Chapter 3 Visiting Sages

As soon as these words were finished, Yuan Shu said meaningfully, but Yuan Yao was puzzled.

“Why is this?”

After the words came, Yuan Shu smiled and slowly explained: "Yaoer, do you know that since Guangwu revived the capital in Luoyang, the Guanxi tyrants have formed two forces with the Guandong gentry. Due to political disagreements and interest disputes, the two sides have been in the same situation and have been fighting openly and secretly for nearly a hundred years."

"It happened that my Yuan family was also the leader of the Kanto clan and had always dominated the struggle with Kanta. Yaoer might not know that when Situ Cui Lie suggested giving up Liangzhou, the plan behind it was your grandfather's plan, and the purpose was to completely expel the Kanta scholars from the court. Now do you understand why our army cannot use Guanzhong as its foundation?"

As soon as this statement fell, Yuan Yao was suddenly shocked.

The Kansai tribes and the Kansdong tribes in the Eastern Han Dynasty had formed a factional struggle?

He really doesn't know this.

But he understood one thing, according to his father's words, that is, Kansai and Kanto are already in the same power, and both sides hate it to the core.

The Yuan family really took over Guanzhong and went deep into the territory of the Guanxi nobles. They might be deeply excluded in the court. Not only will it be difficult to develop, they may have difficulty in strides.

Seeing that his son was still confused, Yuan Shu calmed down and explained patiently again: "Yaoer, in fact, over the past hundred years, the gentry of our Kanto has steadily suppressed the Guanxi tribes in the court. If Zi moved west today, the political center is facing west, and the Guanxi tribes are all happy to hear it, how could they sit and wait for us to share the food?"

Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed: "Oh, it's a pity that this alien species of Dong Zhe has emerged, which has caused great damage to the power of our Kanto gentry and great damage to our vitality."

When he mentioned Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he wished he could eat his flesh raw.

After all, Dong Zhuo's butcher knife uprooted the Yuan family's power in the capital, and hundreds of lives were also killed.

This is already a great feud for life and death!

After a while, Yuan Yao was full of thoughts. He received many messages from these words. After a moment, he couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "But, since Dong Zhe is a native of Guanxi, why did his uncle propose to invite Dong Zhe into Beijing?"

“Not controlled!”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yin said in a deep voice.

Yuan Yin, who was standing by, couldn't help but take the conversation and explained: "Yaoer, you are still young. You used to be unemployed and didn't know much about everything. Although Dong's thief's power is spread throughout the Guanzhong area, his ancestral home is from Yingchuan, Yuzhou. He also joined my Yuan family in his early years and became an old official. He was able to be granted the title of Bingzhou governor after the Qiang Rebellion, which also came from the recommendation of our Yuan family."

"And my brother is determined to control the government and take charge of military and political power. To be honest, if you just want to simply get rid of the Ten Constables, how easy is it to be with the strength of our Yuan family? Why should you use the foreign army?"

"But he took the opportunity to lead foreign troops into Beijing to control the court and realize his ideals and ambitions."

"But none of us expected that Dong Zhe, a member of the Yuan family, who had received great favor from my Yuan family, would turn against Luoyang after he entered Luoyang, and even faced your father and uncle with swords."

After Yuan Shu and Yuan Yin's analysis, Yuan Yao gradually figured out the interests and the layers of calculations behind it.

After savoring it, Yuan Yao asked again: "Why do you have to support Dong Zhuo?"

"this……"

No one responded to this question.

It can't be said that their Yuan family wants to support foreign troops and help the court, but they invested in the wrong person, right?

How could such a shame be mentioned in front of the younger generation? So it would be better not to mention it!

"Then the child is conceiving a new strategic plan, but the child thinks that Nanyang County is located in the Nanyang Basin, with a flat horse, and there is no danger around it but it is surrounded by strong enemies. It is not suitable for development as a basic platform. I hope my father will pay attention to it!"

Seeing that they all ignored this issue, Yuan Yaosui stopped worrying, but instead solemnly turned to propose.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yao was about to say goodbye and leave, but Yuan Yin on the side couldn't help asking: "Yaoer, I heard that you have been immersed in the military all day for the past month, but you are not acquainted with poetry, books, and strategies, right?"

"Yes. My nephew thought that in this chaotic world, we should be a general who can roam the battlefield, rather than a scholar who is useless in a boastful way."

After hearing this, Yuan Yao had long expected to be questioned like this, so he had already prepared his words for response. At this time, he refuted righteously, and every word was reasonable and he did not give his uncle a chance to refute at all.

"this……"

Yuan Yin was blocked for a moment. He had prepared a lot of words to persuade him to read poetry and books, but at this time he didn't know where to start.

When Yuan Yao left, Yuan Yin and Yan Xiang couldn't help but feel curious about Yuan Yao, and then said separately: "Lord, brother, it seems that the young master has really been very different this month than before."

"Well. It's indeed much more mature and stable than before, but the battlefield is extremely dangerous. I have this only one under my knees. How can I let him fight on the battlefield?"

With Yuan Yao's extraordinary performance today, Yuan Shu was also very pleased. His son finally stopped stumbleing on his life, but knew how to share his worries and had a future.

But Yuan Shu was still worried about the insistence on training troops.

...

Leave the General's Mansion.

Yuan Jiao, who was waiting outside, rushed over and smiled and said, "Young Master, where are you going next?"

"Go back to the army... go to the taverns we passed by before the market."

After saying that, Yuan Yao put on a horse and ran away first.

When he came before, he seemed to have found that there were many literati and poets gathered in the taverns around the market. Yuan Yao went there and wanted to try his luck to see if he could meet one or two talented people...

Looking at the back of his young master, Yuan Jiao, the personal guard, was a little puzzled, shook his head and said, "What has the excitement from the young master this month? Why are you acting so weird?"

"In the past, I never entered the military camp and never worried about military and political affairs. Now I feel like I have changed..."

Of course, no matter how much he complained, he quickly followed.

...

In the tavern.

On a cushion made of a large case, several middle-aged scholars were drinking happily while having a good conversation.

During this period, a young man who was about seven feet and five inches long and was over 20 years old couldn't help but say: "When today is in chaos, Sun Wentai, the brave and fighting tiger under the general's command, unfortunately died in the city of Xiangyang. It was like the general who broke the back and the arm of the army!"

"Although Nanyang is a rich place, the terrain is too smooth and enemies on all sides. It is still acceptable as a strategic center, but it cannot be used as a foundation. You think where should the general develop in the next place?"

After the words finished, a young man next to him held the wine jury and said with a smile: "Why, Brother Cui is planning to become a senior general?"

"Haha." After this sentence fell, the rest of the people couldn't help but laugh.

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, the young man laughed twice, then said with a smile: "It won't prevent us from discussing the world situation if we don't take office."

"Too."

After saying that, the young man should first agree: "I think the later general should reorganize his army and prepare for war, and advance north to play to his own advantages. The Yuan family's four generations and three masters are all famous all over the world. If they can swallow the Central Plains in one fell swoop, they will be able to achieve hegemony!"

"When I am carrying the power of the Central Plains to conquer Jingxiang in the south, why worry about not being able to annex the seven counties of Jingzhou?"

"Yeah, that's the most true."

"Brother Xu's words are reasonable."

After the words were finished, the rest of the people thought about it carefully and couldn't help but praise it.

After a while, several young scholars were talking to each other.

After a while, they looked at the young man called Brother Cui and asked: "But I wonder if Brother Cui has different opinions?"

Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Cui looked at the crowd and smiled and said, "I really have some stupid opinions if you are despised, so let's discuss it with you."

After the words finished, he pondered for a moment and said, "I think that now that the general was defeated in the south of Jingxiang, his morale and morale have been greatly affected. It is difficult to expand the results of the war when he goes north to the Central Plains. Moreover, there are many powerful people in the Central Plains, how can he easily pacify it?"

"What's more, the Central Plains have a large area of ​​land and abundant resources. They are adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and the Ji, Qing, You and other places on the north bank, and go west and connect the counties in Guanzhong one after another. If the Western Liang army comes out of the pass and attacks with knights, how should we concentrate on developing?"

Speaking of this, he said with a slight tone: "So, I think the later general should lead people to migrate to Huainan, and use the counties in Huainan as the basis to stay away from the hinterland of the Central Plains. First, he will use his family's strong appeal to occupy Yangzhou, and then prepare for war. Once the world changes, he can go north and take the land of Xu Si, and then fight for Yan and Yuzhou. Wouldn't it be twice the result?"

After a word came to an end, the young man surnamed Cui said bluntly.

After his words were settled, the scholars around him were all in deep thought, thinking about why they wanted to go far to Huainan.

"Brother, this is a good word, and his vision is indeed unique!"
