Lu Dynasty

Chapter 303 Gongsun Zan

Yuan Shao was very depressed when he heard Han Fu's words. He originally wanted to threaten Zhen Yi and Zhang He with the Zhen family.But according to what Han Fu said, as long as he made any disharmonious actions towards the Zhen family, the Zhen family would immediately turn against him, and he would say goodbye to the newly occupied Yecheng.Although Yuan Shao was very upset, he also knew the power of these aristocratic families.

Yuan Shaoqiang smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate that Zhen Yi is such a traitor in the Zhen family. Since the current head of the Zhen family has not joined forces with Zhen Yi, I will not investigate the past. I just hope that you will work together to develop Jizhou together in the future!" "

The successor head of the Zhen family quickly nodded and said: "Naturally, I, Zhen Ping, will definitely serve the general well. I will donate 50 hu of military rations to the general first, to thank the general for not killing him!" Yuan Shao looked at this self-proclaimed 'gift' Hearing that he only donated 50 hu of military rations, I feel even more upset.He ignored the matter and brought his generals and Han Fu to Jizhou Governor's Mansion.

Yuan Shao felt a little relieved when he saw his subordinates gathered together.He appointed and removed the affairs of Jizhou, and asked his advisers: "Now that we have occupied Jizhou, what do you think we should do next?"

Guo Tu said: "My lord, since we have occupied Youzhou, the next step is to go to Qingzhou. The land in Qingzhou is fertile, and it can be said that it is a land without an owner. A few yellow scarves are under the vanguard of our army, and it is like destroying it!"

"Master Guo's words are wrong!" Feng Ji stood up and said, "Although Qingzhou is fertile, there are millions of yellow scarves. No matter how fast we clear it up, it will take a lot of time. If Gongsun Zan of Youzhou invades, what will we do?" What’s more, if we conquer Qingzhou, what will we do to support the millions of Yellow Turbans and the people of Qingzhou?”

"Gongsun Zan!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth in hatred when he heard Gongsun Zan's name.From Yuan Shao's point of view, if it weren't for Gongsun Zan's unwillingness to cooperate, why would it take him two years to fight Jizhou.Yuan Shao was already upset, but now it all exploded on Gongsun Zan, the unlucky kid.Yuan Shao said: "Needless to say, I decided to deal with Gongsun Zan first, and then seize Qingzhou!"

Feng Ji was overjoyed when he heard that Yuan Shao had adopted his opinion, and he said loudly to Yuan Shao: "My lord is holy!" After speaking, he gave Guo Tu a provocative look.Guo Tu is not a magnanimous person, he was already very upset when he saw Feng Ji's complacent appearance, and now Feng Ji dared to provoke himself, Guo Tu secretly said in his heart: Boy, don't be complacent, I will fight with you in the future up!You said that everyone under Yuan Shao's command is everyone!Before anything happened, he fought on his own.

Yuan Shao is going to attack Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, what is Gongsun Zan doing now?In fact, Gongsun Zan is also very depressed now. Since he came back from begging Dong, there are only less than three thousand of the eight thousand white horse righteousness left, so Gongsun Zan wants to expand the number.Since he wanted to expand, he had to notify his immediate superior, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.But Liu Yu had long been dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan's attitude towards foreign tribes. In Liu Yu's view, those foreign tribes could be influenced, but Gongsun Zan was blindly bloodthirsty and refused to change after repeated admonitions, so Liu Yu firmly opposed Gongsun Zan's expansion.

To be honest, Liu Yu is not only a good man, but also a politician.He was born in the royal family, and his status was nobler than Yuan Shao and others, but he did not rely on the blessings of his ancestors.After promoting filial piety, he started as a small official of household Cao, served as an internal government official, and was later recommended as Boping Order. Under his leadership, Boping was ruled by justice, noble and simple, with no thieves in the territory and no disasters. !There is also a legend that locusts once attacked a neighboring county bordering Boping, but the locusts flew away at the junction of Boping and neighboring counties, and did not enter Boping to find food.Due to his outstanding political achievements, Liu Yu Jigong was promoted to governor of Youzhou and minister of Ganling.

It is said that Dong Zhuo was so domineering, and he tried his best to win Liu Yu, a royal relative.And Yuan Shao even wanted to invite Liu Yu to come out to succeed him as the emperor when the princes were begging for Dong, and preside over the big event of begging for Dong.But Liu Yu sternly rejected Yuan Shao. He wanted to be loyal to the Han family and revive the Han Dynasty, so how could he agree to Yuan Shao's usurpation and enthronement.

Later, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent people to contact the princes to rescue him in Beijing, and Liu Yu was actually the first to respond.Unfortunately, he was delayed by Yuan Shao and Han Fu.Otherwise, the story of Cao coercing the emperor to order the princes may become Liu Yu's coercing the emperor to order the princes or Liu Yu helping the emperor to pacify the world!

Speaking of the feud between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, it's actually not a big deal.Liu Yu advocated probation and enlightenment on the issue of foreign races, but Gongsun Zan felt that people who are not of our own race must have different hearts, and these foreign races should be killed until they are afraid!It's really not a big deal, it's just a difference of political opinion.Even if good friends sometimes have different opinions, and couples sometimes grind their teeth and quarrel, even if their teeth and tongues collide, if Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu can sit down and talk calmly, one pretends to be red-faced and the other pretends to be white. Face, maybe the foreigners in Youzhou were integrated by the two of them at the end of Han Dynasty!It's a pity that Gongsun Zan is arrogant and self-willed, so the conflict between him and Liu Yu got out of hand.

When Yuan Shao was beating Han Fu, Gongsun Zan was also beating Liu Yu.Don't look at Liu Yu's brother who has no vision for war, but Wei You, his adviser, is not bad.In addition, when the foreigners heard that Liu Yu was beaten by Gongsun Zan, they all came to help Liu Yu.In terms of cavalry, Gongsun Zan's other troops really couldn't take advantage of it except Baima Yicong.

However, Gongsun Zan's military talent is much higher than that of Liu Yu, a politician.Moreover, Liu Yu is a man who loves the people and has too many worries when fighting.As the saying goes: Compassion does not command soldiers.He was talking about people like Liu Yu.Gongsun Zan defeated many with less, and finally captured Liu Yu in Juyong.

Originally, Gongsun Zan was very happy to have captured Liu Yu, and he hoped that Liu Yu would agree with him.But Liu Yu was a dead duck and his mouth was stubborn, so Gongsun Zan wanted to kill Liu Yu in a fit of anger.But Liu Yu was a high-ranking official and won the hearts of the people, so Gongsun Zan said hypocritically: "Yuan Shao and others once invited you to be the emperor, but you refused. If you really have the qualifications to be the emperor, you will be exposed to the sun like this. Heaven will definitely send heavy rain to help you!" Gongsun Zan tied Liu Yu to the school field.It was summer at that time, how could it rain!Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Yu who was half dead by the sun, and killed him very proudly.

Just because Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu was the beginning of his tragic fate and the countdown to the end of his life!Because of Liu Yu's death, the people of Youzhou began to use a policy of non-cooperation with Gongsun Zan.This caused Gongsun Zan to be unable to collect food and recruit soldiers in Youzhou.There were also some foreigners, in the name of avenging Liu Yu, who kept harassing Gongsun Zan, which annoyed him a lot.
