On February 12, the second year of Chuping, General Yuan Shu got up at Mao Shih. He first washed himself in his mansion, then called his servants to trim his beard carefully, and then put on a crimson suit that had been baked with incense overnight.
He wears a long robe, a three-pillar crown on his head, and light-colored cypress clogs on his feet. Yuan Shu's appearance was originally majestic, but now he is dressed up, with a high crown and a broad belt, making him radiant.
When he walked out of the door, it was already Chen hour. All the staff outside the door were dressed in court uniforms and standing on both sides. When Yuan Shu saw his subordinates, Zhongshi Yiguan, at the front, he smiled and asked him: "Chang Shi, how do I see him now?"
Shi Yiguan paid homage and said: "The grace is like jade, the virtue is better than gold, just like the sage who controls the wind!" Yuan Shu laughed when he heard this. Even though he was as proud as him, he couldn't help but refuse: "It's too much.".<
/p>
He was so dressed up today because he was going out to meet Qiao Mao at the revolving door gate to show his respect for Qiao Mao. To this end, he also prepared a pulley and mounted a cart, which was equipped with bundles of silk, black silk, and pulls.
The horses were four snow-yueji without mottled colors, which was the highest treatment given to scholars. Yuan Shu was often criticized both inside and outside the court for his inability to communicate with scholars. He knew this well, so he planned to keep them away from each other.
Opportunity to show your capacity to accommodate others.
After arriving at the revolving gate, Yuan Shu stood in front of the gate and looked toward the east of the gate from time to time.
Unexpectedly, a messenger suddenly came from the south first. The messenger was wearing a shabby winter coat and riding a one-eyed yellow gelding. He came after a long journey. Yuan Shu was very happy to see him and asked him instead of asking about his military situation.
He had not eaten yet, and then he took out his own shortbread to let him eat for a while, then smiled at him and said: "Have the reinforcements sent by Liu Jingsheng arrived? You asked them to wait, I greeted Qiao Yuanwei, and then went back to entertain them
."
After hearing this, the envoy became even more dissatisfied. He stopped talking for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "The troops sent by Liu Jingsheng have indeed set off." After a pause, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yuan Shu, and whispered: "It's just...
It's just that it's not reinforcements. Under the banner of generals of chariots and cavalry, they attacked Deng County. Then they heard that the Mian River was advancing westward. When they came down to report the time, they were attacking Shandu, and I'm afraid they have already captured it!"
Yuan Shu was furious. He broke willows with his hands, whipped the messenger with willow branches and said, "I'll say it again! What does Liu Jingsheng want?!"
The envoy bowed his head in pain and replied loudly: "Liu Biao ordered Kuai Yue to fight Yuan Shao's banner. Now he is leading his troops to attack Mianshui counties. Our army is outnumbered. I hope you will send reinforcements early!"
His voice was like a bell, and all the staff around him heard it, and they couldn't help but start talking. When Yuan Shu heard this buzzing sound like flies, his mind was filled with confusion. He was so angry that he threw the willow branch to the ground and angrily yelled at everyone:
:"Silence!"
The surroundings suddenly became clear again. Yuan Shu's face was as gloomy as water. He took a long time to say: "This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Liu Biao has only been in charge of Jingzhou for half a year, what kind of combat power can he have? Nanyang will not be lost in one day. Wait until I receive Mr. Qiaofu.
, worry about this matter again."
Even so, Yuan Shu no longer had the same mentality as before. He asked Cang Tou to bring a bed, and he sat down in the willow shade, closed his eyes to rest, and tapped his knuckles. He waited for more than an hour.
, he finally waited for the messenger who went to Chenliu to communicate with Qiao Mao.
He was quite impatient and immediately asked as soon as they met: "How long until Qiao Yuanwei arrives?"
The messenger was silent for a moment, obviously considering his words. When Yuan Shu saw this, he immediately had a premonition. He laughed angrily, stood up and said, "Could it be that Qiao Yuanwei also deceived me and planned to regret it later?"
The envoy shook his head at first, and then said slowly: "When Mr. Qiaofu returned to the city the day before yesterday, he was surrounded by Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. Liu Dai, the governor of Qiaofu, had his head displayed to the public in the name of Mr. Qiaofu's corruption of military supplies!"
"Is that all?"
"I also heard that General Chariot and Cavalry sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Yingchuan. But from my perspective, the more than 100,000 is a false number, but it must not be less than 30,000." After speaking, the envoy said.
He kowtowed heavily and knelt on the ground motionless.
After hearing this, Yuan Shu was very calm. He slowly lowered his head and sat back on the bed, staring straight ahead. After a long time, he said one sentence: "Yuan Benchu! What a thief!"
Suddenly black, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
I don't know how long it took, but he seemed to be floating in the endless darkness. But something guided him to keep moving forward, so he kept moving forward. Suddenly, in the far distance, he saw a faint light.
When Yuan Shu saw a little light, he swam towards it. The light gradually enlarged, bright and soft. Just when Yuan Shu thought there was still a long way to go, the light burst out suddenly, like a gust of wind that washed away all the darkness, blowing him away from the water and helping him.
In the mid-air, below him, there was a hazy light and shadow.
The first half of his life flashed between this light and shadow.
During his childhood, the Yuan family had two brothers who attracted much attention. It was he and his elder brother Yuan Ji, who were both the direct sons of Sikong Yuan Feng. At this time, his uncle Yuan An had no children, and his uncle Yuan Wei and his sons were incompetent. At this time, the whole world
Everyone knows that only his two brothers can inherit the Yuan family, lead the noble clan, and achieve the feat of overthrowing Changshi.
The scene changed, and when he was a teenager, the situation suddenly changed. His uncle Yuan An passed away, and his brother Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine, was adopted into his uncle's name due to his mother's early death, and became the legitimate son alongside him. During his lifetime, his uncle was Zuo Zhong.
General Lang was highly valued by Emperor Huan and was originally the source of family prestige. Now his soul has returned to Jiuquan, and Yuan Shao, as the nominal legitimate son of Yuan An, has suddenly become the favorite of the whole family. The scholars and disciples who used to gather around Yuan Shu are now
Everyone gathered around Yuan Shao. And Yuan Shao lived up to expectations. He became a Langguan when he was more than ten years old. From top to bottom, everyone praised him, saying that he could be the second among Li Ying and he would be a model for the world in the future.
In the blink of an eye, he is now a young man. Yuan Shao has been a nurse for six years. He has taken in guests, the hall is full of dead men, and thousands of people are vying to go to his court. They have also supplied firewood and filled the streets. Yuan Shao has been able to make a name for himself in the world. Although he became an official early.
, for Xiaolian, he served successively as Henan Yin and Huben Zhonglang General, but you can still hear rumors. For example, Xu Shao and Xu Jing brothers, who held the Moon Festival Review, once said about Yuan Shudao: "The gate of Yuan Highway is high and the road is far. If you are expensive and can get down, there are people who can get down."
Zhong Yuan's style." When commenting on Yuan Shao, he said: "Yuan Benchu's heroic weapon, among the people, is like holding up the flames to burn the feathers, and it is obviously prosperous." After two comments, it is obvious that he has contempt for Yuan Shu. Even his uncle Yuan Wei
He also believed that many of the plans to kill the eunuchs were all made by Yuan Shao, so that he was reduced to a thug.

Since taking the lead in escaping from Luoyang, he captured Jing and Yu and recruited Sun Jian. When Yuan Shao suffered a series of defeats, he followed Chen Chong's plan to regain Luoyang and invaded Hongnong. He was about to destroy Dong Zhuo and achieve immortality.
At that time, Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Yuzhou and joined forces with Liu Biaoyin to attack Nanyang. His foundation was about to be lost. How should he make a decision?
Recalling this, he took a slight breath and opened his eyelids. The first thing that appeared in front of him was the face of his eldest son Yuan Yao. He was holding his hand and looking at him nervously. Seeing that he was awake,
Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Yuan Shu's current situation. Yuan Shu waved his hand slightly and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is this?"
Yuan Yao answered his father: "This is still at the Xuanmen Pass. Mr. Shu brought you up on his back. My second sister was boiling medicine for you and she brought it over right away."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he looked at his eldest son's still slightly immature face and felt a little warm in his heart. In any case, the children in his family were all friendly and the family was happy. But when he saw the bright clouds outside the window, he realized that he had actually fallen asleep because of it.
After a while, another burst of anger burned. He stood up from the couch and said to Yuan Yao: "Go and call all the uncles who are accompanying you to the room. It is an urgent matter now. If you are delayed, the dishes will be full."
Everyone loses, go quickly!"
After Yuan Yao left, Yuan Shu closed his eyes and rested for a while. He heard the movement of people in the room. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Yuan Yao and Yan Xiang, Shi Yiguan, Shu Shao, Han Yin and Hui behind him.
Qu five people.
It was dusk now, the light in the room was a little dark, and it was quiet outside. You could only hear the boiling sound of the daughter next door making medicine. Yuan Shu stretched out his left hand towards Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao held his father's palm in his palm. The remaining warmth in his palm made him
Somewhat peace of mind.
Yuan Shu first asked Yan Xiang: "Is there any news while I'm sleeping?"
Yan Xiang replied honestly: "Guan Xiaowei on the South Road sent a good news that he had captured Shangluo and was marching to Lantian County."
Yuan Shu shook his head when he heard this and said calmly: "If Nanyang is completely lost and he captures Chang'an, what does it have to do with me?"
He turned to Hui Qu and asked: "De Yu, now that I am surrounded by enemies in the southeast and southeast, what do you think we should do?"
Hui Qu was silent for a moment and said: "In my opinion, General Polu should be ordered to withdraw his troops and return reinforcements."
Yuan Shu closed his eyes and asked softly: "Three days ago, Wentai sent a letter saying that he will fight Dong Zhuo soon. Once he succeeds, Guanzhong will be at peace, and the emperor will be in my hands. According to you, I can't
Do you want to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu and enter the Pass?"
Hui Qu replied: "Dong Zhuoshi's famous general, in a battle with him, the outcome is really unpredictable, so you can't say it is inevitable. What's more, even if General Polu wins, the people's livelihood in Guanzhong will be ruined after this battle, and there is Liu Yan in the south.
"There are Liang bandits in the west and Liu and Chen in the north. How can they be pacified by the imperial court's orders?"
"Nowadays, the counties in Guanzhong are not as prosperous as the county in Nanyang, and Yuzhou is thousands of miles of fertile land. The Central Plains has been used for military purposes in ancient times. How can we abandon the fertile land and choose poor soil? The top priority is to send you back to Wancheng first. Henan is all red and there is no land.
The emperor is just a hindrance, so we should repel Liu Biao first, and then send Sun Polu to repel the bandit army!"
After Hui Qu finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Yuan Shu closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was asleep. However, Yuan Yao clearly felt his father's hand clenching in his hand and struggling, obviously in extreme pain. When his daughter Yuan Jiejun waited
After getting started with Duan Yao, Yuan Shu finally opened his eyes. He said numbly to Shi Yiguan: "Let's draft a military order and ask Sun Wentai to withdraw his troops."
At this time, Han Yin was worried and said: "Sun Jian has always had no superiority, and Chen Chong is by his side. If he is unwilling to withdraw his troops, what should we do?"
Yuan Shu shook his head and said: "I have my own arrangements and will definitely let his army return eastward."
