Yuan Shao sat behind the desk and looked at the Han territory map in his hand in detail.
As one of the top government offices in Kyoto, it is not too difficult to obtain this kind of military map.
Yuan Shao glanced at the top of the map for a long time, making calculations in his mind.
If he could make a free choice, he would definitely choose Runan, followed by Nanyang. Runan is the birthplace of the Yuan family and is deeply rooted. In Runan, all officials from the prefect to the lower level are members of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family
There are also broadcasts of charity in Runan, which is very famous. It is precisely because the land in Runan has always been the private land of the family head, and no one else is allowed to get involved. Even Yuan Shu, who is favored by Yuan Wei, cannot do it before he officially becomes the head of the family.
Tolerable.
Besides Runan, there is Nanyang. If Runan is the first base area of the Yuan family, then Nanyang is the second base area opened up by the Yuan family. Nanyang is an important hub for traveling from north to south, with prosperous commerce, extremely dense population, and extremely prosperous
, Yuan Shao originally coveted this, but unfortunately, Yuan Shao knew that this land had been assigned to Yuan Shu. Every year at the end of the year, in addition to the wealth that Yuan Wei could enjoy, a small part of the wealth paid by Nanyang was given to Yuan Shu.
He asked Yuan Shu to provide for his expenses.
Therefore, Yuan Shao could only look at these two pieces of fat and had no choice but to look for another direction.
Where would it be better to choose? Yuan Shao's eyes roamed on the map of the Han territory. He suddenly remembered what he said when he was a teenager and when Cao Cao was pointing out the country, when he had various imaginations about the future - "Govern the river in the south, block the river in the north."
The people of Yan, Dai, and Rong, and Di, are going south to fight for the world, how can the common people help?" - That means first guarding the Yellow River in the south, guarding Yanshan in the north, and Daijun, attacking and annexing the Rong and Dihu, and then heading south
Fight for the world.
And the place referred to by the Yan Dynasty who occupied Hebei in the south is Jizhou.
To be honest, this grand strategy is not Yuan Shao’s patented idea. As early as the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu did this. Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, relied on the land of Hebei and the power of the local wealthy families in Hebei.
Unify the world, so when Yuan Shao and Cao Ca said this, they were actually influenced by Liu Xiu.
But today, it seems that SNSD’s unintentional words are quite feasible.
The current governor of Jizhou is Han Fu. This person is an old official of the Yuan family. He was recommended by the Yuan family to become the governor of Jizhou. Therefore, if you go to Jizhou, you should at least take care of Yuan's eldest son because of his status.
There is some intention, and at this time Jizhou is still facing a problem that needs to be solved.
That is the remnant of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly extinguished, there were still some people who were transferred from the rebel army to become mountain bandits and hid in the mountains. The imperial court was limited by its limited military strength and could not conduct large-scale raids in the mountains;
The restrictions could not support a long-term battle, so these newly transferred bandits temporarily escaped the pursuit of the court and established themselves as kings in some mountainous areas.
Of course, the largest remnant of the Yellow Turbans is currently in Qingzhou, but Qingzhou has been basically destroyed, and production has basically not recovered. These remnants of the Yellow Turbans who dominate the mountains can not only rely on hunting in the mountains to feed themselves, but will inevitably go down the mountains to plunder.
The relatively stable and prosperous neighbor Jizhou is the best choice. Therefore, when Yuan Shao arrives in Jizhou, as long as he holds high the sign of Yuan's eldest son and the banner of protecting the scholars of Jizhou and calming down the banditry, he will definitely win the victory from the officials and nobles of Jizhou, to the lower level.
The support of ordinary people.
Looking at it now, if you want to leave Luoyang, the best choice is Jizhou.
But leaving Luoyang like a lost dog like this is not what Yuan Shao wants, but how to do it?
At this moment, a servant of the family rushed in with a famous thorn in his hand and reported that Dong Zhuo had called urgently and that the visitor was waiting outside the door. Yuan Shao frowned, I have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, why is Dong Zhuo looking for me? However, although he has doubts, but After all, Dong Zhuo's official position was higher than his, so he had no choice but to leave.
When he arrived at Dong Zhuo's house, he met with him and after chatting with him about some innocuous gossip, Dong Zhuo said: "The emperor rushed into the dark, but he is not the master of ten thousand chariots. King Chenliu is still victorious, and now he wants to establish him. People have little wisdom. , No matter how great or foolish you are, you don’t know what to do. Why don’t you see the Emperor Ling? Thinking of this makes people angry!” - The emperor is young and ignorant, and is not suitable for the throne. I think King Chenliu is better, so If you want to make King Chenliu the emperor, your age is not a problem, what matters is how you do in the role. You see, Ling Emperor was good at first, but then he failed. Wouldn't it make people resentful to have another one like him?
The main reason why Dong Zhuo asked Yuan Shao to talk about this matter was because he wanted Yuan Shao to be a sounding board, so that he could tell Yuan Wei his determination to depose the emperor and explore the Yuan family's attitude towards this matter.
In the current court, Dong Zhuo holds the most military power, and the Yuan family is the largest among the Qingliu gentry. Therefore, as long as Yuan Wei nods, the dethroning of the emperor will be done, and it will be useless even if other people object. Dong Zhuo wanted to go to Yuan Wei's house. Dong Zhuo felt that he was condescending and asked Yuan Wei to come. He couldn't summon Yuan Wei and leave immediately, so he went to Yuan Shao, the eldest son of Yuan.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he did not reply immediately. Obviously Dong Zhuo's tone was not to ask for his attitude, but to hope that he could take the words back. According to common sense, Yuan Shao should say that this matter is important and he can consider it after he returns home. In this case, both parties will understand what it means, and the purpose of Dong Zhuo's meeting with Yuan Shao will be achieved.
But Yuan Shao didn't want to do this, because Yuan Shao learned that in fact Yuan Wei——
Yuan Shao stood up and said: "The Han family has ruled the world for more than four hundred years, and has been deeply benevolent and blessed by the people for a long time. Although the current emperor is young, he has not done anything bad to spread the word to the world. If the public wants to abolish the throne, it is better to establish a concubine, for fear that the public will not follow the public discussion. ."——Yuan Shao not only did not express his intention to take the words back, but also expressed his strong opposition!
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then cursed angrily: "Shuzi! Don't I decide the world's affairs? Who dares to disobey this order? You said that Dong Zhuo's sword is not good!" - Brat, I didn't ask you to do it. If you don't understand what you're saying, go home and tell your parents, or I'll treat you to a knife!
Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao asked, "Isn't Mr. Dong the only one who is strong in the world?" Then he crossed his hands and bowed before leaving.
This made Dong Zhuo very angry and cursed the Yuan family for being ignorant. When he saw Li Ru coming out of the back hall, he angrily said to Li Ru: "If you insult me, you will be severely punished!"
"Ming Gong, please calm down. The Yuan family is in trouble this time." Li Ru said calmly. It is too early to settle accounts with the Yuan family. There are still places for the Yuan family, so there is no rush to hold Yuan Shao accountable.
Dong Zhuo didn't understand and said, "What's so strange about this?" - I think he's just a fool, he can't even understand what he's saying.
Not long after, soldiers from the city gate came to report that Yuan Shao, the commander of the Central Military Academy, hung the staff above the east city gate and left the city!
After Li Ru heard this, his thoughts changed and he suddenly asked the soldier: "I only see the staff, but can it have a seal and a ribbon?"
"I haven't seen the seal yet." Bingjia replied.
Li Ru smiled and said, "That's it!" He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat.
