Lu Bu's return to the north was a good start. The judge who was originally stationed in Youbeiping read the relevant information about Lu Bu's return to the north and silently made an astonishing move.
After Gongsun Zan was driven out of the southern part of Youzhou by Ju Yi, and blocked by Shenpei, he could not enter Youbeiping to attack southward. He had to occupy the Liaodong vassal state and stationed in Changli to mobilize troops and wait for the opportunity to counterattack Youzhou.
Since Shenpei has a monster defensive ability, Gongsun Zan basically has no good solution. Fortunately, Shenpei did not attack Gongsun Zan specifically. Although Changli was suffering, Gongsun Zan gradually stabilized the situation by plundering the Hu people.
It is said that Youzhou and Bingzhou are actually the same situation. How big the territory is depends purely on the map and power. If the fist is big, Youzhou will be big. Now Gongsun Zan has been forced to retreat to the northeast.
After retreating, Gongsun Zan discovered that he still had territory behind him. As for the border issue, Gongsun Zan's style has always been that wherever I hit, the boundary line on the map will be drawn there. If you don't accept it, fight back.
Of course, today¡¯s Gongsun Zan can no longer be as domineering as before, but he has never changed when it comes to dealing with foreigners. The hard-liners among the Iron-Blooded Faction have never discounted on foreigners.
It was an accident that he couldn't defeat Yuan Shao, but Gongsun Zan, who was unable to defeat the foreigner, felt that he could commit suicide. Without the white horse, he would not be able to hunt down and annihilate him at most. As long as there are soldiers, to the Hu people, he is still the invincible white horse general Gongsun Zan.
Although he was able to defeat the barbarians, the population problem in Youzhou itself still severely restricted the recovery of Gongsun Zan's strength. Now he could almost be considered as a military force to gather more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry. As for Tian Yu who was stationed at the border. Gongsun Zan never considered him as his subordinate, it was his final dignity and mission. Never waver.
Because he was blocked by the trial team, Gongsun Zan, who was located in Changli, basically didn¡¯t know much about the situation in the Central Plains in the past two years. Even Gongsun Zan did not receive any news at all about Lu Bu's merger with the state, which had caused a lot of commotion before.
From this point of view, in fact, the fact that Chen Lin and others supported Gongsun Zan had nothing to do with Gongsun Zan's money. The people involved did not know that such an incident had happened until the dust settled.
It can be seen from this that Gongsun Zan¡¯s information was blocked at this time, and it can also be seen that without professional intelligence organizations in this era, the transmission of relevant information would be slow.
In a word, things have reached this level. As another party involved in the heated discussion, he is completely unaware of it. Gongsun Zan, who is now living in Changli, is still thinking about how to counterattack Youzhou.
It is said that Gongsun Zan was able to go to war without causing food problems. It was also because of Chen Xi¡¯s strong support.
Although there has been less contact between Taishan and Gongsun Zan in the past two years, the sea transportation line has not been broken, and Liu Bei has never stopped providing food assistance to Gongsun Zan.
Of course, Yuan Shao is not a fool, and he has naturally sent troops to intercept transport ships at sea. Unfortunately, Jizhou warriors are mostly land warriors, and the army is all landlubbers. Not to mention naval battles, water battles are not good.
In addition, Yuan Shao had no generals at all, and his ships were only used at will. Liu Bei's transport ship was not robbed but he lost a lot of manpower. After several losses, Yuan Shao just let it go.
Anyway, judging from the exact information from Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei only provided material support to Gongsun Zan and did not provide personnel support. For the current Yuan Shao, mere material support will not shake his rule in Youzhou at all. With Gongsun Zan's strength, as long as he is willing to round it up and flatten it at any time.
If there is no way to deal with Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao now wants to send troops to crush Gongsun Zan to death.
In history, after Gongsun Zan was defeated at Jieqiao, he directly killed Liu Yu in order to avoid future troubles. Then the people of Youzhou who supported Liu Yu followed Liu Yu's generals to resist. Gongsun Zan, who was short of food at the time, started to send troops to grab food without stopping. Completely cutting off his popularity in Youzhou.
Although Liu Yu was also attacked in this life, he was still alive. After his anger subsided, Gongsun Zan did not kill Liu Yu's wife, concubines, and family members. He packed them up and sent them to Mount Tai. Then Taishan transferred them to Chang'an to reunite them with Liu Yu. At that time, Li Jue had already entered a period of relaxation, and Liu Yu did not suffer much.
In other words, in this generation, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had political disagreements and fought, but they did not cause such crazy things as killing the emperor's relatives.
"Besides, the Han Dynasty had a falling out with many state officials and border guards because of its attacks on foreigners. This was not a big deal. Everyone was used to it. At most, they felt that the central government had begun to mess up its personnel arrangements again. No wonder the world has been in recession in the past two years.
As for sending troops to grab grain, with Liu Bei's strong support, Gongsun Zan has not yet fallen to this level, so for the people of Youzhou, it is actually a new governor., there was no damage to his life, and Gongsun Zan still maintained his prestige in Youzhou.
This is why Yuan Shao is far stronger than Gongsun Zan and has to think about how to deal with Gongsun Zan. Killing is definitely not advisable, but if he doesn't kill, Gongsun Zan's prestige in Youzhou will be troublesome. I don't see that there are still many people in Youzhou who remember Gongsun Zan. Good.
If he continues to attack Gongsun Zan, based on Yuan Shao's understanding of Gongsun Zan's character, once there is no chance of victory, that bastard Gongsun Zan will definitely commit suicide and will not give him a chance to capture him. In this case, if Gongsun Zan dies, Yuan Shao will take the blame. deal.
Therefore, Yuan Shao doesn't fight Gongsun Zan very much now. He is thinking about how to capture Gongsun Zan alive, or how to kill Gongsun Zan without causing public resentment. Of course, if it is a last resort, Yuan Shao will kill Gongsun Zan even if the public resentment boils over.
However, the current situation is not enough for Yuan Shao to make up his mind to directly kill Gongsun Zan, although Yuan Shao is already prepared to risk his life.
It can be said that the judge knew all these things. He also thought about getting rid of Gongsun Zan. For example, he used Liu Yu's generals to avenge Liu Yu, or deceived the barbarians to attack Gongsun Zan. In short, he thought of many ways, but In terms of feasibility, there is basically no possibility.
The generals and commanders under Liu Yu really wanted to avenge Liu Yu, but Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were not mortal enemies. After Liu Yu was sent to Chang'an, he completely no longer held his position and did not pursue his political affairs. In order to prevent his generals from being deceived by foreigners, Under Liu Yan's persuasion, a declaration was issued.
The general meaning is that I am still alive and well, and you don¡¯t need to avenge me. Gongsun Zan will protect you if you stay in the Han people¡¯s place. Hu people, please don¡¯t trouble Gongsun Zan. I thank you for your kindness, but if you fight But Gongsun Zan, run away quickly. Without me in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan may go on a killing spree at any time. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
