Chapter 194: A plan within a plan
A cold wind blows across the rolling hills.
The sun has not yet risen, the golden morning drum has been beating from the end of the distant mountain, there is a brief chaos between the mountains and fields, the resting Youyan soldiers came out of the forest, after the buzzing subtle conversation, quickly gathered, the generals of all levels shouted to integrate the team, above them, not a steep hillside, the figure that had been sitting all night also stood up at this time.
The slightly cold morning breeze blew by, the wolf velvet gently caressed, and Dian Wei, Li Ke and Zhao Yun who bandaged their noses behind them came over and arched their hands: "Leader, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are already outside..... Our people have already passed the word on......"
The words were talking, Gongsun Zhi did not make a sound, overlooking the open area below, a long line of troops from this side towards the rear of the mountain, and when the words behind him were almost finished, he beckoned: "Bring Gao Lan and Gao Huai, and we will go out to meet Yuan Shao." ”
The eastern glimmer spread out from the clouds, and the more than 2,000 Black Mountain cavalry and more than 1,000 people led by Shan Jing waited silently in the mountains below the hillside.
Before dawn, Li Ke walked in front with a torch, Gongsun Zhi walked in front of the team left, most of his body was bandaged, he looked quite miserable, his eyes swept over everyone, he was silent for a moment, and spoke: "..... I'm a little surprised that so many of you are staying, but it's not really useful for so many people. ”
"First ..... Lord..... What you say is out of sight. After patting his chest, he was covered in wounds, and there was blood on his armor, "When the old lord was alive, he never said anything to the brothers, and besides, these were the duties of a soldier, and the lord said how to do it." ”
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and smiled: "This is not the time to show loyalty, when I finish the work later, my cavalry is running fast, and you are a group of foot soldiers, you will drag your feet." ”
"This ....." Shan Jing was a little embarrassed, the surrounding soldiers laughed, and a voice called out for the lord to relieve the siege: "Don't worry, my lord, we still beat the cavalry of Xianbei and Wuhuan on the grassland..... Although I didn't catch it, I definitely ran fast! Suddenly, many people around responded to the harmony: "Yes, yes, if you really want to run, we will definitely run faster than the mother-in-law soldiers in Jizhou." ”
"yes, it's a big deal, I'll throw my weapon away....."
"What are you talking about, it's just a fight!"
In the midst of the noise and shouting, Gongsun Zhixu pressed his palm, and the voices of the crowd gradually stopped, and their eyes swept over them with seriousness: "It's not faster than anyone else, you all immediately evacuate with the brigade, this is my order." ”
Shan Jing looked at the young coach in front of him for a while, before he nodded, and did not drag the mud and water, and beckoned behind him: "Follow me!" As the team left, he turned around, arched his hands, and said in a rather stiff tone: "Lord..... We're waiting for you at Nguyen Pass....."
After saying this, he led the team to leave with the large army. Here, Gongsun watched them walk to the back of the mountain, and he turned over the back of his horse and pulled the reins: "Then..... I'll meet Yuan Shao. His gaze swept over the cavalry, as well as the two Gao Ran, who had been thrown on horseback, and galloped out of the mountains.
In a moment, the Black Mountain cavalry roared towards the back of the leader in front of him, and after galloping out of this mountain field, his vision became wider, and at the dawn of lead green, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou stretched out on the field, and the whole atmosphere was dull and depressing.
Yuan Shao looked at the outline of the distant mountain, squinted slightly, and looked at Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Yuan, Tian Feng, Guo Tu under his command.... The others whispered: "What do you say Gongsun Zhi wants to see me?" ”
"His demise is imminent, probably because he wants to .....talk about peace," Guo Tu echoed, Tian Feng next to him shook his head: "My lord, in Feng's opinion, I may make a fuss about Gao Ran and Gao Huai..... Maybe he wanted to buy some time. ”
The wind blew across people's faces, Yuan Shao frowned slightly expressionlessly, and clenched the reins in his hand. Apparently he was vaguely aware of the difficult problem he was about to make.
Tian Feng also frowned, frowning even tighter: "No, no, no...... But what's wrong....."
When he pondered, the sky lit up slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled from the front, hundreds of feet away, at a safe distance that arrows could not cover, the Black Mountain, which was most likely to grow into one of the strongest in the world, rode over, and then, slowed down his speed, and lined up in formation.
Then a number of riders stepped forward and walked out a few steps to stand out, Yuan Shao, Yan Liangwen Chou and others saw that they were all familiar, especially Yuan Shao saw that among the several people, the white figure, the originally cold face was slightly moved, and it was too embarrassing to be chased by the other party in his own military formation, I am afraid it will be difficult to forget in this life, as for the others..... I can't name them, and those who may be standing in front of them are obviously not incompetent.
At this time, there was a change in the front, the number of horses moved left and right, and in the innermost, a faint figure rode out on horseback, carrying a long sword at his waist.
White wolf, Gongsun Zhi.
The single rider slowly came out, kept coming forward, and several riders behind him followed with their respective weapons, and when the autumn sun was exposed and the sun was shining, Gongsun Zhi arched his hand towards Yuan Shao in front of both the enemy and me: "Yuan Benchu, dare to come out and speak." ”
The sound was not loud, but it was still clearly transmitted. Feng Ji hurriedly stopped: "Lord, don't go out, the white wolf has always been cunning, be careful that he secretly releases cold arrows." ”
Hahaha –
Under the big line, Yuan Shao laughed, and when he retracted, he waved his hand violently: "If I don't go out, won't I be embarrassed in front of all the soldiers and soldiers." After a pause, he rode out of front of the formation, and the fierce generals around him, such as Yan Liangwen and Chou, also followed, and the two sides approached, and the distance of almost ten zhang stopped before stopping.
"Gongsun stops ......" Yuan Shaole crossed the reins, looked at the figure in the middle, and pressed the emotion in his heart to kill first and then quickly: "You want to return Gao Ran and the others?" ”
"Indeed!" Gongsun stopped half a step forward, it was the first time he had seen this short-lived northern overlord so closely, and then he hooked his finger behind him, and when he was brought by the two bound figures, he spoke again: "However, it is not to give it back, but to make a deal." ”
"Buying and selling?"
"Yes, it's buying and selling." Gongsun Zhi nodded, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth: "This deal depends on what Yuan Jizhou thinks, if you want to look at the two of you, then retreat thirty miles." If not, I will kill them in front of your generals and clean up some useless subordinates for Yuan Jizhou. ”
As soon as the other side opened his mouth, he mentioned the word "sale", but where is the sale, here, Yuan Shao's face appeared again, his muscles twitched slightly, he had never regretted one thing, if he didn't come today, Gongsun Zhi would kill or return Gao Ran, and the two had nothing to do with him, and right now, the conditions put forward by the other party were obvious.
Dare to attack the past, Gongsun Zhi will kill Gao Ran and Gao Huai to show the generals, whether they can catch up with each other at that time is still two words, but it will definitely bury a shadow in the hearts of everyone who does not care about the life and death of his subordinates.
If he didn't attack, although he saved Gao Ran and the two of them, but let go of the white wolf in vain, he was obviously unwilling in his heart, and he added a strong enemy to his side.
The battlefield was quiet, and in front of the Yuan army in the rear, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Tian Feng and other strategists were stunned for a long time, it was the first time they had seen such a scoundrel, and Tian Feng had been staring at the figure of the white wolf in front of him and frowning and thinking carefully, always feeling that something was wrong. After a while, Gao Ran and Gao Huai were gagged, and they were thrown to the ground with a "woo-woo..... sound, and the unsheathed sword was pressed against each other's necks.
Gongsun Zhi's voice came word by word: "Have you thought about it?" Yuan Jizhou. ”
"Good and vicious..... Yan Liang stepped forward with a golden-backed broadsword: "Lord, for the sake of the generals, it is inevitable that the generals will die in battle, just die, don't let go of Gongsun Zhi, the evil wolf, and escape." The rest of the surrounding generals also echoed, and the murderous and ferocious aura was faintly rising, and they were actually ready for battle.
Yuan Shao naturally thinks much more than a simple general, and not caring about the life and death of his subordinates will damage his reputation is one of them, and it is the most important thing to make those who want to defect to him have concerns.
Although he is resourceful, his rarely decisive character is exposed at this moment, and Gongsun Zhi also takes advantage of his weakness, and from time to time he persecutes and disrupts his thinking.
"Yuan Jizhou, it's not too early, make a decision."
At this time, Tian Feng, who was in the rear, stretched his brows, jumped out of the battle quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord, Gongsun Zhi's plan, it's not Gao Ran, he's delaying time-"

At the foot of the southwest mountain, the dense figures finally descended the foot of the mountain, stepped onto the plain, and after a little rest, they ran quickly to the east.......
