Since Tian Kai plans to lead troops to be stationed in other states as the state assassin, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Liu Bei himself to take advantage of and get rid of Gongsun Zhan, as long as he helps Tian Kai, Tian Kai will definitely agree to his request and let him leave here with him, so Liu Bei said: "General Tian, what you mean Liu Bei understands, Liu Bei will find an opportunity to help you explain this matter to General Gongsun, but Liu Bei also has a request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Seeing that Liu Bei agreed, Tian Kai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, Brother Liu's matter is my Tian Kai's matter." ”

"You also know that if you want to hold Yuan Shao hostage, in addition to being feasible in Youzhou, then there is only Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Bingzhou, but the state is deserted, there are few resources, and there are often foreign invasions, and there is also a strong Montenegrin army, you go there alone to open up power, it is very difficult, followed by Qingzhou and Yanzhou, for Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban thieves there have always been strong, and there is also Yuan Shao's Zang Hong stationed here, Yanzhou recently learned that the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves are invading Yanzhou on a large scale, and Liu Dai was killed. There is also Cao Cao sent by Yuan Shao stationed in Dongjun, so whether you go to Qingzhou or Yanzhou, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious than lucky, I don't know if you have thought about it" Liu Bei described the current situation one by one.

"This, what to do then?" Tian Kai hurriedly asked.

"I was fought by the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou, although defeated, but I already know the way the Qingxu Yellow Turban Thieves fight, if the general does not give up, if General Gongsun sends you to Qingzhou or Yanzhou, you will bring me Liu Bei, firstly, Liu Bei can cut through thorns for the general, and secondly, Liu Bei also has some personal affairs, when he served as a county commander in Gaomi County, Qingzhou, I was defeated by them, and I was embarrassed when I fled, and the shadow of this failure has been lingering in Liu Bei's heart, Therefore, I hope that the general can take Liu Bei with him, so that I can help you pacify the Qingxu Yellow Turban thief, and by the way, let me regain my confidence and sweep away the humiliation of the past. Liu Bei said embarrassedly.

"No problem, Brother Liu is defeated and fighting, and he dares to face his own humiliation, which is really a hero." Tian Kai agreed in one bite.

"Oops, General Tian is really serious, Liu Bei is really ashamed!"

"Haha......" The two smiled at each other.

"That's okay, Brother Liu just came back, he must be tired, then Tian won't bother you, let's see you another day, say goodbye today!"

"Okay, General Tian go slowly!"

Seeing that Tian Kai was gone, Liu Deran and the others returned to the camp again, and Liu Bei also told everyone about Tian Kai.

Jian Yong said: "It's really a pie that has fallen, the general must seize this opportunity." ”

"I understand, but how do you come up with this idea to Gongsun Zhan?" Liu Bei couldn't figure it out.

"This ...... It's a little difficult, Gongsun Chan is now wary of you, if you propose to Gongsun Chan to let Tian Kai go, and then Tian Kai proposes to let you go with him, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a conspiracy in advance. ”

"It's nerve-wracking." At this time, Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, Liu Bei opened his eyes and saw that it was the doorman.

"General Qiyu, General Gongsun sent someone to call you to go, there is something to discuss."

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, just let you go now."

"Okay, I know, I'll go right away."

After the doorman walked out, Liu Deran hurriedly said: "You just came back, why did he ask you to go again, wouldn't he know about the matter between us?" ”

"Just a few of us know about it, it shouldn't be, it's okay, I'll come when I go."

"Xuande, wait, let Yun Changyide go with you, there are many people to take care of."

"Yes, big brother, let's go with you."

"Okay, let's go."

At this time, Liu Bei came to Gongsun Zhan's camp with a feeling of anxiety, but heard the cry coming from the camp tent, Liu Bei quickened his pace, walked into the camp tent to see, there were Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Guan Jing and others in the camp tent, they were all around Gongsun Chan who was crying on the ground at this time, Liu Bei looked at the scene in front of him, he was very puzzled, he didn't know what was going on, so he pulled Tian Kai's clothes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tian Kai saw that it was Liu Bei, so he said in a low voice: "General Gongsun's brother Gongsun Yue was killed by Yuan Shao." ”

"What!" Liu Bei was taken aback.

At this time, Tian Kai saw Gongsun Zan crying to death, so he pulled Liu Bei aside and said: "Gongsun Yue led his troops to Yuan Shu before, you also know, the Yuan brothers are not harmonious, Yuan Shao took advantage of Yuan Shu's crusade against Dong Zhuo, sent troops to occupy Yuan Shu's territory, Yuan Shu asked Gongsun Yue to fight back against Yuan Shao, but unfortunately Gongsun Yue was killed by an arrow." ”

"This ......" Liu Bei thought to himself at this time, as soon as Gongsun Chan died, the contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao would obviously be further increased, as long as Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao started a war, he could take the opportunity to put forward a proposal to Gongsun Chan to encircle and suppress Yuan Shao, what did he really want, Liu Bei then approached Gongsun Chan who was crying and fell to the ground, and held Gongsun Chan's shoulders with both hands and shouted loudly: "General, manly husband, what is crying and crying, Gongsun Yue was killed by Yuan Shao, can you cry him back to life by crying like this, ah!" ”

Being shouted by Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan stopped crying, looked at Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei continued: "Yuan Shao, this old horseman, first deceived you to carve up Jizhou, this is to deceive you, and then killed your compatriots, this is to insult you, so bullying you and humiliating you, how can we swallow our anger, how can we give up, you can bear it, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, I ask everyone present, who can bear it." ”

"That's right, General Liu is doing a good job, start a war against Yuan Shao, an old horseman, start a war!" Being like this by Liu Bei, the generals under Gongsun Zhan were all indignant, and everyone claimed to start a war with Yuan Shao.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei, who had always contradicted his opinions, stood on his own position, and his expression turned from sadness to anger, and he said categorically: "Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, disregarded the safety of the Han court and the emperor, but colluded with others to establish a new emperor, which is disloyal; Making an appointment with someone, but then tearing up the contract, this is unbelievable; He and Yuan Shu are brothers of the same clan, but they take the initiative to provoke a war between brothers, which is unjust; What is the use of such a disloyal, unrighteous and unbelievable person who stays in the world, my father-in-law and grandson Chan will act in place today, and he will surely kill this thief with retribution, and his brother An. ”

"The general is wise." Everyone present bowed their hands in unison.

"You all sit down, since you want to fight, you have to fight a prepared battle, how should you fight."

Seeing that Gongsun Chan asked about the strategy, everyone didn't know what to do, mainly because things came too suddenly, and no one was prepared, at this time Tian Kai looked at Liu Bei and wanted Liu Bei to talk at this time, but Liu Bei's identity was not Gongsun Zhan's cronies, and the first one to talk was too impatient, so Liu Bei deliberately pretended not to see Tian Kai.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Gongsun Zhan named and said, "Guan Jing, you." ”

Seeing that Gongsun Zhan had called his name, Guan Jing also had to, so he said, "This ...... The general might as well send an envoy to contact Yuan Shu, and we will have a north-south attack, so that Yuan Shao can not care about each other. ”

Gongsun Zhan squinted his eyes at this time and said, "What does Xuande think of this method?" ”

Gongsun Zan called Liu Bei coldly, Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "Guan Jing's proposal is really a long-distance and close attack, it can be said that it is an old man seeking the country, Liu Bei thinks it is feasible, but there will be some difficulties." ”

Gongsun Chan also knew that the focus of people in this kind of talk was often after "but", and some of the previous words were just to take care of the face of others, so he said: "Oh? You see, what a difficult method. ”

"Yuan Shao seized Jizhou from Han Fu, its foundation is not solid, there are many crises, in the north of Jizhou, there are us who may go south at any time; The annexed states to the west include the territory of Jizhou, as well as hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops; In the south of Jizhou, there are aggressive Yuan Shu and Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves who invaded Yanzhou; To the east of Jizhou, there are Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves who may invade at any time, and there are enemies in the east, west, north and south, which is Yuan Shao's external trouble. ”

"Yes, go on." Gongsun Zhan Liu Bei was very reasonable, and nodded in agreement.

"Yuan Shao is not from Jizhou, before he occupied Jizhou, he already had his own team, this time he invaded Jizhou as a foreign force, how could the local forces in Jizhou be at his mercy, in this way, Yuan Shao's old team and the local forces in Jizhou will be full of contradictions, once he does not handle this relationship well, there will be endless troubles, this is Yuan Shao's internal worries, so internal and external troubles Yuan Shao, how can he sit idly by."

"Go on."

"Let's take the external troubles, the days before, I heard that Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao to Yanzhou to serve as the Taishou of Dongjun, Cao Cao and Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, and Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao are fighting with the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves who invaded Yanzhou, this is undoubtedly Yuan Shao is importing his own forces into Yanzhou, he intends to send Cao Cao and others to establish a sphere of influence in Yanzhou, so as to act as a security protection for Jizhou to defend Yuan Shu, as long as Cao Cao and other Rao exist, Yuan Shu wants to break through Yanzhou from Yuzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult, let alone go north to attack Jizhou."

"Well, it's good, Yuan Shao is also a scheming and prepared, so what should you do."

"This ...... I feel it under ...... I haven't thought about it yet. Liu Bei wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing Liu Bei twisting and pinching this time, Gongsun Zhan not only sneered, but also said: "Xuande, I didn't look like a man just now, why have you become so girly now, haha......"

As soon as Gongsun Zhan finished speaking, everyone present laughed, and at this time Liu Bei said: "Liu Bei's thinking is not mature, so he ......"

"If you have an idea in your heart, even if you are immature, you can still discuss it." Before Liu Bei finished, Gongsun Zhan said.

"Then Liu Bei is it, I feel that instead of relying on Yuan Shu's external strength, it is better to rely on his own strength, does the general remember that after the death of Jiao He, the assassin of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao privately appointed Zang Hong as the assassin of Qingzhou, and Liu Dai privately appointed Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun after killing Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun."

"Remember, what do you mean ......" Gongsun Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and he pointed at Liu Bei and said, "It's really yours, Xuande." ”
