Chapter 245: Plan ahead

Although Ju Su and a few Jizhou officials also tried their best to plead for Tian Feng, the dissatisfaction of the Grand Duke Yuan San’s resentment with Tian Feng was not a day or two. In addition, the party of Prince Yuan Shang fanned the flames to bring down the stumbling block. Prince Yuan Tan was afraid that the Grand Duke Yuan San’s investigation would be investigated and repaid his grudges for self-protection. The poor famous minister Tian Toyota Yuan Hao finally ended his life with a glass of poisonous wine under the joint frame-up of Yuan Shao and his son, countless colleagues from Jizhou who had ulterior motives and left a whole body for Tian Feng.

Except for a very small number of senior executives in Jizhou and several parties involved, no one knows what kind of shocking secret is hidden in Yang Changshi's belt. Even Mr. Yuan Tan and Mr. Yuan Tan's best friend did not know what kind of secret is hidden in that belt, which could make the furious Mr. Yuan suddenly become ecstatic?

The Grand Duke Yuan San was not yet dementia, and his mind was still very clear. Of course, he did not dare to let his eldest son, who had always been very close to Mr. Cao, know the inside story. The leaked news caused him, who was still unable to start a war on both sides, and he also got into trouble. He also harmed countless internal responses and strong aids that could be used. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry under Ma Teng made the Grand Duke Yuan San covet the strong soldiers of the world for many years, so the secret hidden in that belt also became a huge mystery in the hearts of most civil and military officials in Jizhou.

Of course, Yang Changshi, the biggest culprit, was not so easy to escape. At least the blood edict of Emperor Xian of Han in his belt would have to be explained. Fortunately, all the parties involved in this blood edict were not in Jizhou. A Yi, a young man who escorted this blood edict to Jizhou, could neither show up publicly nor betray Yang Changshi. Our Yang Changshi naturally said whatever he wanted, and would do whatever he wanted. There was no need to worry about being exposed.

No matter how nonsense is, you don’t have to worry about being exposed. Such a good opportunity, our Yang Changshi must certainly try to gild his face. He insisted that the reason why Emperor Xian of Han was in his hands was because the emperor and Dong Guojiu felt that Yang Changshi was a rare loyal and capable minister in the world, and a humble gentleman with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness! Therefore, Dong Guojiu specially sent someone to hand over the blood edict to Yang Changshi and asked Yang Changshi to sign and draw the letter of the blood edict.

The enemy, with Dong Guojiu, Ma Taishou, Wang Zifu and others, joined forces to fight against Cao's thieves! He also asked Yang Changshi to visit the next hero of the world, a hero of the world, and present the blood edict to him, asking him to raise his arms and shout, and lead the heroes of the world to fight against Cao Cao who deceived the emperor and corrupt the court's traitor! Save the people from the water and fire, support the country from the general, return the great power to the emperor, and make contributions for all generations... (The following is more than 10,000 words)

As for why Yang Changshi did not immediately present the blood edict to Grand Yuan Sangong or Deputy Director Tao, it would be better explained to Yang Changshi. It was because the blood edict received when Yang Changshi was on his mission to Jizhou. The person who sent the edict was not trusted by Deputy Director Tao. Therefore, he pursued loyal ministers thousands of miles to Jizhou and handed over the blood edict to Grand Yuan Sangong. It was because the war in Yijing was not over, and he was considerate and worried that he would miss the great event of Grand Yuan Sangong annihilation of Gongsun Zan's rebels. In addition, the consent of Deputy Director Tao had not yet been obtained, so Yang Changshi planned to wait for the instructions to Deputy Director Tao to talk about it. This happened later.

Of course, the Grand Duke of Yuan San would not completely believe Yang Changshi's nonsense. Yang Changshi brags and brags with shamelessness and cannot deceive first-class strategists such as Xun Chen and Shen Pei. However, the Grand Duke of Yuan San Chen and Xun Chen have no plans to investigate. First, it is meaningless to investigate in detail. It is useless to find out the origin of the Blood Edict. Second, several top strategists under the Grand Duke of Yuan San suddenly discovered that this blood edict and this righteousness were actually a good opportunity to force Deputy Director Tao to take the side. It can completely force the increasingly powerful Xuzhou army to the opposite of Boss Cao, making it impossible for the two strongest neighbors on the southern front of the Jizhou Army to unite and work together to pose a threat to the Grand Duke of Yuan San.

"Lord, my subordinates believe that a copy of the blood edict should be copied, and together with the original meaning of the title of the master's name, the original letter of the master's name should be sent to Xuzhou to order Tao Ying to sign the edict, and swear to fight against the thief together."

This was a bad idea from Xun Chen, a confidant counselor of the Great Yuan Sangong. Then Xun Chen explained the intention of the bad idea to the Great Yuan Sangong: "Tao Ying has always claimed to be loyal and righteous. In the previous period, he withdrew from Yanzhou and became acquainted with Cao's bandits. It was also an excuse that he was loyal before filial piety and blocked his lord's mouth on the grounds that the emperor's decree was not to violate the orders of the emperor."

"Today, Zixue's edict was held by the lord. The lord ordered Tao Ying to write a letter and sign it, and swear to fight against Cao's thieves. If Tao Ying does not follow, it will be unfaithful and unfilial, and the people will be lost, and will be scolded by thousands of people and abandoned by the scholars. If Tao Ying follows, then the righteousness can be handled by Tao Ying. The lord can be ordered to Tao Ying. The lord attacks each other and retreats can make Tao Cao unable to work together. When the lord looks south to Xuchang, Tao Ying and Cao's thieves cannot work together to compete with the lord."

"Wonderful! This plan is great!" The Grand Duke of Yuan applauded and asked again: "Who should I send you as an envoy?"

"If the lord does not abandon him, Chen wants to recommend his cousin Xun Qi as an envoy." Xun Chen bowed and said, "Xun Qi is the eldest son of Xun Qu, the cousin of the minister. His courtesy name is Boqi. He is a talented person in the Confucian scholars and is well aware of the great righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. If the lord can use him as an envoy, he believes that he will succeed. He convinces Tao Ying to obey the orders of the lord, obey the lord's orders."

The old Xun family's prominent reputation in the late Han Dynasty was naturally not to mention. By the way, they brought a child from the clan and were the targets of the princes' competition to win over. Even if they were not used, they could be used as a political vase. So the Sangong of Yuan did not even blink, and immediately agreed to send Xun Chen's nephew Xun Qi as an envoy. He also made a favor to Xun Qi as an official position as a central doctor. Xun Chen was very happy and quickly thanked Da Yuan Sangong on behalf of his cousin. Then Xun Chen suggested sending Xun Qi and Yang Changshi back to Xuzhou, and on the pretext of replying to the deputies to meet with Deputy Director Tao, and took the opportunity to ask Deputy Director Tao to sign the letter of loyalty. The Sangong of Yuan also happily accepted the suggestion.

In this way, of course, it has been a pain for us to be a popular fan of Jizhou. We repeatedly hinted that we were willing to stay in Jizhou to be a cattle for the Grand Duke of Yuan San, but in the end we received the reply from the Grand Duke of Yuan, Xun Qi, who sent him to work as a central man to Xuzhou with him to answer the gift. Our Yang Changshi suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning. But there was no way. Grand Duke of Yuan never caught a cold with the infamous Yang Changshi. Although Mr. Yuan Shang had some appreciation for Yang Changshi, he was unwilling to have a dispute with his strong foreign aid brother-in-law because of the instigation of Shen Pei and Feng Ji. He also rejected Yang Changshi's request to stay in Jizhou to become an official, so our Yang Changshi had to bid farewell to Jizhou Paradise with tears and tears, and returned to Xuzhou Hell to continue suffering.

Fortunately, Mr. Yuan Shang was a very generous person. He agreed to another request from Yang Changshi and gave his servant Guo Yu, the girl Ayi, to our Yang Changshi. The brother, younger brother and sister of the girl Ayi also followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, and were able to return to Xuzhou to enjoy a relatively comfortable life. At the same time, in order to revenge Mr. Yuan Shang's ignorance of Jin Xiangyu, Yang Changshi also deliberately did not expose the identity of the beautiful spy Xu Xue, and asked Xu Xue to continue to stay in Mr. Yuan Shang's mansion as a spy, and to harm Mr. Yuan Shang, who is still in the dark.

There were many major events during this period. First of all, of course, the Grand Duke of Yuan Yuan accepted the peace request from Cao, temporarily stabilized Cao and took the opportunity to personally fight Yijing, leaving Shenpai to manage the southern line, leading Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's second sons to Yijing north to supervise the battle. The second son Yuan Xi took over as the governor of Qingzhou; then, when Cao Cao personally fought against Nanyang, Zhang Ji, the remnant of Dong Boss, died in a trap on the battlefield in Rangcheng. The remaining troops retreated to Yin County under the leadership of Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, while our uncle Liu lost Jiyang early and retreated back to Xinye. The military advisor Xu Shu was forced to leave by Cao's plan to use fake books, and almost all the central and northern parts of Nanyang were captured by Cao.

By the way, our boss Cao is not a good thing. When the poor Mr. Xu Shu cried and took my mother's fake letter to him and asked him to die, the first thing Cao Cao did after he helped Xu Shu up was to tell Xu Shu with a smile that he had not forced Xu Shu's mother. Using a fake book to trick Xu Shu into Cao's camp was also an idea given to boss Cao's ally Deputy Director Tao - in order to revenge Cao's mortal enemy, Uncle Liu. As a result, Xu Shu naturally hated Deputy Director Tao into his bones...

In addition, there was also a very important event for Deputy Director Tao personally. It was really flowers inserted into cow dung. Gentle and virtuous can definitely be regarded as a typical wife. Deputy Director Tao’s wife Yuan Fang gave birth. She also gave birth to the eldest son for Deputy Director Tao, which completely shattered the only hope of Deputy Director Tao’s side room. When the news spread again, not only Deputy Director Tao was ecstatic, but also Yuan Sangong and Mr. Yuan Shang were also smiling from ear to ear. Mr. Yuan Tan broke up the case on the spot and scolded Cangtian for being eyesless. How could the relationship between Yuan Shang and Tao Ying become more and more intimate? The alliance became more and more unbreakable?

In early March, Deputy Director Tao led his army back to Pengcheng from Huainan. After visiting Wenrou's wife and baby son, before her butt was still hot, Yang Changshi led Xun Qi to pay homage. Deputy Director Tao, who did not dare to be accused of being accused of aristocratic family, quickly led a grand reception for several absolute confidants. Xun Qi took the opportunity to show the copy of Emperor Xian of Han, and Dong Cheng started, and there was a letter signed by the Grand Duke of Yuan San to challenge Cao Yi, and encouraged Deputy Director Tao to tell Deputy Director Tao about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and asked Deputy Director Tao to sign and write on the letter of righteousness and swear to fight against Cao thieves together. Our Deputy Director Tao did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Yuan Fang, come with the pen and ink."

Chen Yingying Sing Nuo immediately took the pen and ink. When Deputy Director Tao was about to sign his name on the letter of justice, Liu Ye coughed and reminded: "Lord, this is a matter of the truth. Should I make a decision after a little discussion?"

"No need to discuss it." Deputy Director Tao, who had always been able to listen to both the wisdom, shook his head and rejected Liu Ye's hint, and then said righteously: "Cao thief takes power and bullies the king and father. The emperor ordered the Han officials to raise an army to fight against the thief. Tao Yingshi has the power of the world, how could he hesitate?"

After saying that, Deputy Director Tao drew his name in a crooked manner without hesitation, then held it back to Xun Qi with both hands, and said solemnly: "Please ask Mr. Boqi to report to his father-in-law that once his father-in-law sends troops, he should immediately lead the troops from Qingzhou, Xuzhou to the north and respond to his father-in-law."

Xun Qi, who said nothing, did not expect things to go so well, quickly agreed and praised Deputy Director Tao for his unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. He was a model of loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Deputy Director Tao smiled and humble, and held a banquet to entertain Xun Qi. He also led everyone to personally send Xun Qi out of the mansion and sent Yang Changshi to send Xun Qi back to the inn. However, when he returned to the conference hall, the smile on the face of Deputy Director Tao, who was faster than turning over the books, disappeared immediately, and he cursed: "This Yang Zhongming is simply a waste. He actually got the robbery for Yuan Shao. This time we were passive!"

"Forgive me, lord. Mr. Zhongming has already introduced Xu to Xu, and Mr. Zhongming had no choice but to do so. If he didn't hand over the emperor's blood edict to Yuan Shao, the matter would not end." Jia Lao Poison was quite conscientious. He first explained to his benefactor Yang Changshi, and then asked in confusion: "Lord, since you know you are in a passive position, Mr. Ziyang hinted to remind you, why did you still sign your name on the letter of justice on the spot?"

"It's okay if you don't sign it." Deputy Director Tao said with a frown: "If I don't sign the letter of justice, then I'm a traitor who colludes with Cao thief to bully the emperor. I'm accomplice who makes accomplices of Cao thief for the tiger! Anyway, I have to sign it, so it's better to sign it on the spot."

"What the lord said is very true. Since this moral character has been sent to the front, if the lord does not sign it, it will be very passive in morality." Jia Lao Poison nodded and said, "But in this way, when will our army turn against Cao's army? When will we go to war with Cao's army, we cannot control it."

"It's okay, as long as you don't start a war with Yuan Shao immediately." Deputy Director Tao waved his hand carelessly and snorted: "My father-in-law wants to use a righteous letter to control the war time between me and Cao Zhe. I want me and Cao Zhe to be unable to work together because of this righteous letter. I would underestimate me and Cao Zhe. I bet that even if Cao Zhe knew about it, I would definitely pretend not to know!"

"Cao Zhe is not that stupid. It's already very difficult for him to fight my father-in-law alone. He will make me anxious. Cao Zhe's family can buy a coffin to prepare for funeral!"

Jia Lao Poison nodded again, agreeing with Deputy Director Tao's judgment on Boss Cao - with Boss Cao's calmness, wisdom and foresight, it is indeed unlikely that when the bus with Da Yuan San, he would provoke Deputy Director Tao, the poisonous snake that bites people to death and does not lose his life, is also the most poisonous five-step snake. After nodding, Jia Lao Poison reminded again: "Lord, no matter whether our army will join forces with Yuan to destroy Cao or resist Yuan in the future, we must start preparing for the Northern Line Battle."

"Yuan Shao has personally led his army north to attack Yijing, and with our thunder chariots to help, Gongsun Zan will never be able to support him for a long time. After Gongsun Zan was destroyed, Yuan Shao's main force went south, and our army and Cao's army were the first to be hit. If our army is not prepared enough, it will definitely be deeply affected. I hope the lord will start to hoard food and grass on the northern line as soon as possible, rectify the army, prepare enough weapons, and prepare for the battle on the northern line."

"Mr. Wenhe said so well, we have to prepare." Deputy Director Tao nodded, then turned to Chen Deng and ordered: "Yuanlong, let's organize our granary situations such as grain storage, military equipment and supplies tomorrow, and let's discuss the major events of the Northern Front to prepare for war."

Logistics expert Chen Deng smiled and said, but Liu Ye had different opinions and raised objections: "Lord, it's too early to concentrate the main manpower and material resources on the northern line now? Yuan Shao personally conquered Yijing, and Gongsun Zan was indeed about to be destroyed, but Yuan Shao's army was launched for many years, the people's livelihood in the territory was withered, the granaries were not accumulated, and the soldiers were exhausted. Qingyou's newly occupied land was not determined, and it took time to stand firm. I'm afraid that the war on the southern line would not be launched immediately. If our army invested its financial and material resources on the northern line to prepare for war early, it would definitely affect the reconstruction of Huainan, and the navy's plan to form a navy."

"Mr. Ziyang's words make sense, but it's better to be careful." Deputy Director Tao said cautiously: "My father-in-law's temper is as unpredictable as the face of a three-year-old child. He cries whenever he says, laughs when he says, and laughs when he says, just like the rainy season in May and June. He says, it's sunny, and rain when he says, and forcibly launches the Southern Front War regardless of people's livelihood and military affairs. My father-in-law can definitely do such a thing. If we don't prepare for the rain, it's too late to dig the well when we are thirsty."

Liu Ye closed his mouth, then had an idea, and said hurriedly: "Lord, since you believe that Yuan Shao's personality is elusive, it is very likely that he would forcibly launch the Southern Front War regardless of insufficient military preparations. Why not try our best to promote this? Let Yuan Shao launch the Southern Front War immediately after the Yijing War ended? In this way, our army is prepared for the enemy but not prepared, is it exhausted to fight with sharp wars, and is strict and stable against the chaos and turmoil. Wouldn't it take many advantages?"

Deputy Director Tao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned his head to see the two lackeys of Jia Lao Poison and Chen Deng. However, Jia Lao Poison and Chen Deng both showed joy on their faces. It was obvious that they were reminded by Liu Ye's words. Suddenly, there was a way to further weaken Yuan Sangong. Then, Deputy Director Tao, whose head had no good things except bad water, also quickly began to think about it, "What should I do? Is it possible for my father-in-law to get into the head of my father-in-law? After the beating Gongsun Zan, I will beat Cao Zhe immediately? Or, is there any way to let Cao Zhe take the initiative to take the initiative and take advantage of the situation to rob troops and attack the now extremely empty southern line of Jizhou, completely angering my father-in-law with a bad temper?"

By the way, Deputy Director Tao was really helpless to plot against his father-in-law this time. Now the nail households on the southern Xuzhou line have been forced by Deputy Director Tao to build a shed. Without the cover of the powerful navy, they cannot cross the Yangtze River, so they naturally cannot demolish these broken sheds. The sea is on the east side, and the central and northern parts of the west are blocked by Cao. Although Liu Shoumen in the southwest is easier to demolish, the road is too far away and blocked by Dabie Mountains. The Xuzhou demolition team, which is difficult to guarantee logistics, is simply out of reach. Da Yuan Sangong and Cao on the northern line are famous for being tough and difficult nail households. They have relationships and backers and are extremely good at violent resistance to the law. The Xuzhou demolition team cannot afford to provoke him, and they simply want to carry out demolition and have no target.

So there is no other way. In order to demolish the world's ultimate dream, to open up the road of demolition, and to weaken the two most difficult and stubborn nail households, our Deputy Director Tao can only be open and forget his own selfishness, ruthless, and began to think about attacking his father-in-law's house.
