Chapter 4 Planning
Although he had had a premonition, Yuan Shu was still very surprised to see Xun You consider himself the master.
He quickly stood up and helped him up.
"It is truly an honor for me to be able to recognize you as my lord Gongda. Gongda, get up quickly. I still have some things I want to discuss with you."
Xun You stood up with Yuan Shu's help, and then sat back in his seat.
"I wonder what's the problem, my lord?"
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and then expressed his question first.
"Gongda, although I have a small ambition, I have always been domineering, ambitious and talented. Why did Gongda notice me this time and regard me as his master?"
Xun You was stunned after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to belittle yourself. As a lord, you don't need to be talented or kind-hearted. You only need to be firm-willed, ambitious, good at discovering and appointing virtuous people, and can make the right decisions."
The choice is just Chana Yayan."
"My lord has done well in these aspects."
Hearing this, Yuan Shu scratched his head with some guilt.
"What's more, Xun is confident in his talent."
Having said this, Xun You's face was full of confidence.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Yuan Shu was confused after hearing this.
"Those who are the best in martial arts, commander-in-chief, resourcefulness or charm will all have their own talents, and my lord must be no exception!"
Yuan Shu nodded.
"My lord's talent must be related to predicting the future, otherwise he wouldn't know about Dong Zhuo."
Hearing this, Yuan Shu was a little embarrassed.
I know Dong Zhuo because I came from later generations and have read history.
Well, this can be considered a different kind of talent!
It does sound like a gift of time.
Seeing that Yuan Shu had a strange look on his face, but he still nodded, Xun You began to continue.
"Although I am not talented, I still have a kind of talent, intuition. Although I haven't figured out this talent yet, I probably know how to use it."
"Every time I encounter a choice, my talent will tell me which choice is relatively better. Although there may be some errors sometimes, it is usually not wrong."
After saying that, Xun You took out a copper coin and threw it upward.
Before the copper coin fell, Xun You said: "Face up."
Sure enough, the fallen copper coin bounced twice and then lay face up on the ground.
After putting away the copper coins, Xun You continued, "I saw your lord's eyes at the banquet today, and I had a strong feeling in my heart that I wanted to recognize my lord."
"My intuition tells me that the Lord is likely to be the one who can ascend the throne in the future."
"That's why I came to inspect the Lord, and finally chose to recognize him as my Lord."
Hearing this, Yuan Shu was a little shocked. This talent is too powerful.
No wonder Xun You in history was able to go through many disasters but still have a smooth journey. He didn't talk much but succeeded in every plan he made. It turns out that the roots are here!
However, Yuan Shu felt happy when he thought that such a powerful counselor considered himself the master.
After feeling uneasy for a while, Yuan Shu began to formally consult Xun You.
"Gongda, the general is about to recruit Dong Zhuo to the capital. This is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. What should I do?"
Xun You smiled slightly: "My lord, don't you have your own plans? We don't need to participate in the maelstrom of the capital. Troubled times are coming. Only the territory and the army are real. My lord should go to the palace now and ask your father for Yangzhou."
The position of state pastor."
"Then the lord can use the Yuan family, the largest family in the world, to recruit talents, people, and craftsmen."
"In the near future, no matter what Dong Zhuo, He Jin and others do to Luoyang, my lord only needs to wait and see what happens, accumulate supplies, build high walls, and prepare troops and horses to wait for the right time."
These words speak to Yuan Shu's heart.
Although Yuan Shu did not have great wisdom, he had a very clear outline of the path he should take in the future.
This is the wisdom summarized from two thousand years of historical experience.
However, Yuan Shu was a little confused about the details.
It is in need of an excellent counselor like Xun You to supplement, fill in and modify these frameworks.
"There are thirteen states in the Han Dynasty. Why did my lord choose Yangzhou?"
While Yuan Shu was still thinking, Xun You suddenly raised his question.
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment: "My brother Yuan Shao will probably unify Hebei in the future, and Cao Mengde will unify the Central Plains. In the future, the northern land will be a mixture of dragons and snakes, with heroes dancing wildly, while the south will be relatively quiet and suitable for development."
Xun You smiled softly: "I'm afraid my lord is not telling the truth! It all depends on people. If my lord really believes in the so-called prophecy, then why am I here? My lord's choice of Yangzhou may have another deep meaning."
"Uh." Yuan Shu thought for a while and finally spoke his mind.
"Aristocratic families. These people are too terrifying and out of control. The forces I control only need one voice and only one master."
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes.
"The Yuan family is not my Yuan Shu's Yuan family. Although choosing Yuzhou can make the Yuan family stronger quickly. But all this will not be completely under my control. The strength of the southern family is relatively weak, and I can slowly divide them and disintegrate them.
, and truly establish one’s own foundation.”
"Yuan Benchu could rise in Hebei without relying on the Yuan family, and Cao Mengde could unify the Central Plains even if he started from scratch. I, Yuan Shu, am no worse than them at all, so why can't I start from scratch and unify the south!"
At the end of the story, Yuan Shu became more and more confident, and he suddenly felt like a king.
At this time, Yuan Shu looked directly at Xun You, but did not notice that the green and purple halo on Xun You's head became a little stronger again.
"My lord is indeed very human! He dares to risk the disapproval of the world."
"How do you know whether you will succeed if you don't try? In the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty, countless British masters also overcame obstacles and obstacles to achieve the grand plan of the Han Dynasty. Since I, Yuan Gongdao, was born in this troubled time, naturally I want to create an immortal dynasty!"
Xun You opened his mouth, looking hesitant to say something, but in the end he just sighed.
"My lord has great ambitions, and there is nothing he can't do. But these things are still too far away. Since my lord has chosen Yangzhou, we must carefully plan how to develop Yangzhou in the next few years."
"Please also ask Gongda to give me some advice."
"In troubled times, talents, soldiers, food, weapons, and horses are all the key."
"The master can recruit talents on his own. I also have a few friends who can be recruited to assist the master."
"Soldiers, the soldiers from Jiangdong were famous all over the world at the end of Qin Dynasty, and the elite soldiers from Danyang were the most powerful source of infantry in the world."
"Grain and grass, Jizhou, and Jingzhou are both major grain-producing states. My lord can send his men to these two states to purchase grain. In the future, we will vigorously develop Yangzhou and capture Jingzhou, and there will be no worries about grain and grass."
"For ordnance, my lord can recruit a large number of craftsmen through the Yuan family. There are also many masters in Jiangdong who are good at shipbuilding."
"War horses, this is the most important thing. There are mostly infantry and archers in Jiangdong, and three thousand cavalry can be invincible. This is a big drawback. Before we can't touch Youzhou, the lord can go to Youzhou or merge with the state to purchase
horse."
...
The two of them kept discussing their future development together and had a great time talking.
Unknowingly, the golden crow sank in the west, and the two of them just left.
