Speaking of which, Liu Yu's current mindset is rather strange. In the past, Gongsun Zan always opposed him. Even when he tried to reason with Gongsun Zan, it was to no avail, and he nearly burst with anger.
Now suddenly, Liu Yu found that even if he praised Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan had nothing to say. Occasionally bringing up Gongsun Zan to compliment, Liu Yu thought, we have political disagreements, not enmity. Look how magnanimous I am.
One must know that in politics, silence is considered silent support. Liu Yu suddenly felt he had released a lifetime of anger. Occasionally praising the unfortunate Gongsun Zan, who had died in battle, made him consider visiting Jicheng to offer incense if he had time.
Liu Yu was well aware that, to Gongsun Zan, his most frustrating enemy was not Yuan Shao, but him, Liu Yu. Yuan Shao could be considered less skilled, but Liu Yu was seen by Gongsun Zan as a hindrance.
