Chapter 37: Yuan Shao of "Tai Sui" (1)
In the back garden of Xiangguo's mansion, Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to find Zhang Ji to return to Chang'an, and he fell into deep thought.
To say that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was the strongest, and he was followed by Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, but although Dong Zhuo's strength was strong, there were many internal problems.
At present, a series of arrangements are made to solve internal problems first.
If the internal problems are not solved, and there will be another "group of heroes to fight Dong", then their situation will be very uncomfortable.
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly, he needed an opportunity.
If nothing else, this opportunity will arise next year.
Among the forces under his own command, there are now two righteous sons, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, who are in charge of the army, and the Liangzhou family is a descendant.
The officials of the court are currently in order, as long as they don't get rid of accidents, they will do things honestly.
Now that his military strength has stabilized, his political disadvantage has begun to gradually change, and only the shortcomings in his prestige will not be able to make up for it for a while.
However, it will only take less than a year for the prestige gap to be filled, and in less than a year he must find a way to maximize the war potential.
And when he is developing, others will not stop, and now Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan occupies Youzhou, which are the three biggest troubles.
We have to find a way to solve these problems.
Just when Dong Zhuo was thinking about how to solve the big troubles of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, who is now in Jizhou, also had such thoughts in his heart.
Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family in Runan, the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, and the general He Jinpeng, who successively served as a lieutenant of the Chinese military and a lieutenant of the division of the army, and participated in the command of the killing of eunuchs.
Later, he served as the Taishou of Bohai and canonized the Marquis of Yixiang.
In the first year of Chuping, he served as the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, led the troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and called himself the general of the chariot cavalry.
At that time, he was so high-spirited, and the heroes of the Kwantung region were all under his command, thinking about the scene when he killed the eunuchs.
It is expected that Dong Zhuo, who was born in Liangzhou, is just Erer.
As long as he leads the army to come, everyone will be able to wipe out Dong Zhuo in one go.
Who knows, the ideal is full, and the reality is the backbone.
In the end, the Dong coalition army was defeated and fell apart, and all parties led the army and occupied one side after the meeting, expanding their own forces, grabbing territory and population, and they were busy with their own affairs.
For a while, everyone selectively forgot about Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Yuan Shao had a headache, not because he was sick, but because he found out if he was "guilty of Tai Sui"!
Nothing has been going well lately.
After the failure of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao thought that the emperor was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and it was not a problem to re-establish an emperor with the reputation of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family.
But it's not a problem, it's a big problem.
There are now three members of the Han clan who are very prestigious.
One is Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.
One is Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou.
One person is Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou.
These three men were the best candidates to become emperors.
Yizhou Mu Liu Yan was directly excluded by Yuan Shao, although this Liu Yan was a relative of the Han family and had served as a Zongzheng.
But this Liu Yan is not a good thing.
Because for today's mutual conquest, in addition to the Yellow Turban thieves and other reasons, the biggest reason is this Liu Yan.
Liu Yan proposed to the imperial court to use the clan and important ministers as state pastors, to override the assassin history and the Taishou in the local area, and monopolize the power to stabilize the people.
It sounds like a good thing, but including Liu Yan himself, after becoming the state minister, he ignored the edicts of the imperial court and was no longer under the control of the imperial court.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao can have the right as he is now, and the reason why Yuan Shao thinks that he is not a good thing is because he thinks that Liu Yan is too ambitious.
He is ambitious, has extraordinary knowledge, and he is divided into one side, Yizhou and Jizhou are thousands of miles apart, even if he is appointed emperor, it will not be good for him, and it will definitely be difficult to control.
You might even stab yourself, but you can't do such a thing.
As for Liu Biao.
The second thing Yuan Shao excluded was him, Liu Biao became famous at a young age, one of the "Eight Juns", rode into Jingzhou alone, and settled Jingzhou in just one year.
It would have been a good person.
However, the reason why such a high-quality choice was excluded by Yuan Shao was because Liu Biao was recommended by Dong Zhuo.
Wang Rong of Jingzhou Assassin Shi was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao to succeed him as Jingzhou Assassin History.
And when Yuan Shao organized everyone to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao, as a member of the Han family, did not send troops!
This is a very intriguing thing, and it can be seen from Liu Biao's attitude that in fact, his bad feelings towards Dong Zhuo are not so strong.
Otherwise, even if you want to do whatever you want, it's good to be pretentious.
Liu Biao didn't even look like it.
Is it because Dong Zhuo recommended Liu Biao to succeed Jingzhou Assassin History?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
All in all, this Dong Zhuo is simply a-stirring stick!
Otherwise, it would not be bad to elect Liu Biao as emperor.
In addition to Liu Biao and Liu Yan, the current Zongzheng, Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu is undoubtedly the best candidate among the best candidates!
Liu Yu pursued leniency in Youzhou and persuaded the people to farm.
The income from the opening of the market in Shanggu and the trading of foreign people and the mining of salt and iron ore in Yuyang led to the exile of more than one million people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, where they lived and worked in peace and contentment.
More importantly, Liu Yu's policy of leniency to foreign ethnic groups was contrary to Gongsun Zhan's tough policy towards foreign ethnic groups.
In this way, there was a contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan because of their different political views, which was something that Yuan Shao liked to see very much.
Liu Yu thought that Gongsun Zhan was reckless and plundered the people.
Gongsun Zan believes that the reason why the border Hu people go back and forth is because Liu Yu is not doing things well.
The two blamed each other and got into a fight.
will be discordant, if Liu Yu is set up as the emperor, then Gongsun Zhan's side will definitely be very uncomfortable.
In addition, Youzhou is close to Jizhou, this is an opportunity!
Yuan Shao quickly decided that Liu Yu was the best of the new emperor's best personnel.
So Yuan Shao and the generals of Shandong prepared to elect Liu Yu as emperor.
However, what I didn't expect was that the first one to jump out against it was his half-brother, Yuan Shu.
Thinking of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth, this Yuan Shu is simply an idiot!
Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are members of the Yuan family, but Yuan Shu is a descendant, and Yuan Shao's mother is a maidservant.
Yuan Shu's mind Yuan Shao naturally knew that Yuan Shu looked down on me Yuan Shao.
But in something that is good for the Yuan family, as a member of the same family, you are actually against me?!
And say that I am unfaithful and unjust?!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was angry.
Wouldn't it be good to have an emperor who is good for everyone?
Do you still want to be the emperor yourself?!
Hehe!
