Chapter Eighty-Nine: All Parties Gather
In the living room, Xun Yu sitted in tea, waiting for Gongsun Yi's reply, Gongsun Yi thought back and forth and thought about it for a while, and it was difficult to make a decision, according to Xun Yu's statement, he neither agreed with Gongsun Xiushu to tell Han Fu Yuan Shao's plan to occupy Jizhou, nor did he agree with Chen Bing's border.
It is recommended that Gongsun Yi repair a letter, suggesting that Gongsun Chan should not raise troops to plan for Jizhou, as long as Gongsun Chan does not send troops, Han Fu will not enable Yuan Shao as a guest, then it is impossible for Yuan Shao to easily occupy Jizhou, if Jizhou is internally consumed, or even completely collapsed, it will be of great benefit to both Gongsun Yi and Cao Cao.
It's just that what makes Gongsun Yi difficult to decide is that repairing the book may not have any effect, and it will make Gongsun Chan think that Gongsun Yi will take over the power and oppress people, but it will be on his head, and it is very likely that Gongsun Yi will not be able to return to Youzhou to fight for the inheritance.
It's just that if he doesn't tell him, Gongsun Chan will definitely attack Jizhou with Yuan Shao as in history, Han Fu is afraid that Gongsun Yi can only use Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to control Jizhou and put Jizhou Mu Han Fu in the air, which is the last thing Gongsun Yi wants to see.
"Mr. Xun, isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"Lord Gongsun, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and please make a decision early, and there will be changes later." Xun Yu hugged his fists and said very firmly.
In fact, Xun Yu still has reservations, although Gongsun Yi has a very good relationship with the lord Cao Cao, and Xun Yu also knows about saving people in the county jail, but now the cavalry is strong and strong, and it has broken the Yellow Turban thieves and gathered more than 100,000 people.
Coupled with the occupation of the rich land of Beihai and the support of the Confucian family, the old scholar clan in Beihai, the hussar general Gongsun Yi has occupied Qingzhou, and his power is even above the lord Cao Cao.
The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and now Gongsun Yi is still young, if he holds the power alone for a long time, it is difficult to say that he will not be the enemy of the lord Cao Cao in the future, although when Cao Cao sent Xun Yu to come, he instructed him to make every effort to plan, but for Xun Yu, seeing Yuan Shao and Gongsun Yi both defeated is the best ending.
The most important thing is to find a way to let Cao Cao occupy Jizhou, even if he can't enter Jizhou, whether it is Gongsun Yi or Yuan Shao, he can't get Jizhou's strength, Xun Yu is selfish, but compared to Yuan Shao's victory, at least Gongsun Yi, an ally at this stage, is better than a miserable victory.
The reason why Xun Yu instigated Gongsun Yi to write a letter to Ling Zun, and suggested that Chen Bing should not be at the border at this time, was indeed to let Gongsun Yi get Gongsun Zhan's help in a short time, if Gongsun Yi and Gongsun Chan sent troops from Qingzhou and Youzhou at the same time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would not be able to accept it even if he stayed in Jizhou.
Gongsun Yi didn't know Xun Yu's thoughts, and after going back and forth, he decided to repair a book according to Xun Yu's words, and tried to repair a book to Gongsun Chan in a tactful tone, saying frankly that this was the first time Gongsun Yi wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan.
At the beginning, it was because of Gongsun Yishu's identity, which was not enough to be seen at all, not to mention that the generals and strategists around Gongsun Chan had a lot of disgust with Gongsun Yi, but now it is different, Gongsun Yi is a hussar general, and it stands to reason that his status is much higher than that of Gongsun Chan, and the words in the letter are repeatedly considered and cautious, for fear of offending Gongsun Yi.
Under the leadership of Gongsun Yi, Xun Yu followed to the camp of the Xiao Cavalry Army, only to see that the Xiao Cavalry Army was neat and powerful, and it was really rare to have a strong army, especially the generals of the leading army and Tian Yu made Xun Yu admire.
It's just that Xun Yu thought that he had a high opinion of Gongsun Yi in his heart, but he didn't expect that his subordinates were all extraordinary, if it weren't for the fact that there were no effective strategists under his command now, Xun Yu would probably consider advising Cao Cao to get rid of Gongsun Yi as soon as possible, otherwise he would inevitably raise a tiger.
Gongsun Yi set up a banquet for Xun Yu, and soon said goodbye and left, Gongsun Yi sighed in his heart that Wang Zuozhicai was already loyal to others, and Xun Yu became more and more jealous of Gongsun in his heart, and regarded him as the most dangerous competitor of the lord Cao Cao, so he could only say that he had his own thoughts.
Gongsun Yi looked at the map in the study, thinking about Xun Yu's plan, Xun Yu suggested that Gongsun Yi and Yuan Shao communicate more, which would inevitably attract Han Fu's attention, as long as he sent more letters, as long as he vaguely mentioned that he had joined forces to plot Qingzhou, Han Fu naturally had doubts about Yuan Shaohui.
When Gongsun Yi asked Xun Yu how to deal with his father Gongsun Zan if he didn't listen to the advice and insisted on sending troops to Jizhou, Xun Yu just said that as long as he waited and watched the changes, he must not send troops at the same time, otherwise he would give Yuan Shao the opportunity to take the position, not only could not help Gongsun Zhan, but would turn against him, Gongsun Yi was convinced of Xun Yu's words, so he ordered the whole army to be reorganized and not to go out lightly.

In Jizhou City, Han Fu didn't think about tea and dinner these days, it turned out that Han Yuan Shao came a few days ago, took out the letter sent by Gongsun Zhan, and said very sadly that Gongsun Chan wanted to take Jizhou, although he was a guest, but he didn't want Jizhou to fall into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and hoped that Han Fu would let him lead the troops to fight against Gongsun Zhan.
Han Fu was a little hesitant, first sent Yuan Shao back, and immediately gathered his strategists to discuss the plan, Han Fu repeated Yuan Shao's words, and his generals and strategists were full of righteous indignation, claiming that this was just Yuan Shao's strategy, and he must not be gullible, and some people even suggested that compared to Gongsun Zan who was like a wolf and a tiger, Yuan Shao, who is now living in Jizhou, is the real biggest danger.
However, the frustration present stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, Gongsun Chan can be described as a jackal, although his soldiers are brave, but Jizhou is dangerous and the people are abundant, as long as the city is besieged and defended, and its grain and grass are cut off, and then Liu Yu, the Youzhou Mu who is at odds with Gongsun Chan, sends troops to attack, Gongsun Chan will be defeated!" ”
"Lord, Yuan Shao is the tiger, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the place, especially in this Jizhou land, the scholars are mostly on Yuan Shao's side, and more people are just watching the fire from the other side, and the lower officials think that they should take advantage of the fact that Gongsun Zan has not yet arrived, and take the lead in killing Yuan Shao, slaughtering the rebel scholars, and the remaining scholars will inevitably fall in the wind!"
"In the scholar's opinion, Yuan Benchu is the leader of the Kwantung Righteous Army, how can he move lightly, but you want to trap me in injustice?"
"If the lord is unwilling to strike first, he can also make Yuan Shao stick to the Bohai Sea and not leave easily, so as to ensure the stability of Jizhou!"
"Yuan Benchu is a distinguished guest of the pastor of Benzhou, how can he be easily driven, you wait to retreat first, let me think twice." Han Fu was a little annoyed, this don't be frustrated, he will only come up with some bad ideas to trap him in injustice, and he waved his hand to let everyone disperse in anger.
Fu Zhi sighed secretly, Han Fu didn't have to use his strategy, he didn't know that Yuan Shao was the real tiger wolf, and he would eventually lead to the disaster of killing, Fu Zhi was disheartened, but he could only be careful to guard against Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Yi's letter was soon sent to Youzhou, Gongsun Chan convened everyone to discuss in the court, and passed Gongsun Yi's letter to everyone, in fact, these days Gongsun Chan is also thinking about whether to lead the troops to go out and take the opportunity to occupy Jizhou, but Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is really in trouble, if he takes advantage of his troops to attack, I am afraid that the foundation will be uprooted.
Guan Jing got up and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the hussar general is really well-intentioned, and he has begun to plan for the future of the lord, I'm afraid that when he returns, everyone will bow down and obey his orders!" ”
Yan Gang got up and said: "My lord, what the second prince said is cautious, but it is only clear that in the current form, Yuan Shao is capricious, although he is the leader of the alliance, he is disappointed by the world, if our department attacks Jizhou, Yuan Shao will definitely take the opportunity to occupy Jizhou, I am afraid that we will only work in vain." ”
"No, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, since he leads by letter, he will naturally not be treacherous, the lord is ordered to attack Jizhou, it is the division of justice, if Liu Yu leads the troops to attack, he will inevitably be hated by the world."
Guan Jing stroked his beard and walked back and forth, hugged his fist to Gongsun Zhan and continued: "Take a step back, even if Yuan Shao only uses the lord to send troops and take the opportunity to seize Jizhou, with my Youzhou soldiers in a hundred battles, defeating Yuan Shao is not a hand-to-hand capture, if Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, the lord can lead the army to attack Jizhou on the grounds of saving Han Fu, if he occupies Jizhou, let the second son give up Qingzhou, and then defeat Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, you can be proud of the world." ”
Guan Jing is also selfish, when Gongsun Yi left home, he hated him for instigating him to go to Luoyang, Kyoto as a proton, and ordered the servants to sprinkle dog blood in front of Guan Jing's mansion, slaughter chickens and burn yellow paper, in order to get rid of bad luck, so angry that Guan Jing almost turned his back on his back.
Now that Gongsun Yi occupies Qingzhou, Guan Jing is afraid that Gongsun Yi will retaliate, how can he be at ease, and Guan Jing has always supported the eldest prince Gongsun Xu, so he will naturally try his best to oppose Gongsun Yi's opinion, but he doesn't know that for his own selfish interests, the whole situation will fall into passivity.
