Chapter 0759 - Frustrated and Degraded

The contradiction between Fu Zhu and Guo Tu broke out very quickly, which not only directly led to the deterioration of the war situation in Henan and the loss of the important town of Xingyang, but also seriously endangered the security of Luoyang, which Yuan Shao did not expect.

So far, Yuan Shao has not figured out how to properly solve the matter of frustration while ensuring the safety of Luoyang.

The power of frustration is too great, and many of the civil and military officials in Luoyang are his protΓ©gΓ©s, although he can use this matter to relieve the power of frustration, but at the same time, there is a great risk. Once he mishandled it and made Fu Zhu and many Jizhou civil and military feel that their lives were threatened, then Luoyang was very likely to break out into a greater crisis.

At the critical moment of the current conquest of the Central Plains, this crisis may have a fatal blow to the cause of his hegemony.

This result is something that Yuan Shao absolutely does not want to see.

Yuan Shao summoned Xu You, Xin Gaorou, and Feng Ji to discuss repeatedly.

Xu You's mood was very high, and he thought of a lot of solutions.

Xu You and Yuan Shao have been close friends for decades, and in order to rescue the party, they and a group of brothers were born and died. After Dong Zhuo rebelled and Yuan Shao fled Jizhou, he invited Xu You, and Xu You immediately rushed to Jizhou and did his best to help Yuan Shao. The crusade against Dong Zhuo, the forced Han Fu to occupy Jizhou, and the capture of Guanluo Chujian hegemony, Xu You can be said to have made outstanding achievements, but because Yuan Shao had to rely on the Jizhou forces led by Fu Zhu, he did not get Yuan Shao's reuse like Fu Zhu and became a pivotal figure in Luoyang, which made Xu You angry and depressed.

After Yuan Zhi gained a foothold in Guan and Luo, Xu Yu thought that with the support of the powerful Yingchuan and Runan forces behind him, he could replace the position of Fu Zhi, but it backfired. Because of the rupture of the relationship between Xu Valve and Yuan Valve, because of the intricate relationship between the various gate valve forces in Yingchuan and Runan, and because of Yuan Shaozhi's dispute over the heir of Wang Ye and Yuan Valve, the power struggle in Luoyang was extremely fierce, so Xu You not only failed to replace Fu Zhu, but was gradually alienated by Yuan Shao and became more and more distant from the center of power.

In order to save his position in Yuan Shao's heart, in the spring of last year, Xu Yu returned to his old business and went to the desert alone, saying that he would mobilize Ding Ling, Jiankun and other five ethnic groups to invade northern Xinjiang, forcing Li Yi to temporarily give up military operations in the Central Plains and go north to quell the rebellion, which won Yuan Shao the best opportunity to seize the Central Plains.

Through this incident, Xu You's status in Yuan Shao's mind has risen, but there is still a big gap with his expectations. It is even more difficult to replace frustration.

This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Xu You, so he spared no effort to make suggestions with Gao Rou and Feng Ji, intending to completely drive the Jizhou forces that had suppressed them for many years out of Luoyang.

Xu You believes that the situation is complicated at the moment, and the capture of the Central Plains is a top priority, and in order to quickly stabilize Luoyang, it is better to eradicate the Jizhou forces with lightning speed, so as not to leave endless troubles.

Gao Rou firmly disagreed. He believes that the eradication of the Jizhou forces is equivalent to a bloody storm in Luoyang, the action is too big, the impact is too great, and the involvement is too great, even if it succeeds and ensures the stability of Luoyang, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and the loss to Luoyang is immeasurable. Once there is an accident on the way, Luoyang may be greatly injured, and completely lose the opportunity to capture the Central Plains to establish the royal industry, so he suggested that it is better to be idle for the time being, gradually weaken the power of Yizhou, maintain the stability of Luoyang, and then think about it in the long run after taking the Central Plains.

Gao Rou's suggestion is related to his origin. He is neither from Yingchuan nor Runan, but from Chen Liu, and he is not exactly the same person as Xu You and Fengji. If the strength of Jizhou is completely eradicated, then he, Chen Liuren, will inevitably become a thorn in the side of the Yingchuan and Runan parties led by Xu You and Feng Ji, and the present day of Fu Zhi and others is his future. Gao Rou didn't want that to happen.

Gao Rou's suggestion of course drew opposition from Feng Ji and Xu You.

Feng Ji believes that if the Luoyang crisis is resolved according to Gao Rou's method, it will definitely be Yuan Tan who will get the greatest benefit from this crisis in the end.

Many people in the Jizhou forces insisted on standing tall rather than young, and strongly supported Yuan Tan to become the heir of Yuan Valve. When Yuan Tan got this opportunity, he was bound to spare no effort to harass them in order to consolidate and strengthen his own power. Yuan Tan has the full support of the civil and military officials from Jizhou, and his strength will definitely skyrocket, so Yuan Shang will have no chance. Such a result is different from Yuan Shao's plan.

This time, Yuan Shao only made up his mind to weaken the power of Jizhou, which was one of the main reasons.

However, Yuan Shao thinks that Gao Rou's worries are very reasonable. Gao Rou's exhortations are all based on stabilizing Yuan Shao's great cause, but Xu You is not, in order to gain power, he will do whatever it takes, and even disregard Yuan Shao's hegemony.

After Yuan Shao betrayed him from Zhang Miao, he no longer trusted his former group of old friends, although he still kept Xu You by his side, but because of the political differences between the two in recent years, there have been repeated disputes, Yuan Shao has completely distrusted him.

After being driven out of Luoyang this time, Yuan Shao planned to use him again and use his power to balance the forces of Yingchuan and Runan. In his opinion, as long as Xu You supports himself in establishing the royal industry, this person can still be trusted, but after talking about it today, Yuan Shao found that Xu You is no longer the high-spirited, directive, and loyal Xu You of more than ten years ago.

"After the Northern Xinjiang Army went south, the handling was seriously mishandled, which brought many crises to Luoyang, considering that this crisis was caused by the public rule's rebellion, and the main responsibility is not Fu Gonghe, so ......" Yuan Shao looked at the three of them and asked in an inquiring tone, "I plan to play the Son of Heaven, recommend him as the Great Honglu, and let him go to Xuchang to serve the Son of Heaven, what do you think?" Frustration and hard work are high, after all, this fault is nothing, and there is no need to be punished. ”

"Lord, it's a good way, it's a good way." Gao Rou applauded and praised.

Xu Yu and Feng Ji looked at each other and smiled bitterly. The lord was so indecisive that he finally refused to kill Fu Zhi, but only deprived him of his military power in disguise.

Gao Rou was dancing on the side and patting the lord's ass, Xu You and Feng Ji were not indifferent, so they had to stand up and compliment a few words.

After Cao Cao sent the Son of Heaven to Xuchang, in addition to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the other palaces of the imperial court also moved to Xuchang. Since the Son of Heaven is no longer in his hands, of course he is not willing to spend money to support a group of officials who eat and drink for nothing and do him no good. This court is purely an ornament, the personnel are not complete, and there is nothing to do in ordinary times, but it is good to get a good life and retirement.

At this time, in order to calm the Luoyang crisis, Yuan Shao let Fu Zhi go to the Xuchang Imperial Court to serve as Da Honglu, and Mingli was promoted to the official of Fu Zhi, affirming Fu Zhi's merits, but secretly depriving Fu Zhu of the power in his hands.

Everyone knows the real reason why Fu Zhu left Luoyang, but Yuan Shao used this method to remove Fu Zhu's power, and the officials from Jizhou could accept it and continue to be loyal to Yuan Shao, after all, their lives were not threatened, and their vested interests were not greatly damaged. On the contrary, Yuan Tan, who came forward to protect Guo Tu, suffered from the disaster of pond fish because of the hatred of Guo Tu by the officials of Jizhou, and Pingkong offended the forces that originally supported him, and suffered great losses.

"What to do with the public rules?" Xu Yu asked slowly.

"He now relies on someone to support him, and he doesn't even listen to me." Yuan Shao sneered, "However, everyone has been friends for many years, so there is no need to turn against each other because of this matter." Since I didn't punish Fu Gonghe, I won't embarrass him, let him go to Guanzhong. He didn't listen to me, and it was useless to stay in Luoyang. ”

Xu You asked again: "Who went to Hanoi to lead the army?" ”

"Let Linghu Shao go." Yuan Shao said, "I originally wanted Gao Gan to go, but if we return to Henan to help, we need to leave troops here." I think it would be more appropriate for Gao Gan to stay in Baima and Puyang. ”

"Frustrated and gone, who is in Luoyang?" Xu Yu asked again.

Yuan Shao glanced at him, and Xu Yu's expectant eyes had undoubtedly exposed what he was thinking in his heart.

"I plan to let Meng Qian (Yuan Wei) sit in Luoyang." The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth lifted a hint of ridicule and said, "Ziyuan, what do you think?" ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu You's eyes, and the smile on his face was a little bitter, a little heavy, and a little lonely.

"Brother Meng Qian's majesty is not enough to be more than friendly, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public when he is in Luoyang." Gao Rou pondered for a long time, and said cautiously, "My lord, this is a critical period for the capture of the Central Plains, and Luoyang must not be chaotic. In my opinion, it is better to let Xiansi (Yuan Tan) sit in Luoyang. It's a foolproof strategy. ”

"Guanzhong is very important, and Xiansi can't leave." Yuan Shao vetoed.

Gao Rou wanted to persuade again, but Yuan Shao waved his hand to stop him and said: "I know that it is a bit difficult for him to let Meng Qian sit in Luoyang, and it is indeed difficult to control the Luoyang Mansions with his prestige, so I plan to let Zhengnan (the trial) go back with him." ”

Xu You's face darkened, and a trace of resentment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Gao Rou was stunned for a moment, let out a soft "oh", and stopped talking.

Feng Ji was overjoyed, and spit out a series of flattering words in his mouth.

The frustration is gone, the civil and military officers from Jizhou are still there, and these people are now all over the Luoyang Prefecture and the army in various places, and many of them are in key positions and are familiar with military and political affairs, and they cannot be removed in the short term. With Yuan Wei's qualifications and prestige, it was difficult to command them.

The judge has a high prestige among the officials in Jizhou, second only to Fu Zhu, but in recent years, because of his political disagreement with Fu Zhu and others, he has gradually been squeezed aside by Fu Zhu using various opportunities, which is also one of the reasons why he and Yuan Shao got closer, and even was influenced by Yuan Shao, and turned to support Yuan Shang as the heir of Yuan Valve.

Yuan Shao's arrangement took all aspects into account. He relieved the power of the frustrated delegation, divided and weakened the Jizhou forces, dealt a blow to Yuan Tan's strength, further consolidated his own power, and laid the foundation for the next step of establishing the royal industry and appointing Yuan Shang as his heir.
