Yanzhou is a strategic place, the people are rich, commerce and trade are developed, it can be said that the foundation of the hegemony is the foundation, but also the place where the soldiers must fight, Cao Cao is relying on Yanzhou to rise, if Gongsun Yi has not moved the mind of Yanzhou occupied, it is self-deception.

It's just that Chen Gong and the others didn't know that the reaction of the Yanzhou Shi clan Gongsun Yi had already predicted, the reason why they did not attack Yanzhou when the Chen soldiers were in sour dates and the army was in their prime, in addition to the inconvenience of doing it when they met the alliance, and more importantly, the land of Yanzhou was mostly occupied and controlled by the Shi clan of the wealthy families.

Although Gongsun Yi is a hussar general, and has many meritorious achievements in the battle against the traitor Dong Zhuo, but the Yanzhou scholars will not buy it, if it is Yuan Shao who comes to seek Yanzhou, I am afraid that the Yanzhou scholars will not have so much to take into account, the shadow of the famous tree, the reputation of the fourth and third princes will always have a lot of convenience.

It's just that Cao Cao is different from Gongsun Yi, although he is not as good as Yuan Shao's fourth and third dukes, but Cao Cao is also a gatekeeper, his ancestors and fathers are both high-ranking officials in the court, plus Cao Cao's calm bearing, he won a strong reputation in the battle against Dong Zhuo, and naturally it is not comparable to a young man with a deep background like Gongsun Yi.

Although the wealthy scholars of Yanzhou did not have any intention of welcoming Cao Cao to Yanzhou at this time, compared with Gongsun Yi, the son of the young border general, he still has a calm bearing, and Cao Cao is more suitable after the dominant gatekeeper.

Nearly 100,000 people, under the leadership of the Xiao cavalry army slightly worried into the unfamiliar land of Yanzhou, Chen Gong and others personally came to greet them, no matter how the people are the foundation of local development, 100,000 people live in Yanzhou, can supplement the population on a large scale, why not.

Chen Gong is also the first time to see Gongsun Yi, although he is not very old, he has a calm breath and a good appearance, not like a young man, but Chen Gong is a general of Liu Dai, so he can't say much, he is deeply respectful and said that he will properly arrange the people.

Cao Cao saw that Gongsun Yi sent nearly 100,000 people to Yanzhou, and thought that Gongsun Yi would plant soldiers among the people in order to take Yanzhou, but he didn't expect Gongsun Yi to do this at all, as if he had no intention of taking Yanzhou at all.

Cao Cao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and came all the way to Gongsun Yi's military tent to ask what was going on, Gongsun Yi saw Cao Cao's arrival, chuckled and asked him to sit down, and poured wine in person: "Brother Cao, don't worry, everything will be clear soon." ”

"I don't know if I'm a brother, but it's better to explain my doubts!"

The general situation of the world is unknown, we must plan early, if we can't take Yanzhou, we must recruit troops as soon as possible to get the world, although I don't know what Gongsun Yi has in mind, but Cao Cao's patience has reached the limit.

Gongsun Yi sat down, and also filled his wine glass for himself and chuckled: "It is true that if the Xiao cavalry army is hidden among the people of the brigade, you can take the opportunity to kill the state pastor Liu Dai to occupy Yanzhou, but although our army is here to avenge Qiao Mao, in fact, in the eyes of the scholars, it is just an excuse to seize Yanzhou." ”

"If we take the opportunity to take Yanzhou, the other princes can completely concoct the same method, and seek to seize Yanzhou under the pretext of avenging Liu Dai, this Yanzhou will inevitably be invaded by war, even if Brother Cao is not afraid, I am afraid that those scholars will also consider whether it is necessary to live and die with Yanzhou."

"What is the intention of the virtuous brother to send 100,000 people to Yanzhou?" Cao Cao asked with a little doubt, but he really couldn't figure out what Gongsun Yi wanted to do.

Gongsun Yi stepped forward, filled the wine glass for Cao Cao and continued: "100,000 people is not a small number, entering Yanzhou will inevitably lead to a chain reaction, and a group of powerful people will inevitably converge on the strength of these people for their own use, and they will quickly integrate into the land of Yanzhou and become the capital of these wealthy families." ”

"And Liu Dai, as the state pastor, must suspect that there is fraud in it, and will never allow these people who are very likely to hide our soldiers in Yanzhou to gain a foothold in Yanzhou, if Liu Dai makes a move, if he wants to strangle the danger, the only way is to expel all these people."

Cao Cao suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, and said in surprise: "This will definitely touch the interests of the Shi clan, and the Shi clan, who originally had a prejudice against Liu Dai, will inevitably rise up in groups to rebel against Liu Dai!" ”

"That's exactly the case, but Liu Dai, as a state pastor, has a high and powerful position, if those scholars rebel, it will be a rebellion, and if the new lord is set up to live in Yanzhou, this relationship can be subtly diluted."

Gongsun Yi paused slightly, looked at Cao Cao and said bluntly: "In fact, Yuan Shao, the alliance leader of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, is the most favorable contender for Yanzhou, but its roots are in Hebei, and seeking the land of Jizhou is the top priority, and now he has gone to Bohai County." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, agreeing with Gongsun Yi's analysis, only to hear Gongsun Yi continue: "At this time, Brother Cao is naturally the most suitable candidate to enter Yanzhou, if Liu Dai drives away the people, he will inevitably lose the support of the people, and the interests of the Zai clan will no longer be supported, and Yanzhou will naturally be at his fingertips." ”

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, this argument seems simple, but it takes into account all the causes and consequences, including that Liu Dai will kill Qiao Mao, and drive away the people, and even annoy the scholars, if all this really happens, doesn't it mean that Gongsun Yi has some unpredictable prophetic power.

If everything is not speculation, it can only show that Gongsun Yi's overall view is too terrible, and even Cao Cao, who has always been heroic, is jealous, but Cao Cao will not say these words, Gongsun Yi is not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he will inevitably dominate one side, but he just hopes that he will not face each other on the battlefield one day in the future.

*****

When Chen Gong reported to Liu Dai in the form of a letter to accept 100,000 people, Liu Dai was immediately angry and wanted to kill Chen Gong and others, who were suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and under the persuasion of the strategists around him, he finally gave up the idea of sending troops to kill Chen Gong and others.

However, Liu Dai immediately ordered Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others to be stripped of their official positions, and sent military talismans to order the border defenders to drive out all 100,000 people, and those who did not want to leave were killed on the spot.

As Gongsun Yi guessed, Liu Dai was very worried that these people were secretly hiding the cavalry soldiers, if they suddenly broke out, it would be difficult for the officers and soldiers of the county to resist, if Gongsun Yi led the army to enter, there would be many responders, and it would be out of control at that time.

Yanzhou is the place where Liu Dai'an was born, and it is related to the life of his family, how can he not be cautious, quickly change his mind, and immediately ordered to kill all the people who had just entered the city, regardless of age or young, in order to deter Gongsun Yi, as for those people who have been classified as local heroes, they were also ordered to be executed within three days, otherwise the scholars who took in them would be regarded as traitors.

As soon as Liu Dai's order came out of Yanzhou, the people who learned the news were panicked, for fear of being slaughtered inexplicably, and the resentment of Liu Dai, the state pastor, reached the peak for a while, and those scholars were unwilling to give up the immediate benefits, and Chen Gong and others were dismissed, which also made the officials in Yanzhou completely see Liu Dai's face.

They openly opposed Liu Dai, and in less than a day, Gongsun Yi received several letters from Tou Cheng, but they were completely negligible compared to Cao Cao's hundreds of letters, and the attitude of the Yanzhou scholars was already very clear, and they planned to welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou.

Under the greeting of Chen Gong and others, the brigade entered Juancheng without bloodshed, and in less than half a day, it was equivalent to occupying half of Yanzhou's territory, and some speculative soldiers waited for the results of the war.

Anyway, whether Cao Cao and Gongsun Yi win, or Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai wins, their interests can be guaranteed, and if they want to occupy Yanzhou, the support of Shiliu is indispensable, but they are very comfortable to wait and see the changes.

At the banquet to welcome Cao Cao, Gongsun Yi sat down and respected Cao Cao on the main seat, and all the scholars present finally relieved their hearts, if this young man who had not yet reached the crown ruled Yanzhou, it was better for them to govern it themselves.

Thinking of Gongsun Yi being named a first-class talent by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, they all instigated Gongsun to chant a poem, and Gongsun Yi did not shirk, and thought of a poem to fool everyone at will, and the words were heroic and catchy, which attracted a round of applause.

In private, Gongsun Yi took the opportunity to step forward and toast to Bao Xin, Bao Xin didn't expect that Gongsun Yi, who was a hussar general, would actually come, and would find that it was really disrespectful to sit like this, so he quickly got up and hugged his fists and said: "A moment of rudeness, ashamed, you should punish yourself with a cup!" Bao Xin said as he drank the wine.

Gongsun Yi sat down beside Bao Xin and said in a low voice: "Ben will have a reluctant request, and I ask General Bao to agree!" ”

Bao Xin hurriedly bowed and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Gongsun, please make it clear!" ”

Bao Xin was even more confused, Gongsun Yi not only came to toast, but also asked for something else, this is an unprecedented thing, although he had some disdain for Gongsun Yi's desire to seek Yanzhou before, and now the misunderstanding has been solved, thinking of Gongsun Yi's military exploits, he admired it for a while, if he can make Gongsun Yi owe favors, it is worth a thousand gold.

"I heard that General Bao has a chief under him, the son of my father's friend, if General Bao is willing, he will want to take this person away." Gongsun Yi tried to make his tone appear flat, as if it was mentioned in passing.

Gongsun Yi is naturally lying, the low-level officer Shi Chang under Bao Xin is not the son of a father and friend, but the left general Yu Ban, one of the five good generals of Cao Wei.

And when Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he was not recommended by others to use the ban, Yu Ban was just a small thing, it can be said that a good talent did not meet the master, since Cao Cao was given the opportunity to occupy Yanzhou in advance, then he also had to charge some interest, at least in the ban, Gongsun Yi is determined to take it away.

Bao Xin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Lord Gongsun is really joking, some small things, just pass it on, and the general will send him over immediately." ”

Gongsun Yi's face was calm, and his heart was already very excited, thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, this time it is a big profit, Gongsun Yi did not return to the barracks but went to see Cao Cao as soon as possible.

The good man did it to the end, sent the Buddha to the west, and robbed Cao Cao's Yu Ban, Gongsun Yi simply assigned 2,000 foot cavalry to Cao Cao, politely refused Cao Cao to stay, and led the remaining 3,000 infantry to ride war horses and go towards Qingzhou.

Three thousand ducks on the shelves of the infantry very embarrassed to ride horses, ten miles out of Juancheng loose formation, Gongsun Yi made a group of infantry familiar with the art of the horse, and he himself cooked wine, looking forward to the majestic Juancheng gate, quiet is equivalent to forbidden to come.
