However, it was said that Guan Jing left Yuan Chang's camp and headed for Yuan Shao's side. Therefore, when he heard that he was Gongsun Zhan's envoy, Yuan Shao didn't even see his face, and directly asked people to blow Guan Jing away. After waiting for a few days to no avail, Guan Jing could only reluctantly return to Jixian County. I couldn't even see Yuan Shao in person, and all the conditions negotiated with Yuan Chang were naturally nullified.

Regarding what happened to Guan Jing, Yuan Chang naturally had no way of knowing. Moreover, Yuan Chang also guessed that the conditions that Guan Jing agreed to were all self-made, and it was impossible for Gongsun Zan to agree to such conditions. Therefore, Yuan Chang didn't have much hope for Guan Jing. If you can succeed, save your strength, and you can still get territory, this is the best; if you can't succeed, then fight!

Yuan Chang also kept his promise and did not launch an offensive, and the army rested outside Rongcheng for several days, but it was a little boring.

On this day, Yuan Changzheng and Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others were studying strategies in the camp. But a soldier suddenly asked for help outside the tent, saying that he had something important to report.

"Lord Qiqi, the defenses in Rong City have suddenly been strengthened, and the number of soldiers on the city wall has doubled. The subordinates believed that the enemy might have action, so they came to report it beforehand. ”

After listening to the report of the captain of the patrol, Yuan Chang, Guo Jia and others hurriedly left the camp and investigated on the high ground three miles away from Rongcheng.

"Guo Junshi, what do you think the enemy's intentions are?"

Guo Jia bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Lord, as you expected." It seems that Gongsun Chan has no intention of reconciling, and Guan Jing's actions are all his personal thoughts. Poor Guan Jing is sincere. Its strategy is not to be reused by Gongsun Zhan. In the opinion of his subordinates, Gongsun Chan now is the time to recuperate and strengthen himself. If a war starts, it will inevitably put him in a disadvantageous position. It's a pity that Guan Jing's strategy can't be used. However, if Gongsun Chan used Guan Jing's strategy, it would be difficult for the lord to successfully capture Youzhou. In this way, Gongsun Zhan's approach is in the interests of the lord. ”

"Gongsun Chan is also a hegemon, and such a thing as land cession and compensation is naturally unattainable. Speaking of which. Gongsun Zhan's spirit makes me admire. Thinking about what a majestic figure Liu Bang was in the Han Dynasty, he also compromised with the Xiongnu in a friendly way. I don't want to do it anymore, however. For the sake of the safety of more people, it has to be done. For Liu Bang's approach, I both appreciate and despise it in my heart, man is really a contradictory animal!"

Yuan Chang stood with his hands in his hands. Look up at the sky. But he suddenly sighed.

"What the lord said is really mysterious and abnormal, but it is difficult for us ordinary people to understand. However, his subordinates know that as long as they follow their own hearts, there will be nothing wrong. Just like the subordinates act recklessly, indulge in drinking and carnival, such a chic life. Fang did not live up to coming to this world. ”

"Haha, Fengxiao, you will make excuses for your alcoholic behavior. ”

Yuan Chang pointed at Guo Jia. Speechless, he laughed.

"Life aside, looking at the actions of the guards of Rong City, it seems that this battle is inevitable. It's time for our soldiers of Bohai County to experience on the battlefield. There is still a long way to go to realize our ideals, so let's all work together!"

"I'll wait for the Lord to give encouragement!"

Since Gongsun Chan had no intention of compromising, Yuan Chang would not waste time. Guan Jing's side doesn't need to think about the result to know what it is. Therefore, Yuan Chang ordered to bury the pot and cook food at the end of the next day, and the army had already been assembled and slowly marched towards Rongcheng.

In an instant, Yuan Chang's army of 50,000 had already surrounded Rongcheng.

At the signal of Yuan Chang, Dian Wei patted his horse and danced the double halberd to a distance of three hundred meters away from Rongcheng, the double halberd pointed to the head of the city, and shouted angrily: "Gongsun Chan behaves unsubduedly, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, my lord obeys the will of heaven, and today he leads the heavenly soldiers to crusade against Gongsun Zhan." If you are interested, you can quickly open the city and surrender, and you can still save your life. Otherwise, once the city gate is breached, you will definitely be killed and the blood will be flowing!"

"Rampant!"

A shout of rage on the wall responded, and then a figure appeared. I saw that this person was dressed in gorgeous, silver-white armor, and a spear in his hand, which was majestic. This person is the general under Gongsun Zhan, Shan Jing.

"Yuan Chang is just a county guard, and when he saw my lord as a subordinate, he dared to speak so loudly now. And Yuan Chang, as a courtier, attacked my Youzhou territory for no reason, and did not take the court in his eyes. The lord of my family has the right to supervise the four states, and the court of this generation is guilty, if you are bound to the city, my lord can spare your life. Otherwise, my father-in-law will come with a large army in the near future, and everyone will become powder, but don't make mistakes!"

Shan Jing's eloquence is not bad, and when you come and go with Dian Wei, you are not weak at all. You must know that Dian Wei is under the influence of Yuan Chang, and his scolding level is extraordinary, but he can still be weak and weak, and he is obviously not a simple character.

"Who is you, your verbal skills are good, and if you have the courage, you will go out of the city to fight a certain battle. ”

Dian Wei scolded for a long time, and he couldn't take advantage of it, so he didn't bother to scold Shan Jing anymore, so he directly raised his halberd and invited Shan Jing to go out of the city to fight.

"I am the general Fan Yang Shan Jing under the command of Gongsun Thorn Shi!

Shan Jing held a spear in his hand, and his face was proud.

Of course, the words of the Sutra have the opposite meaning. It's not that Dian Wei is nameless, so he doesn't fight. It's because Shan Jing saw that Dian Wei was so strong, and his heart was a little weak, and he didn't dare to fight at all. Now I don't know what Dian Wei is real, if Dian Wei is weak, he will go out to kill Dian Wei, and he can also improve his morale, and if Dian Wei is too strong, he will be killed by others, then it will be a big loss. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Shan Jing decided to let his generals go out of the city to test it.

"Nerves? haha, that's a good name. ”

Hearing the name of Shan Jing, Dian Wei immediately burst out laughing. However, Dian Wei forgot, because he followed Yuan Chang, so he knew the meaning of nerves. However, I don't know what nerves mean. Naturally, nothing is felt. Therefore, when he saw Dian Wei suddenly laughing, Shan Jing thought that Dian Wei's sheep had a seizure.

"Squeak!"

With the gate of Rongcheng wide open. A Weiwu son in leather armor rushed out with a spear and a horse.

In these years, armor made of fine iron is also a rarity, and not every soldier can equip it. As a rule, only officers of the rank of Captain or higher in the army were allowed to have armor made of fine iron. And if there are ordinary soldiers, they are usually passed down from the family, and there are officer-level figures on their ancestors. Otherwise, the average soldier would not have armor made of fine iron. It's great to have a nice piece of leather armor. Of course, if you have some rich forces, you can also make armor for the elite troops under your command. It's like Cao Cao's tiger and leopard ride. It is all black armor, and Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is also all silver armor, which requires a huge amount of money. Even Yuan Chang has a cast iron process that transcends the times. There is no way to equip all 80,000 soldiers with armor made of fine iron. Up to now. There are more than 30,000 soldiers in Yuan Chang's army who have armor, and other soldiers also use leather armor. And the general who was sent by Shan Jing was still wearing leather armor, and his status was obviously not high. Otherwise, the general would be a poor man.

"Bold fanatics, dare to invade my Youzhou realm, give me death!"

The general, however, was in high spirits, and with a loud shout in his mouth, he rushed forward with his spear brandished. At the time of the charge. This guy is also very dancing.

Dian Wei seemed to be shocked by the other party's momentum, and stood in place in a daze. Nothing happened.

The general was overjoyed when he saw this, and the man opposite looked quite bluffing, but he didn't expect it to be a silver-like wax spearhead, so he was stupid when he drank it like this.

It is said that this general is a lieutenant under Shan Jing, and at his level, a set of armor made of fine iron should also be there. However, this general is addicted to gambling and likes to get involved in everything. Therefore, when he was betting against one of his commanders, he lost the armor. The general did not overwhelm people with power, and kept his promise to give the armor to the commander under his command. While the soldiers in the army praised him for keeping his promises, he also became a laughing stock. A general at the rank of lieutenant, but without decent armor, can he not be made fun of?

However, at this time, when he saw the armor Dian Wei was wearing, the general's eyes lit up. From the color and structure, it can be seen that the armor worn by Dian Wei is not an ordinary armor, it is definitely a rare piece of armor. As long as Dian Wei is killed, according to the rules of the battlefield, this armor belongs to him. When the time comes, even if he doesn't use it himself, he can use it to curry favor with his superiors and improve his rank.

Therefore, thinking of this, the general's heart was even more excited, and his eyes looked at Dian Wei like a wolf grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood.

"Die!"

When the general was already approaching Dian Wei, Dian Wei had not made the slightest move, and the smile on the general's face became brighter and brighter. He could already foresee how many admiration he would receive when he put on this armor.

"Drink!"

It's a pity that when the general's smile was still fixed on his face, Dian Wei suddenly shouted, and his face showed a hideous look. Jumped up from the war horse, jumped on top of the opponent's war horse, clamped his arm around the opponent's neck, and with a "click", the general rolled his eyes, and died with a whimper. I have to say that the reason why Dian Wei was able to jump from the war horse was that the new saddle and bilateral stirrups played a very big role. If it was a unilateral stirrup, it would not have been possible to do this step at all.

Dian Wei's murderous methods suddenly calmed down the entire battlefield for a moment.

"General Dian's mighty!"

"General Dian is domineering!"

"General Dian is invincible, an iron-blooded man!"

When the soldiers on Yuan Chang's side saw Dian Wei so brave, they naturally cheered loudly, and their imposing shouts were eager to break through the sky and shake the nine heavens.

On the other hand, Shan Jing and the soldiers in Rongcheng gasped, only feeling that their necks were cold.

The general who fights is not a weak person, as long as he does not rely on his background to reach the level of lieutenant in the army, his strength is quite strong. However, it was such a captain, in front of Dian Wei, but he hadn't gone through a single round, and he was killed by Dian Wei so easily, Dian Wei's strength can be imagined.

"Hmph, Yu Tian carelessly was killed, and he deserved it!"

After being shocked for a moment, Shan Jing suddenly said loudly. Suddenly. It attracted everyone's attention. According to the meaning of the single scripture, Yu Tian seems to be indeed careless. Yu Tian thought that Dian Wei was frightened by his momentum, so he rushed to Dian Wei without any defense. As a result, Dian Wei suddenly shot and killed Idae with one blow.

It's just that Dian Wei's means of killing Yu Tian are really powerful, although Shan Jing's words have saved some morale, but they can't save the morale of all the soldiers at all. Unless, send another general to fight. Kill Dian Wei. Otherwise, the demoralization of the soldiers alone is already an inevitable situation.

"Huang San. Go out and fetch the thief's head!"

Shan Jing waited for a while, but he didn't wait for someone to take the initiative to fight, and he was a little angry in his heart, but he was helpless. Present. looked at a general behind him who was much stronger than Yu Tian. Directly pointed out by name.

Huang San, who was named by the single scripture, naturally had a thousand reluctances in his heart. However, Shan Jing is the main general, if he disobeys Shan Jing's order, it is estimated that he will be taken down by Shan Jing immediately. In desperation, Huang San could only drag his steps and go down the city step by step. Looking at Huang San's desolate back, it seems that this gone will become forever.

"Squeak!"

The gates of Rongcheng were opened again, however. Compared with the previous atmosphere, this time the atmosphere of the soldiers in Rongcheng City was a little low and gloomy. If Huang San can't cut Dian Wei off the horse. It is estimated that Rongcheng's morale will drop below freezing, and at that time, if Yuan Chang forcibly attacks the city, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it at all.

"Kill!"

Huang San didn't say a word, and rushed up with a long knife on his horse. Just like when Yu Tian was fighting, Dian Wei was still motionless, as if he was stunned. However, if Huang San still thinks like this, it is estimated that Huang San is either a fool or a madman. Therefore, seeing Dian Wei's move, Huang San's momentum of rushing forward suddenly stopped. Holding the long knife in both hands, he fell horizontally, guarding Dian Wei very carefully. At the same time, in order to prevent the same fate as Yu Tian, Huang San also widened the distance from Dian Wei, holding a long knife and gesturing a few feet away from Dian Wei, not daring to approach at all.

Seeing this, the single person at the head of the city scolded in his heart, he was really a coward, people didn't do anything, they were so timid. If people had made a move, wouldn't they have turned around and run away?

"Drink!"

Suddenly, the stunned Dian Wei suddenly shouted, and Huang San, who was still gesturing, was startled by Dian Wei's shout. A feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart, as Shan Jing thought, Huang San immediately turned his horse's head and galloped back to the city gate. Even if it is a coward's name, it is better than losing your life.

"Whew!"

"Be careful!"

Huang San, who was rushing back, suddenly heard the sound of the cold wind behind him, and at the same time, an eager shout from the city wall sounded. Huang San was about to look back, a light flashed in his eyes, but it was the last situation he saw. Then, Huang San fell from his horse.

It turned out that when Huang San ran away, Dian Wei smashed out one of the double halberds in his hand. The double halberd itself is extremely heavy, coupled with Dian Wei's strength, I am afraid that it will have a thousand catties of strength after it is smashed out. With such a swift attack, how could Huang San be able to resist it without defense? Huang San himself didn't feel it because he was hanging. However, Shan Jing on the city wall and the soldiers under his command could clearly see that after one of Dian Wei's halberds hit Huang San's head, Huang San's head was like an ice cube melting, and it suddenly exploded, red blood and white brains mixed together, plus the fragments of the skull of Huang San's head, splashing everywhere, and the scene was terrifying.

Whether it was the soldiers under Yuan Chang's command or the soldiers in the city, most of the recruits who went to the battlefield for the first time were frightened to bend over and vomit when they saw such a cruel situation, even some veterans who had been on the battlefield. Seeing such a cruel situation, I also vomited non-stop.

In the eyes of the soldiers of Shan Jing, Dian Wei is undoubtedly a murderous maniac, a murderous demon. Even the soldiers under Yuan Chang's command had such thoughts. Therefore, some soldiers had an idea in their hearts, that is, they would rather mess with Yuan Chang than mess with Dian Wei, and Dian Wei really left a deep impression in their hearts.

"Nervous puppet, if you don't open the city and surrender, this person will be your fate!" Dian Wei raised his halberd and shouted at the single scripture on the city wall.

After hearing the words, he was speechless, and in this regard, the morale of the soldiers under his command plummeted. All of a sudden, the entire Rongcheng City was gloomy, and many soldiers had the idea of surrendering, and no one wanted to be like Huang San. The brains smashed by Dian Wei burst out, and they were extremely miserable.

"Woooooo

The desolate and long sound of the horn sounded in Rong Chengcheng, but it was a single order to give an armistice. Morale is low these days. There is no way to start a war with Yuan Chang, and if he goes out of the city to fight, he is afraid that he will give someone his head away. Therefore, Shan Jing had to order the city gate to be closed tightly, and then make plans after the reinforcements he asked for from Gongsun Zan of Jixian County arrived.

"Mingjin, collect the troops!"

As the commander of the army. Zhao Yun also gave the order to withdraw the troops. In fact, in Zhao Yun's view, now because of Dian Wei's two victories. The morale of your soldiers is high, and it is a good time to attack the city. However, because Yuan Chang signaled to withdraw his troops, Zhao Yun naturally would not disobey Yuan Chang's order.

"My lord. Now the morale of our generals is high. Why do you want to withdraw from the army?"

In front of the soldiers, Zhao Yun naturally did not ask questions, which affected Yuan Chang's prestige. However, after returning to the camp, Zhao Yun naturally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore and asked. At this time, all the people present were Yuan Chang's henchmen, so it didn't matter if it would affect Yuan Chang's prestige. Moreover, even Zhao Yun asked in front of the soldiers. Yuan Chang didn't care, it was just that Zhao Yun wanted to think about Yuan Chang.

"Zilong. You think that the morale of the soldiers is high, and it is a good time to attack the city. However, it is not a good thing to go too far. ”

Regarding Zhao Yun's question, Yuan Chang naturally did not hide it.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

However, as for Yuan Chang's words, Zhao Yun was in a fog when he heard it, and it was even more difficult to understand.

Yuan Chang didn't answer, Guo Jia on the side smiled slightly, took over the conversation and explained: "Zilong, it is naturally a good thing that the morale of the soldiers is high. However, when morale is high to a certain level, it is not beautiful. Don't you see that the soldiers seem to be extremely excited, and at this time, they have lost their minds a little. If they fight in such a state, it will make them feel proud and complacent. Such a sentiment would be very advantageous when our side was in a state of weakness or draw, but now that our army has an absolute advantage, if there is such a mood, perhaps, it will leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. The meaning of the lord is to let the soldiers calm down a little first, and then wait for the soldiers to wake up, and then start to attack the city. ”

"I see, my subordinates are not bad for a while, but they almost made a big mistake, and I ask the lord to punish him!"

"Zilong, it's okay!"

Yuan Chang stretched out his hand and raised it in the void, with a detached expression on his face. At this time, Yuan Chang seemed to have the appearance of a lord, which made people feel a sense of awe.

"If a general wants to grow into a commander who can command thousands of troops and deal with any situation, he has to go through countless battles to do it. What you lack is enough experience, I believe that with Zilong's talent, you will soon be able to grow to this point, and I believe you can do it. ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

"My lord, what about me, when will I be able to do it?"

When Dian Wei heard Yuan Chang's evaluation of Zhao Yun, he immediately jumped out unwilling to lag behind, and compared himself with excitement. However, for Dian Wei, Yuan Chang didn't have a good face.

"You also want to grow up to the realm of Zilong, and when you digest all the muscles in your head in the next life, you may be able to do it. ”

"Woo, my lord, you are so hurtful, I don't accept it!"

Yuan Chang and Guo Jia ignored Dian Wei's tricks, and the two looked at the map of Youzhou on the desk. Rongcheng belongs to Fanyang County and is a city at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou. Although Rongcheng is a small city, it is strong and abnormal, and if Yuan Chang wants to enter Youzhou, he must also pass through Rongcheng. As the junction city of Youzhou and Jizhou, Rongcheng has an extremely important position in strategy. Therefore, there is plenty of food and grass in Rongcheng, and the equipment for defending the city is also readily available. If you attack strongly, even if you can take it, you will have a lot of losses, which is not what Yuan Chang wants to see.

After all, I grew up in an era of peace, even if I knew that this era was an era of war. If the enemy suffered many casualties, Yuan Chang didn't care. However, if it was his own people who suffered heavy casualties, Yuan Chang would not be happy.

"My lord, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be the general of Rongcheng, and he has important matters to discuss with your lordship. ”

Just as Yuan Chang and Guo Jia were discussing, soldiers from outside the camp came to report.

Yuan Chang and Guo Jia were stunned when they heard this, and then a look of understanding rose on their faces at the same time. Then, Yuan Chang ordered: "Invite people quickly!"

After a while, a mighty general stood in Yuan Chang's tent. (To be continued......)
