Liu Biao can't be blamed for this.

As the saying goes: Bandits are not terrible, but they are afraid that bandits are educated.

Although Yuan Shu was defeated in successive battles on the battlefields of Chenliu, Nanyang, and Yingchuan, and was besieged by several forces in Yangzhou, Yuan Shu always implemented the style of "as long as I have no morality, no one can morally kidnap me":

Wherever you go, grab it.

No food and grass? Find Yuan's protégé and former officials to apportion.

Dare to say half a word, "As a protégé of the Yuan family, I can't even give up grain and grass?" The ungrateful should be killed! Such reasons directly raided the house and robbed the money and grain.

No soldiers? Recruit bandits, bandits, and outcasts, and forcibly recruit strong men.

If you have money and food in hand, are you afraid that you will have no soldiers and no generals?

Yuan Shu did not have the good character of the famous Runan Yuan clan at all.

The wealthy families in the Huainan area dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only endure it silently.

After all, on the bright side, it is natural for the protégé of the Yuan family to provide money and food to Yuan Shu, the concubine of the Yuan family.

As for the ordinary Li Shu people who are homeless?

Yuan Shu has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, where does he care about the life and death of the ants?

Because of this, Liu Biao's slogan for sending troops is to come to Huainan to suppress bandits!

The words do not mention Yuan Shu, and every word points to Yuan Shu.

"Pass the order, let Sun Jian return to Shouchun and prepare for Xiakou."

"Liu Biao, the old horseman, wants to take advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou to snatch Huainan, but he doesn't dare to come openly."

"Dare to suppress bandits?"

"Ben will let you have no return!"

……

Zhuo County.

Gongsun Zhan looked at the white-robed young general in front of Liu Yu's mansion, and felt jealous: "Zhao Sima, there is no future for following Da Sima." ”

"Why don't you follow the general, how about the general let you lead the white horse Yicong?"

"With your ability, you will definitely be able to be famous all over the world!"

Zhao Yun clenched the bright silver spear, and looked at Gongsun Zhan with a wary and annoyed look: "General Gongsun, you and I are different, and we don't conspire with each other. ”

"If you don't have anything important, please leave!"

"If you want to be disrespectful to Da Sima, Yun will fight to the death, and I will also splash blood with you!"

Gongsun Zhan's eyes suddenly sank.

If this is said by another person, Gongsun Chan will directly let the guards around him drag him down and slaughter him.

However, the young man in front of him is Zhao Yun!

Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but think of the wine banquet that day, Zhao Yun's tiger general Wen Chou who defeated Yuan Shao in Shihe, and fought Yan Liang Wen Chou alone.

Although swords are used at the banquet, there are factors such as Yan Liangwen being ugly and not good at using swords, but Zhao Yun's bravery really makes Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao jealous.

The reason why Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan didn't dare to take down Liu Yu on the spot, as well as Zhao Yun's sentence "Those who hurt the big Sima should be splashed with hatred and blood"!

The venue of the banquet was so big, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan didn't dare to bet on whether Zhao Yun could "splash three feet of revenge".

When the saber rattling, it was Liu Yu who took the initiative to give up resistance.

If it weren't for this, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would not have been able to put Liu Yu under house arrest so easily.

"Zhao Sima, good birds choose trees to perch, don't make mistakes."

Gongsun Chan gave up his plan to see Liu Yu.

After Gongsun Chan left, Zhao Yun entered to see Liu Yu.

Liu Yu seems to be ten years older, and his mental state is not as good as before.

"If it weren't for the old man who didn't listen to Yuan Hao and Zilong's good words, and mistakenly believed Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, he wouldn't have fallen to this."

"Zilong, you don't have to stay in Zhuo County."

"With your talent, if you go to Qingzhou Xuande, you will definitely be valued."

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Da Sima knows that there is danger, but he also wants to go to the banquet, so that the soldiers and people of Changshan can avoid the suffering of military disasters." ”

"If Yun abandons Da Sima and goes to Qingzhou alone, how can he see Xuande Gong?"

"How can a husband be greedy for life and fear death if he has no faith and no righteousness?"

"If Xuande Gong knew about the changes in Youzhou, he would also try it."

"The responsibility of the cloud is to protect the Great Sima!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's insistence, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan used Yangmou.

The bet is that Liu Yu is unlikely to sit idly by while watching hundreds of thousands of soldiers being involved in military disasters.

When Liu Yu went to the banquet and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan met each other, Liu Yu already understood that the situation in Youzhou was no longer something he could change.

Liu Yu, who couldn't bear Zhao Yun's life in vain, chose to tie his hands when Zhao Yun was ready to fight hard.

Government Office.

Gongsun Zhan, who was deflated in front of Zhao Yun, was angry.

Gongsun Fan, who learned the original story, comforted: "Brother, Zhao Yun is a native of Changshan, loyal and brave, and it is impossible for him to be attached to his brother." ”

"Now that Liu Yu refuses to be the emperor, why don't you change your brother to Liu He?"

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly: "Ben asked Liu He and threatened Liu He with Liu Yu's life, but Liu He refused to obey." ”

"What else do you say about dying for the big man, father and son are all named, and they die well!"

"I don't know what to do!"

Gongsun Fan frowned: "Liu He doesn't agree either, so he can only support other clan kings." ”

"It's better to change the establishment of Liu Jie, the king of Hejian, Liu Jie, the king of Hejian, is a brother of the same origin and generation as the current Son of Heaven after Liu Kai of Hejian Kingdom."

Gongsun Chan shook his head: "But in this way, it will be difficult for us to order the counties of Youzhou." ”

Gongsun Fan smiled and said: "Brother, even if we support Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, we can let Liu Yu continue to be the great Sima!" ”

"This support has to be counted as Liu Yu's father and son."

Gongsun Chan suddenly woke up.

Supporting Liu Yu is convenient to order Youzhou.

But if the new Son of Heaven is supported by Liu Yu, not only can he continue to command Youzhou, but also make it easier for the New Son of Heaven to be recognized!

"Brother Fan is right!"

Gongsun Chan was full of energy, as if he had seen himself as a general!

Just when Gongsun Zhan and Gongsun Fan were discussing the establishment of Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, Sun Rui, a scholar and servant, also went to Zhuo County through Zhongshan Kingdom.

But as soon as Gongsun Zhan saw that he was the messenger of Chang'an, he became angry: "Brother Yue died at the hands of the Xiliang soldiers, and the general was worried that there was no sacrifice to Brother Yue." ”

"It's just right, kill this Shang scholar, and use it as a sacrifice to Brother Yue!"

"When he breaks through Chang'an one day, he will take Dong Zhuo's head again to comfort Brother Yue's spirit in the sky!"

It was Gongsun Zhan's confidant Gongsun Ji who reported the news, and Gongsun Ji saw that Gongsun Chan was going to kill Shesun Rui, so he hurriedly said: "General, no!" ”

"After Nashi Sun Rui came to Zhuocheng, he said with great fanfare at the gate of the city that the imperial court named the general as the former general, Yi Hou, the governor of Qingjiyou, and the soldiers and horses of the four states."

Gongsun Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It turned out that Feng Ben will be a former general, this Dong Zhuo is already afraid!" ”

"But Dong Zhuo also underestimated me too much!"

"If you can be a general, why do you want to be a current general?"

"Take a false name, do you want Ben to give up the support in his hands?"

"Moreover, Brother Yue's revenge can't be avenged!"

Gongsun Chan hesitated.

Gongsun Ji saw that Gongsun Zhan was hesitating, and said: "General, Shisun Rui also said that Shi Ma Teng, Shi Zang Hong and Liu Qingzhou of Yanzhou have all received the holy decree of Chen Bing to go north. ”

It's okay if Gongsun Ji doesn't say it, this statement directly angered Gongsun Zhan.

In this life, Gongsun Chan hates the most is the threat of others.

Dong Zhuo is a thing, and he deserves it!

Gongsun Chan said angrily: "This group of ministers of the court and the central government will play tricks!" ”

"Do you really think that Ben will be so easily deceived?"

"Since Dong Zhuo dares to threaten with military might, then he will not return the salute, wouldn't it make him proud?"

"Gongsun Ji, you personally supervise the beheading, and let the deputy envoy bring back the dog head of the soldier Sun Rui to Dong Zhuo."

"Let the deputy envoy tell Dong Zhuo: Ben will personally lead the army and break through Chang'an!"

"Ah Fan, you send someone to Qingzhou again to deliver a letter to Xuande."

"Tell Xuande that Da Sima has agreed to support Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, as emperor!"

"If Xuande is willing to come, he will be a general, and Xuande can be a hussar general!"

"Send someone to tell Yuan Shao again, let him send Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, to Zhuo County and prepare for the enthronement ceremony!"

Gongsun Fan hesitated: "Brother, what if Liu Qingzhou refuses to come?" ”

Gongsun Chan was silent.

But there was only a moment of silence.

"Ben will treat Xuande like a brother, if he doesn't come, Ben will not be reluctant."

"When Ben will break through Chang'an and there is only one son of the Han family in the world, Xuande will naturally come!"

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao probed Chang'an's response and hurriedly summoned the strategists to discuss.

"Dong Zhuo, this husband, actually asked Sun Rui, a scholar of Shangshu, to go to Zhuojun to announce the decree, and confer the title of the former general of Sun Zhan, Yi Hou, and the governor of Qingji and Youyou."

"He also ordered Ma Teng, Zang Hong and Liu Bei and Chen Bing to go north."

"He also named Meng De as the assassin of Yuzhou, the general of Zhendong, and the Marquis of Fei Ting."

"What's even more infuriating is that Dong Zhuo actually publicized these news wantonly, as if I didn't know!"

"Hateful! Annoying! ”

Although Yuan Shao looked down on the canonization of the imperial court, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao were all sealed, but he did not seal himself.

This made Yuan Shao feel very faceless.

Yuan Shao could sternly refuse Chang'an's official title, but he couldn't bear to be ignored by Chang'an.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if Gongsun Chan agrees to the current general, our previous plan will fail."

Yuan Shao was a little worried.

This is a great opportunity to support a new son of heaven!

As long as the new Son of Heaven is established, then the people of Kwantung do not need to listen to the decree of Chang'an.

At that time, Yuan Shao got rid of Gongsun Chan on the grounds that Gongsun Chan was under house arrest without authorization, and with the prestige of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, this new son of heaven and the new court did not have to listen to him Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu smiled: "Don't worry! Dong Zhuo sealed the former general of Gongsun Zhan, Yi Hou, and the governor Qing Jiyou and his troops, but he ordered Ma Teng, Zang Hong, and Liu Bei and Chen Bing to go north. ”

"This is to lure them into advantage and deter them."

"With Gongsun Zhan's personality, if Dong Zhuo is just a marquis and a general, maybe this thing can still be done."

"However, Dong Zhuo's vain attempt to deter Gongsun Chan with military might is a taboo against Gongsun Chan, not only will it not succeed, but it will make Gongsun Chan speed up the pace of supporting the new son of heaven."

"This person who offers advice, if he is not a self-respecting person who talks on paper, he must have a big enmity with Dong Zhuo."

Xu Yu also said: "The public rule is reasonable. Gongsun Chan eats soft and not hard, if he talks to Gongsun Chan with good words and flatters a few words, maybe Gongsun Chan weighs the pros and cons and agrees to Chang'an's canonization. ”

"But to deter Gongsun Chan with military might, hehe, who is Gongsun Chan? He is a person who even Liu Yu dares to kill, how can he be coerced by Dong Zhuo? ”

"If Gongsun Chan agrees to be canonized because of Dong Zhuo's military might, it is equivalent to telling the world: Gongsun Chan is afraid of Dong Zhuo, so he listens to the canonization!"

"It's a pity, this Chang'an counselor has some strategies, but not much."

"Duke Ming can send someone to tell Gongsun Zhan: The soldiers and horses of Bingzhou and Yanzhou will come to block it, and Liu Bei of Qingzhou will be handed over to Gongsun Zhan."

Although Feng Ji was dissatisfied with Xu You and Guo Tu, he also knew that now was not the time to slander Xu You and Guo Tu.

But if you don't speak, it seems that you have no ability, so Feng Ji also arched his hand:

"Duke Ming, Liu Yu's father and son are very loyal to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, and the two of them will not agree to be emperors."

"According to Gongsun Zhan's original idea, he wanted to wait for all the counties and counties in Youzhou to surrender, and then change the clan king to be the emperor."

"But now, Dong Zhuo's persecution has forced Gongsun Zhan to immediately change to other clan kings."

"The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for Gongsun Zhan!"

"We also have to thank Dong Zhuo for letting Ming Gong's ambition be rewarded."

Yuan Shao saw that all the strategists thought that this was a good thing, and the worry in his heart gradually disappeared.

As long as it does not affect the final plan, it is not impossible to block the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Merge for Gongsun Zhan.

Right now.

The messenger of Gongsun Chan arrived.

The strategists laughed and remained silent.

Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned Gongsun Zhan's envoy, and when he heard Gongsun Zhan's request to send Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, to Zhuo County to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, the last trace of worry in Yuan Shao's heart disappeared completely.

"Haha, as expected!"

"Dong Zhuo has added to the snake and angered Gongsun Zhan!"

The envoy also revealed that Gongsun Zhan had killed Sun Rui, the scholar who had announced the decree.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao took the case: "The time has come, the opportunity I am waiting for has come!" ”

"Quickly summon Yan Liangwen Chou, be sure to send Liu Ying, the king of Hejian, to Zhuocheng safely, if there is any damage, they don't have to come back."

"Haha! God help me! God help me! ”

Wait for Gongsun Zhan's envoy to leave.

Xu You was the first to get up and congratulated: "Congratulations on the great cause of Ming Gong!" As long as Gongsun Chan supports Liu Ye, the king of Hejian, as the emperor, he will become the target of public criticism regardless of success or failure. ”

"When Gong Ming gets rid of Gongsun Zhan, you can serve the Son of Heaven to order the Quartet, and you don't have to worry about the unknown teacher."

"Then Dong Zhuo thought that if he moved west to the Son of Heaven and entered Chang'an, he could follow the example of King Qin and chaos in the eastern part of the country, but unfortunately, Dong Zhuo is not a strong Qin, and the Ming Duke is not a weak Zhao!"

Feng Ji also hurriedly got up: "Congratulations to Ming Gong on his great cause!" His subordinates were willing to raise troops to the Yellow River crossing to resist Zang Hong. ”

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others also congratulated one after another.

Yuan Shao laughed even more: "If you succeed in a great success, you are all important ministers of the society!" You must work together and not spoil the country's major affairs because of petty private grievances. ”

The other side.

Gongsun Zhan's messenger also came to Linzi City.

learned that Gongsun Zan had killed Sun Rui, a scholar who had announced the decree, and invited himself to support Liu Yi, the king of Hejian, as emperor.

Liu Bei was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Liu Bei stared at the messenger and asked, "Where is Da Sima now?" ”

With Liu Bei's shouting, Chen Dao, the newly promoted commander of the guard, directly drew his sword and put it on the messenger's neck.

The envoy was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and hurriedly said: "Da Sima has been recuperating in Zhuocheng, but where it is, the villain really doesn't know." ”

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Zhi, take care of this person, and quickly go and ask Xianmou, Yun Chang and Yide to discuss it!" ”
