Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Mi Zhu's question reminded Jian Yong of Yuan Shao's matter. "The person who went to inquire should be on his way back. There should be no problem, otherwise he would have rushed back."

Going back and forth, according to the distance, we should arrive, Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Jian Yong frowned, and replied: "After this is over, Yong will send someone to go there immediately, or go there in person if it doesn't work."

Right now, that's all there is to it. At this moment, Mi Zhu just feels something is wrong, and doesn't find anything.

Under the whispers of the officials, the staff were almost all there, Ju Shou opened his eyes, stood up and said slowly: "I invite you to come today, there is something to announce."

With the sound of Jushou's voice, the discussing officials stopped and looked at Jushou one after another, curious about what was going on, and wanted to summon all the officials.

Seeing dozens of pairs of eyes watching, Ju Shou said slowly: "Uncle Liu Huang governed Xuzhou with benevolence and righteousness on the surface, but he did remove many differences secretly. It can be said that the outside is not the same."

"The old master, Yuan Shao, has the support of various families in Xuzhou, so he has no choice but to take over Xuzhou. I don't know if you agree?"

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the officials present were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

And Jian Yong, who reacted quickly, immediately stood up and pointed angrily: "Ju Shou, the emperor trusted you so much, and handed Xuzhou over to you, but you betrayed him. This is an act of disloyalty and injustice, and people will definitely cast aside it."

Mi Zhu was indeed pale, but he did not get angry. He stood up and asked, "Ju Shou, the three generals are asking for help, and my lord is going to Qingzhou. Are these all your plans?"

Ju Shou nodded and said: "Yes, my lord Yuan Shao has already started planning since he came under Liu Bei's command. Both of you are outstanding people. You should know the current situation and how to choose is up to you."

Ju Shou's voice was not loud, but it fell on everyone's ears, no less than a thunderbolt, making them all bow their heads and talk to each other.

Seeing this, Ju Shou didn't force it, and shouted to the door: "Please Yuan Zhoumu to come and preside over the overall situation!"

As soon as the words came out, there was the sound of personnel mobilization outside the door, and not long after, Yuan Shao was seen entering the house, supported by dozens of heavily armed soldiers.

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao smiled, went straight to the superior and sat down, and said to the officials on both sides: "Everyone, Yuan has been kindly invited by various aristocratic families in Xuzhou, and he has no choice but to take up the post of Xuzhou pastor again. .”

"Hmph!" Jian Yong scolded with contempt on his face: "The fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family, you Yuan Shao is also a hero, you can be defeated by Li Huiyi."

"If it wasn't for the emperor's kindness to take in you, an ungrateful person, I'm afraid you would have turned into a pile of dry bones, and now you want to occupy the magpie's nest, wouldn't you be afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"Hehehe." Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face: "Liu Bei is just a knitting peddler. He is so good and capable. He lives in Xuzhou as a herdsman. He also obeys the public opinion. If anyone is unwilling, just leave. He will never be like Liu Bei. Secretly lay down the butcher."

Where to go is in everyone's hands, but where can they go after leaving Xuzhou, because their roots are all in Xuzhou, unless they are willing to follow Liu Bei to wander.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone calmly, looking at them calmly, and Ju Shou was also standing beside him at this time.

Seeing this, Jian Yong looked around at the officials and said: "Everyone, you were all picked up by the emperor's uncle. At this time, I am loyal to the emperor's uncle. I will leave, report to the lord, and lead the army back to destroy these shameless people. people."

"Oh." Seeing the people wavering, Ju Shou suddenly said: "I forgot to tell you, Liu Bei has been blocked outside Qingzhou at this time, and he is not allowed to enter the cities of all places."

"When the food and grass are used up, I'm afraid the army will disperse, and there will be no shelter in this Xuzhou. Can you think about it clearly?"

The blatant threat made everyone who was still a bit delusional feel like being thrown a plate of cold water.

When no one spoke, Yuan Shao threw out another temptation and said: "As long as you stay, the official positions will remain intact, and those who have made merit will be found out one by one and rewarded according to their merit."

In troubled times, it is easy to rise, but it is also easy to die. Every choice is a life-or-death decision.

Since Yuan Shao promised not to attack them, there is no need for them to be loyal to the end for Liu Bei who has lost power.

However, some people who were valued by Liu Bei still did not make a statement, waiting for Jian and Mi, Liu Bei's right and left hands, to choose.

Jian Yong looked angry, looked at Yuan Shao and Ju Shou, and was about to curse, but was stopped by Mi Zhu. "Xianhe, this is the end of the matter, let's keep it alive and serve the emperor's uncle."

Mi Zhu persuaded Jian Yong in a low voice, and said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong, the emperor is kind to you, I hope you don't kill them all, leave a way out, and we can see each other in the future."

This is not what Yuan Shao wants to see. If Liu Bei is forced to nowhere, it may be easy for others.

Yuan Shao thought for a while, then slowly said: "Okay, I will give Liu Bei a month to withdraw from Xuzhou's rule. If there is no place to go, you can hand over the two counties of Qingzhou to him, and it will be considered right for him."

The two counties of Qingzhou were unable to develop their strength at all. Taishici's troops had been eyeing them all the time, and they stayed there just to defend Yuan Shao from the enemy.

But where to go, Mi Zhu can't make a decision, so he can only pass the news to Liu Bei as soon as possible, and let him decide.

Mi Zhu bowed his hands to Yuan Shao, turned to the officials and said, "The Mi family supports the emperor's uncle and will leave as soon as possible to follow. Those who are willing to follow can leave together."

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he pulled Jian Yong, turned around and left, and after a lot of struggle among the officials, only less than ten people followed and left, and the rest remained in their positions.

Yuan Shao looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "You are all people who know the current affairs. I will not treat you badly. When this matter is over, you will be rewarded."

"Thank you Yuan Zhoumu, I will do my best to assist you."

Looking at the echoing officials, Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Let's go down first. These days, try to move around as little as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Yes."

The meaning in Yuan Shao's words, the slight threat, made all the officials tremble with fear, but they had already chosen to stay, so they could only endure it.

Jushou and Yuan Shao sang and harmonized, and relaxed and stabilized the situation. All this was due to Chang Jiu's planning.

After everyone left, Yuan Shao said excitedly to Ju Shou: "Sir, it is thanks to you that I can regain power this time. Shao will never treat you badly."

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said: "This is a matter of the assignment, the lord does not need to do this, just deal with Liu Bei now, so as not to cause a sudden change."

"En." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "What can you do, sir?"

Ju Shou said: "At present, the manpower from various families can form an army of [-] in a short period of time, but there is not much combat power at all, and there may be more than enough defense."

"As previously agreed, let Qingzhou's old army lead the army back to help, so that we can have our own strength and take Xuzhou into our hands."

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "The method is good, but what if Liu Bei becomes angry and attacks desperately, what should we do?"

Ju Shou smiled and said: "No, although Liu Bei has tens of thousands of troops, as long as he fails to make progress in a short period of time, the army's morale will be slackened. At that time, he will not even have the ability to protect himself, so he will follow the advice and station in Qingzhou Two counties, or choose to leave."

Jiu occupied the magpie's nest and stole the beam and changed the post. Ju granted this method, let Yuan Shao exchange blood, and directly killed Liu Bei.

Now that Jushou said there was no problem, Yuan Shao felt relieved and began to arrange the affairs of the family. According to the previous agreement, he began to promote the children of each family to enter the army and serve as generals and lieutenants to quickly form a large army.

However, the actions, mobilization, and fighting strength of this large army are known to anyone with a discerning eye, but Jushou can't do anything about it, after all, they are needed now.

Not only that, most of Xuzhou's various industries have completely fallen into the hands of the aristocratic family, which caused Xuzhou's tax revenue to drop sharply.

In the future, if Yuan Shao wanted to train his army, he would have to collect money from the common people, but the aristocratic family could only do it. Maybe Jushou still has a solution, but that is a matter of the future.

Here Yuan Shao began to quickly take over Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was also blocked outside Laiwu as expected. At the beginning, the guard made many excuses, but later, he began to ignore him.

This made Liu Bei feel that something was wrong, so he quickly led his army back to Xuzhou, but he entered Xuzhou and wanted to let the army rest in the city, but he was blocked.

At this time, Liu Bei already knew that Xuzhou must have changed, so he decided not to retreat, so as not to fall into the trap and wipe out the whole army.

Liu Bei set up camp on the border of Xuzhou and sent soldiers and horses to investigate, but he didn't know anything until Mi Zhu led more than a thousand people to come.
