The camp of the Yuan army under the city of the plain stretches endlessly, the flags are hunting in the wind, and a team of patrol soldiers are holding iron halberds in their hands, and their eyes are cold and vigilant. ”

"Let's talk about it!"

Yan Liang wore a felt hat, but the tip of his nose was red from the cold and made him unwilling to stay even a second longer in this damn weather.

Frozen to death, Yan Lianghe, who was scolding in his mouth, squatted next to the copper basin to roast the fire when he entered the tent, but when he turned his head, he found that the judge was shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and snorted: "I have been guarding outside for so long, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the Zhan army, according to me, Gongsun Zhan will not come to save the plain." ”

"It's just right if you don't come, if you dare to come, as long as there is a gong Ji guarding the path, no matter how many people come, you will stay in the plain!"

The chill on Yan Liang's body decreased slightly, he stood up and laughed dryly, and said, "If the reinforcements didn't come from the path, wouldn't they have done useless work?" "This ghost weather is not a soldier, even his body can't withstand a few days of tossing.

In order to strengthen his determination to continue to defend, he could only give him a reassuring pill first, his face narrowed, and he said categorically: "Unless there are no reinforcements, if there are reinforcements, the Zan army will only come from the path!" ”

"How can you see it due south?" Yan Liang was skeptical that he had such confidence.

"Because when they come to help, they must want to be surprised, and the big road will not have any surprise effect, but will expose itself! Therefore, they can only choose small paths, and only hidden roads have a surprising effect. Therefore, Gongji is good at ambushing and waiting for the Zhan army to take the bait! ”

Yan Liang pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he finally realized the key to it, wanting to win more with less on the battlefield. The weak enemy is not a strange victory, the sword goes to the front, and the sword goes to the edge is naturally a place that others can't think of, and in the trade-off between the gallop road and the trail, they will naturally choose the secret route of the trail, because their opponent will decide from the heart that you can't think that he will come from the path, and it is precisely because of this that the trial insists on setting up an ambush on the path!

Seeing that Yan Liang understood the key, Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "This is the common nature of people, it seems that the game is generally two people who take turns to fall, but often some people always think of each other as stupid." It's as if you can lose two sons at a time, just thinking that the next son will eat and kill each other, but you don't want to fall into the other party's pocket! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, but Tian Yu has to lead his troops to catch up with dozens of roads every day and march towards Pingyuan County, sometimes he thinks in his heart, why didn't Liu Lan come to the plain by himself but by himself?

Tian Yu was extremely opposed to Liu Lan's deployment, and he had also argued on the basis of reason that the plain was a dangerous place and should be abandoned. It's just that the facts can't be changed, and as a martial artist, he can only accept the general's order.

In this way, Tian Yu and Zhen Yan embarked on a dangerous journey, and he knew the danger of the plains. So along the way, I thought about how to keep myself and my soldiers safe.

The wind was howling, like a steel knife, and every soldier was advancing against the cold wind. No one wants to go out in such weather, let alone fight. Especially as the New Year approaches, the soldiers are very homesick. The low morale was inevitable, and Tian Yu had to try his best to suppress it, that is, under the premise of being so anxious, he really came up with a way that was not a solution.

The troops stopped in front of the fork in the Huan table, and Tian Yu said to Zhen Yan on the side: "After many days, I finally thought of a way. ”

"What?" Zhen Yan looked at Tian Yu and asked.

"In any case, it is impossible for us to save the plains alone, this is the opinion of both you and me." Tian Yu sighed, pondered in his heart for a long time, and then said: "Since we go, we can't die or die......"

Tian Yu's blank afterglow made Zhen Yan a little uncertain about his thoughts: "Although we understand that it is death, we have no other way but to rush to the plain with a hard brow!" With a resigned expression, he said: "No matter how we delay the journey, no matter how far we go, sooner or later we will come here!" Zhen Yan's voice was very low, and he could be sure that what he said just now would not be heard by the second person.

Tian Yu peeked around and whispered, "So I thought of a way to prevent such a thing from happening, but if this thing leaks out......"

"I naturally know this, I'm not familiar with the people of the plains!" Zhen Yan smiled, between his own safety and the plains, he chose his own safety like Tian Yu: "Compared to these people I am not familiar with, I think it is better to save my life first!" So only God knows, you know, I know! ”

Tian Yu nodded approvingly: "If we rescue the plain and give the Shao army a surprise blow, we will naturally have to take small roads or even mountain roads, although we will catch the Shao army off guard, but as long as the Shao army reacts, we will also suffer an unprecedented blow from the Shao army." ”

Zhen Yan agreed with his analysis very much, and said: "Since it is a rescue, it is natural to be surprised, otherwise it will not achieve the expected effect!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Tian Yu suspiciously: "It's just that I don't understand what this has to do with the strategy of guaranteeing his life?" ”

"Then why don't we go to the plains in the open?"

"You mean to go up from the official road?"

Zhen Yan thought for a while, changed his words, and asked: "Wouldn't this expose himself, but make Shao Jun prepared, and maybe even give us a fatal blow?" ”

"But at least we can retreat at the first opportunity, and we will retreat faster on official roads! It will also be easier to evacuate. ”

"Even so, it's also easier for the Shao army to pursue us!"

"No, we only need one blow to retreat, if Yuan Jun arrives, we can ambush him! In this way, if it becomes a stalemate, it will be beneficial to our army, and if it does not come, our army can take advantage of this to return to the division! ”

Zhen Yan pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "It can only be like this, the lesser of the two powers; Even if our army loses, it will only lose a small part, and it can still take most of it back to the division. In this way, Gongsun Beiping and Deran Gong will not be blamed! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yecheng, after ten days of fierce fighting. At this time, even Yuan Shao was wearing armor and personally guarded the Yecheng Tower. There are already less than a thousand guards left in the city, and it can be said that the generals around him, except for himself and civilian officials, were all wounded.

For some reason, the Zan army suddenly stopped attacking, and everyone came to Yuan Shao's side and surrounded him, everyone's face was not good-looking, everyone knew it. The day of the city is getting closer and closer, maybe the next moment.

Yuan Shao clenched the Sizhao Sword in his hand, and his eyes first looked at the Zhan army resting in the distance, and suddenly, I don't know who said, 'Lord, what should we do?' If you don't think about it, Yecheng will be breached! ”

Yuan Shao, who retracted his gaze, glared at everyone angrily, wanting to see who was disturbing the morale of the army at this time, of course, there was no receipt, but he saw Tian Feng. The depression accumulated for many days finally found an outlet, and he said viciously: "This is the plan you said about going up to the house and pumping the ladder?" Sure enough, it's a good plan, a brilliant plan! "At the end of the day. Anyone could hear the viciousness in Yuan Shao's tone.

"My lord, why don't you abandon the city for the time being, as long as the lord is safe. Don't worry about regaining its glory. Feng Ji interjected at the right time.

"I finally got Yecheng, and you actually asked me to give up?" Yuan Shao, who was angry and gnashing his teeth, saw that it was Feng Ji. Suppress your anger, after all, Jizhou depends on this person. said: "No matter what, you can't give up Yecheng, if you really get to that point, you can only let the young people in the city defend the city together, I hope it can be delayed for a few days, as long as Wen Chou arrives in time, the crisis in Yecheng will be solved!" ”

"Gongsun Chan has also suffered heavy losses, as long as General Wen Chou arrives, it will be the time when Gongsun Chan fails!" Tian Feng felt a little relieved that Yuan Shao was still holding the idea of defending Yecheng, and strongly agreed.

"Hmph."

Yuan Shao snorted, and ignored Tian Feng, and suddenly saw the whole team of the Zan army coming again, everyone looked, the Zan army had arrived not far outside the city, and suddenly the troops were divided left and right, but Gongsun Zan came out of it, and shouted at Yuan Shao: "Yuan Shao, at this moment, I think you should still sacrifice the city, otherwise the jade will be burned on the day the army breaks the city......" While speaking, Gongsun Fan has also come to Gongsun Zhan's side.

"I'd rather die, swear not to surrender!" Yuan Shao looked at Gongsun Zhan with cold eyes, and said in an unusually firm tone.

"Haha, Yuan Shao, when did you become so bold? When I heard that my brother had raised an army, you actually gave me the seal of the Bohai Taishou, but I didn't want me to lead your Bohai soldiers to attack you! After Gongsun Fan finished speaking, he looked at his brother and laughed, mocking Yuan Shao as he lifted a stone and hit himself on the foot.

Yuan Shao's expression changed, he felt ashamed of Gongsun Fan's ridicule, and looked at the two people under the city with gloomy eyes, although he was resentful, but with his strength at this time, he did not have the strength to fight with Gongsun Zhan, even if he defended Yecheng, it was inevitable that he would be defeated in the end and flee for his life, so he listened to the ridicule outside the city, although he was angry, he had to swallow his anger.

Although Gongsun Chan only continued to garrison troops at the North Gate, and had not yet attacked the city, he obviously hoped that he could open the city and surrender, if he still held the determination to defend to the death, he would lose more troops at that time, so Gongsun Chan came up with this strategy to break the military spirit of the defenders of Yecheng.

"Yuan Shao, as long as you take the initiative to surrender today, I can promise you that I will not harm anyone, whether it is civilians or soldiers, how about it?" Gongsun Chan had already put away his laughter, showed a sincere expression, and persuaded.

"Do you really think that everyone here is a three-year-old naughty boy? How many troops have you lost in Yecheng, if the lord sacrifices the city, I am afraid it will be even more miserable than dying in battle, and then it will be true that you can't survive or die!" Tian Feng found that Yuan Shao was moved at a certain moment, and he was shocked and shouted first.

Yuan Shao was extremely dissatisfied with Tian Feng, but at this time, Tian Feng was thinking for himself after all, he knew that if he sacrificed the city, Gongsun Zhan would definitely fulfill his promise, but Tian Feng's words made the soldiers who were ready to move before give up their last hope, but their determination to continue to defend Yecheng was shaken.

At this time, what Yuan Shao expected in his heart was to hope that Gongsun Zan would have more troops, as long as he could surround the four gates, then these soldiers defending the city would fight to defend the city when they knew that there was no way back, but at this time, the three gates could escape, and the confidence of these soldiers in continuing to defend Yecheng fell to a low point, including some generals, who may escape from other city gates at any time.

Yuan Shao's face turned gloomy, and from the moment he noticed the change in the expressions of the soldiers, he knew that Gongsun Zhan's next siege might be the time for the city to be broken.

"Yuan Shao, you have always loved the people, do you think that you can protect Yecheng with your current guards? You don't think about the lives of these soldiers, but also for the people of Yecheng, do you really have the heart to look at the tragic situation when the city is broken? ”

Yuan Shao, who was almost bewitched by Gongsun Zhan, suddenly laughed, and the vigorous momentum that had not been seen for many years suddenly exploded, his eyes were cold, and his cold color was gloomy, as if he was from Jiuyou, and he was like a demon seeking his life in the underworld, and shouted with all his strength: "Gongsun Zhan, don't continue to make noise, if you really have the ability, come and take the head of my neck now, if you think that you can threaten me by taking the people, then you are wrong, this will only prove that your Gongsun Chan is a villain at all, not an upright hero!"
