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

Chapter 199 Shocked everywhere, Gongsun Zan kills an angel
This cannot be blamed on Liu Biao.

As the saying goes: Bandits are not to be feared, but bandits are educated.

Although Yuan Shu lost consecutive battles in Chenliu, Nanyang, and Yingchuan, and was besieged by several forces when he arrived in Yangzhou, Yuan Shu always carried out the military style of "as long as I am immoral, no one can kidnap me morally":

Wherever you go, grab where you want.

No food?Find Yuan's disciples and old officials to apportion.

Dare to say half a word, and directly ransack the house and rob money and food with reasons such as "As a former student of the Yuan family, he can't bear to part with food and grass? The ungrateful person should be killed!"

No soldiers?Recruit bandits, bandits, refugees, and strong men.

With money and food in hand, are you afraid that you will have no soldiers or generals?
Yuan Shu didn't have the fine character of the famous Runan Yuan family at all.

The wealthy families in the Huainan area dared not speak out, and could only endure silently.

After all, on the bright side, it is only natural for the disciples and former officials of the Yuan family to provide money and food to Yuan Shu, the son of the Yuan family.

As for the ordinary Lishu people who were refugees?

Yuan Shu has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, how could he care about the life and death of ants?
Because of this, Liu Biao's slogan for sending troops is to come to Huainan to suppress bandits!
Every word does not mention Yuan Shu, every word points to Yuan Shu.

"Send an order for Sun Jian to return to Shouchun and prepare for the battle against Xiakou."

"Liu Biao, an old man, wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Yangzhou to snatch Huainan, but he didn't dare to come."

"Dare to suppress bandits?"

"Ben will let you come and go!"

……

Zhuo County.

Gongsun Zan looked at the young general in white robes in front of Liu Yu's mansion, feeling apprehensive: "Zhao Sima, there is no future with the Great Sima."

"Why don't you follow this general, how about this general let you lead Baima Yicong?"

"With your ability, you will definitely be famous all over the world!"

Zhao Yun gripped the bright silver gun tightly, and looked at Gongsun Zan with guarded and angry eyes: "General Gongsun, you and I have different ways, and we will not conspire with each other."

"If there is nothing important, please leave!"

"If you want to be disrespectful to Da Sima, even if Yun dies, he will splatter three feet of blood with you!"

Gongsun Zan's eyes suddenly darkened.

If this were said personally, Gongsun Zan would simply let the guards around him drag him down and kill him.

However, the teenager in front of him is Zhao Yun!

Gongsun Zan couldn't help but think of Wen Chou, the general who Zhao Yun defeated Yuan Shao at the banquet that day, and Wen Chou who defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou alone.

Although swords were used at the banquet, because Yan Liangwen and Chou were not good at using swords, but Zhao Yun's bravery really made Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao afraid.

The reason why Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan did not dare to take down Liu Yu on the spot was because of Zhao Yun's sentence "Whoever hurts the great Sima should be splashed with blood for three feet"!
The venue for the banquet was so big, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan didn't dare to bet on whether Zhao Yun could "splash the blood of hatred three feet".

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, it was Liu Yu who gave up resistance on his own initiative.

If not, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would not have put Liu Yu under house arrest so easily.

"Zhao Sima, good birds choose trees to live in, don't make mistakes."

Gongsun Zan gave up his plan to meet Liu Yu.

After Gongsun Zan left, Zhao Yun went inside to meet Liu Yu.

Liu Yu seemed to be ten years older, and his mental state was not the same as before.

"If the old man didn't listen to Yuan Hao and Zilong's good words, and mistrusted Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, he wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"Zilong, you don't need to stay in Zhuojun."

"With your talent, if you go to Qingzhou Xuande's command, you will definitely be valued."

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Great Sima knew he was in danger, but he still wanted to go to the banquet, so that the soldiers and people of Changshan Kingdom would not suffer from the war."

"If Yun abandons Da Sima and goes to Qingzhou alone, what face will he have when he sees Duke Xuande?"

"How can a man be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"If Lord Xuande knows about the changes in Youzhou, he will also try to find a way."

"Yun's duty is to protect Da Sima!"

Seeing Zhao Yun insisting, Liu Yu couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan used Yangmou.

The bet is that it is impossible for Liu Yu to sit idly by watching hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians being involved in military disasters.

When Liu Yu went to the banquet and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan met each other, Liu Yu already understood that the situation in Youzhou was no longer something he could change.

Liu Yu, who couldn't bear Zhao Yun's death in vain, chose to tie his hands when Zhao Yun was about to go all out.

Government office.

Gongsun Zan, who was beaten in front of Zhao Yun, was indignant.

Knowing the whole story, Gongsun Fan comforted him and said, "Brother, Zhao Yun is a native of Changshan. He is loyal, brave and righteous. It is impossible for him to cling to his brother."

"Now that Liu Yu refuses to become emperor, why don't you establish Liu He?"

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly: "The general asked Liu He, and threatened Liu He with Liu Yu's life, but Liu He refused."

"What are you talking about to die for a big man? Both father and son will leave their names, and they deserve to die!"

"I don't know what to do!"

Gongsun Fan frowned: "Liu He also disagrees, so I can only support other clan kings."

"It's better to establish Hejian King Liu Kai. Hejian King Liu Kai is the brother of Liu Kai of Hejian Kingdom, and he is also a brother of the same generation as the current emperor."

Gongsun Zan shook his head: "But in this way, it will be difficult for us to order the counties in Youzhou."

Gongsun Fan said with a smile: "Brother, even if I support Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, I can let Liu Yu continue to be the chief minister!"

"The contribution of supporting the establishment must also be counted as Liu Yu's father and son."

Gongsun Zan suddenly came to his senses.

Supporting Liu Yu is convenient for ordering Youzhou.

But if the new emperor is supported by Liu Yu, not only can he continue to command Youzhou, but it will also make it easier for the new emperor to be recognized!
"Fan Di is right!"

Gongsun Zan was in high spirits, as if he had seen himself as a great general!

Just when Gongsun Zan was discussing with Gongsun Fan to support Liu Kai, King of Hejian, Sun Rui, a servant of Shangshu and archer, also went to Zhuojun via Zhongshan Kingdom in Bingzhou.

But when Gongsun Zan saw that he was the envoy of Chang'an, he became angry: "Brother Yue died at the hands of soldiers from Xiliang, and I was worried that there was no sacrifice for Brother Yue."

"It's just right, kill this Shangshu Pushe, and use it as a sacrifice to pay homage to Brother Yue!"

"Wait until we break through Chang'an in the future, and then take Dong Zhuo's head, so as to comfort Brother Yue's soul in heaven!"

It was Gongsun Zan's confidant, Gongsun Ji, who reported the letter. Seeing that Gongsun Zan wanted to kill Sun Rui, Gongsun Ji hurriedly said, "No, general!"

"When Nashi Sun Rui came to Zhuocheng, he said with great fanfare at the gate of the city that the imperial court appointed the general as the former general, Marquis of Yi, Governor Qingjiyou and the soldiers of the four prefectures."

Gongsun Zan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "To be named as a former general, Dong Zhuo is already scared!"

"But Dong Zhuo underestimated me too!"

"If you can be a general, why do you want to be a current general?"

"With a false name, do you want Ben to give up the support he has achieved?"

"Moreover, brother Yue's revenge must be avenged!"

Gongsun Zan hesitated.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was hesitating, Gongsun Ji said, "General, Shi Sun Rui also said that Bingzhou Inspector Ma Teng, Yanzhou Inspector Zang Hong, and Liu Qingzhou all received the imperial edict from Chen Bing to go north."

It would be fine if Gongsun Ji didn't say it, but this directly angered Gongsun Zan.

What Gongsun Zan hated most in his life was threats from others.

Whatever Dong Zhuo is, he deserves it!

Gongsun Zan said angrily, "These court officials know how to play tricks!"

"Did you really think Ben would be so easily deceived?"

"Since Dong Zhuo dared to threaten with military power, then the general will not reciprocate. Wouldn't it make him proud?"

"Gongsun Ji, you personally supervise the execution, and ask the deputy envoy Sun Rui to bring back the dog's head to Dong Zhuo."

"Let the deputy envoy tell Dong Zhuo: This general will definitely lead the army and break through Chang'an!"

"Afan, send someone to Qingzhou to deliver a letter to Xuande."

"Tell Xuande that Da Sima has agreed to support the king of Hejian, Liu Kai, as emperor!"

"If Xuande is willing to come, I will be a general, but Xuande can be a general of hussars!"

"Send someone to tell Yuan Shao to send Hejian King Liu Kai to Zhuojun to prepare for the enthronement ceremony!"

Gongsun Fan hesitated and said: "Brother, what if Liu Qingzhou refuses to come?"

Gongsun Zan was silent.

But it was only silent for a moment.

"I will treat Xuande like a younger brother. If he doesn't come, I will not force him."

"When I am about to step through Chang'an and there is only one emperor of the Han family in the world, Xuande will naturally come!"

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao discovered Chang'an's response, and quickly summoned counselors to discuss.

"Dong Zhuo, this man, even sent Shangshu servant Sun Rui to go to Zhuojun to announce the decree, and named Gongsun Zan the former general, Yihou, governor Qingjiyou and the four prefectures."

"I also ordered Ma Teng, Zang Hong, Liu Bei and Chen Bing to go north."

"Also named Mengde the Inspector of Yuzhou, General Zhendong, and Marquis of Fei Ting."

"What's even more infuriating is that Dong Zhuo spread the news recklessly, as if I didn't know it!"

"Hateful! Annoying!"

Although Yuan Shao looked down on the canonization of the imperial court, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao were all conferred, but not himself.

This made Yuan Shao feel very humiliated.

Yuan Shao could sternly reject Chang'an's appointment as an official, but he couldn't bear being ignored by Chang'an.

"Everyone, if Gongsun Zan agrees with the current general, our previous plan will fail."

Yuan Shao was a little worried.

This is a great opportunity to support the new emperor!
As long as the new emperor is supported, the people of Guandong will not have to listen to Chang'an's decree.

When the time comes, Yuan Shao will get rid of Gongsun Zan on the grounds that Gongsun Zan put the great Sima under house arrest without authorization. With the prestige of Yuan's four generations and three princes, the new emperor and the new court will not have to listen to Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu laughed and said, "Master Ming, don't worry! Dong Zhuo appointed Gongsun Zan as the former general, Yihou, governor Qing Jiyou and his troops, but he ordered Ma Teng, Zang Hong, Liu Bei and Chen Bing to go north."

"This is to lure them to benefit and to intimidate them."

"Given Gongsun Zan's personality, if Dong Zhuo was only made a marquis and a general, perhaps this matter would still be possible."

"However, Dong Zhuo's vain attempt to intimidate Gongsun Zan with military power violated Gongsun Zan's taboo. Not only would it fail to succeed, but it would actually speed up Gongsun Zan's efforts to support the new emperor."

"The person who offered advice, if he wasn't a man of paper who thinks he's upright, must have a big grudge against Dong Zhuo."

Xu You also said: "Gong is justified. Gongsun Zan is soft and not hard. If he speaks kindly to Gongsun Zan and flatters him a little bit, maybe Gongsun Zan will weigh the pros and cons and agree to Chang'an's canonization."

"But to scare Gongsun Zan with military power, hehe, who is Gongsun Zan? He is someone who dares to kill even Liu Yu. How could he be coerced by Dong Zhuo?"

"If Gongsun Zan agreed to the canonization because of Dong Zhuo's military prowess, it would be tantamount to telling the world: Gongsun Zan is afraid of Dong Zhuo, so he accepts the canonization!"

"It's a pity, the person who offered advice in Chang'an has some strategies, but not many."

"Minggong can send someone to tell Gongsun Zan: Bingzhou and Yanzhou soldiers and horses Minggong will come to block, and Qingzhou's Liu Bei will be handed over to Gongsun Zan."

Although Feng Ji is dissatisfied with Xu You and Guo Tu, he also knows that now is not the time to slander Xu You and Guo Tu.

But if he didn't speak up, he would appear to be incompetent, so Feng Ji also cupped his hands and said:

"Ming Gong, Liu Yu and his son are very loyal to the emperor of Chang'an, and they will not agree to become emperor."

"According to Gongsun Zan's original idea, he wanted to wait for all the counties and counties in Youzhou to surrender, and then change to the clan king to proclaim himself emperor."

"But now, under Dong Zhuo's persecution, Gongsun Zan has no choice but to immediately change to another clan king."

"The longer the delay, the worse it will be for Gongsun Zan!"

"We still have to thank Dong Zhuo for allowing Duke Ming to be rewarded for his ambition."

Yuan Shao saw that all the counselors thought this was a good thing, and the worries in his heart gradually disappeared.

As long as it does not affect the final plan, it is not impossible to block the troops of Yanzhou and Bingzhou for Gongsun Zan.

Just now.

People reported the arrival of Gongsun Zan's envoy.

The counselors immediately laughed and said nothing.

Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned Gongsun Zan's envoy, and when he heard Gongsun Zan's request to send Hejian King Liu Kai to Zhuojun to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, the last trace of worry in Yuan Shao's heart disappeared completely.

"Haha, it's as expected!"

"Dong Zhuo superimposed on the snake and angered Gongsun Zan!"

The envoy also told that Gongsun Zan had killed Sun Rui, the servant of Shangshu who announced the decree.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao jumped up against the table: "The time has come, the opportunity I've been waiting for has come!"

"Summon Yan Liang and Wen Chou quickly. Hejian King Liu Kai must be sent to Zhuocheng safely. If there is any damage, they don't have to come back."

"Haha! God help me too! God help me too!"

Wait until Gongsun Zan's envoy leaves.

Xu You was the first to get up, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Duke Ming's great cause! As long as Gongsun Zan supports Hejian King Liu Kai and proclaims himself emperor, regardless of success or failure, he will be the target of public criticism."

"When Duke Ming gets rid of Gongsun Zan, he will be able to serve the emperor to command all directions, and he will no longer have to worry about being unknown."

"Then Dong Zhuo thinks that by moving westward to Chang'an, the son of heaven and the prince, he can follow the example of the king of Qin and disrupt the Guandong. But unfortunately, Dong Zhuo is not a strong Qin, and Minggong is not a weak Zhao!"

Feng Ji also got up quickly: "Congratulations to Ming Gong's great cause! My subordinates are willing to send troops to the Yellow River Ferry to resist Zang Hong."

Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xun Chen and others also expressed their congratulations.

Yuan Shao even laughed heartily: "If you achieve great success, you will all be important ministers of the country! You must work together, and don't ruin the country's major affairs because of private grievances."

the other side.

Gongsun Zan's messenger also came to Linzi City.

Knowing that Gongsun Zan had killed Sun Rui, the servant of Xuanzhi, the archer, he invited himself to support Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, and proclaim him emperor in a letter.

Liu Bei was too shocked to speak.

After a while, Liu Bei stared at the messenger, and asked, "Where is Da Sima now?"

Accompanied by Liu Bei's shout, Chen Dao, the newly promoted commander of the personal guard, directly drew his sword and put it on the envoy's neck.

The emissary was too frightened to move, and hurriedly said: "The Great Sima has been recuperating in Zhuocheng, but the villain really doesn't know where exactly."

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Zhi, take care of this man, hurry up and invite Xianmou, Yunchang and Yide to discuss matters!"
