It is naturally impossible for Gongsun Chan to kill Liu Yu, after all, seizing power is already a very risky thing, once discovered, he Gongsun Chan will definitely become the target of public criticism, let alone kill Liu Yu.

After all, his Gongsun Zan is not Yuan Shao, and he does not have the high prestige of the Yuan family and the help of many protégés and former officials. Even, Liu Yu still handles state and county affairs as usual, but Gongsun Ji is his deputy, and his name is auxiliary to surveillance. At the same time, the guards in Liu Yu's mansion were all replaced by Gongsun Zhan's people, and his wife and children were always under the surveillance of Gongsun Zhan.

And Tian Chou and others, under the persuasion of Liu Yu and the fact that their family members were imprisoned by Gongsun Zhan, finally chose to surrender. Of course, it is not known whether he really surrendered or intended to endure for the time being.

Subsequently, in the name of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan presented himself as a former general, and wantonly divided his own command, Gongsun Yue was the county guard of Hejian County, Gongsun Fan was the county guard of Zhuo County, and Shan Jing was the county guard of Yuyang County...... And he himself also took a position as the county warden of Guangyang County. Obviously, Gongsun Chan wanted to use this to completely control the counties, so as not to catch fire in his backyard while he was fighting Yuan Shao.

However, because of this, Gongsun Chan did not raise troops to attack Jizhou. Perhaps he also understands that if he does something that is inconsistent with Liu Yu's administration, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

On the other side, in order to strengthen the offensive against Qingzhou, Yuan Shao continued to recruit troops from Bohai County to support Leling, although it was not as exaggerated as Gongsun Zhan, but it also caused some people to be dissatisfied.

"Lord, my subordinates think that everything that is happening now is because of that Gongsun Zhan, and if the lord concentrates his forces on counterattacking that Gongsun Zhan, he will definitely be able to defeat that Gongsun Chan easily. At that time, the lord sent another eloquent person to Youzhou to explain the misunderstanding about Jizhou to Liu Youzhou, and his subordinates felt that Liu Youzhou would definitely agree to negotiate peace with the lord. And as long as Liu Youzhou and the lord negotiate peace, then Liu Qingzhou and Li Bingzhou will definitely not continue to be enemies of the lord. Xun Yu said respectfully.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's brows suddenly furrowed, but he didn't answer immediately, but after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "Although Wen Ruo's method is good, if our army turns to attack Gongsun Zhan, how can Qingzhou resist it?" That Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan are classmates and friends, and they must not give up the war easily. ”

After a pause, Yuan Shao said again, "Besides, our army has lost countless soldiers under Leling City, how can we say that we can retreat?" ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu still wanted to say something, but saw that Yuan Shao waved his hand, and said with a flickering eye, "I understand Wen Ruo's meaning, but the reason why the previous crusade against Dong Thief failed was because everyone was suspicious. So I think that if you can't strengthen yourself, it is nonsense to crusade against Dong Thief Kuang Fu Han Dynasty. ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Xun Yu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything. With a sigh, Xun Yu arched his hand and turned his head and left.

After a while, Xun Yan walked into the tent, and said to Yuan Shao with a somewhat helpless face, "Lord, Wen Ruotuo's subordinates ask for resignation from the lord. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face did not show a look of surprise, but he just shook his head and sighed, "Everyone has their own ambitions, but they can't ask for it." ”

"Thank you, lord, for making it happen." Xun Chen said gratefully when he heard this.

Yes, Xun Yu left, because he saw that the reason why Yuan Shao did not agree to his proposal was entirely because he wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Qingzhou! If he negotiates peace with Liu Bei, then where will he have a reason to take Qingzhou?

So, he chose to leave. He was not worried that Yuan Shao would kill him, after all, his third brother Xun Yan and fourth brother Xun Chen Ke were still under Yuan Shao's account.

In August, the originally stalemate situation in Qingzhou suddenly changed, but it was not Yuan Shao or Liu Bei who finally defeated the other party, but Yuan Yi and others in Yanzhou retreated. The reason is also very simple, the yellow scarf in Yanzhou rose again, and the war burned all over Yanzhou in an instant.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Liu Bei. In the past, he led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and won successive battles to beat the Yellow Turban thieves, and in the end, in addition to those who were killed in battle and captured and surrendered, many Yellow Turban remnants chose to flee to Yanzhou and hide. Although they are thieves, they can only continue to hide everywhere in the face of the pursuit of officers and soldiers.

It's just that now, Wang Kuang and others led the army to a stalemate with Liu Bei in Taishan County, giving these Yellow Turban remnants a chance. Therefore, Wang Kuang and others, who received the news, hurriedly led their troops back to Yanzhou. Although they all chose to cling to Yuan Shao, if their territory was gone, they didn't believe that Yuan Shao would compensate them.

And in this regard, although Liu Bei is not very clear why the enemy suddenly retreated, how could he miss such a good opportunity? Therefore, he left a part of his troops to defend Yinyang, and he led his army straight to Yanxian.

"Then Yuan Shao will come again after receiving the news, it will take at least half a month or so, so at least, he will have to capture Juan County!" Liu Bei thought in his heart.

After such a long stalemate, it is not only him Yuan Shao who is unhappy, but also Liu Bei! Although Liu Bei always looks like a good gentleman in front of the people under his command, it does not mean that he Liu Bei really has no temper.

At the same time, Ji County, Liangzhou.

Zhang Ning drank tea while looking at the letter sent by Ma Teng. Every month, Ma Teng would write a letter to Zhang Ning about what he encountered in Chang'an, not to show his loyalty, but to hope that Zhang Ning could help him with his staff.

Although the situation between the DPRK and China is still dominated by Dong Zhuo's family, who knows when there will be changes? You must know that He Jin and the eunuchs, who were powerful all over the world in the past, were also completely replaced by Dong Zhuo within a few days.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhang Ning's brows furrowed, and he sighed lightly, and then read a passage in the letter repeatedly, for a long time, and his eyes moved to the frontispiece of the volume to look at it again.

"It's weird...... Zhang Ning muttered to himself, thought about it, got up and walked to the bookshelf on the side, picked up the letter sent by Ma Teng a few months ago and looked at it.

After a long time, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Ning's mouth, "It turned out that they paid attention to this, it seems that they finally can't wait." But it's no wonder that now the Kanto heroes are fighting each other, and they can sit still to have problems! ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning immediately took the pen and ink and wrote a reply to Ma Teng, but after writing, she did not send someone to send it immediately, but was silent for a while, and then picked up the pen and wrote a reply. And after writing this reply, she took a piece of white cloth and wrote hard.

Subsequently, Zhang Ning summoned a cronie, handed over the two letters to him, and took the letter written on the white cloth and advised, "You hide this letter in your clothes, you must hand it to the gentleman in a place where no one is around, and tell the gentleman that the things in the letter must be followed, and there must be no mistakes." Otherwise, we will all be wiped out! ”
