"The Lord Donglai Army has not shown signs of attacking the city, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

Liupu, who joined the army, followed behind Gongsun Du, patrolling the city defense, looking at the expanding military camp under the city, with a little uneasiness in his doubts.

Gongsun Du was also uneasy, always feeling that something was wrong, suddenly he seemed to think of something, pointed to the Donglai army camp outside the city and said: "Is the camp of the Donglai army too large, this can almost accommodate thirty or forty thousand people, but their number does not seem to have increased much, so far we have not figured out who the general of the other party's army is?"

Gongsun Du's words made Liupu think of the news sent from Xiangping a few days ago, and he also came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Lord, we are afraid that we have been fooled, there may not be 10,000 Donglai troops outside the city, they have been creating a false impression to make us believe that they really want to attack Xuantu and firmly attract the main force that entangles us, and then they launched an attack from Lelang County, their real purpose is not to cut off the back road of our army, but to seize Liaodong." ”

As long as Liaodong County is taken, it is basically difficult for the little Xuantu to resist the army of Donglai.

At that time, Gongsun Du only had two options, either to take the main force to withdraw from Xuantu and go to Liaoxi to join Gongsun Zan to survive.

Either they were killed in Xuantu, and they were slowly surrounded in the county by the real main force of the Donglai army, and finally eliminated.

Although the strategy is not clever, it will give you death step by step, old and spicy and stable.

Han Qi said: "Since Tian Feng's main force is not outside the city, then we simply attack the camp and destroy this Donglai army, so that the war in Xuantu County will not be over, so that we can go back to help the eldest prince with peace of mind." ”

Gongsun Du shook his head with a wry smile: "If it was when the Donglai army first came, we could take advantage of its unstable foothold to attack, but at this time they strengthened the camp, and it was in the middle of the road, with the construction method of large camps and small camps, we need to break through their camps one by one, this price is too great." ”

In short, it is a sentence, whether to fight or not to fight.

Of course, Gongsun Du didn't say a word, although the number of this Donglai army is not large, but there are three thousand elite foot soldiers, the big long knife is waved, and all the people who impact the past will be cut into two pieces.

"What the lord is going to do now, you can't sit and wait." His subordinate general, Bei Yan, asked.

"Go back and think long-term." Gongsun Du stared at the Donglai army camp outside the city, his eyes shot a trace of essence, and then turned around and went back to the city.

The crowd followed, but before they could sit down, they saw someone hurrying in to report it.

"In the direction of the lord Xiangping, the news was sent urgently for eight hundred miles, and the messenger fainted after entering the city, this is the letter he brought." A sergeant came in and handed over the letter.

Gongsun Du's heart suddenly burst and he took the letter in person.

Eight hundred miles are urgent, and something big has happened in Xiangping.

After taking it apart and looking at it, Gongsun Du's face was gloomy all of a sudden, and then turned pale again, and his body was unstable and swayed from side to side.

A group of civil and military officers hurriedly got up and rushed over: "The lord ......"

"Hey! Good Tian Yuanhao, good calculation, good darkness Chen Cang, my Kang'er ......" Gongsun Du's right hand was loosened, the letter paper fell to the ground, and Gongsun Du's face showed sadness.

Liu Pu picked up the letter that fell on the ground and looked at it, and his face turned pale for a moment.

"The young master is dead in battle! The Donglai army crossed the Daliang River and crossed the heavy mountains, and attacked Xiangping by surprise, and Liaodong County lost its ......"

The lair was kicked off, and the young master was killed.

The news was like thunder, blasting in their ears and in their hearts.

"So what's next?"

Liaodong was lost, how to fight this battle, all the generals were confused, and they were also thinking about other things in their hearts.

If you want to recapture Xiangping or even the entire Liaodong from the hands of the Donglai Army, this is not very maneuverable.

Liupu said: "The lord should immediately retreat to Liaoyang to the west, and must not let the Donglai army occupy this place first and block the passage to the west of our army." ”

"Is it really inviolable?" Gongsun Du raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, his eldest son was dead, and the inheritance was taken away, how could he be willing. “

Liu Pu shook his head and said: "The lord attacked Xiangping by Xu Ding's disciple Fa Zheng, this son has a ghost talent, he captured Xiangping and directly exempted Liaodong County from taxes for two years, and quickly won the support of all walks of life in Liaodong, it is almost impossible for us to take it back." ”

I have to say that Donglai's move is really clever, and he directly pulled out all the bases of Gongsun Du.

It's just that taxes are exempted for two years, what will the Donglai Army rely on to survive in Liaodong in the future, no need to eat or drink, and rely on external support?

Can't you spend all the money you promised?

"Hahaha! Good! Tian Feng and Fa are just ruthless moves. Gongsun Du is also a generation of heroes in what he says, but he was sad for a short time, stood up straight, swept everyone's faces, and then said: "Retreat to the west, go to Liaoyang City first, it is really not good, you can only retreat to the subject country of Liaodong." ”

The generals took the order, and then made arrangements, and then Gongsun Du said to Liu Yuan: "You immediately set off to Gongsun Zan, now that I am losing Liaodong, Xu Ding will be able to attack him next, I think he should know what to do." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will set off." Liu Yuan immediately rode out of the city to Gongsun Zan.

The next day, Gongsun Du's army retreated all the way west along the Xiaoliao River, and soon the west Gaima City, Goguryeo City, and Hou City were successively collected by Xu Rong.

Gongsun Du retreated to Liaoyang City, at this time all the counties in Liaodong were taken by Tai Shici and others of the second school captain's army, in order to avoid being attacked by the two Donglai troops, Gongsun Du continued to retreat westward, and withdrew into the subject country of Liaodong with the army.

Xu Rong took Liaoyang City and controlled the east of the Great Liao River, so far the battle in Liaodong ended, and the Donglai army did not advance to the west, but stuck to the fortification and digested the results.

………………

When Xu Ding returned to Weiyuan Island, he saw Diao Chan's belly bulging with a warp, and this abrasive goblin was also pregnant, so after Xiao Liu scanned and confirmed Diao Chan's physical health, Xu Ding led the girls back to the mansion.

Xu Xia, Xu Hua, and Xu Wu knew that their father was back, and stretched out their chubby little tender hands, with a cute smile on their faces, and wanted to hug them.

Xu Ding hugged Xu and kept teasing the little girl, and the two boys seemed to be a little dissatisfied with their mouths, as if they were saying that Baba was eccentric.

"Yo! At such a young age, he knew how to play a temper, and he showed Lao Tzu's face. Xu Ding said with a fake face: "It's useless to play with your temper, whoever makes you two boys, Lao Tzu likes girls, you two are elder brothers, let your sister, dare not let Lao Tzu beat your fart. Share. ”

Xu Xia and Xu Hua seemed to understand, and one by one they rounded their eyes, their faces full of grievances, and then stretched out their hands to find their mother.

"Husband, the children are still young, you can't call them like this, how can they understand what you say."

Cai Yan and Bian Linglong both hugged their sons, and sure enough, the two little guys showed happy smiles on their faces, hugging their respective mothers.

"Hey! I don't understand, I don't understand, you see it, the performance of these two boys is clearly the use of soldiers and horses. Of course, Xu Ding also likes the two sons, but as a father, he naturally has to teach his son more strictly, and he has more requirements.

So it looks like I love my daughter a little more.

Everyone shook their heads and laughed, obviously they didn't agree with Xu Ding's statement, no matter how much the child made a fuss, this was a normal behavior.
