The guard then retreated.When Liu Bei saw this scene, he asked, "What's the matter with my nephew?"

Gongsun continued: "No, it's just that my father wants me to go to the tent with my uncle to discuss matters, as if there is something important to announce to us."

"Big event?" Liu Bei frowned secretly, "Yuan Shao probably won't send troops at this time, so what's the big deal?"

Gongsun continued: "I don't know either, it's just that my father told me to wait and must go, and uncle Liu and the three of us should go together."

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Then let's go now, don't keep Senior Brother waiting for a long time."

Gongsun Xu said: "What uncle said is very true." After that, Gongsun Xu, Liu Guan and Zhang went to Gongsun Zan's big tent together.

When Gongsun Xu and his party came to Gongsun Zan's big tent, they found that there were already several people in the big tent, but it seemed that they had just arrived.

Gongsun Xu and Liu Bei looked at each other, found their place in the big tent and didn't talk much, even if they were just discussing in a low voice with the people around them.

At this time, Gongsun Xu was surrounded by Pei Sui, one of the six captains under Gongsun Zan's command.Gongsun continued to ask Pei Sui: "Mr. Yuanming, do you know what is the reason why father summoned us this time, the messenger just said that father has something important to announce to us, but he didn't say what it is.

Pei Sui also respects Gongsun Xu, a young general in the Gongsun Army, and when faced with Gongsun Xu's question, Pei Sui said slightly, "I don't know about this, and Pei was still handling military affairs in his account, but he suddenly accepted the question." I didn’t come here until the notice.”

"So that's how it is." Gongsun Xu's brows flashed a puzzled look. He didn't expect that even Pei Sui didn't know that Gongsun Zan had summoned many of his men and soldiers to announce this time. This surprised Gongsun Xu.

But Gongsun Xu heard Pei Sui continue to say: "But Pei has heard some rumors."

"Wind sound? What wind sound?" Hearing Pei Sui's words, Gongsun Xu was puzzled and asked immediately.

At this time, Pei Sui looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to their side, and immediately whispered to Gongsun Xu: "It is said that the Lord wants to appoint a state shepherd to stand up to Yuan Shao in righteousness."

"Appoint the state shepherd? Who came up with such a bad idea?" After hearing Pei Sui's words, Gongsun Xu couldn't help scolding."

Pei Sui shook his head at this time and said: "I don't know about this Pei, and according to Yanyan, this idea came from General Gongsun suddenly, and I didn't discuss it with him beforehand. But I got the news from Yanyan. I was also taken aback."

Later, Gongsun Xu didn't listen to a word Pei Sui said, he was already frightened by the news Pei Sui said.You must know that the appointment of a state shepherd is not something that one person can do. Even Yuan Shao wanted to take the post of Jizhou shepherd. He used tricks to force Han Fu to give up Jizhou, and then asked for orders from the Han court in Chang'an. After the court agreed, Yuan Shaocai He is the justifiable Jizhou Mu.

Although the Han Dynasty is now fragmented and the princes of the world are rising together, none of the princes has dared to publicly appoint the state shepherd.Even if it is self-proclaimed, it may not be accepted by the world.

Now Gongsun Xu actually heard that Gongsun Zan wanted to risk the world's disgrace by letting other people serve as state shepherds. Based on what Gongsun Xu knew about Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan would never let those people serve as state shepherds until the imperial court appointed them. Gongsun Zan was willing to wait until the appointment was made before letting him serve as the governor of the state.Even the Chang'an court, now controlled by Dong Zhuo, would not agree with Gongsun Zan's actions.

And such behavior will put Gongsun Zan on the opposite side of righteousness, and will seriously affect Gongsun Zan's current excellent situation.

At this time, the big tent was already full of people, basically all of Gongsun Zan's civil and military personnel in the big camp had already arrived.Of course, all the people in this large tent at this time are the backbone of Gongsun Zan's army, at least at the level of military commander.

At this time, Gongsun Zan saw that most of the people had arrived, so he asked Hong Chengchou who was at the side, "Yanyan, are you all here?"

Hong Chengchou looked around at the people in the tent, and said to Gongsun Zan, "Master, all the people have come."

Gongsun Zan nodded, then stood up.And as Gongsun Zan got up, although the people in the tent were still talking about each other noisily, there was no sound at this time.

Gongsun Zan looked at the people in the tent and said, "The reason why I brought you here today is because I have a big announcement to make to you all."

Seeing Gongsun Zan speak so solemnly, everyone was concentrating on listening to what Gongsun Zan would say next.

Gongsun Zan said in a deep voice: "Then Yuan Shao killed my younger brother Gongsun Yue without any reason, so I raised troops to attack Jizhou in order to seek justice from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's post of Jizhou shepherd was obtained by force from Han Fu In order to compete with Yuan Shao, I decided to use Yan Gang as Jizhou Shepherd, Tian Kai as Qingzhou Shepherd, Shan Jing as Yanzhou Shepherd, Gongsun Fan as Bohai Prefect, and Liu Bei as Pingyuan Prime Minister.”

When Gongsun Zan did not tell the matter, Gongsun Xu still had a sense of luck in his heart, thinking that Gongsun Zan would not make such a move as appointing the state shepherd. The state pastor of Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

Chapter 1 Nineteen: Gongsun Xu's Uneasiness

When Gongsun Zan announced the prefects and magistrates of the prefectures and magistrates of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou that he planned to appoint, everyone in the tent was shocked by the news and was speechless for a while.

But when everyone came back to their senses, most of the people present showed ecstasy.Among them, Yan Gang, Shan Jing, and Tian Kai were the most important, because these three were all conferred the title of State Shepherd of a state, which can be said to be a high position and weight.Just when the three of them were about to stand up to thank En, a figure stepped forward before them.

Just when the three were wondering who was more active than the three of them, the person who stood up first said, "Father, this is not allowed."

Hearing this person's words, Yan Gang, Tian Kai, and Shan Jing looked at each other, and couldn't help feeling a little angry in their hearts. Such a good thing is in front of them, and someone wants to stop it. Is this person out of his mind?

When Gongsun Zan saw someone standing up to stop his actions, he couldn't help being furious.Originally, according to Gongsun Zan's idea, after such a reward and appointment, his subordinates and martial arts would definitely be more sincere and united, and they would explode with stronger fighting power, and beat Yuan Shao to the ground. He didn't expect that someone would sing against him as soon as he came.

And when he saw the person who stood up, Gongsun Zan became even more angry, and his tone of voice was full of anger: "Xu'er, why don't you just talk about it?"

That's right, the person who stood up was Gongsun Xu.

When Gongsun Xu learned that Gongsun Zan was going to appoint the governors of various states, he suddenly felt bad. If this Gongsun Zan did such a thing, then in the current situation, this Gongsun Zan is really a bit of a treason.

Therefore, Gongsun Xu must stop Gongsun Zan from doing such a thing, otherwise, Gongsun Zan will lose the support of public opinion.Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack Yuan Shao and would be labeled as a rebel.

Facing Gongsun Zan's questioning, Gongsun Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Father, the appointment of the state shepherd must be appointed by the imperial court. Father does not have this right now."

When Gongsun Zan heard Gongsun Xu's words, he couldn't help being furious and said, "Then you mean I don't have the qualifications?"

Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Gongsun Xu already felt Gongsun Zan's anger. Gongsun Xu knew that Gongsun Zan was very angry now.But Gongsun Xu still wanted to persuade: "Father, at this time, my father does not have the power to appoint a governor of a state. If my father appoints the three captains of Yan Duwei, Shan Duwei, and Tian Duwei as the governor of a state, it will definitely be the governor of a state." Abandoned by the world."

After hearing Gongsun Xu's words, Gongsun Zan said angrily, "Then Yuan Shao could appoint Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou, why can't I appoint the governor of the state? Do you mean that I am not as good as that Yuan Shao?"

Hearing Gongsun Zan's almost roaring words, Gongsun Xu couldn't help being overwhelmed by Gongsun Zan's power, and stepped back, saying, "Father, my son has absolutely no such intentions."

Seeing Gongsun Xu's attitude, Gongsun Zan nodded with some satisfaction. Although Gongsun Xu did not agree with his actions, this did not stop his determination to do this.

And just when Gongsun Zan was about to say something more, Pei Sui stood aside and said, "My lord, I don't agree with my lord's move, and I hope my lord will take back this order."

Seeing Pei Sui stand up against him, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but become more angry. Pei Sui himself had high hopes for him, so he promoted him to the captaincy without much qualifications. He didn't expect that he would stand on this matter. Come out against yourself.

And just after Pei Sui stood up, Hong Chengchou also said: "My lord, please take back the fame, this matter needs to be discussed."

Seeing that Hong Chengchou and Pei Sui stood up to oppose Gongsun Zan's order, Wang Pu, Ling Jing, Luo Cheng, Di Qing and others under Gongsun Xu's command also stood up to oppose it.

"My lord, please take it back!"

Seeing that so many people under his command began to oppose his order, Gongsun Zan's anger had escalated to the extreme, but at this time, Gongsun Zan still had some sense in his heart. He knew that if some generals objected, it might be his own. The appointment was somewhat unfair, and when Hong Chengchou and Pei Sui, the two civil servants he personally recruited at the beginning, also objected, Gongsun Zan knew that there was definitely something wrong with his matter, otherwise the two would never He will oppose his decision in full view.

But if he just withdraws his order like this, what is his prestige, and how will he command these [-] soldiers in the future.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan was in a dilemma at this time. He wanted to temporarily withdraw the order to discuss with Hong Chengchou and others, but he couldn't save face.

At this time, Gongsun Xu had already noticed some subtle changes in Gongsun Zan's expression, and he should give a signal to the people around him.Many people were shocked to see so many people begging Gongsun Zan to take back his life. After all, in their eyes, many people were very happy with Gongsun Zan's appointment just now.And when Gongsun Xu repeatedly gestured to them with his eyes, many people who had been on good terms with Gongsun Xu on weekdays also began to join the ranks asking Gongsun Zan to take back the order.

When Yan Gang joined the ranks of asking Gongsun Zan to take back the order, the outcome of today's matter was basically certain.Even Yan Gang has given up the position of Jizhou Mu, who is about to be acquired, so why are other people dissatisfied?

At this time, Gongsun Xu gave Yan Gang a grateful look, and he understood that Yan Gang's behavior in this matter definitely helped him a lot.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to withdraw the appointment he had just issued, and his whole person also changed from the high-spirited to the depressed.

And everyone in the tent also left after Gongsun Zan left, and after making eye contact with Gongsun Xu, Pei Sui and Hong Chengchou walked in the direction where Wang Gongsun Zan left.

And when Gongsun Xu went back to his camp, many people looked at Gongsun Xu with strange eyes along the way. After all, just now a shocking fortune was in front of him, but he was destroyed by Gongsun Xu. It is impossible for people to have no grievances against Gongsun Xu, but it is just because of Gongsun Xu's identity that he dare not express it.

Facing the strange eyes he received along the way, Gongsun Xu was open-minded. Everything he did was for Gongsun Zan's future career, or for his own future career.So Gongsun Xu has no regrets about what he did.As for other people's thoughts, it is beyond Gongsun Xu's ability to decide.After all, mouths grow on other people.

And when Gongsun Xu returned to the camp, his face darkened instantly.Then Gongsun Xu's eyes turned to Ling Jing who came in with him.And because of his bad mood, Gongsun Xu's voice became more and more gloomy.
