Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Ever since Zhao Yun got the exact news from Gongsun Xu that there was going to be a big battle soon, all the generals under Gongsun Xu's command were training their soldiers as if they were holding their breath.

Naturally, it is impossible to send out the whole army. Some soldiers and horses must stay in Youzhou, and every general under Gongsun Xu's command does not want to be the one who stays in Youzhou.

Because only when you go out, you will have military exploits, and only with military exploits will you be promoted, and staying in Youzhou, even if you defend Youzhou under the siege of the enemy, will still not have any credit, at most it will be verbally praised by Gongsun Xu a few times sentence.And this kind of praise can't satisfy the inner desires of the generals under Gongsun Xu's command.

In order for Gongsun Xu to take him with him when he went to Youzhou, the generals under Gongsun Xu have been training their soldiers desperately recently, trying to get Gongsun Xu's attention.

Because if you want to go out, you must bring elites, and only elites are eligible to go out.

But at this moment, Gongsun Xu only had a group of civil servants and advisers under his command.However, only these literary and ugly advisers are the most suitable to deal with today's affairs. Letting those generals in may cause trouble for Gongsun Xu.

Since the time of this imperial edict was not long before Gongsun Xu's big wedding, and Gongsun Xu had other arrangements for all the civil servants under his command, so now all the people under Gongsun Xu's command were gathered in front of Gongsun Xu. There is no shortage of civil servants and counselors, and even Changsun Sheng and Changsun Wuji were called by Gongsun Xu.

And so many people gathered here because of the imperial decree that just arrived in the hands of Gongsun Xu not long ago. The content of the imperial decree is very simple. Yanhou, Kaifu Yitong Sansi.And the meaning in the imperial decree is to acquiesce to Gongsun's continued control of Youzhou affairs.

Speaking of this matter, there is actually nothing harmful to Gongsun Xu, but Gongsun Xu always feels that Li Jue and Guo Si are doing nothing to show courtesy, and there must be tricks in it, so he summoned all the civil servants and advisers under his command to discuss this matter. matter.

At this time, Zong Ze stood up and said: "General, this subordinate thinks that this matter is beneficial and harmless to Youzhou. General, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, you just need to accept it with peace of mind."

Gongsun Xu smiled wryly and said, "Of course I know that this matter is harmless to Youzhou, but I can't think of a reason for Li Jue and Guo Si to do this. What good will it do them?"

Hong Chengchou said: "Maybe it's not good for them, but it's definitely not good for Yuan Shao."

Gongsun Xu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said to Hong Chengchou: "Please also ask Mr. Yanyan to teach me."

Hong Chengchou said slowly: "Now the most powerful prince in the world is Yuan Shao who occupies the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou. Although Yuan Shao occupies the land of these two states, the place he can completely control now is only Jizhou, and Qingzhou is his new land after all. But despite this, Yuan Shao is now the most powerful prince in the world. Although Yuan Shao is far away from Chang'an, the only one who can pose a threat to Chang'an is Yuan Shao. But there is a deep blood feud between us and Yuan Shao, and there is no possibility of resolving it, so Li Jue and Guo Si should hope that we can contain Yuan Shao."

After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Gongsun Xu secretly nodded in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

This year, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to completely capture Qingzhou, which means that Qingzhou also fell into Yuan Shao's hands, which allowed Yuan Shao to own the land of Jizhou and Qingzhou in one fell swoop. Become the strongest princely force in the world, not one of them.

On the way Zhao Kuangyin captured Qingzhou, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was also suppressed by Zhao Kuangyin. According to the news brought by Mingjing, Hong Xiuquan, the head of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, led the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to fight Zhao Kuangyin, but was defeated by Zhao Kuangyin.And Hong Xiuquan was also personally beheaded by Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Xiuqing died in the rebellion, and the rest of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban generals such as Chen Yucheng, You Junda and others were subdued by Zhao Kuangyin.

However, during Zhao Kuangyin's capture of Qingzhou, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, died in battle. According to Zhao Kuangyin, he died in the battle in the hands of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Wu Anguo seems to be Liu Bei's subordinate now.

Last year, Tao Qian died of a serious illness. Xuzhou Chen Deng, Mi Zhu and others welcomed Liu Bei into Xuzhou to take charge of Xuzhou affairs. Tao Kan, the son of the former Xuzhou shepherd Tao Qian, went south to Sun Jian's command. What happened during that time? But it is unknown.

And also last year, Lu Bu had a battle with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and was finally defeated by Cao Cao. In the end, Lu Bu arrived in Xuzhou with a group of defeated soldiers and family members under his command and defected to Liu Bei's command.In Liu Bei's heart, he also loved Lu Bu, the number one general in the world, but at the same time, Liu Bei also saw that Lu Bu was only temporarily living under Liu Bei's command, and had no intention of submitting to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei asked Lu Bu to station troops in Xiaopei.

But when Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Zhu Wu questioned aloud: "Although this is the case, Yuan Shao is far away from this Chang'an. With Li Jue and Guo Si as a person, he should not have sent us such a special gift. There must be something wrong with the imperial decree asking us to contain Yuan Shao."

At this time, Gongsun Xu saw that the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to have something to say, but he seemed to have some scruples and dared not say it.

Seeing Changsun Wuji like this, Gongsun Xu immediately became interested. Although Changsun Wuji is still very young, he is a great talent after all, and he can make Li Shimin the top of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion. Any idea, maybe it can hit the nail on the head.

So Gongsun Xu said to Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, do you have any ideas?"

Changsun Wuji originally had a little guess in his heart, but he didn't want to say it, because it would be a bit overwhelming, after all, he has not officially become an official under Gongsun Xu's command.

But at this time, Gongsun Xu still asked him to answer by name, and the rest of the civil servants and advisors also looked at him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "General, in my opinion, there may be someone playing tricks among them?"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's affirmation, Gongsun Xu immediately became interested, and immediately asked Changsun Wuji, "Then who do you think is playing tricks?"

Changsun Wuji also adjusted his state at this time, and continued to Gongsun: "General, according to the personalities of Li Jue and Guo Si, they wouldn't care too much even if Yuan Shao already possessed the invincible strength in the world, so Although this imperial decree is related to these two people, it has little to do with it."

Seeing that everyone slightly agreed with his statement, Changsun Wuji moistened his throat and continued: "Li Jue and Guo Si have no ambitions, so naturally they can't think of a plan for us to contain Yuan Shao, but We restraining Yuan Shao is actually not of much benefit to Li Jue and Guo Si, but it is of great benefit to some other people."

"Another person?" Gongsun Xu couldn't help thinking carefully after hearing Changsun Wuji's words: "You mean the royalists?"

Changsun Wuji said: "It should be related to these loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, but Wuji suspects that there should be another force in Chang'an City that controls Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Moreover, Li Jue, Guo Si and others You probably don't even know they exist."

Chapter 243 Preparing for the Battle

Another force?After listening to Changsun Wuji's analysis, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.To say that there may not be many forces who can influence Li Jue and Guo Si, but there are definitely many people who can influence Li Jue and Guo Si.For example, Jia Xu, the current military adviser of Li Jue and Guo Si, or the dead Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others.

Wait, Li Ru?

A piece of news instantly appeared in Gongsun Xu's mind. According to Ming Jing's news, Li Yuan's second son, Li Shimin, recruited a counselor named Li Zhuo.

Could it be that Li Ru didn't die, but was subdued by this Li Shimin?

The more I think about Gongsun Xu, the more I think it is possible, because this Li Ru is also a top-notch strategist, how could he just die like this, all strategists of this level should leave behind some backup.

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. This Li Yuan definitely has a different heart, and he has absolutely no loyalty to the Han Dynasty. However, this Li Yuan actually started to plot against the world when he didn't have any territory. Yes, but this also shows that Li Yuan has a deep mind and is definitely not an opponent that can be easily solved.

But now that he knows that this matter has nothing to do with Li Yuan, then Gongsun Xu has nothing to worry about, so what if Li Yuan plans to plan the world? It doesn't matter if you help him, anyway, this Yuan Shao is also the opponent he will face sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Xu was no longer entangled, but when Gongsun Xu came back to his senses, he found that the group of counselors under his command was still discussing in full swing.

Although these counselors agree with Changsun Wuji's analysis, they also have some ideas of their own in their hearts, so the analysis of this imperial decree has not stopped.

But at this time, Gongsun Xu didn't want to discuss any more, so he said: "Okay, since this imperial decree is harmless to Youzhou, let's not care about it anymore, that's all. never mind."

When the counselors heard Gongsun Xu's words, they immediately understood, and nodded in agreement.But they also knew that although Gongsun Xu didn't care that much on the surface, with Gongsun Xu's character, he would definitely take another action on this matter in secret.

But these have nothing to do with them, because Gongsun Xu has already said not to care about this matter, so naturally they will not pay attention to this matter in a boring way.

At this time Gongsun Xu said: "However, there is a little advantage in this imperial decree, that is, this general can justifiably establish a government and govern Youzhou."

At this time, all the counselors showed smiles. Although Gongsun Xu occupied the entire Youzhou before, it was not reasonable to use the name of General Xiaoqi, but now with this imperial decree, Gongsun Xu's rule of Youzhou is the emperor's favor. Yes, although the emperor didn't know about it, but the will was conveyed by the imperial decree, so it must be legal, and even the emperor can't take it back.

You have no jokes, but talking is not enough.

Gongsun Xu believes that Li Yuan or Li Shimin's political wisdom will never fail to see this, but perhaps in the eyes of the Li family and his son, the threat between Gongsun Xu and Yuan Shao is not at the same level.

This is indeed the case, even if Gongsun Xu occupies Youzhou now, there is still a big gap compared with Yuan Shao who occupied Jizhou and Qingzhou.And this is why Li Yuan chose to use Gongsun Xu to contain Yuan Shao.

In Li Yuan's eyes, Yuan Shao, who came from the Yuan family in Runan, the world's number one family, is obviously more threatening than Gongsun Xu, and although Youzhou is good, it is still more than a little worse than Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the gap in the number of entrances is several times as much.

And Li Yuan is also preparing to implement a plan to let him go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and Li Yuan doesn't want anything to disturb him.But now the biggest variable in the world is Yuan Shao, so Li Yuan wants to use Gongsun Xu to contain Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao has no energy to pay attention to Chang'an for the time being.

And once Li Yuan's plan is successful, then he will become one of the standard bearers of the world chess game, not a pawn.More importantly, Li Yuan is very confident in his plan, and once Li Yuan's plan is successful, Yuan Shao, who comes from the same family as him, will be his biggest opponent in Li Yuan's eyes. Therefore, if Yuan Shao can be consumed Strength, Li Yuan is naturally happy to see it succeed.

For this reason, even if Gongsun Xu is allowed to completely control Youzhou, he will not hesitate.

Gongsun Xu didn't know these things, but Gongsun Xu knew that this matter had something to do with Li Yuan.

At this moment, Gongsun Xu is rewarding all the civil and military men under his command. After capturing Liaodong last time, although Gongsun Xu has rewarded the civil and military men under his command, there is no change in his position.

And this time, Gongsun Xu decided to determine the civil and military positions of his subordinates with the help of the imperial decree from Chang'an. After all, Gongsun Xu now has this power, and this power is still legal in name. Granted by the Son of Heaven himself.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji is reading Gongsun Xu's arrangements for the civil and military under his command.

Today's Changsun Wuji has been established by Gongsun Xu as the head of the Xiaoqi General's Mansion, that is, Gongsun Xu's subordinates, and he is a direct subordinate.

Changsun Wuji is very satisfied with this arrangement. You must know that such a position is hard to come by, and now Gongsun Xu is able to conscript him as the chief history of General Xiaoqi's mansion, on the one hand because of his ability, on the other hand Probably because of the eldest grandson Wugou.

At this time, Changsun Wuji was proud of his spring breeze, and he was reading aloud.
