In front of his subordinates, Yuan Shu was furious.

He grabbed Yuan Shao's background, insulted Yuan Shao fiercely, and scolded Yuan Shao as his "slave", saying that he was the illegitimate son of a lowly maid, and he was a bastard who couldn't get on the stage.

Looking at Yuan Shu's incompetent and furious appearance, his newly recruited subordinates Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others felt helpless.

Yan Xiang spoke bluntly.

"How Yuan Shao came from, the people of the world have their own opinions, now Yuan Shao's momentum is flourishing, his words are quite reasonable, if you make trouble with this, you will not worry about the civil strife in Luoyang, Liu Bei will not panic, I hope the general will focus on the overall situation, abandon personal grievances, and focus on the general trend of the world."

Yuan Shu was still angry, unable to calm his anger.

He looked at Yan Xiang with annoyance.

"What does Yan Gong mean is that the general trend of the world belongs to Yuan Shao's concubine, not a concubine like me?"

"As far as the Yuan family is concerned, you are the son-in-law, and in terms of the world, it is not so important."

Yan Xiang said bluntly: "Please also calm the anger in your heart and focus all your energy on attacking Liu Bei, at present, you and Yuan Shao should work together." ”

As soon as Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Hand in hand? Do you want me to work hand in hand with a concubine? ”

Yuan Shu pointed at Luo Yang and said angrily: "What we are opposing now is a concubine puppet emperor, but I want to join forces with a concubine, what will the people of the world think of me?" What will you think of Yuan? After the matter is completed, should the affairs of the world be dominated by me, or by Yuan Shao's concubine? Tell me about it! ”

Yan Xiang suddenly felt very helpless.

These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, Liu Bei is still acting as a prestige in Luoyang, and he hasn't seen any signs of being killed, is your old man thinking too far-reaching?

The most important thing is to concentrate all your efforts to kill Liu Bei first!

Liu Bei is so strong, how can you two brothers engage in infighting at this time?

Yan Xiang still wanted to admonish, but Yang Hong was worried that Yan Xiang would completely anger Yuan Shu and there would be no good results, so he spoke first.

"The general is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire it, but for now, the people of the world are more concerned about merit, as long as the merit is there, even if it is a concubine, it will be anti-guest-oriented, if the merit is not achieved, even if it is a son-in-law, it cannot be convincing.

Therefore, the subordinates believe that the most important thing at the moment is to attack Liu Bei and establish meritorious deeds, Yuan Shao is just talking loudly, but you should show great strength to prove that you are the master, so that people from all over the world will naturally gather around you. ”

Yang Hong's words were much more euphemistic than Yan Xiang's, and when Yuan Shu heard it, the anger in his heart calmed down a little, and he also thought about it.

"What Yang Gong said is reasonable, Yuan Shao's concubine has never said nice things, and has no other skills, as long as I lead the army to teach Liu Bei a hard lesson, I will naturally be recognized by the people of the world, Yuan Shao's concubine is only worthy of leading a horse for me!"

Yuan Shu made up his mind to make Yuan Shao a small servant who led the horses for him, so he ordered everyone to focus all their energy on military affairs, quickly form an army, train the army, expand the size of the army, and gather enough 350,000 horses as soon as possible, so that he could launch an attack on Luoyang.

In addition, Yuan Shu also sent people to contact Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao and Yingchuan to guard Li Min, hoping that they could become their bridgehead and vanguard army, take the lead in launching an attack on Luoyang, and test Liu Bei's true strength, if they can, if they can break Liu Bei's powerful appearance, it would be the best.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao Naturally, needless to say, he had a close relationship with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and he didn't pay attention to Yuan Shu's solicitation at all, and directly arrested Yuan Shu's envoy and sent it to Luoyang with the news, at the disposal of Liu Bei.

Yingchuan Taishou Li Min had more ideas, and in the face of the rivalry between the Yuan family and the Liu family, he also took into account the factors of the eunuchs, thought about it, and decided to be neutral.

Whoever wins will help whom, so he prevaricated Yuan Shu and didn't plan to send troops, but he didn't tell Liu Bei the news, let alone recruit troops to fortify in Yingchuan County, anyway, whoever comes to me is like this, absolutely loyal.

He thought that if Liu Bei won, he would naturally return to the imperial court and provide logistics and grain for the imperial court, and he would also be a loyal and righteous man.

If the Yuan clan wins, he will kill all the eunuchs and their families in Yingchuan County, plunder their wealth, and join the Yuan group, which will not be a loss.

Anyway, he holds the position of Taishou, and he has a certain amount of capital for whatever he wants to do, although he does not do whatever he wants, he also has considerable capital.

So Yuan Shu's idea fell through, and Zhang Miao used this to show his loyalty and give Liu Bei a wake-up call.

However, through the various actions of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, through the transmission of the news of the Dongyuan secret agent team scattered in Hebei and the Central Plains, coupled with Han Fu's defection, Liu Bei basically knew about it.

Similar to Liu Bei's guess, Yuan Shao's ability is slightly stronger than Yuan Shu, and his voice is relatively loud.

In particular, he made a big fuss about the anti-eunuchs, and linked the anti-eunuchs with the revenge of his Yuan clan as his own program of action, although Liu Bei expected it, but also thought that this was the most favorable course of action for the Yuan clan to turn over.

He originally guessed that Yuan Shao probably couldn't use this set of rhetoric as a program of action, so he could only work intensively in his track, and finally dig his own grave, but it looked good, at least Yuan Shao had jumped out of the track he had prepared and taken a new path.

This track is indeed the most dangerous and the most difficult track for Liu Bei to follow.

Among the four auxiliary ministers, two are eunuchs, or two of them are notorious, and they have deep contradictions with scholars.

It's good that no one mentioned it before, but now once someone mentions it, it is supplemented by military threats, and even makes public opinion known to everyone, then this matter will be a big deal.

In late June of the sixth year of Zhongping, the news that Yuan Shao launched a purge of eunuch forces in Jizhou came to Luoyang, including the public opinion attack against Liu Bei that he set off was also transmitted to Luoyang, and the public opinion in Luoyang was turbulent and people's hearts were fluctuating.

At this moment, in the Central Plains of the Kanto region, Yuan Shao's call is indeed a surging trend.

In the Central Plains, the land of the four prefectures of Qingxu and Yanyu, before the Luoyang court could react, three counties had already launched a purge against the eunuch clan and industry.

And in Luoyang, not to mention.

During this period of time, the three people except Liu Bei have engaged in the sale of officials, and the city of Luoyang has been in a miasma, and the situation of eunuchs and eunuchs has not improved.

At present, some people have launched a large-scale purge of the eunuchs' forces in Jizhou, the place where the eunuchs' interests are great, uprooting the eunuchs' property, clansmen, and political forces, and making it vigorous, and I don't know how many people secretly applaud.

Of course, there are many people who applaud loudly on the bright side, such as Huang Wan, who doesn't give face at all, and applauds loudly in front of Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo in front of the court, saying that although Yuan Shao is a rebel, he is really beautiful at this time!

Hahahahaha

Huang Wan smiled very happily.

Zhang Rang's face was pale, Jian Shuo didn't have a good face, Dong Chong looked left and right, only Liu Bei looked calm.

After Huang Wan laughed, he also asked Liu Bei quite happily.

"General, you also know about the matter in Jizhou, I don't know what you think about it? The matter of Jizhou can only be said to be a deep grievance among the people, and it was used by traitors, and now Jizhou is boiling, Hebei is shaking, and seeing that the Central Plains is about to shake, I don't know how the general will respond? ”

Liu Bei looked at Huang Wan and was silent for a while, without any signs of anger.

He just stood up, walked a few steps slowly, walked to Huang Wan's side, stared at Huang Wan for a while, and saw that Huang Wan felt a little hairy in his heart.

Then Liu Bei just smiled.

"It's nothing special, it's just that I think Yuan Shao has further confirmed the reputation of a rebellious thief, and it's okay for them to kill those ordinary eunuch clansmen, but the problem is that some of the eunuch clansmen killed by them are official officials of the imperial court.

No matter where the officials come from, who recommended them, and who appointed them, they are also the official officials of the imperial court, the official officials on the record, the life and death of the officials should be decided by the imperial court, it is the decision of the Son of Heaven, when will it be the turn of Yuan Shao, the traitor, to decide?

Now, without the permission of the imperial court, Yuan Shao has openly killed and expelled the official officials of the imperial court who have been recorded, deprived them of their property, and killed their families and clansmen, which is an open provocation to the imperial court against the Son of Heaven, not to mention that he even directly denied the throne of today's emperor!

I know that some people are very optimistic about this matter these days, and I also know that your resentment against the eunuchs has a deep history, but I ask you, is it acceptable to kill the officials of the court without any reason?

Is it okay to kill them just because they were recommended by eunuchs without any valid reason? If this is a reason, then I will immediately send troops to the court today to take off your heads!

Then I will announce the world, the reason is that you are not recommended by the eunuchs, so you will be killed, so will the people of the world also applaud? Am I going to be seen as a hero too? ”
