Chapter 345 Gongsun Zan Attacks Jizhou
It is said that Gongsun Zan heard that Yuan Shao took Jizhou without spending a single soldier. Only then did he figure out that he was fooled by Yuan Shao and was regarded as a fool. So he sent his brother Gongsun Yue to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao and ask for part of the land in Jizhou that Yuan Shao promised to give to Gongsun Zan.
"Yuan Gong, in the past, you sent a book to my brother to attack Jizhou, but now Yuan Gong has taken Jizhou by himself. How can Yuan Gong trust the people of the world in this way?" As soon as he saw Yuan Shao, Gongsun Yue said with an expression of guilt.
"Well, Gongsun Zan, as the governor of Beiping, rushed to the official Youzhou Mu Liu Yan without authorization. This is a great rebellion. How dare he send someone to come to me to shout? Moreover, when I sat in Jizhou, I was invited by Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou. Now that the assassin of Han abandoned Jizhou, Yuan Shao thought for the people of Jizhou, so he accepted the things of Jizhou. I did this to follow the example of the ancient sages. Why not? Looking at Gongsun Yue in front of him, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said carelessly.
"Ha ha, what the employees said is really nice. How did Yuan Gong get Jizhou? Now my brother doesn't want to pursue it. My brother sent me here just to ask how Yuan Gong promised to divide Jizhou, and now how does Yuan Gong plan to fulfill his promise on that day? Looking at Yuan Shao in front of him, Gongsun Yue sneered and went straight to the point and asked Yuan Shao to separate part of Jizhou territory for himself.
"Well, Gongsun Zan is just a Taishou. How dare he reach out to take care of our affairs in Jizhou? Does Gongsun Zan want to rebel? To be honest, I have asked Your Majesty to be the herdsman of Jizhou. It is estimated that the imperial edict will arrive. Please tell Gongsun Zun when you go back to let him die. Stay in Youzhou and don't find it boring. Yuan Shao now has got Jizhou and forced Han Fu away. He will still care about Gongsun Zan. In Yuan Shao's opinion, as long as he doesn't go to Gongsun Zan's trouble, it is Gongsun Zan's luck. How can he give the land to Gongsun Zan?
"Does Mr. Yuan really want to go to war with my brother?" Hearing that Yuan Shao had no intention of giving in at all, he didn't know that he was unwilling to fulfill the promise of that day. He didn't even say a good word, and Gongsun Yue was also angry.
"Oh, is there a war? I just want to try Gongsun Zan's methods. I will give Gongsun Zan a reason to go to war now. After listening to Gongsun Yue's words, Yuan Shaoyin smiled and shouted outside the hall, "Come on, take Gongsun Yue down and behead him, return the head to Gongsun Zan, and tell him that I'm waiting for him in Jizhou."
Since Yuan Shao got Jizhou, it is destined that Yuan Shao's future road will be to unify Hebei, and Gongsun Zan is undoubtedly the biggest resistance to Yuan Shao's road. In this way, Yuan Shao does not need to be polite to Gongsun Zan at that time, because there can only one master in Hebei.
"Why does Yuan Gong have to be like this? Mr. Yuan, please think twice." Seeing that Yuan Shao showed a ferocious face to kill himself, Gongsun Yue panicked at this time. They also thought that Yuan Shao turned his face. This was completely different from Yuan Shao's previous influence, so that Gongsun Yue panicked for a moment.
"Duke Yuan, the two countries will not fight with each other. It is unreasonable for Yuan Gong to kill Gongsun Yue, which will definitely make people all over the world doubt Yuan Gong's demeanor. They also ask Yuan Gong to let Gongsun go back, and it is not too late for the two armies to start a war." At this time, a scribe next to Yuan Shao stood up and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "This person is none other than Tian Feng."
"Mr. Tian said this. Gongsun Yue is not only the brother of Gongsun Zan, but also a rare general in Gongsun Zan's army. Since we want to fight with Gongsun Zan, we should break his claws first, which can be more conducive to the battle of our army. If it is according to Mr. Tian's words, won't it? It's a military opportunity." As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Guo Tu on the other side stood up against it. Unlike Tian Feng, Guo Tu believes that in order to achieve his goal, he can do whatever means. Since he wants to go to war with Gongsun Zan, he should use all means to weaken Gongsun Zan's power.
"Don't say anything. I have my own decision. This Gongsun Yue dares to shout in front of me. It's really unforgivable. I'm right to kill him." After Yuan Shao finished saying that and waved his hand, the bodyguard in front of the palace had pushed Gongsun Yue out. Before long, a bloody head was presented, which was Gongsun Yue's head.
"What? Yuan Shao's thief actually killed my brother?" Hearing the story of the people brought by Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Zan was furious. Although Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao did not have much intersection, from the only understanding, Gongsun Zan still couldn't believe why Yuan Shao was so cruel that he killed his brother.
"Your Excellency, you must avenge General Gongsun Yue. He died so miserably. General Gongsun Yue's head is still hanging on the head of Xindu City." Several people who went with Gongsun Yue are now lying on the ground and crying to Gongsun Zant.
"Well, my brother was hurt by Yuan Shao. Why can you get out safely? Isn't it that you have obeyed Yuan Shao? Looking at the people who kowtowed like garlic in front of him, Gongsun Zan shouted angrily.
"General Mingcha, we absolutely did not surrender to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao wanted us to send a message to the general, which left the lives of the villains. Please forgive the little ones for the sake of our loyalty." Seeing that Gongsun Zan was so angry, several people were as cicadas and hurriedly begged Gongsun Zan for mercy.
"Well, my brother is dead. What's the use of staying with you? Come on, drag me out and cut me." At this time, Gongsun Zan only felt that it was difficult to vent a nameless fire in his heart, and how could he let go of a few people? Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zan's younger brother. Naturally, Gongsun Zan could not do anything to Yuan Shao. Whether Yuan Shao came to the envoys, even if Gongsun Zan wanted to find someone to vent his anger, no one could find him, so these unlucky families in front of him. He became the best tool for Gongsun Zan to vent his anger. Who asked them to speak for Yuan Shao and had a relationship with Yuan Shao.
"Brother, Yuan Shao's thief is so rampant that he dares to kill my second brother. If we can't avenge the second brother, how can we stand between heaven and earth?" Seeing that Gongsun Zan killed several people, Gongsun Fan still felt angry. In Gongsun Fan's opinion, he had to kill Yuan Shao to settle this account.
"Don't worry, the third brother, Yuan Shao is treacherous and kills my second brother. I am not with him. You go down immediately to order the three armies. We will order troops tomorrow and fight with Yuan Shao. After listening to Gongsun Fan's words, Gongsun Zan was in his arms, and Gongsun Zan ordered without hesitation.
"Such a minute, the reason why General Yuan Shao is fearless and kills the second general is that he wants the general to send troops in anger. The general has to think twice." Seeing that Gongsun Zan was a little angry, Yan Gang hurried forward and said. Originally, Yan Gang thought that Gongsun Zan's anger could calm down a little after killing those people just now, but now it seems that Gongsun Zan's anger is not calm, so he immediately stopped him.
"Yan Gang, what are you talking about? Don't you have to avenge my second brother?" Hearing Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Fan said with no good face. In Gongsun Fan's opinion, his second brother was killed, and the whole army should unite at this time. This is the right way. Why is Yan Gang come out to sing the opposite tune?
"Yan Gang, if you have something to say, just say it." Yan Gang was so disturbed, but Gongsun Zan's mood calmed down a little. Yan Gang followed Gongsun Zan for many years and made many achievements. Gongsun Zan knew that Yan Gang's words were not timid. He must have something to say, so he asked slowly.
"General Yuan Shao is unwilling to give up Jizhou, which is also human's normal. He must swallow the meat in his mouth. No one wants to spit it out, but his subordinates don't understand why Yuan Shao killed the general? Although he was stupid, he felt that this must be Yuan Shao's poisonous plan to anger the general. Of course, the ugliness of the second general must also be reported, but the general must have comprehensive consideration for sending troops. He can't act righteously, let alone fight with anger. Yan Gang said after sorting out his thoughts a little.
"Oh? So what do you think we should do about this war? After listening to Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Zan was also lost in meditation. Gongsun Yue was killed by Yuan Shao. Although Gongsun Zan was very angry, his anger was attributed to anger. As an old man in officialdom, Gongsun Zan had long been used to hiding his emotions. No extreme emotion could last long in Gongsun Zan. At this time, he listened to Yan Gang. By the saying, Gongsun Zun has calmed down a lot. The deceased is dead. Now the most important thing for Gongsun Zan is not to avenge Gongsun Yue, but to use this matter to maximize his own interests. Thinking of this point, Gongsun Zan slowly looked at Yan Gang and asked.
"General, Yuan Shao's access to Jizhou is just a matter of these days. At present, although Yuan Shao forced Han Fu away, Han Fu's old subordinates may not really accept Yuan Shao. When the general enters Jizhou, he gives a chance to thank people. As long as the general can seize the opportunity appropriately, he will definitely receive a miraculous effect." Yan Gang arched his hand to Gongsun Zan before saying it seriously.
"Ha ha ha, that's right. According to what you said, we will send troops to Jizhou tomorrow, and at the same time, we will order the heads of counties to lead troops to help the war." After listening to Yan Gang's words, Gongsun Zan smiled knowingly. The two had cooperated for many years and knew each other very well. Although Yan Gang did not speak clearly, Gongsun Zan had already heard the meaning of Yan Gang and knew what to do.
"Brother, I would like to be a pioneer and take the lead in attacking Jizhou." Seeing that the soldiers and horses were leaving tomorrow, Gongsun Fan got up and said. As the third brother of Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan is very serious about avenging Gongsun Yue.
"Okay, I'll take you to lead 20,000 soldiers. I'll set out early tomorrow morning and force Xindu to open the way for my army." Gongsun Zan did not resist Gongsun Fan's requirements at all and ordered directly.
"It's not good, it's not good, Mr. Yuan, Gongsun Zan came straight from Youzhou with 150,000 soldiers and horses. I'm afraid we can't resist it." Shortly after Gongsun Zan's uprising, Guo Tu got the specific news of Gongsun Zan's uprising and rushed to Yuan Shao in a panic to report.
