Chapter 245 Competing in the Central Plains ([-])

After listening to Gongsun Zan's analysis, Zhang Wenwu began to whisper, his first reaction when he panicked just now was to retreat, but now that he calmed down, he also felt that this was the best policy.

"My lord, whether this point you said can be realized, the premise is that our army can capture Yuyang County before the arrival of Gongsun Yue's army, otherwise, once caught in the predicament of attacking from front to back, the consequences will be disastrous!
Now there are still [-] cavalrymen stalking us. Although our army has [-] cavalrymen, it is still unlikely to stop them. At least [-] infantry should be deployed to cooperate.

In this way, even if the whole army is overwhelmed by the siege soldiers, there are only more than [-] people. At this time, the morale of the defenders is high. Although they lack arrows and defensive equipment, the chances of capturing Yuyang County in a short time are really slim. .

Therefore, the last general advocates retreating immediately. As for the ambush, we just need to be careful and send more scouts to explore the way. How can it be so easy to ambush our army! "

Seeing that all the civil and military personnel in the military tent were silent, Tian Yu, who had just passed the weak crown, stood up. Although he was still young, he already had extraordinary experience.

Tian Yu is a native of Yuyang Yongnu County. He joined the army when he was just over 16 years old. He was selected as a white horse righteous soldier because of his bravery. Although he is not yet 22 years old, he is actually considered a veteran.

However, Bai Mayi has many brave men, and although Tian Yu was promoted to a military officer due to his meritorious service, and managed two hundred soldiers, he was only a middle- and lower-level officer, and he did not show any special features.

After Liu Bei took shelter under Gongsun Zan's command, he deliberately got to know talents, and his first target was naturally the most elite Baima righteous follower, so Tian Yu appeared in his eyes.

Liu Bei has an ability beyond the reach of ordinary people, that is, he is good at knowing people. After a simple contact, he can see that Tian Yu is extraordinary, and his relationship quickly heats up when he intends to make friends.

Although Gongsun Zan had never discovered Tian Yu's special features before, he was still very displeased with Liu Bei's behavior of poaching people. After investigating Tian Yu, he found that he was indeed a great talent, so he promoted him to the rank of captain and focused on training him.

Tian Yu was originally a smart man, but under the suggestion of Gongsun Zan, he deliberately alienated Liu Bei. As a result, Liu Bei could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.

"Guorang, this general has made up his mind, if you dare to speak out to disturb our army's morale, don't blame this general for his military law!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan had made up his mind, Zhao Yun quickly grabbed Tian Yu, who was still about to speak, and shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to make Gongsun Zan angry again.

"Renyong, Zilong, Guorang, I will hand over all the cavalry to you, and I will send [-] elite infantry to help. If the tiger and leopard cavalry disturb the army to attack the city, I will ask you for it!

The rest of the generals all pressed forward and divided into three teams to attack the city without interruption. This general personally leads and supervises the team. Anyone who dares to retreat and pass the general will be killed immediately! "

"Yes, my lord!"

"Zhong Ning, it's not the right time yet. If my two brothers confront each other at this time, we will lose both. Whether or not the six counties west of Qinghe can be defended is another matter.

Don't bring up this kind of matter of relatives hurting enemies and taking advantage of outsiders in the future. Conflicts between us brothers can be resolved behind closed doors. We must not make people laugh like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers. "

Seeing that Gongsun Zan was looking unhappy, Guan Jing just smiled and didn't stop there, but continued to add fuel to the fire.

"My lord, if you don't be such a bad person, I'm afraid that some people will act preemptively, and then it will be too late for regret!"

"Okay, you won't take advantage of Yuan Shao and eat the inside out, right?"

"Wu Yan, you also saw just now that this general did not hesitate to offend your elder brother in order to save your lives, what should you do, don't I need to say more?"

"General Gongsun's great kindness to us Wuhuan people, Wuyan will never forget it. After returning, he will definitely persuade his tribe to pay tribute every year and never rebel!"

Although he had weathered many storms, after walking on the edge of the gate of hell, Wu Yan also felt a chill down his spine and was terrified.

"Wuyan, you can't stay in Wuhuan Mountain anymore, not only you, but also Tadun, Nanlou, and Su Puyan will follow this general to the south of Youzhou, and together follow this general to make contributions in all directions.

But you can rest assured, this general will tell Murong Ke to take good care of your tribe members, and will not let you have any worries! "

Seeing that Gongsun Yue took the method of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot to kidnap the leaders who invaded Youzhou this time and went south, Wu Yan looked sad and knew that the good times were over.

Wuyan's expression changes were in full view, but Gongsun Yue didn't pay much attention to it. As a loser, being able to survive is considered a great gift. If it were him who lost, the Wuhuan people would definitely not be so easy to talk about.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Yue sat on the position of the commander in chief, with Li Cunxiao at the head on the left, followed by Yue Yun, Dian Wei, Di Qing, and Qin Qiong.

On the right is Louban, the youngest son of Qiu Liju, followed by Murongke, the wise king of Wuhuan, Tadun, the wise king of Zuo, Wuyan, the leader of Wuhuan in Youbeiping County, Su Puyan, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi County, and Shanggu. Nanlou, the leader of County Wuhuan, and Pufulu, his general.

"Everyone, I called you here today to discuss compensation after the surrender. In order to save your lives, this general agreed to my brother's request. Do you have any doubts about this compensation request?"

Lou Ban was young and didn't have much say among the Wuhuan people, and now Tadun was taken as a prisoner, and the one who could really make the decision was the Right Wise King Murong Ke.

"General, although General Gongsun Bogui's request is very harsh, after we discussed it, we think we can agree, but after paying compensation to General Gongsun Bogui, if we pay the same compensation to General Gongsun Bogui again, we, the Wuhuan people, may not be able to survive this winter.

Please also, the general, have mercy on us Wuhuan people and give us a way out. We Wuhuan people will always remember the general's kindness. As long as the general is in Youzhou for one day, we Wuhuan people will never step into Youzhou again! "

"General, please give us a way out!!"

After Murong Ke finished speaking, he took the lead and knelt down in the military tent. Even Ta Dun endured the pain and lowered his always proud neck.

"Murong Ke, Ta Dun, my conditions have already been stated, cattle and sheep are related to whether you can survive this winter, compensation can be discussed, but horses are indispensable.

In addition, this general will select elites from among you to form Wuhuan Tuqi, each led by Yue Yun, Qin Qiong and Ta Dun. Lu is the assistant general.

In addition, the most elite soldiers will be selected to join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. After the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the full force will be controlled within 5000 people, and the "Tiger Cavalry" will be full of 2000 people. Li Cunxiao will be the commander and Dian Wei will be the deputy commander.

The "Leopard Cavalry" has a full staff of 3000 people, with Di Qing as the commander and Wu Yan as the deputy commander. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is the real trump card. The allocation of horses, armor and weapons is given priority, and the treatment is also the best. A survival of the fittest mechanism is adopted to maintain combat effectiveness!

Now you can discuss how many horses, cattle and sheep each will send, and after the discussion is completed, send people to your tribe and ask them to send the cattle and sheep to Youbeiping County and hand them over to General Gongsun Bogui. "

After Gongsun Yue finished speaking, he quietly waited for Murong Ke, Ta Dun and the others below to digest the information. Not long after, the leaders of several major ministries began to argue, and finally reached an agreement under the mediation of Murong Ke and Ta Dun. Opinion.

The next thing was much simpler. Gongsun Fan came on behalf of Gongsun Zan, and took away [-] Wuhuan Tuqi and [-] war horses. Of course, the Wuhuan Tuqi he took away were just ordinary elites.

I don't know whether Gongsun Fan forgot or did it on purpose. He didn't take any of the thousand Youzhou cavalry and five hundred white horse righteous followers back. Although many died on the battlefield, they still survived for thousands of years. Hundreds of people have solved the urgent need.

Gongsun Yue scattered 1000 people and placed them in the Wuhuan Tuqi led by Yue Yun, Qin Qiong and Ta Dun, in order to strengthen the control of the army.

The rest of the old team were distributed among the tiger and leopard cavalry, serving as basic officers such as chief, captain, and centurion, and firmly controlled [-] soldiers and horses.

One month later, when the whole army was preliminarily completed, Gongsun Yue led [-] cavalry, left Wuhuan Mountain, passed through Juyang County of Shanggu County, and returned to Ji County.

Those wounded soldiers who stayed in Juyang County at the beginning, those who could still serve in the army, returned to the army, and those who could not continue to fight on the battlefield were treated favorably and spent the rest of their lives in Juyang County.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's suspicious eyes, Guan Jing repeatedly waved his hands in denial. If he is not trusted by Gongsun Zan, he will not have a good life in the future.

"General, do you need to see me every day?"

Just when the atmosphere in the county government was in an embarrassing situation, a sergeant suddenly came to report Fengji's visit, which just happened to ease the atmosphere in the county government.

"Didn't Fengji go to rest? Why did the second brother just leave, and he appeared here? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

"My lord, no matter what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd, you will know it when you see it. If someone asks you to come to your door, it will not be out of courtesy."

Gongsun Zan stared at Guan Jing, and nodded his agreement after a while. After the sergeant withdrew, he led Feng Ji to the hall not long after.

"General Bogui, if there was any conflict in words just now, please forgive me. Before coming, my lord asked Ji to bring a thousand pieces of gold, hoping to turn hostility into friendship with General Bogui.

My lord has heard that General Bogui and Liu Youzhou are not on good terms, and now General Ziqing and Liu Youzhou are getting closer. If they have any conspiracy, how will General Bogui deal with it? "

Hearing Feng Ji mentioned Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan immediately flew into a rage. He would be worried about attacking Gongsun Yue, but he would not be soft when attacking Liu Yu.

After Du Yu finished speaking, everyone in the military tent looked at him, and then at Gongsun Yue, waiting for him to make a final decision.

"Guan Hai, do as Yuan Kai said, and bring the healthy and brave men who have been selected as soon as possible. Although their training time is short and their siege power is not enough, they are more than enough to defend the city, and they are the fastest growing after experiencing the war. way, especially the tragic battle effect is better.

Ziyi, you lead one hundred soldiers from the Wushuang Battalion to escort Guan Hai. This time, you will bring not only the selected healthy and brave men, but also the First Wuhuan Tuqi Army led by Ying Xiang.

I will write a letter in a while, and you will take it to the military adviser general, and he will understand what to do after reading it. "

"Yes, my lord!"

Tai Shici and Guan Hai stood up, and Gongsun Yue handed over the detailed information to the two of them, and the two ordered a hundred soldiers of the Wushuang Battalion, and left Jiecheng overnight.

"General, the spies have something to report!"

"Oh? Hurry up!"

Not long after Tai Shici and Guan Hai left, news came from the spies monitoring Fengji. Before the crowd dispersed, Gongsun Yue hurriedly sent someone to report the news.

"General, Fengji really went to Jiecheng County Yamen, and he stayed for an hour before leaving. Later, Guan Jing accompanied Fengji to the post house, and stayed for more than an hour. As for what they talked about, No way of knowing now!"

"Understood, let's go down."

After waving his hand to let the sergeant go down, Gongsun Yue turned his head to look at the civil and military personnel in the tent, his face was a little unhappy.

"Yuan Kai, what do you think of this matter?"

"My lord, this is just Fengji's plan to sow dissension. Although I have to guard against it, I can't be too defensive. I just pretend I didn't find out and proceed as usual.

What we have to do now is to wait for time, wait for our troops to be allocated in place, and at the same time step up preparations, especially the crossbow arrows lost in the siege a few days ago, and the defense equipment must be sufficient.

Another thing to note is that if this person Fengji also comes to visit our camp, my lord must not see him, otherwise it will only deepen the misunderstanding of General Bogui! "

After listening to Du Yu's words, Gongsun Yue pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed, and ordered all the generals to go back to the camp to train their troops and prepare for battle, leaving Du Yu alone to discuss in the army tent.

Seeing Gongsun Zan cut off the corner of the table in front of him with his sword, everyone in the tent did not dare to persuade him anymore, so they had to follow the order.

"Brother Zilong, why don't you let me persuade the lord that staying here is extremely risky to attack the city, and if you withdraw to Zhuojun, you can be invincible. Don't you understand the truth?"

"Brother Guorang, my lord hates Liu Youzhou to the bone, if Liu Youzhou recovers, there will be enemies on all sides.

If that step is really reached, the Lord will have to go to Qingzhou, then what is the point of this battle?
At this moment, the lord is in a fit of anger, so we can't listen to his advice. What the three of us can do is to hold back the ten thousand cavalry, without affecting the lord's attack on the city, and at the same time preserve as much as possible of our strength. If the siege fails, protect the lord and kill him! "

After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Tian Yu still felt a breath of depression clogging his chest, feeling suffocated and very irritable.

"Zilong, Guorang, don't talk so much, let's discuss how we can hold back the [-] cavalry led by tiger and leopard cavalry.

Li Cunxiao is not only brave and invincible, but the tiger cavalry under his command are also well-equipped, and the range of their continuous crossbows is farther than our cavalry bows, so we have to think of a way. "

Speaking of the tiger cavalry commanded by Li Cunxiao, a look of fear flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes. They were fighting fiercely with the cavalry commanded by Murong Ke, and they were about to gain the upper hand.

As a result, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly rushed out from the rear. The leading Tiger Cavalry used a continuous crossbow to shoot five arrows at once, killing and wounding the rear army in an instant. less than.

"General Tian, ​​if you want to resist tiger and leopard cavalry, you can only prepare more horses, fences, and horse pits. Use spear and shield soldiers to hold up large shields to defend in front, crossbowmen throw from behind, and cavalry on both sides harass and harass the cavalry. flexibility.

However, this method has advantages and disadvantages. Once our army's siege is not good, these traps will become obstacles when retreating, and it may not be worth the gain. "

"Don't get stuck in a horse pit. Prepare more fences to reject horses. Do your best to obey the destiny. You can't cut off the retreat of the army."
