"It's just nothing. Anyway, as soon as Liu Yu's message came out, we were like fresh fish on the chopping board. One more family and one less family is not a big deal. Anyway, after such a long time, I have thought about everything.
It’s very clear.”
"My lord, it is only the incompetence of my subordinates and others that has allowed my lord to fall into the current situation. Please punish me, my lord!"
"Okay, it's useless to talk about this now, let's talk about who jumped out."
"No! Now we can confirm that there are three families of princes who are hostile to us. Among them, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, have clearly proposed to eliminate us and publicly... try the lord publicly to set the record straight. And Yuan Shaozeng, the governor of Bohai, has
I have privately lobbied the ministers and others, saying that as long as the lord cedes Jizhou to him, he is willing to protect the lord's wealth for the rest of his life. However, in compliance with the lord's request, I have firmly refused, and Yuan Shao will definitely be in trouble.
"
"Other than that?"
"Although Li Xue, the pastor of Bingzhou, did not clearly state how they would respond, we heard that there seemed to be signs of troop mobilization in the Shangdang area of Taiyuan recently, and we had to be on guard. In addition, Zhang Mengzhuo, the prefect of Chenliu, sent a message saying that
Knowing that the Lord has been wronged, if the Lord has nowhere to hide, Lord Meng Zhuo is willing to sweep the bed to welcome the Lord as a guest."
"Is that what Meng Zhuo said? This is really his style. He has been like this from the beginning. I didn't expect that after so many years, many people have changed and I no longer recognize him, but he is still the same
That look. Haha, it's a pity that he is such a loyal elder, and he is destined to be as unsuitable for this troubled world as me."
"My lord, what do you mean by this? Zhang Mengzhuo was one of the 'Eight Chefs' back then, so these words are absolutely guaranteed."
"I know very well who Zhang Mengzhuo is, but although he has the heart, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability. Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, I think that I, Han Wenjie, am grateful for your support from the Yuan family to me. As a result,
Now you're adding insult to injury. Humph, I can't tell who made those rumors!"
Although he lost his most trusted and trusted general, although many of his subordinates had betrayed him, and although he had been confused and helpless, Han Fu had finally experienced the turmoil of the famous people in the past, and now he has gradually grown from
The original calmness returned to him in the panic, and many things that he could not see clearly in the panic came to the surface.
"Then, my lord, how do you plan to respond? As long as my lord gives orders, Geng Wu will obey him to the death!"
There was an expression of excitement on Geng Wu's face that could not be concealed, and Han Fu couldn't help but frown secretly.
However, Han Fu also knew very well that Geng Wu could be regarded as coming from the Jizhou family. Although his status in the family was not too high, he was also an outstanding disciple with real talents and learning. But before Pan Feng died in the battle,
Geng Wu was always suppressed by Pan Feng, a general who had little foundation in Jizhou but was favored by him, so he was naturally very depressed.
However, Pan Feng's ability and character are indeed outstanding, so although he has always maintained a strong position against Geng Wu, Geng Wu did not show too many negative emotions. Instead, he performed quite well as Pan Feng's deputy.
Of course, this does not mean that Geng Wu has no ambition to make progress. No, Pan Fengzhan died in the battle against Dong. Without the suppression of his biggest enemy, Geng Wu naturally coveted the title of the top general of the Jizhou Army. It was just that before
Han Fu himself has always been a bit confused, so Geng Wukong was full of enthusiasm but useless.
But things are different now. In this situation where there are strong enemies outside and internal annihilation and chaos, if Geng Wu can still turn the tide in the crisis, then there is no doubt that the title of leader of the Jizhou Army must be in his possession.
The thing in.
This situation is a major crisis for Han Fu, but it may be a rare opportunity for Geng Wu.
However, Han Fu would not care too much about Geng Wu's ambition even if he knew about it, because Geng Wu did not replace him, at least there is no such sign yet. As for the other two
, Han Fu, who had recovered and even started to transform into another crazy state, was also trying to use Geng Wu's ambition to achieve his own goals.
The two of them can be said to hit it off.
"Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Yuan Benchu, I will make you pay for my love with your life!"
Looking at Han Fu with a ferocious face, Geng Wu suddenly felt that his choice might have been a mistake. If it hadn't been for him, there would be no possibility of changing his choice. At this time, Geng Wu really wanted to find the Yuan Shaojun envoy who was in contact with him.
, and then discuss with him the treatment that Han Fu would receive for rebelling against him proposed by Yuan Shao.
Of course, in order to stand out, he threw this thought out of his mind the next moment.
"Wen Wei, go and find Duke Yu and tell him that I want to discuss with him how to resist this foreign invasion."
"Sir, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Gong Yu is now the leader of the traitor group. If you discuss it with him, wouldn't this be seeking the skin of a tiger? Maybe he will persuade you to surrender to that damn Yuan Shao."
"Okay, I know your loyalty, but you don't need to think too much about this matter. I know very well what kind of person Gongyu is. He did that just because he was too disappointed in me.
It’s not difficult to deal with such people.”
Although Geng Wu has obtained a lot of powers that he had no chance to do before, it would not be difficult for Han Fu to take back these powers. Therefore, Geng Wu did not get too entangled with Han Fu for such "little things".
In his heart, Geng Wu was still very wary of Ju Shu, the "traitor" who had "betrayed" Han Fu, and his competitors who might share the power in his hands.
Jushu, who was summoned by Geng Wu to have a secret talk with Han Fu, no one knows what he finally talked about with Han Fu. However, Jushu looked a little worried when he left Han Fu's Jizhou governor's mansion, and this expression was enough to make many
The human brain is full of thoughts.
Soon, Jizhou's governor Han Fu's farewell changed from Jushou to Min Chun, and then with the full cooperation of Min Chun and Geng Wu, Jizhou's war machines began to operate, but the only thing they didn't know was that the operating
How much of the machine will listen to Han Fu, the governor of the state who is worried from the inside out, a guy who is not qualified to manage these county governors in the first place?
While Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others were frantically preparing for the war and doing various overt and covert tasks, Li Shushi's base camp, Jinyang City, ushered in a somewhat special team...
"Zhongde, are you sure you read it correctly?! That guy should either be advising the crumbling Han Fu or recruiting talents for his new master Yuan Shao. How come he suddenly appears here? Whether it is Han Fu or
Yuan Shaodu probably doesn’t want me as a ‘trouble’ to appear in Jizhou and disrupt their good situation.”
"If it is Yuan Benchu, he is naturally worried that the lord's intervention will make the fat he has obtained fly away. But if it is Han Fu who is already in a situation where he is besieged on all sides, that is not necessarily the case. After all, in desperate situations, some people will
It got crazy."
"In other words, maybe Han Fu wanted to have someone to support him before he died? That's why he came to me?"
"I guess that's what happened, and it seems that my lord has one more reason to enter Jizhou."
Looking at Cheng Yu's confident expression, Li Shushi did not show a happy expression, because he knew very well what kind of person Jushu was sent to Jinyang by Han Fu, and if such a person tried his best to do something
What a difficult thing it is.
During the previous discussion with Dong, the battlefield in Hebei was not the main battlefield. At the same time, as the head of the Jizhou Army, Jushou had a close relationship with Tian Feng, the controller of the Bohai Navy, but after all, they belonged to two princes, so there would always be conflicts between them.
A little estrangement prevented them from fully utilizing what they had learned in their minds. But even so, these few people still caused a lot of trouble for the Bingzhou Army.
But now, Jushu can display his talents without any scruples, and it is in the field in which he is relatively good. Li Shushi really doesn't know whether this arrival is a blessing or a curse for the Bingzhou Army, even if Jushu will definitely give enough
Sweet bait.
"After arriving all the way from Jizhou to Jinyang, Professor (Li Shushi felt a little awkward) realized that the world may have misunderstood Mr. Zhou Mu. Although Mr. Zhou Mu was slandered by ignorant people, he still could not forget his true heart. It was really impressive.
People praise and admire you.”
This is just a statement to prevent the talks from reaching a stalemate. It must be like this!
Although he kept reminding himself like this in his heart, Li Shushi still felt a feeling of elation since he could receive such praise from Ju Shou. After all, with his "understanding" of Ju Shou, although the Jizhou celebrity in front of him was not as temperamental as him.
My friend Tian Feng is so tough, but he is not a flatterer, so his praise naturally carries considerable weight.
"Since Mr. Gongyu feels that he has misunderstood me before, and now the governor of Han Wenjie Han who you serve has become a traitor, why don't you come to my Bingzhou and help me benefit the people here and suppress the foreign people?
I am the mighty country of the Han Dynasty."
"Professor (Li Shushi felt even more uncomfortable) looked at the sky at night. The star that represents Mr. Zhou Mu is as bright as the bright sun, and it is getting brighter. It is surrounded by many stars, all of which are brilliant. On the other hand, the star that represents me is exactly the same.
It has become bleak, so in order not to damage your great cause, Mr. Zhou Mu, it is better not to let a person like me with declining fortunes come to serve as an official beside you."
"It seems that the Korean culture is alive and well, but I'm afraid I won't get the husband. Anyway, just ask the husband to remember that there must be a seat for him in Jinyang. I hope that one day we can have a drink and talk in my mansion in Jinyang.
Let’s talk about the big and small things in the world together.”
After saying that, Li Shushi looked like he was about to see off his guests, which made Jushou, who was about to organize his vocabulary, stunned for a moment.
It seems that the rhythm is a bit wrong.
Seeing the disgusting-looking Xiaoqiang Tongxiao who had already walked up to him and stretched out his hand towards the door, a bitter smile appeared on Jushou's face, but it soon disappeared, as calm and calm as when he first met.
"Although Mr. Zhou Mu has managed well and the residents of Bingzhou are stable and prosperous, he still has a very big hidden worry."
Ignoring a certain Xiaoqiang who was constantly arrogant and posing on the side, Jushou stood there and talked as if he had not heard what Li Shushi had said before. And his behavior also made a certain Xiaoqiang feel uncomfortable for a moment.
Know what to do.
So, Xiaoqiang, you are still too sweet. I wonder if this is a necessary talent skill for all eloquent people?
Speaking of which, Jusao didn't laugh three times like Director Jin or Hyogo Kita when facing this situation, which was very embarrassing, so Li Shushi, who just started with scaremongering, said that he had been waiting for a long time.
"There are hidden worries... Maybe there are some hidden worries, but under the general trend, it won't cause any trouble."
You can't follow the opponent's rhythm, otherwise it will be difficult to fall into the opponent's trap and figure it out again.
But it has to be admitted that Jushou is a prestigious person to Li Shushi after all. Even though he knows that he wants to achieve a certain goal through some kind of "intimidation" and bluffing, he is already very curious about how he will use it.
method to convince myself, after all, I should have some reputation, and the other party should not fool me in the same way as a three-year-old child.
In this way, you can hear what the other party thinks about your own power.
After all, Jushou is not only a bystander, but as Han Fu's former humerus, Jushou should know a lot of secrets.
"Although Mr. Zhou Mu has a heavy army and countless capable ministers and generals under his command, he can't stop the ambitions of some young people. Maybe they can't fundamentally shake Mr. Zhou Mu, but they will also bring unnecessary attacks to Mr. Zhou Mu.
losses. And if someone attacks from behind at a critical moment, I am afraid that even with the power of Lord Zhou Mu, he will not be able to escape unscathed. Moreover, this is just a small group of people who exist internally. But around Lord Zhou Mu, there are still
There are greater hidden worries..."
"I know that Yuan Benchu, Gongsun Bogui and others seem to be making some moves recently, and I believe that you, the public, should know better than me, an outsider, about what their goals are. So... you are planning to drag me into this mess.
Water?"
"Yes, and no." Jushou's smile was quite enigmatic. Based purely on his acting skills, he could give him sixteen likes.
"It's really interesting. Then let me experience the style of Ju Gongyu, a famous scholar in Jizhou."
And just when Jushou appeared in Jinyang, the senior officials of Cao Cao's army who were heading north became no longer calm because of a letter.
"Mengde, why do we have to go back to the north and get involved in this kind of thing? Although Yuan Benchu does have a lot of kindness to us, he is not our enemy. Yangzhou is so good, I think that Chen
Wen doesn't know much about military matters, so he will definitely rely on Mengde for your strength.
As time goes by, when we have accumulated enough connections, the entire Yangzhou may become yours, Meng De. At that time, whether we go up the Yangtze River to attack Liu Biao or go north to Xuzhou to attack Tao Qian, for us
It’s not a big problem, and it can also help Yuan Benzhu, right?”
"Huh? I didn't expect Yuan Rang that you could think of so many things. This is really a strange thing."
However, Xiahou Dun did not react at all to his brother Xia Houyuan's teasing, and still looked at Cao Cao's calm face.
"When Yuan Rang said such words, I'm afraid that the other meaning is that he is worried about Bingzhou's strength. I always feel that after the battle of Hongnong, Yuan Rang seems to have changed a lot, and you don't seem to be as... as before.
So brave."
It seemed that he was worried about irritating Xiahou Dun. Cao Cao seemed to be very careful when he spoke, but it was just the content of what he said...
"I do think it's unwise for you, Meng De, to use the wealth we finally regained to fight with Bingzhou."
"Oh? Yuan Rang, do you really have no confidence in our troops? You must know that Danyang soldiers are world-famous strong soldiers."
"So what if they are strong soldiers? Compared with the soldiers and horses brought by Zixiao, they are only five to five, and you must know that they are not the most elite troops in Bingzhou. Not to mention that Lu Fengxian, Zhao Zilong, Gao Zi'an and others are all
He is a good general in the world, but he is not much easier to deal with than that king. Even though we have all benefited from the battle in Hongnong, we still need to pay a huge price if we want to win."
Xiahou Dun is indeed a natural animal, but this does not mean that he is really a fool. From Cao Ren, we can see how strong the Bingzhou Army is, let alone when he and Xiahou Yuan were in Bingzhou
However, he was often trained by the generals of the Bingzhou Army. Although it seemed a bit unbrave to be timid before fighting, for the sake of Cao Cao's future development, Xiahou Dun did not mind his own face.
It was precisely for this reason that Cao Cao was not angry at Xiahou Dun's slightly offensive tone.
"Although Yuan Rang is right, what excuse can we have to reject Yuan Benchu's request? The tone is so sincere, which makes it difficult to refuse."
Li Dian also sighed and put forward his own ideas with a somewhat solemn expression.
It turns out that Yuan Shao also believed that Li Shushi, who was staying in Bingzhou, would definitely take advantage of the chaos in Jizhou to come out to disrupt the situation. After all, although he did not have as intuitive an understanding of Bingzhou's combat effectiveness as Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers, he could still do it anyway.
He had fought a fierce battle in Hebei and suffered a big loss, not to mention that his favorite generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were very fond of the generals in Bingzhou. Yuan Shao naturally wanted to cause some trouble for Bingzhou so that they would have no time to visit.
.
Of course, this time, naturally, he could no longer use the method of inciting powerful people to rebel, which was not very effective, so Yuan Shao wrote a letter to find his good friend Cao Cao, who was returning to the north and didn't know where to go. He hoped that
He was able to go to Henan and attack Hanoi County, which was second only to Taiyuan County in importance to the Bingzhou Army.
And it was this letter that caused some controversy above.
Although Li Dian was one of the senior officials of Cao Cao's army who had the worst opinion of Li Shushi, he still sided with Xiahou Dun at this time. After all, this choice was related to the future development of his lord Cao Cao. So even with this
People have their likes and dislikes, but Li Dian still chose to look at this matter from a business perspective.
"It's hard to find an excuse. Isn't there a riot in the Yellow Turbans over there in Qingzhou? We went to help annihilate the Yellow Turbans at the invitation of Bao Jibei. Although we hope to help Brother Benchu, but if we don't go, Bao Jibei will
I am worried about my life."
Cao Hong looked relaxed, and was even in the mood to make fun of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin.
However, whether it was an exhortation or an idea, the core idea was only one: preserve strength and not engage in head-on confrontation with the Bingzhou Army.
Obviously, as the news that the Dong Dong Alliance has been essentially disbanded spread throughout China, everyone with some brains and ideas has realized that troubled times are coming, and if they want to find a place to stay in these troubled times, then
The money, food, troops and horses in hand are the top priority, and the latter is the basis of all elements.
After all, if there is no money and food, you can rob it, and if there is no territory, you can seize it. But if you don’t have enough powerful or large numbers of soldiers and horses, then you can only become a vine that depends on others to survive in troubled times. Although vines can also counterattack big trees.
, but this method is quite contradictory to the generals of Cao Cao's army, whose current strength has not been greatly damaged and has even recovered a lot.
"What you all said makes sense, but...hey, perhaps Brother Benchu sees clearly that it is very difficult for a person who has no desires and desires to be alone in such a troubled world, let alone
Where is Li Xue’s position?”
It seems to be lamenting the experiences of others, but it also seems to be lamenting something else.
All in all, the expression on Cao Cao's face at this moment looks very subtle. (To be continued.
