Xu Shu nodded slightly, and arched his hand: "If you are willing to lose the bet, can you arrange for your mother to settle down first, and then your subordinates will come to talk to your adult in detail." ”

Xu Shu didn't call the lord, obviously he still had a grudge, but since he agreed to go to Youzhou, Yuan Xi was as good as he was.

Sending Xu Shu's mother and son away to settle down, looking back at Wei Yan, who was like a little daughter-in-law, Yuan Xi couldn't help but purse his lips and said, "Wen Chang is really my lucky general!" ”

"Ahh Don't you blame me? ”

Wei Yan immediately came to life, Yuan Xi glared at him and said: "Merit is merit and demerit, you have made great merit to recruit talents for me, and it should be rewarded, but this matter is not authentic, it should be punished, don't think about making up for it." ”

Wei Yan's head shrank, and Yuan Xi smiled: "From now on, my personal guard will be handed over to you, that is, the five hundred people you have seen, and we will arrange it after returning to Youzhou." ”

"No!"

Wei Yan was immediately overjoyed and replied loudly, but Yuan Xi's next sentence came, and he snorted lightly: "When I return to Youzhou, I will go and get the ten army sticks myself as punishment." ”

"Ahh It's ......"

That night, after dinner, Xu Shu came and was led to Yuan Xi's study by his subordinates.

Seeing that Wei Yan was also there, he didn't care, and asked directly: "Dare to ask Yuan Youzhou, what is the general trend in this world?" What are Yuan's plans? Is it to restore the Han family or to rebuild the world? ”

After asking three questions in a row, he looked at him with blazing eyes.

Yuan Xi sighed lightly and said: "Yuan Zhi looks at Yuan Xi, the four states of Hebei have become divided, Xi doesn't believe that Yuan Zhi can't see it, now Xi just wants to protect himself, Yuan Zhi is disappointed, right?" ”

Rhetorically, he knew that Xu Shu had great ambitions, but he just made people and didn't get reused in his life, and in the end it was said that he went to Langya in seclusion.

"Oh! It seems that the adults are very sober. ”

After Xu Shu teased, Zhengse asked, "In that case, what are your plans?" ”

Yuan Xi had already prepared, grabbed a map and unfolded: "Xi wants Liaodong, first try to protect himself, build a high city, accumulate grain, and then wait for the time." ”

Xu Shu looked at him quietly and asked softly, "Are you the king?" ”

Yuan Xi's heart tightened, and he understood that at the most critical moment, whether Xu Shu could assist him with all his heart depended on whether this answer could satisfy him.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Xi solemnly saluted in the direction of Luoyang, looked back at Xu Shu and said seriously: "As a Han minister, the Yuan family is subject to Han En, the Han Emperor is in one day, and Xi will not be the king for a day, but he will not let others pretend to pass on the holy decree and be swayed, unless the Son of Heaven can be independent and master the affairs of the imperial court, then Xi will unconditionally obey the dispatch." ”

Xu Shu stared at him, his eyes were not instantaneous, he also looked at each other, and there was no evasion at all.

The air was filled with the smell of suffocation, which was breathless.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Shu suddenly bowed and said, "Yingchuan Xu Shu to meet the lord!" The minister remembers the words of the lord today, and if he repents on another day, he should cut himself off from the lord. ”

Yuan Xi was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, and shouted repeatedly: "Don't regret it, don't regret it, if you regret it, Xi Dang's five thunders will not be able to die." ”

Of course Yuan Xi will not regret it, he has already thought about it, he will never be the first bird, when the first person to call the king and the emperor, is it not good to have the strength to secretly poke and poke.

Isn't his uncle just stupidly called the emperor, but he was attacked by a group, if he waited until someone else was called the king, wouldn't it be nice to keep up with him with a fake and shy answer?

At that time, the reputation will not be ruined, not to mention, and there will be no loss of talent.

You see that as soon as Cao Cao was called the King of Wei, Xun Yu stopped doing it, what a powerful talent, he died of depression, and he could no longer give him advice.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were actually a large number of talents loyal to the Han Dynasty, and they defected to the Ming Dynasty in order to revive the Han Dynasty, but the talents were not as good as the heroes, so they were fooled into helping to grab the land.

When they found out that they had been deceived, they had no power to return to heaven, and could only lament that they had made people.

This group of people was basically divided between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and Sun Quan had almost none, which was different from the positioning of the three.

From the very beginning, Jiangdong has taken the road of independence, and those who followed Sun Quan were people who wanted to kill the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao served Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, which naturally attracted such people.

Liu Bei advertised that he was a relative of the Han family, and he devoted his life to reviving the Han family, so some people followed him.

But to be fair, Liu Bei is indeed reviving the Han family, even if he is called the emperor, the country name is still Han, which means that the continuation of the Han Dynasty, and the Liu family is still the lord of the world.

The name Shu Han was imposed by later generations in order to distinguish it, which is the same as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

From beginning to end, Liu Bei's father and son have never been called Shu Han, you see what is written on the tombstone of Liu Bei's tomb.

"Tomb of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty"

As for questioning the view that he should not be called emperor, it is to kidnap him from the moral high ground, Cao Pi has usurped the Han Dynasty, and if he does not call himself emperor again, it means that the Han Dynasty has perished.

If you want to say that he is not a descendant of the Han Emperor, then Liu Xiu is also not a descendant of the Western Han Dynasty, and he didn't still establish the Eastern Han Dynasty for 200 years.

Therefore, Chen Shou wrote the Three Kingdoms Chronicles with great respect for him, and it can be seen from the title that Sun Quan was even called by his name, Cao Cao was called Emperor Wu of Wei, but Liu Bei, Chen Shou was called the first master.

……

"If the lord is fine, return to Youzhou as soon as possible."

Yuan Xi talked with Xu Shu and Wei Yan for a long time, and did not hide his current situation at all, Xu Shu closed his eyes and pondered for a while before opening his eyes and suggesting.

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "I think so too, after returning to Youzhou, Yuan Zhi will be in charge of the government, discuss with Han Beijia, and divide the soldiers in Zhang Nanjiao's tentacles into 10,000, led by Wei Yan, what do you think?" ”

Han Heng was appointed by Yuan Shao, and he supported Yuan Xi, so it was naturally impossible to take him down and let Xu Shu take over.

As soon as Wei Yan heard that he could be in charge of 10,000 soldiers, his eyes lit up, and Xu Shu glanced at him and said with disgust: "Wen Chang has never led a soldier, and the lord is pulling out seedlings to help him." ”

Immediately, Wei Yan stretched his face, glared angrily, and was about to refute.

Xu Shu hurriedly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Wen Chang and stop!" It's not aimed at you, the lord values you, shouldn't you think about the lord? When you first entered Youzhou, you didn't have the slightest merit, how can you make the lord serve the public when you suddenly occupy a high position? ”

Wei Yan's momentum froze, he took a step back and hugged his fists and said: "The last general almost missed a big event, thanks to Yuan Zhi's reminder, please take back your fate!" ”

Yuan Xi wanted to speak and stopped, he really planned to let Wei Yan lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, in order to divide the power in Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch's hands.

As for Wei Yan's lack of experience, he is prepared, it's a big deal that he takes Mulan to help him, and he can't afford to wait for Wei Yan to grow up.

Xu Shu understood his anxiety, unfolded the map and said: "Lord, look, this is Jicheng, this is Zhuoxian, let Wei Yan lead 3,000 troops into Zhuoxian County and connect Zhongshan." ”

"Connecting Zhongshan?"

Yuan Xi hesitated, his eyes lit up and said, "Yuan Zhi means that Zhongshan Wuji Zhen family!" ”
