Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Chapter 100 Gongsun Zan leads Youzhou Shepherd

Youzhou Youbeiping Wuzhong County, in Gongsun Zan's camp.

Liu Bei brought Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to Gongsun Zan's camp with a displeased expression on his face.

"Brother Bogui, Liu Yu is a clan member of the Han family. He loves the people like a son, has always been benevolent and righteous, manages Youzhou in an orderly manner, and is loyal to the Han family. Can't my elder brother just laugh with Brother Bo'an?"

When Gongsun Zan came back from Luoyang some time ago, when he passed Yuyang County, his soldiers robbed the people, but Gongsun Zan did not stop them. When Liu Yu learned about it, he sent troops to intercept and kill these soldiers.

Provoking Gongsun Zan's fury, he recruited [-] troops from Youbeiping to attack Yuyang.

Being both clan members of the Han Dynasty and admiring Liu Yu's character, Liu Bei became a peacemaker in the middle.

Gongsun Zan explained: "Xuande, I did not attack Liu Yu for personal reasons!"

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan expressionlessly, wasn't it for personal matters?Do you think we are all three-year-olds?

"Liu Yu colluded with Yuan Shao to proclaim himself emperor in Youzhou, do you know Xuande?"

"Proclaim the emperor? How is it possible?"

Liu Bei was amazed, how could Liu Yu become emperor?

Gongsun Zan said sincerely: "Do I need to lie to you about this? Yuan Shao's envoys are still in our army and want me to join them in supporting Liu Yu as emperor."

"Is this true?"

"Could it be fake? Yuan Shao not only contacted me, but also contacted Yuan Shu, Cao Shuo, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian and others. Just ask and find out."

"Brother Bo'an, why is he so confused? Emperor Xian is in Dong Zhuo's hands, and he doesn't want to try to rescue him, but wants to stand on his own."

Liu Bei somewhat believed what Gongsun Zan said, and he only needed to inquire about it a little.

"Know people, face, but not heart, after all, you are the emperor, who can stand the temptation!"

If it wasn't for Gongsun Zan's kindness to him, showing his merits for himself many times, and Liu Yu questioning his own background, he would have gone to join Liu Yu long ago.

A well-known family member of the Han family like Liu Yu simply looked down on Liu Bei, who was in a poor family.

"Xuande, although Liu Yu has done a lot of favors in Youzhou, the fact that foreigners have been harassing Youzhou all the year round has a lot to do with Liu Yu's policies."

Liu Bei nodded. He agreed with this sentence very much. It was because Liu Yu was too soft-hearted to foreigners that he let Liaoxi County, Liaodong Dependent State, Liaodong County, and Xuantu County in Youzhou fall into the hands of foreigners.

Gongsun Zan persuaded: "The big man has internal and external troubles, and a policy like Liu Yu's is not suitable at all. Therefore, Xuande should stay and help me!"

"Brother Bogui, I won't help you deal with Liu Yu, but if I'm allowed to defend Feiru, I'd be very willing."

No matter what, Liu Bei didn't want to fight the Han clan himself. Feiru was far away from the battlefield of the two, and Gongsun Zan sent a large army to confront Gongsun Du there. If he went to Feiru himself, Gongsundu would definitely not refuse.

"Okay, with Xuande to help me guard the rear and defend Gongsun Du, I will have no worries!"

Liu Bei left Gongsun Zan's big tent, returned to his residence, called Tian Yu, and asked, "Guorang, who do you think will win the war between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu?"

Tian Yu asked back: "Brother Xuande cares which of them wins?"

"Bo Gui and I are from the same family, and have helped me many times. Liu Bo'an is a clan relative of the Han family. I don't want to lose to both parties."

Tian Yu said seriously: "Brother Xuande is very wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Liu Bei looked at Tian Yu with a depressed face, could they just let them attack each other?

"Brother Xuande asked to see Liu Yu several times, have you ever met him?"

"This……"

"Brother Xuande doesn't know why?"

"The family is poor and has no official position!"

"Then he thought he helped you because he was also a member of the Han clan?"

"This……"

Liu Bei was speechless when Tian Yu asked a few questions.

"Xuande can't be too arbitrary if he wants to achieve great things. Look at Cao Shuo, for his own benefit, he doesn't sell his father's face."

"Let me ask Xuande again, if Xuande owns a state, will he be like Liu Yu?"

"will not!"

Liu Bei is well aware of Liu Yu's weakness. He is too benevolent at home and not tough enough externally, so he is definitely a good official in a peaceful and prosperous age, but in troubled times and on the frontier, his policies are a bit out of date.

"Xuande should think of ways to get benefits for himself now, otherwise brother Xuande will still achieve nothing and not have a single inch of land."

"Thank you Guorang for your enlightenment, listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!"

Tian Yu continued: "Gongsun Zan is now at the time of employing people. If Xuande can achieve immortal feats under Gongsun Zan, it will be of great benefit to you in the future."

"Know what to do."

"Xuande should rush to Feiru as soon as possible, and use Gongsun Zan's influence there to recruit soldiers and make contributions."

"The talent of Guorang is ten thousand times better than that of preparation. I am willing to worship as a military adviser. I invite Guorang to go with me."

Tian Yu sighed and said:

"Thank you Brother Xuande for your trust. However, my mother's condition is getting worse and I can't stand it. After my mother recovers, I will definitely go to Feiru."

Liu Bei thought that he was going to miss a great sage, and he felt very uncomfortable, crying: "I only wish I could not build a great cause with you, it is the regret of my life."

"Brother Xuande, leave as soon as possible!"

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Feiru. With Tian Yu's guidance, he felt as if he saw a bright future.

The first day of May in 190 AD.

Gongsun Zan's troops attacked Liu Yu in three ways.

Along the way, his younger brothers Gongsun Yue, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, and Wang Men led an army of [-] to attack Yongnu, Anci, and Quanzhou.

Along the way, his younger brothers Gongsun Fan, Shan Jing, Zou Dan, and Tian Kai led an army of [-] to attack Hunu, Anle, and Changping.

On the other hand, with his son Gongsun Xu, Zou Jing led [-] white horse followers and [-] ordinary soldiers to attack Jixian County, Guangyang County, the seat of Youzhou!

In order to stop Gongsun Zan's attack, Liu Yu sent Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu to resist Gongsun Yue, and sent Tian Chou, Wei Dun, and Qi Zhou to resist Gongsun Fan.

Liu Yu personally led an army of [-] and fought a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan outside Jixian County. Gongsun Ji, who was in charge of Youzhou, had the same surname as Gongsun Zan, and was treated coldly by Liu Yu with suspicion.

In a fit of anger, Gongsun Ji united Cheng Xu and Wei You to offer the city, and Zhao Gai, Sun Jin, Zhang Yi, and Zhang Zan protected Liu Yu's family and broke out of the siege, and retreated to Zhuo County.

Gongsun Ji and Gongsun Zan fought back and forth and defeated Liu Yu's army. Liu Yu was shot by a stray arrow and died unfortunately.

On the seventh day of the fifth month in 190 A.D., Gongsun Zan took over the shepherd of Youzhou.

"Report, urgent mail from Youzhou!"

Cao Shuo was discussing with Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others how to trade medicinal materials with Dong Zhuo, and a Youzhou battle report disrupted everyone's rhythm.

"Read!"

"Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu in Jixian County, and Liu Yu died unfortunately. Gongsun Zan led Youzhou as herdsman. Liu Yu's son Liu He retreated to Zhuojun and asked the lord for help."

Cao Shuo looked at the crowd and said, "Do you think we should save them?"

Chapter 101 Tear up the covenant and snatch the second county of Youzhou

Xun Yu reminded: "My lord signed a covenant with Gongsun Zan to let him take the position of Shepherd of Youzhou. We have fulfilled the covenant."

Xi Zhicai suggested: "It will take some time for Gongsun Zan to completely control Youzhou. Why don't you send troops to Guangchang to seize the next generation county and Shanggu county on the grounds of helping Gongsun Zan wipe out Liu Yu's remnant party."

Ju Shou suggested: "Liu He is weak, we can secretly support Liu He and contain Gongsun Zan's army in Zhuo County."

Tian Feng suggested: "The Hejian Kingdom is adjacent to Gongsun Zan's territory. Once we break with Gongsun Zan, we need to prevent Gongsun Zan from advancing by land and water and attacking Hejian."

The judge suggested: "Dong Zhuo's emissary has been in Xindu for many days, it is better to reach an agreement with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, express Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou, and break Gongsun Zan's wings."

Xun Chen said: "Once we attack the north, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others in the south are likely to cross the Yellow River and attack us. The south needs generals to guard it."

Xun You said: "General Zilong is brave and strategic, and General Huaxiong is very brave. You can make Zilong the commander, Huaxiong the general, and Xun Fai the marching army division. They will be stationed in Pingyuan and Le (lào) Ling counties to guard against Yuan Shao."

Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong rolled their eyes, you can discuss it if you discuss it, there are so many generals in this hall, why are the two of us going to defend.

Seeing the reluctance of the two, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "General Zhao and General Hua, don't slack off. There are not no battles in the south. The Yellow Turbans are raging in Qingzhou. Yuan Shao is overwhelmed. You can help him!"

These two must be reluctant to go to the Yellow River to garrison because there is no battle to fight recently.

"The last general takes orders!"

"Bohai County has newly recruited [-] soldiers. You can take them across the Yellow River to practice, but try not to conflict with Yuan Shao."

"promise!"

After the three of them took orders to leave, Xi Zhicai said: "According to Jin Yiwei's guidance, Taishan Huangjinqu Commander Zang Ba led his subordinates to plunder Anping Kingdom, Shanyang County, and Dong County all the way west. Yanzhou assassinated Liu Dai and called The troops surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army, and the results were not satisfactory."

Cao Shuo thought for a while, in the Three Kingdoms, Liu Dai was defeated and killed because of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army. Cao Cao took the opportunity to lead Yanzhou Mu by himself.

Xi Zhicai continued: "We can Chen Bing Liyang and Yangping counties, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and when the time is right, cross the Yellow River and occupy Puyang and Linyi, the important towns along the Yellow River!"

Xun You suggested: "The two generals Zhang He and Zhang Yan are good at commanding troops, and they are perfect for guarding the second county."

Zhang He and Zhang Yan's faces darkened. Just now they made fun of Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong for not being able to participate in the northern war, but now it was their turn in a blink of an eye.

Cao Shuo ordered: "Junyi, Zhang Yan, you two will each lead [-] troops to garrison Liyang and Yangping."

Zhang Yan smiled mischievously and said, "There will be a request at the end!"

Cao Shuo asked, "What request?"

"Zilong and Huaxiong went to Bohai County with a military advisor, and we also need a military advisor to advise us."

Cao Shuo glanced at the two of them angrily, then glanced around, and looked at Xin Pi.

Simpi hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is willing to go with the two generals!"

"That's hard work, George!"

"It is my honor to share my lord's worries and plan for the two generals."

After the three led the troops to leave, Cao Shuo looked at the rest of the people and said, "Let Xu Huang, Sui Gu, Xia Houlan and Shenpei take charge of Hejian's defense."

"The last general takes orders!"

In the hall are Xu Rong, Ju Yi, Dian Wei, Han Hao, Pan Feng, Cheng Huan, Wang Chen, and Wang Ling.

Cao Shuo has arranged all the defenses properly, and the rest needs to determine the personnel who will stay behind and participate in the Northern Expedition.

Everyone was eager to try, hoping that the lord would not leave him behind.

"Ju Shou, Xun You, and Xun Chen stay in charge of state affairs!"

"promise!"

"Xun Yu, Tian Feng, and Xi Zhong will go out with me!"

"promise!"

"Zhen Yan, you send someone to send food, equipment, and medicinal materials to Guangchang first!"

"promise!"

The hearts of the generals waiting were like ants crawling around, itching unbearably.

The lord is really tantalizing. He arranged all the other people, but he didn't mention who will lead the army.

Cao Shuo looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Who wants to stay behind?"

Dian Wei was the first to speak, "I am the lord's guard!"

Han Hao, Wang Chen, and Wang Ling said in unison: "I am the lieutenant of the Chinese Army!"

Xu Rong, Ju Yi, Pan Feng, and Cheng Huan had gloomy faces. These four guys are too despicable.

Cao Shuo said meaningfully: "In this case, Xu Rong and Ju Yi will draw lots, and Pan Feng and Cheng Huan will draw lots!"

Xun Yu stretched out his hands in front of Xu Rong and Ju Yi, and they were stunned.

I'm so stupid, it's already prepared in advance!

How do you feel that the routine is full!

In the end, Xu Rong and Cheng Huan went out with the army, while Ju Yi and Pan Feng stayed behind.

Ju Yi looked at Xu Rong with remorse: "I have trained soldiers in the north, but you picked them up!"
