Chapter 189 Yuan Wei’s plan, two tigers compete for food

Outside the gate of Yuan Mansion, it was deserted and there was no traffic jam before. It could be said that the gate was deserted.

Wang Fen was planning a rebellion and Emperor Han was in danger, but in fact, the impact on the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei was the most powerful. The party members' momentum plummeted, and the officials who used to always surrounded Yuan's mansion and waited for Yuan Wei to summon him were now gone.

Although He Yong used his death to clear Yuan Wei of suspicion.

But it can be seen that this leader of the party, Taifu Yuan, who has a glorious background of the three masters of the four generations, is no longer as good as before.

Yuan Wei also knew in his heart that although Emperor Han let him go, it did not mean that he had no doubts about him.

The reason why he was let go was to put it bluntly that General He Jin was involved. The Emperor of Han was worried that the general was too anxious and caused unnecessary trouble. Now that Yuan Wei was released, he would be in danger as long as he was in Luoyang.

Sitting in the study, Yuan Wei's complexion looked very bad.

Yuan Shao stood quietly in front of the book case with his hands hanging down, and dared not say a word.

"Benchu, you are planning such a big thing, why don't you tell me in advance?"

Yuan Wei said sadly: "If I knew you would do this, I would definitely try to stop it. I said that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, and you should not be too hasty. Do you think that if you kill the Emperor of Han, we scholars will really have a chance to make a comeback?"

Yuan Shao still didn't speak, but it could be seen that he did not listen to Yuan Wei's words.

Sighing, Yuan Wei said, "I am old, maybe I can't compare to your motivation, but I have experienced so many years and seen so many things. In the early years, Chen Fan and Li Ying were so powerful, and they were not the last one... Forget it, I also know that you may not be able to listen to these words. What is Xu Ziyuan and the others' current situation?"

Yuan Shao said: "Uncle, Ziyuan has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he has gone to Bohai County. It is mainly composed of the Hu people from the Sumo tribe of the Marine tribe. Although it is barren, it is still safe. Ziyuan said that he plans to stay there for some time. The Marine tribe is good at riding and shooting, so he can recruit them. Ziyuan's plan is to recruit soldiers and horses from the Sumo tribe of the Marine tribe and slowly plan them."

Yuan Wei looked up, and a glimmer flashed in his turbid old eyes.

"Benchu, it seems that you have made up your mind."

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Bo Qiu had said something to me earlier, Shao kept it in mind. If a scholar wants to realize his ideal, he must have enough strength. This strength is military and horses. Whoever has military and horses in his hands can speak loudly. Bo Qiu failed this time, but it also strengthened my idea. We must have someone in our hands, otherwise, even if we gather all the famous scholars in the world, it will be difficult to accomplish."

Yuan Wei was silent...

He closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere in the study was very depressing, and Yuan Shao could even feel a cool air coming out of his backbone.

At this point, he didn't need to hide anything.

He simply made it clear that if Yuan Wei really wanted to kill him, there was no way. But He Yong's statement made Yuan Shao see a world he had never seen before. If Wang Fen really succeeded, if the Han Emperor was killed, if the scholars had the troops in their hands, what would be the situation in Luoyang today? That was not easy to say.

Yuan Wei said: "Your idea may be correct..."

Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, and it seemed that Yuan Wei had accepted his ideas somewhat.

But Yuan Wei continued: "But the current situation says that the party members are no longer at all. It will take at least two or three years to wait for Xu Ziyuan to train troops. What should the party members do in these two or three years? The eunuch temple has not been eliminated, and the imperial party has risen... The Han Dynasty began with Emperor Guangwu, and the power of the Han Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of the royal family. He Sui mastered Luoyang's defense, and the emperor now has a new army. Only the scholars, such as us, have nothing. They seem strong, but in fact they are weak. How can we survive these three years?"

Yuan Shao let out a scream and shook his head.

"My nephew didn't think about these things."

Yuan Wei smiled and opened his eyes to Yuan Shao, "Benchu, you have talent, and I am the talent of my Yuan family. I am very optimistic about you. But sometimes you are too frivolous and only think about the result of many things, but don't consider the process in between. To put it nicely, you are called lofty eyes, to put it badly, but you are too ambitious, so be careful."

Yuan Shao said respectfully: "My nephew must keep in mind his uncle's teachings."

"Now our scholars are in the midst of life and death. When we gather together as a party, we may suffer a life-and-death disaster. We should cause disaster to flow eastward and turn everyone's eyes to other places. We will endure and survive in the cracks to preserve our strength."

Yuan Shao's heart moved, "Uncle means..."

"Benchu, do you know what Dong Zhuo has achieved in Liangzhou now?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said softly: "In the past two years, my nephew first fought against the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and then... I don't know much."

Yuan Wei smiled and said, "I know. In Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo's power covers almost the entire northwest, including the northern land and Anding counties, all of which are based on Dong Zhuo's expressions. Although the Wuwei is a little turbulent, it is not because Dong Zhuo did it on purpose. In this way, he can stay in the northwest for a long time, grow and grow, and eventually become a giant."

Yuan Shao didn’t understand what Yuan Wei meant. It was so cool. Why did Dong Zhuo do?

Now that he heard the word "Dong", he felt so disgusting that he wanted to vomit. But he also knew that his uncle would never be aimless in saying this.

Yuan Wei continued: "Dong Zhongying now has 200,000 powerful soldiers, including the three most elite troops in the world, including the world's most elite troops, the Qin and Hu soldiers in Huangzhong, and the Xiliang soldiers. They are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. They can be called the most powerful soldiers of our Han Dynasty. They have many powerful generals under their command, and they have the staff created by the Dong clan as the core, giving him advice..."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but take a breath.

"Then Dong Zhuo has developed to such a level?"

"It's not just... the Dong family and the Cai family married each other, made friends with Lu Zhi, and were very good with Doctor Dongguan; and the Dong family and became the first 18-year-old general of our Han Dynasty since the revival of Guangwu, and the Hou Ting... Although it is not as good as the Hou of the Champion of that year, it is indeed the first person in the Han Dynasty in the past two hundred years. Now the Dong family is the General of the Hu Ben, and the Emperor of Han intends to reorganize Hu Ben Lang... Hehe, Dong Zhongying has Xiliang soldiers outside and his lion is in charge... In the beginning, don't you think that if Dong Zhongying has another relative, he is He Suigao?"

Yuan Shao trembled and looked at Yuan Wei in horror.

"Is uncle who said to rely on Dong Zhongying?"

"I can order Zhang Miao to rely on Dong Zhongying. I heard that the scholar Sun Rui is now stable, so I can also rely on Dong Zhongying."

Yuan Shao vaguely guessed Yuan Wei’s thoughts and understood Yuan Wei’s intentions.

"You can ask Xun Ciming, the prince's army to rely on the general. What I mean is to rely completely. In this way, we can seek a way to survive and get a breather. At the same time, we can provoke the conflict between He Suigao and Dong Zhongying and reap the benefits of the fisherman... In short, if we want to have another chance, we must be patient, patient, and patient... On the one hand, let them fight in internal conflicts, and on the other hand, we develop our own power. When the time is ripe, the scholars can regain their vitality."

"Uncle this plan..."

"There is a tiger in Luoyang and a tiger in Liangzhou... Hehe, it can be called a strategy for two tigers to compete for food."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, feeling that if Yuan Wei's strategy was implemented, it would be the most appropriate strategy now.

"Then how to provoke a conflict between He Suigao and Dong Zhongying?"

At this time, Yuan Shao realized that when it comes to being scheming and wise, his uncle was still smart. He couldn't help but feel a pity. Why didn't he explain the matter clearly to his uncle earlier? If he could get his uncle's consent and plan with him, wouldn't he have a greater chance of winning?

Yuan Wei thought for a while, "I heard that General Dong Chong of the Cavalry recently had close contact with Liangzhou, which could be a breakthrough, which made He Suigao suspicious. But this is not enough. Some time ago, I heard that the eldest princess of Yangdi Liu Xiuye ​​is already eighteen... She is the daughter of the late emperor, and the emperor loves him very much and treats him as a relative of his sister. It is better to propose marriage to the Dong family... Hehe, on the one hand, He Suigao can make He Suigao nervous, and on the other hand, it can make Cai Yong and the Dong family have a gap... Well, since the Dong family is now the General of the Tiger Ben, why don't He Suigao get the position of Beigong Captain?"

The old man half-squinted his eyes and spoke out a series of plans.

I heard Yuan Shao smile and was filled with joy. Just like this, I should have taken action together in several aspects, and I am not afraid of He Suigao or angry.

Yuan Wei pondered for a moment, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou?"

Yuan Shao did not react for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

"Ding Jianyang is a martial artist. I had dated him earlier. This man comes from the Han family. He is known as brave and has a vulgar character. He is not very broad-minded... Uncle, after you said this, my nephew remembered that Ding Jianyang has many powerful generals, and the Bingzhou Army is also the most brave garrison in my Han Dynasty. Why not let him come forward and fight with Dong Zhongying?"

Yuan Wei glanced at him with appreciation and was very satisfied with Yuan Shao's reaction.

"Earlier, Ding Jianyang sent him to work... Oh, it seemed that he asked Zhang Liao to come and ask for a meeting, saying that he wanted to allocate some armor and equipment. I didn't have time at that time, so I threw it aside. You can go see this person and give some good things to Ding Jianyang. However, it's enough to have two tigers, He Suigao and Dong Zhongying, and Ding Jianyang... seems to be a bit short of weight."

"That uncle means..."

"Select Ding Jianyang and try to make him dependent on us. In this way, we can also make more sense for our scholars."

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, "My nephew understands!"

Yuan Wei was also tired after planning these many things.

Suddenly asked, "What are the roads doing recently?"

"This...is not very clear. I only know that he is often not in Luoyang and has a close contact with Zhang Wen in Chang'an. As for what he is doing, my nephew is really not sure."

When Yuan Shu was mentioned, Yuan Wei felt a headache.

"Look at him and don't let him cause trouble. Now is an extraordinary time, don't act as before."

Yuan Shao replied respectfully: "My nephew understands!"

*******

In the blink of an eye, May has come.

The weather gradually became hotter, and Ren Hongchang's injuries were already getting better.

Although Dong Lu was weak due to premature birth, she had recovered her health after being conditioned by the goddess doctor Keats. Five jin grew up day by day and looked much healthier than when she was just born.

Anyway, life is quite leisurely.

Things in the court have nothing to do with Dong Qi. Although he will have a look of one kind or another no matter where he goes, he is already used to it.

On this day, he summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.

Now Dong Qi's subordinates are getting bigger and bigger. The small study room is no longer useful.

Dong Qi didn't like the atmosphere of speaking in the conference hall, and felt too serious. Therefore, every time he discussed the matter, he was in the small school ground. First, he had most of his military personnel, and second, he came to speak here, and there were trolls guarding him, so he was not worried about being heard. You know, as his official position grew bigger, he would attract more and more attention. In the conference hall, there were often servants passing by, and God knew who was bribed? Dong Qi was very careful, especially when discussing.

Dianwei and Shamoke arrived at the school early.

After a while, Pang De, Qu Yi and Cheng Li also arrived at the school ground. Then Ban Zhi, Yan Ming, Tang Zhou arrived, Zhang He, Wu Anguo and Shi Huan arrived, and the last one came. Under the parasol, a troll sent mung bean soup with frost. This was also the best drink to relieve heat. It was iced in the well water for a long time, and after sip, it was cool to the heart.

"I plan to give up the position of Beigong Captain!"

Dong Qi sat down, and his words aroused the surprise of many people.

"Master, why is this?"

Dong Qi smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor intends to use Hu Benlang to annex the North and South Gongwei, but now it seems that it is not easy. Beigongwei has been crippled, and there is almost no complete organization except the battalion in Qu Yi's hands... Moreover, I am now the General of Hu Ben, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable to take the position of Beigongwei as a base. The emperor means that I will go to Danyang to recruit troops based on the Beigongwei who participated in the battle this time. Danyang has always been a powerful soldier, which can avoid the loss of the population. Second, it can also allow me to avoid various troubles in the court for the time being..."

Dian Wei frowned and said softly: "But in this way, your relationship with the palace will be broken."

Dong Qi nodded and said, "I also have this kind of worry... But the emperor doesn't seem to trust others very much. Therefore, he asked Jian Shuo to notify me that even if I give up Beigong Wei, I still need to choose a reliable person to take responsibility. After thinking about it, it is the best brother, you are the one who is the best."

Dian Wei said in surprise: "Me?"

The others were also a little puzzled, and Shamoko couldn't help but speak: "But isn't the eldest brother a military captain? How to serve as a part-time member?"

Dong Qi said: "I naturally know this. But the emperor means that the eldest brother will give up his position as the lieutenant of the military and serve as the lieutenant of the Beigong lieutenant, and the ranks are equal to that of the lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant of the military and lieutenant, but once the Hu Benlang is rebuilt, it can be successfully merged into one. I think the emperor means that too."

Dian Wei scratched his head, "If my second brother thinks it's OK, I'll have no problem. But I'll make it clear first, I'm not good at training troops. Before, Cheng Li was the one who did the new army, so it's okay to ask me to take charge. Cheng Li wants to come and help me."
To be continued...
