Under the leadership of the county order, all the officers and troops of the Yu clan surrendered collectively. Huang Zhong did not embarrass them, and after checking the account books of the treasury, he just sent people to put them under house arrest in their respective mansions.

As for the people, there is no need to appease them at all. I heard that it was the king of the Central Plains who came, and many bold people came out to see the excitement. Huang Zhong left a large army outside the city and led 3,000 elite horsemen into the city. Seeing the orderly, solemn and majestic army entering the city, the people couldn't help but widen their eyes and couldn't take their eyes off it. Some of them were insightful, so they whispered: "I am also from the Central Plains, when did the army of the imperial court have such might?" ”

Someone said disdainfully: "Stupid, right? Do you know which army this is? Qingzhou Mu Liu Xuande Liu Junhou's army! ”

"It was him! No wonder! ”

And the local natives are even more shocked, is this really our country's army? The people watched from the road, and the crowd was crowded, but the army slowly entered the city at its own pace. The armorers did not squint, and their faces were solemn. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and it seemed to trample on the hearts of the people. Gradually, there was an inexplicable emotion in their hearts, following the sound of snare drums, and the sound of horses' hooves began to wake up and boil. This is our army! This is our army! Dahan has such a strong army, there is still hope! At this time, no one is not proud and excited that they are the people of the big man. Completely forgetting that this army was coming to crusade against their actual ruler, Gongsun Du. However, Gongsun Du established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou, but he was also the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou of the Han Dynasty. Isn't it?

When Huang Zhongxing went to the middle of the street, he saw several local veterans welcoming him one after another. At the beginning, an old man smiled and said: "The old man and the others have not heard the news of the Central Plains for a long time. Today, I heard that the general led the king division from afar, and specially presented local wine, thinking that the general would congratulate, and hoped that the general would not shirk. ”

Huang Zhong stopped the army, turned over and dismounted, went to the old man and saluted with his fists, and said with a smile: "In this case, I have thanked you for your kindness." So he took the wine glass offered by the servant next to him and drank it all. Then he said: "The military affairs are busy, and when the general is set up camp, I will invite all the old men to gather." ”

When the goal of the few people was achieved, they smiled and got out of the way.

Huang Zhong also knew the intention of these people. But he won't say no either. He led his division from afar, not to mention the difficulty of supplying at sea, and he was almost blind to the situation in Liaodong. It is naturally great to have local gentry surrender. If the cooperation is pleasant, he will not hesitate to give some benefits.

Liu Bei has sent troops into Liao, but Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, who had promised to send troops to help, had a sad face. He wasn't bothered by Liu Bei's conquest of Gongsun Du. In this matter, Liu Bei once took the initiative to ask him for advice, and now he has asked for advice. He had nothing to say. Moreover, for an anti-bone boy like Gongsun Du, Liu Yu only wanted him to die immediately. If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't turn around, he would have sent a large army to bulldoze Liaodong by himself.

Liu Yu was annoyed that he had no money on hand.

If you open the map of Youzhou, you will find that Youzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a long strip, from Shanxi to the Korean Peninsula, spanning three provinces and one country in later generations. The result of such a narrow terrain to Youzhou is a long border defense line and huge border pressure. It can be said that from Daijun in the west to Liaodong in the east, there are non-stop battles year after year. The big battles and small battles continued, which brought a huge burden to Youzhou.

Since the Han Dynasty, Youzhou's finances have been in deficit. In other words, the yield of the land will never be enough to cover the expenses it needs. Before, Youzhou was used every year, and it was ordered by the imperial court to be transferred from the three states of Hebei, Yan, and Qingdao. However, since the death of the first emperor and the chaos in the world, the Central Plains has become a pot of porridge, and the states have no time to take care of themselves, so no one cares about Liu Yu's life or death.

In the face of such tremendous pressure, Liu Yu exhausted his brains and vigorously implemented the Huairou policy in Youzhou, intending to entrap foreigners, open the market to them, and trade with each other. While making the foreign tribes profitable, minimize the possibility of them invading Youzhou. Otherwise, as soon as the war starts, not to mention that Youzhou's troops are overstretched, it is said that the money and food of the soldiers and horses will also crush him. Those Qiu Ba, if you dare to owe them money for their lives, they will dare to play with you.

It's a pity that Liu Yu's actions were not understood by the Youzhou military represented by Gongsun Zhan. Making peace with foreigners is an unforgivable act in the hearts of the soldiers of Youzhou. Every year, a large number of Yan Zhao Erlang died tragically under the swords and arrows of foreign tribes, and countless people were ravaged by the iron hooves of foreign tribes every year. A big man, in the face of foreign races, there is no other way but to fight, but to die!

What's more, if the soldiers of Youzhou are no longer fighting, how can they obtain military merits and be promoted? Liu Yu's move of setting up a mutual market and acting in Huairou, even if the blood of Youzhou Erlang was shed in vain, it also cut off the promotion rank of Youzhou soldiers. It can be said that he has committed public anger. But Liu Yu didn't know it, but he just complained that Gongsun Chan and others were reckless and warlike.

didn't know that Gongsun Chan was also pushed to the wall. If Liu Yu represents the interests of the entire people of Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan, as a native of Youzhou, represents the interests of the Youzhou military and some of Youzhou's powerful people. Only by fighting, only by continuing wars, can the children of the military be promoted, and those powerful people in Youzhou can also make a lot of war wealth. Otherwise, the Hu people have gone to the mutual market, and the salt, tea, and cloth can even be exchanged for toilet chips, how can the powerful people hoard Juqi, raise prices, and make a fortune in the middle?

Even if Gongsun Zhan doesn't want to have a bad relationship with his top boss Liu Yu, he can't help but fight with many things. As a result, under the acquiescence of Gongsun Zhan with a blind eye, the Youzhou army began to take the initiative to provoke. robbed the caravans of foreign tribes and the gifts that Liu Yu rewarded them......

The foreigners are also fried, if you want to do it, then do it. So not long after Youzhou was calm, it began to smoke everywhere again. Liu Yu finally accumulated the little money he had accumulated through the mutual market and through the mining of salt and iron ore, and he spent it like a flowing water.

So Liu Yu was very troubled about this. Originally, he planned to send a partial army into Liaoxi, one left and one right, to flank Gongsun Du. When the time comes, the Gongsun will be swept away and Liaodong will be recovered. He is indispensable in the book of military merits. This kind of beautiful errand that can add glory to his face has slipped away like this, how to make Liu Yu not worry and not be in a hurry?

Liu Yu wanted to get angry, but as an official who had been up and down in the sea for many years, he still put the stability and unity of Youzhou first. This is also the reason why he doesn't like Gongsun Chan in his heart, but he can still tolerate him. He decided that as long as Gongsun Chan was not particularly excessive in the future, he would turn a blind eye and forget it.

It's a pity that Liu Yu still doesn't understand Gongsun Zhan. Is this guy not too much? When Liu Yu was worried, Gongsun Zhan was convening the generals in Lingqiu. There is only one theme, and I was fooled by Yuan Shao before, so I put us together. This time, our Youzhou army must take revenge and go back, and be ashamed of the bloody day. Okay, it's not interesting to say that these righteous and awe-inspiring things don't really believe in Gongsun Zhan. The key is that I heard that Jizhou has a good season this year and has a lot of harvest, Gongsun Zhan is red-eyed and plans to rob it.

Please forgive Gongsun Chan. These poor guys, who are so scared that even the nomads have to rob them, have long since fallen out. Youzhou's own territory can't be robbed, the nomads are too poor, too biao, the cost of robbery is too high, and the state is as poor as Youzhou, so who else can you rob except the fat sheep of Jizhou? Just happened to look at Yuan Shao again, it was him!

A few days after the fall of the Yu clan, Gongsun Du, the son of Xiangping City, got the news. Hearing that Liu Bei sent an army across the sea, Gongsun Du, who was in turmoil in his heart, was silent on the surface, and summoned his henchmen Liu Yi, Yang Yi and others and two sons to discuss matters at night.

When everyone first heard that Liu Beijun was coming, they were also shocked. Gongsun Gong couldn't hold his breath the most, and when everyone was still digesting this amazing news, he stood up and said, "My lord, is Liu Bei full of food, he is doing well in Qingzhou, why did he come to our Liaodong for nothing?" ”

Gongsun Kang next to him also looked at his father curiously. Gongsun Du's face was gloomy, and he said: "Liu Bei said that we sent troops to attack Qingzhou before, and we also divided ourselves and stood on our own, not following the king's orders. ”

Gongsun Gong listened to it, and almost didn't mention it in one breath, what is the reason, this is too shameless, right? "My lord, Liu Bei hadn't taken office in Qingzhou when he sent troops to Donglai, right? Besides, it's also us who suffers, crossing the sea to attack Donglai, losing countless soldiers, how can he still be reasonable? As for not following the king's orders, even the Son of Heaven has appeared two, and how many of the princes under the sky are under the king's orders? ”

Gongsun Du sighed, this second son is still too young and naΓ―ve. In the eyes of powerful people, as long as there is a slightly passable excuse to do anything, he cares if you are reasonable or not, is it a loss? "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things, now that everyone has hit the door, is it interesting to talk about these things? Let's talk about it, what should we do next? The war is still surrendering, hurry up and get a charter out. ”

As soon as Gongsun Du's voice fell, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong said in unison: "Can't fall!" ”

The two brothers have fought since childhood, and for the first time in decades, they have a tacit understanding. The two looked at each other, all without saying a word. Gongsun Du said: "Let's hear it!" ”

Gongsun Gong said: "Big brother, you say it first!" ”

Gongsun Kang said: "My lord, there is still a way to survive in the war." If it falls, life and death are all in the thoughts of others. And who killed the deer, it is still unknown! ”

Gongsun Du has long had a plan in his heart, and this time he summoned everyone to discuss the matter, originally to test the ministers. Unexpectedly, the two sons had an opinion before the ministers under his command. So he couldn't help but sigh, looked at Gongsun Kang and said, "Let's hear it, what is an unknown method?" ”

Gongsun Kang said with a smile: "That son will get an axe." The Qingzhou army crossed the sea and came far away, and it was difficult to supply heavy grain and grass, which was also one of them; The adults have been running Liaodong for many years, and the mountains and rivers are well understood, and the Qingzhou military geography is not as good as mine, and this is the second; Its laborers are on an expedition, and I am waiting for work at ease, and this is the third. With these three drawbacks, how can Qingzhou be undefeated? ”
