Since Yuan Shao decided to conquer Jizhou, he must have stepped up his plans to stumble Han Fu.
In the second year of Chuping (191), Han Fu's general Qu Yi rebelled. Han Fu fought with Qu Yi. Han Fu sent people to attack Qu Yi, but he was defeated.
Since Yuan Shao resented Han Fu, he befriended Qu Yi.
Speaking of which, Qu Yi also has a long history. During the reign of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, the Qu family took refuge in Xiping County and became a popular surname in the area. (Xi Ping Ko clan)
Qu Yi often lived in Liangzhou and was proficient in the Qiang's warfare. His private soldiers were all elite, and he later became the general of Han Fu in Jizhou.
Qu Yi's character determined that his relationship with Han Fu was at odds, so that Han Fu could not tolerate Qu Yi, and eventually a war broke out internally.
Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity and successfully formed an alliance with Qu Yi. Although Han Fu also had many capable people, he was still a little behind Yuan Shao. Feng Ji said to Shao: "If you do big things, you can't stand on your own without occupying a state. Now the Hebei tribe is strong, but Han Fu is mediocre, so he secretly asks Gongsun Zan to advance his troops westward. Fu will be frightened when he hears about it. He will also send debaters to Chen Fufu, and Fu will be forced to take his position because of the haste."
After Yuan Shao heard this, he felt that Feng Ji's plan was reasonable, so he secretly sent someone to bring his letter to Gongsun Zan. After reading it, Gongsun Zan felt hesitant in his heart.
Compared with history, Gongsun Zan's current strength among the princes can be said to be quite good. The coalition forces against Dong were defeated miserably, but Gongsun Zan did not suffer much loss.
Although I am not in Youzhou, I have heard some things about Youzhou. For example, the new governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu, was the former shepherd of Liangzhou. He did not agree very much with Gongsun Zan’s policies of Wuhuan and Xianbei. On the contrary, the king of Hejian The method suits his taste, but it is none of his business. If Gongsun Zan is still in Youzhou, the two will inevitably conflict.
Youzhou was originally a poor state and needed Qingzhou and Hebei to subsidize official expenses. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, transportation was cut off and money could not be Liu Han hadn't taken over Youzhou, Youzhou would probably have been a hell on earth.
Liu Yu was transferred to the governor of Youzhou in the sixth year of Zhongping. Under Liu Han's instruction, he pursued lenient governance, persuaded the people to farm, and obtained income from opening up the market in Shanggu to trade with foreigners and mining the salt and iron mines in Yuyang, which made more than a million people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou Exile here, live and work in peace and contentment.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that Liu Han has a strong armed force. The foreigners dare not bare their teeth in front of the big man. Moreover, as the governor, Liu Yu is only responsible for government affairs and is not allowed to interfere in military affairs. The original person in charge of military affairs in Youzhou was Duan Jiong, and Duan After Xion left, there was Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu acted ruthlessly, relying on wooing, suppressing, and dividing. Foreign tribes joined Wuhuan and Xianbei in northern Youzhou every year. Compared with three years ago, the population of foreign tribes was reduced by half, and Without wasting a single soldier or general, Liu Han invisibly pushed his territory northwards, and was now close to Buyeo.
Although Liu Yu did not agree with Liu Han's approach, he could not resist the warlike atmosphere of the military. He could only do his best to maintain peace in the state and settle the people. With his efforts, Youzhou's population has exceeded the 500 million mark (including The Wuhuan people and Xianbei people included).
Gongsun Zan is very conflicted now. Among the princes, his strength is indeed one of the best, but there is a giant above him, and he has a heart ready to fight for hegemony, but he is afraid that he will be slapped to death by the King of Hejian at the slightest move.
Jizhou is close to the King of Hejian and is not safe. Therefore, Gongsun Zan has always planned to go to Qingzhou or further south to strengthen himself. Bohai County is not a long-term foothold.
Yuan Shao's intention was very simple, he just wanted to cooperate with him to scare Han Fu, but Gongsun Zan planned to fake it and expand his power to the Qinghe this plan in mind, Gongsun Zan acted immediately, "Order Gongsun Yue, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, and Fan Fang to lead 1 cavalry and [-] infantry, totaling [-] people, to attack Qinghe."
"Here."
Throughout Gongsun Zan's life, he had general talents but no political talents. We can only see his bravery, but not his "wisdom" and "unity", so he was not considered a handsome man.
Gongsun Zan's main military achievements were actually internal battles.
For example, in pacifying the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, defeating the traitor Zhang Chun, and in the actual military showdown with foreigners, Gongsun Zan felt that his performance was similar to that of Li Guang, and he performed brilliantly in a small fight.
(When dozens of riders came out of the fortress and saw hundreds of Xianbei riders, Zan retreated into the empty pavilion. He asked his riders and said, "If you don't charge them now, you will die." Zan then held his own spear and used both ends to strike. He galloped out of Cihu, killed dozens of people, and killed half of his followers, so he was spared. Xianbei punished Ai and later did not dare to reenter the fortress.) In fact, it was an unexpected encounter and a small-scale conflict, similar to Li Guang's deeds of shooting the man riding the white horse to deeds can only show that Li Guang is very resourceful and Gongsun Zan is very brave, but after all, they are not large-scale military operations, and they have almost no strategic , it is recorded in the history books that "Xianbei punished Ai and later did not dare to return to the fortress." ], obviously this is an exaggerated statement in order to beautify Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan's life can be simply divided into two stages. In the early stage, as a general of the Han Dynasty, he devoted himself to foreign wars. Although he faced large-scale foreign invasions, he was unable to survive , small-scale combat also showed outstanding he had lived in a prosperous age, Gongsun Zan might have become a general like Li Gongsun Zan, who was in troubled times, became a warlord. This was also the beginning of the second stage. The decline of the Han Dynasty made Gongsun Zan no longer content with his duties, and his inner desires began to gradually emerge and expand.
It's okay to be ambitious, but in Bohai, he didn't have Liu Han's strength, but he wanted to do what Liu Han wanted to do - suppress the gentry.
Those who resemble Liu Han will die, and those who imitate Liu Han will die faster.
In this world, the only person who dares to suppress the nobles in such a direct way is Liu Han, because he had already laid out the plan for ten years before purging the three counties. Because he had already occupied the great righteousness before suppressing the nobles, the nobles were indeed unable to withstand his serial offensives in some areas. , which caused Liu Han to enter a virtuous cycle.
And Gongsun Zan also wanted to suppress the nobles in his own territory, and wanted to peel off a layer of skin from the nobles and powerful people to strengthen himself, so he could gain more territory?Just thinking about suppressing the gentry is asking for death.
His reason was also very naive. He believed that scholars "were rich because of their positions and did not thank others for their favors." Therefore, he was determined to give priority to poor families and even became sworn brothers with wizards and businessmen.
In troubled times, local powerful people must be an important factor in stabilizing the place. Warlords are vying to win over them. Gongsun Zan thinks he is right, but he goes in the opposite direction and wants to go against the nobles and powerful people. This leads to his good brother Liu Bei, who has been following him, directly He took the people and ran away quietly.
Liu Bei also felt that the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and he could only rely on his years of survival experience and the aura of the protagonist of "Destiny's Son" to survive in these troubled times. He had a keen enough political sense to tell Liu Bei that Gongsun Zan and he were not the same people, so Liu Bei asked himself to take the headquarters 2000 People went to Qingzhou to open up territory for their brothers.
Gongsun Zan felt that 2000 people were too few, so he gave Liu Bei another thousand, and Liu Bei did not refuse. He took the people to Pingyuan County in Qingzhou and wandered around. Liu Xuande returned here to start his Pingyuan Order. (End of chapter)
