Chapter 682 Gongsun Zan goes south

----------..

When Gongsun Zan was appointed and removed from the prefect of Hanoi, he was completely shocked!

When he heard this news, Gongsun Zan's first reaction was that he was cowardly and was completely caught in the shooting! He stayed honestly in the easternmost part of Youzhou, and was missed by others when he let horses farm in the most marginal place of the Han Dynasty. Is there any reason for this?

Worried! Unwilling! And anger!

Gongsun Zan thought to himself that there seemed to be no one else who could find himself, a person who was so low-key that he was almost unrestrained, from the grassland except his neighbor Fang Zhiwen.

Liu Yu should be satisfied with the stability of Youzhou, and now there are signs of exercising efforts in the Yellow Turban Thief in Jizhou. Liu Yu needs to defend himself with all his strength. He will definitely not come to beat Gongsun Zan's back foot at this time. If Gongsun Zan leaves at this time, only Fang Zhiwen and Liu Yu will be left in Youzhou. According to the current strength comparison between the two sides, Liu Yu's fate is really worrying.

As for the other person who remembers Gongsun Zan, it is probably Liu Bei. However, when Gongsun Zan drove Liu Bei away, he almost broke up. So now Liu Bei would not think of taking him to the Central Plains to fight side by side with him because of some kindness. On the other hand, Liu Bei and Liu Yu are all family!

Of course, other possibilities are not missing, but Gongsun Zan still firmly believes that Fang Zhiwen is making trouble behind the scenes and wants to get himself away from the gradually improving Liaodong, where he manages, and then he will easily take away his territory. This move is really bad enough

However, the emperor who is far away from the Liaodong County Mountains is high and I just don’t obey the imperial edict, what can the emperor do to me? What if it really rebels?

Or maybe Fang Zhiwen’s purpose is to force himself to rebel, and then he has the right to be righteous to do it? However, in this reality in Youzhou, do you really need to find a right to be righteous? In fact, it should be more important to obtain Liu Yu’s approval!

When Gongsun Zan thought of this, he immediately understood that Liu Yu was the key to this matter. How could Liu Yu not know the impact on him after leaving Youzhou? Therefore, Liu Yu would not agree with Fang Zhiwen's approach. Will Fang Zhiwen forcefully implement this strategy despite Liu Yu's opposition?

On the other hand, although Yi Ren's focus has shifted south recently and his attention to Youzhou has been greatly weakened, Yi Ren's strength in Youzhou is still quite strong. Once a three-party war occurs in Youzhou, Yi Ren has no reason not to intervene, and Fang Zhiwen should also be worried!

So, isn’t this written by Fang Zhiwen? What is the intention of this edict? Who is behind the scenes?

Gongsun Zan is confused!

Since he couldn't figure it out, Gongsun Zan decided to gather his ideas, so he summoned all the main generals in Xiangping to see the gathering of the conference room, Gongsun Zan also felt a sense of accomplishment.

Gongsun Zan read out the edict sent by Yuan Shao to everyone, and then asked: "Everyone, what do you think of this edict?"

"Lord, this must be Fang Zhiwen's conspiracy. He knew that we would not accept the order, so he wanted to force us to rebel!"

Zou Dan's loud voice was really asking questions in the room, but his words won the support of the generals and everyone looked like they were united in the same hatred of the enemy. They were all excited and wanted to kill Fang Zhiwen and take a knife. In fact, if they really wanted to fight against Fang Zhiwen, they would probably all retreat!

Guan Jing stretched out his fingers and took out his ears, which were itchy, and looked at Gongsun Yue with caution. He found that Gongsun Yue was frowning and pondering, but he did not make trouble with these fools.

Gongsun Zan frowned, raised his hand and pressed it quietly, "Yingjing, say slowly, I know your opinions, Shiqi, what do you think about this?"

"Lord, do you think this is a conspiracy, too?"

"This... I thought so at first, but the more I thought about it, the more weird it became. I think I should communicate with Liu Bo'an?"

The generals immediately closed their mouths, as if this was not as simple as they thought. It was not good to speak randomly and express their opinions randomly.

Guan Jing nodded, turned his head to look at Gongsun Fan and said, "What news does the second general have?"

"There is no large-scale military mobilization in Fengning County and Changli County. In addition, news from the Central Plains said that this appointment should have been made by Yuan Shao, and the aristocratic tribes in the Central Plains seemed to have agreed. This matter...is very strange!"

Guan Jing nodded again, expressed his understanding, and then turned to Gongsun Zan and said, "Liu Yu did not take the initiative to contact his lord, because it was because Liu Yu was inconvenient to express his opinion. In terms of Liu Yu's selfishness, it should be that the lord should stay in Liaodong and fight against Fang Zhiwen with him, but in a broad sense, Liu Yu should support his lord to go south to the Central Plains."

Gongsun Zan frowned in confusion: "Great righteousness?"

"Yes, great righteousness! The great righteousness between imperial power and aristocratic races, the causes of the Central Plains War, have been discussed many times, and people have also discussed it. Most people tend to be a collision between the emperor and the aristocratic race. The emperor failed, but in the end, it was taken advantage of by Dong Zhuo. After losing the biggest threat of imperial power, the aristocratic camp split, and the Guanzhong aristocratic race turned to support Dong Zhuo to fight against the Guandong aristocratic race with greater power."

Gongsun Zan naturally knew about this. Even if he didn't know, he would just ask the people around him. It seemed that everyone could tell the story about the Central Plains. Gongsun Zan later learned that these views were spread from Yi Ren.

"Now Dong Zhuo retreated to Guanzhong, accumulates strength, watch the collapse of the Guandong clan, Yuan Shao's troops retreat to Jizhou. Although Yuan Shu controls Guandong and Yuzhou, there are Dingyuan Han Fu in the north and Liu Bei's tiger look back in the south. The Guandong clan is not in the same mind. At this time, someone proposed to let the lord go south to take charge of Hanoi, which is equivalent to inserting a shield between Dingyuan Han Fu and the Guandong clan, and tracing the origin, the lord should be barely considered a person in the aristocratic camp. Therefore, it is easier to accept the lord's command of Hanoi. More importantly, Yuan Shao needs his lord to disrupt the Central Plains, and at the same time can restrain Yuan Shao's enemy Han Fu, interfere with Yuan Shu's control of Sili, and block Ding Yuan's southward journey. There are so many benefits. I really can't think of the reason why Yuan Shao doesn't use his lord!"

Guan Jing's words seemed to tear open the foggy sunlight, making Gongsun Zan's eyes shine

"Shiqi said that this matter is actually what Yuan Shao meant?"

"Not necessarily, it may be the idea that Yuan Shao and Fang Zhiwen came up with. After all, if the lord goes south, the huge Liaodong and Xuantu will be cheaper in Fang Zhiwen!"

"How is it possible? We can leave our troops to guard the army. Could it be... Yan Gang immediately retorted, but the last sentence could not be said anymore. Gongsun Zan's strength is not strong enough to divide his troops to defend the three counties. Besides, Hanoi County is a place of four battles. If you don't need heavy troops, you won't make any profit. Of course, Gongsun Zan can choose not to go to Hanoi.

However, compared with Hanoi, the northeast of Liaodong is a bitter and cold wilderness, and the south and west are watched by Fang Zhiwen, which has no development at all. Even Fang Zhiwen can deal with Gongsun Zan and his gang at any time as long as he is willing. To put it nicely in Liaodong, it is like sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, but to put it badly, it is like being kept by Fang Zhiwen!

Therefore, Hanoi County now seems to be a dangerous place, but it is also a free place, a place where Gongsun Zan can fully utilize it. Even if he loses, he still has more choices and places to move. Compared with Liaodong County, it is a world of difference.

"Lord, it is impossible to divide the troops and defend. You can only concentrate your troops and make a difference. At this time, you are the most unstoppable!"

Guan Jing glanced at Yan Gang and said in a powerful voice.

"Brother, I agree with the saying of Shiqi. We must make a decision." Gongsun Yue surprised that he did not complain to Guan Jing, but agreed with Guan Jing's statement, which made Guan Jing feel flattered. However, Guan Jing was still very vigilant. Gongsun Yue was definitely not a generous person.

"Oh? How do I think the third brother should choose?"

"Brother, to put it bluntly, although it is considered its own territory in Liaodong, it is blocked by Fang Zhiwen both east and south of Liao. If it is to develop, there is no room for development. If it is to the northeast, there will be a bitter and cold place. The soldiers of Liaodong are working diligently, and they are just surviving. If Fang Zhiwen makes efforts, we may not be able to stop Miyun's cavalry."

Gongsun Zan's face looked a little ugly, but Gongsun Yue was telling the truth. The combined population of Xuantu County in Liaodong is less than 2 million, and it is distributed in a vast area. The development level of these areas is very low and the food cannot be sufficient. How can we talk about competing for dominance with Fang Zhiwen?

On the other hand, Fang Zhiwen not only has more than four million people, but the population is still growing. In addition, Fang Zhiwen controls the southbound sea and land trade, and the northbound trade also occupies a large part. After years of hard work, although the development area of ​​the Miyun and other cities is not large, the development degree of each city is very high. It is said that Lelang is now able to self-sufficient in grain and can also transport grain to Fengning. In addition, the cheap grain purchased from the southern sea route, Gongsun Zan feels that he has no victory.

"So, I think we should choose to go south. Although Hanoi County is also a dangerous place, there is no rope around our necks. We have greater room for play. With the elite soldiers of a hundred battles in our hands, it should be no problem to fight against the master soldiers of the Central Plains. In this way, maybe we can build a new world in the Central Plains."

Gongsun Yue finished his thoughts in one breath, then looked at Gongsun Zan quietly, waiting for Gongsun Zan's decision

Gongsun Zan turned his gaze to Guan Jing. Guan Jing did not dare to do anything at this time. This was a time when deciding his destiny. If he was abolishing his private affairs due to personal grudges with Gongsun Yue, Guan Jing would not dare to do so.

"I agree with the third general's opinion"

Gongsun Zan nodded silently, frowned and fell into deep thought. This was a decision related to fate, and Ai had to be very cautious!
