Chapter 110 Yuan Shu’s thoughts

A "gugu" sound came from the air, and a white dove hovered down the yard. The little fish walked out of the wing room. She stretched out a pair of slim hands, and the white dove gently landed on her hand.

The little fish stretched out two white fingers and took them off from the bamboo tube at the white pigeon's feet. He paused the bamboo tube in his palm for a few times, and a roll of thin white paper fell from it.

Xiao Yuer hurriedly walked up to Zhou Yu and handed the thin roll of paper to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu started reading it, and his face immediately became cloudy.

Chen Gong's eyes showed a faint look of worry and asked, "What? Is there a definite news coming from Jingwu Sect?"

Zhou Yu nodded, handed the small white paper to Chen Gong, and said, "This is the news I got from Lord Zhu Jun. Dong Zhuo has already started to take action. The first one who is unlucky are the wealthy families. And our Kanto Alliance will also collapse."

Chen Gong said angrily: "Dong Zhuo's plan is so poisonous. I have been thinking about this problem these days, worried that they will do this. I am really afraid of whatever I am afraid of!"

Zhou Yu was silent when he heard this. Xiao Yuer thoughtfully handed over a glass of warm water, smiled at Chen Gongyanran, and turned around and left.

Zhou Yu drank the water in a few sips. He knew very well in his heart that in history, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the Kanto Allied Forces dispersed and returned to their garrisons, and then began to fight and fight each other. However, the people in Luoyang suffered a lot, and most of them were forced to move to the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's army, and were wandering and suffered a lot of casualties on the way. When the Kanto Allied Forces entered Luoyang, they only got a burnt city, and the suburbs were empty and the population was scarce.

Zhou Yu repeatedly asked himself in his heart: "Is there any way to avoid such a disaster? And do I... have this ability?"

Seeing Zhou Yu in a daze, Chen Gong asked with concern: "Gongjin~~Gongjin~~, are you okay?"

"Oh" Zhou Yu suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly calmed down, and a signature smile returned to his face, and said, "Li Ru, the military advisor in Dong Zhuo's army, can be called a think tank, and such a plan must be based on his plan. Uncle Chen, I was thinking about it just now, but there is a way to get Dong Zhuo to dispel the idea of ​​moving the capital, but unfortunately he hasn't figured it out yet."

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I haven't come up with a good idea. However, since ancient times, I know myself and enemy, and we still underestimate Dong Zhuo. His ability to stand in Longxi and gain knowledge in troubled times shows his ability and influence. With our current strength and Dong Zhuo's wish, it is a comparison between ants and elephants."

"Since that's the case, our best choice is to go back to Juchao and manage the Lujiang area well, so that the people can rest and recuperate, accumulate their own strength, and observe the changes in the world. Is that right?" Zhou Yu asked.

Chen Gong nodded with a serious expression and said, "This is a relatively safe method. Among the princes of Guandong, although Yuan Shao was very ambitious and talented, he had the halo of four generations and three dukes, and his subordinates were full of talents, so he would definitely do something. Cao Cao was smart and capable, respected the wise and indomitable, and this person would definitely be successful. Yuan Shu was arrogant and narrow-minded. Although he had the help of Sun Jian, the tiger in Changsha, he would at most have a state. The rest of the people were not worth worrying about."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but admire Chen Gong's vision. He had traveled through time and naturally knew the direction of history. Chen Gong's conclusions were very close to history, which shows that he really knew himself and his enemy.

The rising sun rose, and the warm sunshine fell on Zhou Yu and Chen Gong. Zhou Yu looked east and said leisurely: "I have been away from home for a long time, and I am really homesick."

Zhou Yu was lamenting in his heart that although he had the advantage of time travel, he could grasp the big historical context and had his own small force, but unfortunately he could not change the world in a revolutionary situation. After a while, his best choice was to develop in the Jiangdong area. In the face of the rolling trend of history, his personal power was indeed too small...

Luyang, Yuan Shu Mansion.

After Yuan Shu received the letter from Luoyang, he urgently recruited Yuan Yin, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Lei Bu, Han Hao, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and other civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures in the conference hall.

Yuan Shu used a ulterior motive to visit for a week and said to everyone: "Luoyang urgently reported that the old thief Dong Zhuo has begun to move the capital to Chang'an. He has sent troops to confiscate all the property of the wealthy family in Luoyang into the palace. The people around Luoyang were also forced to take their families to Chang'an. At present, Luoyang is already in a mess."

"Lord, then don't hesitate. Let's advance as soon as possible and reach Luoyang as soon as possible. Don't let that old dog Dong Zhuo run away!" Ji Ling was tall and burly, and his voice was full of energy even when facing Yuan Shu.

"Yes~ Let's advance quickly!" Chen Lan, Lei Bu and other generals agreed, Yan Xiang and other civil servants did not speak, and Sun Jian, the generals of the army, did not speak.

Yuan Shu turned to Yan Xiang and asked, "Zhengbu Yan, what are your opinions?"

Yan Xiang wore a hairpin and a Confucian shirt. Hearing this, he stepped forward and bowed and replied, "Lord, I think it's not appropriate to go north at this time."

"Oh, why is this?" Yuan Shu was very interested in Yan Xiang's words.

"There are three reasons." Yan Xiang looked around everyone with a clear look and said slowly: "First, our army trained Fang Cheng. Although General Sun Jian belonged to an elite army, Dong Zhuo still had more than 100,000 Western Liang cavalry, and his troops were not enough to fight. Second, although the Kanto coalition army was in a strong momentum and had a large number of people, they all had their own subordinates and were not consistent. The day when Dong Zhuo moved the capital was the time for the coalition army to disband. Compared with the army on the north and east roads, our army was the farthest from Luoyang. Even if our army arrived in Luoyang, we could only eat leftovers."

"Haha~" Yan Xiang's teasing words aroused the gentle laughter of Lei Pu and other generals.

Yuan Shu closed his eyes slightly, stroked his short beard with his hands on his hands. As he was thinking, he saw Yan Xiang pausing his speech and hurriedly said, "Master Yan, please continue."

Yan Xiang continued, "Third, it depends on your ambition."

"Oh~~How do you say this?" Yuan Shu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and his body couldn't help but sit up straight.

A faint smile appeared on Yan Xiang's face and said loudly: "If the lord is determined to be in the world and in order to gain a good reputation, he must send troops quickly, use General Sun Jian as the vanguard, and take Luoyang as his vanguard, then drive his troops westward to capture Hangu Pass and attack Chang'an! If that's the case, the lord will face the powerful Xiliang Corps directly under Dong Zhuomi, with a low winning rate. Even if he wins, he will win miserably and will suffer heavy losses."

When Yuan Shu heard Yan Xiang's words, his face suddenly turned dark.

Yan Xiang seemed to have observed the change in Yuan Shu's face, and paused his voice and said, "If the lord intends to occupy a county as the foundation and then develop slowly, there is no need to rush to send troops north. First, lead the Nanyang Prefecture and occupy Nanyang, wait for the army of the North and East Roads to meet in Luoyang, and observe the future changes."

Before Yan Xiang finished speaking, everyone in the hall whispered and started whispering.

Yuan Shu frowned and thought for a while, made a gesture to everyone to be quiet, and then said, "This is the end of today's discussion. The chief clerk Yan Xiang, the chief clerk Yang Hong, and the general Sun Jian of the Polu were left. I still have something to discuss with you."

It was dim in the night, and Sun Jian had not returned to the camp. Sun Ce, Lu Fan, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Han Dang and others were waiting in Sun Jian's tent.

A sound of horse hooves came from afar, and it stopped abruptly when it arrived in front of the Central Army tent. Then someone turned around and got off the horse, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer with the sound of "thump" footsteps. The cowhide curtain door of the Central Army tent was picked up, and Sun Jian walked in with great strides, and a fresh air poured in.

Facing the concerning eyes of everyone in the account, Sun Jianwei sighed, took off his helmet and handed it to Sun Ce, and said, "We have made a mistake. I didn't expect that Yuan Gaolu was such a short-sighted person."

Everyone's hearts were sank, and Cheng Pu asked in a low voice: "Has the lord never convinced Yuan Gaolu?"

Sun Jian found a seat and sat down, with a sad expression and replied: "Yuan Gonglu left Yan Xiang alone. Yang Hong discussed this matter with me. I thought he had great ambitions and was a person who could rely on. Unexpectedly, his original intention was to unite with Yan and Yang and convince me!"

Cheng Pu frowned and said, "What about the final result?"

Huang Gai stomped his foot and said with a sigh: "Isn't this obvious in the end? Yuan Shu wants to preserve his strength and become a local emperor."

Sun Jian smiled bitterly when he heard this, "The rebuttal was very true. Yuan Shu not only did not want us to go north to Luoyang, but instead asked us to pacify the counties in Nanyang County first, and then instead to attack Runan County, in the name of letting me truly become the governor of Yuzhou."

Lu Fan snatched the steps forward and said, "Lord, don't be his Taoist. He is a trick to kill people by using a knife. Once you conquer Yuzhou, I'm afraid he will send you to attack other prefectures and counties. In my opinion, Yuan Shu is a arrogant and short-sighted person, and he will never be the ruler of chaos."

Sun Ce had a firm look in his eyes, walked up to Sun Jian and said loudly: "Father, since Yuan Shu is not someone you can rely on, we should make a decision quickly to avoid being harmed by him in the end."

Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others also expressed their opinions one after another. Sun Jian was confused for a moment. He ordered Sun Ce, "Ce'er, go and get a few jars of wine. Let's drink some wine first and then discuss."

"Okay!" Sun Ce knew Sun Jian's hobbies. He had to drink alcohol first whenever he had a major decision. Others were confused when they drank too much. Sun Jian had never drunk a lot. Moreover, he had drunk alcohol and had a very clear mind and had a relatively accurate judgment.
