In the past few months, Gongsun Chan has done nothing and has been running around on the road.

At the beginning, he was still very excited when he first received the edict, the imperial court actually chose him to go to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and the opportunity he had been waiting for to make contributions finally came.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, he didn't get any decent credit, even Shouzhuo County was also the credit of Liu Bei. relied on sweeping the yellow turban of Zhuo County.

He barely managed to become a Beiping Taishou, and he didn't even have a title. And Zhang Hao, who is a junior, actually rose to the top, and worshiped the general and was knighted, which was several levels higher than him.

This made Gongsun Chan jealous and hateful, and took advantage of this opportunity to go to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, he planned to show his skills and make great achievements to really get ahead.

But unexpectedly, he was about to arrive in Chang'an, and another edict came to transfer him back to Youzhou to fight.

It turned out that the two bastards Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, and the imperial court was temporarily unable to send troops, so they had to let themselves return to Youzhou. There was no way, since it was an order from the imperial court, Gongsun Chan had no choice but to comply.

Months of going back and forth not only wasted a lot of time, but also did not achieve any results. Gongsun Chan has accumulated anger all the way, and he is about to reach the peak of the outburst.

Due to the emptiness of the strength of the entire Youzhou, coupled with the help of 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry, after Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, their strength expanded rapidly.

First, the whole county of Yuyang County fell, and then it was Beiping County. Because Pingzhou was ceded to Qiu Liju, the rebels did not cross the Shanhaiguan Pass and entered the territory of Changli County.

After the original Liaoxi County was split, the newly established Beiping County took Feiru County as its residence. Zhang Ju called himself the "Son of Heaven", and after capturing Beiping County, he also chose Feiru as his "capital" and gathered more than 100,000 people.

Originally, they wanted to continue to expand to Guangyang County and Zhuo County, and then go south to Jizhou. As a result, Zhonglang led Meng Yi to the Han army and rushed to Jixian County, successfully blocking their desire to go south.

It's just that the Han army led by Meng Yi was mostly infantry, so that although he held on to Jixian County, the rebels had scruples and did not dare to let go directly south, but those Wuhuan cavalry came and went like the wind and were unscrupulous.

The 30,000 cavalry dispersed, bypassing Jixian and constantly plundering other weakly defended cities and villages. In the face of all this, Meng Yi had no countermeasure but to pray silently for the people and resign himself to fate.

Gongsun Zhan had just stepped into the territory of Youzhou, but he encountered a small group of Wuhuan cavalry looting, about 300 horsemen. People are constantly being chased and killed by them in the process of fleeing.

This scene made the anger in his heart suddenly detonated. "Kill all these animals for me!"

Gongsun Chan roared and rushed out in an instant, and the cavalry behind him immediately followed.

The emotions of the chief general will infect the soldiers under his command. These days, Gongsun Chan is holding his breath, and the whole person is extremely irritable. This made the hearts of his subordinates also full of resentment and emotion.

The three hundred Wuhuan cavalry naturally discovered the Han cavalry led by Gongsun Zhan, and knew that they were outnumbered, so they fled immediately. But soon they were all overtaken.

Although the 3,000 cavalry under Gongsun Zhan were also Wuhuan people, these people were all from the Wuhuan tribe in the Liaodong subject country and the Wuhuan tribe in the past few years, because they admired his bravery, and they took the initiative to run to him to be loyal to him.

This is also the master of each for himself. When these three thousand Wuhuan Yicong shot their fellow clansmen from behind, they were not relentless at all. Among them, the dozens of guards around Gongsun Chan are particularly skilled in riding and shooting, and there are no missing arrows, and one of them will fall off their horses and die if they loosen the bowstring.

Since these guards rode white horses like Gongsun Zhan, people gave them a title in the place where Gongsun Chan served successively, and they were specially called White Horse Righteous Servants.

There was no suspense, these three hundred Wuhuan cavalry all died under the arrows of the righteous servants.

Although they also fought back on their horses, they only shot and wounded a few hapless followers, and did not kill a single person. After all, this skill of archery is not something that no one has yet learned.

In this way, on the way to Jixian County, Gongsun Chan encountered several waves of small groups of Wuhuan cavalry, all of which were easily solved by him.

At the same time, the Wuhuan chieftains who invaded Youzhou all knew the news of the appearance of the Han cavalry, so they recalled the cavalry that were sweeping outside and regrouped the army.

……

In Jixian County, a middle-aged general personally went out of the city to greet Gongsun Zhan who arrived, he was Meng Yi.

When the two stood together outside the city, Meng Yi, who was slightly rickety, and Gongsun Zhan, who was tall, formed a stark contrast.

"General Gongsun, you are here, I have been waiting for you so hard." Meng Yi complained bitterly as soon as he came up.

"You don't know, wow, these days, the Wuhuan cavalry will pass under the city every time with looted things, and they will shoot arrows at the city, constantly provoking.

When I led my troops out of the city, they ran, and when I returned to the city, they followed. I have suffered great humiliation from the lack of cavalry, and I cannot engage them. But now that the general is here, everything has been fine since then. ”

Gongsun Chan bowed and said: "Thank you General Meng for your love, the last general will definitely do his best." ”

Back in the city, the two discussed the next battle plan in the newly built government mansion.

"General Meng, the last general has a problem." Gongsun Zhan asked Meng Yi, "You have been stationed in Jixian County for many days, but why didn't you find a single soldier of the rebels after the last man came here?" ”

"General Gongsun really doesn't hide it, I led the army to garrison here, and I only saw the cavalry looting everywhere every day, but I never came to attack the city once." Meng Yi said.

"The rebels have captured the two counties of Yuyang and Beiping, gathered 100,000 people, and far surpassed our army, why don't they take action anymore and only rely on looting every day?"

After thinking about it carefully, Meng Yi guessed: "If what I expected is good, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are just people who are content and happy with the status quo.

If Youzhou was empty before, and they still wanted to attack the city and plunder the land, then now that the imperial court has arrived, they will not want to forge ahead, and rely on looting to maintain the status quo. ”

Gongsun Chan said: "If this is the case, we are the only ones who will take the initiative. ”

"This is also a more troublesome place, not to mention that the rebels have Wuhuan cavalry to help, their own troops alone have 100,000. With our current strength alone, I'm afraid it's far from it. ”

Meng Yi sighed after speaking, and then froze, as if he remembered something, and suddenly became excited.

"General Gongsun, I just remembered the strength of the troops, and not long ago from the grain transportation team from Qingzhou, there was a news."

Gongsun Chan saw that his appearance had changed, and felt that this should be good news, so he asked with interest, "I wonder what news makes the general so happy?" ”

"Hehehe, that's right," Meng Yi said with a smile, "The people of the grain transportation team are all saying that there was a team that came by boat from Pingzhou before, and got off the boat in Donghai County and rushed to Luoyang. When the news spread when disembarking, the general Zhang Hao of Duliao defeated Wuhuan in Pingzhou, annihilated 700,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and killed the Khan Qiu Liju. ”

"What!" Gongsun Zhan was taken aback, and then suddenly burst out laughing, "All the Wuhuan tribes, the old, weak, women and children don't add up to so many people, where did they get 700,000 for Zhang Hao to kill, it's really ridiculous." ”

Meng Yi said: "This is indeed an exaggeration, people's words are terrifying, and after some things are passed on orally, they will completely change their appearance." The number is fake, but I believe this thing is true, and General Zhang should really have defeated Wu Huan.

In this case, the Wuhuan cavalry opposite us may soon be recalled, and it will be easy to defeat the unsupported rebels at that time. So these days, in addition to waiting for the general, I'm still waiting for the Wuhuan cavalry to leave. ”

Gongsun Chan obviously disagreed with this statement: "General, this is just a rumor, how can you hope that the rumor will become a reality?" ”

He would not believe this kind of thing in his heart no matter what, how could Zhang Hao, a hairy boy, make meritorious contributions again, if it was really the Wuhuan army that went south to Pingzhou, what could he resist.

Pingzhou's troops are weak, and it is already a blessing to be able to hold the city without losing it, and it is simply wishful thinking to defeat tens of thousands of cavalry.

"General Gongsun doesn't need to be excited, what if this is true, there is no good strategy now, it is better to wait and see what happens." Meng Yi said.

This is indeed a safe approach, with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry joining, it is no longer possible for the Wuhuan people to loot in peace and stability. And the rebels will not come to attack the city, so as long as you wait and see what happens, the enemy will definitely show its flaws.

"How can this be the case, the last general thinks that the rebels are doing nothing, then we should take the initiative to attack. The last general has an idea, and now the rebels are as fat as a soldier, although they have gathered 100,000 people, but they are all homeless, so there is nothing to worry about.

As long as the last general leads the cavalry under his command, from Jixian County to Anci County, Quanzhou County, Haiyang County, and finally to Feiru, day and night, surprise attack Feiru, will definitely be able to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

"But wouldn't it be too risky to go deep into this lonely army. Perhaps the imperial court has now ordered General Duliao to go south, and we just have to wait for ......"

Gongsun Zhan directly interrupted Meng Yi's words: "How can the general still believe this unrealistic rumor, if Wuhuan invades Pingzhou on a large scale, then Zhang Hao is powerless to resist at all, how can he win."

We are ordered by the Son of Heaven to ask the thieves to quell the rebellion, so naturally we must not delay in the slightest, and we need to fight a quick battle. If it drags on for a long time, it will not only waste money and food in vain, but also make the Son of Heaven dissatisfied. It can even make people with intentions more revolts! ”

Meng Yi was said to be scared by Gongsun Zhan, although he was the main general, but he was conservative by nature and didn't like to argue with others. When encountering a strong subordinate like Gongsun Zhan, he couldn't control it at all.

"Since Bergui insists, then do as you say." Meng Yi sighed, "But the lone soldier must be careful when he goes deep, and if he can't do anything, he will go back, and don't be rash." ”

Gongsun Chan clenched his fists and said, "The last general understands." ”

But he thought in his heart: You are also worthy of teaching me to do things like a bear, and it seems that you have never even fought a battle. Why is this man always in a high position, but I am always in a low position!

This time, I must achieve a big victory, a big victory that is even more brilliant than Zhang Hao in the rumors!
