The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Popular recommendation:

Yingchuan and Nanyang counties border, go southwest from Xu County, about 200 li, leave the boundary of Yingchuan County, enter the boundary of Nanyang County, continue to the southwest, still go up and down for 200 miles, and then arrive at Nanyang County. Wan County, the prefecture, has a total mileage of only 400 miles, but there are quite a lot of rivers and mountains blocking it. Therefore, Liu Xie's new will to Yuan Shu did not travel very fast, and it took about five or six days to arrive at Wan. County, and sent it to Yuan Shu.

In the splendid and luxurious lobby, Yuan Shu glanced three times at the same time. After reading the decree, he threw it on the table, very impatient, and said, "This sage is really a rookie, ignorant of people, and too ignorant of interest! The last time Laizhi, I have returned to him, saying that I am sick, I have foot problems, I cannot ride in a car, I cannot travel long distances, and I cannot go to Yingchuan to see him. How many days have I sent my return form? Yue, here is another order from him!" He picked up the jade bowl on the table, ate the ice cream in his mouth, and sighed comfortably.

One of the attendants in the hall asked, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, did the sage still summon Duke Ming to Yingchuan to see him?"

Yuan Shu said: "Compared to the order, there is one more thing to mention besides the audience."

The person who asked the question was Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's chief historian. Yang Hong said, "Dare to ask Duke Ming, what's the matter?"

Yuan Shu said, "Tell me to hand Guo Si over to the imperial court."

——However, when Guo Si came to Nanyang to join Yuan Shu, Yang Hong did not agree with Yuan Shu accepting him, and said to Yuan Shu at that time: "Guo Si and Li Jue bullied the court, and they fought each other again and caused chaos in Chang'an. Li Jue kidnapped the emperor into the camp, Guo Si detained the ministers, and Ding Dian had no ministers. The two of them acted daringly, and the law of heaven would not allow them to be disobedient thieves! , I will bring myself infamy at home." Yuan Shu suggested that he might as well refuse.

However, Yuan Shu's confidant Li Ye, who disagreed with Yang Hong, suggested that Yuan Shu accept Guo Si, and the reason given was: "Guo Si, a strong general, in the past the princes begged Dong, Guo Si tried repeatedly to defeat the rebel army, now Although he was defeated by Xun Zhen, after merging with Li Jue's army, there were still more than 10,000 cavalry and cavalry, all of whom were brave warriors in Liangzhou. It has been several years, and up to now, those who have not been able to take Xiangyang have not been able to obtain scholars, and it is not due to the fact that they cannot advance strategies such as industry, etc. The reason is that there is a slight lack of fierce generals and warriors." Therefore, it is suggested that Yuan Shuzheng can borrow it. Guo Sizhi's strength came to fight Liu Biao.

Yang Hong was still opposed at that time, refuting Li Ye, saying: "Guo Si can be called a brave general, but isn't Lu Bu a brave general? Lu Bu was also at the end of his life when he came to join Duke Ming, and Duke Ming treated him very kindly. , but what was the result? Lv Bu was not only ungrateful, but also held grudges against Duke Ming and demanded too much. Although he always asked Duke Ming for food and soldiers, he often did not want to obey Duke Ming's orders. A person like Si who has no courage and does not know what the word "loyalty" is, is like a tiger and a wolf. Before accepting Lu Bu, he was raising a tiger. Now if he accepts Guo Si, he is raising another tiger! I worry that sooner or later he will become a tiger. Another Lv Bu! Until then, not to mention that he will be able to use his strength, I am afraid that he will become Duke Ming's elbow."

Li Ye disagreed and said: "The reason why Lu Bu often does not want to obey the orders of Duke Ming is because he is brave and brave. Although Guo Si's bravery is slightly inferior to that of Lv Bu, he is still enough to compete with Lu Bu, and Guo Si and Lu Bu have hatreds. If the Duke of Ming accepts Guo Si now, he will be able to check and balance Lu Bu. ... Since the long history has used the metaphor of raising tigers, I will also use the metaphor of raising tigers. Duke Ming, if only one tiger is raised, it may cause trouble later on, but What if you raise two tigers? If you make two tigers fight each other and win, don’t you know that it’s okay to be a duke?”

"Guo Si's bravery is slightly inferior to Lv Bu," Li Ye said, and

It is not based on no basis, there is a reason.

After Dong Zhuo's death, when Li Jue and Guo Si used Jia Xu's plan to summon the old troops to attack Chang'an, the defender of the city was Lu Bu. Lü Bu was defending the city, and once in the north of Chang'an, he invited Guo Si "to fight against the army, but to decide the victory or defeat", that is to say, he invited Guo Si to fight him one-on-one to decide the victory or defeat. Guo Si accepted his invitation. In this duel, Guo Si fell short of Lü Bu and was stabbed by Lü Bu with a spear.

But it was also because of this one-on-one duel that Li Yenai said, "Guo Si and Lu Bu have hatred." The two of them do have a grudge. Not only the battle of Chang'an, the two belonged to the offensive and defensive sides, and Guo Si also had a revenge for being stabbed by Lu Bu.

Yang Hong and Li Ye had two different views. Yuan Shu thought that what Li Ye said was very reasonable, so he finally accepted Li Ye's suggestion, and he sent Zhang Xun and others to lead his troops out of Wuguan and welcomed Guo Si to Nanyang. thing.

However, at this time in the court, since Yang Hong originally did not agree with Yuan Shu's acceptance of Guo Si, he heard that Yuan Shu was ordered to hand over this order to Guo Si and the court, so he asked Yuan Shu and said, "The Supreme Being has this order, how dare he dare to do so. Ask Ming Gong, do you want to hand over Guo Si to the court?"

Hearing Yang Hongzhi's question, Yuan Shu said without hesitation, "Xun Zhen told the sage to move his car, and now the sage has arrived, it can be expected that from now on, Xun Zhen will stay in Yingchuan more often, and there will be more people in Yingchuan. Garrison. My Nanyang will be in a situation where both the north and the south are enemies! At this time, it is the time when the tiger soldiers are needed. How can I respond to this edict of the Holy One and send Guo Si to the court? If I send Guo Si away, wouldn't that be my own broken arm, but exactly what Xun Zhen intended?" He snorted, and said, "I see, although this decree was ordered by the sage, it must be Xun Zhen's. What do you mean! He is afraid that after I get Guo Si, I will beat his Yingchuan!"

Yang Hong said: "So, Duke Ming neither intends to meet the decree, nor does he intend to hand over Guo Si under the decree?"

Yuan Shu said, "That's right." He stroked his chin and beard, paused with a contemptuous expression, and then said again, "Say it nicely, honor him as a saint, or say it badly, it's a dog's ear that loses his family! Three or four years. I was first moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, and now from Chang'an to Yingchuan, I can't even keep the capital city, and I can't even look down on the family business of my ancestors, so why call me to see you?"

Opposite Yang Hong sat a shrewd scholar with a round face, small eyes, and sparse beard. This man was Yuan Shu's confidant, Li Ye. Li Ye responded and said, "What Duke Ming said is very true! In four or five years, he moved the capital three times, which is not even as good as the royal family of Zhou. It is true that the Duke's 'dog who lost his family' is true."

"The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty" obviously refers to the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, although the authority of the royal family was also declining, the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could still stay in the capital Luoyang, unlike Liu Xie, who moved the capital many times in a few years. If compared from this aspect, the current Han royal family is indeed not as good as the Zhou royal family.

Yuan Shu and Li Ye's words were full of contempt, Yang Hong frowned slightly, he didn't want to hear Yuan Shu and Li Ye continue to talk about this topic, he coughed lightly, and brought the topic back to Liu Xie's order, saying "It's okay if Duke Ming doesn't want to send Guo Si to Yingchuan, but this is the second time the court has issued an decree to summon Duke Ming. If Duke Ming still doesn't obey the decree, why should he return to the court?"

Yuan Shu said: "You can still follow the words of the reply form above." Instructing Yang Hong, he said, "Deye, you can write this reply form for me."

"Deye" is Yang Hong's word. Yang Hong seemed to have something to say, his eyes flickered several times, and he didn't know how much his mind was moving, but he finally covered it up and agreed.

Yuan Shu spotted Yang Hong

With a hesitant look on his face, he asked him and said, "Why, do you have any objection to me being too lazy to visit the Holy Spirit?"

Yang Hong hurriedly replied: "If you return to Duke Ming, Hong Fei has an objection, it's just..."

Yuan Shu said, "Just what?"

Yang Hong said: "It's just as the Duke of Ming said, now that the imperial court has moved to Yingchuan, and I heard that the court has issued an decree to worship Xun Zhenzhi as the general of chariots and cavalry, and to record the affairs of the book. In Yingchuan, and as the Duke of Ming said, we will send more troops to Yingchuan, and I, Nanyang, will definitely fall into a situation where we are enemies on both sides.

Yuan Shu had been thinking about this issue since he heard that Xun Zhen had persuaded Liu Xie to drive from Chang'an and move to Yingchuan.

He asked Yang Hong in return, and said, "What's your solution to this?"

Yang Hong pondered and said: "Hong stupid, there is no countermeasure." Then he lowered his head and said nothing.

In fact, Yang Hong already has a countermeasure. His countermeasure is to show respect to the court on the one hand, in order to reduce or eliminate Xun Zhen's hostility to Yuan Shu as much as possible, on the other hand, send someone to contact Yuan Shao and reach an alliance with Yuan Shao. Then plan accordingly. But he knew that Yuan Shu would definitely not listen to his opinion, so he simply didn't mention it.

Yuan Shu said, "It turns out that the long history has no countermeasures." Everyone in the advisory hall said, "Who has the countermeasures?"

It was Li Ye again, who responded, "Returning to Duke Ming's words, the industry has already made a plan."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said, "I would like to hear from you."

Li Ye put his hands on his knees, his small eyes were shining, and he talked eloquently, saying: "Xun Zhen welcomes the sage to Xu County, and everything is pending, so he will not have time to take care of it. The foolishness of the industry should take this opportunity to launch an attack. In other words, if it is possible to capture Yingchuan, it would be best, even if not, the young saint ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can also make him terrified and prompt the court officials to advise the court to leave Yingchuan."

Li Ye's strategy, to put it bluntly, is to take advantage of Xun Zhen's attention to settling Liu Xie and the imperial court, to make a surprise attack and take down Yingchuan in one fell swoop is the best result, if not, retreat And secondly, scare away Liu Xie and the ministers of the court from Yingchuan.

Yuan Shu had thought of this tactic, but if he wanted to use this tactic, there was a problem, and that was Xun Zhen.

Although Yuan Shu was arrogant, after several battles with Xun Zhen and Xun Zhen's subordinates, he was now deeply jealous of Xun Zhen.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Although the sage and the court have just arrived in Yingchuan, they may not have time to take care of them. However, they have followed the sage and the court to Yingchuan, but there are still the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses that King Xun Zhenqin sought for thieves! If you send troops to attack, will you be able to win?"

Li Ye smiled, the Zhizhu was in his hand, and he twisted his beard and said: "Ming Gong, how much do you need every day for 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses? Only Yingchuan, even if you add other neighboring counties such as Runan, can't supply it. Yes! According to industry estimates, Xun Zhenzhi will not be able to keep his two or 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yingchuan for a long time. According to industry estimates, as short as ten months, as long as one month, he will definitely keep these soldiers and horses in Yingchuan for long. Most of Ma Zhong will either be transferred back to Yanzhou or Xuzhou. At that time, Duke Ming will send troops to attack Yingchuan, isn't it enough?"

Yuan Shu was still hesitant and said, "Even if Xun Zhen sends most of his troops back to Yanzhou or Xuzhou, but his soldiers are elite and brave, if I attack rashly, the outcome is still in the middle."

Li Ye said: "There is still a plan for the industry, and it is enough to protect the Ming Gong."
