Gongsun Zan is a general who has been through the battlefield for a long time. He understands military law and strategy, but his heart is really not as deep as Liu Yu's guess. The people in the army do not have so many colorful things, so Gongsun Zan's thoughts are not that complicated.

Gongsun Zan is not very scheming, which can be clearly seen. From the fact that Gongsun Zan was fooled by Liu Bei to help Liu Bei repeatedly, Liu Bei cheated away many soldiers, and was also cheated away Zhao Yun, the only one under Gongsun Zan who could take action. From these things, we can see that Gongsun Zan is not very smart.

"King Yan, Cao He is so scheming. These five thousand white horses are a bait he gave you. First, they give you two thousand to attract you to send troops. If you send troops, you will be trapped by Cao He He He is so crazy."

"King Yan, let's take a look at the current situation in Wei. Now, Cao Ai is just starting a war with Ma Teng. Although the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have made moves, they have not started fighting."

"At this time, if you send troops to attack Yuan Shao first, Yuan Shao will take advantage of his situation. At that time, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to attack our Youzhou first and then attack Cao Cao. In this way, you will be thundered for Cao Cao." Liu Yu said the power of this with Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan is just saying that he is not as scheming as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. But he is not a fool. After Liu Yu's analysis, he also understood that what Liu Yu said was very reasonable.

If he really didn't care about sending troops first, he would have really beaten Cao Cao. Moreover, he beat Yuan Shao, the biggest man.

Gongsun Zan thought to himself, people in the world say that Cao is concealed and cunning, and it turns out that's true.

Although this is clear, these five thousand white horses are quite attractive to Gongsun Zan. If they do not send troops, these five thousand white horses will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan was a little unsure of attention. He asked Liu Yu: "What should I do? Please take your attention."

As the saying goes, ginger is still spicy, and foxes are still smooth. Liu Yu, the old boy, is just a complete old fox.

"We can send troops, but we must not send troops first."

"Your Highness of the King of Yan, let's do this. Let's take the two thousand horses sent by Cao Cao first, and then tell Chen Qun that when Yuan Shao and the King of Wei fight, we will attack Yuan Shao in the rear and follow the example of the siege of Wei and the Warring States Period to save Zhao."

"If the King of Wei agrees, we will take care of them when we send troops. If the King of Wei disagrees, we will not return these two thousand horses. At this time, Cao Cao is full of enemies, and we will not return these two thousand horses. I don't expect Cao Cao would not dare to say anything more." Liu Yu said to Gongsun Zan.

When Gongsun Zan heard Liu Yu's attention, he thought to himself, this is good. If he does not need to take risks after he succeeds, he will get these five thousand horses. If he fails, it means that they have futile two thousand horses.

"Okay, please pay attention to this, let's do it." Gongsun Zan said.

"King Yan, remember that this must be done. We can only take advantage of the chaos to occupy Yuan Shao's territory, and also take the opportunity to attract refugees to our Youzhou."

"The advantage of sending troops is ours. If we send troops first, we will contribute to the efforts at that time, and the advantage of this is Cao Cao." Liu Yu reminded San.

Liu Yu felt that if Gongsun Zan could listen to what he said and did, then this battle would not be impossible. Youzhou was too poor and there were few people. In some places, there was not a single family even in a place.

In recent years, in order to supplement the population of Youzhou, Liu Yu even attracted foreigners from the grassland to settle in Youzhou, but even so, it did not add much population to Youzhou. Liu Yu knew very well that if you want Youzhou to develop, then the first thing to do is to have more entrances to Youzhou.

If this battle can bring hundreds of thousands or millions of people to Youzhou, it would be worth fighting this battle.

"Don't worry, Lord Liu, I know, I know." Gongsun Zan said with a smile.

Today can be said to be the most enjoyable day for Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan to get along. It is also the first time that Gongsun Zan feels that Liu Yu is really a good helper when he doesn't cause trouble for him.

"Second brother, you really don't know what to say. Liu Yu is really capable." After leaving the state palace, Gongsun Zan said to his second brother Gongsun Fan.

"Brother, it's a blessing that you have accepted the title of King Yan and can suppress Liu Yu. Otherwise, with the means of this old boy, we might have to be suppressed by him." Gongsun Fan said.

A few years ago, although Gongsun Zan held military power, all the food, grass and weapons had to be supplied by Liu Yu. Gongsun Zan could be said to have been very frustrated in those years. Any military action had to be approved by Liu Yu. If Liu Yu disagreed, Gongsun Zan could not do anything.

"Ha ha!"

"As the saying goes, thirty years from Hedong to Hexi. Now we are the King of Yan. Even if he is Liu Yu has great ability, he has to serve us." Gongsun Zan laughed.

With the attention given by Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan was also in a clear mind. After returning to his own Peking, Gongsun Zan immediately set up a banquet in the Yan Palace to entertain Chen Qun.

At the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Gongsun Zan picked up the wine glass and said to Chen Qun: "Mr. Chen, I have accepted these two thousand horses, and I have agreed to send troops."

As soon as he heard this, Chen Qun was happy. Since Gongsun Zan agreed to send troops, his mission was completed.

Chen Qun suppressed the joy on his face and asked Gongsun Zan: "I don't know when the King of Yan will send troops."

"When will the troops be sent?" Gongsun Zan took a sip of wine and said slowly: "When Yuan Shao sent troops to attack the King of Wei, it will be the time when I attacked Yecheng."

Yecheng is Yuan Shao's old nest, which is located in the center of Yuan Shao's territory. This direct attack on Yecheng was naturally criticized by Gongsun Zan.

However, the bragging criticism is the one who criticizes it. What Gongsun Zan means to say this also shows an attitude. It is okay for me, Gongsun Zan to send troops, but it is impossible for you to use Gongsun Zan as a gun.

Chen Qun is a smart person. As soon as Gongsun Zan said this, Chen Qun immediately understood. It seemed that Gongsun Zan had received guidance from experts. Now, it is obviously impossible to attract Yuan Shao's firepower if he sends troops first.

Of course, when Chen Qun came, Guo Jia had already explained everything. It would be best to let Gongsun Zan send troops first and attract Yuan Shao's firepower. If Gongsun Zan is unwilling to send troops first, then as long as Gongsun Zan is willing to stab Yuan Shao in the back at the critical moment, it is acceptable.
