The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260 The Fish Takes the Bait

When Liu Bian returned to Luoyang for the first time, he planned a conspiracy to recuperate the troops in Chang'an and Luoyang.And use Youzhou's soldiers and horses to stir up Hebei in the Central Plains, delay the development opportunities of several princes, and consume their strength.And delaying the development of Qingzhou can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The strategy was finalized by Liu Bian, and then the group of ministers and merchants discussed state affairs and retreated.

However, the state machinery is running quickly to prepare for this strategy.The first is two letters, one to Liu Yu of Youzhou, asking him to send troops to attack Youbeiping, Gongsun Zan’s old lair, and one to Li Xianzhong of Bingzhou, telling him to prepare his army for war and get ready to send troops out of Huguan to attack Yuan Shao’s lair Yecheng.

But the key person in this strategy is neither Liu Yu, nor Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others, but Yuan Yi in Yanzhou!

Yuan Yi was the prefect of Shanyang in Yanzhou, and he was one of the eighteen princes when the feudal princes challenged Dong.However, his identity is Yuan Shao's family brother, so it can be said that he is a member of Yuan Shao's party.

When Liu Bian was still in Chang'an, Guo Jia offered advice to Liu Bian and secretly declared Yuan Yi to be the governor of Yanzhou. Yuan Yi must ask his brother Yuan Shao to join him. If Yuan Yi became the governor of Yanzhou, it would mean that Yanzhou also belonged to Yuan Shao. .Yuan Shao, who is greedy for profit, naturally will not let this opportunity go.

On the basis of Guo Jia's strategy, Xun Yu asked Youzhou to send troops to Youbeiping, so that Gongsun Zan could quickly return to help, and Yuan Shao could free up his hands to fight Zhao Kuangyin of Yanzhou.

No one knows the final result of this strategy, but it is an opportunity to disrupt the situation in the Central Plains of Hebei.

In Shanyang County of Yanzhou, Yuan Yi was also a man who did not cultivate soldiers and horses, and he raised all the money of the government and his family's private soldiers.As soon as the yellow scarf arrived, he left the office and hid in the family under the protection of the family's soldiers and horses.

Yuan Yi advocated inviting his elder brother Yuan Shao to enter Yanzhou to preside over the overall situation, but Bao Xin and others were worried that Yuan Shao's arrival would endanger their status, so they were willing to recommend Zhao Kuangyin as the governor of Yanzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately agreed to prepare the army to fight against the Yellow Turbans. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After all, Yuan Yi knew about this matter.Yuan Yi was naturally not reconciled, the fourth generation and third prince of the Yuan family, how could Zhao Kuangyin have any virtue, and Pei was in charge of the official seal of the governor of Yanzhou?

Yuan Yi was naturally jealous and unwilling. As early as when Huang Jin first entered Yanzhou, he wrote to his brother Yuan Shao frequently, asking him to send troops to Yanzhou.According to the letter, Zhao Kuangyin only made his fortune halfway, but he is an incompetent person. Bao Xin and others were afraid that the emperor would blame him for the crime of losing his territory, so they recommended Zhao Kuangyin. After the war, the elder brother took advantage of the situation to seize Yanzhou without bloodshed.

It's just that Yuan Shao is confronting Gongsun Zan, how can he make a move to enter Yanzhou?
On this day at Yuan Yi's mansion, several envoys from Luoyang came to the gate of Yuan's mansion.

"Go and tell your master, I have something to see him!" The leader was Gao Jian, an elite of Jinyiwei, who was not afraid of Yuan Yi's reputation at all, and acted like an old man.

"Bold, this is Shanyang prefect Yuan's mansion, how dare you be presumptuous!" The servant of Yuan's mansion also did his part and scolded angrily.

"Do you know who I am? I have great wealth to give to your lord, why don't you report it quickly? I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it if you delay the big event!" Gao Jiandi shouted.

"Okay, I want to see what wealth you have given to my lord! Wait, I will report it right away!" The slave of the Yuan Mansion sneered.

The house slave went in to inform Yuan Yi. At the door, a Jin Yiwei asked Gao Jian in a low voice, "Master Commander, why are you acting like this? If you offend Yuan Yi, I'm afraid he won't see you!"

"How is it possible? People are curious? I did this because I learned from the eunuchs in the late emperor's time. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family, among them there are many capable people, want Yuan Yi to be among them. , If I do this, they only think that the Luoyang court is still corrupt, so they will lower their suspicions and take it lightly!" Gao Jian explained in a low voice.

"The Commander is good at controlling people's hearts. I can't imitate the ordinary lobbyist Xiaozhi who uses emotion and reason, otherwise I will be noticed! Learn to be flexible!" Gao Jian warned again.

"Eh..." Jin Yiwei behind Gao Jian was confused and expressed his understanding.

But after a while, the house door opened wide and the slave came out and said: "My lord let you in, but if you dare to speak nonsense, hum!"

"Bah! No one has ever dared to speak to me like this before. I want your lord to let me out of the mansion in person later! You dog slave!" Gao Jian spat and walked into the Yuan mansion with his head held high.

In the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Yi sat upright, looked at Gao Jian and the others in front of him, and asked doubtfully: "Who are you, dare to lie that a great wealth is gifted to me?"

"I came from Luoyang to announce the decree for His Majesty! Inspector Yuan, please take a bath and change clothes to welcome the imperial decree!" Facing Yuan Yi, Gao Jian seemed to be a little more respectful, and bowed his hands and said.

"Proclaim the imperial decree for His Majesty? What did you call me earlier? Inspector? What Inspector?" Yuan Yi asked doubtfully, thinking of that level, he couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty named you the Inspector of Yanzhou, take a bath and change clothes quickly, and burn incense to prepare for the imperial decree!" Gao Jian said impatiently.

"Oh, the angel will wait a moment, I'll go and prepare tea for the emperor!" Yuan Yi was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly ordered his servants to entertain Gao Jian and others, and prepare for the imperial edict.

Yuan Yi was busy, burning incense and filing records, bathing and changing clothes, and finally got ready. Yuan Yi bowed to listen, and Gao Jian read out: "I am very worried about the incident of the Yellow Scarves raging in Yanzhou. It is a pity that Luoyang's troops are not enough to send troops to put down the rebellion. Yuan Yi Yi was born in the Yuan family, four generations and three princes, quite famous, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and others elected Zhao Kuangyin as the governor, beheaded first and then played, in fact, it is to shirk responsibility, it can be called a wolf ambition."

"However, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, did not participate in it, which shows his loyalty. Therefore, Yuan Yi is specially designated as the governor of Yanzhou, and he will wipe out the Yellow Turban of Yanzhou for me! It will benefit the people of Yanzhou."

"Inspector Yuan, accept the order!" Gao Jian handed the imperial order to Yuan Yi.Yuan Yi took the imperial decree with both hands, looked at it, and saw that it was ordered by heaven, and since the eight characters of Shou Yongchang were stamped on the lower right corner, it was obviously a real imperial decree that could not be real.

"Angel, Your Majesty proclaimed me the governor of Yanzhou, did you give me an oral order?" Yuan Yi asked after receiving the imperial decree to confirm its authenticity.

"The emperor said that Zhao Kuangyin and other wolves were ambitious for rebellion. They actually killed the prince first and then acted as governors. They really don't take the prince seriously. The emperor ordered you to kill them." Gao Jian made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Here, Zhao Kuangyin has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and now he has become a governor. I am not appointed by the emperor. I really can't win this power! Let alone punishing thieves!" Yuan Yi wondered.

"Hmph, what's the use of complaining to me? Do you want me to stay here to help you eliminate thieves? After the decree, since you can't do it, then I will go back and ask the emperor to choose another wise man! Let's go!" Gao Jian waved his big hand and wanted to leave the house.

"Angel, wait a minute, I will take this edict, go back and pass it on to the emperor, I will definitely wipe out the yellow scarves in Yanzhou, and punish the Zhao bandits!" Yuan Yi hurriedly pulled Gao Jian back and said.

"Hmph, if you want me to tell the emperor to remember your kindness, it would be easy. I am a close minister of your majesty, and I can say something. If I say a few words, I will keep you on the rise!" Gao Jian laughed. Dao, is completely a snob face.

Yuan Yi was determined, this is really a good thing that fell from the sky, if it was a conspiracy, why did the emperor send such people to announce the decree?Not afraid to screw things up?Yuan Yi despised Gao Jian and others in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, come here, prepare some salute belts for the angels!"

After a while, a servant brought a tray with a dozen or so gold bars on it, a total of one hundred gold.

"It's still Yuan Governor who understands the truth. When I return to Luoyang, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the emperor! I will keep you safe and successful!" Gao Jian promised while patting his chest as he took the gold bar.

Gao Jian left, Yuan Yi personally sent them out of the mansion, seeing people walking away, Yuan Yi said: "Follow up and see what is wrong with them."

But half an hour later, some subordinates came over to report: "My lord, they found a brothel in the city. It's so lively to have fun, and they even praised your goodness, saying that they want to say good things about your greatness in front of the emperor!"

"Haha, it is said that the Son of Heaven is wise and wise. He doesn't want to be like the previous emperor. He doesn't want to be close to villains. His subordinates are full of such people. What is there to fear from this kind of emperor? It's time for my Yuan family to rise. Come on, prepare a horse and I'm going to Jizhou!" Yuan Yi laughed loudly.
