The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Gongsun Yue, when will Gongsun Bosui deliver the money and food that he promised me?" Gongsun Du looked at Gongsun Yue standing below, and asked very dissatisfied.

"Liaodong Marquis, my eldest brother is very angry that you forcibly forced the war zone in western Liaoning. You should quickly withdraw from western Liaoning, otherwise my eldest brother will come to fetch you." Gongsun Yue came with Gongsun Zan's mission, not to accept Gongsun Du's questioning Instead, he came to question why Gongsun Du took over Liaoxi.

"Hmph! Gongsun Zan didn't believe me. He promised me a county in return for my help. Now that the enemy has retreated, if he doesn't give it to me, I will take it for myself. If he dares to come, I will lead the army to fight. "If Gongsun Du dared to occupy western Liaoning, he would not be afraid of Gongsun Zan's attack.

"My elder brother was seriously injured a few days ago, so he can't manage the affairs. Now he has just started to improve, but it's just an occasional delay. You should quit Liaoxi and wait for my elder brother to send you another county." Gongsun Yue also felt that Gongsun Zan It's a bit out of place, but as Gongsun Zan's younger brother, he must of course help Gongsun Zan speak.

"Hmph, only Liaoxi borders our land in Liaodong. I don't need to discuss the other counties for what purpose I want them. Go back quickly and bring over the money and food that Gongsun Zan promised me. Otherwise, I will bring my own army to fetch them. "Gongsun Du is not an idiot either. The whole of Youzhou is bordered by his Liaodong in western Liaoning. If Gongsun Zan gave him other counties, would he dare to take it.

Gongsun Yue returned in vain and returned to Gongsun Zan to report to him. He had nothing to do if Gongsun Du did not withdraw from western Liaoning.

"Hmph, damn Gongsundu, do you think I'm afraid of him? If he doesn't leave the land of western Liaoning in the spring, I will take it myself." Gongsun Zan's injury is just right, because he lost his strongest hole card, Baima Yicong, and now looks old a lot.

"My lord, Youzhou has just gone through a war and has suffered heavy losses. It is not appropriate to start a war again. It is time to recuperate and recover to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking again. Although the land in the west of Liaoning is vast, it is poor, so why not send it to Gongsun Du."

"In the future, when the lord is powerful, Liaoxi and Liaodong can also be occupied. Now it is not suitable to fight with Gongsun Du, and take advantage of Yuan Shao or Xianbei."

As Gongsun Zan's only military adviser, Tian Yu immediately prevented Gongsun Zan from sending troops to attack Gongsun Du. Gongsun Zan no longer had the strength he used to have, and he couldn't compete with Gongsun Du. The current force was quite good enough to hold the existing territory, and he was powerless to fight Gongsun Du at all. Degree challenge.

1 Chapter Fifty

"Hmph, should I lose a county for nothing? And Gongsun Du begged me for money and food, and I would give it to you?" Gongsun Zan is also considered a hero, and he has reached his current position step by step by his own ability. It may be possible to suffer such a loss.

"My lord, money and food are trivial matters, and they are all gifts from Uncle Liu Huang to Gongsun Du, so there is no harm in giving them. Now, it is the best policy to withdraw troops for a truce, recruit troops and buy horses, and strengthen our strength." Tian Yu saw that Gongsun Du was still fussing about money and food. I feel very upset, what time is it now, and I still care about a little money.

"Now that my strength is greatly weakened, it takes a lot of money to recruit troops. If I give it to Gongsun Du, how can I recruit troops? Instead, let Gongsun Du strengthen his strength and raise troops to attack. How can I refuse?" How could money be given to Gongsun like this.

"My lord and Uncle Liu have a close relationship, so I can ask Uncle Liu for another batch of money. I think Uncle Liu will definitely live up to my request." Tian Yu turned his attention to Liu Bei.

"Here, I owe Xuande a lot, so how can I speak to him again." Although Gongsun Zan said so, his heart was already very excited, his eyes were flickering, Tian Yu saw everything in his eyes.

"My lord, I would like to go to Linzi, Qingzhou on behalf of my lord. On my behalf, I can thank Uncle Liu Huangshu for his help. At the same time, I can ask Uncle Liu Huangshu for a lot of money and food so that my lord can recover his strength." Tian Yu immediately stepped forward to ask for orders.

"Then Lao Guo asked me to go on my behalf to thank Xuande for his help, and I will definitely repay it generously in the future. At the same time, when Xuande's money and food arrive, I will send the money and food that Gongsun Du asked for." Gongsun Zan finally compromised, the most important thing now is to increase his strength, and fighting Gongsun Du would be very detrimental to him.

But Gongsun Zan kept a mind in mind that he had to get Liu Bei's money and food before giving the money and food in his hand to Gongsun Du.Originally, this was indeed a good calculation, but unfortunately, it was because of this small calculation that Gongsun Zan lost his life, and the entire land of Youzhou was also taken by Gongsun Du.

Just as Tian Yu braved the severe cold and left for Linzi, Qingzhou, the Gongsun Du tribe stationed in the west of Liaoxi began to gather slowly, and mobilized a lot of food and grass from Liaodong.

Gongsundu had already decided that once the weather got warmer and he still couldn't get the money and food that Liu Bei promised to give him, he would send troops to kill Gongsun Zan, and directly occupied the entire Youzhou.

If it was before, Gongsun Du didn't have the courage. After all, Gongsun Zan's strength is not inferior, and he has a very terrifying cavalry, Baima Yicong.

But today is different from the past, Gongsun Zan's strength has been greatly damaged now, and Baima Yicong has been completely wiped out by Yuan Shao.

Qingzhou, Linzi, Liu Bei's residence.

"Don't drive Tian Yu to Youzhou Mu, and meet General Hussars!" Tian Yu spent nearly a month traveling around and hiding, and finally passed through Yuan Shao's territory Jizhou and came to Qingzhou.

"Bo Sui and I are brothers and sisters, so there is no need for courtesies." Liu Bei stopped Tian Yu from saluting, then turned around and ordered someone to hold a banquet in honor of Tian Yu.

"General Hussars, my lord asked me to thank the general for his help. This is a gift of thanks." Tian Yu asked his followers to present the gift.Regardless of fatigue, Tian Yu started to complete his task as soon as he arrived.

"Bo Sui has a heart, and Bo Sui and I don't need to do this." Liu Bei asked people to accept the gift with a smile, and then sat down with Tian Yu.As for the gift, Liu Bei didn't bother to look at it. Today's Liu Bei really doesn't pay much attention to the so-called gift, unless it is a peerless treasure of the same level as He's Bi.

"General, for my visit this time, in addition to thanking the general for your kindness on behalf of my lord, I also..." Tian Yu just said the key point, and a person walked in quickly, interrupting Tian Yu's continuation .

"Hehe, don't Tian come all the way. You have worked hard all the way, so you should rest earlier." The person who came in was Chen Ziming. He had already received a secret report from the secret guard that Tian Yu came to Linzi, and he also guessed what Tian Yu was doing here.

Now is the critical moment when the arrow is on the string and Chen Ziming doesn't want Tian Yu to ruin his event.Originally, Chen Ziming arranged for Jie Tianyu to stay here first, and let him talk about it after a while, but Tian Yu was so anxious that he came to see Liu Bei himself.

After Chen Ziming received the news, he hurried over to prevent Tian Yu from revealing the real purpose here at the critical moment.

"Ziming is right. It's really my fault. Come here, please ask Tian not to drive down to rest." Seeing Chen Ziming winking at him, Liu Bei immediately understood and sent Tian Yu away.

Tian Yu can't help it, the master has sent a message to see off the guests, how can he stay here and not leave.

"Ziming, Tian Guorang has something important to come here, why stop him from speaking out?" Liu Bei is not an idiot either, he could tell at a glance that Tian Yu was hesitant to speak just now, and his face was in a hurry, there must be something important Talk to Liu Bei.

"Hehe, big brother, Tian Yu braved the cold winter and came all the way, and there will be nothing important. Now that Gongsun Zan has lost a lot, he must ask the lord for money to restore his strength." Chen Ziming did not hide Liu Bei's Tian Yu's arrival. There is nothing to hide about the purpose of asking for a meeting.

"Here, Bo Sui is in trouble. I will help him. Why don't you let Tian Guorang speak out?" Liu Bei was puzzled. Supporting Gongsun Zan with some money was nothing to Liu Bei, who was rich and powerful. He didn't know why Chen Ziming wanted to stop him.

"Brother, a few days ago, in order to repay General Gongsun's kindness in the past, I did my best. Not only did I support him with a large amount of food and grass, but also sent a huge amount of wealth. Please ask Gongsun Du to send troops to help and retreat Yuan Shao's soldiers. The old kindness should have been repaid. Now my lord I don't owe General Gongsun anything." Chen Ziming shook his head, disagreeing with Liu Bei's approach.

"Furthermore, Fuzhou continues to be supported by a large amount of money. Within two years, Fuzhou will not be able to support itself; the expansion of the navy will also require a lot of money; in the spring of the coming year, the army will go north, and the money, food, and grass will be even more numerous."

"Brother, have you thought about the needs of the people of Fuzhou, the navy, and the army of the Northern Expedition." Chen Ziming had to remind Liu Bei that he does have a lot of money and food, but Zi himself also needs huge expenses.

The money is hard-won, so Liu Bei cannot be allowed to waste it at will. Besides, if Liu Bei agrees to help Gongsun Zan at once, wouldn't Chen Ziming's calculations come to naught? In this way, not only will Gongsun Zan's Youzhou It was easy to get it, and the Gongsundu army in Liaodong also came to deal with Liu Bei's Northern Expedition army without any damage.

No matter what, Chen Ziming wanted to prevent Liu Bei from giving support to Gongsun Zan, which would harm his plans and the interests of Liu Bei's group.

Chapter 151

"If Bo Sui doesn't restore his strength in time, it may be difficult to resist Yuan Benchu's army. At that time, the land of Youzhou will fall into Yuan Benchu's hands, and our Qingzhou will also be in danger." Liu Bei didn't mention the words of thanking Gongsun Zan again, Chen Ziming had already said very much Got it, Liu Bei doesn't owe Gongsun Zan anything now.However, Gongsun Zan's recovery of strength can also delay Yuan Shao, which is also very beneficial to Liu Bei.

"Brother, don't worry. Within a year, Yuan Shao will be unable to attack Youzhou again. After a year, the big brother's army will occupy the land of Liaodong, so you can directly send troops to help Gongsun Zan retreat Yuan Shao's army." Chen Ziming drew a huge cake for Liu Bei, Chen Ziming is confident that within a year, he will kill Gongsundu and occupy the entire land of Liaodong.

As for helping Gongsun Zan resist Yuan Shao, it depends on whether Gongsun Zan can live to that time. Even if he lives to that time, Chen Ziming will find a way to use Yuan Shao's hand to kill Gongsun Zan, the stumbling block, and take over the entire Youzhou in a justifiable name.

In this way, even if you can occupy Youzhou, you can also explain to Liu Bei. Anyway, the result is the same, but the premise is that Gongsun Zan's strength should not be too strong, otherwise it will be very difficult for anyone to take care of him.

Of course, it would be the best result for Gongsun Du to kill Gongsun Zan now. First, it would make Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan lose their strength in the fight. Second, it would allow Liu Bei's army to occupy the entire Youzhou in a legitimate manner. Third, Yuan Shao has no ability now. When sending troops, Liu Bei's army does not need to face Yuan Shao's huge army immediately.

As long as Liu Bei occupies the entire territory of Youzhou within one year, recruits 20 troops in Youzhou, and then forms a few cavalry, he will not be afraid of Yuan Shao at that time.

Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou echo each other. Liu Bei will no longer be afraid of any princes. As long as he has enough troops, he will not be afraid to face Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian at the same time.

"Gongtai, don't let Tian Yu see the lord, if you really can't avoid it, let him come to see me." After Chen Ziming left Liu Bei's place, he found Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is now Liu Bei's secretary-general and chief executive, and he can definitely stop Tian Yu. As long as Tian Yu can't see Liu Bei, Tian Yu's request for help from Liu Bei can be delayed.

"Military teacher, don't worry." Chen Gong has long seen Chen Ziming's plan, and of course he will take such a big matter to heart.

Sure enough, Tian Yu kept begging to see Liu Bei from the second day onwards, but was rejected by Chen Gong with various reasons. Chen Gong also gave various reasons, but Tian Yu was helpless.

Liu Bei is sleeping and won't wake up for a while.Liu Bei is in a bad mood today and doesn't want to see guests.Liu Bei went to Linzi Daying today and is not in the mansion.Liu Bei visited a certain great scholar and asked Tian Yu to come back another day.

Tian Yu is not an idiot, once or twice is fine, but it has been more than ten times, Liu Bei is busy this time, so he can't see Tian Yu, Tian Yu immediately realized that Liu Bei didn't want to see him.

Under Chen Gong's suggestion, Tian Yu came to see Chen Ziming with a gift.

"Brother Guorang, it's not that my lord doesn't want to see you, it's because my lord has difficulties." Seeing Tian Yu, Chen Ziming started to excuse Liu Bei before Tian Yu asked for help.

"When General Gongsun was fighting Yuan Shao, my lord mobilized a large amount of food and money to support General Gongsun from the ruler, which left the granary empty and unable to help General Gongsun."

Chen Ziming shook his head, expressing that Liu Bei can't do anything now, Tian Yu, you'd better stop asking for money and food.
