Yuan Shao hurriedly walked out of the mansion, with Yan Liang naturally guarding the people on his left and right, and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.
I learned from Yuan Fang that Guo Jia was drinking flower wine there.
After walking for an hour, we came to a restaurant with simple and stylish decoration. It actually belonged to a brothel and had the words "Tianxiang Restaurant" written on it.
Yuan Shao walked in casually and was greeted by a burst of fragrance. When I walked in, I saw that the interior was very elegant, graceful but not luxurious, simple yet generous and decent. It seems that the owner of this restaurant is very interesting and attentive.
When a guest arrived, a maid had already greeted him with a sweet and humane voice.
"Mr. Sir, please come and take a seat over here."
Yuan Shao then took a closer look and found that although the maid was gorgeously dressed, she was not vulgar and gave people a refreshing feeling, so he nodded unconsciously.
He said to the maid, "Don't be so troublesome. We are looking for someone. You can just take us there."
The maid promised, "Mr. Sir, please tell me, which guest are you looking for?"
"Where is Guo Jia?" Yuan Shao asked.
"It turns out that Lang Jun is looking for Mr. Jia. Please come with me."
When she heard that she was looking for Guo Jia, the maid suddenly understood and replied.
With that said, he led the way first, leading Yuan Shao and Yan Liang towards the second floor.
After a while, she came to the door of the elegant room. The maid was about to push the door open, but she was stopped by Yuan Shao, indicating that she could go down and that he would not bother her with other matters.
The maid was very polite. After listening to the guest, she bowed slightly and then left.
Just as Yan Liang was about to call Guo Jia out to greet his lord, he heard a burst of talking inside.
Yuan Shao became interested and signaled not to call the door but to listen first.
I only heard a childish voice, which must have been my brother-in-law Liu Ye, who said excitedly, "My brother-in-law, after pacifying Jizhou. I thought that after the threat of the Yellow Turban in Montenegro was eliminated, I could fully deal with Gongsun Zan and the Hu people in Youzhou." Let’s wait until these are settled. Then, we can unify the north and achieve hegemony.”
Yes, it's a very thoughtful idea. Yuan Shao agreed very much and saw that his position as the chief administrator of Jizhou was confirmed.
As soon as Yuan Shao finished sighing, another energetic voice poured cold water on him.
"I disagree with what Ziyang said. In today's world, it doesn't matter how much territory we occupy. The key is to gain the general trend of the world. I think our top priority is to pay close attention to the trends in Guanzhong. Once the situation in Chang'an changes, Yuan Jizhou should seize the opportunity to march westward. Go to Chang'an to welcome His Majesty, restore the ancestral temple in Luoyang, serve the emperor but beg the unworthy ministers. In this way, occupying Guanzhong and eyeing the world will be detrimental to all directions."
It is very good to serve the emperor but not accept the ministers. This is another great sage, Yuan Shao thought. He didn't know who it was. Yuan Shao was very curious and wanted to push the door open and enter.
At this time, Liu Ye's voice sounded again: "What the elder brother said is wrong. I don't expect the Han Dynasty to be revived, and Dong Zhuo cannot be eliminated suddenly. To see the world's opportunities, there is no better way to sit in Hebei and watch the success or failure of the world. With millions of troops, you can do it yourself." You can command the princes and unify the world. Why should you serve the Han Dynasty, grovel and accept the arrogance of those cowards?"
Liu Ye thought he had a trick, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the other middle-aged man proudly, waiting for him to refute.
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was a scolding, and he just heard him shout.
"Liu Ziyang, how can you say that you have no father and no king? Loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of life. Your family has received favor from the emperor. As a member of the Han Dynasty, you should be grateful and swear to repay the emperor's favor. .Assist Yuan Jizhou, go to Chang'an as soon as possible to welcome His Majesty, and save the Holy One from dire straits. As a result, you are indeed, you."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ye was so angry that he couldn't speak. It seemed that he was a royalist.
Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly advised, "Okay, we are all celebrities in Yingchuan. Today is just for talking freely, there is no need to be so excited. Everyone, calm down and continue drinking."
After saying that, he took the two of them to drink, and the two of them went down the slope. They didn't want to discuss this anymore. Only they knew what they were thinking.
Yuan Shao waited for a while and saw that they stopped talking and just drank.
He ordered Yan Liang to guard outside and pushed the door open himself.
Guo Jia was drinking vigorously when he heard someone coming in to disturb him, and he wanted to get angry at that time.
When he saw that it belonged to Yuan Shao and it was not easy for him to have an attack, he had to stop and salute,
"Guo Jia meets the Lord".
The two of them also reacted and saluted.
"Xun Yu met Yuan Jizhou"
"Zi Yang saluted his brother-in-law."
Yuan Shao pretended to be calm and said quickly, "Fengxiao, Ziyang, Wenruo, you don't have to be polite, get up quickly."
None of the three refused, so they stood up and gave up their seats to Yuan Shao.
In fact, my heart has long been upset, and I don't want to have Xun Yu besides Liu Ye.
Speaking of Xun Yu, I have to say that Xun Yu was named after the young boy and was called "The Talent of Wang Zuo". As Cao Cao's chief adviser and hero in unifying the north, he stayed in the middle for more than ten years, handling military and state affairs, and was respectfully called "Xun Lingjun". He made great achievements in planning, plotting, implementing policies, and recruiting people, and was called "my son-in-law" by Cao Cao. This shows how powerful he is. Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel excited and happy when he met him here today.
After Yuan Shao sat down, Xun Yu was the first to ask, "I don't know, how did Yuan Jizhou know his name?"
After hearing this, Guo Jia and Liu Ye were also very curious and turned their heads to listen.
Of course, Yuan Shao couldn't say that he learned it from reading history books, so he had to lie and say, "Who doesn't know the names of Yingchuan celebrities, especially you, Xun Wenruo, you are so famous."
It is worth mentioning that Yingchuan has indeed always been a large county in history. Since its establishment, it has been the most populous and prosperous place outside the capital. Its administrative seat is probably in today's Yuzhou City, Henan Province.
Yingchuan County has a profound cultural heritage and is the birthplace of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor was born here and Xia Yu established his capital in Yingchuan. Therefore, it has become the birthplace of many surnames in China. Throughout history, Yingchuan has produced countless talented people.
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc. are among the best, so it is reasonable to say this.
Before Xun Yu could speak, Liu Ye said excitedly, "I didn't expect us to be so famous anymore, really, hahaha." After saying that, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha"
"Ha ha"
This made us laugh together, which relieved Yuan Shao's embarrassment and took the one on the first page.
Xun Yu was deeply skeptical about this and expressed disbelief. Guo Jia also glanced at Yuan Shao with a meaningful look. But they all see it through but don’t tell it.
How could he not celebrate with a drink after meeting such a great sage, so with the help of Guo Jia's flower wine, Yuan Shao kept toasting, drinking Xun Yu's wine, and bringing Liu Ye's wine with him, hoping to get closer and conquer him. He uses it for himself.
Just like that, you had one cup and I had one cup and started drinking.
