Gongsun Chan originally wanted to pursue the Seventh Captain's Army, but unfortunately, when passing through Yushui.

Lu Su's sailor warship crossed the river, destroying all the pontoon bridges he had built earlier.

And Lu Su also ran ashore and attacked Gongsun Zhan's foot soldiers.

It made Gongsun Chan extremely annoyed.

Gongsun Zhan then led the cavalry north and then made a big bend, crossed the river from Changli City, and then went south through Bintu City to Tuhe City.

It's just that when they arrived at Tuhe City, Tuhe City was taken by the Seventh Captain's Army and Lu Su and others.

The Xiaoling River was also blocked.

When he came to Tuhe City, Gongsun Zhan rode alone to the city and shouted: "Huang Zhong, your department is the most elite cavalry of the Northern Route Army, and you dare to go out of the city to compete with me." ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "Gongsun Bogui, you are not my opponent, you can go!" ”

"You! Huang Zhong is you don't dare, you are afraid of losing, I will give you a chance, we are eight thousand against eight thousand, I will not bully you! "Gongsun Zhan's competitive heart is here, and his belligerent heart is here, so he will leave.

However, Huang Zhong still shook his head and said: "Although Gongsun Bogui has 20,000 people in your department, but I can defeat you with 8,000, I don't want to fight you now, you go back to disaster relief, my lord said that he will give you a chance, your white horse Yicong is not easy to train, it is a pity to die in the hands of our army, he hopes that your white horse Yicong can always fight the foreign barbarians, instead of wasting it in meaningless internal friction." ”

"Hmph, the White Horse Yizhong is mine, I don't need you to teach me to be a man, Huang Zhong, I'm asking if you dare to go out of the city once." Gongsun Chan said with some annoyance.

Xu Ding reprimanded him, forget it, Huang Zhong, what are you.

Huang Zhong sneered: "Gongsun Bogui, if I go out of the city, you will be wiped out, if you want to fight with me, wait here for two days, and you don't have to go back to Youzhou." ”

"Humph! Gutsless! Gongsun Zhan turned his head and left, Huang Zhong couldn't get out of the city, and he waited for two days and made a fart.

Two days later, the 3rd and 10th Captains should have arrived.

and the Guiyi army, which is a mixture of Han and Wu, is estimated to have also gathered from the north.

Your four main legions want to surround me, so I'm not stupid.

"Hehe, General Huang's words are lifting." Lu Su gave a thumbs up and smiled.

The other generals laughed too.

Looking at Gongsun Zhan, who had returned to Youzhou from the grassland to the north under the city, Huang Zhong said: "Isn't what I'm telling the truth? Gongsun Zhan is a blind eye, the lord really wants to leave a way for him to survive, otherwise I can't hit his white horse righteous people hard even if my seventh lieutenant is seriously injured?

If the Guiyi army goes south, won't he be able to keep his head? ”

Everyone nodded, no way, there are too many restrictions given by Xu Ding, otherwise where is there such a person as Gongsun Zhan now.

It's just that they also understand that Xu Ding wants to retain a little more of the vitality of my Han family, so as not to kill too much and waste the national strength and people's strength.

The generals who have seen the world map know that their goal is never domestic, but far away.

This world is very big, this world is very wide, and there are many lands they want to conquer.

The enemy outside is fierce and strong.

Now everyone is worried that they don't know if they can follow Xu Ding to really finish the whole world in their lifetime.

Gongsun Zhan all withdrew, entered the grassland from the northeast of Liaoxi County, and then made a detour back to Youzhou.

He knew that Huang Zhong was telling the truth, and if Xu Ding gave a death order, he should not be able to withdraw from the eastern part of Liaoxi and the vassal states of Liaodong so intact.

It's just that he couldn't understand why Xu Ding did this.

He knew that Xu Ding had actually shown mercy to him many times, and had never killed him.

Xu Ding's this is too moral.

However, when he returned to Jixian County from Juyong Pass, he seemed to understand something.

There were two newspapers in his hand, one was a promised plan for the control of locusts, 50 ways to eat locusts, and a newspaper that purchased locusts and was willing to provide food aid to the affected states and counties.

"How much food do we have, and how many people can we help?" Gongsun Chan asked.

Don't drive back: "My lord, we don't have much food in stock, and in addition, we have lost a lot of military food due to the failure of this attack on Liao, and I am afraid that we will not be able to help the people for the time being." ”

Gongsun Chan sighed and said, "Forget it, contact Xu Ding's people and ask them for assistance." ”

Don't hesitate for a moment and said: "My lord, but the people of Weihaihou said that the aid grain must be distributed to the people by them on their own, and it is not the same to exchange locusts for locusts, and we can't insert them!" ”

This is a disguised way to gain prestige and gain favor.

Weihai Hou had a good calculation, so Don't agree all the time, waiting for Gongsun Zhan to come back and report it.

Gongsun Zhan raised his eyebrows, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I can't care so much, disaster relief is important, agree to Xu Ding's request, let his people enter the country, and let them distribute relief food."

Anyway, Xu Ding's reputation in Youzhou is better than mine, not much more of it, less of it. ”

"Ugh! It's the lord! Don't drive a wry smile inexplicably, and then go down.

Gongsun Chan picked up another newspaper that he had read and read it again.

Especially the picture in the newspaper.

The abridged version of the world map held Gongsun Chan's mind firmly and opened another window for him.

It also made him understand Xu Ding a little more, and even made him understand the gap between the two and the degree of strength contrast between the two.

………………

"Humph! Nonsense, it must be nonsense, how can the world be so big, how can the world be like this.

I don't believe how he could have such a large territory. "Yuan Shu was successfully deceived by the sixth lieutenant to return to Ruyang, and he was already teased.

was about to lead the tired army to the Huanhe River to rescue Yuan Lian, but was stopped by his two strategists Yan Xiang and Yang Hong.

At the same time, the latest newspapers are handed over.

After reading this newspaper, Yuan Shu was even more stimulated, and directly threw the newspaper on the ground and stepped on it a few times, with an angry look on his face.

"According to our speculation, this is only a conservative territorial jurisdiction, and he should have concealed many islands and lands east of the sea, and even the South China Sea has been reduced by him, and his actual blind land should be at least one or two more states, but it may be because of the lack of population, so he didn't draw it." Yan Xiang is more upright and dares to directly scold Yuan Shu, so even if Yuan Shu is in a bad mood now, he still tells the truth about his opinion.

Yuan Shu was as uncomfortable as eating a fly, and he wanted to say something and was stuck in his neck again.

Don't be so painful in your heart.

So he had to sit back in his original position, and snorted coldly: "Even if he has such a large territory, what is the use of a wild land." ”

Jiaozhou Dabar, in the south of the Han Dynasty, the mountains are full of uncivilized barbarians, what's the use.

Offset the Central Plains, who will take them to play?

Only by fighting for the Central Plains can he be the king, and only then can he sit on the four seas.

Only with the support of the world's families can we truly be invincible.

The land of barbarians is only a number, and it is okay to brag about it, but it is not a real number.
