"Smart words can ruin your moral character, and a small amount of impatience can ruin your great plans."
June 18th, the fourth year of Chuping.
Hedong County, Anyi.
After Fan Xian saw the letter in his hand, he held it in his hand angrily. He unconsciously raised his thick eyebrows and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What's going on? Things are going to be delayed again?"
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said to Xu You: "Isn't there already chaos between Qingxu and Qingxu? According to what Xu Jun said earlier, when Yuan Jizhou resolves the surrounding constraints, it will cause unrest in Qingxu.
After that, we can calmly march westward with troops to support our uprising in Hedong. Why is there still no news now? You must know that Wang Yi has been looking for evidence of our crimes these days. If you are not careful, he will get the handle.
Things can’t be delayed any longer!”
Now there is chaos in the East, and the powerful enemy Yuan Shunan is avoiding Jianghuai and reorganizing his strength. Gongsun Zan is trapped in a bitter battle and cannot escape. So far, Yuan Shao has no threat on three sides, so he can calmly attack Zhang Yan. The situation is going in the direction he expected step by step. Only Hedong
, with the arrival of Yang Pei, Liu Wan and others, Fan Xian and others' plan progress encountered various obstacles.
"Now is not the time." Xu You pinched a strand of beard on his chin and frowned to persuade: "Yuan Jun has not yet completely defeated the Black Mountain bandits. If we take action first, I am afraid it will be difficult for Yuan Jun to support the war in Hedong."
"If you don't take action now, how long will it take to do it?"
After all, Xu You was the special envoy sent by Yuan Shao. In addition to giving them instructions these days, he also gave and received property from various families. Although Fan Xian despised this person in his heart, he still gave it to him because Yuan Shao was standing behind him.
Enough respect, but there is still an unavoidable urgency in his tone: "Wang Yi has become more and more powerful these days, relying on foreigners such as Yang Pei and Liu Wan to take power for him. Last time Wei Gu took those few
The invaders who invaded the farmland were let go, but Wang Yi captured them all as soon as he came back. This was obviously to find out who we were. Mr. Xu is not from Hedong, so naturally he didn't care about the benefits, but we were deeply involved.
If we don't take action early, it will be too late by the time they find Sinyou!"
Xu You squinted his eyes and did not answer. What Fan Xian said was the biggest problem before him now. Yuan Shao had not chased the Black Mountain Army to Huguan. The Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo returned to the royal court with the help of Yuan Shao.
There has been no movement for a long time. If the Hedong rebellion was launched at this time, there would be no response from any party at all. I am afraid that there would be no need for the imperial court to send troops. Just by merging the states, they would be able to immediately send troops south to interfere with Jizhou's plans.
If you think so, I'm afraid Humphrey also has his own plans and is waiting for the rebellion in Hedong, right?
Xu You shook his head lightly and put aside this idea. From the current moment, regardless of where Wang Yi, who had always been weak and tolerant, had the confidence, he thought that relying on Yang Pei and a few others could weaken and make Hedong powerful.
Being forced into a corner means that even if the interests of Fan Xian and others have been lost before this, it has nothing to do with Xu You. From Xu You's point of view, this is not the best time to raise troops.
"Zhang Yan is the only one who can be considered a strong enemy among the Black Mountain bandits, but he is nothing compared to the original Baibo bandits. There are often war intelligence reports coming in these days. I don't think Zhang Yan can survive this month." Xu You glanced at him.
Looking at Fan Xian, he said softly: "Fan Jun is a hero from the east of the river. Could it be that he can't wait for just a few days?"
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he still had something to say, but Xu You immediately beat him to it: "What does Hedong mean? Fan Jun is going to tear apart the earth in the future, how can he do it for such a small thing in front of him?"
Is this going to mess up the grand plan? You please Fan Jun to be patient for the time being, at least until Yuan Jizhou arrives at Huguan, or we can make an agreement with our colleagues in Linjun to make plans."
Under Xu You's half-coaxing and half-persuasion, Fan Xian gradually understood. The few beards on his lips trembled slightly, and the emotions in his voice gradually calmed down a little: "Don't worry about Linjun's affairs. I've been doing this for the past six months."
Aren't we all wasting our minds on this? Zhang Yan, the captain of Hongnong and Shaanxi counties, was a local tycoon who failed due to his monopoly on salt and iron. Zhang Sheng, the captain of Diannong in Mianchi, was originally a mountain bandit. After receiving an official position, he was still wild and untamed and unwilling to work in farming. Now they are all
We have been persuaded and sincerely submitted. We only need to agree on a time and we can raise our troops at the same time..."
"What about Feng Yi?" Xu You asked first: "Hongnong is better off. Except for Feng Yi's strong opposition to the powerful officials in those years, he rarely cooperated with Guandong. Although some powerful officials came to the imperial court last year to clear the throne.
Lin was severely punished in the incident, but his strength is greatly reduced at this time. Even if he is win over, it will not be of much help, right?"
"Why does Xu Jun need to test me?" Fan Xian said: "I dare not say anything about what those powerful people think, but Zuo, Feng, Yiqiang, and Hu live together, and the Hu people are interested in profit, so it should not be difficult to convince them?"
Hearing what he said, Xu You stopped trying to be extravagant and nodded slightly: "Yes, that's what I mean. If Zuo Fengyi is powerful enough to win him over, then there's no need to force him to win over him. If he can't win over him, there's no need to force him. The first priority for us is those Qiang people."
...Does Fan Jun have anyone he can send to make peace?"
"Yes." Fan Xian laughed proudly, clasped his hands and said, "Guanzhong rangers like to make friends everywhere. Feng Yiqiang people have been naturalized for a long time. Although they are not valued by the powerful, they have a relatively harmonious relationship with these rangers. These days
I have made friends with knights everywhere, and there are two from Feng Yi that I can use. They are well-known among Feng Yi's powerful people, and they also have a lot of friendship among the Qiang people."
"Ability comes second, trustworthiness is more important." Xu You said calmly.
Fan Xian said: "With Zhu Gongdao as a guarantee, I believe it won't be too bad."
Speaking of Zhu Gongdao, Fan Xian couldn't help but sarcastically said: "This guy said verbally that he didn't want to get involved in these things. In fact, once I proposed to Zhu Ao my intention to make friends with Feng Yi, he didn't immediately help Zhu Ao, that is, help Zhu Ao.
I found these two people? It shows that no matter how arrogant and indifferent he is, he can't escape the word 'kiss'."
Fan Xian had always been dissatisfied with Zhu Gongdao, so he couldn't help but put on a sarcastic look, but he didn't have as much insight as Xu You. Xu You thought for a long time, feeling that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.
With Zhu Ao, a member of his family, tied to the same boat as them, Zhu Gongdao would never do the kind of thing of exterminating relatives and luring wolves into the house.
So Xu You felt relieved, nodded calmly, and said: "Zhu Gongdao is good at resolving people's problems. He has a free and easy temperament and doesn't like to fight with others. But when it comes to this kind of thing, we can't allow him to get away with it."
, in the end we have to choose a stance and come to our side."
"That's right, I've been watching for a long time these days. The guy named Li Yi has too many ideas in his belly, and he doesn't care about money and is lustful. I can't control him for a while. Fortunately, the other guy named Yan Qian is honest and dull.
, I don’t have any opinions, and I can get closer to him better than Li Yi. So I plan to find an opportunity in the next two days to show my kindness to Yan Qian, show my feelings, and win him down." Fan Xian said eloquently.
The images of Li Yi and Yan Qian suddenly appeared in Xu You's mind, and he felt that Fan Xian's evaluation was just right. The smarter a person is, the less likely they are to be influenced by outsiders' words. On the contrary, people with simple minds are more likely to be influenced by words.
He is beguiled by interests and is willing to serve others.
"Then, has Fan Jun thought about how to win over Yan Qian?"
