Chapter 340: Father is critically ill and two Yuans fight for the throne
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was so brave that even when faced with an ambush from all sides, he was defeated, let alone Yuan Shao. Within a few months, Yuan Shao was so beaten by Jia Xu that he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and fell ill when he returned to Yecheng.
However, Jia Xu did not take advantage of the situation to attack, because after taking Jizhou, the people of Jizhou would be responsible for Liu Zhang.
Guangzong City was burned, and Yuan's army lost all its supplies. Yuan's soldiers plundered people's food and grass everywhere. Many people who could not survive ran to Liu Zhang's rule. According to intelligence, Jia Xu learned that Chang'an's food stocks were severely depleted, and Jinyang's food and grass were severely depleted.
It's all military rations, no one dares to distribute it to the people without permission
Although there was not enough food and grass, Jia Xu knew Liu Zhang's thoughts well, and he did not ignore the people of Jizhou. Xu Shu won a great victory in Cangting, and his troops pointed directly at Ye City. Jia Xu ordered him to divide his troops into small groups and bypass Ye.
The city patrolled Jizhou. Anyone who found soldiers robbing the people would be killed without mercy.
The people all have a conscience, and they will support whoever is good to them. When Liu Zhang's army, which has no crime in autumn, is compared with Yuan's army, which is like a bandit, the people of Jizhou immediately have a problem. Some counties and counties are more seriously affected by banditry.
, a village elder came to ask Liu Zhangjun to take over. However, Jia Xu, who was worried about insufficient food and grass, politely declined the village elder's request.
The villagers left Liu Zhang's camp with disappointment. They really hoped that Liu Zhang could take over Jizhou. You know, Jizhou is adjacent to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is a famously poor and remote place, but Jizhou is a first-class wealthy state.
However, since Liu Zhang took over Bingzhou, the people of Jizhou suddenly discovered that the people of Bingzhou had become rich, which made their neighbors in Jizhou envious.
Confucius said: When you see the virtuous, you think about them, and when you see the virtuous, you introspect yourself and become virtuous. Since ancient times, they have been interpreted as people who have both ability and political integrity. In fact, it can also be said that they have advantages. The people in Jizhou saw that the lives of the people in Bingzhou were getting better and better, even better than those in Bingzhou.
How could they not consider the reason if they lost themselves? Coupled with the attitude of Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao towards the people, except for the aristocratic families, the people of Jizhou began to move closer to Liu Zhang's side
Of course, credit was also due to Jia Xu and others, who allowed their intelligence agents to infiltrate Jizhou. Some intelligence agents who were originally from Jizhou had relatives and neighbors in the area. These people returned to their hometowns and implemented the policies under Liu Zhang's administration.
It is said that once it is passed down to ten, it will be passed down to a hundred. If the ancients had not resettled the land and relocated, there might have been a mass exodus of people in Jizhou a long time ago.
There are people who do not believe the propaganda of intelligence personnel. You must know that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes were fighting, and the agricultural tax was very heavy. A tax of 50 to 60 per ten was common, and it was even more harsh for Cao Cao's military villages and civilian villages. If we talk about historical
The attitude of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms towards the common people can be said to be worse than life under Yuan Shao's rule, barely surviving under Cao Cao's rule, and only slightly better under Sun Quan's rule. After all, Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and if there are more people, they can still go to Jiaozhou. As for Liu Bei,
It was okay in the early stage, with the foundation laid by Liu Zhang, but in the later stage, I can only use one word to describe it, that is, the noodles are good.
Liu Zhang's intelligence officers went to Jizhou to promote propaganda, and Yuan Shao naturally ordered people to inquire about Liu Zhang's policies. However, Yuan Shao was very puzzled. Liu Zhang spent so much effort to confiscate the land of the wealthy families under his rule and distribute it to the people. In the agricultural tax
However, Liu Zhang only collected taxes ranging from 30 to 20 taxes based on the fertility of the farmland. How could Liu Zhang raise his troops with such a low agricultural tax?
In fact, not only Yuan Shao was confused, but everyone under Liu Zhang was also confused at the beginning. Since ancient times, monarchs have hoped to tie the people to the land, so much that they relied too much on the land, and even developed a fixed mindset without knowing it.
, Land can only feed people, but it cannot make the country prosperous. Liu Zhang took back the land of aristocratic families to the court, not because he wanted to use the land to make a fortune, but because he wanted the people to have land to farm.
Everyone has a field, and naturally everyone has food to eat. As long as they can survive, no one will rebel. When the people are stable, tax revenue and military resources will also be stable. Only when the internal environment is stable can we fight against foreign enemies. To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle the internal affairs.
, just like that. But everyone knows the truth, but they don’t know how to do it.
Jia Xu's early propaganda and Liu Zhang's soldiers were innocent, which made Yuan Jun's situation more and more embarrassing. Even some Yuan soldiers, under the persuasion of their parents and brothers at home, began to leave the army. Those who could not leave, fled secretly. There was a stalemate.
In more than a month, Yuan Junguang killed more than a thousand deserters.
Yuan Shao was several years older than Cao Cao, and nearly twenty years older than Liu Zhang. Already in his fifties, he vomited blood after being defeated several times in a row. When he heard that most of the people in Jizhou supported Liu Zhang, he couldn't help but almost returned to the west.
.Although he did not die, according to doctors, he was already terminally ill.
Ten days later, Yuan Shao became seriously ill and fell into coma several times. Seeing this, Feng Ji knew that time waits for no one, so he immediately called in Shen Pei who was stationed in Ji County to discuss promoting Yuan Shang to the top. Xin Pi also succeeded because of his previous actions.
Having mixed up with Yuan Shang's party, Feng Ji will never forget him.
Unfortunately, Xin Pi was a spy. When he knew that Feng Ji and Shen Pei were going to elect Yuan Shang as the leader of Jizhou, he immediately informed Xin Ping. After Xin Ping got the news, he rushed to Qingzhou. Yuan Tan Dexin immediately mobilized the army and went to Qingzhou.
Yuan Shang came from Yecheng. Yuan Shang was powerful. Yuan Tan was worried that he was no match for him, so he notified Yuan Xi and senior officials in Youzhou.
Gao Gan, Yuan Xizheng was having a great fight with Liu He, but received a notice from Yuan Tan. To be honest, for Yuan Xi, whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, it makes no difference who is the leader of Jizhou. But Yuan Shang is young and young.
Sheng looked down on Yuan Xi, his second brother, but Yuan Tan took great care of Yuan Xi.
Seeing that Yuan Shang did not respect him, although Yuan Xi had no hope of becoming the leader of Jizhou, he would not put his hot face on the other party's cold ass. In this way, Yuan Xi became a member of Yuan Tan's party, and because of this
Although Yuan Shang was favored by Yuan Shao, he never succeeded in seizing the throne. Hearing that Yuan Shao was critically ill, Yuan Shang wanted to seize the throne. Yuan Xi discussed with the senior officials and decided that Yuan Xi would lead 50,000 troops to support Yuan Tan, leaving five
Ten thousand elite soldiers were led by senior cadres, and the stalemate continued with Liu He
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi came with their troops, so they naturally could not hide it from Yuan Shang. In order to prevent the two from delaying his important affairs, Yuan Shang discussed with Feng Ji, the chief of Jizhou, and decided to take advantage of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi before they arrived.
The position was confirmed. Due to discipline, Shen Pei had been following Yuan Shang for a long time and did not want to fail, so he and Yuan Shang came to Yuan Shao's ward. Of course, before coming, Yuan Shang ordered people to basically call Jizhou civil and military officials. It just so happened that at this time
Yuan Shao was actually awake.
"My son, what are you doing here?" Although Yuan Shao was awake, he was unable to speak loudly due to illness. Mrs. Liu, who was sitting next to the couch, saw Yuan Shang and Feng Ji and Shen Pei coming hand in hand, and couldn't help but frown and said:
"Your father is seriously ill. If it's not a life-or-death matter, you can just deal with it yourself. Why bother bothering your father?"
"Mother, it's not that I want to bother my father, but that I can't solve this matter." Yuan Shang smiled bitterly and said, "Although my father loves me very much and once said that he would succeed me as the leader of Jizhou, I am the third child after all, and the two elder brothers are not the same.
They won't listen to my orders. Now, knowing that my father is seriously ill and my two brothers are worried about him, they have already led their troops. I really can't let them retreat..."
"Ah...um..." I don't know if Yuan Shao had a stroke. He made a sound in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was saying. Mrs. Liu put her ear close to Yuan Shao's mouth and kept nodding, as if she could understand what he said.
"Your father said it." When Yuan Shao stopped, Mrs. Liu turned around and smiled and said: "Since you said your name is unfair and your words are inconsistent, from today on, your name will be justified."
"Father, do you want me to succeed Jizhou Mu?" Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he pretended to be wrong: "Although my father has the destiny, the child is the third child after all, and the two elder brothers are not something I can order."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Yuan Shao looked anxious, but could not speak. People who didn't know it thought that he ordered Yuan Shang to do harm to Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.
Mrs. Liu "> brought her head to Yuan Shao's mouth again, pretending to listen for a long time and said: "Your father said that if Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi don't obey orders, they are not his sons."
"Woooo..." Yuan Shao's eyes widened and he looked at Mrs. Liu blankly. Although he liked Yuan Shang the most and often said that he should let Yuan Shang inherit his position, the children of aristocratic families value etiquette first and abolish the eldest and establish the youngest.
Unless the eldest son is really incompetent, it will never happen. Normally, Yuan Shao said this just to please the Liu family, but he never expected that the Liu family would take advantage of his inability to speak and confuse right and wrong.
"My son, have you ever understood what your father meant?" Mrs. Liu glanced at Yuan Shao with infinite coldness in her eyes. She was originally a jealous woman. If Yuan Shao hadn't been there, she would have taken away the concubine beside Yuan Shao.
Kill them all
Just now I heard that Yuan Shao said that he wanted to pass the throne to Yuan Tan, his son from his previous marriage. Mrs. Liu refused to do anything, and simply took advantage of Yuan Shao's inability to speak to help Yuan Shang seize the throne of the Lord of Jizhou. As for Yuan Shaowan,
As soon as she recovered from her illness, Mrs. Liu never thought that a woman would be much more vicious than a man when she started to act cruelly.
"I understand, I'm going to order my two brothers to return to the state." Seeing Madam Liu's expression, Yuan Shang, as her son, how could he not know the fishiness involved.
"Subordinate Resigns" During the trial, Feng Ji felt that Yuan Shao had always been very optimistic about Yuan Shang, so Yuan Shang gained Yuan Shao's approval so easily. The two of them were not surprised, but the expression on Yuan Shao's face made them subconsciously
I think it is dissatisfaction with Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi
"Woo..." Yuan Shao opened his mouth and let out another cry like a poultry dying, but Feng Ji and Shen Pei thought he was urging them and walked faster. As for the others, they just came to witness and see Yuan Shangsan.
They said goodbye, and they also got up and left. The only person who saw through the trick was Xinpi, who was standing at the corner.
After everyone left, Yuan Shao stared at Mrs. Liu with big eyes. Mrs. Liu scolded the maid in the bedroom. The waiter sat in front of the couch, looked at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "Husband, I will serve you for twenty years."
In the year, I gave birth to two sons for you. If you pass the throne to Yuan Tan, you will be worthy of me..."
