Originally, Liu Bei took Jizhou, and he was complacent. When he learned that someone was coming from Qingzhou, he hurriedly ordered someone to come in to meet him.

When the visitor saw Liu Bei, he knelt on the ground, crying and saying, Liu Bei listened with a helpless face.

This person was dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, his head was bleeding, no matter how much Liu Bei persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him.

The other person kneeling beside him also looked at the man kneeling there and crying with an embarrassed face, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade him several times, but he didn't know how to talk about it, so he had to give up.

Speaking of which, it is still the fault of Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

Gongsun Duzi Shengji, originally a native of Xiangping, Liaodong. Gongsun Du's father, Gongsun Yan, escaped to Xuansu, and Gongsun Du became a county official in Xuansu County.

At that time, Xuansu was too protective of Gongsun Chen's son, Gongsun Leopard, who was eighteen years old, but he had already died. Gongsun Du was also called Leopard when he was young, and he was the same age as Gongsun Chen's son, and as soon as Gongsun Chen saw him, he liked him, sent him to study, and married him a wife. Later, he recommended him to others and let him be Shang Shulang, and later he was promoted to Jizhou Assassin, but because of rumors, he was immediately deposed.

Gongsun Du's fellow countryman Xu Rong was a Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo, and he recommended Gongsun Du to be the Taishou of Liaodong. But because Gongsun Du started his career from a petty official in Xuansu, the people of Liaodong County looked down on him. Prior to this, Gongsun Zhao, a vassal state of Liaodong, was the county commander of Xiangping, and he made Gongsun Du's son Gongsun Kang the commander of the army, and deliberately insulted Gongsun Du. As soon as Gongsun Du took office, he arrested Gongsun Zhao and whipped him to death in Xiangping City. The wealthy families in the county, such as Tian Shao and other families, had no grudges or hatreds against him, but they were all killed by him with an excuse. There were more than 100 wealthy families whose families were ruined by him, and everyone in the county was terrified. Gongsun Du went east to Goguryeo and west to Karasuma, and shocked overseas.

When the princes were discussing Dong, Gongsun Du learned that the Central Plains was in turmoil, so he said to his close subordinates Liu Yi and Yangyi: "According to the prophecy in the book, Sun Deng should be the son of heaven, and the surname Gongsun is too guarded. Now that the world of the Han family is in turmoil, and the Liu family is about to fall, it is my turn to discuss with you about plotting for the throne. ”

The so-called proverb has a cloud: Sun Deng should be the son of heaven. This is actually an old stalk, when Emperor Guangwu was in power, someone set up a person named Sun Deng as the emperor according to this prophecy.

So, you understand why Sun Quan named his son Sun Deng, they are all a group of ambitious goods.

At that time, there was a big stone growing in the place where the shrine god was worshiped in Yanli, Xiangping County, which was more than one zhang long, and there were three small stones below to make its feet. Someone said to Gongsun Du: "The shape of this stone is similar to the crown of Emperor Xuan of Han, and its location in Yanli is the same as your father's name." The shrine is a place where the god of the land is worshipped, indicating that you should own the land of the world, and the three princes are the auxiliaries. ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, he was even more pleased.

……

The person who was in front of Liu Bei and bled to the point of bleeding was also from Liaodong, named Li Min, who used to be the Taishou of Hanoi. Hanoi's political status in the county of the world is very high, second only to Nanyang, Li Min, a native of Liaodong, can achieve this position, which is very rare, so he has a high prestige in Liaodong County.

Gongsun Du was self-reliant, Li Min opposed Gongsun Du's actions, and was afraid that Gongsun Du would harm him, so he led the whole family to move to an island. When Gongsun Du learned about it, he was very angry, dug up the grave of Li Min's father, opened the coffin and burned the body, and exterminated the Li clan that was left behind.

In the original history, Li Min had no hope of revenge, and finally died of depression.

However, this time he found Liu Bei, and the person who accompanied him was Guan Cheng.

Originally, Guan Cheng did a good job as the soil emperor in his own county, and Liu Bei also kept his promise and didn't care about him.

But. Guan Cheng saw that Liu Bei's territory was getting bigger and bigger, and his power was getting stronger and stronger. I also saw that Liu Bei employed people, eclectic, and did not talk about his family background, so he presented the household registration and atlas of Changguang County. only brought more than 1,000 people from the headquarters, ready to completely surrender to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was overjoyed, took Guan Cheng as Sima, and still led the old department.

Li Min had a deep blood feud and fled across the sea with his family, and happened to be accepted by Guan Cheng, and learned that Liu Bei's army was strong and occupied both Qingdao and Hebei Prefectures, so he came to see Liu Bei with Guan Cheng.

As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Li Min immediately burst into tears, bowed to the ground, and told Gongsun Du all kinds of trespassing, and said that Gongsun Du killed innocents in Liaodong and his whole clan was killed, and asked Liu Bei to send troops to uphold justice and crusade against Gongsun Du.

Liu Bei ordered someone to help Li Min up, and said: "Gongsun Du is rebellious and unreasonable, indiscriminately killing innocents, I will kill him sooner or later, the upper is to seek the thief for the Son of Heaven, and the lower is to avenge the Duke of Li, it is just a military matter, you must be cautious, let me discuss it carefully." ”

Li Min bowed again: "Thank you Ming Gong, if Ming Gong is against Gongsun Du, although Min is not talented, he is willing to contribute with the army." ”

When Li Min left, Liu Bei asked everyone to discuss, Liaodong County, in fact, was Liaoning Province in later generations, which was a large agricultural province, and it was not a problem to settle hundreds of thousands of government soldiers, Liu Bei was naturally salivating.

Xun Yu said: "Gongsun Du is admittedly rebellious, but in the remote places of Liaodong, it is inconvenient for the army to march, if it is not quiet today, it should be the first to be in peace, to be peaceful in the middle of the earth, and to control a corner of the world, naturally invincible and unfavorable"

Everyone held this intention, and when Liu Bei saw this, he had to find Li Min again and tell him about it. Li Min cried loudly: "The Han family is in the world, and it is so much. ”

After that, he couldn't stop crying.

But I didn't want to, annoying a hero.

There, Li Min, who was kneeling, cried miserably, and I don't know if Li Min cried too miserably, or if Gongsun Du's various transgressions were too out of line.

For example, his father Gongsun Yan was posthumously named the Marquis of Jianyi. Set up temples for the two ancestors of the Han Dynasty, set up an altar in the south of Xiangping City according to the ancient system, worship heaven and earth in the suburbs, plough the fields pro-ploughing, govern the army, sit on the Luan car that the emperor can sit on when traveling, hang nine jade strings on the hat, and take the cavalry wearing the hat as the Yulin Army.

In short, Gongsun Du's various behaviors are all the style of the founder of the country, but this country is not an empire, but a Hou country.

All this annoyed Zang Hong next to him.

If you want to say that Zang Hong is really a loyal minister of the Han family, without him, the Sour Jujube Alliance may not have it. Therefore, Zang Hong stepped forward and saluted, and said loudly: "Prince, Gongsun Du is so rebellious, it should be cut down, how can you not do it with the remoteness of the road, although you are not talented, I am willing to mention the division of a brigade, behead it, and make an example of the rebellious ministers and thieves in the world." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei frowned, Gongsun Du had a clear conspiracy against him, and even in a sense, it was too much than Dong Zhuo's behavior. Dong Zhuomian can barely be said to be a powerful minister, while Gongsun Du is really rebellious.

Even Dong Zhuo's goods, when he was persuaded, knew that the rod cart with Jinhua green cover and claw painting was changed to a soap cover car with 2,000 stones. Gongsun Du is good, and he directly fights the honor guard of the Son of Heaven.

However, Liu Bei knew that that place in Liaodong was really difficult to fight.

Because of the existence of the Liaohe River, the transportation in Liaodong was too poor in ancient times, and there has always been a large expanse of swamp wetlands on the north bank of the west bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, and this swamp wetland is Liaoze. The existence of Liaoze has caused a large area on the west bank and north bank of the Liao River to be very difficult for troops to pass through, so that "Liaoze is muddy, and vehicles and horses cannot pass." ”

Who let the Liaohe River be dishonest, small-scale floods occur every year, and there will be a major flood every three or five days, so naturally there are large swamps. This kind of swamp can only be cured unless the national strength reaches a certain point and a large-scale renovation of the Liao River can be carried out.

The unlucky boy of Emperor Yang of Sui, with the strength of the country, conquered Liaodong three times, but because of the mud of Liaoze and the lack of logistics, he lost the battle, and finally ended up with a ruined country. The lesson of the car behind is there, Liu Bei is in a corner, how dare he act rashly.

It's just that Zang Hong's goods are impassioned there, and Liu Bei can't help but respond one or two.

After thinking about it, Liu Bei said: "Let's ask Gong Li to go down and rest first." ”

When Li Min, who was wiped out by Gongsun Du, left, Liu Bei asked Zang Hong: "Ziyuan, Sun Tzu said: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." I also want to conquer Liaodong for a long time, but Liaodong is remote, the roads are far away, and Gongsun Du dares to do this rebellious thing because he is in danger. How sure you are of it, you must not be rash and brave for a while. ”

Zang Hong said: "Don't worry, I also know that Liaodong is remote, and it is not easy to transport grain and grass, so the army cannot be taken lightly." I don't need a large army, just a few thousand soldiers. ”

Thousands of elite soldiers, this logistical pressure is not too great, but there is only one such elite soldier under Liu Bei, but only 5,000 people. It is Liu Bei's personal soldier, known as the "Xuanfeng Battalion", which is in charge of Dian Wei. This selection battalion was selected according to the standards of Wei Wushu. Each person is covered with three rods, can wear triple armor, carry a strong bow and crossbow, and fifty arrows, and drive a hundred miles in the middle of the day.

It is true that only such a strong army can use the least logistical supplies to go straight to Liaodong, thousands of miles away, and still have enough combat effectiveness to be able to enter the battle after a long march.

It's just that Liu Bei is reluctant! In case of loss, he will lose a strong army. Or, Zang Hong simply cut off the news and used this army to divide Liaodong, who Liu Bei would find to cry.

At that moment, Liu Bei was about to put on a straight face, rejected Zang Hong's suggestion, and saw Cheng Yu step forward and said: "Junhou, I have a plan to crusade against Gongsun Du." ”

Liu Bei asked, "Will the plan be released?" Afraid that Cheng Yu would also agree to send troops, Liu Bei said: "Gongsun Du is rebellious, I have wanted to attack Liaodong for a long time, but I know that Liaodong is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to attack, so I hesitate." ”

Cheng Yu was not in a hurry, stretched out two fingers, and said: "This plan is called a plan to 'drive the tiger and devour the wolf', but it doesn't need the prince to send troops in person, just so, so......, so

This is exactly what Mo Dao only said a few words, which is better than a million male soldiers!
