"Zhao Ling, you lead three hundred scout cavalry, immediately investigate the situation within a radius of 100 miles of sour jujube, keep an eye on the Yanjin defense line, and report any movement immediately!"

"No!"

"Kong Xu, you immediately lead 8,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, rush to ten miles north of Suojube, build fortifications, and wait in formation, without my order, you can't fight, you can only block it on the spot!"

"No!"

"Tian Kai, you personally led 10,000 Youzhou troops, lined up with the left and right wings of the Qingzhou army, and pressed the Qingzhou army!"

"No!"

“……”

Gongsun Chan is a commander who has experienced great battles in Youzhou, fighting against the grassland aliens, fighting against the Zhongshan rebels, and fighting with the Yellow Turban Army...... After a hundred battles, even if the news is sudden, his calmness on the battlefield still exists.

The most important thing is that he still has 8,000 White Horse Followers in his hands, and with the action power of White Horse Followers, the 100,000 army can't trap him, so even if he hears the news very suddenly, he is not worried, and he can be regarded as fearless.

After calming down, he showed the calmness that a master general should have, and began to quickly arrange and prepare for the battle.

"Lord, there is no room for loss in the county seat of Sujuju, there is a large amount of grain and grass and baggage in the city, once it is lost, we are the sinners of this crusade against the herdsmen, it is better to inform the coalition army first!" Strategist Guan Jing said persuasively.

Guan Jing is a scribe in Youzhou, only in his early thirties, a few years ago he was just a down-and-out scholar, but since following Gongsun Zhan, he began to show his talent, and he is also a well-known scholar in Youzhou.

"Ziyu, isn't informing the coalition forces now tantamount to telling them that a certain family is incompetent?"

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, his eyes were a little displeased, and he said: "The loss of Yanjin is already a fact, if we can't defeat this force of soldiers and horses, we must let the coalition army send soldiers and horses back to help, my soldiers in Youzhou, where is the face, besides, even if the city is not considered to be a thick wall, with our troops, even if there are 100,000 troops, it can't be broken!" ”

He is very confident in his heart to keep the sour dates.

There are 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding the sour date, of which 30,000 are Youzhou troops, but among the 30,000 Youzhou troops, Liu Bei took 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hanoi with the vanguard army, and Gongsun Chan still has 25,000 elite soldiers in his hands.

Another 20,000 soldiers and horses, of which 8,000 are Qingzhou troops, led by Kong Xu, a son of the Confucian family of Qingzhou and the governor of Qi County, and the other 3,000 are Dongjun soldiers and horses.

The remaining 9,000 soldiers and horses are still the Guangling army, led by Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling.

Youzhou is a strong army, the strength of the Qingzhou soldiers is not weak, and the Guangling army is also a carefully selected young man, with the current strength of the sour jujube, there are 42,000 soldiers and horses, guarding the sour jujube city, unless the 100,000 army is coming, otherwise Gongsun Chan does not think that he can break the sour jujube that he personally guarded.

"No matter what, a certain family must personally defeat this group of attacking enemy troops in order to save a trace of the face of our Youzhou army!"

Gongsun Chan said resolutely.

The Youzhou Army could not afford to lose face on the battlefield.

The loss of Yanjin is already his lack of vigilance, and if it is spread now, how many people will laugh at their Youzhou army.

"That lord, we must at least let Brother Xuande lead the troops back, Yanjin has been breached, the back road has been broken, with the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Brother Xuande, it is impossible to conquer Hanoi, and the time is undoubtedly waiting for death, now retreat, it can also assist us to attack before and after, and repel the enemy army that comes to attack!"

Guan Jing is very familiar with Gongsun Zhan's temperament, a little stubborn, and rarely changes the things he decides, so he is not obsessed, but takes a step back to advise.

"That's okay!"

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he nodded: "You immediately send scouts, travel eight hundred miles, enter Hanoi, and recall Brother Xuande's soldiers and horses!" ”

"No!"

Guan Jing nodded.

……

In the evening, ten miles outside the city of Sujujube, between the slope of the mountain and the official road, the two armies faced each other.

Gongsun Zhan rode his horse and looked at the soldiers and horses opposite, and the black mandala military flag with the word "pastoral" had already told him who the soldiers and horses were attacking the jujube this time: "Sure enough, it's the Jingping army!" ”

After thinking about it, he also discussed with the strategist Guan Jing for more than an hour, and finally believed that the only one who was most likely to go south to the sour jujube was the Jingping army in Hanoi.

It's just that he can't figure it out, Liu Bei's forces are pressed in Hanoi, and the main force of Jingping's army is going south, so why don't he have any news at all.

Naturally, he didn't know that the Jingping army was going south from the Dangyin bypass to Baima, taking the eastern front, and not taking the defense line of the Hanoi official road, so he could attack his unprepared southward sour jujube without being discovered.

"How's it going?" After Gongsun Chan walked up, he glanced at Kong Xu, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, and asked.

"After we lined up, they also stopped, and they didn't mean to attack, but they didn't retreat either, so now they formed a confrontation!"

Kong Xu said.

"Have you checked the strength of the troops?"

"Lord, preliminary investigation, there are only about 10,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side!" Zhao Ling is a native of Changshan, and has been under the command of Gongsun Chan for two years, with superb equestrian skills and outstanding marksmanship, and is the captain of the scout battalion under the command of Gongsun Zhan.

"More than 10,000 soldiers?"

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he frowned slightly: "Have you investigated clearly?" ”

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses dare to attack the sour jujube, who gave them the courage, you must know that even if he is the elite of Youzhou, there are still as many as 25,000, even if the Qingzhou army and the Guangling army are not used, the main force of Youzhou under his command alone is not something that more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can eat.

"My lord, judging from the situation of them camping and burying pots, they will never exceed fifteen thousand soldiers and horses!" Zhao Ling said firmly.

"Check again!"

"No!"

Zhao Ling nodded and took the order.

Gongsun Zhan rode his horse forward slowly, his eyes were like electricity, staring at the camp not far from the other party, he suddenly took a deep breath, strode over, and walked about eighty steps away from the opponent's army before he shouted: "Where is the Mulong Map?" ”

Jing Pingjun, Mu Longtu.

This is the name of the hook.

Since the First Battle of Hanoi, no one among the princes of the Kwantung Alliance did not know these two names.

Jingpingjun is here, and I'm afraid that the Mulong Diagram should also come.

"Who's coming?"

The shield in front of the military formation parted ways, and Mu Jing rode out of it on a red mastiff foal, his eyes indifferent and his expression cold, as if he asked insignificant.

"He is Mu Longtu, he is really young!"

Gongsun Zhan's eyes flashed with a touch of essence, and he looked at Mu Jing carefully from eighty steps, and then he arched his hand and said: "A certain Gongsun Chan of Liaoxi!" ”

"General White Horse, Gongsun Bogui!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly: "I've been looking up for a long time!" ”

"Mu Longtu, the world praises you as the male of the youth, although you are young and the ability to lead the army is comparable to the former champion Hou, but when you see it today, you are disappointed, you are just more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yanjin ferry is just a trick, and now you are in the hinterland of my sour dates, it is self-destruction, I think you are not as young and intelligent as the world's praise, but a little stupid!" After a few words of greeting, Gongsun Zhan began to test the reality of Mu Jing.

"Stupid people can only see the stupidity of others, and smart people can see the wisdom of others!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "General Baima crisscrosses Youyan, sweeps the grassland, and should be a smart person, but the general may not see my cleverness, within ten days, I will let the general bow down to my horse!" ”

"Huangkou child, rampant and rude!"

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were red, and his calm complexion burst with a touch of coldness.

"Then we'll see!"

Mu Jing turned around and entered the military formation behind, and the thick shield once again covered the entire Jingping army, like an iron wall.

"Hehe, I'll see what tricks you have in your Mulong Diagram, and you are so wildly talking!"

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly and returned to Ma Qingzhou's army.

"Captain Kongdu!"

"In!"

Kong Xu was quietly on standby.

"Retreat five miles, echo the front and back of the county, don't fight alone!" Gongsun Chan said.

Mu Jing's self-confidence still made him cautious, the distance of ten miles is a little unfavorable for the connection between the soldiers and horses in the city and the soldiers and horses on the front line, and if he retreats five miles, he can be completely connected.

……

At night, in the starry sky, the stars are dotted, and a bright moon is reflected.

The Jingping army camped on the spot, the camp was very simple, there were not many trees nearby, but there was a bamboo forest, they could only cut down some bamboo from the nearest bamboo forest to build a temporary camp.

The camp had little defense, but it barely allowed the soldiers to rest.

in the main ledger.

Mu Jing paced back and forth, looked at the marching map under the light of the oil lamp, and said in a low voice: "Underestimate Gongsun Zhan, this person reacted quickly, we crossed the river to the south and entered the sour date, less than an hour, he actually pushed the soldiers and horses ten miles away to defend us, completely let us lose the opportunity to sneak attack!" ”

This time I really responded to a sentence, the idea is very happy, and the reality is very skinny.

Although the crossing of the river was very smooth, but just entering the sour jujube alarmed Gongsun Chan in the county of sour jujube, if it is according to the reaction of ordinary people, an hour of time, has not been able to gather soldiers and horses, but Gongsun Chan is Gongsun Chan after all, their reaction is faster than ordinary people.

The most important thing is that he pushed out a team of soldiers and horses as soon as possible and pushed them directly in front of him, this must not be the descendants of the Youzhou army, it is more likely to be cannon fodder, let them fight it, and it is not if they don't fight, thinking about it, they completely lost the opportunity to surprise attack.

"Shizi, Gongsun Bogui can be famous in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed in Youzhou, it is by no means an ordinary person, even if it was in Bingzhou in the past, I have heard that the name of the white horse is righteous!" Zhang Liao said with a wry smile: "This general is definitely a veteran of the battlefield, and it is difficult to pick up a bargain from him!" ”

"Then we'll have to fight head-on!"

Mu Jing said helplessly.

"Ke Shizi, our current strength is now a little weak for the tens of thousands of troops in sour jujubes, and if we force it to fight, we will suffer a lot!" Fourth Battalion Captain Mo Bao said.

He was implicit.

It's not weak, but it's very weak, although the Jingping army is a strong army, but the Youzhou army has been fighting in the border defense for many years, fighting with the nomads, and the combat effectiveness is never lower than that of the Jingping army, and the soldiers and horses of the Youzhou army alone are above them.

"Facing head-on doesn't mean it's tough!" Mu Jing squinted, his eyes sparkled, his thoughts began to turn, and he suddenly said, "Wen Yuan, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

"Shizi, since we are fighting head-on, we have only one way, delay!" Zhang Liao knew that Mu Jing was assessing his own ability, and it was inevitable that Chen would come out, so who would be the next one in Jingpingjun's first place, the biggest possibility was himself, even if he was loyal to Jingping, but this did not prevent him from feeling the weight of Mu Jing.

He thought about it, without any reservations, and said his thoughts very directly: "In the afternoon, the prince took the initiative to contact Gongsun Chan's temptation, and the confidence in his words must have made Gongsun Chan feel the danger, Gongsun Chan is a battle-experienced general, the more so, the more cautious he is, so in the next time, we must be more arrogant and take the initiative to attack, but it will make Gongsun Chan feel his head!" ”

"And then?" Mu Jing asked.

"We have reinforcements, the key to this battle, we have already pressed on top of the Hun cavalry, so what we have to do is to create a battlefield where the cavalry can cover all their attacking sides!"

The more Zhang Liao said, the more serious he became, he fell into it, and directly substituted himself into the role of a coach: "Gongsun Chan has a white horse under his command, this is where his background lies, if you want to force him to pull the white horse out of the group, we have to give them an illusion that they can eat us, so while dragging them, it is appropriate to show weakness." ”

"Then which place do you think is the most suitable place for the battlefield?"

"Sour jujube northeast, twelve miles away!"

Zhang Liao pointed to the topographic map: "Here the three official roads converge again, but they can be strangled on three sides, this is still a spacious plain, suitable for cavalry charges, as long as we automatically enter here, it will inevitably lead out their cavalry, and on the official road in the north, the Hun cavalry can be prepared, once covered, they will not escape!" ”

"Bang Bang !!"

Mu Jing clapped his palms and praised with a smile: "Okay, that's a good point, you think very carefully before and after, create a battlefield for us, and follow the other party's thoughts, this side is the thinking of a main general, Wen Yuan, you are very good!" ”

As long as Zhang Liao grows up, his future is immeasurable, and it is not impossible to surpass even the historical record.

In history, Zhang Liao followed the wrong lord and did nothing for more than ten years, until he met Cao Cao, and he began to show his edge.

And now, he is enough to grow up in advance.

"The prince of the world is overrated, it's just some thoughts, whether it can be implemented on the battlefield is still unknown, and there are too many variables on the battlefield, we can think of it, I'm afraid they can guess!"

Zhang Liao said modestly.

"If you don't try it, how do you know!" Mu Jing ordered: "Pass my Jingping military order, from now on, the officers and soldiers of the Jingping army, from my Mujing, all the soldiers above and below, began to obey Zhang Liao's military orders, but anyone who violates the military order will be killed!" ”

"The son of the world is not allowed!"

"The ...... of the Prince"

The generals in the tent spoke one after another, and some were in opposition.

"Humph!" Mu Jing snorted coldly, and suddenly fell silent, he was young and young, but the majesty of Jingping Camp could not be violated.

"Shizi, a certain ......" Zhang Liao wanted to shirk it.

"Zhang Wenyuan, I will tell you a truth now, modesty is a virtue, but in the barracks, there is never the word modesty, you can do it, you will go, if you can't, you will retreat, this is war, ability is life, if you want more people to live, you need a qualified commander!" Mu Jing's eyes stared at Zhang Liao like a torch, and asked coldly: "You tell me now, can you do it, or can't?" ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said.

In this case, he dared to take half a step back, and he didn't want to straighten his spine and be a man in this life.

"If you dare to say it, I will dare to believe you!" Mu Jingdao: "From now on, the Jingping army will be at your disposal, including me, and I will obey your military orders!" ”

"The trust of the prince, Liao dare not live up to it, if this battle is not won, Liao should come to see him!"

Zhang Liao issued a military order.

The military orders have been established, and the two main battalions of the Jingping Army, the captain of the third battalion, Xie Yu, and the captain of the fourth battalion, Mo Bao, have nothing to say at this moment, so they can only pinch their noses and listen to Zhang Liao's military orders.

Next, Zhang Liao began to arrange the task, in fact, the specific tactics of this battle, he has deduced many times in his heart, so he said it so smoothly, and now that he has won the position of the general, it is more justifiable to assign the task: "Xie Yu obeys orders!" ”

"In!" Xie Yu was reluctant.

"Tonight, I order you to lead the third battalion to attack the enemy camp under the city at night!" Zhang Liao entered the role of the chief general as if he did not need rehearsal, this is a natural commanding force, and the voice of the task is unquestionable: "Remember, you only have half an hour, no matter the result, within half an hour, attack and retreat, delay for a quarter of an hour, and deal with it by military law!" ”

"Only my battalion attacked at night?" Xie Yu questioned, he was very suspicious of whether Zhang Liao was a personal vendetta and let his third battalion go to death, you must know that in the army, there is some disagreement between him and Zhang Liao, the third battalion has the most soldiers who are subject to military law, and it is Zhang Liao who is in charge of the military justice department, and this Liang Zi has a lot of knots.

"Yes!"

Zhang Liao said indifferently.

Xie Yu looked at Zhang Liao, looking at Mu Jing who was indifferent next to him, as if he didn't care about everything, he was in a dilemma, and finally his trust in Mu Jing overcame his doubts about Zhang Liao, and he gave up his orders: "Obey!" ”

"Mo Bao, you lead the troops to respond!" Zhang Liao continued: "If the enemy dares to chase them out, you will snipe them!" ”

"No!"

Mo Bao received the order very quickly, anyway, he was not the main attack, and he would not damage the main force, since Mu Jing handed over the main flag to Zhang Liao, he could only pinch his nose and obey the military order.

……

The night is getting darker and thicker.

"Stepping on the !!"

Outside the Qingzhou military camp, footsteps sounded repeatedly.

"Kill!"

Xie Yu gave an order, took the lead and entered the barracks.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The 3,000 men of the 3rd Battalion rushed in like a hurricane.

"You really dare to come to the night attack!" Kong Xu's battle armor was not removed, holding a war spear in his hand, standing on the camp tower, looking at the entire battlefield, and coldly ordered: "Order the first battalion and the second battalion to attack!" ”

"Qingzhou Erlang, attack!"

"Qingzhou Erlang, attack!"

In the camp tents, the Qingzhou soldiers came out.

"Traps? Fortunately, it didn't go deeper, sons, the Great Circle Army Formation, close to Yuanmen, supported for half an hour! ”

Xie Yu said with a long roar, since it was a task, he regarded it as a task, relying on the gate, did not go deep into the camp, advanced and retreated freely, as long as he supported for half an hour, he would withdraw his troops.

Half an hour was fast, and the third battalion departed.

"That's it?"

Kong Xu was a little surprised, this looked like a farce.

"Lord Lieutenant, do you want to pursue?"

"No!"

When Kong Xu heard this, he shook his head, there were not many enemy troops who came in, and they didn't go deep, it looked more like luring them to attack, so he said very cautiously: "Beware of deception, don't pursue, all battalions are on guard, be careful that they kill a horse gun!" ”

"No!"

The generals of the battalions of the Qingzhou Army surrendered their orders.
