Chapter Ninety-Three: Reverse Arrangement
It can be seen that Gongsun Chan and his subordinates are a little complacent at the moment.
"When I occupy the state governor's mansion and clear those eyesore, I will promote you to a high position and help me completely control the entire state capital......"
Gongsun Chan said to cronies like Guan Jing around him.
However, as soon as he stepped into the city gates, he frowned.
"What's the matter, the people of the city, why haven't they come out?"
Obviously, this guy doesn't know what an empty city plan is, and he doesn't know that it can actually be used in reverse.
After discovering that some of the soldiers and horses who had taken refuge in the city were greeted by them, there were only a few old people who were cleaning the streets, and Gongsun Zhan, who wanted to show off, was immediately angry.
Just kidding, as a son who is not taken seriously, it was not easy to climb from the position of a small official to today's high position, and he got such a great opportunity.... can steal the power of a state without spending a single soldier, and not many people come to congratulate and witness, how can Gongsun Zhan, who is about to come true, feel comfortable. Especially when he was about to show off his might when he was about to enter the city, he found that there was no reliable audience, all of them were old people who didn't know how many days they had to live.
It's like being rich and not returning to his hometown, just like walking in brocade at night, when he is in an unhappy mood, he even raises his voice a few degrees.
It's a pity that this is still an arrangement from Nanshan.
In order to let Gongsun Chan ignore some things that were wrong in the process, he deliberately made some targeted arrangements according to the other party's personality.
"Lord Hui, it's not that we don't want to ask people to come out to greet us, it's that in recent days, there has been chaos and conflicts in the city, and the people don't dare to come out casually, so as not to harm the pond fish. In addition, just a few days after the death of Lord Zhoumu, the whole city mourned, if someone deliberately collided with the adult without anger, it would not be beautiful......"
The military general who came to answer explained with a wry smile, and as he spoke, he pointed to the houses with white sails hanging on the side of the street.
Gongsun Chan noticed the environment in the city from the beginning, but he didn't take it seriously, and thought that it was an arrangement made by the officials and staff of the state pastoral office in order to curry favor with his successor, but now he only felt very unlucky.
Damn Liu Yu'er, it's just that the border peace that was obtained by means of continuous concessions, and it is really infuriating that he can have such a reputation among the people, is it true that we have worked hard to risk our lives to fight with the Hu people, and we are not as good as this old man who can only compromise!
Gongsun Chan scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't want to ask again, and went directly to the state pastor's mansion, angry and didn't notice that the aura hiding behind the white cloth seemed to be a little more, and it gave people the feeling that it was much stronger than ordinary people.
On the side of the state pastor's mansion, Nanshan saw the arrival of these people from a distance.
Just like the actions of most of the troops after entering the city, Gongsun Chan sent most of his soldiers and horses out to occupy important locations such as four city gates, granaries and arsenals, and only brought a few hundred elite soldiers and a few generals who were skilled in military force with him.
In the eyes of those who don't know, this may be a sign of victory, but for Nanshan, who is familiar with the situation of the Three Kingdoms, it can only be funny.
"This guy is very confident, do you think that there is no one in the entire Youzhou, or do you think that with such a little strength, you can succeed in secession, so that the court is jealous, and you will not send troops to attack?"
You must know, don't look at Gongsun Zhan now controls half of the garrison soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and his authority and right to speak in the army can already compete with Liu Yu, who is the head of the state pastor, and his real power level is simply not in the flow in the environment of the entire Han Dynasty.
Not only was Zhao Yun, the strongest person who was originally going to take refuge in him, but after the death of Emperor Ling, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, who were used to fight against Yuan Shao in the early stage of the melee, were almost in his pocket.
Now the most powerful is only the strength of the second-rate generals, and it is himself, plus there are few reliable strategists under his command to assist, he actually dares to ignore the interference of the imperial court and directly raise troops, it can be said that he has eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and he was obviously fooled and lame by the reincarnation, thinking that he could still jump up in the upcoming chaos in the world like in history and become the largest warlord force in the early stage of the north.
For this evaluation, several local officials in Youzhou on the side felt ashamed, but also complained in their hearts.
What's more, after fighting with those guys on the grassland for a few years, I forgot who I am, do you really think you can rely on such a few people to divide one side?
In fact, if this were not the case, even if Nanshan came back with the power of the Great Victory Grassland Alliance, they would not decisively sell Gongsun Zhan and cooperate with the above plans and arrangements, because they were not optimistic about this guy's future at all.
It's so arrogant!
However, when Liu Yu heard this, he shook his head with a smile.
"The virtuous nephew didn't know that Gongsun Chan first entered the officialdom (conquest) in the way of state and county expulsion, although he was deeply appreciated by his father-in-law, Zhuo County Taishou, and was constantly promoted, but his official position has always been in the state and county. Later, on the recommendation of state and county officials, filial piety was raised. Except for this only one trip to Beijing to inspect the case, he didn't know the situation in other states, so he underestimated the heroes of the world. ”
That's right, although it is one of the most important three sides of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou cannot be compared at all.
Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the nearby Wuhuan and Xianbei have been surrendered early, even if there will be occasional rebellions, at most only a small part of the place where the prestige was built in the past, as long as the imperial army arrives, it will soon surrender and hand over the first evil. Just like what the Wuhuan people did in the original history, after getting enough benefits, they immediately exchanged Zhang Chunzhang's head for the opportunity to forgive and surrender again.
In other words, fighting these guys on the grassland not only doesn't have much of a challenge, but also doesn't have a lot of credit.
This situation has led to the fact that the powerful guys are not willing to stay in the local area at all, and those who have potential have run away to develop.
On the contrary, the situation that Merge and Liangzhou need to face is much more dangerous.
In particular, the annex state has to deal with not only the rebellious Qiang tribes - this is a stubborn existence that cannot be wiped out by the entire Han army three times in a row..... After the division of the Xiongnu, the Southern Xiongnu who moved inward were also in their sphere of influence, and they must have enough strength and troops to guard against it. It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were able to defeat the Kwantung heroes in the early stage with the cavalry of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, because the military strength and military general level of the two states crowned the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the context of the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that the essence of Gongsun Zhan's previous achievements in fighting with Xianbei and Wuhuan people is simply rookies pecking each other.
It was in such a self-righteous state that Gongsun Chan broke into the state governor's mansion, and then saw Liu Yu, who was still alive.
