Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130 Xuzhou Dilemma
Gongsun Zan's face twitched slightly when he heard Tian Kai's words, and he said indifferently, "If they dare to fight, let them come."

"There are 300 million hu grains here, I want to see which side is short of grain first."

Tian Kai was dumbfounded: "General, how can you turn defeat into victory by defending this place?"

"What if the general stays here when Yuan Jun bypasses Yijing and occupies Youzhou?"

"I"

Gongsun Zan suddenly growled, "Needless to say!"

"You came to see me just to talk about these things?"

"Do you know that only you, a man, can enter this tall building of mine!"

Tian Kai's face turned bitter: "General, why did you become like this!"

"Are you still the White Horse General who ran across the Northland?"

Gongsun Zan was furious: "Shut up! Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"

"Get off!"

Tian Kai clenched his teeth and kowtowed: "General!"

"If you don't explain it to me, I'll jump off here!"

"You look like this, are you worthy of those who used to follow you!"

Gongsun Zan suddenly stood up, grabbed Tian Kai's front skirt, and dragged it to the window: "Look, look at the land below!"

"It's gone, it's gone!"

"You said I abandoned you, so why am I not abandoned!"

"I have done so many things for Han Ting, but after killing Liu Yu, what did they do to me?"

"I've done all the dirty stuff, but now?"

"They sealed up a few vacancies, and then sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight!"

"Damn Li Jue Guo Si, damn Han Emperor!"

Tian Kai was a little at a loss, "The emperor is being held hostage."

"What's the difference!" Gongsun Zan roared, "There is no turning back!"

"Why can't we turn back!" Tian Kai shouted: "As long as we defeat Yuan Shao, the general will be invincible!"

"As long as the Northern Territory is occupied, the general can lead an army to Chang'an to rescue the emperor!"

"When the time comes, the general will be the great general! You will be able to become the Duke!"

Gongsun Zan pushed Tian Kai away, "You are wrong, I can't do it!"

"Now the whole world has betrayed me!"

"Look, besides you, who else did I trust!"

"Zhang Yan only cared about robbery, Liu Bei set up his own family, Tao Qian was a lunatic, and Yuan Shu was a bastard who stabbed a knife in the back!"

"Look at Yuan Shao again!"

"No matter how I fight, I can't kill him!"

"Even my teacher stood on his side in the end!"

"Baima Yicong only has a thousand riders left, what can this little army do!"

Tian Kai stood up straight and said coldly: "General, you let me down so much."

"Although there are not many Baima Yicong, Zhang Yan still has tens of thousands of people. Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, and he has not broken with the general."

"The general's teacher, Lu Zhi, even though he defected to Yuan Shao in the end, it doesn't mean that he is definitely right."

"In the battle of Qingzhou, if I, Tian Kai, were defeated, I was defeated, but the general didn't send troops, how many people's hearts were chilled?"

"I heard that the generals who were fighting outside were trapped, and the generals ordered no rescue to prevent Yi Jing from being attacked?"

"With all due respect, the general's current situation is all due to his own fault."

"If you want to be blamed by others, I, Tian Kai, didn't say anything. It's not the general's turn."

Gongsun Zan's face turned purple and he was speechless.

Tian Kai stood up and walked downstairs, "Forget it, since I, Tian Kai, have come to this point, I chose it myself."

"It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong, I will accompany the general to the end."

Gongsun Zan listened to Tian Kai's footsteps going down the stairs, and stood in front of the window blankly.

He was born in an aristocratic family, but because of his mother's humble status, he suffered a lot of ridicule since he was a child. When he grew up, perhaps because of some shadows in his childhood, he disdained to associate with the children of the aristocratic family, but preferred to be with some Business contacts.

"Therefore, there are many types of merchants and mediocrity that I love." One of the words on his lips is "All clothes are rich and honored by themselves, and they don't thank others for their favor."

Because of his poor background, Gongsun Zan could only serve as a small and medium-sized official in the county, but he was as loyal as Tian Kai, and was appreciated by the prefect of Zhuojun. He married his daughter to him, and later worshiped Lu Zhi as his teacher, and gained status among the gentry , and then rise up.

So when Gongsun Zan was ordered by the Han court to attack Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

If this top gentry is defeated and trampled underfoot, all the gentry in the world will surely kneel down and submit to themselves like a dog, right?
However, things turned out beyond Gongsun Zan's expectations. Although the two sides had victories and losses in several battles, many gentry in the world began to vote for Yuan Shao instead of him!

Sure enough, they are all the same raccoon dog!
Gradually, Gongsun Zan realized that he could no longer defeat Yuan Shao on the battlefield, as if he had lost his spirit. After retreating to Yi Jing, he suddenly felt that he was tired.

Those who are attached to him want to get more from him, but he can't give it anymore.

He lost his goal, and hated his helplessness of being coerced by his subordinates. He couldn't figure out, where would he go in the end?
He stood in front of the window blankly, picked up the flagon, and began to anesthetize himself again.

If Yuan Xi, who was far away in Yecheng at this time, knew what Gongsun Zan was thinking, he would definitely laugh at Gongsun Zan for asking for trouble.

Yuan Xi felt that even though he crossed over, although he was intriguing, he felt a sense of accomplishment every day and everything he did, because it was earned for nothing.

And cast a good pregnancy, compared with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Lu Meng, Deng Ai and others who came from a humble background, but he took advantage of it. Otherwise, as an ordinary person, he really didn't know how to start.

Isn't it interesting to travel to different time and space thousands of years ago, inadvertently affect the course of history, and fall in love with different women thousands of years ago?

Um, thinking of it this way, it feels a little weird?

He turned his head and saw that Zhen Mi beside him was blushing, and slowly retracted her hand.

People say that the upper body and the lower body of a man are completely separated, and that the physiology and psychology can be completely separated, which is true.

Zhen Mi said in a low voice, "I thought the young master was a gentleman."

Yuan Xi touched his nose in embarrassment, "This is not to reassure the girl, to prove that I am wholehearted to the girl."

Zhen Mi gave Yuan Xi a sideways look: "Come on, I asked Sister Wu Zhao, and you touched Fourth Sister like this, right?"

Yuan Xi was startled, and hurriedly whispered: "That's because I was drugged, I can't do anything!"

Then he said bitterly: "Wu Zhao actually told you this!"

"What did you promise her?"

Zhen Mi proudly said, "I won't tell the young master."

Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, Zhen Mi has a weird personality, even though she is young now, in a few years, he may not be able to fool her.

He said with a smile: "I have achieved my purpose of coming here today, I am afraid many people have seen us together."

"Since this is the case, the Zhen family can proceed to the next step."

"But I want to wrong you."

Zhen Mi smiled lightly and said, "The concubine and the young master have a secret between two people, so why should I be wronged?"

"However, the young master's ideas are unconstrained, which surprised the concubine."

"Young master, just let go and do it, and the concubine will wait."

Yuan Xi stood up: "You can rest assured, remember to protect yourself."

"I have sent a confidant to sneak into the mansion and become a servant. If there is something wrong with the Zhen family, he can help you send a letter to my mansion to inform General Zilong directly."

He said the way of meeting, and Zhen Mi memorized it carefully, and the two finally parted ways.

Yuan Xi got on the carriage going back, and he took all the precautions he should take, and Yuan Shang might stop here, but it's always good to have an extra layer of insurance.

If someone really wants to make trouble again, his afterthoughts will come in handy.

Now there is only the last step left. Whether the attack on Gongsun Zan can be three years earlier than later generations depends on this trip to Xuzhou.

Although he fought several battles with Liu Bei, there was still no irresolvable conflict between the two sides, and Liu Bei played a very important role in Yuan Xi's plans for the next few years.

Whether he can successfully defeat Gongsun Zan and occupy Youzhou depends on how he talks with Liu Bei during his trip to Xuzhou.

In Tancheng, where Xuzhou Xiapi ruled, Liu Bei sat in the city lord's mansion. Behind him were Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and even Kong Rong.

There are only a few officials in the remaining seats.

Those officials, including Sun Qian, Jianyong, Chen Qun and Yuan Huan, were recruited by Liu Bei using his status as the governor of Yuzhou, and they are Liu Bei's current confidant circle.

The officials left behind by Tao Qian, except for Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, were all excluded, because most of those people were from yellow scarf generals, and they had no bottom line in their work.

What everyone is discussing now is Tao Qian's confidant general, who is now causing chaos in Xuzhou and causing Liu Bei a lot of trouble.

Someone said bitterly: "This Rong Rong has made us miserable!"

Chen Deng said: "Changwen, now that Rong Rong has fled to Yangzhou, we can only make up for it."

Chen Qun, whose style name is Changwen, followed Liu Bei after he was appointed as Yuzhou Biejia by Liu Bei.

But Chen Qun is not in a good mood recently, because he has always opposed Liu Bei to lead Xuzhou. As a result, Liu Bei had an incident with Chen Dengmi Zhu without telling him a while ago, and took Xuzhou from Tao Qian without bloodshed, which made Chen Qun very uncomfortable. .

In Chen Qun's view, Liu Bei has no ability to keep Xuzhou now!
Everyone wants to take a bite of this place in Xuzhou, because this place is so important!

Cao Cao has already fought twice, Yuan Shu is also ready to move, and in a short period of time, Liu Bei cannot digest the Danyang faction left by Tao Qian.

Especially when Liu Bei went to Qingzhou to rescue Tian Kai, he was defeated by Yuan Jun, and more than half of the soldiers were killed or injured. In this way, his control over Xuzhou was even weaker!

The room leak happened to rain overnight, and Jiao Rong, who was left behind by Tao Qian, began to act as a demon, causing a lot of troubles in Xuzhou.

Rong Rong, once served as the state minister of Xiapi, was responsible for the collection of money and grain in the three counties of Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng, which was equivalent to controlling half of Xuzhou's fiscal revenue.

Originally, the income was to be sent to Tancheng, the governor of Xuzhou, for the use of the people of Xuzhou, but Jiao Rong swallowed it privately, and used the money to build temples and hold Buddha bathing meetings, just to hold banquets by the roadside The cost should be calculated in units of billions.

Taoism flourished in Xuzhou before because of the Yellow Turban, but Buddhism has prospered since the beginning of Ruorong.

As a result, the custom of worshiping Buddha in Xuzhou became more and more popular, and Ruo was integrated among the gentry and common people, and won an excellent reputation.

The wool came from the sheep, and the money came in quickly and was spent quickly, so he made crooked ideas.

When Cao Cao first attacked Xuzhou, Ruo Rong led more than 1 soldiers and men and women under his command to escape, and went south to Guangling County. Zhao Yu, the governor of Guangling County, heard of Ruo Rong's reputation and regarded him as a distinguished guest.

But Zerong saw the Wufu Minfeng in Guangling County, so at a banquet, he beheaded Zhao Yu in the name of toasting, led the soldiers to kill, burn and loot, and then went south to Moling to join Xue Li.

Xue Li was originally Tao Qian's Prime Minister of Pengcheng Kingdom, and he knew that Ruo Rong had a good reputation, so he treated Ruo Rong as a distinguished guest.

But now the news came that Ruo Rong used the same method to kill Xue Li too!
