[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

Yuan Shu sneaked in behind Yuan Shao, Yuan Huan didn't want to see them these days, and was tired of fighting in the next yard every day.

The eldest brother is right next to him, and he can't really chop someone with a knife. Instead of wasting his energy there, it's better to find a way to make the eldest brother change his mind.

Jizhou in Yuan Shao's hands was given up, and his eldest brother sent him to Bingzhou, a place where the Qiang and Hu ravages. Although life will definitely be difficult in the future, he has settled down anyway, unlike him, who doesn't even want to be sent to any place. Know.

The eldest brother clearly loved him more before, but now he is so cruel that he can't even sleep well. Even if he doesn't forgive him, at least let him know which place where no shit is going to atone for his sins.

The maidservant must have whispered bad things about him in the elder brother's ear, otherwise the elder brother would not have ignored him until now.

Yuan Shu hated Yuan Shao so much, and he didn't dare to do anything to him here. The guards brought by the two of them have not been released yet. Those who serve them these days are all servants of the mansion. It really made him fight Yuan Shao with bare hands. , he really couldn't beat it.

The conditions in Zhuangzi are poor, and it is uncomfortable to live in anywhere. Compared with the neighboring houses, the main house is only a bit bigger. I don’t know how the eldest brother can bear this kind of grievance. When we met the first few times, there was not even a maid by my side. A few, and his body is so weak, how can he do it without taking care of him?

Jizhou is so far away from Runan, why did he come all the way here, wouldn't it be better to go back directly to Runan?

The temporary house was not big, and next to that annoying guy was Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu realized that his brother really didn't want to see him, and then he became wilted. He hid in the house all day and sighed. He is not a fool. After thinking about it for a few days, he almost I also understood why his brother was unwilling to return to Runan.

In the final analysis, it was still the fault of him and the maid who gave birth to a son.

If the two of them hadn't provoked Dong Zhuo's ferocity, the Yuan family would not have suffered such a catastrophe, and the elder brother didn't need to escape from death, and he was injured all over his body. If he was the one who stayed in the capital at that time, he would have doubted Did the people outside intentionally provoke Dong Zhuo to kill him?

He can guarantee that he doesn't have that kind of idea, but that's not necessarily the case with the maidservant. That guy has been ambitious since he was a child, and he is also the leader of the Kanto Alliance. That bastard who rejected Dong Zhuo's proposal so simply must have ulterior motives.

He wanted to explain to his eldest brother, but his eldest brother didn't give him a chance to explain at all, so he could only let the maidservant get away with it.

A few days ago, the eldest brother only said that he would take away that guy's Jizhou shepherd's position, but he didn't say what he would do. Today, the Chang'an court came, and he couldn't make him so confused and confused.

Yuan Shu was afraid that something would happen when he didn't know, so he was determined not to let Yuan Shao and his eldest brother get along alone. The reception room was envoyed by the imperial court, so he couldn't let his elder brother lose his manners and make trouble. But the study is different. There are no outsiders, even if he is accidentally discovered, it will not make his brother unable to step down.

It's just that he didn't expect the window of the study room to be closed in broad daylight, and when he managed to push the window open, Yuan Shao had already disappeared.

Then, he was discovered.

Yuan Gonggong looked into his brother's eyes without much emotion, and saw the thick clothes he had put on earlier, and suddenly understood why the study room had to close the window in broad daylight. , called hoarsely, "Brother."

Yuan Huan sighed silently, "Come in."

Yuan Shu came in lightly, walked to Yuan Shao's place and sat down. When he didn't see anyone, he was full of things to say, but when he really saw someone, he didn't know what to say.

"I contacted the soldiers and horses at the beginning, and I will leave for Bingzhou in a few days. When are you going to leave?" Yuan Huan bent his knuckles and landed on the book case with a light knocking sound, "Also, what about the Sun Alliance?" what's going on?"

Yuan Shu just wanted to say that he would not leave, but when he heard the words of begging Sun Lianhe, his face was a little angry, "Then Sun Wentai lied to his younger brother's food and grass to go to Yanzhou, and he worked hand in hand with Cao Mengde, so naturally he wants to be punished."

If it weren't for the awkwardness of calling the Sun Cao Alliance, Cao Cao wasn't his main target. He even wanted to name the alliance the "Sun Cao Alliance".

Yuan Shu has never suffered such a big loss in his life. When he thinks of the food and grass taken away by Sun Jian, his heart aches. Lu Bu also went to help when the thieves robbed.

It seems that Lu Bu has already switched to Big Brother.

Is it...

Yuan Shu's voice stopped abruptly, and he opened his eyes wide to look at their eldest brother, full of disbelief.

Yuan Huan took a sip of the hot water, held the cup in his hand to absorb the heat, "I gave Cao Mengde's grain and grass, and I raised Sun Wentai's soldiers and horses. Is there any problem?"

Yuan Shu: ...

How dare he have a problem?

Yuan Shu's lips trembled, and there was even a tinge of grievance on his face, "Brother has a great plan, knows things like a god, wins a thousand miles away, defeats the enemy without fighting, the sea is immeasurable..."

Yuan Huan: ...

Not really that smart.

"Now that I know that Sun Wentai is now being used by me, can your alliance be disbanded?"

"He hasn't returned the food and grass he lied to me, so why leave?" Yuan Shu said faster than he thought, after Tulu realized it, he quickly changed his words, "If you leave, you will leave when you go back. It's all your own people, food and grass To be cheated is to be cheated, it's just the left hand into the right hand, my brother is not wronged."

He said that he was not wronged, but in fact, tears were about to fall.

His own brother turned to the liar after he was cheated, he was really miserable.

The corner of Yuan Huan's mouth twitched slightly, and he took a sip while holding the cup, not quite understanding how he could do it like this.

It stands to reason that with the current grain output of Yuzhou and Nanyang, the little grain that Sun Jian took away is not enough to see. The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, the only two counties with a population of more than 200 million are in his hands, and he is not For a person who is compassionate and loves the people, the value of that little food is not even as good as his daily expenses, so he cares about every detail, but it seems that he is petty.

The brat's anger is probably not the food, but Sun Jian betrayed him and made him lose his face in other places, and it happened that Yuan Shao turned back to confront Gongsun Zan, so he put all his energy into it. Teach him a lesson.

It's just that if the two sides are evenly matched, or if he has the upper hand, it can indeed be said to teach the other party a lesson. The problem is that even if he leads an entire alliance, it is not enough for Wu Chenghou to fight alone, let alone Yanzhou has Cao Cao.

Self-knowledge is a good thing, but unfortunately he doesn't have it.

Yuan Shu endured the grievances and praised his brother until he couldn't find the words. Seeing that the man just drank water, he didn't mean to comfort him at all, so he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "Brother, Yuan Shao is going to Bingzhou. Where am I going?"

Yuan Huan raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Go back where you came from."

Yuan Shu's voice became softer, "Brother, don't you want Yuzhou and Nanyang?"

"Are you Yuzhou Mu?" Yuan Huan asked, "Or do the people in Yuzhou and Nanyang really obey your governance?"

Since Liu Yan proposed to restore the state pastoral system, the situation of local separatism has become more and more serious. The first three state pastoral seals were Liu Yan, Yizhou pastoral, Liu Yu, Youzhou pastoral pastoral, and Huang Wan, Yuzhou pastoral pastoral. Two of them were royal family members. , one is a famous person in the party, none of them are simple people.

Later, chaos arose, and the succeeding Yuzhou shepherd, Kong Ni, died of illness when the eighteenth princes attacked Dong Zhuo. Since then, Yuzhou has been in a state of no state shepherd. Today, the governor of Yuzhou and most of the county guards in Yuzhou are Yuan Shu. He is not wrong to say that Yuzhou is his territory, but when it comes to official positions, his position as the prefect of Nanyang is more reliable.

Although the county guards in various parts of Yuzhou belonged to him, at least they governed the counties and counties under their command. Unlike Nanyang, there was such a stingy prefect, which caused the people to moan and resent.

Yuan Huan put down the cup and asked him to put Ma Rixun back to the capital immediately after he went back. If he wanted to ask celebrities for help, he could only be willing to do so. For those who directly kidnap people and force them to stay as helpers, when they meet someone with a strong personality If you commit suicide, even your family's reputation will be trampled into the mud.

There is also Nanyang, if you don't know how to govern yourself, you can hand it over to someone who understands internal affairs. Don't think about tossing the people every time you come out.

Yuan Shu listened on the surface, but he was very unconvinced in his heart.

The eldest brother asked him to hand over the land in his hand, and he could hand it over without any conditions, and the other was not his brother, so why should he give up the land he had worked so hard to win?

If he dared to give in, there had to be someone in the world who dared to accept it. It was not so easy to snatch something from him, Yuan Gonglu.

After listening to the lesson patiently, Yuan Shu felt elated. The elder brother did not throw him to a remote place like Yizhou in Liangzhou, but let him stay in Nanyang. He must still be thinking about their brotherhood in his heart.

Yuan Huan glanced at him tiredly, feeling that with his current concentration, he couldn't communicate with this person at all, so he sent him away with a few words, and then asked people to invite Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and others to come to the study, and they had to make up their minds How to go next.

He can't chew more than he can chew, and he is not going to extend his hand to other places before he completely controls Jizhou.

The time is still too early now, and revealing one's true purpose too early will only call in a group of princes from all walks of life to attack like Yuan Shu in history. The most important thing now is not to occupy territory, but to accumulate power to ensure that one can defend what one already has. territory.

The people all over the world recognize the emperor of Han, and the little emperor also has a group of ministers who sacrifice their lives to maintain orthodoxy. They don't think that they can really stand firm in the troubled times because of their strong strength.

What's more, the capital in his hand is far from strong.

He couldn't remember exactly when those droughts, locust plagues, and plagues were the worst, but he vaguely remembered that before the people fell into the most dire straits, the first unlucky thing was the little emperor in Chang'an.

Within a few years of his accession to the throne, the little emperor had already experienced hardships that ordinary people could never experience in a lifetime. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued. When encountering natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts, the court would punish the three princes according to the usual practice. , Sangong is changed every year.

There have been severe droughts in Guanzhong and earthquakes in Chang'an every year. Fortunately, he is a big-hearted person. If someone else sat in his seat, he might not be able to bear the pressure anytime soon, and he would easily go to Qingchi.

He has the memory of future generations. Although he only remembers some major events and is not very clear about the details, it is already a rare advantage compared to others. If he does not take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate strength now, when the famine comes, he does not know how many times he will die people.

Wars have continued for years, people have nowhere to live, and when natural disasters occur, there may even be food shortages. If the normal development is followed, before Cao Cao starts farming, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others are almost starving to death due to lack of food. .

When Yuan Shao was in Hebei, the soldiers ate mulberry, Yuan Shu was in Jianghuai, and gave it to Pu Ying. Liu Bei was in Guangling, hungry and destitute.

There is a ruthless Cheng Yu under Cao Cao. In order to solve the problem of food and grass, he even went to the point of using human flesh as dry food.

Food is the foundation of survival in troubled times, and no amount of storage is enough. Now he has sent Yuan Shao to Bingzhou, and then suppressed Yuan Shu to prevent him from making trouble. Yanzhou is located in a plain, and like Jizhou and Yuzhou, it is a major producer of grain. Before the natural disasters come on a large scale, the basic framework will be set up, coupled with the food in hand, it will not reduce the people under the rule to the point of cannibalism.

Liu Yan is a smart man. After arriving in Yizhou, he immediately joined forces with Zhang Lu to block Yizhou and strengthen himself. The Land of Abundance is already rich in supplies, and no matter how big the disturbance outside is, it will not disturb there.

But there is only one Yizhou in the world. It is easy to block that place and it is difficult to think about it. Jizhou and Yanzhou are all places extending in all directions. It is unrealistic to block the roads. If you want to stabilize yourself and develop yourself, strong military force is the top priority. Otherwise, can you develop the whole country? Relying on other people's conscience, the initiative is not in your own hands, and it is a dream to develop.

In other words, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Jizhou itself has a lot of soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao took away his cronies, and the rest were incorporated into the armies of the counties and counties. Whether to guard against Gongsun Zan or suppress a possible rebellion, there are enough manpower at present.

Yuan Huan roughly sorted out the current situation, pinched the space between his brows and breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he had to hold on first, being strong for a while was not considered strong, the most important thing was being stable.

Xun Yu and the others came over quickly and saw that the cushions in the study had been put away. They sat down after saluting.

Yuan Huan simply told them that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were leaving, and then looked up at Guo Jia, "Yuan Shao has a counselor, surnamed Guo Mingtu, who is a fellow from Yingchuan who was recruited by Hanwen Festival when he was the pastor of Jizhou. Recognize this person?"

Guo Jia looked up, the expression on his face was indescribable, "It's very good, why is my lord mentioning him?"

Guo Tu and Guo Gongze, the two of them are of the same family, it's not just that simple.

Yuan Huan's smile became more gentle, and he told the man why he was fooling Yuan Shao, and then reminded him softly, "The excuse has already been given, Feng Xiao will not reveal it when the time comes."

"It's not enough to reveal your secrets. Although we are from the same family, our relationship is indeed not very good." Guo Jia crossed his arms thoughtfully, and then looked at their lord suspiciously, "There are many advisers around Yuan Benchu, why did the lord only stay behind?" Him alone?"

Yuan Huan didn't want to hide it, but blinked his eyes and told the truth, "This man's intentions are not righteous, if he goes to Bingzhou with Yuan Benchu, it may ruin the event."

Guo Jia knew that this person had never dealt with Guo Tu before, so he thought he was joking, and couldn't hold back a smile when he heard this, "Master Huiyan, that guy really has evil intentions. Lucky to be born."

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu knew the grievances and grievances between him and the Guo family, and it was helpless to see him show it so openly, that is to say, they all knew what kind of temperament this person was. It's not that there is a lack of virtue.

Yuan Huan smiled and waited for Guo Jia to shake his head and shake his head to finish his emotion, and was about to say something else, when the servant at the door knocked on the door suddenly to report, "Patriarch, there is a visitor outside the gate, and the visitor claims to be the son of Marquis Wu Cheng."

"The son of Marquis Wucheng? He's alone?" Yuan Huan was a little surprised. When the servant nodded, he hurriedly said, "Let him in quickly."

This Little Overlord of Jiangdong is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, judging by his courage to run to Zhongshan alone, he knows that the title of Little Overlord is not in vain at all. Does Sun Wentai know that he came here alone?

Or is it that the family members are behind and he is just here to lead the charge?

Wu Chenghou's family is really exactly the same tiger.
