"Nowadays, as a politician, there must be a hall where he can issue orders." [Reconstruction of Chengdu Fuxue]
In order to make up for it, Gongsun Zan specially ordered people to chase him to pay compensation and express his gratitude. Although he did not take the initiative to admit that he was wrong in killing Wen Shu, he was also out of reward for his filial piety. He treated Wen Hui particularly well and said that he would no longer embarrass himself. Wen Hui disdained these overtures.
Gu, taking advantage of the opportunity, simply packed up his luggage with Sun Li, Luo Feng, Lu Yu and others, and soon left Zhuojun and headed south, entering the Zhongshan Kingdom of Jizhou and heading west to Taihang.
This incident caused a stir in Hebei, and everyone knew that Gongsun Zan's reputation plummeted, his tribe was alienated, and his power was at its weakest in recent years.
Seeing this, the Jizhou camp also began to be eager to try. They spoke to Yuan Shao and took the opportunity to conquer Gongsun Zan.
"The tiger is injured, but it is still a tiger, so we have to treat it with caution." Yuan Shao stroked the hilt of the sword with one hand on his waist, and said lightly: "Gongsun Zan's strength is not damaged, and his reputation is nothing to him.
This is not how you start your career."
"Ming Gong Ruijian." Tian Feng said calmly: "They only know how to cater to their superiors and conquer Gongsun, but they don't know that the difficulties involved are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The damage to their reputation alone is not enough to destroy the enemy with one blow, and they have to do something else.
Try to make the powerful and powerful people in Youzhou who are still waiting on the sidelines come to our side completely."
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Well, many people have written to me in recent days. When the time comes, Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu and other counties will be able to move forward. As far as Wuhuan, Xianbei and other counties outside the Great Wall,
There are also many people in the tribe who hate Gongsun and will also help me."
"Speaking of which, the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other tribes outside the Great Wall elected Yan Rou as the captain to protect Wuhuan, hoping to let him lead the Xianbei and other Hu soldiers." Tian Feng suddenly asked: "But you don't know the public will?"
"Yan Rou grew up among the barbarians. Although she is a Han, she is a barbarian at heart. How can Wuhuan trust these Xianbei people? But compared with Gongsun Zan who blindly kills foreigners, they need them more.
He is just a person who is close to Huairou." Yuan Shao has extraordinary vision, but he can only make very insightful comments on matters that have nothing to do with him: "Xing Ju, the captain of the Wuhuan School who protected Wuhuan, fought against the Qiang with the 'Sanming'.
Such a tough person, Yan Rou dares to replace him with the help of an outsider, huh."
The taciturn Jushou advised him at the right moment: "Now that Duke Ming, the powerful Youzhou, and the barbarians outside the Great Wall are all enemies of Gongsun Zan, they all want to work together to get rid of them. For this plan, since Yan Rou is quite popular with Xianbei, it might as well be
Let’s appease the hypocrites and the snakes for the time being. After the big enemy is eliminated, it will not be too late to start taking action again.”
Yuan Shao nodded slightly. He had just expressed disdain for Yan Rou's stance, but he still knew how to make the right choice when it came to the two matters of 'righteousness' and 'benefit': "Go get my seal and worship him.
For Wuwan Sima, we will lure Wuwan, Xianbei and other tribes. Let them send out troops to fight a battle this autumn. Next spring, we will raise a large army together."
Guo Tu interjected regretfully from the side: "If it hadn't been for the sudden attack of locusts and the grain harvest in Wei County had failed, our army could have mobilized troops this autumn, so why wait until next year?"
"The migratory locusts, the drought, and the scourge are all the fault of the country's lack of morality." Yuan Shao gently tapped the jade stone inlaid on the hilt of his sword with his thumb, and sighed: "It is the people everywhere who are suffering."
Guo Tu's eyebrows were also quite worried, and he suddenly said: "I heard that when a disaster happened, the country did not think about introspection and cultivate virtue, but instead set up a prison and searched for Guanzhong. Now the traffic in Guanzhong is cut off, the news cannot be reached, and we don't know where it is.
What a scene it is."
This time Yuan Shao was placed in Guanzhong to spy on the court situation, and the people who spread rumors were uprooted, making it difficult for him to receive the court's movements in a timely manner, which would have a profound impact on his future predictions. Yuan Shao was already troubled by this matter,
Listening to Guo Tu's words, he couldn't help but show a bit of sadness on his face, and said insincerely: "There has been a drought for several months, and there has been no rain. How can it be better, no matter how good it is?"
"What Ming Gong said is true." A native of Wei County, Zhizhong Biejia Shenpei said: "I heard that Henan, Hanoi and other counties are following the example of Guanzhong and implementing locust eradication, relief and other measures, which are quite effective. Why don't we wait here?
Hebei also followed this method to get rid of locusts as soon as possible."
"The locusts flew over from Guanzhong!" Yuan Shao snorted and said contemptuously: "It can be seen that the imperial court itself cannot control it, and this method may not have much effect. It is just doing the best for personnel. The most important thing is to match the virtuous people.
."
Guo Tu understood what he meant and hurriedly said: "My Lord is wise, but as long as there are virtuous people, there is no reason for heaven to bring disasters again? It only calls for the removal of locusts, but it only treats their skin and flesh. If you want to eradicate them, you still have to hit the target.
."
"Then what is the key?" Tian Feng suddenly asked with great interest.
Guo Tu was choked for a moment. He noticed that Yuan Shao was also looking at him with expectations in his eyes. Guo Tu knew that in this situation, he could no longer allow him to act stupid and act dumb, which would disappoint Yuan Shao. He could not immediately express his position, and in the end he could not let go
After Tai. thought about it for a while, he finally made a decision and replied: "When things happen in Youzhou and Yanzhou, and Duke Ming sits on the land of the four states in Hebei, this 'key point' can be dealt with calmly."
This answer was a tactful expression of support for Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was well aware of the cautious concerns of scholars at times, so he smiled indifferently and said: "That's true! Only when you have great power can you rectify the world and maintain stability.
To the people’s ability!”
"Yanzhou has been preparing for many days, and now that it has been accomplished, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. The only powerful force that Gongsun Zan relies on is the righteous cavalry under his command. They come and go with great speed and are unpredictable." Guo Tu struck while the iron was hot and immediately changed the subject:
"I'm going to nail this fish to the chopping board right now, and then I can easily scrape off the scales and bones, and let me fill it up."
"It's a good job of scraping the scales and removing the bones." Yuan Shao said with his palms: "I don't know how to find out?"
Guo Tujin said: "I have a plan here, which can make Gongsun Zan only retreat and not dare to advance."
Youzhou, Yijing.
On top of the tall building, a child's voice was loud and clear, like a song or a complaint:
"Yan Nan Chui, Zhao Bei Ji, the difference between the two is as great as the steel, only one can escape from the world." The boy sang this for the twelfth time, but the middle-aged general sitting at the top did not speak, and he did not dare to
He stopped without permission. He looked longingly at the sweet cakes on the plate, swallowed quietly, and opened his mouth to sing again: "Yan"
"Okay." Gongsun Zan smiled and waved his hand, looked at the child he brought back from the street, and asked in a deep voice: "How old are you?"
The child counted on his fingers and said, "It seems to be almost six years old."
"Six years old is good." Gongsun Zan nodded, but he didn't say what was good about it. Instead, he said casually: "In another year or two, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter this camp."
The child ignored him and still stared at the plate of pastries.
So Gongsun Zan pointed with his hand and said: "Take it and eat it, and I will send someone to send three measures of millet seeds to your house."
At this time, Chang Shi Guanjing, sworn brothers Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang and others entered one after another. When Gongsun Zan saw it, he ordered the child to sing the song to everyone again, and then asked: "This is a nursery rhyme that has been sung in the village recently. What is the so-called
Nursery rhymes can help the ears and eyes of saints. There must be signs of good or bad in them. I have been thinking hard about them. Today, you are here. I wonder if you can teach me?"
