Chapter 673: Troublesome Gongsun Zhan
Lu Bu's return to the north can be regarded as a good start, and the trial who was originally stationed in Youbeiping looked at the relevant information about Lu Bu's return to the north, and silently made an amazing move.
Gongsun Zan was beaten out of the south of Youzhou by Ju Yi, and was blocked by the trial, and it was difficult to enter the right Beiping to attack south, so he had to occupy the subject state of Liaodong, stationed in Changli to mobilize troops and horses, and waited for the opportunity to counterattack Youzhou.
Due to the defensive ability of the judge, Gongsun Chan basically has no good way, but fortunately, the trial match did not specifically attack Gongsun Chan, although Changli was bitter, Gongsun Chan gradually stabilized the situation by plundering the Hu people.
In other words, Youzhou and Merge are actually the same situation, how big the territory is purely to look at the map drawing forces, the fist is big, Youzhou is big, and now Gongsun Zan is forced to retreat to the northeast.
As for the border issue, Gongsun Zhan's style has always been where I hit, and the boundary line of the map is drawn there, and I don't accept you to call back.
Of course, today's Gongsun Chan is no longer as domineering as before, but he has never changed in his treatment of foreign races, and the hardliners in the iron-blooded faction have never discounted on foreign issues.
If you can't beat Yuan Shao, it's an accident, but if you can't beat the foreign Gongsun Zhan, he feels that he can commit suicide, ∧ without the white horse, at most he can't chase and cut it down. As long as there are soldiers, for the Hu people, he is still the invincible white horse general Gongsun Zhan.
Although he was able to beat the Hu people, due to the population problem of Youzhou itself, it was still strictly restricting the recovery of Gongsun Zhan's strength, and he could now almost be regarded as a poor soldier who had gathered more than 30,000 cavalry, as for Tian Yu, who was stationed at the border. Gongsun Chan never counted it under his command, and that belonged to his last dignity and mission. It must not be shaken.
Due to being blocked by the trial, Gongsun Zhan, who is located in Changli, basically does not know much about the shape of the Central Plains in the past two years. Even the matter of Lu Bu's annexation to the state, which had caused a lot of uproar before, Gongsun Zan did not receive any news here at all.
From this aspect, in fact, Chen Lin and others supported Gongsun Zhan, and it had nothing to do with Gongsun Zhan's money, and the parties did not know that such a thing had happened after the dust settled.
It can be seen that Gongsun Zhan's news is closed at this time, and it can also be seen that if there is no professional intelligence organization in this era, the transmission of relevant information is slow.
In a word, things have come to this point, as another party in the heated discussion, he didn't know it at all, and now Gongsun Zhan, who lives in Changli, is still thinking about how to counterattack Youzhou.
It is said that Gongsun Chan was able to use all kinds of military force, and there was no food problem. is also because of Chen Xi's strong support.
Although there has been less contact between Taishan and Gongsun Chan in the past two years, the sea transportation line has not been broken, and Liu Bei's assistance to Gongsun in food has never stopped.
Of course, Yuan Shao is not a fool, and naturally he also sent troops to intercept transport ships at sea, but unfortunately most of the warriors in Jizhou are fierce generals on land, and the army is all landlubbers, not to mention naval battles, water battles.
In addition, Yuan Shao did not have a sailor at all, and the sea ships were just arbitrary. After going back and forth, he didn't rob Liu Bei's transport ship, but lost a lot of manpower, and after suffering a few losses, Yuan Shao let it go.
Anyway, judging from the exact information from Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei only gave material support to Gongsun Zhan, and did not give personnel support. For the current Yuan Shao, the support of materials will not shake his rule in Youzhou at all, as long as Gongsun Zhan's strength is concerned, as long as he is willing to rub it at any time.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to dispose of Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Shao now wants to send troops to crush Gongsun Zhan.
After the historical Gongsun Zan was defeated at the boundary bridge, he directly killed Liu Yu in order to prevent future troubles. Then the people of Youzhou, who supported Liu Yu, followed the generals under Liu Yu to resist, and Gongsun Zhan, who was short of food at that time, did not stop and directly began to rob the army of food. completely cut off his popularity in Youzhou.
Although Liu Yu was also attacked in this life, but the person was still alive, Gongsun Zhan did not kill Liu Yu's wife and concubine after his anger disappeared, and turned around and sent it to Mount Tai, and then Mount Tai was sent to Chang'an to reunite with Liu Yu, and at that time Li Dao had entered a period of relaxation, and Liu Yu did not suffer much.
In other words, in this life, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu disagreed politically and fought, but they did not make such a crazy thing as killing the imperial family.
Besides, the Han Dynasty fell out with many state officials and border generals because of the fight against foreigners, this is not a big deal, everyone is used to it, at most they feel that the central government's personnel arrangements have begun to mess up again, no wonder the world has been in a recession in the past two years.
As for the soldiers grabbing food, with Liu Bei's strong support, Gongsun Chan has not yet fallen to this Cheng dù, so for the people of Youzhou, it is actually a thorn history, and there is no damage to life, so Gongsun Chan still maintains his prestige in Youzhou.
This is also why Yuan Shao's strength is much stronger than Gongsun Zhan, and he still has to think about how to deal with Gongsun Zhan, it is definitely not advisable to kill, but if he does not kill, it is troublesome to use Gongsun Zhan's prestige in Youzhou, I don't see that there are still many people in Youzhou who are thinking about Gongsun Zhan's goodness.
If he continues to attack Gongsun Zhan, with Yuan Shao's understanding of Gongsun Zhan's character, once there is no chance of victory, Gongsun Zhan's bastard will definitely commit suicide fiercely, and he will not be given a chance to be captured at all, in this case, Gongsun Chan is dead, and Yuan Shao will be determined by this pot.
Therefore, Yuan Shao doesn't fight Gongsun Chan much now, he is thinking about how to capture Gongsun Chan alive, or how to kill Gongsun Chan without turning the people's grievances, of course, if it is a last resort, Yuan Shao will kill Gongsun Chan even if the people's grievances are boiling.
However, the current shape has not yet reached the point where Yuan Shao is determined to kill Gongsun Zan directly, although Yuan Shao is ready to play with his life.
The trial of these things can basically be said to be clear, and he also thought about getting rid of Gongsun Zhan, for example, borrowing Liu Yu's subordinate generals to avenge Liu Yu, fooling the Hu people to attack Gongsun Zhan, in short, he thought of a lot of methods, but in terms of feasibility, there was basically none.
Liu Yu's generals really wanted to avenge Liu Yu, but Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were not mortal enemies, after Liu Yu was rectified to Chang'an, he was completely out of his position and did not seek his own government, and in order to avoid his subordinate generals being fooled by the Hu people, he issued a declaration under Liu Yan's persuasion.
The general meaning is that I am still alive and well, you don't need to avenge me, the Han people stay in the place of the Han people, Gongsun Chan will protect you, Hu people, you don't want to go to Gongsun Chan for trouble, I thank you for your kindness, but you can't beat Gongsun Chan, run away, without me in Youzhou, Gongsun Chan may kill at any time.
