Chapter 34: Yuan Shao's ambition

  Chapter 34 Yuan Shao's Ambition

  Yuan Shao sat behind the table and studied the territory map of the Han Dynasty in detail.

  As one of the top yamen in Kyoto, it is not too difficult to get this kind of military map.

  Yuan Shao gazed at the top of the map for a long time, thinking nonstop in his mind.

  If he can choose freely, he is definitely inclined to choose Runan, followed by Nanyang. Runan is the birthplace of the Yuan family, with deep roots. All the officials in Runan from the prefect to the lower level are members of the Yuan family. The Yuan family also broadcasts good deeds in Runan and is very famous. It is precisely because the land in Runan has always been It is all the private land of the Patriarch, and other people are not allowed to get their hands on it. Even Yuan Shu, who Yuan Kui is optimistic about, cannot bear it until he officially becomes the Patriarch.

  In addition to Runan, it is Nanyang. If Runan is the first base area of ​​the Yuan family, then Nanyang is the second base area opened up by the Yuan family. Nanyang is an important hub for traveling from north to south. It is prosperous in business, densely populated, and extremely prosperous. Yuan Shao originally coveted this Three feet, unfortunately, Yuan Shao knew that this piece of land had already been assigned to Yuan Shu by default. At the end of each year, besides Yuan Kai's enjoyment of the wealth tributed by Nanyang, a small part was given to Yuan Shu for his expenses.

  Therefore, Yuan Shao could only look at the two pieces of fat and had no choice but to look for another direction.

  Where would it be better to choose? Yuan Shao's eyes were cruising on the land map of the Great Han, and he suddenly remembered what he said when he was a teenager and when Cao Cao was pointing out the country. The people of Di, go south to fight for the world, how much can the common people help?"—that is, first defend the Yellow River in the south, and defend Yanshan and Daijun in the north, attack and annex the Rong people and Dihu, and then go south to fight for the world.

  And the place referred to by the Yan Dynasty in the south according to Hebei is Jizhou.

To be honest, this grand strategy is not Yuan Shao's patented idea. As early as the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, did this. The world, therefore, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cha said this, they were actually influenced by Liu Xiu.

  However, from today's point of view, what I said unintentionally when I was young is quite operable.

The current governor of Jizhou is Han Fu, who is an old official of the Yuan family. He was recommended by the Yuan family to be the governor of Jizhou. There is meaning, and at this time Jizhou is still facing a problem to be solved.

   That is the remnant of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly extinguished, there were still some people who were transferred from the rebel army to bandits and hid in the deep mountains. First, the imperial court was limited by the limited number of troops, and it was impossible to search and hunt the mountains on a large scale. Restrictions can't support long-term battles, so these newly transferred bandits have temporarily escaped from the court's pursuit and established themselves as kings in some mountainous areas.

Of course, the largest remnants of the Yellow Turbans are currently in Qingzhou, but Qingzhou has basically been smashed, and production has basically not recovered. The relatively stable and wealthy neighbor Jizhou is the best choice. Therefore, when Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, as long as he held high the signboard of Yuan's parents and the banner of protecting the scholars in Jizhou and stabilizing the banditry, he would definitely win Jizhou's officials, gentry, and down. The support of ordinary people.

   Looking at it now, if you leave Luoyang, the best choice is Jizhou.

   But leaving Luoyang like a bereaved dog in such a dejected manner is not what Yuan Shao wants, but how to do it?

  At this moment, a servant of the family rushed in with a famous thorn in his hand, and reported that Dong Zhuo had called urgently, and the visitor was waiting outside the door. Yuan Shao frowned, I have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, why did Dong Zhuo seek me? But although there are doubts, after all, Dong Zhuo's official position is higher than him, so he has no choice but to leave.

After arriving at Dong Zhuo's mansion, Dong Zhuo paid homage to him, and after some innocuous gossip, Dong Zhuo said: "The emperor rushes into the dark, he is not the master of ten thousand chariots. The king of Chenliu is still victorious, and now he wants to establish him. People have little wisdom." If you are big or foolish, you know what to do. It’s time for you. Haven’t you seen Emperor Ling? It’s infuriating to think about it!"—The emperor was young and ignorant, not suitable for the throne. I think King Chenliu is better, so I think When King Chenliu becomes emperor, age is not a problem, what matters is how he becomes afterward. You see, Emperor Ling was good at first, but then he failed. Wouldn’t it be resentful to have another one like this?

  The main reason why Dong Zhuo asked Yuan Shao to talk about this matter was that he wanted Yuan Shao to be a sounding board to tell Yuan Kai his determination to abolish the emperor, and to find out the Yuan family's attitude towards this matter.

In the current imperial court, Dong Zhuo is in charge of the greatest military power, and the Yuan family is the largest among the Qingliu gentry, so as long as Yuan Kai nods, the matter of abolishing the emperor will be settled, even if others object to it, it will be useless . Wanting Dong Zhuo to go to Yuan Kai's house, Dong Zhuo felt that he was condescending. If he wanted Yuan Kai to come, he would not be able to call Yuan Kai as soon as he was called, so he went to Yuan Shao, the son of Yuan's eldest son.

Yuan Shao didn't reply right away when he heard the words. Apparently, Dong Zhuo's tone was not asking for his own attitude, but hoping that he could take the words back. According to common sense, Yuan Shao should say something. In this way, both parties will understand what it means, and the purpose of Dong Zhuo's meeting with Yuan Shao will be achieved.

  But Yuan Shao didn’t want to do this, because Yuan Shao knew that Yuan Kai—

Yuan Shao got up and said: "The ruler of the Han family has been in the world for about four hundred years, and his kindness has been profound, and Zhaomin has been with him for a long time. Although the emperor is young and powerful, he has not been bad at publicizing the world. "—Yuan Shao not only did not say that he would take the words back, but expressed his opposition with a strong attitude!

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then cursed angrily: "Zhuzi! Don't you decide what is going on in the world? Who dares to disobey this order? You say that Dong Zhuo's saber is not good for you!"—Brat, I didn't ask you to bring it up Opinion, haven't you understood yet, go home and tell your lord, or I'll treat you to a knife!

   Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao asked rhetorically, "Dong Gong is the only one who is strong in the world?" Then he bowed with crossed hands.

  Dong Zhuo was so angry that he scolded Yuan Jiazi for being ignorant. When he saw Li Ru who had turned from the back hall, he said angrily to Li Ru: "Zhu Zi insulted me, and I will definitely take the blame!"

   "Ming Gong, please calm down. The Yuan family's son is very strange this time." Li Ru said calmly, it is still too early to settle accounts with the Yuan family, and there is still room for the Yuan family, so there is no rush to hold Yuan Shao accountable.

  Dong Zhuo didn't understand, and said: "What's so strange?"—I think he was a fool, and he didn't even know how to pass on a message.

   Not long after, a soldier at the gate of the city came to report that Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese Army, hung his scepter over the east gate and left the city!

  Li Ru changed his mind when he heard it, and suddenly asked Bingjia: "I only see the scepter, but is there a seal?"

   "I haven't seen the seal and ribbon." Bingjia replied.

  Li Ru smiled and said, "So that's how it is!" Then he waved his hand to make Bingjia retreat.

   In the novel, Dong Zhuo had already deflated Ding Yuan once in public, and then foolishly held another banquet to deflate Yuan Shao for the second time. Finally, he knew how to ask Yuan Kui about his attitude? Moreover, things like the deposed emperor must be carried out quickly and all the way to the end, otherwise the He family will find a helping hand to take over and settle the score after autumn? So who would procrastinate and hold a second banquet? I have referred a bit of "Yuan Shao Biography", if you are interested, you can go to Du Niang... Please recommend tickets for collection...
