The state of Jin, Yecheng.
In the palace.
Today, Yuan Shao is in a state of anxiety all day, worried that Zhang Xiu's army will enter the state of Jin. The state of Jin has just experienced a turmoil in the Dajin bank. The loss of money is huge, and the people's hearts are also unprecedented.
Yuan Shao is not sure about Zhang Xiu. After all, the popular sentiment has not stabilized. Therefore, Yuan Shao now put his hope on Cao Cao and hoped that Cao Cao would send troops to rescue him. At the same time, Yuan Shao is looking forward to Zhang Xiu's attack.
After all, he didn't want to be his family against Zhang Xiu.
The original Yuan Shao, have been addicted to wine and sex, drinking for fun, life leisurely. But after Zhang Xiu's garrison at the border, Yuan Shao couldn't eat and sleep, and he lost his spirit in doing anything.
I'm afraid Zhang Xiu will kill me.
Once upon a time, he was powerful.
He can despise the princes of the world.
But now just a Zhang Xiu, he was helpless, Yuan Shao is very worried. Yuan Shaosong's crown, leaning down in the hall, seemed to collapse.
"Step on it! Step on it
The sound of hasty steps was heard from outside the side hall.
An attendant entered and reported, "Your Majesty, I beg to see you."
"Xuan!"
Yuan Shao gave an impatient order.
He leaned forward slightly, with an expectant look on his face. Now he is looking forward to good news. In a short time, he had already entered and bowed himself and said, "your majesty!"
Yuan Shao couldn't wait to ask: "juqing, is there any news about Cao Cao?"
"Yes!"
He nodded in reply.
Yuan Shao said, "but is it time to send troops?"
Ju said, "I'll tell your majesty that Cao Cao has sent someone to reply. He has sent his troops to the East County border. Once a war breaks out in the state of Jin, Cao Cao's troops will immediately enter the territory of Jin to rescue us. "
Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "why didn't Cao Cao let his troops directly enter the territory of Jin? If he directly enters the state of Jin, once Zhang Xiu comes, he can respond in the shortest time. "
He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not desirable!"
Yuan shaodao: "why?"
Ju zhengse said: "although Zhang Xiu's troops are stationed at the border of Hanoi county and may enter the state of Jin at any time, Zhang Xiu has not entered the state of Jin after all. At this time, there were two unfavorable factors for Cao Cao's troops to enter the state of Jin. "
Yuan Shao said, "which two?"
He replied, "first, it's not good for money saving. Now Cao Cao's troops are stationed at the border of Dongjun county. They provide food and grass by themselves. We have saved money and food. If Cao Cao's troops enter the state of Jin, we have to give them money and consume a lot of money. Second, once Cao Cao's troops enter the state of Jin, in case of any change, it will pose a threat to us and is not conducive to the security of the state of Jin. "
After a pause, he said, "so the best result is that Cao Cao's army stayed at the border of Dongjun."
Yuan Shao pondered carefully and said, "what juqing said is true, but you have to be prepared. Be careful of Zhang Xiu's army. This war is imminent and may happen at any time. "
"Don't worry, your majesty," he said. "The defense of all places, especially the border with Hanoi County, is better arranged. All the soldiers, horses and ministers are well arranged. "
Yuan Shao said, "I've worked hard for juqing."
"It's not hard to be humble," he said
Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "step back!"
He bowed and stepped down.
At this moment, Yuan Shao felt that a big stone had fallen to the ground. As soon as he thought of the colorful life in the harem, he could not help but go to the harem to fight the fire.
After Juzhi left the palace, he just arrived at the office, but saw Guo Tu enter. Guo Tu pretended to be uneasy and asked, "Mr. Ju, is there the latest news coming back?"
I went to see Yuan Shao earlier. He knew that.
Now, Guo Tu secretly turns to Zhang Xiu. Since he has become Zhang Xiu's man, he also accepts his own identity and wants to make contributions. Today, the decline of the state of Jin is already visible. Especially in the past few months, the taxes of Jin State have been greatly reduced, and even some soldiers in the army have fled, which is a mess.
This strengthened Guo Tu's idea of working for Zhang Xiu.
In addition, Zhang Xiu suddenly stationed troops at the border, Guo Tu thought that Zhang Xiu's army was about to kill, so he began active activities. On the one hand, it is to inquire about the news; on the other hand, it is to test people's minds to see if they can instigate rebellion against some people for Zhang Xiu.
He said directly: "it's true that the latest news has come back. Now Cao Cao has sent troops to the border of Dongjun. As long as Zhang Xiu's army enters the territory of Jin, Cao Cao will send troops to help immediately. "
"That's good, that's good!"
Guo Tu replied superficially, looking very happy. But the next moment, he said tentatively: "Lord Ju, the state of Jin and Zhang Xiu are going to war. Do you think we can resist it?""I can't resist it
I didn't hesitate to answer.
But after answering a sentence, suddenly, a light came across his eyes, staring at Guo Tu and asking, "Guo Tu, are you dissatisfied with your majesty because of the bank business, so you have another idea?"
"No way!"
Guo Tu shook his head and said, "nothing, but I'm worried. Mr. Ju, you and I are both smart people and can see into the situation. You should be clear about the current situation in the state of Jin. First, Dajin bank collapsed, and then his majesty slaughtered the people. After the outbreak of these two things, Dajin was extremely weak. I'm worried! "
Speaking of Dajin bank, he was very angry and scolded: "do you mean to say that if you didn't stop your majesty and the prince, it would be so? At the beginning, your majesty wanted to set up Dajin bank, and you agreed. In the end, you are in charge of Dajin bank, but Dajin also suffered a heavy loss. "
"I didn't know that would happen," Guo said. What's more, the collapse of Dajin bank is not my responsibility. As far as this matter is concerned, your majesty has a considerable responsibility, as do all the officials in the court. As for slaughtering the common people, that's the prince's suggestion. The prince wants to go his own way, and his majesty has approved it. "
When he heard this, he sighed dejectedly.
Now Zhang Xiu's troops are stationed at the border. The situation is quite bad, and she is worried about it. As Guo Tu said, there are many complaints in the Da Jin area, and the people have a lot of opinions on Yuan Shao.
Countless people have been slaughtered, countless money has been lost, many businessmen have gone bankrupt, and many people can't survive. What's more, some local people have become bandits.
It's just that these things are not big.
Therefore, Juzhi also arranged for people to suppress it, and did not report it to the higher authorities.
Guo Tu continued: "let me say that under the current situation, I'm afraid that even if there is Cao Cao's reinforcements, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu's troops will not be able to be stopped. We are in danger. "
Ju Shen said in a deep voice: "it's not that far. When it's really irresistible, I will suggest your majesty to ask Gongsun Zan for help. We have a hostile relationship with Gongsun Zan. But once the great Jin Dynasty was defeated, Gongsun Zan would be encircled by Zhang Xiu. But that's the final plan. "
Guo Tu's eyes twinkled.
This is very important news.
Guo Tu tried again and again several times. Unfortunately, what he showed in his words was his determination to fight to the end. It was impossible to surrender to Zhang Xiu.
So Guo Tu put out his mind.
He didn't persuade any more.
After Guo Tu digs off the topic, he doesn't talk to Ju Shi any more. He leaves the government office in a hurry, and then goes back to his residence to write a letter. Then Guo Tu arranges someone to send the news that Ju Shi might suggest Yuan Shao to ask for Gongsun Zan, so that Miao can send the news.
