There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

This legendary ghostly prodigal son is too good at flattering his feet. Wouldn't it be better to just say that the Montenegrin Army "has gone through three generations, the country is in danger and the people are rich"?

Bai Rao saw that the two godsons of Yuan Shao were talking more flatteringly than the other. Although he knew that there was some suspicion of flattery in it, he heard the word "comfortable" in his ears!

No wonder Yuan Shao wanted to adopt the two of them as godsons. After all, it made some sense. If Lao Tzu also adopted the two adopted sons in the future, he would have to find such a handsome and talkative son!

Comfortable.

Chapter 161 Yuan of the Old Order, Cao of the New Order

The potter and Guo Jia, one in front of the other, praised Bai Rao's whole body, wanting to stop.

"Hey, the two young masters have praised you absurdly. Mr. Bai absolutely dare not take this good comment. Mr. Tao, although Mr. Bai knows that you two are the righteous sons of Mr. Yuan, I don't know what your identities are?"

The potter pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and decided to tell the truth.

"My righteous brother, whose surname is Guo Mingjia, and whose name is Fengxiao, is from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. He came from the Yuan family in Runan, after hearing his name, he personally visited him and talked with him at night by candlelight, and was amazed by his talent, so he cherished him very much, so he was specially adopted as a good son."

Guo Jia was very happy when he heard Tao Shang's praise of himself, but when he heard the last sentence, his face turned dark.

What does it mean to be specially accepted as a good son? !

The pottery merchant didn't look at Guo Jia either, but continued to introduce himself in a gentle manner: "As for me, to be honest, my father is Tao Shijun, the governor of Xuzhou, and I'm Tao Shang, the eldest son of Tao Jun's knee. , and Yuan Gong made an oath and formed a fate. Yuan Gong saw that Tao was smart, cute, lively, and liked him very much. For the future plan of Yuan and Tao to support the Han Dynasty, he made an exception and adopted me as his adopted son."

Guo Jia was listening beside him, feeling a little angry in his heart.

When you adopted me, you were a good son, but now you are an adopted son?

Bai Rao was a little silent when he heard this.

His eyes gradually became stern, and he said hoarsely: "You are the son of Xuzhou Tao Qian, aren't you the one who led the troops to defeat the Baibo army?"

Seeing that Bai Rao's eyes became fierce and his complexion became gloomy, Xu Huang was startled suddenly, looked around deeply, and then quietly tilted his body towards his mountain-breaking axe.

The potter was not in a hurry at all, the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army also issued yellow scarves, and Bai Rao's performance was as far as he expected.

Even if he knew it would annoy Bai Rao, at this moment, the potter must tell the truth.

"Precisely, the Baibo army disrespected the imperial court, repeatedly invaded counties and counties, and even committed the crime of intimidating the capital of the Han Dynasty. Their behavior has become unacceptable in the world. Besides, Guo Da is just a reckless idiot, how can he be qualified to be the commander-in-chief of a party? Both Zhang Pingnan and Bai Dashuai are members of the imperial court. Even if they were colleagues with Baibo in the past, that is just a matter of the past. If Guo Da had half the strength and vision of Zhang Pingnan, he would not be where he is today. End, Marshal Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Rao blinked, the anger in his heart subsided, and he began to ponder.

He thought to himself, although the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army belong to the same clan, but Zhang Yan repeatedly recruited Guo Da and others to come, but Guo Da insisted on refusing to do so. It was just because he was also ambitious and wanted to establish his own family. .

In the future, once the Baibo army becomes big, it will not be good for the Black Mountain army. In this Hebei border, there is enough for the Black Mountain army.

Thinking of this, Bai Rao put away the gloom just now, smiled, and said, "Mr. Tao said that Guo Dazhi is just a pedantic idiot, and death is a matter of course! Several years ago, Bai expected that he would have what he has today." It's time!"

Guo Jia listened to the conversation between the potter and Bai Rao and did not respond.

He didn't have the bargaining chip of a pottery merchant, but he came here by mistake alone. At this moment, he still doesn't know the methods and routines of this Mr. Tao.

And according to Guo Jia's calculations, if he wanted to leave here, he would have to rely on the power of Mr. Tao to leave safely.

Although the ghosts usually have a lot of tricks and eloquence, but at critical moments, especially when they don't have a bargaining chip in their hands, it is easy to damage themselves by saying one more word. Military power is a natural moat filled with ingenuity.

Guo Jia would never talk nonsense at such a critical time.

It is better to be silent than a thousand pieces of gold, just wait and see what happens.

Bai Rao also has his plans in mind at this moment.

Yuan Shao rose rapidly in Jizhou in a short period of time and became a rare powerful force north of the Yellow River, but no one can tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Black Mountain Army.

This is also the reason why Bai Rao didn't dare to offend Yuan Shao's "god sons" easily.

The real purpose of this meal is actually to find out.

"Mr. Tao, now that Yuan Jizhou has replaced Han Fu and occupied Ye City, then the next step, I don't know why Yuan Gong should plan for the world? What strategy does Yuan Gong have for our Heishan Army?" Bai Rao finally started the conversation at this moment Got to the point.

The potter was at a loss for words for a while, he had expected that Bai Rao would bring the topic to this point, but he didn't come up with a good set of excuses.

Undoubtedly, if he said that Yuan Shao had no malice towards the Black Mountain Army, it would be completely unrealistic, and Bai Rao would not believe it.

Fundamentally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao to come together.

The Black Mountain Army in history helped Gongsun Zan fight against Yuan Shao in the early stage, and then turned to Cao Cao when Cao Cao pacified the four states in the later stage, but they and Yuan Shao have never dealt with each other. Since Yuan Shao gained a firm foothold in Hebei, the two sides have been fighting fiercely. non-stop.

It's not that the two sides are at odds, but that their positions make it impossible for them to stand in the same camp.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's starting capital relied on the deep connections of the four generations and three princes. The old order made these two troubled freaks representing the old system.

They are completely different from Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao started his family, except for the gentry of Yingchuan Academy, the other gentry of Yanzhou and Yuzhou didn't pee at him at all.

Therefore, Cao Cao had no choice but to change his strategy. He took the newly-emerged small tyrants as the axis, and then used a large number of children from poor families to use them according to their ability. new era order.

This is also impossible. Cao Cao's political influence in the old system of gentry groups is insufficient, and his reputation and capital make him have to abandon the old system.Only by suppressing the old aristocrats and opening up a new way of distributing rights can he develop his own power. If he also develops with the old gentry as the center as the fundamental system, then Cao Cao will always be a wolf for Yuan Shao of.

But to find another way, you need to pay a huge price.

In history, when Cao Cao first entered Yanzhou, in order to suppress the old-system gentry, he knocked the mountain and shook the tiger, and killed Bian Rang, the representative of the old-system gentry in Yanzhou.

Bian Rang, like Kong Rong, was a well-known celebrity at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He became famous because of a chapter of Huafu. The old Situ Yangci and the general He Jin all promoted him because of his status in the gentry. Yilang Cai Yong also admired him very much. It can be said that Bian Rang is the golden signboard of the old nobles in Yanzhou.

After an eunuch like Cao Cao, no matter in terms of status or personal interests, he was incompatible with Bian Rang everywhere.

Even though he confronted Cao Cao overtly and secretly, Cao Cao was not used to him, and he would kill him directly without doing anything.

However, the bitter result of Bian Rang's death was that the old system gentry who were in charge of Yanzhou's economy and lifeline had a resistance to Cao Cao.

In their hearts, Cao Cao is a person who came to destroy the old order in Yanzhou!

Later, when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou and Lu Bu came to attack Yanzhou, Chen Gong, a native of Dongjun, and Zhang Miao, a native of Dongping County, directly united all the nobles and nobles in Yanzhou in order to maintain the old order of the nobles in Yanzhou. Welcome Lu Bu to settle in Yanzhou.

The personal relationship between Chen Gong and Zhang Miao and Cao Cao is not bad, it can even be said to be very good, but Cao Cao's behavior after entering Yanzhou, especially the behavior of sticking and killing while giving way, is obviously touching them. The vital interests of the old powerful group.

In the face of interests, all friendship and friendship are bullshit.

After Lü Bu entered Puyang, before he could attack other counties, the 73 counties of the six major counties in Yanzhou turned against each other almost overnight. Cao Cao's power in Yanzhou was invaded by Lv Bu, a foreigner, and only three counties remained!

Lu Bu was so happy that he was going to explode, it was like picking it up for nothing.

Being able to achieve this is not because of Lu Bu's ability to fight, but because of the disastrous consequences brought about by the counterattack of the representatives of Yanzhou's old powerful system.

If Cao Cao, who didn't rely on the old system's family, was harmed like this, let alone Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was completely different from Cao Cao. He himself was the representative of the old aristocratic order, and almost all the people who supported Yuan Shao were the aristocratic families who maintained the old order. Yuan Shao's achievements were inseparable from them.
