Chapter 42: Liu Yu dies
After breakfast, Gongsun Ji led people to storm the east gate, Liu Yu's general Xian Yuyin, seeing that the east gate was almost unbearable, and seeing that there were not many soldiers and horses attacking the north gate, he transferred a thousand soldiers who were originally guarding the north gate.
Gongsun Zhan saw that the defenders of the north gate were decreasing, and suddenly ordered all the soldiers at the north gate to attack the city. He took a knife with his own guards and personally attacked the city, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased when they saw that the lord personally attacked the city, and after a while, there were more and more Gongsun troops on the north city wall.
The north city was lost, the soldiers hurriedly went down the city wall to open the north gate, the north gate was opened, the cavalry who was ambushed not far from the city charged, after a while, the cavalry entered the city, Jixian was lost, and the cavalry slaughtered the infantry in the city.
Tian Chou saw that the northern city was lost, led the troops down the city wall, and Xian Yuyin wanted to save Liu Yu to break through together, but Gongsun Chan and the cavalry had already surrounded the state pastor's mansion, Gongsun Zan ordered people to crash open the door of the mansion, and the chickens and dogs jumped inside, only to see Liu Yu sitting on the main seat of the hall of the state pastor's mansion trembling all over his body and pretending to be forced.
Gongsun Zan went up with a knife and cut off Liu Yu's head, Tian Yu shouted: The lord can't, it's a pity that it's late, Liu Yu's head hit the ground, and blood sprayed several meters high on his neck. Tian Yudao: Why is the lord so anxious?
Gongsun Zhan said: This old thief wanted to kill him a long time ago, and he was in a certain position, and the first emperor guarded me everywhere when he was there. If you don't kill, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart. Ay! Tian Yudao: Liu Yu's death is not a pity, but he is a relative of the Han family, although the world is in chaos today, but the people of the world are committed to the Han family, how can the lord be controlled by others if he wants to achieve great things?
Dong Zhuo is brutal and unreasonable, can the lord see that he kills the clan? At this point, the lord said to the public that Liu Yucheng committed suicide. Gongsun Chan nodded. Then he ordered Liu Yu's mansion to be slaughtered.
Tian Chou, Xian Yuyin, Yan Rou, saw that the state pastoral mansion was broken, could only break through to the south of the city, and finally fled to Jizhou with only 300 men and horses, after Gongsun Zhan besieged the city, there were nearly 30,000 horses in the city, continuous battles, thousands of deaths, some escaped, and now there are nearly 20,000 people, all of whom were captured, Gongsun let them surrender, under the leadership of Liu Yu Wenchen Qi Zhou, Wei You all surrendered.
Gongsun Chan opened the treasury, but there was not much food, and there was still no stock in the continuous war, so Gongsun Chan had to let Gongsun Chan send troops to rob several large families to replenish military rations. When Zhang Jie's army had just arrived in Zhending, the news came, Jixian County was broken, and Liu Yu was killed.
Gongsun Chan said to the outside world that Liu Yu committed suicide, but is there a way to commit suicide by cutting off his own head? How? Fools know it's impossible. Zhang Jie then ordered a quick march to Jixian County, and at this time, Gongsun Zhan's envoy came to Qingzhou, Qi County, Linzi City (now Zibo, Shandong) to see Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has now occupied Jinan, Le'an, Qi County, and other places in Qingzhou, and also occupies part of Taishan County in Yanzhou, and is about to take Beihai Donglai and other places to occupy Qingzhou.
Qingzhou is the entrenchment of the Warring States Qi State, (most of the later Shandong Province) The reason why Yuan Shao has not taken Beihai is because he has not found an excuse, Yuan Shao is not Gongsun Zhan, and he is famous as a lecturer. And there is a big bull in Beihai Country (County), and ordinary people really dare not move.
He is the descendant of Confucius Kong Zhongni, Kong Rong, Kong Wenju, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism. pushed Kong Lao Er to a new height, and all the scholars in the world are called Confucians, and even the emperor is not far away. If it weren't for the troubled times, the emperor wouldn't dare to touch Kong Rong.
Yuan Shao is the same, he also has concerns, it is easy to punch holes, but his reputation is gone, and people in the world are not allowed to scold to death, so Yuan Shao's idea is similar to Zhang Jie's treatment of Liu Yu.
Zhang Jie borrowed Gongsun Chan to kill Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao borrowed the Yellow Turban, I heard that the Yellow Turban Guan Hai and fought Beihai, Yuan Shao was so happy that he couldn't wait to lend him soldiers, but he couldn't wait to bite the gold halfway, it turned out that Liu Bei was uncomfortable in Gongsun Zhan, he was a hero and didn't want to be Gongsun Zhan's subordinate, and he had always borrowed Gongsun Zhan's territory to raise soldiers. Gongsun Chan is so willing for the sake of his classmates. If it had been someone else, he would have been killed.
I don't know how Liu Bei knew that there were yellow turbans attacking in Beihai, Qingzhou, so his mind came up, he and Kong Rong knew each other when they were begging Dong, and they also knew that Kong Rong had no generals. He also wants to have a dove to occupy the magpie's nest. Historically, Xuzhou did just that.
Now Yuan Shao has more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there were nearly 30,000 originally brought over in the plains, and then another 30,000 were recruited in Qingzhou. But I heard that Liu Bei helped Kong Rong beat away the yellow scarf, and Yuan Shao scolded the big-eared thief for ruining his good deeds, just like seeing a beautiful woman stripped naked and standing in front of you, and suddenly someone snatched it away.
Yuan Shao was getting angry, when someone reported that the envoy of Gongsun Zan had arrived. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan are not like in history, and now they have the same enemy, Zhang Jie. So let the messenger in at once. Shan Jingdao: Meet Ming Gong, Yuan Shaodao: I don't know what Gongsun Bogui asked you to come to?
Shan Jingdao: Zhang Jie's main force is now attacking Youzhou, and my lord asked Ming Gong to send troops to attack Jizhou, oh, there is such a thing? Yes, when he came down, Zhang Jie had already led his troops to Changshan.
Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "Please go to rest and think about it first." After Shan Jing left, Yuan Shao called, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xing Ping, and others to discuss.
Yuan Shaodao: I just got the news that Zhang Mingjiao was in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan sent a messenger to ask us to send troops to Jizhou. Tell me, are we going to send troops?
Xu You was in charge of the intelligence, and said: My lord, I just got the news that Gongsun Zhan is attacking Liu Yu, and Zhang Youzhou should be Liu Yu asking Zhang Jie for help.
So what if we don't send troops? Guo Tudao: The lord thinks that our family should not send troops, the reason is very simple, we are about to attack Beihai now, if we divide our troops to attack Jizhou, it is useless to have fewer soldiers, and if we go more, we will not have the strength to fight Beihai, and we must guard against Cao Cao's attack on Mount Tai, our troops are not enough. We should first take Beihai and take the whole of Qingzhou, and then look at the situation, whether to take Xuzhou or Jizhou first.
Feng Jidao: The Lord Gongji thought that he was still going to attack Jizhou, and now Liu Yu may be destroyed, if Gongsun Chan is eliminated by Zhang Jie again, then we will be in trouble, Zhang Jie killed Gongsun Chan The next step is to go south, so we can't let Zhang Jie destroy Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Shao felt justified and asked: Ziyuan, tell me.
Xu You thought for a while and said: What Yuan Tu said is not entirely right, Zhang Jie went north to fight Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan should not be able to beat Zhang Jie, but it is unlikely that Zhang Jie wants to destroy Gongsun Zhan, at most, Zhang Jie will drive away Gongsun Chan and occupy the original Liu Yu's territory.
And even if Zhang Jie kills Gongsun Zhan, it is impossible to go south to fight us, Zhang Jie will take the annex state first, even if he takes the annexed state, there are also Wuhuan, Xiongnu, etc., without getting rid of these northern threats, Zhang Jie will not go south, even if he goes south, it will not be our Qingzhou, it should be Yanzhou. So the lord doesn't have to worry about Zhang Jie coming to attack us, I'm sure that Zhang Jie won't be able to go south in five years.
Although Xu You's character is not very good, his intelligence is still quite awesome, Zhang Jie is actually like this, how can Gongsun Chan be so easy to destroy, the history of Yuan Shao fought for nearly ten years before it was destroyed. Yuan Shao asked again, then can we still send troops?
Xu Youdao: Send troops, but not to attack Jizhou, but to help Gongsun Zan delay time. What is it? Xu Youdao: Zhang Jie has recruited 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard in the plain, this time Zhang Jie did not transfer the recruitment department to the north, which shows that Zhang Jie has been guarding against us, with our troops, it is unlikely that the lord wants to capture Jizhou, because there are 10,000 horses of Wang Zhi in Bohai, so there are 20,000 horses, and it is too difficult for us to attack the city of 20,000 people.
Even if it is a plain guarded by 10,000 people, it is difficult, and the battle of Liyang is also guarded by this recruitment, there were only 5,000 defenders at that time, and we have 30,000, and the final result is not to be said. Therefore, if we want to rush into Jizhou quickly with Zhang Jie in Youzhou, it is unlikely, but if it is slow, Zhang Jie will definitely transfer troops to help, and we will be busy again.
Instead of working in vain in the end, it is better to only send 20,000 horses to Jizhou, without contacting the lead, and let's focus on those cities that are not heavily guarded. As soon as he came to relieve the pressure on Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Jie heard that the lord would withdraw his troops in Youzhou, so he helped Gongsun Zhan. Second, if you conquer some cities, you can also get some money and food. But you can only rob the treasury of the official warehouse, and you must not rob the people, if you rob the people, it will be difficult for the lord to attack Jizhou in the future!
