Chapter 177: The Yuan Brothers
Liu Biao wants to send troops to Nanyang, and Kuai Liang and others are not easy to stop, the key is that there is too much reason. www.biquge.info Even if it is them, they can't bear Yuan Shu entrenched in Nanyang. With such a large area of land and a population of more than one million, more importantly, Nanyang may threaten Jingzhou at any time. Who doesn't want to get rid of such an unstable factor as soon as possible?
However, Jingzhou was initially decided, and the people were at ease, and this sudden rise of troops was only afraid that the people would be panicked, and the people in Jingzhou were all civil officials, and they could strategize, but they couldn't go into battle to fight. How is this good? Everyone was worried and told Liu that it was difficult. When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, I will attack Nanyang in the name of Jingzhou's assassination history." Fight evil with righteousness, fight against adversity with shun, the dignified teacher, the people hear it, only joy, why is it uneasy? I have a subordinate Liu Pan, who is brave and good at fighting, skilled in soldiers and horses, and can be a general. And Jingzhou is vast and has many people, is there no warrior? It can be recruited in the pavilion. ”
Only Kuai Liang dissented and was about to speak, but Kuai Yue pulled his sleeves and returned to the mansion, Kuai Liang said: "Although Yuan Highway occupies Nanyang, he is leading the army to attack Dong Zhuo, and I Jingzhou will not send troops to help, how can I attack his back road?" If so, the world will lose hope. ”
Kuai Yue persuaded: "Brother, when the lord first came to Jingzhou, he was ambitious and wanted to establish his authority, the lord has made up his mind, and it is useless to persuade again, it is better to push the boat down the river and take advantage of the situation to take Nanyang." Yuan's courting for Dong is just for their own interests, and how much of them are sincere? ”
Kuai Liang sighed and said no more.
Soon after the list, countless heroes came to vote. Among them, the most outstanding person is a small general, named Wenpin, the word Zhongye, a native of Wanxian County, Nanyang, because he is not angry with Yuan Shu to exploit the people in Nanyang, and went south to Jiangling. When it comes to military affairs, the sons know the allusions well, and they are familiar with the marching formation. Liu Biao was overjoyed, and ordered him to be a partial general, and led the Jingzhou army together with Liu Pan, and the rest of the people were appointed as captains and horses depending on their talents.
In order to show his determination, Liu Biao also moved the Jingzhou Thorn History Administration from Jiangling to Xiangyang. Sitting at the forefront of the town, he said that he would not give up if he did not recover Nanyang. Chen Lan learned that Liu Biao's army had moved, and the troops were straight to Guiyang, so he also fought-for-tat, fortified in the area of Deng County and Xinye, and sent a Pegasus Express to the lord Yuan Shu to let him make plans early.
Yuan Shu was outside Luoyang City, he was full of ambition, and planned to enter the city with a whole army, but he received an urgent report from Chen Lan, and under a hurried glance, Yuan Shu was furious, and Liu Jingsheng dared to move me Nanyang? So Yuan Shu wrote back a letter, ordering Chen Lan to guard Nanyang no matter what. He will send troops back at his own time.
The princes of the three roads merged in Luoyang City. The nominal leader of the alliance is still there, so how to enter the city, the distribution of benefits after entering the city, and the next step, everyone has to gather together to discuss a charter.
Yuan Shao regained the grandeur of the children of that family in front of people. Treat people without leaking, so that people are like a spring breeze. However, when he saw his younger brother Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao did not have a good face.
The grievances between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu began when they were children. Both brothers are the sons of Yuan Feng, but Yuan Shao is the eldest son and Yuan Shu is the second son. At this time, everything pays attention to personal names, and the treatment of concubines is naturally different. Later, Yuan Feng's brother Yuan Cheng died early, and there was no one under his knees, so he passed Yuan Shao to Yuan Cheng and became Yuan Cheng's son-in-law. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went hand in hand. Yuan Shao's grandfather was very fond of Yuan Shao because of Yuan Cheng's early death, and now it's okay, Yuan Shu's heart is unbalanced again.
Yuan Shusu came to see Yuan Shao can't afford it, so the two brothers have been fighting for everything since they were young, of course, Yuan Shao is still very eldest brother and more generous. Yuan Shu is different, he is the one who causes trouble every time. Yuan Shao's bearing is okay, and it's not a big deal, he laughs it off every time.
But this time it's different. This time, Yuan Shao had conspired to set up Liu Yu as the Son of Heaven in Sour Zao, and while the princes echoed it, Yuan Shu clearly expressed his opposition. Yuan Shu enjoyed it well, seeing that the Han family was declining and the world was in chaos, he would rather let the young son of heaven be played with by Dong Zhuo between applause, rather than have a young adult monarch press on his head. However, Yuan Shu's statement was a slap in Yuan Shao's face, and at the same time, the world saw the internal disputes and cracks of the Yuan family's gate valve.
Although this matter was finally resolved after Liu Bei rescued the Queen Mother and King Hongnong. But Yuan Shao was holding his breath in his heart and had nowhere to vent. Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Shu was too ignorant. Before, the two brothers could fight no matter how they fought at home behind closed doors, but when the Yuan disciples were outside, they must work together, they must be unified, and there can be no different voices. And Yuan Shu did this, which was to sweep his face desperately, he was the leader of the Dong League in the Kanto region, and to sweep his face was to sweep Yuan's own face. And Yuan Shao also had to wonder if Yuan Shu wanted to make his voice heard and fight against him?
This situation is absolutely not allowed by Yuan Shao, even if it is a big family, resources are limited. The collar of each generation. The sleeve character can only be one person, and this generation can only be him Yuan Shao. This is also recognized by the previous generation. Because in terms of ability and communication, there is no doubt that Yuan Shao is indeed much stronger than Yuan Shu.
In Yuan Shao's view, a united Yuan clan is a powerful Yuan clan, and now Yuan Shu wants to engage in splitting, how can he be willing? Naturally, he didn't have a good face to show Yuan Shu. In fact, the Yuan family in history, one south and one north, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, have all dominated one side, if his brothers unite, maybe the history of the future will be completely rewritten, and there will be nothing to do with Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce. After all, these three later overlords were once attached to the Yuan family.
Yuan Shu saw that his brother's face was not good, and he was not afraid. He is not afraid of beating him when he is young, is he still afraid of him now that he has a territory and an army? Yuan Shu saluted casually and walked inside. Yuan Shao was so angry that his nose was about to crooked, this bastard, is this an attitude towards his brother? Is this an attitude towards the alliance leader?
There was another assembly, and the princes were all together. Yuan Shao sat in the main seat and swept over the princes in the hall, and the feeling that everything was under control came back, which was good. It's a pity that compared to before, there are two people missing in the hall. One is Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and the other is Cao Cao, who went to Yangzhou to recruit troops and is still on the way back.
Liu Bei sat under Yuan Shao, the first on the left, and opposite him was Yuan Shu. Compared with everyone in the court, although Liu Bei is young and has little qualifications, who makes him strong? So he sat here, and the princes had no objections. Yuan Shu sat first on his right hand, which was also expected. Because among the princes, in addition to Liu Bei, Yuan Shu fought with the Xiliang army repeatedly. Others, it's just soy sauce.
Yuan Shaoqing coughed and spoke: "The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is unified, Dong is rebellious and unkind, the disaster is supreme, and the people are poisoned." It is with us and other people with lofty ideals who raise their arms and shout, and the world responds. Each army will be allied with sour dates, work together, and go to the national disaster together, so as to the ministers' festival. After months of fierce battles, he finally repelled the thief Dong Zhuo, so that he had to move west to Chang'an to avoid the edge of our army. This is a brilliant victory for our Dong Alliance! It is also a common victory for all of you here! Come on, let's toast together and congratulate the coalition! Congratulations to the Great Han! ”
This is a high-sounding saying, and everyone loves to hear it. So they raised their glasses and drank together. The atmosphere immediately became enthusiastic.
Yuan Shao spoke again: "Since the discussion of Dong, Xuande has led the army to experience the battle formation, won many battles, and made great contributions to the recovery of Luodu. ”
Liu Bei smiled and accepted it calmly. Yuan Shao drank the wine, looked at Liu Bei, and thought of his polite words, saying a few words such as Yuan Meng's master strategizing, painstaking, and hard work, but Liu Bei didn't say a word. Yuan Shao was disappointed in his heart, but on the surface, he still talked and laughed with everyone.
Yuan Shu is below, thinking that he will talk about me later. As a result, Yuan Shao never mentioned the military again, and went to exchange cups with others. Yuan Shu was furious in his heart, and said in his heart, I also sent troops to fight against the Xiliang general Hu Zhen, and finally caused his troops to be defeated and retreat to Dagu Pass, isn't this a credit? What did you Yuan Shao do again? It is the closest to Luoyang, only separated by a river, but it has lost many battlefields, lost troops and lost generals, and was blocked on the river bank and could not enter, hum! What is this ability?
Yuan Shao didn't mention Yuan Shu, not because he was narrow-minded, but because he was part of the same family, he was already the leader of the alliance, so he was too embarrassed to brag about himself, and then went to advocate for Yuan Shu. Anyway, everyone knows what Yuan Shu has done, so there's no need to be polite. It's a pity that Yuan Shu didn't think much about it. I just thought it was Yuan Shao's revenge. As a result, Yuan Shu was even more dissatisfied in his heart. A deeper crack appeared between the two brothers.
After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Shao began to discuss with everyone, and asked what everyone planned to do next? This question, everyone was dumbfounded. Yuan Shao asked like this, definitely not about entering the city, but about continuing to ask Dong.
Yuan Shao has already taken everyone to see the map before, Dong Zhuo is now heavily armed in Hanguguan, Huangchi, Xin'an, and Shaanxi County, and he has to fight all the way, how much food will be consumed, and how many people will be killed and wounded?
The princes thought in their hearts, that is, they defeated Dong Zhuo and killed him, and finally rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and the biggest profiteer was not you Yuan Shao? What can we get? How can the official and the knight be as free as now. The princes also think clearly, now they are on their own territory, they have money, food, people and horses, and they are the princes of the party who claim to be the king and hegemon at will. If Dong Zhuo dies and the Son of Heaven comes to the east, he will get himself to the court when the time comes, even if it is the Three Princes and Nine Emperors, the world is a little loud, whether it is a natural or man-made disaster, it will be dismissed, it is better to be free in the place.
In that case, why do you have to do it yourself? Responding to your Yuan Shao's call before, one is to give Yuan face, and the other is to brush down the sense of existence in front of the world. Now that these two goals have been achieved, Luoyang has also been recovered, and then westward? Forget it.
The princes had a small calculation in their hearts, and Yuan Shao was not clear. In fact, at this point, Yuan Shao is not very willing to continue, but he is the leader of the alliance, and it is imperative to do it, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to continue hard.
Seeing that the princes collectively lost their voices, Liu Bei bowed slightly, and bowed his hand to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, if I can ensure the supply of military food, I am willing to be the vanguard of the princes, raise troops to the west, sweep away Dong Rebellion, and protect the return of the Son of Heaven to the east!" ”
Sun Jian was also in the middle of the banquet, and when he heard Liu Bei's words, his heart was happy, and he was full of pride, and he also arched his hand and said: "I am also willing to be a pioneer and go west with Xuande!" ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Sun Jian, and the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile. Yuan Shu glared at Sun Jian dissatisfied, he also wanted to plan to raise troops to help Chen Lan, so that Liu Biao knew that he was powerful. Who knew that Sun Jian made an unauthorized statement.
Sun Jian didn't pay attention to Yuan Shu, he was full of pride in his chest at this time, looked down on the princes, and secretly thought, the princes of the world, Shexuande and me, who dares to be the hero?
