Chapter 43 Cao Liu Sunnan discusses Yuan Shu Liu Xie and Yuan Shaoshuang as emperor (10
When Yang Hong heard that Yuan Shu was going to join Nanye, he really felt that he hated that he could not become steel. Now Yang Hong carefully recalls the process of Yuan Shu from his claim to the throne to his defeat, and Nan Ye has played a key role in it. Although without Nanye, Yuan Shu has the same ambition to be emperor, it will never be so smooth.
Yang Hong felt that the terrible thing about Nan Ye was that what he did at that time seemed to be entirely for Yuan Shu's sake. For example, Yang Hong also agreed to let Yuan Shu welcome the emperor Liu Xie. However, it was later found that these good things had become bad things when they came to Yuan Shu. Yang Hong still couldn't find any evidence that Nan Ye framed Yuan Shu. This made Yang Hong feel that Mage Nanye was really manipulating Yuan Shu's fate like an uncertain god.
At this time, Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was still not awake and hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty! Nanye hides evil intentions and is by no means a good person. At the beginning, he advised His Majesty to be the emperor, but today's failure. His Majesty should not trust him.
Yuan Shu frowned and said, "How can the mage be blamed for this? At the beginning, the mage also said that I needed something to be an emperor, and also said that the opportunity could not be revealed. Maybe it's because I'm wrong and in a hurry that I have today's loss. How can I blame the mage? Today, I will go to the same, and the mage may be able to help me return to Shouchun.
When Yang Hong saw that Yuan Shu was still dreaming at this time, he was speechless. It's just that there is no evidence that Nan Ye framed Yuan Shu, let alone that Nan Ye, Sun Ce and Cao Cao, raised an army to fight against Yuan Shu. I can only change my mind and advise: "If you go south to Jiaozhou, you must pass through Jing and Yang. Liubiao and Sun Ce all have a grudge against your majesty. Isn't this a trap? What's more, Nan Ye has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. After several rescues, he may not be kind to your majesty.
Yuan Shu just didn't expect that Nanye felt desperate. At this time, he remembered that Nan Ye had said that he had a destiny and once called himself His Majesty, and suddenly felt hope again. Then he said, "The mage once said that I am the true son of heaven. If I join the mage, I don't have to give up the throne, and I can also let the mage be loyal to me. The mage has rescued several times, and now I am the son of heaven, and the mage should be rescued. At that time, I will seal the mage as a king with different surnames, and I will be in charge of the world with me. If I don't believe it, the mage will not obey.
Yang Hong didn't expect that Yuan Shu would not give up his emperor's dream at this time, and suddenly felt that he had followed the wrong person. But the loyal minister didn't matter to the two masters. Although Yang Hong was helpless, there was nothing he could do.
Zhang Xun hopes that Yuan Shu's plan can be completed, because as long as Yuan Shu is the emperor, he is a great general with the merit of dragon, and he will always go to Yuan Shao to recruit people. At this time, the key lies in whether the prophet's mage Nanye really thinks that Yuan Shu is the true son and will assist him to ascend the throne as emperor. If so, then Jing and Yangzhou will have to break through the Longtan Tiger's den. But if it's fake, it's looking for a dead end.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xun said, "It's getting late today. Your Majesty might as well camp in the forest first. The last general went south to explore the news. If the checkpoint is easy, I won't be late to go south to avoid finding my own way to death.
Yuan Shu agreed with Zhang Xun's proposition. At this time, although Yuan Shao in Beitou was safe all the way, the end was desolate. Although Nantou Jiaozhou is risky, it may win the throne. This is really a combination of risks and opportunities, which makes it difficult for Yuan Shu to choose. What he hopes most is for Zhang Xun to tell him that the South Road is safe.
Zhang Xun got the order of Yuan Shu, so he led several soldiers south and returned to Xia Pi overnight. The closer he approached Xia Pi, the more careful Zhang Xun was, specializing in forest paths to avoid being discovered by Cao Cao. When he approached Pi, Zhang Xun simply ordered him to disemble his horse and enter. He dared not make a sound and walked in the dense forest.
As he was marching, Zhang Xun heard someone snoring in the dense forest, and the movement was not small. Zhang Xun led people to check carefully and saw several soldiers sleeping in the forest, all wearing Yuan military armor.
Zhang Xun led people to surround several sleeping soldiers and woke them up. As soon as the soldiers woke up, they knelt down and begged for mercy and said, "I'm waiting to surrender!" General, spare your life!"
The soldier's plea for mercy almost crooked Zhang Xun's nose, thinking why his soldiers were so cowardly. No wonder he would lose this battle. However, this is not the time to complain about these soldiers. Even Yuan Shu intends to vote for Yuan Shao. What can these soldiers do?
Zhang Xun suppressed his anger and said, "I am General Zhang Xun. Who are you? Why do you rest here?"
Several sleeping confused Yuan Shushimen looked up and saw that it was indeed their own generals, and they all felt a little embarrassed and blushed. One of them said, "We are soldiers under General Lei Bo. After the general died in battle, we escaped from the city to hide here."
Zhang Xun asked, "Since you are waiting to escape, why don't you escape?"
The soldier blushed and said, "To tell the truth, the general, we have no food, no money, and nowhere to go. Even if we run away, we will starve to death halfway. That's why I'm here to explore the movement in the city, hoping that Your Majesty can win and throw himself into the city again.
How can Zhang Xun not know the thoughts of these deserters after leading the army for many years? They said that they were waiting for Yuan Shu to win. In fact, no matter who wins, they will enter the city and surrender. Fortunately, they will fight for their lives in this troubled world. However, at this time, it was not the time to delve into these. Zhang Xun asked, "Since you are here to inquire about the news, do you know how the people in the city are doing?"
The soldier heard Zhang Xun ask the truthful report: "I returned to General Zhang, after Cao's army entered the city, Master Guanghua also led the army into the city. Later, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses arrived again and also went into the city." After saying that, the soldier looked at several people beside Zhang Xun and said, "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult for these people to take back the city."
Zhang Xun heard that Nan Ye entered the city with Cao Cao and Sun Ce, and his brain buzzed. He came here to inquire about the news. Where did he come to seize the city? Zhang Xun grabbed the soldier and said, "Can you see that it is the people of Mu Nanye in Jiaozhou who entered the city?"
The soldier was shocked to see Zhang Xun's eyes and stammed, "Look... I see clearly. The general asked these robes if he didn't believe it.
Several soldiers sleeping in the forest nodded one after another. It turned out that although Nan Ye did not participate in Cao Cao's siege because he didn't want to meet Yuan Shu, he did not deliberately hide his flag, but camped far away so that the city could not see clearly. Naturally, the soldiers guarding the city could not see Nanye's camp across Cao Cao's camp, but these soldiers who escaped from the city looked into the city from outside the city. The first thing they saw was Nanye's camp. Naturally, they knew that Nanye followed Cao into the city.
Zhang Xun asked several soldiers to make sure that the news was true, and his heart was cold. As Yang Hong said, the truth is not as beautiful as Yuan Shu imagined. Since Nanye is with Cao Cao and Sun Ce, there is no need to explore the way south. Zhang Xun immediately took several soldiers back to Yuan Shu's hiding place overnight.
When Yuan Shu learned that Nan Ye and Cao Cao attacked him together, he was immediately angry and scolded Nan Ye's shameless villain. At this time, he didn't dare to report any more fantasy about Nan Ye, so he could only choose to take the jade seal and lead the disabled soldier to Yuan Shao to the north.
Yuan Shao has been fighting with Gongsun Zan in the north. Since winning the battle of Baoqiu, Yuan Shao has occupied most of Gongsun Zan's territory.
Gongsun Zan's land in Youzhou was obtained from Liu Yu. Liu Yu's subordinates were engaged in Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and other generals who led Youzhou's defeated soldiers to escape to Yandi after the defeat. When they learned that Yanrou had kindness, they elected Yan Rou as Wuwan Sima and wanted to avenge Liu Yu. Yan Rou led the crowd to gather Xianbei, Wuwan and other soldiers, and gained tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers. Taking advantage of the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, he entered Yuyang, defeated Gongsun Zan's army in the north of the Lu River, and killed Zou Dan, the governor of Yuyang.
Gongsun Zhan, who lost the battle on both sides, built a siege and built a building ten feet high, called Yijing Tower. He also dug more than ten heavy trenches in the Yi River, piled up earth mounds up to five or six feet high in the trenches, and built camps on the hills to guard them.
Gongsun Zan lived in Yijing Building, took iron as the gate, and scolded him left and right, so that men over seven years old were not allowed to enter. He only lived in it with his wife and concubines, and hoarded three million grains. The soldiers outside the building fought with Yuan Shao, and some besieged people asked Gongsun Zan to rescue him. Gongsun Zan said, "If one person is saved, and the later warriors are only waiting for rescue and will not fight to the death." So he refused to rescue. Therefore, Yuan Shao's soldiers came, and many of them surrendered, and the literary ministers and military generals gradually became estranged.
Gongsun Zang, who was difficult to support alone, was trapped for a long time and knew that it was not a way to go on like this, so he sent his son Gongsun to Liaodong to ask for help. Although Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du have the same surname, they are not related by blood. Gongsun Zan just persuaded him to come to help.
How can Yuan Shaobing's encirclement of Yijing make Gongsun continue easily break out of the siege? Gongsun was caught by Yuan Shao halfway. Yuan Shao, who got Gongsun Zan's letter of asking for help, made a plan and forged the reply. He asked Gongsun Zan to raise the fire in the middle of the night and break the enemy inside and outside.
Gongsun Zan got a reply and waited for a fire outside the city. As a result, Yuan Shao himself set fire outside the city to lure the enemy. When Gongsun Zan went to war, he ambushed troops, killed most of Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses, and retreated to the city.
Yuan Shao ordered people to dig the tunnel and go straight to Yijing downstairs to set fire. Gongsun Zang knew that he was still hopeless. He killed his wife and daughter first, and then killed himself. The whole family was burned by fire.
Yuan Shao, who returned from a great victory, returned to Ye City, and Yuan Shu came to offer the jade seal to cede the throne to Yuan Shao. Looking at his younger brother Yuan Shu standing under the steps with Yuxi bowed and there were only two attendants beside him, Yuan Shao was not so happy.
From childhood to his age, Yuan Shu has always looked down on Yuan Shao because he was the direct one, and Yuan Shao did not bow his head to Yuan Shao. Even after Yuan Shao became the leader of the princes, Yuan Shu was not soft and later opposed to Yuan Shao. Today, Yuan Shu finally lowered his arrogant head and offered the throne of jade seal. How could Yuan Shao not be happy? I'm afraid that the submission of any enemy is not as good as Yuan Shu's submission in front of him to make Yuan Shao feel happy.
Yuan Shao knew that as a winner, he had to have the victor's temperament. In front of the public, he did not sarcastically say a few words of Yuan Shu. However, the unbearable smile at the corners of his mouth betrayed him, and Yuan Shu's heart was extremely painful but helpless.
After Yuan Shu presented the jade seal and Zen edict to the lower hall, the Chinese martial arts of the palace began to discuss whether Yuan Shao would accept Zen to ascend the throne as emperor. At this time, Yuan Shao had already occupied the land of Ji, Qing, You and the four states, and was regarded as the first prince in the world. Therefore, there are many people who persuade Yuan Shao to be emperor.
Yuan Shao is calmer than Yuan Shu, and he is a little hesitant to learn from Yuan Shu. Just as everyone was discussing Zhenghuan, there was a detailed report. Cao Cao supported the restoration of Emperor Liu Xie and Xuchang, and made himself Prime Minister, Master Nanye as the general of the National Division, Liu Bei as General Zuo, and Sun Ce as General. As soon as Yuan Shao heard that Cao and Nan Ye were extremely military ministers, the strongest princes in the world were anxious at that time. After taking Yuan Shuchan, he asked the imperial edict to ascend the throne and changed the name of the country to "Ye".
