"So, Dong Zhuo succeeded in abolishing the throne in three days?"
In Changshan Zhending, Jizhou, it was raining heavily. In the official temple in the city, Gongsun Xun was talking with a visitor.
"Exactly." In the hot and humid summer, the visitor was sweating profusely, but his sweat today seemed to be not only due to the weather. "On May 28th, he led troops to escort the emperor into the court. At that time, he was still in public
The emperor and King Chenliu were handed over to the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei honestly. Everyone felt that he was worthy of being the pillar of the country... But on the 30th, after he was worshiped as Sikong, he proposed to abolish the emperor in the Xianyangyuan barracks.
Li, Yuan Benchu refuted it on the spot, but he directly drew his sword and threatened him. When the first court meeting in early June..."
"What about the court meeting on the first day of June?" Gongsun Xun's face remained as usual and he continued to ask curiously.
"At the first court meeting in early June, he led the soldiers to the court, openly proposed to abolish the establishment, and directly told everyone that he would maintain the court's order by military law. As a result, only Duke Lu stood up to protest, but he was regarded as a prince.
I just kicked him out to save my face." The man continued to sweat non-stop.
"Where is Master Lu?"
“I went to Hanoi at that time, but I don’t know where I went later.”
"How did Master Yuan react?"
"Like a puppet, he responded directly." This man rarely sighed. "He was also responsible for the ceremony of abolishing Li Li on the second day. Not only that, Dong Zhuo also ordered that day that no more eunuchs were allowed to be added, and the officials were asked to send the children of the family to the
In the palace, I serve as a Langguan..."
"..."
"On the third day of the sixth lunar month, just after the deposed Li was successfully abolished, Dong Zhuo directly ordered the murder of Queen Mother He, exhumed He Miao's body and whipped her body, and even the Queen Mother He's mother, Wuyang Jun, was also killed... Only the family of General He, because of Jun
Hou took care of it and was captured by Wen Chao's troops from Dong Zhuo's subordinates, but Dong Zhuo did not get angry or stop him."
Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his head and stared at the visitor: "Wen Chao... what do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty... There are rumors in Luozhong that Dong Zhongying is confident this time because he and you reached an alliance when he was in Guanzhong." This person looked at Gongsun Xun and said sincerely. "And this word is quite popular."
"Is it because the Northern Army surrendered to him? And the Northern Army and I have always been on good terms?" Gongsun Xun snorted coldly. "If it comes to this, Dong Zhuo is still a subordinate of Taifu Yuan. Does today's incident all have to be blamed on Yuan?
On your head?"
"That's true." This person was also embarrassed for a moment.
"Those people in Luozhong are just worried that I will be won over by Dong Zhuo. Then it will be really difficult to control me, right?"
"Probably...but I didn't say it clearly. After all, it happened suddenly. However, Yuan Benchu was frightened in Xianyang Garden that day. When he came out and saw Bao Xin, he bluntly said that he saw Lu Bu standing behind Dong Zhuo. It was true.
He thought that the prince and Liu Yizhou had joined forces with Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo would have no fear. It was not until Gongsun Wenchao led the prince's followers to kidnap the family members of General He that he fled directly to Hanoi, and several of Liu Yizhou's sons also
Explanations were given one after another, and everyone just woke up... In short, the matter was too urgent, everyone was at a loss what to do, and everything was in a mess."
"Where is Yuan Benchu now?"
“In Hanoi.”
"Why Hanoi too?" Gongsun Xun was rarely startled.
"Of course it's Hanoi." The visitor wiped the sweat from his head and spread his hands. "Everyone is in Hanoi. After the dethronement, and because the Queen Mother He was murdered by poison, Wang Kuang, the former general of the general, probably reacted.
So he also led hundreds of confidants to Hanoi; Zhang Yang even recruited troops from Bingzhou and came back to Shangdang. When he heard that the general and Zhijin Wu Dingyuan were killed, he simply stopped and raised a banner to challenge Dong, and also marched to Hanoi.
Within the territory, as a gesture."
Only then did Gongsun Xun realize... He was indeed confused. In a hurry, the nearest place from Luoyang was Hanoi, and it was isolated by the Yellow River. It was naturally protected from large-scale troops and was safe enough. Besides, Hebei belongs to
Sili, if people with ideas go there, it still does not mean they are leaving the center.
In fact, Zhang Rang kidnapped the emperor and ran to Hanoi, and even Gongsun Xun himself stayed in Hanoi that day, all with the same intention.
The key this time was that Dong Zhuo was too weird and too fast. He established the emperor in three days and killed the queen mother in five days. No one had a backup plan, so they had no choice but to go to Hanoi before they could react.
"Your Majesty!" The visitor saw Gongsun Xun pondering for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask one more question. "There has been a sudden change in Luozhong, what do you want to do?"
"I also want to ask you." Gongsun Xun asked in turn. "Dong Zhuo easily deposed Li. What do you people think...Tell me the truth, do you care about deposing Li?"
"How can you not care? After all, it is a matter of abolishing the establishment." The man continued to wipe his sweat.
"Do you want to write a few words before answering?" Gongsun Xun asked jokingly upon seeing this.
"No need." This person was Zhong Yao, the Huangmen servant. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sit upright. "I asked myself a lot about this kind of thing before I came here, and I already had an idea..."
"But you have to tell me the truth." Gongsun Xun sneered.
"Here." Zhong Yao leaned over and responded, and then he spoke seriously. "I think if I put myself in Dong Zhuo's shoes, how could he, a military general on the side, take control of the government and dominate the world in one fell swoop if he hadn't successfully deposed him?
Where does the authority lie? When I came, he had already issued an order to General Huangfu of Guanzhong to hand over his military power. He also asked people to go to Liangzhou to recruit Han Sui and Ma Teng, and also asked Yin Gaiyuangu of Jingzhao to enter Luo... These few things,
I think it will definitely work. When the time comes, he will have a strong army and Yongliang will be in control. Isn't it because the emperor is in hand?"
Gongsun Xun slowly nodded: "I'm convinced too... If it were me, I really wouldn't have the courage."
"But this is a matter of abolishing the establishment after all. Who can be convinced that he is a warrior and does such a thing?" Zhong Yaofu sighed again. "Not to mention, when he abolished the establishment, he actually led troops into the palace to regulate the court by military law.
, and after deposing the throne, he actually poisoned the Queen Mother and whipped He Miao to death... Even if the He family needed to be eliminated, Wuyang Jun was already an old woman with the loss of her children, so how could he kill him?!
So I thought that with these two alone, he would not be able to achieve anything!"
"That's good." Gongsun Xun nodded in approval. "To put it bluntly... the princes in the court hate him, partly because the deposed thing itself is too shocking, and he is a warrior.
, broke the rules; three points is because his martial style is overbearing and he kills indiscriminately; another three points is because he comes from a humble background, and everyone in the court is naturally unwilling to conspire with him... The last point is that in fact, some people may not really
He cares about these things, but because of the first nine points he knows that he cannot achieve anything, so he is alienated from virtue."
Zhong Yao was speechless.
There was a moment of silence, and suddenly a fat orange beast that resembled a tiger cub walked out from behind Gongsun Xun, then ignored the two people sitting there and came to the corridor in front of the hall, staring at the falling thing above.
The waterline watched curiously.
Qu Yuanchang naturally knew that this was a cat. It was rare in the early years, but in recent years it has become quite common in the houses of high-ranking officials. It seems that it became popular because of the General Wei in front of him.
"Let me ask you something again." After staring at the fat cat's ass for a while, Gongsun Xun suddenly asked seriously again. "Yuan Chang, do you think that me being in Beidi, in Luozhong, has shocked the situation, or has it?
Stirred up the situation?"
Zhong Yao remained silent.
"I understand." Gongsun Xun sighed, then turned around and spoke softly to the back of the hall. "Sir, it seems that you are right this time."
"I'm not right." An older female voice suddenly sounded from behind, followed by dozens of maids pouring into the hall holding candles, followed by an older woman dressed in luxurious clothes.
Surrounded by the beautiful maids, she emerged from behind. "It's more that all tangible and intangible things in this world must be governed by rules and principles..."
When Zhong Yao heard the word "Sir", he didn't know who it was, so he quickly bent down to salute, and the lady, who was Gongsun Auntie, also stepped forward to look at Zhong Yao with great interest.
However, when Gongsun Xun arrived next to him, he still looked a little helpless: "I thought that with me here, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo would be able to restrain themselves."
Aunt Gongsun laughed again when she heard this: "You think you are invincible and powerful enough to intimidate the court, but you don't expect that the Han Dynasty has been abandoned, the people in the world have long been in dire straits, and the people's hearts have long been weeded. As for Luoyang, where is it?
The flash point of the conflict in the entire Han Dynasty, this turmoil was not because of He Jin's negligence, nor because of Yuan Shao's boldness, nor because Dong Zhuo happened to lead his troops outside the city... but because the common people in the world had no food to eat.
, powerful people cannot be promoted to official positions, and public officials are as corrupt as eunuchs. And the existence of border army leaders like you, for the central government, will only intensify conflicts at most, but will not alleviate them. In fact, you have known this truth for a long time,
It’s just that I still don’t understand the relationship between chance and necessity.”
Gongsun Xun slowly nodded, then suddenly raised his sword and stood up solemnly: "What my mother said is absolutely true. Since I came out of Liaoxi, I have seen many people who are mediocre and greedy for life and afraid of death, but they are also never afraid of success or failure.
There are heroes who are not afraid of death. Among the Yellow Turbans, there are some who are not afraid of death. There are also powerful village officials who are not afraid of death. There are also some generals who are not afraid of death... The world is chaotic. Some of these heroes are for fame, some are for profit, some are for loyalty, and some are for righteousness.
Some people do it for strength, some do it for hope, some do it to conquer the world, and some do it to stabilize the place. No matter what, everyone has their own pursuits. How could they not do what they want to do just because I am better than them?
If this is the case, what qualifications do they have to call themselves heroes? If they really have ambitions, they will only try to catch up because they see me standing in front of them, that's all."
"Well said." Aunt Gongsun was stunned for a moment at her son, but nodded again. "If you want these heroes to bow their heads because you are powerful, unless they all become idiots overnight. Not to mention Liu Bei
, how Zhuge Liang and those people bucked the trend, that is, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, who didn't buck the trend at the beginning and use the weak to the strong... So, there are some things I can help you, but there are some things you can only do by yourself
Do it, I can't help you."
Zhong Yao was confused for a moment...because he didn't understand half of what the mother and son were saying.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Aunt Gongsun suddenly turned to Zhong Yao again. "Are you Qian Yuanchang?"
"Yes!" Zhong Yao, who was sweating profusely, leaned over and bowed down again. "Yingchuan Zhong Yao, I'd like to pay my respects to the old lady. I never thought that the old lady would be here."
"Yuan Chang, there is no need to panic." Gongsun Xun walked out, holding the knife and smiling. "My mother likes your calligraphy very much. This time she came to collect the prisoners for me. She was going back to Changping yesterday... just because
When I heard you were coming, I stayed here to prepare to meet you."
Zhong Yao breathed a rare sigh of relief.
On the other side, Aunt Gongsun had already asked a beautiful maid behind her to come forward to help Zhong Yao up, and with a smile, asked someone to put pens, inks, paper and inkstones on her hands: "Since I have seen Qian Yuanchang, I must ask for a pair of calligraphy... to replace him."
Let me copy a copy of the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra!"
"..."
Gongsun Xun ignored what was going on here. He came to the door and kicked the increasingly fat old cat into the puddle outside the corridor. Then he walked out of the lobby with the knife and walked along the corridor.
, and went to a wing somewhere near the inner hall of the official temple.
In this spacious wing, it was dark because of the rain, so candles were lit early. Under the candles, several people dressed as scribes were discussing something heatedly. When they saw Gongsun Xun walking in, they all stood up one after another.
greeting.
"How?" Gongsun Xun didn't care and sat directly on a chair in the room. "Have you guys come up with the result of the discussion?"
"There are a lot of discussions, but no results can be achieved." Lou Gui, who has the longest seniority here, couldn't help but laugh while twisting his beard. "Don't talk about what happened later. Everyone has differences about the post of General of Chariots and Cavalry brought by Zhong Yuanchang.
...After all, although it was used by Dong Zhuo to win over the princes, it inevitably made him suspected of colluding with Dong Zhuo; but the chariot and cavalry generals were ranked higher than the three princes, and for this dynasty, it has always been the custom to govern the government.
With it, you might be able to appoint and remove officials on your own, so everyone is reluctant to part with it."
"Then don't discuss it." Gongsun Xun sat on the chair and said seriously. "I have made up my mind."
From Lou Gui down, people in the room such as Xi Zhong, Dong Zhao, Du Ji and Wang Xiu all got up one after another.
"Dong Zhuo was a minister of the Han Dynasty, but he arbitrarily abolished the establishment and poisoned the Queen Mother. Which one is intolerable? I, Gongsun Xun, wholeheartedly want to restore peace to the world. How can I tolerate Dong Zhuo, who is called a Han minister but is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty?
"Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Besides, I already have the legitimate position of General Wei, and I am ordered to supervise the soldiers and horses of nine local counties. Why should I use such a traitorous title again?!"
"My subordinates understand." Lou Gui and others responded immediately.
"And it's not just that." Gongsun Xun continued. "Dong Zhuo is really a weird person. Since he dared to depose the emperor in three days and kill the queen mother in five or six days, he might have started massacring the officials and the people at this time.
Moved the capital to Guanzhong in two months, and killed the abdicated King Hongnong in three months... I underestimated the enemy before. After knowing that the general was dead, I thought there would be a few months of buffer time, and instead of gathering troops, I came to Changshan with light troops to try to drive him out.
Zhang Yan left Montenegro and was caught off guard now... In short, we must prepare as soon as possible."
"You don't have to blame yourself." Lou Gui tried his best to persuade. "The Taihang Mountains are thousands of miles north and south, stretching from Daijun to Hanoi, overlooking Youji, and from Zhang Yan to Yu Du, there are dozens of bandits, large and small, gathering millions
The crowd is condescending, and from a military point of view, it must be cut off at all costs... Of course, if there is a sudden heavy rain, there is nothing we can do."
The short and fat Dong Zhao, the current captain of Changshan, who was lowering his head, raised his head, but did not see any extra expression on Gongsun Xun's face, so he immediately lowered his head again.
"That's not right." Gongsun Xun leaned on the back of his chair to take some time to speak. "There are urgent matters. I originally planned to drive from north to south, just like chopping firewood, to clear out millions of bandits in the Taihang Mountains. In this way, we can obtain the natural dangers of Taihang and master the code of things along the way.
County, Changshan, Zhao State, Wei County, Hanoi, directly to Dahe; secondly, you can collect millions of bandits as household registrations and add military garrison to strengthen your strength; thirdly, you can also take the opportunity to approach Luoyang... But Dong Zhuo is too fast
! Those who are too fast will not be able to breathe! It is conceivable that in the next few months, Dong Zhuo will brave the disapproval of the world and disrupt the government, while the people of the world will either be at a loss or rise up to resist. At this moment
If you have great righteousness in hand, you can climb high and shout, you can win people's hearts by running horses and delivering messages, and defeat an army of more than 100,000 people. Therefore, the most important thing at this time is to gather the lofty ideals of the alliance and raise the banner of righteousness to challenge Dong!
The Taihang Bandits matter can be slowed down for a while."
Lou Gui nodded slowly and kept silent. Wang Xiu also closed his sleeves and remained silent.
On the other hand, the eyes of the other people became erratic... You must know that Gongsun Xun's words clearly determined that Dong Zhuo would destroy himself, and the people of the world would no longer obey Luoyang. Otherwise, how could he be able to pull directly from a high place with a single shout?
Territory?
However, even these people still felt a little guilty at this time, because Luoyang Dong... Dong Taiwei... seemed to be very promising in terms of pure political means.
One more thing must be said here: Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying are now Taiwei! Moreover, he did not follow the rules when he entered the court, nor did he pay homage to his name, but returned his sword and walked up to the palace.
That’s right, Taiwei Dong was not only deposed very quickly, but also killed the Queen Mother very quickly, and was promoted very quickly! Moreover, Taiwei Dong was not only promoted to his own official, but everyone else’s officials were promoted very quickly!
In fact, just after Dong Zhuo killed the Queen Mother He and liquidated the He family, he immediately implemented his "New Deal". Specifically, he tried to reconcile with everyone, and then everyone worked together to revive the Han Dynasty... You read that right
, Dong Zhuo, including some of Dong Zhuo's close aides, all had political ideals, and this group of people really believed that everyone would accept his unexpected abolition and then unite with him to build peace.
At this moment, he really never thought that his abolition would lead to a full-scale siege, and he really thought that his goodwill could lead to reconciliation.
For example, this time Zhong Yao came here to promote Gongsun Xun and Liu Yu. Liu Yu, a recognized auxiliary minister of the Han Dynasty clan, had the new official position of Grand Sima, and Gongsun Xun, the general of the Wei... originally, what
Aren’t you going to give it to the Cavalry General? Well, let’s just give it to you, the Cavalry General.
Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others who escaped were also granted official positions. Bao Xin was the prime minister of Jibei, Yuan Shao was the governor of Bohai, Wang Kuang was worshiped as the governor of Hanoi, and Zhu Jun of Hanoi was conscripted into the court.
As a servant.
Those who did not escape, Yuan Wei's own Taifu could not be promoted, but Yuan Shu was worshiped as the Queen General, Yuan Ji was worshiped as Taichang, Wang Yun became the minister, Yang Biao became the Sikong, and Han Fu, the imperial censor, became Jizhou.
Mu, Cao Cao was worshiped as Xiaoqi Xiaowei.
There are also celebrities in the opposition who are even more outrageous. For example, Xun Shuang was worshiped as Pingyuan Prime Minister at first, but before he had gone halfway, he became Guang Luxun. And Cai Yong, the old boy was worshiped at first
Like Xun Shuang, he did not want to accept the call, but just like Xun Shuang, their families were all near Luoyang (the Cai family was in Chenliu and the Xun family was in Yingchuan). After the envoy threatened him, he went away crying.
There are countless such things.
And what Gongsun Xun's counselors are worried about is actually here... What they are afraid of is that if everyone like Cai Yong and Xun Shuang accepts Dong Zhuo's "cooperation invitation" due to various reasons, then Gongsun Xun
What is this 'climbing high and shouting'?
At that time, wouldn't it mean that he would initiate a rebellion and lose all people's hearts? Will he end up with the same ending as Han Sui?
Oh, no, at this time Taiwei Dong had also sent a signal of reconciliation to Han Wenyue and Ma Shoucheng, Liangzhou was about to recruit people! And it can be imagined that these two people must be the most willing to cooperate with Taiwei Dong.
However, Gongsun Xun came up and said that I have made up my mind, which made it difficult for everyone to speak... As a counselor, if the general doesn't listen, it's useless to say it. It may only shake the morale of the army. Besides, Zhong Yao privately
No one knows what he said to Gongsun Xun!
Correspondingly, in fact, Gongsun Xun just guessed that they would have this concern, so he came up and sat there with a golden sword and said, "I have made up my mind"!
Of course we must decide! We must decide at this time!
Because Gongsun Xun had just thought clearly from the inside out. Just as Dong Zhuo would not take Gongsun Xun into consideration and "do things for the world" without authorization, these people would not really cooperate with Dong Zhuo because of his tyranny...
Among these people, the scholars without knives would pretend to surrender; the scholars with knives would pull out their knives to show Dong Zhuo; as for Ma Teng and Han Sui, it was even more ridiculous. They reconciled, recruited, and handed over their territory.
ah?!
All in all, for these heroes, the official seal sent by Dong Zhuo, most of them who really lacked the strength, would take it with a smile, and then use the official seal to encircle the territory, recruit troops, strengthen their strength, and then compete with Dong Zhuo
Knife. And those who already had enough strength and fame, such as Gongsun Xun and Yuan Shao, simply didn't care at all... In fact, if I guessed correctly, Yuan Shao must have made up his mind at this time and was ready to ascend to the throne!
Even, according to some credible facts told by Aunt Gongsun, a hero like Cao Cao would simply abandon his official position and return home to raise an army... How could anyone cooperate with Dong Zhuo?
So back to Gongsun Xun, let’s not talk about why people in the world cooperate with Dong Zhuo. I will just talk about one thing. What reason does Gongsun Xun himself have to cooperate with Dong Zhuo?
Let’s not talk about ambitions, people from border counties, people from the mainland, not to mention warriors, scholars, or even the 400-year-old authority of the Han Dynasty and the unauthorized abolition of the establishment... Just one thing, his Gongsun
Why would Xun cooperate with a man who killed an old woman to establish his authority?
Even if the political struggle requires the cleanup of the He family, is there anything wrong with He Jin's mother?
No matter how decisive, tyrannical, or even politically ideal a person like this is, how could he possibly succeed?
Therefore, Gongsun Xun's current thinking is very simple. Conquering Dong is the overall situation and is irreversible... Yuan Shao is in Hanoi, next to Luoyang, and close to Guandong. He is closer and faster, so Gongsun Xun must also raise his banner as soon as possible.
Come on! Otherwise, when Dong Zhuo makes some tricks and stimulates Yuan Shao to directly raise troops, he, the general of Wei, will be embarrassed.
"It's just a prince..." Du Ji hesitated for a moment, and finally intervened to ask a technical question. "Since you refused the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry, under what name can we summon the patriots? General Wei has never had support in this dynasty.
The tradition of Chaozuna."
"Isn't there a Great Sima?" Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "I am not entitled to the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry. Can Liu Bo'an accept the title of Great Sima, and then let him be a Great Sima who is as high as or even higher than the Third Duke?
Let’s organize an alliance.”
Du Ji immediately shut up and said nothing.
"Does the Lord mean to let Liu Yu be the leader of this alliance?" Dong Zhao, the owner of the official temple, suddenly spoke.
"Of course I will do it." Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "He is just the initiator."
Dong Zhao: "..."
"Is there anything else you want to add?" Gongsun Xun asked, looking around.
"Oh." Seeing that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, Wang Xiu also hurriedly spoke. "Please tell me where and when the alliance will be held. We will be well prepared."
"Beiyue Changshan is right in front of you, why bother to change it to another place? In the name of Grand Sima Liu Gong, a call was sent out from Youzhou to Jizhou, from Zhao Gong who was still in Liaoxi, to Shen Zhengnan in Zhao State, all of them were sent out.
They will come here within a month to form an alliance, and ask Zi Heng and De Mou to come." Gongsun Xun was still prepared. "I want to tell everyone in the world that it was Grand Sima Liu Gong and General Wei Gongsun Xun who first raised the banner of righteousness.
Alliance to challenge Dong!"
"Your Majesty, it's raining right now." Wang Xiu was really helpless. "It has been raining for months, and it should have spread all over Hebei. Even the expedition against the Black Mountain bandits was suddenly suspended because of this heavy rain. With such weather, some people will not be able to make it in time, and some may not.
Is it too late?"
"It's too late, it's too late, but we can't wait any longer." Gongsun Xun stood up and held the knife outward, sighing quietly. "Neither Yuan Benchu nor Dong Zhongying will let me wait!"
"May I ask your lord, in what name will we ask Dong Dong in one month's time?" Seeing his lord step out of the door, Xi Zhong suddenly remembered an extremely important thing. "It is to reestablish the old king Hong Hong.
Farmer King Liu Bian?"
"On the side of the Qing Dynasty, Jingguo is in trouble... Why do we need King Hongnong?!" As he said this, Gongsun Xun's footsteps disappeared into the sound of the pouring rain outside the door. Only his voice was loud and still echoed in the corridor. "Anyway, we just want to let him go."
The people of the world know that when the country is in trouble and the center collapses, there are still righteous men in Hebei who do not want to betray the people of the world! That’s all!”
——————I am the dividing line between difficult journeys——————
"Since Dong Zhuo was deposed, he recruited famous people to appease the heroes. He used the famous ministers of Liu Yu's clan and the words of assisting the government, so he sent envoys to worship him as Grand Sima. He used Taizu Shenwu to oversee the nine counties in the north, and sent envoys to worship him as Charioteer.
General, I want both of them to take care of the affairs of the world. When the edict came, Taizu was cruel and cruel, and he was willing to abolish and establish, so he refused. However, Yu Xian did not dare to resign. Later, he heard that Taizu refused and reprimanded him, and he did not dare to show his seal to him.
"Left and right. People of the time laughed at it." - "Jiu Yan Shu". Volume 62. Biography No. 12
PS: Let me add some historical knowledge to everyone. Historically, Yuan Shao's Bohai Governor was given by Dong Zhuo casually, which was much lower than Yuan Shu's General and Yuan Ji's Tai Chang. He himself had never used it and had never been appointed.
Before Jizhou, he had been wandering around places like Hanoi, Chenliu, and Dongjun, organizing alliances, and the official seal he used was that of a chariot general second only to the general... He carved it himself, but most of them in Hebei and the Central Plains
All the officials recognized it!
In the game, a certain script has him appear in Bohai... purely to adapt to the game mechanism... With Yuan Shao's reputation, he can seize a state with a single call from high up, and he can easily support his younger brother Cao Cao to become the prefect of Dongjun, and he can fight vigorously.
