"The most unkind thing in the world, the person who started it may not have relied on righteousness to give birth to a calm and forbearing heart." [Reading Tongjian Lun·Volume 9]
Only then did Guo Tu realize that a layer of cold sweat had broken out behind him. Yuan Shao suddenly used the sword to talk about something, obviously taking the opportunity to test their attitude. Guo Tu, Pang Ji and others all responded to Yuan Shao's call and ran from Yingchuan.
Although the scholars in Jizhou had more or less sympathies with the Yuan family and were willing to join Yuan Shao's family, at most they wanted to assist Yuan Shao in supporting the Han Dynasty and establish a purely scholarly court. Although as the world situation worsened,
Due to the chaos and the gradual expansion of Yuan Shao's power, some people will inevitably have other thoughts.
But if you really want to say it out loud, Guo Tu and others are hesitant.
After all, the lingering power of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years still hangs over everyone's heart like a shadow. The little emperor in Guanzhong is not a weak and incompetent king. There is still a chance for the world to be overturned. Guo Tu and others do not need to commit suicide for Yuan Shao.
road.
Yuan Shao also knew that such a result would be obtained. As early as when he invaded Hu Pass, he tested everyone's minds with the issue of "Five Elements of Virtue". The answer at that time was ambiguous, let alone now? But at that time, Guo Tu was still
He would say such outrageous words as "The country has no king" for him, but at this time, he would only look forward and backward, full of worries, which made Yuan Shao very disappointed.
"Ming Gong." When Tian Feng saw that his maid had taken away the sword box, he was eager to put an end to the matter and said, "It has been two or three days since the military report from Qingzhou arrived. The matter is urgent. There have been many injustices recently.
I hope Duke Ming will make a decision soon."
"Yes." Guo Tu rarely agreed with Tian Feng. As the heir to the Yuan family who was favored by Yingchuan scholars, Guo Tu was naturally worried about Yuan Tan's urgent needs: "The eldest son came from Qingzhou and wanted to marry Lu Bu.
, Chang Xi, temporarily drive them forward and use their hands to fight Cao Cao. First, it can leave room for reconciliation between Ming Gong and Cao Cao in the future; second, it can also take advantage of Qingzhou's military training to add more troops to Xuzhou.
Trouble, don’t let Cao, Liu...or the rear generals become powerful."
"Hmm..." Yuan Shao sighed almost imperceptibly, leaned back on the couch tiredly, and said slowly: "I really didn't expect Cao Mengde to disobey me."
Now is the time to talk about old feelings!
Tian Feng couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart. His face was as dark as water. He sat on the table and bowed slightly as a salute: "Cao Mengde has great ambitions. After winning Yanzhou, it will be difficult to control it. If he wins Xuzhou this time,
, uniting with Yan and Xu to block the north and south is really not a blessing for our army."
Yuan Shao frowned. Although he knew that Tian Feng was like this, he still didn't like Tian Feng's attitude. However, the situation was delicate at the moment, so Yuan Shao tolerated it without getting angry: "I like Xian Si's plan. It shows that he
We have made a lot of progress in Qingzhou. Although we made a mistake in judging the opportunity of fighting, which led to Qu Yi's defeat, no military strategist is ever victorious. As long as the goal is achieved, it is not a big mistake."
Just as he was talking, Yuan Shao's eyes swept over the faces of Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others. Guo Tu's expression did not change and he cupped his hands and said: "What Ming Gong said is that when the eldest son first entered Qingzhou, the only place in the land was Pingyuan.
It was just a county. In just a few months, they attacked Tian Kai in the north, chased Lu Bu in the east, and showed off their troops in the sea. They brought the powerful back to their hearts and the people happily supported them. It is enough to see that the eldest son's mind and strength are worthy of being taught by Ming Gong. From now on, An Ji Qing
Xu, help our army, and Ming Gong will have nothing to worry about."
Guo Tu gave all the credit for Yuan Tan to Yuan Shao, the father. Although Yuan Shao didn't like his eldest son very much, he liked to hear good things, so he smiled proudly: "I also had the same idea, but now it makes sense."
It's just that the governor wants to govern Qingzhou, but his name is not justified and his words are not true. I intend to recommend him as the governor of Qingzhou to manage the military and political affairs of Qingzhou, and Gao Lan, Qu Yi, Cui Juye and others will be under his command."
Yuan Shao had obviously thought deeply about the future of his heirs, and had a rough idea of their arrangements in his mind, which was the time to slowly implement them.
Tian Feng suddenly frowned and put forward a different opinion: "If the eldest son is appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, how should Zang Ziyuan explain it?"
Although Zang Hong, the governor of Qingzhou at this time, was appointed by Yuan Shao, he was not technically a subordinate of Yuan Shao. After Zang Hong was a famous general, he was very famous in the Central Plains. At that time, Suanzao made an alliance and raised troops to challenge Dong.
Bo Jie refused to take the lead and resigned one after another, so they all recommended Zang Hong. Zang Hong also obliged, immediately ascended to the altar, pledged his blood as an alliance, and made an impassioned speech, which made the governors and governors present have different opinions.
I was very excited. Later, due to various reasons and changes in the situation, the leader of the alliance gradually became Yuan Shao, while Zang Hong stayed in the Yuan Shao shogunate due to fate.
At first, Yuan Shao was worried about Zang Hong's reputation and did not dare to neglect. Secondly, because he could not spare any time to deal with Qingzhou, he had to appoint Zang Hong as the governor of Qingzhou and let him open a second battlefield to resist Qingzhou's Tian Kai. Now Yuan Shao is no longer strong.
It was because he was cautious when he first arrived in Jizhou that he was walking on thin ice, and he was deeply afraid of Zang Hong's reputation and strength. This time he got the opportunity and transferred him away.
However, Zang Hong is quite famous after all. He was a loyal man who organized the coalition army back then. Yuan Shao had to spend a lot of time and effort to move him: "I have also thought of Zang Ziyuan's whereabouts. I remember that not long after he went to Qingzhou, Qingzhou
'A group of thieves are running around', which shows his ability to govern the people. Tian Fen recently said that there are still many Yellow Turban thieves in Dongjun, and I plan to let him be appointed as the prefect of Dongjun, govern Dongwuyang, and evacuate the plains from now on."
As soon as these words came out, Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others' eyes lit up and they couldn't help but nod.
Although Tian Fen has the title of being the governor of Yanzhou, he has almost no real power in his hands. Even Dongjun, where the state is located, is governed by Cao Cao's relative, Zhechong Colonel Xiahou Dun, as the prefect. No matter what he does, he is under his control.
Next. Now Yuan Shao is almost about to break with Cao Cao. Dongjun borders Jizhou and is in a critical position, so he naturally wants to take back the power.
"According to reports, Xiahou Dun is currently stationed in Taishan and is not in Dongjun. Zang Ziyuan can take the opportunity to station here for Duke Ming." Guo Tu finished slowly and looked up at Yuan Shao, who seemed to be still immersed in the loss of Cao Cao's betrayal.
Zhong. Guo Tu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Cao Mengde's actions show that this son has great ambitions and will definitely not be willing to be inferior to others in the future! Ming Gong must make plans early and don't miss important events because of old friendship."
"I know." Yuan Shao waved his hand and stared at the half-drunk wine bowl on the table. His tone was calm, as if he was mumbling to himself: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have made all the preparations in Yanzhou..."
