Three Kingdoms

"Bang!" Yuan Shao hit the table with his palm, looking unhappy. Yuan Shao has become very angry recently for some unknown reason, and his temper has gradually lost its original kindness. In other words, he was originally at a low stage in life, so his temper naturally had to be kinder, but now he naturally does not need to cover it up. Himself, or perhaps he has wronged himself.

All clay figures have a certain amount of anger.

When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang before, he was suppressed by Yuan Wei and Yuan Shu and had to stay low. But now, in the land of Jizhou, he has spoken and followed the law. Over time, of course, his own momentum has gradually increased. Enhanced, no longer looking at people's faces like before.

Guo Tu was by Yuan Shao's side at this time. When he saw Yuan Shao was angry, he neither asked nor comforted him. He just lowered his head and began to deal with his business in silence, looking attentive.

When leaders get angry, unless necessary, they actually try to comfort or add fuel to the fire. In fact, neither approach is very good. Although Guo Tu may not be as scheming as Ju Shou and Feng Ji in terms of strategy, his political sensitivity is much better than both of them, so naturally he will not make such mistakes easily.

If you rush to comfort, will the words you want to say be meaningful? One aspect is one aspect, and another very important point is whether the leader will think that your words of comfort are anything special with the person who made him angry. trade? In addition, if the words of comfort are not used properly, they can easily form false and empty clichés. After all, a person in a superior position needs a person in a lower position to tell him these truths?

By adding fuel to the flames, you may be able to achieve certain goals and profit from it. However, if the person in power is not a complete fool, then when the person in power calms down, these benefits may be returned in double...

Yuan Shao himself hummed for a while, then saw Guo Tu being silent, closed his eyes, calmed down a little, and said: "Gongze, let's take a look at this..."

Yuan Shao handed Guo Tu the latest piece of information on hand.

Guo Tu glanced up and down to finish reading, then pinched his beard and frowned.

Yuan Shao first glanced at Guo Tu, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Gongze, tell me your opinion on this matter..."

Guo Tu cupped his hands and said: "It is unnecessary for Marquis Wen to do this... However, since we have already seen suspicion, it is useless to keep him. Although he is so rude and deserves to be punished, after all, he has done something good in defeating Heishan, so the two cancel each other out, so let him go." That’s it…”

Of course the information was about Lu Bu. Lu Bu took his men and horses and took away all the food and grass in the camp without saying anything. According to the military commander in the camp, a so-called assassination occurred in the camp at that time...

The reason why Lu Bu left was of course because he didn't trust Yuan Shao and believed that Yuan Shao was the mastermind behind this so-called assassination incident, so he left without even saying a word.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he looked at Guo Tu and said, "You are smart, why don't you mention the people behind this matter?" Yuan Shao was angry not entirely because of Lu Bu. For him, it was certainly heartbreaking to lose a rare cavalry general. But those who do little things behind the scenes are even more hateful!

It was Ju Yi before, and now it's Lu Bu. If this continues, how many more generals under his command will he lose? How many more times will this happen?

"What Duke Ming said was Wang, Liu and Li?" Guo Tu asked with a slight smile.

Yuan Shao nodded, shook his head, and said: "It's these three people, but it's not these three people..." Naturally, some Jizhou nobles attached themselves to support him, so naturally there were also some who were outside, and some who supported Han. Fu's, dissatisfied because Yuan Shao killed Han Fu. Yuan Shao meant this wave of Jizhou nobles who opposed him, not just Wang, Liu, and Li.

"Killing these three people, Yi Er... made Shuzi famous... Ming Gong should not be willing to accept his wishes like this..." Although these Jizhou nobles did such a thing, Guo Tu did not recommend killing people to solve the problem. question.

Just like the saying in later generations, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. It is impossible to completely solve the problem by killing people, regardless of ancient or modern times.

The situation of killing so-and-so and so-and-so was not only found in the revolutionary period of later generations. The Qin Dynasty burned books and killed a number of people, but the Confucianists became stronger and stronger as they were killed. The Legalists of the Han Dynasty were killed. Batch, Huang Laojia and others were expelled from the court, but they still enjoyed a high reputation among the people.

What Guo Tu pursues and likes is mutual political transactions, mutual compromise, and fighting will only intensify the contradictions. It is not suitable for Yuan Shao's development in Jizhou, and naturally it is not suitable for him, a Yingchuan native, to be among them. Play a role. It's good to have conflicts. If there are no conflicts among the Jizhou nobles and they all support Yuan Shao wholeheartedly, then what are they going to do with the Yingchuan people?

"Humph!" Although Guo Tu said that it was indeed the case, Yuan Shao was still angry and couldn't bear it, so he said, "...We can't just let it go!"

Guo Tu nodded and said with a smile: "It's natural... If Mr. Ming takes action, it will inevitably make people talk... If Mr. Ming is interested... It is said that Mr. Ming's heir is already in his late teens. I wonder if he will get married?"

Yuan Shao frowned and said: "The public principle means marriage? This... a certain eldest son has married a daughter of the Nanyang Wen family, and the second son is younger, but has not yet been married..."

Guo Tu put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "That's good! Son of Ming Gong, such a major marriage matter should not be taken lightly. If the matter is spread out, it will happen naturally... The only concern of the people in Jizhou is that Ming Gong cannot marry him. If I treat you kindly, I will marry you. Firstly, Minggong can get a good wife, and secondly, he can also win the hearts of people in Jizhou... Thirdly, there is no need for Minggong to deal with these mere thieves, and someone will come forward to deal with them... ...Such a thing that achieves three birds with one stone, what if the public will is clear?"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelids, rolled his eyes a few times, then smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Gongze is really wise, this strategy is excellent, excellent!"

Guo Tu nodded, twirled his beard, and then said: "It is Tu's duty to share the worries of Ming Gong. If Ming Gong thinks it is feasible, how about letting someone handle the matter?" Of course, arranging a wedding is not a matter of course. Among the people, that is a tiring thing, but for a person of Yuan Shao's status, it is still a bit tiring, but the benefits are also quite attractive.

Yuan Shao also understood, but since Guo Tu came up with such an idea, he should be rewarded, so he smiled and said: "Okay! I'll just bother you!"

Guo Tugong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty! The people of Jizhou will have nothing to worry about!"

The reason is simple, but not everyone may understand it at the end of the day. Guo Tu's strategy is nothing more than to recruit a group of people to defeat a group of people. When there is an external threat, the Jizhou nobles will definitely hug each other to warm themselves together. But with interests at hand, those who used to warm each other will naturally become enemies...

…………………………

At first they were staying together to keep warm, but later they became enemies. This kind of thing happens not only in Jizhou, but all over the world. Even Feiqian here seems to be unable to avoid it.

At the foot of the Yin Mountain in Chilechuan, you can see cattle and sheep in the wind-swept meadows. Although this is not the case now, it is certain that such a scene will appear in the near future.

Fei Qian chose a small high ground and sat on the ground, surrounded by cloth curtains on three sides. Flags were placed all around, and his own soldiers were guarding him to watch for any movement around him.

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo has arrived..." Huang Xu received the summons and reported to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian nodded, stood up, walked to the gap in the curtain, smiled slightly, and watched Yuvrou walking forward.

When Yuvluo saw Fei Qian, he touched his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "General, I haven't seen you for a long time..."

"Haha, Shan Yu's style is still the same..." Fei Qian also said a few polite words, and then invited Yu Fulo to sit under the curtain with him.

After the two had a few drinks, Fei Qian put down his cup, looked at the endless prairie in front of him, and said with emotion: "Such a scenery is really a gift from God!"

Yuvluo also agreed, smiling and looking into the distance with Fei Qian, and said: "Yes, such a rich and beautiful place is the greatest blessing of Changshengtian..."

Immortality?

Fei Qian glanced at Humphrey quickly, then calmly picked up the wine bowl and offered a drink to Humphrey. According to etiquette standards, with Fei Qian's status and inviting Humphrey, it is natural to use the wine baron to be more formal, but after all, he came with the army, and wooden bowls are relatively common, and for Fei Qian In fact, in terms of these details, they are not as serious as the natives of the Han Dynasty, and the preparations are a bit casual, and people use wooden bowls to deal with them.

"Everything in the army is kept simple, and this wine... is just average, which made Shan Yu laugh..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "...but, I and Shan Yu are old friends. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I also miss you very much, so although the drinks are light, the friendship between you and me is deeper..."

Yuvluo laughed heartily, stroked his chest and saluted again, and said: "Exactly! What the general said is exactly what the little king is thinking..."

In fact, Yuvluo is considered a relatively pro-Han Hu. Perhaps it was because under the influence of his father, he was more attracted to the culture of the Central Plains, and after cooperating with Fei Qian many times, they also had some influence and contact with each other. Therefore, for Yu Fulo, Fei Qian Still think it can be used.

This meeting was not just about drinking with Huvroud. Naturally, it also required some medicine, but naturally this medicine could not be in the wine...

"The war is difficult... Shanyu, a few days ago, a certain uncle's son came to Pingyang because of the chaos in Guanzhong..." Fei Qian seemed to be chatting casually, and then brought up this topic, "... A certain uncle My uncle also died at the hands of thieves because of Xiliang soldiers... Now the Fei family has withered..." Some time ago, Fei Qian's uncle Feimin's family, who had fled all the way, was also sent by the Hedong Wangyi. Escorted to Pingyang.

There is probably an inexplicable connection between the nobles. This relationship is very strange, like a huge loose group. Although they may have never been similar or have any connection, as long as they are people in this circle, Just look at Sanfen's face to some extent.

Wang Yi and Fei Min had never had much friendship, but one was looking at Fei Qian's face, and the other was a default rule among noble families, so when they learned that they were Fei Min's widow and children, they also Take extra care of me and deliver it safely all the way.

The so-called "Fighting the Autumn Wind" in later generations probably originated from this, but later it expanded from the small circle of the gentry to all scholars, and the intensity of mutual help became much thinner.

"Your wife, I will support her."

Such words were not as dirty as in later generations, but were actually a very noble behavior in the Han Dynasty. When a family, or even a family's pillar, falls, someone steps forward and takes on the responsibility of raising the family. This is undoubtedly the greatest kindness for a family or family that is about to face hardship.

Feimin died. It is not known whether he was among the rebels or was killed by Li Jue to vent his anger. However, Feimin had two children, one was just a weakling and the other was underage. Fei Qian asked people to kill Feimin. It is considered appropriate for it to be placed in the Shoushan Academy. As for some of Fei Min's other relatives, Fei Qian was not familiar with them, so naturally he couldn't care about them.

"This..." Yufro couldn't say anything about this matter. Fei Min didn't recognize anyone. He just heard Fei Qian mention it and couldn't ignore it completely. He could only say it perfunctorily, "...Well, alas, it is inevitable in a war, and the general also has to express his condolences..."

Fei Qian nodded, indicating that he accepted Yu Fuluo's kindness, and then said: "... Soldiers like you and I are on the battlefield and are in danger of life and death at any time... Although a certain uncle unfortunately died, but I still have two children left, and after a few years, I can inherit the family business again... By the way, Shanyu, do you have any children? I haven't heard you mention it..."

Yufro laughed loudly, looking a little proud. He looked at Fei Qian and said, "Xiao Wang now has five children, two boys and three girls, and one more will be born at the end of this year..."

The Huns also like to spread their branches and leaves. Strictly speaking, in this era of extremely low productivity, only sufficient manpower can do many things, whether it is fighting or producing. Only after the later generations were gradually replaced by machines, did the value of the population gradually decrease. Of course, it decreased to a certain extent, resulting in the negative impact of negative population growth, which in turn increased the value of the population...

When Yuvrou said this, it was inevitable that he would be a bit boastful. Compared with fighting, this is not very comparable to Fei Qian, but at least in terms of heirs, Yuvluo is now a complete crushing victory. Although this victory does not actually bring any substantial benefits, it is at least a victory, right?

Fei Qian nodded, chuckled, and said: "...Ah, in this case, Shanyu is very lucky...Well, I am more in danger now. Someone made suggestions to me two days ago, and they also asked me to pay attention. The issue of heirs, otherwise there is really no chance, there will not even be an heir... By the way, Shanyu, your children should all be like you, smart and brave. Have you chosen any one as the heir of Shanyu? ?”

"Heir?" Yuvrou blinked and said thoughtfully.

Fei Qian picked up the wine bowl, looked at the ripples from the wine in the bowl, and said, "Yes, of course, let your children be the heirs. Otherwise, would you give up the land that you worked so hard to acquire?" Give it to others? Shanyu, do you think so?"
