Chapter 002 The big straw bag and the old straw bag
"How can people guess the intention of a tiger?" Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shao and said lightly.
The meaning in the words clearly means that Dong Zhuo is the king of the jungle, domineering and cruel, and has a different mindset from ordinary people.
Yuan Wei was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and pondered silently.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
When he looked up again, Yuan Wei's expression became extremely serious, no longer as free and easy as before.
Yuan Shao kept observing Yuan Wei's expression. Seeing that his expression was different, he realized that Yuan Wei was beginning to shake.
Yuan Shao actually didn't know Dong Zhuo, but he couldn't care about this.
Make Yuan Shu proud? What a joke! Yuan Shao knew how powerful the Yuan family is. The accumulation of four generations and three masters over thousands of years is definitely beyond others' imagination. Therefore, Yuan Shao has always been eyeing the position of the head of the family. As his biggest competitor, Yuan Shu cannot relax for a moment and resolutely suppress it.
"My brother is so clever! You must know that although a tiger is brave, it is not as smart as a hunter. A smart hunter can even control a tiger and injure the enemy." Yuan Shao couldn't wait to refute.
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Wei's face changed and he felt very relaxed.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao was naturally very proud and looked at Yuan Shu provocatively.
Just now, Yuan Shu glanced at him, as if he was sarcastic, which made Yuan Shao feel angry. If Yuan Wei had not been present, he might have had an attack on the spot.
Now that we can recover our disadvantages, we will naturally show off and express resentment.
"A person has no intention of hurting the tiger, and a tiger is harmful to the hearts of others. Intent to control a tiger is nothing like accompanying the tiger by his body. His life is no longer his own control. How could this be done by a real man?" Yuan Shu ignored Yuan Shao's provocation and still looked light, but there was a little bit of sharpness in his words.
In fact, why didn’t Yuan Shu want to inherit the position of the head of the Yuan family? People who did not live in this era would never imagine how powerful the aristocratic family was.
After years of understanding, Yuan Shu also learned most of it, and he was shocked.
"No wonder the last winner of the Three Kingdoms was a family!" Yuan Shu thought.
The Sima family was one of the largest aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty. In history, Sima Yi and his son were able to steal the Cao Wei dynasty, which was inseparable from the support of the aristocratic families.
Yuan Shao dominated Hebei in history and was extremely powerful because he obtained the huge resources and reputation of the Yuan family. Otherwise, with his ability, he would have no way to defeat the white horse general Gongsun Zan who was scattered in Youzhou.
Yuan Shu dreamed of getting the support of the Yuan family, but unfortunately, Yuan Wei, the head of Yuan Wei, was more optimistic about Yuan Shao at this time, and Yuan Shu had no choice but to do anything about this.
At that moment, Yuan Wei pondered for a moment, looked up at Yuan Shu, and asked in a deep voice: "According to the meaning of the road, how should we act?"
Yuan Shu straightened up and bowed and said, "Dong Zhuo has just arrived in Luoyang and has not yet established a foothold. Although the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is so huge that it is tens of thousands, my nephew thinks that many of them are deficient, perhaps less than ten thousand. And the court officials of our aristocratic families still control tens of thousands of Northern Army, which is enough to fight and expel Dong Zhuo or even kill him."
Yuan Shu, who knew the direction of history, understood that by the time Dong Zhuo completely controlled Luoyang, the court would no longer have a foothold in the Yuan family, and the same was true for other aristocratic families.
Dong Zhuo, the evil tiger, will never allow others to wield their wildness in his "territory".
The best way now is to quickly eliminate Dong Zhuo while he is not strong enough. This may be reversed. Although the world cannot be peaceful, if there are many families who are dealing with each other, they should be able to survive for a while.
"No!" Yuan Shao shouted and said anxiously: "If we follow Brother Shu's plan, we will die without a place to bury us! The Northern Army has only been stationed in the capital for many years and is neglected to fight. How can we be the opponent of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry? What's more, everyone's heart is not clear. How can we know that there is no Dong Zhuo among the court officials? If we turn against each other at the time of the battle, what should we do?"
A trace of contempt flashed across Yuan Shu's face, and he curled his lips and said, "I'm so mad! More than me!"
You should know that Xiliang is on the border, far away from Luoyang, and there is still a Yongzhou in the middle. In such a short period of time, the Xiliang army could not reach Luoyang at all.
Dong Zhuo's advancement this time started from Hedong, and the Hedong defenders would not exceed 100,000 in full battle. Dong Zhuo could bring even less. It is unknown who will win and who will lose when fighting to the death.
Just as Yuan Shu was about to refute, he saw Yuan Wei nodding in agreement and said, "The original words are reasonable, and we still need to be cautious and not act rashly."
Yuan Wei was frightened by Yuan Shao's alarmist words, and he was already a little afraid of Dong Zhuo, so he rejected Yuan Shu's plan at once.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu sighed secretly. Although Yuan Wei was ranked among the third Duke, he was the head of the Yuan family. Unfortunately, he had little knowledge and limited wisdom. The only opportunity to expel Dong Zhuo was given up by him.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shu cheered up and advised again: "Since my uncle doesn't want to, we will prepare immediately and leave this place of right and wrong. Otherwise, when Dong Zhuo's situation is settled, he will be the knife and the meat of fish!"
"No!" As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, before Yuan Wei could think, Yuan Shao spoke again and said: "Dong Zhuo is a martial artist. He only knows how to control the military and does not understand the government. The court will eventually fall into the hands of court officials and our aristocratic families. At that time, it will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers! We will leave at this critical moment, so why don't we give up the interests to others?"
Yuan Wei listened to Yuan Shao's short-sighted remarks, which disappointed Yuan Shu.
He shook his head secretly and thought to himself: "What a big fool and an old fool! Even if the demon Zhuge comes, he can't save the person who is looking for death!"
In fact, Yuan Shu didn't have to save Yuan Wei. The relationship between the two can only be considered ordinary. Yuan Wei values Yuan Shao, who is respectful and noble and has made friends with heroes. Although Yuan Shu has some prestige among the scholars, how could people from aristocratic families like Yuan Wei care about the scholars?
In Yuan Wei's mind, Yuan Shu may be able to improve the prestige of the Yuan family, but when it comes to taking charge of the family, Yuan Shao still needs to be righteous and heroic. This can be seen from the conversation between the three of them just now.
Yuan Shu also had an average vision of Yuan Wei. For the sake of taking care of him over the years, he would persuade him to do his best.
Now that Yuan Wei is looking for death himself, Yuan Shu doesn't force him.
After putting away his thoughts, Yuan Shu corrected his face and bowed and said, "Uncle! My former nephew was named the prefect of Nanyang, but he knew that the eunuch had not taken office, so he should go to the post now."
Yuan Wei was stunned, looked at Yuan Shu deeply, nodded and said, "Forget it! When will you set off?"
"It's not time to go south tonight," Yuan Shu said expressionlessly.
"Tonight!" Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Yuan Shu was in such a hurry.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing this.
Yuan Shao has always regarded Yuan Shu as the number one enemy, but if Yuan Shu leaves Luoyang, it would be equivalent to giving up everything from the Yuan family and staying away from the position of head of the Yuan family.
At this time, Yuan Shao seemed to have seen the head of the family waving to him, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
"My nephew still has some trivial matters to deal with, and he needs to prepare for going south, so he won't bother his uncle!" As he said that, Yuan Shu stood up, bowed and left the hall.
Looking at Yuan Shu's departure, Yuan Wei frowned slightly. Looking back on the past, his heart couldn't help but sink.
"Could it be that Luoyang really cannot be kept?"
Over the years, although Yuan Shu has kept a low profile and rarely makes any comments to Yuan Wei, he can only give advice and everything will come true.
A few years ago, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept across Jiuzhou. Long before the uprising, Yuan Shu advised that Zhang Jiao was too ambitious and difficult to control and should be prepared.
You should know that the Yellow Turban Army did not only have contacts with eunuchs such as Zhang Rang, but also some aristocratic families also had unclear relationships with the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yuan family was listed.
Yuan Shu only learned about these secrets after a deep understanding of the family power.
When Yuan Shu learned that the aristocratic family had a close relationship with the Yellow Turban Army, he suddenly realized and finally understood why the Yellow Turban Army, which claimed to be a million, would not notice it. It turned out that it was because the aristocratic family members were indulging.
After Emperor Ling ascended the throne, he promoted eunuchs to deal with the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family was very dissatisfied with this, so they secretly supported the Yellow Turban, which was a deterrent to the court. Unfortunately, the aristocratic family did not realize Zhang Jiao's ambitions.
As the Yellow Turban Army continued to grow, Zhang Jiao's ambitions began to slowly expand, and he was unwilling to be tricked by the aristocratic family, and even had the intention to win the world.
At that time, Yuan Shu's advice was not valued by Yuan Wei.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, the Yuan family suffered heavy losses. Runan was originally the foundation of the Yuan family, but it was destroyed in the war. For this reason, the Yuan family had to move its power north to Jizhou.
Afterwards, Yuan Wei was quite regretful. He was immediately embarrassed when he thought of Yuan Shu's previous suggestions. However, in order to maintain the majesty of his head of his family, Yuan Wei did not admit his mistakes and surrender to Yuan Shu, and he felt even more grudges. It may not be possible that this is the reason for excluding Yuan Shu from the head of his family.
The lessons of the past are still in front of you, and Yuan Wei couldn't help but hesitate.
Just as Yuan Wei was thinking about whether to leave Luoyang, Yuan Shao suddenly said, "Uncle! We still need to run around to contact the court officials as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by others!"
Yuan Shao was able to win Yuan Wei's favor, so he naturally had his own unique features.
After years of experience, Yuan Shao has the ability to observe his expressions and expressions. Seeing that Yuan Wei was a little hesitant, he quickly changed the subject and diverted his attention.
When Yuan Wei heard this, he immediately threw all his concerns behind his head and nodded, "Okay! You'll go and prepare, and I'll visit other court officials later."
"Yes!" Yuan Shao took the order and turned around and left the hall.
After leaving the hall, Yuan Shao showed a smile on his face and thought to himself: "Highway, highway! I am sorry, I regard you as a great enemy. I don't want you to be so unbearable. I am in vain to pay so much attention to you!"
In a smug manner, Yuan Shao walked towards his courtyard with light steps.
