I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 170 The Rebel Alliance
Outside Feihu's mouth, a group of uninvited guests traveled in a hurry, accompanied by Gongsun Yan, the captain of the Baiqi Division in charge of Youzhou.

Gongsun Yan was originally from Jixian County, Youzhou, and had some blood relationship with Gongsun Zan. The Gongsun family was originally a wealthy family in Youzhou, with flourishing branches, and the Gongsun Yan family was once prominent.It was only later that he was framed by an adulterer, which led to the fall of his family.

It is said that the reason for the decline has something to do with Gongsun Zan. It was because of Gongsun Zan's retaliation, which made Gongsun Yan hate Gongsun Zan very much, and later joined Li Shimin's Bingzhou Army.

It was because of this relationship that Li Shimin sent him to Youzhou to work as a secret agent, responsible for intelligence collection in Youzhou and other places.Although this person's martial arts skills are not strong, but he has a flexible mind, is very alert, and is very familiar with Youzhou.

This group of people went west along Shanggu County, passed through Dai County and Feihukou, and was about to go to Laiyuan. The journey was a long way.

The leader was a burly man with piercing eyes and strong arms.This person is Xian Yufu, accompanied by Qi Zhou and Xian Yu Yin.

The three of them were originally the generals of Youzhou Mu Liuyu, and they had always been loyal and followed Youzhou Mu Liuyu, but later their superior Liu Yu was brutally killed by Gongsun Zan, and they vowed to avenge Liu Yu.

However, his own strength is too weak to make any progress, so he looks for allies everywhere.

Some time ago, they have been secretly contacting Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and even contacting Yan Rou, who is popular in Wuhuan's eyes, but deep down in their hearts, they don't want to borrow the power of a foreign race unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, to put it bluntly, this is a family matter within the Han people, and things will be complicated if the Hu people are involved.

…………

Did Cao Cao and Huangfusong organize an alliance against Li? Li Shimin was not to be outdone, and he planned to form an alliance of rebels. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is his friend. As long as he is the enemy of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, he is Li Shimin's friend.

And the old department of Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was naturally the focus of Li Shimin's attention. Thanks to his own foresight, Li Shimin immediately sent a letter to Gongsun Yan in Youzhou, asking him to try his best to contact Liu Yu's old department.

At the same time, Xiushu informed Xi Zhicai and Zhang Liao of his plan, asking them to find a way to take these old departments for their own use.

Naturally, Gongsun Yan didn't dare to be negligent. Fortunately, these people were all from Guangyang County, and Gongsun Yan was also from Jixian County, Guangyang County.

At first, these people didn't believe Gongsun Yan's identity, and thought that this person was Gongsun Zan's spy, an informant for infiltrating themselves. After all, they were all Gongsun Yan.

Later, when they encountered Gongsun Zan's army to encircle and suppress them, and saw a hundred elite soldiers under Gongsun Yan's command, covering them all the way to escape from Guangyang County and Shanggu County, everyone believed Gongsun Yan's identity.

In fact, Xian Yufu also noticed the abnormality of Gongsun Zan's mobilization of troops. After his many inquiries, he found out that Gongsun Zan had joined the alliance of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to attack Li Shimin in Bingzhou.

In addition, they often deal with Xianbei people, including some upper-class Xianbei nobles, and occasionally hear that Qianshan, another major force in Xianbei, has always been secretly supported by Li Shimin of Bingzhou.

This made Xian Yufu and others interested. Originally, their first choice was to go to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were old rivals, and in the original history, Xian Yufu and others did contact Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zan together.

But this time they heard that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had shaken hands to make peace, and that Xian Yufu was also in urgent need of help, which was why they traveled thousands of miles to find Zhang Liao.

When the crowd arrived at Feihukou, Gongsun Zan directly showed his waist badge, and the gatekeepers of the Bingzhou Army immediately let them go.

Looking at the people behind him, he said with a smile: "Generals, this time our army has assembled 10,000+ troops in Laiyuan, Feihukou and other places, and everyone's revenge will be avenged."

"Well, we fully believe in the strength of the Bingzhou Army. As long as we can get revenge, everything is negotiable."

Xian Yufu turned his head to look at the group of people, and said: "I think time is running out, so I don't want to waste time waiting here. I'd better go to Laiyuan overnight and meet General Anxi, General Zhang."

Everyone also nodded, and Gongsun Yan also agreed very much. After changing a few horses at Feihukou, he took a short rest and set off for Laiyuan overnight.

…………

Laiyuan is actually a small town in the mountains, but the location is very good.

Laiyuan is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one way to enter, which can be regarded as very hidden. In addition, when Li Shimin occupied this place before, he had already built infrastructure such as roads and barracks, turning Laiyuan into a military building. City, this is conducive to the march of Zhang Liao's army.

Fifty miles east of Laiyuan, you can go straight to Zijingguan. After you leave Zijingguan, you can go to Zhuojun in Youzhou. This is Gongsun Zan's key attack direction. Garrisoning troops in Laiyuan can effectively guard against the threat of Gongsun Zan in the north.

Moreover, to the north of Laiyuan is Feihukou, through Feihukou, you can directly enter Dai County, and along Dai County to the northeast, you can directly kill Shanggu County and Yuyang County, directly copying Gongsun Zan's lair.

Xian Yufu and others rushed to Laiyuan along this road.

…………

After the army stopped at Yanmenguan for a few days, Zhang Liao's army quietly marched towards Laiyuan. The 10,000+ army plus a supply of food and grass marched mightily towards the mountains.

Thanks to Li Shimin's early development, the mountain roads on both sides were relatively smooth, otherwise it would be very difficult for a hundred thousand troops to march in the mountains.

After another half a month, the army finally arrived in Laiyuan, and all kinds of food and grass materials were stored enough to support the army for half a year, and everything was ready.

…………

Zhang Liao, Xi Zhicai, Bu Xugu, Yan Xing and others were quietly waiting for someone to arrive in Laiyuan's army camp.

The ones waiting are naturally Xian Yufu and others. In fact, this is also one of Xi Zhicai's most important missions, which is to connect with these forces that resist Gongsun, and Xian Yufu is naturally the first choice.

If things were managed properly this time, Gongsun Zan would definitely catch fire in his backyard. When the time came, he would attack both inside and outside, and there would be a high probability that he would be able to defeat Gongsun Zan and win Youzhou.

At present, it seems that the feasibility is very high. It is no wonder that Zhang Liao and others attach so much importance to it.

In addition, Xi Zhicai has another important mission, which is to persuade Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou together, which is more difficult.But Xi Zhi has a way, of course, this is something for later.
