Chapter 59 Yuan Shao secretly knots Gongsun
As the biggest contributor to the challenge of Dong this time, the Jizhou Army's troops attracted everyone's attention.
Even Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, couldn't help laughing when he heard the army of Jizhou heading north, and stayed overnight in the harem for half a month and ignored the court affairs.
However, if someone is happy, someone is worried.
Compared to Dong Zhuo's happiness, Yuan Shao's mood was much worse.
This time, the princes attacked Dong, not only did he not make much contribution, but instead made Han Fu famous. Even Pan Feng was more famous in the coalition forces than his main alliance. This is definitely not a good phenomenon for Yuan Shao, who has always coveted Jizhou.
At this time, the coalition forces had gradually dispersed. Yuan Shao took his troops and horses and did not return to the Bohai Sea, but followed Wang Kuang to the Hanoi area.
Yuan Shao did not dare to lead his army to Bohai County directly. If there was a conflict with Han Fu, he would have no place to run in Bohai even if he wanted to run. What's more, with Wang Kuang's help in Han Fu, he would not need to be shackled by Han Fu when recruiting troops.
The shackles that Han Fu put on Yuan Shao in the past have completely lost their effect with the help of Wang Kuang. With the support of Hanoi County, Yan Liang and Wen Chou under his command have arrived. Now Yuan Shao's power is in a period of rapid growth and expansion. I believe that it will not take long to catch up with Han Fu's Jizhou army.
However, if Yuan Shao took the initiative to attack Jizhou, he would definitely be criticized by the world. No matter how stupid he is, he will never do such a thing.
In Yuan Shao's convention hall, a group of civil and military officials were among the top.
Seeing so many capable and powerful generals under his command, Yuan Shao sighed: "It's a pity that Dong thief couldn't help but fight, which made Han Wenjie and Pan Feng take so many advantages that the world only knows Han Fu in Jizhou but not Yuan Shao in Bohai!"
Yuan Shao compared himself to saying that people in the world do not know him, which is obviously an exaggeration. After all, the Yuan family of the four generations and three dukes is only famous at this stage, and he and Yuan Shu are the two. Even if he stayed in Bohai and did nothing, there were many people in the world who knew him, Yuan Shao.
However, this time, Pan Feng and others did make the limelight, and as the leader, he was somewhat unhappy.
"Hehe, lord, why should you sigh? You must know that although Han Fu has made some contributions, he is still a disciple of Yuan. How can Han Fu forget the lord's Yuan family if he knows him?" Xu You stood up and said.
As the number one strategist under Yuan Shao, Xu You's words made Yuan Shao look a little better, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case.
"Haha, I love hearing what you said, but now Han Fu is famous, even Pan Feng is also famous. In this way, when will I take over Jizhou?"
When talking about this, Yuan Shao was in a bad mood again.
After seeing the wealth in Jizhou, he could not give up any of them. Thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of people, if they mobilize a little, they will be no problem to recruit more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops!
More than ten or two hundred thousand!
This is just a conservative number, such a force is enough to crush most princes.
How could Yuan Shao not be jealous of such a territory?
Xu You and others had long known about Yuan Shao's covetousness for Jizhou, so they had been trying to find a way to seek Jizhou for Yuan Shao. At this time, Xu You dared to stand up because he had a decision in his heart.
"Don't worry, lord, I have already figured out a plan for lord. As long as lord follows the method, he will not be able to take over the entire Jizhou area and have a legitimate excuse to settle in various parts of Jizhou. At that time, it will be a matter of time to seize Jizhou!"
"Oh? What's your plan for Ziyuan? Come on!" Yuan Shao looked happy when he saw Xu Youxin's confident appearance.
At this time, not only Yuan Shao, but also other civil and military officials present also looked at Xu You, which made Xu You even more proud.
"Lord, Han Fu is a cowardly person and has little decisions. If he encounters war, he will be hesitant."
Xu You said, Yuan Shao and others nodded while listening.
"There is only one Pan Feng who Han Fu is fighting for now." Speaking of this, Xu You recalled the scene when he met Pan Feng in his mind. "Although Pan Feng is treacherous and cunning, he has all his courage to lead troops to fight. The two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou under the lord's command are both brave and inappropriate. Pan Feng has only one person, how can he defeat the two generals?"
Xu You's words made Yan Liangwen Chou stand up unconsciously straighten his chest.
"If I hadn't had the order before, I wouldn't have allowed Pan Feng to be so arrogant? The lord Wuyou, just Pan Feng, you can capture him alone!"
Yan Liang is a person with a good mind. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he will certainly give himself some face in front of Yuan Shao. Anyway, bragging is not illegal.
Sure enough, when Yuan Shao heard Yan Liang's words, he felt proud and slapped his hands heavily and shouted loudly.
"Not only Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but the other generals are also good at fighting. How could they be afraid of Pan Feng!"
The atmosphere in the field became hotter because of Yuan Shao and Yan Liang's words. Other generals all suggested capturing Han Fu and killing Pan Feng, which made Xu You chuckled repeatedly.
"The loyalty and courage of all the generals are commendable, but if we fight alone, the final decisiveness is still unknown!" Xu You's words made everyone present shut up.
"What are the insights in Ziyuan?" Yuan Shao asked.
Xu You bowed and said, "Lord, except for Pan Feng, the rest of Han Fu's command is not worth worrying about. But if our army forces war with him, on the one hand, the division will be Wuming, and on the other hand, with similar strength, it will be a tragic victory, so we need a foreign aid to help!"
foreign aid!
Yuan Shao's heart moved: "Who can help me?"
Xu You stroked his beard and said confidently: "Beijing Gongsun Zan!"
Yuan Shao frowned. He knew that Gongsun Zan was not close to Han Fu, but he got along well with Pan Feng. Will such a person help him attack Han Fu? Besides, Liu Bei and others brought by Gongsun Zan were also scolded and driven away by Yuan Shu. Will he have any grudge against Yuan at this time?
But then again, if Gongsun Zan and himself attacked each other on both sides, Han Fu would be attacked from the back and forth, and then submit.
But what if Gongsun Zan joins forces with Han Fu to attack him because of his grudge? Isn’t that an enemy is added in vain?
"Ziyuan, it's not that I don't want to join forces with Gongsun Zan, but that this person is not for me!" Yuan Shao sighed and expressed his concerns.
Xu You smiled when he heard this: "Lord, who is Liu Bei? Who is the lord? If Gongsun Zan's eyes are so short that he compares his lord with Liu Bei, then it would be better if he doesn't want this stupid allies like pigs!"
Xu You's words made Yuan Shao raise his waist.
Yes, how could he be compared with the three kings of Yuan’s four generations and three kings?
"I'm too worried, but what conditions do I have to use to drive Gongsun Zan to cooperate with the plan?"
"Haha, just make a city!"
......
Xu You thought it was right. After Gongsun Zan received Yuan Shao’s secret letter, he agreed without thinking.
Today, Gongsun Zan's status in Youzhou is very embarrassing.
On the one hand, he has the reputation of being a general of the White Horse. When the White Horse goes out, foreigners are frightened. On the other hand, he is restricted by Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, who advocates the policy of Huairou.
Gongsun Zan was born in Liaoxi County, Youzhou. Although he was born into a noble family, he was not valued since childhood because of his low motherhood. It is precisely because of this that Gongsun Zan has witnessed countless scenes of robbery from childhood, which made his hatred for foreign tribes penetrate into his bones.
Liu Yu relied on his own prestige and kindness to make foreign tribes surrender to the Han Dynasty, and the two sides remained stalemate due to this contradiction.
Because of this, when the concepts were seriously conflicted, Gongsun Zan's status in Youzhou became increasingly marginal, especially after he had almost made any contributions after he challenged Dong, which damaged Gongsun Zan's prestige, and most nobles from aristocratic families began to avoid Gongsun Zan intentionally or unintentionally.
Today, Gongsun Zan urgently needs a piece of land to develop his strength, so when Yuan Shao's secret alliance letter was delivered, he decisively responded.
As for the previous friendship with Pan Feng, it must be no more important than territory!
After Gongsun Zan formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, both sides began to recruit soldiers and accumulate strength. They just waited for the time to be ripe. As long as Yuan Shao issued an order, Gongsun Zan would lead troops south and threaten Jizhou!
