There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shu couldn't understand Sun Jian's hiding of the jade seal, but he didn't want to lose this vassal because of it, so he guessed that he had leaked the news to himself by beating around the bush. Completely opposed to Sun Jian!

After thinking about this matter, Yuan Shao couldn't help but start to expand the matter

Thinking back carefully, I remember that when I first entered Luoyang a few days ago, I was afraid that the emperor would be in the hands of Dong Zhuo and would become a hindrance to the princes in the future, so I proposed to Yuan Shu to make Liu Yu, a relative of the Han clan, as emperor.

Yuan Shu refused on the spot!

Thinking about it now, this guy must be afraid that he has the power to support the emperor and overwhelm him to become the leader of the Yuan family, so he strongly opposes it!Now he is taking advantage of Sun Jian's hiding of the jade seal to plot against him, and it is clear that he has different ambitions. This is no longer a matter of brotherhood and disharmony.

Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had grudges in the early years because of their rivalry in the family. As they got older, the more things happened, the more grudges they had. It was only a matter of time before they turned their faces!

"Hey!" Yuan Shao thumped his right palm heavily with his left fist, and said slowly, "Good man, how dare you play tricks on me like this!"

I don't know if it's the one who scolded Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, or both.

Seeing that the fire was ripe, the pottery merchant said, "Leader, to be honest, although you and the general later are brothers, they are in fact opposites. Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang, and sooner or later he will seek me in Xuzhou, so my idea is to form an alliance with Yuan Gong." Alliance, stand on the united front! It is I who let Xuzhou have something to rely on in this troubled world. If the leader agrees, Xuzhou Tao will be the leader's vassal. So I said, the more stable and safe Xuzhou is, the better it is for the leader. Not wrong, right?"

"Oh? Mr. Tao actually has such a heart?" Yuan Shao looked at the pottery merchant playfully. The meaning in his eyes was very complicated. It's not far away when we turn our faces and break up.

Yuan Shao knew it in his heart, and the pottery merchant knew it better than him.

It is recorded in later generations that after the coalition of feudal lords disbanded the alliance against Dong, the Yuan brothers fought a short-term battle for hegemony due to many reasons such as emperor establishment, family, different ambitions, and geography. Most of the heroes supported Yuan Shao, and of course it was only verbal. online support; and only a few people actually participated in it.

Among them, Yuan Shu united with Sun Jian, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan; Yuan Shao united with Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others.

In this short-term struggle between the two Yuans, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou in history, stood by Yuan Shu's side, hugging Yuan Shu's thighs and opposing Yuan Shao;

But the results of the facts proved that Tao Qian's vision in the team was no different from being blind

First, Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, died in the hands of Liu Biao's general Huang Zu.

Then Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zan's younger brother, died in battle again. General Qu Yi of Yuan Shao defeated Baima Yicong and beheaded General Yan Gang. He lost his temper at all, and ran back to Youzhou in a hurry.

As for Tao Qian, he set up troops to respond to Yuan Shu's intimidation of Yuan Shao, but was beaten into a dog by the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!In the following year, when Cao Cao used this as an excuse to attack Tao Qian, he massacred civilians in Xuzhou and killed hundreds of thousands of men and women in Surabaya.

Yuan Shu himself suffered consecutive defeats.

In this long-standing short-term confrontation between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu, apart from defeating Yuan Yi and Zhou Ang, Yuan Shu basically failed to win a single battle.

And Tao Qian also completely offended Cao Cao and Yuan Shao because of this stupid standing in line, so that later Cao Cao repeatedly sent troops to Xuzhou to massacre civilians

Chapter 82 Commitment

Yes!In history, Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian and massacred Xuzhou soldiers and civilians to avenge his father, but it was another later event. Cao Cao had already bloodbathed Xuzhou before the Cao Song incident.

Cao Cao at that time was completely different from now. He had no concern for the country and the people at all. He didn't blink his eyes when he massacred civilians. , also completely lost the immature and self-willedness of the present, transformed into a mature man, and became the famous little overlord of Jiangdong.

Can a dead father really reinvent a person?

The tragic event of Xuzhou being massacred, potters will certainly not let it repeat itself in history.Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to get close to Yuan Shao. As for Tao Qian, when he returned to Xuzhou later, the pottery merchant would explain to Tao Qian in detail.

But if Tao Qian refused to enter, and still stubbornly insisted on going the same way as Yuan Shu, the potter didn't know if he would be reformed as well.

"Unite with me?" Yuan Shao finally opened his mouth slowly: "Speaking of which, Xuzhou of your Tao family seems to be geographically closer to the highway. With such a strong neighbor by your side, why would Mr. Tao ask for help?" If Yuan shows his kindness, you won't be afraid of causing troubles in the future, and you won't be able to live a peaceful life?"

The potter said in his heart that the best way for me to live a peaceful life is to kill you one by one now, the problem is really impossible.

The Tao merchant sighed, and said with a light smile: "It is precisely because of the strong neighbors that Tao wants to join forces with Mr. Yuan even more. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are all invincible. How can my father and son sleep with them? Xuzhou is in the midst of the Fourth World War. The land cannot be settled in one corner, and when I saw what Yuan Shu did, he betrayed Sun Jian mercilessly. He is not a righteous person. Compared with Yuan Gong, his character is not at 01:30 points. On the one hand, he is a hero in the world. On the one hand, there are wolves, tigers, and leopards, so it is only natural to choose Yuan Gong."

The Tao merchant's words really spoke to Yuan Shao's heart, and speaking from his heart, Yuan Shao just likes others to say that his younger brother Yuan Shu is not as strong as himself!As a concubine, he was adopted by his father Yuan Feng to his uncle Yuan Cheng since he was a child. Grandma Yuan Shao didn't kiss or love his uncle.And Yuan Shu was always proud of his ancestral lineage, and he was quite critical of Yuan Shao's parentage in private, thinking that he was just a domestic slave born of a concubine.

It is not without reason that the brothers became like this, at least when Sikong and Yuan Feng were alive, they did not do a good job in educating children, at least the bowl of water was not leveled so that the seeds of the gap were born between the two brothers when they were young. was buried.

Yuan Shao suddenly opened his mouth and asked the Tao merchant, "According to Mr. Tao, the Han dynasty is in decline today. The emperor was imprisoned by Dong thief when he was young, and all the edicts were issued by Dong thief. The people in the world are in dire straits. Liu Yu, Marquis of Xiangben, is the emperor? How do you feel?"

The pottery sneered.

Yuan Shao saw that the emperor was taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, and rescue was nowhere in sight, so he might as well establish a new emperor so that he could control it more easily!

If you set up one today, another prince will set up another one in the future, how many emperors will emerge in the world?Is there any salvation in this world?Back then, you, Yuan Shao, told He Jin that you would mobilize powerful generals from all directions and lead the troops to the capital, which made Dong Zhuo enter the capital. This has already caused chaos in the world. Now you want to play such a trick of setting up a new monarch to sing against Dong Zhuo. You've had enough trouble.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Yu in history didn't live or die as the emperor, so what if Tao just said something nice to deal with you?

"Mr. Yuan's method is indeed a good strategy to rejuvenate the country. Now there is a young monarch in Chang'an in name, but it doesn't count, and the officials below Gongqing are flattering the old thief Dong Zhuo. The current important thing is to send troops to guard Guanjin. Let the old thief Dong Zhuo exhaust himself and die in the fortress. And Yuan Gong will set up another sage in the east, so the time of peace is just around the corner." The potter said this against his will, and he almost vomited.

Yuan Shao once disclosed this matter to a few people among the princes who he considered to be his confidantes, but all he got were ambiguous and perfunctory answers, including Cao Cao who disagreed, which made Yuan Shao feel very depressed.

Unexpectedly, the first person who sincerely agreed with him and offered advice for him was actually this young master of the Tao family. Yuan Shao felt mixed feelings in his heart at the moment.

This child is really a gentleman and a virtuous minister in troubled times, good man, big drop!

"Okay! Mr. Tao is really sincere to Shao. The next day, please return to Xuzhou and tell your father Tao Gongzu your interests. From now on, our two families will depend on each other, and Shao will never owe each other."

The potter made a bow to Yuan Shao: "Ming Gong is wise."

During the conversation, he had already changed his name from the leader of the alliance just now to Duke Yuan, and at this moment, it was changed to Duke Ming again.

The potter was so moved by his good intentions that he was about to cry.

Yuan Shao was in a good mood at this moment, he stretched out his hand and patted the potter's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao is far-sighted at a young age, and he is sure to have a bright future in the future. No wonder Meng De and you are so friendly. He is a wonderful person, hahahaha."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Tao Shang couldn't help but feel relieved, and asked again: "What about Xu Rong, the leader? How do you plan to deal with me?"

Yuan Shao waved his hand grandly, and his words seemed full of pride: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about, then Xu Rongai will do whatever he wants, and I will give you the full power. With Yuan here, who dares to say that you are not right? I will peel off his three layers of skin .”

The person surnamed Yuan is really domineering, he just said he wanted to talk to me.

The potter bowed his hands to thank him, and said gratefully: "So, thank you Minggong. By the way, there is one more thing. If Minggong doesn't want to solve it, it will not be beautiful."

Yuan Shao knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and said indifferently: "Young Master Tao, you want to talk about the settlement of Wang Situ and other ministers?"

The pottery merchant nodded, and said: "That's true. These people want to stay under Duke Ming's account, but it's a burden to keep them. If they don't take them in, they fear they will tarnish their name. It's really difficult. Duke Ming will deal with them. Be cautious."

Yuan Shao snorted softly, and said dissatisfied: "You brought him back, how dare you say so?"

The potter's face suddenly became embarrassed: "I'm causing you trouble."

Yuan Shao rolled his eyes: "You have indeed caused me trouble, and it's still not a small trouble."

"Tao is ashamed."

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, and said, "What's the use of being ashamed? Wang Yun is almost blocking Yuan's door to seek justice with me. There must be a reason to send him away."

The pottery merchant stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, it's not impossible."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao suddenly became interested when he heard the words, and said, "What method?"

The pottery merchant considered the vocabulary for a while, and said in a low voice: "The so-called division and transformation, under the command of the princes from all walks of life, it is not bad to raise such a few idlers. The only thing to worry about is that there are so many ministers. Gongqing, and in the past, each position was high and powerful, dozens of people gathered together under the command of any prince, and the political pressure formed was so great that I don't think any prince could bear it."
