Chapter 116: Unable to grasp, unpredictable(1/2)
Cai Yan lived in Jizhou for a long time than Cai Yong, so she knew better about the situation in Jizhou. At least she had experienced the Jizhou crisis and knew why Pan Feng was currently recruiting soldiers.
After Cai Yan mentioned the current situation in Jizhou to Cai Yong, Cai Yong's temper only became a little bit worse.
But when he thought that Lu Bu was about to own two places in Sili and Bingzhou, his strength would be greatly improved, Cai Yong's mood could not be improved.
At this time, Cai Yan, the little cotton jacket, gave Cai Yong an idea.
"Jizhou is taking off at this moment, and it is indeed not convenient to send troops, but Dad, don't forget that there is also Youzhou similar to Bingzhou!"
"Youzhou Liu Gong is a relative of the Han Dynasty and has strong troops and horses. If his father wrote a letter to explain the situation to him, Liu Gong would definitely not allow Lu Bu to easily seize Bingzhou. Even with Liu Gong's character, he might even save the emperor and support the Han Dynasty if he had the chance!"
"Dad, don't forget that the White Horse General Gongsun Zan is still under Liu Gong's command. With the courage of General Gongsun, why should he be afraid of mere Lu Bu?"
Cai Yong's eyes lit up.
It makes sense! Liu Yu is the elder of the royal family and his kindness is everywhere in the world. He definitely does not want the Han Dynasty to fall into the hands of thieves!
He will definitely send troops!
Thinking of this, Cai Yong had no time to say much to Cai Yan and rushed to the study.
He had to write a letter to Liu Yu as soon as possible.
......
Just as Cai Yong was writing a letter to Liu Yu, Yuan Shao took his Qun through nearly half of the Han Dynasty and finally rushed from Jizhou to Runan territory.
It was also thanks to the fact that the Yuan family still had some reputation, otherwise the princes along the way would not dare to lend their territory to Yuan Shao for marching.
Fortunately, after a lot of hardships, Yuan Shao and his party finally arrived at Yuan Shu's territory.
Yuan Shu had long known that Yuan Shao was going to lead the team to vote, and these days he was so happy. This excitement was even more exciting than when he reached an alliance with Sun Jian.
He fought with Yuan Shao openly and secretly for many years. Many people said that Yuan Shu was not as good as Yuan Shao. Even those who wanted to join the Yuan family also went to Yuan Shao's command.
But now it's different!
Yuan Shaonan came to vote for him and had proven to the people of the world who are more capable and who is the real core of the Yuan family!
For this moment, Yuan Shu waited for too long!
After a few days of happiness, Yuan Shu forcibly suppressed his smug appearance.
In fact, after the princes opposed Dong, Yuan Shu had made great changes, and the most obvious one was that he had made great progress in the management of expressions.
After Yuan Shu realized the huge effect that talents like Pan Feng could bring, he had been trying to find talents from Nanyang and Runan counties. During this period, the chief clerk Yan Xiang gave him a suggestion to change his habit of looking at people with his nostrils.
It's true that since he changed that habit, many talented people have been taken by him. Among them, a man named Huang Zhong is almost fifty years old, but Yuan Shu found that his martial arts skills were actually one level higher than Qiao Rui, especially his bow and arrow, which was almost every hit. This alone was that Ji Ling, the first general in the past, could not catch up with him.
This discovery made Yuan Shu overjoyed, and the interest in attracting talents became even stronger.
It was also during this period that Yuan Shu and Sun Jian formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
Speaking of which, Sun Jian was actually a little unfair, because when he asked Dong to go back, he found that his Changsha had been occupied by Liu Biao. The reason why Liu Biao occupied Changsha was because a man named Su Dai took advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou when Sun Jian attacked Dong.
Liu Biao was originally weak because he rode alone in Jingzhou. He was about to rely on the help of Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to gain a foothold in Jingzhou quickly and then develop and strengthen his own power. As a result, Su Dai jumped out.
Then what else is there to say? Liu Biao sent troops to deal with Su Dai and occupied Sun Jian’s Changsha by the way.
Then the question arises. Sun Jian went out and his home was gone!
Then play with a snake?
It happened that Yuan Shu gave Sun Jian an olive branch at this time. Sun Jian thought that it was not the first time he cooperated with Yuan Shu anyway, so he agreed and then took his Qu troops to the Zhangling area of Caiyang, where he stared at Liu Biao's Xiangyang and did not give Liu Biao a good life.
As Yuan Shu's expression management gradually matured, Sun Jian's favorability towards Yuan Shu was getting higher and higher. Although he was still in the alliance with Yuan Shu at this moment, many things were already followed by Yuan Shu's orders.
In addition to gathering up powerful generals and joining Sun Jian, Yuan Shu also recruited troops in the Runan area of Nanyang, with the intention of Jiangxia, Lujiang and Jiujiang counties.
Just at this time, he received the news that Yuan Shao came to vote. Yuan Shu took the time to take the time to go to the Runan family to see his brother who was like a stray dog.
......
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao finally met the above in the ancestral home of Yuan's family in Runan.
As time goes by, Yuan Shao, who was once proud, sat opposite Yuan Shu like a "rescue", and could not see his former glory at all.
Although Yuan Shu was a little proud, his ability to manage expressions made him forcibly stabilize his eyebrows.
"Benchu, we're meeting again." Yuan Shu looked down on Yuan Shao from the bottom of his heart, and he was too lazy to call him brother.
Yuan Shao didn't care. It was not the first time Yuan Shu was disrespectful to him. Seeing him speak, Yuan Shao also greeted him a few words.
After some vain and slandering, Yuan Shao expressed his intention.
"Highway, when the alliance parted, I knew you would have the achievements you have now. It seems that you are really the one who belongs to destiny!"
After Yuan Shao finished speaking, Yuan Shu was shocked, but he quickly recovered.
Yuan Shu secretly hated himself, and his cunning was still a little lacking. This change of color, Yuan Shao could guess something.
In fact, Yuan Shao did not use guessing. He had known about Sun Jian's jade seal for Yuan Shu to exchange for a group of war horses. As a member of the Yuan family, it would be a relaxing thing for him to have a spy next to Yuan Shu?
At that time, Yuan Shao had thought of snatching the jade seal that Yuan Shu had obtained, but Yuan Shu was very treacherous. After obtaining the jade seal, he led his troops back to Nanyang and forced Yuan Shao to say a few words to him.
Now that Yuan Shao is coming to join Yuan Shu, of course he has to say what Yuan Shu loves to listen to.
He thought that praising Yuan Shu as a destiny would make Yuan Shu more or less happy, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan Shu was not only unhappy, but became worried.
In Yuan Shu's opinion, only he and Sun Jian knew about the jade seal. Except for Sun Jian's several generals, he was unaware of it, but Yuan Shao's words made him alert.
Now Yuan Shu is in a rapid development stage, and he doesn't want the fact that he has the jade seal to spread too early.
You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.
Yuan Shu knew that before his strength was strong, the news about the jade seal was that the more secret the better, but now Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said that the jade seal was with him, how could that be great?
"By the beginning, you can't talk nonsense. The destiny of heaven is the emperor of Chang'an. I am the legitimate son of Yuan. I should take it as my responsibility to be loyal to the emperor. Don't slander me for being rebellious. Otherwise, even in Runan, the elders of the clan will not be able to save you." Yuan Shu said with a slight threat.
This shocked Yuan Shao. He found that his previous understanding of Yuan Shu seemed to have deviated.
After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Shao's heart was shocked.
Is this still the one Yuan Gaolu in front of me who is too ambitious, arrogant, complacent and despised everyone?
In fact, Yuan Shao felt that Yuan Shu had become a little different just now. He originally thought it was an illusion, but now he realized that Yuan Shu had really changed, making him feel a little confused!
If it were in the past, what he said just now would definitely make Yuan Shu even more proud, and he would even take the opportunity to make a few sarcasm. But now, Yuan Shu is directly asking the source of the news, which shows that he is very clear about how much trouble it will bring to exposing the jade seal now!
This is not like the habit that Yuan Shu should have!
At this moment, Yuan Shao was suddenly confused about his decision to go south to Jianghuai.
Yuan Shu grew up so fast that he only had some defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers left under his command. How should he replace this scene?
However, Yuan Shao had no way back at this time. Han Fu appointed the new Bohai prefect not long after Yuan Shao left Bohai. Even if Yuan Shao wanted to go back, he could not go back!
However, during his time in Jizhou, Yuan Shao also grew up a lot, at least he has not responded so much to the threat brought by Yuan Shu's language.
"Don't worry about the highway. I am the only one who knows about this. You and I are the same clan, so I will not harm you for no reason!"
Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time he looked at Yuan Shao carefully in front of him.
"Benchu, if you really helped me, I wouldn't treat you badly, but if you have other intentions, don't blame me for being the same clan of the General Yuan Gonglu!"
Yuan Shao bowed deeply and didn't even dare to say anything.
Afterwards, Yuan Shu took Yuan Shao to visit the army he recruited recently, and by the way, he met Huang Zhong, the most powerful general under his command.
After Yuan Shu's warning, Yuan Shao seemed to be really convinced. While visiting the camp, he followed Yuan Shu all the way and praised Yuan Shu's camp and his soldiers. Even Huang Zhong was praised by Yuan Shao.
This scene made Yuan Shu feel proud, and then he returned to his calm appearance.
Nowadays, Yuan Shu is gradually turning his expression management into his instinctive habit until no one can see his inner emotions anymore.
Yuan Shao's appearance of following in the eyes of the chief clerk Yan Xiang made Yan Xiang feel alert.
Since Yan Xiang is working under Yuan Shu, he naturally knows the Yuan brothers very well. To be honest, Yan Xiang thinks that neither of them can accomplish great things!
The main reason why he was willing to work under Yuan Shu and never left Yuan Shu was that Yuan Shu had the kindness of knowing him.
A scholar died for his confidant, and Yuan Shu promoted Yan Xiang to the side and used it with great importance. Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu's shortcomings and planned to do his best to help Yuan Shu build a career. As for whether he succeeded in the end or not, it was not something he could guarantee.
At this time, seeing that Yuan Shu's foundation was about to be laid, Yuan Shao rushed from Jizhou to surrender to Yuan Shu. According to Yan Xiang's information, Yuan Shao came to surrender to Yuan Shu when he was desperate in Jizhou!
This shows that Yuan Shao was unwilling to do so!
But now Yuan Shao looks like he is willing to be Yuan Shu's younger brother.
This makes people feel uneasy.
The more unpredictable it is, the more terrifying it is!
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are one more prouder and one more blinder. But now, under the dual effects of his own persuasion and his own experience, Yuan Shu has begun to develop in a good direction. But Yuan Shu can change, why can't Yuan Shao?
It is said that Yuan Shao's powerful generals are like clouds and strategists, so it is normal for him to have a few strategists who gave him advice.
Is Yuan Shao’s abnormality now the result of persuasion by his subordinates?
How big is he planning to make the proud and arrogant Yuan Shao put down his airs and follow Yuan Shu like a younger brother?
Yan Xiang felt that it was necessary to remind Yuan Shu that even if he wanted to not suppress Yuan Shao under the friendship of the same clan, he would still leave enough guard against Yuan Shao.
After Yuan Shu showed off in front of Yuan Shao, he happily returned to the mansion, while Yan Xiang talked about his concerns and speculations with Yuan Shu.
