Yuan Shao never expected that when the sect members had the advantage, they would actually rush into pursuit of Gongsun Zhan.

As a result, he gave his life not to mention, but also reversed the tide of the battle, changed hands in Youzhou, and made Gongsun Chan the master of Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan became the ruler of Youzhou, making Yuan Shao's situation even more dangerous.

Gongsun Chan in the north and Guo Peng in the south, if the two join forces, they will die without a place to be buried!

Yuan Shao suddenly felt a little desperate.

But at this time, Xun Chen's words calmed down Yuan Shao.

"Gongsun Zhan is just a county guard, and killing the assassin appointed by the imperial court with the position of a county guard is originally an unjustifiable thing, and it can be called a thief, and now he calls himself the Marquis of Youzhou, which is even more unjustifiable, and the anti-intention is obvious.

Although the sect members have not made great achievements, they have guarded Youzhou since the beginning of Xiaoling, with wide influence and great influence, and all forces in Youzhou obey him, once he died, he was killed by Gongsun Zhan, how can the old ministry accept it?

Now Gongsun Chan suddenly defeated the strong with the weak, and it seems to be strong, like the rising sun, but there must be people at the bottom who are dissatisfied, and the old department of the sect members will definitely not accept this situation, and there is no need for the general to do it, so naturally someone will send Gongsun Zhan's head. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt that this was the truth, nodded and put his mind at ease.

Then he summoned the strategists to discuss how to restrain Gongsun Chan by supporting the anti-Gongsun forces in Youzhou and buy time for his own development.

The strategists made their own suggestions, racked their brains for Yuan Shao's safety, and came up with a lot of ideas that were either bright or bad.

The subsequent development of the matter did not surprise Yuan Shao's strategist group.

Gongsun Zhan didn't have time to become the lord of Youzhou to enjoy the honor and status, and the old sect members rebelled one after another.

Gongsun Chan had no choice but to mobilize troops to recruit and suppress the old department of the sect members, and sent troops everywhere to escort the Taishou appointed by himself to take office, take charge of the place, and exterminate the power of the old department of the sect members.

In order to prevent the resurgence of the clan's power, Gongsun Chan actually killed the entire clan member's family, thinking that this would make the political demands of the old ministry become rootless duckweed.

Well, not long ago, Dong Zhuo also thought so.

So the conflict in Youzhou is still quite violent.

Gongsun Chan was tired of conquering local forces and was unable to launch a sabotage attack on Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao wanted to use troops to recruit Gongsun Zhan, but he was very sad to find that the military rations were exhausted and he couldn't fight at all.

So he had to step up the search for places, raise military rations, and prepare to cooperate with the old department of the sect to crusade against Gongsun Zhan, and abolish Gongsun Chan by attacking from both sides.

This news reached Guo Peng's side, and Guo Peng was not too surprised, because he had already thought of this possibility.

The sect member once wrote to Guo Peng, saying that he was dissatisfied with Gongsun Chan, and wanted Guo Peng to write a letter to condemn Gongsun Chan and ask him not to keep doing things.

Guo Peng didn't dare to say that his letter would definitely make Gongsun Zhan more restrained.

After getting along with Gongsun Chan for a while during the discussion of Dong, Guo Peng could see Gongsun Chan's radical personality.

What he recognizes, no one can really reverse his thoughts, and it is extreme to a certain extent.

Moreover, it takes more than ten days to go from Youzhou to Qingzhou even if it is by sea, and it takes more than half a month to come and go, and it is too late for Guo Peng to know and mediate everything.

Not to mention that Guo Peng didn't want to mediate at all.

Youzhou without sect members and Gongsun Chan is a good Youzhou, and it is Youzhou that completely belongs to him.

How can a person like Guo who has a strong desire to control tolerate the existence of forces on his own territory that he cannot control?

If you can kill them all with Yuan Shao's hand, you can give yourself a justifiable excuse for complete control.

Although it is true that there are some regrets.

The old superior who had known each other since the Battle of the Yellow Turbans was also very unpredictable.

The relationship is not very good, but he still takes care of Guo Peng very much, and he has never been embarrassed by Guo Peng, and he is a relatively ideal superior.

And so he died.

As soon as the sect member dies, the peaceful situation that Youzhou has maintained for several years from before the great chaos no longer exists, and it will inevitably fall into a new chaotic war.

A few were shattered, and a few perished.

Guo Peng sighed deeply.

Then grinned.

It's better to die at the hands of the enemy now than at my hands in the future, right?

It's better to die with a good impression of me than to die with three views in the future, right?

An acquaintance and a colleague, I still can't bear to take action in person.

Guo poured a glass of wine with a smile and sprinkled it on the ground facing the north, sending his condolences to the sect members.

Then he pretended to write a letter, denouncing Gongsun Zhan's behavior of killing the sect member's family, expressing strong dissatisfaction with him, laying the foundation for his future advancement in Youzhou, and preventing the possibility that Yuan Shaotai did not kill Gongsun Zhan and needed to take action himself.

The death of the patriarch opened the prelude to the collective withdrawal of the old bureaucrats of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the new troubled times.

The old bureaucrats in peacetime are unable to adapt to the high pace and undisciplined conduct of the struggle for hegemony in troubled times, and will inevitably retire at a very fast pace.

And the new generation of warlords will soon take their place and make a career.

The era of the Eastern Han Dynasty will gradually fade away with the withdrawal of the old bureaucrats, and the new era will come with the growth of young people who are full of hegemony mentality.

As if to confirm Guo Peng's point of view.

In mid-May, when Guo Peng was presiding over a large-scale military training in Lu County, he received an unprecedented piece of news.

Dong Zhuo is dead.

was killed by Situ Wang Yun and Zhonglang and Lu Bu.

When Guo Peng got the news, Dong Zhuo should have been dead for more than half a month, so if you work backwards, Dong Zhuo should have died in April of the third year of Chuping.

If the death of the sect member only messed up Youzhou, made the peaceful situation in Youzhou no longer exist, and it was difficult to affect the situation in the Central Plains, then Dong Zhuo's death was the news that shook the world.

Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and the Dong Alliance was dissolved, the world has entered a period of relative stability.

Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan competed for hegemony in Hebei, Yuan Shu's faction gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, Liu Yan was in Yizhou, and Dong Zhuo was in Guanxi.

The competition for supremacy between them remained at the regional level and did not enter the national level.

As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the forces of the world suddenly dissipated.

Originally, it was not a big deal, Dong Zhuo died when he died, and the key was that Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor.

Now everyone can freely fight for hegemony and ignore the imperial court, the reason is that Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court, and the name Han Xiang is really a Han thief, so everyone does not listen to the orders of the imperial court.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and the scholars are in power, once the emperor issues an edict, how can everyone continue to pretend to be confused, how can they continue to fight for hegemony?

The situation has been disrupted and unbalanced.

Once the emperor is free, it will not be a good thing for all the ambitious princes in the world.

It is also not good for those who invest resources in the princes.

Everyone is ready to meet the troubled times, why did you, Dong Zhuo, suddenly die?

Can't you continue to be a thief and make things convenient for everyone?

Rubbish!
