Chapter 404

"Father, why did you only give Mr. Yuantu and Mr. Ziyuan only one hundred pieces of silk when you gave him two hundred pieces? I heard that the two gentlemen were not very happy, especially Mr. Ziyuan. "

In the governor's office of Yecheng, Yuan Xi, the second son of Yuan Shao, was puzzled about yuan shaodao. Yuan Shao had three sons. Yuan Tan, the eldest son, had been training in the army for a long time. As he grew older, he was able to take charge of his own affairs. Therefore, Yuan Shao was in charge of the south of his old nest, while his second son, Yuan Xi, was trained with the army. Yuan Shang, the youngest son, was still young and still studying.

"Ha ha, Xianyi, you are fair." Yuan Shao ha ha a smile: "Jizhou Treasury in the collection of rich, a mere 200 pieces of silk naturally nothing, but the father can not give."

Yuan Xi's face puzzled: "the child is stupid, please father's solution."

Yuan Shao patiently said: "Yuantu and Ziyuan are old ministers for their father. They followed someone since Luoyang. Now someone has obtained Jizhou, but they have granted Xunzi and juxu as their separate driving. If you are Yuantu or Ziyuan, what will you think in your mind?"

Yuan Xisi cabled: "of course, the two gentlemen worked hard and made great achievements, but the reason why my father got Jizhou was because Xun Chen was in charge of it. He contacted the officials of Jizhou to force Han Fu, and juxu was a senior scholar in Jizhou. His father won them in exchange for the support of Jizhou officials. If they were two gentlemen, I would understand."

Yuan Shaoxin, with a smile of relief, seized Yuan Xi's hand and sighed, "Xianyi, you are gentle, courteous and polite. You are a gentleman's talent. However, today, the world is full of heroes and the princes are fighting in a melee. Only those who have the ability can stand on it."

"Yuan Tu, the son is far from dissatisfied, because they are all angular people, full of talent and high self-esteem. They are dissatisfied with the importance of Ju teaching as a father, which is normal. If Yuantu and Ziyuan are of the same character as you, they will be rewarded with 200 pieces of silk each

Yuan Shao seriously explained to Yuan Xi: "Ziyuan, Yuantu, gongze and others are old ministers of Nanyang. They are connected with each other and become a school of their own. However, Xunzi and juxu were born in Jizhou, and they are also of the same school. Although juxu has not criticized Ziyuan and Yuantu, they have refuted their opinions. They must be dissatisfied. "

"The reason why the father was different last time was to make the two schools attack each other. In this way, they would try their best to do things for me and pay attention to a balance in the way of serving the emperor."

Yuan Shao, as the fourth generation of the three gongs, received formal education since childhood, which contains the way of imperial power, which is balance and the mean.

Yuan Xi suddenly realized: "I see. My child has been taught."

Yuan Shao nodded his head with satisfaction, and Yuan Xi said: "however, it is said that if you look at your subjects like your hands and feet, then your ministers will treat you like your heart; if you look at your subjects as if they are soil mustard, then you will see you as enemies. If a child is based on benevolence and righteousness, he will naturally return the favor to his subordinates. "

Yuan Shao's face sank: "is Xianyi saying that being a father is unkind?"

Yuan Xi panicked: "it's not so, just a child..."

Yuan Shao hummed: "well, you are good everywhere, but your character is too weak, and your elder brother is too strong."

Nature is balance. What kind of benevolence is? How do you know that others will be kind to you?

See Yuan Xi a look of fear, Yuan Shao and some can not bear: "just, you and go down, the father said today to think about, you know?"

"Well, late at night, father goes to bed early." Yuan Xi slightly bowed his head and retreated.

In this way, the Nanyang camp headed by Feng Ji, Guo Tu and Xu you, and Jizhou camp led by Ju Xun and Ju Xun came to an end for the first time, while Yuan Shao intentionally or unintentionally guided and controlled the internal friction in the camp. However, Yuan Shao did not go too far. After all, Gongsun Zan's soldiers are pressing on the border, and dealing with him is the first priority.

Because Yuan Shaogang had just been in Jizhou for a short time, people's hearts were not attached to Yuan Shao. In addition, the black mountain bandits never retreated from the drug department, and tens of thousands of troops had been staying at the border of Jizhou and Bingzhou. Therefore, people in Jizhou were in a state of panic.

Gongsun Zan took his cousin gongsunyue as the vanguard general and led 5000 iron cavalry to the south. The prefectures of Zhongshan state fell in the face of the wind. Therefore, Gongsun Yue left a small number of troops to take over the follow-up troops and forced to land on the neighboring counties such as Anping, Julu and Changshan. For a while, northern Jizhou was in danger.

However, at this critical juncture, Gongsun Yue did a great loss of popular support. Youzhou was originally a bitter and cold place, with a cold climate and a vast area of sparsely populated areas. Therefore, there was not much grain produced. Although Gongsun Zan broke down a million yellow turban thieves and took away grain, grass and supplies, he got very little. In addition, he was short of food and grass due to years of war.

Therefore, the more Gongsun did not fight and fell to Zhongshan, he immediately sent cavalry around to collect food. For a while, the state of Zhongshan was attacked by Gongsun's army.

Although Han Fu is weak in character, he has one advantage: he seldom invades other states and counties on his own initiative, so there is not much tax apportioned to the common people. Therefore, it is said that after Yuan Shao put Han Fu under house arrest, people in Jizhou are generally dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, which is the reason why Gongsun Yue easily won Zhongshan state.

The people of Jizhou had no bias towards Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao ruling Jizhou, and because of Yuan Shao's house arrest of Han Fu, Jizhou people even hoped Gongsun Zan could defeat Yuan Shao. However, Gongsun Yue threw a stone at his own feet and sent soldiers to collect food. The people of Jizhou were disappointed and expected Yuan Shao.When he heard that the state of Zhongshan had fallen without a war, Yuan Shao was greatly surprised. He quickly led the troops northward and arrived at the northern part of Julu County. Yuan Shao personally led the troops.

Gongsun Zan was impatient to launch an attack on Yuan Shao's army, and won the first battle. Relying on Baima general's reputation of winning many battles and superb command skills of light cavalry, the Jizhou army was defeated and thousands of people were lost.

Although Yuan Shao had a strong military force, only half of his lineage was directly attached to Yuan Shao. The morale of the remaining half of the Jizhou army was low.

Gongsun Zan was victorious, and baimayi's morale was high. General Yan Gang even led Bai Mayi to attack Yuan Shao's headquarters from the elite. Fortunately, Gao Lan led the halberds to fight for protection, which saved him from being robbed.

Yuan Shao followed Ju's advice and withdrew his troops to the line of Jieqiao, which was good for defense. Although Gongsun's army followed him, his offensive was intercepted.

When Baibu's army was killed, he was killed by Baijun.

Yuan Shao beat the drum himself, and the Jizhou army poured out. However, Gongsun's army was demoralized because Bai Mayi was severely damaged. After resisting for a while, he was defeated. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to beat the drum and beat the drum and lead his troops back to Youzhou.
