Chapter 193: Gongsun Zhan's Three Choices
Beiping County, Gongsun Zhan's Taishou Mansion.
"What do you think about this?"
Gongsun Zhan sat down with Liu Bei, Tian Kai and others.
Yan Gang said: "I think I can promise Yuan Shao, this is a good thing." ”
Liu Bei, who has nowhere to go, has deviated from his life trajectory. Until now, he is still following Gongsun Zhan, and he has not left to work alone.
Zhao Hui has now become Gongsun Zhan's confidant, he knows the talents of Liu Bei's three brothers, even if Liu Bei wants to leave, Gongsun Chan will not let go now.
Liu Bei was also unwilling to be compared to Zhao Hui. He also wants to be here, and he can separate a winner from Zhao Hui.
Gongsun Chan said, "Xuande, what is your opinion?" ”
Liu Bei said: "I don't recommend sending troops to Jizhou. ”
Yan Gang said: "Don't you want this half of Jizhou given away for nothing?" ”
Shan Jing followed: "This Yuan Shao said in the letter that as long as we attack Jizhou with him, he is willing to share Jizhou with us equally." ”
If Gongsun Chan really got half of Jizhou, they wouldn't be able to be too guarded.
Liu Bei said: "Let's not say whether Yuan Shao's words can be believed, if we send troops now, Zhao Hui of Shanggu will attack Beiping County, and we will not even have a way to retreat." In my opinion, it is better to deal with Zhao Hui first. ”
Gongsun Chan nodded: "Xuande is reasonable. ”
Zhao Hui was already a big problem for Gongsun Zhan, and if Zhao Hui was not destroyed, Gongsun Chan did not dare to leave Beiping at all.
But for Yuan Shao's proposal, the two divided Jizhou equally, and Gongsun Zhan was very moved in his heart.
Now facing Zhao Hui, he has no confidence in winning at all.
But if half of Jizhou is his backing, Gongsun Zan can kill Zhao Hui even if he uses soldiers.
"Shanggu County is separated from us by one and a half counties, even if Zhao Hui wants to send troops, he will not be able to hit Beiping for a while and a half, and we can let Li Biao block Zhao Hui's army first, and we will have enough time to return to help." Tian Kai said.
As Gongsun Zhan's three henchmen, Yan Gang and Tian Kai all chose to send troops to Jizhou and carve up Jizhou with Yuan Shao.
Tian Kai continued: "Even if Yuan Shao's words are false, but we have already occupied various cities in Jizhou, what can he do with us." ”
Liu Bei said: "Yuan Shao is ambitious, he must want us to consume Han Fu's strength first, I'm afraid this Jizhou won't be so good." ”
Liu Bei and Yuan Shao didn't have much contact, but they knew a lot about Yuan Shao.
There is nothing to do, they are all analyzing Yuan Shao's various practices, what is the purpose or significance.
Gongsun Chan now has three options.
The safest thing is to stay in Beiping, ignore Yuan Shao, and concentrate on facing Zhao Hui.
One is to send troops to Jizhou, but there is a possibility that there will be a fire in the backyard and the whole game will be lost. However, the risk is very high, but it seems that the benefits are also very large.
There is also a compromise between the two options, some people stay in Beiping, and some people go to attack Jizhou.
In the discussion between Liu Bei, Tian Kai and others, Gongsun Chan chose a compromise method.
"Tian Kai, you stay in Beiping, and the rest of me will go out with me." Gongsun Chan made the final decision.
Gongsun Zhan staying, or Liu Bei staying, is actually the best choice.
But although Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei were good brothers in their early years, Liu Bei could not completely reassure Gongsun Chan, and only by taking Liu Bei by his side would Gongsun Chan feel at ease.
As soon as Gongsun Zhan's army left Beiping, it was seen by Zhao Hui's spies.
After Zhao Hui learned about it, he was a little surprised. thought that because of his own existence, Gongsun Chan should not cooperate with Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Chan still went.
He knew that Gongsun Zhan's result this time was just played by Yuan Shao.
In addition to wasting a lot of food, grass and troops, Gongsun Chan got nothing.
After learning that Gongsun Chan sent troops to Jizhou, Zhao Hui was also in Shanggu, called Taishi Ci, Xu Shu and others, and held a military meeting.
Except for Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan, the two fought a battle in Jumashui, during this time, the counties of Youzhou were too guarded, although they were also recruiting troops, but compared to other states, Youzhou was quite peaceful, and there was no annexation war between the Taishou.
The Taishou of other counties, although they were recruiting soldiers and horses, they all knew in their hearts that the strongest in Youzhou were Zhao Hui and Gongsun Zhan.
Even if others recruit a lot of soldiers and horses, they just want to make their chips bigger and get a little more say in the future.
And the final direction of Youzhou still depends on Zhao Hui, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu.
Originally, most of them were too guarded, and they were more inclined to Gongsun Zhan.
However, Gongsun Zhan fought in Juma Water and was defeated by Zhao Hui with less.
Let some neutral Taishou not dare to bet the treasure completely on Gongsun Zhan. We can only continue to wait and see.
Zhao Hui can't figure out the true thoughts of these Taishou now.
directly led the army to attack them, and Zhao Hui was also worried that after the other Taishou learned the news, they would take the initiative to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan.
After all, his roots in Youzhou are too shallow.
There is also a Gongsun degree in Liaodong.
Zhao Hui, who has no foundation, is not suitable for taking the initiative to provoke a war, and it is easy to arouse disgust.
He can also use his absolute strength to push through the past, and kill those who are not convinced.
But in this way, even if Zhao Hui unifies Youzhou, Youzhou will be greatly damaged.
Youzhou is not as rich as Jizhou, and if you want to compete with Yuan Shao, who won Jizhou empty-handed, you will fall into absolute disadvantage in all aspects.
Zhao Hui really wanted to take down the entire Youzhou without bloodshed and preserve the strength of Youzhou.
Or only kill Gongsun Zan alone, and then force the other Taishou to bow their heads and take the initiative to hand over their military power and submit to him.
But Zhao Hui doesn't have a clue now.
He and several other Taishou in Youzhou also have some exchanges now, but these people are like old foxes, looking polite to Zhao Hui, but they have been guarding against Zhao Hui in private.
After all, Zhao Hui forced a county to obediently give up the position of the Taishou.
So in contact with Zhao Hui, everyone was very cautious.
"If you still have any ideas, say them, don't hide them." Zhao Hui said.
Although Zhao Hui knows the direction of history, the power of one person is limited after all.
And Zhao Hui can't be exhaustive in thinking and implementing, and there will always be omissions.
"Gongsun Zhan's departure from Youzhou now is our opportunity. We can at least annex Yuyang County or Fanyang County after he returns. Shi Tao said.
Yuyang County guards Li Biao, and Fanyang County guards Chen Hong, both of which obviously fall to Gongsun Zhan.
Zhao Hui can take advantage of this time to annex these two first.
Xu Shu said: "The teacher is unknown, and I am afraid that he will be criticized." ”
The teacher is still famous, it is important to say that it is important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, and many times it is just an excuse to attack others and put yourself on the top of morality.
Zhao Hui attacked Yuyang County, and if the division was unknown, it might become a stain on other people's mouths later.
However, Zhao Hui didn't care much about this, after all, if others wanted to attack him personally, his identity as a Yellow Turban remnant was enough to be abused by those people.
