Three Kingdoms King of the North

Hearing that Han Zhan was willing to give up all the counties and counties he occupied to himself, Gongsun Zan couldn't help feeling a little itchy. He wished he could defeat Yuan Shao immediately, and then take the opportunity to seize a few more cities.So after thinking for a while, he asked Xun You: "Mr. Xun, do you have any idea to defeat Yuan Shao?"

Xun You smiled slightly, "Since Yuan Shao refuses to fight, let's attack the camp."

Hearing what Xun You said, Gongsun Zan couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Although we have more soldiers and horses than Yuan Shao, can we succeed in storming the camp at this time?"

"Please don't worry, general." Although Xun You was slandering in his heart, thinking that Gongsun Zan was an indecisive and lacking courageous lord, and would not be able to achieve any great things, he still said the strategy he had thought up: "The soldiers and horses that Yuan Shao can use now , are all in the opposite camp, at least for ten days and a half months, he will not get a single soldier to supplement. If you wait for him to recover and try to defeat him, it will not be so easy."

"Brother," Liu Bei, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said to Gongsun Zan, "If Mr. Xun's words are true, then Yuan Shao can use no more than 1 soldiers and horses. After some of them were sent to guard Guangzong City, There are even fewer soldiers left. We now have [-] soldiers, and if five of them beat one of them, it is sure to win."

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up.After a moment's pause, he looked at Xun You and asked, "Mr. Xun, I wonder if what my virtuous brother said is accurate?"

Xun You glanced at Liu Bei first, thanking him in his heart for speaking for him, which would give him greater confidence in persuading Gongsun Zan to send troops, so he nodded and said, "What Liu Shijun said is exactly what Xun wanted to say to the general. "

Gongsun Zan slapped the table with his hand and said, "Okay, since this is the case, we will send troops to attack Yuan Shao's camp. All generals obey orders!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Seven or eight generals stood up at the banquet, respectfully waiting for Gongsun Zan's order.

"Go back to your respective battalions immediately and prepare your siege equipment." Gongsun Zan said to the generals, "Send troops at tomorrow's hour to attack Yuan Shao's camp."

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, horns sounded in Gongsun Zan's camp.The soldiers who were still sleeping were awakened by their corporal commanders, department commanders, and team leaders one after another, put on their armor, and gathered outside with their weapons.Gongsun Zan's personal soldiers galloped back and forth in the camp on horseback, passing on Gongsun Zan's orders one after another.

After about two sticks of incense, Gongsun Zan's army left the camp one after another and formed formation outside the camp.Liu Bei looked at the teams leaving the village one after another, and asked Gongsun Zan in a low voice, "Brother, do you think the soldiers should have breakfast before going out to fight?"

"Xuande," Gongsun Zan said to Liu Bei with a sideways face, "You also said yesterday that Yuan Shao's troops are limited and he is no match for us at all. We can completely wipe them out before we have breakfast."

Regarding Gongsun Zan's method of "destroying the imperial food", Liu Bei hastily persuaded him, "Brother, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If we can quickly capture Yuan Shao's camp, then everything will be fine. But if something unexpected happens , it was too late to take down the camp, and the soldiers were unable to fight any more because they hadn’t had breakfast, and the gains would outweigh the losses.”

Fortunately, Gongsun Zan is not too stubborn. Hearing Liu Bei's persuasion, he felt that he was a little too hasty, so he called a junior officer and told him: "Send the order, after the army eats outside the camp, they will attack the Yuan camp." attack."

"Take orders!" the little principal agreed, and ran out of the big tent in a hurry.

Shan Jing and Tian Kai, who were in the mood for war, waited outside the camp for a long time, but they did not see Gongsun Zan issuing an order to attack. Instead, they sent an order for the soldiers to eat outside the camp.The two got together to discuss for a while, and then both returned to the camp to find Gongsun Zan.

Shan Jing asked loudly: "Master, since the army has assembled, why don't you attack Yuan Ying immediately, instead stop to eat?"

Chapter 0126

After Xun You persuaded Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Ying, he immediately sent a messenger to Han Zhan to inform Han Zhan of the matter, and asked him to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.

After Han Zhan received the letter, he discussed with Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, cousin Gongda wrote to me, saying that Gongsun Zan intends to attack Yuan Ying tomorrow morning, and asked us to send troops to attack Yuan Shao. What do you think?"

After Guo Jia read the letter, he raised his head and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, Jia thinks we should send out troops, and the whole army should be sent out. As long as Yuan Shao is defeated, the territory he controlled in the north of Guantao will be completely lost."

"The whole army is dispatched?!" Regarding Guo Jia's suggestion, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning: "We just recruited thousands of soldiers under Yuan Tan two days ago, and their loyalty is not very high. Let them go with the army Well, there is a possibility of rebellion; stay in the city, and fear that they will stir up trouble."

"My lord, don't worry." Guo Jia suggested to Han Zhan again: "Guangping City is not far from here, you can order General Zhang He to lead his troops at Xingye, and when his troops arrive, we will send troops at Jieqiao before it is too late. "

"What Feng Xiao said is very true." Regardless of the fact that Zhang Yun had joined him not long ago, Han Zhan was very relieved of him, so he said bluntly: "You Jun and Yuan Hao are staying behind, Jizhou must be as solid as gold."

It was already dark when the messenger was sent.Guo Jia stood at the entrance of the main hall, looked up at the starry sky and said, "My lord, General Zhang He's army will arrive tomorrow morning. Jia needs to rush to the barracks immediately and tell General Zilong about the dispatch." He took a few steps outside, He stopped suddenly, and asked Han Zhan with a mysterious expression: "My lord, didn't the rich businessman Hu Cha give you two singers a few days ago, have you been singing every night these two days?"

Hearing Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan couldn't help but look ashamed and said: "Fengxiao, have you forgotten that this Marquis is still in the period of filial piety, how can he marry a wife and take concubines casually? Those two women are just warming the bed. Once the bed is warm, let them leave naturally."

"Two stunning beauties, you really only use them to warm the bed." Guo Jia shook his head, and said with a look of hatred for iron, "It's really a waste of things, a waste of things!"

Seeing Han Zhan's embarrassing look, he added: "In the past, the emperor issued an edict to replace the moon with the day, that is to say, after the death of parents, they only need to observe filial piety for 36 days instead of the usual 36 days for three years. It's been a month."

Handi? !After hearing this, Han Zhan said to himself, that is the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Is his edict still effective?Just as I was about to ask Guo Jia for advice, I heard him continue: "Although the filial piety has been restored for three years now, as long as you don't marry wives and concubines during these three years, even if you favor a few singers, it won't hurt. "

After Guo Jia left for a long time, Han Zhan was still standing at a distance digesting what he said: As long as you don’t marry a wife or take concubines during the filial piety, and just have a good time with the singer at home, no one will gossip.

When Han Zhan returned to his room, he saw that it was his turn to warm the quilt today. He came out of the quilt wearing only a red apron, knelt in front of him, and said timidly, "Master Hou, the quilt has been prepared for you." It's warmed up, you can go to bed." It may be because of the cold weather and the fact that she was wearing too little clothes, her voice trembled slightly when she spoke.

Han Zhan helped Fei Cui up, hugged her in his arms, and said affectionately, "It's cold outside, you'd better go back to bed."

"Master Hou, the bed has been warmed up for you." Fei Cui lowered her head and said, "I'm going back to my room now."

"Stay here." Although Jade is his singer, Han Zhan still politely said to her, "Stay with me tonight."

In the early morning of the next day, Han Zhan was awakened by the sound of Patch knocking on the door outside. He gently removed the hands and legs that Fei Cui was pressing on him, turned over on the bed, put on a robe and opened the door.

Seeing that it was Han Zhan who opened the door, Patch couldn't help being taken aback. He quickly glanced at the couch in the room, saw Fei Cui lying soundly asleep on the bed, and quickly said in a low voice: "My lord, Mr. Guo and the others are waiting in the main hall." You said that General Zhang's army has already entered the city."

"Go and tell them, I'll go right away."

"Here!" Patch agreed, and then left quietly.

Han Zhan closed the door and was about to dress himself when Fei Cui, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes.Last night when Han Zhan put the jadeite on the bed, when he was doing that spring night, he unexpectedly found that the jadeite was untouched.The two tossed and tossed for a whole night. Han Zhan felt refreshed when he woke up in the morning, while Fei Cui felt weak all over, and he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.At this moment, she saw Han Zhan changing clothes by herself, and she said a little embarrassedly: "Master Hou, I will wait for my servant to change your clothes for you." She was about to sit up when she said that, but just as soon as she moved, she let out an "ouch" and became soft again. Lie down softly.

Han Zhan hurriedly sat by the couch, kissed her on the forehead, and said affectionately, "Fei Cui, you'd better go to sleep, I will change my own clothes."

When Han Zhan came to the main hall, he saw Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhang He and others lined up on both sides.After the ceremony was over, Han Zhan said to Zhang He, "Jun, I plan to lead my troops to Jieqiao and attack Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan. I will hand over this Jizhou city to you and Yuan Hao."

"Please don't worry, my lord." Zhang Yun clasped his hands and replied, "As long as Zhang is alive, he will never let Jizhou get into any trouble."

Regarding Zhang Yun's statement, Han Zhan nodded with satisfaction, and then told him: "General Jun, there are thousands of Yuan Shaoxin's troops in the barracks. During the time I am not in Jizhou, please train them well, maybe They will be useful in the next war."

"Zhang He takes orders!" Zhang He replied loudly.

Just as Han Zhan's army set off from Jizhou City, Gongsun Zan's army began to attack Yuan Shao's camp after breakfast.

As early as when Gongsun Zan's army was gathering, he was discovered by Yuan Shao's scouts, and he immediately returned to the camp to report to Yuan Shao.After Yuan Shao heard this, he threw the helmet on the table on the ground of the big tent, and said angrily, "It's really bullying by dogs, and Gongsun Zan is really bullying. I haven't sent troops yet, but he sent troops first Yes. Where is Yan Liangchou?"

These few days Gongsun Zan's subordinates were fighting outside the stronghold, and Yan Liangchou could not take it anymore, if Jushou hadn't tried his best to persuade the two of them, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy", they would have rushed out to fight Gongsun Zan's subordinates.One must know that even if all of Gongsun Zan's subordinates were sent out, they would not be a match for the two of them at all.

Hearing Yuan Shao calling himself at this moment, the two of them rushed out: "Here!"

Yuan Shao drew out a command arrow, held it in his hand and said to the two of them, "You two lead three thousand soldiers and horses into battle, and you must kill Gongsun Zan to death."

Just when the two were about to step forward to receive the order, Ju Shou stood up and persuaded, "My lord, no, don't go to war!"

"Why?" Yuan Shao asked angrily.

"Gongsun Zan has an army of [-], while our army is only [-]." Ju Shou said with a sad face, "If we fight in the field, we will not be their opponents at all. Please be patient for a few more days, my lord. After Xun Youruo's army arrives, we will go out to fight with them." Gongsun Zan will fight to the death."

Usually after Jushou offered advice to Yuan Shao, Feng Ji would come out and sing the opposite, but today he still stood there without saying a word. After all, Jushou only saved his life a few days ago, so he can't turn his face and deny people so quickly.

Yuan Shao always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere today. After thinking for a long time, he realized that Feng Ji hadn't come out to sing against Ju Shou. He held the command arrow and asked Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu, what do you think?"

"Report to my lord." After thinking about it, Fengji felt that Jushou's proposal was the safest. In the case of a huge disparity in the number of troops, it is the best policy to stick to it, so he said to Yuan Shao: "What the Jujian army said Extremely, the enemy is outnumbered at the moment, it is really not suitable to go out to fight with them in the field, it is better to stick to it."

Seeing that Feng Ji expressed his support for not being able to hold on, the judge hurriedly agreed: "Master, Gongsun Zan's army is powerful, we need to avoid the edge for the time being, it is not appropriate to go out to fight with them, it is better to stick to the camp."

Yuan Shao saw that his counselors were opposed to going to war, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to Yan Liangchou again: "Both of you, hurry up and gather the crossbowmen and archers, and prepare to meet the incoming Gongsun Zan army."

Gongsun Zan's forward was led by Shan Jing. At the front of the team were three rows of swordsmen holding huge shields, behind them were five rows of archers, and behind them were eight rows of pikemen.

Facing Gongsun Zan's army approaching step by step, Yuan Shao's camp remained silent.When there were fifty steps away, horns sounded in the camp, and the crossbowmen and archers hiding behind the wooden fence fired at the same time, and the arrows flew towards Gongsun Zan's army like locusts.
