Liaoxi County, Guanzi City

Riding Duwei Gongsun Chan in this city by the Wuhuan Qiu Liju tens of thousands of horses surrounded by more than 200 days, did not wait for the imperial court reinforcements, but waited for Gao Yi under the tent of a fierce general named Dian Wei led by two thousand men and horses, this force is very strange, camped in a place less than a few miles away from the Wuhuan enemy army outside the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but is not in a hurry to attack the enemy, nor is it in a hurry to rush into the city to merge with Gongsun Zhan's men and horses, because Guanzi City is located in the high ground, so Gongsun Chan will see all this clearly, Dian Wei this force of people, more like to act perfunctory, Qiu Liju himself has also attacked a few times, but because Dian Wei camped is more special, so after a few times without results, I don't care anymore.

Gongsun Chan was extremely anxious, because the imperial court saw that he had been invincible for a long time, and had previously sent Zongzheng Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou, intending to resolve the conflict by diplomatic means, which was tantamount to a nightmare for Gongsun Zhan, originally Liu Yan suggested to the Son of Heaven that the matter of the assassin Shi Hua Zhou Mu was extremely sensitive, and the assassin was only an official with only 600 stones of Yulu in the past, and it was not as good as the Taishou and the minister of the state of Yulu 2,000 stones, but the state pastor is different, with the military and financial power of the entire state, which is equivalent to a soil emperor, Liu Yu has always advocated a gentle treatment of the foreign problems in the north, if this person has the right to speak in Youzhou, then Gongsun Chan can only live by relying on this person's snort, which is simply unimaginable for Gongsun Chan, who believes in the principle of the supremacy of solving problems by force.

But it was useless for Gongsun Chan to think about it, because now that he was trapped in this pipe city by Qiu Liju, no matter how high his heart was, he could only sigh.

"Lord, it's not a way for us to go on like this, there is not much grain and grass in the city, and we can't survive this winter at all, and we are in a hurry when we pursue Qiu Liju, we don't carry any baggage, we don't have cotton clothes for the winter, and most of the soldiers are afraid that most of them will freeze to death in the city!"

Having just repelled a fierce attack by Wu Huan, Yan Gang came straight to see Gongsun Zan with a wound on his face, and told him about the grim situation he was currently facing.

Gongsun Zhan was drinking stuffy wine alone, and when he saw Yan Gang, he felt a little emotional, put the wine jug on the table, and couldn't help but sigh.

Liaoxi is located in the cold land of Youzhou, in winter, it is colder than the Central Plains, this Gongsun Zan is deeply experienced, he has been crisscrossing Youzhou for many years, almost never defeated, but this time, he was defeated in his own greed, he couldn't help but think of the Wuhuan army that won a great victory in Shimen at this time last year, and broke Qiu Liju's Wuhuan army, Zhang Yan sent to help him Zhang Baiqi also showed his might and killed the traitor Zhang Ju.

At that time, Zhang Baiqi also persuaded Gongsun Zhan not to pursue the poor man, but Gongsun Zhan didn't listen, and now he can only regret it here.

"Lord?" Yan Gang saw that Gongsun Zhan was in a daze, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

Gongsun Chan came back to his senses: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I think of killing thousands of my subordinates in vain because of my personal sake, they are all people who have followed me for their great achievements, but they died in this city like this!"

Yan Gang's body was stunned, the Gongsun Zhan in his impression was not like this, could it be that a defeat could hit the previously high-spirited White Horse General to this point, he wanted to say a few words of comfort, and after thinking about it for a long time, he really couldn't find a suitable reason.

The soldiers outside the door suddenly announced: "Lord, Tian Yu asks to see you!

Gongsun Chan was in a depressed mood, waved his hand and said, "What bad idea did he come up with again? I'm in a bad mood, I don't see!"

The soldier promised and was about to go back, but was stopped by Yan Gang, who said to Gongsun Zhan: "Although the country is young, he has his own insights into arranging troops and using strategies to plan and plan, why don't you listen to it?"

Gongsun Chan felt that it made sense, so he called back to the soldiers: "That's it, let that kid in!"

"See the lord!" Not long after, a person walked in outside the door, it was the young Tian Yu, who accompanied Gongsun Chan to stick to Guanzi City for more than 200 days, he also gradually grew up, went into battle to kill the enemy, and was no longer the panic at the beginning, but as a junior officer, he was still happy to study some strategies every day to hope that Gongsun Chan would adopt, but Gongsun Chan was not a child, he only had the remaining thousands of white horses in his hands, if Tian Yu's strategy could not work, then Gongsun Chan would completely become the commander of the light pole.

"No courtesy, you kid has come up with some ideas, let's listen to it, but there is one thing, if you still need to take people out of the city to meet the ambush or something, I won't agree, the reason should be very clear!"

Gongsun Chan took down his long lance from the weapon rack, and played with it vigorously, and the recruitment and recruitment were extremely simple, but extremely fierce, which was the tactics practiced by Gongsun Chan's white horse servants for many years, and shocked countless foreign enemies.

Tian Yu heard Gongsun Chan say this, and his heart that was still excited immediately cooled half, it seems that this time Gongsun Chan was really hit by the defeat and collapsed, and he didn't want to take any risks at all, if it goes on like this, unless the court or others send troops to rescue it, the current siege can be lifted, but Gongsun Chan is still thinking about retaining his strength to fight the world in the future, it is really sad to think about it, Tian Yu even regretted following Gongsun Chan to fight this battle.

It's good to have a lot of combat experience, but if it is inevitable in the end, what's the point? Tian Yu couldn't help but think of his mother who had not seen him for a long time in Jixian's hometown, and Wuhuan's cavalry shouldn't be intrusive, right?

Tian Yu thought about it for a while, knowing that it was just to increase his troubles, but now that he had come, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, this plan of the subordinates will not cost the lord a single soldier, just imagine, thousands of us have been trapped here for more than 200 days, and the food has been exhausted, so the tens of thousands of troops of the Wuhuan people, is there a steady supply of grain and grass?"

Gongsun Zhan suddenly collected the long lance, Tian Yu's words are so reasonable, it is true, although Liaoxi is Qiu Liju's old nest, but there is no storage of grain and grass, the nearby people are often harassed by Wuhuan cavalry, and they also hide the little stored grain secretly, Qiu Liju's tens of thousands of horses want to get grain and grass, the supply line from the Wuhuan royal court is obviously too long, and the other tribes of Wuhuan should not support Qiu Liju to continue this battle that is not worth the loss.

Then there is only one answer! That is, someone in Youzhou is secretly delivering grain and grass to Qiu Liju!

Yan Gang also became interested, and said the same idea as Gongsun Zhan: "When the country says this, the last general is also very strange, our army now has more than 3,000 people, and it consumes more than 200 hus of grain and grass every day, and the number of Qiu Liju besieging the city is as much as 50,000, plus 10,000 horses and horses who are responding outside, and the daily cost of grain and grass is 5,000 hundred, how did Qiu Liju solve this million hus?"

Gongsun Zhan ignored it, he pointed at Tian Yu and asked, "Tell me about your strategy?"

Tian Yu waited for Gongsun Zhan's words, he hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates plan to sneak out of the city after dark, find the place where the Wuhuan people store grain, and try to find out the source of these grains and grass, no matter who it is, I hope that the lord can send a group of men and horses to cut off the supply line of the Wuhuan people, in this case, Qiu Liju will definitely collapse without a fight before us, and we can also avoid the pain of besieging the city!"

"Haha, I have an idea!" Gongsun Chan nodded again and again after hearing this, "But it's too dangerous for you to go alone, I'll ask Yan Gang to deploy a few good hands for you, go out of the city with you, and if you can make a contribution to defeat the enemy, I will give you a centurion position!"

Tian Yu shook his head: "The centurion of the White Horse is indeed a position coveted by many people, but the last general is more willing to be a strategist and help the lord establish miraculous achievements!"

Gongsun Zhan was slightly stunned, and laughed: "Strategist, I don't need this from Bai Mayi, those Wuhuan Xianbei people are not from the Central Plains, where can they play these virtual and real art of war with us? Soldiers are dangerous moves, not the right way, strength crushing is the king!"

Tian Yu was speechless for a while, he knew that Gongsun Zhan's thoughts were already ingrained, and he couldn't move in a few words, so he didn't bother to speak, he just bowed down and said: "It's getting dark, the last general will go and prepare first!"

After saying that, Tian Yu retreated, and Yan Gang also said: "The last general will also pick a few people to assist the country in this strange strategy, hoping that the enemy will not set any traps!"

Gongsun Zhan said unexpectedly: "Actually, what Tian Yu said, I also thought about it, but it was only when he said it today that I paid attention to this issue again, Yan Gang, who do you think in Youzhou will secretly deliver grain and grass to Qiu Liju?"

Yan Gang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This, the last general will not dare to make a rash assertion!"

"Eh, there's no one else here at the moment, so it's okay to guess!" Gongsun Chan showed a smile on his face, but it was difficult to blend with his murderous face, which made people feel chills in their backs.

Yan Gang knocked on the side and said: "This person, it must not be simple in Youzhou, if it is an ordinary rich businessman, he will definitely not be able to take out so much grain and grass, otherwise the safety of grain and grass is a problem!"

Gongsun Chan snorted and asked in a deep voice, "You mean to say that the other party is not a businessman, but may be an official?"

Yan Gang nodded: "At least one county is too guarded, so it is possible to mobilize so much grain and grass, but Youzhou is not a rich county in the Central Plains, it may take enough grain and grass to get there, and it will take the reserves of several counties to reach it!"

Gongsun Zhan thought so, this guy actually did it with him like this, there was only one reason, that is, he wanted to get rid of him Gongsun Zhan with Qiu Liju's hand, and then he could make the entire Youzhou obey his rule.

Looking at Youzhou, apart from Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an, who had just taken office as Youzhou pastor, who else would have such a mind? Liu Yu's advocacy of handling the Wuhuan issue by moderate means is tantamount to openly opposing Gongsun Zhan's iron-blooded policy, and if it is really Liu Yu who delivers grain and grass to Qiu Liju, then Gongsun Chan must grasp this handle and give Liu Yu a little color!

"I've already guessed who it is, as for whether it's him or not, wait for Tian Yu's good news!" Gongsun Chan sneered.
