After Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan entered the camp tent, they began to discuss business.

Liu Yu said that he came this time to repair the mausoleum for Liu Yu, but he encountered the obstruction of traitors led by Yuan Shao.

The people present were all smart people who knew that what Liu Yu said was an excuse, and Gongsun Zhan didn't break it, they still needed Liu Yu's help in the next few days.

After saying a lot of nonsense in righteousness, Liu Yu mentioned the issue that Gongsun Chan was most concerned about. Liu Yu was angry that Youzhou was occupied by Yuan Shao, this Youzhou is the county of Dahanzhou, without the order of the Son of Heaven and the approval of the imperial court, how could Yuan Shao be strong and weak and occupy other people's territories. Liu Yu is resolutely opposed to such a kingless and fatherless behavior. Therefore, in line with the great truth that Youzhou is Youzhou of Youzhou people, Liu Yu decided to recommend Gongsun Zan to the Son of Heaven as the pastor of Youzhou and lead all the military and political affairs in Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, Liu Yu returned the entire Youzhou to him.

Liu Yu also mentioned that because of the protracted war between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, most of Youzhou was occupied by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Chan was now unable to watch his own strength recapture Youzhou. As a good prince of the Han Dynasty and a good friend of Gongsun Zhan, how can Liu Yu sit idly by. Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, decided to help Gongsun Zan recapture Youzhou, and at the same time return the Youzhou soldiers who had surrendered before to their original owners. None of this is free, though. After recapturing Youzhou, Sun Zhan, the shepherd of Youzhou, must obey the orders of the imperial court, to put it bluntly, obey Liu Yu's orders. At the same time, every year, thousands of war horses, 5,000 cattle and sheep are paid to the imperial court, a number of gold and silver, rare treasures, beautiful women and beasts, etc., Gongsun Chan has the heart to send them, and the imperial court will not accept them. In view of the fact that Youzhou has suffered from war and chaos, Liu Yu, who is a good prince of the Han Dynasty, decided to mobilize the merchants in the territory to come to Youzhou to do business, drive the economic development of Youzhou, restore the livelihood of Youzhou, and make the people of Youzhou live and work in peace and contentment, provided that Youzhou cannot collect taxes or tolls from these merchants and other things that affect the enthusiasm of businessmen. Moreover, the legitimate business activities of businessmen in Youzhou cannot be hindered on various grounds.

At the same time, in order to ensure that Gongsun Chan fulfills the agreement, Liu Yu also demanded that at the relevant important points between Youzhou and Bingzhou, Gongsun Chan is not allowed to deploy soldiers and horses, and mutual trust must be achieved.

Such a big gift bag smashed on Gongsun Zhan's head and knocked him unconscious. He had thought before that Liu Yu should use himself as a gun, at most, he would return the soldiers and horses in Youzhou before, and give him some grain and grass, so that he could attack Yuan Shao. I didn't expect Liu Yu to be so generous, he gave him all of Youzhou at one time, and helped him call him back. Where can you find such a good thing? As for the requirements that Liu Yu asked for later, it was not a matter at all. As long as someone has the right to land, they can gain a foothold in this troubled world.

Liu Yu also said that in the future, if Gongsun Chan captured Yuan Shao's territory, then the imperial court would recognize Gongsun Zhan's legitimate rights to the newly occupied territory.

With such a guarantee, Gongsun Chan agreed very happily.

In order to show his attention to this matter, Liu Yu listed all the negotiated terms one by one and wrote them on parchment. With the core figures of both sides present, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan wrote their names on this parchment, and announced it to the world with a seal.

Later historians have called this agreement an unequal treaty, and Gongsun Chan did not have any benefits except for retaking Youzhou, and he also used Liu Yu as a gunman for nothing. And the merchants led by Huang Chong went to Youzhou frantically, constantly squeezing the interests of Youzhou until Gongsun Zan perished and Youzhou returned to Liu Yu's hands.

The princes of the world couldn't understand why Liu Yu was trying so hard to help Gongsun Zhan, and in the end it could only be attributed to Yuan Shao's threat to Liu Yu.

After doing this, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan also had a full meal, and the two talked happily.

Zhao Yun, who has been watching by Liu Yu's side, found that compared with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu has a carefulness and charm that others do not have, and it can be seen from Liu Yu's arrangement of food for Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses that Liu Yu loves ordinary soldiers very much.

Zhao Yun's good impression of Liu Yu in his heart has increased a lot. If Liu Yu knew that Zhao Yun saw him like this, he would definitely let Zhao Yun see how sympathetic he was to his subordinates.

After you've had enough to eat, it's time to get out and exercise.

Liu Yu took everyone to the city guarded by Yuan Xi, ready to start the siege.

At this moment, Yuan Xi, who was dressed in armor, was standing on the city wall with all the generals. Looking at the dense army under the city, Yuan Xi really wanted to cry. When Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan were discussing the agreement, the envoy sent by Yuan Xi to ask Yuan Shao for help also returned to Yuan Xi, but it did not bring any good news to Yuan Xi, but a very bad news.

Yuan Shao's army had returned to Jizhou and had begun to engage Huang Zhong. Due to the threat of Huang Zhong and Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao was unable to mobilize troops and horses to help for a while, and ordered Yuan Xi to hold on to Youzhou. Yuan Shao didn't do nothing, he had already ordered Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, to send troops to help, and the two brothers worked together to resist Liu Yu. As long as Yuan Shao frees his hand, he can send troops to solve the dilemma of Youzhou.

Yuan Xi really doesn't want Yuan Shao to be optimistic about himself now.

And although Yuan Tanna also sent troops according to Yuan Shao's instructions, the marching speed was ridiculously slow, and he didn't know that the Year of the Monkey would arrive.

Hearing such news, Yuan Xi really wanted to cry. Yuan Shao was right to order himself to stick to Youzhou, and it was also true to order Yuan Tan to help him. But the key is whether Yuan Xi can withstand Liu Yu's attack, and whether Yuan Tan can rescue on time is a very serious issue.

Yuan Xi is very clear about his eldest brother, he wishes that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang would be finished as soon as possible, and he could rightfully inherit Yuan Shao's rights, and if he wanted Yuan Tan to come to the rescue quickly, don't think about it.

Now that Liu Yu's army is about to attack, Yuan Xi now sincerely regrets why he didn't retreat in the first place.

If I had been resolute at that time, I wouldn't have fallen to the point where I am now.

Yuan Xi was very panicked in his heart, but the expression on his face was calm and calm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, reinforcements from my father and eldest brother will arrive soon. As long as we hold on for a day or two, we will definitely be able to fight back against Liu Yu, and then my son will ask for credit for you. Yuan Xi once again boosted morale.

The generals in Youzhou all nodded yes. They had little hope for this war. Some smart people have already arranged a way out. If there is no way out, he can only follow Yuan Xi all the way to the dark, and I believe that the reinforcements that Yuan Xi said are true.

And Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan and others under the city began their own actions.
