Han Dao world

He couldn't tell Xu You that it was Yuan Shao who cut off my food and grass and didn't want me to make meritorious deeds?

To be honest, he didn't really believe it himself.

But that's what it is.

Due to the lack of food and grass, he had to dismiss the Han Hu cavalry in Youzhou first, and then let Xian Yufu and others leave. In the end, only a few thousand people remained to confront Gongsun Zan.Even so, Yuan Shao could not supply food and grass in time, and he and Qu Yi could not retreat. Therefore, they were chased by Gongsun Zan, lost all their weight in the cart, and returned in embarrassment.

If Yuan Shao could supply food and grass in time, why did it come to this?

He has been unable to understand Yuan Shao's thoughts.

"Gongheng, you are still too young." Xu You sighed. "Seeking fish from a tree is not only useless, but also harmful. Don't you understand such a truth?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment. "Xu Jun, you mean..."

"The emperor issued an edict, calling the lord the prefect of Bohai Sea, but worshiping you as the general who conquered the north and leading the governor of Youzhou.

Liu He was greatly surprised. "Is it true that the emperor called the lord the Bohai prefect?"

Xu You sighed.

Suddenly, Liu He let out a sigh of relief.

After Yuan Shao received the edict, he was furious and deeply ashamed, but he dared not make it public.

One is afraid of being laughed at, and the other is afraid that Han Fu's old officials will make trouble because of it.

So rumors were spreading outside, but no one dared to speak out.Liu He is neither from Jizhou nor close to Yuan Shao. Although he heard some rumors, he didn't know the truth.

Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know.

But Xu You made it clear at this moment, and he naturally understood Xu You's reason for coming.

Yuan Shao didn't want him to take charge of Youzhou, but Xu You wanted to help him.

"Xu Jun, what should I do?" Liu He left the table and bowed deeply.

Xu You took advantage of the situation to reveal all his plans.

Gongsun Zan is still struggling, without the support of Jizhou, and only with the manpower and material resources of Youzhou, it will be difficult for you to take down Gongsun Zan.It is better to ask Yuan Shao to send Yuan Tan as the general and you as the deputy to attack Gongsun Zan together, so that Yuan Shao can rest assured.

Liu He was a little embarrassed.

He felt that although Yuan Tan was smart, he was too young and lacked combat experience.The battlefield is dangerous, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries.As Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan really should not take risks.

It would be better to let Qu Yi assist him.

They cooperated very well in the previous battles, and the effect was not bad.

In the Battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi became famous in the first battle, and his deterrent power against Gongsun Zan was by no means comparable to that of Yuan Tan.

Xu You sneered and looked at Liu He without saying a word.

Liu He was very helpless, thinking about it, and finally had to accept Xu You's suggestion.

He has no other choice.

Xu You's plan may not make him the governor of Youzhou, but it gives him a chance to take revenge.

The revenge of killing the father is never shared.

The rest will be discussed later.

Liu He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, hoping that Yuan Shao would appoint Yuan Tan as a general and him as his deputy, and they would take Gongsun Zan together.

In order to express his gratitude, he did his best and gave Xu You a generous gift.

Everyone in Yecheng knows that Xu You is greedy for money.

Xu You returned with satisfaction.

Chapter 272

After hearing Xu You's reply, Yuan Shao looked at Xu You suspiciously.

"Ziyuan, is this your idea?"

Xu You said calmly: "Yes."

"Why?" Yuan Shao frowned even tighter. "Do you also think that I love my youngest son, and I am too thin to be Xiansi?"

Xu You shook his head. "My lord, it is precisely because I disagree with this statement that I hope you arrange Xiansi to go to Youzhou to resolve everyone's doubts."

"Oh?"

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty fought for several years. He leveled the princes and defeated Xiang Ji. He ruled the world. What a hero. The heir was born in the hands of a woman and did not know how to fight. The big man almost changed his surname to Lu. Now it is a time of great controversy. My lord Even if you personally risk Shishi, Xiansi is the eldest son, how can he sit in Yecheng?"

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered, and he fell silent.

Xu You went on to say: "The lord sent Xiansi to rule Qingzhou with good intentions. However, Qingzhou is desolate and ruined. I am afraid that there will be a proposal to move to the left. It is not the case in Youzhou. Although Youzhou is poor, it cannot be self-sufficient in money and food, so it has to rely on Jizhou. Youzhou has elite soldiers. If Xiansi can rule Youzhou, he will fight for the world in the future, and he will take charge of Youzhou Tuqi as the vanguard, which will not only share the worries of the Lord, but also make meritorious service. In the future, the Yuan family will have the world, who would dare to underestimate it?"

A trace of displeasure flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he pursed his lips even tighter.

Xu You took a deep breath, calmed down his nervous mood, and continued, "If Xiansi can't defeat Gongsun Zan, it's enough to prove that he can't bear the weight of the world. My lord can also make preparations early and don't choose a good heir, so as to avoid a dispute between the four Haos."

Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly. "You really think so?"

"In front of the lord, don't dare to be selfish."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, his expression relaxed a little. "Having said that, Xiansi is still too young after all. Although Gongsun Zan is defeated, he is not of the easy generation. Will this arrangement make people think that I am deliberately embarrassing Xiansi?"

"My lord, you might as well send Guo Tu as your military advisor."

Yuan Shao picked lightly, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

He pointed at Xu You. "Xu Ziyuan, no wonder Gonglu wanted to kill you back then. You are really hateful."

Xu You bowed and said, "I am angry with the road because I can relieve the Lord's worries."

Yuan Shao laughed out loud.

He thought for a while, and then said: "This is a big matter, and I should discuss it with all the lords."

"Yes." Xu You breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Yuan Shao had already agreed, and discussing with others was just a formality to show justice.

-

Yuan Shao held a meeting.

Important counselors such as Shenpei, Fengji, Jushou and Tian Feng were all present.

In front of everyone, Xu You stated his opinion.

Yuan Shao looked at the crowd and asked them to express their views.

But very few people expressed their opinions, and no one spoke for a long time.

Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Yuan Shao, who has already married a wife and had children.He grew up in Luoyang when he was a teenager, and he was very close to Xu You, Guo Tu and others, but a little distant from Jizhou people such as Shenpei and Jushou.

The people of Jizhou had no intention of speaking for him, nor did they intend to conflict with Xu You and others for him.

Since Xu You's reason is very good, let Yuan Tan go to Youzhou to try his skills.

Although Gongsun Zan is already a trapped beast, he is not so easy to fight.

Furthermore, whether Gongsun Zan can be conquered depends not on the frontline generals, but on whether the supply of money and food is sufficient and timely.

Without money and food, Qu Yi, who is good at fighting, can only return home in defeat.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Shao announced that the resolution had been passed, and appointed Yuan Tan as a general to preside over the attack on Gongsun Zan.In order to show that he had no intention of abolishing the chief, he asked Geng Bao, the chief secretary, to ensure the supply of money and food for the army, and not to neglect and delay the military.

As soon as Geng Bao finished speaking, Tian Feng got up to speak.

"My lord, Gongsun Zan is just a fish in the bottom of the pot, not worth mentioning. The most urgent thing is to greet him."

Yuan Shao's expression suddenly changed.

Xu You secretly smiled.

This Tian Feng is really ignorant. I don't know if Yuan Shao is annoyed when he mentions the emperor now?

After meeting Guo Tu, Xu You learned more information, knowing that the emperor's attitude towards Yuan Shao was extremely bad, and he had no intention of compromising.The imperial edict calling Yuan Shao the prefect of Bohai is just a small test, and we don't know how many disgusting things will happen in the future.

Welcome?Unless Yuan Shao is willing to tie his hands and bow his neck to kill.

Geng Bao coughed twice. "Don't drive, the emperor is heading north to Taiyuan. Even if the lord wants to meet him, now is not the time."

Tian Feng yelled loudly: "The Son of Heaven is in Hedong or in Taiyuan, what effect does it have on Yingjia? Is Taiyuan farther than Chang'an?"

Geng Bao blushed and didn't dare to speak any more.

Yuan Shao felt unhappy, but he had to hold back. "Yuan Hao, calm down the anger of the thunder. The emperor must have something to do when he goes north to Taiyuan. It will take two or three days to send envoys to meet him. Yuan Hao is so urgent, is he worried?"

Tian Feng bowed his hands and bowed again.

He was worried that Yuan Shao would change his mind, but he couldn't make these words too clear.

"My lord, the emperor fought hard and killed Li Jue in front of the battle. The decline since Dong Zhuo's rebellion has been revived. It is a good opportunity to reorganize the government. If the lord can enter the court, he will be able to respond to everyone. The edict will be issued at that time. Traveling in Youzhou, we are going to challenge Gongsun Zan, who would dare not follow? If you wait for a long time and delay the timing, and Gongsun Zan becomes a minister, and the emperor issues an order to stop the army, the lord will inevitably lose ground."

Xu You smiled disdainfully and said, "Gongsun Zan is good at killing ministers, and the court can tolerate him? Even if the court can tolerate him, Liu He can't. Tian Yuanhao, you worry too much."

Tian Feng glared. "Wei Gu and Fan Xian rebelled according to the fort. The emperor can tolerate it. Why can't Gongsun Zan be tolerated? Is the crime of murdering a minister without authorization worse than rebellion? And the world is in chaos, and there are countless states and counties. Who is innocent?"

Xu You raised his eyebrows and refused to argue.

This is exactly what he hoped for.

Tian Feng's words are very taboo, and it is tantamount to referring directly to Yuan Shao's forcing Han Fu to death.

The more righteous Tian Feng was, the more unhappy Yuan Shao was.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's complexion became more and more ugly.

Tian Feng also felt that he had been fooled by Xu You just now, but he refused to explain. "My lord, the revenge of killing my father is selfish, and the world is public. Liu He's personal affairs are for Liu He to decide on his own. My lord must not lose the big because of small things. The emperor changed the yuan, and established the capital of Anyi. , Liaodong, it will only be known in a few months. At that time, the world will respond and seek peace together. If the lord does not take it, he will be controlled by others. How will he deal with himself?"

"What Yuan Hao said is unfounded and worrying." Xu You spoke again. "Dare to ask Yuan Hao, should the lord welcome the emperor in Yecheng, or in Nanpi?"

Tian Feng frowned, and said in protest: "The Son of Heaven is young, so how do you know that there is someone who contains Tianxian and drafts an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven to anger the lord? If the lord is in power, such absurd things will naturally not happen."

Xu You chuckled twice, and then said: "Even if Yuan Hao's words are reasonable, the Son of Heaven is willing to be a puppet, just like Emperor Ling trusted Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong back then. The lord bears the wealth of the four dynasties and the three lords, and has the authority of the world." The benevolence of the heart, why should I serve this fatuous master?"

Xu You stood up and brushed off the sleeves of his robe.

"If the Son of Heaven summons the lord to enter the court with the position of a great general and grants him the power to govern, the lord should stand up and stand up and seek peace for the world. If the son of heaven has the intention of humiliating and has no heart to seek virtue, it is not what a wise king should do. The king is worried about the humiliation of the minister, the king is humiliated and the minister dies. The lord is humiliated by others, Yuan Hao is not ashamed, but instead persuades the lord to take his own humiliation, I really don't know what to say."

Chapter 273

Tian Feng was furious, and his beard and hair grew wild. "As you said, should you be an enemy of the emperor?"

Yuan Shao also looked at Xu You with a disturbed expression.

How to treat the imperial court is a problem that he must solve at present, otherwise internal differences will become split, and the contradictions will intensify beyond control.

Xu You sneered. "Don't drive, I'm afraid that today's court is no longer the court you want, and it's not something you can welcome if you want. Not to mention that Liu Xie was originally established by Dong Zhuo, just look at today's ministers, and they are nothing more than Dong Zhuo's old subordinates. .Although Li Jue is dead, Zhang Ji is still alive, Duan Yan and Yang Ding are his minions, and Jia Xu is his confidant, the absurdity is even better than Li Jue's time."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly.

Sure enough, Xu You is still Xu You.

It is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling than to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Rejecting the legitimacy of the Son of Heaven is the most fundamental solution, and the previous expedient measures were ultimately hasty.

I hope Xu You can come up with sufficient reasons to make up for this mistake.

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You, his eyes full of expectation.

Tian Feng responded with a sneer and turned to face Yuan Shao. "My lord, did you just let go of the previous proposal to welcome the emperor? What about the proposal of the eunuch to stop the soldiers?"

Before Tian Feng finished speaking, Xu You laughed out loud.

"Don't drive, this time and that time. At that time, the servant came from the east, and the Lord suggested that the Lord welcome the emperor. The Lord followed the advice like a stream, first sent Cao Cao to welcome him, and then sent Guo Tu as an envoy. Loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. But What is the result? The imperial court regards the lord as a prefect. How can the imperial court honor him?"

Xu You paused for a moment, then sneered and said, "Don't you think that the lord is a rebellious minister who seeks the state from the county, so he should write a letter to plead guilty?"

Tian Feng was speechless.

Xu You waved his hand and said loudly: "Forgive me, when Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were abolished and established, the Liu family's blood line was cut off. Liu Xie's origin is unknown, and his position is not right. Now he is doing the opposite, with no distinction between loyalty and traitors. He is unbearable. The emperor of the family. We welcome the court's proposal, and it is not appropriate to mention it again."

Everyone was horrified.

Xu You not only vetoed the previous proposal to welcome the imperial court in one fell swoop, but also announced the severance of Liu's blood.
