Jicheng.

This was originally the seat of Youzhou governance, but since Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao twice, he was afraid.

Although Jicheng is a big city built since the Yellow Emperor's period, it is located on the same plain as Jizhou, in other words, the army from the south attacked Jicheng, Jicheng and Yecheng are the same, there is no danger to defend.

Gongsun Chan wanted to move the Zhishou and use the Yanshan Mountains to block the possible Hebei army.

But Liu Yu is the authentic Youzhou pastor!

Liu Yu was reluctant to move to the government, because Youzhou was not a large grain-producing state in the Central Plains like Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the output was difficult to support the county of Benzhou, so it could only be said that it was barely maintained.

In the case of a migration administration, the manpower and material resources consumed in it are already huge, and a large amount of material resources need to be continuously consumed in order to maintain the political center after the migration.

In Liu Yu's opinion, that will only make the entire Youzhou collapse, and it is impossible for Liu Yu to agree to take the entire Youzhou for the sake of Gongsun Zhan's selfish desires.

The Youzhou scholars naturally stood on Liu Yu's side, and when they left their hometowns, there were basically no scholars who were willing to go to other places to develop when they had a choice.

The contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu became more and more profound in this situation, and neither of them was willing to bow to each other, so they became more and more tense.

This contradiction reached its culmination when Liu Yu returned from Zhaocheng.

Going to Zhaocheng to meet with the princes won Liu Yu a very high political prestige, he was originally a courtier at the level of the third duke, and he had already reached the pole of the people's ministers, and had high prestige in the world.

Now with a little more help, Gongsun Chan is becoming more and more marginal in Youzhou, but how can Gongsun Chan sit still and wait to die, it happened that an envoy from Yan Kingdom quietly came to Youzhou and sent a letter of alliance.

……

Yecheng.

It's spring and autumn again.

In the girl's boudoir, the warm light shone obliquely, Zhen Mi was sitting in front of the glass dresser, tracing the tail of her eyebrows, Luo Yan stood behind her, and slowly inserted a hairpin.

Zhen Mi and Lu's days can be regarded as reaching the lowest marriage age line of Luo's.

Zhen Mi asked softly: "Beloved, you have become more and more busy these days, but is there anything big about happening?" ”

After Luo Yan entered Hebei, the interests of the original Hebei faction and the Yingchuan faction naturally could not be moved at will.

However, his identity is Yuan Shao's son-in-law, and in this era of family world, it is natural political correctness to use relatives.

Yuan Shao soon promoted him to counsellor and appointed him as the assassin of Qingzhou, in charge of Qingzhou's military and political affairs.

In today's Qingzhou, Yuan Shao occupies the north, as well as Zhang Yan, a vassal of Zhang Yan, and Liu Bei occupies two counties, Taishan County and Yinghou State.

Qingzhou is a three-legged state.

The reason why Luo Yan was not appointed as the assassin of Youzhou was that Luo Yan himself refused, and he also persuaded Yuan Shao to give up the move of appointing Yuan Xi as the assassin of Youzhou.

As for the reason, it is quite simple, "Since the meeting in Zhaocheng, now in Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Yu are like fire and water, as long as they wait, they can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The Youzhou Shi clan has not yet reached the point of exhaustion.

If the history of Youzhou is canonized now, it will make the Youzhou scholars and the powerful people rise to the same hatred, which is really unwise. ”

Luo Yan asked Yuan Shao to retract his original idea, and when Hebei Wenwu saw this, they all looked at Luo Yan with admiration, and deeply felt Yuan Shao's importance to Luo Yan.

While sorting out Zhen Mi's slightly messy hair, Luo Yan replied: "The chaos in Youzhou has appeared, and all the soldiers in Hebei are using tactics to raise grain and grass to capture Youzhou. ”

It's going to war!

Zhen Mi understands commercial struggles and palace struggles, but she doesn't understand these military affairs, so she held Luo Yan's hand with a little worry, and said worriedly: "Beloved, do you want to go to the battlefield?" ”

Luo Yan did not answer directly, but said euphemistically: "Now that Hebei has not been stable for a long time, there are also strong enemies on the side of the Central Plains, and they can't sit in Yecheng yet." ”

When the foundation was founded, whenever there was a big war, the lord of one side needed to personally lead the army into battle, and there was no precedent for a monarch to sit down and get the world.

In particular, the great war that determines the life and death of the forces requires a series of decisions that ordinary people dare not make.

The monarch sits in the rear and watches the battle, and unless there is a plenipotentiary commander who has full trust, he is almost certain to lose!

But let's not talk about whether there is such a commander or not, even if there is really a full-powered commander, it is not as good as the monarch himself without scruples.

A courtier is a courtier, and some decisions cannot be made, such as the kind of decision to bet everything on, which is something that a courtier cannot make.

And Yuan Shao has today's power, and he has to decisively press all his net worth again and again, so that his grandson Zhan, whose strength is better than him, can return home twice, and win high prestige in front of Dong Zhuo.

If he had not been present in the first two wars, the outcome would have changed dramatically.

When the six princes were fighting, all the princes were sitting in the camp of the Chinese army, and they decided on their own no matter how big or small.

Time flies.

All Hebei civil and military personnel walked from Yecheng, with Hebei's most elite tens of thousands of soldiers, to Youzhou to hide, Luo Yan accompanied Yuan Shao's side, looking at Hebei civil and military, and kept thinking in his heart.

Yuan Shao said in high spirits: "Gongsun Zhan, so brave and unscrupulous, the previous loss of soldiers and generals, the white horse is gone, and he lost his prestige in Youzhou, the state and county scholars are all from Liu Youzhou and hate Gongsun Zhan, and even the Gongsun family is divided."

He is just a dry bone in the mound, this time he marched into Youzhou, I Hebei Zhushi, broken Yier! ”

After beating Gongsun Zan twice in a row with the weak defeating the strong, Yuan Shao didn't take him to heart at all, Luo Yan secretly said in his heart that it was not good, before leaving, Luo Shu told Luo Yan some information about people.

Especially when Luo Yan raised his eyes, the Chinese martial arts were all with this expression, even Tian Feng, who had always been upright and daring, Gongsun Zhan really didn't need to take it to heart, but it was not okay to let Yuan Shao float like this.

Luo Yan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "What the lord said is extremely true, my Hebei soldiers are strong and strong, there are thousands of generals, soldiers and horses are like rain, and there are countless of them."

There is also your in-law Lu Fengxian as foreign aid, who else in the world?

Don't talk about the dry bones in Gongsun Zhan's grave, even if Gongsun Chan knows that he is invincible and defects to Liaodong Yanguo, I Hebei can also win.

To win a big victory in Youzhou, carry the momentum of a big victory, sweep Qingxu Liu Bei and Yanyu Cao Cao, and achieve a great cause. ”

？

In addition to Yan Liangwen and Chou, the two stunned people in the camp, don't talk about the group of strategists, even if it is a general like Zhang He Gaoran, which one is not a human spirit?

They can still understand Luo Yan's counter-words, especially Luo Yan's words are too true, and it is very likely to become reality.

Yuan Shao's face was slightly solemn, Liaodong Yanguo, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei are all opponents that cannot be underestimated, especially now there are rumors that Cao and Liu have formed an alliance and united, if the two of them free up their hands and attack Hebei together, it will be an extremely difficult war.

Yuan Shao put away the disapproving expression on his face, and said solemnly: "Everyone, what Ziyan said is right, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are not my Hebei opponents, but Liaodong Yanguo should not be underestimated."

If Yan Guo occupies Youzhou, then my Hebei is in danger! ”

Although the Yan Kingdom is sparsely populated, it has extremely strong combat effectiveness, and it has only invaded half of Youzhou to develop to its current situation, if it gets the other half of Youzhou's land, its strength will swell to what extent, I can't imagine it.

The most terrifying thing is that Jizhou faces Youzhou and has no danger to defend!

In later generations, the so-called Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were in Youzhou, and Jizhou was a large plain, without natural mountains and rivers.

Xun Chen muttered: "Lord, it seems that our army needs a quick victory.

Quickly and ruthlessly defeat the Gongsun Zan army, sweep away the troubles in Youzhou, and after breaking through Jicheng, you can hold Yanshan in Youzhou.

We need a little cooperation from Liu Youzhou, otherwise it will be easy for Gongsun Chan to escape. ”

……

Yuan Shao was as elite as he could, so naturally it was impossible to hide Gongsun Zhan, who had been staring at Yuan Shao, he knew that there was another war coming.

As long as there is a war, he has the right to speak, so he went to the state pastor's mansion in a hurry, he was too depressed in the past, and now he turned over and said proudly to Liu Yu: "Liu Youzhou, you have always wanted to calm things down, but I'm afraid you can't do it now."

That Yuan Shao, do your best to attack Youzhou with the Hebei army!

If you want to defend Youzhou, you still have to rely on the soldiers and horses in my hands. ”

When the scholars around Liu Yu saw Gongsun Zan rampant, they immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you speak to the envoy like this? Disrespecting the governor of a state is extremely rude! ”

Liu Yu stopped the angry crowd, and then said coldly to Gongsun Zhan: "General Yuan waved his army to Youzhou, not to attack Youzhou, but to help Youzhou break the enemy.

It is rumored that the Yan State wanted to attack Liaoxi and seize Youzhou, and the countless Hu tribes on the grassland also wanted to go south to plunder.

As the general of Zhenbei and the county marquis of the imperial court, you hold the power in the state, and you don't think about defending Youzhou, but you always think about your own selfish interests, and then fight with General Yuan.

If you are divided today, and the emperor is in the hands of traitors one after another, you and your father are both greatly favored by the country, but you can't be ashamed of the country, and you should work together to serve the royal family, but instead you come to draw this kind of infighting.

This duke thinks that he is a Hanchen with you. ”

Gongsun Zhan changed color and said angrily when he heard this: "Liu Bo'an!

If there are really Hu people entering Youzhou, I will swing my knife and go forward, if it is not for your weakness and incompetence, I would have killed the Hu people in Youzhou, how could I have left so many hidden dangers.

Today, you dare to use this to criticize me, are you deceiving me? ”

Liu Yu could still suppress the anger in his heart, and when he mentioned Hu Ren, he instantly said angrily: "If it weren't for your heavy killing, how would the situation in Youzhou be so difficult."

If you can really kill the Hu people, will the grass and the root prince stop you?

For thousands of years, even King Su had no other way to face the Hu people who were hiding, let alone your Gongsun Zhan!

If it weren't for the fact that you had caused the Hu people in the border counties to turn against the Han family, how could the Han Dynasty be defeated and retreat in the face of the Yan Kingdom, and how could the border of the Han Dynasty be unpeaceful day by day?

That's what you do!

I don't know what to say about it here today. ”

There was a real fire between the words of the two, this was completely the difference in the ideas of the two sides, Gongsun Chan left angrily, and after walking out of the state pastor's mansion, the anger in his eyes almost burned through the entire mansion.

In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Yu suddenly retracted his angry expression, and in an instant, he had a sad face.

Liu Yu's son Liu Shen also asked with a sad face: "Father, if you reject Gongsun Zhan, will he directly raise troops himself?"

The previous attack on Jizhou also did not make you agree and raised troops alone. ”

Liu Yu paced in the hall and thought, "Yuan Shao came to Youzhou, the picture is not small!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Shen actually said such a sentence after hearing his father's deep groaning, and said in surprise: "Father, didn't you talk to Gongsun Chan just now......

Liu Yu glared at Liu Shen and said, "Of course, that's to deceive Gongsun Zhan."

We must find a way to get rid of Gongsun Zhan, if the Youzhou Army continues to be in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Youzhou will really not be protected.

When he had the advantage, he couldn't defeat Yuan Shao, how could Gongsun Zan be Yuan Shao's opponent now?

Yuan Shao wants to be the lord of Youzhou.

Although the current emperor is supported by Dong Zhuo, and although the current emperor has all kinds of problems, he is still the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao was disdainful of the current emperor, which shows that his disobedience to the Han is almost obvious.

I must not let him get Youzhou, as a member of the Han clan, this is what I can do in the end. ”

Liu Shen opened his mouth to say something, but Liu Yu saw this and said sharply: "Shen'er!

Remember those books your father made you read when you were a child?

Do you remember "Bang Zhou's Death in the Country"? ”

Liu Yu's voice was murderous, Liu Shen's whole body trembled, and he said in fear: "Remember my father!" ”

"Recite the clan chapter and the relatives chapter!"

Liu Shen knelt on the ground with a puff and began to recite those relatives who died in the history of Bang Zhou.

I don't know how long it took for Liu Yu to calm down: "You remember, these people are your role models, as a member of the Han family, if you don't have the courage to die in the country, you are not qualified to wear the identity of the royal family."

Liu Biao and Liu Yan are the scum of the Han clan, I can't wait to do it!

If the Han dynasty perishes one day, you have to inherit the will, just like Liu Bei, and take the revival of the Han dynasty as your own responsibility. ”

Liu Shen asked in a deep voice: "Father, since Yuan Shao wants to overthrow the Han family, why did Gongsun Chan want to attack Yuan Shao just now, but you didn't agree, but wanted to cause civil strife yourself?" ”

Liu Yu walked in front of Kanyutu and said slowly: "For my father, I will teach you one more thing."

If you want to achieve great things, you must not only be able to achieve things yourself, but also those who are allied with you must also be able to achieve things, otherwise you will only be dragged down in vain.

Gongsun Chan is a waste who can't do anything, and an alliance with him is the end of everything.

If you want to get rid of Yuan Shao, you must first settle Gongsun Zhan, and only by getting rid of Gongsun Chan and completely gathering Youzhou can you have any hope of resisting Yuan Shao.

If it fails, it is the destiny of heaven that cannot be blamed on others. ”

Liu Shen seemed to know his father, who had always been known for his kindness, for the first time, his eyes were full of surprise, Liu Yu had never taught Liu Shen these things, and since he said it today, he simply said more.

"Shen'er, why have I always advocated forgiveness?

It's not that I like to be generous, it's that I have to be generous.

Before you do something, you have to know what your goal is, why I look down on Gongsun Zhan, because he can only kill and kill, and after killing for so many years, Youzhou is still like this, and even the situation on the border has deteriorated.

He didn't know what he wanted, he just simply killed Hu people, and those Hu people were like grass on the grassland, clumps and clumps, and they could never be killed.

Back then, King Su set out from Hojing to the east, killing all the way, his old man was truly invincible in the world, but even King Su finally returned to Hojing and no longer launched large-scale wars.

Because Bang Zhou could not benefit from those wars, but would have to consume a lot of resources.

What is Gongsun Zhan, what King Su can't do, can he do it?

My father came to Youzhou with only one goal, that is, to ensure peace in Youzhou, to build an order in which the Hu people could survive without looting, and then slowly use the population advantage of the Han people to gradually drive the Hu people north or live together.

Obtain the exchange of resources from the Hu people, so that Youzhou can operate on its own, and it can maintain the rule of the Han dynasty without the support of Jizhou and Qingzhou.

Those Hu people were even able to act as a barrier to the Han Dynasty against attacks by the Hu people further north and the Yan Kingdom.

It's a pity that all of them were destroyed by Gongsun Zhan, and the Hu people of Youzhou and Liaodong all gathered under the command of Yan State, and the Zhuyi Cong army who surrendered to the Han Dynasty in the past became the dogs of Yan State.

Hateful! ”

Liu Yu commented on Gongsun Chan here, but after Gongsun Chan returned to the mansion, he saw a very kind-looking person, chubby, dressed like a rich man.

But his identity is not simple, he is a great nobleman of Yan Kingdom, but he came to Gongsun Zan alone, and he has to praise him, which is really a good courage.

The moment Gongsun Zhan saw Murong Sheng, his hair stood on end, looked left and right, and hurriedly closed the courtyard door, and said in a low voice: "Why did you appear here?" ”

Murong Sheng smiled lightly: "Bo Guigong, why are you so careful? Is it taboo for me to come to see you? ”

Murong Sheng said this, Gongsun Zhan reacted, it seems that there is really no need, the Central Plains and the Yan Kingdom are not completely inconnected, and there will still be goods transactions with the Hu tribe, and a Yan State merchant appeared in the Gongsun Clan's mansion, it is nothing.

Seeing Gongsun Zhan's reaction, Murong Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Duke Bo Gui, in the letter a few days ago, what did you think about what our king said?" ”

The reason why he came to Gongsun Zan is very simple, Gongsun is a Wang clan in Liaoxi, and it happens to be blocked in the place where Yan Kingdom enters Youzhou, if Gongsun Clan is willing to serve Yan State, then Yan Kingdom will enter Youzhou without much effort, and even occupy the entire Youzhou.

And Gongsun Chan is now the most prominent figure in the Gongsun clan, more than half of the clansmen of the Gongsun clan are dominated by Gongsun Chan, and the other heirs are relatively inferior in power compared to Gongsun Chan.

Gongsun Chan sneered: "I really don't know why your Yan Kingdom Lord dared to come to recruit my Gongsun Zhan, did you forget that you have been defeated by me several times?"

I am now a great prince of the Han family, and the population and military strength under my rule are not inferior to your Yan Kingdom, and you are trying to recruit me, which is simply ridiculous. ”

In the face of Gongsun Zhan's sarcastic words, Murong Sheng was not angry, and still said with a smile: "My lord is in a heavenly posture, because he admires the heroic appearance of Bo Guigong on the battlefield, so I came to recruit him.

Youzhou is indeed a fertile land, but unfortunately this land does not belong to Bogui Gong!

Its state pastor seems to be surnamed Liu, a member of the Han family.

There is another person in Jizhou in the south, named Yuan Shao.

Eyeing Youzhou, I want to cut off your head all the time to show the world.

There are enemies inside and outside, I am worried about Bo Guigong, if one day, when the prince feels that he is cornered, please go to Liaoxi, there will be Yan Guoerlang to meet you.

That's right.

As Yan Guo's sincerity, I can tell you that Liu Yu has been preparing to do something to you recently, and your life will be threatened at any time. ”

As for whether Liu Yu really wants to kill Gongsun Zhan, then he doesn't know, Liu Yu is still more cautious in this regard, and Yan Guo has not yet been able to arrange people around Liu Yu.

But it doesn't matter.

Liu Yu has a reason to kill Gongsun Zhan, so whether he kills it or not, whether he wants to admit it or not, as long as Murong Sheng says so, no.

This is a naked conspiracy!

Gongsun Zhan was a little defensively said by this output, because there was a faint contempt in his words, this Murong Sheng was saying that he was neither as good as Liu Yu nor as good as Yuan Shao.

Murong Sheng's last sentence made Gongsun Zhan's hairs stand up again.

"Liu Yu wants to kill me?"

He only doubted it for a moment and recognized the authenticity of this sentence, because he himself was always thinking about killing Liu Yu and treating others with himself, Liu Yu was not a real honest person, and it was understandable to want to do this.

"Liu Yu, this old horseman, wants to kill me!"

Gongsun Zhan gritted his teeth, anger rose from his heart, evil was born to the side of his guts, and his eyes turned red almost instantly, "Liu Yu! ”

The clouds drifted by with the wind, obscuring the sun on the sky, and the shadow instantly enveloped the entire Thistle City.

Killing.

……

The whole Youzhou is full of secret agents, it is not clear who sent it at all, the Hebei army is all stationed in Youzhou, as early as the last time Gongsun Chan was defeated and fled, there were some cities in Youzhou were captured, as the advance sentry of the follow-up army.

Now tens of thousands of soldiers are deployed on the battlefield, stretching far away, and grain and grass are coming from Jizhou behind him.

At this point, Yuan Shao began the first Hebei Civil and Military Conference to discuss the specific attack plan.

This attack on Youzhou, in addition to defending against Cao Cao and Liu Bei's people, the entire Hebei is almost pouring out, and it is bound to go down in one go.

Yuan Shao looked around at everyone and said loudly: "This time to attack Youzhou, I have a large number of soldiers in Jizhou, and there is enough grain and grass, so I will definitely be able to win a big victory, but how to win is a very critical matter."

You are all my Hebei Yingjie, what do you think, let's say it here, once agreed, it can no longer be changed, and it must be strictly implemented. ”

Lu Yi was the first to walk out, first bowed to Yuan Shao with his fists in his fists, got up and looked around at the surrounding people, and then raised his head and said: "Lord, no matter how the battle plan is arranged in the future, Yi please be the vanguard, attack the city, and attack in the field, and the first to die is unmatched." ”

Today's Hebei has the saying that "Hebei Siting Pillars, Koji Yi is the center", and Koji Yi is the well-deserved number one general in Hebei today!

Looking at the confident performance of his love general, Yuan Shao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, you are the vanguard of our army, Gongsun Zan has no white horse righteous servant, but the other soldiers under his command should feel the strength of the first dead soldiers and halberd soldiers, this is called fairness!" ”

Laughing straight away, everyone in the camp joined in and laughed out loud, the first death soldiers and halberd soldiers are the most elite legions in Hebei today, the cooperation of heavy crossbowmen and heavy armor soldiers.

The whole of Hebei has only cultivated thousands.

In these years, all the camps that are difficult to conquer, as long as the first to board the dead and the halberd warriors to attack, there is no disadvantage.

Luo Yan sat first on her right hand, silently observing the people in Hebei.

These strategists and generals in Hebei are all extremely capable people, but it is precisely because of this that the fight is becoming more and more intense.

Especially in the tailwind battle of Youzhou, these people are not only thinking about victory, but in the case of victory, they will fight for enough interests for their faction.

Each of them hoped that Yuan Shao would listen to his own opinions and win, so that he would be able to come out on top when it came to rewarding meritorious deeds.

And what about Yuan Shao?

It is also necessary to consider the distribution of interests of each faction, and when adopting opinions, it is necessary to consider not only the rationality of the opinions themselves, but also the way to victory.

This approach is destined to have a lot of flaws and is destined to give the opponent a chance.

When the real flying dragon rides the face, it's nothing, but what I'm most afraid of is that I think I will win, but I will be caught by the opposite side and killed.

That's really a dead man's hand, laughing for the world.

After Luo Yan came to Yuan Shao's command, he felt that he didn't need to give advice, because there were enough strategists in Hebei.

In particular, the four people of Fu Zhu, Xun Chen, Juan Pei, and Tian Feng are all natural resources, and they are not weaker than any strategists.

The most important thing he needs to do is to promote the relationship between these people, prevent the struggle between factions from becoming the mainstream of Hebei, and prevent Hebei from falling into crazy internal strife.

As long as Hebei is in one place, there is no fear of the world.

Yuan Shao agreed to Liyi's request so easily, firstly because he trusted Liyi, and at the same time, Liyi was the most elite general under his command, and secondly, because Liyi did not belong to the Hebei faction.

In the battle of attacking Youzhou, Yuan Shao hoped that the Yingchuan faction and the lonely ministers like Liyi could make great contributions.

Because the land of Hebei is really outstanding people, there are too many talents, and because it is developed locally, this has led to the Hebei faction becoming more and more powerful under Yuan Shao.

In particular, Yuan Shaorang was frustrated to govern the government, and the trial and coordination of the unified army made the Hebei faction stronger and stronger.

But there is no way that the Yingchuan faction does not have talents in this area, and Yuan Shao must make the best use of it and let the Hebei faction come to the top.

The only thing that reassures Yuan Shao is that frustration and trial are rare loyal ministers, Tian Feng is upright, although Hebei celebrities have their own interests in their hearts, but there are also many loyal and upright people.

With the statement of Ko Yi, everyone in the tent was about to speak freely, and suddenly there was a messenger outside the camp shouting, Yuan Shao hurriedly asked the guards to summon him in, and as soon as the messenger walked into the camp, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord, Jicheng is a letter!" ”
