Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 345 Gongsun Zan Attacks Jizhou

It is said that Gongsun Zan heard that Yuan Shao took Jizhou without a single soldier. Only then did he realize that he was just fooled by Yuan Shao and played a fool, so he sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao , to ask for part of the Jizhou land that Yuan Shao had promised to Gongsun Zan.

"Yuan Gong, in the past you sent a book to my elder brother and agreed to attack Jizhou, but now Yuan Gong has taken Jizhou by himself. How can Yuan Gong win the trust of the world by doing this?" Said.

"Hmph, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Beiping, sent troops to drive away Shangguan Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yan without authorization. This is treason, and he dared to send people to my place to make noise? Besides, I was in Jizhou, and I was invited by the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu. The governor of Han abandoned Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was thinking of the people of Jizhou, so he accepted the affairs of Jizhou. What I did was to imitate the ancient sages, why not?" Looking at Gongsun Yue in front of him, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, not caring Said.

"Hehe, what the staff said is really sweet. My brother doesn't want to pursue how Yuan Gong obtained Jizhou. My brother sent me here just to ask Yuan Gong how he promised to share Jizhou. Promise?" Looking at Yuan Shao in front of him, Gongsun Yue sneered again and again, and went straight to the point and asked Yuan Shao to give him part of the territory of Jizhou.

"Hmph, Gongsun Zan is just a prefect, and he dared to take care of our Jizhou affairs. Could it be that Gongsun Zan is going to rebel? To be honest, I have already reported to His Majesty to be the shepherd of Jizhou. I think the imperial decree will arrive soon. Still Please tell Gongsun Zan after you go back, let him give up his heart, stay in Youzhou well, and don’t make fun of yourself.” Now that Yuan Shao has acquired Jizhou and forced Han Fu away, he will still care about Gongsun Zan, in Yuan Shao’s view, As long as he doesn't trouble Gongsun Zan himself, it's already Gongsun Zan's luck, who is willing to cede land to Gongsun Zan.

"Does Yuan Gong really want to go to war with my brother?" Hearing that Yuan Shao had no intention of giving in at all, that he was unwilling to fulfill the promise he made that day, and didn't even have a good word, Gongsun Yue became angry.

"Oh, let's go to war? I just want to try Gongsun Zan's methods, so I'll give Gongsun Zan a reason to go to war now." Hearing Gongsun Yue's words, Yuan Shaoyin smiled tentatively, and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Come here!" , took Gongsun Yue down and beheaded, returned the head to Gongsun Zan, and told him that I was waiting for him in Jizhou."

Since Yuan Shao won Jizhou, it was doomed that Yuan Shao's future path was to unify Hebei, and Gongsun Zan was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle blocking Yuan Shao's path. In this way, Yuan Shao did not need to be polite to Gongsun Zan when the time came, because Hebei only can have a master.

"Why should Yuan Gong do this? Please Yuan Gong think twice." Seeing Yuan Shao showing a ferocious face and wanting to kill himself, Gongsun Yue was panicked at this time, and they thought that Yuan Shao would turn his back on what Yuan Shao said. The influence of people is completely different, so that Gongsun Yue panicked for a while.

"Yuan Gong, it is unreasonable for Yuan Gong to kill Gongsun Yue when the two countries exchange troops. It is unreasonable for Yuan Gong to kill Gongsun Yue. People in the world will doubt Yuan Gong's tolerance. I also ask Yuan Gong to let Gong Sunyue go back. The two armies will fight again soon." At this time. A scribe beside Yuan Shao stood up, bowed to Yuan Shao and said, this person is none other than Tian Feng.

"Mr. Tian, ​​why did you say that? Gongsun Yue is not only Gongsun Zan's brother, but also a rare general in Gongsun Zan's army. Since we want to fight Gongsun Zan, we should cut off his minions first, so as to be more beneficial to our army. Fighting according to Mr. Tian's words, wouldn't it be a delay to the military aircraft." Just after Tian Feng finished speaking, Guo Tu on the other side stood up and objected.Unlike Tian Feng, Guo Tu believes that any means can be used to achieve the goal. Since he wants to fight Gongsun Zan, he must use all means to weaken Gongsun Zan's strength.

"Don't talk about it, you two. I have my own decision. This Gongsun Yue dared to shout in front of me. It is an unforgivable crime. I should kill him for a reason." Yuan Shao waved his hand, and the guards in front of the palace had Gongsun Yue After pushing it out, a bloody forest's head was brought up not long after, it was Gongsun Yue's head.

"What? That thief Yuan Shao actually killed my younger brother?" Hearing the narration of the people brought back by Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zan was furious. I can't believe why Yuan Shao would be so cruel to kill his younger brother.

"My lord, you must avenge General Gongsun Yue. He died so badly. The head of General Gongsun Yue is still hanging on the head of Xindu City." The few people who went with Gongsun Yue are now lying on the ground The ground cried to Gongsun Zan.

"Hmph, my brother's head is in a different place and he was murdered by Yuan Shao. Why did you get away safely? Could it be that you have surrendered to Yuan Shao?" Seeing the people kowtowing in front of him, Gongsun Zan shouted angrily.

"General Mingchao, we definitely did not surrender to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao wanted us to send a message to the general, so the lives of the villains were spared, and the general asked the general to spare the little ones for the sake of our loyalty." Let's go." Seeing Gongsun Zan so angry, several people were silent and hurriedly begged Gongsun Zan for mercy.

"Hmph, my younger brother is already dead, so what's the use of keeping you? Someone, drag me out and cut him off." At this time, Gongsun Zan only felt that there was an unknown fire in his heart that was difficult to vent, so how could he let it go for a while? People, Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zan's younger brother, so Gongsun Zan naturally couldn't do anything to Yuan Shao. Did Yuan Shao send envoys to come? Even if Gongsun Zan wanted to find someone to vent his anger, there was no one to find. It became the best tool for Gongsun Zan to vent his anger. Who asked them to speak for Yuan Shao and got involved with Yuan Shao.

"Brother, Yuan Shao's traitor is so rampant that he dared to kill my second brother. If we can't avenge our second brother, how can we stand between heaven and earth?" Seeing Gongsun Zan beheading several people, Gongsun Fan still felt his anger hard to dissipate. From Gongsun Fan's point of view, Yuan Shao had to kill Yuan Shao to settle this account.

"Third brother, don't worry. Yuan Shao betrayed his promise and killed my second brother. I will never die with him. You immediately go down and send an order to the three armies. We will dispatch troops tomorrow to fight Yuan Shao." Hearing Gongsun Fan's words, it hit Gongsun Zan's heart. Take it easy, Gongsun Zan ordered without hesitation.

"Wait a minute, the reason why General Yuan Shao was confident and killed the second general was because he wanted the general to send troops in anger. The general should think twice." Seeing that Gongsun Zan was getting angry, Yan Gang stepped forward and said.Originally, Yan Gang thought that killing those people just now would calm Gongsun Zan's anger a bit, but now it seems that Gongsun Zan's anger has not calmed down, so he immediately stopped him.

"Yan Gang, what are you talking about? Don't you need to avenge my second brother's revenge?" Hearing Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Fan said without a good face. From Gongsun Fan's point of view, his second brother was killed, and the whole army At this time, we should unite as one, this is the right way, it is abominable why this Yan Gang came out to speak against him.

"Yan Gang, just speak up if you have something to say." After Yan Gang disturbed him, Gongsun Zan's mood calmed down a little.Yan Gang has been with Gongsun Zan for many years, and has repeatedly made military exploits. Gongsun Zan knew that Yan Gang's words were not timid, and he must have something to say, so he asked without haste.

"General Yuan Shao is unwilling to give up Jizhou. It is also human nature. No one is willing to spit out the meat that must be swallowed in his mouth. It's just that his subordinates don't understand why Yuan Shao wants to kill the general. Although I am dull, I think this It must be Yuan Shao's plan to provoke the general. Of course, the ugliness of the second general must be reported, but the general must have a comprehensive consideration when sending troops, and he must not act with loyalty, let alone fight with anger." Yan Gang sorted out his thoughts a little said afterwards.

"Oh? Then you are talking about how we should fight this battle?" Hearing Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Zan also fell into deep thought. Gongsun Yue was killed by Yuan Shao. Although Gongsun Zan was very angry, but the anger returned to anger. The old man, Gongsun Zan has long been used to hiding his emotions, and any excessive emotions will not last long with Gongsun Zan, but now, hearing what Yan Gang said, Gongsun Zan has calmed down a lot.The deceased is dead, and the most important thing for Gongsun Zan now is not to avenge Gongsun Yue, but to use this matter to maximize his own interests. After thinking about this, Gongsun Zan slowly looked at Yan Gang and asked.

"General, Yuan Shao's acquisition of Jizhou is only a matter of these days. Although Yuan Shao used tricks to force Han Fu away, Han Fu's old subordinates may not really obey Yuan Shao. The general's marching into Jizhou is an opportunity to thank you. As long as the general can seize the opportunity properly, he will surely receive miraculous results." Yan Gang bowed his hands to Gongsun Zan before saying seriously.

"Hehehe, that's pretty good. Just as you said, we will send troops to Jizhou tomorrow, and at the same time order the county chiefs from all over the country to lead troops to help." Hearing Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Zan smiled knowingly. He understood very well, although what Yan Gang said was not clear, but Gongsun Zan had already heard Yan Gang's meaning and knew what to do.

"Brother, I would like to be the vanguard and set off to attack Jizhou first." Seeing that the soldiers and horses were about to set off tomorrow, Gongsun Fan quickly got up and said.As the third younger brother of Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan is very serious about avenging Gongsun Yue.

"Okay, you will lead [-] troops and set off early tomorrow morning to approach Xindu and open the way for our army." Gongsun Zan directly ordered without any resistance to Gongsun Fan's request.

"It's not good, it's not good, Yuan Gong, Gongsun Zan's 15 troops from Youzhou are coming straight to kill, we're afraid we won't be able to resist." Not long after Gongsun Zan raised his troops, Guo Tu got the specific details of Gongsun Zan's rise. After hearing the news, he hurriedly ran to Yuan Shao to report.
