Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 341 Yuan is suspicious (two in one)

Zhang Yan eventually joined Yang Feng in Hongnong and entered Guanzhong with the title of General of the Expedition to the West and 20 households of Huangtian people!
In terms of quantity, the number of "immigrants" brought by Zhang Yan exceeds the remaining population of Guanzhong!

Of course, the Huangtian people brought by Zhang Yan have an average of only four people per household, which is significantly lower than the five people in the Central Plains. Because of long-term displacement, the number of elderly people can be imagined... very few.

After accepting Sima Yi's advice, Huang Tian's people dispersed much slower. Although there were still a few people who lost contact, Zhang Yan didn't pay much attention to it and just regarded it as being incited to rebel.

On the contrary, after Sima Yi read the information Zhang Yan gave him, the map of this road and the routes of each department emerged in his mind. After comprehensive analysis... he felt slightly refreshed about the missing part!

"Little sir, you don't have to look anymore. You have made a great contribution to our being able to enter Guanzhong this time! Come on, Yu Du, you can carry little sir with you and let's have a drink!" Zhang Yan interrupted Sima Yi's thinking with a big wave of his hand.

"I'm not feeling well. Drinking is still..." Sima Yi's mouth trembled and he cursed secretly: I am Feng Bi, Feng Bi!Want me to drink?Are you afraid I won't die?

"That's wrong! As the saying goes, if Feng Bi drinks alcohol, he can get out of bed and walk! Hahaha, if you drink today, you may be cured tomorrow! Come on, come on, lift the little gentleman up!" Zhang After Yan patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, he couldn't help but ask someone to take him to the banquet.

Sima Yi: ...

In Hanoi County, Huai Nei County adjacent to Yanzhou, the "Yellow Turban Army" led by Qu Yi is already lurking here!

That's right, it was very "happy" to use the connections between Zhang Yan's ministries, and when Cao Cao was negligent about the Black Mountain Army, Qu Yi and Li Daitao had already followed him in a large circle from Hebei as a member of the Black Mountain Remaining Party, and now it's about to Touch Xinzheng, Xinzheng is only a hundred miles away from Xuchang...!
Because the Montenegrin Army was not expected to attack the city by force, the Prime Minister's Office also neglected to guard against the crossing of the Montenegrin Army. As a result, Qu Yi's actions were not noticed, and Xinzheng was the Prime Minister's Office's baseline in the west.

"General Tao, we are going to attack Xinzheng tomorrow, and you will need the lives of your Yellow Turban Army... After that, it's no problem to make your wife a wife!" Xu You said to Tao Sheng.

Tao Sheng, a guy whose name suggests a strong "desire for survival", was also the Commander-in-Chief of the Montenegrin Army not long ago.

He was originally a minor official in Wei County and Neihuang County. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he also followed the rebellion with a big banner. Later, he joined Zhang Niujiao's Black Mountain Alliance and became one of the commanders of the Black Mountain Army.

In history without the White Rabbit Effect, shortly before Lu Bu was expelled from Yanzhou, it was the time when the Black Mountain Army was at its most prosperous. Together with the rebels from Wei County, they exploded the base camp of Yuan Shao who had just occupied Jizhou - and captured Ye City!

Of course, it was only a short-term breakthrough and failed to occupy it. Yuan Shao quickly turned around and beat him up. At the same time, when Lu Bu first left Yanzhou, he briefly stayed under Yuan Shao's command. At that time, Lu Bu also played a big role in defeating the Black Mountain Army. .

During this period... Tao Sheng of the Black Mountain Army was very eager to survive. After destroying Ye City, he rebelled and protected Yuan's family from escaping. After Yuan Shao fought back, Tao Sheng not only successfully cleared his name, but was also named the General Jianyi Zhonglang.

However, according to Bai Tu's understanding, in the Chengji world, the Black Mountain Army did not perform such a heroic performance, and he does not know where he pierced his ears to cause the storm... It is believed that Bai Tu had just crossed over at that time, and the impact was very small. I don’t know how it changed the situation in Jizhou.

It's just that Tao Sheng is still the same Tao Sheng. After Qu Yi expressed goodwill to him on behalf of Yuan Shao, he immediately began to cooperate with Qu Yi's actions!

Qu Yi was previously defeated by Zhao Yun in Nanyang with a mandarin duck formation. When Tongbai Mountain was defeated, he barely escaped with the remaining hundreds of Euphorbia warriors.

However, when he returned to Hebei, Yuan Shao had been defeated in Baima, and he was so furious that he became bedridden in Yecheng...

The situation in Yecheng is also very "delicate" now.

Originally, when Yuan Shao was on the southern expedition, the base camp of Yecheng was left to Feng Ji. From this selection, it can be seen that Yuan Shao was biased towards Yuan Shang at that time.

Before Yuan Shao's southern expedition, the counselors under his command were Tian Feng, Xu You, Jusue, Fengji, Shenpei, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping. Among them, Tian Feng, Xu You, and Jushou did not have an obvious side. He is an upright gentleman with a strong and upright character, and he disdains doing such things. However, because he is a gentleman, he naturally supports his eldest son. Xu You considers himself an old friend of Yuan Shao, and both Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are his sons and nephews. Jushou He is also an honest person.

However, Feng Ji and Shen Pei were both from Yuan Shang's school, and Guo Tu and Xin Ping were both from Yuan Tan's school...

Historically, Yuan Shao entrusted Ye City to Shen Pei, but "this time" he entrusted it to Feng Ji - they were all Yuan Shang's people!
Therefore, in history, after Yuan Shao died in the Battle of Guandu, although Yuan Shang was the youngest son, he naturally became the first heir. Yuan Tan initially had to rely on Yuan Shang because most of Qingzhou was lost.

In the history books, it is generally believed that Yuan Shang was forced to succeed because of the lack of discipline and due diligence. After all, Yuan Shao died too hastily, and it was not clear who was the heir before. Moreover, Yuan Shao, who had the power to dominate the world at that time, did not I would have thought that my "heir" would be able to use it so soon...

It is said that Yuan Tan's status as the eldest son has not been abolished. It is just that he was worried about Guo Tu and Xin Ping being at odds with him and was worried about being settled by the queen, so he forced Yuan Shang.

After all, Yecheng is guarded by the judges, and Yuan Tan's hometown Qingzhou has been lost...

However, now Yuan Shao is not dead, but Yuan Shang is dead. Shen Pei and Feng Ji are also very upset at this time, but Guo Tu and Xin Ping are "happy".

The latter is still a little bit more restrained and still has a headache with Cao Cao, but Guo Tu has unilaterally declared "victory" - it doesn't matter if he loses at the front, at least the "behind" will win a big victory!
As for Tian Feng, Xu You, and Jushou, these three were once Yuan Shao's real core staff, but their fates were different at this time.

Before the war, the three of them each "sold" their general policies to Yuan Shao. Tian Feng believed that they should not rush to war, but should take advantage of Hebei's vast land and resources to gather strength and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to cause chaos on their own!
Tian Feng believes that the power of Qingjiyou to merge the four states is already stronger than the three states of Yan, Yu, and Xu, and the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not last long. As long as it is delayed, Yuan Shao will be victorious.

This idea coincides with that of Cao Cao's staff. Indeed, the advisers of the Prime Minister's Office also tend to prefer to fight late rather than early. The longer the delay, the greater the gap in the score...

Both Ju Shou and Xu You were hawks, but the former believed that the Central Plains should be gradually disintegrated through "cannibalization tactics", while the latter suggested that Yuan Shao hold off Liu Bei in Qingzhou, and then the army would go all the way to Xudu and cooperate with partial divisions to attack.

Yuan Shao finally made the decision to attack head-on, but tactically, he did not adopt the suggestions of Ju Shou and Xu You...

Guo Tu presented the tactic of suppressing the army at the right time and accomplishing his merits in one battle, which was well received by Yuan Shao.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao raised so many counselors but always came up with bad ideas-in essence, Yuan Shao just followed his inner "calling", and whoever said it best suited him would accept the advice!
The operating mechanism of the core of Yuan Shao's staff has always been "the lord is good at accepting advice when there is consensus" and "the lord is arbitrary when there are disagreements"... Simply because he has enough advisers and a clever little guy like Guo Tu, he can maintain it. A character who is "good at accepting advice".

Xu You and others had already adapted to it, but Tian Feng accepted death and was imprisoned by Yuan Shao after some confrontation!

Yuan Shao is not generous, he just likes to be generous. If Yuan Shao triumphs now, he will definitely let Tian Feng go, and even pat him on the shoulder and say something like "I like people like you who dare to talk back" and "Keep up the good work in the future." , "Don't be afraid of saying something wrong, it's normal for you to be less wise than me."

However, after losing the battle, Yuan Shao felt awkward!
Historically, Feng Ji Jin slandered Tian Feng and said that after hearing the news of the defeat, Tian Feng laughed so hard in prison that he almost died...

When Yuan Shao found out, he ordered him to be beheaded while he was in bed.

But now the situation is different. Originally, Tian Feng was framed because Tian Feng was too stubborn. Although he did not take sides, he always regarded himself as a gentleman. He and Shen Pei wanted Yuan Shang, who was not the eldest son, to succeed to the throne. They did not want Tian Feng to succeed. Impeding release from prison.

However, now that Yuan Shang is dead, Feng Ji and Shen Pei are in panic all day long. Naturally, they do not dare to offend Tian Feng again, and even say a few nice words.

Although Yuan Shao didn't want to see Tian Feng and always felt that this guy was laughing at him, he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he sent Tian Feng to western Liaoning to stop Gongsun Du - seeing that he had lost the battle, he had gained a new group of soldiers. A. Gongsun Du wanted to cross the eastern part of western Liaoning and enter the western part of western Liaoning.

Similarly, Yuan Shao didn't really want to see Ju Shou and Xu You. After all, he didn't adopt their opinions on tactics and ended up losing.

Tian Feng's ridicule was imagined by Yuan Shao, but Xu You's ridicule was genuine!
Jushou was an honest man, but as Yuan Shao's body collapsed, his mind became increasingly unclear, and he became more and more embarrassed.

I am more willing to listen to Guo Tubaba every day, his words are nice and always so agreeable...

And Guo Tu not only writes "happiness" on his face every day, but also instigates Yuan Tan to liquidate Feng Ji and Shen Pei who support Yuan Shang!
Xu You usually regarded Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan as his "eldest nephews" and never stood in the team. However, when he was marching south with the army, something happened that made him extremely unhappy.

That is in Yecheng, the Xu family members were imprisoned because of some "small problems" - nothing more than loan sharking and later forcing people to sell their children and daughters!

Fengji is not completely without merit, at least it is fair in this regard...

In the original historical line, Xu You went to plead with Yuan Shao. After being rejected, he simply defected to another old friend of his, Cao Cao, which directly affected the outcome of the Battle of Guandu!
However, under the White Rabbit Effect, Yuan Shao was already defeated before Xu You knew the news...

Guo Tu also seized this opportunity. Before, he and Xu You were only competing for favor, and Feng Ji and Shen Pei were the biggest enemies. Now that Yuan Shang is dead, Guo Tu took the initiative to show his favor to Xu You in order to beat up the lost dog. The two of them joined forces to attack Feng Ji. Put pressure on him to let him go quickly.

Naturally, Xu You would not refuse, and the two became more arrogant than the other, putting pressure on Feng Ji from all aspects.

Feng Ji is also poor and has short ambitions. When he gets home at night, he drinks a glass of bitter wine and thinks about Guo Tu's character and the conflicts between the two. Moreover, this time even Xu You has been offended...

For a moment, Fengji felt that he was not going to die soon!
Just at this time, Shen Pei also came to see him. The two of them usually had some minor disagreements, but they were originally on Yuan Shang's boat, and now they are even more like grasshoppers on the same thread.

How could the judge not know that Guo Tu was already sharpening his sword?

After hearing about Feng Ji's recent experiences, Shen Pei knew that he couldn't just sit back and wait for death...

One person is planning the shortcomings, two people are planning the strengths... They really got the idea!
Taking advantage of Guo Tu and Xu You, they forced Feng Ji to release him. The next day... Feng Ji not only did not carry him to death, but released him with great fanfare. He even bowed and apologized to Xu You's family at the gate of the official office, as if Xu's family domestic slave.

Thinking that this "dog official" dared to catch him before, but now apologized to him with his tail between his legs, several people in the Xu family became more and more arrogant...

Fengji and Shenpei secretly sent people to spread the matter in Yecheng. Fengji even did not hesitate to slander himself, portraying himself as a timid "dog official" who was afraid of getting into trouble.

Of course, the main purpose is to describe how arrogant Guo Tu is with the support of Yuan Tan, and to imply that Yuan Tan is wooing Xu You!

It is still difficult for others to arouse public anger, but it is not easy for Fengji, who is still in charge of Yecheng, to arouse public anger against himself?

And "just" revealed the matter to Jushou...

Jushou didn't think much about it. Seeing the turbulent public sentiment in Ye City, he went to Yuan Shao to report the matter.

Although Yuan Shao, who was seriously ill, was confused, he still called Feng Ji and Guo Tu when he heard what happened.

Feng Ji naturally seized this opportunity, and almost cried while hugging Yuan Shao's thigh, but instead of complaining, he wanted to hand over the token Yuan Shao gave him, and strongly recommended Guo Tu and Xu You...

Guo Tu thought at first that Feng Ji was giving in, but... when he noticed that Yuan Shao's expression was getting more and more wrong, his heart suddenly "thumped"!
Yes, Yuan Shao is very angry now.

Originally, Yuan Shang's death had given him a big blow, but even if he died, Yuan Shao would not be able to give up the idea of ​​abolishing the elder and establishing the younger. Although Yuan Tan also suffered a defeat in Qingzhou, he is getting more and more important, especially now Yuan Shao was seriously ill, and the military power of Jizhou was gradually handed over to him.

Even Yuan Shao was a little lucky. Fortunately, Qingzhou was also defeated. Otherwise, where would his father's face be?
But what happened now?
I'm not dead yet, so you just pretend I don't exist?
How dare you collude with Xu You and do this under my nose?

Whether Xu You's family pardons or not is not the point. The point is... What do you want to do to win over Xu You?Can't wait?
When he thought of this, Yuan Shao's body shook and his eyes widened. Wang Ba... no, it was the energy of the disease that surged up... and he almost lost his breath.

Feng Ji was scared to death. If Yuan Shao carried it on his back now, he could be buried as a sacrifice.

However, in the end, Yuan Shao still stubbornly brought up the situation. At the same time, Yuan Tan, who was consolidating the military power in Jizhou and resisting Cao Cao's march north, was not allowed to return to Yecheng. Guo Tu went home and "grounded himself to repent."

It was at this time that Qu Yi finally returned to Yecheng, which had changed greatly...

In Yuan Shao's little remaining sense, he felt that Xu You was still more useful than Guo Tu, but he was worried about leaving Xu You in Yecheng, so... Yuan Shao thought about it, thinking that Xu You was going to attack Xu Capital by surprise?

go!Hurry up!
It just so happens that Qu Yi is back. You two go to Xudu for a surprise attack. Don't stay in Yecheng anyway!
