"I know that Fengxiao must have a good plan to conquer Jixian County, but I didn't raise it just now because I was worried about Pingyi. Now it's just you and me, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

After a period of getting along, Yuan Chang and Gongsun Xu are commensurate with each other, and Yuan Chang still has great trust in Gongsun Xu's personality. However, Guo Jia was also prepared for this, Yuan Chang understood Guo Jia's thoughts, and naturally would not blame him. Besides, Gongsun Xu will not leak secrets, and there is a Guan Jing present, so it is inevitable that Guan Jing, who is interested in Gongsun Zhan, will leak secrets. Be careful, but there's nothing wrong with that.

"Lord, look at the map!"

Guo Jia and Yuan Chang are embarrassed, and they naturally understand each other's thoughts. Therefore, Guo Jia doesn't have to waste words to explain, and gets down to business directly.

Pointing to a certain location on the map, Guo Jia explained: "There is a lonely mountain ten miles northwest of Lu County, and although this mountain is steep, it is not difficult to climb. If the lord sends a brave general to lead a group of soldiers and horses over this mountain, he can spare the location of the west gate of Jixian County. Once the war starts, Gongsun Zan will inevitably have heavy troops stationed at the north and south gates, and the west gate of Jixian County will be empty in defense. When the siege begins, the leading general will take the opportunity to attack the city, and will inevitably take the west gate in one fell swoop; at that time, this army of soldiers and horses will attack into the city of Jixian County, and can set fire everywhere, so that Gongsun Chan is tired of supporting, if Gongsun Chan has a slight omission, this army can also open the south gate or the north gate of Jixian County, as long as the lord and Jizhou Thorn Shi have an army to attack the city, they will be able to take Jixian County in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, that's a brilliant plan. ”

Yuan Chang nodded, quite agreeing with Guo Jia's strategy. Of course, Yuan Chang will not object to this. But. Soon Yuan Chang frowned again and sighed, "Actually." To be honest, I don't want to fight Gongsun Zhan. Except for the reason that it is because of the brother Ping. Gongsun Zhan's deterrence against foreign races is also quite crucial. Sooner or later, this land of Youzhou will be ours, and if Gongsun Chan is stationed at the border in the future, it will make the alien race dare not send troops easily. It's a pity that Gongsun Chan was born at the wrong time, if he was born when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Chan would definitely be a famous general. ”

"Yes!"

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, but then asked rhetorically: "Lord, in your opinion, what is the chance of Gongsun Chan surrendering?"

Hearing Guo Jia's inquiry, Yuan Chang couldn't help but ponder.

Although it is said that the war between Jizhou and Youzhou has its own excuses and reasons. However, in fact, these are just excuses made by the two forces to expand their own power. Moreover, strictly speaking, Yuan Chang and Gongsun Chan did not have any grudges, and Yuan Shao was defeated by Gongsun Chan.

At the beginning, in order to seize Jizhou, Yuan Shao sent people to unite with Gongsun Zhan, and asked Gongsun Zhan to send troops to deter Han Fu, the former assassin of Jizhou, and promised to give half of the grain and grass to Gongsun Zhan after the matter was completed. Who would have thought that after Yuan Shao's affair was completed. not only tore up the agreement, but also took the opportunity to kill Gongsun Zhan's brother Gongsun Yue, slandering him as the hand of the remnants of the Yellow Turban. Gongsun Chan is not an idiot, he doesn't know that it is Yuan Shao's black hand. Therefore, he got into a fight with Yuan Shao. Although it was said that because Dong Zhuo had sent envoys to persuade both sides before, this grudge was naturally pulled down. Thenceforth. Yuan Chang, a guy who is also black-bellied, wants to occupy the land of Youzhou. So he was embarrassed with Yuan Shao and sent troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. Strictly speaking. It was Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan who had a personal enmity, and Yuan Chang participated in it entirely for personal interests.

Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Zhan's brother, and it is unlikely that Gongsun Chan will surrender to Yuan Shao; in the same way, for Yuan Chang, a guy who took advantage of the fire to rob, Gongsun Chan will naturally not have a good impression, but will hate Yuan Chang even more.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yuan Chang sighed: "It's unlikely that Gongsun Chan will surrender, just do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!"

Since it was impossible to recruit Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Chang also dropped this thought, and could only say sorry to Gongsun Xu in his heart. Subsequently, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia discussed who should lead the soldiers and horses to attack the west gate of Jixian County. In the end, it was discussed, it seemed that Dian Wei was suitable, Zhao Yun wanted to sit in the army and command the army, so he naturally couldn't escape, and Han Xun, Yu Ban, Xian Yu Fu, and Xian Yu Yin These generals were too poor in force and difficult to compete. Therefore, the best candidate is only Dian Wei. As for the strength of the battle, there are now more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, Jixian County is a city with high walls and thick walls, too few is not good, and the lonely mountain in the northwest of Luxian County is not difficult to overcome, and finally decided to let Dian Wei lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to raid the west gate of Jixian County. However, now it is only right that the army naturally wants to attack Luxian first.

The army repaired in the city of Wuzhong for three days, leaving 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, with Zhao Yun as the main general, Guo Jia as the military advisor, and Yuan Chang as the hand-shaken shopkeeper, the army marched towards Lu County.

It is only a more than 100-mile road from Wuzhong City to Lu County, and Yuan Chang's army is not in a hurry, after all, it is still waiting for Yuan Shao's army to jointly attack the city of Jixian County. Therefore, it took three days to reach the city of Luxian, so Yuan Chang's army was also full of spirit, and they clamored to attack the city immediately and take Lu County in one fell swoop. Of course, Yuan Chang was not in a hurry, first let the army set up camp and go down to the village, and then let Guan Jing hold the letter of persuasion written by Gongsun Xu and send it to Jixian County. It takes up to two days to go back and forth, and it is not delayed, and it is just enough to build siege equipment in these two days.

However, it was said that after Guan Jing reported his home to the general who defended the city in Lu County, he rode his horse all the way to Jixian County. On the night when Yuan Chang's army arrived in Lu County, Guan Jing had already arrived in Jixian County and sent the letter of persuasion written by Gongsun Xu to Gongsun Zhan.

Guan Jing was ready to be angrily scolded by Gongsun Zhan, or even beheaded. However, Gongsun Chan took the letter, but he didn't say much, just checked the letter repeatedly, until he read it no less than ten times, Gongsun Chan put down the letter of persuasion and asked softly: "Is Pingyi good in Yuan Changjun?"

Guan Jing was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, Yuan Taishou did not restrict the young general, and the young general was not wronged. ”

"Hmm!"

Gongsun Chan nodded, then closed his eyes and pondered, as if he was considering Gongsun Xu's persuasion. In addition, Gongsun Chan didn't seem to have any intention of convening his lackeys to discuss, and after a long time, Gongsun Chan looked at Guan Jing. said lightly: "General Rong Ben thought about this matter for two days, in order to prevent Yuan Chang from sending troops to attack Lu County. Lose your troops, and you send a messenger to inform Yuan Chang. After General Ben thinks about it for two days, you can go and tell Yuan Chang the answer. ”

Gongsun Chan is now also a state assassin, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so it is naturally impossible for him to make a decision to surrender immediately. Therefore, Guan Jing can also understand. Besides, it's a good thing that Gongsun Chan can think about it, after all, it shows that he is a little tempted. Guan Jing also knew the combat effectiveness of Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses, as well as the ability of Yuan Chang's fierce generals and strategists. If Gongsun Chan is dead, the result is naturally self-evident.

Yuan Chang received a reply from Gongsun Zhan, and he was a little relieved, as long as Gongsun Chan had the intention of surrendering. In this way, Gongsun Xu can also feel much more at ease.

And on the evening of the third day, Guan Jing also brought back Gongsun Zhan's reply. In the letter, Gongsun Chan said that he was willing to surrender, but there was still one thing to do before surrendering. That is to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, so as to settle the grudge between the two sides. After the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan will surrender unconditionally.

"Really, that's great. Will my father surrender?"

Gongsun Xu seemed to be a little incredulous, and muttered to himself, and looked at Gongsun Zhan's reply. After the final confirmation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The more you know about Yuan Chang. Gongsun Xuyue knew that Yuan Chang and his subordinates were strong, if Gongsun Chan chose to die. Gongsun Xu didn't believe that his own Lao Tzu could win the final victory at all. Moreover, on the other side, there was a threat from Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 troops, and Gongsun Chan chose to die, but there was only a dead end.

"That's not right!"

"That's not right!"

However, without waiting for Gongsun to be excited for a long time, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia exclaimed at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, as if they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Brother Chengzhi, what's wrong, is my father a fraud?" Gongsun Xu asked in surprise when he saw this.

"Not really!"

Yuan Chang shook his head, frowned, and said, "Judging from what was written in the letter, General Gongsun is really willing to surrender. It's just that I have a bad feeling, it seems that General Gongsun has a feeling of explaining what happened. That's right, it's to explain the aftermath. By the way, General Gongsun chose to fight a decisive battle with Jizhou Assassin Shi, if he wins, there may be nothing else; if he loses, I am afraid that General Gongsun will not be able to think about it for a while, and he will die to make his will clear!"

"How is that possible?" Gongsun Xu was stunned for a moment, his face sluggish.

Guo Jia took the letter, pointed to the contents of the letter and said: "You see that General Gongsun's words seem to be caring for the young general and expressing his thoughts; However, if you think about it, how could General Gongsun, as a general, express such emotions. From all these signs, it seems that General Gongsun is explaining the aftermath!"

After speaking, Guo Jia looked at Guan Jing and asked, "Guan Changshi, when you were in Jixian County, did you find that General Gongsun was already mobilizing troops and horses?"

"Indeed!"

Guan Jing nodded, and said quickly: "At that time, I also asked the general what he meant, and the general said that he would lift the city defense and dismiss the soldiers, and after Yuan Taishou accepted Jixian, it would be easier to make arrangements." ”

"It seems that this is really the case, in fact, I am afraid that after General Gongsun received the letter of persuasion from the major general, he had already made a decision to transfer his troops and horses to the front line and make preparations for a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. The reason why he said that he would reply to the lord in two days was probably because he was afraid that the young general would see what General Gongsun meant, so he rushed to the battlefield to dissuade General Gongsun. As I expected, when Guan Changshi came back, General Gongsun was afraid that he had already rushed to the frontline battlefield and started a war with Jizhou Assassin Shi. ”

"What?"

Gongsun Xu was shocked when he heard this.

In fact, as Yuan Chang and Guo Jia expected, Gongsun Zhan set up a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. If he wins, Gongsun Zhan is willing, if he loses to Yuan Shao, he will naturally die.

In fact, just as Yuan Chang thought, Gongsun Zhan's hatred for Yuan Chang was deeper than Yuan Shao's.

Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao already had a grudge, and there was a reason for the two sides to go to war, but Yuan Chang's behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob made Gongsun Chan extremely angry, and he was eager to cut Yuan Chang with a thousand knives. However, Yuan Chang's army was too strong, all the way to the city, Gongsun Chan couldn't stop it at all, plus there was the threat of Yuan Shao's army, Gongsun Chan, who had been defeated and retreated, could only choose to return to Jixian Laowo to garrison, wanting to rely on the thick walls of Jixian to exhaust the grain and grass of Yuan Chang and Yuan Shao's army and retreat. Who would have thought that at this time, Guan Jing came with Gongsun Xu's letter of persuasion.

When he watched it for the first time, Gongsun Chan was naturally very angry in his heart, and he wanted to cut Guan Jing down, but Gongsun Chan still kept calm, and after reading it again, and after reading it again and again, Gongsun Chan suddenly found that Yuan Chang seemed to be really as strong as what was written in Gongsun Zhan's letter, and with Gongsun Zhan's ability, he couldn't fight against it at all. So, Gongsun Chan was a little moved.

Of course, what impressed Gongsun Chan was not Yuan Chang's strong soldiers, but Yuan Chang's attitude towards foreign races.

At that time, when Gongsun Chan learned that Yuan Chang and Liu He jointly repelled Karasuma, Eastern Xianbei and other alien soldiers and horses, Gongsun Chan drank three bowls of wine to celebrate. At the same time, the hatred for Yuan Chang has disappeared, but there is a strong sense of appreciation. For this reason, when Guan Jing used it to persuade him to surrender, Gongsun Zhan did not cut Guan Jing at the first time. If it weren't for Yuan Chang's treatment of foreign races, Guan Jing would definitely not be spared.

Subsequently, Gongsun Chan also decided to surrender to Yuan Chang.

When Liu Yu was the assassin of Youzhou, he used a gentle policy towards foreign races, which was completely different from Gongsun Zhan's attitude, and the two had countless contradictions, so Gongsun Chan finally killed Liu Yu. Now Yuan Chang said that after he took over as the assassin of Youzhou, Gongsun Chan continued to garrison the border to defend against foreign races, and Yuan Chang would not interfere, and would vigorously support it. Since no one bothered him to fight against the alien race, what reason did Gongsun Chan have for refusal? However, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao still had a feud against each other for killing their brothers, and this hatred could not be resolved in a few words. Therefore, Gongsun Chan decided to have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, if he won and avenged the killing of his brother, he handed over Youzhou to Yuan Chang, stationed at the border with peace of mind, and fought against foreign races. Anyway, he already understood Yuan Chang's attitude towards foreign races, even if he died, there would be successors, and Gongsun Chan didn't have to worry about it.

So, after appeasing Guan Jing. Gongsun Zhan sent an envoy to Yuan Shao to conduct a decisive battle in the plains outside Jixian County to decide the ownership of Youzhou. After receiving Yuan Shao's reply, Gongsun Zhan began to dispatch troops to the plains outside Jixian County to prepare for a decisive battle. As for the soldiers and horses of Liangxiang City and Anci City, they were also transferred back by Gongsun Zhan. Therefore, at the same time that Guan Jing returned to Luxian to reply to Yuan Chang, Gongsun Zhan also led his own soldiers to the battlefield outside Jixian County, preparing to fight Yuan Shao to the death. (To be continued.) )
