Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning
Chapter 707 The hunt for Yuan Shao has begun! [Seeking monthly votes]
In Jizhou County, the frontline command center is holding a military meeting.
Sima Lang, the military staff officer, read a stack of documents carefully:
“Since Kong Beihai’s articles spread all over the country, famous scholars from all over the country have expressed their views, believing that Yuan Benchu has no respect for the king’s law, eats the emperor’s salary, but has a rebellious heart, and is ashamed of the ancestors of the Yuan family. They also wrote to the court, asking Your Majesty to execute Yuan Shao to comfort the spirits of the Yuan ancestors in heaven.”
Although Kong Rong’s fighting skills are poor, he is a direct descendant of Confucius after all. He has a celebrity aura, coupled with his brilliant literary talent, and his articles are full of emotion, which has attracted the response of the gentry all over the world.
Of course, this response is also selfish. The reputation of the Yuan family has always been too great, which has led to the suppression of other families. So when they seize this opportunity, they naturally want to beat the dog when it is down and increase their own reputation.
In addition, Yuan Shao has recently written a lot of letters asking for help. For local officials from the Yuan family, he ordered them to send troops and food to help; for his former accomplices, although he was polite in his words, he was still arrogant; only for the local princes, he suddenly became flattering, either calling them brother or calling them Mr. So-and-so, with a flattering tone.
Those who received the letter naturally did not want to wade into this muddy water, especially those officials appointed by the court, who were doing well in the local area, and now Yuan Shao suddenly wrote a letter.
Don't respond, after all, they got their official positions through the Yuan family.
But if you respond, you may be dragged into the water, and your own future, including your family, will be ruined.
Although the social atmosphere at that time was to repay a drop of water with a spring, when it came to actual interests, there would be some hesitation.
At this time, Kong Rong published an article scolding Yuan Shao, not only scolding Yuan Shao to pieces, but also listing him as a traitor to the country.
After this hat was put on, countless people who received Yuan Shao's letter were happy.
Brother Benchu, it's not that I won't help you, but you are now a traitor. If I help you, it will be equivalent to aiding the enemy, and I will be despised by the scholars of the world.
Some people directly took out the letter written by Zhuge Liang to attack Yuan Shao half a year ago, separated Yuan Shao from the Yuan family, and called Yuan Shao a scum of the Yuan family.
With this article as a prelude, everyone is more confident, because we have official positions due to the kindness of the Yuan family, and we have nothing to do with you, Yuan Shao.
Of course, there are also a few students and former officials of the Yuan family who abandoned their homes and careers and came to Nanpi from thousands of miles away, intending to do their best for Mr. Yuan.
However, before these people arrived in Nanpi, they were arrested and sent to various construction sites or mines, forcing them to reform their thoughts through labor.
Although some of the fish that slipped through the net broke through the blockades and finally reached the Jerusalem in their hearts - Nanpi County, they were treated coldly by Yuan Shao because they did not bring many troops and almost no food and grass, which gave people a feeling that those who should come did not come, and those who should not come came.
Under several attacks, Yuan Shao's reputation plummeted.
Yuwen Chengdu seized the opportunity to launch a public opinion war, asking the noble families in Yecheng to stand up and accuse Yuan Shao, and if they did not speak with enough emotion, he would confiscate 10% of the land.
The noble families in Yecheng had already lost most of their land by the court. If they were forced to levy more, they would not be able to maintain their family business.
So for the sake of their families and status, these noble families tearfully accused Yuan Shao of the evil things he had done, such as forcibly occupying other people's concubines, forcibly collecting food and grass, and forcibly collecting corvee labor, etc. Anyway, in their mouths, Yuan Shao had not done anything human in the more than a year in Yecheng.
To discredit a person, you have to make him even breathe wrong.
Although Yuwen Chengdu has not been in the real world for a long time, he is not unfamiliar with this kind of operation. Several hot topics on the Internet were created in this way.
Now, he is using the 21st century online public opinion war to deal with a child of a noble family in 191 AD. It is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.
Next, Ma Teng and others who participated in the 18-way princes alliance came forward to speak out and accuse Yuan Shao of various operations during the princes alliance.
The victim Zhang Miao was even more jumping up and down, spreading Yuan Shao's indifference everywhere, Tao Qian and others also echoed him. They also brought up Cao Aman, saying that it was Cao Cao who organized everyone at the time, and it was Zhang Miao who contributed money and effort. Yuan Shao took away the position of leader without any merit, which was really disgusting.
Normally speaking, this matter would not be a big deal in more than a month.
But now the court has an intercom system. Once someone expresses his opinion, it will spread quickly, and some places with developed communications have already seen Yuan Benchu's bound volumes.
The surfing experts of the 21st century were still a little confused when facing the bound volume, let alone Yuan Benchu, who was simply unable to refute it.
Under such public opinion, Cao Aman had to stand up and express his position. He came up and said that he would never reconcile with those who split the Han Dynasty. The meaning was very clear. It was okay for everyone to fight to death, but if you want to split the Han Dynasty, don't even think about it!
Liu Yu was also scolded along with Yuan Shao.
Originally, he had nothing to do with it, but this guy was confused and actually sent troops to mediate beyond his ability. Now, his good reputation was gone in an instant.
The great Confucian scholars Cai Yong and Lu Zhi each expressed their doubts about Liu Yu in the court.
Liu Yu always said that the Youzhou under his rule was in harmony with the people, and the doors were not locked at night and the roads were not picked up. But at the same time, there were constantly foreign races going south to plunder, and the front of the army even ran to Jinan County, Pingyuan County, and Yecheng.
All of them were repeatedly plowed by foreign races, and they still said that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment and warmly supported him. Isn't this a contradiction?
At the end of the Han Dynasty, reputation building had reached a pathological level. People generally followed the principle of not digging into the root of the matter and not questioning the authenticity. Now that a great scholar has taken the lead in questioning, it is obvious that this is going to be settled.
Some intellectuals who are active in their eyes have also begun to question Liu Yu, especially the hawkish families in the Chang'an area.
Damn, we can't even touch the shadow of the alien race when we want to kill them, but you Youzhou let them do whatever they want. This is simply a courier pushing a box - it's really a big piece of cargo!
Liu's clan leader wanted to speak for Liu Yu, so Guo Jia visited him that night and didn't leave until midnight. I don't know what they talked about. Instead, the next day, the clan leader changed his attitude and wanted to kill Liu Yu's whole family. Anyone who dared to speak for Liu Yu would be scolded.
Under such public opinion, Yuan Shu also jumped out to cooperate. As the head of the Yuan clan, he deprived Yuan Shao of all his identities. He also said that Yuan Shao was a traitor and advised him to surrender to the court as soon as possible and not to humiliate the Yuan clan.
Yuan Shu did this because he felt that Yuan Shao was finished and wanted to inherit Yuan Shao's reputation and political legacy, especially the title of four generations of three officials and Yuan's disciples.
But what he didn't know was that once this kind of internal strife came out, it was not Yuan Shao himself who collapsed, but the entire Yuan family.
The heirs of a family were engaged in internal strife. Isn't this an opportunity for competitors to take advantage?
In short, Yuwen Chengdu relied on the intercom system to quietly wage a vigorous public opinion war in the Three Kingdoms world.
From the beginning to now, it has only been more than a month, but Yuan Shao has been ruined. Even if he survives in the future, there is no hope of a comeback.
Sima Lang said:
"According to the intelligence we have, soldiers in Nanpi are running away every day, from dozens to hundreds, all of them despise Yuan Shao's character and leave him."
People in the late Han Dynasty attached great importance to moral integrity. A good reputation can attract people from all over the world to help. For example, when Lao Guan was shot in the arm, Hua Tuo took the initiative to help treat the disease, leaving behind the legend of scraping bones to treat poison.
But for people with bad reputations, even if you are rich, people with high moral character will leave you.
For example, A Man was abandoned by his first love Chen Gong because of his bad character. Later, he would rather assist Lu Bu, who only had muscles in his brain, and disdained Cao Cao.
After listening to the report, Yuwen Chengdu opened the battle plan for hunting Yuan Shao that he had previously formulated with Xun You, and prepared to close the net.
Taking advantage of the gap when the whole country is condemning Yuan Shao, he destroyed the lord of the north in the original book and ended the battle of Jizhou.
Cao Xing said:
"We can rush to Nanpi directly along the Qingshui River and use blitzkrieg to attack Nanpi County. We should be able to resolve the battle within three days, right?"
Sima Lang recently read the battle plan several times and shook his head and said:
"This plan can be used against others, but it is not appropriate to use it against Yuan Benchu... Yuan Benchu calls himself a hero. He must be defeated in a fair and square manner, so that he will be convinced and his supporters will be relieved. If it is a sneak attack, perhaps Yuan's disciples and old officials will always be concerned about this matter, which will be a hidden danger sooner or later."
Sima Lang's mission for this expedition was originally to persuade Cao Cao to surrender, but A Man never fought against his side, and until now, he has not had the opportunity to persuade him to surrender.
However, during this period, he has learned a lot of skills in analyzing the battle situation from Yuwen Chengdu. Although he did not command the army personally, being able to analyze the battle situation itself is an improvement.
At this time, the intercom next to him rang, and Xun You's voice came from it:
"The army will set up defenses layer by layer and surround Nanpi. We will attack Nanpi with drums and gongs first. When the Nanpi defenders are exhausted, let the army sing Runan songs together... Yuan Benchu has now naturally recognized the situation. He wants respect, so we will give him respect. In the past, the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, was surrounded by the Chu Song. Let's do a replica and give him enough face and money. He will have to go on the road even if he doesn't want to."
Yuwen Chengdu picked up the intercom and said:
"I think so too. This battle is important. Mr. Gongda should also participate."
Xun You and Huang Zhong had just captured Zhangwu County of Bohai County. This county was just north of Nanpi, and it happened to attack Nanpi County from both sides with Yuwen Chengdu.
Of course, Hejian County to the west of Nanpi County also had garrisons from the court. The entire Nanpi County had already been surrounded by the court army, and there was no way to rush out. Xun You's battle plan made all the generals realize that the next siege would be very tragic.
Because this was Yuan Shao's farewell performance, and it was also to make up for the regrets of Yuan's disciples.
After this battle, Yuan Shao died, and everyone no longer missed him. They just did what they had to do in the future, and didn't have to worry about it all the time.
Song Xian raised his hand and asked:
"What if Yuan Shao disguised himself as a soldier and escaped?"
Yuwen Chengdu took the teacup in front of him and drank a sip of Xinyang Maojian brought from the real world and said:
"Then take a prisoner who looks like him and execute him as Yuan Shao. As long as everyone believes that Yuan Shao is dead, even if he runs to Chang'an, he will be a dead man in everyone's mind, and there will be no impact."
Song Xian understood it at once:
"I understand, fakes are good things... But if Yuan Benchu really dares to go to Chang'an, Mr. Fengxiao will definitely not mind letting him be a cadaver teacher."
If you fall into Guo Jia's hands, don't think it will be easy.
Now that the tactics have been formulated, the next step is to assign combat tasks.
Several armies converged on Nanpi County. There are many people but few achievements, so we need to fight for it.
Cao Xing was the first to ask for battle:
"Since this battle is to bid farewell to Yuan Benchu, our artillery should not bully others. I ask to lead the team to attack the city and let our artillery show our close combat level."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Xian:
"You can pull it down. Artillery is so valuable. It's hard to train them to learn how to calculate parabolas. This will cost you a lot. The general can take off your pants, hang you up and beat you."
Cao Xing also knew that the artillery had little chance of participating in the war, but he still had to fight for it:
"Our artillery can't do it, but your military band can do it?"
Song Xian shrugged:
"I didn't say yes. I'm going to learn Runan's nursery rhymes and folk songs, and try to give Yuan Benchu a tear gas... Do you think Yuan Shao would feel it if I asked people to shout "Ma Lan Blossoms" together?"
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and played "Ma Lanhua twenty-one, two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty one..."
Yuwen Chengdu smiled and said:
"This nursery rhyme is not from the Han Dynasty. If you ask someone to shout it out, Yuan Shao will only find it incomprehensible... It's a pity that there is no Henan opera now, and Henan operas such as "Chaoyanggou" can no longer be played... Ask if there are any Runan in the army If you don’t have one, just use nursery rhymes from Luoyang.”
Yuan Shao grew up in Luoyang since he was a child. He is half Luoyang. He will definitely be very emotional when he hears the nursery rhymes of his childhood.
But there is no rush now, you can ask around slowly.
After talking about this matter, Yuwen Chengdu began to assign troop dispatching tasks.
The men and horses from the main camp of Gan County marched towards Nanpi in five routes, marching together by land and water, not giving Yuan Shao any chance to counterattack.
When the captains of each battalion were ordered to leave, Cao Xing asked in a low voice:
"General Yuwen, what should we do if Guo Tu and others surrender?"
Yuwen Chengdu said:
"If Jushou, Xin Ping, and Feng Ji surrender, it is acceptable, but if it is Guo Tu, it is best to let him take the initiative to bury Yuan Shao... There is something wrong with this person's mentality. Even if he surrenders to the court, something will happen to him in the future. Moreover, Yuan Shao’s death needs to be buried to be perfect, and at the same time, it can also eliminate the guilt in the hearts of Yuan’s disciples.”
No matter when, people are lenient to themselves and strict to others. After Yuan Shao died, if no one was buried, those disciples and old officials would regret their own weakness and not accompany Yuan Gong on his final journey.
But if someone is buried, they will feel that Yuan is not alone on the road. We have role models, so they don’t have to worry about this matter.
In short, the purpose of the army to surround Yuan Shao is not to execute Yuan Shao at all, but to reassure Yuan's disciples and former officials. Only in this way will they not cause trouble under the control of guilt and regret.
Cao Xing made an OK gesture:
"Obviously, if there is a chance to catch Guo Tu, we will let him take the initiative to bury Yuan Shao."
"Pay attention to your methods and don't let others see it."
"General, don't worry. This is our army's tradition. It's definitely more serious than committing suicide."
On the other side, in Huang County, Donglai County, Ma Chao arrested officials who hated Tai Shici.
He thought he had some deep grudge, but after asking, he learned that when Taishi Ci was serving as an official in Donglai County, in order to change the county governor, the state got some materials and sent them to Luoyang to prepare for the county governor's crime. Taishi Ci rushed to Luoyang in advance. Waiting at the gate of Luoyang City, he tore the materials into pieces, and then he was hated by others and was forced to leave his hometown.
It is not the behavior of a gentleman to avenge private hatred... After hearing this, Kong Rong became bookish again and was ready to let his men beat these people severely.
Ma Chao did not agree, because even if they were beaten, these people would still hold grudges against Tai Shici. He directly contacted Xu Rong and issued a transfer order to transfer all these officials and their families to Bingzhou Border Pass.
Relatively speaking, this is a conspiracy.
If you go to the border gate, you have no foundation, and you have a record of reporting on your colleagues. You will definitely not be treated well. The conditions at the border gate are difficult, which can be regarded as the purpose of punishment.
If you don't go, it's a disobedience and you can take it easy.
Of course, they can also resign, but without their official status, they are not at the mercy of others.
Ma Chao brought a lot of things to Tai Shici's mother, including everything for food, including two boxes of longan, lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge, which were in short supply.
He opened it and let the old lady have a taste. The old man, who was over fifty years old, only took one bite and then hurriedly tried to reseal the lid:
"I want to keep it for Ci'er. He has never eaten such delicious food since he was a child."
Ma Chao said:
"You have to eat it before you open it, otherwise it will spoil. When brother Ziyi comes, there will be a lot of delicious food. You can eat it. The more you eat, the happier brother Ziyi will be."
Kong Rong was filled with emotion after seeing this:
"For such a loving mother and filial son, I have allowed a traitor to frame Ziyi for many years. I feel really guilty."
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Such a pure and filial person was around, but Kong Rong didn't notice it and felt that he was very derelict in his duty.
After leaving Huang County, Ma Chao and Kong Rong continued eastward to Dongmou County, between Yantai and Weihai, to determine the location for building a dock.
Here, Kong Rong finally realized the magnanimity and grandeur of "facing Jieshi in the east to view the sea".
Ma Chao looked at the map and finally felt that it would be better to build a dock city at the location of Weihai in later generations. Firstly, there is an excellent harbor here. In addition, the vicinity of Weihai is relatively flat and surrounded by a few hills, which is where wind turbines are built. Great place.
In the future, this place will become a naval base to prepare for overseas expeditions.
Isn't there a quagmire in Liaodong that is difficult to break through? Then go directly by boat. Not only can you level Liaodong County and Lelang County, but you can also level the Bangzi Peninsula to prevent them from planning the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future.
When Ma Chao was talking about this, Li Shimin from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with his hands behind his back, was also staring at the Goguryeo region on the map with hatred.
He had recently downloaded several Korean historical dramas and found that it was really as the Third Master's Wife said, that he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was shot blind by the wise and powerful Korean general and even knelt down to beg for mercy before Goguryeo spared his life.
The little guy was furious, but unfortunately he was not strong enough to go on an expedition.
He walked around and was thinking about how to vent his anger when he suddenly saw himself in the mirror... Hey, I can't take revenge here, but I can in the Journey to the West world!
This guy quickly copied several movies and TV series to a mobile hard drive, intending to let Xuanzang take them back to strengthen Li Shimin over there...
