Chapter 219 Entering the War in the Northern Central Plains
Youzhou Yijing.

Since Gongsun Zan was trapped in Yijing, he became more and more arrogant. He placed his wife and daughter in the main city, removed all his confidants, and ordered men over seven years old not to enter. Shi Chen hardly saw Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan alienated the guests and rejected the civil and military ministers, so that he didn't have a single confidant around him, and the advisers and generals were gradually alienated.Later, Yuan Shaojun attacked Gaoyang County near Yijing, and the prefect of Gaoyang County asked for help.

But Gongsun Zan said: "Save one person, and then everyone will only wait for the rescue and will not fight hard." One sentence overruled the decision to rescue.

In the end, the prefect of Gaoyang County died in a fierce battle, and all the generals under his command were disappointed.

Although most people are full of dissatisfaction with Gongsun Zan, there are still a few people who are still full of loyalty to Gongsun Zan, including Guan Jing from Taiyuan, and Tian Yu from Yuyang Yongnu.

In order for Gongsun Zan to get rid of the current predicament, Tian Yu went to Liaodong alone, asked Liaodong Hou and Pingzhou Mugong Sundu to send troops to rescue, and persuaded him to attack Yuan together.

Gongsun Du was ambitious. When he was the prefect of Liaodong, he implemented severe punishments and laws, cracked down on powerful forces, and made the administration smooth and his wings gradually flourished.In the first year of Chuping, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was in chaos in the Central Plains, and the princes from all over the country had no time to look east.

Gongsun Du judged the situation and took the opportunity to establish himself as Liaodong Marquis and Pingzhou Mu.Afterwards, they attacked Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and took the Shandong Peninsula in the south to expand the territory, with brilliant achievements.Later, he recruited talents, set up museums and opened schools, recruited refugees widely, and traveled abroad with prestige, as if he was the king of Liaodong.

Seeing Tian Yu coming to ask for help, he immediately set out to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world.This idea coincides with Tian Yu's. One is to attack Yuan Shao and rescue Gongsun Zan.One is to use Gongsun Zan to deal with Yuan Shao.

A contract was drawn up in a short time.

When Gongsun Zan learned that he had foreign aid, his lost arrogance returned to him, and he planned to fight Yuan Shao to the death. He recruited his confidants Guan Jing and Tian Yu to discuss a counterattack strategy.

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and said, "Guorang has done a great job in persuading Gongsundu this time. Now that our army has reinforcements, why should we be afraid of Yuan Shao'er?" how?"

Guan Jing remonstrated: "My lord, the morale of our army is not stable now. All of them are rebellious and have no strength to fight anymore. The reason why they can stick to it is because they cherish their hometown. If the general can stick to it for a long time As soon as the reinforcements arrive, Yuan Shao will naturally retreat. If the general attacks rashly at this time, the army will lose its rear town. If the enemy finds out, Yi Jing's fall will be imminent. The general loses his foundation and lives in the wilderness. How can he achieve his career at that time?"

Gongsun Zan nodded slightly.

Tian Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Commander Shi's words are inappropriate. It is precisely because the morale of our army is low and the soldiers are eccentric. It is even more necessary for a victory to strengthen the morale of the army. Only victory can rekindle the fighting spirit of the generals. Our army It has been defending for a year, and Yuan Shaojun must have been extremely lax in his defenses. At this moment, the night attack has a miraculous effect, and the subordinate officials think it is feasible."

Gongsun Zan was still very talented in fighting. After weighing the pros and cons, he said in a loud voice: "Send the order, the whole army is on standby, and the whole army will gather at the school ground in the early morning of tonight."

******************
Yuan Shao's army camp.

Yuan Shao's army village is located on a plain fifty miles south of Yijing, where you can look around at a glance and have plenty of water, making it an excellent place to settle down.

A scribe, about 40 years old, with pure eyes and a kind face, walked briskly towards the south.The guards around would salute when they saw him, which shows that this person's identity has a very high status in Yuan Shao's army.

Came to a military tent to wait for the notification.A call came from inside: "It's Yuan Hao, come in quickly."

The scribes with kind faces turned out to be Yuan Shao's confidants Tian Feng and Tian Yuanhao.

Tian Feng lifted the canvas and walked in, found a place to sit down at random, and asked: "Zezhu, what did you find?"

For Tian Feng's casualness, Ju Shou has long taken it for granted, knowing that his nature is like this, so he didn't think it was disobedient, took out a secret letter from the desk, handed it to Tian Feng, and said: "Just take a look."

Tian Feng took the letter, looked at it casually, read part of the letter, looked at Jushou in surprise, and read it seriously from the beginning.

"What do you think of this?" Ju Shou asked seriously.

"Great opportunity!" Tian Feng pointed to the letter and said: "If it is true what Chen Yunxin said, the chances of defeating Sun Can and saving the royal family will increase a lot in the future. This move is really wonderful!"

Hearing Tian Feng's words, a strange brilliance flashed in Jushou's eyes, and when Tian Feng finished speaking, he slapped his thigh and sighed: "The whole army, only you and I can see through the real powerful enemy of our lord, which is from the south. Sun Can! It's a pity that every time I explain to the lord, he thinks I'm making a fuss out of a molehill, and he doesn't want to devote all my strength to deal with Sun Can. Now that Sun Can has formed an alliance with the surrounding princes and is fully developing his strength, soon, he will inevitably become a serious threat to our army .”

"No one has faults, there is no perfect person in the world. Although the lord has some faults, he can still recruit talents and listen to advice. As long as you and I are united, with the current strength of the lord, there is no difficulty in assisting the lord to rule the world. "Tian Feng sighed slightly, Jushou had a straightforward personality, although he was devoted to Yuan Shao, but he was quite critical of Yuan Shao's frequent disapproval of his own kind words.

Especially a few years ago, Yuan Shao rejected Jushou's strategy of "welcoming the emperor and ordering the princes", and missed a good opportunity to control the righteousness. Jushou, heartbroken, scolded Yuan Shao as "aspirations are big and wisdom is small".

Although Yuan Shao's good face did not punish him, he isolated him and ignored his schemes.

Later, under Tian Feng's planning, Yuan Shao was allowed to use Jushou again.

Ju Shou was also angry at the time, and his loyalty to Yuan Shao has not changed. After being reused, he still wholeheartedly advises Yuan Shao.Relying on his outstanding talent and making outstanding achievements repeatedly, he regained Yuan Shao's love.

Seeing that Jushou brought up the past again, Tian Feng thought that he was still fussing about it, so he hurriedly excused Yuan Shao.

Jushou understood what Tian Feng meant, and said with a smile: "I understand, but it's just a pity. If the lord would have listened to my advice, Cao Cao would never have been able to develop. It is easy for our army to enter the Central Plains, unlike today, where we have to compete with Cao Cao Compete, fight a hard battle before you can formally confront Sun Can."

After a pause, he continued: "Okay... let's not talk about it, it's useless to regret things in the past, and we can't look back. You and I should discuss this matter with Chen Yun. Now Gongsun Zan is already a turtle in a urn, a bird in a cage, and can't reach it." How long has it been. Cao Cao is out of the current situation and is between the two powers, unable to continue to grow. Although he has the talent to fight against our lord, he has no strength to fight against our lord. Only Sun Can, who has gathered strength, is the biggest opponent of our army."

Jushou pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said, "Chen Yun is a distant relative of the professor, and his wife has a cousin relationship with my wife. He came to me a few years ago, intending to use his relationship to make him attach to the lord and become a A merchant under the lord's command.

At that time, I was finishing reviewing the news in Jingzhou, and found a loophole in Sun Canjun's politics in Jingzhou.So he proposed to the lord that Chen Yun should sneak into Jingzhou to carry out internal sabotage.

You also know that the protagonist has a deep hatred with Sun Can. Although he doesn't think that Sun Can has the strength to teach him better, he is happy to see Sun Can be at a loss because of his relationship.Seeing that Chen Yun could cause trouble for Sun Can, he immediately agreed to my request.

In order to achieve miraculous results, I asked him to keep his work low and be a high-profile person.Getting acquainted with grain merchants and drug dealers everywhere will be helpful for our army to go south in the future.However, it happened now.It's really weird, I always feel that there are some things here that we haven't calculated.

It's not that I'm suspicious, but that I don't trust Chen Yun.This person is only interested in profit and has a bad style of work.Apparently he didn't do what I asked.Sun Can discovered his existence. "

Tian Feng nodded silently, he didn't dare to underestimate Sun Can.Since Sun Can made his debut, what he has done is enough to make the heroes of the world look sideways.They, Yuan Shaojun, took the initiative from the very beginning, were strong, and often bullied the small with the big.But Sun Can grew up from adversity, and he conquered more with less several times.Starting from a small Runan, it has been able to defeat powerful enemies and develop to the present state.This record is absolutely unattainable.

The most important thing is that Sun Can is almost a perfect man. During the years of fighting, he has not made a single mistake, which really made them helpless and had to guard against it.

In fact, they all overestimated Sun Can.It is impossible for a perfect person to exist in this world, and the reason why they could not discover Sun Can's faults was all because Sun Can was good at accepting advice.

If the method Sun Can came up with himself was possible, he would say it without any pretentiousness, let the soldiers under his command study it together, learn from each other's strengths, and then implement it.With geniuses like Liu Hua, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu polishing his strategies, he naturally wouldn't make any big mistakes or obvious loopholes.

Tian Feng thought about it for a while, and said: "I think Zezhu's consideration is a bit redundant, Sun Can is extraordinary. He really has the talent of a hero, and the most taboo thing for a hero is that someone can shake his position. Back then, the Zhen family was When he was in Hebei, the lord had doubts and love for them.

Sun Can is the overlord of Jinghuai, and the Zhen family controls half of Jinghuai's business.Sun Can would naturally reject the Zhen family, and supporting one person to suppress the Zhen family was the brilliance of a generation of overlords.Only a balance can prevent the Zhen family from going big blindly.

And Jingzhou is a place full of aristocratic families, if any one is supported, it may affect the interests of all the aristocratic families in Jingzhou and cause even greater troubles.

In this way, outsiders are the best candidates.And Chen Yun is a great merchant in Guanzhong.With nothing to do with Jingzhou, he is the best candidate to deal with the Zhen family.

Thinking about it this way, Sun Can's behavior was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. "

"That's true. I thought about this before. I just thought that God was so kind to us and gave us such a big gift. I dare not accept this gift. I always feel that the world is not so good." things." Ju Shou said with a smile.

Tian Feng also smiled, "But when this good thing happens, we have to accept it."

"Let's go, let's go to see the lord together and ask him to approve." Jushou also made up his mind at this time.
