For local powerful people, a thousand pieces of gold is a considerable amount of wealth, but the reward of "Marquis of Ten Thousand Households" is obviously more tempting. You know, even Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, only has 1,500 households in the city.
.If you can really win the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, you will be able to become the top wealthy family in the world.
Therefore, when Yuan Shu and his party fled to the north of the Yellow River, they were quickly attacked by the local powerful, and were later chased by soldiers and horses led by Zhang Yang. Ji Ling protected Yuan Shu and fought and fled until they reached the vicinity of Wen County
, saw Zhang Yangjun chasing after him. Ji Ling saw that the situation was not good, so he let Yuan Shu escape by himself so that he could stay and break up the rear.
However, Yuan Shu was fat and his skills were no longer what he was when he was a boy. He shouted in the car: "How can I escape by myself?"
Ji Ling had no choice but to leave some of his troops and horses behind, and drove his carriage to flee north. The more than a hundred people left behind were quickly wiped out, and Zhang Yang's cavalry caught up with them again and surrounded the carriage. Yuan Shu was on the carriage.
He stood up and shouted: "I am Yuan Gongdao, Runan, where is Uncle Zhang Zhi?"
Zhang Yang came out on horseback. He was covered in clothes and holding a spear in his hand. He said to Yuan Shu on the carriage: "Yuan Gongli, what else do you have to say?"
Yuan Shu shouted: "You can't kill me!"
Zhang Yang was stunned and asked: "Why?"
Yuan Shu said proudly: "I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have disciples and old officials all over the world. If you kill me today, someone will definitely want to avenge me in the future! By then, you can't even sleep well, why not let go now?"
Shall I leave? My brother Yuan Shao now occupies Hebei and has many soldiers and generals. Aren't you afraid that he will send troops to attack you?"
Zhang Yang's face changed slightly, he pondered for a while, and then said to the surrounding soldiers: "Make way!"
General Yang Chou said anxiously: "My lord, the false emperor Yuan Shu is a traitor named by the imperial court. If you take him down, you can be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
Zhang Yang said displeasedly: "Don't I know about this? If you are told to get out of the way, get out of the way. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be dealt with immediately by military law!"
Yang Chou glanced at Yuan Shu on the carriage bitterly, and reluctantly withdrew with his troops.
From this, Ji Ling took Yuan Shu and continued to run towards the northeast, that is, Yuan Shao's territory. Watching the carriage rushing away on the road, the soldiers and horses ambush in the woods stirred for a while, and then came under the hands of the person in charge.
He scolded and quieted down, and left quietly.
After Yuan Shu and Ji Ling finally reached Jizhou, they were intercepted by Zhang He's troops. Zhang He was a general under Yuan Shao, but he did not dare to act independently in this kind of matter. While entertaining Yuan Shu with good wine and meat, he reported the situation to Zheng Zheng.
Yuan Shao of Yecheng.
"What? Yuan Jiujiu defected to me?"
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He was now in his forties and had just defeated Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan. When he was in high spirits, he couldn't help laughing when he heard that his once powerful enemy Yuan Shu was actually coming to defect to him.
, "Yuan Jiujiu, Yuan Jiujiu, think about how domineering and domineering you were back then, but now you are coming to join me?"
One of the most wonderful things in the world is to see a once powerful enemy kneeling at his feet, wailing and begging for mercy. Yuan Shao said to the messenger: "Ask Zhang He to send people to Yecheng immediately!"
The ordering soldier kowtowed on the ground and said "Promise!"
After a while, Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Guo Tu, Xu You and others came after hearing the news. Xu You smiled and said to Yuan Shao: "Congratulations, my lord, now that Yuan Shu has surrendered, there will no longer be anyone in this world who can compete with my lord for the world."
of people!"
In the eyes of these wealthy families in Hebei, Yuan Shao is now like Emperor Guangwu two hundred years ago. As long as he controls Hebei, he will conquer the world in the future. Yuan Shao himself thinks so too. He has always been afraid of Yuan Shu alone.
Now Yuan Shu brazenly proclaimed himself emperor, but ended up being betrayed and separated from his relatives.
From then on, who else can compare with him, Yuan Benchu?
Gongsun Zan is just a common man, and Zhang Yan is nothing more than a bandit. Even if he acts cruel for a while, he is no match for him after all!
Tian Feng on the side heard the words and said, "My lord, Hebei has just been pacified, and there are still strong enemies around. Don't be arrogant because of this. If nothing else, Cao Mengde, the herdsman of Yanzhou, has now
After seizing the land north of the Huaihe River, his power has greatly increased and he is no longer under his lord!
In the past, Cao Cao was dependent on his lord. Now that the two sides are close in strength, can Cao Mengde still be so submissive? I heard that Cao Cao's army invaded Xuzhou again and captured more than a dozen cities. If Cao Cao occupied Xuzhou again, the balance of power would be reversed.
Come over here!
In addition, Chen Cheng welcomed the emperor to Chang'an and was named a general by the court. He has already occupied the land of Yongliang, which was the territory of the Qin State in the past. If he is allowed to become powerful, it will be difficult to deal with him in the future."
Crows announcing funerals are always annoying. Yuan Shao now looked at Tian Feng and found something he didn't like. His face turned ugly, and he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked: "Yuan Hao just wants to remind me not to be arrogant."
Heart, is that why you came here?"
Tian Feng, named Yuan Hao, was born in the Tian family in Julu, Hebei. He was known for his intelligence when he was young. After Yuan Shao arrived in Hebei, he came to the door in person with heavy gifts, and then he recruited Tian Feng into his army. At the beginning, the emperor and his ministers
It's very pleasant to get along with each other. But as time goes by, some grudges and frictions will inevitably occur. Just like between lovers, they are inseparable at first, but after doing it more, they feel that it is just that, and you will know it as soon as you raise your hand.
No matter how much knowledge you use, you will inevitably get itchy of one kind or another.
Tian Feng bowed his hands and said, "No, I'm here because of Yuan Shu's affairs."
Yuan Shao said coldly: "This is our Yuan family's family matter, so Yuan Hao doesn't need to worry about it, right?"
Tian Feng was an upright man. He thought that the current Yuan Shao was Yuan Shao who had just arrived in Hebei, but he didn't know that his monarch was now a veritable shepherd of Jizhou. In other words, he knew that he just couldn't change his attitude, so he was still using the past
attitude towards Yuan Shao.
"Otherwise," Tian Feng said, "Yuan Shu has arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor. The imperial court issued a decree and placed a large reward on Yuan Shu's head. Now that he has come to Hebei, if the lord does not want the imperial court to be angry, he must be killed immediately and his head sent to Chang'an.
!”
Yuan Shao's expression was no longer cold, but gloomy. Seeing his lord's unkind expression, Guo Tu was secretly happy. He had been suppressed by Tian Feng in the past, but now he seemed to have a chance to succeed. He suppressed the joy in his heart.
, came out of the queue and said: "Tian Biejia, this is wrong!"
"Oh, I wonder what Gongze's wisdom is?"
Guo Tu was named Gongze. Like Xun Chen, another counselor of Yuan Shao, he was from Yingchuan, so he was naturally rejected by the locals in Hebei. Although he was a trusted counselor of Yuan Shao, he has never been able to become the core decision-maker.
.
"Lord," Guo Tu saluted Yuan Shao, then straightened up and said, "Chen Cheng is from a humble background. He is just a peasant in Wei County, Hebei Province. His family background is not obvious. Even if he controls the court, who in the world will obey him?
?When he was in Luoyang in the past, he had the emperor and the two queen mothers in his hands, but none of the court ministers listened to his orders, and He Jin easily drove him out of Luoyang. Although the emperor and the court have gone to Chang'an now, I don't expect
The courtiers still will not bow to him!"
Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Don't ask where the hero came from. When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty first started, he was just a pavilion chief on the edge of Surabaya. Didn't he also create the Han Dynasty? On the contrary, Xiang Yu came from a noble family, but in the end he only ended up
Wu Jiang commits suicide!"
"Tian Feng, you are so bold!" Guo Tu's expression changed and he reprimanded: "Are you comparing Chen Cheng to Han Gaozu and my lord to the Overlord of Chu? Are you trying to say that my lord will also be defeated by Gaixia in the future?
?You will also end up committing suicide in Wujiang? Tian Feng, you are really cruel!"
He turned around and said to Yuan Shao: "Tian Yuanhao mocked the Lord, please take him down and punish him immediately!"
Although Yuan Shao's temperament has changed a lot recently and he is no longer as humble as before, he is not yet intolerable. He waved his hand and said, "Yuan Hao must not mean that."
Guo Tu's face was full of anger just now. When he heard Yuan Shao say this, his face immediately calmed down and even put on a smile, "My lord said, I am going to Meng Lang."
Although Yuan Shao did not listen to his opinion, Guo Tu was not disappointed at all. In the past, Tian Feng was deeply trusted by Yuan Shao. Not to mention slandering Tian Feng in person, even if he had the slightest intention, he would be punished lightly.
Punishment including reprimand and, in severe cases, dismissal from office.
Like now, if you slander Tian Feng in person and still not be reprimanded, it proves that things have changed.
Guo Tu glanced at Tian Feng and thought to himself: Tian Yuanhao, although you have profound wisdom, you are not flexible, so how can you be my opponent? Just wait, this is just the beginning, we will see in the future!
He added: "Just now, Tian Biejia said that if Cao Mengde captures Xuzhou, it will be very difficult to control it, but I have a plan to divide Cao Cao's power!"
"Appreciate further details."
Guo Tu spoke eloquently, "Although Cao Cao now occupies Runan, he has not been able to conquer the hearts of the local people. The local scholars are powerful and cannot be used by him. Moreover, Yuzhou is where the lord's family is, so why not appoint a son as the shepherd of Yuzhou? This way
This will form a two-sided attack on Cao Mengde!"
After hearing this, Shen Pei and others praised Guo Tu's plan very well, and further proposed that another person could be selected as the shepherd of Qingzhou. In this way, even if Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, it would be nothing more than a victory.
Just making wedding clothes for Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked happy and laughed loudly: "I have all of you to help me, so I have nothing to worry about!"
Although Tian Feng was a little disdainful of Guo Tu's character, he also felt that this was indeed a good strategy. However, he still had to stand up and be the crow announcing the funeral, because he was such an upright person. Even if he hit the south wall,
He won't think about turning back, but will continue to hit the top. Either he will hit a hole, or he will die on the south wall.
"It is certainly good to let the two young masters serve as Yuzhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu, but how should Yuan Shu deal with it?" Tian Feng asked: "If one of them is not good, I am afraid that the imperial court will order the surrounding princes to attack together. I am afraid that when the time comes,
, even Cao Cao will fight against us!"
Crows are always annoying, and Yuan Shao is even more dissatisfied with Tian Feng. Is he trying to force himself to kill his clan brothers or something? Can't you handle the matter secretly? You have to ask me to do it.
