Guo Jia took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Young Master, Jia thought it was time to use Liu Yu's move."

Liu Yu?

Yuan Fang's thoughts flew around, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his heart. Guo Jia's words instantly reminded him.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Fang raised a smile on his lips, as smart as him, and he understood Guo Jia's intention in a blink of an eye.

As the governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu was nominally the boss of Gongsun Zan. However, Gongsun Zan, a man who relied on his military power, did not take Liu Yu seriously at all. He ignored Liu Yu's advice and repeatedly raised troops to move south.

According to the information sent back by the memorial work, the relationship between the two had been very terrible. Gongsun Zan had been guarding against Liu Yu, but after he fell into Yuan Tan's trap, he was determined to take revenge and left Liu Yu behind.

Guo Jia's plan was naturally to use Liu Yu's hand to stab Gongsun Zan hard in the back.

If Nanpi was attacked and half of the food and grass were burned, and Gongsun Zan could still support it by levying and robbing, burning, killing and looting, then the nest caught fire and Gongsun Zan would undoubtedly retreat.

"Well, this plan is very good for me. I will light a fire in Gongsun Zan's nest to see how he will be arrogant." Yuan Fang sneered.

Seeing that Yuan Fang understood his intention so quickly, Guo Jia showed a little praise, but reminded him: "Although Liu Yu is gentle, he is a stubborn person at heart. The young master also has to send a capable lobbyist to Youzhou to persuade Liu Yu."

A capable lobbyist?

Yuan Fang's mind changed and said happily: "I happen to have a suitable candidate under my command. I'll send him to be a lobbyist, which is the most appropriate one."

Yuan Fang thought of Sun Qian.

In history, Sun Qian often acted as Liu Bei's messenger. Yuan Fang was a little impressed by Liu Bei's ability to identify people, which shows that Sun Qian is indeed a lobbyist.

When Du Chang saw him before, Yuan Fangxiao conducted an investigation and found that Sun Qian was calm and articulate.

It would be perfect to let Sun Qian be a lobbyist and persuade Liu Yu to send troops and attack Gongsun Zan behind him.

Yuan Fang immediately ordered Sun Qian to come to the plain from Beihai Kingdom quickly.

When Sun Qian got the order, he did not dare to hesitate at all. He traveled all night and rushed to Pingyuan City without stopping.

Yuan Fang then told Sun Qian about his intention and asked him to take his own letter, pretend to be a businessman, travel through Gongsun Zan's territory, and go to Jixian to persuade Liu Yu.

Sun Qian was very confident and did not refuse at all. He happily took Yuan Fang's order. After a little preparation, he left the city at night and sneaked to Youzhou.

Sun Qian walked cautiously all the way, passing through Bohai and Fanyang counties, and soon arrived in Ji County, where Youzhou Prefecture was located.

As soon as he entered the city, Sun Qian showed his identity as an envoy from Yuan Fang and went to the prefecture to pay homage to Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou.

In the lobby of the prefecture, Liu Yu was frowning and a few of his confidants denounced Gongsun Zan's brutal behavior.

In recent months, in order to raise food and grass, Gongsun Zan directly sent troops to the counties of Youzhou to force food and grass without his permission. Anyone who fought against the people would be killed without mercy.

The local officials in all counties were afraid of Gongsun Zan's military power and did not dare to stop him at all. They could only secretly write to Liu Yu and ask Liu Yu to make a decision.

"Oh, how could this Gongsun Zan do this? He is trying to force the people of Youzhou to the dead."

Liu Yu slapped the table hatefully, denounced Gongsun Zan's cruel behavior, but looked helpless and had no way to deal with it.

At this moment, the soldiers outside the hall came to report that it was Sun Qian, the envoy of Yuan Fang in Qingzhou, who came to ask for a visit.

In the central army's tent, Gongsun Zan was feeling much better than he had when he listened to Guan Jing's report on the burning, killing and looting of the troops.

In more than ten days, his army killed nearly 10,000 or 20,000 civilians on the plains, and stolen nearly 100,000 hu of food and grass.

The robbed food, coupled with the food and grass that were forced to be collected from Youzhou, was barely enough to make up for some of the burned food and grass.

After hearing Guan Jing's report, Gongsun Zan nodded with satisfaction and said coldly: "This is not enough. I will send an order to ask the generals to kill me hard, and also ask the Youzhou side to continue to collect food and grass for me, and the troublemakers who dare to resist the diplomatic relationship will be killed without any hesitation."

Guan Jing was busy and said with a smile: "The food and grass gap has been filled now. The policy of massacre must have killed that boy Yuan Fang. I heard that Yuan Fang could no longer be able to defend the boy in Beihai Kingdom. It seems that the moment when the lord takes revenge is not far away."

Guan Jing's compliment made Gongsun Zan very proud and couldn't help laughing.

Smile wildly and proudly.

Amid the smug laughter, the general Zou Dan hurried in with a serious expression, bowed and shouted: "Lord, the big thing is wrong. Liu Yu suddenly formed an army of 100,000 to attack the lord's jurisdiction!"

"What!"
