Chapter 297: Alliance
When Guan Jing arrived in Beihai, Cheng Gongying had already ordered Xu Huang to be the vanguard, and then he and Lu Dai were the Chinese army, leading troops to attack Leling Yuan Tan.
On the other side, Zhang Yan also divided his troops into three ways and went to rescue Gongsun Zan with Gongsun Xu.
Everything looks so good, but it backfires.
Not long after Guan Jing arrived in Beihai, the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat and self-immolation had already spread, and the world was shaken.
Guan Jing was grief-stricken when he heard the news, because Youzhou was in the north, so he wore plain clothes and bowed to the north, and then shouted in his mouth: "My little official, I have the love of the prince and the prince as my confidant, but I can't protect the lord thoroughly, shameful, although the world is big, how can I be alone?" ”
The words fell, and without waiting for everyone to react, he pulled out the sword on his waist and killed himself.
Lu Yi looked at Guan Jing's corpse, his face was regretful, and he sighed: "There are so many righteous people in the north, but it's a pity that Gongsun Chan can't use it, otherwise, Yuan Shao'an dares to look at Youzhou?" ”
Immediately ordered someone to collect Guan Jing's body and bury it in the highlands north of the city, corresponding to Yi Jingyao, in order to be fully loyal.
Gongsun Zhan died of self-immolation, Yuan Shao got the land of Youzhou, so that Youzhou, Hebei, and the three states were connected as one, and Wuhuan and other foreign tribes were friendly with Yuan Shao, and there was no strong enemy in the north.
Cheng Gongying also received the news as soon as possible that Gongsun Zhan was dead, and it was pointless to attack Leling again, so he immediately ordered to retreat.
Yuan Tan had a deep fear of the Qingzhou soldiers, and when he saw Cheng Gongying retreating, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and Gao Ran on the side saw that Yuan Tan was so cowardly, and shook his head slightly in his heart.
Zhang Yan, like Cheng Gongying, learned that Gongsun Zhan was dead and led his troops back to Montenegro, while Gongsun Xu, after thanking Zhang Yan, led hundreds of horsemen to Beihai to defect to Liyi.
In history, Gongsun continued to flee to the outside of the fortress after the death of Gongsun Zhan, and was killed by the slaughter of each person, and now he is thrown into the account of Koji Yi, although I don't know what the outcome will be in the future, but I think it will be better than in history.
Puyang.
Sun Gan was ordered to come to report to the saint for victory, and by the way, he asked for the title of general of Zhengdong and the marquis of Chu for Lu Yi.
When Sun Qian arrived in Puyang, he did not go directly to see Emperor Xian, but first went to the pavilion to stay, and then packed the letter written by Lu Yi with him, and got up to meet Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei's status has long been different, as the emperor's uncle and the actual controller of Puyang, his weight in front of the emperor is very large.
Liu Bei has always paid attention to the battle of Xiapi, and when he heard that Liyi defeated Yuan Shu and captured all his soldiers, envy arose spontaneously in his heart.
I can't help but think of when Koji Yi just left, he passed by the plains and led troops to intercept him with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
At the beginning, Koji Yi was very weak, and his subordinates had almost no soldiers and no generals, let alone a place to stay, which can be described as extremely embarrassing.
On the other hand, today it has the two states of Qingxu, and the troops are fully prepared, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and they have become the first-class princes in the world, even the fourth and third dukes, and Yuan Shu, who is sitting in Huainan, is not his opponent, and he is really powerful.
"Alas!"
Thinking of this, Liu Bei sighed softly.
Just when Liu Bei was sitting there melancholy, a soldier walked in and said, "Lord Qi, Sun Qian's account is engaged in Sun Qian's request to see!" ”
When Liu Bei heard Sun Gan's request to see him, he faintly guessed his intention in his heart, and said, "Hurry up, please!" ”
"No!" The soldier took the order and left.
It didn't take long for Sun Gan, who was well-dressed and smiling, to walk in under the guidance of the soldiers.
Liu Bei saw that Sun Qian had a beautiful appearance and a good temperament, and secretly praised it in his heart.
Sun Qian came closer, bowed his hand respectfully to Liu Bei, and said: "Sun Gan is engaged in the account of Koji Qingzhou, and I have seen Uncle Liu Huang!" ”
Liu Bei saw that Sun Qianli had been going on for a long time, and he was even happier in his heart, smiled back, and said: "But it is Mr. Gongyou in person, I am fortunate to be happy, and I will sit!" ”
Sun Qian returned the salute again, and then knelt down in the guest seat next to him, with a tall posture and an elegant expression.
For some reason, Liu Bei admired Sun Qian very much since he saw him for the first time.
Liu Bei waited for Sun Qian to sit down and asked, "I don't know if Gongyou came this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Sun Gan heard the question and replied: "Uncle Huang also knows that Yuan Shu raised unrighteous soldiers in vain before, attacked Pi, and killed Lu Wenhou.
My lord couldn't bear to see the people of Xuzhou suffering, and he was asked by Tao Fujun to send troops to help.
As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have many helps, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and my lord defeated Yuan Shu in one fell swoop with the support of the people of Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou were saved from the evil of slaughter, which can be described as a great achievement!
However, the world is in turmoil, strange things are frequent, just after the battle of Xiapi, there are rebels Que Xuan gathered people in the East China Sea to rebel, falsely claiming to be the Son of Heaven, privately making seals, setting up false officials, and causing trouble to Xuzhou.
When it is the world of the great Han Dynasty, how can we tolerate anti-thieves and trouble?
My lord immediately sent troops to levy, fought large and small, lost soldiers and generals, and finally killed the anti-thief Que Xuan and the rest of the party, with the majesty of the Han Dynasty!
Today, I came to Puyang on the orders of my lord, one is to congratulate the emperor's uncle, and the other is to report to Your Majesty! ”
After speaking, he took out the handwritten letter written by Koji Yi to Liu Bei from his sleeve, got up and respectfully handed it to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei knew about Yuan Shu, but he didn't know that Que Xuan rebelled, and after listening to Sun Gan, he knew his intention in his heart, and reached out to take the letter and open it.
I saw that the first half of the letter was a compliment to Liu Bei, as well as an expression of the willingness to make friends with the two families, and only put forward one sentence at the end: In today's troubled times, there are often people who are not subordinate, and they are willing to conquer the east for the imperial court to shake the four states.
Liu Bei laughed secretly in his heart after reading it, and only the last sentence of the whole article was the focus.
Lu Yi hopes that he will help him win the general Zhengdong, and the benefit is that the two families mentioned above will get married.
Now he is fighting with Cao Cao for Yanzhou, if he is good with Koyi, he can naturally get his support, and when the situation changes in the future, he can send troops from Xuzhou to attack Cao Cao's rear.
Liu Bei still had a gentle smile on his face after reading it, and said to Sun Gan: "I already know the meaning of Koji Qingzhou, Gongyou can rest assured, when tomorrow is up, be prepared to speak for Qingzhou, don't make the heroes cold!" ”
Liu Bei agreed!
In fact, Liu Bei had no reason to disagree, although Yanzhou was also under the jurisdiction of General Zhengdong, but because of the existence of Emperor Xian, the situation was naturally different.
In its current form, the benefits of an alliance with Koji are far greater than the name of a general who conquers the east.
Sun Qian also heard the meaning of Liu Bei's words, after all, both sides are wise people, and they can just talk to the point, and there is no need to be too straightforward.
Sun Gan showed WeChat on his face, got up to thank Liu Bei, and then said goodbye and left.
After Sun Qian left, Liu Bei slowly put away his smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Sun Qian came out of Liu Bei's mansion and did not return to the pavilion, but asked someone to inquire about Kong Rong's residence, and then walked in the direction of Kong Rong's house.
Sun Qian knew that there was also intrigue in the court, and Liu Bei did not fully grasp the right to speak above the court, so he was ready to visit several officials who had friendships with Liyi.
Among these officials, Kong Rong can be said to have the deepest friendship with Koji Yi and the one who helped the most.
