Chapter 137: Two Tigers Compete for Food
。 On the south bank of the Yellow River, Cao's army was temporarily camped.
"Yuan Shao is dead?" Listening to the report delivered by the scout, Cao Cao's heart didn't know why, and for a moment it seemed to be caught by iron tongs, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be a little incredulous.
Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and now Yuan Shao was recognized by Cao Cao as a powerful opponent in the past.
How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.
In the handsome tent, Xiahou Dun, who was the leader among the generals, heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Congratulations to the lord, now that Yuan Shao is dead, there is no one who can compete with Lord Sikong in Dahanzhou County!" The heroes of the past have all withered, and since then, our army has swept the world, looked down on the crowd, and will be invincible, and there will be no opponent in the world! ”
Cao Cao's face did not show joy or anger, but he looked indifferently at the scout who reported it, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he calmly asked.
"Who is Yuan Shao's successor?"
The scout saluted respectfully: "Returning to the lord, the successor to Yuan Shao's throne is his third son, Yuan Shang." ”
After hearing Yuan Shang's name, I saw that among the generals of the Cao army, many of them immediately had different faces.
Xiahou Yuan, who rushed back from Runan first, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes burst with intense anger.
Tiger idiot Xu Chu subconsciously covered his buttocks, full of kicking.
Guo Jia sighed faintly and shook his head in embarrassment, as if he was very worried about the future prospects.
"Yuan Shang" Cao Cao lightly touched his chin when he heard this, and said indifferently: "It's that kid, hehe, on treacherous and cunning." He was much more difficult to deal with than he was at the beginning. ”
When the words fell, he saw Xun You out of class, arched his hand at Cao Cao, and said: "Qi Ming Gong, Yuan Shang, although it is said that he is quite scheming, but in the final analysis, he is not the eldest in the end, and there is a second brother on him." There is a younger brother under him, not to mention that among the four states in Hebei today, three states are in charge of his two brothers and a son, which is actually the direction of cholera. It is reported that Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, has always been brave and arrogant, and Ming Gong might as well follow the example of breaking Lu Bu and Liu Bei's method to make the two tigers compete for food, and it will not have a miraculous effect! ”
"It's hard to break one person, it's easy to break two" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction: "Gongda's words have won my heart, but if you want to provoke tigers and wolves to fight." It needs to be a meticulous job, and how should it be acted, but what is Gongda's opinion? ”
Hearing this, Xun You shook his head slightly, and said, "With the current situation, there is no good plan yet. In the battle of Cangting, our army suffered a lot of losses, so we might as well return to the army and Xudu first, wait for the opportunity, and see the situation before making plans. ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Slowly turned his head, looked at Guo Jia, and said, "What is Fengxiao's opinion?" ”
"Hey, hey. Ming Gong forgives the sin, Guo Mou also has no tricks, and the words of the public are already a good policy. ”
Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, and then turned his eyes to Cheng Yu and Liu Ye one after another, and both of them shook their heads and laughed.
After looking around, Cao Cao's gaze finally fell on the strategists, standing in the most obsessive corner.
This person is a little taller than Guo Jia, but he is leaner.
He has a lot of pockmarks the size of beans on his face, a pair of attractive ears, a big nose facing the sky, his eyes bulging out a lot like edema, and his face is very ugly.
From the beginning of the tent, the man stood like a piece of wood, in the corner of the tent with his eyes closed, and did not move except for panting. …,
The whole one is a living dead.
Cao Cao looked at him fixedly, and in his eyes, there seemed to be a little more complicated look in his eyes, and he went deep into the pool, making people suspicious and unsure of his meaning.
"Wenhe." Cao Cao slowly opened his mouth.
Among Cao Cao's advisors, Jia Xu was the most eccentric in speech and behavior, and his weirdness was even worse than that of the prodigal son Guo Jia.
"Sikong."
Jia Xu's words were really the least among the crowd, and when he heard Cao Cao call him by name, he only said two words lightly.
Cao Cao had long been accustomed to this old man's temperament, and he didn't care when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "What is the calculation in your heart to provoke the matter of the second son of the Yuan family?" ”
Jia Xu's head was always down, and he didn't know what he was thinking, listening to Cao Cao ask himself, he was silent for a long time, and only spit out one word after the last word: "Yes." ”
Just this one word is enough to move all the strategists and generals in the entire tent.
For example, wise men like Guo Jia, Xun You, and Cheng Yu are just persuading Cao Cao to return to the army for the time being, and when the time comes, this old boy is already in his chest, which shows that his wisdom and wisdom are far from being comparable.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was not shocked, as if he had expected it, and asked, "Tell me about it?" ”
Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao deeply, and said slowly: "If Yuan Shang wants to inherit Yuan Shao's pastoral position in Jizhou, he will definitely play the Son of Heaven." ”
In a word, it's over.
Cao Cao listened to Jia Xu's words, which had no beginning or end, and seemed to be a little unclear, and said: "Yes, this matter is inevitable, Yuan Shao is dead, if Yuan Shang wants to inherit Yuan Shao's position justifiably, he must go to the capital and ask for the throne."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao reacted suddenly, seemed to understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words, nodded and sighed: "Wen He is really a genius in the world, this plan is very wonderful!" ”
Guo Jia also figured out the meaning of Jia Xu at this moment, and couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart.
Jia Xu's meaning is very simple, the position of Jizhou pastor is not given to Yuan Shang, but to Yuan Tan!
The strategy of the two tigers competing for food can thus open a beginning.
is just a canonization of the will, and there is already an infinite killing move and a backhand.
Jia Xu, he is really a poisoner in the world!
said that Yuan Shang pursued Yuan Tan, scolded and took the bear, and kicked and shot, but Yuan Tan was tossed a lot, but unfortunately he couldn't stop him after all.
Yuan Tan looked east in a panic, ran back to his own Qingzhou army garrison camp, and drove overnight, returning to the army towards Qingzhou.
didn't catch up with Yuan Tan, which made Yuan Shang feel sorry. But the matter has come to this point, but it can no longer be forced, so let him go back first, and then make plans after going back to mourn his father.
Moreover, Yuan Shang has already figured out a way to be able to continue to rectify Yuan Tan.
Even if you have bad intentions, I have a way to turn you into a loner.
Fourteen miles west of Yecheng, Anyang Mausoleum is the place where Yuan Shao's body is the most refuge.
Yuan Shang led the Liu family and the Yuan family. The ministers, standing quietly on the edge of the mausoleum, listened to the spiritualist keep shaking the soul collection flag, and kept shouting "the original return". I can't help but feel a cramp in my heart.
After all the important memorial words were recited, Yuan Shao's coffin was slowly lifted by eight people and slowly walked to the mausoleum.
Looking at the coffin that was slowly put into the tomb, the eyes of the sons of the Yuan family slowly moistened unconsciously.
As the stone door of the tomb was slowly closed, it marked the end of the old era, and the bell of the new era, under the control of Yuan Shang, slowly rang open.
After the purchase of Yuan Shao's posterity. Yuan Shang began to officially ascend to the throne of the lord of Hebei.
From now on, he will no longer be the son of Hebei, but the lord of all the people in the four states of Hebei!
After the funeral was completed, it stands to reason that Yuan Shang should keep filial piety for his father for one month, but in extraordinary times, he should do extraordinary things, before keeping filial piety. There are still a series of important matters waiting for Yuan Shang to deal with. …,
As a result, in Yecheng, in the former Yuan Shao's general's mansion, the first important court meeting was held since Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne.
And this time, the court meeting. In addition to the important old courtiers of the Yuan family in the past, there are still a number of newcomers who have been pulled into this circle by Yuan Shang.
Deng Chang, Zhao Yun. Sima Yi three.
There are two other old friends, who are well known to the old ministers, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu!
Yuan Shang sat on the main seat, looked at the people standing on the left and right, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone." ”
When everyone heard this, they all listened to it.
"Yuan will start today, he will be filial piety for his father, and this time is longer, which may affect the handling of important military and political affairs in Hebei, so the top priority is to finalize three major events first! I hope you will listen quietly! ”
When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed their heads and waited for Yuan Shang's order.
But seeing that Yuan Shang slowly stretched out his first finger, he said, "The first thing is about my eldest brother!" ”
Everyone's faces did not change when they heard this, as if they had already thought that Yuan Shang would have something to worry about this matter.
"The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and now my father's great cause collapsed before half of it, my brother Yuan Tan slipped away without giving my father a mourning and filial piety, he is actually the leader of all evils in the world, as his brother, although he can't cure it, but he should also denounce Chen Lin!"
But when Chen Lin came out of class, he arched his hand and said, "Here!" ”
"In the name of the Yuan family, I wrote an article condemning my brother's unfilial behavior, and spread it to all states in the world, so that everyone in the world and Hebei scholars can see how my brother treats his biological father's afterlife!"
Speaking of this, he saw Yuan Shang paused slightly, and said: "Remember, the words must be sharp, the language must be rigorous, the content must be rich, and if you don't care about adding oil and vinegar, if you can arouse everyone's curiosity, the more gossip the better." ”
Chen Lin's pen power is the Cao Cao of the past, and he is also very impressed by his first-hand writing skills, how can it be difficult to defeat him in small things?
"Subordinates understood!"
Yuan Shang nodded with satisfaction: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." ”
It's not that Yuan Shangxin is ruthless in dealing with his brother, but that his brother is really chilling.
In his previous life, Yuan Shang had read some of the Three Kingdoms, and knew that because of his poor relationship with his eldest brother, the Yuan family eventually went to defeat, and in this life, he had just returned to Qingzhou from the Central Plains, and was murdered by Yuan Tan and almost died.
And now that Yuan Shao has just died, Yuan Tan secretly ran back to Qingzhou, without saying hello to both, showing his antipathy.
Yuan Shang is not a soft persimmon, since his brother already has bad intentions towards him, there is no need for him to wait for his eldest brother to really rebel, and then find a way to deal with it, then I am afraid it will be really late.
Instead of waiting for Yuan Tan to rebel, it is better to strike first, abolish his reputation and wings, and deal with it in the future, but it also saves a lot of effort. (To be continued)
