In the minds of Yuan Shao and his subordinates, the seemingly powerful Qingzhou has long been in crisis, although the Qingzhou New Deal that has been insisted on going its own way for several years has brought huge wealth, but it has offended the gentry and wealthy families of the world, and even Liu Cun spent a lot of money to establish the Langya Academy, which gathered the world's talents, is now separated from Liu Cun and gradually drifted away.

Sage Cloud: There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust! In the eyes of Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wenwu, what Liu Cun has done over the past few years has completely deviated from the position of the ruler, not only violated the law that has been inherited for thousands of years, but also seriously damaged the interests of the vast majority of gentry and wealthy families in the entire Han Dynasty, and it is not far from completely losing the hearts of the people and going into decline.

As far as the current Xuzhou is concerned, the Mi family of the rich world is Liu Cun's in-laws, and the people of Xuzhou, who have been blinded by petty profits for several years, have long proudly regarded Liu Cun as the son-in-law of Xuzhou.

Based on the above reasons, Xu You's views have been supported by most of the civil and military, and they all believe that the biggest reason why Liu Cun suddenly appeared in Gaoyang in the north can only be to show his attitude of maintaining Youzhou, Youzhou's coal, iron, cattle and horses have always been indispensable and important materials in Qingzhou, and all kinds of goods produced in Qingzhou also need to be sold to the vast grassland through Youzhou, which is probably also the fundamental reason why Liu Cungan, who was covered in copper smell, braved the world's condemnation and openly allied with Gongsun Zhan to eliminate Liu Yu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

As for the tens of thousands of homeless people who followed under the banner of the Che Cavalry General, they were just Liu Cungu's usual means of fishing for fame and reputation, and they were not worth mentioning.

Seeing that the opinions of most of the henchmen tend to be in agreement. Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, the chief strategist who was still bowing his head and pondering: "Does Yuan Hao have another opinion?" ”

Tian Feng raised his head hesitantly: "Lord." Liu Zijian's move seems to be mostly warning. Although there has been no change in the garrisons of Qingzhou so far, we have to guard against the fact that after our army fought with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Cun, who was openly allied with Gongsun Zhan, mobilized the Qingzhou army to flank our right flank......"

"Haha! Brother Yuanhao was too worried. ”

The judge who was in the second seat smiled and talked eloquently: "Today's Qingzhou is already in a difficult situation of internal and external difficulties and crises, the war in Yanzhou in the east is spreading, Luoyang in the west involves Liu Cun and the huge financial resources and energy of the entire Qingzhou, and Xuzhou in the south is even more in danger, and Liu Cun is simply unable to compete with our lord for Jizhou!" ”

"The reason why Liu Cun damaged his reputation and openly allied with Gongsun Zhan was why he suddenly appeared in Gaoyang, north of us. In the final analysis, it is to protect Bohai County, which has become the granary of the world, and Youzhou, which has long provided Qingzhou with a huge supply of coal, iron, cattle and horses, and wealth. ”

"Therefore, I believe that there is no need to revise the entire battle plan again, and take advantage of the fact that the Youzhou Army has not yet calmed down the civil strife to decisively move north, occupy the land south of the Youzhou border, and then stop for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to move. In this way, Gongsun Chan and Liu Cun naturally had no excuse to fight with our army, and they did not have such ability in a short period of time. ”

Everyone agreed. Yuan Shao also smacked his long beard proudly, smiling all over his face. Only Tian Feng was still hesitant, always feeling that something was wrong.

Just when Yuan Shao and his henchman Wenwu redetermined the strategic policy, Liu Cun and Gongsun Zhan, who came in a hurry, also discussed carefully in the north of Gaoyang City.

"Why don't you approve of our army taking the initiative? As long as Yuan Shao is contained, the virtuous brother can take it by surprise and cut off the retreat of his 100,000 army. ”

Gongsun Chan has never understood Liu Cun's suggestion that he Chen Bing wait for an opportunity at the border, others know about the Qingzhou army that has deliberately concealed its strength for a long time, Gongsun Chan is clear, otherwise he would never be willing to give up the interests of Jizhou in exchange for an alliance with Liu Cun.

Liu Cun could only tell his true thoughts: "It's not that our 150,000 coalition army can't defeat the 100,000 rabble of Yuan's army, and the younger brother is not worried that the sporadic rebellions within Youzhou will affect the overall situation. ”

"To tell the truth, the younger brother has always had an unsightly desire in his heart, and when he said it, he asked his brother not to spread the word, that is, to completely eliminate Yuan Shao and his forces, not only to defeat him, but also to take off his head!"

Gongsun Zhan was happy: "I understand, the virtuous brother is going to finish his work in one battle!" ”

Liu Cun sighed with great emotion: "That's right, the little brother has been enduring and waiting for several years, waiting for this fleeting opportunity in front of him!" ”

"My brother also knows that the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family have influenced the whole Han world, and over the years, they have not only won the full support of those wealthy families in the world, but also those civil and military ministers from the Yuan family's gate are still controlling the fate of the imperial court and even my Han Dynasty......"

"It can be said that today's Yuan family brothers are not only the leaders of the family who are competing to follow, but also the culprits who are ambitious and confusing the world.

Gongsun Chan immediately restrained his smile and echoed with deep feeling: "That's true! If it weren't for those insatiable family lords who controlled the government and confused the world, how could my Han Dynasty fall into such a situation, as the virtuous brother said, only by eradicating the Yuan brothers, I will have a bright day for the children of the Han family! ”

"Alas, although the virtuous brother is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but the virtuous brother has experienced ups and downs, noble character, and all the powerful people of the Han Dynasty are different, what the virtuous brother has done in Qingzhou over the years has made the foolish brother admire, and he is full of emotion, and it has also given the foolish brother great confidence!"

"My brother has won the award, and there is still a long way to go!" Liu Cun smiled humbly.

Gongsun Zhan also smiled: "Don't worry, listen to you, show weakness to the enemy, let Yuan Benchu be proud for a few more days, haha!" By the way, send me some Takahashi saddles and horseshoes, the latest 5,000 sets of Takahashi saddles and horseshoes sent by your navy are too easy to use, and the brothers in our army can't put it down after trying it, and they all think that with the Takahashi saddle with exquisite stirrups, nailed to the horseshoe, both the impact power and the horse's combat power can be increased several times, and the war horse is well protected, which is really a supreme weapon of ingenuity! ”

Liu Cun immediately agreed: "Okay, after the junior brother goes back, he will immediately gather 5,000 sets, and send them to the elder brother along with the manufacturing drawings...... These things don't need any advanced craftsmanship, there are fine iron, furs, wood and craftsmen under my brother's rule, just organize manpower to build it, and when Yuan Shao is finished, we will crusade against Wuhuan together and conquer the world together. ”

Gongsun Chan was overjoyed: "Foolish brother won't thank you...... After going back, the foolish brother asked the younger brother to send 10,000 war horses. ”

"Thank you, brother."

Liu Cun arched his hand, thought about it and reminded with some unease: "Since my brother needs manpower, more than 10,000 displaced people outside the city will be handed over to my brother for resettlement, but there is one thing that my brother should pay attention to, although the sporadic rebellions in the north and west of Youzhou do not affect the overall situation, but the younger brother still suggests that the brother calm down as soon as possible, once the big war is launched, we will not have the energy to care so much, and only by destroying Yuan Shao can we free up our hands." ”

Gongsun Chan laughed: "Don't worry, Brother Xian, it's just a trivial matter, and the remnants of those who slipped through the net won't last a few days......" (to be continued......)
