Gongsun Zan led an army of 30,000 to first take all the counties in Liaodong County one by one, although Gongsun Du was still in Xiangping at this time, but because it was surrounded by regiments, it could not form a strong control over the next county!

In Liaodong County, wherever Gongsun Zan went, all counties defected one after another, and after Tian Chou arranged all the government affairs of Liaodong's vassal states, he also rushed to Liaodong.

The counties in Liaodong under Gongsun Zan have also been taken over by Tian Chou one by one, and effective governance has been formed! A month later, the entire Liaodong County, except for Xiangping County, was taken by Gongsun Zhan!

Then, Gongsun Zhan worked non-stop, and in less than three months, he captured Lelang County and Xuansu County!

Although there are still some guards in Lelang County and Xuansu County, there are not many of them, and they are very scattered. Therefore, wherever Gongsun Chan went, the counties surrendered one after another.

Moreover, the guards of each county were also replaced by Gongsun Zhan, leaving the soldiers who followed to garrison each county, and scattering the soldiers of each county into his own army!

Therefore, after less than half a year, Gongsun Chan conquered all the territory of Gongsun Du except Xiangping City!

When Gongsun Zhan returned to Xiangping City again, he sent an envoy into the city to recruit Gongsun Du.

And in Xiangping City, due to the consumption that lasted for four or five months, the food has become less and less, and Gongsun Du's several attempts to break through the city have been re-beaten by Liu Zheng!

Gongsun Du was reluctant to accept Gongsun Zhan's surrender, but Gongsun Du's generals Yang Yi and Liu Yi learned that Liu Zheng had already been born in Gongsun Zhan, and the grudge between Liu Zheng and Gongsun Du Yang Yi and Liu Yi also knew.

Moreover, there was almost no suspense in the battle of Xiangping, so he found an opportunity to kill Gongsun Du's family, and then opened the city gate to dedicate Xiangping City to Gongsun Zhan!

In this regard, Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, and then appointed Yang Yi and Liu Yi to lead 20,000 troops each to garrison Dai County and Zhuo County respectively.

For the head of Gongsun Du's family, Gongsun Zhan handed it over to Liu Zheng to deal with. However, when Liu Zheng learned that Yangyi had killed Gongsun Du, he was neither happy nor sad, and then ordered someone to bury Gongsun Du's family!

So far, Gongsun Zhan has won the entire eleven counties of Youzhou, and there are nearly 250,000 soldiers under his command! There are several generals and ministers, and they can be regarded as full of talents!

Tian Chou and Liu Zheng saw that Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou had become a trend, so they went around recruiting talents for Gongsun Chan and recommending celebrities! Therefore, all the scholars who had avoided the disaster in Liaodong followed Gongsun Zan to go out, and Bing Yuan was among them!

After Liu Bei learned that Gongsun Chan had won the entire eleven counties of Youzhou, he sent an envoy to Jixian County to congratulate Gongsun Zhan, and asked the envoy to bring a handwritten letter to Gongsun Zhan!

Two months later, the envoy arrived in Jixian County, and for two days, Gongsun Zan summoned Bing Yuan, Tian Chou, Liu Zheng and others to discuss important matters!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the entire Youzhou has been under our rule, and the governance and arrangement of Lai Zi Taihe, Genju (Bing Yuan's character) has entered the post-war reconstruction, and more importantly, the people have returned to me. Therefore, I call you today to discuss the way forward! Gongsun Chan said!

"Now that the lord has conquered Youzhou, he should first ensure the peace of the people in Youzhou, and then adopt a soft policy for Karasuma and other Dongyi ethnic minorities to stabilize Youzhou!" Tian Chou opened his mouth to suggest that this policy is also the policy program of Liu Yu during his lifetime!

"That's true, for Karasuma and other Dongyi ethnic minorities, Huairou should be the mainstay, as long as you submit to my rule, I will not fight against each other, but if you dare to rebel against my Youzhou, I will definitely send troops to fight against it!

Moreover, these are all internal strategies, but externally, what should we aim for in the future? Gongsun Chan said!

"Lord, now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the princes are attacking each other, and the only neighbors adjacent to the land of the lord are Yuan Shao's Jizhou and Merge Prefecture! Moreover, the lord and Yuan Shao have a grudge against their brother, so the lord can only set the direction in the Central Plains and compete with Yuan Shao for the land of Hebei! Bing Yuan said!

"Well, the day before yesterday, I received a handwritten letter from my junior brother Liu Bei, the capital of the Western Regions, and my junior brother Xuande suggested me in the letter.

After Youzhou, he should not compete with Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao commanded countless generals and ministers, and refused to defend the land of Jizhou, and won the land of the people bravely annexed to the state, there was no shortage of war horses, no shortage of soldiers, no shortage of grain and grass.

Therefore, Xuande explained that if I fought with Yuan Shao, I would lose more and win less, so it was better to make friends with Yuan Shao, and then go east to Goguryeo, and north to Karasuma, Xianbei, and Fuyu. Expand the depth of our strategy in this way and enhance the strength of Youzhou!

And although Tian Kai is the history of Qingzhou at this time, there is only one county, and it is not bordering Youzhou. Xuande suggested that I exchange the land occupied by Tian Kai in Qingzhou for grain and grass and Tian Kai with Yuan Shao, and then go north under his command!

After Yuan Shao won the three states of Qingqing, Merge and Hebei, I should form an alliance with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao, so that I may be able to take the land of Jizhou. Even if it doesn't work, you can hold Youzhou! Gongsun Chan slowly informed everyone of the content in Liu Bei's letter!

And everyone was stunned when they heard Gongsun Zhan's words, and they didn't understand what Liu Bei's purpose was! Therefore, the entire hall was quiet for a long time, and finally Tian Chou spoke!

"Lord, Liu Duhu's strategy is indeed a good strategy, Yuan Shao is powerful at this time, if he fights with Yuan Shao at this time, then Henan Cao Cao will sit big, when Yuan Shao and the lord are both defeated, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, and he will be able to occupy the four states of Qingdao, Hebei, and Youzhou in one go. This is also what Liu Bei absolutely does not want to see!

At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao confronted the Tiger Prison Pass, and Liu Bei built a new pass at the moment to resist Cao Cao's invasion of the Sili Lieutenant Department. At the same time, Liu Bei was also stuck in Sili and Liangzhou and other places, and he couldn't go in and out!

Therefore, Liu Bei should be afraid of Cao Cao sitting big, so in order to prevent Cao Cao from sitting big, Liu Bei will suggest that the lord do this! ”

"Well, indeed, Liu Bei's plan is not difficult to scrutinize, and it is also extremely beneficial to the lord! It's just that he will definitely have a fierce battle with Cao Cao or Liu Bei! Bing Yuan also spoke!

"This is also helpless, but since it is beneficial to me, I will follow the advice of my junior brother! Also, Xuande also explained in the letter that Xi Zhong is willing to carry out maritime trade with me, whether it is cloth, grain and grass, salt, etc., he is willing to trade with me to help me resist Yuan Shao, but I hope that I will trade war horses and iron ore with me, what do you think of this matter? Gongsun Zan said again!

"Oh, Liu Bei actually said this matter for Jiaozhou Xizhong, it seems that Liu Bei has a good relationship with Xizhong!" Tian Chou said with some surprise!

However, what Liu Bei said is also of great benefit to the lord, Xianbei and Karasuma are rich in war horses, and there is no shortage of iron ore in Liaodong. But cloth, silk, tea, grain, etc. are particularly lacking, if you can trade with Xizhong, Youzhou will be able to rule, so the victory rate against Yuan Shao can be increased by two points! Bingyuan nodded and said!

While Bing Yuan was speaking, Tian Chou was surprisingly quiet, motionless in his position, leaving only two eyeballs snoring and turning, but the more Tian Chou's eyes turned, the more ugly his face became, and finally he looked at the people seated, shook his head and didn't speak!

"Since this is the case, everything will be done according to this discussion, but one person needs to be sent to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Xi Zhong!" Gongsun Chan opened his mouth and said!!

"Lord, I am willing to make an envoy for the lord!" As soon as Tian Chou heard this, he opened his mouth and said!

Then, Gongsun Zan ordered Tian Chou to send envoys to Xi Zhong, and Bing Yuan to envoy Yuan Shao and Liu Bei!
