Chapter Seventy-Six: Lying Flat
Anfeng County, Anfeng County.
Before Yuan Shu arrived, the general's mansion in the county was lived by Qiao Rui of the garrison.
Later, the Kuxian War began, Qiao Rui went to the front line, Shouchun was stolen, and Yuan Shu was protected by more than 2,000 royal forest troops in the city and fled to Anfeng.
The first thing I did when I came to Anfeng was to renovate the General's Mansion where Qiao Rui lived.
Even if it's a temporary foothold, it's the Son of Heaven, so it's not luxurious?
Pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and rockeries should be arranged.
For this reason, the general's mansion was expanded by two times, and the surrounding houses should be demolished.
As for whether you are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me, it is not that you can still live without tiles to cover your head, and those who can endure hardships should take the sky as the earth.
The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones and starve their bodies and skin.
What's wrong with suffering a little, I still point to this sentence to support it.
Then there is the arrangement of the beauties from all over the country, and after a period of training, the girls wear light veils as thin as cicada wings and sing and dance in the hall.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have been born in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.
In addition to the representative of this era, the thin horse of later generations is a derogatory term, but it is named Yangzhou, which can be seen.
Under the sound of drums and melodies, the graceful dancing, graceful figure and the appearance of pity can make people forget a lot of troubles.
If you cooperate with honey water, then it feels, what Cao Cao Lu Bu, you guys fight outside, I won't move.
Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan, a group of people who are loyal to Yuan Shu, persuaded each other hard, and they could still listen to a few words at first, even if they were perfunctory, they would make a show, and they would simply be too lazy to deal with it later.
Later, after Kuxian was defeated, and the general Zhang Xun retreated to Anfeng with more than 50,000 remnants, Yuan Shu did not reflect on how to use these soldiers and horses to make a comeback, but felt that it was more stable.
If you want to have soldiers and generals, if you don't point to you to dominate the Central Plains, it shouldn't be difficult for you to hold this one-third of an acre.
Anfeng County is the frontier of Yangzhou, and before the defeat, it was once a place where Yuan Shu used it as a strategic warehouse, so there were still 500,000 stone of grain, and the money was enough.
Therefore, Yuan Shu is planning to enjoy life and forget it.
Until Lu Bu sent troops to attack Lujiang, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to counterattack, but Yuan Shu turned a blind eye, and finally Yuan Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Yuan Shu in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and scolded:
"The day of such defeat is not far off!"
"Left and right, fork out!" Yuan Shu also lost patience with Yuan Huan, and drove people out very rudely.
"Your Majesty, Ji Ling is still in Xuyi, for so long, he never thought about surrendering in Kaesong, just to wait for His Majesty to cheer up and send troops to rescue!" Yan Xiang also stood up and hissed excitedly.
Finally, Yuan Shuchang sighed and said helplessly: "Xuyi is dead, and I can't do anything about it... Aiqing, don't push me anymore, okay? Let's all go back. ”
Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe and a nine-bead crown, but the vicissitudes and tiredness, frustration and loss on his face made him not have a trace of imperial majesty, and he didn't even look like a prince.
The pleading in his eyes made people think that this was a decadent old man who had been bent over by fate.
Yuan Huan is gone, and Yan Xiang is also gone.
Here, there is no longer a reason for them to stay.
They are not the first to leave, and they will not be the last to leave, in this regard, Yuan Shu did not feel distressed, did not regret, and felt relieved for no reason.
He even wanted to laugh in his heart.
It's not that I'm indulging in pleasure, it's really that human power can't compete with the way of heaven after all.
He recalled that in the past, in his heyday, his territory spanned four states and thirteen counties, with no less than 250,000 soldiers and horses, grain, grass, money, and ordnance, which were inexhaustible.
Liu Biao and Tao Qian are affiliated allies, and Lu Bu is just a lost dog who wants to defect to him, Cao Cao? Yuan Shao's younger brother is just that.
Looking at the world, he said that his strength is second, and no one dares to say that he is the first.
But now?
Reduced to the point of being attacked by Lu Bu and Cao Cao, even the weavers and sellers dared to come to pick up the tiger's whiskers, which is really unancient.
He felt like all the kings in mottled history, appearing with their invincibility and ending with an embarrassing fall.
This is the case with the overlord Xiang Yu of a generation, and the same is true of the glorious dynasty Qin and Han.
If you're like this, why aren't you allowed?
Yuan Shu, who was up and down, chose to lie down, this is his understanding of the great understanding, being an emperor is not just for enjoyment, it is essentially the same.
Then play music and dance.
Yuan Shu leaned back against the dragon chair, holding his chin in one hand and honey water in the other, admiring the breathtaking charm of the dancing girl, and sighed that he should have fun in time.
When all the Wenchen generals had retreated, and even Yuan Shu himself was tired of watching dancing and was about to rest, he found that there was still a person standing there in the hall.
"The general has something to say?" Yuan Shu looked at Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun is not comparable to Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan, he was originally the general and the highest officer of the Zhong Dynasty.
At the same time, he is also the only fierce general he can rely on now.
These literati can go, but Zhang Xun can't.
Naturally, Yuan Shu would have a little more patience with him.
"Your Majesty, how can you survive in troubled times in the long run, does Your Majesty really have no plans to be with the singer all day long?" Zhang Xun's voice was calm, as if he was chatting.
Yuan Shu felt tired of talking about such questions.
Didn't he believe that Zhang Xun hadn't heard his answer?
It's just that because your answer is not to your liking, you have to ask how many times a day, and you don't want to stop until you answer according to your thoughts?
Yuan Shu glanced at Zhang Xun, and in his eyes, he also read the decisiveness of Yan Xiang and them just now.
After shaking his head helplessly, he could only lower his voice and say in a muffled voice: "After the defeat of Ku County, the soldiers have lost their spirit, and whether they are facing Cao Cao or Lu Bu, they are no longer able to fight..."
Zhang Xun slowly lowered his head, he knew that what Yuan Shu said was the truth, and as a general of the imperial court, his failure to restore the morale of the sergeant was his dereliction of duty.
"For today's plan, only Yuan Shao of the North Alliance will take advantage of its momentum to try to rise later."
Yuan Shu walked up to Zhang Xun, looked at him, and said almost pleadingly: "Believe me, give me some time, and I will definitely be able to regroup and clean up the old mountains and rivers." ”
"Your Majesty! It's the incompetence of the ministers! At this moment, Zhang Xun felt that Yuan Shu was lying on his salary to taste his courage.
Perhaps, all these appearances were made for Cao Cao and Lu Bu to see, in order to leave a useful body.
"Get up."
After Yuan Shu helped Zhang Xun up, he patted him on the shoulder, "Go back..."
"Minister... Retire! ”
After Zhang Xun left, the entire hall was empty, like Yuan Shu's heart at this moment.
He turned around and walked slowly to the dragon chair, the strength of his body seemed to be dissipating with each step, and finally in front of the jade steps, he didn't even want to lift his feet, so he simply sat down.
In fact, he didn't lie completely, he had indeed contacted Yuan Shao.
It's just that he wants to give up the throne to Yuan Shao, and he is willing to assist his courtiers and help him sweep away the troubled times.
In the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is the son-in-law, and Yuan Shao is just the concubine born to the concubine, so Yuan Shu has looked down on him since he was a child.
Now that he wants to bow his head to the concubine, he still has been fighting for a long time.
Of course, in the end, I figured it out.
Man, there is hope only when you live.
Maybe in a few days, months, years, you will be able to regain your old ambitions.
But not now, now, he just wants a glimmer of life.
Hopefully, Yuan Shao's reply won't make me wait too long.
I also hope that his reply will not disappoint me...
