Youzhou is located in a remote area and is on the border. It is often plundered by foreign tribes, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun¡¯s rebellion made Youzhou worse.
Later, Liu Yu became the shepherd of Youzhou and asked Liu Ke for reinforcements. He first defeated the rebels and then defeated the invading Wuhuan army, thus stabilizing the situation.
Liu Yu encouraged trade with foreign tribes and met the needs of foreign tribes and Youzhou nobles. After gaining their support, Liu Yu took drastic measures to improve the lives of the people of Youzhou.
After Liu Yu was defeated and died, Gongsun Zan followed Liu Yu's tactics, but it didn't work.
The biggest reason is that Gongsun Zan hates foreigners and is dissatisfied with the nobles.
The instability at the top will naturally affect the people below.
Gongsun Zan struggled for several years, and Youzhou's economic level returned to the period of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
However, Gongsun Zan was born in the military and knew the importance of military power, so he recruited troops frantically. The reason why Youzhou did not fall into chaos was because Gongsun Zan had 250,000 troops under his command.
Such strength is enough to control every corner of Youzhou.
If there is no external force, Gongsun Zan's rule in Youzhou is as stable as Mount Tai.
However, regardless of the previous hatred, Yuan Shao must kill Gongsun Zan if he wants to develop.
The same goes for Gongsun Zan, who wants to kill Yuan Shao all the time.
However, Yuan Shao was more of a thief and called his ally Cao Cao, giving him an absolute advantage in military strength.
A total of 400,000 troops!
The flags are so overwhelming that anyone who sees them will have their legs numb.
Except Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan actually formed a formation at the border, waiting for the coalition forces of Cao and Yuan. Everyone thought Gongsun Zan was crazy, even Fan Fang disagreed.
"My lord, it's too dangerous to finish your work in one battle!" Fan Fang said.
"Danger? Where is there no danger? Isn't it dangerous to stay quietly in the high city wall and wait for the enemy to attack?" Gongsun Zan said.
Fan Fang was speechless for a moment and said: "Lord, think twice! Once defeated, we will have no way back."
"What a joke, can't you think in a good direction? Once we win, Hebei will be determined!" Gongsun Zan said with high spirits.
This is indeed the truth, but is it too much to force an army of 250,000 against an army of 400,000?
boom!
¡°I just want to catch them off guard!¡± Gongsun Zan patted the table and said.
Gongsun Zan has such courage, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may not have it!
Fan Fang was silent. Talking more would be useless. The lord was determined to fight decisively.
After a while, Guan Jing walked in and whispered a few words in Gongsun Zan's ear, who beamed with joy.
Only then did Fan Fang realize that his lord was also prepared.
Gongsun Zan directly set up a decisive battle posture at the border, and the decision-making power has been transferred to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Do you want to fight or not?
"Gongsun Zan is brave but has no plans, but one battle can decide the outcome." Yuan Shao said.
Want to fight!
This is Yuan Shao's opinion. After all, Cao Cao now has great autonomy. He might just retreat if he is in a bad mood. Yuan Shao cannot afford to wait.
Since Gongsun Zan wants to die, let¡¯s help him!
"However, Cao Cao is suspicious and Gongsun Zan is brave and foolhardy. What if he gets the idea once?
This is an army of 200,000, and Cao Cao cannot afford to lose it.
Cao Cao¡¯s goal has always been Yangzhou, and his conspiracy with Yuan Shao was just for common interests.
Now Bingzhou is in the bag
It¡¯s not that Cao Cao never thought about it, but he quickly gave up the idea.
If the Marquis of Dongyang is powerful, Yuan Shao still needs to contain the Marquis of Dongyang. Yuan Shao cannot be sacrificed unless it is a last resort.
Although Yuan Shao is a villain, he has the ambition to conquer the world. He will not betray Cao Cao's army until Dongyang Hou falls.
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Cao Cao said.
"Gongsun Zan knew his disadvantage, but he put on a posture to meet the enemy and had no choice but to guard against it." Cao Cao said.
"In that case, our army will take the lead!" Yuan Shao said.
"Cao Cao is unhappy. Doesn't this mean that he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"
"Benchu, since I promised you to seize Youzhou, I will not go back on it. This matter still needs long-term consideration." Cao Cao said.
Yuan Shao¡¯s little thoughts were seen through, but he was so shamelessHe was not embarrassed at all.
"Mengde, I am also considering it for you. This is the best way to capture Youzhou in a short time. Do you have to spend several months here?" Yuan Shao said.
Cao Cao hesitated, what Yuan Shao said made sense.
Not to mention the imperial ministers who were ready to make a move, there was also the reaction of Yangzhou, as well as Ma Chao and Han Sui of Liangzhou.
Cao Cao has too many enemies and cannot stay in Youzhou for too long.
"Let me think about it for one more day!" Cao Cao said.
After the meeting, Yuan Shao left in a hurry.
"Lord, I think Cao Mengde has no intention of helping us after he captured Bingzhou." Guo Tu said.
"Humph, of course I know, but I am still useful to him and he will not give up on me easily." Yuan Shao said.
"However, Yuan Shaonai was born in the fourth generation and the third generation. When did he become so humble?
"Cao Cao just suppressed him, but now he is almost reduced to Cao Cao's little brother.
"It's a pity that before I defeat Gongsun Zan, I can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden." Yuan Shao said to himself.
"My lord, now that the Marquis of Dongyang has defeated the 150,000 Liaodong army, it is only a matter of time before Gongsun Du admits defeat. If we delay any longer, something may happen." Tian Feng said.
"If Cao Mengde doesn't help me take Youzhou, don't blame me for biting back." Yuan Shao sneered.
Tian Feng¡¯s heart trembled. How could he fight back? He thought of several feasible plans in his mind. One was to seize Bingzhou, and the other was to surrender to Dongyang Hou and let Dongyang Hou attack Yanzhou
If it really comes to that point, it will be easier for Marquis Dongyang.
"Don't worry, my lord, Cao Mengde is a great hero. Being timid and fearful is not his style. In the end, he will definitely support my lord in the decisive battle." Tian Feng said.
"I hope so." Yuan Shao said.
On the other side, Cao Cao was also anxious, worrying about this and that. As a lord, this is what he should consider.
"My lord, I'm afraid Yuan Benchu ??has lost his patience." Yang Xiudao.
"No patience? You have to wait!" Cao Cao said domineeringly.
If Yuan Shao could defeat Gongsun Zan by himself, he would have done it himself, why wait until now?
"My lord, is it possible that Gongsun Zan is bluffing?" Yang Xiudao.
Bluffing?
This reminded Cao Cao.
"Send out all the scouts. I want to see what Gongsun Zan can rely on!" Cao Cao said.
"Yes, lord! I will go in person!" Xiahou Dun said.
"Okay, Yuan Rang, bring more people." Cao Cao said.
Xiahou Dun strode away.
"My lord, I'm afraid the scouts won't be able to detect anything in one day." Yang Xiudao.
Cao Cao had a serious face and did not look at Yang Xiu.
¡°Don¡¯t I know that I want you to talk too much?
In this way, Gongsun Zan made a confident decision, causing both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to be confused.
Even though he occupied a whole state, Gongsun Zan still regarded himself as a barefoot man. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
