Chapter 739 Taishan County Changed Banners
Luoyang was burned by Dong Zhuo, the Son of Heaven was taken to Chang'an, and then Tongguan was blocked, Guanzhong and Guandong were isolated, what is the most direct impact of this situation on the Central Plains and the local governments outside the Guan?
In fact, there is no way to deport the taxes that should have been drawn to the imperial court, and now no one is a fool, and they all understand that even if you want to send taxes to Guanzhong at this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shu, who controls the entire division, will not agree, so everyone simply does not deport the central taxes, and the bold ones are directly used or greedy, and the timid ones are stored in the treasury.
Then with the rise of several princes in the Central Plains, the territory under their control naturally had to pay taxes to these princes, just like the Ying Shao of Taishan County, his taxes were deported to Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, although Yuan Yi was closer to him, but Yuan Yu did not ask him for taxes, but Liu Dai continued to urge, so after the summer harvest, Ying Shao was ready to transport the taxes to Liu Dai.
Who knows, at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly made a force to go south, took Jinan County in one fell swoop, and became neighbors with Ying Shao, so Ying Shao's trouble came.
Ying Shao's entanglement is actually easy to understand, let's first take a look at the distribution of power in Yanzhou.
The northeasternmost Jibei country is Bao Xin's territory, and this person's attitude is strange, if he says it well, he is a loyal minister, and if he doesn't listen to what he says, if he doesn't say it well, he thinks too much of himself.
Then Taishan County in the east was in charge of Ying Shao, Gai Yin Ying Shao was an excellent local official, the excellent place is that he ruled by doing nothing, concentrating on the development of education popularization and agricultural extension work, and did not seize power at all, and the power was controlled by the local clan, which was the core of the politics of the Western Han Dynasty and Huang Lao.
The central Shanyang County and Rencheng County were in the hands of Yuan Yi, and then Liu Dai controlled the four counties of Lu County, Dongping, Dongjun and Jiyin, and these four counties just half surrounded Yuan Yi's territory, especially Lu County, which was directly sandwiched between Mount Tai and Rencheng.
In the end, it is Chen Liu, Chen Liu is Zhang Miao's territory, Zhang Miao is now frightened by Yuan Shu, waiting for Lu Bu's reinforcements restlessly, and he can't take care of the affairs in the east of Yanzhou at all, even if he wants to Gu, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability.
After taking a look like this, it is clear that the status of Taishan County is important, that is, because once Taishan County hands over the taxes to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's army will enter Taishan County, and Lu County has become a gap between the two brothers of the Yuan family.
Ying Shao is not a fool, it's just that his temperament is relatively gentle, and he doesn't have the courage to cut through obstacles and obstacles, so he knows that it is not a good thing for the local clan to control power, but the local situation has been formed for two or three hundred years, and the local clan is extremely powerful, and the local people are also accustomed to this, and the two sides naturally maintain this relationship.
Therefore, Ying Shao put the focus of governance on the direction of improved governance, paid attention to the improvement of local people's livelihood and education, and worked hard to reconcile and alleviate the contradictions between the local people and the common people, so he also won a good reputation for himself. Therefore, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because Taishan County shared the same hatred, it did not suffer much from the scourge of the Yellow Turban Army.
So now there is a situation that endangers the safety of Taishan County, as the head of Taishan County, Ying Shao did not dare to be exclusive to the fate of Taishan County, so he summoned the so-called village elders of Taishan County, in fact, the local clan to discuss together, whether to continue to stand on Liu Dai's side, or to fall to Yuan Shao, who has a stronger army.
"At the beginning, the affairs of Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom were logical, and there was no need to move troops to fight, at that time, General Yan Liang was pushed to Taishan County, and General Gao Lan's troops were stationed in Jibei Kingdom, and Liu Dai was slowly oppressed. However, now because the northern part of Qingzhou has not done its best, although a compromise has been reached with Kong Rong Fang Zhiwen, battles between Yiren still occur from time to time, so heavy troops have to be stationed in Le'an and Jinan. If you want to continue the Central Plains strategy, I suggest completely abandoning the territory of Le'an County and ending the unstable situation in the northern part of Qingzhou as soon as possible. ”
Xu You's suggestion is very bold, it can be said that it is a bit of a slap in the face, but Yuan Shao, who has suffered enough in Qingzhou, can't be angry, the responsibility for this matter is indeed on himself, if he is reckless, he is still the one who suffers, and now Qingzhou and Yanzhou choose one of them is indeed right, and the most important thing is that it is now a secret talk between the two, in front of Xu You, Yuan Shao is not embarrassed.
"Ziyuan's thoughts coincide with mine, but I don't know if Kong Rong and Fang Zhiwen will accept our kindness1
"That's for sure, Fang Zhiwen had no intention of fighting us in Qingzhou, if it was forgotten at that time, it wouldn't be interesting to talk about it after the matter was over, let's talk about it now."
Yuan Shao laughed slightly embarrassedly, and quickly picked up the teacup to hide his shame.
Xu You glanced at Yuan Shao with some amusement, and no longer chased this matter, although Xu You was also very unwilling, the original good situation was so much that it was not up to it, and now he is still asking Fang Zhiwen, Xu You's heart must be unwilling, but unwilling can't change the facts, so don't dwell on the past, but look forward to the future.
"At the beginning, you also know Kong Rong, his temperament has no ambition at all, so if we are willing to give in, he will definitely accept it. As for Fang Zhiwen, although this person is cunning, he is not a very unreasonable person, on the contrary, he is a mercenary person, so as long as you analyze it from the perspective of interests, it can be seen that continuing to fight in the north of Qingzhou will not benefit Fang Zhiwen at all. ”
Yuan Shao nodded, admitting that Xu You's analysis was right, and extending from this analysis result, on the issue of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Yuan Shao easily came to the conclusion that it was definitely better to take Yanzhou first.
Especially now the situation in Yanzhou is too good, Yuan Shubing pressed Zhang Miao, firmly attracted Zhang Miao's energy, Cao Cao went south to Huainan, lost the opportunity to meddle in the changes in Yanzhou, as for Bao Xin and Liu Dai, in fact, Yuan Shao did not take them into account, Yuan Shao needs to worry about is just whether he can effectively grasp the expansion of the territory, and will not form a big and loose situation.
"Well, that's true, but after Jinan, it's okay to say that if you annex Taishan County again, will you be hostile to the Taishan Yellow Turban thieves?"
Xu You twisted his goatee and smiled, his eyes narrowed: "Even if Ben Yuan didn't take Taishan County, wouldn't the Yellow Turban Thief be hostile to Ben Chu?" Don't forget that Jinan County also borders Mount Tai, besides, Mount Tai County was able to protect itself when the Yellow Turban Thieves were at their peak. ”
Yuan Shao thought about it, isn't this the truth, I often heard the eldest brother say that Ying Shao is a talented person who can govern Taishan County like an iron bucket, but it is not something that ordinary people can do, as long as Ying Shao can be subdued, it is estimated that Taishan County will be a big deal.
In the future, if Lu County is taken according to the situation, it will be connected with Yuan Yi's territory, and if Bao Xin can also be subdued, then Yanzhou will become Yuan Shao's bag, and Liu Dai, an incompetent person, is obviously not looked at by Yuan Shao.
Thinking of the smugness, Yuan Shao couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed, and his usual cheerful smile appeared on his face again, Xu You didn't dare to be so optimistic, a plan is always a plan, if the implementation is unfavorable, no matter how good the plan is, it will be in vain, and the plan of the three counties of Qingzhou in front of him almost failed is a lesson.
Ying Shao's meeting was very difficult, because everyone's opinions were not consistent, but the original intention was the same, that is, Taishan County must not be allowed to suffer the baptism of war, the tragic situation of Si Li is still in front of us, everyone has an extreme fear of war, especially their families who enjoy the benefits accumulated for generations, once the war comes, their own bottles and cans can not be saved, the most important thing is that the land accumulated by the ancestors can not be kept, this foundation falls, no matter how big the family is finished.
Therefore, everyone was actually out of prudence and held their own opinions, and in the end the meeting still did not reach a conclusion, but did not wait for them to discuss, but Yuan Shao quickly reached an agreement with Kong Rong, took the initiative to abandon Le'an County, pulled out the troops, and pressed them to the north of Taishan County, making a posture of attacking at any time.
On the other hand, Wen Chou's troops went west to intimidate Jibeiguo, and Yuan Yi also gathered troops and made a posture that was ready to move, which frightened Liu Dai day and night.
Such a stark contrast made the clans of Taishan County quickly recognize the situation in front of them, Liu Dai is a paper tiger, and the real terrifying is Yuan Shao.
Therefore, under the explanation and persuasion of Chen Lin, the representative sent by Yuan Shao, the clans of Taishan County unified their thinking and decided to take refuge in Yuan Shao, after all, the conditions given by Yuan Shao were still very generous, not only did not change all the rules and official positions of Taishan County, but also promised that the clans of Taishan County could send young Junjie to Nanpi to serve, and as for Jinan, a large number of officials were also needed, and the children of the Taishan County could also be considered.
And what the clans of Taishan County need to pay is only the taxes that are usually handed over to the central government and handed over to Yuan Shao, and the other is that Yuan Shao's troops will be stationed in Taishan County, which is equivalent to paying nothing for the clans of Taishan County, everything is the same as the original, for these old clans, everything will not change, and maintaining the status quo is the best policy.
So, when the wedding was being held in Miyun City, Taishan County quietly changed the direction of their tax deportation to a different place, and sent it directly to Dongping Mausoleum in Jinan, instead of sending it to Liu Dai in Jiyin, as for Liu Dai, in addition to scolding Ying Shao at home for being a father and usurping rebellion, there is no better way, to be honest, he really doesn't dare to start a war with Yuan Shao now.
Liu Dai thought hard for a long time, and finally decided to send an envoy to Puyang to see Han Fu, and at the same time sent an envoy to Jinyang and Chen Liu, but we can't find a helper!! ~!
