In the third year of Chuping (the second year of Jian'an), Gongsun Zan plundered the Jizhou treasury all the way and returned to Youzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yuan Shao is to clean up the mess, return to Jizhou, and rectify state affairs. Since then, the two families have formed a feud and do not mention it.

Yuan Shao returned to Jizhou and summoned all the civil and military forces to discuss the matter, saying: "Today, the thieves and ministers are in turmoil, and the court is in turmoil." I have been favored for generations, and I will do my best to restore the Han Dynasty. However, Qi Huan cannot become a hegemon if he is not Yiwu, and he cannot survive without Fan Li. Now I want to work together with all the Qing to work together to ensure the safety of the society, how can I help it? Although in the name of reviving the Han Dynasty, but with Qi Huan and Ju Jian, the two Spring and Autumn overlords, Yuan Shao's ambition was exposed.

frustrated and advised, he said: "If the general is weak and crowns the dynasty, he will be famous in the sea; On the occasion of the abolition, it is loyal and righteous; Riding alone, Dong Zhuo is terrified; To the north of the Jihe River, it is the leader of the group. The pawn of Zhenyi County, the people of Jizhou, the mighty Heshuo, the name of the world. Although the yellow scarves are cunning and chaotic, Montenegro is dominant, if the army is raised to the east, the yellow scarves can be swept; If you also ask for Montenegro, Zhang Yan can be destroyed; If you return to the north, your grandson will be captured; If the shock is threatened, the Xiongnu can be established. The north of the Hengda River, the land of the four states, the collection of heroes, the millions of people, the Son of Heaven, the Fuzong Temple, the command of the world, the punishment of the unobeyed. Who can compete with this? Compared with several years, it is not difficult. ”

A few words made Yuan Shao's heart happy, and he said with great joy: "This is my heart." So he was appointed as the general of Fenwu and made him the guardian of the armies. With Tian Feng as the other driver, the trial is the middle of governance, and Guo Tu and others are engaged in it, which is very important. Jizhou contextual martial arts have their own rewards.

Liu Bei was in Qingzhou, and saw that the situation in the state was stable and the people lived in peace. Then he found Xun Yu and said: "Wen Ruo, there is nothing to do in Qingzhou today, I want to raise troops to attack Gongsun Du of Liaodong, but what?" ”

The soldiers were training in the camp one by one, and it was time to let them out and see the blood. Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, if this knife is not used for a long time, it will have to rust.

Xun Yu was stunned, although the situation in Qingzhou is very good, but Qingzhou's family background is still meager, as soon as this army moves, there is countless grain and grass, why did the lord suddenly think about using troops against Liaodong?

I saw Liu Bei and said: "I heard that Gongsun Du was brutal and unruly, and established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and the pastor of Pingzhou in Liaodong. He also posthumously sealed his father, worshiped the world in the suburbs, went in and out of the luan, and regarded the court system as nothing. A few years ago, he crossed the sea and I Donglai, and established a county without permission. What does he want to do? The big man hasn't died yet, so he wants to be the king and hegemon? On his heart, it is really dampenable! ”

Taking Gongsun Du is the result of Liu Bei's careful consideration. What he wants to do now is to show people the image of maintaining the rule of the Han Dynasty. Whoever dares to expose his ambitions and claim the title of king and hegemon, he will fight whomever he wants. In this way, on the one hand, it is possible to gather countless loyal ministers and righteous people who are dedicated to Han. On the one hand, it can also nip those careerists in the bud one by one. When no one dares to claim the king and hegemony in the world, and he is the only one left, it will be a matter of course. At that time, he didn't want to take another step forward, and the people below were afraid that they would push him away. This is the so-called general trend, don't you see the story of the yellow robe? What's more, since Gongsun Du came to attack Qingzhou, he had no remorse afterwards, and he took him under the knife, just to announce to the people of the world that Qingzhou cannot be committed, and his Liu Bei's majesty cannot be committed!

Xun Yu thought about it and felt that the crusade against Gongsun Du was not only conducive to maintaining the unity of the Han Dynasty, but also conducive to declaring the strength of Qingzhou and maintaining the stability of Qingzhou. It seems that you can't fight it. As for whether he won the fight, Xun Yu didn't think about it at all. He quickly estimated in his heart the money and food he would have to use. Then he said: "Lord, Liaodong has always been the land of Youzhou, if the lord crosses the sea to attack Liaodong, he must have a prophet to meet Liu Youzhou." ”

That's consent. Liu Bei smiled: "Wen Ruo doesn't need to worry, I will first send a letter to Gong Liu, Brother Bo Jue." If you get the help of Youzhou's troops, the two sides will attack, and Gongsun Du can be destroyed by turning his palm. ”

To be honest, Gongsun Du is also unlucky. Originally, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the princes were only concerned about how to protect themselves and calculate others. Who cares about a small Liaodong on the frontier? This is also the confidence of Gongsun Du to stir up the wind and rain in Liaodong. However, who made history turn a corner and let Liu Bei come to Qingzhou?

In February, Liu Bei led all the civil and military forces to inspect Tatecheng. The Yellow River flows into the sea from here. And Qingzhou once had a building ship unit, which was stationed here. However, in the last years of Emperor Ling, the world was in chaos and political corruption. Seeing that no one was in charge and that the army owed salaries for a long time, General Lou Chuan was ruthless, conspired with his subordinates, gritted his teeth and sold many small boats, and the big ships were also dismantled, and then set a fire, fraudulently caught fire, and absconded with his henchmen. So all traces were lost in a fire.

Liu Bei has already received replies from Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan. In the letter, Mr. Liu said he welcomed Mr. Liu's move. said that he had also proposed to Gongsun Zhan to crusade against Buchen. However, he was rejected by Gongsun Zhan. Since Xuande is interested, he should strongly support it. However, Youzhou is poor, grain, grass, money and food are scarce, and the army in his own hands is also limited. Only 3,000 people could be sent to Liaoxi to feint and contain it.

Seeing Liu Yu's letter, Liu Bei smiled helplessly. He believed that Liu Yu was telling the truth. According to the secret report. Because Qingzhou and Jizhou are in turmoil. Over the years, the money and grain sent from Qingzhou and Jizhou to Youzhou have been cut off. Of course, now Qingzhou and Jizhou are each in the hands of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, and now the road is smooth, and they will not be willing to ask the two of them to transfuse blood to Youzhou for free. I believe that Liu Yu also knows this. So, Liu Yu, who had no choice, opened a field in the upper valley of Youzhou and traded with foreign races. He also mined salt iron ore in Yuyang to subsidize government expenses. In this way, it barely survived.

Since there is an exchange of markets with foreign peoples, it is natural to reach a consensus on many aspects. Liu Yu is gentle, but Gongsun Chan is still martial. The two were in one army and one in government, and there has been a conflict since then. Liu Yu asked Gongsun Zhan not to rob the foreigners who came to Youzhou to trade in the market. Gongsun Chan also accused Liu Yu of not knowing the military and not knowing the hard work of the border generals to defend the frontier. If it weren't for the restraint of both sides, a fight would have started a long time ago. However, if Gongsun Chan wants to listen to Liu Yu for everything, it is also a fantasy. Therefore, Liu Yu said in the letter that he had limited troops or something, and Liu Bei believed it 10,000. It's not easy to be a state pastor to do this. Externally, it is necessary to reconcile the contradictions of various ethnic groups, and internally, Gongsun Chan is very difficult to control; Gongsun Du established himself and sealed the territory...... Thinking about it, Liu Yu has also been very bitter in the past few years.

Gongsun Chan also replied with a letter, which was full of apologies, saying that he couldn't help Xuande this time. Part of the military strength in his hands must be stationed on the frontier to prevent foreign races from making moves. The other part was planning to deal with Yuan Shao. suffered a loss in the hands of Yuan Shao, and this account has to be settled with him...... When Liu Bei saw this, he was speechless. Your grandson Boqi looted the county treasury of Jizhou along the way, which is called a loss, so how can Yuan Benchu deal with himself? The temperament of this senior brother is really strong.

However, Liu Bei was not so disappointed. There are Youzhou soldiers to help, but victory will come faster. Without the help of the soldiers of Youzhou, he will inevitably achieve a brilliant victory. I heard that Gongsun Du was in Liaodong, and he destroyed more than 100 families in Liaodong and amassed countless money. I am going to destroy Gongsun Du, but I am afraid that this war will make me fat. When the time comes, Brother Boju, don't regret it.

In Tatecheng, Liu Bei asked the generals: "Who are you who is proficient in water?" ”

When the generals heard this, they knew that this was going to be chosen. Going across the sea is not a joke. Crossing a river is nothing, and a storm at sea is much more terrifying than above a river. If there is no one who is proficient in water warfare, if one is not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

The generals looked at each other, only Tai Shici and Yan Yan stood up, hugged their fists and said: "Lord, the last general is deep and watery." ”

Tai Shi Ci grew up in Donglai, Yan Yan Jiu Zhenba County, all of them are used to playing with wind and waves. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and others all wanted to go on the expedition, but they were all landlubbers. Helplessly, he looked at Tai Shici and Yan Yan out of the ranks.

Liu Bei thought about it in his heart, Yan Yan and Tai Shici are both brave and talented, and they are watery. I don't think it will be a big problem to lead the army on the expedition. I had a plan in my heart, and I summoned the order of Tateshiro again. He was ordered to gather skilled shipwrights in the prefecture and plan to supervise the construction of sea vessels.

He had seen the original sailor's station, and there were still a few dilapidated ships parked in the harbor. However, although it was broken, it still surprised Liu Bei. The building ship is more than ten zhang high, the appearance is like a building, no wonder it is called the building ship.

However, this kind of ship, because it is too high and the center of gravity is unstable, is more suitable for inland water warfare, but not for naval warfare. Liu Bei asked in detail, this kind of ship is only occasionally used for offshore voyages to deliver supplies to Youzhou.

Liu Bei thought about it, since the shipbuilding technology at this time was so "developed", then someone must be able to build a sea ship, otherwise how could Gongsun Du come across the sea? He is not afraid of the wind and waves of the sea?

Liu Bei summoned the craftsman to ask, and then he understood that the seaside fishermen built their own boats were suitable for crossing the sea, not afraid of the wind and waves at sea. Liu Bei was very interested and went to Guanzhi. At a glance, I realized that although the size of the fishing boats at this time was far from the same, in terms of structure, it was not much different from later generations.

So Liu Bei asked the craftsman, if the fishing boat is used as a template and magnified several times, can it be built, and can its safety and resistance to wind and waves be guaranteed?

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Liu Bei led the civil and military forces back to Linjiang.

is going to send troops to fight against Gongsun Du, not that he said that he would fight today, and he could send troops tomorrow. There's a lot to prepare. The collection and reserve of money and rations, the manufacture of warships, the training and selection of soldiers...... Liu Bei himself estimated that even if it was a shipbuilding, the prepared old materials would be used, and if they were available, it was estimated that they would all have to go next year.

But he's not in a hurry, a year is really short. Then let Gongsun Du be in Liaodong and enjoy a few more good days.

In March, the news came. Zhang Wen, the captain of the guard, was falsely killed by Dong Zhuo in the city. Liu Bei sighed at the letter, and the old minister withered again.
