Han Dao world

"In three years, the Son of Heaven will not go east."

Jushou was surprised. "How did you see that?"

"Think for yourself." Tian Feng flicked his sleeves and left the stage.

Chapter 535

Ju Shou was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, stepped off the stage in a hurry, and caught up with Tian Feng.

"Brother Yuan Hao, are you saying that the emperor will take Yizhou first?"

Tian Feng turned his head and glanced at Jushou, smiled for a while, and said, "Don't you think he is somewhat similar to Ying Qin Qi Yuxi?"

Ju Shou's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help laughing. "It's just that the terrain is so unavoidable. Of course, Yingqin originated in the west, and flourished in Guanzhong, and managed the sixth generation to own the world. However, Emperor Gao also became king in Hanzhong, entered Guanzhong, and had the world. It took only a few years before and after. .Although the Son of Heaven is young, he is the seat of the great Han Zhengshuo, so it is naturally smoother than Emperor Gao."

Tian Feng interrupted Jushou. "So I only bet that he won't go east for three years, and I dare not say more."

Ju Shou tilted his head, looked at Tian Feng for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and he became a little more uneasy. "Do you think that the emperor's staying away from the veterans is not a helpless act, but intentional?"

Tian Feng didn't smile anymore, he was worried.

"Gongyu, although the veterans in the court may not all be from the Kanto region, most of them regard themselves as literati and bureaucrats, hoping to rule the world with the emperor, not just as servants and echoes. They all have clans, property, and former officials. There are relatives and old friends. Do you think they would like to have a Qinhuang Hanwu style hero?"

Ju Shou slightly lowered his jaw. "So the emperor stayed away from the Central Plains and stayed in the frontiers without returning, so that the ministers could not restrain him."

"Liangzhou has been in chaos for a hundred years, and it is still plagued by scabies. When Xianbei was at its peak, it was just entering the fortress from time to time. Once Tan Shihuai died, the Xianbei people fell apart. The ministries claimed to have hundreds of thousands of people, but they were all bandits. Destroyed It is not difficult, the difficulty lies in eradication. The victory of the Son of Heaven lies in the ability to lure the enemy patiently with elite soldiers and fierce generals, and only then can the first battle be won. It looks magnificent, but in fact it is similar to Sanming in Liangzhou but slightly different."

Tian Feng took a breath and added another sentence. "This must be Jia Xu's plan. Yan Zhong once said that he has the miracle of Liangping, but now it seems that it is not true, but we have not paid enough attention to it."

"Do you know Yan Zhong?"

"When he was doing Xinduling, I met him several times, and I heard him mention Jia Xu." Thinking of Yan Zhong, Tian Feng was in a daze for a while, and said: "You know Yan Zhong persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel. something?"

Ju Shou shook his head again and again.He had heard of Yan Zhong, but had no contact with him.When Yan Zhong became Xinduling, he was still very young and was serving as the county magistrate. He was busy with official duties and had no time to make friends.

"At that time, Huangfusong had just defeated Zhang Liang in Guangzong, pacified the Yellow Turban, and shocked the world. Yan Zhong happened to dismiss the letter of the Duling, so he rushed to Guangzong, met Huangfusong, and persuaded Huangfusong to rebel."

Ju Shou laughed out loud. "Yan Zhong is known as Duo Zhi, how could he come up with such absurd strategy? Although Huangfu Song is powerful in the world, all the ministries he leads are people from the imperial court, how could he follow him to rebel?"

"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?" Tian Feng stopped and looked back at Jushou. "If Huangfusong chooses, how do you think the people of Jizhou will choose? Will they support the imperial court, or join forces with Huangfusong?"

Ju Shou was taken aback, like waking up from a dream.He gave Tian Feng a meaningful look.

"Brother Yuan Hao is also one of them, right?"

Tian Feng was noncommittal, and Ju Shou didn't ask again.

As a member of Jizhou people, he certainly knows that many Jizhou people don't like the imperial court.A few years after Huangfu Song, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, conspired with Xu You, Chen Yi and others to rebel while Emperor Xiaoling was touring Hejian.Without the support of Jizhou people, how could Wang Fen dare to make such a plan.

Yan Zhong suggested that Huangfusong rebel, there must be the support of Jizhou people behind it.

"Qin Zhao's grievances have lasted for hundreds of years, do you know the reason?" Tian Feng asked again: "Is it because of someone?"

Ju Shou smiled wryly. "It's because Jizhou is surrounded by mountains and facing the sea, with fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the benefits of fishing and salt. It has been a fertile land since ancient times, and it has been the capital of kings and overlords."

"Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty." Tian Feng sighed. "The world has always been in chaos, and the land of Yanzhao, which is full of soldiers and food, is a must-take place for heroes. If you get it, you can win the world. Therefore, when the king of Qin goes east, he must first take Zhao. Guangwu Zhongxing first occupies Hebei. It is a pity that the lord is afraid of me. Jizhou People are too deep, and they can't confide in their hearts all the time, so it's not embarrassing or embarrassing, a dilemma. If you and the judge are in charge of the army, why are you here?"

Ju Shou didn't answer Tian Feng's words, and remained silent.

He had always known these truths, but no one had ever said them so bluntly.Today, Tian Feng was feeling uneasy for a while, so he vomited quickly in front of him, so that he didn't know how to answer the conversation when he wanted to.

"It's a pity that Jizhou's fortunes are not good. Although it is the most powerful state in the world, it has never been a heroic state. It can only be married to others." Tian Feng sighed deeply, folded his hands, and walked forward slowly.His back was a little hunched, as if he was carrying an invisible burden.

Ju Shou followed silently.

He knew that Tian Feng was very disappointed with Yuan Shao, but he couldn't find a more suitable person than Yuan Shao.This is a struggle without hope, and it is destined to be another tragedy.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.Unless there is a wise king among the Jizhou people, Jizhou will always be the object of exclusion and guard against by the imperial court.

-

Yuan Shao summoned counselors many times to ask advice.

In front of the news of the great victory of the Son of Heaven, many people were a little flustered, either silent or vague.On the contrary, Tian Feng was very resolute and vowed that the emperor would not go east in a short time, and Yuan Shao should concentrate his forces to conquer Yi Jing and completely defeat Gongsun Zan.

Taking Yi County means defending the north gate of Jizhou.

Tian Feng's determination made Yuan Shao both grateful and ashamed.For a long time, because of Tian Feng's uprightness, he actually didn't like Tian Feng, but Tian Feng's reputation was the top among Jizhou celebrities, so he had to give some face.Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, Tian Feng was the one who supported him the most.

At this time, Yuan Shao received news of the trial match again.Mu Zhouzhong of Yuzhou wanted to attack the Lujiang River, and Yan Liang was alone in Huainan. He was very dangerous and had to be rescued.But Cao Cao and Liu Bei were staring at each other, and there was a tendency to attack, and the judges did not dare to act rashly.He hoped that Yuan Shao could give him some support so that he could advance the battle to the south, keep in touch with Yan Liang, and try to protect Lujiang.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the predicament of fighting on two fronts, Yuan Shao thought about it, and finally adopted Tian Feng's suggestion, concentrated his forces to storm Yi Jing, first dealt with Gongsun Zan, and then moved south.

In order to give full play to the enthusiasm of the Jizhou people, Yuan Shao appointed Tian Feng as the supervisor, and Cui Yan as the envoy to contact the big families in northern Jizhou, gather the manpower and material resources of the three counties of Zhongshan, Hejian, and Bohai, and storm Yijing.

At the same time, Yuan Shao conscripted young men throughout the prefecture, preparing for a big battle.

At the same time, he contacted Wuhuan and Xianbei, conscripted elite cavalry, and restrained Xun You so that he could not go south.

With the cooperation of Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others, the enthusiasm of the Jizhou clan was greatly mobilized.Just after the new year, many rich and powerful families rushed to Yijing with their trilogy and food to help Yuan Shao.

At the end of the first month, Yuan Shao assembled nearly 10 people and launched a final fierce attack on Yi Jing.

Chapter 536

Dan Khan Mountain.

Xun You held the rein lightly, two clusters of faint blushes appeared on his face roughened by the wind, but his eyes were more lively, and occasionally flashed sharply, showing no anger and prestige.

Zang Hong rode a yellow puma and followed closely behind.

On the occasion of the New Year, he came to Tanhan Mountain for the reason of his work report, and stayed with Xun You for a month.As he was about to go back, Xun You asked him to go hunting.The two of them walked freely on this endless grassland, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Gongda, the emperor Xiu Tuze won the victory, will he send his troops to the east?" Zang Hong seemed to ask casually, but his mood was inexplicably nervous.

Xun You was silent for a moment, then smiled. "Ziyuan, let me ask you a question."

"You said."

"Do you want to cut off Yuan Shao's head with your own hands, or do you want to see him die in despair?"

Zang Hong thought carefully for a while. "He betrayed his faith and forced to kill his old friends, but beheading him would have made it easier for him. If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence, and if you seek righteousness, you will get righteousness. Those who betray their trust and righteousness will be betrayed by their relatives. Only then do we know that the way of heaven is permanent, and retribution is not good."

"Then you might as well be patient and wait a few more years." Xun You turned his head to look at the mountains in the distance, but his eyes seemed to pass through Yanshan Mountain, and saw the land of Youyan on the other side of the mountain. "If the Son of Heaven attracts but does not send out, Yuan Shao will be like a frightened bird, panicked. Before the battle, the winner is already divided. How long can he last?"

Zang Hong's eyes flickered slightly. "Is there any news recently?"

The corner of Xun You's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Zang Hong. "I won't tell you any news, can you go back with peace of mind?"

Zang Hong laughed, but still stared at Xun You's eyes.

Xun You shook his whip. "After the news of the great victory of the Son of Heaven spread to Kanto, Yuan Shao was the most nervous. In order to conquer Yijing as soon as possible, he made a major concession to the people of Jizhou, gathered [-] cavalry, and stormed Yijing."

Zang Hong blinked. "Although Jizhou is a big state, it has been fighting endlessly for more than ten years, and its registered permanent residence is less than half of what it was before. Although one hundred thousand steps is not enough to fish, it can be regarded as going all out. It seems that Yuan Shao is really in a hurry."

He then continued: "Since this is the case, wouldn't the Ruying people's situation be even more embarrassing? Gongda, do they intend to switch to the imperial court? If someone wants to come to Yanmen, you must not stop them. I am alone in Yanmen, too Difficult."

Xun You nodded slightly. "Although the situation is embarrassing, it has not reached the point of despair. If you want to take the opportunity to recruit talents, you have to wait."

Zang Hong said "Oh" and then laughed again. "They are expecting Yuan Shao to conquer Yijing, send troops south, and pacify Yanyu, so that they can seize the opportunity to gain military power and compete with the people of Jizhou?"

Xun You smiled and said nothing. "No, I will never give up until I reach a dead end."

Zang Hong sighed softly. "Ru Ying has many talents, even if she is divided into multiple places, she still cannot be underestimated."

Xun You glanced at Zang Hong, frowning slightly. "Ziyuan, people's mouths make gold, and their bones are destroyed. Ruying people are jealous. If you are not careful in your words and deeds, how can you go far and have a heavy responsibility?"

Zang Hong was a little embarrassed, and smiled embarrassingly, but his mood was inexplicably complicated.

He knew what Xun You was worried about.It is not only Jizhou people who are afraid of Ruying people, but also the emperor.Xun Wenqian gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, but the emperor repeatedly stated that the status of Empress Fushou was unshakable, making it clear that the Xun family should not have unrealistic ambitions.Xun Yu and Xun You were well aware of the pros and cons, and did not dare to express even the slightest dissatisfaction, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

It was Xun Yu's decision to send Empress Fushou away.Not only that, but Xun Yu also sent his son Xun Yun to the emperor as a man, to put it bluntly, as a hostage.

Xun You's son Xun Ji is also on his way.

Is it possible to escape just by hiding?The Ruying people's strength is there, and they can't hide their clumsiness even if they want to hide it.

Zang Hong thought for a while and cleared his throat. "Gongda, parting is imminent. I don't know when the next meeting will be. There are a few words that come out of my mouth and enter your ears. No third person can hear them. You may wish to listen."

Xun You smiled wryly. "I won't tell you, can you bear it?"

Zang Hong nodded and said: "The five elements must not be messed up, and the five ethics must not be abolished. Since ancient times, Dixiang has been different. Emperor Gao has heroes from Peiguo, Emperor Guangwu has heroes from Nanyang. Today, Zizi rejuvenates the Han Dynasty, and the people of Ruying take credit for it." Zhiwei, how can you miss this opportunity? Do you hope that in the future, most of the court will be Bingliang Wufu?"

Xun You was silent, his face was calm, like an ancient well without waves.

Zang Hong went on to say: "Jizhou is an upper state, but it is difficult to get out of the high school. It is precisely because Jizhou has no foundation in the court. They do not hesitate to risk the world's dissatisfaction and support Yuan Shao. It is precisely because they want to support Yuan Shao with the power of Jizhou , so that Jizhou is the land of dragon prosperity. But Yuan Shao is Ruying people after all, and the ambitions of Jizhou people are doomed to fail. Although they are desperate now, once they react, they may choose another master, and the most suitable..."

Xun You's eyelids trembled slightly, and he waved his hand, interrupting Zang Hong. "Okay, Ziyuan, there's no need to say any more."

Zang Hong still insisted on finishing his opinion. "Don't forget, Xiaohuan and Xiaoling are from Jizhou, and the birth mother of the Son of Heaven is from Zhao. He has half of Jizhou's blood."

Xun You looked back at Zang Hong and suddenly smiled. "Ziyuan, you are right. People in Jizhou may indeed take advantage of this relationship and turn to the emperor, but what's wrong with it? Good morning, the people can finally live and work in peace and contentment. As for the court, the emperor restrained me Ru Ying People, will you let the people of Jizhou sit big? After all, you still spend too little time with the emperor, and you don't know that the emperor has a broad mind."

Zang Hong opened his mouth, but said nothing more.What should be said and what should not be said, he has already said.Xun You is a smart person, he will know what to do, but he may not be able to tell him.

The two of them rode their horses around again, hunted a few hares, and roasted them in the wild, and then they returned happily.

At dusk, Zang Hong set out on his way home and bid farewell to Xun You.

"Ziyuan, between training troops and governing the people, you have to make a choice as soon as possible." Xun You reminded: "Once the Youyan Governor is formally established, Yanmen will no longer be a border county, and the prefect may no longer be in charge of the army." .If you want your son to inherit your father's will and continue to lead the army, you must spend more time practicing martial arts."

Zang Hong bowed his hands and saluted. "Thank you Gongda, I will remember."

Watching Zang Hong lead the county soldiers away gradually, Xun You narrowed his eyes and remained silent.After a long time, he turned his horse's head and ordered: "Pass on my military order, and inform Zhang Liao, the prefect of Shanggu, and Gao Shun, the prefect of Daijun. Each will have Wanqi, and they will meet at Baishan within fifteen days."

The accompanying emissary immediately dismounted, leaned over the saddle and wrote two orders.After Xun You used the seal, he ordered people to send it to Shanggu and Daijun.

Xun You immediately wrote another letter and sent it to Yan Rou, asking him to contact the tribes of Wuhuan.Xianbei in the east responded to Yuan Shao's order and violated the border of the Han Dynasty. He will lead all his tribes to crusade. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, the Wuhuan people must make a choice, not to say that it is unpredictable.

Chapter 537 Unwilling to be Left Behind

Xian Yufu stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, without saying a word, his face gloomy.

Xian Yuyin stood aside, with the same ugly face, and there was a hint of anger in the yellowish eyes.He gritted his teeth and muttered: "Is this Liu He crazy, insisting on going all the way to the dark? Yuan Shao is treacherous, even the people of Ruying can abandon him, what else is there to follow? This person..."

"Shut up!" Xian Yufu shouted, interrupting Xian Yuyin. "Whether Yuan Shao abandons the people of Ruying or not is none of your business? If you have such leisure, you might as well think about how to break down Gongsun Zan's tall building. If Yuan Shao captures Gongsun Zan alive, and we have no success, how will we face the envoy in the future?"

Xian Yuyin smacked her lips. "What can we do? Use people to dig. Our strength is less than one-tenth of Yuan Shao's. The progress is definitely not as good as theirs. If we fail, we will be eaten by them."

Before returning to the case, Xian Yufu sat down and drank a glass of wine.He was in a bad mood, but there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Shao reached a new agreement with Haoqiang in Jizhou, and it is said that he will marry the Zhen family in Zhongshan. With the support of Haoqiang in northern Hebei, he gathered 10 people to besiege Yijing.Yi Jing was attacked by Yuan Shao for two years, and most of the tall buildings outside had been cleared away. Facing Yuan Shao's all-out blow, Yi Jing was about to be defeated.

It is a good thing that Gongsun Zan awarded the first prize, but if this is all due to Yuan Shao, then the people of Youzhou will lose all face.

Besides, will Yuan Shao give up after defeating Yi Jing?Will he take advantage of the situation to control Youzhou?No one can tell.They had to consider how they would respond if Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to take Youzhou.Is to bow down and surrender, or to fight back from the ground.

With such a big difference in strength between the two sides, is there any chance of winning the counterattack?

He wasn't sure.

"Ask Xun You for help." Xian Yuyin suggested.

Xian Yufu shook his head.He once asked Xun You for help through Yan Rou, but Xun You asked Liu He to express his position first, and actually rejected his request, and was ridiculed by Liu He several times.Contacting Xun You now would be tantamount to humiliating himself.

"Tian Zitai (Tian Chou), please come." Xian Yufu said, "See if we can discuss it with Liu He, and don't make Yuan Shao complacent."

Xian Yuyin nodded, turned around and left.

Xian Yufu poured another glass of wine, held it in his hand, and shook it gently, thinking about how to solve the current predicament.

After a while, there were footsteps outside the tent, from far to near.Xianyupu was a little strange, did Tian Chou come so quickly?He stood up, arranged his clothes, and prepared to meet Tian Chou.

There are many warriors in Youzhou, but few celebrities.

Tian Chou is a famous scholar in Youzhou, and he is a hermit. He once lived in seclusion in Xuwu Mountain for several years.Because he wanted to besiege Gongsun Zan and avenge Liu Yu, Xian Yufu invited him out, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

Someone pushed the tent and entered, but it was not Tian Chou, but Yan Rou.

Seeing that Xian Yu Fu was standing upright, Yan Rou was a little surprised, and teased, "What's wrong with you, you're so polite?"

Xian Yufu was also taken aback for a moment, just about to scold Yan Rou, when he saw the letter in Yan Rou's hand, he immediately put away his smile.

"who?"

"Guess." Yan Rou raised her eyebrows, unable to restrain the smile on her face.

Xian Yufu blinked, staring at Yan Rou again and again. "Could it be Xun You's? He is finally willing to send troops?"

"He is going to use troops against Xianbei in the east."

Xian Yufu's heart tightened, he quickly asked Yan Rou to sit down, and asked Yan Rou to elaborate.Yan Rou didn't say much, and directly handed Xun You's letter to Xian Yufu for him to read by himself.Xian Yufu finished reading it in a hurry, his brows furrowed.
