Chapter 74

The first day of February, the second year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (191).

Today was destined to be an extraordinary day.

In Jizhou, Changshan Commandery, Zhending County.

The Changshan prefect, General Yangwu, and the son of Jizhou Governor Han Fu, Han Yu, waged war against Yuan Shao throughout the nine counties of Jizhou and even the entire world.

An oath with hundreds of words.

However, Yuan Shao's ten great sins are listed in the oath, which includes:

Yuan Shao sent troops to join the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he did not inform his uncle Yuan Hui beforehand so that he could avoid disaster as soon as possible, this led to Yuan Hui's family being massacred by Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao's mother came from a humble background, but she was a concubine and not an aristocrat.

Sun Jian fought against Dong Zhuo, and he did a good job, but Yuan Shao sent men to cut his food and grains, thus making the allied army fail in the war against Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao was a Prefect in Jizhou province and the coalition leader, but he only wanted to strengthen his own power.

In the end, he even united with outsiders to plot Jizhou, which led to the loss of many lives in Jizhou and the displacement of the population.

In this oath, there are ten in total.

These ten main vows are to insult Yuan Shao's reputation and inform the world of Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions in Jizhou.

In particular, Yuan Shao's plot for Jizhou is so detailed that anyone who has read this written oath has no choice but to believe its authenticity.

Han Yu looked at the letter, and said solemnly:

"As soon as possible, spread this oath to the residences of all the major Warlords, and at the same time, spread it to all counties and ties in Jizhou. I want the entire world to clearly see how the Yuan family they admire really is. So disgusting!"

"After the oath is issued, I, Han Yu, and Yuan Shao are sworn enemies, there is only one end, whether he dies or I die!"

"When the oath arrives, whoever helps Yuan Shao will be my enemy!"

"I have decided to cut ties with Yuan Shao, and you don't need to persuade me anymore!"

In Han Yu's view, declaring war on Yuan Shao was not good for him in the short term.

But in the long run, it's really good.

In particular, issuing an order to expose Yuan Shao's crimes could allow Han Yu to stand at the pinnacle of reigning truth.

After all, Yuan Shao tried to plot Jizhou first, then Han Yu refused and resisted, Han Yu was the weaker side, and it was easier to win the sympathy of the world.

And there are still many people in Jizhou who are loyal to Han Fu, Han Yu can use this to win over the old clan of Han.

At the same time, more people will remain neutral.

As long as Han Yu prevailed, more people would vote to support Han Yu.

Even though Yuan Shao was the third Warlord of the fourth generation, and had a formidable reputation, someone with broad knowledge valued his future more than his background.

What's more, although Han Yu's background was not as good as Yuan Shao's, he was also the son of the Governor of Jizhou.

In addition, Han Yu was distraught that Han Fu would let Jizhou out again like in history.

However, once this oath reached the Jizhou Governor, Han Fu and Yuan Shao's relationship would be completely destroyed.

At that time, Han Fu would not necessarily hand over Jizhou again. After all, Han Fu had to consider his own life as well.

As long as Han Fu does not let Jizhou go, Jizhou will not easily fall into Yuan Shao's hands, and Han Yu will have more opportunities to fight Yuan Shao.

So under Han Yu's orders, one article after another was sent.

The oath was spread everywhere, and everyone was shocked!

Not only the officials from all over the country, but also the noble families have considered the advantages and disadvantages and started to wait and see, and even ordinary people can feel the atmosphere of crisis.

This was truly unprecedented and was full of killing intent.

This was not just a crusade written by the son of the Governor of Jizhou against the prefect of a County under Jizhou.

It was also a challenge for the world's first famous family.

You must know that when the Eighteen Warlords attacked Dong Zhuo, there was never an oath to explain his crimes.

As for Yuan Shao, who was famous in later generations, he was only talking badly about Cao Cao behind his back.

Thus, as soon as Han Yu's oath came out, it spread to Changshan Commandery and began to spread to all sides.

Presumably, in ten months, the entire Jizhou and even the entire world will be shaken by this.

The release of this oath marked the war between Han Fu and Yuan Shao.

After the oath was issued, Han Yu said:

"Once the oath reaches the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao will surely be furious and attack me. The top priority is that we have to find Zhang Yan's main force of the Heishan army as soon as possible and crush the Heishan bandit rebellion in one fell swoop. Only in this way can we fight Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, in order to avoid constraining the Heishan Army at the rear, we must pacify the Heishan bandits as soon as possible, and persuade the farmers to immediately plant the fields. If the spring of plowing passes, I am afraid that there will not be enough food and grain to support us in the war with Yuan Shao."

Han Yu nodded: "Zilong, Junyi, the two of you quickly dispatched troops to find the location of Zhang Yan's Heishan troops, and quickly reported after finding Zhang Yan's main forces."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun and Zhang He took the lead.

After the oath was released, Han Yu was also a little excited and nervous.

From this moment on, he would truly begin to compete with the world's heroes for hegemony.

"Ding, it has been detected that Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, is conspiring against Jizhou, and the Governor of Jizhou Han Fu is about to give Jizhou away."

"Ding, the God-Level Choice Selection System is being released!"

Mission Option 1: Let Yuan Shao occupy Jizhou, and eventually become Yuan Shao's subordinate, the future is unclear. Mission reward: Title Tortoise with a shrunken head.

"Mission option two: segregate Changshan and break away from the jurisdiction of Jizhou province. As for how the situation in Jizhou develops, it has nothing to do with the host. Mission reward: Commander +10, Intelligence score +10.

Mission option three: Refuse to give up Jizhou, find a way to defeat Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and reclaim the lost land in Jizhou. Mission reward: Spear Art Mastery, and obtain all kinds of famous Spear Arts in history.

"Ding, because the host had issued a crusade against Yuan Shao before the release of the God-Level Choice Selection, and formed a break with Yuan Shao, the host chose the third task by default."

"Ding, lock the host task option three: Refuse to give up Jizhou, find a way to defeat Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and reclaim the lost land in Jizhou."

"This reward for the God-Level Choice Selection Task will be issued once the host has completed the selected task."

"The time limit for this God-Level Choice Selection Task is two years, and the host has sufficient time to complete the task."

A series of beeps in his mind notified Han Yu that the God-Level Choice Selection Task had been released.

This task was selected very timely. In any case, Han Yu himself would do everything possible to defeat Yuan Shao and reclaim the lost territory in Jizhou.

As for the reward for this quest, it was a great reward for gaining mastery of spear skills, and also for obtaining spear arts from the previous dynasty.

Now Han Yu had no less strength than Lü Bu and was proficient in horseback riding.

If he succeeded and obtained this spear mastery, when he met Lü Bu in the future, Han Yu believed that he could defeat Lü Bu completely.

In addition, the spear arts techniques of the past dynasty are also good.

Take Zhao Yun as an example, Zhao Yun has not yet comprehended the Seven Dragons Coiling Spear Art, and his strength has not yet reached its peak.

If Han Yu could obtain the Seven Dragons Coiling Spear and hand it over to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun would have reached his peak much earlier.

In addition, the Luo Cheng family's spear arts, the Yue Fei family's spear arts, and the Yang family general's spear arts were all spear skills that were well-known in history.

If you can use this spear art to form a powerful army, it will also greatly help Han Yu's current strength.

…

Three days after Han Yu's oath was issued.

Jizhou, Wei Commandery, Yecheng County.

In the hall, the Governor of Jizhou Han Fu was in the first place.

At this time, Jizhou Mansion is full of talent, most of Han Fu's staff and Yuan Shao's staff are gathered.

Long Shi, Geng Wu, Min Chun, advisors Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and the others were on both sides.

In the center were Yuan Shao's nephew, Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's advisor Feng Ji and the others.

After the three-county rebellion in Jizhou, Feng Ji took the initiative to come to Jizhou to carry out his plan and try to persuade Han Fu to surrender Jizhou.

Gao Gan and Feng Ji came up with hype, saying that the current situation in Jizhou was in danger.

Han Fu had a cowardly character and was initially afraid of the situation, and when he heard the words of the two, he felt even more terrified.

Xin Ping was originally the person of Jizhou Governor Han Fu, but because of his admiration for Yuan Shao and Feng Ji's fame, he switched to Yuan Shao.

After Gao Gan and Feng Ji finished speaking, Xin Ping attacked while the iron was still hot, trying to sway Han Fu's heart.

Xin Ping said: "Gongsun Zan led his troops with his white horse cavalry coming in large numbers and unmatched sharpness. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei also gathered troops from the plains to help him, and it would be difficult to resist.

In addition, the rebellion of the three counties, the Heishan army is difficult to destroy for a while, and Jizhou may not be able to resist.

Today, Yuan Benchu excels in wisdom and courage and has many well-known generals. The general can ask him to rule the country together. Yuan Benchu will treat people well so that Jizhou can remain safe."

"No!"

As soon as Xin Ping's words fell, Geng Wu's adviser stood up and retorted:

"Yuan Shao is just a loner who only has a poor army. In my opinion, he is just a baby sitting in the palm of a grown man. He would have starved to death without us. Why should Jizhou be entrusted to him? All of this will only put the tiger in the sheep pen."

Geng Wu's words were clearly agreed by Min Chun, who agreed:

"Wenwei (Geng Wu) said very clearly, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to come to Jizhou, otherwise, it would be the same as bringing wolves into the house.

What's more, the three counties are now revolting, Yuan Shao's army is being mobilized, but he doesn't want to quell the rebellion. I think this has something to do with Yuan Shao."

After listening to the two of them, Han Fu felt that there was some truth in it, and his heart swayed.

Xin Ping said with a smile: "Yuan Benchu is an extraordinary man in the world, and you have a long-standing relationship with him.

It was better to give up the Province and make it the property of the Yuan clan. When the Yuan clan is in Jizhou, you will surely feel the virtues of an Emperor and will be treated with respect. Gongsun Zan will not be a problem then."

Han Fu has no opinion, and now the two sides hold their own opinion, and their opinion is divided into two factions.

Seeing Han Fu hesitate, Xin Ping continued: "Governor Han, Ping has three questions to ask."

Han Fu nodded and said, "Zhongzhi (Xin Ping), please it's okay to ask."

Xin Ping asked: "In terms of generosity and benevolence, accommodating all kinds of talents, and making everyone in this world his, how are you better than Yuan Shao?"

After a moment of silence, Han Fu shook his head and replied, "I'm not as good as him."

Xin Ping asked again, "Then if you are not flustered in the face of danger, if you are resolute in difficult times, and possess superior wisdom and courage, will you be comparable to Yuan Shao?"

"I'm not as good as him!"

Han Fu shook his head again.

Xin Ping asked again: "Over these generations, his kindness has spread widely, and every family in the world has benefited from it, are you comparable to Yuan Shao?"

"I'm not as good as him!"

Han Fu still shook his head.

The three words 'I'm not as good as him!'

This put everyone under Han Fu to shame.

Nevertheless, they also knew in their hearts that Han Fu was speaking the truth.

They just didn't expect Han Fu to be able to say it so calmly in public.

Han Fu was indeed a well-known person from Yingchuan.

Although a little wordy, but honest.

Xin Ping got the answer that he wanted and continued:

"Yuan Benchu is a world hero, as people say, you are inferior to Yuan Benchu in these three aspects, but your rank is above Yuan Benchu, so Yuan Benchu definitely won't be below your rank for much longer.

The people of Jizhou are rich and prosperous. If Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan join forces to take Jizhou, you will soon fall into danger.

Yuan Shao is an old friend of yours, and he has formed an alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo. If you hand Jizhou over to Yuan Benchu, Yuan Shao will definitely thank you for your kindness, and Gongsun Zan won't be able to fight him.

In this way, you will have a reputation as a virtuous person, and be more stable than Mount Tai, therefore you need not worry. "

When Min Chun heard these words, he cursed:

"Xin Ping, you ate Governor Han's salary, but you speak on behalf of Yuan Shao, what is your motive? Could it be that Yuan Shao has bribed you and conspired with us in Jizhou?

Who is Yuan Benchu, I can't wait to meet him!

How could that incompetent Yuan Shao possibly become the alliance leader if he didn't rely on his family background?

By now the wolf's ambition to plan our Jizhou was very clear.

If the Governor handed Jizhou over to Yuan Shao, I was afraid that the Governor would be killed by Yuan Shao soon.

Moreover, your eldest son Han Yu and general Pan Feng were all dispatched to meet the enemy and quell the rebellion. If you let outsiders get Jizhou, wouldn't it betray everyone's heart?

Since this is the case, you must not hand Jizhou over!"

"..."

Xin Ping glared at Min Chun intently, wanting to kill Min Chun on the spot.

In Xin Ping's eyes, as long as he persuaded Han Fu to give up Jizhou, his status under Yuan Shao would naturally increase in the future.

At this time, Min Chun and others were in the way, and Xin Ping was very displeased.

Hearing this, Han Fu took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Zhongzhi's words are reasonable, and Bodian (Min Chun) doesn't have to persuade me anymore. I am a former official of the Yuan clan, and I am not as talented as Benchu, so let a wiser person have this position...."

Before he could finish his words, the soldiers outside rushed in to report:

"Lord, the Changshan Prefect, General Yangwu, Han Yu, issued an oath to Yuan Shao three days ago, and has now been circulated to all Commanderies and Counties, please take a look at this."

"What? About Yuan Shao? What does this mean!"

Han Fu was stunned on the spot.

The others were also dumbfounded.
