Chapter 1244: Yuan Benchu

Yuan Shao immediately unfolded the imperial edict to watch.

This edict to hunt down thieves was written in a hurry by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and it is not much different from the content of the clothing belt edict.

In the back, the words of the country's thieves oppressing and killing the noble concubine were added, and finally ordered the heroes of the world to attack Cao Cao together, and most of them were appointed officials.

For example, Liu Biao was named General of Wei, Liu Zhang was named General of Chariots, Ma Teng was named General of Hussars, Sun Ce was named General of Zhengnan, and so on.

Yuan Shao himself was a great general, ranking above the three lords, and he could not be named great; however, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty might be looking at Yuan Xi's face, and made Yuan Shao the great Sima.

The Great Sima was set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Wei Qing, and he was especially honored and favored. During Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the title of Da Sima was revoked, and now Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty became overwhelmed and raised this honorary title again.

Bai Xiaowen can't do anything about it, he can't control what Emperor Han Xian wants to write in the edict-he is still in the stage of gaining the trust of Emperor Han Xian, of course he can't just write anything in the edict like Cao Cao, and let Emperor Han Xian become a seal machine.

Bai Xiaowen's identity as Yuan Xi was also specifically mentioned by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, saying that Yuan Xi had made great achievements in breaking Xudu, and he was specially promoted as the general who conquered the north and also led the Yuzhou herdsman.

Here I will talk about the military positions in the Three Kingdoms plane.

The general ranks above the Sangong, and the following are naturally the Sangong: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong.

Below the great generals are General Hushi, General Cheqi and General Wei, who are slightly lower than Sangong, but slightly higher than Jiuqing; further down are the four generals, front, back, left and right, who are higher than Jiuqing.

The above three levels of military positions can be regarded as "central military positions".

In addition, there are military positions of "four expeditions and four towns" and "siping and four security", which can be regarded as "local military positions", and their logic is lower than that of Jiuqing.

However, due to the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, chaos in the military system is inevitable. The generals of the Four Expeditions are often the commander-in-chief of a certain army, and their importance and status have been greatly enhanced. It is not easy to compare with the Sangong Jiuqing in the central government.

In the system of four campaigns, four towns, four peace and four security, the military title of "Zheng" is the largest, followed by "Zhen", and so on.

Bai Xiaowen's promotion as the General Who Conquered the North was an extraordinary promotion. As for the reward of Yuzhou Mu, it was also caused by the selfishness of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Whose territory is Yuzhou? Cao Cao.

Appointing Bai Xiaowen as the shepherd of Yuzhou, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty wanted Bai Xiaowen to stick to Xudu and fight Cao Cao desperately.

In addition, Bai Xiaowen is still Yuan Shao's son. In the eyes of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, his son is fighting Cao Cao desperately, so there is no reason for him not to help him, and he is bound to fight Cao Cao to the death.

Yuan Shao had read the imperial edict, and took over Yuan Xi's family letter from Li Shuyi, read it briefly, and basically explained why troops were sent to attack Xudu, as well as some follow-up suggestions.

In fact, Yuan Shao was still happy in his heart. Let alone whether Bai Xiaowen had his consent to send troops, being able to copy Cao Cao's lair was a great achievement, and no one could deny it. The originally deadlocked battle situation is likely to be one-sided.

In addition, the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty granting him the title of Da Sima also made Yuan Shao feel more face.

Sitting in front of the desk, Yuan Shao stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "The imperial edict and Xianyi's letter are all passed on for you to read."

After seeing it, all the counselors congratulated Yuan Shao, and naturally praised Bai Xiaowen.

In the military tent, there was joy and peace, but some people were still upset.

The one who was upset was of course Yuan Shang, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart: the second brother has been too capable of causing trouble recently!

What is the purpose of jumping up and down like this?

With Yuan Shang's thinking, he can only think of one possibility: Yuan Xizhi is in the struggle for an heir!

Originally, Yuan Shang wanted to compete with his elder brother Yuan Tan for the establishment of an heir, relying on the idea of ​​"establishing a virtuous man", which can slightly counter the practice of "establishing a chief". But now that Yuan Xi came out, Li Xian lost Yuan Shang's share!

In Yuan Shang's heart, he immediately listed his second brother Yuan Xi as the biggest threat.

If you want to compete with the eldest brother Yuan Tan, you have to defeat the second brother first!

Yuan Shang gestured to Feng Ji frequently.

As everyone knows, Feng Ji is also thinking hard in his heart. But the imperial edict and Bai Xiaowen's letters are impeccable; the great achievement of attacking Xu Du can completely cover up the crime of sending troops without permission, so what can he use to criticize?

Although Yuan Shao has soft ears, he is not a fool. Now it was Yuan Shao's interest, if Feng Ji attacked Yuan Xi out of nothing, he would definitely be reprimanded.

Feng Ji could only try his best to apply a little eye medicine: "My lord, Xu You seemed to propose to attack Xu Du a few days ago? Calculate the time, it seems to coincide with the time when the second son sent troops. I haven't seen Xu You these few days, could it be..."

Yuan Shao's face froze. Just a few days ago, Xu You persuaded him to send Qingqi to attack Xu Du. Because Xu You's nephew was greedy for ink in Yecheng, he rejected Xu You's offer and even scolded him. He hasn't seen him these days.

Now Yuan Xi proves with facts that Xu You is right and he is wrong!

Could it be that Yuan Xi had adopted Xu You's proposal to surprise Xu Du?

Doesn't this mean that I, Yuan Benchu, have no eyesight and no good plan? Worse than a son?

The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more likely it was, and the smile on his face stiffened.

Ju Shou said:

"Impossible. The surprise attack on Xudu by Youzhou soldiers and horses is a long way away, and it takes many days of planning in advance to make it happen. According to the time calculation, Xu You's plan was not accepted, and the time when the second son left Youzhou was almost the same. Let Xu You Because you failed to offer a plan, it would take several days of preparation time to switch to the Second Young Master's office, and even now it may not be possible to send troops! Let alone obtain the results of the battle.

"That's why I conclude that the Second Young Master's surprise attack on Xu Du did not rely on Xu You's advice. It can only be said that the heroes have the same views. Xu You and the Second Young Master coincidentally agreed on the decision to surprise Xu Du!"

What Ju Shou said was correct, but Yuan Shao's expression became even uglier.

What a hero who sees the same thing, so what am I? Is it an idiot?

The atmosphere in the tent became stiff following Yuan Shao's expression.

Feng Ji glanced at Ju Shou, secretly laughing in his heart. What good is it for you to have wisdom and plan, but not to figure out the character and mind of the lord?

Just when Feng Ji wanted to add fuel to the flames, Li Shuyi suddenly said:

"My lord, when the young master sent the last general to deliver the letter, there was a word to advise the lord to be cautious and defend, not to underestimate the enemy and act rashly, in case the Cao thief jumps over the wall in a hurry."

Yuan Shao hummed, waved his hand and said: "You go down now! This is a high-level military council, you are a partial general, you are not qualified to be here."

After Li Shuyi withdrew, Ju Shou said: "What the Second Young Master said is very true..."

"Come on," Yuan Shao waved his hand to stop Jushou, "Cao's army was short of food, and now Xu has been destroyed, just like a bereaved dog. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to attack, how can you expand the results of the battle? The children were lucky for a while, and they succeeded with strange soldiers. This is a great achievement, but when it comes to the overall situation of the war, it still owes some consideration."

Feng Ji expressed admiration: "My lord is wise!"

A group of melon-eaters also followed suit. As for the generals in the account, it is not their specialty to make plans, so it is natural to follow what others say.
