"Shiping, what do you think of Yuan Shao's division of troops?"

When only Gongsun Chan and Guan Li were left in the room, Gongsun Chan immediately withdrew his majestic expression, asked softly with a gentle smile on his face.

Gongsun Chan has no fierce generals under his command, and there are no strategists in military strategy, as a thorn history who occupies a state, Gongsun Chan is simply pitiful. The performance of Guan Li also made Gongsun Chan a little interesting, so for the only strategist with a little intelligence under his command at present, Gongsun Chan's expression naturally eased a lot.

"Lord!"

Although Gongsun Zhan behaved very peacefully, Guan Li was a child of a big family after all, and he still knew the etiquette that should be there, so he made a salute before he spoke: "According to the opinion of his subordinates, Yuan Shao's division of troops this time must be to go to Zhuo County to raid Zhuoxian. ”

After listening to Guan Li's words, Gongsun Chan nodded with satisfaction, but Guan Li's thoughts were the same as his.

At the beginning, Gongsun Zhan guessed that Yuan Shao was dividing his troops, and immediately thought that Yuan Shao was going to raid his original nest Zhuo County. However, Gongsun Zhan quickly overturned his conjecture, Zhuoxian City is thick and thick, even if Yuan Shao sends 150,000 troops to Zhuoxian, he will not be able to capture Zhuoxian in a short time, not to mention that Yuan Shao did not have so many soldiers and horses. It's just that after thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Chan found that the target of Yuan Shao's raid was not really any other city worth attacking besides Zhuo County, unless it was Gongsun Zhan's current nest Ji County. However, the difficulty of attacking Jixian County is even worse than that of Zhizhuo County, so there is no need to think about it. Moreover. The city is dead, the people are alive, if Yuan Shao has any conspiracy to take Zhuoxian. It's not impossible. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan also believed in his heart that Yuan Shao was going to divide his troops to attack Zhuoxian.

It is said that Gongsun Chan is in Yu County, and if he wins Zhuo County, how much impact can he have on Gongsun Zhan?

It has to be said that this is a major feature of war, and it is the inevitable result of war in any era. In every war. There are two obvious goals: one is to take down the opponent's leader, as the saying goes, capture the thief first capture the king, shoot the man first shoot the horse. This is the truth, and the second is to take the other party's capital or lair. In every war, the ultimate goal to be achieved is this, otherwise, even if the opponent's soldiers and horses are defeated. And only in vain.

Just like during World War II. Germany lightning took all the territory of the Soviet Union except Moscow. However, the Soviet Union has not yet been destroyed with only one Moscow left. Moreover, relying on this battle of Moscow, the German army was successfully counterattacked, and then the final victory was obtained. Just because the head of the Soviet Union was not taken, and the capital was still strong, Germany took ninety percent of the territory of the Soviet Union. But it is not yet a winner of the war. Just like every change of dynasty in China, it is to capture the capital of the previous dynasty. and the purpose of capturing and killing the royal family of the previous dynasty, so that it can be regarded as a real victory.

Although Zhuo County is not Gongsun Zhan's current nest, it is also Gongsun Zhan's nest when he was the Taishou of Zhuo County, and its significance is also extremely important. Once Zhuoxian County is taken, the blow to Gongsun Chan will inevitably be extremely serious. Therefore, the intention of raiding Zhuoxian also has meaning.

Leaving aside the others for the time being, he said that Gongsun Chan listened to Guan Li's words, and was extremely impressed in his heart, it seems that there are actually some capable people under his command, but he didn't find it at the beginning.

"Shiping, why do you think so?"

Although Gongsun Chan was very satisfied with Guan Li's remarks, his face was impassive and continued to ask. Although Guan Li expressed the same opinion as himself, Gongsun Chan didn't know if Guan Li was blind or really speculated. If it is blind, Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards Guan Li will not be too important as before, and if it is Guan Li's thoughtful words, it will naturally be valued by Gongsun Zhan.

"Lord, although now the lord has moved the seat of governance to Jixian County. However, Zhuo County, as the seat of the lord when he was the Taishou of Zhuo County, the significance of its existence is naturally undoubted, and the status of Zhuo County is the second most important position in Youzhou, second only to Ji County. If Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses can take Zhuoxian, it will inevitably have a great impact on our army, thus putting our army in a disadvantageous situation. Moreover, the high walls of Zhuoxian County are thick, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there is grain and grass to maintain the army for several years, if the strong city is taken by Yuan Shao, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably plummet, so as to produce a fear of war, in addition, the grain and grass in Zhuo County can also supplement Yuan Shao's army. Therefore, if Yuan Shao wanted to divide his troops to raid, he could only choose to target Zhuoxian. ”

After listening to Guan Li's full story, Gongsun Zhan finally confirmed that Guan Li was indeed not blind, but had thought deeply before he said the previous words. It seems that Guan Li really has some talents, which are worth reusing.

"Well, what Shiping said is good, just like what I thought in my heart. However, is Yuan Shao only thinking like this, and does he have other deeper intentions?"

Gongsun Chan nodded in response, and then asked urgently.

A trace of shame flashed on Guan Li's face when he heard this, he racked his brains to come up with that remark just now, as for whether Yuan Shao had other more intentions, Guan Li had no way of knowing. If Guan Li could really think so thoroughly, I am afraid that he could be comparable to those strategists under Yuan Shao.

"Forgive my subordinates for being ignorant, and I can't think of Yuan Shao's other intentions this time. ”

A look of disappointment flashed on Gongsun Zhan's face, it seemed that Guan Li's ability was not too good. However, Guan Li can think of this, which is already good, at least it is better than nothing, and he blames Gongsun Chan for being too greedy, and he also thinks that there can be a top strategist under his command, who can share his worries and solve problems, it seems that this idea is impossible to realize.

"Shiping, look at the map!"

Gongsun Zhan collected his thoughts, stretched out his hand and pointed to the map of Youzhou on the desk, and said slowly: "In addition to Zhuo County, which was the seat of governance when I was the Taishou of Zhuo County before, it is also an important checkpoint to Ji County. Although it could be bypassed from other places, it was either a steep mountain or a rushing river, and if the army tried to pass through, the losses were left alone, and the army would inevitably be in a state of great exhaustion. As soon as our army appears to intercept at this time. How can Yuan Shao's soldiers, who are already physically and mentally exhausted, resist the offensive of our army?"

"Hmm!"

Guan Li nodded approvingly, and then raised his eyebrows. He said in surprise: "Lord, do you mean that Yuan Shao wants to force our army to be trapped in Zhuo County by taking Zhuo County, and then slowly defeat our army?"

"That's right!"

Gongsun Zhan nodded in a deep voice, and then continued: "It is not difficult to see from the map that once Zhuo County is taken by Yuan Shao, our army will be in a dilemma. Unless our army takes a detour and wades through mountains and rivers to Jixian County. However, at that time, once the movements of our army were discovered by Yuan Shao, only one general would be dispatched to lead tens of thousands of elites. You can easily take down our army. Hey, Yuan Shao is really a talented person, and he can think of such a ruthless strategy. ”

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's last words, a look of shame flashed on Guan Li's face. Although Gongsun Chan is not blaming himself. But. From Gongsun Zhan's words, it can be heard that Gongsun Chan is dissatisfied with the officials under his command. Of course, Gongsun Chan didn't know, but it was Zhang He who came up with this strategy that amazed Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, although Zhang He has not yet grown up, his ability has begun to be highlighted. As for the strategists under Yuan Shao, they don't have such a good strategy, and. So far, they still think that Zhang He's raid on Zhuoxian is just a feint. The purpose is to disrupt Gongsun Zhan's military morale. The main reason why Yuan Shao's strategists couldn't think of these was that they thought that Zhuo County could not be easily taken, so they did not have such bold ideas as Zhang He.

"My subordinates are ashamed that they failed to share their worries for the lord!"

"I don't blame you, I just feel something in my heart!"

Of course, Gongsun Chan was able to guess Zhang He's intentions, not because Gongsun Chan had the wisdom of the world, but mainly because of his rich combat experience. I have been fighting with the northern aliens for many years, and I have experienced countless scenes, and with such a wealth of experience, I can think of these things in hindsight. If Gongsun Chan really had such intelligence, I am afraid that history would not have ended up in defeat and self-immolation.

"Lord, since Yuan Shao divided his troops to raid Zhuo County, should our army send troops to support?"

Now that Yuan Shao's intentions have been determined, the next thing to think about is how to deal with it. It was not easy for Guan Li to guess Zhang He's intention to attack Zhuoxian. If he was asked to think about countermeasures, Guan Li really had no choice but to look at Gongsun Zhan.

However, in the face of Guan Li's inquiry, Gongsun Chan shook his head lightly.

Seeing this, Guan Li's heart suddenly felt a little anxious, since he understood the current situation of Zhuo County, and saw the important position of Zhuo County, why didn't he send troops to reinforce it? Before Guan Li could open his mouth to ask, Gongsun Zhan said in a deep voice: "Zhuo County has high walls and thick walls, and there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, all of whom are my elite. If Yuan Shao wants to take Zhuoxian, it is necessary to have an army of 500,000 to attack day and night before he can take it in a short time, otherwise, everything will be in vain. Of course, it is not ruled out that Yuan Shao has a strategy to deal with Zhuo County. If that is the case, it will be useless for our army to divide troops to support, according to the situation, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have already set off for Zhuo County two days ago, and our army is now supporting Zhuo County, and it is too late in time. ”

Guan Li was silent when he heard this, Gongsun Zhan was right, if Yuan Shao really had a plan to capture Zhuo County, it would be too late to send reinforcements now. It's just that I hate myself and the others that no one was able to discover the abnormality in Yuan Shaojun's army at the first time, otherwise, if they found out that something was wrong with Yuan Shu's army earlier, they would have been able to avoid such a situation.

Guan Li was still sighing secretly, but Gongsun Zhan was shocked, and said in a proud voice: "However, even if Yuan Shao takes Zhuo County, what can he do, it can really have a great impact on our army." Most of my Youzhou soldiers are elites who have fought against foreign races in the north, can't they bear this at all, so what is the use of these soldiers from Ben Hou? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are false. As long as our army defeats Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses on the frontal battlefield, even if we give Jixian to Yuan Shao, so what!"

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Guan Li's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart was shocked. That's right, as Gongsun Chan said, the outcome of a war cannot be decided by the fall of a city, as long as Gongsun Chan remains ambitious, there will be a chance. Just thinking about how to defend the city, worried about falling into a disadvantageous situation because of the fall of the city, it is better to spend more time thinking about how to defeat Yuan Shao's army.

"The lord is talented, and his subordinates are difficult to resist!"

"Haha, as long as my Youzhou soldiers are united, what is Yuan Shao to fear!"

Wait for Gongsun Zhan and Guan Li to finish discussing. The scouts who sent out the scouts have also returned. According to the scout's investigation, according to the distribution of Yuan Shao's army camp, there were about 100,000 soldiers and horses. But. Judging from the situation of Yuan Shaojun's pot, it seems that there are 1670,000 soldiers and horses.

In ancient wars, it was common for ten soldiers to eat for one. And these ten soldiers will set up a pot stove, and the Wei general Pang Juan judged the soldiers and horses of the Qi army according to the pot stove of the Qi army, so that in the end, he was ambushed by Sun Bin and was killed by ten thousand arrows. According to Zhang He's proposal, Yuan Shao increased the number of troops and reduced the troops, thus confusing Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan couldn't guess the reality of Yuan Shao's army, and he was able to tie his hands and feet when fighting.

It's a pity that Zhang He's idea is good. However, he met a Gongsun Zhan who was countless times more experienced than him.

For Zhuoxian, Gongsun Chan let it go, and for the reality of Yuan Shao's army, Gongsun Chan didn't care, as long as he defeated Yuan Shao. Any conspiracy is false. Isn't it?

The next day, the sky had just shown a glimmer of dawn, and the sun emerged from the horizontal plane, and Yuan Shao led the army to the city of Yuxian County.

Like yesterday, Wen Chou still stepped forward and shouted at the city: "Dare Gongsun Zhan Xiaoer, dare to go out of the city and fight a certain battle!"

"Squeak!"

Wen Chou's words fell, and the city gate of Yu County was suddenly opened. Looking intently, the first person was wearing delicate armor. The crotch is high-headed and majestic. And this person is Gongsun Zhan, the lord of Youzhou, behind Gongsun Zhan, a thousand white horses and silver armor of white horses and silver armor followed closely, out of the city, lined up.

"That ugly man, Ben Hou has left the city, how are you going!"

Gongsun Chan raised the lance with one hand, pointed at Wen Chou opposite, with a sneer on his face, and responded loudly. Hearing Gongsun Zhan's name for Wen Chou, the Youzhou soldiers in the city burst into laughter. Speaking of which, Wen Chou really matches his name, and it is indeed ugly and indescribable. I think the reason why the ugly father and mother would give him an ugly word is probably because of this reason.

Although Wen Chou was unwilling to admit that his appearance was ugly, he could not change the appearance that his father gave him. After all, there are not so many plastic surgery hospitals these days, so Wen Chou is always very sensitive to the problem of his face. At this moment, when he heard Gongsun Chan call himself like this in front of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, he was immediately furious, and he couldn't wait to skin Gongsun Chan and cramp.

"Wow, grandson Zhan, you are a state assassin, you will only take advantage of your tongue, and if you have the courage, you will fight with this general. ”

Gongsun Chan pursed his lips disdainfully, and sneered: "If Yuan Shao's subordinates are all as stupid as you, it is better to go back to Jizhou as soon as possible, so as not to stain Benhou's hands." Ben Hou came out of the city, could it be to see you jumping up and down like a monkey, I don't know what to do!"

"How daring!"

Wen Chou roared angrily, raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "In this case, you and I will fight a battle, and I will see if your strength is as strong as your words." ”

After finishing speaking, Wen Chou lifted the long knife upside down, slapped the horse and rushed towards Gongsun Zhan.

"Humph!"

Gongsun Zhan snorted coldly, didn't say much, held up the lance, slapped the horse and rushed straight up. In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zhan and Wen Chou fought in one place, only to see the two of them slashing back and forth, you cut a knife, I stabbed a lance, only to hear the earth-shattering shouts of killing, which made people's blood boil.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

The soldiers on both sides on the battlefield could only hear the fierce cheers of Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou, but they couldn't see the movements of the two clearly, and could only faintly see some phantoms, which was shocking.

Thinking that when they were in the Tiger Prison Pass, Gongsun Zhan and Lu Bu could also fight for nearly ten rounds and successfully retreated, which was not easy. I think that the generals under the command of other princes are all incompatible, and then they are killed by Lu Bu, and they can escape from Lu Bu's hands, which is also a manifestation of strength. Since he is a general, he is naturally not so unbearable, at least there are second-rate generals who are close to the level of first-class generals. It's just that Luo Dada's romance weakened those generals, and it was also because Lu Bu was too violent. If calculated in this way, Gongsun Zhan's strength also has the level of a first-class general, but it is relatively low among the first-class generals. Wen Chou's strength is more than that of first-class generals, and it is between the middle level of top generals and first-class generals. After all, this is not a fantasy world, the difference between a class is a world of difference, and the battle of military generals is not only based on their own strength, but also rich combat experience. And Gongsun Chan just has this to make up for his lack of strength. Perhaps after a long battle, Gongsun Chan was no match for Wen Chou. However, they were able to remain unbeaten for a short period of time. In this way, it is enough.

"Kow, knot, knot!"

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang!"

Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou were extremely fierce in battle. Neither of them would take a step back, as if they were determined to put the other party to death. At this time of the battle, only the dust flying everywhere on the battlefield made the whole battlefield a little messy, and the soldiers on both sides of the battle seemed to be a little unable to see the situation on the battlefield, and could only judge the battle situation of the two according to the sound made on the battlefield.

"Herod!"

"Herod!"

At a certain time, the soldiers on both sides who watched the battle only heard the wailing of two war horses. Then, I saw Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou collide with each other's weapons, and then retreated at the same time. Gongsun Chan is the lord of Youzhou. War horses are naturally extraordinary, and Wen Chou, as Yuan Shao's henchman, is also a BMW. However, under the fierce battle between the two just now, the war horses under the crotches of the two of them had a faint tendency to be unbearable. Apparently. From here, you can see how fierce the battle between the two of them was.

Gongsun Zan Lerma stopped. The corners of his mouth hooked, and he said disdainfully: "Hebei Siting Zhu, it's just like that, you dare to be so rampant!"

"Ridiculous!"

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Wen Chou laughed angrily and roared angrily: "How can you have the courage to look down on me so much? If you have the courage, you can dare to fight with a certain person for another three hundred rounds, and a certain person will definitely cut off your head." ”

"Ben Hou is the lord of Youzhou. He is busy with official business, and he has to deal with government affairs every day. If Ben Hou had focused on practicing martial arts, he would have beheaded you under his horse at this moment, instead of talking big about it. If you say it, if you have the courage to let Yuan Shao and Ben Hou fight for 300 rounds, Yuan Shao will dare!"

Of course, Yuan Shao did not dare to fight, and Wen Chou did not have the right to decide Yuan Shao's decision. Therefore, after listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, Wen Chou could only blush, but he didn't know how to answer.

If you still want to fight with Ben Hou for 300 rounds, Ben Hou will be waiting in the city at any time, as long as you can capture the city, Ben Hou will accompany you at any time!"

Gongsun Chan knew that he would definitely be the one who would lose if he continued to fight, so he would not be stupid enough to continue to fight Wen Chou. Gongsun Zhan went out of the city to fight, showing his strength, and the victory or defeat of the fierce generals under Yuan Shao's command has greatly boosted the morale of his own soldiers, and there is no need to fight again. As Gongsun Chan said, he is the lord of Youzhou, not a reckless man like Wen Chou, and he does not have to use force to solve the problem.

"Back to the city!"

With a wave of his hand, Gongsun Chan returned to the city from a thousand white horses on neat horses, and when the last white horse entered the city, the gate closed again.

Seeing this, Wen Chou could only return to his camp with a black face. And Yuan Shao raised the sword at his waist, and then swung it violently, shouting "attack" in his mouth! In an instant, 10,000 soldiers who had already been ready, under the command of the general, rushed towards the city wall of Yuxian County.

"Kill!"

"Take the head of Gongsun Zhan, get promoted and make a fortune, and it will be in this dynasty!"

"I must be the first to attack the city, and no one should rob me!"

10,000 soldiers charged towards the city wall of Yuxian County like a rainbow, and the momentum exuded by these 10,000 soldiers did not seem to be an army of 10,000, but the momentum of an army of 100,000 or even a million.

"Defend the city, never let go of any enemy soldiers, my soldiers in Youzhou are not greedy for life and afraid of death, kill!"

"Never retreat, there is death and no life, kill!"

Similarly, the Youzhou soldiers on the city wall of Yuxian County are also monstrous, and the fierce battle between Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou just now also greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers under his command. The lords are so powerful, how can they fall behind?

All of a sudden, the city wall of Yuxian County was like a huge meat grinder, strangling countless fresh lives here, the scorching sun slowly rose, but the tragic battle never stopped.

While the fierce battle was going on in Zhuo County, near Zhuo County, sixty miles away, a group of about 10,000 soldiers and horses appeared out of thin air. Needless to say, this army of 10,000 soldiers and horses is naturally the soldiers and horses that Zhang He and Gao Ran are preparing to raid Zhuo County. After three days of marching, this army finally reached the territory of Zhuo County. (To be continued......)
