Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 621 What's the situation with this vertical child?
Jizhou, since Guangwu was restored to Han, has been the largest state in the north.

Now, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when it comes to the two hard indicators of economy and population, it seems to be able to change the prefix to the whole Han Dynasty.

The reason why Yuzhou was able to replace Yuzhou in the Central Plains to obtain such a status is that, on the one hand, apart from the first Yellow Turban Uprising, Jizhou was rarely affected by wars and devastated by soldiers; on the other hand, it was also the governance of Yuan Shao after replacing Han Fu , It is indeed remarkable, and it is indispensable.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao has gained almost all the "people's hearts" in Jizhou in the true sense. If the gentry and nobles are based on the background of the Yuan family in Runan, then ordinary people are really because of Yuan Shao's personal political achievements. Because Yuan Shao did make them full and warm.

So when I heard that this handsome and kind-hearted "Master Qingtian" was assassinated by murderers, the whole Jizhou immediately fell into a state of indignation after being shocked at the beginning.

This even caused them to be uncharacteristically, even though Yecheng suddenly banned entry and exit, and countless soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys, conducting interrogations on any suspicious people or even houses, disrupting most people's originally peaceful rhythm, unexpectedly It didn't cause much public resentment.

"Master, just check it out."

A country man who was interrogated four times in a short distance did not feel any irritation or dissatisfaction, but said indignantly: "As long as we can find out who is the mastermind as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the inspecting officer was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded heavily.

The people can have such a reaction, which shows that they are in the same hatred, and this result also proves that his general has really won the love and love of the people of Jizhou from the heart, and he is also honored.

Thinking of this, the officer's heart moved, and he asked suddenly: "If it is found out that the mastermind behind the scenes is a prince from other places, such as the Xuzhou Mu Wangzheng who ruled in the south, or Cao Cao, the current emperor's important minister, what do you think we should do?"

"Send troops immediately!"

The village man looked serious, and replied decisively: "Master Zhou Mu's dignity and safety do not allow any offense!"

"No matter who it is, if you dare to offend Lord Zhou, you must be severely punished!"

"Master, you don't have to worry about the lack of food in Youzhou just after the battle. I and many fellow villagers are willing to hand over our family's food and even all our property to support the imperial court, no matter what!"

The hearts of the people are available.
Staring at the retreating back of the countryman, the officer secretly thought with emotion.

Traffickers and pawns can have such an awareness, and some other gentry and gentry naturally dare not lag behind. Not only did they cooperate very much when they were searched, they were also impassioned and made the same statement one after another.

Of course, it is hard to say whether it was forced by the situation or out of sincerity.

Such a variety of similar scenes happened continuously, not only in Yecheng, but also in other nine counties and Baiyi in Jizhou.

And when this information was fed back to the court officials by the Jizhou Army and the Jianjun Division, everyone came to the same judgment almost subconsciously.

From this point of view, the assassination of the lord actually became a good thing in a sense.
Because of this, whenever the Jizhou Army takes military action abroad, it not only has a very good reason, it can be famous, and it can also make the three armies brave and serve the soldiers to death!
The sage said, the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. What is this?
This is Renhe!
Originally, I, Jizhou Huben, was the most powerful army in the world, and now there are people helping each other, and the princes of the world, who is still fighting?

Tian Feng, the first conspirator, immediately wanted to make an admonition to Yuan Shao. Since the people are harmonious and the situation is good, should we consider putting aside Cao Cao and other "little enemies" first, and let's deal with the other one, which is more powerful and more likely Where is the powerful enemy that hinders the lord's hegemony?

It has to be said that Tian Feng's idea is quite in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic plan of "take the world first to be strong and then weak". Unfortunately, his lord is not Zhu Yuanzhang, so he may not obey, let alone listen, Tian Feng even won Yuan Shao's this time. I didn't see each other.

Because he arrived at the General's Mansion in a hurry, he was told one thing by the steward.

The lord is ill.

It wasn't long before everyone knew about it.

Yuan Shao was frightened by the assassination case, and coupled with the cold spring, he accidentally caught wind and cold.

After the medical officer's diagnosis and treatment, although it is said that there is no serious problem, at least he will have to recuperate behind closed doors for a few days, and it is inconvenient to meet outsiders. Therefore, there is no way to participate in the next court meeting, so he has to cancel it.

As the news spread, all the ministers in the court could not help but worry about their lord's health. Yuan Shaozi was majestic and strong, and he seldom got sick.
After worrying, they immediately complained to Yuan Xi secretly.

If it weren't for your family's slack defense, how could an assassin sneak into the wedding banquet smoothly?
In terms of public affairs, you are a courtier, and in terms of private interests, you are a son, not to mention disturbing your father and lord, and even almost causing a catastrophe
This is unfaithful and unfilial!

Although the lord himself didn't say anything, and didn't hold him accountable, keeping silent about this matter is an attitude in itself, and everyone has heard about it. Yuan Shao avoided seeing Zhen Mi's in-laws for the first time as a bride. It can be seen that there is still some dissatisfaction.

At this time, one week after the assassination, the impact was brewing to the maximum. When Yuan Xi was accused by everyone, Qingzhou brought a battle report.

In the spring of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Tan Yao's army in Le'an won a great victory, beheading the enemy general Du Yuan and capturing the eunuch He Kui alive.

He Kui, courtesy name Shulong, was born in the He family of Chenjun. When he was young, he avoided chaos in Huainan, so he became Yuan Shu's subordinate. In the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu was destroyed by the royal government. Among the two, Cao Cao was chosen. Not long after he became an official, he was sent by Cao Cao to Le'an as the prefect because he heard that he had an old relationship with Du Yuan, the commander of Huangjinqu.

Du Yuan's band of Yellow Turbans was originally not from Qingzhou, but from Youzhou, because Gongsun Zan was so good at fighting. After he occupied Youzhou, the Yellow Turbans in the territory would either die or surrender, and the rest would not dare to stay in their hometown anymore. They had no choice but to flee to other places.

In the original history, Du Yuan finally went all the way west, fled to Guannei and became a bandit, and was finally killed by the rebel boy Liao Hua, and gave it to Guan Yu as a meeting gift, but this life is different.

Because when Du Yuan was worrying about the increasingly difficult Bohai Sea, he was suddenly informed by his subordinates that there was a place nearby where he could settle down.

It was Le An.

Because the local forces in Le'an are gone!

Originally entrenched in Le'an was Xu He and Sima Ju's Yellow Turban forces, but because of Wang Zheng's sudden birth, they did not choose to continue dormant in this life, but rose up ahead of time. , Xu He and Sima Ju were defeated and died, and all the trilogy was annexed by the heavenly army.

This led to a blank period of no power in Jinan and Le'an during the Xingping period. After learning about this, Du Yuan was overjoyed and immediately brought his brothers to Le'an to discuss life. Yuan Tan and Cao Cao share control.

Since He Kui and Du Yuan had an old relationship, in Cao Cao's view, this was an opportunity to control Le'an without bloodshed. He Kui did not disappoint Cao Cao's expectations. Yuan returned to surrender Cao Cao.

So today's Le'an, if you only look at the name, since this place is the prefecture of Qingzhou, then Yuan Tan, as the governor of Qingzhou, attacked Le'an, which can be regarded as rectifying the chaos and conquering the lost ground.

But it depends on the actual affiliation. In fact, this is Cao Cao's territory, so even if he wins, he is still good at fighting.
The key point is that most of the civil and military officials in the court did not know about this in advance, even Tian Feng, Xu You and other close officials of Yuan Shao.

Of course, such things have happened before. After all, military operations, everyone knows that if the secret is not kept secret, Yuan Shao will come forward to explain it. Now
Isn't our lord recuperating behind closed doors?
That being the case, everyone can only guess secretly whether the attack on Le'an was Yuan Tan's own initiative, or Yuan Shao's private instruction.

If it is the latter, does it mean that Yuan Shao has decided to go south, even
It is concluded that the mastermind behind the assassination was Cao Cao of Yanzhou?

In such an atmosphere of divergent opinions, Lu Su went back and forth, and arrived in Yecheng for the second time.

It is said to be the second time. In fact, the two are only a few days apart. Of course, there are still differences. For example, the last time Lu Su was the envoy of the envoys, and as the official representative of Zhang Zhao, the governor of Yangzhou, he expressed his sincerity to form an alliance with Yuan Shao. , and at the same time offer a great gift, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

But this time Lu Su was alone.

There is no way, the information about the assassination case can be made to the detectives of the Ben Ming Division, but how to make the most benefit for their own family is not what they can do.

So just as Lu Su was on his way home, he received a letter from Wang Zheng asking him to return to Yecheng.

Lu Su did have such talent and ability. No, when he heard that Yuan Tan had conquered Le'an, Lu Su's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about resting. In the afternoon, he ordered the Ben Ming Division to secretly hide in a courtyard. I made an appointment with Biejia Jushou in Jizhou.

Although he has always been regarded as one of Yuan Shao's eight great advisers, Ju Shou is different from Tian Feng, Xu You and others. He is actually a character with both civil and military skills. It is tough, healthy military commander temperament.

This is also why, as Han Fu's former minister, not Yuan Shao's direct descendants, Ju Shou has always been the person with the highest official position among the counselors, because he is not positioned as a military staff officer, but can be alone, powerful in the three armies, and even The commander of the cavalry charge!
And Jushou was originally the most outstanding talent under Yuan Shao's command. For example, before the decisive battle of Guandu, Cao Cao discussed with his officials how to meet the enemy. Kong Rong opened his mouth and suggested surrender, "You can't fight, you can only make peace." As for the reason, Yuan Shao Wen has many advisers, Wu has Yan Liang, Wen Chou and so on.

Xun Yu immediately refuted, and then uttered Yuan Shao's literary and martial arts all over the place: Tian Fenggang committed crimes (enough IQ, lack of EQ), Xu You was greedy and unwise (too greedy for money, easily blinded by profit), expert in audition but not Conspiracy (too fond of power, no big picture view), useless in the face of discipline (self-willed, accidents will happen sooner or later), Yan Liang and Wen Chou are even more courageous, and the rest of the generation are mediocre people
Finally, let's summarize, Yuan Shao has a team of this level, even if he has millions, what's the point?
It is impossible for a character like Jushou and his performance to be included in the "common people", so it can only show that at the critical moment of boosting his own morale and destroying the enemy's prestige, Xun Yu really can't pick out what he has. Faults and shortcomings, we have to avoid talking about them and skip them.

Such courtiers who can convince the hostile forces in terms of personal ability can only be sure without any negation, military, civil affairs, and even 360-degree characters with no dead ends in their minds. There happens to be one in each of the following three kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Zhou Yu .

And when Lu Su saw Ju Shou in wide-sleeved Confucian uniform for the first time, he couldn't help being surprised, because he almost thought he saw his friend Zhou Yu at first glance.

The appearance of the two is actually completely different, the key is that this kind of elegant dress can hardly conceal the heroism, and the heroism has a wise temperament, it is too similar.

But after the simple politeness and the conversation got to the point, when Lu Su said his intention of coming, the person who was surprised became Ju Shou.

Although Yuan Shao had not taken Jushou's advice several times at this time, and Jushou was dissatisfied and disappointed, the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers was actually quite stable. At least Yuan Shao had not moved Jushou's military power (During the Battle of Guandu, Jushou Still the commander-in-chief of the three armies), under such circumstances, it is impossible for Jushou to have any plans to change his family.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how the Xuzhou forces continue to show favor, Ju Shou is completely unmoved.

Wang Zheng has a bright future, and even judging from some rumors, this son is more like a wise master than Yuan Shao, but can he use me as much as Yuan Shao?

Out of such considerations, when he heard that an important minister had come from Xuzhou, Ju Shou didn't want to see him at first.

After changing my mind, I still decided to come, just to make it clear: I, Ju Shou, am not a betrayer, so please don't harass me anymore!

But he never expected that Lu Su came here not to be a lobbyist for surrender, but instead brought up a very unexpected topic.

"My lord heard that Yuan Gong wanted to attack Cao within the year, and he was deeply worried, so he specially ordered me to come down to Ye to meet Ju Jun, and to advise against sending troops."

If I don't want to fight Cao Cao, how can I fight? What's the matter with Guanqing?
Jushou just had a fit of slander in his heart, but unexpectedly, the reason Lu Su said next surprised him even more.

"The reason for this is that Yuan Gong is strong and Cao is weak. If this is the case, the way to defeat the enemy is to seek the kingly way and fight steadily. Dispatch the elite cavalry, and copy them to their borders, so that they will not be at ease, and I will take the rest, and after a year or so at most, Cao's army will be exhausted, so that Cao's bandits will perish without a fight!"

I go
Ju Shou was dumbfounded: what's the matter with this scorpion?
Why is this idea exactly the same as mine?
