"Come, General Gongsun, please take a seat." Now Liu Bei is under the roof of Gongsun Zhan, and he has to be angry and respectful to any close tenacity around him, at this time he is still worried about whether Gongsun Yue's soldiers will suddenly attack him, so there is always a stone hanging in his heart, on the surface it is calm, but in his heart it is actually turbulent.

"Deran, make a cup of tea for General Gongsun!"

"Yes, General Gongsun, wait a minute!"

"Hey~ This is too polite, you are all my brother's junior brothers, and you are all your own people, nothing to see!"

Gongsun Yue sat down and saw that there was no one else present except Liu Deran, so he said: "General Liu, since you are the junior brother of my brother, you are usually commensurate with brothers, and you are older than me, so Gongsun Yue will dare to call you Brother Xuande today." ”

"Wherever and wherever you are, it is Liu Bei's honor to be commensurate with your brother." Liu Bei saw that Gongsun Yue had no malicious intentions, so he relaxed his heart a little.

"Come, General Gongsun, please have tea!" Liu Deran supervised the teacup and said next to Gongsun Yue.

"Oh, thank you!" Gongsun Yue took the teacup with both hands.

"Brother!" Liu Deran put the teacup next to Liu Bei again.

"Okay, Deran, you go out first, I have a few words with General Gongsun!"

"Yes!" Liu Deran turned around and left the room and closed the door with his hand.

Gongsun Yue saw that Liu Deran was gone, and there were only two people left in the house, himself and Liu Bei, so he said: "Brother Xuande, today the clan brother received a letter, I don't know what it means, so let me come by the way to ask you, and ask Brother Xuande to explain it in detail for my family brother." ”

"What letter?" When Liu Bei heard him say this, he began to be vigilant again, because Liu Bei knew that Gongsun Zhan was not illiterate, and there was no shortage of people around him who had ideas, and this time he suddenly took a letter to let him help him come up with ideas, it must have ulterior motives.

"I didn't bring this letter here, the specific content is like this, this letter was sent by Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, he is now a general named Liyi under Jizhou Mu Han Fu rebelled, Han Fu is busy solving the civil strife, I hope my brother will take this opportunity to lead the army south to crusade against Han Fu, so that Han Fu can be embarrassed internally and externally, and finally eliminate Han Fu together, Yuan Shao also promised to jointly occupy Jizhou after the matter is completed, I don't know how Brother Xuande thinks about this matter, I don't know what Yuan Shao means?"

Liu Bei listened to Gongsun Yue's words, and his brain suddenly made a "buzzing" sound, isn't this kind of behavior clearly ignoring the imperial court, what is the common occupation, isn't this clearly going to carve up Jizhou, Jizhou Mu Hanfu is a feudal official appointed by the imperial court, and now a Bohai Taishou plus an ordinary lieutenant can blatantly divide the land, this kind of rebellious thing Gongsun Chan can't see it, and even came to ask himself, at this time Liu Bei looked up at Gongsun Yue, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, The pair of eyes full of murderous intent were staring at him at this time, and Liu Bei understood that Gongsun Zhan was testing himself, and these soldiers should have been prepared for their dissatisfaction.

Liu Bei took a deep breath of cold air and said, "Liu Bei is at the disposal of General Gongsun. ”

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Gongsun Yue smiled with satisfaction and said, "Oh, Brother Xuande misunderstood, how can my family brother doubt Brother Xuande's determination, it's just that he wants to know what you think about this matter, he just wants to hear your opinion!" ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "Yuan Shao's ambition is very big, his statement this time to occupy Jizhou with General Gongsun, I'm afraid it's not his true idea, maybe he is using General Gongsun or not, and I hope General Gongsun will see it." ”

"Utilization? What do you mean? Are you Yuan Shao who won't fulfill his promise in the end? ”

"I don't know the specific situation yet, so I won't come up with too detailed things, I just think that Yuan Shao is ambitious, since he is ready to crusade against Han Fu, it shows that he is no longer satisfied with a Bohai County, and it is better to be cautious when cooperating with this kind of person!"

"Well, I know, I will tell my brother what Brother Xuande meant, so I won't bother Brother Xuande in the future, Brother Xuande's uncle's affairs, I hope you will mourn and change smoothly, and I will say goodbye." Gongsun got up and walked out of the room.

"Why did General Gongsun come out?"

"Oh, I'm here to mourn on behalf of my brother, and now that the matter is done, I won't trouble you anymore, haha...... Go first! ”

"Let's go after dinner, you see you haven't even drunk tea here!" Liu Bei walked out and greeted.

"No, see you another day!" Gongsun Yue Yue went with the iron horse.

Seeing that they were all gone, Liu Bei said angrily: "These robbers, and the Yellow Turban Army are thieves, I think the real thieves are these princes, this is really going to be a big mess, the court is no longer able to control these princes, the Han Dynasty's decree has lost its effectiveness, Deran, maybe only the army in his hands will be useful in the future." ”

"What did he have with you?"

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan are ready to carve up Jizhou and destroy Han Fu!"

"Doing something?"

"Unauthorized action!" Liu Bei slammed his fist on the door.

What Gongsun Chan wants is Liu Bei's attitude, as for Liu Bei is worried about whether Yuan Shao is using him, then it doesn't matter, he is a Taishou of Bohai County, and wants to annex the first state at once, this is simply an idiot's dream, and I don't know who is using whom at that time, so Gongsun Chan resolutely led the army to fight for Han Fu in the south.

But what Gongsun Zhan never expected was that Jizhou's internal and external difficulties had exhausted Han Fu, and he was no longer able to control Jizhou, at this time, Yuan Shao sent someone to make friends with Jiyi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent his nephew Gao Gan, Xun Chen, who was very good at Han Fu's personal education, to Yecheng to serve Han Fu, so that Han Fu gave up the position of Jizhou pastor, just like that, Yuan Shao did not waste a soldier and captured Jizhou from Han Fu, and at the same time got a capable general like Liyi, the strength of Yuan Shao Group soared, When Gongsun Chan learned the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but his strength was not as good as Yuan Shao, so he could only swallow his anger and retreat to Jizhou in humiliation, but he would never forget this.

Just when Gongsun Chan was worried about being deceived by Yuan Shao, another incident made Gongsun Chan resentful.

It turned out that after the emperor was forced by Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an, Liu Yu's son Liu He served by the emperor's side. The emperor wanted to return to Luoyang, so he quietly asked Liu He to go to Youzhou via Nanyang, and asked Liu Yu to send troops to respond. But before Liu He arrived in Youzhou, he was intercepted by Yuan Shu on the road, Yuan Shu sent someone to contact Liu Yu, suggesting that Youzhou directly send troops to come and let Liu He command, and then Yuan and Liu jointly advanced westward. The son is in the hands of Yuan Shu, how dare Liu Yu not agree, but Gongsun Zan is not happy, he knows very well that Yuan Shu is scheming, once these cavalry arrive in the south, it will become Yuan Shu's bag, he tried every means to dissuade him, but Liu Yu insisted on not complying.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was in the camp tent and slammed the table angrily for these bad things, Guan Jing saw this and said: "General, I have an idea below, I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”

"Let's go."

"I think that our current diplomatic strategy should be changed, now we have a very tense relationship with Liu Yu in Youzhou and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, with our current strength, we should not make too many enemies, and now we oppose Liu Yu to transport the army to Yuan Shu, once Yuan Shu learns the situation, the relationship between us and Yuan Shu will not be optimistic."

At this time, Gongsun Chan listened to Guan Jing's words, frowned, and said, "Then what should you do?" ”

"The relationship between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao is well known, before the establishment of the anti-Dong Zhuo Lianmei, Yuan Shao became the leader of the Lianmei Alliance, which made Yuan Shu, who had always despised Yuan Shao, very dissatisfied in his heart, and later saw that many princes were closer to Yuan Shao, and he even publicly declared why everyone was not close to him Yuan Shu, but to be close to a slave of his Yuan family, which shows that the relationship between their brothers has broken down. Now that we regard Yuan Shao as an enemy, it is better for us to make friends with Yuan Shu and form an alliance in order to seek foreign aid. ”

These words immediately made Gongsun Zhan feel empowered, and he suddenly came to his senses and said: "You have to be quite reasonable, but we have already done something out of the ordinary to Yuan Shu, and once he knows that we are trying to dissuade Liu Yu's actions, he will definitely resent us." ”

"It's okay, I suggested that the general write a letter to Yuan Shu and take the initiative to persuade him to imprison Liu Yu's son Liu He and incorporate Liu Yu's army."

"We persuaded Liu Yu not to send the army before, and now we persuade Yuan Shu to incorporate the army, which is also too cheap, Yuan Shu will definitely feel that we are not befriending him out of sincerity, but out of fear of him."

"One more, the general sent General Gongsun Yue to lead a thousand cavalry south, and asked him to support Yuan Shu on your behalf, General Gongsun Yue is your younger brother, and the etiquette of diplomacy is already very high, so presumably Yuan Shu will agree to form an alliance with us."

"Well, that's okay, we have too many enemies now, and that's the only way to go." Gongsun Zhan actually understands that letting Gongsun Vietnam go down is actually to send hostages to Yuan Shu, although there is some humiliation, but this is also no way to do it: "The current situation is chaotic and complicated, and the big separatist forces are everywhere, and I am deceitful and intrigued, either you eat me today, or I eat you today, the Han Dynasty has lost its authority, he is no longer able to manage, there is no virtue and legal constraints between people, there is only the strength and weakness of the force, the advantages and disadvantages of strategy, Therefore, in the future, our strategy should be based on the development of strength, and the strategy of diplomacy cannot be left behind. ”

"General, I will do my best to fight for the general!"

"Well, you go, I'm going to be alone for a while!"
