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

Gongsun Zan is not a fool, of course he also understands that there is a reason for the end of the egg under the overturned nest.

If Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei were all wiped out by Hua Yu, he would either be wiped out next, or he would follow Sun Quan's path and hand over his military power.

Anyone who can become a vassal is not an ambitious person, let alone Gongsun Zan is also a veteran vassal.

There are two reasons why Sun Quan surrendered his military power.

First, he had just become a vassal and was still a little politically immature, so he was fooled by Zhou Yu.

Second, even if the three sisters followed Hua Yu, Sun Quan could live safely.

But Gongsun Zan is different, he may not give up power for nothing, and besides, he has no sister or daughter, Hua Yu, who can guarantee his life without worry.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan would not surrender to Hua Yu, so he agreed to Yuan Shao's conditions.

In this way, an armistice agreement was reached.

Yuan Shao withdrew from Shanggu County and handed over Zhang He, and Gongsun Zan withdrew from Jizhou.

The battle for hegemony in Jizhou, which lasted for nearly two years, finally came to an end.

Production in Jizhou has been greatly affected, far beyond the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past.

Although Youzhou was not affected too much by the flames of war, Gongsun Zan's military aggression and Zhang Yun's disturbance in Shanggu County made Youzhou exhausted.

Qingzhou is better, because Liu Bei sent troops from Pingyuan to the west, and the battlefield was not in Qingzhou.

Regarding the ownership of Qingzhou, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao really had a good discussion.

The southern part of Pingyuan State, Jinan State, Qi State and the southern part of Beihai State belonged to Yuan Shao,

The northern part of Pingyuan Kingdom, Le'an Kingdom, northern Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County belonged to Gongsun Zan.

It is said that Yuan Shao's secret envoy came to Shanggu County, secretly found Han Meng, and handed the secret letter to Han Meng.

After Han Meng saw it, he couldn't help being surprised.

In the secret letter, Yuan Shao asked him to attack Zhang Xi, and after arresting him, he escorted him south.

Zhang He has made great achievements and has no rebellious intentions. Yuan Shao actually wanted to take him, but it was a rebellion in name.

Han Meng didn't dare to tell the truth when he said that others were rebelling, but he had been with Zhang Yun during this time and witnessed Zhang Yun's dedication to Yuan Shao's great cause.

Zhang Yun not only wanted to keep Shanggu County, but also wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle and bring greater influence to Gongsun Zan.

Anytime, anywhere, Zhang He always put Yuan Shao's interests first.

How could such a loyal minister rebel?

Moreover, they still colluded with Hua Yu.

If Zhang He had really colluded with Hua Yu, Hua Yu would have sent troops to Youzhou long ago to attack Zhang Yun from left to right, take down Daijun, and join Bingzhou as one.

After receiving the letter, Han Meng stayed up all night, thinking about whether to carry out Yuan Shao's order.

Early the next morning, Han Meng received a letter from Zhang Yun asking him to discuss the military situation.

Could it be that Zhang He knew about Yuan Shao sending the secret letter?
Feeling a little uneasy, Han Meng came to Zhang Xi's Chinese army camp.

As soon as Han Meng entered the door, Zhang He laughed and said to him, "General Han, what a happy event."

Happy event?
In a word, Han Meng was stunned, what a happy event?

What happy event will there be at this time?
Daijun, Zhuojun, Yuyang and Guangyang counties, with a total of [-] soldiers and horses, attacked Shanggu County almost day and night.

During this period of time, Zhang He and Han Meng have been so busy defending against the soldiers from the four routes that they didn't even have time to sleep peacefully.

Because the four groups of soldiers and horses were attacking together, Zhang He and Han Meng could not counterattack and could only defend passively.

They also know that as long as they can block the joint attack of these soldiers and horses, once the opponent suffers heavy casualties, it is their time to counterattack.

However, it is not so easy to survive the situation of being passively beaten. It is said that Gongsun Zan is still planning to continue to increase his troops, and he is determined to take down Shanggu County at all costs.

In this case, what great joy can there be?

Unless, Gongsun Zan retreated.

Han Meng walked into the big tent and asked, "General, what's the big deal?"

Zhang He laughed loudly and said, "The Youzhou army has retreated, and all the Youzhou armies of the four routes have retreated."

All four Youzhou armies have retreated?
Han Meng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "General, is this true?"

Zhang He nodded with a smile: "Early in the morning, I received reports from the defenders of the border cities, saying that the Youzhou Army had retreated."

"Besides, they sent scouts to investigate, and the Youzhou army really retreated, not pretending to retreat."

Han Meng was extremely curious, and asked, "Why did the Youzhou Army retreat suddenly?"

"Although our defense is not weak, after all, our troops are limited and divided into four places, so we cannot defend for a long time."

Zhang He said with a smile: "I have also considered this issue after receiving the news."

"Based on my guess, the lord must have reached a settlement with Gongsun Zan."

Han Meng was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "My lord hates Gongsun Zan for killing his brother."

"But Gongsun Zan has a grudge against the Lord, how can he resolve it?"

Zhang He smiled slightly: "It's normal for princes to fight for hegemony, conquer each other, and cause casualties and losses to each other."

"However, compared to the plan of life and death, these are not problems."

"If my predictions are correct, their reconciliation and alliance this time must have something to do with Hua Yu."

"Hua Yu destroyed Ma Teng and defeated Sun Ce. His strength is unrivaled."

"Right now, if we want to resist Hua Yu, the only way is for the princes of the Guandong to join forces again. Otherwise, just like how Qin destroyed the six kingdoms in the past, the princes of the Guandong will be wiped out one by one by Hua Yu."

"If it's you and me, as long as we each take a step back and meet each other's requirements, reconciliation will naturally follow."

"I estimate that Gongsun Zan's request must be that we withdraw from Shanggu County, and the master's request must also be that Gongsun Zan withdraw from Jizhou and then divide Qingzhou equally."

Hearing Zhang Xi's words, Han Meng's heart was shocked, and he understood instantly.

Gongsun Zan's request, in addition to Yuan Jun's withdrawal from Shanggu County, also required Zhang He's life, which is why Yuan Shao suddenly asked him to take Zhang He down.

Han Meng suddenly felt sad, sighed slightly, and thought to himself, my lord, my lord, is this how you treat heroes?
First Tian Feng, then Zhang Yun, who will be next?
For a moment, Han Meng suddenly felt a cold feeling on his lips and teeth.

Zhang He also noticed that something was wrong with Han Meng, and immediately asked with concern: "General Han, your complexion is not very good, and your eye circles are a bit dark, did you not have a good rest last night?"

"Now that the war is over, we can rest easy. General Han, let's go back and catch up on sleep."

"Thank you, General." Han Meng bowed his hands to Zhang Yun, turned around and walked outside the big tent.

However, when he reached the door of the big tent, Han Meng stopped suddenly, touched the letter in his arms, turned around and walked back.

Zhang He was stunned for a moment, and asked, "General Han has gone and returned, but what else is there to do?"
