Chapter 682: Gongsun Chan goes south
When Gongsun Chan got out that he was appointed and dismissed as the Taishou of Hanoi, he was completely stunned!
When he first heard the news, Gongsun Zhan's first reaction was to be tricked, and he was completely lying down! I honestly stayed in the easternmost part of Youzhou, and the horses and farms at the very edge of the Han Dynasty were all remembered, is there any reason for this!?
Grievance! Unwilling! And anger!
Gongsun Chan thought with his heels and knew that the person who could find him, a low-key and almost untoned person, from the grassland, seemed to have no one else except his neighbor Fang Zhiwen.
Liu Yu should be satisfied with the stability of Youzhou now, and now the Jizhou Yellow Turban Thief has signs of strength, Liu Yu is the time when he needs to defend against the Yellow Turban Thief with all his might, and he will definitely not come to smoke Gongsun Zhan's hind feet at this time, if Gongsun Chan is gone at this time, Youzhou will only be left with Fang Zhiwen and Liu Yu, according to the current strength comparison between the two sides, Liu Yu's fate is really worrying!
As for the other person who remembers Gongsun Zhan, I'm afraid it is Liu Bei, but when Gongsun Chan drove Liu Bei away, he almost didn't tear his face, so now Liu Bei will definitely not think of getting himself to the Central Plains to fight side by side with him out of any kindness, on the other hand, Liu Bei and Liu Yu are also a family!
Of course, other possibilities are not impossible, but Gongsun Chan still firmly believes that Fang Zhiwen is making trouble behind his back, wanting to get himself away from Liaodong, which is gradually improving, and then he will easily take away his own territory, this trick is really black enough!
It's just that the mountain of Liaodong County is far away from the emperor. Lao Tzu just doesn't obey the edict, what can the Son of Heaven do to help me? Even if it's really the other way around, what can it be?
Or is Fang Zhiwen's purpose to force himself to rebel, and then he has the righteous reputation of doing it to himself? However, in this realistic situation in Youzhou, do you really need to find any righteous name? In fact, it should be more important to obtain Liu Yu's approval!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan immediately understood that Liu Yu was the key to this matter, and Liu Yu was not a stupid person. How could he not know the impact on him after he left Youzhou! Therefore, Liu Yu will not agree with Fang Zhiwen's approach, so will Fang Zhiwen implement this strategy forcefully despite Liu Yu's opposition?
On the other hand. Although the center of gravity of Inhumans has shifted southward recently, and the degree of attention to Youzhou has been greatly weakened, Inhumans' strength in Youzhou is still quite strong. Once there is a three-way war in Youzhou, there is no reason why Yiren will not intervene, and Fang Zhiwen should also have some scruples!
So, isn't this Fang Zhiwen's handiwork? What is the intent of this edict? And who is behind it?
Gongsun Chan is confused!
Since he couldn't figure it out, Gongsun Chan decided to brainstorm, so he summoned all the major generals in Xiangping, and looked at the conference room, Gongsun Chan also had a sense of accomplishment.
Gongsun Zhan read out the edict sent by Yuan Shao to everyone, and then asked, "Everyone, for this edict." What do you think? ”
"Lord, this must be Fang Zhiwen's conspiracy, knowing that we will not accept the order, this is to force us to rebel1
Zou Dan's loud voice really rang out in the room, but his words won the approval of the generals. Everyone also looks like they have the same hatred for the enemy, all of them are full of fighting spirit, and they can't wait to be able to slash Fang Zhiwen with their hands, in fact, if they really let them fight against Fang Zhiwen, it is estimated that they will all shrink back!
Guan Jing stretched out his fingers and plucked his itchy ears. The corner of his eye looked at Gongsun Yue vigilantly, and found that Gongsun Yue was frowning and pondering, but he didn't make trouble with these stupid generals.
Gongsun Zhan frowned, raised his hand and pressed it weakly: "Be quiet, speak slowly, I know your opinion." Shiqi, what do you think about this? ”
"My lord, do you also think this is a conspiracy?"
"I thought the same way at first, but the more I thought about it, the more strange this matter became, and I thought I should communicate with Liu Bo'an."
The generals immediately closed their mouths, as if this matter was not as simple as they imagined, and it was not good to talk nonsense.
Guan Jing nodded, turned his head to look at Gongsun Fan and said, "What news does the second general have?" ”
"There were no large-scale military movements in Fengning County and Changli County, and it was strange that the Central Plains had received information that the appointment was supposed to have come from Yuan Shao's handwriting, and that the Central Plains clan seemed to have agreed.1
Guan Jing nodded again, indicating that he understood, and then turned to Gongsun Zan and said: "Liu Yu did not take the initiative to contact the lord, that is because Liu Yu is inconvenient to express his position, in Liu Yu's selfish opinion, it should be that he hopes that the lord will stay in Liaodong and fight against Fang Zhiwen with him, but in general terms, Liu Yu should support the lord to go south to the Central Plains." ”
Gongsun Zhan frowned puzzled: "Righteousness? ”
"Yes, righteousness! The righteousness between the imperial power and the world, the causes of the battle of the Central Plains have been discussed many times, and the world has also discussed it, most people tend to be this a collision between the Son of Heaven and the world, the Son of Heaven lost, but in the end it was taken advantage of by Dong Zhuo, after losing the biggest threat to the imperial power, the family camp split, and the Guanzhong family turned to support Dong Zhuo against the more powerful Kanto family. ”
Gongsun Chan naturally knew about this, even if he didn't know, just ask the people around him, it seems that everyone can say a word about the affairs of the Central Plains, and Gongsun Chan later learned that these opinions were spread from Yiren.
"Now Dong Zhuo is defeated and retreats from Guanzhong, accumulating strength, sitting and watching the collapse of the Kwantung clan, Yuan Shaobing retreats to Jizhou, although Yuan Shu controls Kanto and Yuzhou, but there are Ding Yuan and Han Fu in the north, and Liu Bei in the south is not the same heart, and at this time, some people proposed to let the lord go south to take charge of Hanoi, which is equivalent to inserting a shield between Ding Yuan, Han Fu and the Kanto clan. On the other hand, tracing back to the origins, the lord should barely be regarded as a person from the clan camp, so it is easier for the lord to be accepted when he takes charge of Hanoi. More importantly, Yuan Shao needs the lord to stir up trouble for the Central Plains, and at the same time can contain Yuan Shao's great enemy Han Fu, interfere with Yuan Shu's control of Si Li, and block Ding Yuan's southward movement, there are so many benefits, I really can't think of a reason why Yuan Shao doesn't need the lord 1
Guan Jing's words seemed to tear apart the misty sunlight and brighten Gongsun Zhan's eyes.
"Shiqi is saying, this matter is actually what Yuan Shao meant?"
"Not necessarily, or it was an idea that Yuan Shao and Fang Zhiwen came up with together, after all, if the lord went south, the huge Liaodong and Xuanwu would be cheaper than Fang Zhiwen1
"How is it possible, we can leave the troops stationed, can we...... Yan Gang immediately retorted, but the last sentence couldn't go on, Gongsun Zhan's strength was not strong enough to divide his troops to defend the three counties, not to mention, Hanoi County was a place of four battles, and he couldn't hold it at all without heavy troops, of course, Gongsun Chan could also choose not to go to Hanoi.
But compared with Hanoi, the northeast and east of Liaodong are bitterly cold wilderness, the south and west are watched by Fang Zhiwen to death, and there is no development at all, and even Fang Zhiwen can clean up Gongsun Zan and his gang at any time as long as he is willing.
Therefore, now Hanoi County seems to be a dangerous place, but it is also a place of freedom, a place where Gongsun Chan can give full play, even if he is defeated, there are more places to choose and move, compared to Liaodong County, it is really a world of difference!
"My lord, it is impossible to divide the troops and defend them, you can only concentrate your forces in order to make a difference, and at this time, it is most important to look forward and backward 1
Guan Jing glanced at Yan Gang and said in a sonorous voice.
"Big brother, I agree with Shiqi's statement, we must have a decision." Gongsun Yue surprisingly did not choke with Guan Jing, but agreed with Guan Jing's statement, which made Guan Jing feel flattered, but Guan Jing was still very vigilant, Gongsun Yue was definitely not a generous person.
"Oh? How do you think the third brother should choose? ”
"Big brother, to put it mildly, although it is my own territory in Liaodong, but the east, west and south of Liaodong are blocked by Fang Zhiwen, there is no room for development, if it is to the northeast, there is a bitter cold land, the soldiers of Liaodong are conscientious, but they are just surviving, if Fang Zhiwen exerts his strength, I am afraid we will not be able to stop Miyun's cavalry."
Gongsun Zhan's face was a little ugly, but Gongsun Yue was indeed telling the truth, the combined population of the two counties of Xuanwu in eastern Liaodong was less than two million, and they were distributed over a vast area, the degree of development in these areas was very low, and they could not be self-sufficient in food, let alone compete with Fang Zhiwen for hegemony.
On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen, not only has a population of more than four million, but also the population continues to grow, plus Fang Zhiwen controls the sea and land trade in the south, and the trade in the north also occupies the lion's head, after these years of hard work, although the development area of the Miyun series is not large, but the development degree of each city is very high, it is said that now Lelang has been able to self-sufficien in grain, and can also deliver grain to Fengning, plus cheap grain purchased from the southern sea route, Fang Zhiwen is strong, Gongsun Chan already felt that he had no hope of victory.
"Therefore, I think we should choose to go south, although Hanoi County is a dangerous place, but there is no rope around our necks, we have more room to play, with the elite soldiers in our hands, it should not be a problem to fight against the old soldiers of the Central Plains, so, maybe we can lay a new world in the Central Plains."
Gongsun Yue finished his thoughts in one breath, and then looked at Gongsun Chan quietly, waiting for Gongsun Chan's decision.
Gongsun Zan turned his gaze to Guan Jing, Guan Jing didn't dare to mess around at this time, this is the time to decide his fate, if he abandons his personal affairs because of personal grievances with Gongsun Yue, Guan Jing will not dare.
"I agree with the three generals."
Gongsun Chan nodded silently, frowning and deep thought, this is a decision related to fate, he has to be cautious! rs! ~!
