Young people in their early twenties are always the most impulsive, eager to achieve success and become famous all the time.

What's more, people like Yang Xiu can't hold back their nature.

Meng Yuanshao asked, and he talked endlessly about Liu Bei's kindness and request.

"I heard for a long time that Yuan Gong benevolent and loves things and takes the world as his responsibility. I believe Yuan Gong also heard that the imperial court was in Guanzhong due to the harm of Li Jue, natural disasters and droughts, and the people were in trouble, and even the emperor avoided the disaster and Hongnong, and the court was uneasy.

People in the sea of ​​Yuan Gong hope that at this time, shouldn’t we be anxious about the court’s urgent need to provide food and clothing for the emperor. We also encourage merchants to sell surplus grain from Henoi to Guanzhong to relieve the people’s upside down. Guanzhong is ultimately the best area within the imperial capital. To win the hearts of the people and let the people praise Yuan Gong’s virtues, that is, let the emperor’s close ministers and common people praise Yuan Gong’s virtues. How could Yuan Gong have any intention?”

In his heart, Yang Xiu had already thought of a more powerful way of tempting it for profit in the past half month on the way to come and analyze the interests.

But now there are too many counselors around you, and some people may not be in the same position as Yuan Shao, while others are righteous and gentlemen who cannot bear the slightest conscience, so they can only lay the groundwork for high-sounding interests first.

Yang Xiu did not mention that the people of Guanzhong were already people controlled by Liu Bei, but only said that they were "the emperor's close ministers and scholars" and also lured Yuan Shao to pay attention to the general good relationship with the imperial center.

Unfortunately, during the history of Emperor Xian’s migration, Yuan Shao was too lazy to provide supplies to the emperor and pretended to be deaf and dumb. How could he take out money and food because of such a trivial "improving relations and reputation among the people"?

Among the three advisers who accompanied the seat, the most pragmatic example was the one who immediately spoke to Yuan Shao: "Young Master Yang, respecting the court, is the one who is a minister, and it is not invisible to do so. General Cavalry had just allocated a sum of money and grain from Hanoi a few days ago, and sent it to Xiaopingjin from the Yellow River to Hongnong and Luoyang to serve the emperor.

But the land in Guanzhong is long and has dangerous obstacles from Shaanxi Gorges, and the waterways are blocked. If water and land are alternately transported, it is really difficult to achieve. There are some priorities and urgent matters. We have done our best to worship the emperor. Gongsun Zan has not been destroyed for a long time, and You Ji is exhausted and unable to do his best."

Yang Xiu reminded: "It is wrong to practice this statement. It is naturally free to worship the emperor. However, it is a profitable business for Guanzhong. I know that I need Yuan Gong to encourage him, and I don't need Yuan Gong to personally pay for money and grain. Now Jingzhao Yin has raised the price of Chang'an to four or five thousand coins. Yuan Shu in Nanyang can no longer help but make a lot of profits. Along the Wuguan Road Danshui, grain ships are endless and profits are made. However, the surplus grain in Nanyang is not enough to supply a million people. The King of Hanzhong specially asked me to remind Yuan Gong to join the grand ceremony and share the benefits together."

Yuan Shao was also a relatively "frugal". Since Shen Pei helped him tell him the difficulties, Yang Xiu "accidentally stepped on a pit" mentioned Yuan Shu that he didn't want to hear.

So Yuan Shao also frowned and followed the flow: "It is natural to help the court, but if you are not able to do it, you have to choose the most important help first. The rest is waiting for Hebei to keep a blockade and make a long-term plan. As for what you say is beneficial to sell grain, this general is not a profit-seeking person. Doing one thing or not has nothing to do with profit."

After Yuan Shao said that, Guo Tu was right next to him: "In the past, Guan Zhong used the benefits of Lu's womb to lure the people of Lu to abandon the roots and chase the ends, and abandoned agriculture and commerce. After the people of Lu entered the womb, Guan Zhong refused to allow the people of Qi to buy white and sell grain. Lu then lost grain and the country's power declined.

Today, there is a great chaos. How can we lightly lose the accumulation of money for the benefit of wealth? The lord is not greedy for the profit of merchants, and he values ​​the foundation and the people. The wise and wise can be compared with Duke Huan of Qi."

Anyway, Guo Tu always comes out to summarize the statement at the end. After Yuan Shao’s own tendency to be completely exposed, Guo Tu is responsible for explaining the wise and correctness of this view.

Seeing this, Yang Xiu knew that it would be meaningless to get involved directly, so he smiled indifferently and moved to the next demand first.

He also heard of Yuan Shao's stubbornness and did some research. He knew that every time Guo Tu straightened out, it would be better not to speak up and refute directly, which would be of no benefit.

Yang Xiu said happily: "Since Hebei is insufficient in savings, the King of Hanzhong will not force others to make things difficult. However, the King of Hanzhong just mentioned that "Hedong is not easy to transfer fortune". The King of Hanzhong sent Xiu to come this time, and there was also a request, which was related to this.

If the emperor is peaceful today, the emperor will not be controlled. The attacks caused by different government affairs and factions among the generals in the outside world should be quelled. How can those who are both Han ministers seek harm? If there is someone who does not follow, they will disrespect the emperor and the other princes should attack them together.

Bingzhou, Hedong, has been in the Yellow Turban Rebellion since the first year of Zhongping, and the remnants have not yet been resolved. Zhang Yan and Guo Taidi rejected several counties, causing trouble to the local area. The King of Hanzhong wanted to confirm the rights and responsibilities with Yuan Gong, and decided to stop the disputes and determine how much worries the two sides should share for the court.

The King of Hanzhong thought that Shangdang Zhang Yan could continue to be destroyed by Yuan Gongping, and the land of Hedong, Pingyang, Guo Tai, Han Xian and others would wait for Guanzhong to recover their vitality, and the King of Hanzhong would send a former general to redeem it. Both sides would be bounded by Qinshui and Gaodu in the future."

The boundary mentioned by Yang Xiu is actually the junction of Hedong County, Hanoi County, and Shangdang County, Bingzhou. The Qinshui travels north and south, dividing the east and west sides clearly. There is a remnant of the southernmost part of the Taihang Mountains between Hanoi and Shangdang.

In fact, when Guan Yu passed by five years ago, he fought a war with Yang Feng and others, destroyed Yang Feng and surrendered Xu Huang, which was the ancient battlefield of the famous Battle of Qin and Zhao Changping during the Warring States Period.

However, Yang Xiu would rather say a few more words than simply abbreviated, because he did not want to remind Yuan Shao that if he agreed to divide the sphere of influence in Shanxi in this way, after Liu Bei and Yuan Shao completely destroyed the rioters and became a complete body, both sides would form the "Trend of Qin and Zhao in the Warring States Period".

Historically, before the Battle of Changping, the Hedong County in the late Han Dynasty was originally from South Korea, but was captured by Qin, which separated the Shangdang County of South Korea from the Korean main body in Henan and became an enclave. The Han Shangdang County Magistrate did not want to surrender to Qin, so he turned to Zhao, which led to the later Battle of Changping.

Therefore, the land that Yang Xiu proposed to divide the spoils with Yuan Shao today is equivalent to the part of the land lost by China and South Korea in the "Battle of Qin and Han", and even the boundary division is exactly the same as that of Qin and Zhao and Han.

Liu Bei is Qin and Yuan Shao is Zhao, so how unlucky is Yuan Shao? So it cannot be pointed out to avoid being superstitious.

Of course, strictly speaking, Liu Bei lost less than Qin in history (it was quite a lot after he destroyed Guo Si), but he was half a Chu.

Yuan Shao had half more than the prosperous place of Zhao in history (Yan except Liaodong) and half more than half of Qi (Qingzhou).

Regarding Yang Xiu's proposal, Yuan Shao's advisers must also jump out and squeeze out the water.

Xin Ping, who had never gained the opportunity tonight, said: "Guanzhong is in decline and far superior to Hebei. It is urgent to eliminate traitors for the country and eliminate evil. If the General of the Cavalry defeated Zhang Yan, Guo Tai and Han Xian will still cause trouble to the local area, but the King of Hanzhong cannot make any moves. How can we ruin national affairs for personal friendship?

Besides, the King of Hanzhong has more important tasks to be solved? After Li Jie's death, Guo Si's enemy in the prefecture was still entrenched in Liangzhou. In contrast, Guo Tai and Han Xian were just a minor illness. The King of Hanzhong should be lighter first and then heavy. According to the times, how can he drum the zither?"

Yang Xiu always kept smiling and did not refute. After Xin Jing finished speaking, he said "kindly": "Xin Chengshi was an old minister in Hebei. The King of Hanzhong and the Right General often mentioned that seven or eight years ago, when the governor Jia was in charge of Jizhou, Xin Chengshi was eager for justice. Xin Chengshi's words were naturally worried about the country, but unfortunately there were mistakes in predictions."

Xin Ping was a literary career in Jia Cong, who helped Liu Bei. Li Su introduced Ju Su to Jia Cong and advised Jia Cong to send Liu Bei. Li Su went to the capital to report Zhang Chun's rebellion. It can be seen that his interest relationship with Liu Bei is not clear. Yang Xiu reminded him just right, don't surround himself. Yuan Shao has always been suspicious about the motives of the advisers.

Fortunately, Yang Xiu didn't know that Li Su had given Xin Ping a golden cake. If he knew this, Yang Xiu wouldn't have given Xin Ping a chance to speak tonight.

After Xin Ping shut up, Shen Pei and Guo Tu said something in a mess, nothing more than "How to be kind to Liu Bei, you should pay attention to methods. Even Yuan Shu has done something, so the lord doesn't need to follow the example."

For a moment, Yang Xiu's persuasion seemed to be in a deadlock.

Yang Xiu also had his last killer move, which was the witness he secretly brought, Xue Ti, under Cao Cao. However, this killer move was not suitable for analyzing the general trend of the world with Yuan Shao and showing off before the pros and cons of diplomacy was obvious, so that the effect would not be maximized.

So Yang Xiu decided to endure it.

He bowed and replied: "Donald Yuan, since both sides are in harmony, everything else is a trivial matter. There is a saying in the past, which is related to the national principle, but it is not easy to discuss with the banquet. He may be disrespectful to the court and the emperor. He also asked Duke Yuan to make detailed discussions in the future. He would like to inform him of the heartfelt words that would benefit Duke Yuan."

He wanted Yuan Shao to "retreat". It was not that he wanted to deceive Yuan Shao, but that he said something in public, which was a bit ruthless.

Yuan Shao was a little clever and could hear this, but he still showed his trust in his subordinates and scolded him with a stern face: "You can talk to others in everything! I, Yuan Benchu, is open and honest, and all the dukes are all confidants. If you have any words, if you are not convenient to discuss after drinking, you can come to the shogunate to discuss it again tomorrow!"

However, although he made it clear that the strategists around him were around him, after the banquet ended, Yuan Shao still secretly used the excuse of "asking Yang Xiu's mother for good" and summoned Yang Xiu to discuss at night, but the strategists didn't know.

Yang Xiu's mother is from the Yuan family. It is natural for Yuan Shao to ask about the situation of his relatives.

Who made Yuan Shao really want to hear some "big rebellious" words in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say them in front of others.

He actually had some vague expectations of Yang Xiu's words.

"Now there are no outsiders, just say something."

Yang Xiu looked left and right and bowed respectfully: "Duke Yuan knows that the situation is going on today? He also knows that the emperor is saved. After returning to Sili, who will benefit the princes in the world and who will suffer? The tigers in all directions have been three or four years. What kind of conquests can be legitimately continued in the future?"

Yuan Shao's face did not change: "Please say it. Anyway, this general is loyal to the country and will never be harmed."

Yang Xiu cheered up and analyzed: "The emperor returned to the court and was not held hostage by powerful officials and thieves. The greatest impact on the princes in the world is that from then on, as long as the emperor is in one day, they will no longer be able to attack each other and compete for the prefectures and counties.

In the past few years, such as Cao Cao destroyed Tao Qian, Yuan Shu killed Chen Wen, Sun Jian took Jiangdong, Hanzhong killed Zhang Jin, and Ming Gong destroyed Gongsun Zan, either in the name of revenge, or in the name of being attacked by the enemy who was attacked, he could always find an excuse to send troops. Such days have never returned.

Because the emperor is free now, listening to the court's fate is no longer obeying the fate, and resisting the court's fate is no longer pacifying the emperor. This time, the emperor defeated Gongsun Zan, at least he was marked as a line by the emperor, and he was recognized as a punishment for rebellion. But what about the future? Ming Duke has already thought of an excuse to expand his power in the future. What can he do and what can he not do?”

Yuan Shao felt a little nervous. He had never thought about this question, mainly because it was not necessary at first. He had fought Gongsun Zan for so long, but now he was suddenly a little empty. He had not yet thought about who the enemy would be in the next stage, so he didn't have time to waste his thoughts on making excuses.

He was sincere, and more importantly, there was no one around him watching him now, so he didn't have to worry about losing face, so he asked for advice very humbly: "Please tell me in detail by virtue!"

Yang Xiu cheered up and continued to analyze: "In today's world, if Ming Gong wants to think clearly, first and most importantly, he must distinguish which are 'Han ministers', which are 'traitors', which can be continued to attack, and which need to find excuses.

I would like to analyze for Ming Duke: Guo Si in Xiliang, Han Sui in Jincheng, is still a great thief in the country. The emperor appointed the enemy to attack and everyone was punished. However, Liangzhou was decayed and seized was not much benefit. Moreover, the current situation is where only the King of Hanzhong can work hard to make efforts in the future.

The other Zhang Yan in Heishan, Guo Tai, Han Xian in Baibo, and Han Xian were also huge bandits over the years. The remnants of the Yellow Turban were not Han officials. Everyone was punished and seized the land and had their people. This was a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor.

The five counties of Hetao, the pseudo-Khan of the Southern Xiongnu, were also rebel forces. They were already determined to be in Fuluo, Hu Chuquan and others to be the masters of Han, and the Hu people in the five counties to be rebellious. The Hanzhong kings can be briefly taken here, and the Ming Duke can also be briefly taken, but they are a little far away from Ming Duke, and they need to annex the desert, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan.

In the north of China, if there is no excuse for legal attacks in the next few years, only these four forces, or if there are sporadic yellow turrets, the surrounding state governors can also be devastated - for example, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. If yellow turrets appear in their jurisdiction, they should be destroyed as soon as possible.

But if a yellow turban appears at the junction of the two sides, it depends on who is far-sighted and clear-headed. For example, if Xiaopei at the junction of Yan, Henan and Xuzhou is reborn, no matter whether Xiaopei was Yuan Shu or Cao Cao's territory before, as long as one side quickly leveled the Yellow Turban, after the quarantine, the territory would belong to him.

Therefore, I can estimate that as long as your Majesty is still in Luoyang, he seems neutral and not hostage, in the future, the princes may deliberately lure the other county into the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then snatch it from the Yellow Turban Thief to avoid the dilemma of "Han ministers attacking each other, as if they were not in the court, and attracting other Han ministers to attack each other."

Looking at the south again, the southern hinterland has now been divided up, and Han officials can only use the above excuses to seize friendly troops. However, on the margins of the south, there are still a large number of barbarians who can be attacked without excuses.

Sun Ce now pretended to be deaf and dumb, and quickly attacked Wang Lang by pretending to be deaf and rushing to attack Wang Lang before the court pacified the four sides.

Later, most of the places in central Fujian were rebellious in Shanyue, and there were no Han officials in the imperial court. Then Sun Ce could continue to annex the land to the south and regenerate and control the population. The Yuzhang County, which Liu Biao was in charge, also bordered with Zhongmei, and could penetrate Shanyue and gradually increase its power.

As for Shi Xie in Lingnan, it was originally only a place of two counties, and the pseudo-Governor of Jiaozhou, Afu Li Jue, was beheaded by General Zhao Fubo last year. The emperor now believes in the King of Hanzhong. If the emperor expresses his edict and has complete etiquette and laws, he will also be appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou, Shi Xie and other prefects of Jiaozhou counties can only submit to the right, and even do not need to move troops.

Therefore, as long as the current situation continues, for the princes located around the world, bordering treasons and barbarians, there will be opportunities to mobilize troops to expand their land population and develop their power in the future. However, for the princes located in the world, such as Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, it is the most unfavorable, because as long as they are restricted by the status of Han ministers, they can no longer start wars at will. If they are less soldiers, they are worried that the surrounding princes will embezzle them. If they have too many soldiers but no wars, they will only spend money and food.

From this point of view, before those rebels and barbarians were annexed by the Han princes, the Ming Duke, King of Hanzhong, Sun Ce, and even Mi Zhu from Liaodong, were the least anxious to change the status quo. You can join forces and expand your power to the barbarians and spread the Han Dynasty's reputation to foreign lands. One or two years later, if all the thieves are destroyed, then you need to be as anxious as Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, and start to consider whether to change the status quo of the court."

Yang Xiu's words were still not as ruthless as this point, and he vaguely pointed out that "Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and even Liu Biao are now one type of people, while Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and Sun Ce can develop to the border areas, another type of people."

This also implies that Yuan Shao, at least a few years, he and Liu Bei are people who need to maintain the same logic of the world's operating rules and regulations, and should be ally at this stage.

These words were also a little analyzed to him before Yang Xiu set off, and Li Su nodded. He could say these words to Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao said in the future, "This matter was said to me by Liu Bei and Li Su", there is no need to be afraid of admitting it.

At the same time, the reason why Li Su acquiesced to Yang Xiu's emphasis was because he felt that this would be beneficial to the entire Han Dynasty. Because in this period when the situation of new legalism could not be due to internal conflicts, the princes in the border areas would have to continue to expand their power, so they could only fight the barbarians, which would be beneficial to "strengthening the Han and depriving the Di Di".

Of course, how long can this potential allies' hint last and what will happen to the next stage? We need to continue to analyze it.

Yuan Shao nodded frequently when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "What about the next stage? Dezu, what about the remnants of the Bian Man and the Yellow Turbans will be eliminated, who should be friends with me in the world?"

Yang Xiu Zhizhu said in his grasp: "Then it depends on the next stage and where the world is going. And it depends on who is suffering from Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, or Liu Biao, who are suffering from the current stage, will be dissatisfied with the current situation first, and will not be willing to watch himself slowly lose blood while other border princes grow. In the end, it is so dissatisfied that he has the courage to jump out and be the leader of the world and risk the slander of the world.

This kind of defiance of the world can first be manifested as "can't help but directly attack other Han ministers as Han ministers to seize territory", and then the other princes who had long been unable to help find excuses to attack them, and finally they were harmed and divided up.

What's more, there is an increasingly unfair move, which is to destroy Sili again, and give the imperial center with heavy heads and weak branches to the court..."

The conscience of heaven and earth is definitely not what Li Su taught Yang Xiu. It was entirely what Yang Xiu relied on his relatives with Yuan Shao and wanted to make contributions, so he said it privately.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but hear the adrenaline soaring: "This... the world is already peaceful, is there such a rebel minister? Isn't it possible?"
