Enlightenment of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41 Qiu Liju's Conspiracy, Gongsun Zan's Decision

Taoist Zuo Ci took Chen Yiran with him, and the two floated away together.Mr. Wu Jiao's trip was just to get rid of the bottom line.That Zhang Chun was defeated by Gongsun Zan and fled back in a hurry, Master Qiu Liju ordered him to take care of his money and food.Wuhuan, Zhang Chun, and Zhang Ju's army plundered the money and grain of the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, and Ji, and all of them were stationed in Liucheng.At this time, Zhang Chun was stationed in Liuzhou City, taking care of the money and food!

It's not that Master Qiu Liju is reassuring Zhang Chun, but it's impossible to let him come to Guanzicheng.Qiu Liju was also worried that he would not be able to stand alone. This self-proclaimed "General Mitian and King An Ding" Zhang Chun really led his direct descendants into Guanzi City and killed his enemy Gongsun Zan. What should we do?Lord Qiu Liju is already determined to join the Han Dynasty again, because there is no benefit to be gained if he continues to fight.

And Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are even more insignificant people to him.If the reward offered by Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu is high enough, so what if they betray the heads of both of them?The Wuhuan people don't have any faith at all, and the priority of interests is fundamental!No way, the nomads are poor, don't want to find a way to rob the Han people?What do they live on?This is also the reason why Wuhuan under Liu Yu's rule can have a good relationship with the Han Dynasty.

It turns out that when Liu Yu was governor of Youzhou, he had already opened up the Shanggu market, traded with those foreigners there, and obtained income from mining the salt and iron mines in Yuyang.These specific implementers are all noble families in Youzhou. Liu Yu has benefited the major noble families. Naturally, they will try their best to maintain peace for Liu Yu.Therefore, no matter the foreign races such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Yeji, they all benefited from the transaction, and naturally the conflicts between each other would be sharply reduced, and everyone could get what they needed.

After Liu Yu served as the shepherd of Youzhou again, he still implemented this kind of soft-hearted policy, so he won the strong support of the nobles and foreign leaders such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu, and Yeji.This is also the fundamental reason why Wuhuan Liaoxi master Qiu Liju was unwilling to kill Gongsun Zan.Because killing Gongsun Zan, the cavalry captain personally appointed by the court, is to make an enemy of the emperor of Han, and he really didn't have the courage to do so.

Qiu Liju has only one son, Lou Ban, but he is too young. If he continues to fight, he will eventually be defeated.He was worried that after a hundred years, this family business would be swallowed up by outsiders, so what should he do?As for Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, who is recognized as a good man, if he does not belong to him, when will he be?You can't really give this family business to your nephew, can you?Although he can be regarded as his own son now, but after all, no son Lou Ban is more self-absorbed.

Just now there is a report from the horse scout. It is said that Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, has led troops to patrol the border, and is only two hundred miles away from Guanzi City.So Qiu Liju handed over the matter of besieging Gongsun Zan to Congzi Tadun, believing in his talent, it would be as easy as pie to trap Gongsun Zan in Guanzi City.But now, for the sake of the people of Wuhuan, it is better for him to join Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.

This is why Chen Yong was able to see that the Wuhuan army that besieged Gongsun Zan suddenly lost half of its troops.And after Chen Yong led his army to rush into Guanzi City with the help of the weather, Gongsun Zan was notified.Today, the wind is strong, under such bad weather, more than 1000 people will rush into Guanzi City?

Gongsun Zan said in his heart, "My life is over! Lord Qiu Liju may see the strong wind today, and he is worried that the weather will change again in the next two days, so he naturally intends to withdraw his troops. Before leaving, he wants the soldiers to go to Guanzi City. Have you taken my leader? If so, what should I do?"

Gongsun Zan wanted to fight, but it had been snowing for days, and now his hundreds of people were hungry.Naturally, the combat strength was greatly reduced, and there was nothing he could do to fight against Wuhuan's army.However, Gongsun Zan was unwilling to be captured without a fight, so he ordered his followers Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan and others to mount their horses and meet the enemy together. Even if they died in battle today, they would never surrender!

Hundreds of soldiers under him also broke out in combat power. Even if they were hungry and staggered, they still had to cheer up and followed the cavalry captain Gongsun Zan to attack the invading enemy!Most people in this battle understand in their hearts that this is their last battle.But even if you die, you have to fight and kill the enemy with General Gongsun until the last moment!

Chen Yong came to Guanzi City first, and saw a group of sentry troops head-on. The faces of these generals were already full of vicissitudes, and their expressions were listless.The man in the middle is riding a white horse, wearing a golden crown on his head, and holding a large spear in his hand.But at this time, he was immediately slashing, with his head held high and his chest held high, with a murderous aura of his own!

Chen Yong looked at the man who was about to raise the lance and shouted: "General, are you Gongsun Zan? I am Liu Xuande's friend Chen Yong, and I specially led troops to rescue the general! I also brought food and grass. After everyone has eaten and drank, let's go!" How about rushing out of Guanzi City with me and returning to Youzhou together?"

The people behind Gongsun Zan were all in high spirits for a while, no one thought that a sentry would come to rescue him at this time!Everyone immediately cheered up, but no one knew Chen Yong, what should we do?Gongsun Zan asked: "General Chen, you said that you are Liu Xuande's friend. I have only met Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide. How can you win my trust when you are a stranger like you?"

Chen Yong said: "I have a letter written by Liu Xuande. He was trapped at the entrance of Liaoxi by Qiu Liju's army. Lord Xuande resisted Su Lie's cavalry, so I had the opportunity to break through in the chaos. Today Half of Qiu Liju's army left here early in the morning, and it was past noon, and there was a strong wind again, I waited to take advantage of the time to rush in and come here to rescue General Gongsun."

Gongsun Zan said: "General Chen, even so, can I trouble you to send Liu Xiandi's letter up? I want to read it before making a decision!"

Chen Yong took out a letter from his bosom, urged his horse to gallop towards Gongsun Zan.A rider from Gongsun Zan's camp rushed out early, blocking Chen Yong's way.The man cupped his hands immediately and said: "General Chen, please pass on the letter to me, Tian Kai. After General Gongsun confirms that it is correct, can General Chen come again? I am also thinking of General Gongsun's safety, and I invite General Chen Don't be surprised."

Chen Yong smiled and nodded, he handed Liu Xuande's letter to Tian Kai and rode back.Tian Kai took the letter to Gongsun Zan.As soon as Gongsun Zan opened the letter, he knew it was written by his good brother Liu Bei.The letter stated that he was the commander, and Chen Yong led a team to rescue Gongsun Zan.It's just that Lu Yuqiu Liju's army intercepted him, and even his third brother Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide were defeated.As a last resort, Chen Yong had to go deep with his own army, and he led his own troops to hold back the eight thousand Wuhuan army.

Gongsun Zan had confirmed that Chen Yong was the one who came to rescue, because all the soldiers he brought were from the Central Plains.What's more, even the wheels of the carriage pulling the military supplies are about to fall apart, which shows the urgency of this march.Gongsun Zan urged his horse and came to Chen Yong's side. He cupped his fists in salute and said, "General Chen, thank you for leading your troops to rescue me. As long as I, Gongsun Zan, can escape from danger, I will definitely repay today's great favor! Distribute the food on the carriage as soon as possible." , we are already starving to death!"

Chen Yong hurriedly ordered Pei Yuanshao to bury the pot and make rice as soon as possible, and boil some gruel for General Gongsun's soldiers to drink.And my own army, all only eat dry food, not hot food!Chen Yong was worried that directly letting Gongsun Zan's troops eat dry food would ruin their stomachs because they hadn't eaten for too long.Those soldiers didn't understand, but Gongsun Zan had experienced it.However, he still invited Chen Yong to have some hot porridge together to warm up his body.

Chen Yong seemed to have thought of something, not only drank the hot porridge himself, but also called Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang, Liu Xing and other generals over.After introducing Gongsun Zan one by one, he invited them all to have a bowl of hot porridge together.Moreover, Chen Yong served hot porridge from different pots and distributed them to the generals.Then Liu Xing and Zhou Cang thanked Gongsun Zan gratefully.Pei Yuanshao and Fang Ming are different, they are angry inside, which can be seen from their eyes.

Chen Yong was unmoved, and insisted that he not only drank the hot porridge himself, but also invited Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu to participate together.Gongsun Zan naturally understood what Chen Yong meant, but he had to worry more about the way of generals.He saw that Chen Yong's expression remained unchanged, and he dealt with all this calmly, so he couldn't help feeling more fond of him.

After everyone drank the hot porridge, after half an hour, Chen Yong added another meal to Gongsun Zan's soldiers. This time, everyone was half full and no longer hungry.After this extra meal, those soldiers who were groggy and in a bad state came back to life and became more energetic.At this time, Gongsun Zan's subordinates naturally had more trust in Chen Yong, but they still had a sense of precaution.

Chen Yong saw that it would not be easy for Gongsun Zan's subordinates to let go of their guard in the short term, but if it really had to be like this all the time, how could they escape together without trusting cooperation?Chen Yong took out another letter from his carry-on and handed it to Gongsun Zan.When Gongsun Zan opened the letter, he naturally recognized the handwriting of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.Liu Yu was well-known in Youzhou, and he, Gongsun Zan, naturally admired him, but Liu Yu came back to be the shepherd of Youzhou, and he still had some conflicts in his heart.

No way, Gongsun Zan always thought that after the Battle of Shimen, he would have the possibility of being promoted, and after more than 200 days of suffering in Guanzi City, the position of Shepherd in Youzhou should be given to him today.But when he saw Liu Yu's letter, he knew that this dream was shattered.The only consolation is that the identities of Chen Yong and others can be determined, and they must be the reinforcements sent by the imperial court to save him!

In this way, in order for everyone to escape smoothly, Chen Yong took out this letter from Liu Yu in desperation, so that there was more trust between himself and Gongsun Zan, but it also added another obstacle.While Gongsun Zan was convinced of his status as a reinforcement, his favorability towards Chen Yong declined instead.Although Gongsun Zan's more than 800 generals were more friendly to Chen Yong's team, those generals were more polite than grateful to Chen Yong.

No way, if my lord, Gongsun Zan, couldn't be the shepherd of Youzhou, his power of reward would naturally not be that great.People like myself have followed the general for so long, have endured hardships, been tired, and fought so hard until now, what can they get in return?Just because Liu Yu is a clan member of the Han family, should he be the shepherd of Youzhou?His coming has ruined years of hard work by people like himself!

Chen Yong negotiated with Gongsun Zan, it was just dark, and taking advantage of the windy weather outside, everyone rushed out of Guanzi City together and returned to the way they came.But Gongsun Zan did the opposite, did not choose Chen Yong's opinion, and returned to Youzhou along the return route.Instead, he made up his mind to lead his troops along the front line of Liucheng, and then follow the route along the Liaohe River to return to Youzhou!
