After nearly a month, Yuan Shu finally returned to Luoyang on the eve of this auction.
Yuan Shu did not return to Yuan's house immediately, but after finding a tavern. I found a private room and sat down, and not long after, two people slightly older than Yuan Shu walked in.
The two men saluted at the same time and said to Yuan Shu: "Cheng Yu, Jia Xu has met my lord."
Yes, these two people are the two famous poisoners in novels and official history. Yuan Shu also took the two of them under his command early so that he would not face such opponents in the future.
After all, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu's performance in history is so outstanding. As long as they think of the conflict between the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost everyone will subconsciously discuss these two guys.
Yuan Shu looked at Jia Xu and Cheng Yu and said, "Now, I think you should also be aware of the changes in the current situation."
"The eunuchs headed by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Xu, Duan Gui, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun and Guo Sheng worked together in a conspiracy."
"And now, His Majesty also respects one of them, Zhang Rang, as doctor."
"As a result, the eunuchs in the court now control the government, and the common people call these ten most powerful eunuchs the Ten Constant Attendants. It can be said that it is not a good thing."
"However, the current Han Dynasty is full of holes. Now the court itself is digging its own grave to buy and sell officials. I think the world will be in turmoil again in the near future."
"So, what do you two think about the current situation? Should you continue to support the Han Dynasty, or should you wait for the opportunity?"
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu looked at each other, how could they not know what the master in front of them was thinking. If they really helped the Han Dynasty, they would not be found.
Although they knew exactly what Yuan Shu wanted to do, they also knew that they could never let their lord commit something that would bring him infamy.
Moreover, they were completely impressed by Yuan Shu. After all, in their eyes, the current Yuan Shu is not the withered bones in the grave in the eyes of others.
It is a golden scale that will transform into a real dragon when encountering wind and cloud.
Jia Xu: "My lord, I think your lord should wait for the opportunity now."
"First, after obtaining the position of Nanyang Prefectural Shepherd, we will use Nanyang as a base to build it into the lord's base camp."
"Let the people of Nanyang only know that there is no emperor above them, only Lord Zhou Mu."
"This is also the most important step in the master's plan, and it also involves the issue of food."
"But for my lord, food is something that can be bought as long as you have money. We can buy a large amount of food while the world is not in chaos, and store up heavy troops in Nanyang."
"If this happens, the lord will have nothing to worry about. Then he can wait for the world to be in chaos. When the imperial power is unstable, the lord can rise up."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Yuan Shu knew that this guy must have reservations. Because if it was just like this, he could do it by himself. Therefore, Jia Xu was just telling Yuan Shu what he was thinking now.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Zhongde, what do you think?"
Cheng Yu didn't waste any words and said directly: "Lord, I have a plan that will cause chaos in the world."
"And you can let the lord hold the emperor hostage to command the princes. It just depends on whether the lord is willing to do such a thing."
Yuan Shu did not speak, but motioned for Cheng Yu to continue speaking.
Cheng Yu: "My lord, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, the current emperor's body can no longer hold up for a few years. We can speed up the process."
When Cheng Yu said this, a trace of viciousness flashed across his face. There were also gestures in his hands.
Then he continued: "My lord, have you ever thought about what will happen after the emperor dies?"
"Will General He Jin and Shi Changshi unite together, or will they confront each other tit for tat?"
"Will those self-righteous and upright people in the court deceive the young emperor because he is still young and ignorant and try to control the young emperor?"
"Whether the Ten Permanent Attendants and the Great General He Jin are willing to be ridden on their heads by these so-called upright men, this is undoubtedly impossible."
"So, when these three parties and the forces hidden in the dark take action to rectify the situation, all we need to do is send people to encourage the suffering people."
"Then, won't the world's strife begin?"
"The power of the Ten Constant Attendants is mainly reflected in the imperial power, that is, in the palace and in the hands of the young emperor. But General He Jin will definitely not be reconciled to this. After all, his sister is the current queen of His Majesty. "
"So, he will definitely pursue greater rights. After all, how can a butcher from a small place listen to the advice of a counselor? He will only feel that it is the eunuchs headed by Shi Changshi who have taken away his rights."
"Besides, I am certain that General He Jin will fall out with Shi Changshi and the others, which will open up the situation of chaos in the world."
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, there was no change on his face. It was as if the person who suggested the idea just now was not him, he was just waiting quietly for Yuan Shu to speak.
It has to be said that if this guy Cheng Yu doesn't take action, there will definitely be countless casualties once he comes up with his plan.
Moreover, what Cheng Yu just said was that even his uncle Yuan Wei was involved in the scheme. After all, he also knew that the force headed by the so-called generals was actually supported by his uncle Yuan Wei.
That's why he can compete with those eunuchs. Otherwise, just because of his status as a general and uncle of the country, those eunuchs may not think highly of him as a butcher.
Moreover, Cheng Yu's plan could be said to kill three birds with one stone. First, the entire Han army was leaderless. Unable to suppress the world's tycoons and ambitious people, the other is to take advantage of the disputes in the court to benefit themselves.
Moreover, in history, it is true that the struggle for hegemony among princes only started after the death of His Majesty. Otherwise, those people are just some state pastors. Even if the Han Dynasty exists in name only, as long as that person is not dead, they will not dare to rebel.
Naturally, there is no longer the matter of Cao Mengde coercing the emperor to order the princes.
But if Cheng Yu's plan is implemented now, the current emperor will be killed. Then if nothing unexpected happens, things will develop as expected. Yuan Shu will definitely be the most powerful force in the world by then. Even the imperial power seemed insignificant, because at that time Yuan Shu had enough food and grass, and he had troops and generals.
There is no need to fear anyone at all.
Yuan Shu said: "Zhongde, we may not need to worry about these things you mentioned. Since His Majesty is not in good health, we can just wait a little longer."
"I want to take this opportunity to let you two go to Nanyang first. Then, in the name of merchants, I will collect grain. I will send a thousand dead soldiers to protect you and the places where you collect grain."
"And I will be Nanyang's state herdsman soon. Before that, you still need to develop the cultivated land in and around Nanyang as much as possible and grow some food."
"In order to avoid mistakes, wait until I arrive in Nanyang. Those officials, big and small, will be replaced by our own people. I don't know if you two have enough confidence."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and looked at them. After all, these two guys are the only ones under him who are counselors now. As for the other top counselors, he, Yuan Shu, doesn't know why.
As long as he deliberately looked for them, he couldn't find them, and he couldn't even find Jushou and Tian Feng. You must know that these two guys were his brother's advisers in history, and if Yuan Shao hadn't been arrogant after possessing sufficient strength, how could he have lost to Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu.
Perhaps, this is the self-healing of the world's will!
Jia Xu said at this time: "Lord, these things require huge amounts of funds."
"It's just that the two of us have never shown our faces outside of Luoyang. I'm afraid it's difficult to get the people in charge in other regions to fully cooperate with us, so..."
Jia Xu hasn't finished speaking yet, but Yuan Shu also knows what this guy means. It's not that they are afraid that those guys won't cooperate with them, but they are asking for rights with themselves.
The right to kill first and then tell later, because after all, what the two of them value most is their own lives.
As long as they are given this privilege, they can go ahead and do it.
How could Yuan Shu not understand this? Then he said: "The leaders of each region are their own people. As long as you hold the general token, they will not make things difficult for you."
"Before I get to Nanyang, everything will be decided by you two. Moreover, I will not hold you responsible no matter what happens in the future, but the premise is that you can do what I say. .”
Jia Xu: "Thank you for your understanding, my lord. The two of us will set off now."
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu: "Lord, I'll leave!"
After getting Yuan Shu's signal, they all turned and left.
In order to ensure the safety of Cheng Yu and Jia Xu, Yuan Shu exchanged them for two people with peak martial arts from other parallel worlds.
So there was no need to worry about their safety. Then someone knocked on the door outside the box and asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you need more food?"
The waiter knocking on the door was also one of Yuan Shu's own, and he spent hundreds of gold to redeem it from the system. In order to ensure the privacy here, not only him, but the entire tavern staff, from the shopkeeper to the dishwashers and miscellaneous workers, were all purchased by Yuan Shu from the system with money.
Although it cost a lot of money, in Yuan Shu's opinion it was all worth it.
And now at the back door of the tavern, four people were each leading a horse out of the door.
Jia Xu spoke first: "Brother Zhongde, do you think my lord can give up his family ties?"
"My lord does not seem ready to adopt the suggestion that Brother Zhongde just made."
