The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Help
"Hmph, should I lose a county for nothing? And Gongsun Du begged me for money and food, and I would give it to you?" Gongsun Zan is also considered a hero, and he has reached his current position step by step by his own ability. It may be possible to suffer such a loss.

"My lord, money and food are trivial matters, and they are all gifts from Uncle Liu Huang to Gongsun Du, so there is no harm in giving them. Now, it is the best policy to withdraw troops for a truce, recruit troops and buy horses, and strengthen our strength." Tian Yu saw that Gongsun Du was still fussing about money and food. I feel very upset, what time is it now, and I still care about a little money.

"Now that my strength is greatly weakened, it takes a lot of money to recruit troops. If I give it to Gongsun Du, how can I recruit troops? Instead, let Gongsun Du strengthen his strength and raise troops to attack. How can I refuse?" How could money be given to Gongsun like this.

"My lord and Uncle Liu have a close relationship, so I can ask Uncle Liu for another batch of money. I think Uncle Liu will definitely live up to my request." Tian Yu turned his attention to Liu Bei.

"Here, I owe Xuande a lot, so how can I speak to him again." Although Gongsun Zan said so, his heart was already very excited, his eyes were flickering, Tian Yu saw everything in his eyes.

"My lord, I would like to go to Linzi, Qingzhou on behalf of my lord. On my behalf, I can thank Uncle Liu Huangshu for his help. At the same time, I can ask Uncle Liu Huangshu for a lot of money and food so that my lord can recover his strength." Tian Yu immediately stepped forward to ask for orders.

"Then Lao Guo asked me to go on my behalf to thank Xuande for his help, and I will definitely repay it generously in the future. At the same time, when Xuande's money and food arrive, I will send the money and food that Gongsun Du asked for." Gongsun Zan finally compromised, the most important thing now is to increase his strength, and fighting Gongsun Du would be very detrimental to him.

But Gongsun Zan kept a mind in mind that he had to get Liu Bei's money and food before giving the money and food in his hand to Gongsun Du.Originally, this was indeed a good calculation, but unfortunately, it was because of this small calculation that Gongsun Zan lost his life, and the entire land of Youzhou was also taken by Gongsun Du.

Just as Tian Yu braved the severe cold and left for Linzi, Qingzhou, the Gongsun Du tribe stationed in the west of Liaoxi began to gather slowly, and mobilized a lot of food and grass from Liaodong.

Gongsundu had already decided that once the weather got warmer and he still couldn't get the money and food that Liu Bei promised to give him, he would send troops to kill Gongsun Zan, and directly occupied the entire Youzhou.

If it was before, Gongsun Du didn't have the courage. After all, Gongsun Zan's strength is not inferior, and he has a very terrifying cavalry, Baima Yicong.

But today is different from the past, Gongsun Zan's strength has been greatly damaged now, and Baima Yicong has been completely wiped out by Yuan Shao.

Qingzhou, Linzi, Liu Bei's residence.

"Don't drive Tian Yu to Youzhou Mu, and meet General Hussars!" Tian Yu spent nearly a month traveling around and hiding, and finally passed through Yuan Shao's territory Jizhou and came to Qingzhou.

"Bo Sui and I are brothers and sisters, so there is no need for courtesies." Liu Bei stopped Tian Yu from saluting, then turned around and ordered someone to hold a banquet in honor of Tian Yu.

"General Hussars, my lord asked me to thank the general for his help. This is a gift of thanks." Tian Yu asked his followers to present the gift.Regardless of fatigue, Tian Yu started to complete his task as soon as he arrived.

"Bo Sui has a heart, and Bo Sui and I don't need to do this." Liu Bei asked people to accept the gift with a smile, and then sat down with Tian Yu.As for the gift, Liu Bei didn't bother to look at it. Today's Liu Bei really doesn't pay much attention to the so-called gift, unless it is a peerless treasure of the same level as He's Bi.

"General, for my visit this time, in addition to thanking the general for your kindness on behalf of my lord, I also..." Tian Yu just said the key point, and a person walked in quickly, interrupting Tian Yu's continuation .

"Hehe, don't Tian come all the way. You have worked hard all the way, so you should rest earlier." The person who came in was Chen Ziming. He had already received a secret report from the secret guard that Tian Yu came to Linzi, and he also guessed what Tian Yu was doing here.

Now is the critical moment when the arrow is on the string and Chen Ziming doesn't want Tian Yu to ruin his event.Originally, Chen Ziming arranged for Jie Tianyu to stay here first, and let him talk about it after a while, but Tian Yu was so anxious that he came to see Liu Bei himself.

After Chen Ziming received the news, he hurried over to prevent Tian Yu from revealing the real purpose here at the critical moment.

"Ziming is right. It's really my fault. Come here, please ask Tian not to drive down to rest." Seeing Chen Ziming winking at him, Liu Bei immediately understood and sent Tian Yu away.

Tian Yu can't help it, the master has sent a message to see off the guests, how can he stay here and not leave.

"Ziming, Tian Guorang has something important to come here, why stop him from speaking out?" Liu Bei is not an idiot either, he could tell at a glance that Tian Yu was hesitant to speak just now, and his face was in a hurry, there must be something important Talk to Liu Bei.

"Hehe, big brother, Tian Yu braved the cold winter and came all the way, and there will be nothing important. Now that Gongsun Zan has lost a lot, he must ask the lord for money to restore his strength." Chen Ziming did not hide Liu Bei's Tian Yu's arrival. There is nothing to hide about the purpose of asking for a meeting.

"Here, Bo Sui is in trouble. I will help him. Why don't you let Tian Guorang speak out?" Liu Bei was puzzled. Supporting Gongsun Zan with some money was nothing to Liu Bei, who was rich and powerful. He didn't know why Chen Ziming wanted to stop him.

"Brother, a few days ago, in order to repay General Gongsun's kindness in the past, I did my best. Not only did I support him with a large amount of food and grass, but also sent a huge amount of wealth. Please ask Gongsun Du to send troops to help and retreat Yuan Shao's soldiers. The old kindness should have been repaid. Now my lord I don't owe General Gongsun anything." Chen Ziming shook his head, disagreeing with Liu Bei's approach.

"Furthermore, Fuzhou continues to be supported by a large amount of money. Within two years, Fuzhou will not be able to support itself; the expansion of the navy will also require a lot of money; in the spring of the coming year, the army will go north, and the money, food, and grass will be even more numerous."

"Brother, have you thought about the needs of the people of Fuzhou, the navy, and the army of the Northern Expedition." Chen Ziming had to remind Liu Bei that he does have a lot of money and food, but Zi himself also needs huge expenses.

The money is hard-won, so Liu Bei cannot be allowed to waste it at will. Besides, if Liu Bei agrees to help Gongsun Zan at once, wouldn't Chen Ziming's calculations come to naught? In this way, not only will Gongsun Zan's Youzhou It was easy to get it, and the Gongsundu army in Liaodong also came to deal with Liu Bei's Northern Expedition army without any damage.

No matter what, Chen Ziming wanted to prevent Liu Bei from giving support to Gongsun Zan, which would harm his plans and the interests of Liu Bei's group.
