Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 195 Turning defeat into victory, Yuan Shao deceived Gongsun

Gongsun Yue died at the hands of Li Jue, and only Gongsun Fan escaped from the Youzhou cavalry sent out.

Gongsun Zan, who heard the news, not only hated Li Jue, but also angered Jushou, thinking that it was Jushou's improper planning that caused Gongsun Yue to die.

Ju Shou was wronged for no reason, and he was quite dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Yue will die, the root cause is that Gongsun Zan ordered Gongsun Yue to kill Xian Yuqian.

Advising Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan to pretend to resist Li Jue and Guo Si is already saving Gongsun Yue.

How can Jushou count the ambush of Li Jue and Guo Si in Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fanhui?

Yang Fengyin violated and dealt with Yuan Shu, but Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan had to go for a stroll under the noses of Li Jue and Guo Si without taking precautions. How could Jushou be blamed for the defeat and death?

Jushou's argument made Gongsun Zan feel ashamed again, thinking that Jushou was ungrateful, forgetting who rescued Jushou's family from Yecheng.

Jushou, who didn't want to waste words with Gongsun Zan, chose to stay behind closed doors in a fit of anger.

Therefore, when Gongsun Zan learned that Yuan Shao had entered Changshan, he did not choose to discuss with Jushou.

The furious Gongsun Zan first sternly reprimanded Yuan Shao for attacking for no reason in order to win the hearts of the people, and then he dispatched three thousand white horses to lead the army to attack, and at the same time ordered five thousand cavalry to follow him, which is bound to completely defeat Yuan Shao .

however.

At this time, Yuan Shao, trapped by enemies on all sides, even ruthlessly used himself as bait to lure Gongsun Zan's cavalry into the valley.

The careless Gongsun Zan had no time to guard against him, Zhang Yun cut off the cavalry from the middle, and then Yan Liang on the left and Wen Chou on the right charged out in ambushes, while Yuan Shao personally led Chunyu Qiong, Gao Lan and other generals to face Gongsun Zan head-on.

Gongsun Zan's general, Yan Gang, was beheaded by Yan Liang on the spot!

Panicked, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to run away.

Three thousand white horse righteousness, also lost half.

Although Gongsun Zan still had [-] infantry soldiers, fear of Yuan Shao suddenly grew in Gongsun Zan's heart after he suffered a great defeat.

The proud Baima Yicong lost, and the general Yan Gang was also beheaded. What can the remaining thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry do?
then.

Originally it was just a defeat on the battlefield, but it gave Gongsun Zan the heart to retreat.

But Yuan Shao has just won for a while, and his heart of fighting to the death has become more courageous, and all the buffs are stacked up, how can he let Gongsun Zan retreat completely?

Yan Liang was even more daring, and directly led the cavalry from Yecheng to the territory of Gaoyi behind Gongsun Zan, and then carried the banner of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and flanked Gongsun Zan with Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan, who lacked the will to fight to the death, was even more afraid to fight when he saw the banner of Ma Teng and Han Sui appearing behind him, and was chased all the way to Changshan by Yan Liang.

If Jushou, Sun Jin and others hadn't led troops to rescue him, Gongsun Zan would have almost died of hatred.

And after Gongsun Zan retreated to Changshan Kingdom.

Yuan Shao sent envoys to send a letter to Gongsun Zan, stating his interests and interests, hoping to form an alliance with Gongsun Zan to fight against Liu Yu in Youzhou and Ma Teng and Han Sui in Bingzhou.

To show his sincerity, Yuan Shao was willing to give up the Hejian Kingdom to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan hesitated immediately, and even called Gongsun Fan to discuss.

"Our army is newly defeated. If we continue to fight Yuan Shao, it will be hard to tell the outcome. Instead, Liu Yu and Ma Teng and Han Sui will reap the benefits."

"Now that Yuan Shao is willing to give up the Hejian Kingdom, it has given me enough face."

"I intend to discuss peace with Yuan Shao, what does Brother Fan think?"

Gongsun Fan was puzzled: "If you want to negotiate a peace, it is common sense for the elder brother to ask for peace. Now that Yuan Shao has won a few rounds, but sent envoys to ask for peace, I think there must be some treacherous tricks in it."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Zhao about the policy?"

But Gongsun Zan was ashamed to see Jushou because of his defeat, and snorted coldly: "Although Jushou is talented, he is only suitable for internal affairs, not military and foreign affairs, so don't ask."

"But Brother Fan's worries are not unreasonable. If Yuan Shao just pretended to promise and deceive deliberately, then I would be a joke."

"Go and lead the troops to Hejian Kingdom yourself!"

"If Yuan Shao sincerely gave up Hejian Kingdom, that's fine. If he pretended to deceive him, he would directly kill Prime Minister Hejian, and then march into Bohai County."

"I can't fight Yecheng, so why can't I fight other places?"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan refused to ask Ce Jushou, Gongsun Fan had to lead the troops to Hejian Kingdom himself.

As soon as Prime Minister Hejian saw Gongsun Fan coming, he immediately opened the city gate, expressing his willingness to attach himself to Gongsun Zan.

With the Hejian Kingdom in his hands, Gongsun Zan no longer had any doubts about Yuan Shao's request for peace. He only thought that Yuan Shao had no choice but to ask for peace because he was surrounded by enemies.

As for why he had to fight Gongsun Zan before suing for peace?
The reason for this, Yuan Shao also explained in the letter, if there is no fight, it will damage the face of Yuan Shao's fourth generation and third prince Yuan.

Although Gongsun Zan was a little displeased with Yuan Shao's way of giving a sweet date with a stick, but now that he was defeated and benefited from the Hejian Kingdom, he endured the humiliation.

But what Gongsun Zan didn't know was that whether it was negotiating peace or selling Hejian Kingdom, it was just a trick planned by Yuan Shao's advisers.

If Gongsun Zan was willing to trust Jushou, Jushou would surely be able to see through Fengji's intentions.

But it was a pity that Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao for a few rounds, and then he was dazzled by the benefits in front of him, so he didn't think much about whether there was a trick behind it.

"Yuan Shao gave up the Hejian Kingdom?"

"Confused! How could Yuan Shao give up his great advantage and form an alliance with General Gongsun!"

When Jushou got the news, Gongsun Zan had already sent troops to sign an alliance with Yuan Shao.

It was Chang Shanyan and Zhang Yi who took the risk of offending Gongsun Zan to tell Jushou the news.

"General Gongsun issued a strict order that no one is allowed to tell Mr. Gong and this matter." Zhang Yi was worried: "But I always feel that there is a fraud in it."

"Yuan Shao is enemies on all sides, it's true, but Yanzhou has just repelled the black bandits and Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao have suspicions, Zhang Miao will not attack Yuan Shao in a short time."

"The black mountain bandits will only appear on a large scale during the autumn harvest, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are still confronting the Huns."

"Grand Sima and Duke Xuande will not take the initiative to attack Jizhou, so the only one Yuan Shao can fight is General Gongsun."

"Only by expelling General Gongsun first can Yuan Shao take charge of the entire Jizhou and compete with Qingyou."

"It's a pity that General Gongsun is greedy for small profits in front of him, and he doesn't realize the crisis at all."

"If General Gongsun is defeated, what should Chang Shan do with itself?"

Jushou was also very helpless at this time.

Gongsun Zan acted arbitrarily and blamed himself for the death of Gongsun Yue, and now he fell into Yuan Shao's tricks.

Even if Jushou was able to detect the general trend and break the conspiracy, it would be difficult to do anything without Gongsun Zan's trust.

"Secretly send a crony to Zhuojun." Ju Shouning said: "After all, Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom are attached to Youzhou in name. Even if Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, he would not dare to occupy Changshan Kingdom!"

And on the other side.

Gongsun Zan personally led the army and concluded an alliance with Yuan Shao outside Changshan.

Seeing that Yuan Shao only brought two thousand soldiers and horses as guards, Gongsun Zan became even less wary.

The place where the covenant was made was flat, and it was easy to see if there was an ambush.

"General Gongsun, there is actually no deep hatred between you and me."

"You should be in charge of Youzhou, why do you have to compete with me in Jizhou?"

"The person who asked you to come to Changshan country at the beginning, his heart can be punished."

Yuan Shao held a banquet in front of the battle between the two armies, and invited Gongsun Zan to have a drink together. While building relationships, he did not forget to alienate Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan said in a concentrated voice, "What does Yuan Shijun mean by this?"

Yuan Shao said slowly: "General Gongsun lived in the frontier fortress for a long time. He could have killed Hu Ligong, but he was slandered by others to come to Jizhou to fight for the front. This is chasing after the end!"

"You and I both know that even if we form an alliance this time, it is impossible for us to live in peace in Jizhou."

"There can only be one Jizhou Mu in this Jizhou."

"I handed over the Hejian Kingdom to General Gongsun in the hope that General Gongsun can return to Youzhou."

"Liu Bei is already Qingzhou Mu, General Zhenxi, and General Gongsun, are you really going to fight to the death with me in Jizhou?"

"I guess, the person who planned the general situation for General Gongsun wants General Gongsun to go to Bingzhou."

"Ma Tenghan in Bingzhou has Dong Zhuo's support, and General Gongsun has no foundation in Bingzhou, so it is difficult to gain a foothold."

"If General Gongsun is interested, I would like to help General Gongsun get rid of Liu Yu."

"When the time comes, General Gongsun will beat the barbarians to his heart's content, and I will be able to avenge last year's revenge by exterminating the Black Mountain bandits."

"In this way, I don't have to be someone else's snipe and clam in Jizhou!"

Yuan Shao's words were sincere, and Gongsun Zan couldn't help but be moved.

Liu Bei became the shepherd of Qingzhou and the general of Zhenxi, which made Gongsun Zan jealous.

But now, Ma Teng and Han Sui are based in Bingzhou, and the road to Bingzhou is basically blocked.

Now they can't defeat Yuan Shao, and the road to Jizhou is also blocked.

Bewitched by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan gradually put his mind on Liu Yu.

"After all, Liu Yu is the shepherd and chief Sima of Youzhou. If I get rid of him, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in Youzhou."

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was not fooled, Yuan Shao said again: "You don't have to kill Liu Yu, General Gongsun can follow Dong Zhuo's example of coercing the emperor to order the Quartet, and one can coerce Liu Yu to order disobedience!"

Gongsun Zan couldn't help but be moved.

If you can really coerce Liu Yu into disobedience, not only can you continue to fight Wuhuan, but you don't have to be trapped in Jizhou!
After a long time, Gongsun Zan said cruelly, "In addition to Hejian Kingdom, I also need Bohai County!"

"But I can give you Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom."

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "General Gongsun wants to block the connection between Youzhou and Qingzhou?"

Gongsun Zan nodded: "Also, I'll send you another piece of information."

"The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is in the hands of Liu Yu!"

Yuan Shao's face changed greatly: "But there are rumors that the Chuan Guo Yuxi is in Liu Bei's hands."

Gongsun Zan sneered: "That was Liu Yu's intention!"

"Let everyone think that the Chuanguo Jade Seal is in Xuande's hands first, so that the Chuanguo Jade Seal can be safely stored in Zhuojun."

"After all, at this time, Liu Yu would not dare to send the Chuan Guo Yuxi to Chang'an."

Yuan Shao asked in a condensed voice: "General Gongsun, are you really sure that the Chuanguo Yuxi is in Liu Yu's place?"

Gongsun Zan nodded: "Liu Yu has my cronies under his command, so there is nothing wrong with that."

Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "God helped us to wait! General Gongsun, the Chuanguo Yuxi is already in Youzhou, why are you and I fighting for Jizhou!"

"With the Chuanguo Yuxi, we can completely support a new emperor!"

"At that time, you and I will both be auxiliary ministers, do you still care who belongs to Youzhou and Jizhou?"

"If we can work together to help the world, we can still be regarded as the famous generals of Yuntai!"

"General Gongsun has a very close relationship with Liu Xuande. After the new emperor is established, Liu Xuande can also join him."

"With the strength of the three of us, who in the world can resist?"

Gongsun Zan's breathing became short of breath.

The future described by Yuan Shao made Gongsun Zan see the possibility of becoming a marquis and a prime minister!

Chuan Guo Yuxi is in Youzhou, why are you still fighting for Jizhou?
Dong Zhuo can coerce the emperor to order the world, so can he, Gongsun Zan!
"Yuan Shijun, you are right, why are we fighting for Jizhou?"

"There is no need to give up Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County."

"Let's work together to capture the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom first."

Gongsun Zan's thoughts suddenly became clear.

If he supported the new emperor, even if Gongsun Zan could not be a great general, he could still be a chariot general or a great Sima.

Where is there still a need to compete with Yuan Shao for a city and a pool, and fight back and forth for Jizhou?

Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "If General Gongsun had told the news about the Jade Seal, you and I wouldn't have to fight each other on the battlefield."

"I'll go back and ask about the countermeasures, and then I'll discuss it with General Gongsun."

After a pause, Yuan Shao reminded again: "Ju Shou under General Gongsun has an old relationship with Liu Bei, so don't leak the news."

Gongsun Zan nodded: "This matter is secret, I naturally know the seriousness, and people who are not trusted enough will not let him know."

After Gongsun Zan left, Yuan Shao immediately summoned Xu You, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu to inform him about the transmission of the imperial jade seal.

"Liu Bei is really cunning. If Gongsun Zan hadn't planted cronies beside Liu Yu, we would have been deceived by Liu Bei!"

"No wonder there are rumors everywhere, Liu Bei is not worried at all, and he doesn't argue, making everyone think that the Chuanguo Yuxi is in Qingzhou."

"He must be worried that Gongsun Zan and I will join forces with Gongsun Zan after learning that the Chuanguo Yuxi is in Zhuojun."

"It's really insidious!"

"It's a pity that Liu Bei still doesn't understand Gongsun Zan, and let me know this secret!"

Yuan Shao's tone was brisk.

If Liu Yu refused to become emperor, then kill Liu Yu and let Liu Yu's son become emperor.

Anyway, they are all puppets, and it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor.

Xu You's eyes also brightened.

To support the new emperor, Xu You had an idea and practiced it a long time ago.

Now that he had another chance, Xu You was quite excited: "Duke Ming can pretend to fight Gongsun Zan to the death and invite Liu Yu to persuade him to make peace."

"Let Gongsun Zan capture Liu Yu alive and force Liu Yu to hand over the Chuanguo Yuxi!"

"If Liu Yu refuses to obey, we can let Gongsun Zan put Liu Yu under house arrest first, and let him coerce Liu Yu to order dissatisfied."

"As long as Liu Yu is in Gongsun Zan's hands, the Chuanguo Yuxi will not escape!"

"Duke Ming can also make an agreement with Gongsun Zan that as long as Gongsun Zan gets the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he will let Gongsun Zan be a general! And the Lord wants a Jizhou Mu and Bingzhou Mu to dispel Gongsun Zan's suspicion."

"In this way, Gongsun Zan will become the target of public criticism, and even Liu Bei in Qingzhou will break off all ties with Gongsun Zan!"

"And Minggong can not only get the actual benefits of Jizhou and Bingzhou, but also secretly make friends with Liu Yu's old troops to attack Gongsun Zan."

"When Gongsun Zan dies, Duke Ming will not only get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but also take charge of Youji and merge the three prefectures."

"Who in the world can resist?"
