Chapter 351: Gongsun Chan VS Yuan Shao
Should Yang Zhao be invited to attack Yuan Shao together?
If invited, they can fight a lot easier in this battle, but the final result, the southern part of Jizhou will probably be given to Yang Zhao, if not, they can't do a quick decision, after all, they have to guard against Wuhuan and Xianbei.
"Big brother, we don't need to ask him to help."
Gongsun Chan was a younger brother, and Gongsun Fan heard it and said: "With our strength, it is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shao." ”
Guan Jing said: "The relationship between the general and Yuan Shao is not good, he knows that we have made a move, and it is very likely that he will also make a move, in addition, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, although they have experienced a big defeat and lost their troops, but the background is still there, we are confident that we can win, but it is also possible that we will be delayed by him for a while." ”
Gongsun Chan agreed: "With my understanding of Mingguang, if he knows that I am going to do something to Jizhou, he will not stand idly by, and will take this opportunity to enter Jizhou and seek benefits." ”
The grievances between Yang Zhao and the Yuan family are almost coming to an end.
Yuan Shu is gone, and the rest is Yuan Shao.
Certainly not sitting idly by.
He didn't believe that with such a big Jizhou in front of him, Yang Zhao still didn't have any thoughts.
"If he is allowed to fight, Jizhou will be divided into a piece, and if he is not invited, he will take the initiative to fight."
Gongsun Fan was reluctant to Jizhou, especially in the south, which was the richest place in the state, and said, "Why don't you talk to him?" ”
"I can't talk about anything."
Guan Jing shook his head and said: "Back then, he and Cao Mengde were still friends who had nothing to say, but now they can turn against each other. ”
This matter seems to be a foregone conclusion.
There is no way to change it for the time being.
Yang Zhao's strength is so strong, there is no one in the north who can compete with it.
If you let Lu Zhi persuade him, there is still a seventy or eighty percent possibility, but Gongsun Chan has troubled Lu Zhi many times, and it is not good to open this mouth again.
"Senior brother has a life-saving grace for me, back then in Guanzi City, if he hadn't killed Qiu Liju, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Before, Yuan Shao wanted to attack Qingzhou, and I stood by and watched, which is a shame for my junior brother."
"In this case, I will write a letter and send it to Linzi, asking him to send troops to attack Yuan Shao together, which can be regarded as a change of favor for the year, and we will have no arrears in the future."
Gongsun Chan gave himself an explanation, and also found a step down for himself.
Gongsun Fan is not good at objecting to anything, these are also facts, and he can only do it according to Gongsun Zhan's arrangement.
——
"Still useless!"
Liu Bei was in the military camp outside Zhuoxian County, with a large pile of charcoal and sulfur beside him, as for the ingredient of saltpeter, they couldn't analyze it for the time being, so they could only use these two things to toss.
From the beginning of getting it, I have been researching until now, and there is still no progress at all.
Liu Bei just now tried again, but still failed.
"How the hell is this thing done?"
Zhang Fei's face was already a little dark.
Now he got some charcoal ash on his face, which made it look even darker, and he was puzzled: "If I hadn't seen that the things sent by the general could crack stones, I would have thought that he had deceived us." ”
Guan Yu, who was squatting on the side, shook his head helplessly and said, "The general can send things to us, so it is expected that we will not be able to imitate them." ”
Their title for Yang Zhao is also a general, and they recognize Yang Zhao's status in their hearts.
When the other craftsmen in charge of the imitation heard this, they had no other way but to look at Liu Bei and wait for his orders and arrangements.
"Forget it!"
Liu Bei had to give up, and said: "Put the rest away, let's save some use, it's really not okay, I'll ask my junior brother for it later, let's go back." ”
After tossing for so long, they decided not to toss anymore.
However, just as he was going back, Jian Yong suddenly ran over and said, "Xuande, it's not good!" ”
"What happened?"
As soon as he heard that it was not good, Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he thought that something big was going to happen.
Jian Yong said again: "Gongsun envoy Jun, the troops are easy to water, and they are ready to go south to attack Jizhou." ”
Although Zhuo County is a county under Youzhou, the soldiers of Zhuo County are led by Liu Bei alone, and Gongsun Zhan considered that he was his junior brother and did not take away the military power, so this time he went to war, and it had nothing to do with Liu Bei.
"What!"
Liu Bei was stunned.
Gongsun Zhan has begun to expand to Jizhou, Yang Zhao is invincible in the north, and he is still hiding in a small Zhuo County, which is considered to be nothing, and it is too much of a failure in comparison.
"Xuande, what should we do?"
Jian Yong asked.
Liu Bei quickly calmed down and asked, "Senior Brother Gongsun, did you say that I should also send troops?" ”
Jian Yong shook his head slightly.
"Then leave it alone!"
Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "It's enough for us to hold Zhuojun, don't care about the rest for the time being, I'll go back to see the teacher first." ”
Even if he can send troops to help, he won't be able to get other benefits in the end, Gongsun Chan didn't let himself send troops, that's the best, and now he has missed the best opportunity to fight the world, and he can only envy others.
"I forgot how long it had been since I had fought."
When Zhang Fei heard that he didn't have to fight, he said with some pity: "It's still before, and it's refreshing to calm the chaos with the general." ”
"Let's go back too!"
Guan Yu didn't think about it so much, although he also hoped to make contributions, but there was no need to fight, and they couldn't change the status quo.
Back inside the city.
Liu Bei went directly to Lu's house and said, "Teacher, Senior Brother Gongsun has sent troops to attack Jizhou." ”
He told the news briefly.
Lu Zhi read the book very casually, and only raised his head slightly when he heard this: "Bo Gui will do this, I expected it, Xuande wanted to help him, just go, don't ask for the teacher's opinion." ”
"Teacher, I don't want to."
Liu Bei shook his head slightly, worried: "I just think that if the senior brother goes south to Jizhou, sooner or later he will face up with the junior brother, what will I do in the future?" ”
Lu Zhi's movements paused for a moment, put down the book in his hand, and thought for a long time: "They will meet on the battlefield sooner or later." ”
According to the current development trend, it is inevitable that brothers will kill each other.
"What should I do if that time comes?"
Liu Bei thought about it and asked.
Lu Zhi spread his hands and said: "You can do whatever you want, anyway, I won't mediate, and I won't be involved by you." ”
During the period of idle recuperation in Zhuo County, he seemed to have seen a lot of things, no matter how they tossed, Gongsun Zan was not Yang Zhao's opponent anyway.
"Okay!"
Liu Bei did not continue to ask.
It seems that everything is a foregone conclusion, and he can only hold Zhuojun, but it is better than nothing, so be it.
——
Meanwhile.
The people who were studying explosives, as well as Yuan Shao, had doused many explosives with water, and he brought them all back, and he had been researching, but nothing could be studied.
"My lord, there is an urgent military situation in the north."
On this day, Zhang He hurriedly walked into the governor's mansion and said eagerly: "Gongsun Zhan is preparing to attack Jizhou. ”
"What?"
Yuan Shao, who was struggling with explosives, immediately jumped up when he got the news.
Not long after the war in Jizhou ended, the war was about to be provoked by Gongsun Zhan again, and he was worried that he would not be able to cope with it.
