Chapter 523: Rescue
When Liu Yu's son Liu He was coerced by Yuan Shu, Liu Yu sent 3,000 cavalry to join forces with Yuan Shu to fight against Dong Zhuo to meet the Son of Heaven, and did not want Gongsun Chan to secretly make a trick, so he sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue with the cavalry to take refuge with Yuan Shu, seized Liu Yu's soldiers and horses, and detained Liu Yu's son, as a result, Gongsun Yue also died, and Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu had a grudge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the following years, Gongsun Chan frequently used troops, and there were more and more soldiers and horses, and the strength became stronger and stronger, Liu Yu saw that Gongsun Chan was an ambitious man, and he was afraid that he would be difficult to check and balance after he was strong, so he opposed him to send troops to Jizhou, and cut its grain and grass supply, Gongsun Chan had no grain and grass, so he went to plunder the people, and Liu Yu's property to the Hu people was also robbed by Gongsun Zhan.
So Liu Yu went to the court to state Gongsun Zhan's crime of plundering, and Gongsun Chan also wrote to the court, accusing Liu Yu of deducting grain and grass, and the two did not destroy each other, and the court whip was beyond the reach of the whip, and there was nothing to be done. Gongsun Chan built a city in Jixian County, Liu Yu failed to summon each other several times, and finally became angry, and gathered 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Chan a few days ago.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan's army was all outside, and there were only hundreds of soldiers and horses in Jixian County, and he wanted to dig a tunnel to escape, but he didn't want Liu Yu to order his 100,000 soldiers before sending troops, and this time only killed Gongsun Zhan alone, and did not hurt others. With such an order, how can the soldiers fight? His soldiers were not good at fighting, and they were tied, and tens of thousands of troops could not capture a single Jixian County.
Gongsun Chan didn't expect Liu Yu's soldiers and horses to be so incompetent, immediately picked hundreds of warriors, took advantage of the wind to set fire, and rushed straight to kill the past, Liu Yu's 100,000 soldiers and horses were defeated, and fled north to Juyong County with Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan pursued and attacked the city, and the city fell in three days, and Liu Yu was caught in Jixian County.
The battle situation changed too quickly, the contrast was too great, and before Guo Jia, who was sitting in Zhongshan County, could react, Liu Yu was caught by Gongsun Zhan, who was as smart as he did not expect this result, so he could only report to Zhang Liao.
Then Zhang Liao replied and asked Guo Jia to rescue Liu Yu, but fortunately, at this time, Gongsun Zhan controlled Liu Yu in Jixian County and had not been killed, but continued to be in charge of Youzhou civil affairs as a puppet, giving Guo Jia a chance.
At the beginning of December in the winter of the fourth year of Chuping, in the west of Jixian County, the cold wind was cold, Liu Yu and his wife and children were tied up in the execution ground, Gongsun Zhan's thousands of soldiers and horses guarded the Quartet, Gongsun Zhan and a middle-aged official with a pale face stood in front of the city and looked at Liu Yu.
This middle-aged official is the envoy of the Son of Heaven Duan Xun, this time he came to Youzhou to convey the imperial edict: increase Liu Yu's fiefdom, appoint him as the governor of six states, appoint Gongsun Zhan as a former general, seal Yihou, and fake festival to supervise Youzhou, And, Qing, and Hebei four states.
Not wanting to encounter the Youzhou Incident, Liu Yu was caught by Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Yu was still more powerful than himself in the imperial court appointment, and immediately thought of a plan to kill people with a knife, he told Duan Xun that Liu Yu had conspired with Yuan Shao and others to become emperor, and escorted Liu Yu Manmen to the west city of Jixian County, and coerced Duan Xun to personally supervise and behead Liu Yu Manmen.
Even though Duan Xun was unwilling, he was forced by Gongsun Zhan and did not dare to disobey.
In front of the West Market, Liu Yu's wife and daughter were crying, but the white-haired Liu Yu was silent, although he was kind and gentle, he was not afraid of death.
Gongsun Chan swept Liu Yu's face and hesitated, he knew that Liu Yu had a high reputation in Youzhou, and he was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble after he killed him, but if he didn't kill him, he would also have a lot of trouble, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, Gongsun Chan strode in front of Liu Yu and said loudly to the sky: "If Yu should be the Son of Heaven, the sky should rain and rain to save him." ”
After that, he looked at the sky, then looked at Liu Yu, and said hesitantly: "It seems that the sky will not spare you." ”
Duan Xun's cheeks twitched on the side, who doesn't know that Youzhou has been dry for months, and it is winter at this time, so there is precipitation and snow, where does the rain come from.
Gongsun Zhan turned to look at Duan Xun, hugged his fists and said, "Please give an angel an order to behead the rebel thief Liu Yu!" ”
Liu Yu, who was disheveled, glanced up at Gongsun Zhan, sneered, and his face was expressionless.
At this time, there was a sudden cry from the crowd, and several people rushed out and scolded Gongsun Zhan: "Gongsun is a traitor, dare to harm Liu Gong, shameless, the crime will be punished on the same day!" ”
But it was Sun Jin, Peng Zhangyi, and Zhang Zan who came to die with Liu Yu.
Gongsun Chan was furious, anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Kill them all!" ”
He glared at Duan Xun, Duan Xun shuddered, couldn't help but close his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay...... Execute. ”
More than a dozen executioners raised their knives and were about to kill Liu Yu and the others, but they didn't want to suddenly shout again: "Keep people under the knife!" ”
Hundreds of people suddenly rushed out of the crowd on all sides and attacked the execution ground.
Gongsun Chan didn't expect that there were so many enemy soldiers in the city, he was shocked and angry, and immediately ordered his soldiers: "Kill these traitors!" Then he shouted at the executioner: "Execute immediately!" ”
The executioner who was in charge of beheading Liu Yu was about to take the knife when two feathered arrows came and passed through his throat.
There was a shout from the crowd: "Shoot Gongsun Zhan!" ”
Another person shouted: "On the order of the governor of the state, come to save Liu Youzhou." ”
In the crowd, Zhao Yun took his bow and arrows, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten arrows were shot, and with the cooperation of the crossbowmen around him, all the executioners on the execution ground fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, dozens of crossbow arrows shot at Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan was shocked, and grabbed Duan Xun in front of him, Duan Xun only let out a miserable howl, and was shot into a hedgehog, but Gongsun Chan took the opportunity to escape the catastrophe, and it was already a cold sweat.
Immediately after the trigger of the crossbow arrow sounded, Gongsun Zhan's face showed a shocked look, and he did not hesitate to retreat immediately with the soldiers.
At this time, the west gate of the city was also breached, but there were crossbowmen who shot the soldiers defending the city, allowing thousands of cavalry outside the city to rush in.
Gongsun Zhan was shocked and angry, but after he captured Liu Yu, he sent the soldiers and horses out of Yixian County to prevent Yuan Shao and Zhongshan.
And Zhao Yun rescued Liu Yu with soldiers and horses, and did not stay long, evacuated Jixian County, and retreated southwest into Zhongshan.
Donglai County, Zhang Liao received the news that Guo Jia and Zhao Yun had rescued Liu Yu, and heard that Liu Yu experienced this incident, and was devastated, and wanted to return to the imperial court, so he groaned and wrote a letter to Liu Yu, persuading Liu Yu to stay in Youzhou, with soldiers and horses outside, the Son of Heaven would be more stable, if he returned to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven would be dangerous.
He pointed out a way for Liu Yu again, and asked him to guard Daijun, Shanggu, and Zhuo County in the west of Youzhou, recruit the old department, pacify the people, and restrict the development of Gongsun Zhan.
The impact of Zhang Liao's rescue of Liu Yu in Youzhou was huge, making his reputation skyrocket all of a sudden, and countless people in Youzhou knew that there was a Zhang Wenyuan who helped the needy, and Guo Jia took the opportunity to let Zhang Jian develop to Youzhou with a shadow to promote Zhang Liao's heroic deeds in the past.
Zhang Liao's influence began to infiltrate Youzhou silently.
At the same time, Guo Jia received a letter from Zhang Liao and learned that Gongsun Du crossed the sea to seek Donglai, so he gave Zhang Liao a plan to show the enemy weakness, let Gongsun Du's soldiers go ashore, and then ambush and annihilate him, and then seize the big ship for his own use.
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he received Guo Jia's reply and immediately planned.
