One hundred and ninetieth eight chapters abandon hesitation
"The foundation is not good because it is not strong, so that it cannot strive to compete in the Central Plains and compete with the world." Dr. He prepared an article on Wu Lun.
There was a cool breeze blowing in the pavilion surrounded by water, and the curtains were fluttering. Finally, a wise and beautiful maid braved the courage to come up and offer a wine bottle to Yuan Shu. She received a special look from Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu squeezed her softly as if she were boneless.
little hands.
After narrowing his eyes and watching the beautiful maid leave, Yuan Shu turned his head to Yuan Si. He heard what the other party just said clearly. If it were just anyone, he would have thought about whether the other party was Sun's lobbyist, but the other party
He is his brother. Since he is a member of his family, let's listen to his explanation.
Seeing Yuan Shu looking over, with a pair of three-white eyes staring at him indifferently, Yuan Si's heart trembled, and he hurriedly explained: "Sun Ce has been fighting for several months, and he has captured Lujiang for the king and expelled Lu Kang. Last time
When the general ordered Sun Ce to attack Lujiang, he allowed him to replace him. However, he later appointed Liu Xun to Lujiang not to express his grievances for the Sun family, but to steal it for the sake of the emperor. The Sun family had many generals and talents, and Sun Ce was very brave.
If you want to conquer the world, you definitely need such arms!"
"Humph." Yuan Shu put the wine bottle heavily on the table, with a displeased look on his face, and said coldly: "Sun Ben is the governor of Yuzhou, Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing is the prefect of Danyang, and his brother Sun Xiang is also the prefect of Runan.
I'm going to attack General Nan. Especially since Runan is where my Yuan family's foundation lies, and I can't take care of it unless I'm a close confidant, but I'm handing this place over to the Sun family, why should I treat it badly? They are still saying in private that I'm a loser, bah! I
Everyone under my command can feel wronged, but not the Sun family!"
Yuan Shu was not like his brother Yuan Shao who always paid attention to the demeanor of a scholar. On the contrary, he didn't care about these pretentious things at all, and spoke willfully and directly. Yuan Si's face turned red underneath. Although the other party was not talking about him, he seemed to
It was as if I had been reprimanded.
"Before you say this, ask yourself, if the Sun family is allowed to have another prefect, how can I sleep peacefully in the future?"
Yuan Yin and Yuan Si were both concubine brothers, and they had a deep affection for each other. At this time, they could not help but stand up for him and said: "In this case, why did the monarch repeatedly underestimate Sun Bofu's position as prefect? He broke his promise and broke his promise. Now he has failed.
Let everyone below continue to criticize you."
These words immediately made Yuan Shu speechless. He had specifically promised Sun to help him drive away Chen Yu who refused to accept Yuan Shu. Later, when he saw that Sun did not contribute much in the process of driving Chen Yu away, he
Naturally, he gave it to his own people, but after that, he successively promoted Sun Bi, Sun Xiang and others, which was considered compensation.
Sun Ce is now appointed as the governor of Lujiang because Yuan Shu knows that Lu Kang has a long-standing trust in Lujiang and cannot be hasty. Therefore, Yuan Shu wants Sun Ce to defeat Lujiang City first and become famous for attacking the famous scholar Lu Kang.
After taking the damage, let others attack on your behalf.
who knows
"Lujiang is easy to gain, but Lu Kang is defeated. This is really unexpected!" If Lu Kang was not loyal and righteous and had a quarrel with Sun Ce, Yuan Shu would have thought that this was what they had negotiated.
. He was embarrassed for a while, but soon became calm, and said with emotion: "Although this shows that the trust is not enough to stick to, the battle of Lujiang River has made me embarrassed. It is not me to accept his promise.
I hope I will gain weight by breaking my promise, but I will be disappointed by others.”
"You don't need to be in trouble." Yan Xiang said at the right time: "Sun Ce is the head of the Sun family. He cannot be given a big responsibility easily. Since the prince is afraid, he can use the excuse that he is too young and inexperienced to be responsible for the weight of two thousand stones.
!This position of Lujiang Prefect is not withheld, but to avoid the trouble of pulling out the seedlings and the harm of killing them, it is temporarily entrusted to others. It will only be given to Sun Ce when he can be used by Fang Bo. As for the public criticism, it can be
Following the previous example, we also compensated Sun Bi and other side branches. No one dared to say that he was being treated unfairly because the ruler was so considerate of the Sun family."
"Good, good!" Yuan Shu held up his palms and said with a smile, "Just what you say!"
After saying this, he thought for a moment and said: "Organize Wu Jing to be the capture general and lead his troops to conquer the counties east of the Yangtze River."
After Yuan Si and others retreated, Yan Xiang came forward and said to Yuan Shu: "Danyang is an important county across the river, and it has repeatedly sent out strong troops. It cannot be entrusted to anyone other than close confidants. You might as well take this opportunity and send someone else to take over."
"Well, I intend to let Jiye be the governor of Danyang and supervise the grain for Wu Jing." Yuan Shu had already made a decision on this matter, but the candidate he had in mind was not Yuan Si, who was barely available, but Yuan Yin, who was unknown and mediocre.
This surprised Yan Xiang, but after thinking about it, he understood.
Judging from what he just said, Yuan Si is obviously complaining about what happened to the Sun family. After people like this cross the river, it may be difficult to restrain and prevent Wu Jing. What's more, Yuan Si had previously been in Chen Guo
He didn't have any significant achievements and returned in defeat, which was really not enough to give him another big job.
After thinking about it, although Yuan Yin is a bit mediocre, he is one of the Yuan family's own, so he can be used with peace of mind. Yan Xiang nodded lightly, expressed no objection, and said again: "People in Jianghuai often say that Sun Ce has great ambitions and is a young man."
I am willing to join his sect, thinking that the king must be on guard against this person. It is best not to let him lead troops in the future."
"How could I not know that this person has great ambitions and is unwilling to succumb to others?" Yuan Shu led Yan Xiang to the edge of the pool and took a panoramic view of the dancing pavilions and singing platforms around him: "However, there are very few generals under my command like Sun. Even Zhang Xun
, Ji Ling is also hard to compare with." Yuan Shu said halfway, and suddenly reminded: "I will only talk about this to you alone, please don't spread it to others, for fear of making others dissatisfied."
He was always like this. His ideas and trade-offs were all good, but he never worried about the consequences. In order to check and balance, there were many secret ways to beat the Sun family, but Yuan Shu preferred to do it according to his own preferences and make big promises easily.
After encountering an unexpected situation, he refused to cash in. No wonder Sun was still dissatisfied with him after getting an advantage.
Like the comment just now, it is completely unnecessary to say it. I used this moment to deliberately show that I regard Yan Xiang as my confidant. Not to mention superfluous, it may affect other people's perception of him.
Yan Xiang felt helpless and knew that his nature was hard to change. Fortunately, Yuan Shu was blameless except for being overjoyed and impetuous and arrogant. This also allowed him to have a little confidence in the future for the time being.
"If this child can be used, then use it. If it cannot be used, please be cautious first!" Yan Xiang said to himself, pretending not to hear Yuan Shu's nonsense.
Yuan Shu admired Sun Ce's arrogant and righteous temperament, handsome appearance, and superhuman martial arts talents. Yuan Shu often regarded his reckless behavior as his own heroic spirit. When he was young, he was also the same.
As outstanding and knowledgeable as he is, all wise people from all over the world yearn for him. If the Sun family was not so powerful under his command that he had to control it, and if Sun Ce's wild horse was not tamed, how could he always be afraid of it?
Despite this, Yuan Shu was still a man who cherished his talents, not to mention that the other party was quite popular with him. Even though Yan Xiang and Reason repeatedly reminded him, he was still reluctant to kill Sun Ce.
Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "If I have a son like Sun Lang, why would I hate to die?"
Hearing this sigh, Yan Xiang knew that he had failed. He was not discouraged and simply avoided the topic. He also said: "Even if the princes reconcile with Yuan Jizhou, they cannot be credulous. Now they are forced to fight against the imperial court together due to the current situation."
Yes. When we stand side by side in the future, since we are brothers, there will be a battle to determine who belongs to them. The sooner you pay attention, the better."
"Yuan Benchu wanted to instigate me to come forward, but he didn't know that this was exactly what I wanted." Yuan Shu put away his gloomy expression and said calmly: "There are no generals in Yuzhou, so he can only defend himself. Liu Biao in Jingzhou only has his power, but even Jingnan has no generals.
Before returning home, a dead dog from Tao Qian in Xuzhou is nothing to worry about. Jiangdong is a mess, and Cao Mengde is just a running dog of my brother. Looking around Yangzhou, who can be my enemy? Wait for me to embrace him.
Zhuzhou, the general situation has been established, so what if I am allowed to take the lead?"
Yan Xiang nodded, and suddenly remembered what Gao Gan said and headed west at the same time, then Yanyu can be obtained, but Yuzhou can be returned. What does Yanzhou mean? Doesn't Yanzhou belong to Cao Cao now?
He asked these questions, and Yuan Shu was also thoughtful. After a while, he said: "There may be something fishy here. I will find out when I call the senior officials tomorrow and ask. It just so happens that there is something related to the trend of the imperial court. I
