Chapter 249: Yuan Shu's Ambition
In the spring of the fourth year of the first peace. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Cao personally led the army and attacked the Yuan Shu Department General Liu Shen in Kuangting. The momentum of the Yanzhou army is like a rainbow and the offensive is like a tide. Liu Shen was caught off guard and couldn't resist it, so he sent several batches of flying horses and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was rewarded, and he didn't dare to slack off, Kuangting's terrain was important and there was no room for loss. So he went to save him.
It's a pity that he was still a step late, and when he arrived, Liu Shen had been beheaded by Cao Hong, and his troops were defeated. When the Yuan Shu army arrived, they were scattered by the rout, Cao Cao saw the opportunity, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and led the army to attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was difficult to care about, and he was defeated and retreated. retreated to Fengqiu until the generals who stayed behind in Fengqiu came out together.
Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and others resisted Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others together, and only then did they stabilize their position. Yuan Shu retired to seal the hill, and Cao Cao tun the army outside. The two families are hostile to each other and confront each other.
When Fang entered Yanzhou, he was defeated for a while. Yuan Shu's fanatical head couldn't help but sober up. He led his troops to fight against Cao's army, and keenly found that Cao Cao's troops were not inferior to his troops in terms of sophistication, and it is no exaggeration to say that they were even better. At the same time, several members of Cao Cao's command will be trapped for him. It seems that Yanzhou's fat is not easy to chew. When did Cao Mengde become so powerful?
Yuan Shu sighed deeply, do you want to transfer Sun Wentai over? Sun Jian is the number one general under his command. But the relationship between the two families is more like an ally, rather than a subordinate of their own who can be trusted. It's just that Sun Jian's strength is weak and he is temporarily attached to himself. Yuan Shu saw this very clearly. Therefore, many times, he likes to hand over all the dirty work to Sun Jian to do in order to consume his strength. But this time, he didn't want to. Before in Nanyang, he had always let Sun Jian be in front of him when he confronted Liu Biao. As a result, his descendants complained and did not say anything, and won a lot of sympathy for Sun Jian. If you don't let your sons and daughters fight a few battles, let them have some military exploits and make some oil and water, I'm afraid that they will really be unable to suppress it. Besides, if Sun Jian is allowed to do anything, wouldn't it seem even more incompetent to be the master?
Yuan Shu looked at the map on the case, and suddenly didn't want to entangle with Cao Cao. What if he won Yanzhou, his brother Yuan Shao in the north and Liu Bei in the east, he didn't like these two people very much. Moreover, in the land of the four wars in Yanzhou, there are so many bandits, which is really a draining thing. It's better to go south to Yangzhou.
Look at this world, disputes are everywhere, and only places like Yizhou and Yangzhou are relatively peaceful. In this troubled world, it is becoming more and more precious. Yizhou is in a corner of peace, and it is the clan Liu Yan who runs there. Yuan Shu didn't want to go there and toss. As for Yangzhou, Yuan Shu is more interested.
The six counties of Yangzhou, at the peak of Dingkou more than 6 million, even after previous turmoil, now only Dingkou is not less than 4 million. There are also large rivers as natural obstacles. If this place is the foundation, a few years of operation is enough to build the foundation for the king...... The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more excited he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yangzhou was much better than Yanzhou.
Since Yanzhou can't take it, why don't you go to Yangzhou?
When Yuan Shu was in Nanyang, he did not cultivate the law, plundered money for capital, was insatiable, and the people suffered a lot. Later, Yuan Shu met a person who claimed to be a Qi Refiner of Zhongnan Mountain, and the two talked happily. Parting, Yuan Shu asked the Taoist to point out the fortune of the world, and the Taoist pondered for a long time, and said: "Those who represent the Han should be Tu Gaoye." With that, he drifted away.
Since ancient times, the study of weft has been very marketable in China. When the end of Qin, the Yellow River dug out the stone man, engraved on the body, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, there were strips of cloth in the belly of the fish, and Liu Bang cut the white snake...... All kinds of legends are very mysterious, and of course, there are many events that are man-made. However, the phrase "those who represent the Han should be Tu Gao" has been popular for many years. Even when he was as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this sentence was still very marketable.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patrolled the river and feasted the ministers, he said: "The Han Dynasty has six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again, who should be the descendants of the clan?" Six, seven, and forty-two generations of Han, when Tu Gao also. ”
The ministers said: "Han Yingtian was ordered, Zuo surpassed Zhou Yin, children and grandchildren, forever, Your Majesty can be said to be this country, too much to listen to the concubines?" ”
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "I am drunk. However, since ancient times, I have not heard of a surname who is the king of the world, but if you lose it, it is not my father and son. ”
It can be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw this issue very clearly, and he was worthy of a generation of heroes. Superstition is unavoidable. But he still knows that there has never been a dynasty with one family name that can last forever......
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was regent, and the world was in chaos. Gongsun Shu according to Yizhou, citing many proverbs, saying that Emperor Chang was abolished and Gongsun was established; Emperor Xuanyuan was ordered, and the Gongsun clan held and so on. I thought that I had a strange pattern on my hand, which was the Rui of Jianyuan Longxing, so he called the emperor in Yizhou, and the country name became a family. At that time, Emperor Guangwu wrote a letter to Gongsun Shu, saying that the Gongsun mentioned in the diagram referred to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the picture says that those who represent the Han should be painted high. Are you going to be high? …… Think again.
In the end, Gongsun Shu was defeated and the whole clan was wiped out. This proverb disappeared for a while.
Nearly two hundred years after Guangwu Zhongxing, Yuan Shu actually heard this proverb again. It was still said to him by a Taoist like an old fairy. Is there something mysterious about this?
Yuan Shu thought about it for a long time after thinking about it in Nanyang. Suddenly I thought, my own name, the word road, the art and the road, are all the way. Tu and Tutong. Is this prophecy supposed to be on oneself? And the Yuan family came from the ancient Chen State, is a descendant of Shun, according to the five virtues of the beginning of the theory, Emperor Shun is the virtue of the earth, the Han is the virtue of fire, to the yellow generation of red, the second of virtue luck, is in line with the mandate of heaven.
As soon as he figured out this section, Yuan Shu trembled with excitement. In this era when everyone believed in the destiny of heaven, in fate, and in all kinds of visions, they suddenly found that this destiny seemed to be on their heads. This big pie almost knocked Yuan Shu unconscious.
So later, Yuan Shu reined in Nanyang, and then found that even so, the people in this place did not have a good impression of themselves, and the relationship between the masses was not good, which made Yuan Shu very worried. It just so happened that Liu Biao was very aggressive and aggressive. Yuan Shu wanted to pack up Nanyang's valuable things, and then retreated to Yuzhou. As a result, before he could act, his grain route was cut off by Liu Biao, and the army could not go without food for a day. Yuan Shu had no choice but to hurriedly lead his troops into Yuzhou.
That is, in Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's ambition swelled rapidly like weeds in spring. It is a plan to go north to Yanzhou and south to Yangzhou.
Yuan Shu planted a fight in Yanzhou, and he still did not give up, and he had not safely returned to Yuzhou, but his eyes were on Yangzhou again.
The Central Plains is in turmoil, and Liangzhou is not peaceful.
Since the defeat of Dong Zhuo. The generals of Liangzhou were forced to raise troops to resist to protect themselves because of the court's refusal to forgive them. As a result, he easily invaded Chang'an, Wang Yun and others died in prison, and Lu Bu fled eastward in a hurry. All of a sudden, the generals of Liangzhou were added to the rank of knight, controlling the government and being proud.
The generals of Liangzhou have started from the end of Wei, and they have been fighting for many years, saying that they are all fighting in the first place. But how to govern is all blind. had to rely on the princes of the court.
So the three dukes were changed again, and because Huangfu Song was seriously ill, he worshiped Guanglu's doctor Zhou Zhong as a lieutenant and participated in the Shangshu affair. Let the public govern together.
Leaving behind the cumbersome government affairs, the generals began to scramble for pleasure. He waited for many years to be stationed outside, and those places were either dangerous places or wilderness. I was used to the wind and sand and hardships in the northwest, and then entered Chang'an. It's really a mess of flowers, and it's getting more and more charming. Chang'an has been the imperial capital for hundreds of years, although the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty has been moved to Luoyang for nearly 200 years, but the heritage is still there. As the former imperial capital, there are several heroic cities in the world, and the romance and prosperity here are not comparable to ordinary counties and counties. The leader of the Liangzhou department is like this, and you can imagine what will happen to the soldiers below.
As a result, in one day, disturbing the people happened repeatedly. In Chang'an City, there are countless grievances. The imperial court got the report and informed Li and Guo Zhuren, so that they could restrain the soldiers and not harm the people. The generals looked up to the sky and laughed. What are you kidding, the sons and daughters have been fighting with the Qiang people for many years, isn't all this for the sake of the court and the people? Without us, we will throw our heads and spill blood, can you live comfortably in Chang'an City? Now that we're in the city, let's eat, drink, and get some, you can't stand it?
With such an attitude of the commander, the soldiers under his command were even more unscrupulous. Shang Shutai, Yang Biao sighed and threw the book in his hand on the ground. The documents that reported the Liangzhou soldiers in Chang'an City were like snowflakes, but what could he do? What else can be done besides reprimand? A few words of reprimand, it doesn't hurt or itch, with the cheekiness of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, how can they take it to heart?
If there is really any action, I am afraid that the people of Liangzhou will riot again. In the last Chang'an Rebellion, the city was full of blood and pestles, the dead and wounded were not counted, and the vitality was greatly damaged. How can they withstand another toss?
Alas, the martial arts are in turmoil. Yang Biao thought quietly.
Look at this world, the Son of Heaven has ever had the slightest bit of authority. The states were divided among the princes who had mastered the army. appoint local county guards and county ordinances on their own, collect taxes and mint money on their own. On the surface, they respect the Son of Heaven, but they never pay tribute and support...... Even the Son of Heaven is even coerced by these martial artists, is this world still the world of the Han Dynasty?
How did the situation suddenly become like this in just a few years?
Yang Biao misses the first emperor very much. Although during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the world was messed up by him, but at least, the supreme majesty of the imperial court was still able to suppress the place. At the very least, it can still be guaranteed in terms of the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the taxation of finances. Where is it like now, there is only one place with three auxiliaries to support the imperial court. From the whole world to the ministers, life is tight, it's too poor.
Yang Biao thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the Son of Heaven summoned him to the right yesterday and talked about returning to the east.
has been with the Son of Heaven for so long, although the Son of Heaven is young, he is naturally intelligent, and knowing such a situation is extremely unfavorable to the Han. Then he reiterated the suggestion of going to the emperor and returning to Luoyang with his ministers.
To be honest, who doesn't want to go back to Luoyang. Yang Biao also thought. But is this really possible? Will the Liangzhou generals agree?
Alas, if the Son of Heaven is the eldest son of the emperor, how much? Yang Biao thought about the performance of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, and then compared the performance of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and in the end, he was full of worries and only turned into a long sigh.
PS: I'm sorry everyone, but there are too many things to do. The update has been shaky lately, and it will be nice in a while.
