Han Dao world

This person has always been out of tune, as if convulsing, thinking of coming out is coming out.

However, for them, Yuan Shu's resignation from Yangzhou Mu is definitely a good thing, and from then on they can serve the court in a fair and honest manner.

If he can make meritorious service in the battle to regain Lujiang, he might be the next Lujiang prefect.

For a while, everyone became excited, especially Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling and others who held military power.

Yuan Shu hosted a banquet to welcome Zhang Xi and perform for Zhang Xun and others.

Zhang Xide was highly respected, he was also the envoy of the emperor, and he was the spokesperson of the imperial court. Yuan Shu's civil and military subordinates rushed to toast him.Not only did Yuan Shu not stop him, but he also booed and made Zhang Xi drunk.

Zhang Xi wanted to discuss Yuan Shao's matter with Yuan Shu, but he didn't have a chance to speak.

At noon the next day, Zhang Xi woke up with a splitting headache.He asked Chen Dao to invite Yuan Shu, and wanted to discuss with Yuan Shu about easing the relationship with Yuan Shao.As a result, when Chen returned, Yuan Shu had already led his troops to Lujiang and left early in the morning.

But Yuan Shu left an order, Zhang Xi decided whether to let Xu Shao and the others go.

Zhang Xi was very helpless and let out a long sigh.

He knew what Yuan Shu meant, and Yuan Shu didn't care how to deal with Xu Shao and others.But it is absolutely impossible for him to let Yuan Shao go.

This enmity has grown, Yuan Shu would rather kill Yuan Shao than be a Yangzhou shepherd.

Zhang Xi sat on the bed, thought for a long time, and sent someone to invite Yang Hong who stayed behind.

Yang Hong was born in the Hongnong Yang family, and was of the same generation as Yang Biao.

Yang Hong came soon, smiling all over his face, and he knew he was in a good mood.

"Mr. Zhang, if you are willing to surrender at the beginning, the world will be at peace."

Zhang Xi was overjoyed, but at the same time doubtful. "who said it?"

"Feng Yuan Tu." Yang Hong smiled even brighter. "I heard what he said with my own ears. At first, he was willing to negotiate a peace as the prefect of Bohai and lead his troops back to Jizhou. He wanted to give the Lujiang River to the highway in exchange for the recovery of the highway."

Zhang Xi patted his head, feeling a bit impressed.Yuan Shu seemed to have mentioned this matter yesterday.

"If that's the case, why did the highway attack the Lujiang River?"

Yang Hong smiled. "Lujiang has become an isolated city, why should he give it away? Of course, it's better to get it by yourself." Yang Hong paused, and then said: "The road refuses to give in, and we have to investigate the fact that Yuan's daughter was sent to the Xianbei people and Wuhuan at the beginning. Human responsibility. He said that he would go to northern Xinjiang to join the army, defeat Xianbei and Wuhuan, and rescue Yuan's daughter."

Zhang Xi couldn't help but snort, he didn't believe this kind of nonsense.

"Civilization, don't talk about these empty words, what exactly does he want to do?"

Yang Hong pondered for a moment. "In my opinion, it looks like it's pretending to be crazy, but it's actually retreating bravely."

Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, with disdain on his face. "Him? Retire bravely?"

Chapter 645

Yuan Shu personally led the army and rushed to Lujiang County to govern Shucheng.

On the way, he ordered someone to send a message to Yan Liang.Fengji was in Shouchun, had a good chat with Sikong and Zhang Xi, so he stopped coming.Before I arrive, you leave quickly to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Yan Liang didn't think too much about it.He had already received Yuan Shao's order in advance, knowing that Fengji had gone to Shouchun, and he wanted to discuss with Yuan Shu that he would give Lujiang to Yuan Shu in exchange for Yuan Shu's taking back his life.After receiving the news from Yuan Shu, everything was logical and there was nothing to doubt.

Feng Ji is a scholar and has always looked down on these warriors. It is normal for him to stay in Shouchun and hang out with Sikong and Zhang Xi, not to come to see him.

Before leaving Shucheng, Yan Liang called the relevant big clans for a drink, first to thank them for their support in the past two years.After returning to Jizhou, I must convey it to Yuan Shao.The second is to ask them to send another batch of money and food for the army to return north.

The Lujiang clan was very depressed.They risked their genocide and supported Yan Liang for two years. As a result, Yuan Shao surrendered to the court, and Yan Liang was about to give up Lujiang.It's fine to give up Lujiang, and it's shameless to make another one before leaving.

But in the face of Yan Liang's intimidation, considering that Yuan Shao might make a comeback, they did not dare to refuse, so they had to offer the newly harvested autumn grain with both hands, and asked Yan Liang to bring a message to Yuan Shao, and they must wait for Yuan Shao to come again.

Satisfied, Yan Liang led his troops out of Shucheng.

Everything went well, the only surprise was that Yan Liang didn't expect Yuan Shu to ambush him.

When the sound of war drums exploded suddenly, Yuan Shu launched an attack, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling and others each led their troops to fight out, and when thousands of arrows were fired, Yan Liang's first reaction was that Yuan Shu really knew how to act, making it look like the real thing .

Then, his body was pierced by several heavy arrows, and blood spattered out.

Anbu Angelica, Yan Liang's men were not wearing armor, bows were not stringed, and even long knives and spears were placed on the fully loaded cart, and the team stretched for several miles.Facing the sudden attack, they had no ability to resist and collapsed instantly.

Yan Liang was shot dead by random arrows on the spot, and he died with regret.

Most of his subordinates were wiped out, only a few knights took advantage of the chaos to escape from the battlefield and fled to the north.

Yuan Shu not only seized a large amount of property, but also got some gift lists and some letters to Yuan Shao.

Looking at the familiar names, Yuan Shu laughed and waved his hand.

"Into the city."

The Lujiang clan saw off Yan Liang and came to welcome Yuan Shu.Although they didn't like Yuan Shu, but the situation was pressing, before Yuan Shao came again, they didn't want to make a promise with Yuan Shu.When they were sighing in Changting outside the city, they were all dumbfounded when they received the news that Yan Liang was ambushed by Yuan Shu and his entire army was annihilated.

After a moment of silence, someone began to yell at Yan Liang for being stupid, for actually trusting Yuan Shu, a savage on the road.

Cursing and cursing, the tone changed.They began to yell at Yan Liang for being tyrannical and causing disaster to Lujiang.Then he scolded Yuan Shao for being blind and indulgent to his subordinates.When Yuan Shu arrived, these people had already criticized Yuan Shao with one voice, shouting that it was too wise for Yuan Shu to drive Yuan Shao out of the clan.

But all this is not easy in front of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu ordered everyone to be arrested, tortured, and questioned about their support for Yan Liang in the past two years.

Facing the unreasonable Yuan Shu, these people didn't last long before explaining everything clearly.

Yuan Shu arrested people according to the list, and the Lujiang clan was almost wiped out.People were arrested and property was confiscated.

Just when people in Lujiang were panicking, Yuan Shu issued an announcement.

These big clans are rebellious, and their crimes should be punished, but it has nothing to do with the common people.I will write to the imperial court, asking the emperor to pardon the people of Lujiang, and according to the new policy implemented in Guanzhong, spend the land in Lujiang, and distribute the confiscated land to everyone.

As soon as the announcement came out, the hearts of the people were determined, and countless people looked forward to it, hoping to get the land.

The situation in Lujiang quickly stabilized.

Yuan Shu then ordered Yan Xiang to act as the prefect of Lujiang to verify his household registration and make preparations before going to the field.

At the same time, Qiao Rui rushed to Chang'an, escorting several representatives of the Lujiang clan, with the letter of victory and Yan Liang's head.

Accompanied by Qiao Rui's beautiful daughters.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu led the army and rushed back to Shouchun to set up defenses with the captured money and food.

-

Zhang Xi was stunned when he received the news that Yuan Shu had regained Lujiang.

He realized that he was being used by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu never thought of reconciling with Yuan Shao, he just wanted to kill them all.If he plays such a game, Yuan Shao will definitely be furious. This peace negotiation may end without a problem, and a big war is inevitable.

Zhang Xi immediately discussed with Yang Hong, released Feng Ji, and rushed to Pengcheng with him to explain to Yuan Shao face to face.

Yang Hong was also frightened, and immediately released Feng Ji, explaining the whole story to Feng Ji.

After Feng Ji was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shu, he didn't panic.Hearing that Yuan Shu swindled Lujiang and beheaded Yan Liang, he was frightened out of his wits.

His first reaction was to not go back.When Yuan Shao heard the news, he would definitely kill him.

But Zhang Xi told him, you might be killed if you go back.But if you don't go back, where can you go?As Yuan Shao's confidant, you have no other way out except to become a savage in the mountains.

You go to Pengcheng with me, if you can persuade Yuan Shao to go to peace, I will keep you safe.

If you die, I die with you.

Feng Ji thought about it and had no other choice but to bite the bullet and accompany Zhang Xi to Pengcheng.

Before leaving, Zhang Xi asked Yang Hong to invite Xu Shao, and asked Xu Shao to rush to Jiangdong immediately to meet Zhou Zhong.

All the big clans in Lujiang were arrested by Yuan Shu on the charge of treason, but Zhou Zhong did not show up, and no one could save them.

-

When Yuan Shao received the news, he was furious. He kicked over the case and shouted that he wanted to send troops to destroy Yuan Shu.

When Tian Feng and others came over after hearing the news, they were also stunned.

No one expected Yuan Shu to be so ruthless.

They originally thought that even if Yuan Shu refused to reconcile—this possibility is very high—Yan Liang would have no problem.More than two years of war showed that Yuan Shu was just a dandy, with no military knowledge at all, and no real generals under his command.

With Yan Liang's ability, it's no problem to retreat completely, the worst is to give Lujiang Bai to Yuan Shu.

But things were beyond their expectations. Yan Liang was killed and the whole army was wiped out.

Yuan Shu not only slapped Yuan Shao in the face, but also killed Yan Liang, the leader of the Four Court Columns in Hebei.

Yan Liang's death had a far greater impact than Wen Chou's death in battle.

He is Yuan Shao's first choice, or even the only choice, to compete for Jianghuai in the future.

His death is a great loss for the people of Jizhou.

Tian Feng had a headache, but he had to stop Yuan Shao who ran away.It is nonsense to send troops to attack Yuan Shu before Pengcheng falls.And once troops are sent, there will be no way to talk about peace.If the attack fails for a long time, if you want to negotiate a peace at that time, the emperor will definitely put forward more stringent conditions.

Yuan Shao was furious, and asked Tian Feng, "What do you think should be done?"

"Yuan Gonglu wants to kill all the big families in Lujiang, and implement Dutian in Lujiang. Why don't you take this opportunity to see how the imperial court handles it? If the imperial court allows Yuan Gonglu to act recklessly, the imperial court's attempt to implement tyranny will be fully exposed. If the lord climbs up again, Shandong will naturally Respond, how can the enemy not be defeated?"

Chapter 646

Yuan Shao was very annoyed and even more sad.

Not only because of being humiliated by Yuan Shu, but also because of being swayed by Jizhou people.

The military power is in the hands of Jizhou people, Tian Feng said no, he just couldn't.Those generals listened to Tian Feng, not him.Even if he forcibly ordered, those people would obey and obey, and would not really carry it out.

At this moment, he missed Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and others very much.

Without the restraint of the Ruying people, the domineering Jizhou people have already made him intolerable.

But he was helpless.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he fell ill and was bedridden.

Zhang Xi and Feng Ji traveled day and night and rushed to Pengcheng. When they heard that Yuan Shao had fallen ill, they were also shocked.

Zhang Xi went straight to Yuan Shao's tent.

Yuan Shao lay on the hospital bed, drowsy.Hearing footsteps, he knew that someone was coming in, and wanted to get up to have a look, but he felt powerless.

"Ben Chu, Ben Chu." Zhang Xi rushed to the bed, looked at the pale Yuan Shao, and called repeatedly.

Yuan Shao settled down for a while before he realized it. "Is it Lord Ji Li?"

Zhang Xi heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down on the mat brought by his attendants. "At the beginning, why did you look like this? I remember that you should not be half a hundred, why do you look worse than me?"

With the help of his attendants, Yuan Shao sat up, hugged the quilt, smiled wryly and said, "I'm ashamed and ashamed, my strength is weak and my virtue is weak, and the responsibility is too heavy."

"You are too tired." Zhang Xi patted Yuan Shao's hand. "The battlefield is harder than the court. If you listened to my advice and entered the court to rule, why did you end up here? At first, age is not forgiving. You should plan strategies in the court instead of sleeping on the battlefield."

Yuan Shao took a breath for a while. "Ji Ligong, can I... still enter the court?"

"Yes." Zhang Xi said confidently: "Not only can you enter the court, but you must also enter the court. We are also old and can't last for a few years. If you don't enter the court, who can the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats count on? Is it the road?"

When Yuan Shu was mentioned, Zhang Xi was furious.

What is this brat doing? It's nothing more than ambushing Yan Liang. Soldiers never tire of cheating.What do you mean by arresting all the big families in Lujiang and confiscating a few representative cars to Chang'an?

In Lujiang Dutian, have you ever thought about how many fields the Yuan family in Runan occupied?Once the fields are saved, the accumulation of several generations of the Yuan family will be wiped out.

He must be crazy. In order to fight Yuan Shao, he ignored him and died.

Seeing Zhang Xi's anger towards Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's mood eased a little.He remembered Tian Feng's opinion.Although he hates Tian Feng very much now and doesn't even want to see Tian Feng's face, he has to admit that Tian Feng's plan is right.

Yuan Shu seemed to be proud of what he did, but he pushed the court into a corner.

If the imperial court supported Yuan Shu, it would be tantamount to stating that the imperial court would implement Dutian in Shandong.This will inevitably arouse fierce resistance from Shandong scholar-bureaucrats. The tyranny is well deserved, and the Shandong states will inevitably fight against the imperial court with the same hatred.

In this way, he can not only support the people of Shandong to fight against the imperial court, but even play the banner of changing the dynasty.

If the imperial court does not support Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu will not only be busy in vain, but also bring shame on himself.He can take this opportunity to regain the position of the Patriarch of the Yuan family, whether he is in Jizhou or enters the court in the future, he will be able to respond to everyone.

It's just... I really can't swallow my breath.

If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it.

Zhang Xi tried his best, and Feng Ji followed suit. After a lot of talking, Yuan Shao finally got Yuan Shao to accept the reality and wrote a letter to negotiate a peace.
