Chapter 1244 Yuan Benchu ??(as the leader of the alliance: garyhihiture 2/3)
Yuan Shao immediately opened the edict and read it.
This edict against thieves was written in a hurry by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and the content is not much different from the content of the edict on clothes and belts.
At the end, I added the words that national thieves oppressed and killed the imperial concubine, and finally ordered all the heroes in the world to attack Cao Cao together, and many of them were granted official positions.
For example, Liu Biao was granted the title of General of Guard, Liu Zhang was appointed as General of Chariots and Cavalry, Ma Teng was appointed as General of Hussars, Sun Ce was appointed as General of the Southern Conquest, etc.
Yuan Shao himself was a general, ranking above the three princes, and had no title. However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, perhaps because of Yuan Xi's sake, made Yuan Shao the Grand Sima.
Da Sima was appointed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Wei Qing as a special expression of honor and favor. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the title of Da Sima was revoked. Now Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty got excited and raised the title again.
Bai Xiaowen had no choice. He couldn't control what Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted to write in the edict. He was still in the stage of gaining the trust of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Of course, he couldn't just write anything in the edict like Cao Cao and let Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty turn it into a seal.
machine.
Bai Xiaowen's identity as Yuan Xi was also specially mentioned by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, saying that Yuan Xi had made great achievements in breaking Xudu, and he was specially promoted to the general of the Northern Expedition, and also the pastor of Yuzhou.
Here we will talk about the military positions in the Three Kingdoms plane.
The general is ranked above the three princes, and the following are naturally the three princes: Taiwei, Situ and Sikong.
Below the general are the hussar generals, the chariot generals and the guard generals, who are slightly lower than the three princes but slightly higher than the nine ministers; and further down are the four generals on the front, rear, left and right, whose positions are higher than the nine ministers.
The above three-level military positions can be regarded as "central military positions."
In addition, there are military positions of "four expeditions and four towns" and "four peace and four security", which can be regarded as "local military positions" and are theoretically lower than Jiuqing.
However, due to the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, chaos in the military system was inevitable. The generals of the Four Expeditions were often the commanders of a certain front army, and their importance and status were greatly improved. They were not comparable to the three ministers and nine ministers in the central government.
In the system of Four Expeditions, Four Towns, Four Peace and Four Ans, the military title with the word "Zheng" is the largest, followed by the word "Zhen", and so on.
Bai Xiaowen was named General of the Northern Campaign, which was an exceptional promotion. As for the reward of Yuzhou Mu, it was also the selfish motives of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Whose territory is Yuzhou? Cao Cao.
In appointing Bai Xiaowen as the shepherd of Yuzhou, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted Bai Xiaowen to stick to Xudu and fight Cao Cao desperately.
In addition, Bai Xiaowen was Yuan Shao's son. In the view of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, his son was fighting Cao Cao, so why should I not help him? He would definitely fight to the death with Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao read the edict and received Yuan Xi's family letter from Li Shuyi. He read it briefly and basically explained why he sent troops to attack Xudu and some subsequent suggestions.
In fact, Yuan Shao was still happy in his heart. Let’s not talk about whether Bai Xiaowen had his consent to send troops. Being able to capture Cao Cao’s lair was a great achievement and no one could deny it. The originally stalemate battle situation was likely to become one-sided.
.
In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty granted him the title of Grand Sima, which also made Yuan Shao feel more honored.
Sitting in front of the case, Yuan Shao stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "The imperial edict and Xian Yi's letter have been passed down to you for viewing."
After seeing this, all the counselors congratulated Yuan Shao and naturally praised Bai Xiaowen.
There was joy and peace in the military tent, but some people were still unhappy.
The one who was unhappy was naturally Yuan Shang, who had already sounded the alarm in his heart: the second brother has been too capable of causing trouble recently!
What are you doing jumping up and down like this?
With Yuan Shang's thinking, he can only think of one possibility: Yuan Xi is determined to establish an heir!
Originally, Yuan Shang wanted to compete with his eldest brother Yuan Tan to establish an heir, relying on the idea of "establishing a virtuous person", which could slightly compete with the convention of "establishing an elder". But now Yuan Xi suddenly came out of the blue, and Yuan Shang's share in establishing virtuous people was eliminated!
In Yuan Shang's mind, he immediately listed his second brother Yuan Xi as the biggest threat.
If you want to compete with the eldest brother Yuan Tan, you must first defeat the second brother!
Yuan Shang frequently signaled to Feng Ji.
As everyone knows, Feng Ji is also thinking hard in his heart. But the edict and Bai Xiaowen's letter are both impeccable; the great success of attacking Xudu can completely cover up the crime of sending troops privately, so what can he use to criticize?
Although Yuan Shao has a soft ear, he is not a fool. Yuan Shao is in the mood now, and if Feng Ji attacks Yuan Xi out of thin air, he will definitely be reprimanded.
He could only try his best to apply some eye medicine: "My lord, Xu You seemed to have proposed to attack Xudu a few days ago? Calculating the time, it seems to coincide with the time when the second young master sent troops. I haven't seen Xu You in the past few days, could it be..."
Yuan Shao's face froze. Just a few days ago, Xu You persuaded him to send Qingqi to attack Xu Du. Because Xu You's nephew was corrupt and illegal in Yecheng, he rejected Xu You's suggestion and cursed him. These days, he has been
Didn't see it.
Now Yuan Xi has proved with facts that Xu You is right and he is wrong!
Could it be said that Yuan Xi adopted Xu You's suggestion and launched a surprise attack on Xu Du?
Doesn’t this mean that I, Yuan Benchu, am blind and ignorant of good plans? Even worse than my son?
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more likely it became, and the smile on his face became stiff.
Jushou opened his mouth and said:
"Impossible. The soldiers and horses from Youzhou attacked Xudu by surprise. The journey is far away. It requires many days of planning in advance. According to the time calculation, Xu You's plan was not accepted, and the time when the soldiers left Youzhou was almost the same as the second son's army. Let Xu be envoy
Because your plan failed, you turned to the Second Young Master, which would have required more than a few days of preparation. Even now, you may not be able to send troops! Let alone achieve victory.
"So I conclude that the Second Young Master's surprise attack on Xu Capital must not have relied on Xu You's advice. I can only say that the heroes have the same ideas. Xu You and the Second Young Master coincided with each other on the decision to surprise Xu Capital!"
What Ju Shou said was correct, but Yuan Shao's face turned even uglier.
All heroes see the same thing, so who am I? An idiot?
The atmosphere in the tent became stiff with Yuan Shao's expression.
Fengji glanced at Jushou and laughed secretly in his heart. You Jushou have no wisdom and tricks. You can't figure out the lord's temperament and mind. What's the use?
Just when Feng Ji wanted to add fuel to the fire, Li Shuyi suddenly spoke:
"My lord, when the young master sent the last general to deliver the message, he once said something to advise the lord to be cautious in defense and not to underestimate the enemy and make rash moves to prevent Cao Cao from jumping over the wall."
Yuan Shao grunted and waved his hand: "You can go down now! This is a high-level military meeting. You are a partial general and have no qualifications to be here."
After Li Shuyi retreated, Jushou said: "What the second young master said is absolutely true..."
"Wait a minute," Yuan Shao waved his hand to stop Ju Shou, "Cao's army was already short of food, and now that most of the army has been defeated, it is like a lost dog. If we don't take this opportunity to attack fiercely, how can we expand the results? I was lucky enough to succeed with a surprise attack.
This is a great achievement, but when it comes to the overall situation of the war, it still needs some thought."
Feng Ji looked admiring: "My lord is wise!"
A group of melon-eating counselors also agreed. As for the generals in the tent, making plans is not their specialty, so they naturally follow what others say.
