"If you live in that person's house, I want her to repay me; if you are my wife, I want her to be my husband."
"Our army defeated Zhang Yan in Taihang, and we just happened to hear about the uprising in Hedong, so Ming Gong went west to quell the rebellion. He was the master who fought against the 'thieves' for the country. He is a well-known one." Jushou added on the side: "Does the imperial court still want to send Huangfu Song to lead troops to attack meritorious ministers?"
Before he finished speaking, Ju Shoufu said again: "Even if the imperial court intends to raise troops to investigate the crime, as long as Ming Gong stationed troops in Shangdang and Hedong, and took advantage of Taihang's geographical advantage to support Jizhou's strong troops, he would be able to sit back and guard without any worries, and then send out troops." When envoys come to the court, state the reasons and submit a request to be appointed governor of Bingzhou and governor of Hedong County."
First, attack Zhang Yan, adopting the policy of attacking but not destroying, destroying but not eliminating, trying to use Zhang Yan's remnant army as a vanguard and drive them all the way to Bingzhou. Then Yuan Shao can logically "pursue" the Supreme Party. At this time, Hedong heard that If Feng raises his troops and joins forces with Yuan Shao to attack Shangdang, they can cut off the connection between Taiyuan and the counties in the north of Bingzhou and Guanzhong.
By calculated and unintentional, they would take advantage of the initial outbreak of the war and before the imperial court could react, to calm down the "war" in Bingzhou, Hedong, and even Hongnong. According to the plan of Tian Feng and others, as long as everything goes well and the army advances quickly enough, in With internal support in Hedong and no strong troops in Bingzhou, it was very easy for Yuan Shao to win the two places in a short period of time. No matter how unlucky he was, he could still win the Shangdang, occupy a favorable geographical location, and ensure the security of Jizhou's back.
At that time, even if Gongsun Zan responded, he would only need to send a small number of generals to guard the natural dangers, and the rest of the troops could return to support.
If you have better luck, you can enter Gyeonggi Province.
"Zhong Yao, the governor of Liangzhou, was born in Yingchuan and has always been close to Guandong. Guo Yuan, who served under Duke Ming, was Zhong Yuanchang's nephew... As for Han Sui, the governor of Yongzhou, he was just a snob. He obeyed when he was strong and provoked when he was weak. When Duke Ming garrisoned troops in the east of Hedong and was powerful in Guanzhong, it was not difficult for the Yongliang generals to make a decision." Jushou had not spoken freely in front of Yuan Shao for a long time. This time he followed Tian Feng and told all about his recent plans. Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly.
"Good." Yuan Shao tapped the ink in the inkstone with the tip of his pen, and gently scratched the edge of the pen on the edge of the inkstone, and praised: "If we can win Bingzhou, Guanzhong, and even Yongliang in this battle, then half of the entire north will be defeated." In my hands, I will return the capital to Luoyang with the imperial court, obey the emperor's orders to fight against dissatisfaction, and support my troops to the west. Why should I fear Gongsun Xiao'er?"
This strategic plan was almost entirely the work of Tian Feng and Ju Shou. Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others only participated in finalizing the minor details. At this time, seeing Yuan Shao's praise of Tian Feng and others, Guo Tu Tu's expression was a little subtle, and he glanced at Feng Ji, the man from Nanyang beside him.
Meeting Ji's understanding, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, not only is the land of Yongliang not a concern, but the elite Northern Army, whose Shooting Colonel Jujun is also a relative of the Jujian Army, isn't it? We don't ask him to defect to the battlefield, but we ask him to exchange news and convey government affairs. That would be of great help to Duke Ming."
These words were really ill-intentioned. Jushou immediately remembered what Tian Feng told him a long time ago, to try to put aside relations with Jujun. For so long, Jushou has been doing what Tian Feng said, so he deliberately kept a low profile. , and even did not hesitate to let Tian Feng replace his former position as the "mastermind" in front of Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, he was so careful that he was still caught by the villain, and even used his current position to "supervise the army, Fenwu" General' came to hint Yuan Shao.
The suggestion made by Feng Ji was actually a dilemma for Ju Shou. After all, his family knew his own family, and Ju Jun was promoted to the army by the emperor at a young age. He was very grateful to the emperor. It would be more difficult to make him switch sides in the battle.
It is still difficult to reach the sky. But if Ju Shou cannot persuade Ju Jun to join him, or if he secretly communicates with him, what will Yuan Shao think? Will he doubt his Ju family's position?
Jushou couldn't help but turn his attention to Tian Feng. After all, it was the other party who advised him to be wise and protect himself. Now Jushou was a little flustered and subconsciously wanted Tian Feng to rescue him.
Tian Feng didn't look at Ju Shou at all. He said tit for tat: "This is a clever plan. I heard that Xun Youruo's nephew Xun You is serving as a minister in the imperial court and is a cardinal. Since you want to contact Ju Jun to communicate with him, why not send someone there too?
Contact Xun You? He is from the Xun family in Yingchuan, and he is a friend and nephew, so he should pass on the secret."
Feng Ji's face hardened. The Xun family members are now each their own masters, and each has its own agenda to avoid the overthrow of the whole family. This is a fact that everyone from the emperor to Cao Cao has acknowledged. Even Yuan Shao is not so confused about the truth.
, had to force Xun Yu, Xun You and the rest of the clan to surrender. Despite this, Xun Chen was still not really reused under Yuan Shao, and only acted as an ordinary counselor or even a lobbyist.
From this point of view, Xun Chen is not as good as Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, and Yuan Shao is not as tolerant as the other two.
Now being attacked by Tian Feng with his spear and shield, Feng Ji Youku, who wanted to take the opportunity to stumbling upon Ju Shou, could not say anything. Fortunately, the words were raised by him, not Guo Tu, and they expressed their respect to each other.
There is a little room for change.
Guo Tu chuckled at this time and said: "There are thousands of miles between relatives, and it is understandable that they exchange letters and express their friendship. Now everyone keeps their duties and abides by the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers. But if you have other aspirations or wishes,
If there are any changes, we should be aware of them in advance to prepare for any changes, right?"
Tian Feng frowned, and the other party kept saying "the relationship between relatives and relatives" and "the relationship between monarch and minister". According to him, should he exchange letters and be ambiguous with his relatives who are in hostile forces, or should he be loyal to his lord and be with his relatives?
Draw a clear line between relatives?
Guo Tu spoke tactfully, seemingly saying nothing, but in fact he also expressed his opinion that "you should be aware of it in advance". But in fact, no matter what Yuan Shao planned to do about this matter, he could match his words.
, this is where Guo Tu is more powerful than Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others, and also why he can become the representative figure of Yingchuan scholars under Yuan Shao and is highly appreciated by Yuan Shao.
"I have a strong personality. Your nephew may not be any more lenient than you." Yuan Shao looked at the words written on the paper intently and said softly: "Maybe he has a strong and upright character. If he is
It is useless to have your own opinion and force it. Now is the critical moment, so we should not create new problems."
"Jinnuo." Jushou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"About Bingzhou and the strategy of Hedong." Yuan Shao held the pen in his hand, the tip of the pen hanging on the paper. He seemed to mention casually: "Does Gongze have anything else to say?"
This was giving Guo Tu a chance to show off. Guo Tu cupped his hands and leaned close to Yuan Shao, showing an extremely close gesture.
Although he was very scheming, he was not bad at strategy: "When the overall situation was decided and Hongnong was bound to conclude a war, the Yang family would definitely not sit back and watch Sangzi suffer a war. He and Huang Wan recognized the situation clearly and persuaded the court to delay the war.
, should be the intended meaning of the question. In addition, even if the prince realizes later and knows that we have hidden it from him, there is nothing he can do. What’s more, the prince has great trust in Duke Ming. When the time comes, as long as Duke Ming gives him kind words and advises him, he will respect him.
, and promised the position of Prime Minister and Assistant to the Three Dukes, I think the prince could not say anything. As for Liu Yu, under the general trend, he would either surrender and accept his fate, or die loyally and kill himself, or run away to a foreign tribe, there is no other way.
"
Unlike Tian Feng and Ju Shou, Guo Tu did not start from the military perspective. Instead, he analyzed the process and feasibility of this strategy from a political perspective. Regardless of whether Yuan Shao enters the court or not, he will try his best to win over the Kwantung scholars in the court. People, and used and supported people like Huang Wan and Wang Yun to act as Yuan Shao's spokespersons in the court and cooperate with them to achieve the goal of firmly controlling the government from top to bottom.
In order to avoid saying too much, Guo Tu said cautiously and flatteringly: "According to what Yuan Hao and others said, this plan will be flawless. By that time, the emperor will rule from the top, and Ming Gong will be the general. .”
When Yuan Shao's advisers met Ji, it should be Pang Ji, which is the same as 'Pang' in ancient times and pronounced as 'pang'. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" notes: Because of Fu Bo's recruitment of resourceful people (Pang) [Pang] Ji. The editor quoted Chen Jingyun as saying: According to Xun Yu and Yuan Shao's biography, both wrote "Pang Ji", but this one wrote "Pang", which is wrong. Today's account has been changed. Note: Pang is pronounced the same as Pang, but the pronunciation is close and incorrect.
For the convenience of reading, the commonly used usage is adopted in the book.
