Chapter 407: Liu Yu's Death

A Zhao Zilong, can he compare to these things? Or, are these things comparable to a Zhao Zilong?!

Cao Cao is really a little confused about the gains and losses now! Of course, in addition to deterring the enemy, killing people also has another advantage, that is, they can completely snatch all the food.

Think about it when he was in Guangwei, Xi Zhicai made a calculation, if he robbed it all, it would be able to last for three months, but under normal circumstances, it is conservatively estimated that it can only last for one and a half months of food. And what about killing all the people in Guangwei? Not only will you get three months' worth of food, but you will also have untold wealth!

Maybe it's more brutal to say it, if Cao Cao hadn't made a move, then he wouldn't have made a move in the end, because he had to stick to the bottom line and maintain his reputation. But now that Cao Cao has already made a move, and he has been regarded as a tyrant, then Cao Cao's bottom line is gone, and in the case of forced to do so, in the case of lack of food and food, Cao Cao will definitely be able to make a pit and slaughter of the city again!

It seems that the retreat due to lack of food should not happen, so the only worry is within Yanzhou

At the same time, in the north of Youzhou,

Originally, Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan confronted each other in Jicheng, although Liu Yu couldn't attack for a long time, but as the attacking party, on the surface, he still had an advantage. As a result, on this day, Gongsun Chan gathered hundreds of elite warriors, set fire to the wind, and took advantage of the situation to raid. Liu Yu was defeated and fled north to Juyong County. Then Gongsun Zhan took advantage of the victory to pursue in one breath, and adopted the kind of onslaught strategy that Zhao Yun had suggested at the beginning, and the city could not withstand such strong pressure, and Juyong City was broken in three days. And Liu Yu was also captured alive by Gongsun Zhan.

Faced with this result, Yuan Shao, who had been watching the battle from the side, was stunned!

Nima! This Liu Yu is too angry! 100,000 troops. Take the initiative to attack! Even if you can't win, even if you lose. The counterattack is on the defensive, and it should last for at least a month! In that case, he Yuan Shao will be able to send troops to help rescue! Look at Tao Qian, who was defeated in Xiaopei first, and then in Pengcheng, but the result is not a little bit of persistence! Now that he has retreated to Xiapi, it is estimated that he will be able to hold it for at least half a year. Tao Qian's only concern is not the question of whether he can defend it, but the question of whether there are reinforcements.

And you, Liu Yu, don't have to worry about reinforcements at all, he Yuan Shao will definitely come to save you. But you only insisted on three days before the city was broken, what about hair! Three days is not enough for Yuan Shao to get the news of Liu Yu's defeat! In other words, when Yuan Shao got the news, whether he did it or not, it was already too late!

Miscalculation! What a miscalculation!

Yuan Shao was far from expecting that this Liu Yu would be even worse than Yuan Shu. To be honest, when he first saw Liu Yu raise an army of 100,000 to attack Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was worried that Gongsun Zhan would not be able to stop it. Because both the number of people and the opportunity. Including fame, official position, and momentum, Liu Yu is above Gongsun Zhan!

But I suddenly remembered the tripartite battle that happened just now, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao was worried if he was like Liu Biao. Go to Liu Yu's back to do a little bit of damage, so will Liu Yu be as uncompetitive as Yuan Shu and lose directly to Gongsun Zhan?

It is with this concern in mind. Yuan Shaocai did not move, so he did not make a move to help Gongsun Zhan, who looked like he was easily defeated. But now. Yuan Shao knew that he was wrong, he really overestimated Liu Yu. It turned out that the one who had been in need of help was not Gongsun Zhan, who was forced to be beaten, but Liu Yu, who had an army of 100,000 and took the initiative to attack others!

But now that you know you're wrong? It's already too late! It seems that the war between him Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan will not be able to tell the winner in a few years. Hey, the best opportunity for unification was wasted in vain.

Liu Yu was arrested, but Gongsun Chan did not kill him directly, but still let him be a puppet to manage the affairs of the state. Just in time for the imperial court to send an envoy Duan Xun to increase Liu Yu's fiefdom and put him in charge of the affairs of the six northern states. It seems that the imperial court, like many people, also thinks that Liu Yu, who has an army of 100,000, will be the victorious side.

As a result, he came to face such a situation, and he definitely caught the envoy Duan Xun off guard. However, now that the imperial court is in decline, even if it is a minister, in front of the princes, he can only be at his mercy. So Gongsun Zhan took the opportunity to worship as a former general, sealed Yihou, and supervised the four states of You, He, Qing and Hebei. And Gongsun Zhan also coerced the coercion Duan Xun to behead Liu Yu on the grounds that Liu Yu and Yuan Shao conspired to become emperor, and sent the head to Kyoto, but he was robbed and buried by Liu Yu's former official Weidun halfway.

Liu Yu was very popular in the north, and many people wept bitterly after his death.

Of course, Gongsun Chan is not without any public opinion offensive. For example, Liu Yu has always been known for his simplicity, and he didn't change his hat when it was old, and he put it on a patch and then wore it. When he was killed, Gongsun Chan sent troops to search his home, only to find that his wives and concubines were wearing very high-end clothes, and many people began to doubt Liu Yu's simple quality.

In fact, all of this is no longer important, whether it is true or not, Liu Yu is already dead anyway. What the people really care about is who can live better and who can feel more at ease. As long as Gongsun Chan himself does a good job, then Liu Yu's so-called popular will soon disappear, except for the die-hard subordinates under Liu Yu's command at the beginning.

The so-called trigger affects the whole body, and the changes in the situation in the north immediately lead to changes in all parties. First of all, the first to bear the brunt is naturally Yuan Shao, and it is impossible to sit firmly in Diaoyutai as before. Then there is the battle situation between Cao Cao and Tao Qian, once Gongsun Chan has his hands freed, there may be strong reinforcements coming over! Similarly, there is a reaction within Yanzhou.

When everyone's attention was on Gongsun Zhan's side, when Cao Cao was worried about whether Gongsun Chan would vigorously rescue Tao Qian, it was a good time for Yanzhou to quietly "change the flag"!

On the other side,

"Oops, I didn't expect such a sudden change. Cao Cao made such a crazy move, but we have enough reasons to send troops. You Heng spoke.

"But we can't beat it!" Kong Rong shouted in surprise, in fact, Kong Rong is also the same as Liu Yu, he is a standard literati, and he is not good at using soldiers, and now seeing the consequences of Liu Yu, Kong Rong is even more afraid to fight. Originally, I thought that it was not like that, and it was not that he Kong Rong had never beaten the Yellow Turban Thief. Nowadays, it seems that the gap between people is quite large. Those who are good at using soldiers, even if there is a big gap on the surface, can easily defeat those who are not good at using soldiers.

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight! We must grasp this righteousness, especially the Lord of Beihai is still the descendant of Confucius! You Heng said.

"That's right, then it's better to send troops!" Kong Rong suddenly decided, but although he said so, in fact, Kong Rong was still a little worried and afraid, so he just planned to make such an attitude, as long as he occupied the righteousness, and he didn't plan to really use much force.
