Chapter 230
"Hahahaha, my dear brother Ziyi! This great victory is really God's help to me, and it is also due to your timely assistance!"
Gongsun Zan said with ecstasy and heroic smile on the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated.
"Brother Bogui, you are too kind. I was originally leading my troops back home, and I was concerned about the peace of Yanmen. Unexpectedly, I heard about your crisis on the way, and I was extremely anxious. I turned my horse around and came here overnight. Fortunately, God has blessed us and did not let us miss the opportunity. In the end, we can fight side by side and overcome the difficulties together."
Liu Yao looked at Gongsun Zan with deep eyes, and he looked at him with both relief and a bit of blame.
"Brother, I have repeatedly advised you to stop the war in Jizhou and make plans for the future. However, you are ambitious and unwilling to slacken. Although I feel helpless, I also know that you are worried. I hope that after this battle, you will think twice before acting, and don't let your courage at the moment affect the overall situation." Gongsun Zan's eyebrows were filled with strong anger, his voice was like a bell, and every word was sonorous. "Zi Yi, you don't know the cunning face of Yuan Shao! He first used his eloquence to lure me into Jizhou, a land of disputes, under the pretext of forming an alliance to resist foreign enemies, but in fact he was scheming to use my strength to weaken Jizhou's defense line." "Unexpectedly, he was not grateful, but took advantage of the situation and took advantage of my containment on the front line to quietly take over the entire Jizhou military force." "What's more outrageous is that he actually imprisoned Jizhou Mu. Han Fu, put him in a dark place. When I led my troops back in triumph and wanted to argue with him to get back the land, he turned his face and refused to recognize me, and his words were full of evasion and perfunctory. "
"The Yuan family has been prominent for generations, and the reputation of "four generations of three officials" hangs high on the lintel. How could it breed such a treacherous person? It's really sad. The world is going downhill and people's hearts are not as good as before!"
Liu Yao heard this and sighed lightly, his tone full of helplessness and emotion.
"Alas, brother, you are right. In this chaotic world, rituals and music have long collapsed, benevolence and morality have been abandoned like rags, and the way of military strategists is to do everything. You are also a veteran of the battlefield, and you should be very clear about such things. "
Gongsun Zan's figure seemed particularly heavy in the dim light. He lowered his head, as if carrying a heavy burden, and every strand of hair seemed to be telling endless fatigue and worry.
"After this battle... Youzhou is seriously injured, and the road ahead is probably full of thorns and bumps..." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing the desolation and helplessness that was difficult to conceal.
Liu Yao patted Gongsun Zan on the shoulder.
"What kind of discouraging words are you saying, brother."
Moreover, Liu Yu's old subordinates are ready to move, and it is a time to test our wisdom and courage. Brother needs to cheer up, return to Youzhou as soon as possible, and stabilize the overall situation. As long as the people are willing, Youzhou will be as stable as a rock. "
"Brother, you must be careful!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan slowly raised his head, with a trace of gratitude and determination in his eyes. He knew that he could not fall down at this time, because there were too many responsibilities and missions waiting for him to complete.
"Zi Yi's words are like a revelation. Gongsun Zan will remember today's kindness in his heart, and he will repay it in the future! "
……
At the same time, Jizhou.
Xun Yu held a letter lightly, his eyes passed through the lines, his brows were inadvertently locked, and a touch of worry quietly climbed up his gentle face.
It turned out that he was invited by a friend to go to Yuan Shao to find out the truth. He wanted to conspire for the general situation of the world, but the world is like chess, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
Although Yuan Benchu's name is famous, his ambition is to support puppets in Luoyang in order to overthrow the foundation of the Han Dynasty. His intention is clear and known to passers-by.
In addition, this person has a soft personality. When making decisions, he is suspicious and undecided. In the past, he was able to use a treacherous plan to cleverly take Jizhou from Han Fu. Such means, although they can gain temporary benefits, lose the support of the people, which is not what a hero does.
He was just about to go to Cao Cao in Yanzhou to take a look, but at this time, Xi Zhicai wrote a letter to him, letting him He went to Bingzhou to join Liu Yao.
Liu Yao was known as the Jade-faced Butcher. After taking over Bingzhou, he was extremely brave and knew how to appoint people to positions. He quickly gained a foothold and defeated the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan successively. Moreover, he was a relative of the Han Dynasty.
In just a few years, he rose from a small county magistrate to the rank of General of the Cavalry and Marquis of the Champion.
He led his men to defeat Dong Zhuo and brought him back to Luoyang for trial.
Now that the Han Dynasty was in decline and officials were leaderless, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others fully supported Liu Yao.
Although he had the full support of Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao, Liu Yao was able to reach his current position and hold Bingzhou and Yongzhou, which was enough to show that he was extraordinary.
It was just that his killing and cruelty were a bit too heavy.
Xun Yu hesitated.
One was Cao Cao and the other was Liu Yao..
Cao Cao's sincerity of sacrificing his life for the Han Dynasty is like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating a ray of hope in troubled times.
In his eyes, there is a deep gaze on the declining imperial power and a deep concern for the suffering of the people. This sentiment makes Xun Yu feel a little respect and resonance.
The other is the brilliant Liu Yao. As the leader of the allied forces, he seems to be the most dazzling star in the sky, making it difficult for people to look directly at his brilliance.
However, under this brilliance, Xun Yu noticed a subtle haze.
Although Liu Yao's every move can turn danger into safety and be invincible, the driving force behind it seems to come more from the endless pursuit of personal power and the endless desire for territory.
His strategy seems to always inadvertently put the flag of the Han Dynasty under the shadow of personal ambition.
Over the years, although Liu Yao has been invincible, he has been expanding his territory not for the Han Dynasty, but for his own power.
Cao Cao and Liu Yao, like the weights on both ends of the scale, each carries different ideals and weights.
Cao Cao's loyalty lies in his concern for the Han Dynasty and his ambition to clarify the world; while Liu Yao's strength lies in his strong wisdom and courage and his ever-expanding territory.
It's like you go out for a blind date.
One is an honest girl with a clean family background, who is a good match for you.
The other is beautiful and rich, and is also the chairman of a group of one of the top 500 companies in the country.
Although choosing a beautiful and rich chairman will save you a hundred years of detours.
But you are still a little uneasy in your heart, because the gap in strength between the two sides is really too big, so big that it makes people feel inferior.
You may even fall into a kind of self-doubt. Is she with me for other purposes?
Does she just want to play around?
Just when Xun Yu was struggling.
Coincidentally, Xun You walked in at this time.
