Chapter 16: Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu

Chen Xi mouth twitched and did not answer. This is not a question of self-confidence and humility. He can hardly be more confident on the general situations, but he really can't compare in the details and abilities of these people.

Seeing that Chen Xi did not speak, Liu Bei did not continue to say anything. For the current Liu Bei, he is already moving towards the goal he had when he was young, and Chen Xi's series of arrangements gave him a lot of confidence.

"Report!" A subordinate soldiers shouted while running towards Liu Bei.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked.

"General Gongsun allocated three hundred Baimayi (white horses) and another three hundred horses to be transferred. Please take over the army." The herald said loudly.

"It's really a local tyrant..." Chen Xi whispered.

Yesterday, when Liu Bei's soldiers had some casualties, Gongsun Zan made up for the number himself and transferred a team of soldiers to Liu Bei. For Gongsun Zan, who is a local tyrant, he has the most cavalry compared to anyone else except Dong Zhuo. He fought against Xianbei and Wuhuan all year, and won many good horses.

"Gongsun Zan..." Liu Bei sighed. Now he has nothing to repay Gongsun Zan with, so he can only keep in mind, "Become rich, and don't forget these favors."

"Everything has been sent to the camp. There is nothing else to say, just take it. Sonner or later, we will developed, and won't forget the friendship at this time." Chen Xi said with a smile. He appreciated the behavior of Gongsun Zan, a pure nationalist. This series of help made Chen Xi very fond of him.

You have to know that Liu Bei is just a small person right now. Others don't know, but Gonsun Zan can not know. But he has never looked down on Liu Bei's identity as a civilian and still maintained the original friendship.

"From general Gongsun's camp, I greet general Liu." A young teenager saw Liu Bei coming over and bowed respectfully.

"No ceremonies is needed. Is general Gongsun okay?" Liu Bei reached out and lifted the other party. From the other party's movement, he knew that this captain was also a transfer target, and he was good cavalry captain.

"The Hu people in Saibei are about to become bandit again. Last year, there was a heavy snowfall, and many people starved to death. The Hu people may be heading south. General Gongsun hesitated whether he should return. He was a little worried about Youzhou." the captain replied. It is very clear that Gongsun Zan asked him to speak.

While Liu Bei was still thinking about what was going on, Chen Xi said, "If general Gongsun is not at ease, he can go back to Youzhou first. The matter of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang can be handed over to Liu Bei. As for the problem of Liu Yu in Youzhou, it can be solved by using Dong Zhuo."

Gongsun Zan didn't care about the coalition army, but he care about the people in Youzhou. He heard that the northern Hu were about to become bandits, he first thought about going back to Youzhou to beat the bandits. Which is different from most people in the Han Dynasty. There is no appeasement in Gongsun Zan's eyes.

General Baimayi and Baimayi Cong are famous name made out of the blood of the Hu people!

This is also the reason why Gongsun Zan and Youzhou Liu Yu almost fought. You should know that Liu Yu is an orthodox Han family member. In the Han Dynasty, one should pay attention to face of the Liu's name. But in the end, Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan in 193 AD.

As the governor of the state. Liu Yu was regarded as capable officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He governed the barren Youzhou to the point where it could compete with Jizhou, but he has one bad point, that is appeasement. Hu people, Youzhou governed well, but because of his care for the Hu people, he was constantly looted, and the people's wives were taken.

Gongsun Zan pays attention to the saying that only dead Hu people are good Hu people. And Liu Yu pays attention to turning Hu people into their own people. Naturally, the two people disagree with each other in political opinions. In the end, they drew their swords and faced each other. General Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu.

Later, when Yuan Shao battled Gongsun Zan, a large number of Hu people always came to help in the banner of revenge for Liu Yu. From this aspect, Liu Yu did have some reputation with the Hu people.

It can be said that if Youzhou governor Liu Yu was not pulling Gongsun Zan's hind legs, then the Hu people would have been driven out of the north of the great wall by Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan even might cross the Changbai mountains to clean up the Hu people in Bingzhou.

Chen Xi's current idea is to let Dong Zhuo take Liu Yu back to Luoyang and give a higher-ranking position to Gongsun Zan for his departure. At least higher than Liu Yu, so that he can withstand Liu Yu holding him back in the name of righteousness and return to Youzhou. It is definitely not a problem to let Gognsun Zan let go of his hands and feet to kick the Hu people in Saibei to death.

As for returning to his hometown now to clean up the Hu people, and quitting as the eighteen warlords is detrimental to the country. Huh? Huh? Who said that he quit? General Gongsun Zan went back to defend his homeland and guard the frontier, and his soldiers are still in the coalition, under the command of Liu Bei. Who said that he withdrew? General Gongsun had to return to Youzhou to guard the frontier only because of his own responsibilities.

Chen Xi explained clearly to the captain, and saw that the other party's eyes are becoming brighter and brighter.

It is difficult for the people in the Central Plains to imagine the pain of the people in the frontiers. This is why Gongsun Zan has such prestige in the northern land. This is why although Lu Bu's personality is very horrible, the soldiers of Bingzhou, including Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, did not abandon him. This also the reason why Lu Bu did not set foot in Bingzhou again after so many opportunities.

"Chen Xi, isn't it a bad thing to do it like this?" Liu Bei asked with a hesitant face after departure of captain.

"There is nothing bad, seriously. General Gongsun Zan probably wants to go back now. After having spend a few years in Youzhou, Liu Bei, you should understand general Gongsun's attitude towards the Hu people, and also understand Liu Yu's attitude towards general Gongsun." Chen Xi smiled and said.

Chen Xi can guarantee that, according to Gognsun Zan's way of thinking, if someone can make sure Liu Yu does not pull his hind legs. He will never care about such a stain in his reputation. For this kind of person, the award from higher officials is not as the people's rice bowl. After all, in history, Gongsun Zan had strict order not to attack, but when he saw the injure people hiding in Liaoxi county, he couldn't help but send troops.

He sent troops under unauthorized orders. And after all the invading Hu people were beaten back, Liu Yu, who he could not tolerate anymore, was also killed. After that, no one hold him back, and the Hu people looting was never heard again. But the more troublesome things came down, Gongsun Zan was not as good as Liu Yu in governance, and was immediately hit by the reality of the world and became shocked.
