Chapter 359 Angel Cao Yin

"The current situation may not be any good for any further fighting. If Gongsun Zan is willing to withdraw from the army, in the case of Jizhou, as long as we can develop for a few years, it will not be difficult to take Gongsun Zan." After listening to the analysis of the fan, Tian Feng said thoughtfully.

"We want to get this, and Gongsun Zan must also think about it. I'm afraid Gongsun Zan is not so easy to retreat." Listening to Fengji and Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shao's heart was moved for a moment. Although Yuan Shao wanted to destroy Gongsun Zan and dominate Hebei, he only had the strength in his hand. It was not what Yuan Shao could bear to fight with Gongsun Zan. If he could control Jizhou, Yuan Shao believed that his strength would be higher than Gongsun Zan in a few years. Naturally, he would not I'm afraid of Gongsun Zong. Since there is such a safe way, Yuan Shao doesn't want to take risks. It's not easy to let Gongsun Zan give up Jizhou.

"Ha ha, you don't have to worry about this. In today's World War I, Gongsun Zan's 150,000 mercenaries were still defeated in our hands. Now Gongsun Zan's strength has been greatly reduced. I don't think Gongsun Zan used me to continue to fight with us." Seeing that everyone gradually unified their opinions, Feng Ji added.

The next day, Liu Bei came to Yuan Shao's army and talked with Yuan Shao about peace, and the two sides agreed immediately. Just then, a soldier suddenly came in.

"To the lord, there is a special envoy in the court." As soon as the soldier came in, he said to Yuan Shao.

"What kind of court has a special envoy to come, please." Although Yuan Shao did not know how the special envoy of the imperial court would come at this time, with Liu Bei here, Yuan Shao naturally could not neglect the special envoy of the imperial court and asked someone to come in to talk.

In a short time, I saw a soldier leading an eunuch in.

"Cao Yin in the Little Yellow Gate, I've met you." As soon as the eunuch entered the door and saw that there were many people here, he quickly arched his hand and introduced himself to the crowd. His expression was very respectful, and there was no arrogance and domineeringness of the city in the past.

"What is the angel talking about? The angel came thousands of miles away. We should have gone out to welcome him, but everything in front of the army was urgent, but it was neglected." Seeing the politeness of this little yellow door, Yuan Shao also got up and said politely. Although Yuan Shao must pay attention to the court, the superficial effort also needs to be done.

"This must be Yuan Gong. I'm here to congratulate Yuan Gong. Congratulations to Yuan Gong on his promotion to Jizhou Pastoral." When Cao Yin saw Yuan Shao, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"The court has decided to let me be a Jizhou pastoralist?" The fact that Yuan Shao drove Han Fu into Jizhou is already a certainty. However, Yuan Shao knew that Wang Yun was a man who confessed his death. Now that he is in charge of the power of the imperial court, he may not give himself this name. Today, it was a little unexpected to hear Cao Yin's words.

It turned out that after Wang Yun knew that Yuan Shao had entered Jizhou, he decided to push the boat along the water and issued a decree to let Yuan Shao take over the pastoral of Jizhou, intending to make friends with Yuan Shao. At present, the court is going to fight with Li Wei and Guo Yan, and naturally it is necessary to have a good relationship with other princes. What's more, the current court is weak, and the matter of Jizhou is simply out of reach. It can only be done with far and near attack. What's more, the Yuan family is an old minister of the court. In the eyes of Wang Yun, the Yuan family's control of Jizhou is also in a sense, which is also a strengthening of the strength of the court. Wang Yun is relatively relieved about the old Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao's previous crus crusade against Dong Zhuo is a little to let Wang Yun stand up, but Wang Yun I still feel that it is more reassuring that Zhou Jun below is controlled by the scholars, and I am happy to see it.

"So thank you for sending me this good news. I will arrange it immediately to welcome the imperial edict." Hearing the news, Yuan Shao was really encouraged and hurriedly told everyone to prepare for the order.

"Ha ha, the miscellaneous family came all the way. I heard that Jizhou Mu and Lord Gongsun had some conflicts. In fact, everyone can sit down and discuss anything as an official in the same dynasty. Why do you have to use a knife and a gun?" After passing the edict, Cao Yin asked tentatively again. In fact, Cao Yin came to bring two imperial edicts this time, one of which was to promote Yuan Shao to Jizhou Pastoral, and the other to be promoted to Gongsun Zan as Youzhou Pastoral. Wang Yun's plan is very simple. Since the court can't take care of Hebei for a while, it will make a balance in Hebei. At the same time as the promotion of Yuan Shao, he will be promoted to Gongsun Zan to let them contain each other and prevent any of them from becoming bigger and fight against the court. That is to say, Wang Yun hopes that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan will maintain a situation of hostility without the outbreak of a war. Hostility naturally does not want them to cooperate with each other to fight against the imperial court. As for not wanting them to fight, naturally does not want them to destroy another family through war. That's why Cao Yin came up to ask as soon as he finished his business.

"Ha ha, the angel came at the right time. This Liu Bei came to make peace with Gongsun Zan for me. We have agreed on the armistice between the two sides. If there is another angel to reconcile from it, the battle can be stopped, and the people can also breathe. The angel came this time is the blessing of the people of Jizhou." Seeing that Cao Yin intended to persuade peace, Yuan Shao also pushed the boat along the water.

"This is Lord Liu Bei. The adult can get the full entrustment of Lord Gongsun Zan, and I think he is also a credible person around Lord Gongsun." Hearing Yuan Shao introduce Liu Bei, Cao Yin quickly got up to show his goodwill to Liu Bei.

"I met Lord Angel in Liu Bei, the magistrate of Xiapingyuan County." Seeing Cao Yin's question, Liu Bei quickly got up and said respectfully.

"County magistrate?" When Cao Yin heard that Liu Bei came on behalf of Gongsun Zan, he thought he was a great figure. At this time, when he heard that Liu Bei was just a small county magistrate, he was immediately disappointed. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his body stood up and fell back.

"Ha ha, although the official position of Liu County magistrate is not high, he is also deeply trusted by Gongsun Zan, and this person is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and the angel should not be underestimated." Looking at Cao Yin's performance, Yuan Shao smiled secretly, but Yuan Shao knew more clearly about Liu Bei than Cao Yin. He hurriedly continued that although Liu Bei was nothing, Liu Bei's two brothers were still worthy of Yuan Shao's.

"So it is. So it is. Since the county magistrate is a Han clan, why should he stay in this plain to be a county magistrate? Now Dong Zhuo has been killed. The court is the time to use people. Why doesn't the county magistrate Liu go to Chang'an to share his majesty's worries?" After listening to Yuan Shao's introduction, Cao Yin thought that since he is a clan of the Han clan, it is worth his solicitation. Now Wang Yun is in power, but to put it bluntly, there is still a lack of trustworthy real power around the little emperor. Gongsun Zan drove away Liu Yan to occupy Youzhou, and Liu Yan is also a Han clan. Since Liu Bei is a clan relative of the Han clan The relationship between Xin and Gongsun Zan is not much better. As long as Cao Yin can bring Liu Bei to Chang'an, maybe there will be one more powerful figure around the emperor, which is also a good thing for Cao Yin and these eunuchs who have lost power. Although Liu Bei is just a small county magistrate with limited strength, for these eunuchs who are used to being domighty, the meat on the mosquito's legs is also meat, and there is no reason to give up casually.

"Liu Bei is on the plain and doesn't want to share his majesty's worries all the time. After the angel goes back, when I worship the saint, just say that Liu Bei is ready to work for your majesty anytime and anywhere." After listening to Cao Yin's words, although Liu Bei was unwilling to go to Chang'an at this time, what he said was watertight.

"The county magistrate of Liu has this intention, and I believe your majesty will also be very comforted." Cao Yin came all the way to Jizhou and met many local officials. Although these people were polite, Cao Yin could see that these people did not contribute to the court, but although Liu Bei spoke lightly, he seemed to speak sincerely, which made Cao Yin's eyes very appreciate.

"Yuan Gong, since the peace matter has been completed, I won't stay there. It's just a matter of troop withdrawal. Please forgive me for a while." Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Yin was entangled, so he got up and said goodbye.

"Ha ha, County magistrate Liu is leaving, why don't we go together? The miscellaneous family also happened to go to Lord Gongsun's place. Seeing Liu Bei get up, Cao Yin also got up and said.

"Why does the angel have to go to Gongsun Zan?" When he heard that Cao Yin was going to Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao was a little confused.

"Ha ha, I'm dissatisfied with Lord Jizhou Pastor. Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict and promoted Lord Sun Zan to Youzhou Pastoral. The little one is so anxious that he also wants to ask for some rewards." Cao Yin got up and said. There is no intention to hide anything about this matter.

"So that's it. I still have some chores here, so I won't send it." Hearing the news that Gongsun Zan was going to take office as Youzhou Pastoral, Yuan Shao's face looked hard, and his good mood was suddenly destroyed, and he was not even in the mood to send Cao Yin.

"Lord, what does the court mean by doing this?" As soon as Liu Bei and Cao Yin went out, Yan Liang said angrily.

"Well, I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan would be on an equal footing with me one day." Yuan Shao was also not very angry. He thought that when he fought against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was the leader of the allied forces. Gongsun Zan was just a town prince under Yuan Shao. He didn't expect that he would be on an equal footing with himself now. Thinking about Gongsun Zan forced him to flee not long ago, Yuan Shao was full of resentment. Gongsun Zant, sooner or later, I will make you disappear from this world. Yuan Shao pinched his fist and said viciously.

"The lord doesn't have to be in a hurry for a while. Now, although Gongsun Zan has been a herdsman in Youzhou and is on an equal footing with the assist, in fact, it's just that Wang Yun wants to play a balance between the master and Gongsun Zan. As long as the master rests for a few years, with the strength of our Jizhou, he will sooner or later he will be able to destroy Gongsun Zan and unify Hebei, and win the throne at that time. The Central Plains must be invincible and unstoppable. Although this is a little information, Tian Feng has guessed Wang Yun's intention.

"Liu County magistrate, I don't know what do you think of this court?" After leaving Yuan Shao's camp with Liu Bei, Cao Yin came to Liu Bei and asked inadvertently.

"I am a vulgar person in the countryside. How can I understand the major events of the court, and how dare I speculate about the court in front of adults?" After listening to Cao Yin's words, although Liu Bei was surprised, he pretended to be calm on his face, but he was not willing to show his attitude at all.

"Well, today's court is just a superficial scenery. Although Dong Zhuo was ambushed, there are many princes in various places. In fact, the jurisdiction of the imperial court is only a corner of Chang'an. It's really hard to get the Han Dynasty." Seeing that Liu Bei didn't want to speak, Cao Yin said it himself. In fact, where did Liu Bei not think of this? Since Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics, none of the princes from all walks of life want to control the court like Dong Zhuo, but the princes all feel that their strength is not good, and on the other, all things in the court are chaotic. Even if they have a heart, they may not be able to do it. This is also the reason why although Liu Bei talks about benevolence and righteousness and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty all day long, he is unwilling to go through this muddy water. Liu Bei must have strength. This strength is put into the big whirlpool of the imperial court, and I'm afraid he will be called to pieces.

"Although the situation is difficult at present, Wang Yun is very intelligent. Since he can kill Dong Zhuo, he can also turn the tide and rejuvenate me." Although Liu Bei knew that what Cao Yin said was true, he could only persuade him.

"Liu County Ling, in fact, I came to Hebei this time not only to spread the decree, but also has a secret mission, that is, to recruit righteous people from all over the world to serve the imperial court. I think Liu County magistrate is a loyal and righteous man. Why waste a good time in this small plain county? Why don't you follow me back to Chang'an and contribute to the imperial court? At present, the court needs a loyal and righteous man like Liu County magistrate, not to mention that Liu County magistrate is a Han clan, and he is the person your majesty can rely on. Looking at Liu Bei's eyes, Cao Yin said meaningfully.

"In this way, angel, please let me think about it for a few more days. There are still two brothers who also need to discuss this matter together." Cao Yin's words suddenly made Liu Bei's mind suddenly. Since his debut, although Liu Bei has been respected by many people, he has been loyal to famous generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by virtue of his identity as a relative of the Han Dynasty. However, Liu Bei's reputation is still not obvious. Liu Bei knows that he has no power and powerless, and all he can rely on is reputation, but he The identity of a Han family has always been self-contained. It's okay to deceive Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and other fallen heroes. However, it is too difficult to get the recognition of scholars and doctors. If you can give up everything to Chang'an at this time, have a relationship with the emperor, and giltify your Han Dynasty. Then your identity is very different. Compared with the small fight in Hebei, this is much stronger. Liu Bei is moved when he thinks about it, but of course, Liu Bei can't make a decision by himself. He still has to discuss it with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although he knows that the two will not object. But as a brother, it is also proper etiquette to discuss in advance.

"Ha ha ha, your majesty will be very comforted if you can get the support from the Liu county magistrate." Seeing Liu Bei's move, a stone in Cao Yin's heart was also reassuring. Although Wang Yun also intended to let Cao Yin attract all kinds of princes for his own use, from Cao Yin's original intention, Cao Yin hoped to win over the royal family. Since he is the royal family, he will definitely go to the emperor, so that these eunuchs can rise. You should know that although Wang Yun now respects the emperor very much, the emperor must not have a team he can trust. Sometimes he is not very confident in the face of Wang Yun, let alone these eunuchs. This time, he can meet Liu Bei, and he is still a relative of the Han Dynasty. Cao Yin is really happy. Liu Bei is Although the share is a little lower, he is just a county magistrate, but Cao Yin doesn't care about this. Low status is nothing. As long as he is a relative of the Han Dynasty, the status is not casually raised. More importantly, Liu Bei's status is low now, so that he can show that Cao Yin is useful and give Cao Yin a chance to Liu Bei and make Liu Bei Tied to his own warship, and with Liu Bei, Cao Yin believes that his status will be different, at least he doesn't have to worry about living.

"The angel is coming, and Gongsun Zan is far away. Please forgive me." Hearing that a messenger came from Chang'an, Gongsun Zan hurried out to greet him. Although Gongsun Zan was unruly, as a Han minister, his due etiquette was indeed indispensable, otherwise he would be called a rebellion by others. Although his strength is respected these days, a good reputation is also very important.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to ask you, Liu Yan is your superior. Why did you rebel against Liu Yan?" Gongsun Zan took the generals out to greet him, but he didn't expect to ask Cao Yin with a straight face as soon as he met him. Although Gongsun Zong was depressed, he couldn't do it on the surface.

"The angel, the wildness of the foreigner is difficult to tame. Gongsun Zan believes that only by killing him can he be safe for a long time. However, Lord Liu Yan didn't think so, but he had to be kind to the foreigners, allowing the foreigners to develop and grow, so that they could be able to wreck the people of the Han Dynasty. Because of this, his subordinates turned against Lord Zhou Mu and expelled Lord Zhou Mu from Youzhou. He didn't expect that Lord Zhou Mu was killed by others on the way to be defeated. He didn't think that Gongsun Zan was full of regret. Gongsun Zan saluted Cao Yin first, and then said righteously. Although there is regret in the words, there is no sense of loss in the tone.

"Ha ha, Lord Gongsun's idea is really the same as your majesty's, but Lord Gongsun's approach is really too imprude. Although Liu Yan was wrong, after all, he was a respected relative of the Han Dynasty. Even if his majesty saw it today, he needed to give up three points. Lord Gongsun Zan made him die unexpectedly, which really made His Majesty's face ashamed. Cao Yin first gave a down to Gongsun Zan, and then comforted him with a gentle face. The words of concern jumped out.

"Thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor." Hearing these words, Gongsun Zan quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed with the generals, looking very grateful to the emperor.

"Gongsun Zan received the order: Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's edict said: Gongsun Zan has been garrisoning the border for the Han Dynasty for many years and protecting the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty. I know that he is brave. I hope he will continue to guard one side for my Han Dynasty and deter the foreign people. It is the dragon power of the Han Dynasty. He specially promoted Gongsun Zan as the herdsman of Youzhou and is in charge of Youzhou affairs. I admire this." Seeing Gongsun Zan's grateful face, Cao Yin took out an apricot yellow imperial edict and read it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Gongsun Zan will do his best to protect Youzhou for your majesty." After hearing the imperial edict, Gongsun Zong said happily in his heart.

Originally, Gongsun Zan drove away Liu Yan, the herdsman of Youzhou. Gongsun Zan knew that the messenger of the court was coming and thought that the court was going to scold him, but Gongsun Zan understood that now the court is weak, so he can only scold himself. He doesn't care. He just wants to make a look of regret. Now Gongsun Zan must After losing the war, he also lost a lot of arrogance. However, when he learned that the court had appointed him as the herdsman of Youzhou, he was still happy. It seemed that he still valued himself very much.
