The eldest son Gao Jiayi quickly changed the object of surrender and persuaded his father to surrender to Liu De, otherwise, with the sharpness of Liu De's soldiers, Yang Zichuan and Guo Zidong were defeated by Liu De successively, how could the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Gao family resist!

If Liu De is angry with the resistance of the Gao family, won't he bury the entire clan, but if he surrenders, Liu De will definitely be overjoyed and treat the Gao family well, in this way, the Gao family is still the first family in Daicheng, rich and noble for a hundred years.

The third son, Gao Jiaang, looked down on Gao Jiayi in every way, thinking that Gao Jiayi was defeated before the battle, fell into the name of the Gao family, and hit the morale of the Gao family, and was a coward who was not worthy of the surname Gao.

And advised the elders of the clan and their own fathers, how could they let go of the Gao family with Liu De's treatment of the Liaocheng family?

Maybe it's just that at the beginning, Corporal Lixian treated him more generously, and when he began to liquidate the Gao family later, the miserable situation of the Liaocheng family was placed in front of the Gao family!

Gao Jiaang's impassioned and theoretical theories quickly overwhelmed Gao Jiayi's suggestion, and the head of the Gao family and the elders of the clan were unwilling to let go of the power in their hands and then let others slaughter them, so they decided to follow the advice of Guo Zidong's envoy and send the children of the Gao family to attack Liu De's territory, attacking from both sides, so that Liu De could not take care of each other.

What's more, Liu Pi's subordinate stationed in Xuansu is only 3,000 people, although the Gao family is not in order and morale is low, but there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 to attack 3,000, and to take the important city of Xuansuo, in the eyes of the elders of the Gao family, it is as easy as finding and taking things, and it is effortless.

There is also the city wall of Xuansu, which is low, in disrepair, and even more vulnerable.

And the sturdy young man who broke into the courtyard gate was Gao Jiang's son Gao Bo, who had been managing the Gao family's fleet in a county town near the sea, and now heard that Guo Zidong's envoy was coming, so he rushed back to Daicheng and wanted to lead the troops to the battle.

"My son has this intention, and I am very happy for my father, but the matter of going on the expedition is a big matter, and your grandfather and the elders of the clan are discussing!"

Gao Jiayi said to Gao Bo, "In this way, you come in with me to audit!" ”

"Great!" Gao Bo responded excitedly and followed Gao Jiayi into the house.

The room was filled with the smell of herbs, which was very unpleasant, and Gao Bo frowned and covered his nose.

The head of the Gao family was lying on the couch, his face was withered, dying, as if his life was imminent, which was also the main reason for the infighting between the two brothers, and the old family head could no longer suppress his two sons, especially the more ambitious Gao Jiaang.

Gao Jiang glanced at a middle-aged man at the front, with a hint of mockery on his face, seeing that the man was about to get angry, then he withdrew his gaze and said to the old man lying on the bed: "Father, Bo'er is back!" ”

The old man opened his cloudy eyes and said happily: "Bo'er is back?" Boy, come forward! ”

"Grandson greets grandfather, may grandfather be in good health!" Gao Bo bowed his head and kowtowed.

"Good! All right! ”

The old man took Gao Bo's hand and was very kind, "It was your father who called you back!" How's going on at the shipyard? ”

Gao Bo said: "Please rest assured that my grandson at the shipyard arranged it in an orderly manner and did not miss the slightest, so I rushed back." But it's not the father who asked the grandson to come back, but the grandson himself wants to come back... The grandson heard that Liu De was cruel and unkind, and the reason was intolerable, the grandson learned martial arts and the art of war since he was a child, and now it is the time to contribute to the Gao family, and he also asked his grandfather to allow his grandson to lead the army to go out and take the Xuansu for his grandfather! ”

"My grandson has this ambition, and my heart is very happy! What do you think? ”

The old man asked the clan elders sitting around!

"Bo'er is talented and martial, he is the first young talent of the Gao family, and my brother thinks that Bo'er can lead the troops to the battle!"

The younger brother of the old family owner, who is also an elder of the clan, spoke.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The old man also seconded it!"

Others talked to each other and agreed.

Only Gao Jiayi was silent.

Gao Jiaang skimmed Gao Jiayi, and said sarcastically: "I said brother, don't you usually boast of being resourceful? Why don't you say a word now? ”

Gao Jiayi's face turned pale, and he pointed at Gao Jiaang's nose and scolded: "Third child, you are putting the Gao family in danger, and the glory of the Gao family for decades will be lost in your hands!" ”

"Shut up!"

The old family owner scolded, Gao Jiayi was not scolding Gao Jiang, but scolding him again!

How can the old master not be angry!

"Boss! What do you mean by that? Could it be that the third child is wrong to contribute to the Gao family? Even Bo'er is willing to lead troops to the battle, look at you again, cowardly, you are really not a son of man! ”

Gao Jiayi heard his father's reproach, completely panicked, his head was close to the ground, his body fell to the ground, and his voice trembled: "Father, the child is wrong, please forgive my father!" ”

"You go back to your room, you are not allowed to come out without the old man's order, think about what you are doing wrong!" The old master felt a little tired, and waved his hand to signal Gao Jiayi to get out of here.

"Yes!"

Gao Jiayi wiped away tears and exited the door.

Gao Jiaang looked at Gao Jiayi's lonely figure, and his eyes were full of pride.

"The third child!"

Gao Jiang heard the old master's call, so he quickly put away his smug expression, came to the old master's bedside, and bowed his hand: "Father, what do you command?" ”

The old master said: "I am old, all the soldiers and horses in this generation of the city will be handed over to you, and when you take down Xuansu and defeat Liu De, you will be the master of the Gao family!" ”

Gao Jiang's eyes widened instantly, and his whole body was as happy and comfortable as drinking a sip of cold water on a hot day.

The daughter-in-law of many years finally became a mother-in-law!

This generation of cities is mine!

This Yanzhou will also be mine!

I am the real lord of Yanzhou!

Liu De's son of a little veteran, how can he de! How can he !!

"Father, don't worry, Liu De, I don't care about it yet! You wait for me to return from a great victory! Gao Jiang patted his chest and swore solemnly.

"With my son here, the old man will be relieved!"

Gao Bo also got up and said, "Grandfather, please rest assured, with me helping my father, there will be no problem!" ”

......

Dai Zong relied on the magic technique to come to Xuansu early. Later, some of his subordinates also arrived in Xuansu in batches.

A few days later, Qin Qiong, who received the order, also arrived at Xuansu by sitting down and riding quickly, but he did not bring troops over, but came alone, if he led the troops, I am afraid that he would not be able to come for a while.

Liu Bi personally led his subordinates to repair the city, while Dai Zong took on the job of scouting when he was by Liu De's side first.

On this day, Dai Zong returned to the city and went straight to the city to find Liu Bi.

"Commander Dai!"

Liu Bi handed a bowl of water to Dai Zong, and although Dai Zong's official position was not obvious, his quán bǐng was not small, so Liu Bi was also happy to befriend Dai Zong.

Dai Zong took the water and drank it up, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Pi: "General Liu, the Gao family has raised troops!" About 50,000 horses, of which 30,000 were in armor and 20,000 were young and strong! According to the speed of its march, it will take about three or four days to reach the foot of Xuansu City! ”

"How's it looking?" Liu Pi asked.

"It's a mess, I haven't seen such a bad army, I really overestimate his Gao family!" Dai Zong complained.

Liu Pi swung his fist, the beard under his chin trembled, and said excitedly: "Then we might as well ambush a wave halfway and frustrate the enemy's spirit!" ”

"That's exactly what I mean!" Dai Zong also chimed in.

Liu Bi nodded, beckoned to the guards, and said, "Go and call Captain Qin and Captain Yao over to discuss military affairs!" ”

When Qin Qiong and Yao Jun came over, the four of them made a plan directly in the city, and Liu Bi told Qin Qiong and the others the information just now.

Qin Qiong's heart had already been holding back a fire, although he had quelled a lot of rebellions in the county before, but in Qin Qiong's eyes, it was not a great merit at all, he had always regarded chasing Guan Yu as the first priority.

But now Guan Yu is faintly the first general under Liu De, and there is still a small half of the grassland in Yanzhou, and he is still unknown.

Qin Qiong's skills are not bad, but she lacks a chance to prove herself, and this is a very good opportunity.

Qin Qiong also agreed, and even more radically, and said to the three people: "If we can directly defeat these 50,000 horses, wouldn't it be even more wonderful!" ”

Liu Pi and the three of them were also made enthusiastic by Qin Qiong's words, indeed, if they could defeat or even eliminate these 50,000 horses, wouldn't it be a great achievement!

Meritorious achievements and sprouting children and grandchildren were originally what they were looking forward to.

Dai Zong said: "Captain Qin, although this makes Zai Xia very excited, but we only have 3,000 people, of which 2,000 are newly recruited soldiers, although I look down on the enemy's soldiers, but our soldiers are not elite, ambush, frustrate the morale of the enemy, or defend the city and wait for the lord's army, this is easy to say, but if you want to defeat the enemy army of 50,000 horses, is it a little too difficult!" ”

"The lord once said, strategically despise the enemy, tactically attach importance to the enemy, but we don't know anything about the character of the enemy's leading generals, so we can only arrange tactics step by step, our only advantage can only be regarded as the enemy's light and my secret, if the enemy will be cautious, we are not easy to ambush!" Qin Qiong analyzed.

"What Captain Qin said is indeed reasonable, Commander Dai makes you see that the enemy can march cautiously?" Liu Bi also asked.

Dai Zong thought for a while and said, "Looking at its march, it is indeed quite cautious!" ”

"Looks like we're going to have to plan it out!" Qin Qiong said.

......

"General! The soldiers are complaining and tired, so it is better to rest! An adjutant general told Gao Jiaang.

"What a bunch of rubbish, how many miles have you traveled along the way!" Gao Jiang waved the horsewhip in his hand.

Gao Jiaang is also quite annoyed, Daicheng has been peaceful for a long time, located by the sea, and not like Dongyu and other places are cold and cold, relying on fishery, making a lot of money.

The old family owner was obsessed with literary affairs, dancing with a group of scribes all day long, without the slightest sense of initiative, and he didn't care much about the military, which also caused the military weakness and lax armament of Daicheng.

Guo Zidong didn't take the Gao family in his eyes, if it wasn't for Liu De's too big threat, Guo Zidong would have wanted to send a general to directly recover the Gao family, where would they need to be divided into two factions?

Now there is no opportunity to train soldiers and organize armaments, Gao Jiang can only lead the troops to the battle, although he is arrogant, but he is not a fool, fortunately he found out the information earlier, Xuansu only has 3,000 people, and they are all newly recruited young and strong, and the general who guards the city is also not famous Liu Pi, I heard that this person was a thief before, Gao Jiang was quite disdainful, how much ability can a thief have, Liu De Xiaoer actually sent a thief to resist the Gao family, it is really not in the eyes of the Gao family.

Therefore, Gao Jiang is still quite confident in capturing Xuansu.

"Father!"

Gao Bo rode a horse from the rear army, and Gao Jia ordered Gao Bo to lead the rear army and escort grain and grass.

"Bo'er, what's wrong?" Gao Jiaang asked.

Gao Bo bowed his hand and said: "Father, now our army is only three days away from Xuansu, maybe the enemy army has discovered our army, let's send more scouts, be careful of the enemy ambush!" ”

Gao Jiaang nodded and agreed: "Wu'er is worthy of being a person who has read military books, and what he said is reasonable!" There's nothing wrong with being careful! ”

"Gao Shan, you lead the scouts to explore the way!"

Gao Jiaang ordered a member of the general.

"The last general commands!"

A lieutenant general who came out from behind Gao Jiang answered.

......

And the army led by Liu De still has about seven days to arrive in Xuansu.

"Lord!"

An orderly soldier hurriedly came, turned over and dismounted, and handed a piece of information to Liu De.

Liu De glanced at it and said to Liu Gui and Gongsun: "Chen Qi's recital, saying that Tian Ape has descended!" ”

Liu Guidao: "As soon as Guo Zidong died, Mrs. Ma surrendered to the city, and her daughter married to the lord, Tian Ape has no need to insist!" ”

"The Gao family should not know that Guo Zidong is dead now, and Mrs. Ma surrendered, if this news is passed on, it will inevitably break the morale of the Gao family and destroy their fighting spirit! We can win without a fight! Xu Shu suggested on the side.

Liu De nodded and said: "Military advisor, what you said is very polite, but this general thinks that we will fight a battle first, beat the Gao family honestly, and then talk about persuading us to surrender, otherwise it will be detrimental to our governance by virtue of the Gao family's status in Daicheng." ”

"The lord is wise! I can't wait! ”

The three of them praised.

"You guys!" Liu De scolded with a smile, but it was really comfortable to listen to his subordinates patting his ass, whether it was a faint gentleman or a bright gentleman, he actually ate quite a set.

But just listen to these words, you must not indulge in the sugar-coated cannonballs of praise, it will be corrupt and degenerate, especially when you are old, how many wise kings in the early stage have become extremely muddy, cruel and unkind, and unprotected in old age, this may be one of the reasons!

Liu De ordered: "Xuansu only has 3,000 men and horses under Liu Pi, and there are too few soldiers and horses, General Gongsun, you lead the cavalry first and support Liu Pi!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Gongsun replied.

"The rest of the soldiers are also speeding up and striving to reach Xuansu as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

......

"Report !!"

An order soldier galloped forward, "General Qiyu, twenty miles ahead of the enemy army is found in formation, look at its Daxu, it should be Liu Pi, the guard general of Xuansu County!" There are only a few thousand! ”

Gao Jiayi listened, and was immediately overjoyed, and said to the left and right: "If the enemy army is in the city, I am afraid that this general will have to work hard, but I didn't expect the enemy army to line up to meet the enemy, the bandit is a bandit, it is really arrogant, see this general take his dog's head, to strengthen the army!" ”
