Chapter 2 is like facing the abyss, and in the twenty-eighth section, the generals looked at Yang Feng's foot and secretly shocked themselves. Even if Gongsun Zhan didn't have any crimes, didn't lead the army south, and didn't occupy the heart of Jizhou, he would die.

Liu Yu respected the current son and opposed the re-establishment of the imperial system, but because Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials used his clan status and some ridiculous words to support him as the emperor, he was pushed into the battle for imperial unity and pushed to a dead end.

In the contemporary era where the Wei Wei is prevalent, one is not the Son of Heaven but has it

For the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, the person who is lucky enough to be the "true Son of Heaven" means usurpation and rebellion, and this kind of person cannot be left behind under any circumstances.

Liu Yu if because

If he is killed for the crime of "rebellion", his protégés will be purged. So although Liu Yu didn't want to be the emperor, his protégés didn't necessarily think so.

Yuan Shao and the state and county officials of the Dong Alliance strongly advocated the deposition of Dang Jinzi and the rebuilding of the imperial system because they slandered that Dang Jinzi was not from the first emperor, so they were in opposition to Dang Jinzi and the imperial court.

If they can't rebuild the imperial system, what awaits them will be the disaster of the Nine Clans, so they will definitely not give up, and they will also look for an opportunity to support Liu Yu as the emperor.

Gongsun Zhan, as Liu Yu's former official and the commander of the Youzhou Army, appeared in the field of vision of the imperial court at this time.

Li Hong sent Liu Yu back to Youzhou at that time because he was worried that Gongsun Zhan would support the army and make a rebellion. After Liu Yu returned, the court was worried that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan would support their own troops and establish themselves as emperors.

With the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao drove Han Fu away to occupy Jizhou, and the imperial court was worried that Yuan Shao would take advantage of the situation, so he united with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Dai and other state and county officials to forcibly push Liu Yu to the throne.

In short, Liu Yu's existence is an obstacle to the revitalization of the community. The ministers of the DPRK and China all knew in their hearts that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, like Yuan Shao and some state and county officials, would be killed sooner or later.

But because of the special relationship between the hussar general Li Hong and the Taifu Liu Yu, no one wants to say anything. Now that Li Hong is in charge himself, this question is immediately put in front of him.

If the imperial court wants to respect today's son and revitalize the Han Dynasty, it must first kill the rebels of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance.

Whether it is a person who holds the Son of Heaven hostage, a person who threatens to depose the Son of Heaven and slander the Son of Heaven, or a person who threatens the throne of the Son of Heaven, it is a capital crime and must be killed.

There is no room for discussion, and it is better to kill early than late. Secondly, if the imperial court wants to take the land of Hebei as the foundation for revitalization, the stability of the land of Hebei is the top priority.

As there are many hidden dangers in Youzhou that may affect this stability, we must solve all of them in the early stage of Hebei's stability, so as to avoid raising tigers in the future and revitalizing the great cause of failure.

Now Gongsun Chan has gone south. Yuan Shao wanted to occupy Luoyang and consume the strength of Northern Xinjiang because of his hegemony, so he deliberately fell out with Gongsun Zhan, sent a request for help to the imperial court, and introduced the Northern Xinjiang Army into Jizhou.

Yuan Shao wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and Li Hong also wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and both of them aimed at Gongsun Zhan. If Gongsun Zhan didn't go south, he stayed in Youzhou with Liu Yu, and even helped Li Hong occupy Jizhou, drive away Yuan Shao, and then support his own troops like various prefectures and counties, forming a certain threat to the imperial court, and the imperial court and Li Hong really couldn't do anything about them in a short time.

But now it is different, because Gongsun Chan went south, the Youzhou army defeated the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was pinned down by the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro in the southwest of Jizhou, and the situation in the entire Hebei suddenly changed dramatically.

Li Hong immediately decided to do it immediately. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, fleeting and not to be hesitated.

Li Hong and Liu Yu have the love of the old master, and the brotherhood of Gongsun Zhan, but at this moment, in the face of the precarious Northern Xinjiang and Sheji, he can't take care of it.

As long as it is possible to endanger the security of the northern Xinjiang and the revitalization of the imperial court, they must be killed, and everything that may happen in connection with it must be resolutely eliminated in the expected and embryonic state.

This ruthless decision reminded him of the fact that the court and ministers in Luoyang wanted to kill him in the past.

In the past, those ministers wanted to kill themselves because they might endanger society in the future, but today why don't they treat others like those ministers of the court in the past?

Li Hong is absolutely very sad and helpless, he is no longer his past self at all. Li Hong also took into account that the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army might be very confused about the attack on Gongsun Zhan, especially after Gongsun Chan recruited many Yellow Turban Army troops.

So he specially wrote a secret letter to Lu Yi and Yang Feng, explaining in detail the reasons behind it.

Li Hong instructed the two to explain clearly to the generals at the appropriate time. The current situation is very different from last year and the year before, and many things can no longer be measured and handled according to common sense and law.

All the actions of the army must be based on the premise of defending and revitalizing the community, and under this premise, whatever the army does and what conquest actions it takes, it is in accordance with the law.

Li Hong asked the generals not to have any scruples, let it go, in the future, you will all be the ministers of Zhongxing of my Han Dynasty, and you will all be famous through the ages.

Lei Chong was born in a bitter cold, although he has been promoted quickly in the past few years, he has been in the army, and like many generals of the Yellow Turban Department, he knows little about other things except for faithfully carrying out the military orders of the Shangguan.

Yang Feng took the trouble to say a lot today, but for Lei Chong, he couldn't understand what was behind these military affairs.

He only had two impressions in his mind, one was that the Northern Xinjiang Army was going to fight on two battlefields at the same time, and the main purpose was to seize Jizhou, and the other was that he beat Gongsun Zhan not because he was guilty, but because he followed the wrong person and stayed in the wrong place, and he had to die if he didn't die.

Lei Chong was secretly glad that he didn't follow the wrong person. Now no matter who stays in Youzhou to command the army, as long as it is not someone who is absolutely loyal to the general, he will die.

What heavenly principles and laws, it's all bullshit, you are in my way, even if you are a brother, I will cut you down.

Reason? Don't have any reason, I say you're a dreadlock, you're a braid, I say I'm going to kill you, don't have a reason.

If you really want to talk about the reason, it is because my fist is bigger than you, the official is bigger than you, and the power is greater than you, and this is the reason.

After Yang Feng finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked around, signaling to the generals to have questions. Lei scratched his head and asked, "My lord, after we finished beating Gongsun Zhan, should we turn around and beat Yuan Shao again?" ”

"If we can completely defeat Gongsun Chan around April, the army will attack Yuan Shao immediately." Yang Feng shook his head and said,

"But this is too difficult, first, we are affected by the war situation in Kansai, and the situation in Kansai and Kanto will directly determine whether we can successfully occupy Jizhou. Second, the current situation is changing too fast, and in the past two years, every month has been the same, and the imperial court, like us, cannot accurately predict what will happen in the next month. Therefore, next year, our goal can only be to do everything possible to stabilize the land of Hebei, and take other things one step at a time. The generals nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Yi pointed to Wang Dang, Sun Qin, and Xu Huang: "What questions do you three have?" Is there any doubt about the decree of the imperial court? Can Gongsun Chan fight? ”

"As soon as the adults say this, we will know it in our hearts." The king made amends with a great grin,

"Take Jizhou, kill Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, this land of Hebei is our territory. In the future, as long as the displaced people and the Yellow Turban Army have no way out, they can come to Hebei to avoid disasters and live a stable life. This battle is not only to be fought, but also worth dying. Koji Yi frowned.

"What do you call our territory? This is Dahan Jiangshan and Dahanzhou County, what are you talking nonsense? Sun Qin and Xu Huang also surrendered their hands to make amends.

Sun Qin said with a smile: "The lower officials follow the general closely and will never be the second Gongsun Zhan." Xu Huang was expressionless, and said a few words of respecting the will of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and obeying the general's military orders, and then stood silently to the side, preoccupied.

The social turmoil and the complexity of the situation have far exceeded the scope of his cognition, which makes him at a loss.

I feel like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and I can't see the slightest prospect at all.

There is still a day of revitalization for the community, and a day for the people to live in peace? On the east bank of the Mache River, the rebel general's camp.

Gongsun Chan held Li Hong's letter in his hand and stood at the door of the big tent, looking at the gray sky, and his heart was gloomy.

This letter was sent by Koji Yi. Li Hong talked about the friendship in the past in the letter, I still owe Brother Bo Si a drink, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely invite you to get drunk and rest.

But then Li Hong's words changed, half persuading and half threatening, and asked Gongsun Zan to immediately lead the army back to Youzhou. Of course, Gongsun Zhan was unwilling to turn his face with Li Hong at this time and start a war with the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Although he urgently needed to take Jizhou, in the face of the powerful Li Hong and the Northern Xinjiang Army, he really did not have much certainty of victory.

It's easy to say that if you win or evenly, once you lose, then there is nothing. Behind him, Tian Kai, Gongsun Fan, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, Liu Bei and others were also arguing fiercely.

Tian Kai and Liu Bei unanimously opposed fighting the Northern Xinjiang Army. Behind the Northern Frontier Army is the eldest princess, the imperial court, and the hussar general, fighting against the Northern Frontier Army, just like fighting with the Northern Army of the imperial court, first fell into the passivity of righteousness.

In the past two years, whether in the Kanto or the Kansai, it has won many battles and rarely lost results.

Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and Cao Cao were all defeated by the Northern Xinjiang Army. This battle cannot be fought. Liu Bei analyzed in detail many unfavorable factors for his side.

The army fought fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army continuously, and the soldiers were very tired. The 100,000 soldiers recruited from the Yellow Turban Army captives had not been repaired, and the morale of the army was extremely unstable.

Although we have won over some people's hearts with money, after all, these people are all ant thieves who have been burning and looting for two years, and they may rebel at any time, and there is even a danger of rebellion.

The army was seriously short of food, grass and ordnance. Although we have captured a large amount of grain and grass from the Yellow Turban Army, the number is really limited and cannot support the needs of the army of more than 100,000.

In addition, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who accompanied the army were basically displaced people who followed the Yellow Turban Army in the past to fight in the south and north, and they also needed food, and we could not afford to supply it for the time being.

It will take at least a month for the situation to improve. A month later, the armies that had seized the two counties of Bohai and Hejian would send food and ordnance one after another.

But even then, food and ordnance were far from sufficient. We will have nearly 130,000 troops, a number that is too large for us to raise.

And the most important reason, what if we lose? Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhan and stopped talking.

In the past few years, he has wandered around and fought many battles, but he has never been in one place for more than a year.

This time, relying on Gongsun Zhan's strong strength, he thought that his fate could be changed, but who knew that Gongsun Chan suddenly decided to drive away Yuan Shao and capture Jizhou.

Gongsun Zhan's decision surprised him. But if you think about it carefully, although Gongsun Zhan's move is amazing, it is also a helpless move, and it can even be said to be a wise move.

Youzhou is barren and homeless, if Gongsun Chan goes back again, not to mention what he has done, it will be a problem to survive in the future.

If there is a big chaos today, Yuan Shao swaggered away and drove Han Fu away to establish himself as the pastor of Jizhou, and Liu Biao secretly ran to Xiangyang to say that he was the assassin of Jingzhou.

And Cao Cao relied on Yuan Shao's words to kick Wang Qiu away and made himself the Taishou of Dongjun.

The hussar general was even more arrogant, stretched out his hand to Yuzhou, and beat Sun Jian, Xu Ling, Zhou Ang and others out of Yangzhai City.

Since these world-shattering bigwigs can ignore the people of the society and do whatever they want unscrupulously, why can't Gongsun Zhan, who has made great achievements in the world?

Should he nest in that barren place in Youzhou and guard the frontier? Liu Bei is unfair for Gongsun Zhan, and he is also unfair for himself.

When I met Li Hong, he was a school captain, and he was Cao Peng, a soldier of Pingyuan County. What now?

Now Li Hong is a hussar general, and his official is getting smaller and smaller, just a county lieutenant of a county government.

Thinking about it, I have fought a lot of battles in the past few years, and I have no merit and hard work, and I don't have the luxury of being a general, and it's almost the same to be a captain with 2,000 stones, right?

But the reality is brutal. Nowadays, the world is getting more and more powerful, and everyone is not relying on merit to get promoted, nor is it spending money to buy officials, but to see whose fists are hard to grab officials.

Whoever has the strength and who can grab a piece of land will be rich and powerful, and now even the leader of the Yellow Turban Army knows that he has made himself a general.

Let's fight. He is humble and light, and he doesn't have any strength, so he can't speak at all in the Youzhou army, if it weren't for Gongsun Zan to give face, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the big tent.

If Gongsun Chan really defeats Jizhou, he can at least be an official with 2,000 stones, and maybe he can take the opportunity to borrow thousands of soldiers and horses from Gongsun Chan to kill him back to Pingyuan County, and he will also get a Taishou to do it.

Even if you seal yourself, it's too much of a guard. With the territory and strength, Gongsun Zan and himself are qualified to talk to Dong Zhuo, Li Hong, and Yuan Shao about the world's major events to save Sheji and save the common people.

However, things suddenly broke out again, and the Northern Frontier Army suddenly appeared in front of them like a leopard that had been hidden for a long time.

The importance of Jizhou to the north of Xinjiang is self-evident, Li Hong has not had the eldest princess sitting in Jinyang in the past two years, without the fetters of the two world-known edicts of the first emperor, and without the containment of Dong Zhuo and Luoyang, it is estimated that he would have already revealed his hideous face, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed Jizhou in one bite.

Liu Bei keenly felt that Gongsun Zhan, a white horse that was not inferior to the ducks, crashed headlong into the leopard's hunting area under the temptation of Yuan Shao's old fox.

Gongsun Chan is in danger. Gongsun Zhan turned around, pointed at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande, tell me, what if we are defeated?" Liu Bei pointed to the map and said helplessly: "Look, my lord, now we are in front of the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Jizhou Army, to the south is the Yellow River, and to the north are the two counties of Bohai and Hejian, but because the time is too tight, we have not yet fully controlled the two counties of Bohai and Hejian." Therefore, if defeated, the only way for adults to retreat is to withdraw to Youzhou. Liu Bei suggested that Gongsun Zhan immediately stop, and the hussar general, Yuan Shaoxu, sat down to talk about the future of Jizhou, and then took advantage of this opportunity to immediately send troops north to control the two counties of Bohai and Hejian.

At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the Yellow River had not yet been frozen and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had just been defeated, it immediately sent troops to cross the river to the south and capture the northern counties of Qingzhou.

"If we can defeat the Yellow Turban Army in a few months, capture the four counties of Pingyuan, Jinan, Le'an and Qi, and even take the two counties of Jibei and Taishan in Yanzhou. Adults can not only make more meritorious deeds and get more money, food and counties, but also quickly change the battlefield situation, control the initiative on the battlefield, and be invincible in both advance and retreat. Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai, Guan Jing and others crouched around the map and nodded again and again.

Gongsun Chan praised loudly: "Xuande, this method is good, great." Li Hong and Yuan Shao joined forces, not only did the army have a large number of troops, but also plenty of food and grass, and it was difficult for us to defeat them in a hurry. We do need time, and a hard fight is a dead end. ”

"If we go north to occupy the two counties of Bohai and Hejian now, and defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the south to occupy the northern counties of Qingzhou, then by next spring, we will have the strength to compete with the Northern Xinjiang Army and the Jizhou Army. Four months later, we had not only enough strong troops, food, grass and ordnance, but also enough counties. ”

"If we win next year, we will be able to ask King Dong Qin and save Sheji. If we lose the war, we will go north with one army and one force to the south, relying on the two counties of Hejian and Bohai in Jizhou, the plain of Qingzhou and several counties in Jinan, to reorganize our army, flank the north and south, and hold on to our existing territory. Gongsun Chan smiled happily,

"Even if we are completely defeated by Li Hong, we can still retreat north to Youzhou, or retreat south to Qingzhou. But no matter where we retreat, we can regroup and start all over again. ”

"Good way." Gongsun Chan exerted his strength on the case, his face was bright, and he swept away the frustration and worry just now.

"Xuande, I said a long time ago that as long as you and my brothers work together, we will be able to build a world-shattering career, haha......"

"So what do we do next?" Tian Kai asked,

"Do you want to send someone to make peace with Koji Yiyan immediately?"

"No, ......" Guan Jing shook his hand,

"You have to fight, and you have to beat it hard." Guan Jing believes that looking at what Li Hong has done in the past two years, he is actually the same as Dong Zhuo, one holds the Son of Heaven and the court hostage, and the other relies on strong force to dominate northern Xinjiang. Taifu Liu Yu was forced back to Youzhou, it must be Li Hong's trick, he was worried that the lord would monopolize the military and political affairs of Youzhou, and his strength would increase dramatically, which would affect his ambition to dominate the northern Xinjiang and usurp the Han Dynasty.

Li Hong's force is too strong, although there are only more than 20,000 troops in the direction of Jizhou, including Liyi, Zhang Yan, and Yang Feng, there are still tens of thousands of cavalry troops outside the Saiwai, and once he sees that our strength is too strong next spring, we may not be able to defeat him if he draws a large army from outside the Saizhou to the south.

Therefore, we must now attack with all our strength and consume the strength of the Northern Frontier Army as much as possible. At the same time, our determination and momentum to attack Jizhou can also shock Li Hong and Yuan Shao, and we will definitely be able to get more benefits from them when we negotiate peace.

“

"It's going to be fought." Gongsun Chan said,

"We divided our troops to the north, and we needed food, grass and ordnance to go south, but we didn't have much reserves on hand. If these 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers can die half of them in the battle of Panhe, the grain, grass and ordnance will be saved. In addition, the army going north and south must use our original Youzhou army, as soon as the main force leaves, the strength to monitor the Yellow Turban soldiers will be insufficient, if these Yellow Turban soldiers suddenly rebel, it will be troublesome, so this battle of Panhe must be fought, the more fierce the fight, the better. We don't care about the cost, we don't care how many people die, but the losses of the Northern Frontier Army are quite amazing. Gongsun Zhan's face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"They killed my brother, how can they not take revenge?"

"Die too much, the morale of the Yellow Turban is ......" Liu Bei couldn't bear it, and persuaded in a low voice,

"Let's stop in moderation."

"Morale?" Gongsun Chan sneered,

"The more you die, the greater the hatred, and next year the Northern Frontier Army will wait to die. Also, there are many battles, especially with the Northern Xinjiang Army, and those surviving Yellow Turban soldiers will soon become warriors who are not afraid of death and become the main force of our Youzhou Army. I think ten days and a half of playing here is comparable to training them for a year. Guan Jing praised: "My lord has a point. In my opinion, if we go crazy, the Northern Frontier Army will definitely retreat in order to reduce casualties. Guan Jing pointed to the map and analyzed the possibility that the Northern Xinjiang Army might fall into two or even three battlefields in the next few months.

"Yuan Shao is a fox, don't expect him to help Li Hong, it's good if he doesn't give Li Hong a knife in the back. Therefore, the situation next year is very complicated, and Li Hong is very likely to suffer from several sieges, and he will retreat to northern Xinjiang in desperation. Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "Shiqi is reasonable. The possibility that we will capture Jizhou next year is indeed very large, but the premise is that we must have enough strength and room for maneuver, so as not to be calculated by Li Hong, Yuan Shao and others. Then he looked at the people present, and suddenly smiled mysteriously,

"After we take Jizhou, the top priority is to pacify the world and revitalize the Han Dynasty. The land of Hebei is the foundation of Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Sheji, we have the foundation of Zhongxing Sheji, and then ...... "Guan Jing comprehended the divine understanding, twisted his beard and chuckled,

"Then we need a true son of destiny to lead us to build Zhongxing again." Tian Kai, Yan Gang, Shan Jing, Gongsun Fan, Zou Dan and others laughed together as if they had known about it for a long time.

Liu Bei suddenly thought of Liu Yu, and couldn't help but be shocked, but there was no expression on his face, and he looked around blankly.

The next day, Yan Gang took 3,000 people north to Bohai County. Gongsun Fan led 3,000 people north to the Hejian Kingdom.

Tian Kai and Liu Bei led an army of 10,000 to the south of Pingyuan County and attacked Qingzhou. Gongsun Zhan asked Guan Jing to write a crusade against Yuan Shao, listing the ten major crimes of his troubles and disturbing the society, and asked people to take them to various places to post and spread them, and sent a copy to Lu Yi as his reply letter.

Lu Yi, Yang Feng, Fu Zhi and others were furious, and on the one hand, they urgently reported to Li Hong and Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, they ordered the army to prepare for battle.

On the third day, Gongsun Chan ordered his guards to pull two carts of money and silk, and a large number of treasures arrived at the camp of the Maji River and placed them under the big camp.

Gongsun Chan told the soldiers to take the head of a northern Xinjiang sergeant, or the ears of two northern Xinjiang sergeants, and return with a reward of 500.

If ten or more people are killed, fifty acres of land will be rewarded. Those who kill more than 50 people not only have money and land, but also have the post of military Sima.

The morale of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army was suddenly like a rainbow, and the murderous spirit was soaring. Gongsun Zhan immediately personally commanded the army to force the crossing of the Mache River and launched a fierce attack on the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Song Jiahe, the camp of the general of the town army. Before the start of the war, Wu Lie Zhonglang General Wen Chou, who was responsible for the frontal blockade, sent people to ask for help.

There were too many Youzhou troops, about 30,000 people, and they launched a stormy attack on the west bank of the Mache River from the surface of the attack river that was a mile long.

Due to the long defensive surface, the strength of 6,000 soldiers was a little thin, although the weapons were excellent, and the soldiers fought bravely, but they could not withstand such attrition.

Wen Chou said in the letter asking for help that Gongsun Zhan had sent the Yellow Turban to a pawn and drove them across the river in a whole way, and the Maji River had been filled with corpses, but the Youzhou army was still stubbornly attacking.

If this continues, the 6,000 people of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not be able to stop it even if they are all finished. Wen Chou finally said, I have been fighting for many years, and I met a madman for the first time.

I want a strong bow, I want a ballista, I want support. Ko Yi and Yang Feng were very surprised. Fu Zhu said indifferently: "Gongsun Zhan, that madman has a lot of people, but I have a lot of arrows, although the two adults ordered, I will immediately send someone to send it over." Koji Yi did not dare to be careless, and ordered Ding Bo to rush to support with two thousand men and a large number of ordnance.

At noon, Wang Dang, who defended the Duma River, Sun Qin, and Han Qiong, who defended the old Zhao Niuhe, also sent people to ask for help.

"Gongsun Zhan, what is the wrong tendon?" Koji shook his head and scolded,

"An army of 100,000 is attacking from three places at the same time, and he wants to fight in one day?" Yang Feng looked up at the sky outside the big tent,

"He doesn't seem to want snow on this day, why is he in such a hurry? Is he without food and grass? ”

"Hehe......" Feng Ji said with a smile,

"Did he know about you killing Gongsun Yue?" Yang Feng glared at him, eager to give him a slap,

"What about killing? Don't say that Gongsun Chan has 100,000 people, even if there are 200,000 people, I can kill them all. In the afternoon, the heralds reported that the Maji River had been lost.
