Chapter 835

However, Yuan Shao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He also has tens of thousands of troops under his command. Even if his strength is greatly damaged, there is no problem in breaking hands with Gongsun Du.

"What's more, even if Yuan Shao couldn't hold on, he would certainly ask Cao Cao for help. As the saying goes, yuan and Cao are old friends. Cao Cao is likely to help Yuan Shao, and it's not difficult to stop Gongsun from passing away." Jia Xu said again.

Liu Ye nods. Cao Cao occupies Qingzhou. It is not difficult to help Yuan Shao in Youzhou.

"Now that our army is on a long expedition, the officers and men are tired of fighting for a long time. It is better to take a rest and watch the fighting among the princes in the world. When the enemy's strength is depleted, our army will fight again. The world will be settled."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Ye thinks: "well, let Gongsun Du and Yuan Shao fight and kill themselves. Our army is just recovering."

Luoyang sent an angel to confer gongsundu as governor of Youzhou. Gongsundu was overjoyed at the speech and prepared to send troops to attack Yuan Shao. However, Liu Ye ordered to recuperate and recuperate. The states under his command attached great importance to agriculture and stopped fighting.

Xiangdong, Liaodong.

"Congratulations to my father. You are the governor of Youzhou from today on." Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong congratulated Gongsun Du.

"Hehe, Liu Yuqing is generous. I didn't expect to give it to the official so happily." Gongsun Du laughed and was very high spirited. He occupied Liaodong before, and he was No. 1 in Youzhou. However, Youzhou's heroes have come forth in large numbers. Among other things, Gongsun Zan, a general of Baima, and Liu Yu, a herdsman of Youzhou, are far more famous than Gongsun Du.

However, gongsundu was very clever and knew what it was to make a big fortune out of silence. When Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu fought for Youzhou openly and secretly, gongsundu was always committed to managing a mu of land in Liaodong. At the same time, gongsundu conquered Gaogouli in the East and conquered Wuhuan in the north to expand his influence and strength.

Because Gongsun Du had been aiming his expansion to the East, Gongsun Zan did not care about Liu Yu after he defeated him, but went south to fight with Yuan Shao and was defeated.

Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were defeated one after another, but gongsundu was able to stand in Liaodong for a long time. His ability is obvious. However, Gongsun Du's ambition is not small. He once negotiated with his subordinates Liu Yi and Yang Yi to establish himself as king. He called himself pingzhoumu and separated several counties in Eastern Liaoning from Youzhou and established the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty.

"Now that the Lord has been granted the title of governor of Youzhou by the imperial court, it is worthy of its name."

Liu Yi arched his hand and said, "the master is a governor of Youzhou, and it's just right for him to attack Yuan Shao, the traitor. In fact, when our army is fully stationed in Youzhou, the general will dare not underestimate us."

When it comes to the use of military force against Yuan Shao, gongsundu's civil and military generals were excited. They were all high-ranking officials in Youzhou.

"Hum, don't be complacent. Liu Yuqing just wants to kill people with a knife and treat loneliness as that knife."

Gongsun Du snorted coldly, but his heart was like a mirror, and he saw it thoroughly.

"Liu Ye regards Gu as a knife, and he just borrows a name from him."

"Liu Ye used a large army to march to Yizhou. Although he came back from victory, I'm afraid he won't send troops in a short time, but it's hard to guarantee that other princes will send troops to help Yuan Shao." Gongsun was cold.

Gongsun Kang frowned and said, "what my father said is Cao Cao?"

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "yes, Cao Cao is now in the southeast, occupying one-third of the world. If Yuan Shao can't hold on, he will certainly ask for help. At that time, Cao Cao can go northward from Qingzhou, or even send a Navy from Beihai to attack Liaodong!"

As soon as he said this, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong were shocked.

"So... What to do?"

"Naturally, it is necessary to stabilize Cao Cao."

Gongsun Du suddenly turned back and called, "Liu Yi!"

"I'm here. What can I do for you?"

One of Liaodong's generals and ministers walked out from the left. He was wearing a robe, tall and long arm, with two sharp eyes and sharp eyes. He was Gongsun Du's most valued confidant, Liu Yi, Liaodong's master. Gongsun Du even wanted to discuss with him such a big event as usurping the throne. This shows Liu Yi's position in Gongsun Du's mind.

"What do you think should be done to make Cao Cao give up his aid to Yuan Shao?" Gongsun Du asked.

Liu Yi pondered a little and said frankly: "it's better to return the Donglai counties to Cao Cao. In this way, Cao Cao will certainly not interfere."

The main theme of the Three Kingdoms period was land warfare, while in the south of the Yangtze River, although there were mariners, most of them fought inland. Although Liaodong is far away in the north, gongsundu trained a near sea division. Under the command of gongsundu, Liaodong Navy once went out to sea to make an expedition to Qingzhou during the fierce battle among the Central Plains princes. He captured several counties including his hometown Donglai county and established them as Yingzhou.

However, the Central Plains princes did not attack Yingzhou at that time. This shows that Gongsun Du's strength is very important. Otherwise, why did those princes dare not offend him?

Even today, Yingzhou is still under Gongsun Du's control, and thousands of troops are deployed. Cao Cao had a strong desire for control, so he was afraid of Yingzhou, which was near Qingzhou. If he could give Yingzhou to Cao Cao, he would certainly agree.Gongsun Kang frowned: "will Cao Cao's generation of heroes agree because our army sent them to Yingzhou? If Cao Cao had captured Yingzhou and sent troops to help Yuan Shao, wouldn't our army send Yingzhou out in vain? "

Liu Yi shook his head and said in a deep way, "please rest assured that the Lord and the eldest son will agree."

Gongsun Du nodded: "in that case, send someone to contact Cao Cao. Our army should be ready as soon as possible and launch an offensive against Yuan Shao when winter comes. "

Youzhou is located in the north, that is, today's Yanjing and northeast. In winter, the climate is often cold, which is not conducive to attack. In history, Cao Wei once wanted to attack Youzhou many times, but Qiu Jian led the Wei army to attack Liaodong, which was also because of the weather retreat. Gongsun Du, who led the army for many years, naturally did not make such a mistake.

"Kang'er Ru led his troops to Gaoli and told him to drive his troops to use for us." Gongsun Du said boldly: "these barbarians who attack the vanguard consume Yuan Shao's troops. Our army's iron cavalry will attack Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and Youzhou will be available at that time."

Gongsun Kang, the eldest son of Gongsun Du, sent him to Koguryo to experience him. Gongsun Kang promised to come down and said, "father, don't worry. The child will be returned in two months."

After he was ready, Gongsun Kang led his entourage to Koguryo. At the same time, Gongsun Du was mobilizing troops from Liaodong.
