Chapter 2145 1.34 End the war with war
Looking at Wang Lang, a famous scholar in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu was unable to calm down for a moment.
Wang Lang studied under the Grand Marshal Yang Ci in his early years. He became a doctor because he was well-versed in the classics and appointed him as the chief of the Qingqiu. Later, Yang Ci passed away and Wang Lang abandoned his official position and mourned. After the expiration of his term, Kong Rong took Wang Lang into the palace of the General of the Cavalry. The next two days later, the heavens were joined by the heavens, and his uncle and nephew fought against each other. Luoyang sent him as an envoy and sent an edict to Xuzhou. It was said that Tao Qian was ordered to fight against rebellion, and was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou and was granted the title of general. He moved east to Zhendu with the court and is now a counselor.
But at some point, he defected to Taibao Cao Song and ran around for the Cao father and son.
"Is Dong Cavalry safe?" Yuan Shu asked his old master just because he was suspicious.
"Dong Piqiu is well." Wang Lang's expression was as usual. He said, "Gathering and dispersing." It must be because Dong Chong agreed, and Wang Lang had just left the mansion. After all, "good birds choose trees to live in." At that time, Luoyang was in turmoil, and Dong Piqiu fell down the tree and scattered the money. He sent off his subordinates and waited for death in a closed door. Unexpectedly, because Yongle accumulated copper and saved his life. Times have changed, and now it seems that there is a trend of reviving.
For some reason, I did not recruit any more staff.
Only Zhang Xun, the last official, followed him all the time.
Previously, Zhang Xun and Kong Rong and Wang Lang were called "Three Officials of the Cavalry". When the disaster came, Kong Rong and Wang Lang each flew away. Only Zhang Xun never rebeled from beginning to end. He even worked in the shogunate as the chief clerk, chief clerk, chief clerk, and chief clerk. He was deeply believed by Dong Chong.
"The words of the noble envoy are very clear. However, this matter is very important, you must be careful. If you are troubled, you will stay for a few days. How about it?"
"Dare not obeying the order." Wang Lang retreated.
Later, a group of subordinates entered.
Listen to Yuan Shu, he told Wang Lang's purpose of this trip and showed it.
The chief clerk Yan Xiang led the Huainan Yin and then said, "The Cao father and son are treacherous and wise. Now they want to talk about the generals, and they jointly destroyed Lu Bu. So they killed the king's Taishi Hawks and Dogs. Since the four kings of Xuzhou were taken away by the king's Taishi, only Guangling County was left, which was occupied by Tao Qian. Even if Lu Bu was destroyed, Xuzhou changed its ruler. How could it be used by the general?"
The prefect of Jiujiang and chief minister Yang Hong, had different opinions: "As the chief clerk said, Wang Lang only said 'Xuzhou changed the master'. However, he did not explain who was the master. He was humble and thought that Wang Lang was the only one who said that he was the one who gave the Guangling county and privately granted the Ming Gong."
The prefect of Lujiang, who was separated from Han Yin, also spoke out: "The humble and the chief minister have similar views."
Yuan Shu nodded slightly and asked again: "Xu Xiang, what do you think?"
The prime minister of Fuling, the famous scholar Xu Shao, calculated with his fingers, and then he smiled deeply: "Ming Gong Shao (please rest assured). I have another envoy from Zhendu."
"Oh?" Yuan Shu was stunned: "Maybe the King of the King?" The dispute between the Supreme Lord lasted for a long time. Yuan Shu thought that Wang Yunzhi's tricks were still above Cao Song.
"No, no." Xu Shao smiled and said, "I will see the difference soon."
The Prime Minister of Hefei, Hu Wuban, the Eight Chefs, looked at Xu Shao, and wanted to speak but stopped.
As expected, the next day, another envoy from Zhendu entered the city.
It was Zhang Xun, the chief of the Cavalry Mansion.
"Ziqian, why did you come from?" In Luoyang, Yuan Shu and Dong Chong, flying eagles and dogs, and playing Cuju. Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun were also old acquaintances.
"Report to the general, he is a lobbyist of Dong's cavalry." Zhang Xun told him frankly.
"Haha." Yuan Shu smiled. Zhang Xun's move was in a tough mood.
"Why not say it clearly?" Yuan Shu smiled and signaled.
"The general should know that Zhendu is fighting for the government, and the government is not going to be a big deal. Wang Taishi wanted to move back to the old capital, but Cao Taibao did not want to." Zhang Xun asked with a smile: "Why?"
"Can it be that Dong's cavalry is advocating the emperor." Yuan Shu also came from a family of officials and was ranked among the six heroes and should not be underestimated.
"That's right." Zhang Xun said, "It is precisely because the emperor does not want to do that, so Grand Master Wang dare not force himself."
Yuan Shu hit the nail on the head: "It's not that you dare not, but that you don't want to. If you threaten the emperor, what's the difference between the Grand Master Wang and the Bidding Dong?"
"General sees it clearly." Zhang Xun was convinced.
Yuan Shu's face showed a gloomy expression: "Ziqian, let's talk, what does Dong's cavalry mean?"
"My Duke Ming's intention is that the general should attack Liu Biao and attack Jiangxia." Zhang Xun replied.
"I wish to hear the details." Yuan Shu's heart moved.
Zhang Xun then told the secrets in the court: "Liu Jingzhou sent a different commander Kuai Yue to the court, asking for the "supervising the three states, Yang and Yi, and entrust them to the southeast, but what he has decided." What does the general think?"
"Liu Jingsheng is a thief who defends himself." Yuan Shu sneered and said with a grim temper: "Do you want to compare yourself with Xuande!"
Seeing that Yuan Shu was aroused by this, Zhang Xun became more and more confident: "Can you know who Kuai Yue is asking for?"
"It must be the father and son of the Cao family." Yuan Shu blurted out.
"Yes." Zhang Xun struck while the iron was hot and told his purpose: "Huainan has the convenience of the Yangtze River. You can attack Jiangxia from the top and Guangling from the bottom. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was infected with a serious illness and his life was not long. It was no longer a problem. However, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, had strong armor and sharp soldiers, and thousands of tower ships. He became a dictator in the southeast again. I expected that there would be a battle with the general. The military strategy said: 'Take the initiative first, and then the command on others.' General, you must observe."
"What a good one, take the initiative." Yuan Shu asked back: "Liu Biao's seven counties have 100,000 elite soldiers. One is only in the two counties, with tens of thousands of soldiers and armor. How can he fight against the enemy?"
"As the general said, Liu Biao is just a bandit who defends himself. Although he owns seven counties, he has troops to defend himself. He is the general of Jiangxia and has all entrust Huang Zu. If the general attacks, he will not be saved." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xun had such a clear view.
Seeing Yuan Shu was quite moved.
Zhang Xun also made a statement: "The general uses the troops of the two counties to attack the land of Huangzu and the other county. Even if he cannot win, he will not be defeated."
"What a good one, I can't win." Yuan Shu asked again: "If it's as Ziqian said, what's the point of doing with me?"
"Stop the war with war." Zhang Xun hit the nail on the head.
"Sima Fa": 'Therefore, killing people to calm people is enough to kill them; attacking their country and loving their people is enough to attack them; stopping war with war, even if they can fight.'" Yuan Shu also knew the art of war.
"General, see clearly." Zhang Xunsu bowed down and bowed. Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to say much.
However, Yuan Shu, after all, is not the same as before. It is far from the time of Luoyang, "the fierce ghost Yuan Changshui on the road."
"Zi Qian is young. Soon, I will have to worry about it." Yuan Shu said.
"Dare not obeying the order." Zhang Xun retreated.
Later, the subordinates gathered together.
Yuan Shu first asked: "Dong Chong sent an envoy, how could Xu Prime Minister know about it?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Xu Shao pretended to be profound.
It made everyone laugh.
Famous scholars are romantic and can be used by themselves, and Yuan Shu and you are proud of it, so how can you blame them?
"Dong respects his person, but he is only a middle-aged man. He has been in high positions for many times, but he cannot last long. Now he is a slander, who is to beautify the emperor. He is involved in the dispute between the Supreme Lord and will die." The chief clerk Yan Xiang asserted.
"Wang Yun, Cao Song, who is Dong's focus?" Yuan Shu must have this question.
"The people of Qi grabbed gold (note ①), and only profited (this) to draw the ears." Yan Xiang replied. The meaning of the words was that Dong Chong was only loyal to himself.
Yuan Shu asked again: "Since that's the case, how can Dong Chong benefit when I attack Jiangxia?"
"I think that 'the left and right meet the roots', and I want to benefit the two families." Yan Xiang replied again.
Chief Secretary Yang Hong then realized: "Be a lobbyist for the two families."
