Chapter 292: Another plan

Chapter 292 Another Plan

Huangfu Jian cried for a long time and screamed until he was exhausted, but he was still very sad.

Shi A was not good at speaking and glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu understood, took a step forward, and said softly: "Second Young Master, Grand Sima's funeral was extremely mournful and honorable. Your Majesty even granted a title to the imperial family."

When Huangfu Jianchang heard the voice, he gritted his teeth, took a long breath, wiped his face as if crying and laughing, and kowtowed heavily, then he slowly calmed down.

After he stood up, he patted his face again and said, "Tell me about the situation."

Seeing that he still looked sad, Shi A did not say anything.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Second Master, Yuan Shu was busy proclaiming himself emperor and did not continue to send troops. However, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Shi Xie and others have prepared their troops and have issued a manifesto, preparing to fight Yuan Shu together."

Huangfu Jianchang tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Their thoughts are nothing more than expanding their power, but Yuan Shu brought about his own destruction, and even the gods can't save him. What is the reaction from the court?"

Cheng Yu said, "Your Majesty has issued an edict, appointing Zhang Wen as the Left General, leading Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Shi Xie and others, a total of 300,000 troops to suppress the rebellion."

Huangfu Jian frowned subconsciously, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Zhang Wen?"

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Huangfu Jian suddenly smiled and said: "Our Huangfu family is in great mourning. There is nothing to be sad about. Tell us about Dong Zhuo's news."

Cheng Yu said: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I have already ordered someone to investigate secretly."

The voice became clearer. A guard from the Imperial City Palace, who was dressed as a steward, ran over and whispered, "Captain, these are Yuan Shu's soldiers. They are forcibly recruiting young men."

In the "temporary palace" of Shouchun, Yuan Shu sat in the main seat with a proud and cheerful look on his face.

Cheng Yu had never thought about this. When he heard this, his face changed and he said, "Second Master, the court must not allow this!"

Cheng Yu's expression changed immediately. He had a strong bad feeling and said, "I'll send someone to check again!"

The three of them looked slightly solemn, glanced at each other, and silently left the secret room and came outside.

It's really a way to seek death!

While Huangfu Jianchang and others were discussing, Shouchun City was bustling with activity.

Huangfu Jianchang wiped his face again, exhaled, shook his head and said, "If I don't make some achievements, I won't be able to go back with dignity."

Cheng Yu listened to the gongs and drums and shouts outside and said, "Second Master, Kong Jun is not Dong Zhuo's confidant, so he may not be clear. Should we use that person?"

Dangdang~

Suddenly, there was a noise outside. The three people in the secret room were startled and looked at each other.

The staff and subordinates did not fully agree with Yuan Shu's declaration of emperorship, and many of them remained silent.

Yuan Shu naturally saw through these people clearly. He glanced at them coldly, but laughed loudly and said, "Everyone, how are the preparations for the coronation ceremony going?"

Huangfu Jian's thoughts gradually returned. He looked outside the wall and said, "Recruit more people and send them to Dong Zhuo. Not only Dong Zhuo, but also Lu Bu, Sun Jian and others. Also, find a way to find out where their money and food are."

Huangfu Jianchang agreed deeply, but couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Yu also thought so and said, "According to my guess, the court may want to attack Guo as a pretext. Destroying Yuan is the real goal, and taking the opportunity to weaken or eliminate the various princes in the south is also a set goal."

Huangfu Jian stroked his chin and said, "Mr. Cheng, send some people over to help him."

He had been running around all these years just to prove to Huangfu Song that he was not a waste.

It won't be long before the entire South is in chaos and no place will be safe.

Yuan Shu was very pleased with Guo Tu's words, but he was not completely overwhelmed by the victory. He looked around and said, "I want to lead the army in person to defeat Sun Jian first. What do you think?"

Every household is decorated with lights and festive sounds are everywhere.

Huangfu Jianchang had no intention of running now, so he said, "Okay. Write a letter to the Grand Marshal's Mansion for me, and then write a secret letter to His Majesty."

Feng Ji was the first to raise his hand and flattered, "My lord, everything will be ready within a month and I will definitely not delay your coronation ceremony!"

Compared with Liu Biao's covert actions, Sun Jian was more direct. He dared to do anything, openly and openly, and turned a deaf ear to the court's orders.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable with Yuan Shu's self-proclaimed name and title. In addition, many people opposed Yuan Shu's enthronement, and felt that they should not continue the war, but should focus on defense.

Who could have thought that Yuan Shu would actually proclaim himself emperor?

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu also became a little hesitant.

If a war really breaks out one day, if they rob or burn the money and food in the rear, they will surely win without fighting!

He stared at the map and said, "It shouldn't be. I can see that there is no reason why His Majesty and the officials in the court don't know. They must have other plans."

Occasionally, I saw officers and soldiers arresting people everywhere, and the cries disappeared quickly.

"No!"

Huangfu Jianchang's answer was unusually straightforward, saying, "We can't use him unless it's a critical moment. That Jia Xu is still a recluse, and we can't get to know him."

Huangfu Jian thought for a while and said, "I want to go meet that Kong Jun."

Huangfu Jian looked at him and asked, "Has your majesty given me an order?"

Cheng Yu and Shi A both stopped talking.

Their secret room is extremely soundproof. How loud a sound would have to be to be heard clearly?

Huangfu Jian didn't care. Yuan Shu had been doing this for a long time. He was about to wave his hand to dismiss him when he suddenly asked, "Dong Zhuo, is there really no movement?"

"I do have some friendship with Guan Yu."

Cheng Yu glanced at Huangfu Song's spirit tablet again and said, "Second Master, I want to go to Xiang County."

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I also feel something is wrong. Zhang Wen has been away from the court for many years and cannot control these people. This appointment seems to have a deeper meaning."

The seats below were filled with dozens of people including Guo Tu, Ju Yi, Xu You, Ji Ling, Yuan Huan, Feng Ji, etc., but the atmosphere was quite different from that outside.

It was not known whether it was because the successful granary robberies several times had given Huangfu Jianchang some kind of excitement that he became extremely concerned about the word "money and grain".

Cheng Yu knew that Huangfu Jian was not sincere in his words, but he did not know how to comfort him, so he could only continue: "Dong Zhuo is not a Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu is very restless. He has been trying to advance into Guangling County recently. He has fought several battles with Sun Jian, and both sides have won and lost."

Liu Bei didn't make any big mistakes, but he also didn't have any conspicuous achievements.

Guo Tu followed up and said, "My lord, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and the like are just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning. As for Zhang Wen, he has long been dead, so there is no need to worry. And Liu Bei is just a kid, my lord, you can send a general to deal with him. Finally, Yuan Shao is my lord's servant, why should you be afraid of him?"

This time, the campaign against Yuan Shu was in full swing, and Liu Bei's ability began to be questioned.

In Cheng Yu's view, money and food are the foundation of everything. The reason why the court is in trouble is because there is no money and food. And those princes with different thoughts also need money and food.

Cheng Yu understood what Chief Huangfu Jian meant and said, "Okay. We need to keep an eye on Yuan Shao as well."

Huangfu Jianchang nodded without thinking and said: "The imperial court is too weak. If we really want to start a war, all these years of hard work will be reduced to nothing. Suddenly we will be back to the Zhongping period, and it will even be more dangerous."

This second young master had been a jerk for a long time, but after following him for a long time, the two men clearly realized that he was cynical and hid his "inferiority complex" in his heart.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Song died of illness.

Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How should we respond to Zhang Wen sent by the court?"

Cheng Yu said: "No. But I have sent a message, still hoping that the Second Young Master will return to the capital."

Huangfu Jianchang shook his head decisively and said: "You can't go to the place of right and wrong. Let our people get moving and send all the news, whether true or false. By the way, we can't stay in Shouchun anymore. Find another place."

For a time, the whole world was slandered and the whole world was his enemy!

Huangfu Jian suddenly sneered and said, "That's enough. But we can't relax on Sun Jian's side. Most of the Jiangdong families support him."

Compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei's official career was relatively "smooth". This "smooth" means that the setbacks Liu Bei experienced were basically because he couldn't stand those corrupt and mediocre officials, so he resigned on his own.

Huangfu Jianzhang was slightly confused, but his mind was still not working. He asked, "What should we do next?"

Therefore, after Yuan Shu finished speaking, the hall became quiet.

Before being promoted by Liu Bian, he traveled around and made many small contributions but no major achievements. He had only served as a county magistrate.

Shi A took over and said, "My people have been watching for half a month, and only saw him once, and he was heavily guarded."

Huangfu Jianchang spent a lot of time and effort against Dong Zhuo, and placed a large number of people in Dong Zhuo's shogunate, army, and even his mansion.

Cheng Yu said, "Second Master, I'm afraid no one will be able to see it. Yuan Shu's coronation date is set for a month from now, and he may not be able to last a month."

Cheng Yu had always been Huangfu Jian's chief military advisor. Hearing this, he said, "I have thought about this carefully, Second Young Master. Yuan Shu's defeat is imminent. The most important thing right now is Dong Zhuo. I suggest that you stay put, stay in Xiang County, and watch the situation change. You can respond to all changes with a constant and make a complete plan."

Cheng Yu nodded in agreement.

Huangfu Jian nodded, and as the gongs and drums faded away, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "What do you think, can Liu Bei do it?"

Huangfu Jian glanced at the map on the wall, which was marked with names. He examined it carefully for a while and said to himself, "Liu Bei, Yuan Shao... shouldn't it be Cao Cao? If it's not Cao Cao, then your majesty has other plans... Your majesty, are you ready to wipe out Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop?"

After saying this, Huangfu Jian looked out of the wall for a long time and said with emotion: "It's a pity that I can't see the grand ceremony of Yuan Shu's enthronement..."

Yuan Shu waited for a while, and seeing that no one was flattering him, he couldn't help but look a little cold.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he snorted coldly and said, "I know that you have received a lot of letters recently. I hope that you understand the meaning of loyalty."

This sentence made countless people below stunned and even nauseated.
