can one's own faintness be made visible? ”
Yuan Shao was furious. Guo Tu, who saw his master being humiliated, laughed on the side and said, "General Highway is serious. The so-called 'knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great', 'without doing anything.' 'Not growing a wisdom' is an indestructible truth, although Ben Chu Gong has repeatedly suffered defeats under Xu Ji, but it is precisely because of this that he understands Xu Ji very well, does the highway general think so? At least my lord is better than those rhetorical people, right? ”
Yuan Shu was furious, and he could hear Guo Tu's sarcasm.
How could Yuan Shao give Yuan Shu a chance to speak, and pretended to say to Guo Tu: "Rules, if you have something to say, when will you learn the sour and rotten appearance of the rotten Confucian's tricks?" ”
Of course, Guo Tu knew what Yuan Shao meant, and hurriedly apologized to everyone, so that Yuan Shu couldn't say anything.
Then Guo Tu said calmly: "Judging from the current situation, Xu Ji has indeed disappeared. ”
Everyone was surprised, and they didn't understand why Guo Tu was so sure.
Guo Tu said calmly: "The reason is very simple, Wang Yun's regency is obviously from the hand of Yanzhou strategist Guo Jia, if Xu Ji is here, how can he put forward the idea of letting Wang Yun regency?" At the most critical point, Wang Yun's letter has made it very clear that Wang Yun is very sure of Xu Ji's disappearance, otherwise there would never be such a subtle language to imply the highway general, this is clearly a plan to kill people with a knife, if Xu Ji does not disappear, what else does Wang Yun play to kill people with a knife? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed in his heart, he had long forgotten Guo Tu's collision, and praised Guo Tu greatly, while Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao understood, and got up to say goodbye.
Yuan Shu had other important matters, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly in front of Yuan Shao, so he wished that Yuan Shao would go quickly, so of course he nodded and agreed.
Yuan Shao walked forward, and Yuan Shu couldn't wait to announce his idea of becoming emperor to his subordinates.
As soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, everyone was in an uproar. However, there are many of these people.
General Yang was the first to speak: "The so-called world today, who else is me? Fang is disturbing today, it is the time to set things right, the lord's family is the fourth world and the third prince, the prestige is unmatched in the world, the four seas are famous, all the people hope that the general is like a baby's parents, the general is only worried about Xu Ji'er, but Xu Ji's life is in danger, and his life can be killed in a moment, what is the way? It's time for the general to be the emperor at this time! ”
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Ha Luha smiled: "Qing's words have won my heart, the ancestors of the former Han Dynasty are only the chief of the Si Shang Pavilion, and there is the world; This calendar year is 400, the number of gas has been exhausted, and the sea is boiling. The fourth generation and three princes of my family, the people belong; I am a heavenly person, and I am in the ninth five-year position, isn't it the destiny of heaven? ”
Yuan Yin said with a smile: "Of course, I think the lord has a lot of grain today, and there is a jade seal presented by Sun Ce, which is the destiny of heaven." Moreover, Xu Ji founded the new 'Five Virtues from the end', and has always advocated 'a gentleman with five virtues', but he did not say who is a gentleman, and there is more danger today, now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the whereabouts of the pseudo-emperor are unknown, Liu Yu is weak, forced by Gongsun Zhan, and his life is not long, nor is he a gentleman, Yizhou Liu Yan thinks that there is a son of heaven in Shu, and he privately makes the emperor's armor and clothing, and is discovered, and he is not a gentleman, and he is not a gentleman, and he is not a man, and he is not enough. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded. In particular, Yuan Yin quoted the new "Five Virtues from the End" to find a theoretical basis for Yuan Shu to become emperor, which made everyone admire.
Yuan Shu is of course the happiest one. After all, after the strong rise of Yanzhou, the new "Five Virtues Theory" has become the most popular academic thought in the world. Now Yuan Yin actually pulled this set of theories, which really made Yuan Shu overjoyed.
It can also be seen from this. Yuan Yin really has some real talent and learning, and he knows how to use academics to create momentum for Yuan Shao.
However, not everyone is a sycophant, the master Yan Xiang is one, at this time, seeing everyone talking such nonsense to Yuan Shu, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "The lord can't." The words of the people are really the wrong policy of the master, the past Zhou Hou Ji accumulated virtue, as for King Wen, there are two out of three parts of the world, as if to serve the tyranny with the etiquette of his subordinates, and he is omniscient to the king. Although the lord's family background is expensive. Poetry and books flourished. There are many officials, but there is still no prosperity of Zhou; Although the Han family has declined, it is still not as brutal as Yin Xuan. Therefore it is not feasible for the Lord to be crowned emperor. ”
As soon as Yan Xiang said this, everyone snorted coldly.
Where did Yuan Shu think that there would be people who would oppose him? Angry, he said angrily: "Shut up! The surname of my Yuan family is originally from Chen. Chen Nai Dashun after that. Bearing fire with earth. Just in time. Another Yun: the one who represents the Han. When painted high also. I'm a highway. That's exactly what it said. There is also a jade seal of the country. If you are not a king, you will go against the heavens. If it is against the way of heaven, how can he be a gentleman worthy of the five virtues? I've made up my mind. Those who talk too much! You are an ignorant and shallow person, talking about the way of heaven in vain, and you will not retreat! ”
Yan Xiang knew that what he was talking about was a fatal situation, so since it was useless, why bother to say more? Immediately stepped aside and stopped talking.
So Yuan Shu began to daydream about himself, first he built his own name Zhongshi, set up officials such as Taiwan Province, and prepared to take the dragon and phoenix chariot to worship the northern and southern suburbs, and also set up the daughter of the famous scholar Feng Fang as the queen, and set up his son as the prince of the East Palace, so he was naturally very busy.
It is said that Yuan Shao and Guo Tu walked out of Yuan Shu's meeting hall, and the two walked side by side in the singing of birds and flowers.
Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu in a low voice: "Gongzhi, has Xu Ji really disappeared?" ”
Guo Tu nodded and said, "Congratulations to the lord." ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, what he was most afraid of in his life was Xu Ji, at this time, when he heard that Xu Ji was in danger and in danger, he was naturally very happy, but Yuan Shao was really scared by Xu Ji, so he hesitated and said: "Gongzhi, we must be completely sure of this matter, we can't afford to lose." ”
Guo Tu said secretly: This is once bitten by a snake, and I have been afraid of the well rope for ten years. said to Yuan Shao in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, there are all kinds of signs in front of me that Xu Ji is indeed not in Yanzhou. And the actions planned by the Lord can be carried out in an all-round way. ”
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Guo Tu why.
Guo Tu said coldly: "First of all, Wang Yun's letter, which proves that Xu Ji is not in Yanzhou, this is a matter that is beneficial to us, and secondly, Yanzhou helps Wang Yun to eliminate Li Dao Guo Yan, on the surface, it seems that Yanzhou and Chang'an are cooperating to avoid losing both, but in fact, otherwise, I think this is Guo Jia is about to move, hum!" Sure enough, there was already a rift between Xu Ji and Guo Jia. Otherwise, why did Guo Jia mobilize his army at this time and make a sign that he was going to attack Xuzhou? ”
Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu inexplicably.
Guo Tu snorted coldly: "The thing must be like this, Guo Jia first offered a strategy to advocate Wang Yun's regency, so that Wang Yun knew that Xu Ji was not in Yanzhou, so that Wang Yun had the idea of borrowing a knife to kill people, so he would write it to the highway general, if I guessed correctly, Liu Biao will also have a copy, and the lord will return to his residence, but I am afraid that there will also be a copy." ”
After a pause, he said: "So Guo Jia is ready to start his own foundation, Xu Ji has been operating in Yanzhou for many years, and there are many loyal subordinates, of course Guo Jia has to cut them off one by one, so Gao Shun was transferred out of Youzhou, but Huang Jun, who had only recently joined the Yanzhou army, was retained. I think there must be an inside story in it, maybe the two have teamed up. Hmph, because there is no reason to go near and far, Xu Ji's personal guard army in Jizhou did not move, but instead mobilized the Gaoshun army in Youzhou. ”
Yuan Shao asked: "The public rule is reasonable, but why is it so sure?" ”
Guo Tu sneered: "Xu Ji pretended to be happy to go to Chang'an, so what about really happy to enter?" Hum! It must be in Xuzhou, Xu Ji can pretend to be anyone if he wants to go to Chang'an, why did he choose Lejin? That is clearly the result of Xun Yu's proposal, and then Lejin was sent to Xuzhou, but I am afraid that it is also the handwriting of Xun Yu and Guo Jia, doesn't this explain everything? ”
Yuan Shao suddenly realized.
Guo Tu said: "The second is the mobilization of the Bocai army, now Yanzhou is newly determined, all industries are waiting to be developed, and what is needed most is stability, but Guo Jia transferred the Bocai army, which is best at guerrilla tactics, to the border of Xuzhou to prepare for a head-on clash with the Danyang cavalry in Xuzhou, isn't this self-defeating?" It is clear that he wants to use Xuzhou's hand to get rid of Bocai. and then take over Bocai's military power. And Zhang Yan, who was left in Yanzhou, is an unruly person, surrendering Xu Ji is likely to be just an expedient measure, I think Guo Jia wants to give Zhang Yan a chance to rebel, Yanzhou is in chaos, Jizhou will also be in chaos, you must know that the Zhen family is not satisfied with Xu Ji, I am afraid that the Zhen family will also take advantage of the situation, at that time, the Central Plains will be in chaos, Xu Ji will die again, and the two states are not our world? ”
Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed when Guo Tu said it, obviously looking forward to a better future.
At this time, Guo Tu suddenly chuckled and said, "Lord, now we have to do two things in addition to waiting and seeing......
Yuan Shao said categorically: "I know this, hum!" Xu Ji thought that after I suffered a big loss in Jizhou, I would not have outstanding military talents, I think Yuan Min's younger brothers, Yuan Ba and Yuan Hui should also be active, as long as the two of them succeed, we will hit the weakness of Xu Ji and his sworn friends, even if Xu Ji is dead, Xu Ji's sworn friends will obey me because of this. ”
Guo Tu nodded: "Exactly." ”
Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Guo Tu and said, "Gongzhi, what about the second thing?" ”
Guo Tu smiled coldly: "General Highway must be discussing the matter of him becoming emperor now, hum!" He can do such a thing that offends the anger of the public, if the lord does not take the opportunity to seize power, how long will he wait? The Yuan family is still the lord who has the final say! ”
Yuan Shao laughed.
The two walked away.
And the fake Xu Jizhen, who is already dead in the eyes of the world, has just appeared in Jizhou.
Immediately, the battle began! (To be continued......)
