"Asshole!"
"So arrogant!"
"Who does he think he is? What kind of face does he have to say such things to me? What kind of status does he assume? Do I need him to accuse and teach me a lesson?"
Located in the prefecture of Nanpi County.
Yuan Shao was extremely angry.
His face was flushed red, and veins popped out on his forehead. He was holding a silk book in his hand, which he kept swinging around.
Even after a word.
He slammed the silk book directly onto the desk.
Feng Ji and Xu You, who were standing at the foot of the hall, looked at each other, wondering what exactly was written in the letter that could make their master so angry.
You two look at me and I look at you.
After hesitating for a long while.
After all, it was Xu You who took two steps forward, raised his hand to Yuan Shao and asked, "Master Fu, what happened?"
I heard my subordinates asking.
Yuan Shaocai barely suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed to the letter with a gloomy expression, and then suppressed the anger in his heart and said full of displeasure.
"I don't know where the news leaked out. I was trying to contact all parties to jointly elect Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperor. The news reached Yuan Gongdao in Nanyang."
"This guy is so proud that he actually wrote a letter to reprimand me, saying that if you come from the Yuan family, you should abide by the Yuan family's rules."
"The Yuan family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations. The children of the Yuan family should strive to be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. How could they do such a rebellious and unethical thing."
"Anyway, he said all the good and bad things. I was scolded by him. It's really unfavorable to be such a bastard!"
…
Hear this.
The expressions of Xu You and the other two people suddenly became strange. Even someone as sophisticated as Feng Ji, his face was twitching one after another at this moment.
There is an unbearable posture.
Why are the children of the Yuan family vying to be loyal ministers?
I am afraid that among the entire Runan Yuan family, among the descendants who are still alive right now, you, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, are the most disloyal to the Han Dynasty.
Just as Yuan Shao said.
Where do you have the nerve to scold others?
But having said that, I could only curse secretly in my heart. After all, it was Yuan Shaoxian who did something extraordinary and was caught by Yuan Shu.
So there is nothing we can do about being beaten up.
Although he knew that Yuan Shao was angry at the moment, the anger in his heart would not subside for a while.
But as a staff adviser, we still have to discuss issues when it’s time to discuss them, so after a while of thinking about the wording.
Feng Ji decided to start with the side drum.
"Master Fu, Yuan Jiujiu is far away in Nanyang. Logically speaking, he shouldn't get the news so quickly. It has only been so long now, and he has already sent his reply to us."
"I suspect that in Nanpi County, there may be an informant arranged by Yuan Gongguo, and the official position of the informant is not low, otherwise the news would not have been received as soon as the decision came out."
…
Being interrupted by Feng Ji.
The angry look on Yuan Shao's face softened a bit, and he began to think.
After pondering for a while.
He nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
"What Yuan Tu said is reasonable. Cao Mengde once told me before that the news that I sent Wen Chou to Jinxiang County to discuss matters with him reached Yuan Gongli's ears in a very short time."
"I think that Yuan Shu not only has spies in Nanpi County, but also has ambushes around many leaders of the northern forces."
As soon as this statement came out.
The two people in the hall were suddenly shocked.
Xu You couldn't help but frown, and said with a rather shocked look on his face.
"Fu Jun, being able to place spies among many forces without knowing it is not something that can be achieved overnight, and the resources consumed are not a small amount."
"Yuan Jiujiu has great plans!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.
It’s exactly what Xu You said.
Placing an informant on one's own territory can at best be regarded as a personal grudge against oneself.
But many forces, including Cao Cao, are involved. What Yuan Shu wants to do can be figured out by just thinking about it with his toes.
It really is……
Not a family, don’t enter the same family!
…
"Yuan Tu, it's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. Yuan Gongli is throwing sand at us, so we have to retaliate properly no matter what."
"It's up to you to arrange this matter, and strive to have our people under Yuan Shu's hands everywhere in the shortest possible time."
"Whether he is in Nanyang County or not, I must infiltrate his territory and his men into a sieve!"
Fengji immediately cupped his hands and nodded in agreement.
It is common for forces to fight and plant spies into each other's territory.
However, Yuan Shao had never thought of reaching out to Yuan Shu before, so his movements were slightly slower.
And after saying this.
Yuan Shao turned to Xu You and said, "Ziyuan, you will be responsible for another matter. With Nanpi County as the center, you will conduct an inventory of the situation in several surrounding counties."
"Eliminate all informants who may have been planted by Yuan Gongrou, whether they have solid evidence or just suspicion!"
Speaking of which.
Yuan Shao paused for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but sneered.
"Although he had insight into our plan this time, it was not without its benefits. At least we were aware of his wolfish ambitions, and were alerted in advance and eradicated the insiders he planted around us."
"If you have a heart, you can calculate a heart without a heart. Let's see what happens to him!"
If Yuan Shu senses it.
At this moment, he was far away in Nanyang County, and he should be sneezing non-stop.
After all, he was really wronged.
In addition to sending such a letter.
Nothing else was done.
Even if he did have an informant in Nanpi County, his level of informant was not high enough for such a secret matter as establishing a new king.
The information he got was completely leaked deliberately by Cao Ang.
Spies didn't work at all.
As a result, it will be eradicated.
How can we not be unjust?
…
After arranging these two things.
The anger in Yuan Shao's heart was almost gone, and he sat back in his seat with a calm expression.
He took the silk book written by Yuan Shu and read it over and over again.
Then I thought quietly for a while.
So long.
Yuan Shaofang sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said with a bitter look on his face.
"Although I despise Yuan Jiujiu, one thing I must admit is that he is actually very powerful right now, has sufficient military supplies, and is no less powerful than us."
"If he is determined to oppose this matter, then our plan may come to nothing."
"Yuan Tu, Zi Yuan, between you two, where should we go now?"
Feng Ji and Xu You both looked a little solemn.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but think.
The plan they prepared was originally carried out secretly, thinking that as long as they could win the support of many forces in the north, they would jointly elect Liu Yu as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
By then, even if Yuan Shu and others want to express their opposition, they may not be able to do anything.
It's a pity that the plan is now dead.
It's over before it even begins.
…
Thinking quietly for a moment.
Feng Ji sighed secretly and took the initiative to clarify the words to Yuan Shao.
"Master Fu, now our army is facing a dispute with Gongsun Zan. At this critical juncture, we must not establish another strong enemy."
"Once we fall into a situation where we are attacked from both sides, even if we have the help of the Yanzhou Cao family, we will probably be defeated in the end."
"In my opinion, it's better to give up!"
If Feng Ji was the only one who said this, then Yuan Shao might still hesitate for a while.
But now Xu You also holds the same attitude.
"Master Fu, the people we sent to Youzhou came back not long ago. They were driven out by Liu Zhoumu."
"This is the third time that Liu Bo'an has rejected our proposal. It shows that his opposition is firm. Unless we can forcefully tie him up and help him ascend to the throne of emperor, everything will be empty talk."
"Right now, there are many difficulties at both ends. It's better to give up as soon as possible as Yuan Tu said. We can still spare our energy and do other things."
Yuan Shao is a noble family.
Comes with a very unique property.
The more counselors involved in an event, the lower his action efficiency and output power will be.
This is because the more counselors there are, the more words you say to me, Yuan Shao will find it reasonable to listen to everyone, but the effect is worse than not listening.
There are only two counselors present now.
And the two counselors rarely reached agreement.
Yuan Shao naturally responded accordingly and was able to make decisions quickly without swinging back and forth.
…
"According to your words, give up the plan of establishing another emperor and give up contact with Liu Bo'an."
Yuan Shao waved his hand.
Even if a decision is made.
And after these words.
Yuan Shao said "swish" again, stood up suddenly, and walked quickly to the map hanging aside.
Pointing to the boundary of Youzhou north of Bohai County with his finger, his eyes flickered one after another, and then he ordered with a calm, powerful voice and full of momentum.
"Since the plan to establish another emperor is unsustainable, let's start preparing for another thing."
"I don't think we need to wait any longer. If we seize the entire Jizhou sooner, we will be able to strengthen our strength sooner rather than later, instead of just owning one county like now, with only one county and one left."
"Later, you will tell me to go down and send someone to go to Gongsun Zan. Tell him that I support him in becoming the shepherd of Jizhou and ask him to send troops to attack Han Fu!"
As Yuan Shao issued the highest order.
His right and left hands followed him to the map.
The two of them bowed and saluted in unison, and then made an impassioned promise in their voices.
As Yuan Shao's first-tier counselors, naturally the higher Yuan Shao's status is, the better they can follow the rising tide.
Therefore, Yuan Shao was determined to capture Jizhou, and Feng Ji and Xu You became excited.
…
After many large and small matters have been discussed.
Xu You and Feng Ji were planning to resign.
But Yuan Shao suddenly remembered something and asked Xu You to stay.
After Fengji leaves.
Yuan Shao came to Xu You and asked him: "Ziyuan, I asked you to arrange messengers to deliver letters to various forces in the north. How are the responses to the letters now? What is the attitude of most of them?"
Although the plan to establish another emperor has failed.
But this did not prevent Yuan Shao from using these replies to find out who was on his side and who was against him.
And Xu You heard Yuan Shao ask about this matter.
After slightly cupping his hands, he hurriedly replied: "Except for the reply letter sent from Puyang County and belonging to Cao Zixiu, the prefect of Dongjun, which will arrive today, the rest of the replies have been completed."
"Except for those such as Yanzhou Mu Cao Mengde, Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong and others who expressed firm opposition, and a few people did not express their opinions, most of the others agreed with your idea and expressed their willingness to support it."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Find the location of Puyang County on the map, and then draw the distance to Nanpi County.
He muttered to himself in a daze: "It's a long way to go, but we're the last to arrive?"
But it was just a mention.
After all, the road is difficult to travel these days, and it is impossible for the messenger to take the official route all the way. It is normal for something to happen when crossing the mountain road.
Therefore, the thought is just a passing thought.
Yuan Shao then focused on the key issues, couldn't help but frown, and repeated a certain sentence from Xu You's report.
"Cao Mengde opposes the establishment of a new king?"
…
Yuan Shao was a little worried.
Yanzhou, currently occupied by the Cao family, is Jizhou's southern neighbor after all. Cao Cao's own attitude also has a great impact on Jizhou's political ecology.
If Cao Cao couldn't stand on the same front as him on many things, there would be some trouble.
Perhaps he saw Yuan Shao's worries.
Xu You's eyes were dripping. After turning around twice, he suddenly spoke to Yuan Shao.
"Don't worry, Lord. In my opinion, Cao Mengde should be protecting the dignity of the Han Dynasty. It is this matter that makes him oppose it, not you personally."
"You, me, and Meng De are all old acquaintances. How can you not know what kind of temper he has, Mr. Fu?"
"Besides, in the last reply from Puyang County, Meng De's son Cao Zixiu, although he did not express his support for such a big plan, he still expressed his willingness to cooperate with your arrangements."
"What's the point of worrying about this?"
Xu You once again made great achievements this time.
His words instantly dispelled Yuan Shao's doubts and his expression instantly softened.
As Xu You said.
The three of them all played together back then, and whatever their tempers were, they all knew each other.
Cao Mengde is indeed a loyal royalist.
Moreover, when a son meets his father, he can gain a glimpse of his father.
It must be obvious what Meng De meant.
"Okay, nothing happens. You can keep those reply letters for me, Ziyuan. I will read them one by one when I have free time."
Xu You responded.
Then he said goodbye and left.
…………
With the end of the three-person discussion.
Initiated by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan actively joined, and Han Fu passively accepted the move, the changes in Jizhou's structure suddenly began.
However, there is still one missing chess player.
It is Cao Ang who is staying safely in Dongjun at this moment.
