    Release the shackles?

    Yuan Fang's heart was shocked, and excitement flashed in his eyes.

    For Yuan Fang, who currently occupies Qingzhou, the father-son relationship with Yuan Shao is the biggest shackle that binds his hands and feet. Only by lifting this shackle can he gain true freedom.

    At that time, he can truly hold his head high and compete with the heroes of the world in the name of Yuan Fang instead of the name of Yuan Shao's illegitimate son.

    "If you have any clever ideas about being a filial piety, please tell me." Yuan Fang asked urgently.

    Guo Jia swallowed his wine and said calmly: "Loyalty, filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, why not say filial piety and loyalty? If you want to get rid of the shackles of 'filial piety', you will naturally have to make a fuss about loyalty."

    Loyal?

    Yuan Fang's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "The idea of ??filial piety is to ask me to take advantage of the Han Emperor in Chang'an?"

    Guo Jiawei nodded and smiled: "The Han Emperor is just a puppet of Li Guo and other Xiliang princes. That man started his career in the name of conquering the Xiliang Army. No matter who is in power of the Xiliang Army, they will regard him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."  , Now that man has taken control of Jizhou, Li Guo and others must be very afraid, lest that man become powerful."

    After swallowing a sip of wine, Guo Jia lowered his voice and said: "If at this time, the young master secretly sends an envoy to Chang'an to ask the court in his own name to grant the young master the position of Qingzhou Shepherd, what will the court do?"

    After a few words, Yuan Fang suddenly became enlightened and fully understood Guo Jia's intention.

    Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Yuan Fang said happily: "Guo and Li are eager for the civil strife in the Yuan family. They will take the opportunity to force the Han Emperor to agree to my request and be granted the title of Shepherd of Qingzhou. At that time, I was granted the title by the Han court, and my title was justified.  Qingzhou Mu, if that person wants to take Qingzhou from me, he will be disobeying the imperial court and being disloyal to the Han Emperor!"

    Yuan Fang used generous and exciting words to clarify the profound meaning of Guo Jia's plan.

    Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, taking it as his acquiescence.

    This strategy is to use the so-called "loyalty" to the emperor over the so-called "filial piety" to Yuan Shao.

    As long as there is the emperor's will, Yuan Fang is the emperor's minister and guards Qingzhou on the emperor's behalf. Even if he disobeys Yuan Shao or even meets Yuan Shao in battle, he is still fulfilling his duties for the emperor.

    At that time, if Yuan Shao dared to suppress Yuan Fang with unfilial piety, it would be disloyal to the emperor and tantamount to treason.

    Using great righteousness to overwhelm small righteousness, Yuan Fang had to admit that Guo Jia's plan was really brilliant.

    Guo Jia¡¯s reminder made Yuan Fang¡¯s vision suddenly broaden as never before, and the problems that were stuck in his mind were easily solved.

    Without further ado, Yuan Fang immediately adopted Guo Jia's plan, sent word to Sun Qian to come, and ordered him to set off overnight as an envoy to Chang'an with a document requesting him to be the shepherd of Qingzhou, as well as gifts to the emperor.

    Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Qingzhou, and it takes more than a month to get there. Yuan Fang doesn't have much time left. He must seize the time and get the emperor's imperial edict as soon as possible.

    On the same day, Sun Qian was ordered to leave Yangdu, pretending to be a businessman, and rushed to Chang'an at night.

    Yuan Fang also planned to rest for a few days, and after Tao Qian's troops began to withdraw southward, he would lead his army back to the plains.

    If he falls out with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao sends troops to attack, Pingyuan will be the first frontline to bear the brunt. Yuan Fang must seize the time to build Pingyuan cities, gather grain and grass, and appease people in order to prepare for the drastic changes in the near future.

    The next day.

    On the same day, Yuan Fang held a banquet in Yangdu, feasting all the generals with meat and wine to celebrate the victory of this battle.

    After being drunk all night, Yuan Fang woke up at noon the next day.

    As soon as he stepped into the outer tent, Yuan Gui hurried over and said with cupped hands: "Master, Ju County is reporting urgently that a grain transport team of our army was robbed by bandits, and 20,000 hu of grain and grass were robbed."

    Food and grass were robbed?

    Yuan Fang¡¯s eyebrows narrowed, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his originally sleepy face.

    "Where do these bandits come from? They are so arrogant and dare to rob my military supplies on my territory?" Yuan Fang said angrily.

    The bandits in Langye were already surrendered by Tao Qian. Now that tens of thousands of Yuan Fang's troops have gathered in Langye, they still dare to have bandits and openly rob him of his food and grass. This is really audacious.

    Although twenty thousand hu of grain and grass is not much, it is a blatant provocation to Yuan Fang, Langxie¡¯s new master.

    "It is reported that the leader of the bandit is named Xu Sheng, and he is entrenched in the majestic valley near Ju County. He has nearly 700 bandits under his command."

    Xu Sheng?

    Hearing this name, Yuan Fang's eyes moved slightly, and his anger subsided a bit.

    "Xu Sheng? Could it be that this person is the general Xu Sheng who served under Soochow in history?"

    Yuan Fang immediately became interested and called Zhuge Jin, a man from Langxie, to ask about Xu Sheng's background.

      From Zhuge Jin's mouth, Yuan Fang learned that Xu Sheng was originally a small powerful man in Ju County. He was not weak in martial arts and had a reputation as a knight-errant. He was also quite famous in the northern part of Langxie.

    When Yuan Fang led his army southward, the Xuzhou army fled all the way south. The magistrate of Ju County Kaicheng surrendered to Yuan Fang, but Xu Sheng was unwilling to surrender, so he fled to the rugged valley in the southeast of the county. Relying on his reputation, he  A group of people were gathered together, and they turned into bandits.

    "My army is marching south, and all the counties are surrendering. Why does this Xu Sheng want to go against me?" Yuan Fang was a little confused.

    Zhuge Jin coughed a few times and said: "To be fair to you, since Liu Bei became Langxie Prime Minister, he has been claiming that he is cruel and unkind, and that he burns, kills, and loots the people wherever he goes. That Xu Sheng is a loyal man, I think he believes it.  Liu Bei said that he would do this if he was hostile to the young master."

    ?????????????????????????? It seems that it¡¯s Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, who spreads rumors and slanders everywhere, causing trouble.

    The generals on the left and right were all angry and asked Yuan Fang to send troops to annihilate Xu Sheng and other bandits.

    If they were ordinary grass bandits, Yuan Fang would never allow them to run wild on his own territory, but this Xu Sheng was an unexpected surprise for him who was in urgent need of talents.

    After pondering for a moment, Yuan Fang calmed down the anger of the generals and ordered the troops to prepare to move as planned. Yuan Fang then led his 700 cavalry to Ju County overnight.

    When the sky was still dark, Yuan Fang took a detour from the west gate of Ju County and entered the county in a low-key manner.

    At this time, Guo Huai, who was in charge of transporting grain, heard that the grain and grass were passive, so he led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Ju County in advance.

    When Guo Huai learned of Yuan Fang's arrival, he rushed to the county government to see him.

    As soon as they met, Guo Huai felt ashamed and said: "Huai didn't protect the food well, and he actually ordered Xu Sheng, the bandit, to rob the army food. Please punish me."

    Yuan Fang said: "I have already understood that Xu Sheng is quite capable. The number of food protection troops I allocated to you is not enough. It is normal for him to rob you. You don't have to blame yourself."

    Guo Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, sir. Huai is willing to lead the army to conquer the majestic mountains, and he will definitely defeat Xu Sheng and his group of bandits."

    "We don't have to work hard. I have my own way. I can ask Xu Sheng to come to my door and throw myself into a trap." Yuan Fang sneered.

    Guo Huai suddenly looked strange, but he couldn't guess what Yuan Fang could do to ask the bandits entrenched in the mountains to come to his door.

    Yuan Fang flicked his hand and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order to seal the four gates of Ju County. No one is allowed to enter but not to leave. If the rumor is spread to the outside world, it will be said that the people of Ju County are secretly collaborating with the thief Xu Sheng. Everyone is guilty."  , I have ordered a bloodbath in Ju County."

    Hearing the words "bloodbath in Ju County", Guo Huai's expression was shocked, and his eyes could not help but flash with fear.

    "Sir, just one bandit slaughtered the people of a county with blood, it seems" Guo Huai was waiting to persuade him, but suddenly he saw something mysterious in Yuan Fang's eyes.

    Suddenly, Guo Huai realized Yuan Fang's intention, swallowed the words on his lips, and raised a knowing smile at the corner of his mouth.
