Chapter 172: The Lord of Jizhou

Yuan Shao rushed to Yecheng early the next morning with his subordinates, as well as Liu Dai and others.

In Qingyuan, there are still two main generals, Yan Liang and Lu Bu.

Ju Yi, who betrayed from Han Fu, is still on his way.

Yecheng is not only an important city in Wei County, but also the center of power in the entire Jizhou.

If it is a prince who only wants to occupy Jizhou, then the position of Yecheng is a little biased, and it is not conducive to dominating the whole territory.

But for an ambitious prince, taking Yecheng as the state is really the best choice.

There is a vast space to retreat to the north, Qingzhou can be killed in the east, and you can go straight to Luoyang in the west.

This location can affect the entire Kanto.

Yuan Shao made a big show and walked into Yecheng very smoothly.

Han Fu, who looked a little depressed, smiled and personally led Jizhou out of the city to greet him.

Yuan Shao grabbed Han Fu's hand and said earnestly: "Why does Wenjie look a little unpleasant?" ”

Han Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why should I pretend to be confused in the first place, Jizhou is now facing the danger of life and death, how can my face be so good?" Now that you're finally here, I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Yuan Shao smiled and deliberately teased, "I thought it was Wenjie who repented." ”

"In fact, it is appropriate to regret it, such a big world, giving it to people, it will definitely be a little uncomfortable."

Han Fu shook his head twice and said very firmly: "Originally, you really misunderstood me. ”

"I rule Jizhou, and now it's like pinching a hot potato. I can't get on the stage for my civil and martial arts, and in the face of Gongsun Zan and the court's north-south pressure, I'm already panicking, how can I have other thoughts? ”

"Wenjie, you are too humble." Yuan Shao smiled and snorted, "Please, let's go into the city and talk again." ”

"Please, please, please!"

The two walked hand in hand into the government office in Yecheng.

As the seat of Jizhou's state administration, and also the hometown of Zhao Zhong, Yecheng can be regarded as one of the most prosperous cities on the north bank of the Yellow River.

In the government office, singing and dancing are swaying, a joyful and elegant image.

Yuan Shao looked at this scene, with a smile on his face, very satisfied.

"Please take a seat!"

Han Fuli invited Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao refused.

He excused himself and said: "Wenjie, you should be the first, and I can be next to you." ”

"It's not appropriate." Han Fu didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking about, so he persuaded again.

Yuan Shao insisted, "This is very suitable, now you are still the lord of Jizhou, and I am a guest from afar, so it should be so." ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's insistence, Han Fu did not continue to persuade him, and sat down on the first seat with a little anxiety in his heart.

Today's position is really a bit hot for Hanbok.

He sat down, but what to do now, what to say, he was completely confused.

"Originally, let's start the table first?" Han Fu had a hard time making a decision, so he simply asked Yuan Shao directly.

"Okay, it's up to you." Yuan Shao responded with a smile.

Only then did Han Fu order someone to open the table and serve the food.

In the seat, a cadre of civil and military officers in Jizhou watched Han Fu even ask Yuan Shao for such a trivial matter, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

They also realized that no matter how much they tried to persuade such a person, it was useless.

His cowardly nature makes it impossible for him to do great things at all.

In the first half of the banquet, everyone was almost busy with each other, and there was zero communication throughout the whole process.

Han Fu wanted to say something to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere, but he didn't know what to say.

If you say too much, you are afraid that you will make a mistake and annoy Yuan Shao, so you simply don't say it.

Yuan Shao didn't mean to take the initiative to speak during the whole process.

The civil and military generals on both sides are not very familiar with each other, and now this situation is even more unpleasant to the other.

It wasn't until halfway through the banquet that everyone was eating and drinking, Yuan Shao suddenly held the wine bottle and said to a general opposite: "Come to think of it, this general is General Zhang Junyi (yi) Zhang, the fierce general of Hejian, right?" ”

The general, who looked fierce and had a very individual beard, put the wine bottle upside down on the table with his backhand, and hummed lightly with the corners of his mouth: "If General Yuan's eyes are not very good, you can ask directly, a certain Gaolan!" ”

was ridiculed by Gao Lan, Yuan Shao not only did not get angry, but immediately apologized, "It turned out to be General Gao, please forgive me for being clumsy, General Gao Lan's prestige, I have often heard of it in Bohai." ”

People took the initiative to soften, but it made Gao Lan, who took the initiative to provoke trouble, seem a little narrow.

Seeing this, Han Fu hurriedly made a round, "This matter is my fault, and I forgot to introduce my good generals in Jizhou to General Yuan." ”

"Everyone, don't come with me to meet Yuan Jizhou!"

Looking at Han Fu who walked down in person, the officials in Jizhou all had complicated expressions.

But at this point, they can see clearly, Han Fu really can't count on it, they still need to rely on themselves.

Han Fu greeted Yuan Shao to the main seat, and personally saluted and shouted: "Han Wenjie meets Yuan Jizhou!" ”

Although everyone was not very reluctant in their hearts, they could only do so for the time being, and they all saluted Yuan Shao.

After a simple ceremony, Yuan Shao officially entered Jizhou.

Han Fu was like a hard-working worker bee, and introduced the officials of Jizhou to Yuan Shao one by one.

"How can I, Yuan Benchu, be able to get your help? It is useless to say more, but I will have a drink with you. Yuan Shao raised the wine bottle and shouted, "From today onwards, if great things can be accomplished, I will split the territory with you!" ”

Everyone toasted.

Yuan Shao's account was full of indignation.

But on the other hand, Jizhou's side is relatively much colder.

For Yuan Shao, not only did they have no trust, but they were also a little wary.

"Wenjie is a general of Fenwu for the time being, I don't know if it's good?" After Yuan Shao finished the ceremony, he asked Han Fu.

Han Fu had already decided to give up the position of Jizhou Mu, and the rest would not have so many pursuits, so he said: "Just by the orders of the State Pastor, even if I am a small pawn in the army, I can deserve it." ”

Yuan Shao turned his head, pretending to be angry and said, "That's not right, if you let Wenjie be a pawn in the army, the people of the world will poke my Yuan Shao's backbone, and this thing can't be done." ”

"The rest of you, for the time being, go your own way and don't make any changes. Han Wenjie trusts you, and I, Yuan Benchu, will naturally trust you too. ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone responded with a bang.

After the banquet dispersed, Han Fu moved out of the government office and gave it to Yuan Shao.

He ordered someone to clean up the old mansion of Zhao Zhong, a regular servant, and moved in.

This mansion is one of the few preserved by the Ten Permanent Attendants.

Because Jizhou was really far away, and the Yellow Turban Army was scurrying around here at that time, Liu Wei let it go.

If it had been a little closer to Luoyang, Liu Wei would have ordered someone to take away even the bricks.

In the official office.

Yuan Shao rubbed his sour face and teased everyone in the audience, "It's also a tiring thing to force people to laugh. ”

"Although Zhou Mu's face is a little tired, Jizhou is now firmly in the palm of his hand, and he still makes a steady profit." Gao Gan joked with a smile about his maternal uncle, and then said, "It's just that I think these people in Jizhou seem to be full of arrogance, and it's probably not easy to win people's hearts." ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Xun Chen also chimed in.

But Yuan Shao didn't think there was anything difficult about this matter, he paced in the room, and said very confidently: "This state pastor, he is the emperor to shepherd the Quartet, herdsmen, right!" ”

"Since we use this pasture, the Huns herding sheep are the same for us."

"As long as you find the leader and subdue him, the rest of the sheep will naturally follow."

Xun Chen said with a smile: "The metaphor of the state pastor, although it may not be good to hear the ears of those Jizhou people, but it is really very practical." It's just that who can be regarded as a leader in Jizhou? ”

Everyone in the audience thought about it.

After a while, Gao Gan suddenly said: "It seems that Tian Feng, a giant deer man, has a good reputation in Jizhou. It's just that because he is too rigid and upright, he is not reused by Han Fu, is such a person a leader? ”

"Not counting, but it's better than nothing!" Yuan Shao shook his head and said.

He needs to use people who are upright, but in fact, he doesn't like people who are too rigid and upright.

"State pastor, this person can be used as a different driver to help the state pastor deal with the things behind the scenes." Feng Ji admonished.

Yuan Shao thought about it, answered, and then asked, "Who else?" ”

Feng Ji smiled slightly, brushed his beard and said: "I know a person, he was originally the adjutant of Taiwei Chen Qiu, and then the court was turbulent, so he returned to Jizhou, and then served for Han Fu. This person is capable, knows how to advance and retreat, and has a furrow in his chest, but the only bad thing is that his temperament is similar to Tian Feng, and he is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard. ”

Hearing that it was such a person again, Yuan Shao's mood suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Can't you think of a few gentle-tempered ones? There are so many of them, I'm afraid I'm going to be reduced to arguing with them every day! Yuan Shao said angrily.

Feng Ji chuckled and persuaded: "Zhou Mu, the really talented people in the world are temperamental. ”

"So can he be considered a leader?" Yuan Shao asked rhetorically.

Feng Ji thought about it, but still shook his head, "He can only barely count half." ”

"Half? It's okay, then let's use this person as a rule for the time being! Yuan Shao said, "Since I can't think of the whole thing, it's three or four to make a leader, it's the same reason, is there any?" ”

Gao Gan, who searched his stomach and thought about it for a while, suddenly said: "Han Fu's don't drive to engage in frustration, it seems to be quite respectable, otherwise you should make him one, right?" I've heard people say that Han Fu will ask Frustration whenever he has something undecided. ”

Tian Feng and Yuan Shao are not very clear, but Yuan Shao also happens to be clear about this person.

"He must be counted as one, he can be called the first strategist under Han Fu's account. The so-called three people become tigers, and having these three people is enough to make the Jizhou scholars make a choice, just take the three of them as the leader. Yuan Shao said happily.

Xun Chen also said: "Tian Feng and Yu Shi have an excellent reputation, and Fu Zhu is Han Fu's old subordinate, and he has a lot of prestige among the officials in Jizhou. If these three people can look at the wind and vote, the great affairs of the lord will be considered to be completed. ”

"Shouldn't I go and see him?" Yuan Shao asked to himself.

Feng Ji smiled: "If the lord wants to show his posture as a corporal of courtesy, you can go!" ”

Yuan Shao glanced at Feng Ji, "You are obviously a good thing, why does it sound like you are scolding me?" ”

"Perhaps...... It's the lord that you heard wrong. Feng Ji smiled, "Some words sound like this." ”

Yuan Shao didn't believe it.

"Prepare some gifts, and you will come with me to meet Fu Zhi. Raise his identity, and let the Jizhou scholars take a look at my Yuan Shao's posture. Yuan Shao said.

"Whoa!"

Yuan Shao prepared a cart of wine, a cart of grain, and a cart of fine brocade, and personally visited Fu Zhi.

After returning from the government office, he bathed for a while, and sat cross-legged in the atrium, thinking about the way forward in front of a very thick water tank.

He likes to think about everything in detail, disassemble it into countless parts, look at each person, look at their behavior.

Jizhou changed hands, which was a big test for him.

"The head of the family, Yuan Shao, no, it should be regarded as the new Jizhou shepherd who is outside the door." The coolly dressed maid walked over from the side, bowed down and said to the frustrated.

Fu Zhu turned his head in some surprise, his gaze wandered over the maid for a moment, and said, "Yuan Shao actually came to visit me in person, this is really an unexpected thing. Let's go and meet, you can't leave out Jizhou Mu. ”

He got up slowly, took two steps, but suddenly stopped, and said to the maid who followed him, "Go, dress a little." If there are outsiders, you don't have to wear them like this, lest I can't keep you. ”

"Whoa!" The maid's face was slightly red, and she answered in a low voice.

Fu Zhu personally opened the middle door to greet Yuan Shao.

"Humble and frustrated, meet the state pastor."

Yuan Shao grabbed Frustrated's arm affectionately and said, "Sir is willing to see me, I am very happy!" ”

Frustrated: ???

He looked at the arm that was being held by Yuan Shao with a dull gaze, and then looked at Yuan Shao's smiling face.

It's like a dream on a horse.

I always feel that something is not right.

"Pastor of the state, please." Fu Zhi took two steps forward, quietly broke away from Yuan Shao's hand and said.

Yuan Shao looked at the frustrated mansion as he walked, and sighed: "Mr. is really too poor, even if you don't like to be bothered, you should find a few sprinklers, and the subordinates who answer the door are." How can this be done by the gentleman himself? Even the errand gentleman who answered the door did it himself, which is not like a word. ”

"In this way, I will send a few capable subordinates over another day to help Mr. take care of the trivial things in the house."

Fu Zhu hurriedly refused, "State pastor, it's not necessary, I'm used to living like this, it's good." ”

"You don't have to be humble, it's just a little thing." Yuan Shao couldn't argue, so he made the decision for Fu Zhi.

"State pastor, there are subordinates in my house." Frustrated said.

Let Yuan Shao send a few more people over, this is not to disturb his happy life.

Yuan Shao looked left and right, "Where?" Why can't I see any of them? You're welcome, sir. ”

"The state pastor, there is really one in the lowly government." Frustrated and reluctantly emphasized.

He didn't expect that such a small matter would feel a little unexplainable.

At this moment, a group of fat and thin maids walked out of the courtyard one after another and stood on both sides.

"Sir, you are really a bit too much, how can you let the concubine in the house come out to welcome me, this is not appropriate." Yuan Shao quickly glanced at the maids and said to Fu Zhu.

Frustrated and stunned, "Concubine? No, no, no, you misunderstood, these are all maids in my house. ”

"Handmaiden? You say they are...... Maid?! Yuan Shao suddenly doubted life.

Where did this guy find so many beautiful women to be maids?

No, no, such a beauty is just a maid?!

Fu gave Yuan Shao a very positive answer, "Don't hide it from the state pastor, these are indeed the maids of the lowly mansion." ”

Yuan Shao stared at Frustrated with wide eyes, and he suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with this person.

He collected so many beauties in the house, and he just let them be maids.

"Sir, I shouldn't have the ambition to emulate Zhao Zhong, the middle servant, back then, right?" Yuan Shao asked.

He's really skeptical right now.

At that time when the Ten Standing Servants were powerful, Zhao Zhong should be regarded as a well-deserved leader in Jizhou.

The frustrated face darkened a little, "The state pastor has misunderstood, and the lowly body is very good." ”

Yuan Shao snorted, but his eyes attacked the next three roads one after another.

He felt that his suspicions should be correct.

There are so many beauties in the house, but they are supposed to soothe their chests with their slender hands, and they do the dirty work of sprinkling and sweeping.

This person's problem is obviously not light.

The frustrated face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot that had been burned for decades.

Do you want to be a little more blatant?

I just like to play with maids, what's wrong? Any questions?!

"I wonder what the state pastor is here for?" Frustrated, with a rather ugly face, he glanced at Yuan Shao's ministers who were smiling and struggling hard, and asked Yuan Shao with a heavy bite.

Yuan Shao lifted up his clothes, knelt down in the hall, and said with a long sigh: "Shao is here to ask Mr. for the wisdom of governing the world!" There is Gongsun Zan in the north of Jizhou, there is the imperial court in the south, there are yellow turbans raging in the east, and there are Xianbei, Yu Poison and Xiongnu in the west. ”

Frustrated scratched his sideburns, muttering a little in his heart.

He always thought that Yuan Shao should not come to him because of these things.

This kid looks like he's trying to take advantage of him.

When the old and the new are alternated, and people's hearts are not stable, there should always be a few people who take the lead and set an example for others.

Frustrated, his thoughts turned slightly, and he probably knew the purpose of Yuan Shao's visit.

He ordered the maid to serve wine, fruits and vegetables for Yuan Shao and others, and then said leisurely: "The state pastor personally came to the door to ask questions, and I naturally couldn't help but answer, but what I think is not necessarily right, and I also ask the state pastor to know." ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand, frowned and said, "Why should Mr. be so angry, if I think what Mr. said is wrong, I won't come to visit Mr. in person." Some people don't necessarily go even if they pave the way with flowers and lead horses to fall. ”

"Then I'll be ugly." "Actually, in my opinion, the state pastor's worries are completely unnecessary!" ”

"Although Jizhou is facing enemies on all sides, it is not a dead end. The general's family background is prominent, and the protΓ©gΓ© covers the world, which will rely on the advantages of the ancestors. Even if the general doesn't work hard, the heroes of the world will come to vote when they see the banner of the Yuan family from afar. ”

"Look at you again, general, when you enter the court at a young age, you will become famous at home. If you cross the river to the north, you will obey the Bohai Sea; Hold the pawn of a county, and gather the people of Jizhou. The prestige crosses the river, and the fame is more important than the world! ”

"Now if the general is the first to raise the army to fight in the east, he can set the Qingzhou Yellow Turban; Also begging for Montenegro, Zhang Yan can be eliminated. then returned to the north to march north, Pinggong Sun Zhan; Shock Rong Di and surrender the Huns. You can have the land of the four states north of the Yellow River, so you can recruit heroes, gather millions of troops, welcome the emperor in Xijing, and restore the temple in Luoyang. With this command, who can resist the world's punishment and unobeyed? ”

Yuan Shao's face was helpful when he heard this, and he kept a smile on his face.

Regardless of whether he has real talent or not, his speech is very comfortable to listen to.
