Chapter 31: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder [1st + 2nd Update]
Su Yunqing fought Youzhou, and the first two battles were quite smooth, at least there were people like Lu Bu who led cavalry to hang up, which made the Bingzhou army march forward at the very beginning, while Youzhou was defeated and retreated.
Of course, that's all there is to it.
Jia Xu said that the current Gongsun Chan is far inferior to when he was young, but that is only relatively speaking, from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, Gongsun Chan at this time is still a very powerful prince.
After successive defeats, Gongsun Chan clearly realized that Su Yunqing was not the kind of opponent who could be solved by fighting casually, and the Bingzhou Army was indeed a rare elite division in the world.
As for the state iron riding or something...... β_β Lu Bu, why hasn't he been banned?
I only saw Lu Bu once on the battlefield, and Gongsun Chan was about to blow up!
This kind of hanging b should have been sealed a long time ago!
I'm not convinced!
Even if Gongsun Zhan was already strictly corrupted at this time, after all, his eyesight was still there, and he could see that if he was simply a soldier, in fact, there was no insurmountable gap between his Youzhou soldiers and the Bingzhou soldiers led by Lu Bu, and the reason that really made this kind of battle one-sided was Lu Bu.
Lu Bu seemed to have his own aura bonus, and the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under his leadership had increased by more than a little bit.
So Gongsun Chan knew that it was time to show some real skills.
Otherwise, people will bully him.
Then LΓΌ Bu met his opponent, cavalry against cavalry, this time, LΓΌ Bu was blocked by Gongsun Zhan, and he could no longer advance an inch.
Gongsun Chan finally took out the elite of his elite - White Horse Yicong, this force is composed of people who are good at riding and archery in Gongsun Chan's army, and then I don't know if it's obsessive-compulsive disorder or what, in short, Gongsun Chan is uncomfortable not riding a white horse, so he decided to equip his elite troops with white horses, yes, all white horses, without any black horses and red horses and the like.
Because of this, Gongsun Chan also got the name of a white horse general.
The corners of Su Yunqing's mouth twitched when she listened: "Isn't it just a group of small floating clouds?" β
She didn't believe that Gongsun Chan dared to match Su Yue of a whole army, or Jie Chen...... He can't afford to sell it!
"What puffy clouds?" Xun You was thinking about how to deal with Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteousness, but he heard Su Yunqing's words: "Does the lord have any good ideas?" β
Jia Xu didn't follow this expedition, he stayed to watch his family, after all, it was still very unrealistic to rely only on the two generals of Gaotai and Zhang Liao to watch the house, so the military advisor with the army became Xun You.
It was really unexpected for Xun You to get such a heavy task as soon as he came, how could he not figure out how this group of people in the state dared to use him so freely?
But one thing Su Yunqing is clear, unlike Xun Yu, who is good at government affairs, Xun Yu is better at military affairs, is a typical tactical talent, and is still the top one.
This kind of person is really better for war than with Jia Xu, so she doesn't think there is any problem with reusing Xun You.
You have talent, I'm short of people, what's the problem with just using it?
No.
So Su Yunqing let it go.
This is what Jia Xu taught Su Yunqing.
It should be said that as Cheng Yu knew before, Su Yunqing is not a smart person in the ordinary sense, compared to Cao Cao, who is proficient in government affairs, knows the art of war, and is good at strategy, Su Yunqing has no advantage.
Therefore, from the beginning, Jia Xu did not plan to let Su Yunqing be a master of strategizing, and there were only two things he taught Su Yunqing.
With the right people to use, with the right advice to listen.
This is all that Jia Xu taught Su Yunqing...... Of course, from a certain point of view, Jia Xu did bring Su Yunqing into the pit, at least the current Su Yunqing doesn't think there is anything wrong with this practice at all.
This is a matter of course, there is no need to doubt at all, Su Yunqing thinks so.
But this is not normal, everyone understands this truth, but no one has ever been able to really do it completely, so it is unreasonable to let Su Yunqing take this path.
But Jia Xu still did it, just because of one point.
Su Yunqing is more stupid than anyone else, yes, just because she is stupider than other lords, so this kind of thing is only she can do, and only she can take this road.
This is indeed the case, Su Yunqing did not feel any discomfort.
In the face of Cheng Yu at the beginning, this is the case, and now the reuse of Xun Yu is also like this.
Of course, Xun You didn't know that in fact, the biggest reason why Su Yunqing reused him was that Su Yunqing was a fool, and he also felt that Su Yunqing was a wise master with great wisdom.
If Jia Xu heard the same question, he would probably ignore the past calmly, but Xun You asked it.
Regarding Xun You's question, Su Yunqing thought for a while and replied: "It's nothing, I just thought, why are they all white horses?" β
This must be the late stage of OCD, right?
"You said that I deliberately let a few black horses run around, can I force Gongsun Chan's obsessive-compulsive disorder to death?"
Xun You: "......"
He would think that Su Yunqing had any good way, he was so naΓ―ve.
No, Xun You felt that Su Yunqing must have deliberately said such unreliable words, just like Su Yunqing asked him why he didn't go to Yanzhou on the first day he first arrived in Bingzhou.
Xun You felt that Su Yunqing was testing him at this time, yes, it must be like this.
Xun You suddenly felt that he understood Su Yunqing's intentions, and Su Yunqing must be waiting for him to come up with a solution.
In other words, Su Yunqing has to see his true ability.
Xun You was in a high position as soon as he came to Bingzhou, so it was obvious that he could not be promoted to the point of being unconvincing, so Xun You needed to have the merits to prove his ability.
It is even more necessary to prove that Su Yunqing did not look at the wrong person in reusing him!
Xun You looked at Su Yunqing with a grateful face: "Thank you, lord!" β
Su Yunqing is giving him a chance to show his ability, which is simply too considerate for him!
Thinking of this, Xun You felt more and more that he could not live up to Su Yunqing's painstaking efforts: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a way to break the enemy." β
Su Yunqing blinked blankly and asked, "What do you think should be done?" β
Although I don't understand why Xun Yu suddenly thanked him, he ...... Anyway, if it's not an important matter, don't worry about it =v=
Xun You's method of dealing with Gongsun Zan was divided into two parts, one part was aimed at his cavalry, and the other part was aimed at his personality.
The most powerful of Gongsun Zhan's men was his cavalry, fighting against the Huns, and Gongsun Chan was even able to suppress the Huns who were good at riding and shooting in this regard, which shows the strength of his cavalry.
Therefore, although it is not unjust for Lu Bu to be suppressed by Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, it is still necessary to find a way to solve this problem.
Xun You feels that the key to solving this problem lies in Bai Ma Yicong.
"General Lu and Gongsun Zhan's troops fought before, and they did not fall behind, so it can be seen that the two sides are about the same in terms of ordinary soldiers, but the one who worries is only Bai Ma Yi, but Bai Ma Yi is limited in number, and as long as he suffers a heavy blow, it will inevitably be difficult to recover."
Su Yunqing immediately nodded: "Gongda, what you said is very right!" β
To be honest, Su Yunqing also felt that Bai Ma was strong if he was strong, but his number and difficulties in replenishment were doomed, and the shortcomings of this army were also obvious.
Let's not talk about the supplement of elite soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, let's talk about horses, horses used in war are not ordinary horses, and cavalry uses war horses, you must know that not all horses can become war horses.
Therefore, it is very difficult to replenish the war horse itself, and Su Yunqing is also a border leader, and even Bingzhou has a very powerful Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, so he is very clear about this.
But although the war horse is precious, it is not nowhere to be found if you want to add it, otherwise whether it is Youzhou or Liangzhou, the cavalry in these border areas will not be able to develop.
In fact, the border is relatively rich in war horses, so replenishing war horses can be done for a little money.
But the problem is, Gongsun Chan is a white horse obsessive-compulsive disorder!
He not only wants the best war horse, but also the best war horse, he not only wants the best war horse, but also the white war horse!
The three screening conditions instantly excluded most of the war horses.
Let's put it this way, it is also a supplementary war horse, Su Yunqing pulled a thousand war horses and could use them directly, but Gongsun Zhan ...... All they need is a hundred white horses.
That's the gap in supplementation.
Su Yunqing felt that Xun You was very witty, and he was able to discover the biggest shortcoming of Gongsun Zhan, a white horse obsessive-compulsive disorder!
However, Xun You doesn't think so_(:3γβ )_
Of course, Xun You didn't know what Su Yunqing thought, and seeing that Su Yunqing agreed, he continued: "Since we understand this, our approach is very simple, just concentrate our forces and inflict heavy losses on Baima Yicong." β
It's just that......
Xun You thought for a while and said: "This plan is not suitable for General Lu, and I also asked the lord to replace General Lu with General Zhao to face the White Horse Yicong." β
So after more than a month of stalemate between Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, Su Yunqing replaced Lu Bu and asked Zhao Yun to replace him.
It is said that Lu Bu was indignant because of this, and even took away most of the soldiers when he left, making Zhao Yun, who only brought more than 1,000 horses, very ugly.
Gongsun Chan unceremoniously ridiculed Su Yunqing: "In the end, she is a woman, she can't hold her breath, and she doesn't understand the danger of changing generals in battle!" β
After several fights, Gongsun Zhan had already seen that Lu Bu was also an arrogant person, at least on the battlefield, Lu Bu was by no means convincing, but at this time, Su Yunqing immediately replaced him because Lu Bu did not fight well, how could Lu Bu be convinced, and even Lu Bu must be complaining, and it would be more normal to lose his temper or something.
Gongsun Chan decided to teach Su Yunqing a lesson, he ordered to attack Zhao Yunqing's troops, he wanted to prove his strength to Su Yunqing and the world, he wanted everyone to know that he had not occupied Youzhou for so many years, let alone treat him as useless because he was old these years.
Those who dare to attack will surely be strongly counterattacked by him.
Of course, another reason was that Lu Bu lost his temper and took away most of the army, so the weak Zhao Yun immediately became the fat in the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't eat it.
In other words, Gongsun Chan also needs such a big victory that looks very good.
Since the war between Youzhou and the state, at first it was the state that had the advantage, and it was not until Gongsun Chan sent his elite to Shang Lu Bu that this situation was alleviated, but that was just a stalemate, Youzhou did not have a relatively good victory, Gongsun Chan needed a victory to boost morale, and then fight Su Yunqing's counterattack.
And now, this best opportunity is in front of Gongsun Zhan's eyes.
Therefore, when Lu Bu just left on the front foot, Zhao Yun on the back foot received the news that Gongsun Zhan's subordinate Bai Ma Yi had never attacked, which was actually not so surprising.
Zhao Yun had few soldiers, and the most elite cavalry was taken away by Lu Bu, so Zhao Yun could only rely on infantry to fight the cavalry.
As we all know, the most terrifying thing about cavalry is its ability to charge and kill, and fighting cavalry with infantry, especially on the plains, is simply a way to fight to the death.
But Zhao Yun really fought like this, or rather, Zhao Yun could only fight like this, even if the opponent he had to face was the top white horse servant in the cavalry.
Everyone thought that this would be a one-sided massacre, and it was, but the target of the massacre was not as Gongsun Chan thought at the beginning, it was he who slaughtered Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun did not dodge when facing Bai Ma Yicong, but chose to face it head-on, Gongsun Chan was still laughing at Zhao Yun's ignorance, but then he couldn't laugh.
Zhao Yun let Gongsun Zhan's cavalry charge all the way, and then Gongsun Zhan watched Bai Ma Yi go into the pit from the group that rushed to the front and approached Zhao Yun's position_(:3γβ )_
Yes, there is a pit in front of Zhao Yun's position, or the pit is not very vivid, it should be regarded as a relatively wide and deep ditch.
The most important thing in the cavalry charge is the momentum of no return, but now that the leader has fallen, the people behind have to slow down or change direction in order to avoid the obstacles in front of them, and suddenly the formation of the entire charging team is a little chaotic.
But Bai Ma Yi was Gongsun Zhan's elite troops from the end, and after the initial confusion, they quickly adjusted their position again, as for the trenches dug in the ground, there was nothing to worry about, for these battle-hardened cavalrymen, they might be pitted when they didn't know, but now that they knew, it was really easy to cross this trench.
But the trench was not meant to stop them from advancing.
After crossing three trenches in a row, Bai Ma Yicong had completely approached Zhao Yun's position, and it could be said that the hand-to-hand encounter was in an instant.
It was at this time that Zhao Yun gave an order, and suddenly the ambushed archers fired ten thousand arrows, and the rain of arrows in the sky was directly sprinkled on the unsuspecting white horse Yicong.
Su Yunqing equipped Zhao Yun with not an ordinary bow and arrow, but a strong bow and a strong crossbow, both in terms of range and lethality compared to ordinary bows and arrows, but the price is also high_(:3γβ )_
To put it bluntly, it's just throwing money.
After three rounds of rapid continuous scattering, the loss of Bai Ma Yicong could not be ignored, but at the same time, Bai Ma Yicong had also rushed into Zhao Yun's position, and it was unrealistic to use bows and arrows at this time, Zhao Yun did not hesitate to order the soldiers to abandon the bow and arrows.
At this time, the cavalry was no longer much of a threat, it should be said that three consecutive trenches forced Bai Ma Yicong to slow down, and three consecutive rounds of strong attack scattering caused their speed to drop greatly, and even the formation was slightly chaotic.
At this time, the soldiers of Bingzhou picked up the halberds that had been prepared by them a long time ago, formed a team of several people, and stabbed directly at the white horse Yicong, not even letting go of all the people and horses.
The cavalry, which had lost the momentum of the charge, was nothing, especially in the face of such a long-armed siege, and at this moment, only a sound of drums could be heard, and suddenly a killing sound was heard from the side.
Gongsun Zhan looked at the white horse Yicong who was trapped in Zhao Yun's hands, and then looked at Lu Bu who was killed from the side, he realized very clearly that his white horse Yicong would never come back.
The three trenches that could have been easily crossed have become insurmountable moats at this time, lacking starting distance, and it is not easy for war horses to jump over those specially dug trenches, let alone three in a row.
These trenches prevented the White Horsemen from retreating, and when the cavalry lost their proud speed, they were less vulnerable than ordinary foot soldiers.
Gongsun Chan could only order a retreat.
At this time, it is very stupid to increase troops to save Bai Ma Yicong, which can only be sent to death in vain, and there is no meaning.
But Gongsun Zhan had just turned around when he saw flags waving on the other hillside, and it was obvious that a large group of people had arrived.
"And the state Mu Su Yunqing."
Looking at the flag that was getting closer and closer, Gongsun Chan said the name.
Gongsun Zan was right, it was indeed Su Yunqing who personally led the main force to arrive.
To be honest, Gongsun Chan didn't want to directly confront Su Yunqing at this time, just losing a game was very bad for his morale, not to mention that anyone with eyes could see that Su Yunqing had been ambushed there for a long time, since he had been prepared, he obviously had full confidence to talk to him.
But the loser does not lose the battle, and he was unceremonious to Su Yunqing's Gongsun Zhan: "Since the battle, I can be regarded as seeing Suzhou Mu, I thought you only dared to hide in the rear and steal peace." β
Gongsun Chan has always appeared on the front line of battle.
However, for Gongsun Zhan's words, Su Yunqing didn't say anything, the corners of Xun You's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, can you not provoke Su Yunqing to go to the battlefield?
Yes, after Xun You gave a strategy to defeat the White Horse Yicong, Su Yunqing couldn't help it immediately, she said that she would go too!
Isn't that a joke!
Although Gongsun Chan is also on the front line of the battlefield, but Gongsun Chan went as the commander, if you want to say that Gongsun Chan will definitely not participate in such a thing as a battlefield fighter, but Xun You looked at Su Yunqing's eager eyes and knew that if he let Su Yunqing go to the front line, if there is a provocation by the enemy general, there is no need to say anything else, Su Yunqing will definitely be the first to rush out, and he can't stop it.
My lord is witty, but he's a battle maniac.
Until this time, Xun You thought so.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan's deliberate provocation was, in Xun You's opinion, simply encouraging Su Yunqing to go to the battlefield.
Sure enough, Su Yunqing couldn't help it when she heard this, but she didn't rush out directly and ask for three hundred rounds of battle with Gongsun Zhan.
If you can't act, it's better to talk about it.
Su Yunqing did not hesitate to mock Gongsun Zhan: "You are rushing to the front, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be useful." β
Looking at the white horse righteous servants who were almost slaughtered, Su Yunqing grinned at Gongsun Zhan: "Is General Gongsun happy to see it?" β
"β!! you"
Gongsun Zhan was suddenly half angry, Su Yunqing's words were simply poking a knife in his heart!
This woman has a fairy-like face, but in fact she is afraid that she is a femme fatale!
Gongsun Chan glared at Su Yunqing fiercely: "You don't have to be too proud, this is just the beginning!" β
"Just getting started?" Su Yunqing put on a very surprised look: "How can you think this is the beginning?" I'm ready to finish the general today. β
If he is so arrogant, if Gongsun Chan can endure it, he will not be Gongsun Chan!
"Although the general defeated my white horse today, so what?"
Baima Yicong is indeed the elite of Gongsun Zhan, but it is not the capital of Gongsun Zhan to dominate Youzhou.
"The defeat of Bai Ma Yi Cong was not at the hands of the general, and even, in fact, the general came up with such a method precisely because he did not dare to let the Bingzhou cavalry and Bai Ma Yi confront each other head-on, right?"
"Those who don't dare to face the enemy head-on, my Gongsun Chan is not convinced!"
"I'm not convinced!" Su Yunqing's response was still unhesitating.
Gongsun Zhan: "...... (β―β΅β‘β²)β―οΈ΅β»ββ»β
Hold back the peat!
As soon as Gongsun Zhan let go of his cruel words, he was blocked back by Su Yunqing's words, can this be endured?
What if you can't bear it? Gongsun Chan knew that he had to endure it today.
Gongsun Chan ordered a retreat.
Yes, since Su Yunqing has been prepared, it is not a good idea to start a war with her here at this time, Gongsun Chan is not stupid, he can dominate Youzhou for so many years, of course he can't be a fool.
It's just that Gongsun Chan wants to leave, but Su Yunqing won't really let him go.
Gongsun Chan obviously knew this, so he said that he was retreating, but he retreated very cautiously, and even left enough troops to break the rear.
Then Su Yunqing watched Gongsun Chan leave.
Xun You couldn't help but look at Su Yunqing: "Isn't the lord going to chase after him?" β
"Don't chase it," Su Yunqing's answer was also very simple: "Didn't you say that our target is just these people in front of us?" β
Now Xun You finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Su Yunqing would really chase Gongsun Zan on a whim, and it would be troublesome.
Although they came prepared, considering that this is Youzhou and Gongsun Zhan's home field, if Gongsun Chan really wants to run, and they blindly chase it, then it may be who suffers.
Just when Gongsun Zhan was wondering why he was going to run away Su Yunqing but didn't come to chase after him, he suddenly heard the sound of killing behind him, obviously Su Yunqing did it.
Su Yunqing didn't feel at ease if he didn't do it, but at this time, he made Gongsun Chan feel at ease.
After all, it always makes people feel uneasy when things are abnormal, and now that Su Yunqing comes to chase and kill, it is a normal phenomenon, but it can reassure Gongsun Zhan.
After Gongsun Chan withdrew for a distance, Su Yunqing really gave up and continued the pursuit, which made Gongsun Chan, who was waiting for Su Yunqing to advance lightly, a little disappointed, but overall it was quite reassuring.
But Gongsun Chan has never been a person who will give up lightly, even if Su Yunqing has the upper hand during the day, he will still work hard to win.
That night, Gongsun Chan sent a special unit to attack Su Yunqing's camp at night, but after the soldiers left the camp, Gongsun Chan did not receive any news until the next morning.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gongsun Chan finally received the news, but the night attack failed.
In other words, Su Yunqing seemed to have expected Gongsun Zhan's night attack, and he simply prepared a trap and waited for Gongsun Chan to jump inside, and then Gongsun Chan really jumped in.
Even if it was just a night attack failure, Gongsun Chan not only failed the night attack here, but even the soldiers and horses sent out were surrounded by Su Yunqing, and the news that Gongsun Chan received was to ask for help.
Just when Gongsun Chan was angry about this, a subordinate reported that someone outside asked to see him, and claimed to be his classmate.
Gongsun Chan once studied under Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was also a famous figure in the world, and there were not a few students, Gongsun Chan really didn't understand who would come to him at such a time: "Did he say what his name was?" β
"Yes, he said that his name was Liu Bei, the word Xuande, and he said that he came to help the general."
