Chapter 124: Right in the Middle
After Liu Yi returned to Yan County, according to the words of the two military advisors, he did not move, recuperated and waited for the opportunity, Zhang Hu expected that it was true, Gongsun Zan went to Jixian County to persuade Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to be self-reliant, and said that when Dong thief rebelled today, the emperor was lost, when there was a person who raised his arms and shouted, he could collect the heart of the Quartet and restore my Han Qingming! The adult is a member of the Han clan, and he can take advantage of the time to move, and the minister is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, thinking that I am a move to revive the Han Dynasty! The words are quite earnest.
Liu Yu has a gentle temperament and a reputation in the world, although he is weak but not incompetent, although Gongsun Zhan speaks impassionedly, he looks like a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. But his mind Liu Yu is like watching the fire, if this is the case, he must be a puppet in his hands, if the son is still alive today, don't you want to bear the infamy of eternity on your own self-reliance? How could he do such a fatherless and kingless thing? At the moment, he didn't care about Gongsun Zhan's self-respect, so he categorically refused.
Gongsun Zhan's goal was not achieved, and he was so angry that he put Liu Yu's family in prison, saying that he colluded with foreign races, and his heart was unpredictable, and many people of insight under Zhan persuaded him not to do this, but Gongsun Zhan was stubborn and self-serving, and did not listen to people's words, so he insisted on doing his own thing! When the news came out, the world shook, and everyone reprimanded Gongsun Zhan for his ambitions, and the image he established by relying on his frontier exploits was also repentant, but he was unconscious, and he intensified the rampant raids and plunder, which made the people under his rule also boiling, and the people of insight under his command were all people with a change of mind!
Yuan Shao wrote a book to Jingzhou Liu Biao that day and asked him to intercept Sun Jian, and there was a gap between the table and Sun Jian, so he happily followed it and killed Sun Jian's people halfway! Sun Jian was caught off guard and the soldiers of Dong Shi had suffered heavy losses and were defeated by Liu Biao, but fortunately, the four generals under his command fought desperately to ensure that he fled back to Jiangdong.
After Yuan Shao turned to Bohai, he also felt that the time had come, so he began to gradually attack Jizhou Mu Hanfu, first asking for soldiers, and then asking for food. Han Fu ignored the opposition of his subordinates and blindly tolerated it, but how could Yuan Shao's heart of annexing Jizhou stop because of this? He has a lot of intelligent people under him, Guo Tu offered a plan to let Yuan Shao befriend Gongsun Zhan, let him send troops to Jizhou, if successful, he will be the pastor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao from it. Gongsun Chan has been coveting Jizhou for a long time, but he doesn't know what the plan is, so he started the army and came to Jizhou!
At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered someone to secretly report the news of Gongsun Zhan's troops to Han Fu, Fu was shocked and hurriedly asked about the plan and everyone, Xun Chen said that Gongsun Chan has the elite people, and Liu Xuande's brothers help, it is really a great enemy, General Yuan is stationed in Bohai, and the soldiers under his command are full of food, it is better to ask him to govern the state affairs with the state pastor, then Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are worry-free! However, Geng Wu, the chief bookkeeper under Han Fu's account, was resolutely opposed, saying that Yuan Shao's wolf ambition would be impossible if he was invited to Jizhou! The two sides disputed Han Fu hesitated for a while, but at this time it was Guan Chunjin who said that Liu Yi, the county guard of Yanjun, was a clan member of the Han family, and he was quite famous, and because of Liu Yu's matter, Gongsun Chan had a lot of complaints, and the lord might as well order someone to make friends, and let him send troops to attack Gongsun Zhan's back road, so that the danger of Jizhou could be solved, and there was no need to worry about Yuan Shao's trouble.
When Han Fu heard this, he felt that it was the best of both worlds, but Gongsun Zhan's soldiers pressed the border, so he asked who could do it? Guan Chun indignantly promised, and Zhang He, the captain under Han Fu, also stepped forward, willing to protect Mr. Guan to go to Yan County and ask Liu Yi to send troops to relieve the siege of Jizhou! Han Fu was overjoyed, so he took Guan Chun's plan and wrote a letter to Guan Chun to go to Yanjun, and he sat in Yecheng.
This greatly surprised Yuan Shao, who thought that Han Fu would definitely come to beg him when he had no way out, so he could take the opportunity to seize the entire territory of Jizhou, and then try to deal with Gongsun Zhan, but he didn't expect that there was such a variable as Liu Yi now, breaking his wishful thinking! For the time being, there is nothing to do, so I can only sit and watch the victory of Gongsun Zhan and Han Fu before making calculations.
After Han Fu's mind was established, he no longer thought about it, and he was determined to defend Yecheng, which he had been operating for several years, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he did not invite Yuan Shao to enter the city with the original, and the hearts of his subordinates were still there.
To say that his move was not only unexpected by Yuan Shao, but also not in Liu Yi's imagination, after Gongsun Zan sent troops, Liu Yi and Zhang Hu Xizhicai discussed the matter of sending troops in detail, their idea was to take advantage of the enemy's emptiness, attack Jixian first, and strive to rescue Liu Yu, then they had a head start in terms of reputation.
On this day, everyone was discussing in the house and arranging specific troop dispatches, and when they were discussing, an attendant suddenly came to report, saying that Guan Chun Zhang He, the account of Jizhou Mu Han Fu, came to ask to see Lord Liu!
"Congratulations to the lord, Han Fu sent an envoy here to fight for Yecheng, and our army can still benefit from this expedition!" Gongsun Zhan's march into Jizhou naturally attracted everyone's attention, and now that an envoy came to see Liu Yi to ask for help, how could he not allow it to benefit? Zhang Hu smiled slightly.
"What Zicai said is very true, the lord can quickly ask the envoy to enter the account, but to say that there have been frequent foreign activities recently, and we are discussing the affairs of the frontier!" Xi Zhicai has already made up his mind.
"Hahaha, since the two gentlemen are all willing to do this, why don't you obey it, don't let them see my intention to send troops, and invite the two envoys in!" Of course Liu Yi knows what Xi Zhicai means, we are good at this, isn't it just crying poor? That Yecheng is extremely rich, and this bamboo pole has to ring it! What surprised Liu Yi even more was that there was Zhang He among the envoys, this was the fifth son of Wei, who was famous for later generations, how could he stoop to Han Fu? In history, this person returned to Yuan Shao after Han Fu's defeat, but today he must try to take him down here.
"Don't drive Guan Chun under the Jizhou pastoral tent, Zhang He, the volunteer captain, have seen General Liu!" After the two entered the hall, they saw a handsome young man sitting in the middle, and knew that it must be Liu Yi and Liu Langsheng, so they both stepped forward to salute, after all, they were asking for help, and they were extremely humble in their words.
"Guan Beijia and Captain Zhang have worked hard from afar, but I, Liu Yi, and Lord Han are ministers in the same court, but I have heard the name of Lord Han for a long time, I don't know what to send the two of you to see today?" Looking at the two people in front of him, Guan Chun was dressed as an ordinary scribe, and Zhang He was dressed in a strong suit, tall and burly, looking very strong, and he was a warrior at first sight. Liu Yi waved his hand, and his own attendant came up to arrange a seat for the two, but he asked knowingly!
"Thank you, General Liu, can the general know about Gongsun Zhan's Xingbing Fan in Jizhou? This person is a Hanchen, but he doesn't know how to serve the Son of Heaven, but detains his boss in prison, he is really a disloyal person! This time, there was another riot, and if he wanted to seek the land of Jizhou, Lord Han naturally wanted to be the enemy of him, but Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were brave and brave, but my Jizhou was difficult to be an enemy, so he could only sit and defend Yecheng! I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and the brave martial arts are written in the four seas, and I am the minister of the pillars of the Han family, and the soldiers of the non-general cannot be defeated Gongsun Zhan, I hope that the general will look at the same dynasty as a minister, and Lord Han is loyal to the Han family, and send troops to help, then I will be grateful to the general for his kindness! This Guan Chun is obviously a man of tongue, and between his words, he said that Gongsun Chan was useless and greatly elevated Liu Yi's status, and after speaking, he also took out Han Fu's handwritten letter and handed it to Liu Yi in person, then stood under the hall with his head down, waiting for Liu Yi's reply.
Liu Yi first read Han Fu's handwriting, the letter praised him a lot, the words were sincere, in order to let him send troops to help, Han Fu put his posture very low, and he also generously promised on the issue that Liu Yi cared about the most, all the consumption of this army was borne by Jizhou, and after the fact, there were gold ten thousand two thanks, in order to prevent Liu Yi from being suspicious, if he sent troops, Guan Chun and Zhang He would temporarily listen to the order under his account, faintly a little bit of the meaning of taking him hostage, showing great sincerity.
After reading the letter, Liu Yi's face was unmoved, and his heart was already full of joy, even if Han Fu did not send an envoy to come, he would also send troops to Beiping, but in this way, his trip would become a public consummation; What's more, they can get the help of the two, Guan Chun and Liu Yi will not take it to heart, but Zhang He's temptation is greater, I believe that after the same battle, I will have a better way to make him return to his heart; Liu Yi pretended to be indifferent and handed the letter to Zhang Hu and Xi Zhicai, and said after watching it:
"Don't hide it from the two, the recent foreign races in the frontier have been moving frequently, and there seems to be a Koubian, and today I am discussing with the lord about sending troops, but I didn't expect the two to come at this time; Although this alien race has been defeated by me several times, it is difficult to become a great disaster, but it comes and goes like the wind, if I do not send troops, the state and county will be plundered, this... Zhang Hu said that he was silent here, and his face was embarrassed.
"General Liu, although we have heard the name of the general's town in Jizhou, now Yecheng is in a hurry, please ask the general to take care of it first, if the general sends troops to cause Yanjun to be plundered, all of them should be borne by my Jizhou, and I hope the general will not hesitate to send a large army to attack Beiping!" Looking at Zhang Hu's appearance, Guan Chun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to speak, for fear that Liu Yi would be affected!
"Hey~~ Zicai's words are bad, I am the same Hanchen as Lord Han, and Lord Han has always been loyal to the country, how can I sit idly by now that he is in trouble? This Gongsun Zhan is perverse, and it is already a big crime to privately imprison Lord Liu, and now he is raising troops without authorization, which is really unbearable! I have made up my mind, and I will definitely send troops to help Lord Han, so I don't need to say much, I have my own plans for foreign races! Liu Yi said these words righteously, he and Zhang Hu have been friends for a long time, and the cooperation is seamless, Zhang Hu retreated when he heard the promise, and his face was still unconvinced, which made Liu Yi laugh in his heart.
"The general sees that Lord Han and the people of Jizhou have thanked the general for his kindness!" Hearing Liu Yi's words, Guan Chun's heart just landed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"This is where the righteousness lies, I don't dare to be a thank you for not driving, but it will take time for the soldiers and horses to move, the two of you will take a break for the time being, tonight Liu will set up a banquet for the two to catch the wind, and Liu will definitely send troops to Beiping within three days!" Liu Yi sat down to help each other and said angrily!
"What the general said is right, since he should act according to the general's wishes, he and Jun Yi have thanked General Liu for his hospitality!" When Guan Chun heard this, he also knew that Liu Yi was right, and he was overjoyed when he promised to send troops within three days, so he hurriedly thanked Liu Yi with Zhang He, and Liu Yi was also humble.
While the two thanked each other, Zhang Hu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and they both smiled happily!
