Although Mao Zong was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Gongsun Zan. When Gongsun Zan heard that he had come from Liu Bei, he immediately jumped up and cursed: "That unbelievable beast, do you still believe him?"

Mao Zong was puzzled and asked why. Gongsun Zan cursed and said, and finally he said it was just that Liu Bei was ungrateful. He helped Liu Bei gain a foothold in the Liaodong vassal state, and even the thousand cavalry that began were given by him. Before he fought with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei promised to come and help, but he did not see Liu Bei until he was defeated by Yuan Shao. Later, he retreated to Liaoxi and contacted Liu Bei again, but he didn't even understand the news. The messengers sent were either dizzy back by Liu Bei or lost inexplicably. Otherwise, they would talk to Liu Bei, and they would say that Liaodong is in difficulty now and they really don't have the ability to help him recover Zhuo County.

Looking at Gongsun Zan who was a little incoherent, Mao Zong sighed secretly. Is this the proud Gongsun Zan the year? Before he came, Liu Bei had already told him all these situations. The situation was that Gongsun Zan lost most of the Youzhou and was not convinced. He insisted that Liu Bei send troops from Liaodong to help him and Yuan Shao to fight again. The war was not that easy. Not only did he have to recruit troops, but he also had to collect food. There were less than 20,000 households and 100,000 people in Liaodong. How could he be able to support a tens of thousands of troops? Besides, the Wuhuan people were forced to rebel by Gongsun Zan and often invaded the border. It was difficult for Liaodong to defend itself, and they had no spare energy to help Gongsun Zan recover Zhuo County. Besides, Liu Bei did not send troops, but just advised him to wait and calm down. He shouted, saying that Liu Bei had let him down. He also sent troops to attack Liaodong. If it weren't for his insufficient troops and was rejected by Liu Bei in Yushui, Liu Bei had already been killed by him.

Mao Zong was hard to say these words, so he had to comfort him softly. Finally, he took out the imperial edict from the court and Lu Zhi's handwritten letter. What do you think? Do you still have the power to attack Yuan Shao?

Gongsun Zan respectfully accepted the edict and letter, and his eyes rolled, "What are the benefits of Liu Bei returning to the royal family?"

"The official is restored to his post, General Left."

Gongsun Zan asked again: "Is that Liu Bei listened to me, or am I listening to Liu Bei?"

Mao Zong was silent for a moment. The original edict was Liu Bei's return to the royal family. His position had not changed, and he was still the commander of the Liaodong vassal state. Of course, he had to listen to the left general Gongsun Zan. But now the situation has changed. Gongsun Zan, the left general, only two counties in western Liaoning, were too weak to mention, but Liu Bei occupied Liaodong, Liaodong vassal state and Xuantu. It would be unrealistic to let him listen to Gongsun Zan again. What's more, they were already making trouble and could not cooperate anymore.

"You hit yours, he hits hiss."

"What do you mean to hit me? He hit him?" Gongsun Zan became angry. "You make it clear. Who listens to whom? Is it necessary to divide the troops in just half of Youzhou?"

"Brother Bo Gui, why do you care about these things now?" Mao Zong couldn't help it, "Your soldiers are less than a thousand now, so I'm sure I'll let Xuande listen to you? If you want him to listen to him, you will definitely disagree. I suggest you divide your troops and do your own things. You are already arbitrarily speaking. Report to the court. What will he do if Your Majesty knows your situation? You are not even the left general."

Gongsun Zan was speechless by Mao Zong, but refused to admit his mistake and just sneered.

"Okay, Brother Bo Gui, listen to my advice. As you said, half of Youzhou is, what is the whole Youzhou? How long can he occupy Liaodong for the world be about to be pacified? Let me tell you the truth, if Deran's identity is not special, how can you take action? He will be able to achieve full success in one or two years at most. When we meet with our fellow disciples, what will you have to meet him? Now the emperor gives you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. No matter how big or small the merits are, as long as you can participate in it, you will have the wealth you deserve in the future. You will still be entangled in these small things and spread to Luoyang. Wouldn't it be a damaging Mr.'s face? Even I, a useless person, feels lost on my face."

Mao Zong jumped and cursed Gongsun Zan to a shame. Finally, he could not help but agree to Mao Zong's suggestion, and Liu Bei went out to sea. He worked with Zhao Yun to strive to take back Youzhou.

Mao Zong was breathing heavily when he scolded. Fortunately, Gongsun Zan lowered his head, and even though he had not wasted his efforts, he said goodbye to Gongsun Zan with satisfaction, and returned to Qingzhou by boat to report to the emperor and Lu Zhi.

...

Jiangling, Jingzhou Governor's Office.

Liu Xiu sat opposite Yuan Shu and played chess. Yuan Shu's leg was stabbed by Zhang Fei, which was damaged by his muscles and bones. He was considered disabled. He was captured by Liu Xiu in a battle. All his ambitions seemed to go with the wind and became a prisoner honestly. However, his prisoner lived a good life. Liu Xiu did not send him to Luoyang to be chopped off his head and stayed in Jiangling on the pretext of curing his injuries. Occasionally, Liu Xiu came to play chess with him. Yuan Shu was an unstoppable person. He had no intention of playing chess, but now he was unable to move, so he had to use this as a pleasure. Liu Xiu's chess skills were also stinking. No one said to each other and was happy.

"I said, I must go to drink the night Zhang Yide got married." Yuan Shu dropped the chess piece on the chess board with a bang, shaking the chess board, and every chess piece was jumping.

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes: "Do you want to cheat again? Is it necessary to play chess so much force?"

Yuan Shu grinned and said, "I'm cheating? You saw it with one eye, I'll tell you, I'll win this game, at least five eyes."

"I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. When did you win my five eyes?"

"This time." Yuan Shu said confidently, then another son, and then smiled: "Because I found that you were restless today, I want to seize the opportunity to make a comeback."

"Turn again, which eye did you see that I was restless?" Liu Xiu whispered him angrily, calm on the surface, but was shocked in his heart.

"No need to see, in fact, I will know that you didn't send me, a traitor, to Luoyang and let the emperor behead him." Yuan Shu grinned proudly: "How about it, it feels good to be suspicious of the emperor?"

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes, slowly put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess box, and sat upright. He stared at Yuan Shu for a long time without saying anything. Yuan Shu was not nervous, and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile: "There is no turning back, right? Do you regret it?"

"Do you regret it?" Liu Xiu retorted: "If I weren't so anxious to kill me, now I might be your prisoner."

"No regrets. Since I lost, I will admit defeat." Yuan Shu also put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and was silent for a moment. He smiled a little lost and said, "If I can't even fight you, how can I beg you to the opponent of my concubine's son? This is also good. I will keep you strong and let you two fight." He smiled and suddenly said, "I beg you for something."

"You beg me? It's really not easy."

"To be honest," Yuan Shu said seriously: "If you have the chance, you can clean up him well for me, and it's best to make him worse than me."

"Why?"

"It's nothing. I just can't stand his fake aloof look." Yuan Shu lowered his head and picked up his chess piece from the chessboard: "Come on, come on another game."

Liu Xiu looked at him, said nothing, and reached out to pick up his chess pieces. After a moment, he asked again: "You are a prisoner, why should you go to drink?"

"Prisoners or something. You don't care, I don't care." Yuan Shu patted his injured leg: "Zhang Fei, this guy, ruined one of my legs and snatched my woman. I'll go ask for a glass of wine, can't it be okay?"

"Okay." Liu Xiu couldn't help laughing. "But you can't make trouble, otherwise I'll break your other two legs."

"Besides, you are really like a pair of teachers and students, who are as cruel as you. If you don't have one leg, you will completely turn me into a disabled person?"

"Only by being honest, you can have a peaceful life. If you want to have trouble, you have to show your skills." Liu Xiu left a son and said lightly.

"Hehe, I don't have the capital to compete with you now, I'm honest. But it's not easy for you to be honest." Yuan Shu sighed deliberately, "You said you were Han Xin or Peng Yue in the end? I heard that kid is not simple, he will win over people at a young age. Oh, by the way, this kid was taught by you, but he is as treacherous as you. I don't know who will win in the end when you are a teacher-student contest."

"Who will win, it's all your business?"

"Of course it's related." Yuan Shu said with confidence, but gloating: "You win, I still have a good life. If that kid wins, he will definitely cut off my head and hang it at the city gate for public display. Do you think it has nothing to do with me?"

Liu Xiu was a little impatient: "Are you playing chess or talking? If you don't play again, I'll leave."

When Yuan Shu saw Liu Xiu angry, he laughed loudly and asked while making a move: "Oh, let me ask you something, is that kid your seed? Don't tell me those blood tests that are not regulated. I've known that it was a pit you dug, but they just refused to believe me." His face turned dark, "Otherwise, my sister wouldn't die so miserably."

"You knew it long ago?" Liu Xiu looked at Yuan Shu in surprise: "How did you know?"

"That's true?" Yuan Shu glanced at him, slowly gave up one son, ate Liu Xiu's son, and then clapped his hands and said, "It's very simple. That Taoist came too coincidental, it was like a delivery to the door. If it weren't for the pit that was deliberately dug, who would believe it?"

"And, I'm talking nonsense again." Liu Xiu curled his lips: "The Taoist was found by my father, and the whole plan was arranged by me."

"Why, because that kid is really your kind?"

"Well, I won't tell you." Liu Xiu laughed and squeezed his eyes narrowly: "I just want you to be unable to sleep."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you?"

"Tell me? If someone else wants to change me, maybe someone believes me, but you are Yuan Shu, who believes me?" Liu Xiu smiled disapprovingly and gently left a son: "I dare to leave you in Jiangling, so I won't be afraid of people saying it." After a moment, he laughed again: "Yuan Gaolu, I know your little thoughts very well. You can try it. If you can spread the news, I will let you go."

"I won't leave." Yuan Shu shook his head without thinking: "Apart from you, I can't find a better place to eat and wait for death."

"What's wrong, you still depend on me?" Liu Xiu said angrily.

"I'm just lying on it, why are you?" Yuan Shu laughed: "Now I don't have any other chance to beat you, I will compete with you who will live longer... The third update is here.
