Chapter 82 Commitment
Yes! In history, Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian and massacred the military and civilians of Xuzhou to avenge his father, but it was another time later... Long before the Cao Song incident, Cao Cao had already washed Xuzhou bloodied.
Cao Cao at that time was completely different from now. He had no desire to worry about the country and the people at all. When he massacred the civilians, he had already had a general's aura of success... After Sun Ce died, he had completely lost his current immature willfulness and transformed into a mature man and became a famous Jiangdong little overlord.
Daddy... can you really rebuild someone?
The tragic incident like Xuzhou was slaughtered, the Tao merchant would definitely not let it happen again in history. Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to get close to Yuan Shao. As for Tao Qian's side... When he returned to Xuzhou in the future, the Tao merchant would explain it carefully to Tao Qian.
But if Tao Qian didn't get in and still stubbornly insisted on going the same path as Yuan Shu... Tao Shang didn't know if he would be transformed as well.
"United with me?" Yuan Shao finally spoke slowly: "Speaking of this, your Tao family's Xuzhou seems to be closer to the highway in terms of geographical location. With such a strong neighbor, why did Mr. Tao show goodwill to Yuan? Isn't you afraid of causing trouble in the future and not being able to live a peaceful life?"
The Taoist thought to myself that the best way to live a peaceful life is to kill you one by one now... the problem is really impossible.
Tao Shang sighed and chuckled, "It is precisely because of the strong neighbors that Tao wants to join forces with you, Mr. Yuan. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are all bears and tigers. How can I rest assured when I have them in my father and son? Xuzhou is also in the four battles and cannot settle in a corner. I have just seen what Yuan Shu did and betrayed Sun Jian without mercy. It is not a righteous person. Compared with Mr. Yuan, the character is not a little bit worse. On one hand, he is a hero of the world and a wolf, tiger and leopard. It is natural to choose Mr. Yuan."
Tao Shang's words really touched Yuan Shao's heart... In terms of heart, Yuan Shao just likes others to say that his younger brother Yuan Shu is not as strong as himself! As a concubine, he was adopted by his father Yuan Feng since childhood and was adopted by his uncle Yuan Cheng. Yuan Shao's grandmother was not close to his uncle. Yuan Shu was always proud of his legitimate origin, and he also complained about Yuan Shao's origin in private, thinking that he was just a slave born to a concubine.
There is no reason why brothers become like this. At least when Sikong Yuan Feng was alive, he did not do well in educating his children, and a bowl of water was not smooth... The seeds of the gap were planted between the two brothers since childhood.
Yuan Shao suddenly spoke and asked Tao Shang: "The Han Dynasty is in decline today, and the emperor is imprisoned by Dong Bids when he was young. The imperial edicts are all from the hands of Dong Bids. The people in the world live in vain. Yuan intends to establish the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Yu, the Marquis of Xiangben, is the emperor? What is this move according to Prince Tao's intention?"
Tao Shang sneered in his heart.
Yuan Shao saw that the emperor was brought to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo and the rescue was nowhere to be achieved. It would be better to simply create another new emperor for easier control.
If you establish one today, and another other princes will establish another one, how many emperors will emerge in the world? Is this world still saved? When Yuan Shao told He Jin, you, "Change heroes from all directions and lead troops to the capital," which made Dong Zhuo enter the capital, which has caused chaos in the world. Now you want to play this trick of establishing a new king and sing a stage play against Dong Zhuo... The world has already caused you a lot of harm.
But it doesn’t matter. Liu Yu in history has never been the emperor. What can Tao do if you say something nice to deal with?
"This method of Mr. Yuan is indeed a good strategy to revive the country. Now there is a young king in name in Chang'an, but it doesn't matter. Officials below the ministers and ministers all flatter Dong Zhuo's old thief. The current important matter is to send troops to guard the Guanjin Fortress, causing the old thief Dong Zhuo to be exhausted and died. Yuan Gong established another thief in the east, so peace is just around the corner." The Tao Shang said this very against his will, and he almost vomited.
Yuan Shao once revealed this matter to several people whom he thought were confidants among the princes, but they all received ambiguous perfunctory answers, including Cao Cao, who disagreed, which made Yuan Shao feel very depressed.
I didn't expect that the first person who sincerely agreed with him and gave advice to him was the Tao family's son. Yuan Shao felt mixed feelings at this moment.
This child is really a gentleman and a wise minister in troubled times... a good person, a big deal!
"Okay! Mr. Tao is indeed very sincere to Shao. The next day, he asked his son to return to Xuzhou and told your father Tao Gongzu that it is beneficial to the interests of our two families. In the future, Shao will not let each other down."
The Tao merchant bowed to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong is wise."
While speaking, he had already changed from the "''s leader'' to the moment, he was called "Yuan Gong". At this moment, he changed to "Ming Gong".
The pottery was moved by his good intentions and was about to cry.
Yuan Shao was in a good mood at this time, so he reached out and patted Tao Shang on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Young Master Tao is young, and he is far-sighted and wise... He will definitely have a great future in the future. No wonder Meng De has such a good relationship with you. You are indeed a wonderful person, hahahaha."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Tao Shang couldn't help but relax and asked again: "Leader...what is Xu Rong's matter? What are you going to deal with me?"
Yuan Shao waved his hand attentively, and his words seemed very passionate: "What a small matter, what's the point, then Xu Rongai will do whatever he wants, I'll give it to you... With Yuan here, who dares to say you are not? I'll take him three layers of skin."
The person surnamed Yuan is really domineering. He just said he wanted to come to me and talk.
The pottery bowed and thanked him, "For this reason, I would like to thank Mr. Ming... Oh, by the way, there is another thing. If Mr. Ming doesn't find a way to solve it, he will never be beautiful."
Yuan Shao knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and said lightly: "Mr. Tao wants to say about the settlement of Wang Situ and other ministers?"
The pottery nodded and said, "That's true. These people want to stay under the Ming Gong's account, but taking them in is a burden. If you don't take them in, it will be a detriment to the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. It's really difficult to deal with them. Ming Gong should be very cautious when dealing with them."
Yuan Shao hummed softly and said dissatisfiedly: "You brought the person back, are you still embarrassed to say it?"
The pottery looked embarrassed all of a sudden: "I've caused you trouble."
Yuan Shao rolled his eyes and said, "You have indeed caused me some trouble, but it's still quite a problem."
"Mr. Tao... is ashamed."
Yuan Shao sighed and said, "What's the use of being ashamed? Wang Yun is almost blocking Yuan's door and asking me for justice. There must be an excuse to get him out."
The Tao merchant touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, there is no way."
"Oh?" Yuan Shao was immediately excited when he heard this and said, "What's the solution?"
The pottery thought about the words and whispered: "The so-called division and transformation, the princes are actually not bad enough to raise so many people to eat idle food. The ones who are concerned are just the many nobles and the powerful people. Just imagine so many nobles, and in the past, there were many powerful people, and dozens of people gathered under any prince's command. The political pressure formed by the great amount of power. I think no princes can stand it..."
Yuan Shao said angrily: "What should I do?"
"Old solution, everyone will share it equally."
When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes lit up.
Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't speak, Tao Shang coughed and continued, "We have more than ten princes here. Even if Sun Jian has left, each family will be divided into three or five, and it doesn't matter if he brings back the territory to provide for it. No one family is not afraid to raise so many idle people, and each family has three or five territories, so it won't cause much storm..."
When talking about this, the Taoist merchant found that Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly became straight and strange, making the Taoist merchant feel uncomfortable all over.
"Ming Gong... what do you mean by looking at me like this?" Tao Shang asked hesitantly.
"When Mr. Tao was divided into court officials with Dong Zhuo, it seemed like this was the one he played? Now he is still here... he really uses multiple tricks and is distracted from the test... The average score is hehe, Mr. Tao is really a person of particularity."
Tao Shang bowed respectfully and said, "Tao is a human being, what he emphasizes most on daily life is fairness and fairness."
Yuan Shao shook his head and muttered, "I'm young, where do you come from so many evil spirits... I'm almost catching up with Cao Mengde!"
The Tao merchant tentatively said, "Does Ming Gong think my plan is not good?"
Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "The plan is pretty good and feasible."
A black line appeared on the back of the potter's head.
