Chapter 326: Each Expresses His Opinion
"Look, you all see, Yuan Qi dared to threaten so-and-so, is it tolerable or unbearable, and what else is Taishan is a wolf's ambition, in a certain way, he Yuan Qi is the biggest careerist!" Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Pu, the first strategist under Zhang Lu, walked over and picked up Yuan Qi's letter, read it carefully and carefully, and then handed the letter to others for the generals to circulate.
"My lord. Another strategist Yang Song, who Zhang Lu relied on very much, said: "Yuan Qi was named the king of Yan by the Son of Heaven himself, looking at his various actions, he does not look like a traitorous person, but this letter is written unceremoniously, and the threat is on the paper.
Yan Pu immediately agreed with Yang Song's words: "Lord, it should be like this. The strength of our army is slightly inferior to that of the Yan army and the Jingzhou army, and at the moment it is only limited by the geographical situation, and Yuan Qi and Taishan cannot transfer all the men and horses to Dongchuan, which gives me the opportunity for us to meet the source left and right, we should preserve our strength, and let them decide the victory or defeat first. ”
In fact, Yan Pu and Yang Song have always been on the wrong track, Yan Pu is upright, and Yang Song is greedy for money and lustful, these two rarely have the same opinion, but when Hanzhong encountered an unprecedented crisis, these two stood on the same front. The opinions of these two strategists reached an agreement, and the other generals under Zhang Lu also echoed and expressed their support for the views of these two people.
Zhang Lu pondered for a while, agreed with the opinions of the two major strategists, then sat down, picked up the pen and wrote a reply letter to Yuan Qi, which probably meant that he was willing to listen to the advice of King Yan and temporarily send troops to attack Xichuan, so as not to let Taishan have a chance. Zhang Lu also made a request in the letter. If Mount Tai sent troops to attack Dongchuan, he hoped that Yuan Qi would take the righteousness first and lead troops to the rescue. In this letter, Zhang Lu's tone was extremely polite, and no one could have imagined that he was so angry at the beginning of receiving Yuan Qi's letter. The face of a politician is best explained by Zhang Lu's body.
At the end of the meeting, Zhang Lu waved his hand for the generals to exit the lobby. Yang Song's younger brother Yang Bai quietly came behind Yang Song and looked around to see no one. He asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what do you think?" Didn't Tai Tai send someone to send a lot of treasures to the eldest brother, and let the eldest brother instigate the lord to send troops to Xichuan? Why did the eldest brother do the opposite when he was in the council just now?"
Yang Song stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, turned his head and looked around again, to make sure that there was no one around, and then said with a gloomy face: "Do you want to die? What kind of place is this? How dare you talk about such a thing? After being reprimanded by Yang Song, Yang Bai immediately shrank his neck and followed behind Yang Song without saying a word. All the way back home.
After entering the door of his house, Yang Song gave Yang Bai a color, and the two brothers walked towards the study. Go to the study and close the door. Only then did Yang Song speak: "Second brother, it's not for my brother to say you, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and we are secretly doing business." You can't say it, otherwise, sooner or later, you'll lose your head!"
Yang Bai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes." The eldest brother taught a lesson, and the younger brother wrote it down. Seeing that Yang Bai knew that he was wrong, Yang Song's face relaxed, and then said leisurely: "Who is Taishan? Now he has entered Sichuan to hook up with Yuan Zhang, and sooner or later he will take Yizhou for himself, but it is ridiculous that Yuan Zhang is mediocre and weak, and he still doesn't know that he lured the wolf into the room. If there is no Yuan Qi to intervene, we will sell Yuan Zhang to Taishan, it is nothing, but the arrival of Yuan Qi, we can't do that, we sell the master, just to seek glory, the price he paid by Taishan is far from enough for us to sell Zhang Lu. Although there is a fight between the east and the west, but it is a cold trend, if we covet that little profit, sell Xichuan to Mount Tai, Dongchuan will lose its support, if Yuan Qi really enters Dongchuan, we are bound to die without a place to be buried. ”
After Yang Bai listened to Yang Song's explanation, he suddenly realized and said: "So that's the case, so what should we do in the future?"
Yang Song looked at the ceiling with gloomy eyes, and said in a low voice: "Strange goods can live, we have a treasure in our hands, are we afraid that we won't be able to sell it at a good price? You go and send someone to inform Taishan, now things have changed, Yuan Qi has been stationed in Wuwei, if you want Zhang Lu to send troops to Xichuan, let Taishan send this number over, one less son, this thing will never be possible. As he spoke, Yang Song slowly stretched out five fingers.
Yang Bai was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Let Taishan send another five hundred catties of gold?" Yang Song turned his head and glared at Yang Bai angrily, and shouted: "Can five hundred catties of gold buy things and two rivers? Is your brain broken? It's five thousand catties! Tell Taishan, a fixed price, never bargain! You idiot!"
It can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news of Yuan Qi's garrison in Wuwei County also spread to CD Yuan Zhang hurriedly gathered his ministers to discuss what Yuan Qi's intentions were. Among the officials in Yizhou, many people have a deep-rooted traditional concept, believing that Yizhou is a country of abundance, which has always been coveted by people, and all those who bring troops to Yizhou are indiscriminately regarded by these people as wanting to seek Yizhou. Therefore, a considerable number of officials have no good impression of Yuan Qi, the king of Yan who was personally crowned by the Son of Heaven, and think that Yuan Qi must have come to seek Yizhou, and advised Yuan Zhang not to let Yuan Qi enter Sichuan.
If there are stubborn people, there will definitely be flexible people, Fa Zheng is in the ranks of flexibility, he stood up and said to Yuan Zhang and the generals: "Lord, everyone. At that time, I didn't hear you say that Mount Tai entered Sichuan to seek Yizhou, why did Yuan Qi come, you tried so hard to oppose it? On fame, Yuan Qi is a relative of the Yuan family, and is the king of Yan who was personally entitled by the Son of Heaven; in terms of strength, Yuan Qi is a member of the six northern states, and now he has taken Liangzhou, and the territory is not only ten times that of Mount Tai: in terms of conduct, Yuan Qi has repeatedly tried to turn the tide and fall, and his will can be seen from the sun and the moon; and Taishan took advantage of Yuan Jingsheng's serious illness to plot to usurp Jingzhou. Compared with these two people, which is superior and inferior, it is clear at a glance, I really don't understand why you respect Mount Tai, but you are afraid of Yuan Qi like a snake and scorpion?"
It is precisely because Mount Tai was born in the last and fledgling that he can be used by me, on the contrary, Yuan Qi is like a mortal Da Luo Jin Immortal, whose strength is far above that of my Yizhou, how can we control it? We are only to get rid of Zhang Lu's troubles, all considerations should be based on this angle, and other aspects have nothing to do with us!" Pang Yi, a diehard, stood up and refuted Fa Zheng.
With the debate between the two, the officials under Yuan Zhang's command were gradually divided into two factions, one faction was the flexible faction represented by Fa Zheng, including Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Song, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan Wu Ban, Wu Yi, Zhang Wei, Zhang Yi and other more than 20 well-known civil and military ministers, and the other faction was the diehard, among which the representative figures were Xu Jing, Zhang Su, Meng Da, Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other more than 40 people. Interestingly, the changeable Zhang Song is the younger brother of the diehard Zhang Su, and the two brothers are actually in two factions. In addition to these two factions, there are also some ministers who do not express any opinions, among which there are people who are not prominent in official positions such as Yuan Ba and Qin Mi, most of these people are specialized in a certain aspect, for example, Yuan Ba is good at managing money, Qin Mi is good at observing the sun, moon and astrology, obviously the discussion between the two factions is not a topic they like to participate in.
The quarrel between the two factions made Yuan Zhang suddenly feel a headache, and he shouted: "Okay! Shut up! There is no point in discussing this now! This mansion is for you to discuss the purpose of Yuan Qi's visit, not to let you compare him with Taishan, who is better!"
Seeing that Yuan Zhang was angry, the two factions stopped arguing and quieted down. After a while, Huang Quan stood up and said: "My lord, I think that Yuan Qi came this time, and his original intention was nothing more than two points, one is to fight for Hanzhong, and the other is to restrict Mount Tai. And these two points are beneficial and harmless to Yizhou, so a suggestion is better to ignore Yuanqi and let it play. ”
Fa Zheng immediately chimed in: "That's right! Yuan Qi only brought less than 50,000 troops this time, and he did not pose any threat to Yizhou at all, and Liangzhou was initially decided, he wanted to transfer people and horses in Liangzhou, and it was by no means possible to do it in a moment and a half, so it can be inferred that Yuan Qi would never be able to form a real threat to Yizhou within a year, and Yuan Qi himself must also know that he would never make a stupid move of hitting a stone with an egg, and send troops to attack Yizhou, not to mention, Yuan Qi is a relative of the Yuan clan, and he is still the son and nephew of the lord, if he commits the following crimes, he will lose the good reputation he has accumulated with great difficulty。 ”
Huang Quan and Fa Zheng's inference has been infinitely close to the truth, which not only makes the changemakers nod their heads, but even the diehards have to agree. In essence, these two factions only have different political views, but their original intention is to maintain the rule of Yizhou, and there may be quarrels internally, but externally, they work together and unanimously externally.
"Okay, then let Yuan Yuan get up and end the meeting. Yuan Zhang was convinced of Huang Quan and Fa Zheng's inference, and waved his hand to end the meeting.
On the other hand, in Jiameng Pass, Taishan is also discussing the purpose of Yuanqi with Pang Tong, and the conclusion reached is not much different from Huang Quan and Fa Zheng's inference, in this regard, Taishan is very annoyed, every time Yuanqi will appear at the most critical moment, blocking his dream of going further, but under the persuasion of Pang Tong, Taishan still reluctantly accepted such a result, canceled the plan to send troops to Dongchuan, and operated in Jiameng Pass with peace of mind.
