Chapter 802: Zhao Yun Confesses the Lord
Although Liu Lan arrived in time to reverse the situation on the battlefield, but that's all, as far as the battle situation is concerned, Gongsun Chan lost this battle again, but it was the same as yesterday, not so completely defeated, there is still a battle strength, otherwise, at this moment, how can Gongsun Chan still have the heart to gather the generals to raise the account, run early, and retreat to the right Beiping.
The atmosphere in Gongsun Zhan's camp was extremely depressing, and the morale of the two consecutive defeats almost reached a low point, and compared to the generals in the handsome tent of the soldiers, whether it was Gongsun Fan, or Shan Jing or even the young general Tian Yu and even Zhao Yun and others were all silent, on the other hand, Liu Lan and the others looked at Gongsun Zhan who was sitting on top with a gloomy face.
After a while, Gongsun Zhan, who was worried, sighed and said, "If it weren't for Deran coming to save me, I would be almost embarrassed." After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head, seeing that the morale of the soldiers who were still like a rainbow yesterday did not expect that the situation would change suddenly in the blink of an eye, and the morale was close to a trough.
The low voice made everyone in the audience shy, especially Gongsun Fan, Shan Jing and others, as the so-called 'king humiliated the minister's death', the lord's defeat today, they naturally blamed themselves, although the lord was thanking Liu Lan at this time, but he wanted to slap them in the face, one by one, ashamed, eager to find a crack to get into.
Although Gongsun Fan was also saddened by the loss of nearly half of Bai Ma Yicong, he understood the truth of 'defeat is not discouraged', got up and comforted him, and said: "Big brother, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, not to mention that there is only a small defeat today, don't worry too much!" ”
Even Gongsun Zhan's morale was low, not to mention the soldiers in the battalion, who had not yet reached the crown, and even a little childish Tian Yu knew in his heart that if the lord continued to be so low, there would be no need to fight this battle. got up and comforted Gongsun Fan together, and said, "The actions of a wise man are also." Turn misfortune into blessing, and succeed because of defeat. The lord should regain his confidence, and he will be able to fight again in the future! ”
Liu Lan did not comfort the 'big brother' Gongsun Zhan like everyone else, but instead got up from the kneeling seat at the bottom and said, "Bo Qi, this battle is not right, why didn't you send infantry archers to charge when fighting for the boundary bridge, but instead let the white horse charge with fine horses?" On the letter, Liu Lan had already told him not to charge lightly and with infantry archers. When the melee with the first dead soldiers, and then use Bai Ma Yi to break its two wings, go around behind the enemy, and completely maximize the advantages of the light cavalry, so that the first battle can determine Jizhou, but it backfired, Gongsun Chan still chose the same desperate tactics as in history, although Bai Ma Yi did not die as the whole army was killed because of Liu Lan's arrival, but more than half of the losses were made. But it also made him break his muscles and bones, if the battle of Jizhou was defeated this time, it would be completely devastated, and it was only a matter of time before he lost his life again in the Book of Changes.
"Deran. It's no good to talk about it at this point! Now the morale of our army is low, if you hadn't arrived in time to give Yuan Jun a fatal blow from the rear today, don't say that Bai Ma Yicong only lost more than half. Even for my brother, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to meet my brother again! Gongsun Chan clenched his palms, and while his bones rattled, he said extremely unwillingly: "Now our army has lost more than 10,000 yuan. I don't know if it's time to fight or make peace! Although his face was calm when he said this, he could not accept the harsh reality in front of him.
Could it be that he didn't even summarize the battle. Lessons learned? Seeing that Gongsun Chan didn't dare to face the reason for the failure, Liu Lan was depressed for a while, and he didn't know what to say, but listening to his next words, it was clear that he had the intention to withdraw the troops, thinking of the Zhen family's sacrifice for himself, and the people in front of him actually had the idea of returning home as soon as he failed, which immediately made him feel like he was on the verge of nine abysses, and now he must dispel the idea of Gongsun Chan withdrawing his troops, otherwise he would really be killed by him: "How can Bo Zhan say this? The younger brother is here to help his brother, as the so-called mourning soldiers will win, not to mention the ancient battle array with less to win more is too numerous to mention, the elder brother must not say that he will retreat, so as not to disturb the morale of the army! ”
"But......
Gongsun Zhan's hesitation made him see hope, and he took advantage of the situation and said, "Can Bo Jue know Yuan Shao's strength and configuration?" ”
"This ...... This ......" After a long time, Gongsun Zhan said: "There are about 60,000 troops, and most of the troops are crossbowmen!" ”
Liu Lan suddenly changed color with sorrow, and hated him and said: "Brother Su Zhibing, how can you be so rash and rash this time?" Don't you know that knowing yourself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles? He turned to look at Gongsun Zhan and the generals, and said angrily: "Brother, you should kill this villain!" Liu Lan only thought that someone provoked Gongsun Zan to start a war with Yuan Shao without proper preparations, but he didn't know that this battle was his best to override public opinion and insisted on going his own way.
When Gongsun Chan's generals heard this, their faces were like a rainbow after the rain, and the colors were very good-looking, and Gongsun Chan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he sighed: "This time I came to Ji in ......a hurry, but I was in a hurry" Shaking his head helplessly, he said: "What can I do!" Although the voice was heavy, there was a hint of hoarseness, but there was a little helplessness and regret in the hoarseness.
Liu Lan didn't need to ask anymore to see that sending troops so hastily was the result of Gongsun Zhan's insistence, but it was pointless to say more, and it was imperative to find a way to reverse the situation of the war, and he offered advice: "Brother, it's not too late to make amends, but fortunately, there is one person in the big tent who knows Yuan Shao very well!" Looking at Zhao Yundao: "Zilong has been with Yuan Shao for a long time, so he must know the details!" ”
Zhao Yun came out of the queue and saluted the two of them: "Gongsun Taishou, lord!" ”
Zhao Yun called himself the lord? This made him stunned for a while, the development of things was beyond his expectations, but it was reasonable, but what made him a little surprised was that Zhao Yun would admit the lord in such a situation, although he was happy in his heart, he just nodded to Zhao Yun with a smile, signaling that he could speak.
And Zhang Fei and Xu Chu were like monks in the second place, they glanced at each other, revealing expressions of unknown reason.
Zhao Yun said eloquently: "The lord sent Yun to come on the same day, but he hated Yun for not being able to ......."
Hearing Zhao Yun's self-blame, Liu Lan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "General Gongsun knows that Zilong has done his best, so Zilong doesn't have to blame himself." ”
"Lord Xie, Gong Sun Taishou!"
After Zhao Yun saluted again, he said: "Yuan Shao has gathered more than 10,000 people to take the opportunity of seeking Dong for Bohai to be too punctual, and since the number of Han Fu's army and horses of 30,000 should be 40,000 warriors, and he has recruited more than 20,000 new soldiers in Jizhou, so Yuan Shao's army and horses should be in 60,000 people." But they can be called elites, and they can fight. There are only 40,000 people in Jizhou and the original Bohai! ”
After thinking for a while, he continued: "And among its elites, there are more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers. They are ruled by: 'Wen Chou, Gao Lan, and Cui Juye, and the song under the command of Zhang Jaw is called the Euphorbia, 3,000 people, and the first forward of Ju Yi that General Gongsun sees today is also 3,000 people, and the rest of the sword and shield soldiers, bow and crossbow soldiers, etc., are under the control of Yan Liang's generals! ”
Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Gongsun Zhan's eyes immediately lit up. Confidence was regained, and he said: "Although there was a small defeat today, the victory or defeat is still unknown!" He said loudly: "Come to someone, set up a banquet, today for Deran and others, tomorrow it will be Yuan Shao'er to fight the male and female!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Lan got up early and walked out of the tent, and the cold morning in early autumn could not change his habit of morning exercise. But today he got up too early, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the morning star on the eastern horizon. Daystar is also known as the Star of Hope, and later generations have said that seeing Daystar is like seeing hope, Liu Lan silently cheered himself up in his heart at this moment. Looking forward to and hoping for a big victory in this battle against Yuan Shao!
He was about to dance the sword, but he suddenly dispelled his thoughts at this moment, ignoring the attentive patrol soldiers and just wandering aimlessly, but he was thinking about the battle of the Pan River in the romance. So as to avoid risks and completely turn the battle around.
But it's a pity that Romance didn't write much about this battle. The abacus of the past and the present can't be played, and he can only help Gongsun Chan through the experience of leading troops to fight in these years. If this is the case, then first of all, Yuan Shao must be forced to continue the field war with Gongsun Zhan, if he is allowed to retreat to Yecheng, this battle Gongsun Chan will definitely lose, but will this happen? After all, Yuan Shao is now winning two games in a row, and it is when the soldiers are in their prime, at this time, with his personality, how can he miss the opportunity to defeat Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop and choose to shrink on defense? ”
Since he is sure that Yuan Shao will definitely seek to take the initiative, how will he attack next, and where will he strike? Thinking of this, he was at a loss again.
I suddenly thought of opening my jaw, but I subconsciously shook my head, self-comfort should not be, at that time he had 10,000 ways to defeat me or capture me alive, if there is really a ghost plot to destroy himself once and for all, why bother so much?
He was extremely reluctant to hope that the things he suspected in his heart would not happen, and not only that, but he also wishfully hoped that one day he would take one of the four pillars of Hebei into his account.
While thinking about it, Liu Lan found that he actually walked to the camp where Zhao Yun was at some point, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards his camp.
Zhao Yun's tent was very simple, just a low table and a blanket, and there was a wooden box in the corner of the tent where his personal belongings were placed, and next to the wooden box stood his blade gentian spear.
Zhao Yun returned from drinking from the banquet, slept until dawn, suddenly heard a sound outside the tent, sat up in a daze, and listened carefully to the voice of the soldiers outside the tent.
After some inquiry, it turned out that the lord had come. When marching and fighting against soldiers like them, he never took off his armor, and after tidying up his appearance, he went out of the outer tent, gave a military salute, and said, "The last general will meet the lord!" ”
Liu Lan stepped forward to help Zhao Yun up and said, "I woke up Zilong so early, don't blame it!" The two sat down one after another, and said with emotion: "Since Ruoyang and Zilong parted, I miss it every day, this time I saw Liu An in the plains, and I was very happy to hear that Zilong went to Xiangping as a brother, and then set off to Zhending to find a brother, but I didn't want to pass by my brother, and I didn't see you again until this moment!" ”
"The lord personally went to Zhending to find Zilong?" Zhao Yun was flattered, and the eyes that looked at Liu Lan were not only moved.
Liu Lan said with a smile: "Sister Ling is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" Then he repeated the situation when they met Zhao Yun that day.
Zhao Yun knew his own affairs, of course he knew what kind of personality his sister was, and after listening to him, he was relieved and said: "The sister is reckless, so the lord laughs!" ”
Zhao Yun didn't want to bother with Zhao Yu's matter, so he changed his words and said: "It's hateful that Yun Zai Wuji misheard the rumors, but the main father was in front of Gongsun Zhan's Beiping tent, and he chased him all the way, and he knew that it was a rumor!" ”
Thinking of the benevolent duke who saved him from the Zhen family that day, he asked: "Lord, Yun Zai is extremely ruffian and framed, if it weren't for the housekeeper of Zhen's mansion to break the siege, it would be difficult to escape the evil of imprisonment, but unfortunately Yun asked the name of Engong several times Zhen Bu housekeeper just excused himself, and said: 'If you thank you, you can thank the lord.'" ’”
Peeked at Liu Lan and continued: "Yun wants to come, Engongding has a lot of connections with the lord, and please let the lord know, Yun will be grateful in the future!" ”
"Haha, is there anything else?" Zhen Jiang told him about Zhao Yun early in the morning, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so grateful to Dade, and said to him: "Zilong knows that although he didn't visit Zilong this time, he talked about a marriage!" ”
Zhao Yun hurriedly congratulated, if it was placed on weekdays, this would be a happy thing, but today it is extraordinary, the lord did not care about something, and when his mind was turning, he suddenly blessed his heart, and asked a little uncertainly, "Could it be that saving Yun Engong is a daughter?" ”
Liu Lan nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly!" Then he looked at Zhao Yun meaningfully.
Zhao Yun saw that what he expected was good, and saw that his eyes were full of deep meaning, so he boldly said: "Don't you save your brother and your father-in-law, or your mother?" ”
Lang laughed a few times, Liu Lan nodded and admitted, "It's the eldest lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Jiang!" ”
"The lord values love and righteousness, and he doesn't want the lord to be a heroine among women, if the lord has a wife, it is really gratifying, gratifying!"
Zhao Yun, who had relieved the doubts in his heart, suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Zhen Bu can let Zilong Xie Brother Xie, I see." When he said this, he wanted to bow down again.
Liu Lan pretended to be annoyed and pressed Zhao Yun in front of the table, and said: "Zilong, your eldest brother Zhao Hong called me a brother back then, and you are his brother, I treat you as a dear brother, just as the so-called family doesn't talk to each other, you and I don't have to be like this!" ”
"Lord...... Elder brother...... Brother! Zhao Yun was excited in his heart and wanted to say something, but in the end, what he said was just a long and long brother.
"Okay, Zilong......"
At this moment, the voice of the little colonel suddenly came from outside the tent: "Can De Ran Gong be here?" ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Lan heard the sound and replied.
"The Lord invites the generals to raise their accounts......"
The moment the herald's words sounded, the drum of the general in front of Gongsun Zhan's military tent was beaten, and the two went out of the military tent before and after, but they didn't expect that a small talk had reached the time of the morning meal, and Gongsun Chan chose to raise the account during this time period, and his intention was self-evident, and after a full meal, he fought to the death with Yuan Shao.
A big war is about to be staged again, and this time Liu Lan said that he would help Gongsun Zhan get back, but the current battlefield is no longer comparable to the aliens, yellow scarves and even white wave thieves that Liu Lan has encountered over the years, and his opponent is not Yuan Shao, the lackey of Pegasus, but the masterminds behind him!
The battle of Jizhou has just begun! (To be continued.) )
