Chapter 34: Juyong City Head [Second Watch + Third Watch]
There is indeed a way to fight this battle in winter, but in the end it is still too risky.
Jia Xu and Xun You both knew very well what the problem they were facing, and they knew even more clearly where the disadvantages of the state army were in this battle.
"But because it's our greater disadvantage, we have more opportunities." Xun You explained to Su Yunqing: "Juyong Pass is dangerous, and it is impossible for ordinary methods to break through the pass lightly, so I have to go another way." โ
As for why Gongsun Chan retreated to Juyong Pass, everyone is actually very clear, or Gongsun Chan's move is completely expected by Xun You.
"In fact, even if Gongsun Chan doesn't take the initiative to choose to do this, I will find a way to induce him to do so."
Xun You is very clear about Gongsun Zhan's temper: "Gongsun Chan will not stop fighting after seeing our disadvantage, on the contrary, he will definitely fight." โ
And once you want to fight, it's definitely the kind that no one can stop.
But what Xun You is waiting for is Gongsun Zan to fight.
Jia Xu and Xun You have a very tacit understanding on this point, they know that the move of the state army is a risk, but this danger is completely acceptable compared to the stupid attack on Juyong Pass.
For Gongsun Zhan, whether Su Yunqing withdraws or not, he has an advantage, if Su Yunqing withdraws his troops, then at most he will withdraw to Dai County, which can be regarded as completely abandoning Shanggu County that he just fought, but Dai County is also a newly occupied area, Su Yunqing is not in Dai County, and the supplement he can get is limited, it can be said that the consumption of retreating to Dai County is only a little smaller, plus Dai County and Merge Prefecture are close together, which can be regarded as relieving a lot of logistical pressure, but this does not mean that there is no pressure, A long northern winter was enough to exhaust Su Yunqing, and when the time came, Gongsun Chan could completely defeat Su Yunqing's tired soldiers with superior forces.
Of course, if Su Yunqing doesn't withdraw his troops and continues to stick to Shanggu County, then it's no problem, the long logistics line is enough to drag Su Yunqing down, not to mention that this is also within the scope of Gongsun Zhan's attack, he can use this winter's good consumption to weaken Su Yunqing, and if it goes well, it can even end this battle of Youhe.
Therefore, when Su Yunqing not only did not withdraw the troops, but the news of the increase in troops reached Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan immediately smiled.
Su Yunqing's greed will kill her sooner or later!
Sure enough, Gongsun Chan did not move, but gradually waited until the cold winter really came, and Gongsun Chan began to move.
He began to attack Su Yunqing's logistics line.
The road from Bingzhou to Shanggu is not easy, this route is long and difficult, it can be said that the pressure on Su Yunqing in terms of logistics is very great.
But Bingzhou can at least hold on, there has been no big war that really hurt the vitality for many years, and Bingzhou has the foundation of Ding Yuan's governance before, it can be said that it is still very confident to support Su Yunqing's army in Youzhou.
But having confidence doesn't mean that you can accept this kind of logistical loss.
This method of consuming local logistics forces Su Yunqing used it when she was fighting Xianbei people, and it should be said that she is a more familiar method, but this time this method was used by Gongsun Zan on herself.
Su Yunqing felt quite aggrieved.
Of course, although Gongsun Chan said that he was fighting, the harvest was not big, just because since he decided to stick to Shanggu, even if Xun Yu didn't say it, Su Yunqing knew very well what needed to be paid attention to.
Xun You supported Su Yunqing very much: "As long as the lord insists like this for a while, Gongsun Zhan himself will not be able to bear it, he will definitely not be satisfied with this little fight, but there will be big moves." โ
Yes, Gongsun Zhan's character is his biggest weakness, and after attacking Su Yunqing several times in a row and finally gaining a little, Gongsun Chan realized one thing.
A small number of troops cannot achieve a decent victory, Su Yunqing has long been prepared for him, and the Bingzhou army also has rich experience in fighting in cold weather, so Gongsun Zhan can have a limited advantage.
What Gongsun Chan doesn't understand even more is where did Su Yunqing get so much confidence?
The logistics of Bingzhou are too trenched, Gongsun Chan said that he was simply stunned, okay?!
So of course, Gongsun Chan made a decision, he wanted to gather a large army to form a decisive battle with Su Yunqing at this time.
Not to mention Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, even Liu Guanzhang's trio were stunned!
Bo Jue, you 484 stupid?
If he could, Liu Bei really wanted to ask Gongsun Zhan this question, but in the end he chose to put it mildly.
"If the army goes out of the pass to confront each other, then we will lose the Juyong Pass as a reliance, not to mention that it is not easy for the state army to fight at this time, but this is the same for us."
Gongsun Chan felt that this was not a matter at all: "Youzhou is my place, isn't it enough to have confidence in stepping on your own land?" What's more, who said that the form is the same on both sides? Even if I get out of the customs, but Juyong Pass is behind me, but this is not the case for Su Yunqing, her merge state is far away from her! โ
Besides, Gongsun Chan is a person with a strong sense of offense, he doesn't like to stick to one place, if he is allowed to stay in Juyong Pass and shrink for a whole winter to slowly fight Su Yunqing's war of attrition, no more, Gongsun Chan feels that he can suffocate himself to death before Su Yunqing comes in.
Liu Bei can't help it, Gongsun Zan has already made up his mind, so this is not something he can control.
So just half a month later, Gongsun Zhan felt that the time was ripe, and went directly out of the customs to find Su Yunqing to fight.
Su Yunqing was dumbfounded.
"Gongda, Gongsun Chan is crazy, right?"
Everyone knows that there is a pit in front of them, how dare Gongsun Chan jump into it with such fanfare?
Xun You was not surprised, Gongsun Zhan's move had long been expected by him: "Since this is the case, then it is time to accompany Gongsun Chan to play a few games." โ
However, this time Gongsun Chan is relatively cautious, at least he knows that Lu Bu is a big hanging B, and he can't fight Lu Bu head-on, then he has a few generals who are not enough for Lu Bu to cut, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been beaten by Lu Bu before, Gongsun Chan doesn't feel that he has stronger generals under him than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
So Gongsun Zhan first sent an army to pretend to be the main force and attracted Lu Bu away, and then he really sent troops to find Su Yunqing to fight.
Lu Bu's personality really couldn't stand the excitement, and he thought that he had caught the main force of Gongsun Zhan, so he immediately ran away.
When the news that Lu Bu was chasing Gongsun Zhan's army that had deliberately run out to lure the enemy and run away reached Su Yunqing, Su Yunqing immediately sighed: "When will Feng Xian have more brains?" Gao Shun too, why don't you stop it! โ
Xun You said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, although General Lu is in the scheme, General Zhao and General Dian are still there, and it is not a problem to deal with Gongsun Zhan." โ
"I'm not worried about this," Su Yunqing said very naturally: "It doesn't matter if Zilong Laodian is not there, they can't even find a person who can beat Feng Xian, and when the time comes, I can pick all the generals under Gongsun Zhan alone, I just think it's too embarrassing for Feng Xian to be played." โ
What an obvious pitfall, why did Lu Bu jump like that?
Xun You: "......"
Oh yes, he almost forgot that Su Yunqing's own force value was comparable to Lu Bu_(:3ใโ )_
Gongsun Chan is menacing, of course Su Yunqing will not be cowardly, she met Gongsun Chan again in front of the battle, and this time by the way, she also met the famous Liu Guanzhang and the others.
Gongsun Zhan saw Su Yunqing and immediately laughed: "General Su, don't come unharmed." โ
Su Yunqing has never been a polite person, she nodded directly: "Okay, what about you, General Gongsun?" โ
"I'm naturally better," Gongsun Zhan was quite dissatisfied with Su Yunqing: "General Su looks full of confidence, but I don't know if Lu Bu can still stop my generals this time?" โ
Obviously, Gongsun Zhan also knew that Lu Bu was not in Su Yunqing's army at this time.
Su Yunqing drew his sword, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Gongsun Zhan: "The general will try it and you will know, but I don't know what kind of generals can be under the general's account." โ
Saying this, Su Yunqing's eyes swept over the group of people on Gongsun Zhan's side, including Liu Guanzhang and the others, and she smiled very disdainfully: "Could it be that General Gongsun is counting on these people to be able to fight me?" โ
"What nonsense are you talking about, woman! Didn't you see your grandfather and me here! โ
Su Yunqing's disdain was too obvious, Zhang Fei's violent temper was obviously unbearable, but Su Yunqing didn't even bother to give him a look.
"I don't talk to the nameless rats."
These words directly pasted on Zhang Fei's face, which obviously made him even more angry.
"You woman has such a big breath! Your grandfather Zhang Yide is here, but someone dares to fight with me! โ
Saying this, Zhang Fei rushed out without waiting for Gongsun Zhan's order to pat the horse.
Su Yunqing still looked disdainful: "People who can't even beat my son dare to call themselves grandfathers?" The grandson is about the same. โ
Then without waiting for Zhang Fei to refute, Su Yunqing said directly: "I'm not interested in this kind of person, do you want to go up and play with him?" โ
"Yes!"
Although Su Yunqing looked down on Zhang Fei, it was obvious that Zhang Fei's martial arts were also top-notch.
Dian Wei Ke is excited! I'm finally able to do a good job!
Dian Wei and Zhang Fei fought together, and the first round was undecided.
It's just that after Zhang Fei held Dian Wei's double halberd, he couldn't help but feel a tingling in his arm: "You black guy has a lot of strength!" โ
Dian Wei didn't say much, he had always rarely spoken when he competed, and what responded to Zhang Fei was only the double halberd that fell down again.
Seeing that Zhang Fei and Dian Wei were fighting back and forth, Su Yunqing began to talk about Gongsun Zan again.
"Is it rare for a general to send someone to do such a thing? Could this be the one who was almost beheaded by my son Fengxian last time? Su Yunqing's gaze swept over Gongsun Zhan's military general camp: "I heard that it was two to one at that time, why, the other one was already scared and didn't dare to come today?" โ
Of course, Su Yunqing knew that Guan Yu was coming, but she just said it on purpose, and sure enough, with Guan Yu's arrogance, she couldn't bear such an insult immediately.
"Guan Yun is here, who dares to fight with me?!"
This time, it was Su Yunqing who rushed out by himself.
Guan Yu was stunned.
However, Su Yunqing said very bluntly: "I am different from those rats who only dare to shrink behind themselves!" โ
These words are obviously talking about Gongsun Zan again.
Guan Yu had only heard of Su Yunqing's force value, he hadn't really seen it, he just heard that it was very good, but the Yellow Turban didn't meet any very famous opponents in the first battle, Dong Zhuo's battle, Hua Xiong let Sun Jian behead, and others didn't need Su Yunqing to make a move, most of the time the bones that were a little difficult to gnaw Lu Bu were the first to rush up.
Therefore, Guan Yu has only heard of Su Yunqing's martial arts, but he has not really seen it, and there is no record that is very worthy of reference.
Of course, because of this, Guan Yu didn't think Su Yunqing was strong.
Maybe among women, Su Yunqing's martial arts are good, but women and men fighting head-on on the battlefield are not a combat power at all.
At least the impression of most women in this era is still weak and gentle, and Su Yunqing is just a gentle and harmless face like a girl next door.
"I don't want to bully women and call you a general in the army."
Guan Yu's long knife was tucked behind him, and this sentence was extremely arrogant.
Su Yunqing only had one sentence in response: "I'll say this after winning the battle first!" โ
Saying this, Su Yunqing directly threw the double swords in his hand to the ground, and replaced them with a pair of double swords that looked very thick.
Battlefield fighting generals, especially horse battles, swords are much better than swords, and Su Yunqing's weapon definition has always been double soldiers rather than double swords.
And then it's a slash without hesitation!
As soon as this knife came out, Guan Yu's eyes changed, and his face was condensed, and he immediately waved the knife to catch it, but after holding this move, his complexion couldn't help but change.
This woman has so much strength!
Lu Bu is the kind of person who is born with divine power, Guan Yu and Lu Bu almost collapsed after the battle, and this is still the result of Zhang Fei sharing it with him.
But when he met Su Yunqing this time, Guan Yu thought that a woman like Su Yunqing, who looked very weak, could have much strength? As a result, after receiving Su Yunqing's move, he realized that Su Yunqing's strength was only worse than Lu Bu's.
It is said to be worse than Lu Bu, but this is amazing enough.
But Guan Yu didn't want to think about it, Su Yunqing's second knife had already slashed again.
Su Yunqing and Guan Yu had been fighting for less than ten rounds, and Guan Yu had already felt tremendous pressure and threat.
It was an even greater threat than Lu Bu.
After fighting again, Guan Yu pulled the reins to widen the distance between him and Su Yunqing, and it was only at this time that he really went to see this woman.
Extremely beautiful appearance, extremely harmless appearance, and below this is the offensive that made Guan Yu's back almost soaked.
Lu Bu's martial arts take into account both strength and skill, while Su Yunqing is slightly different, her strength is not as great as Lu Bu, but her skills are more subtle.
This kind of technique is not a flashy trick, on the contrary, Su Yunqing's moves are extremely simple and concise, but each move is too good in terms of speed and timing.
She made the most suitable move at the right time, and her movements were all flawless.
This is a formidable opponent.
Guan Yu's face was solemn, he already knew that Su Yunqing was an opponent of the same level as Lu Bu or even more terrifying than Lu Bu.
The fierceness and domineering of the knife revealed in that move and style cannot be practiced even by ordinary men, but Su Yunqing has.
"What? Don't you keep fighting? Su Yunqing grinned and pulled out a smile: "Then tell you in advance, the target this time is the throat." โ
As soon as the words fell, Su Yunqing had already rushed up again, and Guan Yu could only respond.
The confrontation between the two was fleeting, but after they separated, Su Yunqing shook his head: "I didn't win." โ
Guan Yu avoided that knife at the critical moment, otherwise Guan Yu would have been beheaded at this time.
But Guan Yu knew that in fact, he didn't have that much ability, Su Yunqing's knife did pose a huge threat to him, and that knife was not missed, but he avoided the fatal one.
In the silence, Guan Yu could already feel a warm and moist sensation in his neck, which was especially obvious in the ice and snow at this time.
Su Yunqing's knife had already cut through his neck, and he was only one step away from being able to really decapitate him.
This is the real line between life and death.
But Su Yunqing didn't give Guan Yu more time, she attacked again.
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Feidianwei, who was on a par with each other, and shook his head slightly, but when he saw Guan Yu and Su Yunqing, his face was solemn, and when Su Yunqing slashed the long knife across Guan Yu's chest for the second time, Liu Bei finally couldn't help it.
"Cloud Chief! I'm here to help! โ
Saying this, Liu Bei took out his double-strand sword and rushed forward.
Liu Bei knew very well that Guan Yu's support was very difficult, which made him think of the time when Guan Yu and Zhang Fei teamed up to fight against Lu Bu some time ago.
The force value of this mother and son is as unscientific as it is! (โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ๏ธตโปโโป
The system said that he did give Su Yunqing a hang =v= in terms of force value
Liu Bei's martial arts, whether it is good or not, in short, it is also a level that can be seen in the past, but that is only relative.
Battlefield fighting or something...... Liu Bei is not good at this!
After Liu Bei rushed up, he did share some of the pressure for Guan Yu, but at the same time, Guan Yu also had to be distracted to protect him!
Unlike Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's force value is not even wanted to see Guan Yu, who has a big gap in front of Su Yunqing_(:3ใโ )_
For Su Yunqing, just like Liu Bei, she won't be afraid to come a few more!
It's just that Su Yunqing can't help but have some scruples, in other words, if she accidentally cuts Liu Bei Guan Yu here, there won't be any problems, right?
Su Yunqing thinks that she doesn't have such a high IQ and can think clearly about what the general trend of the world will be if she loses Liu Bei, although she doesn't know what the specific development process is, but at least the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu still know.
But that doesn't mean she'll keep her hand.
In a place like the battlefield, those who rushed up by themselves should be conscious, and blame me for being accidentally hacked to death?
Guan Yu added Liu Bei here and the situation did not get any better, considering that Liu Bei was by his side, Guan Yu thought about it and decided to withdraw first, he must at least ensure Liu Bei's safety first.
Gongsun Chan also paid attention to the battle between Su Yunqing and Guan Yu, and seeing that Su Yunqing was completely suppressing Guan Yu and Liu Bei, Gongsun Chan couldn't help muttering a few words in his heart.
Su Yunqing's fierce combat power is really a little scary, although Lu Bu is also ferocious, but Lu Bu is a tall man, the same combat power, from Lu Bu's table is far less shocking than Su Yunqing's appearance.
Of course, due to Gongsun Zhan's attention, he also saw at this time that Guan Yu was no longer fighting against Su Yunqing, but only took a defensive position wholeheartedly, and he had to take care of Liu Bei beside him, which could be regarded as very hard.
No matter what Gongsun Chan said, he had fought for so many years, and at this time, he naturally saw that Guan Yu was ready to retreat, but Su Yunqing's offensive was too fierce, and Guan Yu was already very laborious to resist, not to mention retreating with Liu Bei.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan simply drew his bow and arrow, aimed at Su Yunqing, and immediately shot an arrow.
Su Yunqing keenly felt Gongsun Zhan's arrow, and she avoided it without danger, but Guan Yu also seized this opportunity to run away with Liu Bei.
At this time, Zhang Fei also took advantage of the distraction of Dian Wei's arrow to shoot Su Yunqing for Gongsun Zan and quickly retreated, and after watching Su Yunqing vigilantly and finally finding that Su Yunqing did not chase Guan Yu and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei turned his horse's head and prepared to return to Gongsun Zan army.
At this time, Su Yunqing also picked up the bow and arrow he was carrying on the horse and shot an arrow at Zhang Fei.
"Third brother, be careful!"
Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise, only to feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but then he found that Su Yunqing's arrow was not shot at Zhang Fei but at the horse where Zhang Fei was sitting.
The horse immediately neighed and rushed out with an arrow, Zhang Fei was indeed brave, he grabbed the reins, forcibly controlled the crazy horse, and then jumped down, although the action was slightly wolf, but it was indeed unharmed.
Then before Zhang Fei could scold Su Yunqing for hurting people with a secret arrow in his back, Su Yunqing had already ordered an offensive.
At this time, the two armies were completely opposed, Zhang Fei had to put away his temper, but Gongsun Chan asked his subordinates to lead Zhang Fei with another horse to fight again.
This battle was fought from morning to night, until it was dark, and there was no winner or loser, seeing that the whole day had passed, and even the moon had climbed out, neither Su Yunqing nor Gongsun Zan had the spirit to fight again, so the two sides stopped and withdrew their troops, preparing to fight again in the coming day.
It's just that after Su Yunqing went back, she found that Xun You was standing at the gate of the camp and looking at her with a smile on his face, so Su Yunqing knew that something good must have happened.
Sure enough, Xun You didn't say anything else, just handed Su Yunqing a battle report for Su Yunqing to read for himself.
Su Yunqing immediately smiled when he saw it: "It seems that Feng Xian's IQ is still very high." โ
Although Gongsun Zhan deliberately went out all the way to attract Lu Bu's attention, Lu Bu was not really stupid, especially on the battlefield, Lu Bu's battlefield intuition was even willing to bow to Xun You.
Lu Bu was born with a keen eye for war.
So obviously, Gongsun Zhan didn't deceive Lu Bu and was recognized by Lu Bu for a long time, of course, the force value of the troops used to tempt Lu Bu and its generals, who were so bad in Lu Bu's opinion, that they were probably one of the reasons.
Lu Bu felt fooled and wanted to come to Su Yunqing immediately, he knew that if there was a main force after Gongsun Chan led him away, it would definitely be in Su Yunqing, but Gao Shun stopped him, Lu Bu usually listens to two people when he fights, one Zhang Liao and one Gao Shun, after all, these two people's IQs seem to be very reliable, and now Zhang Liao has not come to watch his family in Bingzhou, so don't you just listen to Gao Shun.
On the other side, after Gongsun Chan returned to the camp with the army, he received news that Juyong Pass had been attacked.
Gongsun Chan couldn't sit still at this time, he was about to rush back, but before Gongsun Chan could leave, the next news came immediately.
Juyong Pass is lost.
At this time, Lu Bu was standing on the head of the city of Juyong Pass and bragging to Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, let me tell you, I already knew that your little strength might not be enough, so I deliberately pretended to be in the middle of the plan and then came to help you, you see, even my mother couldn't have imagined that I would come here, and Gongsun Chan couldn't have thought of it, how about it, it's righteous enough!"
Zhao Yun: "...... โ_โโ
Are you as stupid as you are?
