Chapter 151 Letters
When Wang Zhao heard this, his face turned red and looked ashamed, and buried his head deeply in front of his chest.
The nickname for being righteous is so contemptible. It just so happened that Wang Zhao was still unable to argue now, so he could only let this dark hat be placed on his head.
The number one general in Qingzhou is embarrassing!
Yuan Shang didn't want to say too much about him anymore. He sighed and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, the past is over after all, and I don't want to mention it anymore. I just hope that you can guarantee your loyalty to me from now on and not just be righteous with me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao hurriedly clasped his fists and bent over, shouting loudly: "I hope to die for the young master!"
Yuan Shang waved his hand gently and said, "Get up, I have something to tell you."
After that, Yuan Shangzong shook his head and looked at Hua Yan next to him, saying, "Hua Yan, you and Wang Zhao are both literary and military, and are the most trusted personal counselors under Yuan Tan's tent. Although Linzi City is pacified, there are still Nanpi, Dongping, Linji and other important towns that have not been recovered. Now you two lead 10,000 troops, with the two generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang as the military supervisors, and go to various counties and counties to recruit surrenders, and completely pacify Qingzhou. With your status in Qingzhou, I guess this matter is not difficult, right?"
When Wang Zhao heard this, he knew that he had taken on a good job of making contributions. He was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Don't worry, the general of the third party has been in the Qingzhou military for a long time. He knows the weaknesses and reality of the generals guarding the city in various places. If the generals in various places lead their troops to pacify them one by one, they will definitely be invincible!"
Hua Yan also bowed and said that he would like to go with Wang Zhao.
Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and then ordered Zhuo Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to be the military supervisor. He led Wang Zhao and Hua Yan to immediately order troops to pacify the counties and counties in Qingzhou.
Yuan Shang himself made an appointment with Anmin in Linzi City and handled military affairs with Tian Feng Ju Su and others.
However, at this moment, something big happened to the governor's mansion in Qingzhou!
The governor's mansion was originally Yuan Tan's residence. Now Yuan Tan and his family have been forcibly taken to Yecheng, so this place has naturally become Yuan Shang's residence.
It would be better for Yuan Shang not to stay. This stay made him discover a huge secret.
In Yuan Tan's study, there were many correspondence books of officials who had been in Yecheng! They were still in a bunch of them. They were carefully hidden by Yuan Tan directly under the bookshelf. If Yuan Shang had not pushed the bookshelf, he might have really not discovered it.
Yuan Shang did not make any statement. Instead, he immediately invited Tian Feng and Ju Su to Yuan Tan's study and secretly discussed with them how to deal with the matter.
After listening to Yuan Shang's narration, Tian Feng and Ju Su couldn't help but be silent. Both of them were touching their beards and bowing their heads without saying a word.
Yuan Shang looked back and forth at the two of them, patted a thick stack of bamboo slips and said, "Two gentlemen, what should we do in this matter in your opinion?"
Yuan Shang finished his words for a long time. Fang heard Tian Feng sigh and shook his head, "If it were common sense, he should have taken out these people who colluded with Yuan Tan according to the names of the letters and punished them one by one. However, Qingzhou has just been pacified, and Hebei is in a period of rest and recuperation. If such an extreme thing is done, it will hurt people's hearts and heaven! But if it is not properly handled, it will be cheaper for these people who are fickle in Qin and Chu... Yuan Shang nodded and agreed.
But Ju Su said, "You might as well take these books back to Yecheng, but the lord should not be taken apart. He burned his head in front of all the officials in Yecheng. This can not only show the lord's magnanimity and also give them a warning, wouldn't it be great?"
When Tian Feng heard this, he couldn't help but praise him deeply: "Young master is really a talented man, but I am not as good as someone else!"
Yuan Shang touched his chin and looked at Ju Su blankly.
When I read the Three Kingdoms in my previous life, I seemed to have used this strategy by Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu. However, due to his time travel, I have never heard of it now.
I used it myself this time, but I wonder if it was a copy of Cao Cao?
No matter what, it’s easy to use for everyone, and it doesn’t matter to each other.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang's eyes turned and said, "But it's not perfect to just take back Yecheng and burn it in front of all officials. I still have to open these letters and look at the names of the people who have affair with Yuan Tan. I have a good idea in my heart. If something happens in the future, I can also know it in my heart."
When Tian Feng and Ju Su heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Compared to the old lord, the lords are much cunning and smarter now.
So, the three of them crossed their legs and put out the book script in the study room to see who were secretly colluding with Yuan Tan.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Yuan Shang looked, shook his head and sighed, "Look at the letter, it's so shameless! He actually praised Yuan Tan as the number one strong general and the best leader in the world. He was so shameless. He dared to say anything to let my father and Lu Bu know, and he didn't even use his dream to kill him."
Ju Su also looked at it and shook his head in a gossip: "My lord, your letter is nothing. Look at my letter. This man compared Yuan Tan to Wuqu Xingjun to come down to earth to destroy the world and save the people. His words are flattering and dirty, which is simply disgusting."
Seeing this, Tian Feng was dissatisfied and said, "Hey hey, aren't you two just looking at the names of people? Why did you even read the content of the letter? Do you still have some moral cultivation? It's ridiculous! This move is a very insulting way of Confucius and Mencius!"
Yuan Shang gave Tian Feng a blank look and said, "Mr. Tian, you are so boring. Are you not curious at all and don't gossip about the content of this letter?"
Tian Feng twisted his head, closed his eyes, and his face was very noble: "I am not curious, not gossip!"
Ju Su turned his head to look at Tian Feng, and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Yuan Hao, look, this letter is written interestingly. Not only does it flatter Yuan Tan, but it also said that he has five daughters under his knees, and he wants to betroth all of these five girls to Yuan Tan as his concubines to seek Yuan Tan's future blessings and wealth."
Tian Feng looked righteous and closed his eyes and looked at him disdainfully.
Yuan Shang was stunned, hurriedly snatched it, and said, "Let me see which bastard it is. A girl didn't even look at me first, but instead went to curry favor with Yuan Tan! Go back and get all his five daughters in the harem!"
Ju Su shook his head and smiled, "Yuan Hao. Look at this letter again, it actually praises Yuan Tan for being the destiny of a dragon. He was born as an emperor. He advised Yuan Tan to inherit the four prefectures of Hebei in the future and become an emperor! He also had to offer a piece of 100-year-old jade in his family, carve a jade seal for Yuan Tan, suppress the country's fortune, and seek wealth. However, he dared to write such rebellious words, and he was simply a madman."
Tian Feng still sat upright without looking at the content.
Yuan Shang's eyes rolled and murmured, "Who is this man who has been to Biyu for a hundred years? He actually said such a ruthless word. He has to punish him well when he goes back. Just punish him for confiscating his Biyu... Ju Su took out another letter and sighed, "Who is this? He actually said he would give his own 10,000 kilograms of gold and 100 million yuan to help Yuan Tan achieve great things!"
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that there were such a well-off official in Yecheng? He also accomplished great things, and he had no place to spend money? He confiscated them, all of them were confiscated!"
When he arrived here, Tian Feng was still closed his eyes and stood proudly, and was not interested in the contents on the letter. He was as proud as a Confucian disciple of Confucius and Mencius!
Ju Su sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Tian Feng's character.
Yuan Shang looked at Tian Feng for a long time, and suddenly picked up another bamboo slip and opened it, reading the contents on the letter aloud.
"You are my heart. You are my liver. You are my heart and mouth wine! You are my stomach. You are my lungs. You are the wine that makes me unable to drink. Master Yuan Tan, the official has admired and liked you for a long time. Today's special book, a letter, ask for analm, Hey? Which pseudo-woman wrote a love letter to my elder brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Feng suddenly opened his eyes, snatched the book in Yuan Shang's hand, and looked down carefully.
While watching, Tian Feng also said gossipedly: "Which bastard dares to be so bold and wants to have a dragon-yang fetish with the eldest son. It is simply a shame of Confucius and Mencius and the old lord Qingyu, why is it not as good as the part you just read? Where? Where?"
Looking up, he saw Ju Su's expression on his face, while Yuan Shang had an innocent smile on his face.
Tian Feng's old face suddenly turned green.
"Lord, it's not that I said you, you are already the lord of the four states, why are you so unreliable when speaking and acting? It's ridiculous! Don't make such jokes in the future! Do you know how boring it is!"
He stuffed the bamboo slips in his hand into Yuan Shang's hand. Tian Feng shook his sleeves with anger and walked out of the study with a drool, leaving only Yuan Shang and Ju Su looking at each other and laughing... Not to mention that Yuan Shang discovered the letters from the Yecheng officials who were secretly contacting Yuan Tan, but said that Wang Zhao, Hua Yan, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led 10,000 elite troops to the counties in Qingzhou to surrender.
Since Hua Yan and Wang Zhao are important towns in Qingzhou, they have a high reputation among the officials and armies of various counties and counties. For a time, the ten thousand troops went everywhere, and the counties and counties opened cities to surrender and surrendered, almost pacifying most of Qingzhou in just a short period of time.
However, when the troops arrived at the plain at the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou, a big trouble occurred.
It is because there is an important figure in Pingyuan County that the magistrate of Pingyuan County is not allowed to go out of the city to surrender to the enemy.
This man was not someone else, his surname was Wang Xiu, from Yingling, Beihai County. He was a Bieguard from Qingzhou. He was upright. He left Linzi City and went to various places to inspect agricultural affairs. However, he happened to catch up with Yuan Shang leading his troops to attack Linzi City, so he was not among the prisoners.
Wang Xiu is upright and always respects loyalty. Now seeing his lord being captured and imprisoned by Yuan Shang alive, although he knows that Yuan Shang is the main lord of Hebei, he is also angry. Although he is a literati, he is willing to sacrifice himself. He is not afraid of the 10,000 troops of Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others, and issued strict orders not to allow the magistrate of Pingyuan County to surrender!
The magistrate of Pingyuan County was named Huang Kang, and he was not a wise man. Although he wanted to surrender, he could not afford to offend Wang Xiu, so he had to respond with utmost scrupulousness.
Wang Zhao shouted outside Pingyuan County for a day, but saw that there was no movement, and he couldn't help but feel a little restless!
I was ordered to persuade the generals and officials in various places to defend the city. All the localities and counties have already responded to their own face and surrendered. However, the small Pingyuan County has only a few thousand soldiers and less than five or six generals. Is it difficult for me to go against the will of heaven?
Wang Zhao immediately asked Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to display 10,000 troops outside Pingyuan County. Wang Zhao himself was the pioneer, wearing a spear and clamoring, and fought against the county magistrate Huang Kang, who had no vision, to go down the city to fight the male and female.
Suddenly, County Magistrate Huang was so scared that he was a little tired and had incontinent even when he was urinating and defecating. He hurried back to the prefect's mansion and asked Wang Xiu not to give him some advice.
Although Wang Xiu was talented, he was a civil servant, but he was still the kind of person who was powerless. He was not capable of military affairs and had no choice but to find him.
One of Pingyuan Prefects and the other one of Qingzhou was in a hurry in the house, but suddenly he heard someone report that the Prime Minister of Pingyuan Prefects was ordered to come to visit Huang.
When he was young, the Pingyuan Mansion Chief walked into the hall. Wang Xiu looked up and saw that the man had bright eyes and elegant clothes. He was very young, had a white face and had no beard appearance. He looked quite handsome.
