Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 260 Finalizing the dispatch of troops
Gongsun Zan is a battle-tested general, he understands military tactics, but he really doesn't understand the human heart as deeply as Liu Yu.People in the army don't have so many fancy heads, so Gongsun Zan thinks things are not that complicated.

Gongsun Zan's scheming is not deep, which can be clearly seen.Since Gongsun Zan was tricked by Liu Bei to help Liu Bei again and again, he was tricked by Liu Bei not to mention a lot of soldiers, and he was also tricked away by Zhao Yun, the only one under Gongsun Zan who could make a move.From these things, it can be seen that this Gongsun Zan is not very smart.

"King Yan, Cao is trying to hide this man's tricks. These five thousand white horses are a bait he gave you. He gave you two thousand horses first to attract you to send troops. If you send troops, you will fall into Cao's hands." It's a trick to hide."

"King Yan, let's take a look at the current situation in Wei. Now it is obvious that this Cao is only fighting Ma Teng. Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have made moves, they have not fought."

"At this time, if you send troops to fight Yuan Shao first. Yuan Shao is a man who wants to save face. At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to fight us in Youzhou first, and then fight Cao Cao. In this way, you will take the thunder for Cao Cao." Liu Yu shared the power of this with Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan just said that Liu Bei's scheming is not as deep as Cao Cao's.But he is not a fool. After Liu Yu's analysis, he also understood that what Liu Yu said was very reasonable.

If he really sent troops regardless, he would really have taken the thunder for Cao Cao.Moreover, it was Yuan Shao, the biggest man, who replaced Cao Cao.

Gongsun Zan thought to himself, everyone in the world said that Cao was hiding and cunning, and it was true.

Although he understood this point, the attraction of these five thousand white horses to Gongsun Zan was not small. If he did not send troops, the five thousand white horses would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan was somewhat unsure about paying attention, and he asked Liu Yu, "What should I do, Lord Liu, please pay attention."

As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and foxes are still old and slippery.Liu Yu is an old boy, he is a complete old fox.

"We can send troops, but we must not send troops first."

"His Royal Highness, let's do this. Let's accept the two thousand horses Cao Cao sent, and then tell Chen Qun that when Yuan Shao and King Wei fight, we will attack Yuan Shao from the rear and follow the example of the siege of Wei and rescue of Zhao in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods." .”

"If the king of Wei agrees, we will control them to take three thousand horses when we send troops. If the king of Wei disagrees, we will not return the two thousand horses. At this time, Cao Cao is full of enemies. If we don't return the thousand horses, I don't think Cao Cao will dare to say anything." Liu Yu said to Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Zan heard Liu Yu's attention, he thought to himself, this attention is good.If it is done, there is no need to take risks, and the five thousand horses will be in hand.Even if it doesn't work out, it means they have prostituted two thousand horses for nothing.

"Okay, pay attention to this, let's do it like this," Gongsun Zan said.

"King Yan, remember this must be the case. We can take advantage of the chaos to occupy Yuan Shao's territory by sending troops later, and we can also take the opportunity to attract refugees to our Youzhou."

"The advantage of sending troops later is ours. If we send troops first, we will be the ones who will contribute at that time, and Cao Cao will be the one who will benefit from this." Liu Yu Zaisan urged.

Liu Yu felt that if Gongsun Zan could listen to what he said and act.Then this battle is not impossible. Youzhou is too poor, and the people are few. In some places, there is not even a single family.

These years, in order to supplement the population of Youzhou.Liu Yu even attracted foreigners from the prairie to settle in Youzhou, but even so, it did not increase the population of Youzhou.Liu Yu knew very well that if you want Youzhou to develop, you must first have more entrances to Youzhou.

If this battle can bring hundreds of thousands or millions of people to Youzhou, it will be worth fighting.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, I know, I know." Gongsun Zan said with a smile.

Today, it can be said that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had the happiest day together, and it was also the first time that Gongsun Zan felt that Liu Yu was really a good helper when he didn't make things difficult for him.

"Second brother, don't tell me, this Liu Yu is really capable." After leaving the state pastoral mansion, Gongsun Zan said to his second brother, Gongsun Fan.

"Brother, thanks to you taking the title of King Yan, you can overwhelm this Liu Yu. Otherwise, with this old boy's means, we might have to be suppressed by him." Gongsun Fan said.

A few years ago, although Gongsun Zan held military power.But all the supplies of food, grass and armaments depended on Liu Yu. In those years, Gongsun Zan could be said to have been very aggrieved, and any military action had to be approved by Liu Yu.But Gongsun Zan couldn't do anything that Liu Yu disagreed with.

"Ha ha!"

"As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Now we are the King of Yan, and no matter how powerful he is, Liu Yu has to serve us." Gongsun Zan laughed loudly.

With Liu Yu's attention, Gongsun Zan had a solid foundation in his mind.After returning to his hometown of Beiping, Gongsun Zan immediately set up a banquet in Yan Wang's mansion to entertain Chen Qun.

At the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.Gongsun Zan raised his wine glass and said to Chen Qun, "Mr. Chen, I have accepted these two thousand horses, and I have also agreed to send troops."

After hearing this, Chen Qun was overjoyed.Since Gongsun Zan agreed to send troops, his mission was considered complete.

Chen Qun suppressed the joy on his face, and asked Gongsun Zan, "Then I don't know when King Yan will send troops."

"When will the troops be dispatched?" Gongsun Zan took a sip of his drink, and then said slowly, "When Yuan Shao dispatches troops to attack the King of Wei, it will be the time when this King will attack the city of Ye."

Yecheng is Yuan Shao's lair, and it is in the center of Yuan Shao's territory.This direct attack on Yecheng was naturally criticized by Gongsun Zan bragging.

However, bragging goes to bragging.The meaning of Gongsun Zan's words also showed an attitude.I, Gongsun Zan, can send troops, but it is impossible for you to use me as a spearman.

Chen Qun is a smart person, as soon as Gongsun Zan said this, Chen Qun immediately understood.From the looks of it, Gongsun Zan had received advice from an expert.Now, it is obviously impossible for him to send troops first to attract Yuan Shao's firepower.

Of course, when Chen Qun came, Guo Jia had already explained everything.The firepower that can let Gongsun Zan send troops first and attract Yuan Shao is the best.If Gongsun Zan was unwilling to send troops first, then as long as Gongsun Zan was willing to stab Yuan Shao in the back at a critical moment, that would be acceptable.

At this time, Cao Cao was in a state of being attacked from both sides, and he was naturally at a disadvantage when negotiating, because others could delay it, but Cao Cao could not.Therefore, Chen Qun did not bargain, since Gongsun Zan was willing to send troops, so it was settled.
