Chapter 350 The plot against Liu Jian is here again
Major events that occurred in the first half of Chuping and Siping, in addition to the rebellion in Youzhou and the relocation of Dong Zhuo's capital from Luoyang... On the Guandong side, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others finally turned against each other and began to fight.
First, Yuan Shao united his forces in Yanzhou and Yuzhou and launched an attack on Yuan Shu in Huainan.
Yuan Shu took the initiative to join forces with Tao Qian of Xuzhou to counter Yuan Shao.
Logically speaking, as Yuan Benchu was the leader of the alliance against Dong Zhuo and a role model for the world, there should be more people on his side among the princes of Guandong.
Yuan Shu's reputation in Luoyang was not good in the past, and he was notorious as "Yuan Jiujiu, the fierce ghost in the mainland". Compared with his two brothers, his reputation was really average. Therefore, most people should rely on Yuan Shao.
side.
However, there is always a slight gap between reality and speculation.
This time Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu clashed. Except for Yuan Shao's die-hard Cao Cao and Zhou Angken who sent troops to help, all the other subordinates who were usually friends with Yuan Shao and followed Yuan Shao's lead were silent.
Especially those people who Yuan Shao deployed in Yanzhou in the past, such as Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others, actually stood still, or in other words, their soldiers and horses were busy with their own affairs.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, simply sided with Yuan Shu and opposed Yuan Shao.
As for the reason, it's very simple. Because of this war, no one supports Yuan Shao very much.
Even Yuan Yi, who was confronting Liu Yan in Yizhou, pretended to be dumbfounded and did not respond to Yuan Shao.
You must know that if Yuan Yi wants to stay in Yizhou, he must need Yuan Shao as a foreign aid.
Even he did not support Yuan Shao, which shows that the letter Yuan Shu wrote against Yuan Shao had some subtle effects.
Although Yuan Shao is still the same Yuan Shao and his reputation is still the same, everyone has more or less remembered the fact that he used his troops to secretly hurt Yuan Ji.
Although it is not shown on the surface, the respect that people in the world have for Yuan Shao has somewhat changed.
Sure enough, as Liu Jian expected, although it was not obvious, Yuan Shao's golden body as a model in the world was broken.
But even so, Yuan Shao still had hardcore supporters supporting him.
Such as Cao Cao, such as Zhou Ang, such as Sun Jian.
These people directly stood up to fight for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
However, although there were conflicts between the two Yuans, they somewhat saved each other's face and did not kill each other.
Because they have no reason to kill him yet.
The key to the current dispute between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao is that Yuan Shu wants to compete for his family's resources in Yuzhou.
After all, Yuzhou is the hometown of the Yuan family. Its geographical location is important and plays a decisive role in the development of any member of the Yuan family.
Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao's proportion of the family's resources in Yuzhou far exceeds that of Yuan Shu.
This is something Yuan Shu absolutely cannot allow.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to have a head-on confrontation with Yuan Shao and insert his hand into the territory of Yuzhou.
Since the two sides do not have a life-or-death enmity, they still have to care about their brotherhood to some extent. Therefore, in this war, the two sides also tested each other in many ways.
Yuan Shao has always had a small thought in his heart. He does not want Yuan Shu to stay in Yangzhou, but hopes to replace Yuan Shu with Cao Cao... But Yuan Shao currently has no particularly good way to do this.
At the moment, he just doesn't want to get too stalemate with Yuan Shu and plunge himself into a quagmire.
At present, Yuan Shao's main strategic goal is still the imperial court.
In addition, the situation in the northern Central Plains also made Yuan Shao more concerned.
Because recently, the few younger brothers he had deployed in Yanzhou have begun to secretly build up strength among themselves.
On the surface, they seemed to still listen to Yuan Shao's words, but in fact they no longer acted according to Yuan Shao's instructions.
According to Yuan Shao's idea, he wanted Liu Dai, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao, and Cao Cao to form a tight defense line in the Central Plains - to block Liu Jian in the north and Dong Zhuo in the west.
Yuan Shao's design was originally very good, but the problem was that these people began to have their own ambitions.
In the Central Plains region, they no longer just clung to the territory that Yuan Shao originally divided for them, but also began to have conflicts with each other.
Especially between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, the relationship between the two people has become worse and worse. If nothing unexpected happens, a fight is likely to break out in a short time.
Now Yuan Shao not only has to fight Yuan Shu, but also has to worry about the situation in the Central Plains.
To be honest, he was very unhappy.
His losses over the past six months are meaningless.
But there's nothing I can do about it, whether it's sex or sex, these little brothers are really too disobedient and worry-free.
Yuan Shao was really exhausted mentally and physically.
At this time, the only younger brother Yuan Shao can trust is Cao Cao.
In this battle with Yuan Shu, Cao Cao once again sent troops from Shanyang County to help Yuan Shao, showing his loyalty to his brothers.
So Yuan Shao went to the east front in person, met with Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao the pain in his heart.
In the military camp, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sat across from each other and had a drink.
Yuan Shao raised his head and swallowed all the bitter wine in the wine cup.
Then I saw him put down the wine baron with a dull look on his face.
"Ever since Yuan Jiujiu took out that letter and slandered me last year, Yuan has not had an easy time for more than half a year. It can be said that everything has gone wrong."
Cao Cao sighed: "The current situation is different. Everyone's hearts are wild. They are no longer the people who respected you in the past. Everyone has begun to think about their own ideas."
Yuan Shao sighed: "Mengde, I'll tell you the truth, I actually wanted you to go to Jiangdong to replace Yuan Gongdao, but now the time has not come, so I can only let you associate with these insects in this land of Yanzhou! I really feel sad in my heart
I feel so sorry."
Cao Cao said indifferently: "It's all for the country, it's harmless, but you still need to change your strategy next time."
Yuan Shao scratched his head in distress.
"I also want to change my strategy, but Yuan Jiujiu refuses to give in now and insists on reaching Yuzhou, but I can't stop him."
Cao Cao filled the cups of wine for Yuan Shao and himself at the same time.
"With the current situation, it is better to take a step back and give up half of Yuzhou's land to allow Yuan Gongdao to move in. At this time, you can put down your dignity and make peace with him."
"What?!"
After Yuan Shao heard this, he was shocked and angry.
"Mengde, what are you talking about? The foundation I created in Jingyu is not easy, why should I give it to Yuan Gongli? Besides, I also know Yuan Shu's ambition. If I give in, he will definitely be
I press forward step by step and never hold back. If I do this, wouldn't I be complacent and ruin my own future?"
Cao Cao smiled and comforted him and said: "Benchu, if you really understand highways, you will know that what you gave to him today will not take long to fully recover."
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this.
"What do you mean?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "After all, you are all members of the Yuan family. You have broken bones and still have tendons attached. If one family fights another family to death, then the face will be tarnished and everyone in the world will laugh at it. For this reason, Yuan
He knows the roads."
"What I mean is to ask the elders of the Yuan family in Runan to come forward and testify that the land of Yuzhou will be divided into the east and west sides, so that Yuan Highway can move to the east of Yuzhou and share the Yuan family's resources in Yuzhou with you.
The elders of the Yuan family have come forward to mediate, and everyone in the world is watching. No matter how arrogant Yuan Jiujiu is, he will be embarrassed to seize your territory in the west of Yuzhou in the future."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
"Then what?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Then? Benchu, based on your understanding of the highway, what do you think he will become next?"
Yuan Shao was silent for a while, and then said: "When you are satisfied, you will do whatever you want."
Cao Cao nodded: "Yes, even you took the initiative to give way to him Yuan Gugliu, how can he not be complacent?"
"If he were still the same Yuan Gongdao, after taking over half of Yuzhou, he would not send troops to the west of Yuzhou in consideration of the face of his clan, but he would definitely continue to expand his power into the Central Plains."
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth when he heard this and said: "I have laid out the land in the Central Plains for a long time, why do I want Yuan Guangdu to enter?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "Original, have you forgotten? Didn't you just say that your friends in the Central Plains are now separated from you - they no longer obey your orders, and they all care about their own affairs.
Allowing Yuan Jiujiu's forces to enter the Central Plains will also teach them a lesson."
"And don't forget, to the north of the Central Plains is Liu Jian. Yang Biao sent a letter from the capital earlier. Although Liu Jian did not hand over King Chenliu, he was willing to join forces and abolish the establishment. We can take this opportunity to
We reached a short-term alliance with Liu Jian, and as for Yuan Gongdao, when he arrives in the Central Plains, with his nature and temper, it will not be difficult for him to compete with Liu Jian."
"As for Cao, he is willing to help Benchu and take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to gain benefits for Jingzhou. If this stirs up trouble in the middle, just leave it to me."
Yuan Shao nodded suddenly: "That's possible! If Yuan Gongdao can really compete with Liu Jian, and if Gongdao wins, we will take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains and crush Liu Jian to death."
"If the highway loses its power, the land of Yangzhou can also be taken back from him."
Cao Cao said: "This is easy to say, but difficult to do. However, Cao is willing to give it a try."
Yuan Shao said: "It's just that Liu Jian has deep opinions on me. I'm afraid it won't be easy to reach a reconciliation with him?"
Cao Cao said: "Although Liu Jian is a hero, I remember that in the past, Yuan Shiji gave him seven daughters, and he accepted them with gratitude, and later took the most beautiful among them as his concubine. This shows that this man is a lustful person. Perhaps we can learn from this aspect
Take action."
Yuan Shaoqi said: "Liu Jian is lustful? I never noticed it when I was in Luoyang."
Cao Cao laughed loudly after hearing this.
"The women Liu Jian likes are different from ordinary people. It's not just about the good color that can seduce Liu Jian's heart. Cao has to carefully select the kind of woman he wants to send."
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao blankly.
"Is it possible...that Liu Jian has the same vision as you?"
