Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Killing two birds with one stone, Gongsun Zan not only wanted to use this matter to worsen the relationship between Liu Yu and Liu Bei, but also used Liu Bei to take down Pingyuan Country and help him defend Pingyuan Country.

At this time, although the emperor was in Dong Zhuo's hands, everyone still obeyed the emperor on the surface.

The Pingyuan Kingdom was sealed by the imperial court, and attacking the Pingyuan Kingdom was a rebellion.

But Gongsun Zan is an ambitious person. Although he is only the prefect of Youbeiping, he has already planned the strategic steps in troubled times.

First, take Youzhou.

Second, annex Jizhou.

Third, occupy Qingzhou.

Fourth, send troops to merge the state.

These four steps were historically completed by Yuan Shao, but the sequence was different.

But this is also Gongsun Zan's strategic plan.

Taking Pingyuan is like placing a wedge in Qingzhou.

To the left, you can cooperate with the army of Youzhou to attack Jizhou in two ways.

To the right, Qingzhou can be wiped out.

Gongsun Zan certainly didn't have the guts to attack Pingyuan country, because he hadn't really occupied Youzhou yet.

Besides, there is no land route between Pingyuan Kingdom and Youzhou, and Yuan Shao's Bohai County is separated.

Even if it can be defeated, the lone army hangs in the plains, and if there are no very powerful generals in charge, it will be difficult to defend.

Liu Bei is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Gongsun Zan sneered in his heart, Liu Xuande, since you insist on following me, you have to show some sincerity.

You want to use me, Gongsun Zan, as a springboard, how can I make you so happy?

Guan Yu's eyesight was still very sharp, his expression changed immediately when he heard this, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"We are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty. If the elder brother confronts King Pingyuan in battle, it will be very detrimental to the elder brother's reputation."

Zhang Fei was angry: "Prefect Gongsun, you are clearly trying to make things difficult for my three brothers."

Gongsun Zan smiled faintly, "Why did Yide say that?"

"Yun Chang's words are for me, not for Xuande."

"If I lead my troops to Pingyuan Kingdom, Pingyuan King Liu Qi will definitely raise his army and fight with all his strength."

"So, if I want to take the plain, there must be a big battle."

"And Xuande has the identity of the clan of the Han family. If he only takes Yunchang and Yide to go, Liu Qi, the king of Pingyuan, will definitely not fortify himself."

"In this way, Xuande can conquer Pingyuan Kingdom without bloodshed."

"Without swordsmen meeting and without soldiers being killed or injured, how would outsiders know the inside story?"

"In this way, how will Yu Xuande's reputation be affected?"

Zhang Fei said angrily, "Isn't it extremely despicable to act like this?"

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and said, "Soldiers are deceitful."

"In troubled times, if everything is done in a dignified and upright way, Xuande will never be able to make a fortune in this life."

"That's all I've said. If Xuande agrees, I can rush to Pingyuan Kingdom immediately."

"After the matter is completed, you can send someone to report to me, and I will send someone to take over the power of Pingyuan Kingdom."

"In this way, Liu Qi, King of Pingyuan, will know that the one who took Pingyuan Kingdom is me, Gongsun Zan. Yu Xuande's reputation will have no effect, how?"

"Xuande, I will go back to Youzhou first, waiting for the good news from Xuande."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan bowed his hands to Liu Bei and the three, and led the White Horse Guards away.

After a while, only the three brothers Liu Bei were left standing on horseback.

Zhang Fei said, "Brother, this method is not advisable. Brother, don't fall for Gongsun Zan's tricks."

Guan Yu sighed slightly: "Yide, if this method is not used, where should the three of my brothers go?"

"This..." Zhang Fei paused for a while, how could he know where to take shelter.

You know, Liu Bei at this time has only just participated in the alliance of princes.

Although Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong, he was killed by Hua Yu until he cut off his beard and discarded his robe.

Although Guan Zhang fought hard and defeated Lu Bu, he was killed by Hua Yu at Jiguan and fled in a hurry.

As for the reputation, it has not been established.

As for the identity of the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, no one cares about him.

Which of these princes does not know that King Jing of Zhongshan has more than 100 sons, more than 300 years ago.

Before Liu Bei, there were not many people who pretended to be the descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, and almost all of them were fake.

Historically, after the emperor Liu Xie met Liu Bei, he continued his family tree with him, recognizing Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, because he wanted to use Liu Bei.

Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor was more powerful than Dong Zhuo's killing. The emperor Liu Xie wanted to find someone who could fight against Cao Cao.

The appearance of Liu Bei made the emperor Liu Xie's eyes brighten.

This guy looks weird. His ears are so long, his arms are so long, and there are two fierce generals in Guan Zhang. He will surely succeed in the future.

Therefore, the emperor Liu Xie didn't care whether Liu Bei's identity as the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan was true or not. He recognized it first, at least he could restrain Cao Cao and make it easier for Dong Cheng to get things out of it.

Otherwise, if Cao Cao hadn't coerced the emperor, it would be strange if the emperor Liu Xie would recognize Liu Bei's Han family clan status.

The result is bound to be, let me investigate, and I must investigate clearly. If it is impersonation, it will be divided into five horses.

Now, without the identity of the emperor's uncle, who in the world knows that there is a person named Liu Bei.

Just like, in the siege of Beihai, Tai Shici risked his life to break through, came to Pingyuan country, and asked Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei was so shocked that he blurted out, "Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai, knows that there is Liu Bei in this world."

It can be seen that at this time, Liu Bei's popularity is so low that it cannot be lowered.

Therefore, besides relying on Gongsun Zan, if Liu Bei attached himself to other princes, he would definitely kill him secretly and take the two members of Guan and Zhang together.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei and asked, "What do you think, brother?"

Liu Bei sighed slightly: "I don't want to miss Liu Bei, but I want to serve the country and protect the people, restore the Han Dynasty, and eradicate treacherous ministers. This road is so difficult."

"Right now, there are three of my brothers, no name, no official position, no territory."

"How to recruit soldiers and horses, how to restore the Han Dynasty, save the emperor from fire and water, and save the people from suffering?"

"So, I think that Gongsun Zan certainly used my three brothers to take down Pingyuan Kingdom."

"However, for the three of my brothers, is it not a chance?"

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, and said anxiously: "Brother, don't go around again, tell me quickly, what is the opportunity?"

Guan Yu understood what he heard, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Brother, do you mean money, food and soldiers?"

"Exactly." Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu appreciatively, and continued, "The reason why the three of my brothers struggle to start a family is because there is no food and no soldiers."

"And once my brothers can hibernate in the Pingyuan Kingdom, they can recruit troops and form a trilogy for my use."

A trace of confidence appeared at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth: "And if the three of my brothers have a team, when the world is in chaos, they can attack the city and uproot the ground. Why are you afraid that you will no longer have power, and why rely on others?"

Zhang Fei understood this time, and scratched his head: "However, the reputation of big brother..."

Liu Bei laughed loudly and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Although Gongsun Bogui's strategy is a bit sinister, his words hit the nail on the head, and soldiers use deceitful tricks."

"As for reputation, it's a simple matter."

"The king of Pingyuan, Liu Qi, has no way to govern the country, and the people of Pingyuan are miserable, and people have different thoughts."

"If you govern the plains with the law of benevolence and righteousness, why worry about the dissatisfaction of the people and your reputation?"

Guan Yu rejoiced and said, "Elder brother has far-sightedness and foresight, which is beyond the reach of younger brother."

"If this is the case, there will be no disadvantages but only advantages in a surprise attack on the plains. This method is feasible."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Okay, the three of my brothers will rush to Pingyuan Country."

"Drive..." Having made up their minds, Liu Bei and the three quickly headed towards the Pingyuan Kingdom.
