Chapter 435: Prosperity Must Fall
In the fourth year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, there was a black mountain thief Zhang Yan to plunder the state and county, and the general of Zhenbei Lu Bu personally led a large army to break through Yu County and Wolf Meng, and then sent 100,000 soldiers to recruit it, and the walls of the thieves were broken. Then he fought with the thief Zhang Yan in Luoshi Valley, won it, beheaded it, and beheaded the thief chieftains, such as Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Leigong, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Gengen, etc., and recovered hundreds of thousands of thieves and put them in the state and county.
After sweeping away the Taihang bandits, when Lu Bu led the army back to Jinyang, it was also at the end of October.
No one could have imagined that Lu Bu would really pacify the millions of bandits on the Taihang Mountain Range in just two months. Two months ago, Zhang Yan, who was still invincible, is now also dying in Huangquan.
However, after the news spread after Lu Bu pacified the bandits, everyone from the state to the right and the people with the surname Wan was overjoyed. It is those businessmen who come and go to Jinyang, and there is an endless stream of businessmen, all of whom clap their hands! Without banditry, the state-dignitaries would not have to worry about someone breaking into their estates, plundering their property, and slaughtering their people. The citizens of this state don't have to worry about someone taking their money and food. Those merchants don't have to worry about their goods being robbed halfway through, resulting in bankruptcy.
In a word, this pacification of bandits is in line with people's hearts and morality! It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu was able to easily requisition the strong men of the people of various counties and counties, as well as many powerful private troops, and pull up an army of 100,000. Because that's what people want!
And just when Lu Bu was doing such a career in Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan on the other side of Youzhou also did a big thing. This Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are getting at odds day by day, and finally after the sword soldiers meet. Then Liu Yu entangled the so-called 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, and personally led the troops to conscript.
It is conceivable that Liu Yu, who does not understand military affairs and does not know how to command troops, wants to conquer the famous white horse general. Even Liu Yu's subordinates engaged in Cheng Xu were not optimistic about Liu Yu's behavior and dissuaded him, but he didn't know why, but he let Liu Yu behead him and sacrifice the flag. As a result, no one dared to dissuade them. Then, Liu Yu led an army of 100,000 and went to attack Gongsun Chan with great courage, but this Mujun, who has not led many soldiers and fought many battles, where is the opponent of General Baima?
Even though it is said that during the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there was no distinction between civil and military, and many people were able to unify the army and fight on horseback, and they could govern the country and secure the country when they got off the horse. But this uncle who is the son of heaven, the prince of the dynasty, and the dignified Youzhou Mu Donghai Liu Boan is obviously not such a character. Only then did he engage Gongsun Chan in battle, so that Gongsun Chan attacked at night, set fire to the wind, and returned defeated.
After the big victory, Gongsun Chan would not let Liu Yu go, and took advantage of the situation to pursue, Liu Yu fled to Juyong City, but in less than three days, Gongsun Chan broke through Juyong and captured Liu Yu alive! It stands to reason that this Liu Yu is also Gongsun Zhan's superior, and he is a relative of the Han family, and he is also the prince of the imperial court, so his reputation and status are really not comparable to Gongsun Zhan. According to the two-yuan monarchy system of the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Yu launched an attack first, it would be impossible for Gongsun Zhan to do anything to Liu Yu.
But who knows, it just so happened that at this time, the imperial court in Chang'an actually sent a messenger to prepare to add food to Liu Yu. So this Gongsun Zhan immediately detained the envoy, and then asked the envoy to pretend to be the order of the Son of Heaven, crowned him as a former general, named Yihou, and pretended to be the governor of Youyou and the four states of Jiqing, as if he wanted to become the overlord of the north! That's not all, I can't wait to Gongsun Zhan, and he also framed Liu Yu for having the heart to establish himself as an emperor, and beheaded Liu Yu under the pretense of this messenger's hand! Only then did the messenger return to Chang'an with Liu Yu's head.
I don't know if this messenger has fallen into eight lifetimes of mold in his previous life, and finally escaped from the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and he doesn't know how to return to Chang'an to recover his life. Who knew that on the way, Liu Yu's former official came to snatch Liu Yu's head, and by the way, he also slaughtered this messenger.
The current situation in Youzhou is probably like this.
After Liu Yu's death, Gongsun Zhan was also in charge of the entire Youzhou, and this force was indeed a lot stronger. But at the same time as it seems to be powerful, there are also many hidden dangers! Not to mention anything else, just Liu Yu's old department, as well as Zhuhu, I am afraid that they are all dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan, the white horse general. And even if Gongsun Chan cut Liu Yu this time, the impact is also extremely bad!
First of all, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. In terms of the current two-yuan monarchy system of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu is the lord of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan kills the lord with his ministers, which is disloyalty! As soon as the envoy of the imperial court arrived, Gongsun Zhan couldn't wait to add an official to himself, and killed Liu Yu by the hand of the envoy, which is injustice!
You must know that even when Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, seized Jizhou, he had to make a gesture. At that time, Jizhou Mu Hanfu was still a protégé of his Yuan family.
And more importantly, Han Fu, who let Yuan Shao force him to death, does not have the same identity as Liu Yu! Liu Yu is a member of the Han family, the prince of the dynasty, the shepherd of Youzhou, and the marquis of Xiangben. Not to mention the fame that Liu Yu has won by struggling for most of his body. That's the elder of the four seas, Liu Gong of the East China Sea! Even when Dong Zhuo was in power, he did not forget to seal Liu Yu, and now Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are now in charge of Chang'an, both knew that they would send envoys to seal Liu Yu.
But! Such a person died at the hands of Gongsun Zhan! In this world, how should they view this white horse general?
Boom and bust!
Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh a little! Even though Gongsun Zhan got rid of Liu Boan, who had different political views from him, he ruled Youzhou. But now his situation is not much better than before! When he killed Liu Yu, it was like Lu Bu killing Ding Yuan, and it became a stain that could not be washed away in this life. But the difference is that Lu Bu killed the national thief Dong Zhuo, and he swiped a wave of fame fiercely, with a lot of bonus performance, but what can Gongsun Chan do? At most, you can hack Liu Yu!
But in any case, Liu Yu has indeed made a lot of contributions to the people of Youzhou in terms of internal affairs. If Gongsun Chan can't govern this Youzhou well, I'm afraid that he will completely lose people's hearts.
However, after Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu to unify Youzhou, this situation was still favorable to Lu Bu. At least I'm afraid that Yuan Shao's eyes at this time should be on that Gongsun Zhan's body again.
No matter what aspect it is, Yuan Shao must destroy Gongsun Zan first. Otherwise, when Gongsun Chan becomes stronger, the first one to be destroyed will definitely be his Yuan Benchu!
