Chapter Nine hundred and ninety second: Disagreement
Just like Chen Gong began to doubt his own worth, Cheng Yu also began to doubt whether he was right or wrong after looking at the reported information. However, unlike Chen Gong who had begun to waver, although Cheng Yu had doubts, he did not waver.
"From today on, your food and grass will be provided by us." Cheng Yu said looking at Hu Zhao and Yuan Tanjun in front of him.
"From now on, I'll have to help Mr. Cheng." The senior official bowed and said to Cheng Yu, "From now on, the three of us will work together to watch each other and guard the north together."
After Yuan Tan's series of actions, Gao Gan was completely disappointed with Yuan Tan. If Yuan Tan was willing to sincerely tell his purpose, Gao Gan would not be angry at all and would still calmly hand over his power.
What really disappointed Gao Gan was that Yuan Tan didn't say anything and just relied on a series of obvious means to strip him of everything. Now that he had lost most of Bingzhou, his so-called title of governor was in name only.
Yuan Shao's recognition of his ability and loyalty has been lost in name only under the hands of his dear brother. He really doesn't know how to face Yuan Tan. Is it so difficult to say hello, even with a single advance notice?
Can he really plunder the inheritance that his uncle left to his son? Not to mention whether he has the ability or not, he has always enjoyed Yuan Shao Fuze, and he has no confidence to do such a thing. For him, assisting his cousin
Successfully taking over his uncle's business and prospering the Yuan family again is the most appropriate way.
It's a pity that Yuan Tan didn't even have the guts to inform him, and even asked Chun Yuqiong and Jiang Yiqu to be prepared to guard against him, for fear that he would not be willing to hand over the power of Bingzhou. At that time, the senior officials only felt one thing, that is, tiredness.
Once you sit in that position, will you become strangers to your former relatives and treat your former relatives the same way you treat your enemies?
While Gao Gan was thinking about all this, the delivery of Bingzhou had begun in an orderly manner. During the final delivery, Gao Gan did not disobey Yuan Tan's order. Although he was extremely disappointed, he still remembered Yuan Shao's earnest teachings.
In this situation, if there is still no unity, his uncle Yuan Shao's lineage may not be far away from disappearing.
But from then on, Gao Gan knew that he and Yuan Tan would never be able to return to the closeness they had when Yuan Shao was still alive. They would never be able to sit down and talk openly again. He needed to prepare a way out for himself.
Cheng Yu glanced at Gao Gan strangely, what did he mean by this, but before he could think about it, Gao Yuan patted Guo Yuan beside him, and Guo Yuan also understood and saluted Cheng Yu, "Mr. Cheng,
I wonder how my uncle Zhong Shangshu is doing these days?"
"Yuan Chang?" A look of realization flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes, and his expression hardly changed at all, "Yuan Chang has been dealing with the people's livelihood in Yongliang recently. He built water conservancy projects to support millions of people before, and he is deeply respected by our Lord."
Cheng Yu's words basically told Guo Yuan everything that needed to be told, and Guo Yuan couldn't help but lower his head, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
[It’s right to think about it. The senior cadres were treated like this by the Academy when Yuan Tan just took office. It would be strange if he didn’t feel resentful. If this is the case, we hardly need to take action in Bingzhou. As long as the senior cadres let go, we will slowly infiltrate
Under this, it is not a problem to smoothly accept and merge the state.] Cheng Yu slowly thought, [But this matter needs to wait for a while, and it cannot be done too obviously.]
Hu Zhao looked at the transaction between the two parties with an expressionless face. He was extremely clear about the meaning of these few sentences, but he did not say anything because he had already seen his apprentice, Sima Yi, who was signaling him with his eyes.
"Teacher, long time no see." Sima Yi smiled and bowed to Hu Zhao, who was both a teacher and a friend.
"It's not that long, Zhongda, how is your studies going?" Hu Zhao looked at Sima Yi with a smile in his eyes and asked.
"All it takes is practice." Sima Yi said calmly and confidently.
"I also feel that you are about to leave the army, but Zhongda, don't do anything that will embarrass your teacher?" Hu Zhao nodded, and then warned.
"Respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is our virtue." A gentle smile similar to Zhuge Liang's appeared on Sima Yi's face, but then it returned to his own cold and arrogant expression.
Hu Zhao glanced at Cheng Yu and Gao Gan, then looked at Sima Yi, "Don't make things difficult for me."
"I won't make things difficult for you. I know your ambition and no one will destroy it. Likewise, don't destroy our affairs." Sima Yi looked at Hu Zhao and said calmly.
Hu Zhao looked at Sima Yi, sighed, and finally compromised. He knew that his apprentice, or should I say friend, would not compromise with anyone on certain things, so he had to compromise.
Hu Zhao didn't say anything after that, and Sima Yi didn't ask about other things. From this moment on, he was truly a master. No one would tell him what to do in the future, and no one would point out anything when he was in trouble.
.
Cheng Yu said nothing more and handed over the grain and grass to Hu Zhao, and did not communicate with the senior officials Guo Yuan. Likewise, the senior officials and the others did not bother Cheng Yu. Everything was carried out here in an orderly manner.
When Cheng Yu looked back to the north in the cold wind, he suddenly saw Chen Gong, who had never appeared during this handover. As a once powerful teammate on his side, he now had to confront him.
[When I come back next time, everything here will have a destination, Gongtai. Even if you are willing to turn back, I will still ask you when I come back next time. I hope you can give a satisfactory answer.] Cheng Yu looked back.
When looking at the north, my heart felt extremely sad, but my eyes were extremely determined.
"Cheng Zhongde is gone!" Chen Gong stood at the top of the city and said silently.
"If you don't go see them off, can't they leave?" Hu Zhao said a rare joke, "There are some things we can't decide. If we take it lightly, maybe we can still be friends."
"If we have different ways, we can't conspire against each other!" Chen Gong said extremely forcefully.
"Different ways do not lead to the same goal. Gongtai, you are too small-minded. In fact, all dharma comes from the same origin, and different paths lead to the same destination." Hu Zhao said slowly, looking at Sima Yi who was walking away.
Does Sima Yi really have the same ideals as him? No, it should be said that they are completely opposite!
"Then I would rather take the wrong path!" Chen Gong said extremely calmly, "What's more, it's hard to know right from wrong now. It is said that different paths lead to the same destination, but only at the last moment, the person standing at the top can see such a scene.
.”
"..." Hu Zhao was silent. After all, Chen Gong was a top adviser. Even if he didn't tell the other party anything, even if the other party didn't participate in the handover, he still guessed part of Cheng Yu's thoughts.
