Yuan Shu lifted Tao Qian's letter, smashed it to the ground, and said angrily: "Play around, we all play for Li Yi." The most annoying thing is still Yuan Shao's idiot, the knife is on his neck, he is still fighting with me for the position of the head of the family, bastard things......"

There was silence in the lobby.

"Lord, then we ......" Li Ye hesitated, "Do we take the initiative to discuss with Li Yi?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Immediately draw up a counterinsurgency document and report it to the world." In addition, I sent an urgent letter to Yuan Shao, as well as Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, Han Fu and others, explaining my thoughts and asking for peace with the hussar generals, and immediately raise troops to quell the rebellion. Let's get the name of righteousness first. This time, I want to see what else Yuan Shao is better than me. ”

"Boxing, you go to Xiangcheng and meet Li Yi." Yuan Shu pointed at Li Ye and said, "A few of us take Tao Qian's letter and go to meet my uncles and uncles and uncles, I don't believe it, I can't convince them." ”

Yuan Shu, Li Ye and others had just written a counterinsurgency document to the world, and they would report it when they came, and Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the hussar general, came.

Yuan Shu and the others were overjoyed and hurried out to greet them.

After everyone sat down, Yang Hong first showed the document to Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen was very happy and hurriedly took out Li Yi's letter. Sure enough, as Yuan Shu expected, Li Yi proposed a peace proposal under the pretext of counterinsurgency, and proposed a four-party counterbalance strategy for the first time. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are two of the four powers.

Li Ye said unceremoniously: "Brother Berwyn, what does the hussar general mean by this?" Isn't this a clear attempt to start the Yuan family's infighting? ”

Liu Bowen smiled calmly: "General Yuan Highway is the head of the Yuan Valve's family, of course, he has to be counted as one, and Yuan Benchu is holding the so-called 'Edict of Inheritance', and he can barely be counted as one." ”

Yuan Shu's face changed.

Yan Xiang hurriedly asked, "Who said this?" ”

"Of course it's my father-in-law." Liu Bowen said with a smile.

Yuan Shu asked: "I proposed the counterbalance strategy, and I also proposed the proposal to counterbalance the rebellion, I wonder if the hussar general can accept it?" ”

Liu Bowen laughed and said, "My lord has something to say first. As long as General Yuan agrees to check and balance and quell rebellion, Northern Xinjiang can only be followed by General Yuan. ”

Yang Hong accompanied Liu Bowen to the other courtyard to rest, and Yuan Shu, Li Ye and others carefully read the letter of the hussar general Li Yi.

In this letter, Li Yi elaborated on his views on the current Gyeonggi crisis, and proposed checks and balances and the benefits of checks and balances for temporary social stability.

Li Yi said at the end of the letter: "If Brother Highway agrees to check and balance, and is willing to work together to send troops to quell the rebellion, I will do my best to help Brother Highway eradicate the traitors." Take revenge and hatred, to disrupt the society, and realize the unfulfilled wish of the Taifu. ”

Yuan Shu smiled at Li Ye and the others: "How is it?" The hussar general did not mention Luoyang in the book, and his intention was very obvious, he would not let us enter Luoyang to gather troops to attack Dong Zhuo. ”

"It's just that in this way, the situation is very unfavorable for us." Xun Zheng said, "Although the lord can be awarded the world's meritorious service for temporarily quelling the Gyeonggi crisis with the strategy of checks and balances, and can be awarded the righteous title for sending troops to quell the rebellion and temporarily resolve the crisis of Sheji, but the lord and the prefectures and counties need to send troops to Yanqing and Xu to quell the rebellion." Counterinsurgency takes time. It takes a lot of money and troops, and Dong Zhuo and Li Yi can take this opportunity to get enough respite to recover. Once they heal their wounds, we ......"

"Li Yi's statement is right, you can't help but worry about it." Yuan Shu said, "Due to Li Yi's obstruction, we are now powerless to attack Luoyang. If the ant thief rebellion in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou cannot be quelled in time, resulting in the disaster of spreading to the destruction of the country, then we will face an existential crisis. Everyone had to put more effort into quelling the rebellion, and then the results were terrible. We're scarred. The strength was greatly damaged, not only was he powerless to attack Dong Zhuo. There is a possibility of being eradicated by Dong Zhuo. ”

"We now agree to Li Yi's counterbalance and take the initiative to join forces with him to quell the rebellion, and the result will be very different. With the participation of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the counterinsurgency was naturally much faster and easier. We can also get what we want because of Li Yi's support, and Li Yi can also recover because of our help. ”

"After the end of the counterinsurgency, Li Yi will continue to work with us to stabilize the society. Or is it a mess with Dong Zhuo for treachery and chaos? Obviously, Li Yi will choose the former. If Li Yi wants to join forces with Dong Zhuo, why bother to spend so much effort? Wouldn't it be okay for him to take Jizhou and Nanyang directly? ”

Li Ye, Xun Zheng, Yan Xiang and others think about it. Li Yi did this, although the main purpose was to stabilize his northern Xinjiang, but for all parties in the dispute. Especially for the precarious social sector, isn't the benefits outweighs the disadvantages?

Yuan Shu and the others discussed for a long time, repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally made up their minds.

Yan Xiang immediately went to ask Liu Bowen to discuss the matter.

Looking at the back of Yan Xiang leaving in a hurry, Li Yechang sighed: "Where do we put the Son of Heaven and the court in this way?" ”

Yuan Shu sneered: "What is the Son of Heaven these days? Look at Dong Zhuo and Li Yi, two of the most powerful ministers of my Han Dynasty. Who takes the Son of Heaven and the court in his eyes? Dong Zhuo arbitrarily deposed the Son of Heaven and seized power, and Li Yi wantonly trampled on the imperial power and despised Tianwei. These two people can do whatever they want, do whatever they want, and they have long been lawless. The Son of Heaven is an ornament now, and the court is an empty shelf, and it will ...... in the future."

Yuan Shu sneered: "Only by killing these two people in the future can my big man have any hope of revival." ”

After Liu Bowen arrived, Yuan Shu said to him: "I will redraft the text." Tell the world the counterbalance and counterinsurgency, so that he and the hussar generals can quickly join forces to quell the Gyeonggi crisis in the shortest possible time, fight the ant thief rebellion, and stabilize the society. ”

Then Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Since I have agreed to the suggestion of the Hussar General, can the Hussar General and Gongsun Zan send troops to Yangzhai City, open the blockade of the Xiliang Army, and let Sun Jian return safely?" ”

Liu Bowen said: "After my lord and General Sun Zan received General Yuan's reply, Yang Zhaicheng will of course return it to General Yuan, and Sun Jian will return to Luyang safe and sound." It's just that General Yuan should also make some indications? ”

Yuan Shu nodded and said: "The Xiliang army retreats to the Yin boundary in Henan, and I will withdraw the army, and then I will wait for the news of the hussar general in Nanyang." As soon as the hussar general is invited, I will immediately send someone to consult with you about all kinds of specific strategies to counterbalance and quell the rebellion. ”

"What about the grain?" Liu Bowen asked, "Can we buy grain at will in places like Yuzhou and Jingzhou?" ”

"Hussar generals can, but Dong Zhuo can't." Yuan Shu said, "If you give the grain to Dong Zhuo, I will immediately block all the main roads. I will never let Dong Zhuo get a grain of grain. ”

The next day, Liu Bowen took Yuan Shu's reply and left.

The imperial court appeased Taichang Ma Riyan, and the imperial history of the emperor Fu Song and Shang Shu Ling Ding Palace also arrived in Nanyang Wancheng at this moment.

Yuan Shu didn't go out of the city to pick it up, but ordered Li Ye to ask first, what are they doing here? If they were assigned by Dong Zhuo to negotiate peace, then they would be exempted and told to go back to Chang'an immediately. If it is ordered by the Son of Heaven to give an order, I will take it.

Huangfu Song said to Li Ye, you go and tell Yuan Highway that we are here to make an order by the Son of Heaven, and it has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo.

After entering the city, Yuan Shu received the order. It's just that Shang Shuling Ding Gong hadn't read a few sentences before Yuan Shu jumped up and shouted, "Fu? What kind of fussing? Am I a big man rebel? Am I an ant thief in the country? Where is this the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, this is clearly Dong Zhuo's edict. I don't accept that. ”

Ma Riyan scolded angrily: "Yuan Highway, you dare to disobey the holy decree, do you still have the Son of Heaven in your eyes?" ”

Yuan Shu sneered: "My Yuan family has been loyal for generations, loyal to the Son of Heaven, and loyal to the Han, but I am not loyal to the traitor, not loyal to Dong Zhuo." Today, the Son of Heaven is coerced by a traitor, the government is controlled by a traitor, and my Yuan family is even more brutally killed by a traitor, how can I accept the holy decree of this traitor and obey the mercy of this traitor? ”

Yuan Shu turned around and pointed at Yang Hong and said, "Read the text to a few angels." ”

Ma Riyan, Huangfu Song and Ding Gong listened to the text prepared by Yuan Shu, and they were immediately surprised and delighted.

Surprisingly, the hussar general was still one step faster, he not only succeeded in convincing Yuan Shu, but also trampled on the Han Emperor and the law to the end, and the Han was in danger.

Happily, the purpose of this trip was achieved, Yuan Shu not only stopped attacking Luoyang, but also went with Li Yi to conquer the ant thieves, and the Gyeonggi crisis was temporarily resolved.

"I, Yuan Shu, swear by the sky today. I respect the son of today, and I am willing to break my bones for the Han Society. Yuan Shu pointed to the sky and said loudly with righteousness and solemnity, "After I have quelled the rebellion of the ant thieves, I will join forces with the hussar general to attack the west, eradicate the traitors, and welcome the Son of Heaven back to Beijing to govern." ”

Yuan Shu resolutely refused to accept the decree of appeasement, but he accepted the decree of the Son of Heaven to be canonized.

He is now justifiably the future general and the leader of Nanyang Taishou, and he also became the Marquis of Yang Zhai, with 2,000 households. Sun Jian received the holy decree of the general who was confined, and he also received it on behalf of Sun Jian.

At this time, it was no longer important for Ma Riyan and the other three to be appeased, it was important to persuade him to accept the internal checks and balances proposed by Huangfu Song, so as to completely resolve the Gyeonggi crisis and let the Son of Heaven return to Beijing as soon as possible. Revive the dynasty and save the Han Dynasty that was about to be overturned.

The three of them are all Yuan Shu's elders, and they are also the world-famous Han ministers, and Yuan Shu can't ignore the suggestions they put forward, but he can't bear to be a minister in the same hall as Dong Zhuo. This is not only because Dong Zhuo killed more than 50 lives of Yuan Kui and the Yuan family, but more importantly, it involves righteousness. If you shake hands with Dong Zhuo and make peace, what explanation will you make for Dong Zhuowen? How will Yuan Valve stand between the government and the opposition in the future?

"Dong Zhuo will not be punished, I will never return to the court." Yuan Shu said very resolutely, "This. Please understand the three angels. Now that the ant thieves in Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou are raging, the society is in turmoil, and quelling the riot is far more important than eradicating the traitors, so I don't want to fight Luoyang, I want to put aside the matter of asking Dong for the time being, and go to Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou with the hussar general to quell the rebellion. When the rebellion is settled, I will settle Dong Zhuo's matter with the hussar general. (To be continued.) )
