    With funding from the wealthy Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yu is full of energy.

    Once upon a time, he could not even imagine an army of 200,000.  But now, he is actually able to lead an army of 200,000 on an expedition

    Youzhou has been suffering from injustice for a long time.

    Especially Gongsun Zan, a thorn in the side, repeatedly provoked Youzhou Mu¡¯s dignity and bottom line.

    Liu Yu didn¡¯t know how many times he criticized Gongsun Zan in public notices, each time becoming more severe, but Gongsun Zan ignored him.

    When the Allied forces attacked Yangzhou and were defeated, Yuan Shao attempted to invade Youzhou, but Liu Yu fought hard to hold Yuan Shao back.

    No matter what, you are kind to Gongsun Zan, right?

    But after returning, Gongsun Zan still went his own way.  Gongsun Zan took back as many supplies as Liu Yu sold to the foreigners.

    Now, Liu Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

    Before leaving, Cheng Xu stood up and said: "Master Zhou Mu, Gongsun Zan has won the hearts of the military in Youzhou. If he hadn't been able to resist the foreign cavalry, I'm afraid"

    "Shut up, Gongsun Zan is so ambitious, can't you see clearly?" Liu Yu scolded.

    "Yuan Shao is eyeing Youzhou. How can Master Zhoumu fight with General Baima and gain Yuan Shao's advantage?" Cheng Xu argued with reason.

    "Yuan Shao doesn't dare!" Liu Yu vowed categorically. No matter what, he is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a shepherd of Youzhou, so he has the right to manage Youzhou.

    The last time he scared away Yuan Shao gave Liu Yu great confidence.  If you can scare away the first time, you can scare away the second time.

    "Moreover, after Dongyang Hou captured Xuzhou, he was separated from Jizhou by the Yellow River.  Maybe the Yellow River can stop other princes, but it can never stop Dongyang Hou.

    If Yuan Shao wants to intervene in Youzhou's affairs, he has to consider the consequences.

    "General White Horse has done great service to Youzhou!" Cheng Xu, the officer in charge, wailed.

    However, his wailing did not stop Liu Yu.  The Youzhou family instigated: "This person must be Gongsun Zan's spy!"

    When Liu Yu heard this, he thought it was very reasonable and ordered Cheng Xu to be beheaded.

    So Cheng Xu died and sacrificed his blood to the flag.

    Liu Yu expressed his determination to attack Gongsun Zan. At this point, no one dared to dissuade him.

    "Lord, I am willing to be a pioneer!" Tian Chou said, he was the old man who followed Liu Yu.

    "It's easy to attack Gongsun Zan. What kind of vanguard do we need? Just follow our formation." Liu Yu said.

    Tian Chou was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to persuade him.  The Lord is good at everything, even surpassing Yangzhou in terms of benevolent governance.  But the ability of the commander.  It's really not a compliment.

    Liu Yu has little combat experience.

    He fought many times with foreigners, all of which were done by his subordinates.

    This crusade against Gongsun Zan was Liu Yu's first personal expedition.

    In this regard, Tian Chou had nothing to say. In fact, he also looked down on Gongsun Zan.

    "In this case, my lord might as well get rid of Gongsun Ji." Tian Chou said.

    "Why is this?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

    "Gongsun Ji is from the same clan as Gongsun Zan and has always been devoted to Gongsun Zan. It is not appropriate to keep him in the army." Tian Chou said.

    "This person has not committed any crime, how can he be eliminated casually?" Liu Yu shook his head, then thought of a way, and said, "Then let him go back, just to avoid suspicion."

    There is nothing wrong with what Liu Yu said.

    It¡¯s just that Tian Chou was very depressed because his suggestions were not adopted.

    Gongsun Ji was expelled inexplicably like this. He was confused and didn't understand what was going on. Later, after asking around, he found out what happened and couldn't help but feel angry.

    "Hateful Tian Chou, I didn't offend him, why did you frame me?" Gongsun Ji roared.

    "My lord, be silent, I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter." One of the guards said.

    "Say!" Gongsun Jidao.

    "I'm afraid that when my lord returns halfway, a group of bandits will suddenly appear" the guard said as soon as he stopped.

    Gongsun Ji suddenly realized that such robberies and killings were not uncommon in war years.

    Just because of a surname, Gongsun Ji not only lost the opportunity to make contributions, but also lost Liu Yu's trust.  Thinking of this, Gongsun Ji couldn't help but feel sad.

    Then why are you still here?

    After leaving the formation, Gongsun Ji simply followed Tian Chou's wish and went to Gongsun Zan.

    At this time, Gongsun Zan did not get the news that Liu Yu was going to attack him. As soon as Gongsun Ji arrived at the camp, he became the leader of the army.Bin.  He told Gongsun Zan about this, and Gongsun Zan was shocked.

    What Liu Yu didn't expect was that because of his soft heart, Gongsun Zan got the news in advance.

    "General, if you raise unjust soldiers in Youzhou, there will definitely be no good end for you!" Gongsun Jidao.

    Gongsun Zan deeply believed this.

    Because there was no defense, Gongsun Zan's troops were still plundering the grasslands, and there were only 30,000 troops in the city.

    Liu Yu attacks with 200,000 troops, how to resist?

    Gongsun Zan could only hold on to the wall and clear the country, while notifying the army to return and guarding it to the death.

    Liu Yu¡¯s army entered Youbeiping with ease, as if entering a deserted territory.

    "Gongsun Zan is nothing more than that." Liu Yu said, each battle report already making him feel elated.

    Either this city or that city was captured, and Gongsun Zan had no power to fight back.

    "My lord, don't be careless, or your arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Tian Chou said.

    "What does this mean? The people's support is with me!" Liu Yu said.

    "This is indeed the case. Wherever Liu Yu went, people lined the streets to welcome him. They were all looking forward to this legendary benevolent state pastor.

    Gongsun Zan could not keep up with Liu Yu in terms of governing the people.

    Seeing that the war was going so smoothly, Liu Yu said to his soldiers: "Don't hurt too many people, just kill Gongsun Zan alone."

    "My lord, how can soldiers restrain their hands and feet when fighting?" Tian Chou objected.

    Liu Yu rolled his eyes at Tian Chou and said, "Generals and soldiers are also human beings, and they are also the people under my rule. Gongsun Zan did evil on his own, how can he let others bear the responsibility?"

    Tian Chou wanted to say something else, but Liu Yu drove him out.

    "My lord, you are confused!" Tian Chou said helplessly.

    In the following battle, everyone had to be cautious, and no one dared to report casualties to Liu Yu during the encounter with the scouts.

    After arriving at the city where Gongsun Zan was, Liu Yu ordered everyone to surround him.

    "My lord, the last general invites you to fight!" Tian Chou said.

    Liu Yu agreed and watched the battle from the sidelines.

    When Tian Chou ordered his men to take out rockets, Liu Yu's eyes turned green and he shouted: "This is Gongsun Zan's crime alone. How can he destroy people's houses?"

    Tian Chou was stunned. How could he fight like this?

    Under pressure from Liu Yu, Tian Chou had to withdraw the rocket.

    At this time, the soldiers had already taken the ladders and were ready to charge.

    Tian Chou tentatively asked, "My lord, how about we not attack the city today and let Gongsun Zan come out and surrender alone?"

    "How wonderful! How wonderful!" Liu Yu said, stroking his palms, "This is very good."

    Tian Chou looked up to the sky and sighed, Lord, I was just talking casually!

    Then, Gongsun Zan saw a strange scene in front of him. An army of 200,000 people had been waiting in full formation, but suddenly they stopped attacking the city.

    The world is a wonder, but that¡¯s all.

    Soon, Liu Yu¡¯s envoy appeared. He was a highly respected corrupt scholar. He promoted benevolence and righteousness. He then reprimanded Gongsun Zan and finally asked:

    "Has the general been moved by Confucian morality? Why don't you surrender to Kaicheng? I will definitely protect the lives of your family in front of Mr. Zhou Mu!"

    Gongsun Zan sneered. He killed more than ten or two hundred thousand aliens. Does morality matter?

    Can you protect the people from being attacked by swords and guns?

    Gongsun Zan drove the envoy back.

    After the envoy returned to the camp, he said to Liu Yu: "Gongsun Zan has a heart of repentance, and the fact that he did not kill me is the best proof. It is a pity that he was not able to achieve enlightenment this time."

    Liu Yu had no choice but to let Tian Chou attack the city, but it was just a "slow attack", forcing Gongsun Zan to submit step by step.

    Tian Chou was so miserable that he couldn't tell. Could such a battle really make Gongsun Zan surrender?

    Liu Yu heard that the people nearby were having difficulty getting water, so he ordered his soldiers to help dig wells.

    The fields are often dry, and water conservancy projects have begun to be built.

    Brother, we are here to fight, not to do labor, okay?

    However, no matter how Tian Chou persuaded him, Liu Yu insisted on going his own way.

    "The army was created to support the people. Now that the people are in trouble, how can we stand by and watch?" Liu Yu Dayi said solemnly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
