Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five: The Art of Jizhou, Xun You Ding North
A coup to determine the ownership of Jizhou began quietly and ended quietly.
Han Fu was awarded the title of General Fenwu and moved to the residence of Zhao Zhong, the former ten permanent servants. He was rewarded with endless gold, silver, wealth and silk.
Five people, Jushou, Tian Feng, Xun You, Xun Chen and Xin Ping, were appointed to take charge of all government affairs in Jizhou.
Ji Ling was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Yan Liang as the commander-in-chief, and Wen Chou as the commander-in-chief of the army. They were in charge of Jizhou's military affairs.
After all the generals were stabilized, Yuan Shu recruited Ju Yi and named him Xianden Military Academy Lieutenant, responsible for organizing and training the first army.
"Xun Chen, if my prediction is correct, there is another strongman in Jizhou named Zhang Jia. He seems to be from Hejian. Find him for me."
"Open jaw?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's question, Xun Chen was also stunned. He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had actually seen this name in the roster.
"My lord, Zhang Jia, courtesy name Junyi, is from Hejian, and is currently the Sima of another army."
Ju Yi heard Yuan Shu asking about opening his jaw and hurriedly spoke.
"Okay, tell him to come see me quickly."
"promise."
It seems that the wings of this little butterfly like myself haven't flapped too much, at least it's still worth opening its jaws.
The news that Yuan Shu had acquired Jizhou was like a letter bird, flying in all directions.
Three or four days later, Gongsun Zan, who was outside Hejian, also received the news.
"Ah Yue, this Yuan Shu is really powerful. He actually conquered the vast land of Jizhou without any effort."
Gongsun Zan looked at the generals around him. These days they were sleeping in the open air and racing to attack the city, but they didn't catch a single hair.
"Brother, this is very good. Since Yuan Shu has won the state pastoral title, he should cash in half of our share."
Gongsun Yue drank the wine in one gulp.
"Well, write a letter of divorce immediately and send someone to the capital."
"promise."--
"My Lord, a letter from Gongsun Zan."
Yuan Shu was taking care of the affairs of Jizhou, and the sudden arrival of the scouts made Yuan Shu stunned.
"Send it over."
Opening Gongsun Zan's letter, Yuan Shu took one look at it and became furious.
The officials looked at Yuan Shu's appearance and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
Among them, Tian Feng and Yuan Shu spent a little longer.
"Gongsun Zan went so far as to bully others. He actually asked me for the five counties of Hejian, Bohai, Leling, Zhongshan, and Yanmen. If he didn't give them, he would send troops to invade the border areas."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he threw Gongsun Zan's letter to the ground. Xun You gently picked it up and began to read it carefully.
"My lord, now that you are the shepherd of Jizhou, the whole of Jizhou is your territory. Although Gongsun Zan has a strong military, he is not as good as my lord. He is just a reckless man. I don't dare to do anything to him."
Xun You rolled his eyes and already had a countermeasure.
"What if Gongsun Zan goes crazy?"
Hearing Xun You's words, Yuan Shu was also stunned. Gongsun Zan was famous for being stunned. When he was stunned, he was not afraid of heaven or earth.
"It doesn't matter, some people have to let them know how much they have. You can order the Polu Army to rush to Hejian, the First Army, and the Second Army to rush to the Bohai Sea. Order Zhao Yun and Gao Lan to divert to Youbeiping. , Gongsun Zan will naturally retreat."
"In this case, I gave Zhao Yun an order to go to Youbeiping for a walk. At the same time, I wrote back to Gongsun Zan. He is also a prince of the 18th Route. I can give him weapons, food and grass, but if he wants it in the counties and counties, he must use swords and guns. Come and get it.”
"promise."
"Gongda, now that we have a countermeasure for Gongsun Zan's incident, what should we do next?"
Since Gongsun Zan didn't have to worry too much, Yuan Shu set his sights elsewhere.
In the past, he was just the governor of a county, and his focus was only on the gains and losses of the county. Now that he has become a state pastor, he has to take a longer-term view.
"My lord, there are several options now. The first is the Black Mountain Army entrenched in the Taihang Mountains. They are said to have millions of people. If they can be defeated, not only can they solve their worries, but they can also get soldiers, horses, money and food.
After defeating the Black Mountain Army, you can take advantage of the situation and march into Bingzhou. Bingzhou is currently in chaos. As long as the Lord's flag is waved, all the land in this state will be in your hands.
His two soldiers sent troops to Qingzhou, and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were in turmoil, claiming to have millions of people. Now that the governor of Qingzhou has lost his life, the lord can designate one person as the governor, and let him lead the troops to destroy it, and then he can get a piece of land in the state.
The third sent troops to Qinghe. Yanzhou is now in turmoil. The governor Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, which aroused resentment among the counties. Moreover, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans also have the tendency to move towards Yanzhou. I predict that Liu Dai will be difficult to resist. When the time comes, as long as the Lord sends troops to destroy the Yellow Turbans
, Yanzhou can be decided.
Fourth, the conflict between Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu and You Beiping Governor Gongsun Zan intensified. Liu Yu suppressed Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan also had a desire to resist. Otherwise, he would not have raised troops in Jizhou as promised.
As long as a letter of divorce is given to Liu Yu, agreeing to attack Gongsun Zan together, Liu Yu will send troops. When both sides are defeated, they will send troops to attack north, and Youzhou will be conquered."
Xun You immediately thought of a strategy to conquer the four states. You must know that when Yuan Shao conquered Jizhou, what Ju gave him was only a strategy for three states.
As for why there was no plan to seize Yanzhou, it was because Liu Dai was dead in his generation, Cao Cao was in power, and Yanzhou had become Boss Cao's base camp. It was extremely difficult to seize it.
"Gongda Zhen is a divine man. If he follows his plan, the four states can be conquered within a few years. When the time comes, the lord will have the territory of the five states and bring millions of fine armors with him. Then he can welcome the emperor and command the world. The princes will be like this
If you don't obey, you can send out troops to attack, and then no one in the world can resist."
Tian Feng's eyes lit up, Xun You's plan was indeed grand. Once it was successfully carried out, the entire north would fall into Yuan Shu's hands, and then he could bring the power of the five states to the south, and the world would be in jeopardy.
"Okay, if that's the case, which step should Gongda take first?"
Yuan Shu took a sip of Juezhong wine, and then glanced at Xun You who was not far away, and Xun You was also staring at Yuan Shu.
"What do you think, my lord?"
"I think we should attack the Black Bandits first."
Yuan Shu moved to look around, looking thoughtfully at the Taihang Mountains spread across the west of Jizhou and the Black Mountain Bandits active in the Taihang Mountains.
"I think Qingzhou is in turmoil and the Yellow Turbans are raging. In fact, Qingzhou should be conquered first."
Xun You had other ideas. The new governor of Qingzhou was mourning, and there were only a million yellow turbans, but no one to unify them. It was time to defeat them one by one and sweep them away in one fell swoop.
"Gongda, as the saying goes, one must first settle the internal affairs in order to fight against external forces. Jizhou has been newly settled and internally unstable. The attitude of the states and counties is still unknown. This battle is very critical.
The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have great fighting potential and are divided like other Warring States Periods. If they send troops to Qingzhou now, they will definitely unite to resist.
When Zhang Yan of Montenegro sends troops to harass the rear, we will be in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
It would be better to let the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou fight among themselves, attack Black Mountain first, defeat Black Mountain and then march eastward, and capture Qingzhou in one fell swoop."
Yuan Shu's saying, "When dealing with foreign affairs, one must first settle the domestic affairs" made Xun You and Tian Feng shine. Is there anything wrong with this sentence?
Jizhou has just been captured by Yuan Shu. If he is really attacked by the Black Mountain Army from both sides when he attacks Qingzhou, it will be dangerous. If Qingzhou is not captured by then and the states and counties are independent, then they will lose both their wives and their troops.
"My lord, what I said is the most reasonable thing to say. It's worse than anything else."
