Chapter 143 Provocate, smear!
When the lieutenant stationed in Quanzhou City sent out an urgent report that might cause a conflict between Gongsun Zhan and Liu Yu, he would never have thought that the final result of this fateful military report would be a weight that he could not bear in his life.
Before this military report arrived in Nanpi, go back three months.
Three months ago, Gongsun Ji sent an envoy to Nanpi on behalf of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and not only met Gongsun Zhan, but also Jian Yong, who was sent by Liu Bei as a lobbyist.
Gongsun Ji and Gongsun Chan have long hooked up, and they are bent on helping Gongsun Chan defeat Liu Yu. In fact, if it weren't for a bad boy coming out of nowhere, Liu Yu would indeed have been killed by this goods later.
History: Liu Yu entangled 100,000 people to attack Gongsun Zhan. Before leaving, he engaged in Cheng Xu's dissuasion, and was beheaded by Liu Yu. Liu Yu warned the soldiers before setting out: "Don't hurt too many people, just kill Gongsun Zhan." Liu Yu's subordinates were engaged in Gongsun Ji, and they were treated favorably by Gongsun Chan because of the same surname, so they went to Gongsun Chan at night to denounce Liu Yu's plan. At that time, Gongsun Zhan's main forces were scattered all over the place, and he felt that he could not resist Liu Yu, so he planned to flee.
As a result, Liu Yu's soldiers were not good at fighting, and cherished the people's houses, and Liu Yu ordered the soldiers not to burn the city, so after surrounding the city where Gongsun Chan was hiding, he couldn't capture it for a while. Gongsun Chan then gathered hundreds of elite warriors, set fire to the wind, and took advantage of the situation to raid. Liu Yu was defeated and fled north to Juyong County. Gongsun Zhan pursued, fell in the city on three days, captured Liu Yu, and still let him be a puppet to manage the affairs of the state.
Later, the imperial court sent an envoy Duan Xun to increase Liu Yu's fiefdom and let Liu Yu take charge of the affairs of the six northern states! Gongsun Zhan bought Duan Xun, took the opportunity to worship as a former general, sealed Yihou, and supervised You, He, Qing, and Hebei Prefectures on a fake basis. Gongsun Zhan also framed Liu Yu for conspiring with Yuan Shao to become emperor, and coerced the coercion Duan Xun to behead Liu Yu and send the head to the capital, where he was robbed and buried by Liu Yu's former official Wei Dun halfway.
If Liu He did not return to Youzhou at this time, and took the initiative to carry the banner of strong military warfare for his father, or the next story would return to the original historical trajectory.
Gongsun Ji's first sentence after seeing Gongsun Zhan was not to question Zhang Fei about killing the official, but to say with a sad face: "The ears, eyes and eyeliner arranged by the general in Jicheng have all been broken by the Liu family's children, so I can't pass on a lot of important news to you!" ”
Gongsun Chan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Gongsun Ji for details.
Gongsun Ji carefully told Gongsun Chan about Liu He's return to Jicheng and Zhao Cai teaming up to "cheat dad", Gongsun Chan didn't speak for a long time after listening to it, but Guan Jing, the long history next to him, said: "I really can't believe that this Liu family child has such a deep scheming!" ”
Gongsun Ji added fuel and vinegar and said: "This Liu family child is very cunning and vicious, he not only plays tricks to buy people's hearts, but also often speaks ill of the general in front of people, and asks the people around him to beware of the general everywhere and prepare to confront the general!" ”
"What? Did he really say such a thing? Gongsun Chan was furious.
"It's true! The general may not know that the Liu family child deceived you by tricks, lured that Zhao Yun to the front of him, and became his entourage! This Zhao Yun is so powerful, he has seen his feat of riding alone into thousands of armies and breaking the enemy's courage with one shout! ”
"This Zhao Yun actually has such skills?" Gongsun Chan couldn't believe his ears.
"Not only is this Zhao Yun powerful, but Xiahou Lan, who left from the general's camp later, is not ......simple," Gongsun Ji then carefully told Gongsun Zhan about his journey to Macheng with Xiahou Lan.
After listening to Gongsun Ji's description of foaming at the mouth, Gongsun Chan suddenly felt like he was being calculated. He finally understands now that it was not Liu He who stupidly used An Pingguo to exchange Zhao Yun with him, but in fact, he stupidly fell into Liu He's trap!
"This child of the Liu family plays with people's hearts, is insidious and cunning, and does not behave properly!" Gongsun Chan scolded hatefully.
"Mr. Gongsun, this time Liu Yu sent you to Nanpi, but for Zhang Yide's killing of officials in Zhuo County?" Guan Jing asked Gongsun Ji to divert Gongsun Zhan's attention.
"It's for this purpose. Here is a letter written by Liu Yu Lao'er to the general, you will know it if you have read it. As he spoke, Gongsun Ji took out the letter and presented it to Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Yu's letter, his face became darker and darker, and when he reached the end, he directly threw the silk silk with handwriting on the ground.
"Hmph, Liu Bo'an, this old horseman, do you still think it was in the past? General Ben was named the Marquis of Ji by the imperial court, and his territory was in Jicheng, but now he occupies it, and he even asked me in the letter if I wanted to rebel! ”
Guan Jing also echoed and said: "Liu Yu Lao'er doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, it is obviously Liu Xuande's brother who did it, how can it involve the general!" ”
When Gongsun Ji heard Guan Jing mention Liu Bei, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and said: "There is also a handwritten letter here, which was written by Liu Bo'an to Liu Xuande, and the wording was very fierce, asking the three brothers of Xuande to go to Zhuo County to pay their filial piety!" ”
Gongsun Zhan snatched the letter written by Liu Yu to Liu Bei, quickly read it, and then threw it to the ground, and said angrily: "How can this be true! Liu Yu's subordinates bullied the Zhang family first, why didn't he deal with it? Zhang Yide led the army back to Zhuo County to kill the officials, but it was also caused by the persecution of Xian Yuyin, why should he hang his filial piety in front of the grave of the killed person! ”
Guan Jing then suggested: "General, seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is better to put this matter aside for the time being." After a while, it will naturally be gradually forgotten by people. It is not easy for Mr. Gongsun to come to Nanpi, so it is better to entertain him well and let him return to Jicheng a few days later. ”
Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "It should be so!" Come on, arrange the best room for Mr. Gongsun, and settle down! ”
Gongsun Ji then stayed in Nanpi City, and was not in a hurry to return to Jicheng to reply to Liu Yu. He can now see that he has a tendency to be gradually alienated and replaced under Liu Yu, especially after Liu He recruited young people such as Li Yan, Liu Fang and Xu Miao into the mansion, the speed of these young people's rise is too fast, and it has directly threatened his position.
Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Nanpi, just to provoke the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu and reduce the impact of Zhang Fei's troubles.
On the one hand, Jian Yong sent someone to send the news back to Xindu, and on the other hand, he continued to grind in Nanpi, inviting people around Gongsun Chan to drink and have fun from time to time, and asking everyone to help Liu Bei say good things in front of Gongsun Chan, while continuing to "smear" Liu Yu's father and son.
Not long after, Liu Bei personally went to Nanpi and pleaded guilty to Gongsun Zhan, claiming that because he did not discipline his brother well, he ended up causing serious trouble to General Gongsun. Liu Bei also cried and asked Gongsun Zhan to tie him up, and then hand it over to Gongsun Ji to take back to Jicheng, and he was willing to accept any punishment from Master Taifu instead of Zhang Fei.
Gongsun Zhan's heart was already panicked, and when he saw that Liu Bei was so afraid of Liu Yu, he was even more angry, so he reprimanded Liu Bei.
Gongsun Chan said: "You are the plain minister I personally appointed, and your brother-in-law Zhang Yide is my subordinate, he made a mistake, and the person who came forward to bear it is naturally me!" Liu Yu is not strict, conniving at his subordinates Xian Yuyin rampant in the township first, Zhang Yide killed people later, there is nothing to pursue in this matter at all! You return to the letter to run peace for me, and don't worry about other things! ”
Liu Bei thanked Gongsun Zhan for a good time, and then left Nanpi with tears in his eyes.
At this time, the news of Liu He's defeat at Yunqiushui had spread all over Jizhou, and the "Naxian Notice" that he had people posted everywhere also appeared under Nanpi City.
In the "truth" carefully concocted by Liu Weitai, Liu He, the originally witty and brave eldest son, became a timid and fearful of death and a guy who sold his reputation, Kebineng was actually defeated by Yan Rou, but Liu He took the opportunity to take away the Guangning City where Yan Rou stored grain and grass when Yan Rou and Kebineng were in a decisive battle, and forced Yan Rou, who had made great achievements, back to Baishan afterwards.
Gongsun Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he immediately sent people to start spreading all kinds of bad words about Liu He in the territory under his control. Think about it, since Gongsun Chan was able to frame Liu Yu in the history books, it is not surprising that people are now spreading rumors to slander Liu He.
So, there were rumors that Liu He was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the emperor sent him to Jingzhou, but after Liu He left Wuguan, he fled north and returned to Youzhou, ignoring the emperor's entrustment, which was not done by human ministers.
Some people spread rumors that Liu He was cruel and murderous, and just after returning to Jicheng, he eliminated dissidents in the name of purging spies, and killed many innocent officials and people who were unwilling to obey his orders in Jicheng!
Some people rumored that Liu He was unbearable, and he didn't even let go of Zhao Cai's sister, and when Liu Yu was fighting on the front line, he often went in and out of the east courtyard where Liu Yu's concubine lived and did some despicable deeds that turned people upside down.
In short, it is all kinds of "black", each of which sounds like Liu He is "terrible", and everyone should be punished!
Although the rumors stop at the wise, but after all, there are only a few smart people in the world, especially ordinary people, in the era of closed news, they are simply following the public opinion misleading of all kinds of well-intentioned people, when they heard about Liu He's various "scandals", not only continued to spread to the outside world, but also marked the eldest prince who had never met in their hearts as heinous.
The reason why these rumors are so nose and eye is naturally due to the credit of Gongsun Ji. This guy has heard a lot of things about Liu He in Jicheng, and has seen some of Liu He's actions with his own eyes, so as long as he processes it a little, it will become a realistic rumor.
When the hard-working eldest prince took his subordinates to stand at the city gate in the Great Spring Month, rumors about him were spreading wildly in Jizhou, and it seemed that there were also people in the territory controlled by Yuan Shao who were smearing Liu He at the same time, and some new rumors about Liu He were also released one after another.
For example, in the latest version of the rumor, someone blamed Liu He for the Great Civil Rebellion that occurred in Nanyang, saying that he was the one who instigated the people to rise up to kill officials and rebel, in order to cover up his crime of quietly fleeing back to Youzhou.
Some people also say that Liu He coveted the territory of Jizhou and secretly provoked the fight between Han Fu and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, but the person who sat back to collect the profits was he Liu He!
It can be said that since these negative news began to spread, Liu He's "Recruiting Notice" sent to various places has become the best negative example of Lu, not only can it not play the role of good, but it is used to talk about things and attack.
