Chapter 189 Putting aside conflicts and temporarily uniting
Yecheng, the General's Mansion, the three brothers Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang looked at the battle report. This came from Bohai County. In less than ten days, Yangxin fell, and the surrounding Leling, Chonghe, and Gaocheng were all suffering. When it came to looting, the number of people lost was probably more than 4, the food was thousands of shi, and the property totaled more than [-] gold.
"Who is the enemy?" Yuan Tan asked angrily, "Don't tell me that Cao Cao crossed Qingzhou and attacked Yangxin?"
Yuan Shang looked at him with a grim expression, and continued to look at the map without saying a word. He and his elder brother were already at odds with each other, and he didn't want to talk to him.
Fortunately, Yuan Xi smoothed things over: "We don't know who it is, but it is said that the enemy came from the sea and took a big ship."
Yuan Tan immediately looked at Yuan Xi, "Come from the sea? You can't be wrong, right? As far as I know, it seems that only Liaodong has crossed the sea to attack Donglai."
None of the Yuan brothers are mediocre. As a well-educated family in the late Han Dynasty, even the playboy Yuan Shu is not an ordinary person.In Yuan Shao's generation, there are many brothers, the least talented is Yuan Shu, and the other brothers are not ordinary people.Yuan Shao will not talk about it, the king of Hebei!
Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu's younger brother, that is, his cousin. He has been with Yuan Shu all the time, and he became the prefect of Danyang, but he was defeated by Sun Ce.Originally in history, he would carry Yuan Shu's coffin to join Liu Xun after Yuan Shu's death.However, because Zhang Yi attacked Shouchun, Yuan Yin and Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi slipped out and went to Liu Xun directly.After Liu Xun failed, the two of them also followed Liu Xun to Xuchang, and now they work in the imperial court as Doctor Guanglu.
Yuan Yin's talent is stronger than Yuan Shu's, but because Yuan Shu is the eldest son, Yuan Yin can only follow Yuan Shu.
Yuan Yi was Yuan Shao's elder brother and was the prefect of Shanyang when he challenged Dong.Later, Yuan Shu attacked Chenliu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined forces and defeated Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu arrived in Jiujiang County.Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou at that time, died. One said he died of illness, another said he was killed by Yuan Shu.Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Yi as the governor of Yangzhou, but he was defeated by Yuan Shu on the way to take office. When he withdrew his troops to Pei County, he was killed by rebel soldiers.
The three Yuan brothers of the younger generation were not mediocre. They had received the best education since they were young, and Cao Cao knew how to train them, so that they would lead troops to fight early, and each of them had someone around them to teach them.So even if they are idiots, they are also idiots with gold and jade.
They may not have much talent in great wisdom, but there is no problem in small wisdom.Yuan Tan is still very familiar with the Qingzhou he is in charge of. Although he doesn't plan to stay there permanently, he still has to make preparations to notify all places.
And Yuan Xi is not a fool, "It should not be Gongsundu. He can protect himself now. It is impossible to have extra troops to attack Yangxin. You must know that Wuhuan has become active again since Gongsun Zan's time. We have enough work resisting Wuhuan. Besides, Yangxin has four to five thousand soldiers and horses, and Gongsundu cannot have so many people."
"Who could it be?" Yuan Shang also became curious, "Who else can build so many big ships?"
"It seems to be true!" Yuan Tan said: "I heard that Zhang Yi once sent people to capture Sun Yi, Sun Jing and others at sea."
"Zhang Yi?" Yuan Xi thought for a while, feeling impossible, "If Zhang Yiyuan is in Jiangdong, he has no reason to attack us at all! If I remember correctly, he seems to be fighting against Cao. Even if we are not friends, But there is also the same enemy, and Zhang Yi should not be unaware of the reason for the long-distance friendship and the short-distance attack!"
"So he is fighting under the banner of Cao Cao!" Yuan Tan said.
"Then what is his purpose for saying that?" Yuan Shang said, "Isn't it because we are united that we can deal with Cao Cao better?"
Yuan Xi seemed to know something, he looked at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and said softly: "Perhaps he did this to unite us?"
"What do you mean?" Yuan Tan asked.
Yuan Xi said: "Since Xianfu took over as the general, our Yuan family seems to have separated. Fengji, Shenpei, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu are hostile to each other, and it has become like fire and water. When Cao Cao attacked Yecheng, they still With some restraint, Cao Cao didn't evacuate shortly before they got old again!"
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang looked at each other with some embarrassment. In fact, these four people supported both of them.Feng Ji was killed by Yuan Tan because of his struggle for power and profit.Yuan Xi deliberately mentioned Feng Ji, in fact, he was talking about the two of them clearly.Yuan Xi didn't point it out, and just saved face for the two of them.
Yuan Shang is a great general, and he actually doesn't want to compete with Yuan Tan. After all, he has already got the best one, so Yuan Tan killed Feng Ji and he didn't tear himself apart with Yuan Tan, and he acquiesced to Yuan Tan's car and cavalry general. Position.So as long as Yuan Tan doesn't do too much, he doesn't plan to do anything to Yuan Tan. After all, Yuan Tan is his elder brother and the eldest son.
He felt that what Yuan Xi said made sense, so he asked, "Then what should we do?"
Yuan Xi said: "In terms of talents, we are not as good as my father. My father can't beat Cao Cao even with so many capable ministers and generals. If we want to defeat Cao Cao, let alone think about it. Now we must abandon our prejudices and unite."
Yuan Tan seemed to feel that what Yuan Xi said was more correct, so he asked, "How do you get rid of prejudice?"
Yuan Xi said: "We need to invite someone to preside over the overall situation!"
"Who?" Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang asked.
"Ju Gong!"
Ju Gong is Ju Shou!Originally, Jushou should have died when Guandu was defeated.But because Zhang Yi pulled Cao Cao's hind legs from behind, when Cao Cao pursued Yuan Shao, he did not pursue Yuan Shao thoroughly, and was escaped by Jushou.Later, Tian Feng was killed, and Jushou was discouraged, so he was no longer in charge, but he has been living in Yecheng.
When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang heard this, they both felt that this person was good.Jushou can be said to be the most prestigious person in Yecheng. He was originally the most famous and most powerful person under Yuan Shao's subordinates.It's just that he doesn't have the flattery of the other four, so Yuan Shao doesn't obey him very much.If Yuan Shao had obeyed him, he would not have been defeated and died.
So the three brothers went to see Jushou in person, and Jushou was also very happy to see the three brothers suddenly let go of their prejudices and came.No matter what, they are all Yuan Shao's sons, no matter what, Yuan Shao is his lord!As long as the three of them can keep doing this, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Cao Cao.
