After the night attack, the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they couldn't hold out, and they were deliberately avoiding each other, not daring to provoke a war easily.

Gongsun Zhan knew what Yuan Shao was doing, but this good abacus would never work.

Yuan Shao didn't have the heart to fight a decisive battle again, and Gongsun Chan didn't have the certainty of attacking because of the division of troops, so the two sides naturally became subtle, and at this time, the two sides were waiting for who would light the fuse first.

If the news of Zhao Yun's victory came, then Yuan Shao would not be as good as at this time, the initiative on the battlefield had been transferred to others, even if he wanted to take the initiative or continue to shrink, he would no longer be able to help him, unless the injured Yuan 'crippled' made up his mind to defend Yecheng, otherwise sooner or later it would become a Chinese meal on Gongsun Zhan's plate.

Similarly, at this moment, instead of continuing to attack, Gongsun Chan should completely consolidate the territory he has won before Zhao Yun came to the good news of victory, and prepare for a long-term war with Yuan Shao, until Yecheng is completely captured, and as long as Yecheng is taken, it is equivalent to completely eliminating Yuan Shao, in the absence of mobile and powerful cavalry as the basis, Yuan Shao at that time has completely lost his living space in Jizhou, plus there is no supply support, the end is already doomed.

And Yuan Shao's thoughts are the same as Gongsun Zhan's, so at this time, the two northern giants have their eyes on northern Hebei, and a war that will determine the direction of the two sides will soon start here.

Just when both sides had their own thoughts, the first snow of this winter finally fell on the land of Jizhou, and the snowflakes flew to make the earth covered with a layer of silver, the trees were wrapped in white, and the sky was full of snowflakes embellished with the beauty of winter. It is a sign that winter has come completely.

Such a charming scenery did not make Liu Lan have too much thought to appreciate it, although it was a good year. But with this snowstorm came waves of bad news, as if this snow was a watershed. The good fortune before the snow did not return, and the situation took a turn for the worse, just like the winter in the north, which was bone-chilling.

In Gongsun Zhan's big tent, after listening to the defeated army's complaint that Long Cuo's grain was captured by Zhang Jaw to obtain information, Liu Lan's whole person seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and the physical and mental exhaustion and the feeling of being played by others made it difficult for him to accept the facts in front of him.

Gongsun Zhan looked at him with a slightly mocking look, although he didn't say anything to blame, but such a sharp look was more harsh in Liu Lan's eyes than any words of blame, and he was still swearing that his jaw was in the river. Zhang Jaw wants to surrender, but how can such a thing happen? He didn't appear in Hejian anyway, he was sparing a big circle, and appeared in Longcuo County, Bohai County.

What a ridiculous thing this is, Zhang Jaw must have been deceiving himself from beginning to end! Liu Lan had such an idea in his heart, Huo got up and said: "What a jaw, what a Zhang Junyi, what a counter-plot!" After saying three good things in a row, he was excited in his heart, if the open jaw appeared in front of him now. He had the intention of devouring him alive.

"This person is too powerful, he actually abandoned morality and disregarded it under such a big advantage at that time, and instead came up with such a clever plan, the depth of this person's scheming should not be underestimated." Although it was intercepted the grain and grass stored in Longminato. But after all, it was the result of robbing the granaries of Jizhou County, although he was distressed, Gongsun Chan still praised it.

There has been no news from Zhao Yun for a long time, and now the situation is serious. It seems that he can only use dark chess, and a ruthless color flashed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes.

"My brother will make him regret what he did!" Liu Lan gritted his teeth and said. Zhang Jaw's actions made him feel a naked shame and made him lose his dignity.

"My lord. At this time, it is useless to say again, as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and now the top priority is to obtain the grain and grass! "The one who spoke was Shan Jing, this person had a national face, a beard, and a thin figure, but the palms of his hands were unusually generous, and he was out of the way.

"Mingwei is very good at what he said, and at this time, it is urgent to transport grain from Youbeiping as soon as possible!"

"Bo Gui can't!"

Hearing the words of transporting grain from Youbeiping, Liu Lan's heart seemed to sink into the bottomless abyss, don't forget that it is only Zhang He who is emerging now, and Gao Ran is still not clear where he is, so he immediately spoke out to stop it, and said: "At this time, there is still no news from Zilong, and I don't know where Gao Lan is. ”

"Although Deran's words are reasonable, but the grain and grass in the army are only enough for a few months, if you don't transfer grain from Beiping immediately, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue, and there will be no food in the army at that time, and you will ...... it."

"How can the younger brother not know what Bergui said! It is precisely because of this that we have to wait for the northern land to be cleared before we can transfer the grain of Youzhou again. Liu Lan didn't think about it and said: "Now instead of transferring grain from Youzhou, it is better to transport grain from the plains!" ”

"Raising food from Deran? I'm afraid it's not enough! "You must know that the grain of the plain was left to Liu Lan by Gongsun Zhan, and the grain and grass stored there were enough to deal with Liu Lan's soldiers and horses, but it was difficult to supply his current army.

"Exactly!" Liu Lan looked at Gongsun Zan and said in a tone that could not be ignored: "If only one county in the plain has enough grain stockpiled, but has Bogui forgotten General Tian Kai?" ”

"What do you mean?" Gongsun Zhan's heart lit up with hope and said.

"The plains are just a transit point!"

Liu Lan looked at Gongsun Zan with a smile and continued: "Brother can make General Shan Jing and Yide go to the plains to escort grain and grass!" So be safe! ”

"But after all, he has just entered Qingzhou, and he is only afraid of ......" Gongsun Zan is also afraid of urging food like this, which will make Tian Kai unable to control Qingzhou.

"Brother don't worry, this is a stopgap measure." Liu Lan said with confidence: "Transporting grain from Beiping is still the top priority!" ”

"Didn't De Ran say it before......" Suddenly blessed to the heart, a trace of cunning flashed in the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, who suddenly realized, and Lang smiled: "But it is to transport grain from Beiping." "Now that Yuan Shao has the initiative in the war, if our army has no food and grass supply, it will be defeated by Yuan Shao, I am afraid that tens of thousands of sons and daughters will die in Jizhou, since this is the case, then use the grain of the plain first, and the grain of Beiping is to lead Gao Ran out!

The plan has been decided, and the generals scattered and left, but Liu Lan stayed alone, and after the generals left, he said: "My brother has a reluctant request, and I hope Bogui will agree!" ”

"Deran, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Lan and didn't understand what he was reluctant to ask.

"Zhangjaw Xiaoer plays with his brother, and his brother is ready to take revenge!"

Speaking of this, Liu Lan almost gritted his teeth. Said: "Since he is known to be in Longcuo, Lan Nai asked Bogui to lend him money. Swear to open your jaw! ”

"This ......"

Gongsun Chan hesitated in his heart and said, "Now the army is insufficient. After leaving alone, if you are with Deran soldiers and horses at this time, if Yuan Shao learns that you will definitely come to the camp, then you will really have to go back to the sky. ”

"There are only 3,000 people under Zhang Jaw's command, and my brother only selects 5,000 people to go to Longcuo, which is bound to break Yuan Shao's arm." Liu Lan had already made up his mind, and tried his best to persuade Gongsun Zan at this time.

"If Yuan Shao comes to attack, wouldn't it be ......"

"Brother, don't worry?"

Liu Lan was very sure and said: "This snow came at the right time. If there was no snow, Bei naturally would not have such a bold idea, but since God has given him a good opportunity, he can't miss it. ”

"What do you mean?" Gongsun Zhan was said by him like a second monk, and he was at a loss.

It is precisely because of the snow that our army can make a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, so that even if our army is mobilized, it will be buried by this heavy snow, so Yuan Shaoding will not find out that our army sent troops to Longcuo!

There is also the fact that Yuan Shao will not attack easily, he definitely wants to wait until our army is discouraged due to lack of food and grass before attacking in a big way! In this way, as long as the younger brother does it skillfully. If Yuan Shao doesn't know the division of our army, then he won't dare to act rashly no matter what! ”

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

"Yuan Hao is here." In Yuan Shao's big tent, Yuan Shao sat on the throne of the Chinese army and said to Tian Feng.

"Feng Gang got a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. I don't know which one the lord will listen to first? Tian Feng stroked his beard and smiled.

"A piece of good news, a piece of bad news?" Yuan Shao looked at him in confusion, wondering what good news and bad news his abnormal performance would bring to himself? Then he waved his hand and laughed. said: "Let's talk about the bad news first, and see how bad it is!" ”

"I know it carefully. Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army has made a move! Tian Feng's face was solemn, and the off-market situation of the Montenegrin Army was likely to completely break the situation in Jizhou. But at this time, the Jizhou Army and Gongsun Chan are in a stalemate, and they can only have a wait-and-see attitude towards the changes of the Black Mountain Army.

"What?"

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng in disbelief, dumbfounded, and said, "What is Zhang Yan doing here?" His heart was like a drum, banging and banging, and he snorted coldly after a while: "It can't be that Gongsun Chan has something to do with the Montenegrin Army, right?" ”

"My subordinates don't know!"

Tian Feng didn't know the specific situation, but at this time, Zhang Yan had a change, if he said that he had nothing to do with Gongsun Zhan, then he would never believe it.

"I don't know if Yuan Hao has any good strategies to solve this crisis?" Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, hoping that he could have a clever plan to resolve this misfortune, he didn't want to suffer the embarrassment of being attacked by the enemy at that time.

"Why don't you hear the good news?" Tian Feng did not answer Yuan Shao immediately, but suggested that he listen to the good news before making a judgment.

"I wonder what the good news is?"

Yuan Shao actually forgot that there was good news to say, so he turned back from the Black Mountain Army and stared at Tian Feng, since he let himself hear the good news, then this matter must have something to do with the defense of the Black Mountain Army.

"The eldest prince and Zhang Junyi have succeeded!" Tian Feng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he was really happy in his heart, because the development of things was progressing step by step according to his own plan.

"What!" Yuan Shao exclaimed, and then realized that he was a little out of shape, coughed dryly, pretended to be calm and calm, concealed the excitement in his heart, and said: "So Gongsun Xiao'er is going to have no food to eat?" ”

"Exactly."

As he spoke, he took out the report paperwork, handed it to Yuan Shao and said: "The eldest prince's department did not spend a single soldier, and the sneak attack on Long was successful, and all the grain and grass of the army were destroyed!" ”

This Gongsun Zhan didn't know what to think, Nanpi City, which had high walls and thick walls, had to change the grain to Longcuo County, if it wasn't for his change, how could Zhang Junyi find out, what was he doing? Is it a cover-up? Tian Feng sneered in his heart, whether he was self-defeating or not, but then again, this Gongsun Zhan was bold enough, if it weren't for Junyi's discovery of the place where the grain was stored, he really didn't expect it to be Bohai, although Bohai Taishou is now Gongsun Fan, but it is the land of the main public industry, and he actually put the grain and grass there, and there is really a set!

Yuan Shao unfolded his reading, and took the case for a long time, good, good, this battle was fought beautifully, and I should be rewarded heavily. After walking two steps on the spot, it was hard to hide the excitement in his heart, and said, "Immediately distribute the commendation documents." Meritorious soldiers are promoted to one level and rewarded with thousands of dollars. Promote Zhang Jaw to Ning Guo Zhonglang General, and other rewards will be distributed together with the returning division! ”

Said here. After thinking about it, he said: "As for Xiansi, on the day of the class teacher, we will discuss the meritorious reward!" ”

The moment Yuan Shao finished speaking, Tian Feng had already finished writing the commendation document, and said with a smile: "Lord, everything is going according to the plan of going up the room to draw the ladder, is it time to take the next step." ”

"And what about the Montenegrin Army?" Yuan Shao was not carried away by the victory, and asked the immediate priority.

"The lord can read the general in advance and make him act according to the plan!"

Said here. Tian Feng's hand stroking his beard suddenly paused, and said: "Not only General Gao Lan, but also the eldest prince and the lord of Junyi, who are also going to send another book, so that they can go north for reinforcements!" ”

"Isn't it ......" Yuan Shao hesitated, looked at Tian Feng, and said, "Isn't it early?" ”

"Lord, Gongsun Chan has no food, so he naturally wants to send grain from Youzhou, so wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

I'm not talking about the war in northern Hebei. Again mentioning the matter of the Montenegrin army, he said: "And the Montenegrin army is only assembled, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being, and it is enough to send more detailed actions." If it really sends troops, it's not too late to make a plan! Speaking of this, he looked at the map hanging on the side and said: "The current lord's number one enemy is still Gongsun Zhan!" ”

"Yes!"

Yuan Shao nodded. At the same time, he also looked at the map on the side, and the two of them at this time. I am thinking about one thing, that is, can the plan to go up the room and draw the ladder succeed? It's all in the hands of Gao Yan. And will the battle of Gao Ran be as smooth as opening the jaw......

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

Wuji County, Zhen Mansion.

Zhen Yu wore a crown on his head, dressed in brocade clothes, his nervous face was a little gloomy, and he hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard.

Soon, several people stopped at the entrance of the inner courtyard and ordered more than ten family members to wait outside the courtyard, Zhen Yu walked into the inner courtyard first, passed the corridor, walked the flower hall, and soon came to Mrs. Zhen's room.

After calling the door, Zhen Yu directly pushed open the door and walked in, only to see his mother, Zhen Jiang and other sisters all here, and after a meaningful look at his mother, Mrs. Zhen waved her hand and said: "Okay, you girls should step down, and discuss with your eldest brother for your mother!" ”

When several people retreated, they only heard Zhen Yu say: "Jiang Er also stay and listen!" ”

Zhen Jiang didn't understand why the eldest brother left him, he was surprised, and looked at the eldest brother with a questioning face, the family affairs have not been qualified to participate since he returned home again, so he will be puzzled by the eldest brother's abnormal behavior today.

wanted to see some clues or hints from the eldest brother's eyes, but Zhen Jiang was disappointed, because she didn't get any results from the eldest brother's eyes, so she had to walk behind her mother again.

It wasn't until the sisters left one after another that Zhen Yu walked in front of his mother, and whispered while giving a salute: "The county order and the county lieutenant seem to be going to take action, and now the outside of the house is full of officers and soldiers, and they have also gathered crossbowmen to guard outside!" ”

The two girls were taken aback, and they all changed color, and Zhen Jiang looked even more anxious, and said, "What are they doing here?" Do you really want to destroy my Zhen clan! ”

Zhen Yu's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know yet!" ”

"When did you get around? How many people are there? Mrs. Zhen's expression instantly regained her composure and looked at Zhen Yudao.

"There are a lot of soldiers, at least half of the county soldiers have been dispatched."

Speaking of this, Zhen Yu paused for a moment and said, "As for the time of the siege of the mansion, because the child was preparing in front of the mansion before, and it has been an hour since he came here to inform his mother!" ”

"I see."

Mrs. Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of banter, and she sneered in her heart, but she said unhurriedly: "I don't know what Yu'er has to say?" Is the county order going to do it? ”

She believed that her son must be the same as her own opinion, with his scheming that day he could scatter 'Erlang' and 'Sanlang' away, and today he can't see any clues, it is absolutely impossible, according to this, he must have come to probe his own tone, to make me feel at ease, not to take away the power of his head of the family.

"According to the child's expectations, the county order must have made this move because of the war in the south!"

"The war in the south? How's the war going? ”

Zhen Jiang lightly covered his mouth, becoming more and more anxious: "It won't be Deran, Deran is ......" His eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and he looked at the eldest brother pleadingly, hoping to understand the recent situation of that person from his mouth.

"This brother is just a guess, and I don't know the specific situation, but judging from the scene outside the mansion at this time, Gongsun Chan must have lost the battle." Zhen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "However, this defeat is not enough to make the county commander make up his mind to deal with the Zhen family, so he will surround the Zhen family, presumably he has to wait!" ”

"What are you waiting for?"

Zhen Jiang is a clever and wonderful person, if she is on weekdays, of course she can think of what the county order is waiting for, but she has already messed up, so she has this question, and her heart is full of Liu Lan at this time, in his heart, Brother Deran is missing a hair, he will also be heartbroken, not to mention that his life and death are unknown now?

"Of course, it's to wait for the next battle or Gongsun Chan's complete defeat!"

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

Outside Longcuo County, Bohai County, Liu Lan's big tent in the army.

There are only three people in the tent, Liu Lan in military uniform sits on the main seat, and Xu Chu stands behind him, while Tian Yu sits on the bottom, at this time Liu Lan's right hand fingers frequently hit the Ai Ji in front of him, every time he knocks, it will make Tian Yu's heart chuckle, trembling his heart, although he knows that Deran Gong is waiting, waiting for an appropriate time to give Longcuao County a fatal blow, but such an aimless waiting will make people extremely nervous, he would rather fight at the moment, than wait here.

This is the second day that the army came to Longcuo, after successfully camping yesterday, Liu Lan issued an order to besiege the city today, but did not order an attack, for a small county like Longcuo, it is obviously a fool's dream to defend the city.

Now is the time for the two sides to compete in their will, as long as the open jaw is the first to sit firmly and show his feet, then he will grasp the fleeting opportunity and give the opponent a fatal blow. (To be continued.) )
