Li Li looked at Gongsun Zan approvingly with a smile all over his face, and said with a smile: "No one else, I want to conspire with General Gongsun for big things. Hahaha"

Chapter 948 Fish and Dragon Dance, the True Colors of the Han People

Thank you: book friend lipase2000, those who believe in me will get the monthly support of the book friend of eternal life, thank you!

Yijing Castle was brightly lit and stayed on all night.

By the fifth watch, the four doors were wide open, and thousands of warriors came in and out, tossing all night.As a result, the people in the city woke up in the middle of the night, curled up on the couch, watched the movement outside through the broken lattice window tremblingly, and sat in fear all night, not daring to close their eyes for fear that they would never wake up again after falling asleep. coming.

The next morning, it cleared up after the snow.A ray of morning light pierced the sky and sprinkled the long-lost sunshine on the earth, making people in the ice and snow feel a little warm, the cold was slightly relieved, and the hearts that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly became brighter.

Yijing, camp south of the city.In the large tent of the Chinese army, the maids and soldiers were shunned, and Li Li, who hadn't slept all night, sat opposite Gongsun Zan.There was a stove on the desk, and a jug of fine wine was warming on the stove. The two changed the wine, kept silent, and drank dull wine for half an hour.

At midnight last night, after Gongsun Zan made it clear, everything was a foregone conclusion. The general trend was that Youzhou changed hands.Even if Gongsun Zan was unwilling in every possible way, it would be in vain, with a sword and a sword, what else could he do?

That night, Li Li's army marched into Yijing City, officially took over the city defense, and took over Gongsun Zan and his civil and military families.Then all the staff members of Youzhou stayed in the castle and cooperated with Guo Jia, Mi Zhu, Gao Shun and others who came later to take over the military affairs of Youzhou. Counties and counties under control.Wait until the Chang'an General's Mansion sends civil officials to officially take over the government affairs of the counties and counties before posting the notice.Make the news of Youzhou's change of ownership public.During this period, we will not make any announcements to the outside world for the time being, and we will be pragmatic and not unrealistic.The most urgent task is to take over the city and the treasury as soon as possible, and the integration of the army is the top priority.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan was forced to have no choice but to arrest him, so he went out of the city with Li Li to the camp in the south of the city.During the period when Guo Jia, Mi Zhu, and Youzhou officials arranged to take over the city and reorganize Youzhou's soldiers and horses, Li Li kept Gongsun Zan by his side, and they lived in the barracks together, eating and sleeping together.Get along day and night.This move is not only to restrict Gongsun Zan's freedom, but also to test him, and it is also a great courtesy.

In the big tent.The charcoal in the stove made a "chichi" sound from time to time, and the wine jar on the stove gave off a rich and mellow aroma, which is the unique aroma of Jiuquan fine wine, rich and long-lasting.Refreshing.

"Google" sound.After drinking another cup of wine, Gongsun Zan's five-inch long beard was slightly stained with wine, his face was flushed, and his forehead was wrinkled into the word "Chuan", showing his depression and slovenliness.Li Li, who was sitting opposite him, put down the wine bottle unhurriedly after seeing this, then clapped his hands lightly, and the attendant who had already been waiting outside the tent walked in quickly.Following Li Li's instructions, remove the wine bottle and the wine jar from the stove.Replace with freshly cooked tea.

After dismissing the attendants with a wave of his hand, Li Li poured two cups of fragrant tea with his own hands, and put one cup in front of Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan picked up the teacup, nodded lightly in thanks, then took a sip of tea, and said softly, "In a few days, Youzhou will be completely under the rule of the General, what will the General plan to do then? Execute in secret, or Canonical punishment to appease the people of Youzhou?"

Hearing the sound, Li Li raised his eyes to look at Gongsun Zan, but saw that his expression was indifferent and his eyes were dim, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, there was no trace of fear in his brows, as if he had accepted his fate.Li Li was not surprised by this. After all, Gongsun Zan was a prince along the way before. As a prince of the separatist side, he should have the consciousness to wait for the slaughter after his defeat.

After thinking for a moment, Li Li smiled lightly, and said in a calm tone: "I am in a different place, so what if General Gongsun sits in my place?"

Gongsun Zan's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became darker. After hesitating for a while, he gently wiped off the water stains on his beard, and said in a low voice, "If it were me, I would cut the weeds and root out the roots, so as to avoid future troubles."

Li Li nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "General Gongsun is really bold, no matter where he is, he never loses his true qualities of a hero, and he speaks quickly, which is admirable. If there is something unclear about Li, please ask the general to enlighten me. I have a grudge with the general before. Or has there been a rift for a long time, and the fire and water are incompatible, so that the situation is at odds?"

Gongsun Zan was stunned when he heard the words, looked up at Li Li in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "What does the general mean by this? You and I are allies, and our territories are separated by thousands of miles. Besides, we have never met before, so how can there be any enmity?" ? As for the incompatibility, it is even more impossible to talk about it. Right now, someone is already a prisoner, and life or death can be decided by the general, how can there be such a thing as fire and water?"

Li Li shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "From General Gongsun's words, it is not difficult to hear that the general is restless, quite worried, or cursing someone Li. However, these are all expected , It would be the same if it were me. But the general can rest assured that I will not kill you, at least I will not kill you until the general surrenders and rebels."

"Oh?" Gongsun Zan's countenance changed when he heard that, he murmured in surprise, and asked uncertainly, "Could it be that the general wants to let a certain family go?"

Li Li smiled heartily: "Hehehe! Today, even if I let you go, where can you go to settle down? Jizhou or barbarian grasslands, or exile on an isolated island?"

"This..." Gongsun Zan, whose expression was slightly relaxed, frowned again. After thinking for a long time, his face became depressed, and he said to himself absentmindedly: "Yes, although the world is big, there is no place for me, Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao regards me as a life and death greatness." The enemy, I can't wait to eat meat; the grassland barbarians also hate me deeply, and I always want to get rid of them quickly. Exile on the island is not easy, it is tantamount to seeking death." As he spoke, Gongsun Zan's face was extremely gloomy, and his expression was incomparable Frustrated, he hangs his head weakly, dejectedly.

Li Li said softly after seeing this: "When General Gongsun sent his envoy to ask me for help that day, he must have expected the situation today. I don't know why the general asked me for help, but he didn't make peace with Yuan Shao in Jizhou? You know, Jizhou nowadays Yuan Shao is trapped in a heavy siege and cannot protect himself, as long as the general takes the initiative to ask for a truce, it is expected that Yuan Shao will be happy to see the result, and immediately call off the battle and withdraw his troops."

Gongsun Zan suddenly raised his head, his expression was furious, and he said without hesitation: "In the past, a certain brother, Gongsun Yue, died tragically, and then a certain fell in love with Yuan Shao. They fought and fought for many years, and the situation has already become fierce and endless. It is absolutely impossible for a certain to reconcile with him!" said At this point, Gongsun Zan paused, then looked directly at Li Li, and said frankly: "When a certain envoy was sent to ask for help that day, the generals and counselors under his command tried to dissuade him, saying: 'Please ask the general to send troops to help. Suicide." However, at that time, the battle situation in Youzhou was critical, and a certain person said to everyone: "I would rather hand over Youzhou to the general, and never let Yuan Shao of Jizhou step into Youzhou!" The words became a prophecy, and now Youzhou has indeed fallen into the hands of the Great General." After speaking, Gongsun Zan looked lonely, and his eyes were quite regretful, but there was no resentment.Obviously, he is not a person who complains about himself. If he loses, he loses, but he is still upright.

Li Li nodded thoughtfully, and said bluntly, "General Gongsun treated me with sincerity, and today I also sincerely invite the general to join our Xiliang army. I wonder what the general thinks?"

"Uh! Join the Xiliang Army?" Gongsun Zan was surprised when he heard the sound, and stared at Li Li suspiciously, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Li Li nodded and said: "Exactly. General, if you are willing to join our army, I can give you two choices. One is to enter the General's Mansion as a guest, with a salary equal to that of Jiuqing, and enjoy the wealth and glory. After that, you will live in Chang'an and will no longer participate in the army. There are disputes in the world. Second, temporarily enter my tent as a counselor military plane. When the time is ripe and our army expands, then lead the army to go out and follow me to conquer chaos and pacify the world. Choose one of the two, and the general will make his own decision. Once the general makes a decision You can't go back on your determination, you only have one chance, if you miss today, the general will have no choice."

"Uh, this..." Gongsun Zan hesitated, his face was full of surprise and doubt, his eyes rolled around, and he carefully examined Li Li.After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Why didn't the general kill me, but instead took me under his command? I remember that the general said before that today's Gongsun Zan is no longer the Gongsun Zan of the past. I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am addicted to wine, sex and pleasure. If this is the case, I am useless, so why does the general take me in?"

After Li Li heard the words, he said without hesitation: "There are three reasons. First, you, Gongsun Zan, once made great military exploits for the people of the Han Dynasty. You have defended the border for more than ten years. You sacrificed your head and sprinkled blood to escape death. Your merits outweigh your demerits; others may have forgotten this point. , but I have not forgotten. Second, in recent years, although your temperament has changed greatly, you have indulged in wine and sex, and are content with pleasure, but you have not forgotten to resist the barbarian invasion; , Later, Yan Rou's rebel army and barbarian Qingqi harassed you, all of which made you unable to do what you wanted, so you gave up on yourself and became decadent. Third, you once formed an alliance with me, and I, Li Li, will never ruthlessly kill allies; besides, you have no conscience If you are obliterated, you still have the heart of humiliation and shame, you know the general situation, you know how to advance and retreat, and you are not an incurable generation.

Most importantly, you are different from other princes.No matter what time it is, it is impossible for you to collude with the barbarians and stick to your own principles. This is what I value most and what I admire most about you.In the old days when the Sili was fighting, Yuan Shao colluded with the Southern Huns to invade the border and wanted to carve up Xiliang with the barbarians. This move made me very disdainful.Now Yuan Shao once again colludes with Wuhuan and Xianbei barbarians to divide Youzhou equally. I hate and feel deeply ashamed of such unscrupulous practices in order to achieve their goals.Compared with it, you, Gongsun Zan, despite your faults, still have the true qualities of a Han Chinese, which is very rare.In view of this, I will give you another chance to start over again. I hope to see General White Horse return to his former glory. "

Hearing Li Li's unadorned frankness, Gongsun Zan's heart was shaken, his expression changed again and again, his eyes became moist involuntarily, he closed his eyes, and remained silent.

After a long while, he turned his head away, brushed his sleeves to wipe off the water stains from the corners of his eyes, got up and went to the hall, bent down and knelt down and said: "The last general is willing to fight with the lord, and he will not hesitate to fight with the lord, and I beg the lord to accept it!" After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan He bowed his head in worship and completely let go of his status as a prince.

Thanks: Qiangua book friends monthly ticket support, thank you!Ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket, thank you Huben!

Two months passed quietly, and Youzhou was still covered with snow and cold wind.

Half a month ago, the first batch of civil servants transferred from Chang'an arrived in Yijing, and they were dispatched by Guo Jia to various counties to take over government affairs.

At the same time, the family members of Gongsun Zan and the main staff members of Youzhou were also sent to Chang'an, accompanied by some generals of the Youzhou Army. They will be placed in the Xiliang Army to continue to serve as generals.However, most of them did not serve in the main battalion, but were dispatched to various counties under the jurisdiction of Xiliang to serve as deputy generals or small colonels. They belonged to the army of the county, and most of them were in the rear, basically far away from the battlefield. , can enjoy Qingfu.

Many of the Youzhou generals who were transferred had no objection to this, and readily accepted it. Perhaps they were tired of fighting and fighting, and had long been looking forward to a comfortable life of living in peace and stability.There are also a small number of generals who are quite dissatisfied with this, but they are humble and dare not speak out, so they have to obey the arrangement. As time goes by, they will slowly calm down and gradually adapt to the new environment.

While sorting out the government affairs of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses regrouped and reorganized.Guo Jia was fully responsible for the reorganization of the Youzhou Army. He divided the reorganization work into three steps.First, some middle and high-level generals were transferred to disrupt the army sequence, and then generals were transferred from Zhao Yun, Li Zhi, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan's tents to supplement them.

Second, integrate cavalry and infantry.All the cavalry were included in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and then soldiers were drawn from the three battalions of Wuwei Battalion, Feiyan Qingqi and Wushuang Iron Cavalry.A reorganized iron cavalry was named "Youzhou Iron Cavalry", that is, Youzhou Camp.The newly formed Youzhou Camp is called Youzhou Iron Cavalry.In fact, more than [-]% of the soldiers in the battalion are Xiliang iron cavalry; the whole battalion is temporarily organized into [-] Qingqi, with Xu Huang, the deputy commander of Feiyan Qingqi, as the commander-in-chief, Yan Gang as the deputy general and deputy commander, and Tian Yu as the joiner.After the reorganization of the cavalry was completed, the infantry, Yan Rou's troops, and the Xiliang Army's [-] county soldiers were mixed into an army, and [-] soldiers were selected from them to form the Wurui Battalion; Rou is the deputy general and deputy commander.Mi Zhu joined the army.

Since then, the Xiliang Army has three battalion infantry with the word "Wu", namely: Wuzu Battalion, Wuwei Battalion and Wurui Battalion.The soldiers of the third battalion are all infantry.Each battalion is fully staffed with 15 soldiers, a total of [-] infantry.

Guo Jia's final step in integrating the Youzhou Army was to rearrange the generals under Gongsun Zan's account.Tian Kai was entrusted with the important task of serving as Biejia in Youzhou; Shan Jing was appointed as the acting county guard.Shi Guanjing, governor of Youzhou, served as Shanggu County Prime Minister Xian Yuyin and was transferred to Zhang Liao's account as Zhonglang General.Xian Yufu was transferred to Zhang Yan's tent as Zhonglang General, and Qi Zhou was transferred to Zhao Yun's tent as Wan Fuchang.

In addition, all other generals under Gongsun Zan's command were transferred from Youzhou, either to Chang'an to be resettled by Li Xuan, or transferred to Bingzhou to serve as guards or captains.

In order to ensure the smooth transition of this reorganization, Gongsun Zan persuaded the disaffected general to leave Youzhou and obey the military order.Except that the placement of generals is quite troublesome.The reorganization of soldiers and horses in Youzhou went very smoothly, and orders were banned.The reorganization was completed in just one month.

For a whole winter, it seemed to outsiders that the territory of Youzhou was peaceful and peaceful. In fact, Youzhou had already completed the handover and quietly changed hands.After the integration of the Youzhou army was completed, Li Li appointed Guo Jia as the governor of Youzhou, Tian Kai as the governor of Youzhou, and Mi Zhu as the governor of Youzhou.Everything is progressing steadily in an orderly manner, Youzhou ushered in a new situation, Li Li took control of Youzhou, and the barbarian tribes on the northeast border ushered in the Xiliang army ready to attack.

On this day, Li Li drank and talked with Gongsun Zan in the big tent of the Chinese army.Up to now, the two of them are different from each other, but Li Li treats Gongsun Zan generously as always, and often invites him to dinners and talks;

Today, Gongsun Zan is still a former general. He ranks higher than Sangong, counselor of the army, and has a detached status. In the Xiliang army, he is second only to the chariot general Li Jue and surpasses all the generals in Xiliang.The only difference is that his children and family members were sent to Chang'an for resettlement, and he was also demoted from an overlord to a minister, with an extra lord on his head.Other than that, basically nothing much has changed, as usual.Of course, the most important thing is that he has no military power in his hands now, and belongs to a former general who is in name only than Sangong.And if he wants to regain military power, he must win Li Li's trust, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The sound of "thumb tom" footsteps entered the large tent of the Chinese army. After hearing the sound, Li Li and Gongsun Zan put down their wine bottles and looked up to the outside of the tent.But Li Zhi walked into the big tent quickly, and bowed to report: "My lord, the governor's mansion sent an urgent report. Half an hour ago, Shi Guanjing, the former governor of Youzhou, and the acting county guard, made a big disturbance in the governor's mansion. Guan Jing He claimed that Guo Jia, the governor, had acted unfairly, retaliated against him, and demoted him to Shanggu Juncheng for no reason; and Shan Jing, who was in trouble with him, did not want to go to Daijun, and openly asked for the post of Yuyang prefect."

"Oh?" Li Li responded in astonishment, gently stroked the inch-long green beard under his jaw, turned his head to look at Gongsun Zan, and then fell into deep thought.

Gongsun Zan's expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "It's unreasonable! They made a big fuss in the governor's office and openly asked for official positions. They are so bold and have no master! Such an arrogant person should be severely punished, and the official punishment is not an exaggeration!"

After Li Zhi heard the words, he replied: "General Gongsun, please calm down, the general will report the situation later. After Guan Jing and Shan Jing made a big fuss in the governor's residence, Guo Jia was as angry as General Gongsun at this time, and immediately ordered the two Unexpectedly, General Shan Jing resisted in court and swung his sword at each other, so he was killed by General Yan Gang in court. Guan Jing was also accidentally killed by his own soldiers in the scuffle, and the two died one after another. Inspector Guo Jia sent someone to report this matter, please go to the Inspector's Mansion to handle the matter."

"Ah! Both of them are dead?" Gongsun Zan turned pale with shock when he heard the words, exclaimed, and felt impolite, so he didn't say any more.

Li Li frowned slightly, with a sullen expression on his face. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Gongsun Zan and asked, "What's Bo Gui's opinion on this matter? Say what comes to mind, don't be afraid, it's okay to speak up."

"This..." Gongsun Zan hesitated, and said after thinking: "There is no need to say more about such ignorant things, they must be severely punished. These two people died without guilt, and the military master was not at fault in this matter, and the general will have no objection to this. "

"Well, since Brother Bogui has said so, let's do this." Li Li nodded slightly, and then told Li Zhi: "Order Guo Jia to handle the funeral properly, and bestow Guan Jing and Shan Jing The marquis in Guannei will be buried with the honor of a marquis, and his family will be appeased. If something like this happens again, he will be killed without mercy! Go." He waved his hand to signal Li Zhi to step back.

After Li Zhi left, Li Lixin said to Gongsun Zan with some feeling: "From this incident, it is not difficult to see that there are many dissatisfied generals under Brother Bogui's account. In the future, Brother Bogui needs to be more concerned." Speaking, Li Li poured Gongsun Zan a glass of wine to show his gratitude.

Gongsun Zan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said apologetically, "It's because the last general didn't control him strictly before, so today's disaster happened. Please forgive me, my lord."
