Just when Zhang Yan was worried about the future of his Black Mountain Army, Yuan Shao in Yecheng also had a headache.
The current situation is changing so fast. This Zhang Yang, alas, is so unbearable...
The waiter in the hall reported that Xu You came as ordered, and Yuan Shao signaled for him to come in.
Xu You swung his big sleeves and walked to Yuan Shao's hall. Then he stretched out his hands from his sleeves, put them together and made a bow: "I have met Mr. Ming."
"Ah, Ziyuan, here you are, please take a seat." Yuan Shao nodded and said.
Xu You thanked Yuan Shao, took off his shoes, entered the hall, and sat down on the thin white-coated mat beside him.
Yuan Shao reached out and called the maid, poured a bowl of tea soup for Xu You, and said: "The weather is getting colder, Ziyuan can use some to warm up."
After the drink was finished and the maid cleared away the tea bowl, Yuan Shaocai said calmly: "Zi Yuan is indeed very insightful. The person he recommended has already been appointed to the party."
The news that Fei Qian obtained the Shangdang spread quickly, and Jizhou, which is across the mountain, also quickly got the news. Although Yuan Shao was very happy about the war horses sent by Fei Qian, he still thought about it for a long time, and finally called
I asked Xu You who first recommended Fei Qian and wanted to hear his opinion.
Tian Feng was sent to contact several large local companies in Jizhou to collect sponsorship fees. Well, the labor supplies were sent...
Zhizhong Guo Tu is busy reviewing the merits of all the middle and lower-level officials in Jizhou. This matter naturally needs to be done by people from Yuzhou...
Shen Pei has been reorganizing the soldiers in Jizhou counties with several generals, and is not in Yecheng now...
Jushu has gone on an envoy to Xuzhou, and it may take some time before he comes back...
Feng Ji is responsible for the construction of the new city in the north of the city, and is also quite busy...
Only Xu You has been free recently...
Although the strategy of making friends with Fei Qian had been determined before, he did not expect that Fei Qian would move so quickly and capture the Shangdang almost in the blink of an eye. This inevitably made Yuan Shao a little uneasy.
The most important thing is that the nobles of Shangdang actually supported Fei Qian and expelled Wen Hao, the former governor of Shangdang?!
this……
I really don’t know whether I should say that Fei Qian was too popular, or should I say that the behavior of the original Shangdang Governor Wen Hao was too unpopular? Do you think this kind of thing exists? It does exist. It happened in Jiaozhou and Yizhou before.
There have been cases where the local people drove the prefect out of the country, which caused the prefect to be disgraced, but this was the first time that it happened in Bingzhou.
"It's natural!" Xu You shook his head, and then said, "Fortunately, my lord has not been deceived by Xiao Xiao, and he is also kind and accepting."
Xiaoxiao?
Yuan Shao couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Ziyuan... we are all colleagues, we shouldn't speak like this."
This Xu You and Xu Ziyuan are really vindictive. However, Yuan Shao doesn't care much about this matter. He even just does some work on the surface. In fact, he doesn't want these people under him to be good, just like wearing the same pants.
Those in superior positions should understand the way of balance.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also wanted to do something at the beginning, such as gathering military power from various places, establishing an army directly under the central government, etc., but in the end he was forced to end up with a reputation of incompetence. In addition to being somewhat backward in strategy,
What's more important is that the various factions are not well balanced, resulting in the eunuchs being dominated by one...
Yuan Shao learned this lesson very profoundly. Therefore, for Jizhou now, he is also trying to balance it as much as possible. People in Jizhou want to use it, but they cannot use it all. The same is true for people in Yuzhou. In this way, Yuan Shao's own importance can be
Only by manifesting it can you control all the power.
But for now, putting aside the conflict between the people of Jizhou and Yuzhou, Yuan Shao feels that Feiqian is expanding too fast now? At such a speed, it might become a threat. Although Jizhou is good, it is still flat.
Belongs to the place of the Four Wars...
Xu You observed Yuan Shao's expression and couldn't help but blink.
Xu You is quite satisfied with Fei Qian, at least with some of the souvenirs that Fei Qian sent. In just a short time, he has already obtained a pair of jade horses, a large glass vase, and what else?
Not to mention some scattered golden rings and jade...
How can a person like this be better than that fool Zhang Yang?
More importantly, Xu You didn't think Fei Qian would become a threat to Yuan Shao in his heart. Even if Fei Qian had obtained the Shangdang now, what would happen?
Shangdang is one county, and the indistinct Shangjun is still in a bitter and cold place like Bingzhou. What is there to worry about?
However, since Yuan Shao was worried about this, Xu You naturally spoke up and said: "In the past, the Marquis of Wei wanted to abandon Qiancheng with two eggs. Zi thought that we should learn from the strong points and eliminate the weak points. How is the current situation different from the Warring States Period? Ming
If you are the master of others, why should you fear the benefits of your minions?"
Yuan Shao nodded and said nothing. Of course he knew this allusion to Zisi's advice to the Marquis of Wei, but his main concern was that Fei Qian would become Yuan Shu's help. If he came out from his flank in a future fight...
Recently, Yuan Shu's men have been sending envoys frequently, which has made Yuan Shao feel a little panicked. It is said that even the Wuhuan people received Yuan Shu's envoys.
"" banner, they didn't know who was who, and they were still wondering why Yuan Shao sent people here twice. This really made Yuan Shao speechless.
After some calculation, Yuan Shao felt that Yuan Shu's frame was too big now. If Fei Qian was defeated by Yuan Shu again, he might be attacked from both sides. This was not a good thing.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and carefully thought about Yuan Shao's thoughts. He found that what he just said did not seem to be on point. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly understood something and said tentatively: "If Ming Gong doesn't want to do anything, he will be defeated."
Regarding neighboring countries...you have a plan..."
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he said: "Zi Yuan, please speak."
Xu You now knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Ming Gong's concern is nothing but Southern Chu. Since there are generals on the side, you might as well represent him as the governor of Shangdang, grant him a seal, and win his heart; order the king of Hanoi to raise troops.
Stationed in Houma to prevent changes..."
Xu You shook his head, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "In this way, Fei is in Shangdang and Yang is in Taiyuan. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there will inevitably be a fight for a small place! Yang Qiang can secretly help Fei
, Fei Sheng, you can use Yang Fei, Yang Fei, Yang two can't compete with each other, there will be no time for him to take care of him, Ming Gong can take advantage of the situation, and decide whether they live or die, it is as easy as turning the palm of his hand."
Yuan Shao laughed heartily, clasped his hands and said: "Ziyuan's brilliant plan! I will follow your words!" He immediately ordered an edict to be prepared, stamped with the seal of General Chariot and Cavalry, and then sent someone to Shangdang...
Anyway, Yuan Shao is also skilled in this matter. It is said that his current chariot general has not yet been officially recognized by the court. In other words, the seal of his chariot general is not comparable to the carrot seals that are everywhere in the world in later generations.
up and down.
It's just that now the gentry children of the Shandong Group don't really care whether it is the carrot seal or the imperial seal. They just need such a name...
