He said: You go down first, and I will discuss it with the clansmen.

After Guan Jing left, he called for Nanlou and Su Fuyan.

He said: Zhang Jie is attacking Liaodong again, Gongsun Zhan asked us for help, the two of you said what should we do?

Su Fuyan said: Zhang Jie is not easy to deal with, last time Wuyan has not come back until now, and the hundreds of people who escaped back said that they were ambushed and may have been captured. Later, they also looked for Wuyan and others, but there is no accurate news so far, what if we send troops again and fail? The Han Chinese are scheming. Not so easy to deal with.

He said: Zhang Jie has never been friendly to us, since he occupied Youzhou, he will not sell us a grain tree, and he will not sell us a pound of iron. If he defeats Gongsun Zhan, then he may come to deal with us in the future. Although Gongsun Chan is not a good person, if he has him to contain Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie will not dare to deal with us with all his might.

There are also 20,000 warriors such as Wuyan still in Zhang Jie's hands, and Gongsun Zhan's messenger said that Zhang Jie let them mine, and if we can also capture Zhang Jie's soldiers, we can exchange prisoners of war with them.

Nanlou and Su Muyan were a little embarrassed, but they felt that they had to exchange 20,000 warriors back.

Su Fuyan said: The Han people are good at guarding the city, if it is a field battle, we have nothing to fear.

In order to get back 20,000 warriors, it seems that we can only send troops, but how many troops is good? Zhang Jie has a lot of people.

He said: This time I want to personally lead the troops, our total strength is not much, and we have to guard against Xianbei, I decided to bring 40,000 people over. Nanlou Dao: If you take 40,000 people, there will be less than 20,000 soldiers left, and the rest are old and weak, women and children. I heard that Zhang Jie only had less than 40,000 horses to go to Liaodong. Aren't we going to siege the city, what are we going to do with so many people? I'm against it.

Su Fuyan said: Regent, let's not go to fight Zhang Jie to the death, bring so many people, if Zhang Jie sends an envoy to Xianbei and let the Xianbei people beat us, it will be troublesome.

Suddenly: Well, you have a point. Then bring 30,000 warriors with you! Leaving 40,000 men is enough to guard the grasslands. In fact, the entire Wuhuan is less than 100,000 young and strong, including sixteen to fifty years old. Last time, I lost 20,000. Now the total number of people is less than 80,000, and the rest are women, children and the elderly.

This time, Badun took 30,000 people to save Gongsun Zhan, and more than 40,000 people remained. These 40,000 people did not stay in one place, but guarded the entire territory of Wuhuan. And they are all herders, not professional soldiers. But they grew up on horseback, so they were cavalry when they took weapons. This included Inner Mongolia and some areas in the northeast in later generations, and as far as the grasslands were concerned, Wuhuan's territory was better than that of Xianbei. But Xianbei's territory is larger than Wuhuan, and Xianbei has a larger population.

With 30,000 men, he rushed east from Liucheng to Liaodong.

After a few days, Zhang Jie's army finally came to Zhixiangping (Liaoyang, Liaoning), Liaodong County, all the way for nearly a thousand miles. Zhang Jie came to the Northeast several times in later life. But it's all by train. The population of the northeast during the Han Dynasty was small and desolate. In history, Gongsun Zhan committed suicide after the defeat of Yi County, and did not run to Liaodong at all. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jie forced him to this role.

Zhang Jie had a total army of 35,000, including 15,000 cavalry. In order to allow the horses to have food and grass, the army basically walked, and each horse had two sacks of grain to ensure three months' rations.

When the army was about to arrive in Liaodong, Zhang Jie discussed with the two military advisors whether to directly attack Yexiangping City in Liaodong County and take Gongsun Zhan, or to attack a few small cities first and then put grain and grass as a stronghold.

Jia Xu said: I think it is better to first lay down one or two small county towns that are close to Xiangping and have no defenders, and save the grain and grass well, so as not to get moldy when it rains. Then go to attack Xiangping. Another reason is that Wuhuan and Goguryeo and other aliens don't know if they will come to help Gongsun Zhan. If we put the camp grain and grass in the field, if there are too many foreign cavalry, it will be difficult to keep the grain and grass safe. But if it is placed in the city, even if it is only a small city, it is enough, and the alien race is not good at attacking the city. It is enough to send a few thousand defenders. Zhang Jie said: Good! According to the text and the opinion.

Zhang Jie called Wei Yan and said, "Wen Chang, you take 3,000 people to take a county closer to Xiangping." Our grain and grass camp is located in a small county town. Wei Yandao: There are Liao team, Xinchang, and Anshi near here. I don't know which is better.

Zhang Jie said: Just get closer to Gongsun Zhan. Go and get one, and send someone to put the grain in the storehouse. Promise! Zhang Jie said: Let's go to Xiangping City first.

When Zhang Jie's army came to Xiangping City, everyone was dumbfounded.

Jia Xuyao said: No wonder the lord said in Jixian County that Gongsun Zhan is the material for making a big farmer, and I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world dug in this trench? Xu can be regarded as reading the war method of war. I have never heard of such a trench defense operation.

The soldiers are also straight away. Zhang Jie has opened his eyes, Gongsun Chan will not be an expert in digging trenches in World War I in later generations, right? Could it be that they also crossed over? If you look down from the air, it is that Xiangping City is surrounded by large and small trenches, and there are a small number of archers in the trenches. Although Xiangping City is not very large, the city wall has also been strengthened by Gongsun Zhan.

Since the defeat of Jixian last time, Gongsun Chan began to try his best to hold Xiangping. Zhang Jie said: Bring Gongsun Yue over. After a while, Gongsun Yue also came outside the city, and Zhang Jie didn't treat Gongsun Yue well. After all, they surrendered on their own initiative.

Zhang Jiedao: How does Brother Yue feel when he sees this trench? Gongsun Yue said: Why not use the terrain to wait for the generals?

Zhang Jiedao: You said how good it is for Gongsun Bogui to be a big farmer, and how good it is to teach the people to build water conservancy channels. It's a pity that he is here to forcibly force the people to dig these trenches regardless of their lives and deaths, which is a cocoon and self-restraint.

Does he think a few ditches will stop my army from attacking the city?

Joke, let me tell you that the best defense is offense, and since I started the war with Gongsun Zhan, Xu Liao has fought in the river in a dignified manner, and he has been a turtle with a shrunken head, which really disappoints me. Do you know why I don't bring too many troops with me every time I go north from Yecheng? Because in the eyes of the soldiers, Gongsun Chan is vulnerable. Bringing too many troops will scare him.

I rushed from Yecheng to Liaodong, and there were only about 30,000 people, and Gongsun Zhan was not much less than me, and he was still waiting for work. But do you see that he has the idea of taking the initiative? As the commander-in-chief, he is so timid and afraid of death. The confidence of his soldiers to win? Gongsun Zhan still wants to be the general manager of Hebei, and he dares to kill his clan relative Liu Yu, but when you see him Xu Gang, what else is there? It's just rubbish.

Have you ever seen that there are candidates in the world who can achieve great things by digging a ditch? Although the world is in chaos now, he is not the Warring States period after all, and there is no other country to save him. Does he want to betray Youzhou and become a traitor? Can you help? In this way, it seems that his grandson Chan has really lost the face of all the candidates in the world.
