The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Liu, Guan, and Zhang came to Jixian to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan. When Gongsun Zan found out their intentions, he looked embarrassed. After all, Zuo Feng was a member of the Shichangshi, but Liu Bei was his nominal junior brother, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were brave enough to be worthy of all men. If you want to achieve great things in the future, you will need the help of three people. He thought for a moment and came up with a plan.

"Does Xuande know his own life experience?" Gongsun Zan asked.

"Bei's father died young. I heard my mother mentioned that Bei's ancestors were officials." Liu Bei answered.

"No, you are the queen of Zhongshan Jing Wang Liu Sheng." Gongsun Zan said.

"Bei has never heard my mother mention this. How does the general know?" Liu Bei was a little confused.

"Xuande, only your status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty can save you. Liu Shengli, King Jing of Zhongshan, is now three hundred years old. He has one hundred and twenty sons. I say you are his descendant, and no one else can find out. Ah. That's it." Gongsun Zan said.

"Everything is at the discretion of the general. I am grateful for the general's great kindness." Liu Bei thanked Gongsun Zan.

"You go down first. From now on, you three brothers will serve in Baima Yicong." Gongsun Zan said to the three of them.

Youzhou is located on the border. It is the old land of the Yan Kingdom in ancient times, and its folk customs are fierce. However, there are Wuhuan in the north and Goguryeo in the east, and they are often invaded by foreign tribes.

Gongsun Zan was a typical Youzhou native who was accustomed to using force to resolve border disputes. He formed a 3000-strong White Horse Yi Cong team based on the surrendered Wuhuan cavalry.

The conditions for being selected as White Horse Yi Cong are very demanding. They must not only be good at riding and shooting, but also have the courage to fight one against ten. Therefore, this army has repeatedly won in battles with the Hu people.

Gongsun Zan also relied on the bravery of the white horse Yi Cong to gain the support of Youzhou soldiers and nobles. Everyone believed that Gongsun Zan should be the governor of Youzhou. However, the imperial court parachuted a relative of the emperor, Liu Yu, and his arrival broke the original pattern.

"General Gongsun, the first order I issued after taking office was to peacefully coexist and trade with Wuhuan in the north. Why did you send troops to plunder Wuhuan?" Liu Yu asked Gongsun Zan.

"Your Excellency does not know military affairs. To deal with the Hu people, we can only fight, beat them to the ground, and make them surrender. This soft policy of yours will not work in Youzhou." Gongsun Zan replied.

"I have discussed with Wuhuan Shanyu. They arranged for Xianyufu, the Xianwang of Zuo, to come to our state capital and send thousands of good horses. I have agreed to negotiate a peace. In the future, Youzhou cavalry cannot harass without my order. Wuhuan, if you want to fight, go and fight Goguryeo in Liaodong." Liu Yu gave the order.

"The last general will obey." Gongsun Zan did not agree with negotiating peace with Wuhuan in his heart. After all, in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, even if it was conquered, no soldiers would be willing to garrison. Wuhuan was different. Not only did they have good horses, but also captured Wuhuan soldiers fought. Brave, joining the Youzhou Army can greatly increase your strength. But he did not express these thoughts, he had other plans in mind.

Gongsun Zan, who returned to the palace, called on Guan Jing, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, and Gongsun Xu to discuss matters.

"The governor ordered not to attack Wuhuan in the future. Tell me, what do you think?" Gongsun Zan asked everyone.

"Father, the army and horses of Youzhou are all in the hands of my father. No matter who he is, I will lead the troops to take his head." Gongsun Xu is the only son of Gongsun Zan. He currently serves Baima Yicong. He has an impatient personality and has become like Zhang Fei. Friends.

"Young master, please don't talk nonsense. Liu Yu is a relative of the emperor and a border official appointed by the emperor. We should only outsmart him." Longshi Guanjing was Gongsun Zan's think tank, and Gongsun Zan consulted with him on many decisions.

"Sir, what are your plans? Let me tell you." Gongsun Zan asked Guan Jing.

"Some of the policies Liu Yu made after taking office seemed to be beneficial to the common people, but in fact they greatly harmed the interests of the nobles. Take the remeasurement and distribution of cultivated land as an example. Many nobles were very dissatisfied." Chief Shi Guanjing paused and looked. Go to Gongsun Zan.

The latter nodded and asked him to continue.

"The spies I sent to Luoyang reported that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day. The affairs of the government are now all taken care of by General He Jin and the ten permanent servants. Once the emperor dies, the situation in the court will be in chaos. Our opportunity will come. When the time comes, Just under the banner of Qingjun, kill Liu Yu, seize Youzhou, and then invade Hebei, then the general will accomplish his great cause." Guan Jing said.

"A good plan is a good one. All those under my command, please listen to me sir and tell your men not to act rashly and wait for the opportunity." Gongsun Zan ordered the people on his left and right.

"General, I have another concern, that is Liu Bei. I think this person is extraordinary. He will not stay under others for a long time. He needs to be more careful." Guan Jing said.

"Sir, you are too worried. They only have three brothers. I have a white horse in my hand, so why be afraid?" Gongsun Zan replied.

"But after I heard that he often said that he was a clan member in the army, I was still worried that he would take advantage of the chaos and get a piece of the pie." Guan Jing expressed his worries.

"Hahaha, sir, you are worrying too much," Gongsun Zan laughed out loud after hearing Guan Jing say that Liu Bei often claimed to be a relative of the emperor. "His identity as Queen Jing of Zhongshan was made up by me for him. You say, What kind of waves can he make?"

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved." Guan Jing felt relieved after knowing that everything was arranged by Gongsun Zan.

"I heard that Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu is a distant relative of my husband. This man is brave enough to be worthy of all men. I would like to help you move around more. If Guan Yu is willing to serve me as your master, I will be credited with great merit." Gongsun Zan said.

"I will try my best to lobby." Guan Jing bowed his head and retreated.
