Chapter 604: Temptation
Beiping Taishou Mansion.
Gongsun Chan stood by the window, looking at the lotus pond in the pond outside, and fell into deep thought.
Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou, under the pretext that Jizhou was surrendered to Han Fu, which was not the result of the attack of the Beiping army, and blatantly overturned the previous agreement with him to "divide Jizhou equally".
Gongsun Zhan understood that he was being used, and he could even roughly guess Yuan Shao's thoughts.
Yuan Shao is the master of Guanasean, with unparalleled momentum, and his strength has increased sharply after getting Jizhou, and it is no longer the weather of the past. Yuan Shao must have thought that even if he relied on Beiping's share, he might not dare to hold him accountable for breaking his promise, and wanted to let himself swallow this bitter fruit. But when did Gongsun Chan suffer from this kind of wretchedness? How is it possible to pinch your nose and admit to being teased? If you retreat like this, how can you be worthy of the Beiping sergeant who died in the Battle of Dongguang?
Yuan Shao did the first year of junior high school, and he did fifteen!
The Beiping Army is preparing for war in an all-round way, preparing to march into Jizhou and compete with Yuan Shao.
Gongsun Chan knew what this decision meant.
It means that he has since broken with the so-called Guanasean lord, and it means that he must fight Jizhou, which is known as "the world's heavy capital", with the strength of a county in Beiping. Jizhou's money, grain, population and products are far better than those of Beiping, and Yuan Shao's family background is not comparable to him, but he is fearless.
The battle-hardened Beiping Army is where Gongsun Zhan's confidence lies!
A gust of footsteps and wind came from far and near.
There is no need to look back, Gongsun Chan also knows that the person who came is Yan Gang, and he is very familiar with this general.
Yan Gang walked in quickly: "My lord, are you looking for me?" ”
"Well, how are the troops preparing?"
"The grain and grass are in place, and the troops can set off at any time."
Gongsun Chan nodded, a look of approval on his face.
Yan Gang is the number one general under his account, and he is good at commanding troops, and the Beiping Army is an iron-blooded division that has been in battle for a long time, but he has made all the combat preparations so quickly, which is enough to see that the mobilization ability of the Beiping Army is extraordinary.
The elite level of the Beiping Army has reached the highest level, a real elite army!
Gongsun Zan asked again: "What about Jizhou, is there any news from the scouts?" ”
"Knowing that we are determined to go to war, the people in Jizhou are panicked and panicked."
Yan Gang continued: "In the past, in order to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Han Assassin Shi temporarily ceded Bohai County to Yuan Shao to raise troops, and the Bohai Navy also relied on Jizhou Mansion to receive help, Yuan Shao should have been grateful, but Yuan Shao not only refused to leave, but also used trickery to take the entire Jizhou, and sealed the history of Han Assassin A martial general is in vain, with no soldiers and no official subordinates, and it is clearly overhead, so many people in Jizhou sympathize with Han Assassin History.
Yuan Shao has been in Jizhou for a short time, and has not yet fully digested the territory, he became a pastordial dove in Shangzhou to occupy the magpie's nest, and the position is not correct, and many of Han Thorn's original subordinates are unwilling. Hearing that our army wanted to go south, many people were eager to respond to the Beiping army, Yuan Shao had a big headache about this, and it was said that he intended to cut out some territory to calm the anger of our army. ”
Gongsun Chan sneered: "Now he is willing to cut the land......"
Yan Gang wisely did not answer, and said that the Jizhou Mansion ceded land and sued for peace was just a rumor, even if it was true, whether to accept it or not, whether to continue to use troops, it was also Lord Taishou's idea, and he only had to implement it.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!"
Yan Gang knew that Gongsun Zan had made up his mind, and war with Yuan Shao was inevitable.
"There's one more thing for you to do."
Yan Gang bowed and said solemnly: "Please command." ”
"A few days ago, Feiyu led the little brother Qu over and waited for a banquet with me, remember that you were there at that time, right?"
"Yes."
"Little Brother Qu is brave, he dared to trouble the Xianbei cavalry with a group of infantry back then, I appreciate it very much, but he has a brotherhood with the lord, and he can't be used by me, and I regret it very much. When Junior Brother Qu came before, I also proposed that I wanted to make friends with the Flying Fish Lord, so that Junior Brother Qu could help me, nominally to prepare for war with Yuan Shao, but in fact there was also a temptation......"
Yan Gang raised his head suddenly: "My lord, are you worried, the Flying Fish Leader has a close relationship with Yuan Shao?" ”
After a dispute with the Black Mountain Army in Bohai County, the Bohai Taishou Mansion came forward to negotiate with Zhang Yan and brokered a peace agreement. It's a pity that the Montenegrin Army refused to comply, and the repeated breaches of contract angered the Flying Fish Leader, and sent a surprise attack force to take the old nest of the Kushan Army, which eventually led to a big war between the Montenegrin Army and Jizhou and the surrounding princes.
This matter involved many princes and had a great impact, and the Beiping Army was also very clear about this matter.
In order to protect himself, the Flying Fish Leader once sent cavalry to fight side by side with the Bohai Navy, and the cavalry commander was Qu Chen.
It is not difficult to see from all kinds of signs that the relationship between Feiyuling and Yuan Shao is extraordinary.
Now that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao are incompatible, and the contradiction has intensified to the point that it is necessary to make a decision through war, Gongsun Chan knows that Yuan Shao is not easy to deal with, so he will naturally try his best to increase his own strength and weaken his opponent. The origin of the Flying Fish Leader is mysterious, but the combat power of the army is extremely impressive, not only there are fierce generals like Qu Chen, but the Flying Fish Sailor also made a splash some time ago, which makes people have to re-examine the strength of the Flying Fish Army.
Gongsun Zhan expressed his willingness to make friends with the Flying Fish Lord so that Qu Chen could cooperate with the Beiping Army as a friendly army, but he actually wanted to test the attitude of the Flying Fish Lord. The incident of the Black Mountain Army shows that the relationship between Feiyu Ling and Yuan Shao is quite good, but the friendship between Qu Chen and Gongsun Chan is not fake, and Youbeiping also helped the caravan recommended by Feiyuling to carry out the war horse trade smoothly, and the personal relationship and public interests are not bad, and Qu Chen came to Youbeiping at this sensitive time, Gongsun Chan believes that at least Feiyuling has no intention of becoming Youbeiping's enemy.
Gongsun Zhan admired Qu Chen very much, and did not plan to ask for the flying fish collar with "either friend or foe".
But he needs a clear statement: even if Feiyu Ling doesn't dare to offend Yuan Shao, the two don't help each other, right?
At the banquet, he tried several times, but Qu Chen never gave a clear message.
He soon discovered that Qu Chen was not deliberately avoiding the key question, but he didn't realize it at all!
Gongsun Chan couldn't cry or laugh, this kid was still too young and lacked political awareness.
Qu Chen's "sluggishness" is not just that he is young and inexperienced, he has been away from Jizhou for several months, staying in the Hetao area for a long time, almost isolated from the outside world. When I came back, I only knew that Gongsun Zhan had won a great victory in Dongguang and brought some gifts to have a good relationship, Yuan Shao became a pastor of Jizhou or only heard about it in Youbeiping, and I didn't realize that Brother Gongsun was waiting for him to make a statement......
So there was the little banquet that followed, and the more explicit temptation.
Gongsun Zhan didn't expect it, and didn't ask the answer, but learned that the Flying Fish Leader was building a stronghold in Hetao. He knew very well what kind of place Hetao was, the Flying Fish Leader was building a stronghold there, and he had to watch out for the Qianghu cavalry at all times, the pressure was great, and it was impossible to have the spare strength to mix the conflict between him and Yuan Shao.
Gongsun Zhan said: "The following is confidential: Junior Brother Qu told me that the Flying Fish Leader has secretly built a stronghold in Hetao and has fought against Qianghu, and I promise to send some troops to support. We are about to fight, and the Beiping army should not move, so you can pick some people from Jizhou Yicong, who recently defected to us, and send them over. ”
"No."
"Remember to let them go to the Flying Fish Collar in civilian clothes, so as not to be hated by Yuan Shao."
"Okay."
