Gongsun Kang killed all the Wuheng nobles in Liaodong and swallowed 30,000 Wuheng herdsmen, and the news spread all over Youzhou. The masses in Youzhou have a lot of discussions, but not all of them say good things, for example, many learned and knowledgeable children of the family think that Gongsun Kang is poor and martial, does not pay attention to benevolence, and is not a good person like Gongsun Zhan.

When Gongsun Chan heard the news, he laughed three times and said, "I am not alone", and it is said that he drank a few more glasses of wine that day.

And Liu Yu, who was located in Ji (southwest of Beijing), Liu Yu, the patriarch of the Han family, heard the news and was so angry that he broke a beloved blue and white porcelain teacup.

Among the princes of the late Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was indeed a character.

When he first took over Youzhou, Youzhou was a mess. The people have no food to eat, and no clothing to cover their bodies. Youzhou's taxes are simply not enough to spend, and more than 200 million yuan of grain will be transferred from the surrounding states and Qingzhou all year round to support Youzhou. Youzhou is also a place of four wars, Xianbei, Wuheng and other foreign tribes have attacked the border of Youzhou every year, plundering the population and wealth of the people.

After Liu Yu took office, he vigorously developed agriculture and planting in Youzhou, increased local grain and textile production, and vigorously carried out boiled salt and iron mining in the Yuyang area; At the same time, increase the mutual market points with Xianbei, Wuhuan and other ethnic minorities. Make Youzhou gradually richer.

During the war years at the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu also accepted millions of displaced people from Qingzhou and Bingzhou, arranged jobs for them, and assigned them fields. Let the displaced people gradually settle down.

It can be seen from this that Liu Yu is indeed a good hand in governing the local area and invigorating the economy. If it is in the peaceful years, he is definitely a virtuous minister.

It's a pity that it's the end of the Han Dynasty, and it's a troubled time!

The biggest contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan lies in the policy towards foreign races.

Liu Yu's policy towards Xianbei and Wuheng is to appease and treat him kindly, and he is a famous "peace and talk state pastor". Just like in later generations, my Great China treated foreigners more closely than Chinese, Liu Yu was like a father to a son to the nobles of Wuheng.

The Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes would offer money to Liu Yu, and stated that they would respect Liu Yu's rules and would no longer harass the Han border. Liu Yu also often rewarded some money and food to the surrounding ethnic minorities; Of course, Gongsun Chan will often pretend to be a robber and snatch those gifts.

Gongsun Chan was a native of Lingzhi in Liaoxi (now Qian'anxi, Hebei), and the western Liaoxi region had been suffering from the invasion of the Hu people in the north in the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Zhan's reason is: "Hu Yi is difficult to control, when you ask for it because you are not a guest, now you will be rewarded with wealth, it will benefit the light man, and it will be a temporary name, not a long time to think about." ”

Of course, in Liu Yu's eyes, Gongsun Chan is a beautiful policy of hostility and oppression of nomads and undermining Liu Yu's national unity.

In the eyes of Liu Yu and Wuheng nobles, who are friendly with each other, they have intentionally or unintentionally ignored one thing: in the Wuheng camp, there are still more than 100,000 Han slaves who Wuheng has plundered over the years. During the years of enthusiastic exchange, neither side ever mentioned these slaves. It will take another fifteen years for Wei Wu to whip and Cao Cao to break through Liucheng and eliminate Wuheng before these Han slaves will be released.

Perhaps Gongsun Kang, who came from later generations, could not tolerate the existence of these Han slaves, but in the eyes of Liu Yu, the ruler, this was a trivial matter, and he had already acquiesced to the fact that these slaves were the private property of the Wuheng people.

People have feelings, after Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Chan in history, the Wuheng people also raised troops with Liu Yu's old subordinates, united with Yuan Shao, attacked Gongsun Zan and avenged Liu Yu. It can be seen what Liu Yu has fooled the Wuheng nobles into.

By the way, the king of Wuhengqiao who raised troops to avenge Liu Yu in history is Su Fuyan, who has just been killed by Gongsun Kang.

Therefore, now Liu Yu is very angry, just like his dead son.

It makes sense for him to be angry, there are only three forces that are more powerful in Youzhou: Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du and Wu Heng. In the past, Gongsun Zhan was disobedient and always troubled the Wuheng people; Now even Gongsun Du is against the sky! There is only one Wuheng person left who is more obedient and respectful of him, and he is also bullied by Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Kang.

After talking about big things, let's talk about small things to enrich the character of Liu Yu.

Although Liu Yu is a high-ranking official at the third public level, he is very frugal, wears shabby clothes, and does not eat more than one meat dish at a meal. The wealthy families who originally had a luxurious style near and far were all influenced by him to change their atmosphere.

At the beginning, Liu Yu was known for his simplicity, and he didn't change his hat when it was old, and put it on patches before wearing it. When he was killed, Gongsun Chan sent troops to search his home, only to find that his wives and concubines were wearing very high-end clothes, which led to suspicions about his simple qualities.

This incident is recorded in history. It can only be said that people are complex, and perfect saints are still rare. If the world is required by the standards of saints, then few people in the world can live.

Therefore, the matter of morality is a very personal and personal matter; If high standards are pushed to society and everyone is required to abide by them, then a large number of pseudo-Confucians with different hearts and mouths will inevitably be born.

For people like Liu Yu, Gongsun Kang has always been respectful. Of course, it is difficult to make Gongsun Kang truly admire a great Confucian. Even for Cai Yong, Gongsun Kang approached Old Man Cai because he wanted to soak his daughter.

Gongsun Kang's own moral level is not high, and he doesn't like acting. He never wanted to convince people with virtue, he always served people with his fists. Therefore, what Gongsun Kang hates the most is moral kidnapping.

Therefore, Gongsun Kang quickly put Liu Yu's attitude aside, he had more important things to do.

Time has come to the end of 191, and the year 192 is about to come.

He went to Gongsun Du and asked his father to write a letter to Xu Rong, in which he wrote a lot of longing and invited Xu Rong to return to Liaodong for a while.

Xu Rong is being favored by Dong Zhuo's side, of course he will not return to Liaodong. The letter is not for him to be shown now, either. Gongsun Kang instructed Cao Huachun: "If Dong Zhuo dies, immediately hand over this letter to Xu Rong." ”

"No" Cao Huachun bowed his hand as a courtesy. Gongsun Kang couldn't stand them kneeling down, so he forcibly asked Cao Huachun and Zheng He to revise their etiquette.

It is said that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, forcibly taught a group of old people to learn kneeling etiquette, what did he think?

"If Xu Rong doesn't want to go back to Liaodong at that time, he will forcibly bring him back." Gongsun Kang gave a second order.

Xu Rong is a talent, he once defeated Cao Cao and defeated Sun Jian. can be described as a famous fierce man, and his record is enough to be jaw-dropping. Such a fierce man has great kindness to the Gongsun family, and Gongsun Kang will not sit idly by and watch him be killed by Li Dao and Guo Yan no matter what.

In the past year, Cao Huachun has arranged three system elite soldiers to approach Xu Rong as a fellow villager in Liaodong. And because of his courage in battle and fearlessness of death, he was appreciated by Xu Rong and stayed by his side to become his personal soldier. Coupled with Sun Erniang's sweat medicine, it is still possible to take Xu Rong away if necessary.

It's just that in this way, you can only give up the thousands of elite soldiers who follow Xu Rong, it's a pity. So the best way is to let Xu Rong take the initiative to evacuate Chang'an, and take thousands of his subordinates with him by the way.
