Chapter 161: It's hard to take on a big task
Jizhou County
A long black dragon rolled up into the sky, a banner with the word "Gongsun" written on it was held in the hands of the soldiers, and a long procession of dragons entered the city gate, and the city had changed hands.
Countless iron hooves galloped on the streets, shouting loudly to maintain order, at first after breaking the city, it was not peaceful, a large number of foot soldiers from the border of Youzhou began to plunder uncontrollably, at first Gongsun Chan did not pay much attention to these, after all, all the soldiers were killed in blood all the way, and it was natural to take some loot, and then this trend began to expand, from robbery to massacre, ***.
In a luxurious courtyard in the city, Gongsun Chan has become more and more arrogant since he got Youzhou, and he does not care about the people, and when he heard that Yuan Shao united Wuhuan and Xianbei to attack, he didn't take it to heart at all.
At this time, Gongsun Zhan was only in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, such as today's chaotic situation, after winning the huge Youzhou, his eyes gradually looked south.
"In any case, we must continue to advance, since Yuan Benchu had the idea of killing me, he should be prepared to be annexed at any time, and there is no need to worry about the state and Xianbei, how can my son and grandson be so easy to let these unpopular characters enter the back of Youzhou, as for the east road, although Xu'er is less capable, but Youbeiping is my own home, the city is high and the walls are thick, how can it be broken? I want to come to the northwest, Xianbei Dog has already fought with my son, and I will never retreat until the victory or defeat is divided......"
In the room, Gongsun Zhan was dressed in a satin dress, looked at the map and discussed with the surrounding generals, paused for a moment, looked at the generals, and spoke again: "...... I know that you are worried about Youbeiping, whether Xu'er can hold it, he has been with General Yan for a few years, and he has also grown, so he should not let us down. β
The words 'General Yan' were mentioned in the words, and Yan Gang on the right straightened his chest and arched his hand: "The young prince has often been in the ranks with the last general over the years, and the last general can teach all the things that can be taught. β
"Well, I am naturally relieved that you taught it."
As he spoke, the guard knocked on the door, and then was let in, and handed a piece of cloth to Gongsun Zhan, and after a while, he laughed and slapped it on the table: "Yuan Shao's gas is exhausted!" Hahaha-"
"What's the matter?" Zou Dan looked at the cloth silk that was pressed on the table: "But the eldest prince brought good news?" β
Gongsun Zan stroked his beard and nodded: "My son is really powerful, half a month ago, when the senior cadres were not aware of it, he crossed Xiawu Mountain and attacked Yanmen County, and the heavy troops controlled the center, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in the state could not come out." Speaking of this, he poured his wine and took a sip: "The most ridiculous thing is that Kirbineng, who thought that my wolf would refuse to defend the city, and there were 20,000 horsemen, ambushed in the two-armed mountains, and only seven or eight thousand people escaped...... Ha ha...... When you enter the Han Dynasty, you don't look at the mountains, rivers and lakes carefully, is it really on the grassland, and you can see it at a glance? Ha ha...... It deserves to failβ"
The laughter stopped, and then he poured the wine again and raised it: "As I said just now, since the rear is worry-free, then attack Yuan with all your might, don't give Yuan Benchu a chance to breathe!" β
"Yes!" When the generals got up and raised their wines, someone made a different voice: "My lord, but we are now hundreds of miles deep into Jizhou, and it is difficult for the logistics to keep up with the ......."
Behind the long case, General Baima waved his hand violently: "If you can't keep up, you will collect grain locally, and my second brother Gongsun Fan, it's time to come over, first transfer a batch of emergency from him." β
*****************
Under the same sky, in different directions.
Fucheng.
On the towering city wall, Yuan Shao looked at the black smoke and chaos faintly visible in the distance, without a trace of anger on his face, and after staying for a while, he walked down the city wall and returned to the mansion in a carriage.
The sky was dim and obscure, and in the main hall of the meeting, a huge sheepskin map was hung on the wall, which marked the situation in the north, except for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and others who were stationed outside, Yuan Shao surrounded a group of strategists, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Feng Ji...... Everyone's view of such a situation is different.
This made Yuan Shao in a dilemma.
ββ¦β¦ Since everyone has their own opinions, it is better to discuss them beforehand. In the light, Yuan Shao retracted his gaze and sat down with a shake of his robe: "Recently, I have clashed with this white horse many times, only to know that the soldiers under his command are indeed fierce and incomparable, but now the four-way army is attacking, Gongsun Zan was dragged by me in Jizhou, once he receives the enemy behind him, he will inevitably retreat in a panic, that is the time for our counterattack, the art of war is one victory, two exhaustion, three and decline, he will definitely lose this battle." β
Guo Tu looked at the map that was hanging: "Where does the lord plan to counterattack?" If we continue to deceive and lose, the morale will become lower and lower, and we will soon become a real failure. β
In the first place, Yuan Shao got up and walked to the bottom of the picture, looked up at the name of a place above, and said in a low voice: "It's ...... the boundary bridge" turned around and brushed his wide sleeves, and laughed: "You think I only arranged these four moves?" Don't forget, Liu Yu's old ministry is still hidden in Youzhou...... It's almost time to make a sound......"
While still talking, Yan Liang, who was known for his ferocity, strode in from the outside, covered in a bloody breath, and arched his hand: "Lord, there is news just now that Yanmen County has been seized...... Kirby Neng fled back to Xianbei after being defeated by Gongsun all the way, and it seems that he is still being chased and killed......"
In the hall, the strategists whispered. Over there, the smug figure froze with a smile.
Phew-
The long case was kicked down with a hurry, and Yuan Shao glared angrily and shouted: "...... How could Gao Gan be so incompetent, and the dignified county said that if he was taken away, he would be taken away? Kirby can ...... Barbarians are barbarians, rubbishβ"
"General Gao is also careless, Gongsun Zhi's 40,000 foot soldiers crossed Xiawu Mountain and attacked Yanmen County, as for ......" Yan Liang glanced at the long case that was knocked down, "As for Kirby, he can really waste a little ......"
Yuan Shao took a deep breath, sat down, raised his arm, and shook his fingers in the air, "Now that the four roads have gone to the two roads, I hope ...... There can be good news over there. β
β¦β¦
Right Beiping County, the one who was taught by Yan Gang is now experiencing war.
The beacon fire spread to the head of the city, the arrows kept coming, the embarrassed figure in armor was escorted by the guards and flew down the city wall, rushed along the road towards the house, to the backyard, where no one was allowed to enter or leave, there were guards who came to stop, was intercepted by the surrounding soldiers, the blood-stained figure strode in, drew his sword and cut off the copper lock on the door.
"Mother!" Gongsun continued to push the door in, and it was pitch black inside, and he saw a woman sitting there on the edge of the bed with her hair disheveled, her body thin.
"Continued...... Continuation ......"
The figure in front of the bed heard the familiar voice, stood up suddenly, stumbled past, the light from outside shone in, and seeing that it was the face of her son, the woman cried out, and reached out to caress the rather green face: "Why are you here...... Did your father tell you to come and pick up your mother? β
The words were urgent, and his eyes looked at the door behind his son from time to time.
"No......" Gongsun Xu shook his head, grabbed his mother's wrist and walked out: "Father got Youzhou, and now he is fighting with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, the child is now coming to take his mother out of here to find his father, the Wuhuan people outside are coming, and the city is almost unstoppable." β
"Can't hold it......" Liu Shi was a little hesitant, and kept nodding: "Then let's go...... Go to your father...... The Wuhuan people called, and asked him to come back quickly......"
Soon after, the south gate opened, and a team of men and horses with their families quickly fled from the burning beacon fire and the boiling fighting city, and rushed towards the south, Yi County (Yi Jing).
On the way, when they received the report of the battle of the valley in the west, the young man looked back at the abandoned city, bowed his head and fell silent. In the carriage, Liu rolled up the curtain to comfort him: "It's okay...... Your father will forgive, after all, you have not been a slave, you do not have that savage cruelty. β
"Yes...... Mother...... After all, the child is not as good as the elder brother......" Gongsun Xu's voice was very small, only he could hear it.

West to Ning County, towards the direction of the enemy's water, the war horse is still running, Kirby Neng, the lock slave kept receiving the news from the scouts, after a short rest, he began to run for his life again, after a fight, Kirby Neng's arm was injured, his face was pale, and now he finally recognized the cavalry under the command of the white wolf behind him, how scoundrel and terrible it was.
A little farther away, a troop of 10,000 horsemen is about to arrive.
