Chapter Ninety-Seven: Chain Reaction

Jizhou Xindu, the heroic Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, and learned that the assassin sent to assassinate Gongsun Yi had succeeded, and he was overjoyed for a while.

Just Jizhou Wu has Zhang He, Gao Lan, Liyi and others, Wen has Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, judge and other resourceful people, it can be said that there are many talents, although Gongsun Zhan father and son north and south are in a coordinated attack, but Yuan Shao is confident that they can be broken individually.

Now that Gongsun Yi is dead, it is the opportunity to break through the Xiao cavalry army and attack Qingzhou in one fell swoop, presumably with the prestige of his fourth and third dukes, those Qingzhou scholars will inevitably fall to the wind, not to mention that Yuan Shao has already sent people to Qingzhou to contact those scholars who are dissatisfied with Gongsun Yi in private.

On this day, Yuan Shao convened the ministers to discuss the war, the civil and military divisions sat down left and right, Yuan Shao came to sit down, everyone bowed their heads and saluted, Yuan Shao looked around and said loudly: "I got a secret report today, the traitor Gongsun Yi has been ambushed, and the old man wants to send troops to Qingzhou, what do you think?" ”

"No!" Suddenly, a man spoke in a deep voice, this person was strange and ancient, with a slight beard, a righteous body, and his words were loud and transparent, which made people look sideways for a while.

Yuan Shao's original chuckle froze completely on his face, and he looked at Na Shiliu coldly and said in a deep voice: "Tian Feng, what do you want?" ”

Fu Zhi sighed slightly, although he also planned to persuade Yuan Shao not to pursue Gongsun Yi, but Tian Feng's words like this probably made Yuan Shao completely make up his mind, and he had always been familiar with Yuan Shao's personality and understood that there was no turning point in sending troops.

Xu You, Feng Ji and others sneered, secretly mocking Tian Feng for looking for his own death, it was obvious that Yuan Shao had made up his mind to send troops, Tian Feng was good, he didn't give Yuan Shao face at all, not only dissuaded loudly in public, but also put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, losing the protection of the lord, he Tian Feng was worthless, and he couldn't blame others for his own trouble.

Tian Feng hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord, this is Gongsun Yi's plan to cheat death, please think twice, don't be fooled, if our army goes to attack, it will inevitably fall into the trap of the Xiao cavalry, once the army is defeated and killed, my Jizhou will inevitably fall into passivity, Gongsun Zhan father and son will inevitably join forces to attack, Jizhou is in danger!" ”

"Okay, you Tian Feng, come on, give me Tian Feng's mess stick!"

"The Lord is angry!" Fu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the assassins who went to assassinate have all died, and no one is sure that Gongsun Yi is dead, our army can't get close to the coffin, and can't confirm the news of his death, so it's better to wait for the investigation to be clear before marching." ”

Frustration and Tian Feng have the same idea, this is just Gongsun Yi's trick to cheat death, it is to lure the Jizhou army to go, the purpose is very obvious, but now Yuan Shao's anger has not disappeared, and the idea of sending troops is very firm, even if he is persuaded is useless, only to stabilize Yuan Shao, and it is not too late to persuade when his anger dissipates.

"Lord Frustration's words are wrong, the fighter plane is fleeting, the thief Gongsun Yi has been ambushed, the morale of the Xiao cavalry is low, and the soldiers have nothing to follow, it is a godsend opportunity to break the Xiao cavalry army, if the Xiao cavalry army returns safely with Gongsun Yi's body, the Qingzhou forces will inevitably be reintegrated, and if you want to attack again, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it."

Xu You came out to talk about it, and then turned to Yuan Shao with a fist and saluted: "Without further ado, please also ask the lord to send troops quickly." In fact, Xu You also roughly guessed that Gongsun Yi's death might be fraudulent, but it was only supported by Frustration and Tian Feng, so he Xu You naturally wanted to oppose it.

"I'll wait for the reconsideration, and I also ask the lord to send troops quickly."

The judge and others, who have been silent, support Xu You's opinion, not because of this dispatch of troops, but because it is the idea of the lord Yuan Shao, depending on his will, even if Yuan Shao is defeated, he will not bite it, even if it is to go down the steps, it is just an understatement of punishment, and it is a big taboo for those who are ministers to commit it.

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Kong Wu was powerful, and Zhang He, who was dressed in armor, got up and hugged his fists.

"General Zhang is responsible for border defense and cannot be moved lightly, Gao Lan, He Mao, Wang Mo!"

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone and made a point.

"The end will be." The three of them stood up and clenched their fists in response.

"General Gao is the commander, He Mao is the vanguard, leading 10,000 elite soldiers, pursuing the Xiao cavalry, be sure to defeat the Qingzhou Xiao cavalry on the border of Qingdao and Hebei, if you can take the body of the thief Gongsun Yi, I will have a heavy reward!"

Yuan Shao looked at everyone's reconsideration, and his heart was happy, and he immediately ordered Zhang He to send troops to pursue the Xiao cavalry, but Yuan Shao also knew that this was not the best time to take Qingzhou, as long as the Xiao cavalry army could be defeated on the battlefield, the Qingzhou warriors would inevitably defect one after another, and then they would be able to take Qingzhou without blood.

As for Yu Ban, Tai Shici and other Gongsun Yi generals, Yuan Shao did not pay attention to it at all, Gongsun Yi has no heirs, and the wife who has just married is not enough to preside over the overall situation, although the Kong family is a big clan in Qingzhou, but it only exists under the protection of Gongsun Yi, and now Gongsun Yi is dead, and the big tree he relies on has collapsed, and he has no previous privileges and status, and will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

These generals do not have anyone who continues to be loyal, those with dissident intentions will inevitably lead the army to stand on their own, and even loot and slaughter the city is not impossible, but they cannot occupy Qingzhou, those scholars who have controlled Qingzhou for many years will never allow these warriors to decide the future of Qingzhou, and will naturally try their best to seek external princes.

Today, the only people who can occupy Qingzhou are Cao Cao and his Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has always been arrogant, and he does not take Cao Cao in his eyes, not to mention that now he occupies Jizhou, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the talents are abundant, and Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao has no qualifications to compete for Qingzhou at all.

"The lord must not, this is the plan of the thief Gongsun Yi, the lord, the lord!" Tian Feng was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down to advise, Jizhou is newly determined, and the morale of the assassin is booming, it is the time to make great efforts to stabilize the entire territory of Jizhou, if the war is lost, it is very likely that the previous efforts will be in vain, how can Tian Feng not persuade him!

"It's all gone!" Yuan Shao was furious, and he became more and more disgusted with Tian Feng, but the battle strategy had been decided, and he didn't bother to deal with Tian Feng, out of sight and out of mind, Yuan Shao waved his hand and snorted coldly and brushed away, Xu You and the others looked at Tian Feng who was kneeling on the ground with pity.

Fu Zhu sighed slightly, helped Tian Feng up, and said in a low voice: "The lord has no need to persuade anymore, or find a way to minimize the loss as much as possible, this is the way to be a minister!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Frustration." Tian Feng hugged his fists and saluted, although he knew that this might anger the lord Yuan Shao, but Gu Laiwen had no death to fight, Tian Feng had no complaints and no regrets, but Yuan Shao did not listen to his opinions.

*****

The news of Gongsun Yi's assassination reached Qingzhou, Kong Liang, the patriarch of the Kong family, frowned, the news of Qingzhou's death was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Kong Liang was bitter in his heart, and he didn't dare to tell the news to the clansmen, presumably it wouldn't be long before the Kong family would be attacked by other clansmen.

Is it to escape, or is it to stay? Kong Liang was indecisive for a while, and at this time, a man from the Kong family in his early thirties came in a hurry, and hugged his fist to Kong Liang in a slightly panicked manner: "The head of the family, the Chen family and the Xu family instigated the merchants to cut off the trade caravan with my Kong family, and organized people to openly rob my Kong family's territory, the head of the family, how should we deal with it?" ”

Kong Liang was silent, the Kong family lost the support of Gongsun Yi and was about to be destroyed, and the reason why the Chen and Xu families dared to act so unscrupulously was that they had already received the news of Gongsun Yi's death.

It is difficult to imagine how the Xiao cavalry stationed in Qingzhou will react when they learn that the lord is dead.

"Kong Yoo, you have followed me for many years, and I trust you very much." Kong Liang stepped forward, his tone was gentle, and he looked at Kong Yu and said with trust.

Kong Yu's heart moved and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "If it weren't for the owner of the family to save the villain who was about to starve to death on the side of the road, I'm afraid the villain would have starved to death. ”

"Kong Yoo, I order you to immediately take someone to Beihai City and take the eldest lady out, when Jingzhou is far away from the world, you can bring money to go and protect the eldest lady incognito."

"The master of the house, you?"

"Many things have long been destined, as the head of the family, you can only live and die with the family, and my daughter's thoughtfulness will be entrusted to you." Kong Liang thought of Kong Yue, his eyes were full of tenderness, but as a father, he could no longer shelter and accompany him.

"Don't worry, the villain will not be dishonored!" Kong Yoo clenched his fists and turned away.
