System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Because his methods were too cruel, he was not taken seriously when Tao Qian was in office, and then in anger he defected to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan, who also had character flaws, immediately fell in love with this man who was compatible with him.

The liking here is not the liking of love, but the liking of seeing a confidant.

...

How terrifying is the scale of an army of over 100,000?

The team stretched for more than ten miles, and was assisted by more than 200,000 civilian laborers who escorted supplies for the army.

There are not many water networks in Youzhou, and the only way to reach Yijing is by land.

This also caused Liu Yu's army to march extremely slowly, like a turtle crawling.

Fortunately, the hard times are finally over.

"Mingsong, Yijing is ahead."

Xian Yuyin pointed to the city that was vaguely visible in front of him and said.

"Well, I see that all the grass and trees along the way have been burned."

"I'm afraid Bogui has implemented a scorched earth tactic."

"I'm afraid this battle won't be easy."

Liu Yu stroked his beard and glanced at the bare, blackened, charred woods around him.

"Gongsun Zan has only 30,000 soldiers, so he naturally wouldn't dare to fight our army head-on."

"But...how could the people be farming at this time?"

Tian Chou said with some difficulty in understanding.

"This is something."

“If the people don’t farm, won’t the harvest be delayed if the time is too late?”

"From what I've seen, it seems Bogui isn't as hateful as the rumors say."

Liu Yu shook his head and said disapprovingly.

Even when he saw the people diligently farming, he actually felt a little sorry for Gongsun Zan's evil deeds.

If you love him, of course you have to forgive him.

Yes, everyone has flaws, no one is perfect.

Bogui...Bogui...doesn't seem to have any advantages.

Just beat him!

"Orders, all commanders, to control their soldiers. Do not offend the people, do not destroy houses, and do not trample on farmland."

"This time, we will only execute the bandit leader Gongsun Bogui. We must not kill innocent people."

Liu Yu gave instructions to several generals around him.

"..."

Xian Yuyin, Xian Yufu and others were dumbfounded.

When marching and fighting, especially when conquering someone else's territory, it is difficult to avoid harassing the people.

The horses were frightened and trampled the fields.

When the army leads the way, sometimes they will march into an area covered with fields because they are not familiar with the road conditions.

You said your army changed its route?

The price paid for changing the route of a 100,000-strong army is far more than what that little bit of fertile land can compare to.

Changing the route, especially turning around, can cause chaos in the army if not handled with care.

If the enemy attacks you at this time, your army will be destroyed.

And what did Liu Yu say?

We are about to attack Gongsun Zan. Do not harm the civilians or innocent people. Just kill Gongsun Zan.

Anyone who can say such things can only be said to have no idea how to fight a war.

And that's exactly what happened.

Liu Yu went from being the Minister of the Imperial Clan to later becoming the Prime Minister of Ganling, and he comforted the people and prisoners of war in Jizhou who were defeated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Or he was transferred to Youzhou to become the governor, and all he handled were internal affairs.

At his age, the old man has never commanded an army of more than a thousand people.

What kind of person is Liu Yu? You ask him to command an army of 100,000, but he doesn't have the ability to do so.

Under the cover of night, a horse galloped towards Yijing.

"Ah!"

"I am Gongsun Ji, a general under Liu Yu. Go quickly to the city to report to Gongsun Bogui and tell him that I have something important to tell you."

"Go quickly!"

Gongsun Ji stopped his horse and shouted to the defenders on the city wall.

"Wait a moment, General. I'll go and tell the Lord!"

Upon hearing this, the defender on the city wall immediately responded.

Although Gongsun Ji also has the surname Gongsun, he is not the Gongsun of Gongsun Zan.

The two are not related by blood.

However, Gongsun Zan had already subdued Gongsun Ji a long time ago and kept him by Liu Yu's side as an internal supporter.

Not long after, the city gate creaked open and the two doors opened inward.

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Ji immediately urged his horse and rushed into Yijing.

Outside the gate of Gongsun Zan's mansion.

In order to show his importance to Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Zan actually greeted him personally at the door.
