Chapter 573: Upper, Middle, and Lower
"Wuji County was captured by the Jizhou Army. We've got it. Remove. Evacuate."
Tian Kai's eyes widened. His eyes were full of horror.
He fought on the front lines. The Wuji County in the rear fell quietly. What a horrible thing to do. However. Tian Kaigang shouted. I didn't have time to turn the horse's head around. Gan Ning has already slain his horse. Midair. Sen Han's sword light flashed away. The expression on Tian Kai's face. Frozen instantly. No more changes. The sparkle in his eyes gradually faded.
The next moment. Blood stains on the neck. Completely cracked.
Burst.
Blood splattered. Tian Kai's neck. Blood splattered like a spring. Constant outflow.
Syllable.
Tian Kai fell to the ground with a bang. A life.
Gan Ning carries a knife. While fighting. While yelling, "Tian Kai is dead. Those who descend do not kill."
Roar. Ringing in the city.
Accompanied by a siege of cavalry. The soldiers who followed Tian Kai. They were already frightened. They saw Tian Kai killed. Hear the words of surrender. Quickly put down the weapon in your hand. Surrender on your knees.
The whole process. No more than two quarters of an hour.
This battle. Rush to the end.
Wen Chou had a boring expression on his face. Come to Gan Ning's side. smiled and said, "General Gan. This battle was not good. I haven't started fighting yet. They all surrendered."
Gan Ning smiled. Lang Sheng said: "There is a war. There are some in the back. Tian Kai is nothing but a shrimp soldier and crab general. Gongsun Chan in the back is the real big fish."
Looking at the Youzhou soldiers who were detained. Gan Ning waved his hand. He commanded, "Collect the troops."
Immediately. Hundreds of cavalry escorted the Youzhou soldiers to the barracks in the city. Closed doors. Soon it opened again. The county seat has returned to calm.
Tian Kai was killed. The news came out quickly.
At this time. Gan Ning has already sent someone to Xiaquyang County to report the news. Waiting for Tai Shi Ci's army to arrive.
End of June. Tai Shici led a large army from Xiaquyang County. Except for Tai Shi Ci. Wang Lei also led the army with Shi A, Lu Bu and Dian Wei. In addition to this. Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others who are sitting in Yangshi County. Also mobilized the troops stationed in Yangshi County. Rushing to Wuji County.
……
ZHONGGUO. Beiping County.
This place. It borders Zhuo County, Youzhou.
After Gongsun Chan led the army south. The base camp of the Youzhou Army was placed in Beiping County. He is seated in Beiping County. Waiting for Tian Kai's news. However. What Gongsun Chan didn't expect was. Good news didn't come back. Instead, the bad news came first.
Tian Kai's entire army was wiped out. Gongsun Chan didn't eat for a whole day and a night.
Sit in the tent. Silent.
The following officials see this. My mind began to waver.
Morale. have been affected.
Guan Jing is a long history. He is also Gongsun Zhan's confidant and favorite minister. All the time. It's all about Guan Jing taking care of the barracks. Morale in the army is shaky. Guan Jing knew that the crux of the problem was Gongsun Zhan's body. Guan Jing brought Gongsun Zhan's second brother Liu Weitai, third brother Li Yizi, and fourth brother Le He Dang. Let's come to Gongsun Zhan's big tent.
After the four salutes. Take a seat in the tent.
Gongsun Zhan looked haggard. Asked, "You came to me. What's new?"
Guan Jing said: "Lord. We are here for Tian Kai's business. Tian Kai was defeated and killed. This is already a thing of the past. Immerse yourself in failure again. It doesn't make sense anymore. The war continues. Please cheer up. Dispatch troops to fight Wang Lei for a decisive battle."
Gongsun Chan smiled. The expression is bitter. Suddenly asked, "Guan Jing. You said you were against Wang Lei. Isn't that wrong. This move. Isn't it the right one?"
Brush.
Guan Jing's face changed greatly. Gongsun Zhan's heart was shaken.
See here. Guan Jing hurriedly made a look. Let Le He Dang and others persuade.
This time. Gongsun Chan must be stabilized.
Le He thought about it. Said unhurriedly: "Big brother. It's not that you're wrong. It's Tian Kai who is useless. The eldest brother used the chess pieces planted next to Tai Shici. The best conditions have been created for Tian Kai. However. Tian Kai still failed. It's not Big Brother's fault. It's Tian Kai's mistake."
Guan Jing nodded. Echoed: "The second general is reasonable. Under the command of the Lord. There are also generals such as Shan Jing, Yan Gang and Zhao Yun. The lord is determined. Unity is strength. I will definitely be able to defeat Wang Lei."
Li Yizi smiled slightly. Continued: "Big brother. I also think the fourth brother's words make sense. Now is the critical time to fight with Wang Lei. We retreated with our army. was completely defeated by Wang Lei. I want to enter Jizhou in the future. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. It is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity now. Take down Wang Lei in one go."
Liu Weitai squinted his eyes slightly. The gods are mysterious. Said slowly: "Big brother. When Tian Kai went to war. Celestial display. Big Brother will win. However. The reason for the failure. It was caused by Tian Kai. I watched the sky at night. Seeing the stars in the direction of Jizhou is faint. Looks like something big is going to happen. At this time. It was the time to counterattack Wang Lei. You can't miss it."
Several brothers of Gongsun Chan. All of them are persuaded with all their might.
They are all brothers of Gongsun Zhan. and Gongsun Chan tied to a rope. Glory and glory. One loses all.
Therefore. I hope that Gongsun Chan will get better and better.
Gongsun Chan listened to the words of several people. There was a sparkle in his eyes. Gongsun Zhan's gaze looked at Liu Weitai. said: "Second brother. Are you sure?"
Liu Weitai patted his chest and said, "Can I deceive my eldest brother. Eldest brother. This is an opportunity."
Gongsun Chan listened. Immediately laughed.
Take a deep breath. Gongsun Chan was just about to speak. Suddenly. Stomach rumbling.
Gongsun Chan didn't eat for a day and a night. I've been hungry for a long time.
Guan Jing is good at observing words and feelings. Immediately commanded: "Someone. Prepare meals for the lord." The order was given. The soldiers outside the camp immediately went to prepare. Less than a quarter of an hour. One dish after another was served. There is also chicken broth, rice, and more. It's all on Gongsun Chan's desk. Gongsun Chan is also not ambiguous. I started moving with my chopsticks.
Eat and drink to your heart's content. Wait for the soldiers to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Gongsun Chan looked at Guan Jing. asked: "This battle and Wang Lei clashed. Tian Kai was defeated. Next. What are we going to do?"
Guan Jing replied: "Back to the lord. There are three strategies for lowly positions: upper, middle and lower. for the lord to choose."
Gongsun Chan raised his eyebrows. Waving his hand, he said, "Quick. Tell me about it."
I heard that Guan Jing has three strategies. Gongsun Zhan's heart was naturally very happy. He thought to himself: Guan Jing said so solemnly. There must be complete certainty.
Guan Jing said: "The best policy. The lord sent an army. Quietly bypass Wuji County. Go to Xiaquyang County for a sneak attack. Capture Xiaquyang County. Cut off the back road of Tai Shici's army. The back road is broken. Tai Shi Ci will definitely be defeated."
Gongsun Chan thought about it. "What about the middle strategy?"
Although. Sounds good. Really have to be executed. It's not easy.
Quietly captured Quyang County. Almost impossible.
Guan Jing replied: "Zhongce. The lord led the troops to fight Wang Lei. Assassins were sent at the same time. Assassinate Wang Lei's generals and officials. Disturb the morale of the Jizhou army. Take the opportunity to defeat Wang Lei."
Gongsun Chan listened to it. Somewhat tempting. But after thinking about it carefully. Still shaking his head.
Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate the great Confucian of Jizhou. caused an uproar.
Since that one thing. Wang Lei mobilized the forces under his command. Protect all the officials and generals under your command. I want to assassinate the officials under Wang Lei again. It's not easy. What's more. Gongsun Chan knew that Wang Lei had Shi A to train assassins. On the means of assassination. Wang Lei is even more powerful.
Once he set a precedent to assassinate Wang Lei's officials. I'm afraid Wang Lei will also be unscrupulous.
When the time comes. It was he who suffered.
Gongsun Chan asked, "Long history. What about the next step?"
Guan Jing fell silent. Facial expressions. It became very solemn.
Liu Weitai said: "Guan Changshi. What exactly is the next policy? No matter what kind of advice it is. You have to let the big brother think about it. Weigh it up and decide whether to adopt it."
Guan Jing sighed lightly: "Make a decision. is using Zhao Yun. lure Wang Lei's army."
"How to seduce." Gongsun Chan asked.
Guan Jing said: "I sent someone to investigate Zhao Yun's situation. Zhao Yun's teacher Tong Yuan is in Ye County. And he is also Wang Lei's elder. Originally. After Wang Lei caught Zhao Yun. but let Zhao Yun go. It's because there is a certain relationship between the two parties. Since Zhao Yun and Wang Lei have this relationship. Let Zhao Yun lead an army from Beiping County. Attack Wuji County in the south. With Zhao Yun's leadership ability. Definitely won't lose to Wang Lei easily. As long as Zhao Yun lures out Wang Lei's main force. We quietly sent troops. The army that surrounded Wang Lei. There is no doubt about victory."
Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up. Already heartbeat.
Zhao Yun and Wang Lei's matter. Gongsun Chan has heard of it.
Former. Gongsun Chan sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to attack Wang Lei. However. Zhao Yun didn't attack Wang Lei first. Rather, he attacked the Wuhuan queen. Attack Wang Lei again.
This thing. Gongsun Chan has always kept it in mind.
After listening to Guan Jing's suggestion. Gongsun Chan stood up. Commanded: "The upper, middle, and lower strategies of the long history. In my opinion. The next policy is the best policy. You go to herald. Let Zhao Yun command an army of 6,000 as the vanguard. Go south and attack Wuji County."
"No."
Guan Jing nodded. Go ahead and schedule it now.
Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang and others saw this. All relieved.
As long as Gongsun Chan's fighting spirit is still there. It's all good to say.
