Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

On Gongsun Xu's side, besides Gongsun Xu, Pei Sui, Zhu Wu, and Liu Bei also sat with him.

Before the banquet started, Gongsun Xu originally wanted Liu Yu to be the host, but Liu Yu, who abides by the etiquette, insisted not to sit. Gongsun Xu vacated the host seat and sat opposite Liu Yu.Otherwise, with Liu Yu's identity, let Gongsunxu, a junior, sit on the throne, even if Liu Yu doesn't say anything now, there is no guarantee that Liu Yu will hold grudges in his heart, and I don't know how to wear small shoes for Gongsunxu in the future.And Gongsun Xu also wanted Liu Yu at this time, so he was naturally unwilling to offend Liu Yu.

The reason why Gongsun Xu asked Liu Bei to sit with him was because Liu Bei was also a clan member of the Han family. With Liu Bei present, Gongsun Xu could also make his own request logically.

After Liu Yu entered the city, Gongsun Xu called a group of generals and advisers under his command to discuss how to deal with Liu Yu. After some discussions, although he still didn't figure out what Liu Yu was going to do, but Liu Yu's arrival was a good solution. A problem that has troubled Gongsun Xu for a long time came up.

Although Gongsun Xu has now controlled the remnants of Gongsun Zan's forces, Gongsun Xu is only a captain at this time, and it is not fair to use a captain to control tens of thousands of Gongsun troops, so Gongsun Xu has always wanted to It is necessary to obtain an official position from the imperial court, so that I can have enough name to take charge of the Gongsun Army and establish my own power.

The arrival of Liu Yu made Gongsun Xu see the dawn of solving this problem.

During the banquet, the wine went through three rounds, and the dishes tasted five flavors. Everyone understood that it was time to talk about business.

Liu Yu put down the wine bottle and continued to Gongsun: "General Gongsun died in the hands of Yuan Shao, which really makes me sad. Although I have some disagreements with General Gongsun, I have always admired General Gongsun. I always think that General Gongsun He is a good general of the Han Dynasty. But he never thought that General Gongsun would die at the hands of Yuan Shao. This is really heartbreaking."

At this time, Gongsun Xu cried to Liu Yu with the tears left behind: "Master Zhou, that Yuan Shao deceived others too much. First, he ordered his men to kill my uncle Gongsun Yue, and then pretended to be killed by Liu Ya. Then my father sent troops to Jizhou in anger, but he led an army to besiege and kill my father in Jizhou, and finally led an army to pursue us on the way back to Youzhou, and beheaded my uncle, grandson Fan. Then Yuan Shao is really deceiving people too much. I also ask Lord Zhou Mu to seek justice for me."

At this time, Liu Bei also said: "Uncle, Yuan Shao is really deceiving people too much. Brother Bogui guarded the northern border for many years and guarded our Han border. Last year, he went south to help Yuan Shao defeat Qingzhou Yellow Turban and break the siege of Bohai Sea. But that Yuan Shao unexpectedly avenged his kindness by killing Gongsun Yue when General Gongsun went to Qingzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban. Fortunately, he was still from the Yuan family in Runan, so it is really embarrassing for him to do such a thing."

Because Liu Yu and Liu Bei are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is Liu Yu's nephew and nephew in terms of seniority, so Liu Yu and Liu Bei are called uncle and nephew.

Liu Yu said angrily: "Then Yuan Shao broke the pillars of my great man. This time, after I go back, I must write to the imperial court to ask Your Majesty to punish him for his crime. I will fight for justice for General Gongsun.

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Gongsun Xu couldn't help secretly slandering in his heart. He deserves to be a person who can be the post of state shepherd in a state. This kind of scheming is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Don't look at Liu Yu's high-sounding words, but there is no substantive content, which is no different from saying nothing.

Writing to the imperial court, who doesn't know that the Chang'an court is now in charge of Dong Zhuo, please Your Majesty, what is the use of the current emperor?Isn't everything Dong Zhuo has the final say on?And in this way, he Liu Yu had to accept his love without doing anything. It seems that Liu Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

All of them are old foxes, Gongsun Xu couldn't help cursing inwardly.That being the case, let's get straight to the point, don't go around with this Liu Yu any longer, and if you go around like this again, you won't be able to talk about any results until next year.

Gongsun Xu said to Liu Yu: "I don't know why Master Zhou came to Gu'an this time, but what's the matter?"

When Liu Yu heard this, the hand holding the wine bottle suddenly stopped in mid-air. Obviously, he did not expect that Gongsun Xu would be so direct.But Liu Yu is also living in Youzhou Mu after all, and he is good at nourishing Qi.

I saw Liu Yu raised the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine, and then continued to Gongsun: "I am dissatisfied with my nephew, this old man is here to persuade you to make peace."

"Persuasion?" Gongsun Xu couldn't help thinking carefully about Liu Yu's words.

"That's right, it's persuasion." Liu Yu slowed down and continued: "I am very sad about General Gongsun, but my nephew can't continue to confront Yuan Shao just because of this personal enmity. I am here to be a peacemaker. Let your two families withdraw their troops and return to quell this war, and let the people of Youzhou live and work in peace and contentment."

"Retreat?" Gongsun Xu sneered, "Then what does Master Yizhou mean, my father's enmity is just forgivable?"

At this moment, Liu Yu said: "Nephew, don't worry, as the saying goes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. With all due respect, if you use the current strength of your nephew to face Yuan Shao, you will undoubtedly kill yourself by hitting a stone with an egg. And if the sage My nephew also died at the hands of Yuan Shao, what about the wife and daughter of General Gongsun? Who will avenge them. So, I hope my nephew should think twice!"

But Gongsun Xu said angrily: "I have a deep blood feud with that Yuan Shao, this matter must not be left for nothing like this."

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, this was a condition for himself, it seems that Gongsun Xu is also a smart person.

Liu Yu continued: "How can I be willing to retreat? It's better to just say it."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Zhu Wu stood up and said: "My young general followed the lord in the South and North Wars, and made a lot of contributions, but because of the lord, he is now just a captain. It is unavoidably inappropriate to lead an army of tens of thousands, I wonder what Master Zhou thinks?"

Liu Yu thought for a while and said: "With the credit of my nephew, I shouldn't just serve as a small captain. This is really a bit humiliating. How about this, as long as my nephew is willing to withdraw, I am willing to write a letter to the court to serve as my nephew." Looking for an official position, with my nephew's ability and merit, and my face, I believe that a general is indispensable, I don't know what my nephew thinks?"

Without waiting for Gongsun Xu's reaction, Liu Yu said to Liu Bei: "I also know the merits of Xuande. In this way, I recommend Xuande as the prefect of a county. I believe there should be no problem. I don't know what Xuande thinks?"

When Liu Bei heard this, his heart was moved. His previous official position was the first-class county magistrate and county lieutenant. Now Liu Yu actually recommended him to be the prefect of a county. How could he not be moved.

However, it would be inappropriate for his identity to agree at this moment, and Liu Bei stood up and said: "How can Xuande and He De be the prefect of a county? Uncle praises Xuande too much."

When he said this, Liu Bei felt that his heart was bleeding, and the position of prefect just left him.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Liu Yu smiled, and said, "Xuande doesn't need to be humble. Xuande's ability is more than enough to serve as the prefect of a county."

After hearing this, Liu Bei declined again and sat back in his seat with a wry smile.

Seeing this situation, Gongsun Xu looked extremely ugly, and said to Liu Yu, "Even if I am willing to retreat, Yuan Shao may not be willing either."

But Liu Yu said with a smile: "Nephew don't have to worry about this, I have my own way with Yuan Shao, and I think Yuan Shao will sell me a little bit."

Gongsun Xu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, as long as Master Zhou has not broken his promise, then I will retreat back to Youbeiping."

Knowing that what Gongsun Xu said was about finding a general for him, Liu Yu said with a smile, "Nephew, don't worry."

After that, the host and guest had a good time, needless to say.

The next day, Liu Yu left Gu'an and returned to Ji County under the protection of Yang Jian and others.

On the Gu'an city wall, Gongsun Xu looked at Liu Yu's disappearing figure with a smile on his lips.

Chapter 157 The Chaos of April

April of the third year of Chuping was a peaceful month for Gongsun Xu. After receiving Liu Yu's promise, Gongsun Xu trained in Gu'an with peace of mind.And Cui Juye, who was stationed in Gu'an and had been confronting Gongsun Xu, had never sent troops to attack Gu'an. I don't know if it was because of Liu Yu.

After Liu Yu left Gu'an City, he entered Cui Juye's camp under the escort of Yang Jian and others. He came out three hours later. After that, Cui Juye also stopped attacking Gu'an City. The two sides continued like this. We got along peacefully.

Gongsun Xu estimated that Cui Juye was waiting for a reply from Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Gongsun Xu estimated that Cui Juye would not dare to take any action before Yuan Shao's attitude. The attack on Gu'an City.Gongsun Xu is very sure of this.

In late April, Gongsun Xu learned of several major events that could shock the world from Ling Jing and Di Renjie, who were in charge of Mingjing.Although these incidents have not been widely spread yet, according to Gongsun Xu's estimation, after a while, these incidents can be said to be known all over the world.

But when it comes to Di Renjie, I have to say that Der Spiegel is a very suitable place for Di Renjie. Less than ten days after Di Renjie entered Der Spiegel, he had already gained Ling Jing's trust and became the second person in Der Spiegel.

The first news that Ling Jing and Di Renjie sent was related to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan at the beginning of the year and wiped out Baima Yicong. Even after Gongsun Zan died in Jizhou, all the counties and counties in Jizhou that were previously occupied by Gongsun's army surrendered to Yuan Shao. Suddenly, the entire Jizhou fell into Yuan Shao's control. middle.

After getting Jizhou, Yuan Shao set his sights on Yuzhou, because Cao Cao, who now occupies the east county of Yanzhou, is still Yuan Shao's subordinate in name, although Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao took in Han Xin, the son of Han Fu, the former Jizhou herd, and the former Shang of Jizhou. General Pan Feng.

But on the one hand, Yuan Shao actually felt a certain amount of guilt towards Han Fu. After all, Han Fu was a disciple of the Yuan family and he also gave up Jizhou to himself, but in the end Han Fu died at Chenliu and Zhang Miao because of himself.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao still looked down on Cao Cao at this time. As a child of the Yuan family in Runan, the most aristocratic family in the world, Yuan Shao looked down on Cao Cao very much and didn't pay much attention to Cao Cao.

In Yuan Shao's eyes, Dongjun belongs to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is his subordinate, so isn't Dongjun his own?Now that Dongjun is his own, isn't his eyes the fat around his mouth?That being the case, Yuan Shao was not in a hurry for Yanzhou, but set his sights on Yuzhou, which was controlled by Yuan Shu.

After driving Gongsun Zan's forces out of Jizhou and completely controlling Jizhou, Yuan Shao sent troops to Yuzhou and fought Yuan Shu in Yuzhou.

Although Yuan Shu has a full [-] soldiers and horses under his command after occupying Yuzhou, the generals and civil servants under Yuan Shu are not at all comparable to the luxurious lineup under Yuan Shao.

Therefore, despite the large number of soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu still fell into a disadvantage in the battle with Yuan Shao.At this time, Yuan Shu thought of Gongsun Xu. Although Gongsun Zan was dead and the strength of Gongsun's army was greatly reduced, Yuan Shu still sent a letter of help to Gongsun Xu, hoping that Gongsun Xu could go south to contain Yuan Shao's troops.

In addition to Gongsun Xu, Yuan Shu also sent a request for help to Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, asking Tao Qian to send troops from Xuzhou to support Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu also hoped to achieve a tripartite alliance of Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Xu. Against Yuan Shao.

The second news is about Yanzhou. At the beginning of April, Qingzhou Yellow Turban Commander Hong Xiuquan led a million Yellow Turbans to invade Yanzhou, and this time Hong Xiuquan sent troops to Yanzhou. It can be said that most of the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was brought. Yang Xiuqing, Chen Yucheng, You Junda, Shi Xiu, Yan Shun and others were all taken by Hong Xiuquan, and they looked like they would not give up if they did not break Yanzhou.

After the Yellow Turban Army arrived in Yanzhou, they first captured Rencheng, and Yan Shun, the leader of the Yellow Turbans, personally beheaded Zheng Sui, the chancellor of Rencheng. As a result, Rencheng fell into the hands of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

After learning that Rencheng was destroyed and Zheng Sui was beheaded, Liu Dai, the current governor of Yanzhou, led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Yanzhou to suppress the Yellow Turbans. In Liu Dai's eyes, Gongsun Zan was able to defeat 30 Yellow Turbans in Bohai with [-] troops. The army then completely suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Therefore, Liu Dai believed that he could lead an army of tens of thousands to defeat the invading Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
