The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1175 The Battle for Military Power ([-])

Even after Gongsun Yuan accepted Liao Li's plan to attack Youzhou, he still felt very worried.

It should be said that Gongsun Yuan is still quite suspicious, and it is difficult to hand over his power to others.

Therefore, he did not hand over the power to assemble the army and assign tasks to Liao Li, but to Bei Yan for execution.Therefore, Liao Li, the military adviser, finally became not assisting Gongsun Yuan, but assisting Bei Yan.

Such an approach, of course, can greatly hinder Liao Li, preventing him from properly assigning the next combat missions to the various troops.

At the same time, Gongsun Yuan summoned Bei Yan in private every day to learn more about everything Liao Li did in the army every day, for fear that Liao Li would play tricks on him in the army.

Under this kind of treatment, Liao immediately felt that no matter how good his previous impression of Gongsun Yuan was, it felt bad at this moment.

Fortunately, at this time, Liao Li no longer likes to feel good about himself as he used to when he was under Liu Bei, and he no longer has any guards in his mouth.He was quite tolerant, but in the end he had to go to Gongsun Yuan and made a very severe complaint face to face.

After all, according to the practice since the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, the military division enjoys great power in the army, and can even directly command the entire army instead of the general.This can be seen from the way Kong Ming commanded all the troops under Liu Bei's command as a military officer.

In the current Shu Han army, there is no such position as a military adviser, but only a commander who joins the army to assist the army. Perhaps it is out of such considerations to avoid possible power disputes between the commander and the military adviser.

Therefore, in view of the above situation, Liao Li did have enough confidence to go to Gongsun Yuan for power.

Liao Li came directly to the door, which immediately made Gongsun Yuan feel a little at a loss on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also felt angry in his heart, embarrassing himself.

However, Gongsun Yuan is Gongsun Yuan, and he was quite cunning in dealing with foreign officials like Liao Li. He didn't turn his back on Liao Li on the spot. He just used words to stabilize Liao Li for the time being, promising that he would be released soon. Power to Liao Li.

I just don't know how fast it will be.

According to Liu Chan's intentions, Liao Li had only about one month left to send troops to Liaodong.The Liaodong army had to retreat from the Yongzhou army, and the Youzhou army had not yet returned to the garrison, and captured Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Liao Li does have some time now, but it is not a lot of time.

However, Liao Li decided not to push Gongsun Yuan too hard.

This is something he and Zhang Wen decided after a secret discussion.

Zhang Wen believed that with Gongsun Yuan's rather irritable character, he would definitely turn his back on others. As long as he felt ashamed, he would start to weigh his current actions.

Of course, Liao Li couldn't compare to a romantic figure like Zhang Wen in terms of his conduct.In addition, Zhang Wen's contact with Gongsun Yuan is much longer than his own, and his understanding of his personality is also much deeper.

Therefore, from Liao Li's point of view, Zhang Wen shared the same interests and positions as himself, and there was no possibility of framing him. Such a suggestion should be said to be entirely out of good intentions.Liao Li also accepted Zhang Wen's suggestion, but he asked Gongsun Yuan for an explanation, and tried his best not to tear his face with Gongsun Yuan.

It should be said that Zhang Wen's suggestion has some effect.

After Liao Li left, Gongsun Yuan immediately summoned Bei Yan and his son Gongsun Xiu, and told him everything about Liao Li's coming to him.

Gongsunxiu is similar to his father. Although he is very tall, there is not much real material inside.

In addition, although he maintained a friendly attitude with Liao Li on the surface, in his heart, he looked down on such a humble person like Liao Li.

Now when he heard that Liao Li dared to come to ask for the power of the army, his head became hot, and he immediately said angrily: "This Liao Li really doesn't know what is good or bad! If we in Liaodong can let him take up such an important position as a military adviser, then It's all because of Shu Han's face! He thought he was something, but he dared to show his face and ran to ask his father for military power!"

It should be said that Gongsun Xiu's statement is more pleasing to Gongsun Yuan.But Gongsun Yuan still has experience after all, and seeing Gongsun Xiu's superficial emotional expression, he felt that it was too late.If he himself behaved like Gongsun Xiu, he couldn't help ordering someone to drag Liao Li out and kill him just now. Does he still need to discuss with everyone now?

Gongsun Yuan raised his face, and reprimanded Gongsun Xiu: "You are too aggressive, boy! There are so many capable people and sages in this world, and there are also many ugly ones. You just don't have the skills to do things. You need to learn more from now on. point!"

Gongsun Xiu said unconvinced: "I remember my father once said that if Liao Li dared to come to claim the military power of the Liaodong army, he would be killed immediately? Then why are you still hesitating now? This is definitely not like your father. Personality?"

Gongsun Yuan had indeed said that before Liao Li came to Liaodong, but at this time and at that time, who stipulated that what he said must mean what he said?
Gongsun Yuan's complexion changed, and he glared at Gongsun Xiu, this kid really can't open any pot!He said angrily: "That was a thing in the past, and the situation is different now. Don't you know that the plan of dispatching troops proposed by Liao Li, if you imagine it carefully, is actually more and more outstanding? Such a situation How can someone be easily killed? What's more, his current status as a military adviser has long been known. Have you ever heard of killing a military without any guilt before the army is dispatched?"

At the end, Gongsun Yuan's violent temper appeared, and his face became a little ferocious. Gongsun Xiu lowered his head and dared not say anything to Gongsun Yuan.

Only then did Gongsun Yuan look at Bei Yan and asked, "General Bei, what do you think of today's events?"

Bei Yan had always been able to avoid this matter.He can be regarded as a self-aware person, knowing that although he has won the trust of Gongsun Yuan, he is actually self-aware of how many tricks he has.

Therefore, after seeing Liao Li's strategy of dispatching troops that day, I could only feel amazed in my heart.

Recently, he himself has been working with Liao Li in the army. Although he is actually the person sent by Gongsun Yuan to restrain Liao Li, because of the respect for Liao Li in his heart, many things are still based on the principle of convenience, and he can help as much as possible. .

Therefore, hearing Gongsun Yuan ask his opinion now, this was an event that was bound to happen, but Bei Yan was caught in a dilemma in his heart.His original principle was to cooperate with Gongsun Yuan's personal thoughts as much as possible, then everything will be fine, but now it is very difficult to do so.

Bei Yan had no choice but to ask: "Master, do you now think that it will be difficult to protect Liaodong when Cao Wei's army is pressing down on the border?"
