After listening to Liu Ye's statement, Li Su's excitement and shock in his heart took a long time to calm down.

Don’t think that he is a time traveler. If you know history, you will not be shocked by Liu Yu’s death. Because in his opinion, the current situation is too different from the original history in this issue.

As mentioned earlier, after Liu Bei's variable was taken away from the Kanto battlefield, forces such as Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan, which were originally assisted by Liu Bei, were greatly weakened.

Tao Qian was defeated and died after less than two years of voluntary action.

Gongsun Zan's direct troops were at least one-third weaker than the same period in history. Originally, he should have maintained a slight advantage over Yuan Shao at this time, holding Bohai County and several counties in the northern part of Qingzhou. Now all of them are gone, and Gongsun Zan's territory has been completely suppressed back to Youzhou.

So Li Sucai once thought that Gongsun Zan was so weak, how could he dare to go there? How could he dare to kill Liu Yu? Even if he dared, how could Liu Yu be easily defeated?

It can only be said that Liu Yu's "combat talent" is too low. He has no idea about military affairs in his life, only knows about diplomacy, and he actively wants to weaken Gongsun Zan's military power and force him to rebel.

Gongsun Zan also has a weak personality, that is, he disdains to be low and be small, and would rather die than surrender (this is not a derogatory meaning). Li Su misjudged because he had too little contact with Gongsun Zan and lacked his estimate of his weak personality.

Gongsun Zan's personality records in history books are much less than those of Cao, Liu and Yuan. He did not even specifically talk about this person in "Praise the Three Kingdoms". Time travelers can't make any mistakes in subtle misjudgment.

This is easy to understand, because if a coward like Li Su is allowed to stand on Gongsun Zan's position and encounter Liu Yu's military power, he will definitely know that rebellion has no future. Either hand over some of the military power and leave, take the direct troops and run away, and change to a Bianbajiao Xu Tu who is not restrained by his superiors. Or even if he has already started a conflict and breaks through, there is no need to return to Ji County to kill Liu Yu, and give Yuan Shao a name for himself for nothing.

That way, you can go to Sanhan like Gongsun Du, and slaughter savages in other places like Fuyu, and call him the free and careless ending of the barbarian king. With Liu Yu's kindness, as long as you leave, you will not kill them all. Liu Yu did not want to kill Gongsun Zan at the beginning, but just wanted to prevent Gongsun Zan from destroying his policy of encroaching and appeasement.

"Oh, I can only say that personality determines everything. Many people are proud of their lives and fall into path dependence, and even nine cows cannot be brought back. Liu Yu wanted to become a border citizen for the rest of his life, and Gongsun Zan wanted to kill all the aliens for the rest of his life.

If these two people were placed in a suitable environment, they could become heroes of the nation. Unfortunately, they were swept into the same complex vortex and were in vain. The reputation that Liu Yu had accumulated throughout his life was in vain and Yuan Shao, who supported the successor of King Yan Liu He. Now Yuan Shao was 'using the King of Yan to command Hebei'."

Li Su finally made such a conclusion in his heart.

...

After accepting the bad news brought by Liu Ye, Li Su couldn't help asking Liu Ye what his plans were and what Mi Zhu's current attitude was.

"Brother Ziyang, we are considered an old acquaintance for six years. Don't say those hypocritical and polite words. If things have come to this day, what are your plans? You must avenge the revenge of the King of Yan. Both I and the King of Hanzhong are unshirkable. I was so proud of the grace of filial piety and integrity in those days. I must not forget it.

Unfortunately, the territory of King Hanzhong and King Yan was one in the northeast of the world and the other in the southwest of the world, which was beyond the reach. Moreover, for King Hanzhong, the Northern Expedition and Rescue was the top priority. Previously, because of the defeat of Wuzhangyuan last year, the war preparations of Hanzhong were destroyed by Dong Yue and Fan Chou, and he had to delay it, but now he can no longer be delayed by other things.

I guess with Yuan Shao's luck, he made such a good opportunity in vain. Even if no one helps, he could destroy Gongsun Zan. In fact, we can also wait for revenge by using Yuan Shao's hand. If my brother can stand it and join the King of Hanzhong to continue to display his ambitions, it can be regarded as inheriting the will of King Yan. If he really can't wait, go back to find the King of Mifu and help him avenge the King of Yan from the side.

I just hope that you promise that you must not seek revenge on Yuan Shao just because you want to avenge King Yan. Yuan Shao just used the King of Yan, and you also said that the excuse of Gongsun Zan killing King Yan was also accusing the King of Yan to instruct Yuan Shao to support him. It can be seen that Yuan Shao was also accomplice of the King of Yan's reputation and integrity. As for supporting Liu He, it was just to use the King of Yan for his own benefit. Unfortunately, most of the Hebei aristocratic tribes did not investigate, and they would probably use it for Yuan Shao for a long time. Alas."

In history, Yuan Shao was so popular in the Hebei region, but in fact, a large part of it was absorbed by avenging Liu Yu. Including the later Wuhuan Tadun and those who were willing to work for him were all for Liu Yu's sake.

When Liu Ye heard Li Su speak with sincerity, he kept saying his thoughts in his heart, so he didn't hide it anymore and bowed and said, "Ye's position is low and his power is light. Before, he was just a different leader in Youzhou. After the King of Yan became king last year, he was appointed as the chief clerk of my palace. How dare he talk about old friends with the King of Hanzhong and the Right General?

It is normal for the two of you to help immediately avenge the King of Yan, but Ye was favored by others and joined forces with Mi Fujun first. After Gongsun Zan's rebel thieves were wiped out, then discuss the rest. However, I can promise the right general that I will not defect to Yuan Shao. I also want to wait and see if Yuan Shao will really continue to respect the successor Yan King after he avenged the King of Yan, or like Dong Zhuo, or like a slutty..."

Li Su saw that his goal was achieved halfway, at least he would not be able to fight against Yuan Shao, so he no longer demanded and put himself in his shoes to help Liu Ye and Mi Zhu come up with ideas:

"Since this is the case, I will not force you anymore. Mi Fujun was a wealthy merchant and still has no knowledge of war. He will definitely not be able to fight with Gongsun Zan. He will not be able to cross the 400-mile unmanned area of ​​the western Liaoning Corridor to go on a long expedition.

If I want to contribute some effort in revenge, I will use sea transportation to help Yuan Shao transport grain, or transport troops through sea routes to bypass Yishui, Fengshui and other places, and directly into the hinterland of Youbeiping County. If I were to use troops for Gongsun Zan, I would definitely set up high-rise city blocks in the area where Yishui was about to rush to block the throat of Jizhou's incoming You. With sea routes, those strong fortresses can be bypassed."

Li Su's strategy was also casual. After all, Gongsun Zan's "Yijinglou" deeds were so famous in history. It was also a common idea to build fortresses on major traffic roads during defensive wars.

Mi Zhu provided a sea route to make the economic hinterland behind Gongsun Zan be taken down faster, and in the end only a few military fortresses were left, which were completely surrounded in advance.

As for how to break through the Yijinglou Fortress, let Yuan Shao think about it himself. Li Su said this to Liu Ye, which was also a sign of kindness, so that Mi Zhu and Liu Ye would continue to mingle with Liu Bei in the future and not be attracted by Yuan Shao.

After thinking for a while, Liu Ye found that what Li Su said was indeed a little reasonable: "The Right General is worthy of being a model of foresight and insight in the world. He is planning and winning a thousand miles away. After Ye returned to Liaodong, he returned to his original words and told the Lord Mi that if he could accelerate the destruction of Gongsun Zan in the future, we would also be grateful to the Right General's loyalty and righteousness."

The two talked about something else, mainly about the situation in Hebei.

Originally, Li Su wanted to talk to Mi Zhu about more business matters, but after Liu Yu was killed, it was a bit inappropriate to talk about money.

It just so happened that many of the goods prepared by Li Su for Mi Zhu were bought by Zhou Yu, so Li Su was half discounted and half fooled. Others gathered some Jingzhou specialties so that Mi Zhu's merchant fleet would not be empty at least.

Because even celadon was not enough, Zhou Yu bought it, so the goods that were collected for Mi Zhu contained a large amount of iron tools with low profit premiums, which were the products of new high-temperature steelmaking workshops in Lidao County. Fortunately, in Liaodong and Lelang, the settlement of the Daofang originally required a lot of iron tools, which could be considered acceptable to both sides.

While loading the merchant fleet, Li Su also explained to Liu Ye something. He asked: "Brother Ziyang, since Mi Fujun and Yuan Shao are now joining forces to fight Gongsun Zan, you should not be troublesome when you return home from Zhu Jun and Yuan Shao's territory alone, right?"

Liu Ye thought for a while: "The Right General wouldn't have something to ask me to bring to Yuan Shao, right?"

Li Su: "That's not the case - isn't there still thousands of volumes of "Heroes" here, and some information about the recent actions of our Hanzhong King's army in Jingnan and other places. I think whether it is Yuan Shao or other northern warlords, they should be very interested in what our king is doing recently.

I have been to Changsha for two months and have investigated the movements of many princes in the world. I should also give back to what we have done to let the world know."

Liu Ye looked a little embarrassed, and he said something that he didn't feel embarrassed to say: What else do you have to show off? Didn't you just take advantage of the Northern Expedition to solve the banner of Li Jue and Guo Si, and are actually grabbing territory? He also called it "to crack down on those local prefects/governors who depended on Li Jue and Guo Si's false destiny."

Is this kind of thing honorable? It would be fine if I saw it with my own eyes, but I still hope to yell in front of those who didn’t see it?

But then Liu Ye realized a possibility: Liu Bei and Li Su were "pretending to have no ambitions" and were they trying to numb their real goals?

If this is true, it is wrong for them to "take territory in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty."

However, without pointing out the words of smart people, Liu Ye just confirmed carefully: "General Right, that is to say, your attitude is not to be afraid that people will know, but to hope that people will know?"

Li Su: "Yes, we hope that the princes in the north know that if the trafficking of information about our army can bring some benefits to your brother, it will of course belong to you. Of course, I hope to make sure that the pseudo-chapel of Chang'an also knows our actions."

Li Su’s subtext is: selling fake information misleads the northern warlords, and asking those northern warlords to remember you and give you money, that is your ability.

Liu Ye thought for a while: "Since that's the case, the princes from all over the country are not hostile to the alliance between Mi Fujun and Yuan Shao. This time I returned north, I would take some guards, from the jurisdiction of Yin Zhu Jun of Henan, to Jizhou in Yuan Shao, and back to Liaodong. As for the merchant fleet that Mi Fujun bought iron tools, let's go back on the same path. This is also the fulfillment of the alliance."

Li Su: "Happy, since that's the case, I will give you another 300 elite soldiers to my brother as guards, and I will give you a call to Mi Fujun in the future. In addition, I will give you another 500 wide Shu brocade to my brother as a way to do more money and manage our affairs."

I hope Li Jue, Guo Si and Jia Xu will know as soon as possible that "Liu Bei does not plan to expedition the Northern Expedition at all this year. He plans to drag the excuse of the Northern Expedition to seize local forces loyal to the pseudo-dynasty of Chang'an."

Even if you can't cheat Jia Xu's IQ? As long as any of Li Jue and Guo Si and others are deceived, it will be a good thing.

After seeing off Liu Ye and Mi family merchant fleet, Li Su almost packed up and announced that he would go back to Yizhou to close the Internet.

Those unscrupulous merchants in Yizhou must have begun to ship and stock up on their goods crazily now. It is too late to stop and they can only go all the way to the black.
