Yuan Shao never expected that when his clan members had the advantage, he would advance lightly and pursue Gongsun Zan.

As a result, he not only gave up his life, but also made the situation reverse, allowing Youzhou to change its ownership and Gongsun Zan to become the master of Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan became the ruler of Youzhou, making Yuan Shao even more dangerous.

To the north is Gongsun Zan and to the south is Guo Peng. If the two join forces, they will die without a place to bury themselves!

Yuan Shao suddenly felt a little desperate.

But at this moment, Xun Chen's advice calmed down Yuan Shao.

"Gongsun Zan is only a county magistrate. He killed the governor appointed by the court with his position as a county magistrate. It was originally an unjustified thing and could be called a rebel. Now he calls himself the Lord of Youzhou Jihou, which is even more unjustified and unjust, and the rebellion is obvious.

Although the clan had no great achievements, he had been guarding Youzhou since Xiaoling. He had a wide power and great influence. All forces in Youzhou obeyed him. Once he died, he was killed by Gongsun Zan. How could the old subordinates accept it?

Now Gongsun Zan suddenly defeats the strong with weak, and seems to be strong, like the beginning of the morning sun, but there must be some people below. The old subordinates of the clan will definitely not accept this situation, and there is no need for the general to take action. Naturally, someone will send Gongsun Zan's head."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he felt that this was the reason, so he nodded and felt relieved.

Then he summoned the strategists to discuss how to suppress Gongsun Zan by supporting the anti-Gongsun forces in Youzhou and gain time for his own development.

The strategists each offered their own suggestions, racked their brains for Yuan Shao's safety, and came up with many ideas that were either bright or insidious.

The development after the incident was not beyond the expectations of Yuan Shao's counselors.

Before Gongsun Zan could become the lord of Youzhou to enjoy honor and status, the old subordinates of the clan raised troops to resist.

Gongsun Zan had no choice but to send troops to fight against the old subordinates of the clan, and sent troops everywhere to escort the prefects he appointed to take office, take charge of the local area, and wipe out the old subordinates of the clan.

In order to prevent the power of the clan members from rekindling, Gongsun Zan actually killed the clan members' family, believing that this would make the political demands of those old subordinates rootless duckweed.

Well, not long ago, Dong Zhuo thought so.

So the conflict in Youzhou is still quite fierce.

Gongsun Zan was exhausted from expedition to local forces and was unable to launch an attack on Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to conquer Gongsun Zan, but he was sad to find that the military rations were exhausted and he could not fight at all.

So he had to step up the search for the local area, raise military rations, and prepare to cooperate with the old subordinates of the clan to attack Gongsun Zan, and attack Gongsun Zan on both sides.

The news reached Guo Peng, and Guo Peng was not very surprised because he had thought of this possibility long ago.

The clerk once wrote a letter to Guo Peng, saying that he was dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan and wanted Guo Peng to write a letter to condemn Gongsun Zan and tell him not to keep causing trouble.

Guo Peng didn't dare to say that his letter would definitely make Gongsun Zan restrain himself.

During the negotiations with Dong, Guo Peng could see Gongsun Zan's extreme character.

No one can reverse his thoughts when he knew what he knew. He was so extreme that he was a certain degree of extremeness.

Moreover, it takes about ten days to travel from Youzhou to Qingzhou, and it takes more than half a month to get back and forth. It is too late to let Guo Peng know and mediate everything.

Not to mention that Guo Peng doesn't want to mediate at all.

Youzhou without clan members and Gongsun Zan is a good Youzhou, and it is the Youzhou that belongs entirely to him.

How can someone like Guo who has a strong desire to control himself tolerate the existence of forces on his territory that he cannot control?

If you can use Yuan Shao's hands to kill them all, you can give yourself a legitimate excuse to take complete control.

Although it is indeed a bit regretful.

The lord, an old superior who had known each other since the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, died very unpredictable.

The relationship is not very good, but I still take good care of Guo Peng. I have never been embarrassed by Guo Peng. I am a relatively ideal superior.

He died like this.

Once the clan died, the peace situation in Youzhou that has been maintained for several years since the chaos and has been in the present state of several years will no longer exist, and it will inevitably fall into a new chaos.

Several were broken and several were destroyed.

Guo Peng sighed deeply.

Then he grinned.

It is better to die at the hands of the enemy now than to die at my hands in the future, right?

It is better to die with a good impression of me in the first place than to die with a thunderous view of the future, right?

I still feel a little reluctant to meet and ask my colleague to take action personally.

Mr. Guo smiled and poured a glass of wine, sprinkled it on the ground facing north, sending his condolences to the clan.

Then he pretended to write a letter denounced Gongsun Zan's killing of his clan's family, expressed his strong dissatisfaction with him, laying the foundation for his future advancement to Youzhou, and preventing the possibility that Yuan Shao would not kill Gongsun Zan if he was too useless.

The death of the clan opened the prelude to the collective exit of the old bureaucrats of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the new chaotic times.

The old bureaucrats in peacetime cannot adapt to the high pace and unconventionality of fighting for hegemony in troubled times, and will inevitably retreat to the front line at a very fast speed.

The new generation of warlords will quickly take over their position and achieve their careers.

The Eastern Han Dynasty would gradually fade away with the departure of the old bureaucrats, and the new era would come with the growth of young people full of fighting spirit.

It seems to confirm Guo Peng's view.

In mid-May, when Guo Peng was in charge of the military training in Lu County, he received an unprecedented news.

Dong Zhuo is dead.

He was killed by Situ Wang Yun and General Lu Bu.

When Guo Peng received the news, Dong Zhuo must have been dead for more than half a month, so if you want to say that Dong Zhuo must have died in April of the third year of Chuping.

If the death of the clan only disrupted Youzhou, causing the peace in Youzhou to no longer exist and it is difficult to affect the situation in the Central Plains, then Dong Zhuo's death is the news that shocked the world.

Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and the disbandment of the Dong Alliance, the world has entered a period of relatively stableness.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for Hebei, Yuan Shu faction gained a foothold in the Central Plains, Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, Liu Yan was in Yizhou, and Dong Zhuo was in Guanxi.

The competition between each other is maintained at the regional level and has not entered the national level.

Once Dong Zhuo died, the forces in the world suddenly disappeared.

It was not a big deal at all. Dong Zhuo died and died. The key is that Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor.

Now everyone can fight for hegemony freely and ignore the court, because Dong Zhuo controls the court, and is actually a thief in Han, so everyone does not obey the court's orders.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the scholars are in power. Once the emperor issues an edict, how can we continue to pretend to be confused and fight for hegemony?

The situation was destroyed and unbalanced.

Once the emperor is free, it is not a good thing for all the ambitious princes in the world.

It is not a good thing for those who invest resources in the princes.

Everyone is ready to face the troubled times, why do you, Dong Zhuo, suddenly die?

Can't we continue to be a thief and make it convenient for everyone to act?
