Chapter 1318 Reverse scale
Yuan Shao was disturbed by the song and hated Sun Jian so much that he wanted to kill Sun Jian immediately. He did not want to delay for a moment, so he deployed tasks overnight and ordered the recruitment of nearby people, the cofferdam was stored and the water was flooded in Yicheng.
Ju Su expressed his opposition. Junyi's terrain is indeed suitable for water attacks, and Wang Ben's battle examples are ahead of the attacks. However, water attacks not only require a large amount of manpower and material resources, but also take time. It is impossible to succeed in less than half a year. There is no difference between it and not attacking without attacking. Instead of building a dam to store water, it is better to increase troops in Yingchuan and assist Yi and Xun Yan. They are confronting Huang Zhong. If they can increase 10,000 or 20,000 people, take down Yingchuan, harvest the winter wheat from the military farm in Xu County, and eat from the enemy. Only by solving the problem of military food supply can we confront Sun Jian and Sun Ce. If there is no support, Sun Ce will defeat Sun Ce at the city. If Sun Ce does not come to support, he will wait for Sun Jian to lose his grain to collapse. No matter how well he is prepared, how many years can he defend the city?
Yuan Shao refused to listen. He couldn't wait. He wanted to take the initiative to attack and force Sun Ce to help. Coincidentally, it was just two days after Yuan Shao issued the order to build the dam. The people sent to the dam had just taken the initiative to store water in the dam. The scouts came to report that Sun Ce left Gepi, with 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and was heading north.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed and was even more convinced that what he did was right. Ju Su advised him a few times, but when he saw that there was no effect, he had to sigh to the sky.
At this time, Guo Tu sent the news that he had received Zheng Xuan and was on the way to Junyi. Zheng Xuan was a great scholar. In order to show respect, Yuan Shao ignored Ju Su, Xu You and others' dissuasion, and under the protection of the elliptical soldiers, he went out to greet him for thirty miles.
The hordes were fully armed, standing on the side of the road holding the horde, without looking sideways, and their bodies were like pineapples. The ribbons on the hordes danced lightly in the spring breeze, which contrasted with the willow branches that had just spitted green on the roadside, and had a little more elegance in their mighty power.
Yuan Shao wore a scarf and a long gown. He looked like a general who commanded thousands of troops. He looked like a scholar who was well-educated with a white national face and neatly combed beard. The temperament of a noble man from a high school was fully displayed, and he could not pretend to be able to pretend. He stood by the roadside with his hands arched his hands, looking at the slowly coming carriage with a respectful expression. As soon as the carriage slowed down, he caught a step and stepped to the door. He was about to bow and bow to salute. When he saw the carriage at the moment, his heart suddenly felt a little sad.
The car windows are inlaid with crystal glazed glass, not just carved window edges.
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and a sense of uneasiness arose in his heart. At this time, the car door opened, Guo Tu walked out of it, got out of the car, gave Yuan Shao a wink, and laughed loudly: "Mr. Zheng, the leader of the alliance is here to welcome you in person."
Zheng Xuancang's voice came out. "The leader is so polite, I can't afford to be it."
Yuan Shao quickly squeezed out a bright smile and reached out to support Zheng Xuan. "Mr. Zheng is so famous that you are all over the world and have knowledge of ancient and modern times. Although Shao's family is passed down from the Meng family, he is not as good as the military and knowledge is a waste of time and dare not see Mr. Zheng. If it weren't for the busy military affairs, Shao should have gone to Beihai in person and came to the door to receive education. Now he has no choice but to call Mr. Zheng to be exhausted and be guilty of death."
Zheng Xuan held Yuan Shao's arm out of the car, walked side by side for a few steps, with Cui Yan and Zheng Xiaotong on both sides. Yuan Shao helped him to show respect, and he could not take it too seriously. Zheng Xuan glanced at Ju Su, Geng Bao and others, and gave him a nod to greet him, and came to the seat prepared by Yuan Shao. After rushing so far, he finally sat down for a while, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Yuan Shao apologized for the fatigue of the boat and the car.
Zheng Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, with this good car, I can still hold on."
Yuan Shao was already suspicious of the car, but he didn't want to ask. At this moment, he heard Zheng Xuan say the car was good, so he took advantage of the situation to ask. "The windows of Mr. Zheng's car are very unique. I wonder which master made them?"
Zheng Xuan was very surprised. Cui Yan had already told him that the car was sent by Yuan Tan. He thought it was Yuan Shao's order. At this moment, he was surprised to see Yuan Shao look confused. After thinking for a while, he realized that Yuan Tan might be ashamed of himself and did not meet Yuan Shao, so he went back to Yecheng directly. Thinking of the scene when Yuan Tan was asking about his studies in front of him, Zheng Xuan couldn't help feeling pity, stroked his gray beard and sighed softly.
"The general has a Jiaer, but it's a pity that his luck is wasted. This car was given by the man Xiansi, and I am really sorry."
Yuan Shao's heart suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly. He glanced at Guo Tu coldly and squeezed out a very unnatural smile. "Mr. Zheng praised him. Although this boy is stupid, he is a little loyal and filial. It's a pity that his knowledge is too poor and he is not as good as the righteous. If you have the chance in the future, please ask Mr. Zheng to give me some advice."
Zheng Xuan smiled. He had a very good impression of Yuan Tan, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao had something in his words and agreed with emotion.
After the hustle and bustle, Yuan Shao took the initiative to ask for the name of his disciple who followed Zheng Xuan. These people came with Zheng Xuan, naturally wanted to ask for a job. He naturally had to meet their requirements to show respect for Zheng Xuan, and then he could speak up for Zheng Xuan to do things.
Zheng Xuan first introduced Cui Yan, and he also specifically explained that Cui Yan was on the same journey as Yuan Tan and came from Pingyu.
Yuan Shao's mood, which was finally adjusted, suddenly became extremely bad, and his face turned a little blue. Yuan Shao invited Zheng Xuan not to ask for advice, but to hope that Zheng Xuan, a great scholar, would strengthen his momentum for him. Changing dynasties is a major event. Not only should he decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but he should also have enough influence in people's hearts. He should find a way to prove that he is the destiny of heaven, which is in line with Confucian theories such as the Three Unifications and the Five Virtues. Sun Ce also knew to find someone to argue about the story of Yu Yudanzhu, and spared no expense to let Cai Yong write history in Xiangyang. Naturally, he could not speak for himself and wanted to find a great scholar with great importance to support his appearance.
Cai Yong was knowledgeable, known as a Confucian scholar, with only a few more knowledgeable people than him, and Zheng Xuan was undoubtedly one of them. Yuan Shao had always suspected that Sun Ce sent Shen You to seize Qingzhou, not only to grab territory, but also to steal Zheng Xuan. Now that Zheng Xuan was sent here by Yuan Xi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Yuan Tan actually took the lead and gave Zheng Xuan a car, which won Zheng Xuan's favor.
Needless to say, he must have been Guo Tu's plan. No wonder he actively sent the body to Chenliu, it turned out to be for this matter.
Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but he didn't say a word to Guo Tu, just pretending that Guo Tu didn't exist. Guo Tu was mentally prepared and didn't say anything, but just stayed with a smile. Geng Bao saw it in his eyes and sneered secretly. He walked with Cui Yan for several days, but he didn't mention Cui Yan after seeing Yuan Shao. Now Guo Tu brought Cui Yan to Yuan Shao. Wouldn't he deliberately cause trouble for him? Seeing Yuan Shao's displeasure at this moment, he naturally enjoyed seeing it.
