。。。

When Liu Yi hadn't gone back, there were also changes in the north.

Gongsun Chan is a man with good looks and rich experience, he has learned from Lu Zhi, a scholar with a louder voice than himself, and has also engaged in government affairs, but compared to those things, the real suitable for him is the blade, especially the blade that thirsts for the blood of the Hu people. In Gongsun Zhan's view, Karasuma, Xianbei and other Hu people were all used by him to establish martial arts; The Hu people also regarded Gongsun Chan as a fierce beast, and used Gongsun Chan's portrait as a target when training archery.

Originally, the imperial court was very satisfied with Gongsun Zan and made him the boss of the Liaodong vassal state, specifically responsible for dispatching the army to fight against the Hu people who invaded the border. Gongsun Chan was naturally happy about this, and when he was crusading against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, he even almost lost his life when he attacked Karasumaqiu Liju, who helped Erzhang. But just when he returned from the half-life breakthrough from the frozen Guanzi City outside the plug, the imperial court parachuted a clan disciple from Jiuqing, Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an of the East China Sea, and made him the pastor of Youzhou, and became Gongsun Zhan's direct boss.

Liu Yu was a first-class figure at that time, not only experienced in political work, but also had high moral character, and like his ancestors, it was not appropriate to be an emperor. This restoration of the pastoral system was originally proposed by Liu Yan, another clan, who was also one of the Nine Qings, but after adopting this proposal, the first candidate for the state pastor that came to the court's mind was Liu Yu, who had both ability and political integrity. As soon as he arrived, he divided Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, so that the Hu people could go back with peace of mind and stop coaxing with the restless Han people. After several years of hard work, the Youzhou area has flourished and educated, and it has become prosperous and stable.

But Gongsun Chan was very unhappy. In order to suppress the rebellion, he almost lost his life, but as soon as Liu Yu came, he put down the rebellion lightly and took all the credit. Moreover, Liu Yu also reduced armaments, and only allowed Gongsun Chan to lead an army of less than 10,000 people, so Gongsun Chan is a pompous figure, he collected 3,000 horses on white horses alone, how can he be satisfied with this mere 10,000 people? He was unhappy and eager for fame, so he wanted to kill Hu people to vent his anger and invite merit, but Liu Yu happened to be a pacifist again, and he had no racial prejudice, and even when Yuan Shao persuaded him to be emperor, he replied to Yuan Shao, "If you tell me this again, I will go to the Xiongnu." Greedy for such a boss of the Han Dynasty who took the initiative to transfer to work on the Xiongnu side since Su Wu, Gongsun Zan had no way at all, so he couldn't hold it back, so he had to sneak to the Hu people's settlement to kill people and set fires. After this civil official and military attache came and went like this, the two of them naturally became inseparable. In order to deny the rationality of Dong Zhuo's regime, Yuan Shao was anxious to find a clan relative with excellent moral character to establish a new imperial court, but this opinion was strongly opposed by Yuan Shu. Originally, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were not very happy because of their backgrounds since they were children, but this time the disagreement finally made the two fall out. Yuan Shao recruited Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao to help, Yuan Shu was certainly not a fuel-efficient lamp, he found Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to stand on his side, these two forces are intricately distributed throughout the Central Plains, and are in a situation of imminent outbreak.

Geographically, Yuan Shu's gang was surrounded by the forces of his brother's faction, so he was desperate to find more allies before the war broke out. At this time, Emperor Xian, who was unwilling to be at the mercy of others, also heard about Liu Yu's loyalty and righteousness of not being the emperor, and he seemed to have found a life-saving straw, so he sent Liu Yu's son Liu He, who was an official in the capital, to go back to move the rescue troops. Liu He just happened to take Nanyang, which made Yuan Shu, who was in charge of Nanyang, see an opportunity to increase reinforcements, because Liu Yu also opposed Yuan Shao's proposal to establish a new monarch. So Yuan Shu detained Liu He and sent a letter to Liu Yu saying: My future general Yuan Shu also has the heart to serve the country, and the rescue of His Majesty is also counted as my share, so you send your elite soldiers to me, and I will use them to rescue Your Majesty.

After Liu Yu read the letter, he immediately prepared to go south. Although he has superb administrative ability, he is much worse in terms of wisdom and offensive warfare, and his staff officer Wei You specially talked to him about these things, and also warned him that he can discuss this kind of thing with Gongsun Zhan. Because this time the army is to be mobilized, Gongsun Zhan, who is in charge of military affairs, naturally has to ask about it, and he is much more detailed. This time, Gongsun Zan said to Liu Yu more responsibly that Yuan Shu was too cunning to be easily fooled.

For a restless subordinate like Gongsun Zhan, it is very rare to be able to make such a suggestion, but Liu Yu did not appreciate it at all, and still set off according to the original plan. Gongsun Zhan not only touched his nose, but also was afraid that Yuan Shu would learn that he had almost ruined his good deeds, so he asked his younger brother Gongsun Yue to take a cavalry to Yuan Shu first, and persuaded Yuan Shu to simply rob Liu Yu's generals. Gongsun Zhan did a bit disgraceful in this matter, you yourself clearly said that Yuan Shu was unreliable, and now you are rushing to cooperate with him, don't you smoke your own mouth? And Yuan Shu originally wanted to rob Liu Yu's generals for his own use, but now he has overfulfilled the task, and he has one more ally who can threaten Yuan Shao's back, so he naturally gladly accepted Gongsun Zhan's proposal.

Gongsun Chan wanted to avenge his younger brother, which was a good excuse to start a war, but Gongsun Chan couldn't start a war against Yuan Shao right away. He was still nominally Liu Yu's subordinate, and although Liu Yu had sternly rejected Yuan Shao's proposal to make him emperor, he was still friendly with Yuan Shao; At the same time, Gongsun Zan was able to mobilize less than 10,000 troops, and it was not enough to fight Yuan Shao. Therefore, although Gongsun Zan was fighting in Panhe at this time, it was just a picture of wanting to settle accounts with Yuan Shao.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao had just annexed Jizhou at that time, and in order to rescue Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi who had been kidnapped, Yuan Shao and the Xiongnu king of Bingzhou turned their faces and fought; In addition, another force entrenched in Bingzhou, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, also had constant friction with Yuan Shao; In addition, Tao Qian of Yuan Shu's faction is also ready to move, and he has to be wary. In this case, if he provokes Gongsun Chan again, Yuan Shaoke will really be embattled.

At this time, the news of Cao Cao's massacre of the people of Xuzhou alarmed the Kwantung counties again. They stopped and watched for a while,

Finally, Yuan Shao couldn't help it, as the Bohai Taishou, Yuan Shao simply came to Li Dai Taozhuang, he gave the seal ribbon of the Bohai Taishou directly to Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Fan, on the one hand, he showed favor to Gongsun Zhan, and calmed the matter, originally Gongsun Yue's death and Yuan were responsible, and now Yuan Shao gave up his base to Gongsun Zhan to win people, which can be regarded as reparation; On the other hand, anyway, Bohai County was ravaged by the Yellow Turban, so it was better to give it to Gongsun Zhan, if they could fight dog-eat-dog, it would be even better.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was also struggling with his brain, how to expand his military strength, and Yuan Shao let Bohai play into his arms. He immediately asked Gongsun Fan to go there to recruit troops, and he himself began to be active. And Gongsun Zhan's results were indeed brilliant, he carried out two raids on the Yellow Turbans in the Bohai Sea, killed tens of thousands of people, intercepted countless baggage, and forced the Yellow Turbans to give up the idea of going to Taihang Mountain to join the Black Mountain army. Gongsun Chan's prestige was greatly enhanced, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro also took the initiative to show goodwill to Gongsun Chan and asked for an alliance.

At this point, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are strong and strong, and there is a strong reinforcement from the Black Mountain Army that can threaten Yuan Shao's flank, and he already has the capital to suppress Yuan Shao. And the brilliant victory just won made him arrogant, and he didn't take Liu Yu in his eyes at all, so Gongsun Zhan simply did not return to his territory, and prepared to cross the river in one fell swoop to compete with Yuan Shao for hegemony in the north. He first published an article against Yuan Shao, listing Yuan Shao's ten major crimes:

First, Yuan Shao could not select talents who were beneficial to the country during his stay in the capital, and it was entirely Yuan Shao's responsibility to invite disasters like Dong Zhuo's.

Second, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Yuan Shao should have rebelled, but he ignored the Son of Heaven and fled back to his territory, which was disloyal.

Third, Yuan Shao was determined to raise troops to resist Dong Zhuo, but he did not notify the elders who were officials in the court at that time, causing Zhu Yuan to die, which is unfilial.

Fourth, Yuan Shao raised the army for two years, but did not achieve any actual results, but instead disturbed the local people and enriched his military and financial resources.

Fifth, Yuan Shaozhi made Han Fu plan to set up a new monarch, and secretly prepared all the gold seals and jade seals, plotting against him.

Sixth, Yuan Shao and Cui Juye colluded with each other to find a good day to attack the prefecture and county together, and there was no minister's norm at all.

Seventh, Yuan Shao not only did not love the meritorious minister Liu Xun, but instead provoked and killed.

Eighth, Yuan Shao asked others for supplies, and if the supplies were not enough, he turned his face and killed people.

Ninth, the righteous son of the Spring and Autumn Period is valued by his mother, how can the son of a cheap concubine like Yuan Shao compete with the later general Yuan Shu.

Tenth, Sun Jian under Yuan Shu was such a hero, just because Yuan Shao sent Zhou Ang to seize Sun Jian's base Yangcheng, so that Sun Jian's army could not continue to eat, and the crusade against Dong Zhuo could not be completed.

These ten major sins, several of which came out of Gongsun Zhan's mouth, are a bit like crows laughing at pigs. First, Gongsun Zhan's efficiency in selecting traitors by himself is obvious to all, but after all, he is not working in Beijing, and the harm caused is smaller; Regarding the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Chan has always agreed with Liu Yu's neutral position, nominally loyal to Dong Zhuo; The most intriguing thing is to say Article 9, Gongsun Chan is also a child born to a cheap concubine, so he was so rough in his early years, and now from his mouth he said the words "The righteous son of the Spring and Autumn Period is more or less self-deprecating to fate". And from these ten crimes, we can also see Gongsun Zhan's accusation of unfair fate, you Yuan Shao have such good conditions, every move can affect the situation in the world, but you Yuan Shao did not do that, you and us people grabbed land and money, so you Yuan Shao, you are not a good thing, you are guilty, Gongsun Chan is with such an emotion to accuse Yuan Shao. For Gongsun Zhan, this is not like an excuse fabricated for a while in order to refute Yuan Shao in righteousness, but a deep-rooted idea in his mind - usually when he sees the children of his beloved people coming to seek officials, he also deliberately puts these people in the most miserable environment, so that they can also taste the taste of starvation and cold. I don't know if Gongsun Zhan's paranoia is related to the good background of his boss Liu Yu.

In this essay issued for revenge, Gongsun Chan certainly did not forget to mention the incident that led to the death of his younger brother in battle, which is Article 10. In his opinion, if Yuan Shao hadn't sent Zhou Ang to capture Yangcheng, Yuan Shu would not have sent Sun Jian and Gongsun Yue to attack Zhou Ang, and Gongsun Yue would not have died. In fact, letting Gongsun Yue be involved in the dispute between the Yuan brothers is the real cause of Gongsun Yue's death, but Gongsun Chan can't see it that way.

Gongsun Zhan led the army south in the winter of the second year of Chuping and stationed troops at the boundary bridge. There, he made all his relatives official, and let them go directly to various places, as if Jizhou was already in his pocket. And because he was afraid of Gongsun Zhan's military might, all the counties and counties in Jizhou were very obedient to him. In this way, Yuan Shao naturally couldn't sit still, he mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers to go north to fight against Gongsun Zhan, and the two armies fought twenty miles south of the boundary bridge.

Among the 20,000 infantry of the Northern Army, 10,000 cavalry were lined up or so, and Gongsun Zhan's most proud white horse righteous servant flashed in the middle. The southern army was more shabby, only sending 800 foot soldiers and more than 1,000 crossbowmen as the vanguard to meet the battle, and tens of thousands of main forces formed a formation in the rear.

The commander of the vanguard of the Southern Army was Lu Yi, who, like the prison army, was originally Han Fu's subordinate. But before Yuan Shao could annex Jizhou, he rebelled against Han Fu and took refuge with Yuan Shao from then on. Before participating in the Battle of Jieqiao, he led his army to fight against the Hun army and saved Zhang Yang, who was kidnapped; After that, he also led troops to fight for Yuan Shao many times, and was a very outstanding general, especially when he stayed in Liangzhou for a long time, learned the methods of fighting the Qiang people, and was an expert in dealing with cavalry.

When Gongsun Zhan's cavalry came to kill, the 800 men of Lu Yi were all hiding under the leather shields and remained motionless. The riders of the Northern Army did not take such a small and timid enemy in their eyes at all, so they planned to simply trample these 800 people with their horses' hooves to frustrate Yuan Shaojun's spirit.

However, the performance of the army at this time is in line with the "cowardice is born in bravery, weak is born in strong" in "Sun Tzu", just imagine, when the ground around him keeps shaking in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the black shadow of the tall cavalry gradually approaches through the misty smoke and dust that permeates the eyes, how many people can still stand still firmly? At this time, the seemingly cowardly actions of those 800 people contained great courage and composure.

As a result, when the cavalry rushed closer, eight hundred men stood up together and shouted in the dust. As for how loud a group of people can shout together like this, Gongsun Chan himself should know best, he himself is a loud voice, and later when he dreamed of "100 floors are not attacked" in Yijing Building, he also specially trained the volume of a group of women, so that their voices could be heard hundreds of steps away. On the battlefield of the boundary bridge at that time, these 800 people were desperately shouting at the moment of life and death, and the war horses that rushed to the front were already frightened. At this time, the thousand strong crossbows behind the eight hundred foot soldiers began to fire, and the frightened war horses and the riders on horseback naturally became live targets, and the cavalry advancing in formation fell in front and collided with each other, and immediately became a mess.

At that time, the cavalry was not fully equipped, and the advantage of cavalry over infantry was mainly in mobility, and also in the impact brought by mobility. Lu Yi's tactics were to eliminate the impact of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry in one fell swoop, what was there to fear about a group of cavalry who had no advantage, eight hundred people picked up their blades and stepped forward to slash and kill, and the main force of Yuan Shao's army was immediately put into the battlefield. Gongsun Zhan's general Yan Gang was captured and killed, and the remnants of the defeated soldiers could not find their way back to the camp.

Lu Yi chased and killed twenty miles in one go, killed Gongsun Zhan's reserve on the boundary bridge, and committed suicide to the camp of the Northern Army, chopping down Gongsun Zhan's Yamen Banner, so far the Southern Army can be said to have won a complete victory. Yuan Shao led the base camp forward for a few miles, and when he saw that Gongsun Chan had been defeated, he relieved his soldiers to chase down the enemy's deserters and make meritorious contributions, and he and a group of staff members were full of triumph to consider how to write a letter to humiliate Gongsun Zhan. For Yuan Shao at that time, Gongsun Chan was really a strong opponent with strong military strength, and it was reasonable to get carried away because of such an easy victory, but he didn't expect a dramatic scene to happen next:

Gongsun Zhan's defeated cavalry bumped into Yuan Shao in the process of fleeing, this team of defeated soldiers was about 2,000 people, and Yuan Shao's side was less than 200 soldiers at that time, so this group of defeated soldiers surrounded Yuan Shao. Fortunately, he had a large halberd by his side who once boasted that he could fight against the White Horse Yicong, and the defeated soldiers did not know that they were now surrounded by the head of the enemy and did not exert all their strength, so Yuan Shao was able to support the rescue of Lu Yi's division. However, when Yuan Shao was besieged, he still showed a little bit of heroism, and when Don't drive Tian Feng to pull him to hide behind the broken wall, he dropped his helmet and shouted: "The big husband is fighting to the death!" At this time, Yuan Shao let us see once again his demeanor when he went out of Luoyang.

The Battle of Jieqiao ended, and although Gongsun Chan was defeated, he was not dampened, so Yuan Shao's side did not take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and for both sides, the struggle for supremacy in the north had just begun.

Friends all know what kind of character Gongsun Chan is, Gongsun Chan is aggressive, shocking the entire Hebei, in this time, the counties and counties of Yizhou have surrendered, Yuan Shao was also very Meng, Yuan Shao in order to have a good relationship with Gongsun Chan and ease the situation, he began to provoke Gongsun Chan's younger brother Gongsun Fan to guard the Bohai Sea, but when Gongsun Fan just arrived in Bohai, he began to defect, Gongsun Chan has been funded by Qingzhou in the past two years, there is no shortage of grain and grass, and the fight is even more unrestrained.

In the process of the war, there is also a particularly interesting thing, that is, Yuan Shao personally led the army to begin to meet Gongsun Zhan, the two armies clashed twenty miles south of the boundary bridge, Gongsun Chan ordered 30,000 infantry, arranged in a square formation, and equipped with 5,000 cavalry at the two wing corners, Yuan Shao used 800 elite soldiers as the vanguard, and the back was covered by 10,000 archers, and he led a large number of infantry behind.

When Gongsun Chan found that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were very few, he began to float, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, mocked two sentences, and led all the soldiers and horses to charge, Yuan Shao's forward soldiers hid behind the shield, until Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was only a few meters away from him and began to attack, and the archers behind began to fire a salvo, Gongsun Chan was blinded at that time, because of the unexpected sudden attack, the whole team was in chaos, whether it was cavalry or infantry, they wanted to flee for their lives, Yuan Shao's elite soldiers became more and more courageous, and in the end, Gongsun Zan lost the battle of the boundary bridge.

After this battle, Gongsun Zhan knew that his old opponent Yuan Shao was a little different, he was very cowardly when he beat him before, and he was willing to be beaten, but now in this situation, he obviously began to resist, or the elite infantry he encountered, and he didn't know what the situation was.

Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, also sent his own troops to help Gongsun Zhan, but was also killed by Yuan Shao's troops, and Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao also formed a bond. This time the war did not cause great losses on both sides, but Gongsun Chan was not so arrogant, after all, people have things to restrain themselves, and they can't be too rampant. Yuan Shao not only eliminated Gongsun Zhan's plan to invade the south, but also greatly wiped out Gongsun Zhan's sharp spirit.

The battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao in the Jieqiao area was not very large-scale, and the after-war impact was not very far-reaching. However, in Yizhou, which is an acre of three-point land, such a situation that is quite peaceful, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, two powerful forces, have really started to fight for territory, which has made great changes in the situation in the north.

However, this is not the reason for the great changes in the north, General Gongsun Chan is jealous and hateful, how can he be instigated by such a great grievance, so he launched another war.

The Battle of Jieqiao ended with Yuan Shao's victory, forcing Gongsun Chan to retreat to Youzhou, but the battle losses of both sides in the Battle of Jieqiao were not too large, and Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao each dispatched troops to accumulate strength and prepare for another duel.

Yuan Shao, who won the battle of Jieqiao, occupied the initiative of the scene, and took advantage of the opportunity of Gongsun Zan being forced to retreat, and sent his troops Cui Juye to lead his troops into Youzhou to besiege the Gu'an County occupied by Gongsun Zan County, but he could not attack it for a long time, and when he retreated, he was pursued by 30,000 people sent by Gongsun Zan to break Yuan Shao's army in Juma Shui, killing seven or eight thousand people.

This is the Battle of the Giant Horse Water.

The victory in the Battle of Juma Water made Gongsun Zan once again see the hope of killing Yuan Shao, and took advantage of the defeat and chaos of the Jizhou army to pursue and wave his army south. Gongsun Zhan's troops regained the Bohai Sea with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, invaded the plains, and fought until the Yellow River, Yuan Shaocai regrouped his army, and began an unprecedented battle with Gongsun Zhan in Longcuo City, which was close to the crossing of the ancient Yellow River.

Since the war between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, the armies of the two sides have come and gone, sometimes Gongsun Chan overwhelms Yuan Shao, and sometimes Yuan Shao overwhelms Gongsun Chan.

The Battle of the Boundary Bridge was the same.

The Battle of the Giant Horse Water is like this.

Gongsun Chan felt that it was not possible to fight like this, it was not stable at all, so he thought of the Montenegrin Army, the Montenegrin Army and Gongsun Chan were colluding, and Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, had sent his subordinate Du Chang to directly help Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fight for Jizhou, which shows that the alliance between them has always been relatively reliable.

The Battle of Jieqiao ended with Gongsun Chan's hasty retreat, giving the impression that Gongsun Chan's army was particularly bad at fighting tough battles. Indeed, historically, judging from the performance of Yuan Shao's gradual annexation later, Gongsun Zhan's army was indeed not highly motivated, but that was after Gongsun Zhan built the Yijing Fortress and gradually lost his heroic ambition. did not send reinforcements to the besieged subordinates, and found a group of high-voiced women to convey their various instructions, gradually alienating the staff and generals, and Gongsun Zhan's perverse actions have gradually disintegrated the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army under his command. In the early peace years, there were no such problems in Gongsun Zhan's army, and they would never collapse at the first touch.

The battle of Jieqiao was defeated, Gongsun Zan was very unwilling, although the loss was not large, but it made Yuan Shao, a little deflated calf, proud, that was not good, so he planned a battle with the Black Mountain Army. This battle was a frontal feint to attract Yuan Shao's entire army to the north, so that the Montenegrin army could better operate behind Yuan Shao.

In layman's terms, that is, Gongsun Chan carried it in front and asked the Montenegrin army to steal his hometown.

Then create an opportunity for Gongsun Zhan, concentrate his forces to give Yuan Shao a fatal blow, and lay down the hegemony of the north in one fell swoop - the destruction behind the Montenegrin army is only a small fight in the final analysis, and what can really completely eliminate Yuan Shao still depends on Gongsun Zhan's strong force.

Yuan Shaojun and Gongsun Zhan's army faced off in Longcuo, both armies suffered heavy losses, and Gongsun Zhan was at a disadvantage, but due to the mobility of the cavalry, neither of the two could help anyone, and they could be regarded as equal. When the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, Yuan Shao's backyard caught fire, and there were rebels in Wei County who colluded with the Montenegrin Army to rebel against Yu Poison, captured Yecheng, and the old nest of state governance was captured.

Yuan Shao retreated in a hurry, but the Beiping army did not hold on.

It's not that Gongsun Chan missed the opportunity, but the conditions don't allow it.

After the Battle of Juma Water, Gongsun Zhan attacked the victorious army to the south, entered the Bohai Sea of Jizhou from Youzhou, and continued to move south after recovering the Bohai Sea. Long is in the plain, the plain belongs to the territory of Qingzhou, the Beiping army from Youzhou to Jizhou, and then to Qingzhou, the soldiers have shown fatigue, because the front line and Youzhou base camp are too far away, the supply of grain and grass is gradually tight, the Beiping army urgently needs to rest and transport grain and grass. On the other hand, although Yuan Shao retreated, he left an elite army to confront the Beiping army.

After the Battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Zhan's forces should have completely retreated to Youzhou, but Gongsun Chan didn't, and he was still unwilling.

In fact, Gongsun Zhan's harvest was far more than just Bohai County, but also included most of the territory of Qingzhou Plain County, occupying all the eastern part of the plain, and his sphere of influence reached the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Not only did Gongsun Chan gain more land and population, but there were many more, such as Gongsun Chan regaining the strategic initiative.

Youzhou-Bohai County-Pingyuan County, connected from north to south, is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, plus Yuan Shao's lair was captured by the Montenegrin army, and the strategic initiative is on Gongsun Zhan's side. According to the current situation, Gongsun Chan formed a flanking attack on Yuan Shao in the north and east.

However, Gongsun Chan is floating again, the last time he was defeated by Ju Yi, he was really unwilling, this time only Ju Yi stayed, the other party's troops were less than 10,000, and he was ready to use Bai Ma Yi to kill him, and he was ashamed.

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Gongsun Chan was defeated again, the defeat was very miserable, and he was chased and killed by the army led by Ju Yi all the way for fifty kilometers, with heavy losses, and the infantry was almost wiped out, only the cavalry escaped.

Ju Yi is a master of the cavalry, Yuan Shao specially dug it up to deal with Gongsun Zhan, how could he make Gongsun Zhan turn over.

No matter what the truth is, in the end, Gongsun Chan and Zhang Yan failed, whether it was in the Battle of Jieqiao or the Battle of Longcuo, Gongsun Chan failed to defeat Yuan Shao, and although the Montenegrin army took advantage of the chaos to capture Yecheng, it could not resist Yuan Shao's counterattack because it could not get the support of Gongsun Zhan. In the end, Gongsun Chan was defeated and fled, and finally ceased war with each other. And the fight between the two sides did not end there, it was just a pause.

Judging from the strategic environment of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao is surrounded by strong enemies, this also means that there are more development directions for him to choose from. Moreover, Yuan Shao's diplomatic strategy is to make friends from afar and attack closely, and the Liu Yu and Karasuma he befriended can contain Gongsun Zhan, and Zhang Yang can contain the Black Mountain Army. And if Gongsun Chan wants to enter the Central Plains, he can only go south through Jizhou or Qingzhou, but Qingzhou is the base camp of his old brother Liu Bei, and he can't go to the strong. In this case, if Gongsun Chan wants to survive, he can only keep fighting a war of attrition with Yuan Shao, slow down the pace of Yuan Shao's development and expansion, and at the same time improve the relationship with Liu Yu and Karasuma to ensure the stability of his rear.

But Gongsun Chan failed to change his diplomatic situation in the end, but gave up the idea of going south and waited for Yuan Shao to grow and grow step by step.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao, although he has always wanted to completely wipe out his old rival Gongsun Zhan, who has been fighting vicious battles with him for three or four years. But in the face of Gongsun Chan, who went back and shrank up, he couldn't speak, and he was also greatly injured, and he couldn't give Gongsun Chan a fatal blow for a long time, and he was very impatient. So, Yuan Shao, who was above the top, asked his royal literati Chen Lin to write a long letter of persuasion to Gongsun Zhan.

In the letter, Yuan Shaoxian recalled the friendship between himself and Gongsun Chan from the time they fought against Han Fu together, and then solemnly condemned Gongsun Chan's betrayal of him, and actually leaned on Yuan Shu to lead the army to attack his own territory. Yuan Shao pointed out that Gongsun Chan was seeking his own death, and he was simply involved in the boundless war of the vast number of Youji people. Yuan Shao claimed that in order to stop Gongsun Zhan's various atrocities, he was forced to fight at the boundary bridge. As a result, relying on the favor of God, Yuan Shao won more with less, and broke Gongsun Zhan. Subsequently, Gongsun Zhan did not change his dead nature again and again, and Yuan Shao had to defeat the enemy army in Longcuo and other places. Yuan Shao said that his army was tired of endless wars and deaths, and that he was saddened by the innocent slaughter of his subjects.

Yuan Shao thought that Gongsun Zhan had betrayed his relatives, and Wuhuan and Xianbei people were watching from the sidelines. And himself, has exploded the Montenegrin army into scum, Yuan Shao's current goal is the whole world, to create a peaceful and prosperous era, to crusade against rebellion, to surrender the princes is his business, Gongsun Zhan to continue to support the army and self-respect is not allowed by him.

When he was at his strongest, Gongsun Chan couldn't defeat him, and now that the strength and weakness are reversed, it is even easier for him to take down Gongsun Chan. However, he Yuan Shao has the virtue of a good life, and he naturally likes peace, and he doesn't want to see senseless bloodshed anymore. Therefore, Yuan Shao planned to give Gongsun Zhan a chance and persuade him to stop the precipice as soon as possible.

Gongsun Zhan took a blind attitude towards Yuan Shao, and continued to implement his own turtle shrinkage tactics, mainly there is another layer of consideration, next to him is the old brother Liu Bei, how can you still eliminate me?

Yuan Shao, who has always been pampered, was half angry by Gongsun Zhan's appearance that he was not afraid of boiling water, and he had no suitable commander under him, and he was hesitating to go to Youzhou.

However, after thinking about it, Yuan Shao still decided to extend his minions to the far north of the long-coveted Han Dynasty. In this land, there were three main forces at that time, from east to west: Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Wuhuan of the Five Counties, Liu Yu and other local heroes in Youzhou.

Gongsun Du's Liaodong is located in a corner, like a paradise-like existence, and will not be involved in the chaos of the world for a long time before and after. The other two forces have become the targets of Yuan Shao's long-term wooing.

Let's talk about the Wuhuan situation first, the Wuhuan that moved to the Great Wall in the late Han Dynasty were mainly distributed in the five counties of Youzhou. After the death of Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, because his son Lou Ban was too young, he temporarily passed the position of the leader to his nephew Badun, in addition to the direct Liaoxi County, Wuhuan other departments Shanggu County Nanlou, Liaodong vassal Su Muyan, and Youbeiping County Wuyan The three kings all obeyed his dispatch.

Badun is not an ordinary character, Wu Huan is in his hands and has a close attack, taking advantage of the decline of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan successively, and the Han Dynasty whip is beyond the reach of the whip, the devil's claws go deep into the hinterland of Youzhou within the Great Wall. The Dun sent Su Muyan to join the anti-Gongsun Zan coalition promoted by Yuan Shao, and the main body Wuhuan set a policy of uniting Jizhou and encroaching on Youzhou. Badun first asked Yuan Shao for goodwill, and in short, he operated a lot.

Yuan Shao did not treat Badun and other Wuhuan leaders badly. In the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, he enshrined the Badun, Nanlou, Sumuyan, and Wuyan as Shan Yu, and presented them with gorgeous frames and infinite scenery. In return, Bun Dun and the others accepted Yuan Shao's adaptation and handed over Wuhuan's elite cavalry to the Yuan clan's commander.

Another important component of the anti-Gongsun Zan coalition was Liu Yu's subordinate Xian Yufu, and Yan Rou and others, who were not very old and capable. Compared with Wu Huan's one-sided attitude, the political IQ of these people is obviously higher, and they wait for the price to sell, with the attitude that whoever gives more benefits will be the younger brother.

Xian Yufu swaggered to become Yuyang Taishou, and here he met a person, a person who Liu Bei wanted to get but didn't get, a person who changed the situation in Youzhou with three words, and a person who will dominate Youzhou for decades in the future - Tian Yu Tian Guorang.

As early as when Liu Bei was depressed and took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu, who had just turned twenty, cherished him. Liu Bei is worthy of being a discerning person, and entrusted Tian Yu with a heavy responsibility, ready to take him south to wander the world. "My parents are here, not far away." It's a pity that Tian Yu later said goodbye to Liu Bei in tears because of the relationship between his mother at home and returned to his hometown Yuyang. When parting, Liu Bei said to Tian Yu bitterly: "I just hate that I can't make a big deal with you!" ”

But that's all for later.
