Liu Bei pondered again, and finally made a decision: "In this case, let's send someone to inquire secretly. Remember not to let other people know, especially Liu Jingzhou."
Although he didn¡¯t know whether the news was true or false, or whether there was any conspiracy in it, Liu Bei did not intend to share it with others, not even Liu Biao.
"I understand!" Sun Qian took the order.
The fourth year of Jian'an passed. In the fourth year of Jian'an, the princes were very peaceful. The biggest thing that happened during this year was the world's best martial arts competition held by Liu Zhe. This martial arts competition let the world know I learned how powerful Liu Zhe's talents are, and learned about Liu Zhe's strong strength from the side.
Therefore, the princes who are aspiring to the world are working hard to increase their own strength. Even if they cannot surpass Liu Zhe, they still have to close the gap in strength with Liu Zhe.
Therefore, even though Gongsun Zan's son was attacked and Liu Zhe continued to sow discord in the newspapers, there was only a gap between the princes and they did not take action. Everyone held back and did not want to be the first to take action to avoid being like a snipe and a clam. Others became fishermen.
But after all, someone couldn't help it anymore. This person was Yuan Shu, who had proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun.
Just five years after entering Jian'an, Yuan Shu started to cause trouble in Shouchun.
He raised 100,000 troops and launched a massive attack on Xuzhou.
After Gongsun Zan got the news, his first reaction was to scold his mother, and he immediately greeted Yuan Shu's eighteenth generation ancestors.
Among the great princes in the world, Liu Zhe, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others. Although Gongsun Zan occupies such a large area in Xuzhou, his strength is the lowest among the many princes.
Gongsun Zan transferred from Youzhou and came to Xuzhou. His foundation was not stable. His relationship with the local wealthy families in Xuzhou was not good. Especially when he took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, he broke his promise and broke the agreement with Tao Qian, and later attacked Tao Qian. , so angry that Tao Qian vomited blood and died, which brought his relationship with the local family in Xuzhou to a freezing point.
Although he controlled Xuzhou, Xuzhou has always been unstable. Many local families in Xuzhou below are ready to overthrow Gongsun Zan.
Outside, Cao Cao was drooling over Xuzhou, and inside there were local families who were ready to take action. It can be said that Gongsun Zan was suffering from internal and external troubles, which gave him a very headache. Under such circumstances, there is a limit to how much his strength can be enhanced.
It can be said that he is insufficient in offense and sufficient in defense.
But he is a tycoon after all, and he has the means. Under his rule, Xuzhou slowly begins to get better. As long as he is given time, he will be able to fully control Xuzhou and increase its strength greatly.
Therefore, even if his son was attacked by someone, he did not make any big fanfare to avenge his son. He could only endure this tone,
He needs time. The longer time passes, the stronger he will become.
You must know that after Cao Cao was beaten by Liu Zhe in Yongzhou, he ran back in despair, recuperating obediently, and had no strength to threaten Xuzhou for the time being.
"As for Liu Zhe, although he has a large army in Qingzhou, looking at Liu Zhe's appearance, as long as he doesn't provoke him, something will happen.
The external environment is excellent for Gongsun Zan. As long as he does not actively provoke Liu Zhe and Cao Cao, he can live a very comfortable life.
So Gongsun Zan took this time to sort out Xuzhou's internal environment, win over, suppress, and even wipe out families. He used many methods to deal with the families in Xuzhou. Gongsun Zan was confident that if he was given another half a year, he would be able to sort it out. Most of the families have made Xuzhou truly stable.
However, just two months after the fourth year of Jian'an, and three months away from what he thought was half a year, Yuan Shu started to cause trouble.
As soon as the ice and snow melted, Yuan Shu raised an army of 100,000 to fight against him. It's like when a person is concentrating on his work, and suddenly someone jumps out to disturb him, you can imagine how that person feels.
Anyway, Gongsun Zan is now thinking of devouring Yuan Shu alive.
"Mom sells batches, you are a bitch, you are a bastard, anyone named Yuan is not a good guy"
While Gongsun Zan was cursing Yuan Shu, not to be outdone, he summoned his soldiers to deal with Yuan Shu in a mighty manner.
Gongsun Zan brought 60,000 troops and horses to deal with Yuan Shu. He didn't have many troops at his disposal. Except for 50,000 troops to defend Cao Cao, 30,000 troops to defend Liu Zhe, and 30,000 troops to defend Sun Ce in Guangling, these 60,000 troops and horses were almost enough. Xuzhou's troops were all mobilized.
The two armies met in the Lingbi area.
"Yuan Shu, you rebellious son actually dare to invade our realm?"
? ?During the battle between the two armies, Gongsun Zan resisted the urge to pounce on Yuan Shu and devour him alive. He went out and cursed: "Surrender quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Gongsun Zan, when you see me, you don't immediately dismount and kneel down to worship me?"
Yuan Shu came out with great momentum. Six horses pulled Yuan Shu's chariot out. This was a chariot, an important symbol of the emperor. Yuan Shu was sitting on it wearing a dragon robe. The surrounding palace maids, eunuchs, ministers and others followed closely, just like the real emperor traveling.
It has to be said that Yuan Shu really regarded himself as the emperor. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
