Zhao Yun hurried back to Gongsun Zhan's place.

Gongsun Chan was already impatient to wait, he knew that time was very precious now, if Liu Yu could agree to his request, Gongsun Chan would definitely be able to launch a counterattack against Yuan Shao and flank Yuan Shao with Liu Yu.

For this matter, Gongsun Chan has not closed his eyes, and he is a little too tired.

Zhao Yun's return made Gongsun Chan a lot of spirits.

"The last general, Zhao Yun, pays a visit to the lord."

Gongsun Chan hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yun's hand and asked, "Zilong is lucky." There is news from King Zhao's side. ”

Zhao Yun said happily: "King Zhao has agreed to the lord's request, and said that he wants to attack Youzhou with the lord. Here are the letters of King Zhao. ”

Gongsun Chan couldn't wait to take it, and after reading Liu Yu's letter, he sighed: "King Zhao is really benevolent and righteous." ”

For Liu Yu's generosity, Gongsun Chan is grateful. I thought that Liu Yu would lend him a few thousand soldiers and horses at most, but what I didn't expect was that Liu Yu gave him all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou who surrendered, which was really too generous.

Gongsun Chan waved his hand to let Zhao Yun go down, he had to think about Liu Yu's proposal.

Gongsun Chan has been able to dominate Youzhou for many years, and of course it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He sensed a hint of Liu Yu's intentions from Liu Yu's letters. Liu Yu used Gongsun Chan as a gun against Yuan Shao, which Gongsun Chan knew very well. But Gongsun Chan couldn't refuse, if Liu Yu didn't care about him, he would have been destroyed by Yuan Shao at this time. Gongsun Zan only had such a little territory left in Liaodong, and after many years of war with Yuan Shao, he had exhausted most of his troops, and he was forced to borrow troops from Liu Yu as a last resort. borrowed troops from Liu Yu, not because Gongsun Chan said that he wanted to retaliate against Yuan Shao, but because he wanted to regain his previous territory. So knowing that it was a fire pit, Gongsun Chan still jumped down without hesitation.

Without hesitating for long, Gongsun Chan decided to go to Liu Yu's side and join forces.

Yuan Xi from Youzhou was looking at the map in a daze. He sent a large number of scouts to inquire about Liu Yu's news, and already knew that Liu Yu's army had set up camp fifty miles away from him. But what Yuan Xi couldn't figure out was that Liu Yu actually stopped moving forward when he had an absolute advantage in troops. Yuan Xi's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy. Yuan Xi's head began to run at full strength, and he thought of various possibilities, but he just couldn't be sure. So after being in a daze for a while, Yuan Xi directly sent a letter of help to Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could come to the rescue as soon as possible.

Yuan Xi can only put his hope on Yuan Shao's reinforcements now. He also thought about retreating, but the last time Yuan Tan fled without a fight in Qingzhou, most of Qingzhou broke away from Yuan Shao's rule, because of this Yuan Tan was scolded by Yuan Shao, lost the trust of Yuan Shao's subordinates to him, and also lost his qualification as Yuan Shao's heir. The eldest son has no chance, and Yuan Xi, as the second son, has the possibility of ascending to the throne. Although it is well known that Yuan Shao loves his young son, Yuan Xi still wants to give it a go. Far from being a last resort, Yuan Xi would not retreat.

Yuan Xi's attitude of resistance was resolute, but the civil and military forces in Youzhou did not think so. Now Liu Yu's army will be killed in an instant, in case Yuan Xi is defeated, what will follow is liquidation. Some of these people are Jizhou officials brought by Yuan Shao, as well as local officials from Youzhou, and even Liu Yu's previous diehards. They didn't want to be unlucky with Yuan Xi, so they took their own actions to protect themselves.

Yuan Xi didn't know these things.

Gongsun Chan sent an envoy to Liu Yu again and agreed to Liu Yu's invitation. This time, the messenger was not Zhao Yun, which made Liu Yu a little disappointed. Immediately, Liu Yu made an appointment with the envoy to meet before Yuan Xi's office three days later.

Yuan Xi, who didn't know the situation, was building his own defensive position, and he also burned the trees around the office, gathered all the people and grain and grass, and looked like he was swearing to resist.

Although Liu Yu has never seen Yuan Xi, he still has a little understanding of Yuan Xi's ability, no matter how strong Yuan Xi is, he can't be stronger than Yuan Tan, such an opponent is too easy to deal with. If it weren't for Gongsun Chan to let him know the attack power of his army and deter Gongsun Chan, Liu Yu would have broken Yuan Xi a long time ago.

Three days later, Liu Yu's 100,000 army and part of the Youzhou army came to the Youzhou Governance Office guarded by Yuan Xi.

Looking at the city opposite, Liu Yu praised Yuan Shaosheng's sons for being kind, Yuan Tan was tough, and Yuan Xi was not bad. It is estimated that Yuan Shang is also a tough guy.

Yuan Xi on the city wall looked at the murderous Liu Yu army, and for the first time regretted that he did not choose to retreat, the army in front of him was not comparable to his troops at all.

Liu Yu ordered the whole army to camp outside the city, and as for whether Yuan Xi would take the opportunity to sneak attack, Liu Yu gave him a hundred courages, and he would not attack rashly.

Yuan Xi also thought about taking advantage of the opportunity, but was organized by the civil and military forces in Youzhou.

After Liu Yu arrived, Gongsun Chan also came here and joined Liu Yu.

Compared with Liu Yu's army's high-spirited and brightly armored mental outlook, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses are a bit down-and-out. Except for the elite troops Bai Ma Yicong who also had a high desire to fight, the others seemed to be lacking in spirit.

Liu Yu led his subordinates to greet Gongsun Zhan.

"Brother Bogui, long time no see." Liu Yu said with a grin.

"Lord Wang, it's been a long time. After a long time, the prince is still in style. Gongsun Chan also smiled.

When Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan were in Luoyang, they met once. I haven't seen him for many years, and Gongsun Chan is no longer the hero who contributed to the country back then.

"Brother Bogui is tired from afar, please go to the big tent and rest first." Liu Yu could see that Gongsun Zhan was a little tired.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey! Thank you so much! Gongsun Chan readily agreed.

Gongsun Zhan ordered all the soldiers to rest in place, and he took a few generals and cronies to follow Liu Yu into the camp.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses were resting in their respective places.

Liu Yu intimately arranged food for Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, and the soldiers felt that King Zhao was better than their lord I don't know how many times. Gongsun Chan secretly scolded himself for being too careless, and was so easily bought by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu found that Zhao Yun was mixed in with the White Horse Yicong, and it seemed that his status was not so high.

"Zilong, why are you here? Come, go in with the king. Liu Yu walked over and grabbed Zhao Yun's hand.

"Lord Wang, this is not very good." Being held by a big man in front of the public, Zhao Yun felt very embarrassed and hurriedly looked at Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan, a person-like figure, could see that Zhao Yun had entered Liu Yu's eyes, and said, "Let's go in together." ”

Gongsun Zhan said so, and Zhao Yun also followed Liu Yu into the camp.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were envious, Zhao Yun was appreciated by King Zhao, and he would definitely cross the dragon gate and soar into the sky in the future
