Chapter 707 The hunt for Yuan Shao begins! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
In Gan County, Jizhou, a military intelligence meeting is being held at the frontline command center.
Sima Lang, the army staff officer, held a stack of documents and read them carefully:
"Since Kong Beihai's article spread all over the country, famous scholars and scholars from all over the country have expressed their opinions, thinking that Yuan Benchu has no king's laws and cannot eat food. Although the king is rich, he has a disobedient heart. He is ashamed of the Yuan family's ancestors and even writes to the court, asking your majesty to execute Yuan Shao to comfort the spirits of the Yuan family's ancestors in heaven. "
Although Kong Rong was not good at fighting. crotch, but after all, he is a direct descendant of Confucius, and he has a celebrity aura. Coupled with his outstanding literary talent, his articles are written with emotion and emotion, which attracts the response of nobles all over the world.
Of course, this kind of response is also mixed with selfishness. The Yuan family's reputation has always been too great, which has caused other aristocratic families to be suppressed. So when they seize this opportunity, they naturally want to beat the loser and increase their reputation.
In addition, Yuan Shao has been writing a lot of letters asking for help recently. To the officials from various places where Yuan was born, he ordered them to send troops and food to help; There was no lack of domineering attitude at all; only towards the princes from all over the country, he suddenly became flattering, either calling him brother or calling him a certain Duke, with a flattering tone.
The people who received the letter naturally did not want to wade into this muddy water, especially those court officials who had done a good job in the local area, and now Yuan Shao suddenly wrote a letter.
Don’t respond. After all, I got my official position through Yuan’s connections.
But if you respond, you are likely to be dragged into the water, and your future, including your family, will be completely ruined.
Although the social atmosphere at that time was that every drop of kindness would be repaid by a spring, but when it came to actual interests, there was some hesitation.
At this time, Kong Rong published an article scolding Yuan Shao. Not only did he scold Yuan Shao thoroughly, but he also listed him as a traitor to the country.
When this hat is removed, countless people who have received Yuan Shaoxin will be happy.
Brother Benchu, it’s not that I won’t help you, but that you are now a traitor and a traitor. If I want to help, it will be tantamount to siding with the enemy and will be spurned by the world’s scholars.
Some people directly took out the letter Zhuge Liang wrote six months ago to criticize Yuan Shao, separated Yuan Shao from the Yuan family, and called Yuan Shao a scum of the Yuan family.
With this article as a foreshadowing, everyone will be more confident, because we have official status due to the kindness of the Yuan family and have nothing to do with you, Yuan Shao.
Of course, there are also a few disciples and former officials of the Yuan family who left their homes and careers and came all the way to Nanpi, intending to do their best for Mr. Yuan.
However, before these people arrived in Nanpi, they were arrested and sent to various construction sites or mines, where they were forced to reform their minds through labor.
Although some fish that slipped through the net broke through the blockades and finally reached the Jerusalem in their hearts - Nanpi County, they were ignored by Yuan Shao because they did not bring many people and horses, and the food and grass were close to nothing. It feels like something that should come doesn't come, something that shouldn't come comes like a blind chicken.
Under several attacks, Yuan Shao's reputation plummeted.
Yuwen Chengdu seized the opportunity to launch a public opinion war again, asking the aristocratic families in Yecheng to stand up and accuse Yuan Shao. If his words were not convincing enough, he would confiscate 10% of the land.
The aristocratic families in Yecheng had already had most of their land taken away by the imperial court. If it were to be taken away by force, they would not be able to maintain their family business.
So for the sake of their families and their status, each of these aristocratic families burst into tears and accused Yuan Shao of the evil things he had done, such as taking other people's concubines, forcibly confiscating grain and grass, forcibly levying corvee labor, etc. Anyway, in their mouths, Yuan Shao had not done any personnel work in Yecheng for more than a year.
To stink a person is to make him even breathe wrongly.
Although Yuwen Chengdu has not been in the real world for a long time, he is no stranger to this kind of operation. Several hot spots of public opinion on the Internet have been created in this way.
Now, he is using the Internet public opinion war of the 21st century to deal with a descendant of a noble family in 191 AD. It is definitely a dimensionality-reducing blow.
Next, Ma Teng and others who had participated in the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance came forward one after another to express their opinions, accusing Yuan Shao of various tricks during the original princes alliance.
The victim Zhang Miao was jumping up and down, preaching Yuan Shao's unkindness and unrighteousness. Tao Qian and others also echoed their voices. They even brought Cao Ahao out, saying that it was Cao Cao who organized everyone at that time and paid for it. It was Zhang Miao who contributed the effort, and Yuan Shao took away the position of alliance leader without any merit, which is really disgraceful.
Normally speaking, this matter will not cause much trouble in more than a month.
But now the imperial court has an intercom system. Once someone expresses his position, it will spread quickly, and in some places where communications are developed, a bound volume of Yuan Benchu has appeared.
The surfing experts of the 21st century are still a little confused when faced with the bound book, let alone Yuan Benchu, who is simply unable to refute.
Under this kind of public opinion, Cao Aman had to stand up and express his position. He came up and said that he was sworn in with those who split the Han Dynasty. The meaning was obvious. It is okay for everyone to fight life and death, but you want to split. Big man, don’t even think about it!
Liu Yu was scolded along with Yuan Shao.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with him, but this guy couldn't figure it out, and he unexpectedly sent troops to mediate without knowing what he could do. Now, his good reputation was suddenly gone.
The great scholars Cai Yong and Lu Zhi each expressed their doubts about Liu Yu in the court.
Liu Yu has always said that the government of Youzhou under his rule is harmonious and people do not close their doors at night and do not pick up lost things. However, at the same time, foreign tribes continued to go south to loot money, and their soldiers even went to Jinan County, Pingyuan County, and Yecheng.
Isn’t it contradictory to say that the people live and work in peace and contentment and support them enthusiastically even though they have been plowed repeatedly by foreigners?
In the late Han Dynasty, reputation-building reached a pathological level. Everyone generally followed the principle of not asking for the truth and not questioning the authenticity. Now that a great scholar is taking the lead in questioning, it is obvious that this is about to be liquidated.
Some discerning intellectuals also began to question Liu Yu, especially the hawkish families in the Chang'an area.
Damn it, we want to kill the aliens without even being able to touch them, but you Youzhou allows them to dominate. This is like a courier pushing a box - it's really a big item!
Zongzheng of the Liu family wanted to speak for Liu Yu, so Guo Jia came to visit that night and didn't leave until midnight. He didn't know what they talked about. On the contrary, the next day, Zongzheng changed his attitude and wanted to kill Liu Yu's whole family. Who would dare to speak for Liu Yu? Liu Yu would scold anyone he spoke.
Under such public opinion, Yuan Shu also jumped out to cooperate. As the head of the Yuan clan, he deprived Yuan Shao of all his identities. He also said that Yuan Shao was a traitor and a traitor. He advised him to surrender to the court as soon as possible and not to humiliate Yuan Shao. The lintel of the clan.
Yuan Shu did this because he felt that Yuan Shao was finished and wanted to inherit Yuan Shao's reputation and political legacy, especially the reputation of the Fourth and Third Duke and the disciples of the Yuan family.
But what he didn't know was that when this kind of internal strife broke out, it was not Yuan Shao himself who collapsed, but the entire Yuan family.
If the heir of a family engages in internal strife, doesn't this give an opportunity to competitors?
All in all, Yuwen Chengdu relied on the intercom system to quietly launch a vigorous public opinion war in the Three Kingdoms world.
From the beginning to now, it has only been just over a month, but Yuan Shao has been ruined. Even if he does not die in the future, there is no hope of making a comeback.
Sima Lang said:
“According to the intelligence we have, Nanpi’s soldiers escape every day, ranging from dozens to hundreds. They are all people who spurn Yuan Shao. People in the late Han Dynasty paid great attention to moral conduct, and a good reputation could attract help from people all over the world. For example, when Lao Guan was hit by an arrow in his arm, Hua Tuo took the initiative to help cure his illness. , leaving behind the legend of scraping bones to cure poison.
But for people with a bad reputation, even if you have a lot of money, people with noble character will leave you.
For example, Ah Man was abandoned by his first love, Chen Gong, because of his poor character. Later, he would rather assist Lu Bu, who only had muscles in his brain, but he also looked down upon Cao Cao.
After hearing the report, Yuwen Chengdu opened the battle plan for hunting Yuan Shao that he and Xun You had made before, and prepared to close the net.
Taking advantage of the current nationwide denunciation of Yuan Shao, destroy the Lord of the North in the original work and end the Battle of Jizhou.
Cao Xing said:
"We rushed directly along the Qingshui River to Nanpi and launched a blitzkrieg attack on Nanpi County. We should be able to resolve the battle within three days, right?"
Sima Lang read the battle plan several times recently and shook his head. Said:
"This strategy can be used against others, but it is inappropriate to use it against Yuan Benchu... Yuan Benchu calls himself a hero. As a hero, you have to defeat him in an upright manner, and then he will be convinced. His support The fans will also be relieved. If it is a sneak attack, Yuan's disciples and former officials may always worry about it, which will be a hidden danger sooner or later."
Sima Lang's mission in this expedition was originally to persuade Cao Cao to surrender. But Ah Man has never fought with his own side, and until now, he has not had the chance to persuade him to surrender.
However, during this period, I learned a lot of skills in analyzing the battle situation from Yuwen Chengdu. Although I did not personally command the army, being able to analyze the battle situation is an improvement in itself.
At this time, the walkie-talkie next to him rang, and Xun You's voice came from inside:
"The army set up defenses layer by layer and surrounded Nanpi. They first attacked with gongs and drums face to face for several rounds, and then waited for Nanpi to defend. When the army is exhausted, let the army sing Runan songs together... Yuan Benchu naturally understands the situation now. He wants dignity, so let's give him dignity. Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was besieged on all sides. Let's make a replica to save face. It’s enough, he has to go on the road even if he doesn’t want to.”
Yuwen Chengdu picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“I think so too, this battle is important, Mr. Gongda should also participate. "
Xun You and Huang Zhong have just captured Zhangwu County in Bohai County. This county is directly north of Nanpi, and it happens to be attacking Nanpi County from both sides with Yuwen Chengdu.
Of course, the Hejian County to the west of Nanpi County also has troops stationed by the imperial court. The entire Nanpi County has already been surrounded by the imperial army, and there is no way to rush out. Xun You's battle plan made all the generals realize that the ensuing siege should be very brutal.
Because this is Yuan Shao's curtain call performance, and it is also to relieve the regrets in the hearts of Yuan's disciples.
After this battle, Yuan Shao died, and everyone no longer cared about him. From now on, they can do whatever they have to do, and there is no need to worry about it all the time.
Song Xian raised his hand and asked:
“What if Yuan Shao disguised himself as a soldier and escaped?”
Yuwen Chengdu picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the Xinyang Maojian brought from the real world and said:
"Then take a prisoner who looks like him and execute him as Yuan Shao, as long as everyone believes that Yuan Shao is dead. , then even if he runs around in Chang'an, he is still a dead person in everyone's eyes and will not have any impact."
Song Xian said it clearly:
"I understand, fakes are a good thing. Things... But if Yuan Benchu really dares to go to Chang'an for fun, Mr. Fengxiao will definitely not mind letting him be the general teacher."
Don't think about it easy if it falls into Guo Jia's hands.
Now that the tactics have been formulated, the next step is to assign combat tasks.
Several armies are gathering towards Nanpi County. There are many people but little effort, so they need to fight for it.
Cao Xing took the lead in asking for a battle:
"Since this battle is to bid farewell to Yuan Benchu, then our artillery should not bully others. I request to lead a team to attack the city and let our artillery demonstrate their close combat skills. ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Xian:
"You can pull it down. Artillery is so valuable. It's hard to train them to learn how to calculate parabolas. This will cost you a lot. The general can take off your pants, hang you up and beat you."
Cao Xingye He knew that the artillery had little chance of participating in the war, but he still had to fight for it:
“Our artillery can’t do it, but your military band can do it?”
Song Xian shrugged:
"I didn't say yes, I'm going to learn Runan's nursery rhymes and folk songs, and try to give Yuan Benchu a tear gas... Do you think Yuan Shao would feel it if I asked people to shout "Malan Blossoms" together? ?”
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and played "Ma Lanhua twenty-one, two eight two five six, two eight two five seven, two eight two nine thirty one..."
Yu Wen Chengdu laughs He said:
"This nursery rhyme is not from the Han Dynasty. If you ask someone to shout it out, Yuan Shao will only find it incomprehensible... Unfortunately, there is no Henan opera yet, and Henan operas such as "Chaoyanggou" can no longer be played... ...Ask if there are any Runan people in the army. If there are none, use nursery rhymes from Luoyang."
Yuan Shao grew up in Luoyang and is considered half a Luoyang native. He will definitely listen to the nursery rhymes from his childhood. Very emotional.
But there is no hurry right now, you can ask around slowly.
After talking about this matter, Yuwen Chengdu began to assign troop dispatching tasks.
The men and horses of the camp in Gan County marched towards Nanpi in five routes, advancing simultaneously by land and water, not giving Yuan Shao any chance to counterattack.
When the captains of each battalion were ordered to leave, Cao Xing asked in a low voice:
"General Yuwen, if Guo Tu and others surrender on their own initiative, what should be done?"
Yuwen Chengdu said:
"If Jushou, Xin Ping, and Feng Ji surrender, it is acceptable, but if it is Guo Tu, it is best to let him take the initiative to bury Yuan Shao... There is something wrong with this person's mentality. Even if he surrenders to the court, something will happen to him in the future. Moreover, Yuan Shao’s death needs to be buried to be perfect, and at the same time it can eliminate the guilt in the hearts of Yuan’s disciples.”
At any time, people are lenient to themselves and strict with others. Yuan Shao is dead. Later, if no one was buried, those disciples and old officials would regret their own weakness and not accompany Yuan Gong on his final journey.
But if someone is buried, they will feel that Yuan is not alone on the road. We have role models, so we don’t have to worry about this matter.
In short, the purpose of the army to surround Yuan Shao is not to execute Yuan Shao at all, but to reassure Yuan's disciples and former officials. Only in this way will they not cause trouble under the control of guilt and regret.
Cao Xing made an OK gesture:
"Obviously, if there is a chance to catch Guo Tu, we will let him take the initiative to bury Yuan Shao."
"Be careful about your methods and don't let others see it."
"Don't worry, general. This is the tradition of our army, and it is definitely more real than committing suicide."
On the other side, in Huang County, Donglai County, Ma Chao arrested officials who had a grudge against Tai Shici.
He thought he had some deep grudge, but after asking, he learned that when Taishi Ci was serving as an official in Donglai County, in order to change the county governor, the state got some materials and sent them to Luoyang to prepare for the crime of the county governor. , Taishi Ci ran to the gate of Luoyang City in advance to wait, tore the materials into pieces, and then was hated by others and was forced to leave his hometown.
It is not the behavior of a gentleman to avenge private hatred... After hearing this, Kong Rong became bookish again and was ready to let his men beat these people severely.
Ma Chao did not agree, because even if they were beaten, these people would still hold grudges against Tai Shici. He directly contacted Xu Rong and made a transfer order to transfer all these officials and their families. Bingzhou border pass.
Relatively speaking, this is a conspiracy.
Going to the border, I have no foundation, plus I have a record of reporting on my colleagues, I will definitely not be welcomed. The conditions at the border are difficult, which can be regarded as the purpose of punishment.
If you don’t go, it will be a rebellion, so you can take your time to deal with it.
Of course, they can also resign, but without their official status, they are not at the mercy of others.
Ma Chao brought a lot of things to Tai Shici's mother, including everything for food, including two boxes of longan, lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge, which were in short supply.
He opened it and let the old lady have a taste. The old man, who was over fifty years old, only took one bite and then hurriedly tried to reseal the lid:
"I want to leave it for Ci'er. Well, he has never eaten such delicious food since he was a child."
Ma Chao said:
"You have to eat it before you open it, otherwise it will spoil. When Brother Ziyi comes, there will be a lot of delicious food. You can eat it. The more you eat, the happier Brother Ziyi will be."
Kong Rong looked at it and sighed with emotion:
"Such a loving mother and a filial son, but I allowed the traitor to frame Ziyi for many years. I feel really guilty."
The great man ruled the world with filial piety, so pure and filial. The person was right next to him, but Kong Rong didn't notice it and felt that he was very derelict in his duty.
Leaving Huang County, Ma Chao and Kong Rong continued eastward to Dongmou County, between Yantai and Weihai, to determine the location for building a dock.
Here, Kong Rong finally realized the magnanimity and grandeur of "facing Jieshi in the east to view the sea".
Ma Chao looked at the map and finally felt that it would be better to build a dock city at the location of Weihai in later generations. Firstly, there is an excellent harbor here. In addition, Weihai is relatively flat near Weihai and there are a few hills around it. It is a good place to build wind turbines.
In the future, this place will become a naval base to prepare for overseas expeditions.
Isn’t there a swamp in Liaodong that is difficult to break through? Then go directly by boat. Not only can you level Liaodong County and Lelang County, but you can also level the Bangzi Peninsula to prevent them from planning the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future.
When Ma Chao was talking about this, Li Shimin from the Sui and Tang Dynasties was also staring at the Goguryeo area on the map with his little hands behind his back.
He had recently downloaded several Bangzi historical dramas in his free time, and found that it was exactly as the third wife said. He, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was blinded by the wise and powerful general of the Bangzi Kingdom. He even knelt down and begged before he was spared by Goguryeo. Live a life.
The little guy was furious, but unfortunately he is not strong enough now to carry out the expedition.
He was walking around, and when he was thinking about how to vent his anger, he suddenly saw himself in the mirror... Hey, I can't take revenge here, but I can in Journey to the West!
This guy quickly copied several movies and TV series to the mobile hard drive, planning to let Xuanzang take it back to give Li Shimin a little strength over there...
