Let's talk about Tai Fu Ma Rixi and Tai Servant Zhao Qi. They came to Hebei and first went to Gongsun Zan's camp to announce the decree.
To be honest, Gongsun Zan was very distressed during this period. Why do you say this?
The whole thing starts with him hanging on to the no-war card and sticking to his guns. It was fine some time ago, but Yuan Shao had no choice but to stand here. Gongsun Zan felt relieved and a little proud.
Later, I learned that Liu Yu was getting ready to invade his lair. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he wanted to retreat and deal with Liu Yu.
Who knows that Yuan Shao refused to let him go and wanted to retreat several times. As soon as he made a move, Yuan Shao's army discovered him and had to stay here.
It's very frustrating to go forward, but I can't make progress, and I can't go back, and I can't go back.
When he heard that the angel had come to make peace, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and went out to meet him from a hundred miles away, and paid homage to him again.
The next day, the two came to Yuan Shao's camp early in the morning to announce the edict, and took Gongsun Zan with them to write peace letters.
Before the two arrived, Yuan Shao knew about it and gathered all the civil and military officials to discuss in the big tent.
When everyone arrived, Yuan Shao told everyone the news that Yuan Fang had inquired about.
Yuan Shao asked for advice: "Today, an angel came to declare peace, asking me to make peace with Gongsun Zan. Please decide for me, war or peace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liao stood up and reported, "My lord Mingjian, Gongsun Zan is now at the end of his rope. In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy him first and then take advantage of the situation to occupy Youzhou. In this way, my lord can rely on the advantage of occupying the two states as soon as possible." The tiger occupies Hebei."
"Yes, kill this guy Gongsun Zan"
"Yes, destroy him"
The generals echoed, especially Wen Chou who spoke loudest, but Zhao Yun frowned and did not join in the booing.
Seeing this, Jushu quickly stood up and admonished, "No, General Zhang's words are wrong. Although Gongsun Zan has suffered some damage, his strength is still there. If we attack forcefully, the enemy will be trapped and still fighting, which will cause great losses, especially for It’s unwise. Besides, Jizhou is determined and cannot use troops. If Gongsun Zan is destroyed, he will face threats from other forces in Youzhou and the barbarians. I think it is impossible."
After all, Zhang Liao is a general who knows his troops, but he just didn't react. After hearing Ju Shou's analysis, he understood instantly.
He clasped his fists at Jushou and said in admiration, "Thank you sir for your teaching. Liao Ye thinks it's not the right time now."
Jushou smiled slightly and returned the salute.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied when he saw that the generals were at peace and said, "That's the case. Then we will obey the imperial edict and make peace with Gongsun Zan and deal with him later." After saying that, he ordered Yuan Fang to invite the two angels into the camp.
In fact, after Yuan Shao learned the news, he discussed it with Guo Jia alone. Guo Jia also believes that Gongsun Zan can be defeated, but cannot be destroyed. Yuan Shao thought so, so he had already decided. Today he just wanted to listen to everyone’s opinions.
"Yes, my lord, greetings"
Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, everyone stood up and agreed.
After a while, the two men walked in with the imperial edict.
Yuan Shao had already ordered the incense table to be set up, ready to receive the order.
Seeing this, Grand Tutor Ma Rixi didn't talk nonsense, so he announced the decree.
"Yuan Shao is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has made great contributions to the country. Today, he is specially awarded the position of Jizhou Mu. I hope he will continue to work hard and serve the imperial court."
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao would like to thank you for your kindness."
Although he knew that this was Dong Zhuo's intention, Yuan Shao still led everyone to accept the order and thanked him endlessly.
The two of them also knew that this was not the will of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and they felt embarrassed. After conveying the decree, he handed Gongsun Zan's letter of reconciliation to Yuan Shao. After declining the offer to stay, he went straight back to Chang'an without stopping.
After they left, all the civil and military officials came over to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, lord, for getting the position of Jizhou Shepherd"
"Congratulations, my lord, Jizhou is here."
In the past, the ministers were rewarded in the name of Jizhou Mu, but now they are justified.
Although Jizhou Mu has a false reputation, he can still attract many people. No, it attracts many people, which is wrong.
So Yuan Shao was very happy and sent Yuan Fang to reply to Gongsun Zan, saying that he agreed to reconcile.
As a result, the two reconciled, and the war with Gongsun Zan came to an end. Yuan Shao ordered the army to return to Jizhou on the same day, taking the army and prisoners with him.
The 80,000-strong army marched day and night. Within a week, they saw the female wall of Yecheng from a distance.
Yuan Shao took the lead, escorted by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and moved forward in groups. The army was led by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to follow behind.
Less than a stone's throw away, the city gate opened wide and several pairs of voices and shadows rushed out from inside.
Yuan Shao looked carefully and saw that Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Zhen Yan, Gao Lan and other civil servants and generals who had stayed behind had come out.
When everyone saw Yuan Shao, they immediately dismounted, knelt on the ground and congratulated him.
"I congratulate my lord on taking up the post of Jizhou Shepherd."
"Congratulations, lord, for defeating Gongsun Zan"
It turned out that the news that he defeated Gongsun Zan and was awarded the shepherd of Jizhou spread throughout Jizhou. After receiving the news, they left the city early to welcome their lord back to the city.
"Haha, you don't need to be polite. We can win a big victory this time, thanks to you staying in Yecheng and saving our army from worries. This is everyone's credit, not mine alone. Everyone, get up quickly and follow me in City, let’s have a good celebration.” Yuan Shao laughed endlessly and said humbly.
"Thank you, lord"
Everyone was very happy to hear that their lord did not take credit and praised everyone. They all stood up to say thanks and welcome the lord into the city.
So, Yuan Shao, accompanied by the civil and military officials, walked into Yecheng together and returned to the Governor's Mansion to celebrate.
After a while, Zhao Yun and others also arrived and handed over the army and prisoners to Gao Lan for handling. Together they went straight to the banquet hall to celebrate their lord's promotion.
Yuan Shao took everyone back to his mansion, and the banquet had already been prepared.
Yuan Shao found his seat, asked everyone to sit down, and ordered the banquet to start without waiting for Zhao Yun and the others.
The Lord is now granted the title of Jizhou Shepherd, and there is actually a land of Jizhou. Now that we have established a foothold in the north, the next step is Youzhou, Qingzhou, and even the whole world.
It's very exciting to think about it this way. The success of our Lord's great cause cannot be achieved without us, and we are indispensable. Everyone is very excited.
No need, Yuan Shao greeted me and started drinking. In the meantime, Yuan Shao was invited to drink from time to time. He was very happy today, so Yuan Shao was naturally not afraid. They started drinking with each other, and the atmosphere was very lively.
After a while, Zhao Yun and others also arrived, especially Guo Jia, a drunkard. With his liveliness, the atmosphere became even more lively.
For a while, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, and before he knew it, Yuan Shao was a little intoxicated.
At some point, Yuan Fang was sent to the backyard and his room.
Yuan Shao was in a daze and didn't know what he encountered. It feels quite soft and comfortable, and it also has a bit of fragrance, which smells great. I was too sleepy, so I lay down and fell asleep.
