Youzhou, right Beiping County.

In the first battle of Jizhou, under the excellent situation of successive battles, the first battle of Jieqiao was defeated, and Gongsun Zhan was in pain.

Fortunately, Liu Bei sent troops to help, and Gongsun Zhan escaped with his life.

Returning to Youbeiping, Gongsun Zhan finally recovered from his heartbreak and decided to reorganize his troops and horses and fight Yuan Shao again.

recruited troops and horses, and obtained Wei Xiaokuan, a native of the Wei clan in Zou County, Lu State, and a fierce general Xiong Kuohai to vote, and Gongsun Zhan's power increased greatly.

The flat land in the north right is narrow and sparsely populated, except for the garrison military households, there are almost no people, and it is not a long-term foothold.

At Wei Xiaokuan's suggestion, Gongsun Chan suddenly sent troops and seized Yuyang County.

Yuyang is a county with a large population in Youzhou.

There is the Great Wall as a barrier in the north, and there are few foreign races to disturb it. The southeast is bordered by the sea and is rich in aquatic products. It is bordered by Bohai County of Jizhou in the south, with convenient transportation.

The war in the Central Plains caused refugees to settle in Yuyang, and Gongsun Zhan occupied this place and quickly recovered.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, who is also the imperial prince, is the leading scholar of the court, and is the leading minister of the imperial court.

It has the reputation of generosity, and whether it is for princes or foreign races, it is mainly based on gentle and moderate policies.

And Gongsun Zhan was extremely tough on the northern ethnic groups. Wherever there is a dispute, it will be resolved by force.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan's attitudes towards foreign races are completely different, and the two have been contradictory for a long time.

Gongsun Zhan forcibly took Yuyang, Liu Yu was dissatisfied, but in order to calm things, he could only endure it.

Gongsun Chan was already fond of swords and soldiers, and neglected government affairs. After seizing Yuyang, he intensified his efforts, only to quickly increase his strength and then fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

Increase taxes, forcibly enlist in the army, rule the people, and complain.

There are even more families who moved from the Central Plains, who are overwhelmed by the hardships and secretly ask Liu Yu for help.

Liu Yu, as an important minister of the dynasty, shouldered the responsibility of Muzhou, and sent people to admonish and persuade him many times, but Gongsun Chan turned a deaf ear and ignored it.

Moreover. Recently, in order to appease the surrounding aliens, Liu Yu rewarded a large number of materials, which were repeatedly intercepted by Gongsun Zhan. to replenish military funds.

Liu Yu finally couldn't hold back and decided to send troops to teach Gongsun Chan a lesson.

……

Liu Yu has the name of a lenient elder, and has the closest relationship with the Youzhou family.

With his mind made, Liu Yu secretly contacted the family and soon recruited tens of thousands of soldiers.

Because of its mild attitude towards the northern aliens. There are even foreign tribes that take the initiative to send troops to help.

In a short period of time, Liu Yu actually recruited 100,000 soldiers and horses, and gathered in Changping, Jixian, and Anci, preparing to send troops to Yuyang.

Gongsun Chan has always ignored Liu Yu, because Liu Yu only knows appeasement and comfort, and lacks the courage to use soldiers.

Hearing that Liu Yu had raised 100,000 heavy soldiers, Gongsun Zhan was also a little panicked.

Urgently recruited his younger brother Sun Fan, and his subordinates Wei Xiaokuan, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, Guan Jing and others discussed countermeasures.

Long history Guan Jing, a timid force. Hearing that Liu Yu's soldiers were powerful, he persuaded: "The person that Mrs. Liu complains about is nothing more than our department intercepting his reward." Just return the supplies, sincerely apologize, and the scourge of the sword soldiers can be avoided. ”

Gongsun Fan and others also echoed their words. Only Wei Xiaokuan smiled and said nothing.

"What does filial piety mean?"

Wei Xiaokuan replied with a smile: "A certain view of Mrs. Liu's 100,000 soldiers and horses, like mud building grass Zal!" ”

Guan Jing hurriedly said: "General Bo Jue, don't trust Wei, his brave warriors. I don't know what is important. Listen to his words, and the catastrophe is not far away! ”

Gongsun Fan also persuaded: "Mrs. Liu gathered 100,000 people, three times as many as me, and rashly went to war. The consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Huh!" Gongsun Zhan waved his hand to stop Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing, "Filial piety is brave and resourceful, and he is insightful, so why not talk about it in detail." ”

Wei Xiaokuan's smile did not change and he talked eloquently.

"Liu Boan doesn't know anything about the military, although there are 100,000 people. There are three things that must be defeated: although the soldiers are numerous, their hearts are not aligned, and they are bound to be defeated; Although brave and lacking in strategy, it will be defeated; Although the momentum is big, the name is not right, and it will be defeated! ”

Gongsun Chan was greatly interested. "What is the difference between the hearts of the soldiers, although there are many soldiers?"

"Although there are 100,000 people, fifty percent of them are from the soldiers of the family, and forty percent are from the different races in the north, and only one percent is from his own men. How can such a rabble fight? ”

Guan Jing argued: "Even if his soldiers are not aligned, his subordinates Yuwen Chengdu will bravely champion the three armies; He Ruobi is brave and strategic, why is there no strategy? ”

"Hehe...... Wei Xiaokuan smiled confidently: "That Yuwen Chengdu, although he has bravery, he doesn't know how to plan for the unification, and he can still use it to command thousands of troops and horses, and he is undoubtedly digging his own grave." As for Na He Ruobi, although he has a little conspiracy, he only needs a little trick to divide the line, why worry? ”

Wei Xiaokuan's interpretation was very much in line with Gongsun Zhan's meaning, and Gongsun Zhan's confidence increased greatly. Xiaokuan continued, what is powerful, but not right."

"Liu Bo'an's reused people are of many different races. That Yuwen Chengdu is surnamed Yuwen; He Ruobi's surname is He Ruo, and they are all Xianbei families. There is a cloud in "Zuo Biography": If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. He is a person of a different race and recruits me to be of the same clan as a dignified Han person, how can he convince the world? This is the third thing that must be defeated! ”

Guan Jing saw that Gongsun Zhan was almost persuaded by Wei Xiaokuan, so he panicked even more, and strongly persuaded: "Wei has the ability to talk about troops on paper, and General Bo Jue will suffer disaster if he listens to his words." ”

Gongsun Zhan had made up his mind, and he didn't listen to Guan Jing's words, waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse, leaving Wei Xiaokuan alone.

"According to Xiaokuan, if you face a battle, you can win in a battle?"

Wei Xiaokuan said: "If Wei is made a general, he will definitely be able to win the battle." ”

"Yes!" Gongsun Chan did not hesitate.

Wei Xiaokuan bowed and bowed, thanking Gongsun Zhan for his trust and reuse, but his face showed a look of worry. "It's easy to take Youzhou, it's difficult to defend Youzhou, what General Bo Jue should consider is how to deal with everything after the battle with Liu Bo'an."

"Sizzle......"

Wei Xiaokuan said, and Zhonggong Sun Zan was worried.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Liu Mang of Bingzhou are the troubles of Gongsun Zhan.

Even if Liu Yu was defeated in a battle, he captured Youzhou. However, will Yuan Shao take the opportunity to make trouble? Liu Mang and Liu Yu have a good relationship, will they raise troops to avenge Liu Yu?

"Yuan Benchu and Liu Jiangtian, what do you say?"

"Jizhou Yuan Shao, it's still easy to deal with. Our army only needs to win a quick battle, and without waiting for Jizhou to respond, it will seize Zhuo County, Guangyang and other places, and strictly deploy defenses. ”

Gongsun Zan stroked his beard and said: "Then although Liu Jiangtian is good friends with Liu Yu, but the soldiers and horses in the state are mostly concentrated in Hedong and Luoyang, it is impossible to send troops, right?" ”

"Liu Jiangtian sent troops to rescue, there is no possibility. But he controls the situation, and only by easing the relationship with it and with the help of its strength can the general sit firmly in Youzhou. ”

"Ease relations with Liu Jiangtian......" Gongsun Chan hesitated.

He understood what Wei Xiaokuan meant. said that easing the relationship is to take care of Gongsun Zhan's face. Wei Xiaokuan's meaning, to put it bluntly, is to let Gongsun Zan take the initiative to curry favor with Liu Mang, in order to gain Liu Mang's support and sit firmly in Youzhou.

Wei Xiaokuan's other opinions are very much in line with Gongsun Zhan's intentions, and it is impossible for Gongsun Chan to agree only to please Liu Mang.

Liu Mang, born as a scoundrel.

When he first came to Youzhou, he gave Gongsun Zhan Bai Ma Yi the most humiliating defeat, Gongsun Zhan held back his strength to save face, how could he take the initiative to show favor to Liu Mang?

Gongsun Chan thought about it and didn't say it. "According to Xiaokuan's words, a certain carte blanche ordered Xiaokuan to fight with Liu Bo'an!"

"Wei will live up to his mission!" After Wei Xiaokuan saluted, he still cautiously reminded: "The relationship with Liu Jiangtian, the general still needs to consider carefully, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

"A claim of its own."

Gongsun Zhan has made up his mind, and he is ready to fight with Liu Yu in Youzhou! (To be continued.) )
