Chapter 184: Yanzhou Changes Owners Yuan Shao secretly joins Gongsun Zan
After Xiahou Dun killed Cheng Yuanzhi, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was like a headless snake, but was struggling before the defeat. Cao Cao then suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army that invaded Yanzhou with thunder, and selected 30,000 young and strong men to join the army, calling it "Qingzhou Army". At this point, there was no more Cao Cao's opponent in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao naturally became the new overlord of Yanzhou.
Just as Cao Cao was busy sorting out all matters in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao, who was far away in the Bohai Sea of Jizhou, also had the idea of replacing Han Fu.
Bohai County, Nanpi County.
Yuan Shao hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.
Yuan Shao said bitterly: "Yang Bowen has taken over the northern part of Bingzhou. After the autumn harvest, no one in Bingzhou will be able to stop his troops; Cao Mengde has also taken over Yanzhou. Everyone, what should our army do?"
Yuan Shao originally wanted to take the opportunity to take over Jizhou, but for some reason, Han Fu seemed to know something and was guarding him everywhere, leaving him with no chance to take advantage of it. At this time, he heard that the two former friends were all making great strides on their respective territories, which made Yuan Shao a little anxious, so he summoned his subordinates to discuss it.
Xu You said, "Lord, Han Fu is just a mediocre person, and you can destroy it by a blink of an eye!"
Yuan Shao immediately asked, "Ziyuan's plan is coming out?"
Xu You smiled and said, "There is Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, who is like a wolf or a tiger. His wolf army is even more elite in a hundred battles. Although Jizhou is known as one million soldiers, how can he be invincible if he is a mediocre leader like Han Fu? The lord can send a letter to Gongsun Zan to send troops to Jizhou and attack Jizhou with our army. After the matter is done, he can only ask him to have several cities in the north of Jizhou."
Zheng Ji agreed: "Ziyuan said it is right. Han Fu cannot enter the grand ceremony. When Gongsun Zan's army moves, if there is a little defeat in one or two battles, Han Fu will be panicked. We will take the opportunity to send eloquent people to explain their interests to him, and we are not afraid that he will not let him go out of Jizhou."
Yuan Shao said hesitantly: "Han Fu has great talents like Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Ju Su and Tian Feng. How could they not see the flaws in this?"
Xu You smiled and said, "Han Fu has good talents but doesn't know how to use them. If you only have great talents to help you, you can't help you."
Xin Ping said, "Han Fu is an old official of the Yuan family. The lord is better than Han Fu in terms of talent, virtue, martial arts, etc. How could he not give in?"
Xinpi, Guo Tu and others also expressed their opinions to agree with Xu You's plan.
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Then follow Ziyuan's plan!"
A few days later, after receiving a letter from Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.
When Gongsun Zan gave the letter in his hand to circulate it, he said, "Yuan Benchu invited me to send troops to Jizhou together. After the matter is done, I promised me Zhongshan and Changshan counties to thank me. What do you think?"
Tian Yu frowned and said, "Han Fu is rich and famous in Jizhou. If the lord rashly sends troops, it will not win the hearts of the people. Yu does not agree to send troops."
Gongsun Fan said, "I don't agree with this statement from the country. Now that the Han Dynasty is majestic, heroes from all over the country are busy robbing land and plundering people. Jizhou is the rich land of my great Han Dynasty. Only Zhongshan and Changshan counties can surpass all the counties and counties in Youzhou. In such a rich land, our army can just recruit soldiers and horses, and wait for the future to plan for Youzhou."
Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "I also agree with sending troops. Han Fu is just a dog that is defending. What's the point? Our army can plan for Jizhou. As for the infamy, it's just about to push Yuan Shao."
Tian Yu looked heavy and said, "Lord, if Yuan Shao fails to fulfill his promise after the matter is completed, will our army be useless? It's a waste of work."
Gongsun Zan sneered: "If Yuan Benchu dares not fulfill his promise, then Ben will clean up with him."
Tian Yu sighed and then said, "Aren't the messenger Yuan Shao still waiting in the side hall? Why don't you call me and ask?"
Gongsun Zan still valued Tian Yu's talent, so he ordered someone to call Xu You here.
After Xu You arrived, he smiled directly at Gongsun Zan and said, "Can General Gongsun send troops?"
During the rebellion against Dong, Gongsun Zan also met Xu You several times, and asked: "Ziyuan, Han Fu is a wise man in Jizhou. If I send troops rashly, I may be criticized by the people in the world!"
Xu You glanced at Tian Yu quietly and replied: "Now the Han Dynasty is in a state of turmoil. It is the time when our generation has made great achievements. How could those criticisms of the literary and mao-school criticism make General Gongsun lose a hair?"
Gongsun Zan glanced at Tian Yu. After seeing this, Tian Yu immediately spoke out: "Our army has no orders for the imperial court, so we dare not act rashly. This time, it may be a waste of time."
Xu You smiled and said, "The people of Zhongshan Country and Changshan County are rich and the people are strong. This is an excellent foundation. This time, I will be in front of you, so how can I refuse each other?"
Tian Yu said calmly: "My lord made great achievements in Youzhou back then. When my lord was still there, the people of Wuhuan from the north did not dare to go south to herd horses, but since Liu Yu came, he advocated a policy of gentleness against foreign races and made things difficult for our lord everywhere."
Xu You raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that Tian Yu is not a good-looking lamp. He said, "Since ancient times, he has been 'not my race, and his heart will be different.' Isn't it like losing the Wu Emperor? I also agree with General Gongsun's approach. After You return, I will definitely convince my lord to form an alliance with General Gongsun. Since Liu Yu made trouble for General Gongsun, my lord and General Gongsun will go to Liu Yu to ask for an explanation. I wonder what the country wants to give in?"
Tian Yu nodded to Gongsun Zan. Seeing Tian Yu agreeing, Gongsun Zan said in a deep voice: "Since Yuan Benchu is interested in Jizhou and I have an old relationship with Benchu, how can I not help me? Ziyuan went back to inform Benchu that Japan would personally lead the army to the Zhongshan Kingdom of Jizhou."
Seeing that Gongsun Zan agreed, Xu You immediately said happily: "It is our army's blessing to be able to form an alliance with General Gongsun."
After Xu You left Youbeiping and returned to Bohai County, he immediately reported the matter to Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately asked with a smile: "According to what Ziyuan said, then Tian Guorang has great talents?"
Xu You nodded and said, "This is the only person under Gongsun Zan's command."
Yuan Shao nodded and asked, "In my opinion, when will Gongsun Zan send troops?"
Xu You replied: "Gongsun Zan is impatient and irritable. Since he agreed, news will come from Zhongshan Country within a few days."
The excitement in Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, and he smiled at Xu You, "That's great. It just so happened that an old friend in Ziyuan came here. If this person came out to lobby Han Fu, he would definitely be sure to win!"
Xu You was stunned and asked, "Who is the lord talking about?"
Yuan Shao immediately smiled at the back of the screen and said, "Old friend is back, why don't you come out to see me?"
