Chapter 871: Yuan Shao's talent
"Such a situation is really a good thing, so we have the initiative on the battlefield, if the person behind the scenes knows this situation, it will inevitably step up the enemy's attack, then in this way, I will wait for work, and then the situation will be my final say!"
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up slightly and said, with so many scruples, without too many constraints, now he does have such a wise demeanor, after all, Yuan Shao is also able to become a hegemon, and can have the opportunity to dominate the country, but he is too good-looking, too self-esteem, this is what was instigated by his advisers, and launched the battle of Guandu, which is destined to be extremely risky.
In fact, this is also the faction of the strategists under him is too complex and has a huge relationship, and he is a good-looking person, the strategists under him will not deal with it directly and decisively like Cao Cao, and the strategists Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are the kind of people who are resolute and do not know the turn, which is why Ding Yuan did not arrange the two of them as the chief of the strategists in the strategist camp, that is, because these two people have talents, but they are not the masterminds. It's also a thousand difficulties, and no lord guild likes a strategist who doesn't give himself face.
And these two people are like this, of course, from the perspective of the winner, it is natural to say that Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, and he doesn't know how to use his talents.
In fact, I don't want to think about it, if Yuan Shao is really a mean and unkind person. Then there will be no frustration and vow not to surrender, Tian Feng is directly willing to die, this is Yuan Shao's successful side. At least he is still very good to his subordinates, and he will not have the idea of dealing with it directly.
Of course, from this point it shows that Yuan Shao is not a good lord, nor is he a real hero, he can be regarded as a capable general, but he is by no means a candidate for the master.
For example, now, Yuan Shao clearly understands what Zhang Liao meant, so he will not take the initiative to attack. Rather, it forces the enemy to attack, and in this way, in fact, there is a good solution. After all, the enemy army does not know the true number of the army, so with some means, you can hide a part of the elite soldiers, so that you can. These hidden strong armies. It is the real main force this time, the battle of Tianguan, and the hidden strength of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, the key to the real decisive battle.
"What I said at the beginning is very true!"
Zhang Liao nodded, laughed and said, he was also extremely satisfied in his heart, he felt that this Yuan Shao was a little flashy before, but it can be seen from this point. It really still has some strength, otherwise. I can't directly see through this, Zhang Liao's purpose is actually to hide the more than 30 billion elite fighting god-level strong troops wearing the weapons and equipment of the Heavenly Spirit Empire, and these will become crucial hole cards!
All kinds of qiē can be figured out in just an instant, and this kind of ability is really not bad.
"Wenyuan Zhizhu is in his hands, but it is a certain Meng Lang before, in this case, it is true that we have grasped the initiative, and even can force the enemy, this move is really wonderful, it can be counted in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Shao was satisfied, and was praised by Zhang Liao, which still greatly satisfied his vanity, and his eyes became more wise.
"This is a great goodness, it seems that we really just need to wait patiently!"
The veteran Yan Yan said happily, and at the same time, he was also impressed by Yuan Shao in his heart.
Yuan Shao was born in a famous family, but he was ill-fated, he lost his father at an early age, lost his nominal father, and his biological father was extremely disdainful of him, after all, he was just an illegitimate child in the eyes of his biological father, just for the sake of Yuan Cheng's heirs, he was adopted as the eldest son, and he had a good reputation.
In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he began to rise, killing eunuchs and crusading against Dong Zhuo, he was really a man of the hour, until Guandu was defeated, he was a very shining celebrity in the eyes of the world.
In the fifth year of Zhongping (188 AD), the Eastern Han Dynasty formed a new army in Xiyuan and placed eight captains. Yuan Shao was appointed lieutenant of the Central Military Academy, and Cao Cao was appointed lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy. But the power is in the hands of the eunuch and the captain of the military academy, and even the general He Jin has to obey his dispatch and command.
In April of the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), Emperor Ling of Han was seriously ill, and the crown prince was not established. On the issue of succession to the throne, the contradiction between the eunuch and his relative He Jin intensified. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had two sons: one was born to Empress He, named Liu Bian; The other was born to Wang Meiren, named Liu Xie. The ministers asked to set up the prince, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was very displeased because Liu Wei was frivolous and shallow, but he abolished the heir and established the prince, and he was worried that the ministers would oppose him, so he was undecided. Of course, Jian Shuo and other eunuchs understood it, and the most important thing was that they did not want the power to fall into the hands of He Jin, so under the pretext of Han Sui's rebellion, he asked the general to lead the troops west to quell the rebellion.
At this critical moment, He Jin had insight into the eunuchs' tricks, and with the revival of Qingxu and the Yellow Turban as an excuse, he asked Yuan Shao to send Yuan Shaodong to Xu Yan, and when Yuan Shaobing returned, he would attack Han Sui in the west. Within a few days, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died of illness, Jian Shuo decided to punish He Jin first, and then set up Liu Xie, so he sent people to welcome He into the palace to plan affairs, but He Jin gathered troops outside the palace, and waited for him, and said that he was not sick. Jian Shuo was forced to make Liu Wei emperor under pressure. Liu Wei is the emperor, Empress He is the queen mother of the dynasty, and the Taifu Yuan Kui and the general He Jin are auxiliary to the government, and they are still in the same record. This was a victory for relatives and bureaucrats over eunuchs.
At this time, Zhang Jin, a guest of Yuan Shaotong Guò He Jin, said to He Jin: "The eunuchs of the Yellow Gate and Chang Shi have been in power for a long time, specializing in bad things, and the general should choose another virtuous one, rectify the country, and eliminate harm for the world." He Jin thought so, so he appointed Yuan Shao as the lieutenant of Sili, He Hao as the lieutenant of the Northern Army, Xu You as the Huangmen squire, and Zheng Tai as the scholar. More than 20 people were promoted at the same time, and they all became He Jin's henchmen. In this regard, Jian Shuo was very uneasy and planned to kill He Jin again, but he was denounced, and He Jin ordered Jian Shuo to be hunted and killed. In view of the eunuch's imminent move, He Jin was afraid that an accident would happen, and he said that he was sick and did not participate in the funeral of Emperor Ling.
Yuan Shao believed that only by killing all the eunuchs could he avoid future troubles. He said to He Jin: "In the past, Dou Wu was ready to kill his inner pet, but he suffered from it, because the incident was not confidential and his words were leaked. The soldiers of the five battalions were all under the orders of the eunuchs, but Dou Wu trusted them, and as a result, he killed himself. Now the general occupies the position of the emperor's uncle, and the brothers lead strong soldiers, and the generals of the army are all handsome and famous, and they are willing to do their best to serve the general. In the hands of the general, this is a good opportunity given by the heavens, and the general should get rid of the scourge for the world in one fell swoop, and his name will be hung down for future generations! He Jin reported to the Empress Dowager He, but the Empress Dowager He disagreed, and He Jin did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's will. Afterwards he thought, "Or just kill a few of the most heinous ones?" Yuan Shao saw that He Jin was shaken, and then said to him: "The eunuch is close to the Supreme and conveys the edict, if you don't catch it all, you will definitely suffer endlessly." Besides, now that the plan has been revealed, why didn't the general make a decision earlier? Things change over time, and if you start late, you will suffer. However, because Empress Dowager He's mother Wu Yangjun and He Jin's younger brother He Miao were bribed by eunuchs many times, they obstructed them and obstructed them in many ways; also because He Jinsu was indecisive and hesitated, so there was still no result.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao was very anxious, and there was no way, so he once again offered advice and said: "You can mobilize the fierce generals from all over the world to lead the troops to the capital and admonish the Queen Mother." He Jin thought this was a good idea, so he ordered Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, to lead the army to Beijing, and sent his subordinates Wang Kuang and Bao Xin, the cavalry captain, back to their hometown to recruit troops. The Quartet rose up, the Beijing division was shaken, and the Empress Dowager He felt that the situation was serious.
She hurriedly sent the eunuchs such as Zhongchang and Xiaohuangmen home. The eunuchs panicked, panicked like lost dogs, and went together to ask for forgiveness from He Jin. Yuan Shao repeatedly persuaded He Jin to take this opportunity to kill them, but He Jin still let them go. Yuan Shao was very unwilling, and wrote a letter to inform the state and county, falsely claiming that it was He Jin's intention to order the arrest of the eunuch's relatives and imprisonment. The eunuchs were desperate and took risks.
They used the excuse of wanting to serve the Queen Mother one last time before leaving Beijing, and entered the palace again. Under the command of Zhang Rang, Duan Jue and others led dozens of party members, waiting for He to enter the palace, and beheaded He Jin in front of the Jiade Palace. When He Jin heard that He Jin was killed, he led his troops into the palace, and Hu Ben Zhonglang attacked Yuan Shu in the palace and burned the Qingzuo Gate.
Zhang Rang and others then kidnapped the young emperor Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie and fled from Fudao in a hurry. Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Kui pretended to be edicted, killed the eunuchs Xu Xiang and Fan Ling, and then ordered the eunuchs Zhao Zhong and others who did not have time to escape, and ordered the palace gate to be closed, strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and commanded the soldiers to search for the eunuchs in the palace, both old and young were killed, and there were more than 2,000 dead, and some people who did not have long beards were also killed as eunuchs.
It can be said that Dong Zhuo rebelled in Beijing, and later generations said that it was because of Yuan Shao that He Jin recruited jackals, but in fact, it was not He Jin who died by himself, and he had always made up his mind, if he directly obeyed Yuan Shao's construction, how could there be such a disaster, and when it came to killing the eunuch, he was betrayed by his younger brother again, which was really brainless, and he would naively enter the eunuch's territory.
It can be said that from beginning to end, Yuan Shao was not wrong, killing the eunuchs was indeed the best way at that time, which was conducive to alleviating the contradictions, not to mention, it was also the best way to stabilize the situation in the country, but He Jin just didn't obey Jian, and in the end, he would not wait for the other princes to come, so he directly ordered Dong Zhuo to enter the capital directly, this is not a proper retarded thing, knowing that Dong Zhuo has the Xiliang Lion, and letting him enter the capital King Qin alone, it is simply the end of looking for death!
It can be said that it can be seen from the killing of the eunuchs that Yuan Shao at that time did have great talent, and it was also for the sake of the Han family, and his talent is needless to say, not to mention that there is a series of crusades against Dong Zhuo in the back, and the strong expression of dominating Hebei, it can be said that Yuan Shao became a general, maybe there is some moisture, but this moisture is not big, at least he also has the talent of a commander, and there is no problem with becoming a general!
