Chapter 13 Buy land and become a landlord

Only three days after Guo Jia returned, he followed Cao Cao to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei.

No surprises at all.

Liu Bei, who was "defeated" by Cao Cao in the first half of his life, was easily defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou like a frightened bird.

Cao Cao not only captured Xuzhou, but also captured Liu Bei's wife and daughter and the fierce general Guan Yu.

Yuan Shao from the north also stretched his hips as expected.

When Tian Feng saw that Cao Cao had abandoned Guandu and went to Xuzhou to attack Liu Bei, he begged Yuan Shao to send troops decisively and take Cao Cao's rear!

"General! If you don't move now, why don't you wait!"

Tian Feng was a little excited: "Cao Cao is seeking death! As long as you attack across the river now and take Xuchang directly, Cao Cao will never be able to turn around!"

But when faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yuan Shao refused.

"My youngest son is ill and it will be difficult for him to go to war."

When Tian Feng heard this reply, he knocked on the ground with his crutch angrily: "What a pity that my husband was so lucky that he lost his chance because of the baby's illness!!!"

Feng (Nian Pang) Ji, who has always been Tian Feng's nemesis, secretly showed a proud look after hearing this question.

Young son is sick?

Stop talking nonsense. Only people like Tian Feng would believe this reason.

No, Tian Feng might not even believe it himself. The reason why he scolded Yuan Shao for this was probably because he was mocking him.

It is true that Yuan Shao loves his son very much, but he will not miss this opportunity just because his son is sick.

Everyone knows that the Battle of Guandu was a battle to determine the north and even bring peace to the world. How could a man like Yuan Shao give up the opportunity to destroy Cao Cao and bring back the emperor just because his son was ill?

The real reason is none other than "checks and balances."

When Yuan Shao first arrived in Jizhou, he had great reputation, but his men did not have much strength.

At this time, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Gao Gan, Guo Tu and others who were still working under Han Fu in Jizhou at that time jointly persuaded Han Fu to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Jushu, who was the second-in-command in Jizhou at the time, disagreed and urged Han Fu not to give up Jizhou, but unfortunately he failed.

However, Yuan Shao, who took control of Jizhou, also knew that if he wanted to completely control Hebei, he had to win over Jushou, who had a high reputation among the big families in Hebei. Therefore, instead of punishing Jushou, Yuan Shao instead appointed Jushou as the supervisor of the army, exerting power as a general, and letting Jushou

Take control of the military power in Hebei to appease people's hearts.

But this does not mean that the conflicts between the two sides disappear.

Although the counselor group headed by Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and Gao Gan had worked under Han Fu before, they were all born in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, so they were outsiders.

Jushuo, Tian Feng, Zhang He, etc. were from prominent families in Hebei and were local powerful people.

…

Therefore, the internal conflicts within Yuan Shao's collective are the same as those of the Shu Han in the future. Basically, the lord brought people from the Jingzhou faction to the Yizhou faction's territory to grab meat!

Unlike Liu Bei, he conquered Yizhou by himself and had soldiers, but Yuan Shao didn't even have soldiers...

In this way, many strange things become no longer strange.

For example, welcoming back the emperor...

As a member of a wealthy family in Hebei, Jushu certainly hoped that the emperor would benefit from moving the Han capital to Jizhou.

However, because outsiders such as Guo Tu had no roots in Jizhou, they would not receive any benefits and would be further attacked by the Hebei family, so they were naturally unwilling to welcome the emperor back.

After all, if it was really Yuan Shao who ushered in the emperor, then it would not be Xun Yu who would become the Minister of Ling and be honored as "Lingjun", but he would be Jusao.

Yuan Shao also had similar concerns.

Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family in Runan, which was too far away from Jizhou.

If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were to change their territory, then Yuan Shao would probably be more happy than a dog to welcome the emperor...

The same was true in the Battle of Guandu.

In the battle that just wiped out Gongsun Zan, Guo Tu and other outsider factions obviously contributed more and made more contributions!

Even before that, they had successfully eradicated the famous Hebei general Qu Yi and annexed his tribe, greatly increasing Yuan Shao's own military strength and no longer having to look at the faces of the Hebei families.

This foreign faction saw the advantage of using military exploits to attack the Jizhou faction, so they urged Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was also a good man, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to divide the military power in Ju Shuo's hands into three parts. The other two parts would be given to Guo Tu from the outside faction, and the other to the senior Chunyu Qiong to achieve checks and balances.

Purpose.

So despite the fact that Yuan Shao is fighting Cao Cao in name, in fact, his real purpose is to resolve his own internal conflicts.

Under such circumstances, how could Yuan Shao allow Tian Feng, who was born in Hebei, to apply to fight?

As long as he secretly divides and takes back the power of local Hebei forces such as Ju Sue, Tian Feng, Yan Liang Wenchou and others in the name of fighting Cao Cong, then for Yuan Shao, he himself will be the absolute winner!

As for taking off the clothes later, that's another story...

Cao Cao was relieved after learning that Yuan Shao did not steal his ass: "I have already won half of this battle!"

As someone who has worn the same pants as Yuan Shao since they were young, does Cao Cao know what Yuan Shao is thinking?

This was also the biggest reason why he dared to leave Yuan Shao alone and go to destroy Liu Bei.

Because Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao was not here for him at all.

But this does not mean that Cao Cao is necessarily safe.

Although Yuan Shao was stabilizing the internal situation in the name of crusading against Cao Cao, fighting against Cao Cao was also a real fight!

How to fight and whether to fight are two completely different things!

If Cao Cao dares to be disloyal, his only fate will be to be with Gongsun Zan and become a stepping stone for Yuan Shao's hegemony.

So Cao Cao, who was relieved, was just relieved. He didn't even have time to take a closer look at Liu Bei's wife and daughter. After sending someone to Xuchang, he directly returned to Guandu with his army to take charge!

Xuchang, Sikong Mansion...

He Yanzheng knelt down in front of Ms. Yin and apologized to Ms. Yin sincerely——

"Mom, it was Guo Jijiu who forced the child to go there. It has nothing to do with the child."

Yin's plump chest floated up and down, fully realizing her excitement: "Still pretending?"

"Even if it was Guo Jijiu who dragged you here, wouldn't you refuse if his mouth was on you?"

He Yan continued to defend himself: "It was only after I went there that I discovered that the place was a female village."

"Ha! What? Aren't the legs growing on you? Why don't you run back?"

Mrs. Yin complained angrily: "Mr. He is considered a noble family, but you are so young that you go to visit your daughter's house. You are really ashamed of the immortals!"

"Also, what happened to the money you defrauded Mr. Pi? Pay him back immediately!"

He Yan was a little embarrassed: "Mom, I can't pay back this money."

"Why?"

He Yan took out a handful of land deeds from his arms: "My child took it to buy land..."

Yin:w(Д)w!!!
