In the past, Ji Yuan must have commanded with arrogance.

However, he was defeated and fled back, and he was likely to be punished next, and then the tiger fell to Pingyang, and there were many times when he begged for help, so he was very polite to the soldiers guarding the door.

The soldier entered the mansion to report, and after a short time, the soldier came back and said, "General Ji, Guan Changshi is invited." ”

"Thank you!"

Ji Yuan nodded and entered the mansion.

The soldier glanced at Ji Yuan, who was in tatters, laughed at himself, and said in his heart: "It's really strange today, Ji Yuan, who has never looked at people properly, would thank us for being a mud-legged man." ”

Without mentioning the soldier's thoughts, Ji Yuan entered the palace and went straight to the hall.

Entering the hall and seeing Guan Jing sitting on the main seat, Ji Yuan knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a low tone: "The last general is guilty, please punish Guan Changshi." ”

Guan Jing saw Ji Yuan, frowned and said, "What about Gu Lie and Hong Shusi?" ”

"Dead!"

Ji Yuan lowered his head and replied cautiously.

Guan Jing's eyes widened with anger, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose. Obviously, this time it was defeated again. His face was blue, his fists clenched, and he slammed his fist on the desk in front of him.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Ji Yuan shivered coldly, and almost fell to the ground.

"What the hell is going on? How can a good plan fail? ”

Guan Jing's face was cold, and his eyes were cold. In Guan Jing's view, Jizhou's army won successive battles, and Tai Shici's vanguard army gradually became arrogant, and if they were slightly tempted to design, the other party would undoubtedly lose. Moreover, he has a flawless plan and is sure to win big.

Why?

Why did it fail?

Guan Jing couldn't figure out what he thought.

On the way back, Ji Yuan had already thought of his words, and he said slowly: "Guan Changshi's strategy is excellent, Gu Lie and Hong Shusi and I drove according to the plan, and everything went well. ”

"The two sides fought, and we destroyed Tai Shici's 3,000 vanguard army at the beginning."

"Then, he ambushed Tai Shici's reinforcements in the middle of the road."

"However, the problem is with the reinforcements. We occupied the favorable terrain and hid on the hill to kill with bows and arrows, or the soldiers formed a spear formation to cover the kill, but there was a surprising scene. ”

"No matter how we kill or attack, the other side always resists stubbornly."

"Even, we adopted the strategy of recruiting the Jizhou army, but none of the generals on the other side surrendered, and they all resisted desperately with the Jizhou soldiers. The two sides used each mountain as the site of the battle, fighting for their lives and fighting for control of the mountain. ”

"From that time on, our army began to wear and tear a lot."

"However, we have the upper hand. The soldiers lost countless times, and finally pushed the other side into a corner. thought that he could annihilate the other party in one fell swoop, but at this time, another wave of reinforcements from the Jizhou army came. ”

"The person who came was Lu Bu, and he led the 3,000 Eagle Falcon battalion into the battlefield."

Ji Yuan said helplessly with a sad face: "Our army and the 20,000 Jizhou army have fought hard, lost most of the troops, and the combat effectiveness has seriously declined, and the original advantage has been minimal. Lu Bu's Eagle Falcon battalion came in, and the situation immediately changed. Gu Lie and Hongshusi bore the brunt of the killing, and they thought about reporting the news to the adults, so that they could survive, otherwise they would have died on the battlefield. ”

Guan Jing asked: "In this battle, how many people did the Jizhou army lose?" ”

Ji Yuan thought for a while and replied: "The specific results are difficult to speculate, but the last general observed, the 20,000 Youzhou army must be ten to Jiu, and it is very remarkable to have 3,000 people left." ”

Guan Jing nodded and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

It's a pity to fight this battle.

At the same time, Guan Jing also understood the ferocity of the Jizhou army. In a desperate situation, you can still fight to the death. Such an army is really frightening.

After a short period of emotion, Guan Jing's heart rose with pride.

Fighting with such an army, it is worth dying.

Even if he dies, Guan Jing wants the world to see his ability, even if he takes extreme measures.

Guan Jing glanced at Ji Yuan and said, "This battle failed, although there are objective factors, but in the end it still failed, which is caused by your improper command." Say, what shall I do with you? ”

When Ji Yuan heard this, he was immediately frightened half to death.

"Guan Changshi, the last general is willing to make meritorious contributions, please open up the Guan Chang Shiwang."

When it came to his life, Ji Yuan hurriedly begged for mercy.

Ji Yuan looked up and saw Guan Jing hesitating, and he was even more frightened, and hurriedly said: "No matter what Guan Changshi asks me to do, I am willing to do it, I just ask Guan Changshi to make the last general guilty and make meritorious contributions." ”

Guan Jing said: "Get up!" ”

"Whew!"

Ji Yuan let out a sigh before he stood up.

Guan Jing flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Go back to the barracks and put the soldiers back in order." In addition, the soldiers in the city also trained me. To block Wang Lei, it takes a lot of effort. ”

Ji Yuan said: "Please rest assured that the last general will definitely do his best." ”

"Go down!"

Guan Jing knocked and waved his hand to make Ji Yuan retreat.

In fact, at this point, it is impossible for Guan Jing to kill generals at will. After all, there aren't many people available, so being able to leave one counts as one. A bang, it's enough. After Ji Yuan left the hall, Guan Jing's expression became extremely grim.

The situation is too serious!

The loss of more than 20,000 soldiers is undoubtedly worse for Youzhou.

The defense of Jixian County has added great difficulties.

"How can we strengthen our defense?"

Guan Jing's eyes were serious and he thought carefully. After pondering for a long time, Guan Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he already had an idea in his heart, and ordered: "Come here, pass the order of Jixian County to come and see you." ”

The soldiers in the government went to give orders, and it didn't take long for the county order to come to the government office.

The county magistrate's name is Lin Sheng, and he is recommended by Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Fan. Lin Sheng bowed and saluted: "The lower officials have visited Guan Changshi, I don't know what happened to Guan Changshi?" ”

Guan Jing smiled slightly, and ordered: "Lin County Order, there are two things for you to do. These two things are related to the safety of Jixian County and the future of Youzhou, and you must deal with them personally. ”

Lin Sheng said: "Please ask Guan Changshi to command." ”

Guan Jing leaned forward slightly and said in detail.

After Lin Sheng heard this, his eyes widened, his eyes were full of horror, and he said, "Guan Changshi, the first thing can be done, and it won't have any impact." However, if the second thing is done, it will be poked in the back, and it will be spit on by future generations. Even if you die, you won't be at peace. ”

Guan Jing had a cold face and said lightly: "After I die, I don't care if he floods." If Jixian County can't keep it, can the savings of Linxian County Order be kept? When the time comes, the people will kill you. Don't think that the things you have wiped clean during your tenure as the county magistrate, the eyes of the people are clear, and they all remember what you have committed. ”

Lin Sheng blinked, sighed lightly, nodded helplessly, and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Guan Changshi, you will definitely do it beautifully." ”

Guan Jing said: "Time is urgent, go and prepare." ”

Lin Sheng bowed his hand and said goodbye, and when he left the mansion, he had a posture of being sluggish and cold.
