35 Chapter 35

Han Yu's camp is full of excitement.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan's camp is full of depression.

In yesterday's battle, Zhao Yun beheaded Hua Xiong with warm wine and made a wave.

Especially after this battle, Zhao Yun's strength was displayed, which greatly increased Zhao Yun's fame.

So many people found out that Zhao Yun was originally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan.

However, the day before yesterday, Han Yu traded Zhao Yun for twenty horses for Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan didn't know who he was, and the matter of handing over a general under him became everyone's laughing stock.

Gongsun Zan was furious about this.

Gongsun Zan was not angry at Zhao Yun's strength, but from the ridicule, he was getting.

Moreover, that brat Han Yu caused all this.

Gongsun Zan's heart was full of anger and killing intent.

He wants to get rid of Han Yu quickly.

Nevertheless, Gongsun Zan's status made him unable to do such things.

Hence, Gongsun Zan turned all of his anger towards Han Yu's father, Han Fu.

This is more for the benefit of Gongsun Zan.

Since Han Fu's son deceived this general and made him lose face, he had no choice but to take Jizhou to vent his hatred.

As soon as the idea of taking Jizhou came up, it immediately filled Gongsun Zan's mind.

Compared to Jizhou, what is the worth of Zhao Yun?

Gongsun Zan's long history advisor Guan Jing knew Gongsun Zan well and said to Gongsun Zan:

"Han Yu obtained Zhao Yun from the general the day before yesterday, it was hateful, and Zhao Yun managed to behead Hua Xiong so that the Jizhou army got a lot of merits.

After the General waited for Dong Zhuo to retreat, it would be better for us to take the opportunity to take Jizhou as ours, and at the same time, we can also shed the shame from yesterday."

When Gongsun Zan heard the words, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Although I have this intention, the people of Jizhou are prosperous, and there are still many soldiers. Now there are Han Yu, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, and others to help them. I am afraid that it will be difficult to plan this for a while. Can Shiqi (Guan Jing's courtesy name) help me?"

Guan Jing said with a smile: "General Gongsun worries too much. Although Han Yu is talented, but he is still young and has no official or even half-ranking position, how many people in Jizhou are willing to listen to him?

The governor of Jizhou Han Fu is also a mediocre and inactive person. If the general does not take Jizhou, others will certainly seek Jizhou.

I heard that the leader of the Alliance Yuan has always wanted to seek Jizhou. Today, Han Yu offended alliance leader Yuan in public. Presumably, alliance leader Yuan already hated Han Yu to the core, and he wanted to seek Jizhou even further.

If this was the case, why didn't the generals and leader of the Yuan alliance just ally together to divide and get Jizhou equally?"

Gongsun Zan pondered after hearing the words, "Even though Yuan Shao is the alliance leader, he only has one county. Even if we manage to take Jizhou, and I split Jizhou with Yuan Shao, this still isn't what Zan wants!"

Guan Jing smiled and said, "General Gongsun, there is no need to worry, we will conspire with Yuan Shao to take Jizhou together, although we agreed to divide Jizhou equally, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let Yuan Shao lead the battle for us.

When the time comes to pacify Jizhou, Yuan Shao's strength will decrease greatly. At that time, the general personally led the white cavalry to attack, what would Yuan Shao use to compete with us?"

"The advisor's words are great!"

Gongsun Zan smiled happily, and continued, "Shiqi, I will have you go to Yuan Shao in a bit."

Guan Jing said: "Don't worry General, Yuan Shao has planned for Jizhou for a long time, but he is not strong enough to take Jizhou by himself, so even if he knows our plan, he will still agree. I will go to Yuan Shao's camp now. Let's meet again later to make further plans for Jizhou."

"Good!"

Gongsun Zan nodded.

After Guan Jing left, Gongsun Zan felt much better.

At this time, Gongsun Zan was less worried about losing Zhao Yun and was more ambitious about occupying Jizhou.

Compared to the wealthy Jizhou, what value does Zhao Yun have?

…

Yuan Shao's main camp.

Yuan Shao paced back and forth, looked at Guan Jing, pondered for a while then asked, "Did brother Bogui say that?"

"In front of the Alliance Leader, would this one dare to speak nonsense?"

Guan Jing took a peek at Yuan Shao and found that he didn't mean to be angry with him, and continued:

"Now that Zhao Yun beheaded Hua Xiong, the alliance leader has been robbed of the limelight by Jizhou Governor Han Fu. The third Warlord of the fourth generation Yuan family has many former officials, and Han Fu is just a disciple of the leader family, but now he is above you the Alliance Leader. You are restricted by Han Fu everywhere, has the alliance leader perhaps thought about this?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and smiled and said, "Shiqi is joking; now I am the leader of the alliance, naturally all the Warlords will cut down our enemy, but all of this is for our purpose, to defeat that bandit Dong Zhuo, how could Shao be such an intolerant person?

Now that all the eighteen Warlords have gathered, we must remain united as one. How can I plan for someone's downfall personally? Hurry back and tell Bogui what happened here today, I'm going to pretend this never happened, and you shouldn't bring this up again in the future."

Thinking of the Warlords' praise of Han Fu during yesterday's banquet, Yuan Shao still felt uneasy for a while.

It was just that he was still the leader of the alliance now, so it was naturally impossible to make a promise to Gongsun Zan.
