At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Without spending a single soldier or shedding a drop of blood, he completed the miraculous master-slave conversion, successfully captured Jizhou, which is rich in households and rich in products, as a basic base, and began to vigorously develop his own power.

It turned out that most of Han Fu's old men who were willing to resist Yuan Shao were natives of Jizhou, but most of the old family members brought by Han Fu flirted with Yuan Shao.

Now that Han Fu is so incompetent, the locals are also desperate, agree with Yuan Shao's rule, and join Yuan Shao's command one after another.

Yuan Shao granted them positions one after another, expressing that he would not blame them for the past and showing his tolerance. Jizhou settled down in a short period of time.

Among them, Jushou contributed a lot, and was respected and treated favorably by Yuan Shao, and soon gained a firm foothold and position in Yuan Shao's group.

Yuan Shao also needed a famous person like Jushou to help him stabilize Jizhou, so he was very kind to him.

Taking this opportunity, Jushou recommended Tian Feng, a wise man. After Yuan Shao learned about it, he personally sent a cart to meet Tian Feng and invited him with humble words, so Tian Feng agreed to serve Yuan Shao.

In this way, the situation in Jizhou became more stable, and Han Fu soon became a thing of the past.

The family background of the fourth generation and the third father has advantages and advantages. In just a few months, he has changed from a prefect of a county to a shepherd of a state.

It didn't cost a single soldier or a drop of blood to kill a person to get the territory of a state, which was much easier than Guo Peng's exhausting calculations to finally get Qingzhou.

This is something that Guo Peng can't envy.

Afterwards, Han Fu was named General Fenwu by Yuan Shaobiao. Although he was like this, he had no soldiers, no subordinates, only his own family, guarding in a house with nothing.

Han Fu didn't feel that there was anything bad, and thought that his birthday was coming.

After Yuan Shao acquired Jizhou, the Suanzao camp basically fell apart.

The princes from all over the country led their troops back to their territories, and there were conflicts among them.

Among them, Liu Dai even killed Qiao Mao, who was the initiator of the alliance, annexed his subordinates, and appointed his cronies as the prefect of Dongjun, so that Dong's alliance existed in name only.

From the beginning of the first month of the second year of Chuping, only Guo Peng and Sun Jian were still nailed to the front to fight against Dong Zhuo, and only Yuan Shu was still providing food and grass.

What kind of goods they are, all people of insight in the world can see clearly, and feel deeply disappointed.

Of course Yuan Shao got the most benefits, but he also lost a lot.

As the leader of the alliance, he conspired to seize Han Fu's territory, took the lead in thinking for himself, and took the lead in destroying the friendship of the alliance. How can he prevent people of insight from seeing his true colors?

Many Yingchuan scholars who were originally summoned by Han Fu to gather in Jizhou for refuge saw Yuan Shao's true face, were greatly disappointed in Yuan Shao, and thought of leaving Jizhou to seek other paths.

The most representative one is Xun Yu who took refuge in Jizhou at that time.

Chapter 234 .230 Four Xun Yu is going to Qingzhou

As a man of insight, Xun Yu, who had taken refuge in Jizhou, saw through Yuan Shao's true face through this incident, and was very dissatisfied with him.

At that time, because Yuan Shao got Jizhou, all Yingchuan people under Han Fu's command took refuge in Yuan Shao, and many scholars were also on the way to join Yuan Shao, but Xun Yu dismissed this.

Xun Chen persuaded Xun Yu to join Yuan Shao, saying that Yuan Shao admired his reputation as Wang Zuozhi's talent and gave him very generous treatment, hoping that Xun Yu would do his best for him, but Xun Yu shook his head decisively.

Xun Yu was invited by Han Fu to take refuge in Jizhou.

Before Dong Zhuo was about to send troops to sweep Yingchuan, Xun Yu had a premonition that Yingchuan would suffer disaster, so he wanted to take the villagers to take refuge together.

But the villagers couldn't leave their homeland, and they didn't want to leave. Xun Yu had no choice but to move his clan to Jizhou alone for refuge.

As a result, not long after, Dong Zhuo's army swept Yingchuan, and the villagers who stayed in Yingchuan were killed one after another, and Yingchuan turned into a purgatory on earth.

Xun Yu learned on the way that he was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to go back, so he could only continue to Jizhou.

As a result, when Xun Yu arrived in Jizhou, Jizhou had already been occupied by Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao honored Xun Yu as his guest of honor, Xun Yu learned from Xun Chen how Yuan Shao planned to seize Jizhou.

Xun Chen boasted very proudly, saying that he helped the lord capture Jizhou without a single soldier. This is a very remarkable thing and a great achievement, and there will be more such achievements in the future.

But Xun Yu felt quite unhappy about it.

"As the leader of the alliance, the army was helped by the envoy Han, and most of the soldiers, horses, food and grass were funded by the envoy Han. Without the envoy Han, how could Yuan Benchu ​​raise the army? As a result, Yuan Benchu ​​is now seeking to take the position of the envoy Han. Did the hero do it?"

Xun Yu said sternly to Xun Chen.

"There has been chaos in the world. At this time, everyone is planning for themselves. It is too narrow for my brother to say this. Yuan Gongxiong is a generalist. He does not stick to general principles and dares to be the first in the world. A true hero."

Xun Chen retorted in this way.

"Will the real hero be ungrateful? How can the strategy you adopt be called a heroic strategy? This is clearly a conspiracy! Can the foundation won by conspiracy last long?"

Xun Yu reprimanded Xun Chen righteously, but Xun Chen was very upset, and the two brothers broke up unhappy.

Soon after, Yuan Shao invited Xun Yu to a banquet, and Xun Yu went to attend, and had a face-to-face conversation with Yuan Shao, learning more about Yuan Shao's character.

After this banquet, Xun Yu felt more and more that Yuan Shao was not a person who could achieve great things. He felt that Yuan Shao had many shortcomings. He felt that if he stayed in Jizhou, he would be appointed by Yuan Shao sooner or later.

And he really didn't like Yuan Shao's way of doing things. Instead of staying and asking for trouble, he should leave as soon as possible and seek other paths.

But besides Jizhou, where should we go?

For this reason, the clan held a meeting to discuss where to go to seek stability.

Some people proposed to go north to Youzhou or Liaodong, saying that this was the choice of many people. Many great Confucian scholars also did this to avoid the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Liaodong is too far away from the Central Plains and is very stable.

Many people objected, thinking that Youzhou was too cold, too far away from the Central Plains, and it was a remote place. Once it passed, it would be difficult to return to the Central Plains.

Some people also proposed to go to Jingzhou, saying that many people went to Jingzhou to seek refuge, and Jingzhou was very safe.

Many people still objected, saying that the road to Jingzhou was in war and unsafe.

Some people said that going to Yangzhou or Yizhou was rejected because of road problems.

So someone proposed to take refuge in Yanzhou.

This time, many people agreed, thinking that Yanzhou was a good place to go, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was a relative of the Han family and had a certain reputation. It should be right to go to Yanzhou, not far from his hometown.

As a result, this decision was vetoed by Xun Yu.

"Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, has a false name. He killed allies and annexed his subordinates. He is not someone who can be relied on to protect the family."

The clansmen asked Xun Yu where he wanted to go.

After careful consideration, Xun Yu said slowly, "Go to Qingzhou."

"Qingzhou? There are a lot of yellow turbans in Qingzhou making troubles. I'm afraid it's not safe?"

Some people in the tribe raised objections.

Xun Yu shook his head.

"Guo Peng, shepherd of Qingzhou, is loyal, brave and good at fighting. After taking office, he defeated the Yellow Turbans many times. I heard that the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were defeated many times by him, and they are already in decline. Qingzhou is actually relatively safe. Now Guo Shijun himself is attacking Dong Zhuo.

The feudal lords from all over the world were bustling with each other to attack Dong Zhuo, but there were only two or three people who really fought against Dong Zhuo, except Guo Shijun. Guo Shijun had already conquered Luoyang and forced Dong Zhuo to flee to Chang'an. This is the person we can count on. "

Everyone in the clan felt that what Xun Yu said made sense.

So after a group of people discussed and decided, they decided to go southeast of Jizhou and enter Qingzhou to seek Guo Peng's asylum.

It happened that the route from Jizhou to Qingzhou was very short and relatively safe, which met their psychological expectations.

So Xun Yu went to bid farewell to Yuan Shao.

When Yuan Shao heard that Xun Yu was going to leave, he was very surprised and hurriedly persuaded him to stay.

"Sir's name, Shao has heard about it, Shao is planning to entrust important matters to the husband, why did the husband leave?"

"The general's kindness, Yu accepted it, but Yu's family was impatient with the climate in Hebei, missed their hometown very much, and considered the elders in the family, so they decided to leave without further trouble."

Xun Yu said a polite remark.

"Yuzhou is in constant war, and it's not safe at all. It's unwise to go back to your hometown at this time. Jizhou is safe and peaceful, and it's a place where you can take refuge. Why are you in such a hurry, sir?"

Yuan Shao continued to persuade him to stay.

"Don't worry, general. We decided to go back to our hometown via Qingzhou. If our hometown is not safe, we can wait until the war subsides in Qingzhou. It is basically safe."

Xun Yu secretly said something that Yuan Shao didn't want to hear.

Qingzhou is Guo Zifeng's territory.

Xun Yu, have you taken a fancy to Guo Zifeng?

Xun Yu, Wang Zuozhi, thinks Guo Zifeng is better than me?

Yuan Shao was immediately unhappy, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only suppress his unhappiness, and politely bid farewell to Xun Yu.

How could he force it to stay?

He is not Dong Zhuo.

After Xun Yu left with his clan, Yuan Shao became angry.

It probably means that I am also a person who owns the foundation of a state, a family of four generations and three princes, with disciples and old officials all over the world. Is it not more noble than Guo Peng, a bastard who relied on Cao Song who was born as an eunuch to start his family?

Xun Yu actually fell in love with Guo Peng?

why?

Xun Chen, Xu You, Feng Ji and others were not particularly surprised.

According to the chain of contempt, Yuan Shu's status is more honorable than yours, so why don't we follow you?

Words cannot be said that way.

"Guo Zifeng has repeatedly defeated Dong Zhuo, and his reputation has been greatly shaken. Everyone in the world knows that Guo Zifeng is a hero who defeated Dong Zhuo. It is no wonder that he has such a reputation. I also heard that many wise men defected to Guo Zifeng. For example, the great scholar Cai Yong voted under Guo Zifeng's command. Academy wine ceremony."

Xu You said so.

"Guo Zifeng! Guo Zifeng!"

Yuan Shao took a few breaths of resentment, and said, "Guo Zifeng and Yuan Shu are too close, and sooner or later it will become an obstacle to my great cause. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Several confidants looked at each other, and Xu You said, "Does the general want it?"

"Yuan Shu is my enemy, of course I don't have to worry about his face anymore! Guo Peng, Sun Jian, his right-hand men must be eliminated together!"

Yuan Shao's face was full of astonishing desire: "Qingzhou has the benefits of sea salt, and Yuzhou is the essence of the world. How can it be handed over to Yuan Shu to control it? I must defeat Yuan Shu! I can't let him sit on the throne!"

Chapter 235

The counselors looked at each other, frowning and thinking hard.

It's not impossible for Yuan Shao to think this way, it's just that the risk is a bit high.

Moreover, taking such risks to do things is easy to withstand the offensive of public opinion. Once the actions are unfavorable, the gains will outweigh the losses.

However, it is not completely impossible.

"Then, when they are all fighting Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong, we can only draw from the bottom of the pot!"

Xu You's expression was grim.

Feng Ji thought so, and said, "General, you can attack Qingzhou and Yuzhou while they are all in Guanzhong."

Xun Chen looked hesitant.

"General, it's fine to take action against Sun Jian. His Yuzhou governor was announced by Yuan Shu. If his name is not correct, the general can also announce the Yuzhou governor. Yuan Shu has nothing to do. However, Guo Peng leading Qingzhou is appointed by the imperial court. His name is justified. We There is no justification for doing something against Qingzhou."

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, feeling that Xun Chen was right.

Wouldn't it be tantamount to rebelling against the imperial court to attack Qingzhou?

If Han Fu's Jizhou Mu was not appointed by the imperial court, would he still need to be careful to deceive?

Just raise troops and fight.

Guo Peng leading Qingzhou was also appointed by the imperial court, as was General Zuo, and his name was justifiable, much more justifiable than Yuan Shao's self-proclaimed chariot general and the deceived Jizhou shepherd.

Wouldn't it be blatant to fight against the imperial court by doing something against him?

The great man has not yet perished, there is still the emperor, and the people of the world have not yet accepted the situation that the great man will perish.

Xu You doesn't think so.

"Guo Peng's Qingzhou Shepherd was appointed by Dong Zhuo. He himself said that Dong Zhuo's name is Han Xiang but he is actually a Han thief. What else can he say?"

Xun Chen continued to shake his head.
