Chapter 1189 - The Way Is Different (Page 1/1)

As soon as Jian Yong spoke, Gongsun Zhanmao suddenly opened up, exclaimed, and immediately introduced Jian Yong as a confidant.

Even Guan Jing was amazed. This pros and cons are so clever, why didn't I think of it? If he did this earlier, why would Gongsun Chan be so embarrassed, even if he couldn't win everyone, he could keep most of them neutral.

Gongsun Chan set up a banquet to entertain Jian Yong. Jian Yong once again expressed Liu Bei's intentions and was willing to support Gongsun Zan and fight against Yuan Shao. With Sun Ce's money and food support, their brothers and sisters will fight side by side, and they will definitely be able to defeat Yuan Shao and control Youzhou. Of course, the premise is to get Zhang Ze's support. Zhang is the assassin of Youzhou appointed by the imperial court, and to obtain his support is to obtain the approval of the imperial court, and the righteousness is not lost.

Will Zhang support them? Definitely. The imperial court sent Zhang Ze to Youzhou, just because he didn't want Youzhou to fall into the hands of Yuan Shao. Zhang is a foreigner and must be supported by the locals of Youzhou. Who is the strongest in Youzhou right now? Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du are the first to be recommended, followed by Liu Bei. If Zhang wants to stabilize Youzhou, it is impossible not to seek the support of Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. In addition, he is also inseparable from Sun Ce's support. Without money and food, he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Youzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Shao.

The more Gongsun Chan listened, the more he felt that it made sense. He asked Jian Yong to reply to Liu Bei, willing to meet with Liu Bei and discuss the plan. Liu Bei received the news and personally rushed to Jixian County to meet Gongsun Zhan, and the etiquette was doubled, and his brother did not leave his mouth like when he was studying before, and made some explanations for his previous behavior. Liu Bei gave a lot of gifts to Guan Jing and others, coaxing several people trusted by Gongsun Zhan to smile, and vied to say good things for Liu Bei.

Gongsun Zhan was discouraged, hospitable, and enjoyed himself with Liu Bei.

After forming an alliance with Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan immediately sent Guan Jing to meet Lu Zhu to report the news and reiterate his desire to send Gongsun to Pingyu.

Elk Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. With the unity of these forces, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to take Youzhou, and Sun Ce's pressure will be greatly reduced. He accepted Gongsun Zhan's request and would report to Sun Ce as soon as possible. Before receiving Sun Ce's instructions, he will fully support Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei within the scope of his authority, and a large number of ordnance and food will be delivered to them one after another.

Gongsun Chan was relieved and immediately returned the favor. He selected a thousand good horses from the captured war horses, escorted them by Gongsun Xu and two hundred white horses, boarded the big ship delivered by Elkzhu, and rushed to Qingzhou.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan sent Guan Jing, Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun to rush to Juyong Pass with evidence to expose Liu Yu to meet Zhang Ze, the assassin of Youzhou.

——

In the middle of September, Shanggu, Juyongguan.

Zhang stood on the highest beacon tower with his hands behind his back, looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall. He has been a eunuch for half his life, mostly in the frontier and military camps, has been weathered for a long time, his face looks older than his actual age, his beard has turned gray, and the wrinkles on his face are as deep as a knife.

At this moment, his expression was solemn, and there was a trace of pain in his solemn eyes.

Footsteps sounded behind him, brisk, with a hint of impatience. Zhang Ze glanced back, waved his hand quietly, and motioned for the guards around him to retreat. When Tian Chou saw this, his expression froze, and his steps became heavy. He walked up to Zhang Ze's side, his voice a little dry.

"Envoy, are you looking for me?"

Zhang turned around and looked at Tian Chou. "Zitai, I have something to discuss with you."

"Envoy, please speak." Tian Chou became more and more uneasy. Along the way, in order to avoid Yuan Shao's obstruction, he led Zhang Ze from Chang'an through the straight road to Shuofang, and then along the grassland all the way east, re-entering the fortress at Juyong Pass. After passing the Juyong Pass, even if you enter the hinterland of Youzhou. Entering the hinterland of Youzhou, it is time to deal with the killing of Liu Yu. Zhang Ze was looking for him at this time, and he had this look again, which should be related to this matter.

"Zitai, we have been walking together for more than a month, so we can be regarded as friends who have forgotten the New Year, right?"

"Don't dare. The gentleman has both virtue and ability, loyalty and courage, and the pillar of the country, he is the sage I admire, how dare I argue with the envoy. ”

Zhang Ze sighed lightly: "It seems that Zitai doesn't look down on me." Anyway, since you are in chaos, you can't expect to get out of the way. Zitai, I don't dare to expect too much, I just hope you can listen to me, okay? ”

Tian Chou was even more uneasy in his heart. He already had a sense of foreboding, and what Zhang was going to say would not be what he wanted to hear. But here and now, he can't listen if he doesn't want to, Zhang is obviously in trouble and needs his help.

"Do you know Guan Jing?"

"Acquaintance." Tian Chou's eyebrows frowned. "The long history of Gongsun Zhan."

"He just arrived and brought some paperwork." Zhang took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and shook it. "I think you should take a look."

Tian Chou looked at the roll of paper, and his heart tightened. He knew the pale yellow paper. When he was in Chang'an, many people used such paper to write articles and songs, and the Son of Heaven even rewarded him with a few. This is Nanyang paper. Guan Jing is Gongsun Zhan's long history, but he writes documents on Nanyang paper, and Sun Ce has already reached out to Youzhou? What is written on this scroll of paper, using Sun Ce's means of turning the clouds and making the rain and turning white into black, this is certainly not good news.

Seeing that Tian Chou was motionless, Zhang Ze sighed. "Zitai ......"

Tian Chou suddenly woke up, took a step forward, took the scroll of paper from Zhang Ze's hand, and unfolded it to read. He read slowly, his face became more and more ugly, but his fingers became tighter and tighter, and the autumn wind grew colder, and his heart became colder and colder. By the end of the reading, his hands trembled and he almost crumpled the paper roll.

"Good means." Tian Chou sneered: "Sure enough, it's a good means." ”

"You don't believe me?"

"Convinced?"

Zhang smiled, but smiled bitterly. He is not Tian Chou, he has been in officialdom for a long time and knows that people have two sides. No one is perfect, even if Liu Yu is not heinous, he is by no means a white and flawless gentleman. If Gongsun Chan wants to prove his innocence, he naturally wants to nail Liu Yu to death, and he will not falsify evidence at this time, otherwise he will be even more embarrassed once it is exposed. Moreover, there are some things that do not need to be slandered by Gongsun Zhan, and many of Liu Yu's practices are easy to cause criticism. What he thinks in his heart, others don't know, others can only see what he does.

"Zitai, I know that you have a noble temperament, but you must have heard the phrase that the bright are easy to defile. Officialdom is like a dye vat, no one can be spotless, and it is not easy to do a big festival without loss. Zhang paused, turned around, and looked directly at Tian Chou. Especially in troubled times, sometimes you have to turn a blind eye, some things should be done but can't, and some things should not be done but have to be done......"

Tian Chou was furious and unceremoniously interrupted Zhang Ze. "Envoy, are you saying that for the sake of the so-called overall situation, you want to watch Liu Envoyjun innocently being killed in front and his name being tarnished in the back, but you want to mingle with Gongsun Zhan and talk about wine?"

Zhang nodded.

Tian Chou narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Ze coldly, like looking at someone he didn't know. "It turns out that the envoy is such a capable minister, but let me see it. The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, since this is the case, then I wish the king and the horse success, and I will say goodbye in the next. I don't believe in the greatness of the world, but there is no place for redress, no person for redress, and no way to redress injustice. ”

Zhang Ze didn't stop him, walked to the city wall, and watched Tian Chou leave angrily. He shouted. Tian Chou stopped, raised his head and glared at Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze raised his hand and threw the paper roll down. Tian Chou subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"Zitai, if you want to redress Liu Yuanjun's grievances, you might as well check whether these accusations are true first. How is it? ”
