    Of course Gongsun Zan also heard about Liu Yu's deeds, and he was very happy.

    There is such a stupid coach in the world?

    God is really helping me.

    Gongsun Zan has always been decisive in killing and not very resourceful, but occasionally he can still come up with a few good ideas.

    So he ordered firewood to be prepared and arranged in the city.  Then he opened the city gates and ordered his men to set fire to the houses.

    "Oh no, no, no! Gongsun Zan abandoned the city and ran away. He wants to burn the city!"

    When the scout reported the news, Liu Yu was shocked. Is there such a cruel person in the world?

    You can do things like burning down a city!

    The city is burned down, where will the people live?

    So, Liu Yu ordered the army to enter the city to put out the fire.

    "My lord, you must not do it, for fear of fraud!" Tian Chou advised.

    "Is there an ambush in the city?" Liu Yu asked.

    "No" Tian Chou said. He had already ordered people to go into the city to investigate in advance, and there was indeed no place to hide a large number of troops.

    "Isn't that the end? Hurry up and put out the fire, otherwise the house will be burned down!" Liu Yu said, and then added, "If you don't execute the order quickly, do you want military law?"

    So, Liu Yujun started fire-fighting operations.

    When Gongsun Zan saw this, he was overjoyed and ordered the ambushes scattered in the city to dispatch and light the prepared firewood.

    Fires soaring into the sky ignited.

    "No, we've fallen into a trap!" Tian Chou was shocked and immediately ordered his troops to leave the city.

    "kill!"

    There was a sudden cry of killing outside the city, and Gongsun Zan led an army of 30,000 to raid the remaining troops.  Gongsun Zan's army was composed of elite cavalry, and the remaining troops outside the city were instantly defeated.

    "Block the city gate!" Gongsun Zan ordered.

    The hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in the city were unable to pass through the narrow city gate.

    However, the scouts reported even worse news. The other three gates had long been blocked by boulders.

    The fire that filled the sky gradually swallowed up Liu Yu's army.

    "What should I do? What should I do?" Liu Yu was like an ant on a hot pot.

    At this time, Liu Yu's general Yan Rou gathered the scattered soldiers outside the city and killed them again. He joined forces with Tian Chou inside and outside to fight a bloody road.

    "Lord, leave quickly!" Tian Chou shouted.

    Liu Yu rode a big horse, panicking and bumping into each other, and finally met up with Yan Rou.

    Yan Rou fled to Juyong County with Liu Yu, but Tian Chou led the army to surrender.

    At this point, Liu Yu was defeated.

    However, Gongsun Zan had no intention of letting him go. After returning from the army outside the Great Wall, they went straight to Juyong County and surrounded the county seat.

    "Liu Yu, you didn't expect it, haha!" Gongsun Zan laughed outside the city, and ordered people to tie Tian Chou up and hang him on a high platform.

    Liu Yu almost cried when he saw this scene.

    "It's all my fault, otherwise how could this happen?" Liu Yu said sadly.

    There are only 10,000 troops in Juyong County. How can they resist Gongsun Zan's attack?

    As expected, Gongsun Zan broke through the city three days later and captured Liu Yu.

    "I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. How dare a little thief hurt me?" Liu Yu angrily shouted.

    Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, yes, he caught Liu Yu, how to deal with it is a big problem!

    "And Liu Yu is very popular in Youzhou. If he deals with it rashly, it will lead to a civil unrest.

    When he thought of this, Gongsun Zan couldn't help having a headache and summoned the generals to discuss.

    "Liu Yu is a hot potato. Tell me, what should we do?" Gongsun Zan said.

    "My lord, just kill him directly and leave him behind to cause trouble." Gongsun Fan said.

    If it were really that easy, Gongsun Zan would have done it long ago.  He shook his head and said, "It's not easy to kill."

    "This matter is simple. Liu Yu cherishes his life. It's better to spare his life and just control it. Youzhou's government affairs will still be handled by him. When there is no use value in the future, it will not be too late to kill him." Guan Jing said.

    Guan Jing is one of Gongsun Zan's important advisers. Although he is not very famous, he is deeply trusted by Gongsun Zan.

    "Leave him to fight for power with the lord?" Gongsun Fan disagreed.

    "My lord is a military commander. As long as the army is in his hands, why should he be afraid of scholar Liu Yu?" Guan Jing said.

    Gongsun Zan deeply believed that, in the final analysis, he was just a general.  It would be nice to have someone to handle government affairs for him.  Moreover, Liu Yu dealt with??Not bad, let's keep him alive for now.

    So, in the next month, Gongsun Zan captured Liu Yu's territory without any bloodshed, unified Youzhou, and became a great prince.

    However, the imperial court did not know about this and sent an envoy Duan Xun to increase Liu Yu's fiefdom and put him in charge of the affairs of the six northern states.  Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to become a former general, granted the title of Marquis of Yi, and took charge of the four prefectures of You, Bing, Qing, and Ji during the holidays.

    In this way, Liu Yu seemed very annoying.

    Guan Jing suggested: "My lord cannot kill Liu Yu, but the holy envoy Duan Xun can."

    "If you have any plans, tell me quickly!" Gongsun Zan said impatiently.

    "My lord, do you still remember that when Yuan Shao proposed to make Liu Yu the emperor when he rebelled against Dong Lianhe? This is a serious crime committed by the following people!" Guan Jing said.

    "Of course I remember, but didn't Liu Yu refuse?" Gongsun Zan was puzzled.

    "We can ask Liu Yu to change his words." Guan Jing reminded.

    Gongsun Zan finally understood.

    So, Gongsun Zan used this as an excuse to force the holy envoy Duan Xun to kill Liu Yu.

    Duan Xun looked confused: I just came to seal Liu Yu, not to kill him!

    However, Duan Xun knew that if he could not do what Gongsun Zan said, then he would not be able to leave Youzhou at all.

    Therefore, Duan Xun could only kill Liu Yu and send his head to Chang'an. On the way, he was kidnapped and buried by Wei Dun, Liu Yu's former official.

    Liu Yu was very popular in the north. After his death, the people cried bitterly, which caused a crisis of trust in Gongsun Zan.

    Once Gongsun Zan doesn't handle it well, it will cause a civil uprising.

    "My lord, this matter is simple. Isn't the reason why Liu Yu won the hearts of the people because of his simplicity?" Guan Jing said.

    Gongsun Zan understood immediately, so he conducted a large-scale inspection of Liu Yu's residence.

    At the beginning, Liu Yu was known for his simplicity. He would not change his hat when it was old, but would wear it after patching it.

    However, Gongsun Zan found a large amount of money in Liu Yu's home, which reached two million gold.

    This is already a wealthy family, and in Youzhou, it is the top wealthy family.

    Even Gongsun Zan couldn¡¯t afford two million gold.

    Not only that, Liu Yu also had dozens of concubines, all wearing high-end clothes.

    Liu Yu¡¯s tall image suddenly collapsed, and everyone was caught off guard.

    People will sympathize with a simple parent official, but will never feel sorry for a rich man with a huge fortune.

    How much oil and water do you need to plunder to have a deposit of two million gold?

    Even Gongsun Zan was unexpected, but after seeing the bill, he understood that all the money was from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

    The Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce are all good people. If it weren't for their generosity, how could Gongsun Zan have obtained such wealth?

    Moreover, after reorganizing Liu Yu's army, Gongsun Zan's strength increased sharply, and the number of the army reached 250,000.

    Military spending is also very sufficient.

    Gongsun Zan had an idea and sent a letter to Yangzhou to contact Liu Yu and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce in an attempt to cause civil strife in Yangzhou.

    Liu Ke was speechless after receiving the letter.

    Now the businessmen involved in the Youzhou plan not only suffered heavy losses, but also worried that Liu Ke would kill them.

    It¡¯s really sad and deplorable.

    "You guys think, what should I do?" Liu Kedao said, originally he thought that just killing the culprit would be enough, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

    Now the situation has become that the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce has funded Gongsun Zan with tens of millions of gold in supplies.

    How should you express this tone?

    "Severe punishment will not be given!" Mi Zhu said.

    "Kill a few people and rectify this trend." Guo Jiadao.

    ¡­¡­

    Suddenly, Liu Ke felt worthless for Liu Yu.  Such an upright person was so corrupted by the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

    "If you think about it carefully, how many officials in Yangzhou are more virtuous than Liu Yu?"

    "Fengxiao, is it time for you, the Inspectorate, to start working?" Liu Kedao.

    Guo Jia suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He did not expect that Liu Ke was still discussing how to deal with businessmen, and now the topic turned to official corruption.

    "The Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is capable. After all, I brought it up myself." Liu Kedao, "However, Fengxiao, you are also very capable. Your task now is to investigate carefully and not miss any suspicious points."

    "Yes, lord!" Guo Jia said seriously, he could no longer be an idle fish.
