Zhuo County.

Liu He's letter arrived.

Knowing that Liu He left Chang'an City with the secret edict of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, Liu Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"God is pitiful, the old minister has finally waited for His Majesty's holy decree!"

As the minister of the clan and the great Sima who guards Youzhou, Liu Yu feels heartache all the time for the broken Han family.

The thieves of the country are in turmoil, and the country is no longer a country.

In Chang'an, Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage, and in Kanto, there were ambitious people such as Han Fu who wanted to support the new Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi successively organized a discussion with Dong, but Liu Yu did not participate!

Liu Yu knew very well that once he, the great Sima, also participated in the discussion of Dong, it would be tantamount to not recognizing the orthodoxy of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an.

What is the difference between agreeing with the support of Han Fu and others and ascending the throne as emperor?

Therefore, no matter how Han Fu persuaded him, Liu Yu always maintained neutrality in Youzhou.

Liu Yu summoned Zhao Gai, Xian Yuqian, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou, Wei Dun, Wei You, Cheng Xu, Gongsun Ji, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi and other prefectures to engage in civil and military affairs.

"The thieves rebelled, and the court sowed."

"The four seas are Russian, and there is no stubbornness."

"As a minister of the clan, the old man should uphold his beliefs and not be depressed like everyone else!"

"The Son of Heaven is suffering, and the old man wants to send an envoy to the court to show that the old man is loyal to the court's etiquette, but there is someone who can live up to his mission?"

Don't drive Zhao Cai's recommendation: "There is Tian Chou Tian Zitai, a native of Wuzhong County, Beiping County, who is dead like life, and he can take on a big responsibility!" ”

Xian Yufu also said: "Although Tian Zitai is young, the people in the county praise Tian Zitai's courage and talent, so that if you can be generously invited, Tian Zitai will definitely be able to live up to the trust." ”

Liu Yu saw that everyone was praising Tian Chou, and immediately sent Wei Yu to prepare a generous gift to invite Tian Chou.

After Wei You left, Liu Yu said again: "The Son of Heaven has a secret edict to fight against thieves, and the old man intends to send the Youzhou cavalry south, and join forces with the general in Nanyang to fight against Dong." ”

"Who wants to lead the army south?"

As soon as he heard that he wanted to ask Dong, Xian Yuqian immediately asked for his life: "Envoy, the last general is willing to lead Youzhou Jingqi to the south, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the envoy!" ”

Cheng Xu had the intention to resolve the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and said: "Envoy, the cavalry of Xianyu General should not be moved lightly, it is better to pass the order to the right Beiping, and let Gongsun Taishou lead the cavalry to the south." ”

"In this way, Gongsun Taishou can go west to conquer Dong Zhuo to establish a meritorious reputation, so that Jun does not have to worry about Gongsun Taishou destroying the soft policy towards Wuhuan."

Engaged in Xian Yu Fu also said: "Make Jun, Cheng Cheng is reasonable." Gongsun Taipuncy often plundered the army, and all counties complained, if he could be transferred out of Youzhou to ask for meritorious service, so that the king could show Gongsun Chan to go elsewhere. ”

Liu Yu frowned.

For Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu was quite disliked.

If you blindly kill the side affairs, it will only make the hatred between the two sides deeper.

For a border general like Gongsun Zhan, it is indeed a meritorious service to the enemy, and his fame will be lost.

But for the people of Youzhou, it is not a good thing!

What the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment, not to be in danger of killing and hating all the time.

Therefore, after Liu Yu came to Youzhou, he has been committed to using the Huairou policy to resolve the contradictions between the Han and Wuhuan, mining in Yuyang County, mutual markets in Shanggu County, and persuading farmers in Zhuxian to avoid conflicts between the two sides as much as possible.

The nearby Wuhuan tribe also had a very miserable life because of the years of war, and they didn't want to fight anymore, so they responded to Liu Yu's gentle strategy.

Under Liu Yu's governance, Youzhou gradually regained its vitality.

However, for Gongsun Zhan, who has always hated the Wuhuan people and hopes to kill the Wuhuan people for meritorious service, Liu Yu's gentle strategy is equivalent to burying Gongsun Zhan's future.

As a result, Gongsun Chan repeatedly broke Liu Yu's agreement with the Wuhuan tribe, and even plundered the Han people, in order to increase border conflicts and create reasons to send troops.

But the Wuhuan people are not stupid, and they sent messengers to check with Liu Yuyi, and both sides knew that Gongsun Zhan was playing ghosts.

This is also one of the reasons why Liu Yu is quite angry with Gongsun Zhan.

What Gongsun Chan wants is to make a name for himself, and what Liu Yu wants is for the people to be healthy!

If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's self-respect for the army, Liu Yu would have brought Gongsun Zhan to justice, how could he let Gongsun Chan be arrogant in Youbeiping?

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu agreed to Cheng Xu's proposal and asked him to go to Youbeiping to pass the military order to Gongsun Zhan.

If Gongsun Chan can be transferred out of Youzhou, it will also be a good thing for Liu Yu!

Cheng Xu was ordered to come to Youbeiping and convey Liu Yu's military order: "Gongsun Taishou, Da Sima intends to send troops south to discuss Dong with Yuan Shuhui, but there is no general available under his command. ”

"Da Sima Su knows that Gongsun Taishou is brave and good at fighting, and his Baima Yicong is also the elite of the world, so he sent me to inform Gongsun Taishou, hoping that Gongsun Taishou can lead his troops south."

Looking at the order in front of him, Gongsun Zhan frowned: "Da Sima wants to ally with Yuan Shu?" Yuan Shu, who has always been a wolf, nominally sent a letter to invite Da Sima to join the alliance, but in fact, he detained Liu He and wanted Da Sima to respect him. ”

"If Ben will go south, won't he be restricted by Yuan Shu?"

"Please also engage in returning to the Great Sima, at this moment, you should send someone south to Luyang, and welcome Liu He and the holy decree back to Youzhou together."

"With the holy decree, Da Sima raised his arms and shouted, and he could form the Dong Alliance again and become famous all over the world!"

"If this can be the case, Bai Ma Yi is willing to be a pioneer!"

Gongsun Chan is not stupid.

This went south to Luyang, and the grain and grass had to be restricted by Yuan Shu, and it was impossible to respect Yuan Shu if he wanted to.

traveled thousands of miles to Luyang to be controlled by Yuan Shu, even if Dong succeeded, the credit was Yuan Shu's!

This kind of thing that is not beneficial to make a wedding dress for others, Gongsun Chan is reluctant.

But if Liu Yu raises the flag in Youzhou, even if he has a personal grudge against Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan will take the initiative to ask for his life to be a pioneer!

Gongsun Zhan's thoughts are actually similar to Sun Jian's.

As long as you can be a pioneer and destroy Dong Zhuo, then everyone in the world will remember who punished Dong, and you will have fame and credit!

Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment: "Gongsun Taishou, Da Sima is dedicated to the public, and he will not compete with Yuan Shu for the alliance leader." ”

Gongsun Chan sneered: "So, this is where Ben will not be used to seeing Da Sima." He wants to insist on justice, why should he ask Ben to be like him? ”

"I could have begged for Dong, but I had to respect Da Sima and ask for Dong in the name of Youzhou, instead of following Yuan Shu to discuss seniority, and I had to ask Yuan Shu for his favor."

"You are a scholar, how do you understand this thing of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions?"

Cheng Xu couldn't persuade Gongsun Zhan, so he had no choice but to return to Zhuojun.

Liu Yu was furious: "Crusading against Dong Zhuo is the righteousness of the country, how can Gongsun Zhan abolish the public with his own interests?" The old man has his own fine horse, why do you need Gongsun Zhan to go south? ”

"The order is Xian Yuqian, so that he will lead three thousand Youzhou cavalry to the south!"

Liu Yu's subordinate Gongsun Ji had a close personal relationship with Gongsun Zhan, and secretly sent people to send the news to Youbeiping.

Gongsun Zan saw that Liu Yu did not listen to persuasion and insisted on sending cavalry south to join the alliance, and he was also quite angry in his heart: "Liu Yu, old man, I would have liked to help you achieve great achievements, but you abandoned the general's kind words. ”

"How can pedantic people achieve great things!"

Gongsun Chan was so angry in his heart.

Originally, I thought that this Liu Yu had a holy decree to ask Dong, and he didn't have to nest in Youbeiping.

As a result, Liu Yu would be gullible in Yuan Shu!

What kind of person Yuan Shu is, Gongsun Chan can see through it at a glance, but Liu Yu can't understand it.

"Yuan Shu, this person, will be revenged, if he learns that he will dissuade Liu Yu's old horseman, he will definitely hold a grudge against me."

"Ben Jiang has already offended Liu Yu, if he offends Yuan Shu again, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future."

"It's better to be."

Gongsun Zhan was ruthless in his heart, and immediately summoned his cousin Gongsun Yue.

"Ah Yue, you immediately took the general's letter and led a thousand cavalry south to Luyang to meet the general."

"Tell General Hou: General Ben has always admired him, and sent a thousand cavalry to help, if General Hou wants the cavalry of Youzhou, he can help him get rid of Xian Yuqian!"

"After the deed is completed, you will stay with General Hou for the time being."

Gongsun Yue's heart sank: "Brother, if Da Sima learns about this, I'm afraid he will raise troops to hold him accountable." ”

Gongsun Chan sneered: "Accountability? Liu Yu's most elite cavalry is gone, what can he do to hold the general accountable? Don't worry, go to Luyang quickly. ”

After Gongsun Yue left, Gongsun Chan summoned his younger brother Gongsun Fan again: "Ah Fan, you take the letter to the letter to the letter capital." Tell Yuan Taishou that Ben will go to Wei County in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo! ”

Gongsun Fan said worriedly: "Brother, Yuan Shao's ambition is not to be trusted. Last time, Yuan Shao wanted to seize Jizhou, because Qingzhou Liu Tingshi went to Yecheng to persuade peace, and finally Yuan Shao was forced to reach an alliance with Han Fu to divide Jizhou. ”

"Yuan Shao wants Jizhou, how can he let his brother set foot in Wei County?"

"If Yuan Shao suddenly makes trouble, how can my brother deal with it?"

Gongsun Zhan snorted coldly: "If Yuan Shao dares to make trouble, then he will take all the nine counties of Jizhou." There will be 20,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 cavalry, and 3,000 white horse servants who are terrified of the Wuhuan people, what qualifications does Yuan Shao have to attack the general? ”

Riding in 20,000 steps is Gongsun Zhan's confidence!

With soldiers and horses in hand, he is not afraid of Liu Yu and Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Fan saw that Gongsun Chan despised Yuan Shao, and he was even more worried: "But my brother wants to take half of Han Fu's Jizhou, how can the Qingzhou Liu Thorn History Office deal with it?" ”

Gongsun Chan couldn't help frowning.

For his former classmate Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan had a complicated mood.

In the past, when he lent 500 cavalry to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was just trying to defend the plains, but now he is already the history of Qingzhou.

Looking at the younger brother in the past, who is now more powerful than himself, Gongsun Zhan's heart is quite complicated.

It's okay that Gongsun Fan didn't mention Liu Bei, but when Liu Bei was mentioned, Gongsun Zhan's mind to go south to seize Han Fu and Jizhou became firmer.

"Last time, Xuande persuaded Han Fu and Yuan Shao, because I didn't want Yuan Shao to regret not transporting grain anymore after he won Jizhou."

"But if Ben General replaces Han Fu, he can meet Xuande to attack Yuan Shao together, and then Xuande will be in Qingzhou, and Ben will be in Jizhou. He could have given him as much food as he wanted. ”

"The two states of Qinghai and Hebei can still form an offensive and defensive alliance, who can stop it?"

"When you find an opportunity to destroy Liu Yu's old horseman, Ben will be in charge of Youji, who in the world will not respect Ben Ji?"

"He destroyed Dong Zhuo in the day, and the general can also be a general!"

Gongsun Zhan's eyes are fierce and ambitious.

Gongsun Fan saw that he couldn't persuade Gongsun Zhan, so he had no choice but to retreat and send letters to Yuan Shao from time to time.

Yuan Shao has been cautious since the failure of Yecheng to seize the throne.

While marrying Liu Dai to interfere with Qingzhou's sight, he secretly agreed with Gongsun Zan to divide Jizhou.

After receiving the letter from Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was immediately happy.

"It's spring ploughing right now, even if Liu Bei wants to send troops to persuade peace, it's impossible!"

"Yuan Shu sent people to detain Liu He, and wanted Liu Yu to go south to join the alliance, which gave Gongsun Taishou the opportunity to go south."

"My brother, I really understand his brother's difficulties!"

Yuan Shao was in a very comfortable mood.

Although there has always been an agreement with Gongsun Zhan, when to go south, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are waiting for the opportunity.

After all, Liu Yu also has elite cavalry in his hands.

Only by choosing an opportunity when Liu Bei and Liu Yu have too late to send troops can the plan be foolproof!

And now, Yuan Shu's detention of Liu He directly created such an opportunity for Yuan Shao.

Liu Yu's cavalry went south to Luyang, and Qingzhou faced the most important spring ploughing.

Neither of these armies had a chance to intervene.

All that remains is the game between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan.

"At the beginning, although Liu Yu's cavalry went south, Liu Bei was always a variable."

"We must try to divert Liu Bei's forces elsewhere."

This time, Xu Yu rushed to offer advice before Feng Ji.

Xu You knew that this was the most suitable time for Yuan Shao to compete for Jizhou, and there could be no more mistakes.

If Feng Ji plans again, Xu Yu has to echo and improve Feng Ji's plan again out of interest considerations.

This is very difficult for Xu Yu to accept.

Since you don't want to go along with Fengji, then rush ahead of Fengji!

"Xu Ziyuan, bastard!" Feng Ji saw that Xu Yu took the lead, and couldn't help but hate secretly.

Yuan Shao was really attracted by Xu You's words and asked, "How is Ziyuan going to plan?" ”

Xu You stroked his short hair and sneered: "In order to alleviate Lu Zhi's pressure to fight against Dong, Liu Bei sent people to form an alliance with Tao Qian and Yuan Shu. ”

"It's obvious, it's for the beginning."

"Liu Bei is worried that Zhou Qiao, the assassin of Yuzhou who was originally played, will suddenly enter Yuzhou, so that Sun Jian, who is in Luoyang, will have to return to Yuzhou, so he will form an alliance with Yuan Shu."

"It's a pity, Liu Bei is cocooning himself this time."

"That Zheng Ping boasts that he is the best in the world, and he wants to guide the general trend of the world with the power of one person, which is really ridiculous!"

"The world is like chess, one son falls and loses the whole game."

"Originally, Zhou Qiao could be ordered to send troops to Yuzhou, and then Liu Dai could be ordered to send troops to Jibeiguo and Taishan County, so that Liu Bei's Qingzhou soldiers would fall into the Yanyu War, and it would be difficult to intervene in Jizhou affairs."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed: "Qingzhou is already burdened by spring ploughing, and it has to send troops to relieve Beibei, Taishan and Yuzhou, where can I take care of Jizhou?" ”

"Liu Bei has Zheng Ping's plan, I have Ziyuan's plan, this Jizhou is at your fingertips!"

Xu You smiled proudly, and glanced at Feng Ji with a pair of cold and arrogant eyes, and there was more sarcasm in the corners of his eyes.

Feng Ji is so angry!

Xu You's sarcasm was too obvious.

Feng Ji admonished: "Duke Ming, although Xu Ziyuan's plan can get Jizhou, it may also make Yuan Shu successful in courting Dong." ”

"If Sun Jian can't return to Yuzhou, even if Duke Ming gets Jizhou, he will be controlled by Yuan Shu!"

"This matter has to be considered in the long run."
