I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Gongsun Zan quickly sent his followers to find out the news.Sure enough, the entourage sent back news that Yuan Shao's men had brought a large number of gifts to Liu Yu.So they immediately sent troops to block the gate of Youzhou Mufu's mansion, trying to arrest these people for questioning.

Liu Yu was a man of integrity and righteousness, and was deeply favored by Emperor Ling of Han back then. Even though Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age, he had no intention of betraying the Han Dynasty at all.He looked down on Yuan Shao, the rebellious minister who robbed Jizhou without authorization, so he naturally refused to accept gifts, and unceremoniously kicked out the pretender.As soon as these people went out, according to Xi Zhicai's instructions, they went to a remote place to burn the exquisite boxes, then changed into ordinary people's clothes, and blended into the crowd with the help of the local civilian guards.

Gongsun Zan sent someone to arrest him, but of course they were in vain.So he summoned Xi Zhicai who was waiting in the side hall again, temporarily restrained his contempt for scholars, and saluted Xi Zhicai, but his tone was still a little suspicious: "Mr. is from Jizhou? To Yuan Shao's wolf ambition I know very well."

Xi Zhicai nodded: "I came from Jizhou. I worked in the wild in Yingchuan and did not seek to be famous. A fellow villager recommended Yuan Shao as the talent of Duke Zhou. He is not only a great ability to identify talents, but also can help the emperor govern the world. Fellow It is hard to refuse a warm recommendation, and the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family are well-known, so I went with him to Jizhou."

Gongsun Zan scolded angrily: "Fortunately, Mister was not deceived by Yuan Shao, after four generations and three generations, Yuan Shao is just a greedy and despicable villain!"

At the beginning Yuan Shao sent people to discuss with him the internal and external cooperation to attack Jizhou and share the benefits. Thinking of the reputation of the Yuan family, Gongsun Zan didn't care even if there was no token, and sent troops directly.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao just used his troops to force Han Fu to give up Jizhou.After Yuan Shao got Jizhou, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. He refused to recognize the private agreement between the two, and even sent troops to ambush the Youzhou army.Gongsun Zan spent so much time and effort, not to mention gaining nothing, even losing his troops, and never trusted Yuan Shao again.

The same people who were deceived by the Yuan family's reputation suddenly had a common language.

Xi Zhicai said: "Liu Yu is the most prestigious clan of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. If they are allowed to join forces, how can the Duke have a place in Youzhou? For the current plan, cut off Yuan Shao and Liu Yu first. No matter how sweet the words are to the people sent by Yuan Shao, they cannot be allowed to enter Jizhou."

Gongsun Zan nodded: "Sir, what you said is very true." Although Liu Yu advertised himself as a loyal and patriotic person every day, Gongsun Zan always thought that he was hypocritical.And in the face of overwhelming wealth, he judged others by himself, he felt that as long as Liu Yu was not a fool, he would definitely not refuse the throne of emperor.So in my heart, I was very afraid of Liu Yu and Yuan Shao's joining forces.

Xi Zhicai said again: "Then Yuan Shao is a rebel, and His Majesty has issued an edict to the world. It is a pity that his life experience of four generations and three princes has blinded the eyes of many princes, and the prince has never followed the edict. He is still a loyal minister, so it's a pity that we don't know his true face!"

Yuan Shao was afraid of the elite teacher "Bai Ma Yi Cong" in Youzhou, so he sent a lot of gold, silver and jewels.And Gongsun Zan thought about what benefit he would gain from cutting Yuan apart from letting out a sigh of relief. The city that was captured was not sent by the imperial court to take over, and he was not in a hurry to send troops.

So he put on a show and sighed, "I want to attack Yuan too, but it's a pity that there is not enough food and grass in Youzhou, and the imperial court refuses to allocate food and grass. It is really powerless to kill Yuan!"

Xi Zhicai also sighed: "Those who have the heart of disobedience should be punished by all the people in the world. I came all the way to Youzhou to find the Duke, because if the Duke can't stop Yuan Shao, who else can take on this great responsibility?" ?”

Hearing the flattery, Gongsun Zan was naturally very helpful: "I also want to solve the emperor's worries and problems, but I have no connections." It's not beneficial, so naturally he doesn't want to do it.

"It's a pity that I don't offend people, but people offend me." Xi Zhicai pointed out: "Yuan Shao wants to take advantage of the opportunity of supporting Li to penetrate deep into Youzhou, and even take Youzhou Tuqi, the most elite army in the world, into his hands without bloodshed. "

Gongsun Zan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "Well, let's come, whoever is afraid of whom! My cavalry is not a vegetarian."

"Yuan Shao is treacherous and cunning, and there are a group of counselors under his command. They seem to be planning to issue a message to the princes from all walks of life. On the surface, they claim to help the young master, but in fact they are discussing Liu Yu's rebellion. If Yuan Shao persuades the neighboring states to work together If you support Liu Yu, you will be in danger."

Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu were at odds with each other, and they were very anxious when they heard the words: "Liu Yu is the late emperor's uncle, and he is usually the best at buying people's hearts. He has a very high reputation in Youzhou, and other princes also have a good impression of him." Said: "Presumably Liu Yu has planned for a long time, and has long sought the throne!"

But he couldn't take action against Liu Yu easily. Liu Yu had a very high reputation in Youzhou, and even foreigners like Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Yeji loved this governor very much.

"Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack. I have a plan, and I am willing to worry about centimetres."

Gongsun Zan hurriedly said, "Let's talk quickly."

"As long as the Duke takes the token of Liu Yu Youzhou Mu and Qingqi raids Jizhou, their alliance will be broken."

Gongsun Zan said: "I really have this thing ready-made. It is the official document Liu Yu gave me when His Majesty issued an edict to me that day." He thought for a while, Jizhou is rich, so he found a prefecture with empty defenses to plunder and feed him. The soldiers under him are not bad, so I take it as condolences.

So he turned worry into joy, and people took money to reward Xi Zhicai.

Without hesitation, Xi Zhicai accepted it calmly.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan showed admiration instead. It is indeed not a shame for a man to obtain money by his own ability.What annoys literati the most is that he is very hypocritical. He clearly wants money but still pretends to be dismissive.Just like Liu Yu, who is clearly a shepherd in Youzhou, but still wears worn-out clothes, eats rough food, and takes care of himself, saying that big fish and big meat are not examples of officials, it is extremely hypocritical!

Xi Zhicai said again: "You have been the prefect of Beiping for a long time, don't you want to go further? Now that you have seen through Yuan Shao and Liu Yu's rebellious intentions, if you expose it to the court and destroy the city of Jizhou, you will not worry about being named a marquis." "

"Sir, what you say is reasonable!" Gongsun Zan said, "Unlike Yuan Shao and Liu Yu, who have evil intentions, I am all for His Majesty!"

"It's just... the Son of Heaven is still young, and I don't have any acquaintances in the court to speak of. Even if I make contributions, how can I be commended?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Since the imperial edict was issued to you to attack Yuan instead of ordering Liu Yu, the court must have valued your talent. If you don't dislike it, I would like to be your lobbyist and use gold beads to knock on the current celebrity. Ren Bingzhou Lu Bu's door, to seek the official title for you."

"If that's the case, I will definitely not treat you badly, don't leave Beiping alone."

At this time, there is no tense atmosphere in Luoyang. The fourth army league is about to start, and the school field is full of joy.

In the early morning, Liu Xie went directly to court in armor.Both civil and military were shocked. You must know that the last emperor to go to court in armor was Emperor Han Jing.Back then, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty went to the court wearing armor and deposed the prince Liu Rong, which shocked the whole court.

As an emperor, dressing is very particular.Wearing different clothes corresponding to different occasions has etiquette to follow.If this is taken too seriously, it means that it does not follow the etiquette, or it has ulterior motives, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to martial arts.The civil servants quickly asked: "Your Majesty, why didn't you wear your daily court clothes today, but something important happened?"

Liu Xie wrote lightly: "I will go to the army to patrol after the court, and it is too late to change clothes, so I put them on directly."

Naturally, this reason could not convince the Confucian civil servants who pay attention to following the etiquette and law, so after a lot of exhortation, even the restoration of the Sangong Jiuqing system, which is usually the favorite exhortation, was ranked second.Liu Xie neither lost his temper nor responded.The bottom line of a courtier is to be broken step by step.Anyway, no matter what they say, Liu Xie will not move.

After the court, Liu Xie stepped on the thick-heeled high boots provided by Zhang Qiaoshou, and wore bright armor to attend the Fourth Army League.In order to make myself look bigger and more powerful, I also worked hard.As for the face, I painted thicker and longer eyebrows, and also specially wore a crown with larger beads.The twelve strings of huge beads in front of the crown are like a veil, which can block the peeping that is not close.

Now Liu Xie is not worried about being underestimated in front of the public during the day.Since beheading Dong Zhuo, even though his face is still immature, his emperor's majesty has become stronger and stronger.What's more, the emperor's stand is relatively far away, and no soldier dares to look up at him all the time.He felt that appearing on the school grounds was a relatively positive signal for soldiers.

But unfortunately, those of his ancestors didn't seem to think so. Instead, they believed that the emperor should maintain a sense of distance and mystery.In fact, Liu Xie doesn't know which effect is better. He himself is very opposed to the state of "the ruler does not know the subject, and the minister does not know the ruler".In the end which is right and which is wrong, try to know.

When the luxurious chariot with a bright yellow cover appeared on the school grounds, the soldiers were all excited when they recognized the imperial chariot.They all want to stand out in front of the emperor and win the favor of the emperor.Liu Xie didn't talk about redundant opening remarks, and directly ordered the herald to pass on the message: "The outstanding ones will be rewarded in front of the emperor!"

In order to give the soldiers a chance and for the sake of fairness, the senior generals of the three armies are not allowed to participate.Therefore, Lu Bu, Huangfusong, and Huang Wan did not intervene, but stood beside Liu Xie.

Let's charge first, and the Fourth Army will draw lots on the spot.The first game is one army against two armies.The two armies dispatched the most elite infantry. The second army Lu Bu sent the "trapping camp" led by Gao Shun, and Huangfusong's first army sent the stormtroopers led by his nephew Huangfu Ze.

Accompanied by bursts of gongs, drums and cheering to the sky, the judge standing on the ladder in the middle of the school field shouted loudly: "Start!"

The two armies charged at the same time and fought together.Cold weapon warfare is all about close combat. If it weren't for the inconsistent clothes of the two armies, it would be really difficult to distinguish the enemy from the enemy.Looking down from the high platform, Liu Xie saw two long tug-of-war teams, each facing each other. After a stick of incense, the red of the representatives of the second army gradually broke through the deadlock line, and a team of more than a dozen people formed a triangular shape. Has been breaking through.Liu Xie looked at the leader, who seemed to be Gao Shun.Turning his head to look at Lu Bu below, he really had a serious face, and the pheasant tail feathers on his head were raised high.A moment later, the soldiers serving as referees blew the gong to retreat, and the two armies went to the side to count the amount of dye on their bodies.

The author has something to say: There is a feeling of incompetence... It's so hard to be thick and long!

Liu Yu is a capable minister and a good man. "Three Kingdoms" said, "Yu is in Youzhou, quiet and thrifty, and uses etiquette and righteousness to transform the people." The border was plagued by locusts, and they could not enter the Boping border. He was called to be a county official with the ability to govern himself, and he was called to be a county official with a filial piety. Di's heart." But Liu Yu's biggest weakness is that he is not good at war, and he is in harmony with his general Gongsun Zan, and he can't control Youzhou's elite soldiers.
