People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 315

Hebei, Jizhou!
Because Gongsun Zan was the main attacker and Yuan Shao was the main defender, the wars all took place in the northern part of Jizhou. In Bohai County, Hejian Country, and Zhongshan Country, especially these three places, the people were displaced, the crops failed, and the towns and villages were dilapidated.

This made Yuan Shao, one head and two elders, gritted his teeth with hatred for Gongsun Zan. No matter how rich Jizhou was, it couldn't stand such abuse.

Moreover, he is still Jizhou Mu. If things go on like this, he will be alienated from powerful families and ordinary people. Even if he is a role model for four generations and three generations, his reputation will gradually be exhausted.

Last year, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and the losses caused to him were all recovered after Gongsun Zan became the shepherd of Youzhou, even better than before.

Facing the aggressive Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao also understood that he couldn't beat him head-on, so he found his confidant Xu You again, held his hands and said:
"Ziyuan, Gongsun Zan is now in great danger, when will your plan take effect, and when will Wuhuan rebel?"

When Xu You heard this, he said with a firm face:

"Don't worry, general, the autumn is tall and the horse is fat, Wuhuan will definitely rebel. Now that Gongsun Zan is the shepherd of Youzhou, it is also not a good thing for them. Only Liu Yu will endure them and let them go. Gongsun Zan has been chasing them and shouting to kill them!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao was slightly relieved. Now his stupid younger brother Yuan Shu has already crossed the prefectures and counties, occupying a part of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou. His power and prestige are not small compared to himself.

He had to defeat Gongsun Zan, seize Youzhou, and occupy the whole of Hebei in order to continue to overwhelm Yuan Shu.

At the same time, Liaoxi, Liucheng!

Lord Wuhuan of the three counties, Tadun, gathered the other Lords of Wuhuan, Su Puyan, Wuyan, Lou Ban, and [-] Wuhuan cavalry, planning to rebel against Gongsun Zan.

In the past, when Liu Yu was still a shepherd in Youzhou, he was still very kind to Wuhuan, and he was rewarded from time to time, and he started to trade with each other.

It really made them live a comfortable life, especially three years ago, after the death of Qiu Liju, the previous Wuhuan lord, even though the young and strong Cong Zitadun succeeded in assuming the position, but in the process, there were still some twists and turns.

If Liu Yu hadn't been protecting them, Gongsun Zan would have planned to send troops, but now that Liu Yu had been transferred away, Gongsun Zan, who was in charge, made all Wuhuan departments tremble with fear.

Just some time ago, Yuan Shao sent people to persuade them to gather troops to rebel while Gongsun Zan led the troops southward.

Ta Dun didn't agree, but the seeds of rebellion had already been planted in his heart, and he planned to formally raise his troops now that he was in full swing.

If he succeeds, he will kill Gongsun Zan, eliminate this serious trouble, and allow himself to establish authority;
No, looting the people of a few big counties, they can live comfortably this winter.

Then, at the order of Ta Dun, [-] Wuhuan cavalry marched southward.

Ten days later, Jizhou, Hejian, and Yixian!
When Gongsun Zan heard the news, he flew into a rage, kicked over the table in front of him, looked left and right and said sharply:

"Little Wuhuan dares to violate the border. Now that I am the shepherd of Youzhou, I will never let these barbarians of other races run rampant. Call troops and horses and return to Youzhou!"

Looking at each other left and right, finally his brother Gongsun Fan said:

"General, retreating at this time will waste all previous efforts. It is exactly what Yuan Shao wants. It is better for the general to sit in Yi County. The general is willing to bring troops back to help!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head and said:
"I have only been the State Shepherd for only one year, and Wuhuan dares to make trouble. If I don't go back in person and let them come and go freely, my face and my majesty will be trampled upon..."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Zan looked to the left and right, his eyes swept around, and then said in a deep voice:

"I will lead the main cavalry back to the division, Gongsun Fan, you lead the infantry to stay in Yi County and attack Yuan Shao with Tian Kai from Qingzhou. I want to fight Yuan Shao, and I want to fight Wuhuan!"

Gongsun Fan solemnly replied:
"Follow the order!"

Soon, Gongsun Zan called back [-] cavalry, leaving [-] infantry to continue to occupy some counties and counties in Jizhou, and led the cavalry back to the division.

After Yuan Shao heard the news, he was also completely relieved. Even if there was no white horse righteous follower, Gongsun Zan still had a large number of cavalry, which made him passive in the field battle.

Thinking of this, he could only look around helplessly and said:

"Youzhou Tuqi is unparalleled in the world. As long as Gongsun Zan still has cavalry in hand, it will be difficult for me to completely defeat him. What can I do?"

Xu You thought for a while, then bowed his hands and said:

"Duke Ming, there are many Wuhuan tribes in Dai County and Shanggu County in Youzhou. If Duke Ming can pay a lot of money, maybe he can lure some Wuhuan knights to bring their own horses to join them."

After Xu You finished speaking, the judge also said:
"The three states in the north of the Great Han Dynasty are Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan has Youzhou. Ming Gong can find a way to occupy Bingzhou. There are many athletes in Bingzhou. He even went north through Bingzhou to exchange horses with Xianbei people."

Because of Gongsun Zan's pressure, Yuan Shao urgently needs a cavalry, so he nodded and said:

"Jizhou is engaged in the edict. I remember that he is from Youzhou. He is responsible for going to Youzhou to buy Wuhuan knights. For a Wuhuan knight, I will give ten gold as funds to settle down. From now on, all food, clothing, housing and transportation will be paid from the state..."

"Let the high-ranking officer go to Bingzhou again. He is my nephew. Let him go secretly. While contacting the local forces, he recruits Bingzhou athletes. Bingzhou has Xu Rong's garrison. He is a general under the command of Li Thief. Now I am fighting Gongsun Zan. It is not easy to seize Bingzhou. First develop one or two internal support, and then contact the Huns or Xianbei. Responsible!"

Yuan Shao still had the idea of ​​merging states.

……

Xuzhou, Donghai, Tan County!

Ten miles outside the city, in the barracks!
Facing the envoy of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao was still very respectful, but the envoy of the Son of Heaven who came from afar brought him bad news.

The imperial court asked him to withdraw his troops immediately. He died of his father and his whole family. Although he deserves sympathy, but he massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, which is also a heinous crime.

Cao Cao was very unwilling, but firstly, Tan County could not be attacked for a long time (thanks to him having slaughtered the city and the village), secondly, he was worried that Li Yao sent troops to steal his Yanzhou, and thirdly, he could not openly disobey the will of the emperor.

In the end, he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops, and he hated in his heart. He was only one step away from capturing Xuzhou. Taking Yanzhou and Xuzhou as the foundation, and then capturing Yuzhou and Qingzhou, he would be able to dominate the Central Plains.

After Cao Cao left, Tao Qian and Liu Bei finally met. Tao Qian was very grateful to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei bid farewell to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian tried to persuade him to stay, but Liu Bei could only accept the kindness...

　Forget it, instead of worrying about how the Kwantung princes will react, it is better to think about how to continue to torment them. After all, the protagonist occupies the court, and he already has the righteousness in his hands, so he can make full use of it...
