Chapter 234, Fang Guang's exclusive knowledge of people
The top people in the Eastern Han Dynasty still liked to share their food. Hot pot and shochu were a perfect match. This principle was developed thousands of years ago, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Boss Cao drank wine and cooked the meat until his face was covered with oil and sweat. Although the turtles of later generations lived a long life, they were almost ahead of their time in literature and history.
Guo Jia arrived late, and he liked drinking and eating meat the most. Feng Xiao was close to Fang Guang, so he simply put his own pot on the table in front of Fang Guang.
Everyone watching couldn't help but think of Till.
After having enough wine and food, the servant brought wet silk to wipe his hands and face. Cao Cao's face turned red and he looked at the empty wine cup in front of him and admired it.
"Datong, I didn't expect that the pre-Qin Guigu lineage had wine making!"
"This wine is my favorite after drinking it all over the world. From now on, it will be brewed in the workshop and delivered to my house at twenty jars per month. It is indispensable."
"Datong, this wine is indeed extraordinary. My nephew and I don't dare to compare with our lord. Ten jars of it are indispensable."
"Datong, I want it too. One jar a day, okay? Look at me, I have a big belly and I drink more than my lord. My lord won't blame me."
Cao Cao and Xu Chu praised the wine, and even Xun Yu and Xun You were full of praise and asked for it.
Today is the day when the boss officially resides in Sikong. When everyone is drunk and full of wine, they naturally start talking about world affairs.
Before Cao Cao came to Fang Guang's residence, he had already dispatched fast horses to travel to various parts of the world to inform the princes with the letter of the emperor's entry into Xuchang.
Even Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui brothers, and Boss Cao's express delivery didn't forget to deliver it.
The meaning of the document naturally hopes that all the state pastors in the world will go to Xuchang to meet the emperor.
But even Cao Ying's cook knew that Kyushu had been divided for a long time, and he was afraid that not one of the ten people would be willing to come to Xuchang with just a letter.
The envoys sent to deliver the message were all top-notch dead soldiers. Cao Cao relied on himself, so it was not easy for him to come back alive.
Talking about the princes of the world, Xun Yu, whose face was red from drinking, showed his noble demeanor and spoke slowly.
"My lord, all the heroes in the world have gathered together. In my opinion, the one who is willing to accept your lord's letter is the only one who can be granted the title of Grand Lieutenant or General of the Dynasty by Your Majesty!"
"The rest of the people may not be able to obey the order. My new friend in Datong, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Bofu, has great ambitions. This time, I am afraid that my new friend in Datong will break up in less than half a month."
Xun Yu made fun of Fang Guang. Although there was not much malice, it still made everyone laugh.
Cao Cao even choked on his drink and coughed loudly.
Fang Guang knew that the emperor had newly arrived in Xuchang and was having a gambling fight outside the city. Xun Wenruo had changed his strategy of getting along with him.
Fang Guang smiled softly and shook his head. With one sentence, the smiles of everyone in the tent immediately disappeared from their faces.
"I don't agree with even a single word of what Wen Ruo said!"
"The emperor's edict, Xuchang's message, and the people in the world who are willing to obey the edict, in my opinion, Sun Ce is the only one. The fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze actually has loyalty in his heart. He is not as fierce as you can see!"
"On the other hand, Yuan Benchu, even though he has won the position of Taiwei and General, he will only become more resentful towards his lord. Gongsun Zan will be defeated within three months!"
"Qingyou and Hebei merged with the four prefectures, and all fell into Yuan Shao's hands. How many more than a million people were in charge of armor in Hebei?"
"Yuan Shao was of a narrow temper. He could tolerate his lord at that time, but now, he may not be able to tolerate it anymore. Millions of soldiers are coming from the south. The emperor already knows the benefits, but he should guard against the backlash!"
"Lü Bu is eyeing Yanzhou, Liu Biao is making an alliance with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu has always despised the lord. The four sides are attacking, and the lord can rely on the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong."
Fang Guang speculated that he was absolutely different from Xun Yu. This was a conclusion drawn from his two life experiences and his analysis of Sun Ce's character traits.
When he said it at this time, it sounded like he was going to die without making a surprise. Even Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were stunned with red faces.
The person in the hall who knew Yuan Shao the most was Cao Cao. Fang Guang agreed with Yuan Shao's judgment, but Sun Ce was not a person who could submit to Xuchang just by looking at it.
"Datong, you are being too arbitrary. Regardless of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao is also considered a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Even if he does not join Xuchang, his envoys will definitely bring him."
"Why do I hear what you are saying? My lord is serving the emperor to order the princes, but it is like setting yourself on fire?"
Although Cheng Yu was now close to Fang Guang and had doubts in his heart, he still told everything.
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, turned around and looked at his friend.
"Zhongde, you are wrong. I know Liu Biao very well. Although he is known as the Eight Horsemen, Xiangyang also recruits scholars from Luoyang Academy and is known as Jingxiang Academy."
"Actually, he lives in a corner and has no intention of obeying the emperor. Liu Biao has always had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, and even secretly communicated with Yuan Shu!"
"My lord wants to pass through Wancheng and attack Zhang Xiu. This person is a big trouble. It is Sun Ce and Datong. I think you have made a mistake."
Guo Jia half agreed with Fang Guang's words and coincided with what Cao Cao was thinking. Fang Guang just smiled and shook his head, refusing to take back his words.
For a time, everyone was talking about it, but Cao Cao made the decision and ordered Hua Xin to go to Soochow as an envoy in front of the Emperor's throne.
With the emperor's order and the letter from Fangguang, Sun Ce was asked to lead troops westward to the Lujiang River to contain Liu Biao.
If Sun Ce follows it, then Fang Guang's words are true. If he doesn't, then everyone is right. The tigers east of the Yangtze River are not the things in the pond.
That night, at Fang Guang's mansion, the banquet lasted until the third watch, and everyone dispersed.
In the following month, everything in Yuzhou was growing. The land outside Xuchang City was lush and green, and the wheat and bean seedlings were ripening under the influence of chemical fertilizers, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Compared with the wheat and soybean seedlings, although the rice grown by Fang Guangli also grew gratifyingly, it looked much sparser.
Xun You changed the habit of not being close to farmers and mulberry trees. He galloped his horse in the fields every day to patrol. He believed that he had defeated Shi Tao and liked it very much.
Cao Cao has a serious problem, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu.
Fang Guang, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia all urged Ming Gong to go to Wancheng first. Outside Xuchang City, Cao Jun's elite troops camped for dozens of miles, waiting for military orders to go south.
Cao Cao has not mobilized troops since he was waiting for the receipt of the letter. Neither he nor Fang Guang knew that his drunken behavior completely changed the overall situation of the world.
Youzhou, the land of Yi Jing.
Just as Fang Guang said, Gongsun Zan did not survive until the year 199 recorded in the history books.
In this world, Fang Guang defeated Zang Hong, which actually indirectly helped Yuan Shao avoid the suffering of the southern expedition.
Yuan Junwu had no worries about his future and made all-out efforts in the Northern Expedition. Finally, on the same day that Emperor Xian entered Xuchang, he invaded Yijing.
In the raging fire, Gongsun Zan, the former commander of the White Horse Yi Cong and Liu Bei's good classmate, laughed and died in the sea of fire.
Just when Yuan Shao was full of energy and felt that the general trend of the world was already under control, he received a letter from Xuchang on the day he joined forces in Yecheng.
Cao Cao, Fang Guang, and Guo Jia were not mistaken about Yuan Benchu.
Yuan Shao himself did not want to save the emperor, and he could not bear to see others controlling Xian Emperor.
Seeing the position of Taiwei and General, this middle-aged man, who had always been solemn and unsmiling, rarely got excited, and with a sinister smile, he tore up the letter sent by his friend.
"Cao Cao should have died several times, but I saved him and kept him alive. How dare you betray your kindness now? Will the emperor order me?"
