Chapter 252 Gongsun Zan sends troops to help Cao
Li Chen's request made more or less a little confused Cao Cao. Cao Cao was a little confused for a moment. When things go wrong, Cao Cao looked in the direction of Guo Jia.
Guo Jia didn't understand what Li Chen meant, but in Guo Jia's opinion, this was a good thing for them no matter what. Thinking of this, Guo Jia nodded to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao always obeyed Guo Jia's opinions. Seeing Guo Jia nodding, Cao Cao no longer hesitated and agreed to Li Chen's request. In this way, Li Chen and Cao Cao reached a preliminary cooperation.
After Li Chen reached a consensus with Cao Cao, he quickly ordered people to send five thousand white horses. For Li Chen, this thing is a renewable energy source. That is to say, as long as it is a horse, Li Chen can turn him into white. Not to mention a horse, you are a mule, a donkey, a tiger, etc., and Li Chen can turn him into white. After all, during the Three Kingdoms period, he was not very careful about this dyed horse.
With five thousand white horses, Cao Cao immediately sent his own debater Chen Qun to Beiping, Youzhou to lobby Gongsun Zan. What is a debater? Distinguishing scholars are different from strategists. Staff members make money by their heads, while distinguishing scholars make money by their mouths. To put it bluntly, they make money by fooling others.
The situation in Youzhou is different from other places. The government affairs of Youzhou are led by Liu Yu, the governor of the prefecture, while the military affairs are led by Gongsun Zan. In the past, the two of them were well matched by both literature and martial arts, but their relationship has become increasingly uneven in the past two years.
Liu Yu, like Liu Bei, is a relative of the Han Dynasty. However, unlike Liu Bei, the so-called Han Dynasty clan, most of the Han Dynasty clan, Liu Bei, is boasting. But Liu Yu, the Han Dynasty clan, is real.
When Gongsun Zan accepted the title of King of Yan, Liu Yu blocked him horizontally and did not want Gongsun Zan to be king. After Gongsun Zan insisted on becoming king, the conflict between the two became increasingly intensified. Liu Yu was a relative of the Han family, and now there was a lot of King of Yan that was inexplicably more and more, so how could he feel good?
Chen Qun came to Peiping with two thousand white horses. When Gongsun Zan saw these two thousand white horses, his eyes were straightened. Then, Chen Qun told him about the King of Wei Cao Cao's invitation to Gongsun Zan to send troops. He also told Gongsun Zan that as long as he was willing to send troops, Cao Cao would send him three thousand white horses.
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan could not be moved. To be honest, Gongsun Zan had been tired of living in Youzhou. He was not without news of entering the Central Plains. The key was that Liu Yu, who blocked him and refused to send troops, so Gongsun Zan did not enter the venue.
At this time, Cao Cao's five thousand white horses could be said to have given Gongsun Zan an entrance ticket. Now, for these five thousand white horses, Gongsun Zan has to enter the venue without hesitation. Not to mention that Liu Yu could not stop him, even the Jade Emperor could not stop him even if he came to earth.
Gongsun Zan thought to himself, Yuan Shao, I am sure, and Jesus can't save him.
"Please go and rest first. Within three days, I will definitely give Mr. Chen a reply." Gongsun Zan said to Chen Qun.
If you want to say, Gongsun Zan is really stupid. This is just sending troops to attack Yuan Shao. He can actually give Chen Qun an answer within three days for such a big thing.
At this time, Gongsun Zan had actually made a decision. However, he had to notify Liu Yu at all.
After Chen Qun was invited to rest, Gongsun Zan's brother, Gongsun Fan, spoke: "Brother, I'm afraid that Liu Zhoumu will not agree to this matter."
Liu Yu is old and is very conservative. He has been stopping Gongsun Zan before, and even Gongsun Zan had to lend Liu Bei on a small scale before, because Liu Yu was blocking him.
Although the military power of Youzhou is in the control of Gongsun Zan, this kind of military service is not enough to have troops in hand. If you send troops to fight, food and supplies are indispensable, military supplies are indispensable, and military pay and expenses are also indispensable.
Gongsun Zan wanted to fight, but the logistics of food and grass were in Liu Yu's hands. Therefore, if Liu Yu did not agree, Gongsun Zan could carry out a small-scale operation, but a large-scale operation was indeed not.
"snort."
"If he, Liu Yu, disagree, he will part with him." Gongsun Zan said coldly.
You know, Gongsun Zan is not the same as before. In the past, Liu Yu was the governor of the state, and Gongsun Zan was also a subordinate of Liu Yu. However, now Gongsun Zan is the King of Yan, and this Youzhou is his fief. The imperial edict covered with a gold-inlaid jade seal is clearly written in black and white. Now, Gongsun Zan has the final say in this Youzhou, and it is very simple to take off Liu Yu's official robe.
Mainly, Liu Yu has carried out benevolent politics in Youzhou over the years, and has managed the internal affairs of Youzhou in an orderly manner, and is quite famous among the people. If it weren't for the fear that Liu Yu would get out of the country would affect the people's livelihood in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan would have let Liu Yu go out long ago.
Youzhou, the governor's office.
"Your Highness, I don't know what's going on?" Liu Yu asked carefully as he looked at Gongsun Zan who was rushing in with his troops.
Since Gongsun Zan called King of Yan, Liu Yu is now walking on thin ice. Liu Yu's heart has often scolded the little emperor Liu Xie. In Liu Yu's opinion, Liu Xie is a typical example of selling his father and land. He can actually use such a foolish trick as being the king.
But then again, the imperial edict was written in black and white, and Gongsun Zan was named King of Yan and covered with the golden jade seal. Since Gongsun Zan received this imperial edict, Liu Yu would not refuse to recognize it. If Liu Yu did not recognize the king of Yan, Gongsun Zan, it would be against the imperial edict.
Therefore, although Liu Yu felt disgusted, he still had to bite the bullet and call Gongsun Zan and call him Your Highness the King of Yan.
"I want to send troops to attack Yuan Shao. I will give you half a month to prepare weapons, food and grass for me." Gongsun Zan said to Liu Yu.
"What?"
"Send troops to attack Yuan Shao?"
"Your Highness King Yan, we have agreed that we will not use any weapons in Youzhou?" Liu Yu said to Gongsun Zan.
When Gongsun Zan was called King of Yan, he agreed to Liu Yu, just to guard the frontier and defend the Huns for the Han Dynasty. He would never use any weapons unless he had no choice.
"Mr. Liu, I won't hide it from you. King Cao Cao of Wei allowed me to send troops to support him. I plan to attack Yuan Shao from the rear, and I will definitely be able to catch Yuan Shao off guard."
"Mr. Liu, don't you say all day long that our Youzhou is poor and has a scarce population and cannot fight big battles? We are poor, but Yuan Shao's territory is rich. If I take some of Yuan Shao's territory, we will be able to fight big battles by then." Gongsun Zan said seriously.
"Never be able to King Yan?"
"Yuan Shao is the descendant of the fourth generation and the third emperor. Wouldn't it be a big fuss for us to beat him?" Liu Yu opposed it.
"The three masters of the four generations and three generations are just a big mistake in the world."
