Chapter Five Hundred and Six: Gongsun Zan's Marriage
The caravans of Shuanggui and Anxiguo, after seeing the prosperity of Shanghai County, were happy and lingering.
After Zhao Zihu took office, he gradually adapted to this job.
Currently, we are vigorously cultivating talents and learning languages from various countries.
At this moment, Liaodong envoy Gongsun Fan arrived in Jiangdong and asked to see Lu Bu.
When the princes in the world were in chaos, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and occupied the land of Youzhou and Liaodong.
However, as Cao Cao's power continues to expand, the friction between the two sides continues to occur.
Gongsun Zan's power borders the foreign tribe Wuheng.
It is precisely because of Gongsun Zan that Wu Heng could not go straight in and hurt the Han people.
Cao Cao was injured because he went south to attack Lu Bu, and followed him to attack Yuan Shu and ended in failure.
And as long as Lu Bu is there, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to take over Yuan Shu for a while.
Therefore, Cao Cao turned his attention to Gongsun Zan from Liaodong and decided to take Gongsun Zan first and unify the north.
Cao Cao believed that as long as he unified the north, the world would be his own sooner or later.
Because he fought with Jiangdong and Yuan Shu one after another, Cao Cao was exhausted now.
For Cao Cao, now is not the best time to attack Gongsun Zan.
However, this year, Liaodong encountered a severe drought that was not encountered in 30 years. Many places have no food production, and many places in Liaodong are in panic.
This was an excellent opportunity to attack Liaodong. Cao Cao decided to seize this opportunity and take Gongsun Zan down in one fell swoop.
In order to ensure that Gongsun Zan can be conquered and reduce his own losses, Cao Cao and Wuheng tribe married.
Then he joined forces with Wuheng's troops, joined forces with the inside and outside, and jointly attacked Gongsun Zan.
At present, Gongsun Zan is being attacked on both sides and the situation is in danger.
It was under this situation that Gongsun Fan went on a mission to Jiangdong with a mission.
Instead of meeting Gongsun Fan at the first time, Lu Bu summoned Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others to hold an emergency meeting.
Lu Bu first asked everyone: "Now Gongsun Fan is asking for help, everyone tells me, what should we do?"
Xun Yu said first: "Lord, my subordinates believe that we should help Gongsun Zan. First of all, Gongsun Zan's many years of resistance to Wuheng made an indelible contribution to our great Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan, the people of our northern Han Dynasty would have been devastated by the foreign tribes of Wuheng."
"Secondly, if you sit idly and let Cao Cao unify the north, Cao Cao's power will expand rapidly by then, and you will use the emperor to command the princes to occupy the great power, and no one can check or balance it."
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Jia Xu smiled and said, "I heard from the lord that the enemy is a friend. And Gongsun Zan is the enemy of the enemy. Therefore, my subordinates also believe that if Gongsun Zan wants to save him, he must save him!"
Then, Lu Bu looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia shrugged and said, "Lord, don't look at me. My thoughts are the same as those of them. I will not say much after they say anything."
OK, it seems that everyone’s opinions are very consistent. Gongsun Zan wants to save him!
Gongsun Zan has many shortcomings, such as being arrogant and domineering, and likes to enjoy themselves, which is comparable to Yuan Shu.
But there is no doubt that Gongsun Zan is definitely a national hero!
In an ancient history of the Middle Ages, the Chinese nation was invaded by grassland peoples.
In the confrontation with grassland people, most of them are at a disadvantage.
But Gongsun Zan and his White Horse Yicong are one of the few exceptions.
Gongsun Zan's white horse was so fierce that Wu Heng was so scared.
The Wuheng tribe was afraid of Gongsun Zan, and once reached the point where thousands of troops avoided their white robes!
For this reason, Gongsun Zan is worth saving.
After confirming this, the next thing we need to discuss is how to save and what steps they need to do.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, since you are sure to save Gongsun Zan, what your subordinates mean is that we can fund Gongsun Zan's food and weapons. However, according to what your subordinates see, we should not directly send troops to assist."
Xun Yu had a different opinion: "Lord, my subordinates believe that we should not only support Gongsun Zan's food and grass, but also send troops to assist Gongsun Zan to ensure that Gongsun Zan will not be destroyed by the coalition forces of Wu Heng and Cao Cao."
"With Gongsun Zan here, you can get involved in Cao Cao in the rear, so that Cao Cao cannot grow and grow. If Gongsun Zan is destroyed, the situation will be also unfavorable for me, Jiangdong."
Um?
Unexpectedly, the two military advisors actually had a dispute?
Lu Bu couldn't help looking at Jia Xu.
Seeing Lu Bu looking at him, Jia Xu couldn't help but say, "I think the words of the two military advisors make sense."
Well, okay, your words are actually nonsense!
Then I heard Jia Xu continue to say: "My subordinates think that we can make a decision after meeting Gongsun Fan. If we only need to fund Gongsun Zan's food, grass, weapons and equipment, and Gongsun Zan can overcome the difficulties, then we don't need to send troops."
"If Gongsun Zan is just helping food, grass and weapons, and Gongsun Zan still cannot overcome the difficulties, then we need to send troops to help Gongsun Zan and ensure Gongsun Zan's safety. However, our subordinates believe that food, grass and weapons and equipment cannot be given to Gongsun Zan for free, and he needs to exchange war horses and furs for war!"
Well, okay, Jia Xu’s opinion is actually a compromise opinion.
But now it seems that Jia Xu's opinion is still relatively reliable.
And what Jia Xu said in the end that food, grass, weapons and equipment need to be exchanged for war horses and fur, is in line with Lu Bu's thoughts.
Gongsun Zan is in danger. Of course we need help, but we can’t help you in vain, right?
Lu Bu nodded and agreed to Jia Xu's opinion.
Then, Lu Bu grandly met Gongsun Fan in Nanjing City.
After meeting Lu Bu, Gongsun Fan bowed and said, "Gongsun Fan from Liaodong, I have met the governor Lu."
Lu Bu laughed and helped Gongsun Fan up, laughing and said, "He is a guest from afar, why should Mr. Gongsun be so polite? Come and see the seat!"
Next, Xun Yu helped Gongsun Fan introduce other members of the governor's mansion.
After seeing each other, they said something polite.
After saying politely, you can finally get to the point.
Gongsun Fan stood up and said to Lu Bu: "Governor Lu, Fan came this time to marry Jiangdong!"
Um?
A magic horse thing?
Isn’t you here to ask for help this time?
Why did it become a marriage again?
Lu Bu was shocked, but Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Guo Jia exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
Then Gongsun Fan continued, "Governor Lu, my elder brother Gongsun Zan has a daughter, who is only 28 years old. She is born in a beautiful and beautiful way, and she is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is reasonable, dignified and virtuous."
"My elder brother respects Governor Lu as a hero in the world. He wants to become a favor with Governor Lu and Jin, and will surely be passed down as a good story in the world. I wonder what the governor wants?"
Well, OK.
In fact, Lu Bu also understood what Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Fan were thinking.
This is because Lu Bu won't help them, so he will continue to marry.
In fact, Lu Bu really wanted to tell Gongsun Fan that there was no need for this at all.
Even if I don’t get married, I will send troops to help you.
