At the turn of spring and summer, everything flourishes, in the west of the plain city, Sun Zhan, the prince of Bohai, is wearing all clothes, holding a horse whip, and is standing alone on the city gate tower looking at the big river in the distance in a daze.

The so-called desecration of the big river is the old road left by Wang Jing, a water conservancy expert from Lelang, after building the golden embankment and sorting out the Yellow River. And because it is thousands of miles long from Wei County to the Bohai Sea, and there are many floods in Hebei this year, it has naturally evolved into the largest seasonal river in Hebei.

In other words, the current long river has long lost the majestic posture of more than 100 years ago, and most of its babbling streams can be seen in winter, or even dry up and cut off, only with the turn of spring and summer when the rain gradually flourishes, will it gradually become abundant again.

And back to the present, it is the turn of spring and summer, the time when the water surface is gradually rising, and the river is exceptionally open, so in the afternoon, the sun is sparkling from the west, which can make Gongsun Chan 'see' the river from a distance of seven or eight miles.

It is worth mentioning that Yuan Shao's military camp is on the other side of the river...... One old desecration, one new river, and two Yellow rivers barely stopped Yuan Benchu's offensive.

"Fu Jun, is Fu Jun thinking about a way to break the enemy?"

Suddenly, someone came out from behind, alarming Gongsun Bogui, who was in the head of the city, and when he looked back, it was his henchman who had just arrived in the plains today, and the county Cheng Guan Jing, who had originally stayed in the Bohai Sea. In other words, Gongsun Zhan never obtained a general seal, and could only hold a Bohai Taishou seal to appoint subordinates, and Guan Shiqi was able to be a county prince and stay behind him, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Yes and no." Seeing that it was his most trusted subordinate, Gongsun Zhanfu turned back and looked at the west. "It's just that I sighed at the river and remembered some of the past of my youth."

"It seems that the prince of the house has made up his mind, otherwise it would not be so easy." Guan Jing immediately catered to the road. "It's just that I don't know what kind of past it is, I can make Fujun so intoxicated, I went upstairs this way, and Fujun didn't hear any movement?"

"It's not a good old thing to indulge in." Gongsun Chan didn't look back when he heard this, he just couldn't help laughing. "Shiqi knows, my mother came from a very low background...... Of course, it won't get to the point where Yuan Benchu's mother doesn't even have an explanation. ”

Guan Jing paced a few steps forward, but bowed his head and said nothing, after all, he really couldn't speak at this time.

"However, when I was a child, I was the oldest, the tallest, the most beautiful, and the loudest among my brothers of the same generation...... The elders of the clan, as well as my father, did not think so, especially my father, if he was not there, it would be fine, if he was there, not only would he not be proud, but he would be embarrassed, and he would be harsh on my mother when he returned. Gongsun Bogui's tone was flat, as if he was really talking about some juvenile fun. And my mother was always at a loss, she didn't understand anything, she always wanted me to be praised and praised, but at the same time, she kept being reprimanded, and after being reprimanded, she felt sorry for herself, and then she still wanted me to be praised...... In the end, it was my aunt who repeatedly failed to look at me, and often defended me after taking control of the financial power of the clan, and I remember once mocking my father in public, so that he could be more restrained, and then let my mother come out to do things and gain knowledge, so as to save the futile anger at home...... Do you know who my aunt is? ”

"Fu Jun laughed." Guan Jing shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"yes." Gongsun held on to the city tower and sighed slightly. "So far, who in the world doesn't know my aunt? But on that day, I was really grateful to my aunt...... If it weren't for her, I didn't know how much I had to suffer when I was a child and a teenager, and after tying my hair, I went to Yangle as a servant, and the place was five hundred miles away from Sene's house, and I was also taken care of by her, and for several years, I slept with my brother in her house. ”

Guan Jing's heart moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Later," Gongsun Chan straightened up, pinched his horsewhip, and looked at the river to the west, but his eyes gradually narrowed. "I came to work from time to time, and I was able to go to Luoyang to study with my two brothers, worship under Master Lu, and worship under Master Liu by coincidence...... I also met Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway, Fu Nanrong, and Liu Xuande. ”

"My subordinates know about these things." Guan Jing suddenly interjected. "I heard that at that time, Yuan Benchu actually had eyes and didn't know the real hero, relying on the high rank of the family, and there were many insults, which forced the three Fujun brothers to leave angrily. However, Yuan Benchu probably didn't expect that current affairs would change, and now the one who can compete with the Yuan family for the world is actually the Gongsun family, right? ”

"yes." Gongsun Bogui also sneered. "Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes...... If you count him, the self-proclaimed general of the chariot and cavalry, in fact, he is already the fifth and sixth people who have ascended to the ten thousand stone positions, and he is full of the surname Zhong in the world, and he certainly felt that I was not worthy of his gift more than ten years ago, but now he actually wants to fight for the world with a border county clan in Youzhou, which is ridiculous. ”

Guan Jing wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know what Shiqi is going to say." Gongsun Chan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and looked back directly at his juncheng. "You came from the Bohai Sea this time, don't you just think that the situation is not good, so you want to persuade me to throw down the plains, throw down the 20,000 or 30,000 foot soldiers and auxiliaries on the banks of the Yellow River, and directly lead 5,000 horsemen to return to the Bohai Sea?"

"Fujun." Guan Jing bowed his head. "It was the subordinates who made a mistake that day, and they should not have encouraged the prince to go south to the plains to fight for the glory of Qingji, because now it seems that compared with General Wei and Yuan Benchu, we are really shallow. And now that Han Fu has been defeated, and the plain is already a dead land, why not go north? With all due respect, my subordinates said bluntly, going to the Bohai Sea, I came to Fujun who had been operating there for many years, and he was also popular; Second, as long as the prince of Fujun rode to Fanyang in Zhuo County, General Dangkou (Gongsun Fan) would help him no matter what, and he would ...... at that time."

"At that time, will we be able to keep the half of the Bohai Sea or will we be able to stabilize the two or three cities in the northernmost?" Gongsun Bogui directly interrupted the other party. "Or simply lead these 5,000 cavalry to the area of Yixian County in Hejian to make a buffer for Gongsun Fan across the Yi water? So much so that it is not worth a penny! ”

Guan Jing immediately lost his color, and hurriedly led the west sun to kneel down and plead guilty: "Fu Jun, his subordinates are definitely loyal, since Gao Liu Saimeng Jun took him in that day, he has been determined to serve the king for life......

"I know the faithfulness of my feet." Seeing this, Gongsun Chan shook his head helplessly, so he threw down the horsewhip and leaned over to help the other party. "I also know that the foot is a piece of good intentions...... But Shiqi, I really don't want to be looked down upon and treated as worthless anymore! ”

Guan Jing was suddenly helpless, but he was a little puzzled: "Junhou, I know that General Dangkou is the descendant of the Gongsun family, and it is normal for you to have differences in your heart because of your childhood, but now it is General Wei who is in charge after all, and he is only the one ordered by General Wei to guard it, and you are both brothers of General Wei's family, and you and General Wei have been upward since childhood, even if you go, you will not live under others, right?!" ”

"Shiqi!" Gongsun Chan leaned over to pick up the whip again, and before he could raise his head, he was already sneering. "I'm afraid you don't know that at this moment, the person who dislikes me the most and regards my Gongsun Zan as nothing is precisely this 'General Wei'!"

Guan Jing was stunned on the spot.

"He thought I didn't know his mind, he thought I didn't understand his plan." On the tower of the city gate, as the Bohai Taishou paced, his voice became louder and louder, and the meaning of ridicule or self-deprecation became stronger. "But how can I not understand if others don't understand? Since I was sixteen years old, I have lived and eaten with him in the same room, settled accounts, wrote, and passed the word in a county hall, and I have watched him grow up, and he has watched me grow up......"

"When I was begging Dong the year before last, the villagers and the elders of the clan in Youzhou sent letters to question me, asking me why I didn't follow him, but how could those people know that if I followed him, the foundation of the millions of people in Bohai would be directly abandoned, because eighty percent of his people wanted me to lead troops to follow him to Guanzhong. That's why I sent someone to ask for a general's name, trying to imply that I would stay and defend one side...... But what I never expected was that my brother of thirty years was worthless in his eyes, he didn't even give me a general's number, and he didn't even give me the qualification to guard a town, but instead gave people like Guan Yu and Cheng Pu a general seal! ”

At this point, Gongsun Zhan, who was extremely indignant, suddenly calmed down, and said the truth to Guan Jing: "Shiqi, I have clear grievances and grievances, since I was a child and grew up, I have firmly remembered the people who look up to me...... My aunt took care of me, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life; You are the first to devote yourself to me, Tian Kai led the children of his clan to me, the royal family and Yan Gang are willing to follow me, and I will not forget; There is also the clan uncle Sun Fang, the clan brother Gongsun Calf is willing to obey me, and I am also grateful; Even my righteous brothers, who came from very poor backgrounds, have taken care of me a lot these days when I have the Bohai Sea and the plains. But on the other hand, those who look down on me, such as Gongsun Fan, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Xun, how can I bear it? Now that Yuan Benchu is in front, you asked me to flee without a fight and go to Gongsun Fan to seek protection from Gongsun Xun...... The reason is right, and the stakes are right, but I can't calm my heart! ”

"What does that Fujun want?" Guan Jing reluctantly asked.

"I have already asked Tian Kai, Wang Men, and Yan Gang to prepare." Gongsun Zhanfu looked at the old desecration of the Yellow River in the west of the city, and the golden flash became clearer as the sun set. "You'll find out in the evening."

Guan Jing persuaded bitterly for a while: "The body of the prince of the mansion, don't take risks." ”

"If I don't take this risk, I will be worthless in front of my brother and Yuan Benchu for the rest of my life!" Gongsun Chan responded awe-inspiredly. "In the past thirty years, I have seen my brother rise into the sky day by day like a snake turning into a dragon, and I have asked myself when and where I have fallen behind him, but I have also woken up...... Others don't know, but you should know which time it was, right? ”

Guan Jing raised his head and sighed: "Did the prince of the palace say that when the sun rises in Gaoliusai?" ”

"Not bad!" Gongsun Chan turned his head and stared at his most trusted subordinate, not in a hurry. "That time! Although at that time his official position was much higher than mine...... But I was never convinced, but after this incident, I suddenly knew that I would not be able to catch up with him in my life...... The bullet sweat mountain fired, and I once wanted to turn back to find him desperately, but in the end I could only be coerced back by the defeated soldiers! Shiqi, the eldest husband was born in the world, and saw that his brother was either rampant in the world or sitting on one side, but how could he bear that he was not worth anything? If I go and join Fan Yang today, my life will definitely be my life, and I will have a future and wealth in the future, but I will never be able to raise my head in front of my brothers and Yuan Benchu, a little slave dog thief. ”

Guan Jing heard this, and was silent, just stood on top of the city with his benefactor, watched the sunset gradually sink on the opposite bank of the Yellow River in the distance, and then left together in the twilight.

When it was time for dinner, Gongsun Zhanfu summoned all the officers, officials, and cronies in the city, but he still did not remove his armor or sword, and strictly ordered all the officers to do the same.

In other words, in Pingyuan City at this time, from Gongsun Chan down, there are probably so many important people.

Wen is naturally Guan Jing, Wu is the king, Yan Gang, and then there is Gongsun Zhan's distant uncle Sun Fang in Qinghe, and Gongsun Qian, the younger brother of the distant clan in the plains. In addition, there is also a diviner Liu Weitai who accompanied the army...... The latter one, plus Li Yizi, who opened a machine room at home to do a weaving business, and Le Hedang, who did a pawn business, are actually vassal merchants of the Amway, and they are both from Yuyang, and they are the righteous brothers made by Gongsun Chan during his tenure in Yuyang.

In short, these people are either Gongsun Zhan's confidants, or their clansmen, or their personal friends, all of whom are characters with heads and faces...... However, at this time, the real second place in the banquet was Liaoxi Tian Kaitian Gongzhi.

You must know that Tian Kai was born in the Youzhou family, and he is the leader of the Tian clan in Liaoxi, the only second family in Liaoxi, and he is also a colleague and young friend of Gongsun Xun, Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan and others...... And the reason why this person did not follow Gongsun Xun but chose Gongsun Zhan, on the surface, is that he is located in Liaoxi, and his actions are a little procrastinating, and he hesitates for a while after asking the director, and he doesn't know whether to choose to cringe with Zhao Bao, or break through with Gongsun Xun, so that he is a step late.

But in fact, his mentality is somewhat similar to Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xun used to be old, once he was high, not only did he not have the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but felt that it was difficult to accept it for a while, and there were many talents there, and he was also worried that he would not be able to reuse it, so he was invited by Gongsun Chan to ...... When the troubled times first rose, there were too many such people, and Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao could not accept that their former ally Yuan Shao suddenly became the 'Duke of Ming' and fell to that point.

However, when this person came to Bohai, he really fulfilled his wish and became the so-called one person under ten thousand people...... After all, Gongsun Chan has the Bohai Sea, a population of one million, plus a local arsenal or something, it is very easy to pull out a foot soldier, but it is extremely hard to arm a cavalry.

Because a cavalry is not only equipment, but more importantly, war horses, but especially important is the knight himself.

For Gongsun Zhan, his 5,000 cavalry equipment is based on the Bohai arsenal, and the war horses are purchased from the north by a few Yuyang Yi brothers with the help of their best, and the knights have to rely on Gongsun Zhan's own prestige to recruit in the border counties.

In other words, this is a partner with real belongings, not an ordinary subordinate.

Therefore, after Gongsun Zhan broke through the Yellow Turban diverted in the north and occupied the plain, he simply appointed Tian Kai as the chief general in the south, and also privately expressed the position of a captain for the other party, which is the only two 2,000 stones in the group, and now he is responsible for the entire Yellow River defense line, mastering 20,000 foot soldiers.

Of course, 20,000 soldiers of the army in a year are not as good as the 5,000 cavalry in any case...... This is not only a matter of combat effectiveness, but also that these 5,000 cavalry are all Youzhou people, and they are the real core belongings of the small group of Gongsun Zhan, as for the 20,000 people, there are Bohai people and Pingyuan people, which are more or less like the subordinate troops of these 5,000 cavalry.

But in any case, as the 20,000-strong army on the front line and the head of the Yellow River defense line, his sudden return caught everyone off guard.

Of course, more surprises are yet to come.

"Uncle and Ah Li guarded the city, Shiqi returned to Bohai overnight, and all the troops under the public command were sent from me." After eating a little wine, Gongsun Zhan put down the banquet posture and got up straight. "I have made up my mind, taking advantage of the opponent's great victory and unpreparedness, I will only mention 5,000 cavalry to cross the Yellow River tonight and raid Yuan's camp!"

The people in the banquet, except for Tian Kai and Guan Jing, Wang Men and Yan Gang, who went to prepare soldiers and horses during the day, and other officers all lost their color suddenly...... They also thought that Gongsun Xun had prepared during the day, and at night he had his soldiers come in armor, so he wanted to escape by night! As for Gongsun Fang and Gongsun Qian, the former was from the Qinghe clan, and the latter was even more stunned.

At this time, as Gongsun Zhan's voice fell, another guard held a double-headed steel lance and sent it, and Gongsun Bogui took it in the middle of the banquet, and then stood up, and then looked at him again: "Do you have any objections?" ”

"We have few soldiers!" Someone got up hard. "The prince of the house does not ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Gongsun Chan didn't blink his eyelids, so he attended directly, went down to this person, and stabbed this person to death on the spot, looking at him like that, it didn't look like killing someone, but like killing a chicken.

Everyone was shocked, and Gongsun Bo Guifu stood in front of the dead man again, wiping the steel lance with a silk, and at the same time raised his voice to ask: "What I just said, but there are still people who have objections?" ”

Guan Jing rose up in response: "Lord...... There is dissent from subordinates. ”

When Gongsun Zhan heard this title, his heart moved slightly, and naturally he didn't shoot his spear, but he still shook his head: "Shiqi doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind to send troops." ”

"That's not it." Guan Jing avoided the table and bowed down in public. "Although my subordinates have not been in the army for many years, they can still fight on horseback, please join the army!"

Gongsun Chan was finally stunned.

"The lord used the strategies of his subordinates to forge ahead that day, so that there is a crisis today, and now the lord wants to fight for life and death, how can his subordinates abandon the lord and leave?" Guan Jing raised his head and looked at each other earnestly. "Jing is willing to go on the expedition!"

"That being the case," Gongsun Chan looked up and sighed, and did not help the other party up, but stood in the middle of the banquet and held the lance against each other. "Today, you and I will go together, and we must let the world know that my Gongsun Chan is by no means worthless, and you are not worthless!"

In the end, his people held the lance around again, pointing to the surrounding masters, not just Guan Jing, from Tian Kai down, connected with Wang Men, Yan Gang, and other officers in the banquet, they also got up and bowed their heads.
