Chapter 286: Shaking Lips and Tongue

Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang made the original body die, and who knows the truth of his life?---------- Tang. Bai Juyi "Five Songs"

It is said that Liu Bei is also a hero, ambitious, only Cao Cao can see it thoroughly, so there is a green plum cooking wine about heroes. Those who sell fame and reputation are often hidden very deeply, and Guan Zhang can't detect it, no wonder he is always dead set on Liu Bei.

Chen Long, who came from later generations, naturally saw Liu Bei clearly, and took great pains to save Guan Zhang Er from his death. Zhou Budo offered a plan, and if he wanted to reveal Liu Bei's ambitions, he could only connect Liu Bei with the careerist Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu held the jade seal in his hand, and he had long been the emperor and self-reliant, and his reputation among the heroes could be described as inaudible. Chen Long asked Zhou Budo, "You mean you can create rumors?"

Zhou Budo nodded and said: "Everyone has a lot of money, and they accumulate and destroy the bones." Shake your lips and puff your tongue, and be good at right and wrong. The power of rumors has been evident since ancient times. During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, he was always plagued by rumors such as "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin", and the empire he created was buried at the hands of his son, and the fuse was also a rumor: "Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng." ”

"Therefore, as long as we can spread the news of Liu Bei's secret communication with Yuan Shu through the mouths of some people, and at the same time create some vague evidence, the rumors will spread, and finally Liu Bei will be speechless, which will expose his true thoughts, and also allow Guan Zhang Er to see Liu Bei's true ambitions."

Chen Long's eyes froze, and he high-fived and said, "Yuan Zhi is a good idea." However, to modify the content of the rumors slightly, now, Yuan Shu kept the jade seal privately, everyone does not think that Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor himself, many people think that Yuan Shu will look for Liu Xuan, Liu Yan and other Han clan relatives as puppets. We planted a false accusation that Liu Bei secretly colluded with Yuan Shu and was replaced by Yuan Shu for Emperor Xian of Han. ”

Zhou Budo slapped his thigh and said, "Wonderful! Lord, if Guan Zhang believes that Liu Bei wants to be the emperor, he will definitely fall out with him! ”

Chen Long instructed Zhou Budo: "You secretly went to find the secret agent of the master mother in Youzhou. Let them arrange to spread rumors in Jixian, Yuyang, Cangzhou, Yecheng, Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, saying that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei secretly colluded and wanted to replace Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. And Liu Bei secretly befriended Ji Ling, the general of Yuan Shu, in Runan, and wanted to set up his own door. ”

Zhou Budo frowned and smiled: "Okay! Leave this matter to me, don't worry! ”

After Zhou Budo went, Chen Long was not idle, and continued to think about informing Tian Yu and Gongsun Zan to fight against Yuan Shao. Liu Bei is a variable here, but he is not the main force to save Qingzhou, he still has to say that he will move Tian Yu, let him talk about moving Gongsun Zhan, so that he can do his best to raise a large army, pass through the gate of Cangzhou, and really threaten Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, and force Yuan Shao to transfer Yan Liang's 100,000 troops from Qingzhou back to rescue.

Although Tian Yu is courteous to Liu Bei, the owner of Yuyang must still be Tian Yu. Early the next morning, Chen Long was carrying Tian Feng's letters and tokens in his arms, and was just about to go out to find Tian Yu, but he didn't expect the inn door to open, and the innkeeper quickly went out to greet him, it turned out that Tian Yu received the news of the arrival of Tian Feng's friend reported by the city gate guard last night, and personally went to the inn to see the dragon ball this morning.

Chen Long saw that Tian Yu was in his thirties, with a calm bearing, a straight figure, a heroic spirit in his literary tone, and the style of a general, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly introduced Tian Yu into the living room of the guest room, and first took out Tian Feng's letter and said: "Yuan Hao said to me, Tian Yu is one of the generals he admires the most. I am Jiaozhou Qiongya Dragon Ball, I am fortunate to be lucky! ”

Tian Yu hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Since you are Yuan Hao's friend and your own family, you don't have to be polite." When he opened the letter, it was written at the beginning that Long Zhu was Xu Shao and Xu Jing's apprentices, and he should be treated well, Tian Yu was already surprised in his heart, and then looked down, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, Tian Feng actually asked Gongsun Zhan to send troops to Hebei, and he would give up the Cangzhou passage. Seeing the end, Tian Yu couldn't sit still, raised his butt and stood up, and arched his hand: "This matter is very important, I didn't expect Yuan Hao and Lu Yi to have this intention, I must immediately go to Jixian County to inform the lord to decide how to respond to Yuan Hao and attack Jizhou." Leave! "Hurry up, turn around and leave.

Chen Long hurriedly stood up and said, "I don't dare to delay General Tian, but I only have one thing to ask for." ”

Long Chen gave such important information, and now he has something to ask for, Tian Yu is not good and immediately refuses, so he stopped and nodded: "Mr. Long, please speak!" ”

Chen Long said: "What I asked for is not a big deal, I heard that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all under the general, can you please write me a letter, I want to visit these three people and see if you can introduce me to it." ”

Tian Yu felt strange in his heart, but he still found pen and ink and silk cloth, and asked while writing a letter of introduction: "Liu Guanzhang is indeed here with me, but since you don't know them, how do you know them?"

You must know that Liu Guanzhang was not a high lord at that time, and there were not many high-ranking officials who knew them. Long Chen laughed and said, "Have you forgotten what my Jing Shi do?" That is an outstanding person who presides over the Yuedan commentary, and he has naturally studied the emperor's uncle Liu Bei. ”

When Tian Yu heard the words Uncle Huang, his eyelids couldn't help but tremble, so that Chen Long, who had sharp and sensitive eyes, caught it squarely. Chen Long thought to himself, could it be that Tian Yu had realized Liu Bei's ambition? Consider using words to test it.

Chen Long continued: "When Uncle Liu Huang used to take refuge in Yuan Shu, my Jingshi said that Uncle Huang has great ambitions and is very human, and he will have his own territory one day. Guan Zhang, the fierce generals in the world, if he can be good at assisting, and then have one or two top military divisions, he will definitely be able to achieve great things. ”

When Tian Yu heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Hmph, a great achievement? What can he accomplish?"

Chen Long pretended to be stunned and said: "Naturally, it is the great cause of raising his arms and shouting, the clouds are from the scene, the rod is lifted, and the Han family is supported!" ”

Tian Yu frowned and said, "Mr. Xu really said that? In my opinion, Xuande is indeed a hero in the world, and he is also benevolent to the people, but no one has ever funded him. However, if he has a large army in his hands, I am afraid that his opponent will be heroes like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. My father-in-law, Sun Zhan, has taken him in for a long time, but I heard that he wants to leave recently. ”

Chen Long thought to himself that this was the reason why Tian Yu finally left Liu Bei, because Liu Bei took refuge in many people, but they all went back on their word and finally ran away, which made Tian Yu see his ambition as a son of heaven.

Tian Yu waved the letter of introduction, said no more, arched his hand, and said goodbye again: "My lord Sun Zhan, Liaoxi and Liaodong have not met opponents. If it is really as Mr. said, the door of Cangzhou is wide open, and Yuan Shao will be taught to be in a hurry. Sir wait for me good news! Then he turned and left.

Gongsun Zhan, whose name is Bogui, has a handsome appearance and a loud voice, and is known as the White Horse General. In the official history, Gongsun Chan is a noble child, but because of his mother's humble background, he can only serve as a scholar. Because of his good appearance and proficient in martial arts, he was appreciated by Taishou and was recruited as his son-in-law. With the help of his father-in-law, he worked with Liu Bei and Liu Deran to study with Lu Zhi.

After leaving the school, Gongsun Chan served as the imperial car under Liu Qi. When Liu Qi was sent to Rinan, Gongsun Zhan illegally disguised himself as a soldier to escort him along the way, and Liu Qi was pardoned and returned on the way. After Gongsun Zhan returned, he was promoted to filial piety and honesty because of his virtue, and he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong. Once, Gongsun Chan followed dozens of cavalry out to patrol the Guansai, and when he saw hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, Gongsun Chan retreated to the empty pavilion and said to the entourage: "If you don't take the initiative to attack, you will be killed." So he led the team to rush into the Xianbei team with a spear in hand, killing and wounding dozens of people, although he survived death, he also lost more than half. Xianbei people take this as a warning, and they no longer dare to easily cross the barrier. Gongsun Zhan was promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuo County.

During the Guanghe period, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, and the imperial court requisitioned 3,000 elite cavalry from Youzhou, and gave Gongsun Zan the title of governor to act and command the 3,000 cavalry. When Gongsun Zhan led his army to Jizhong, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, lured Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, to rebel and capture Youbeiping County. Gongsun Zhan pursued Zhang Chun and other traitors with 3,000 cavalry, made military exploits, and was promoted to cavalry captain. At this time, the leader of the subject country Wuhuan was so greedy that the king led the people to surrender to Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan was promoted to Zhonglang General, named Duting Marquis, stationed in the subject country, and in the next five or six years, he fought constantly with the northern nomads.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Gongsun Zhan and Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others fought in Shimen, a subordinate state of Liaodong, and Zhang Chun and others were defeated, so they left their wives and children and fled into Xianbei. Gongsun Zhan continued to pursue, but because it was too deep, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in Liaoxi for more than 200 days, and the soldiers were defeated when the grain was exhausted, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded. Qiu Liju's army was also exhausted and left Liucheng. The imperial court paid homage to Gongsun Zan as the captain of the captive school, the marquis of the capital pavilion, and the governor of the country. Gongsun Chan then commanded the soldiers and horses to guard the border. Every time he heard that the enemy was coming, Gongsun Chan immediately spoke violently, and when he fought, he seemed to be beating his own enemy, even until late at night. From then on, Wuhuan was afraid of Gongsun Zhan's bravery and did not dare to attack again. Gongsun Chan often rides white horses with dozens of people around him who are good at riding and shooting, and they are the left and right wings of each other, and they call themselves "White Horse Righteous Servants".

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qiu Liju was slightly green, Xu, You, and Ji, and the four states were victimized by it, and Gongsun Chan could not resist it. The imperial court sent Zongzheng Liu Yu to serve as the pastor of Youzhou. After Liu Yu arrived, he sent envoys to the nomads to learn about the benefits and ordered them to sacrifice Zhang Chun's head. When Qiu Liju and others heard that Liu Yu had arrived, they sent envoys to communicate about the annexation. Gongsun Zhan was worried about Liu Yu's meritorious service, so he secretly sent people to assassinate these envoys on the way. When the nomads understood this, they made a detour to Liu Yu. Liu Yu reported to the imperial court to withdraw the garrison army, leaving only Gongsun Zhan with more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry stationed in Youbeiping.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Chun was killed by his disciple Wang Zheng and gave his head to Liu Yu. Liu Yu was awarded the post of Taiwei for his meritorious service in pacifying the nomads, and was named the Marquis of Xiangben. Soon, Liu Yu was moved to the Great Sima, and Gongsun Zhan was the general of Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Ji.

In the second year of the first peace, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked the Bohai Sea, gathered 300,000 people, and wanted to join the Montenegrin army, Gongsun Zan led 20,000 foot cavalry to break the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in Dongguang South, beheading more than 30,000. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army abandoned its baggage and ran across the river. Gongsun Chan waited for them to attack halfway through and defeated the Yellow Turban Army again, with tens of thousands of dead, more than 70,000 prisoners, and countless chariots and property, so Gongsun Chan's prestige was greatly shaken.

In the third year of the first peace, Yuan Shaotun army Guangchuan County, and Gongsun Zhan fought twenty miles south of the boundary bridge. Gongsun Chan has 30,000 elite soldiers. Yuan Shao ordered his general Koji Yi to lead 800 elite soldiers in front, and cloth a thousand crossbows on both wings. Gongsun Zhan despised Yuan Shao's lack of soldiers and went out to fight. Koji Yi ordered the soldiers to lie down and not move, waiting for Gongsun Zhan's army to reach ten steps ago, and at the same time, Gongsun Chan was defeated. Yuan Shaojun captured Yan Gang and beheaded him. Koji Yi chased Gongsun Chan to the boundary bridge, and Gongsun Chan led his troops to fight back and was defeated again. So Gongsun Zhan fled to Jixian County, built another small town in the southeast of the county to defend himself, and was close to Liu Yu, and gradually formed a hatred. Yuan Shao sent his general Cui Juye to lead his troops to attack Gongsun Zhan's hometown, but when he led the army back to the south, he was caught up by Gongsun Zhan's army in Juma Shui, and was defeated, and seven or eight thousand people were killed. Gongsun Zhan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was defeated by Yuan Shao in Longcuo, and the two sides were evenly matched.

In the fourth year of the first peace, Liu Yu thought that Gongsun Chan had ransomed his troops and fought with Yuan Shao for many years to seriously persecute the people, so he wanted to control Gongsun Zhan's behavior. However, Gongsun Chan was furious when he heard this, and then intensified his plundering of the people, which deepened the contradiction with Liu Yu.

In the end, in order to stop Gongsun Zhan's evil deeds, Liu Yu decided to lead 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. At that time, Gongsun Zhan's troops were scattered and wanted to flee from Dongcheng in a hurry, but Liu Yu's soldiers did not practice war, and issued military orders not to harass the people and not to damage the people's houses, resulting in a long time unable to attack. Gongsun Zhan then recruited hundreds of elite soldiers, set fire to the wind, and took advantage of the situation to enter Liu Yu's barracks, and Liu Yu was defeated. Liu Yu and his men fled north to Juyong. Gongsun Zan broke through Juyong City in three days, captured Liu Yu and his wife and children alive and returned to Jixian County. At this time, Dong Zhuo was dead, and Emperor Xian sent an envoy Duan Xun to Liu Yu to increase the fiefdom, so that he would supervise the six states, promote Gongsun Zan to the former general, and seal the Marquis. Gongsun Zhan framed Liu Yu and Yuan Shao for seeking to claim the title of emperor, and coerced Duan Xun to behead Liu Yu and his wife and children in Jishi. Gongsun Zhan sent Liu Yu's head to Jingshi, where he was robbed and buried on the road by Liu Yu's old subordinate Tail Dun. After Gongsun Zhan killed Liu Yu, he got the entire Youzhou, and he became more and more arrogant, dispassionate to the people, and remembered his mistakes.

In the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Gongsun Zhan, wanting to make peace with him, but Gongsun Zhan did not reply, but strengthened the garrison. Yuan Shao was furious and raised troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. First of all, Gongsun Chan was besieged, but Gongsun Chan refused to save him, saying: "Save one person, then everyone will only wait for the rescue and refuse to fight." If I don't save them now, the besieged soldiers will encourage themselves. "When Yuan Shao came to attack, Gongsun Zhan's Jieqiao battalion could not save itself, and Gongsun Zhan refused to save him, and everyone surrendered or fled. Yuan Shao directly attacked in front of the city gate, Gongsun Zhan sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, and wanted to personally lead the troops to break out of the siege, occupy the southwest mountain, rely on the Black Mountain Army, and cut off the back road of Yuan Shao's army. Guan Jing, the chief officer, advised him: "Now your soldiers are all rebellious, and they are no longer able to fight, the reason why they can stick to it is to take care of their hometown, young and old, and regard the general as the backbone, if the general can hold on for a long time, Yuan Shao will naturally retreat, and the Quartet army will definitely be able to meet again." If the general abandons Yi Jing now, the army will lose its rear town, and Yi Jing's fall is just around the corner. How can a general achieve a career when he loses his roots and lives in the wilderness? Gongsun Zhan then decided not to leave Yijing, and waited for his son to move in to rescue the troops, and attacked Yuan Shao inside and outside.

In March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Yan and Gongsun Xu of Montenegro led 100,000 troops to rescue Gongsun Zan in three ways. Before the reinforcements arrived, Gongsun Chan secretly sent a letter to Gongsun Xu, asking him to lead 5,000 cavalry in the north and raise torches in response, and Gongsun Chan went out from the city to fight. Yuan Shao robbed the letter, calculated the plan, and raised the torch. Gongsun Chan thought that the rescue had arrived, and led his troops to attack. Yuan Shao set up an ambush to attack Gongsun Zhan, who was defeated and returned to the city to hold on. Yuan Shao then dug a tunnel to the bottom of the city tower, destroyed its watchtower, and gradually reached the central mound. Gongsun Chan expected that he would undoubtedly lose and set himself on fire*. And the head of Gongsun Zan was sent by Yuan Shao to Xu Capital, where Cao Cao was.
