Chapter 62: To Chase or Not to Chase

In the city lord's mansion, "Big boss, let's go quickly, the Han army has broken through the south gate and is coming towards us."

Ba Tutu stomped his feet and sighed, "Hey~~~~ It's really worth the loss, I knew that I wouldn't come here to occupy any city, give me a calmer, what kind of system is the mess, pass me down, the first and second hundredth teams will resist the Han army for me, and the rest of the people will slowly withdraw."

The herald rushed to give the order, and the generals in the palace were still packing up the gold and silver, and they suddenly kicked it away and scolded, "I don't know what is dead, I still have time to take these useless things, hurry up and give me the whole team, if there is a slight delay, I will make your head fall to the ground, and you will bring me the prisoner and escort it away."

The generals below did not dare to pretend to be orders, so they only picked up weapons and other necessary things, and rushed to the north gate with the deputy leader.

At this time, Ying Shao, who was in prison, knew that there was a big chaos outside, and I was afraid that the Han army was attacking, although he was surprised, but he was also very worried in his heart, if the young master and others were not in a hurry to save him, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the hands of the devil.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw a team of thieves rushing over, and he was about to take someone when he opened the door, Ying Shao was dragged out of the prison and felt helpless, and followed to the front yard, but at this time, near the prison, Shan Yi and others, who were secretly waiting, saw it clearly.

It turned out that Gongsun Yan had just arrived with his troops and was known by his side, and Shan Yi calculated in his heart that if the enemy army attacked the city, it would be a big chaos, and whether it was fought or withdrawn, the vigilance in the city lord's mansion would be much lax, so he took the ten guards who stayed behind in advance and lurked in, and asked Ying Lin to see if he could get in touch with Bai Cang, and he would have a response when he saved people.

Surrounded near the prison is staring at the surrounding situation, suddenly saw a team of sergeants come to bring Ying Shao out and leave without saying a word, the mountain wing knew that the enemy was going to withdraw, and he didn't care whether there were any soldiers in the house who could fight, so he jumped out with a low shout, punched with a knife in one hand and punched the other, and instantly killed into the enemy group, and the ten guards behind him also followed when they saw it.

Originally, there were few defenders near the prison, and the chaos in the city was even more lax, and the thieves who rushed out and killed for a while were dumbfounded and did not react at all, and several people who were at the front of the center immediately flew up with broken heads and arms, and blood splashed everywhere.

"Protect Mr. Ying, follow me to the backyard" Shan Wing knew that there were definitely many enemy troops in front of him, and even if there was a big chaos, it was not something that a dozen or so people could deal with, so he shouted and flashed a quick knife and chopped over a few strong men, and fled towards the backyard with a few guards.

As soon as the men and horses were about to leave, a sergeant hurriedly came to report that "big leader, someone rushed into the back prison and rescued the hostages, and the brothers were killed and wounded heavily."

When he heard this, he shouted angrily, "Damn, rush over and take people back."

"Big leader, it's too late if you don't leave at this time, the Han army has already rushed over, and the prisoners should not be ignored" The generals on the side hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's really bad enough, come for nothing~~~~ Withdraw for me" Pulling out of the tutu is not an unreasonable person, and he is naturally not a stupid person to be able to dominate the grassland for a while, knowing that the general trend has gone, he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Ba Tutu led the team to retreat from the north gate, but the mountain wing was relaxed, the back door of the city lord's mansion was also wide open at this time, and the soldiers scattered on the street fled in panic, and when they saw this posture, they said in a deep voice, "I think we should wait here for a while, at this time the city is in chaos, and it may not be safer to go out than here."

"Yes, if there were pursuers, they should have come over at this time, until now we can't even see a single figure, it can be seen that these thieves have already fled, it is better to take a rest in this city lord's mansion" Shan Yi agreed with Ying Shao's opinion, and everyone found a hidden room to settle down.

After a while, I only heard someone in the courtyard shouting, "Mr. Ying is here, where is the mountain wing?" As soon as they heard that Bai Cang had come to find themselves and others, everyone hurriedly ran out, just in time to see Bai Cang Gaoshun rushing in with dozens of soldiers, and everyone was overjoyed to see each other.

When he came to the main hall, Bai Cang sat down and said, "I didn't expect our trip to Yanmen to be so difficult, but everyone is safe and sound, Mr. Ying is fine, right?" ”。

"Hehe, the old bones have long been used to it, and it was much more bitter than this when I turned over the hole in the mountains in the early years, it's nothing," Ying Shao said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

Shan Yi sat down in the white sky, looked at the crowd and asked, "How is it outside?" I think the chaos in the city is probably because General Huangfu has broken the city, let's just be afraid that it will be inappropriate here, so let's go out and pick it up."

"This time it is not the general Huangfu who led the team, but his general Gongsun Yan father and son, to say that this person is really good, it only took half an hour to break through the city, you must know that this pool is a border pass, such a strong city attack, even if you climb up, you have to climb for a while" Bai Cang thought of Gongsun Yan's father and son's command of the siege posture and admired.

Ying Shao nodded and said, "I have heard of this Gongsun family, it is said that it is also a big clan of my Han Dynasty, although it is not as prominent as the Eight Great Families, but the clan is also full of talents, not much weaker than other clans, and in a few years, the Eight Great Families of the Great Han Dynasty may be newly ranked."

As soon as Bai Cang heard Ying Shao talk about the Eight Great Clans, his curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly asked, "Eight Great Families?" I've only heard about it before, but I haven't really understood it yet, so today it's just Mr. Ying to tell me about it."

Ying Shaoren is old and fine, and he has lived for more years, and the knowledge in his belly is also richer, and he smiled slightly, and he just wanted to open his mouth, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and everyone hurriedly got up to check.

I saw that it was Gongsun Yan who took his two sons and his own clan brother into the city lord's mansion, and all the generals behind him followed, and there was naturally a military advisor next to him.

As soon as Bai Cang saw that Gongsun Yan and the others had arrived, he didn't care about inquiring about the eight major clans, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "General Gongsun's victory over the thieves in this battle is really gratifying, and I will congratulate the general here for his ascension."

Gongsun Yan was very happy to see that Bai Cang was so good at talking at a young age, and laughed and said, "Ding Shao doesn't have to be polite, although there are many thieves, but after all, they are a rabble, and they are all soldiers who can take this city so quickly, and when I go back, I will ask General Huangfu for credit to all the soldiers."

What he said is reasonable and well-founded, but those who understand can see at a glance that in fact, the benefits are all from their grandson family, but the people who ask for credit are different.

Gongsun Yan talked and laughed with Bai Cang, but Gongsun Du behind him was not very happy in his heart, thinking of "This Ding Yuan's adopted son just sat back and enjoyed his success, followed our army into the city, and found the city lord's mansion first, this time when he went back to ask for credit, he naturally robbed him of the credit for breaking the city lord's mansion, thinking about it, it was really angry" Although he was depressed in his heart, it was useless, who called the family Ding Yuan's adopted son, and Ding Yuan's grade was far greater than his father's, so he could only endure it first, and he snorted in his heart and followed into the hall.

Gongsun Yan and Bai Cang were polite to each other, and in the end, Gongsun Yan sat in the first place as the main general, Bai Cang sat on the lower right, and the first one on the left was the military advisor, and the generals on both sides sat down and looked at each other.

As soon as Bai Cang saw this posture, "Okay~~~ Look at the momentum on the other side, the first one will not say anything, and I don't know what I am thinking, I just lowered my head and pondered, and the eyes below were staring at everyone of them, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Leopard, Gongsun Zhao, and the three generals were also long tigers and bears.

And on his side, in addition to Gao Shun who can support the scene, he and Shanyi are only young people, Ying Shao, an old man, has not been relieved after being rescued from prison, his eyes are drooping, and he is about to fall asleep, Ying Lin doesn't even have a seat, he can only stand behind Ying Shao to fill the number, it is really more popular than people.

Think about it, if Brother Wang Zun and Brother Wang are here, that skill and style, this poke will put them all down, "I don't know where Brother Wang is now, how life and death are... No, even if you are defeated by Brother Wang's martial arts, if you want to leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to keep it, and it will definitely be fine."

Thinking of this, Bai Cang calmed down, and saw Gongsun Yan explain two words to appease the residents in the city, rectify the soldiers and not disturb the people, and so on, then looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, our army won a complete victory in this battle, but the thieves were just driven away, and now our morale is flourishing, I think we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, I don't know what you think?" ”。

Gongsun Yan wants to expand his military exploits, but the mere siege of the city can't satisfy them, if he wants to be promoted, he will have more military exploits, and it is best to be able to obtain the head of the bandit leader, otherwise it is not bad to take down the heads of one or two generals, so Gongsun Yan proposed a pursuit strategy.

"I do my best to hold on to my father, just a thief is not enough to worry about, I will raise an army to chase and kill and take the head of the bandit leader to dedicate to my father" Gongsun Du preemptively spoke, in his opinion, the enemy is not vulnerable at all, just now when he was in the city, he was robbed of his exploits by his uncle Gongsun Zhao, and the credit for breaking through the city lord's mansion was fished out by Ding Yuan's adopted son, and this time he must win this pursuit task.

Gongsun Yan laughed and exclaimed, "Okay, my son has ambition, so I ordered you to take five hundred soldiers to catch up and attack his rear road, without leaving prisoners, just cut off the head."

Gongsun Du was about to receive the order, when he suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait, although it is feasible for the general to pursue the enemy, I think it is better to investigate the enemy situation before going, otherwise I am afraid that I will be bitten back."

"What are you talking about, frustration, you tried your best to keep this battle in front of General Huangfu, and now you are scared? When the survey comes back, the enemy will run away, and I'm still chasing a fart," Gongsun Du said dissatisfied.

"I only promised in front of General Huangfu that I could take this city, and now that the city is recaptured, what I said has been hit, and if there is any loss in the pursuit, it is not expected," he replied, shaking his head.

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hahahaha, what can be the accident, the thieves are just ants, I will lead the army to chase and kill a pass, nothing will happen, even if there is any mistake, I can't blame you, you can rest assured that I will wait for my father to go back and ask you for credit, but my credit can't be given to you."
