The third year of the first peace (192) was another turbulent year.

At the end of March, Wang Yun and Lu Bu joined forces to kill Dong Zhuo and destroy Dong Zhuo's three clans. Subsequently, Wang Yun took control of the government and Lü Bu was in charge of military affairs, stabilizing the turbulent situation and gradually restoring the operation of the imperial court.

At the end of April, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng, fearing that they would be killed, sent troops from Xiliang to attack Chang'an and resisted.

In late May, the Western Liang army captured Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and seized the ruling power of the imperial court.

The news spread all over the world, and the princes were shaken.

……

The land of the border stopper, Youzhou!

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao, and then Gongsun Chan was defeated and retreated, and had to retreat to Youzhou and return to Beiping. At the same time, Gongsun Zhan's Jizhou assassin Shi Yan Gang was killed by Yuan Shao, although Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao and lost the right to fight for Jizhou, but he still stationed troops in Youzhou, occupied a state, and his authority was not weaker than Yuan Shao.

Beiping, Taishou Mansion.

Gongsun Chan sat on the main seat, and below him were a group of military generals.

Among them, Tian Yu is the main minister, and the military general is mainly Gongsun Fan, the younger brother of Gongsun Zhan.

Tian Yu sat on the first place on the left, and said: "My lord, Chang'an has sent back the news, saying that Wang Yun was killed, Lu Bu was forced to leave, and Fan Chou and others took control of the government. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Chan laughed and said loudly: "This year, Chang'an is really chaotic. A few years ago, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an in order to avoid the princes' allies, and made chickens and dogs jump in Chang'an. It's only been a few months, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, but I didn't expect that more than a month later, Wang Yun was killed again, which was really a chaotic flow of feng shui. Now that Fan Chou, Li Meng and others are in control of the government, a group of horsemen are rampant, and it won't be long before someone will replace them. ”

He had a playful look on his face, like a spectator watching a play.

In today's world, the princes are together, wars are frequent, Fan Chou just temporarily took Chang'an, Gongsun Chan felt that Fan Chou would not take long and would be destroyed by other people, because Gongsun Chan thought that the emperor was a hot potato, and whoever took it would harm whom. He stayed in Youzhou and watched the play as a spectator, and he was very happy!

Tian Yu's talent is very outstanding, but he saw the benefits and suggested: "My lord, although the emperor is a double-edged sword and is well controlled, it is a good thing that can achieve great things. Why did the lord not send troops to fight against Fan Chou, support the emperor, control the emperor in his hands, and order the princes of the world. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Zhan shrank his head, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't, don't, the emperor is a scourge, let's stay in Youzhou and watch the play quietly." Didn't you see the fate of Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun? ”

After Tian Yu heard this, he immediately fell silent and did not continue to speak.

Can such a person achieve great things?

……

Jizhou, Yecheng, Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

In the hall, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, and Xu You, Judge, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng sat below.

Although the three of them were the last to follow Yuan Shao, they were very famous and occupied a place under Yuan Shao.

The six strategists are all loyal to Yuan Shao, and they all know Yuan Shao's ambitions.

Yuan Shao's gaze swept over the people in the hall and said, "You all already know the news of Chang'an, now that Wang Yun has been killed, Fan Chou, Li Meng, Zhang Ji and other villains have won their will, what is your opinion?" ”

When Xu You heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "Lord, the more chaotic Chang'an is, the better it will be for the lord. The Xiliang army is united on the surface, but after taking Chang'an, there will inevitably be a struggle for power, and when the Xiliang army has civil strife, maybe the emperor will be killed in the war. As soon as the emperor died, the dragons were leaderless, but it was a great opportunity for the lord to display his talents. ”

After Xu You finished speaking, a triumphant look appeared on his face.

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face also showed joy. As Xu Yu said, what Yuan Shao wanted was for the emperor to be killed. When the emperor died, he could justifiably ascend to the throne.

Last year, Yuan Shao sent someone to Liu Yu and proposed to make Liu Yu the emperor.

In this way, Yuan Shao will be able to control the government and deter the world. However, Liu Yu did not cooperate, which made Yuan Shao's plan fall through. Now Chang'an is in chaos, as long as Liu Xie is killed by the rebels, and all the heirs of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty are dead, there will be no orthodox emperor in the world. At that time, the world will rise together, and it will be Yuan Shao's opportunity.

At this time, Tian Feng stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, Feng thinks that it is not the best policy to sit idly by. ”

After Yuan Shao listened, he leaned forward slightly and asked, "Yuan Hao (Tian Fengzi), what do you think?" ”

Tian Feng turned out to be a strategist under Han Fu, upright and unavoidable, not reused by Han Fu, after returning to Yuan Shao, he was appointed by Yuan Shao as a special driver in Jizhou and became a member of Yuan Shao's strategist. Although Tian Feng has an upright personality, his ability is very outstanding, and Yuan Shao values Tian Feng very much and entrusts him with important tasks.

Tian Feng said loudly: "Lord, instead of waiting for the emperor to be killed, why not send troops to welcome back the little emperor, put the little emperor in the hands of the lord, and set the capital of Yecheng, wouldn't it be better." ”

After hearing this, he also stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The lord, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, the lord was born in the Yuan family, his status is noble, and the lord is benevolent and virtuous, his reputation is spread all over the world, and he has the right to welcome back the Son of Heaven." ”

After a pause, Fu Zhu continued: "The Han family is in a state of decline, the imperial court is in crisis, and the imperial family temple has also been burned down. The princes of the states and counties of the world are also disobedient to the yang and the yin, and do not obey the orders of the imperial court, and none of the princes attach importance to the society of the world. Now the lord occupies Jizhou, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the scholars are attached, if the emperor is welcomed in the west, the capital is set in Yecheng, you can coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes, crusade against the world's unsubordinated people, the army attacks, who can resist the lord's army. ”

Frustrated to speak, more tactful than Tian Feng, not so direct.

He first patted Yuan Shao's ass to please Yuan Shao, and then said his thoughts, which made Yuan Shao very comfortable after listening to it. After hearing this, Yuan Shao had the idea of sending troops to welcome back Liu Xie. He glanced at Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu's suggestion was the same as Tian Feng's, but Fu Zhu said it in more detail, and it was better than Xu Yu's plan.

Waiting passively is naturally better than taking the initiative.

Seeing Yuan Shao's intentions, Feng Ji immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Lord, Lord Fu only said the benefits of welcoming the Son of Heaven, but did not explain the disadvantages. Not only that, but the ministers of the DPRK and China are all coming, and they will definitely compete with the lord for power and profit, and when Jizhou is in turmoil, wouldn't it be even more troublesome. ”

After Feng Ji finished speaking, Guo Tu continued: "Lord, don't welcome back the Son of Heaven, if you welcome back the Son of Heaven, the Lord will not be able to stand on his own." Because the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, should the lord turn his back on his ancestors and be the one who usurped the Han Dynasty and became self-reliant? Even if the lord is the ancestor of the founding of the country, he will be scolded by future generations, and the lord's reputation will be ruined, such a strategy is not advisable. The lord let the little emperor stay in Chang'an, let the Xiliang army be in turmoil, and watch from the wall, which is the right reason. ”

This sentence is to the key point.

The Yuan family has been loyal ministers for generations, and when he came to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao used the reputation of the Yuan family to recruit scholars, and if he brazenly usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself, he would inevitably be spurned by the scholars. Therefore, Yuan Shao did not have the courage to abolish the emperor and usurp the Han dynasty to become independent. In this way, he can only wait for the emperor to be killed before he has a chance to stand on his own.

Yuan Shao didn't speak, but there was already a mess below.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are people in one camp, arguing in order to welcome the Son of Heaven; Xu You is a family of his own, although he is alone, this time he also joined forces with Guo Tu and Feng Ji to refute Tian Feng; But the judge watched from the wall, and did not speak. The two sides come and go, and it is very lively. In the hall, it was like a vegetable market, and there were constant quarrels.

Yuan Shao looked at the strategists in a mess, his head was as big as numbness, and he felt very difficult.

Historically, Cao Cao's evaluation of Yuan Shao's indecision was like this.

When Yuan Shao has too many advisers, it is difficult for him to make a choice, because the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and what everyone says makes sense, so that Yuan Shao doesn't know what to do? Perhaps, if Yuan Shao only had one or two strategists, the situation would be better, but Yuan Shao had many strategists, but it became a burden.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, the matter will be put on hold, no need to discuss, no more discuss." ”

He waved his hand and directly drank everyone back.

……

Yanzhou, the state pastoral office.

In the hall, Cao Cao sat on the main seat, and below him were Cao Cao's strategists.

Xun Yu is the first to sit on the left, Xi Zhicai is the first to sit on the right, and there are also Mao Jue, Man Chong, Liu Ye, Zao Di and others who Cao Cao just got in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's expression was solemn, and he said: "Now the Xiliang army is a disaster for the dynasty, the Son of Heaven is killed, and the loyal ministers are killed, I am ready to raise troops to rescue and defeat the Xiliang army, what do you think?" "Cao Cao was the Taishou of Dongjun at the beginning, and with the assistance of Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu, he used Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and other generals to successfully take Yanzhou and become the pastor of Yanzhou.

When he was in Yanzhou, Cao Cao not only recruited strategists such as Mao Jue and Man Chong, but also recruited generals such as Yu Ban, Li Dian, and Le Jin.

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, he spoke his inner thoughts.

Xun Yu was loyal to the Han family, and after hearing this, he immediately echoed: "The lord is right, the Son of Heaven was killed, and it was time to send troops to rescue, Yu agreed with the lord's decision to send troops to Chang'an." ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "The lord can't, the army has just entered Yanzhou, and the foundation is unstable. In the east of Yanzhou, there are Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers raging, and in the north, Yuan Shao's army is eyeing over; The Western Liang Army was stationed in Luoyang in the west, and Yuan Shu was waiting for an opportunity to move in the south. Although the lord occupies Yanzhou and has a foundation, he is in danger everywhere and is full of dangers, so he can't easily send troops! ”

After Xun Yu heard this, his expression darkened, and he sighed slightly.

As soon as he heard Xi Zhicai's words, he knew that he could not send troops to Chang'an.

When Mao Jue heard this, he said: "Lord, the words of Lord Xun and Master Xi are all reasonable, and they can be adopted." But a change in strategy is needed. As Lord Xi said, the lord occupies Yanzhou and has an unstable foundation, so it is necessary to pacify the internal troubles in Yanzhou and get rid of the threat of Qingzhou soldiers. After the foundation of the lord is stable, he can send troops to welcome the emperor into Yanzhou, and serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be a minister and crusade against the princes of the world. In this way, the Han family can flourish! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he happily stroked his palms and smiled: "Xiaoxian's words are reasonable, and they are good!" We will not send troops for the time being, first calm the internal troubles, rectify the sergeants, and when the strength is strong, we will send troops to welcome back the Son of Heaven. ”

"The lord is wise!"

In the hall, the crowd shouted.

Cao Cao stroked his short beard under his chin, a smile appeared on his slightly dark cheeks, and he secretly said in his heart: First, first, it seems that I am going to go first.

What Cao Cao thought in his heart, everyone in the hall naturally didn't know.

……

Unlike Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, Liu Bei sighed and was unable to send troops. As for Sun Jian, he was busy training the navy and preparing to conquer the land of Jiangdong, and it was impossible to send troops to rescue him. And Liu Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Liu Miao and other Han clan relatives never had the idea of sending troops.

All they thought about was to save themselves, and they didn't bother with Liu Xie's thoughts.
