Chapter 1073 Gongsun Zan’s Sworn Brother

After Huangfu Chaobo left, Gongsun Fan hoped that he and Yan Gang could be exchanged. He would be appointed as the governor of Beiping on the right, while Yan Gang would be appointed as the governor of Shanggu. The reason was that the loss of Baima Yicong was too great, so he planned to invite himself to the right. Peiping organized and trained another 10,000 to 20,000 white horse Yi followers to deal with Yuan Shaojun's cavalry.

As for why Gongsun Zan did not train and train in Guangyang himself, one reason is that Guangyang is a small area and is not the best place to train cavalry. This is not the case in Youbeiping. Youbeiping was originally the place where the Gongsun family started, and the area is vast. , and Youbeiping is adjacent to Longhua, and Longhua's horses can be sent to the army at any time.

The second is that Gongsunzan has many affairs and does not have much time and energy to train new soldiers. Only three of his brothers can train Baima Yicong. Apart from Gongsun Zan, he is the most suitable candidate. If he has trained Baima Yicong to an almost complete level, and then integrates him into the army of Baima Yicong in Jixian County, he will be able to quickly form combat effectiveness.

Gongsun Zan did not object to Gongsun Fan's proposal. He just asked why Gongsun Fan thought of this. In this regard, Gongsun Fan insisted that he thought of it when he mentioned Yuan Shaojun's large increase in cavalry when talking to Huangfu Chaobo, and never mentioned that this was Huangfu Chaobo's advice to him. They all knew that based on their brother's character, if they knew that Huangfu Chaobo had interfered in the appointment of officials at the prefecture level of the Yan Army, they would never agree to this suggestion, no matter how good his suggestion was.

Gongsun Fan has always had good abilities, so when he thought of these things during his exchange with Huangfu Chaobo, Gongsun Zan had no doubts. If Gongsun Yue said such words, Gongsun Zan would have to think about it.

"So I agreed to my second brother's request and swapped you and Yan Gang. You will be the governor of Youbeiping, and Yan Gang will be the governor of Shanggu. After a while, I will discuss it with Duke Tang and let him be the governor of Longhua. To train white horses, we will strive to train 10,000 to 20,000 white horses as followers within a year." Gongsun Zan nodded and agreed;

When Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue saw that their eldest brother had agreed, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The first and second lines of defense that Huangfu Chaobo discussed with them that night had been successful, and the next step was to build the city of Laoting. Something happened. Regarding this matter, both of them were a little worried.

Sure enough, when Gongsun Yue proposed that Leting build another city to the west of the port to better protect the port, he immediately aroused opposition from others.

"This must not be done!" As soon as Gongsun Yue finished speaking, a sharp voice sounded in the hall. When everyone turned to look, it was Liu Weitai, one of Gongsun Zan's sworn brothers. "Brother, this is tantamount to raising tigers to create trouble. Leting City is one of the largest cities in Liaoxi County, and its size is almost the same as Linyu. If we allow it to build another city, Liaoxi will no longer be a righteous city. My brother owns it." As he said this, he glanced at Gongsun Yue with contempt from the corner of his eye.

Gongsunzan's three sworn brothers were the diviner Liu Weitai, the merchant Li Yizi, and Jiaren Lehedang. These three people had no talents at all, but they were good at following Gongsunzan's favor, so they gained Gongsunzan's trust.

Wang Can's "Heroes" records: "The arrogant and unruly people he favored were all mediocre. For example, Liu Weitai, a diviner, Li Yizi, a merchant, and Le Hedang, a Jiaren, swore an oath of brotherhood with them. The name is Bo, and the three of them are called Zhongshu Ji. They are all rich in billions. They may choose their daughters to match their own sons. They are often called Qu Zhou and Guan Ying in ancient times. "

Although Wang Can's records are indeed exaggerated, the three people are arrogant and domineering in Ji County. Even Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu once complained to his father about the three people's domineering behavior, but Gongsun Zan laughed at him. Let it go. The next three were even more unscrupulous, often gesticulating in Gongsun Zan's military discussions and blaming generals and officials, but Gongsun Mao Zan ignored them.

Nowadays, these three people have become the target of public criticism among the Yan army, but the three of them still rely on Gongsun Zan's favor to become more and more indulgent. Now he even ignored Gongsun Zan's two younger brothers. He so unreasonably interrupted Gongsun Yue's speech during the military discussion.

His language was even more harsh, and he didn't take Gongsun Yue seriously at all.

Gongsun Yue originally had a bad temper. After Liu Weitai made a fuss, he was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and beat him up. When Gongsun Fan saw this, he grabbed him and shouted: "Third brother, eldest brother, in the meeting hall , don’t be unreasonable!”

"Second brother, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but this old guy is bullying others too much!" Gongsun Yue said angrily. As he said that, he was about to rush forward, but he heard a cold snort from Gongsun Zan from the leader, and he was frightened. He immediately retracted, but Liu Weitai looked at Gongsun Fan and Gong Sunfan triumphantly.

Guan Jing on the side sighed secretly in his heart, stood up quickly and said: "My lord, the three generals' strategies are reasonable, but Mr. Liu's words are not without purpose. The current plan really needs to be carefully considered." At this point, Guan Jing Jing changed his mind and said, "However, there is one more thing that my lord should really consider."

As his chief military advisor, although Gongsun Zan is not as obedient as before, he still has to listen to Guan Jing's words. So he said: "Whatever Shiqi said, you might as well say it clearly!"

After Guan Jing heard this, he bowed his hands and continued: "Tang Gong just said that my lord should really consider the matter in Liaodong. Although my lord and Gongsun Du have always had nothing to worry about, if my lord and the Wei army fight, In Hebei, what should we do if Gongsun Du really sends troops to attack?"

"What Guan Changshi said is wrong." Before Guan Jing finished speaking, another voice sounded beside him. It was Li Yizi, another brother of Gongsun Zan. Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, he said proudly: "Brother and Liaodong Taishou are both local lords. For several years, they have been tacitly aware of each other and have never crossed the border. Qihui is like what Changshi said, and invades Liaoxi? If our army sends troops to Liaodong, it will surely become a laughing stock among the people of the world."

When Guan Jing heard this, he was also angry. In the past, the two families were similar in strength. Now his own strength has greatly increased, while Gongsun Du has lost Lelang County and his strength has been greatly damaged. If Yuan Shao lures him with benefits, it is hard to guarantee that Gongsun Du will not take risks and send troops to Liaoxi. Do you think that the safety of Liaoxi is placed on this illusory tacit understanding?

Guan Jing cursed in his heart: You are a silk merchant, you are really unreasonable. I helped your stupid brother to get out of trouble, but you came out to accuse him. It is really a rotten wood that cannot be carved. Well, if that’s the case, just let you guys die. One day, the three of you will be skinned and dismembered, and only then will everyone be relieved.
