Chapter 287: Don't listen
Cao He and Xu You signed the armistice agreement, and Xu You also stood up with a smile, his task was completed.
The three parties were symbolic, shook hands, and then prepared to leave here, but before leaving, Cao Xuan suddenly looked at Xu Yu and said with interest: "Mr. Xu, I don't know who you learned from this method of treachery!" β
Xu You was also stunned for a moment when Cao Xuan asked him this, but he quickly showed a smile, waved his hand at Cao Xuan and said, "Cao Junshou, why are you so interested in this matter, and I observe that your treacherous methods seem to be the same as mine, and it seems to have something to do with that person!" β
Cao Xing just wants to say that what Xu Yu said is not nonsense? Cao Xing only wanted to know who the person who inherited this method to Xu You was, but Xu You responded to Cao Xuan with a smile: "Cao Junshou, it's not that I Xu You is not authentic, but that when the person taught me this method of treachery, just like I specially instructed, no matter who asks about him, I must not confide half a word, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!" β
This Xu You is also an old fox, after saying this, he left with a smile, and Cao Xuan looked at the background of Xu You's departure, shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and left, but as he walked, Fa Zheng next to Cao Xuan was a little anxious, and he couldn't help but ask Cao Xing.
"Lord, although this time it is the subordinates who are not doing their jobs well, but you don't need to grovel so much, why did you agree to Xu You and Xun You so easily, even if you don't agree, what can they do with you!"
Fa Zheng's face was quite anxious, when Cao Xuan signed the armistice agreement just now, he clearly saw that the armistice agreement was clearly written, Cao Xuan led the army to completely retreat to Yanmen County, and no longer set foot in Changshan County, but wanted Cao Xuan to completely withdraw from the army, Cao Xuan also put forward a condition, that is, Yuan Shao must completely retreat from the battlefield in the east, Cao Xuan seems to want to keep Gongsun Zhan, after all, he and Gongsun Chan are now allies.
Fa Zheng can see that the armistice agreement signed by Cao Xuan this time can be said to have no benefit for Cao Xing, Cao Xuan gave all the benefits to Gongsun Zhan, which is completely cutting meat to others, anyway, I can't figure it out, when Cao Xuan became so easy to speak.
And Cao Xing smiled nonchalantly, looked at Fa Zheng and said: "Filial piety, don't worry, in fact, you have performed very well this time, I don't blame you, the reason why I did this is also my own deployment, don't you say?" Nothing can be just scratched on the surface! β
Listening to Cao Xing's words, Fa Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but at this moment, he suddenly had an idea, as if he had thought of something, and Cao Xuan also showed him a meaningful smile.
At this moment, at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou, the atmosphere seems to be depressed, and everywhere is full of wolf smoke and gunpowder smoke.
Yuan Shaozuo owns the land of Jizhou, has strong strength, and has enough soldiers, but Gongsun Zan is also the overlord of the north, and he has been fighting with Karasuma all the year round, and he has developed a skill, so the war between the two sides is in full swing and cannot be separated.
On this day, Gongsun Chan put on his helmet and armor, and discussed the military with the generals in the big battle, Gongsun Chan stared at the paper map with burning eyes, and his fingers kept drawing on the map, which seemed to be the lieutenant general discussing how to fight the next battle.
But at this moment, a scout suddenly rushed in and said directly to Gongsun Zan and the others: "Report! I found that Yuan Shao's army had evacuated, and the time of evacuation should have been yesterday night, because all they had left today was some broken soldiers! β
"Good!" Hearing the news, Gongsun Chan slapped the table and applauded, and many of his generals also echoed it.
Of course, Gongsun Chan knows that now that Yuan Shao is willing to withdraw from the army, it must be Cao Xing who has made a force behind him to force Yuan Shao to withdraw from the army, Cao Xuan has signed a short-term armistice agreement with Yuan Shao, but it was signed by Cao Xuan and Yuan Shao, what does it have to do with him Gongsun Zhan?
This war not only made Gongsun Chan lose his soldiers, but also Gongsun Chan also discovered a very terrible fact, that is, Yuan Shao's power is too terrible, he was born after the fourth and third dukes, and their protΓ©gΓ©s of the fourth and third dukes are all over the world, it is said that the strategists in the hands of the original are also from their families, so Yuan Shao's name is very loud, and his reputation is very great, at least thousands of times stronger than his Gongsun Zhan.
Now Yuan Shao's power has also risen, although the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan did not completely distinguish the winner and loser, but it also made Gongsun Zan feel a deep crisis, Yuan Shao is too dangerous, how can others sleep soundly in the couch, not to mention that the territory of the two is already next to each other, so this is even more firm, Gongsun Chan's determination to defeat Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao was given a good opportunity today, he finally retreated, Gongsun Chan was naturally overjoyed, and he wanted to order the pursuit without saying a word, but at this moment, one of his scribes suddenly stood up: "Lord, slow down!" β
Gongsun Chan was stunned when he heard this, and followed the prestige to find that the person who spoke was none other than Guan Jing, one of his Gongsun Chan's advisers.
This Guan Jing was also born in Liaodong, has read books, has some resourcefulness, and can be regarded as Gongsun Zhan's military advisor. However, in the process of fighting Yuan Shao this time, Guan Jing's performance was mediocre and there was nothing outstanding.
"Shiqi, I don't know what is wrong with you!" Gongsun Chan asked.
And Guan Jing replied: "Lord, the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, now although this Yuan Shao is retreating, but his retreating team is so orderly, it is obvious that there is an ambush of cavalry in his rear, if you rush to pursue, it is very likely that you will be tricked!" β
Now is a good time, but this Guan Jing actually asked Gongsun Chan to explore the enemy's situation first, and then talk about the pursuit, although Gongsun Chan felt a little unhappy in his heart, after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, if he lets go of the opportunity to pursue this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance next time, if others Guan Jing said it is also reasonable, so Gongsun Chan still pressed, his impatient heart, nodded, and asked the scout to investigate again.
As a result, not long after, another scout came back and reported: "My lord, our people searched all the ten miles in a carpet search, and found that the soldiers used by Yuan Shao after the break were completely rows of infantry, and there was no ambush around, there, it was completely a plain!" β
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he had a feeling of excitement, isn't this Yuan Shaomo stupid? Didn't he know that Gongsun Chan had an ace division called Baima Yicong, in fact, if it was to put it simply, it was just a cavalry with quite strong combat effectiveness.
However, this Yuan Shao was still the queen of the infantry palace, wasn't that left for Gongsun Chan to kill, so when Gongsun Chan heard the news, the whole person was excited.
But at this moment, someone interrupted Gongsun Zan's rhythm, only to see Guan Jing come up again and ponder for a moment, and then said to Gongsun Zhan: "The lord is slow, Yuan Shao is actually the rear of the infantry palace, this is completely out of line with the common things in the army, there must be a demon when things go wrong, I think the lord must not pursue easily, you can send a cavalry to explore the bottom first!" β
However, as soon as Guan Jing said this, Gongsun Zhan's heart was completely annoyed, in this battle, this Guan Jing behaved mediocre, far worse than Yuan Shao's strategists, if it weren't for his Gongsun Zhan's strong fighting skills, it is estimated that he would have been defeated by Yuan Shao a long time ago, and people who have no credit dare to make irresponsible remarks here, Gongsun Zhan's heart must be unhappy, not to mention that this Guan Jing is just a strategist and has not been on any battlefield, so Gongsun Chan immediately decided that this Guan Jing was too careful.
So Gongsun Chan finally said with a smile: "Shiqi, you have worked hard recently, you can stay in this barracks, and I will personally lead the troops to pursue it!" β
Seeing that Gongsun Zan insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to his own advice at all, Guan Jing seemed to be a little anxious in his heart, he wanted to step forward and say two steps, but Gongsun Zan waved his hand and pushed it away directly, and then took the lieutenant general and went to the school to order cavalry horses, and then took the cavalry and killed it like a wind.
Gongsun Zhan's idea is very simple, Yuan Shao ran last night, but he came to the palace with some infantry, the infantry in the eyes of the cavalry, it doesn't matter at all, let alone Gongsun Zhan, the northern overlord, in Gongsun Zan's opinion, his so-called infantry, under the impact of his white horse righteousness, will collapse in an instant.
At that time, Gongsun Zan drove straight in, directly killed Yuan Shao's rear, and caught Yuan Shao off guard, so that even if he couldn't kill Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan would feel much more comfortable in his heart.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan took the lead in the charge, quickly whipped his horse, galloped all the way, and after almost an hour, Gongsun Chan chased to the place of the boundary bridge, and in this Gongsun Chan finally saw the soldiers of Yuan Shao in the back of the palace, and it was really a row of infantry, neatly and orderly arranged in front.
However, because of the reason for retreating, the backs of these infantrymen were completely given to Yuan Shao and others, Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw this, he shouted directly, and let his subordinate Bai Ma Yi cong open the formation and charge directly, he wanted to break through the blockade of these infantry at one time, chase directly behind Yuan Shao, and give Yuan Shao a fatal blow.
Under the order of Gongsun Zhan, Bai Ma Yi opened the formation from the unified line, only to see countless knights riding white horses and holding spears, and finally formed a horizontal row.
