In the third year of Chuping, when the year was in turmoil, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu finally brazenly launched an attack on Gongsun Zhan, the general of Du Liao Zhonglang, and gathered all parties, Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 troops were dragged in the northern Xinjiang, and Liu Yu suddenly killed, even if Gongsun Chan had been prepared for a long time, but for a time it was cloudy, and Liu Yu conquered several cities one after another, and the morale of the Youzhou army was victorious, but the Gongsun army was a little depressed, and it disappeared for a while.

It is also thanks to Gongsun Zhan's preparations, Liu Yu asked Gongsun Zhan to go to Daijun to discuss matters several times before, and Gongsun Chan guessed that Liu Yu was ready to attack him, so he built a fortress in western Liaoning, consolidated the defense, prepared grain and grass, and prepared to fight with Liu Yu, and the contradictions between the two sides had already intensified.

In fact, before this, the contradiction between the two has been superficial, Liu Yu advocates forgiveness, especially in the strategy of treating foreign people, Liu Yu governs Youzhou, treats the people well, tolerates Yidi, Youzhou is praised inside and outside, in the past few years, there are more than one million people who have taken refuge in Youzhou from all over the country. Liu Yu believes that the first thing to govern the people is to reassure the people and love the people, and I have to admit that now Youzhou is known as the granary of the north, on a par with Jingzhou, with sufficient grain and grass, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, which is indeed Liu Yu's credit, although this person is not good at military, but he is skilled in internal affairs.

On the other hand, Gongsun Chan is very different, Gongsun Chan intends to emphasize that force is the key to survival in troubled times, and his attitude towards foreign races is completely different from Liu Yu, but he has some imagination with Cheng Dong, but Gongsun Chan is more ruthless, paying attention to killing all rather than prisoners, which is why Gongsun Chan once intercepted and killed the envoys sent by Liu Yu and Wuhuan, so that the two sides completely tore their faces.

In fact, there are reasons for Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards Wu Huan, one of which is that Gongsun Chan is a military general, and if he wants to accumulate military merits, he has to fight, and the foreign Wuhuan is the best object, which determines Gongsun Zhan's attitude, and the other point, that is, Gongsun Chan was born in the Gongsun family, in fact, he also has barbarian blood, when Gongsun Chan was young, his mother died tragically under the iron hooves of the Wuhuan thief, and the Wuhuan thief is also considered to be incompatible, such a contradiction is almost irreconcilable.

Gongsun Chan disobeyed Liu Yu's orders many times, and Liu Yu went to the court to impeach Gongsun Chan. And Gongsun Chan was naturally not far behind, and impeached Liu Yu on the table, saying that Liu Yu deliberately withheld military rations, in case of a mutiny, the consequences would be unimaginable, and both sides had their own reasons, and at that time, the imperial court was first controlled by eunuchs, and then by Dong Zhuo, how could he have the heart to take care of the affairs of Youzhou, as for later, Dong Zhuo wished that they had a contradiction, so naturally he would not help anyone, and Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan could only solve the problem by themselves, so there was today's war.

Besides, on this day, Liu Yu finally led the army to the small city built by Gongsun Zhan, and at this time Gongsun Zhan only had more than 1,000 horses around him, most of them were either to collect grain, or were dragged in the north by Qiu Liju, to be honest, Gongsun Chan was not defenseless, but he couldn't imagine that Liu Yu, who intended to look down on him in the march and battle, could attack the city so quickly, and the spies he sent to contact the army were afraid that they had not gone far.

In the general's mansion, Gongsun Chan sat on the big chair with a gloomy face, Gongsun Fan Tian, Yutian Kai, Guan Jing and others sat down, but their faces were like ashes, and no one spoke for a long time, and finally Gongsun Chan couldn't bear it: "Everyone, so far, Liu Yu has come to the city, can there be a plan to break the enemy?" ”

Everyone was silent, Tian Yu and Tian Kai were silent when they passed through Guan Jing, a thousand people against an army of 80,000, this is not suspense at all, even if there are some schemes, it is not enough to face absolute force, but everyone knows Gongsun Zhan's thoughts, how to speak for a while, only Gongsun Fan sighed: "Brother listened to my words earlier, withdraw the army in the northern Xinjiang, so that there are 15,000 troops available, and it will not be like now——"

Snorted heavily, Gongsun Chan glared at Gongsun Fan with a gloomy face, so frightened that Gongsun Fan didn't dare to say any more, there was no point in complaining at this time, Gongsun Fan didn't dare to say more, just said: "Big brother, so far, brother, I can only fight to the death with my brother." ”

In the face of Gongsun Fan's statement, Gongsun Chan eased a little, and exhaled deeply: "Qiu Liju has tens of thousands of troops to loot the northern frontier, since we are soldiers, how can we look at these beasts and ignore the people in the morning, even if it is a dead end, I still have to send troops to expel the Wuhuan thieves, this is needless to say, but how to delay time now, and wait for the third brother to lead the army to help, then there will be a way to live, I really didn't expect Liu Yuxing to be so fast, as far as I know, Cheng Dong did attack and kill the Wuhuan tribe, It's a pity that Qiu Liju didn't come back to help, this old ghost-"

"General Gaoyi, we are also following the general for this-" After hesitating for a moment, Tian Kai opened his mouth: "It's just that in the current situation, I'm afraid that it is not a way to defend a small city, and my subordinates think that the lord might as well lead the army to break through, and I will contain the enemy here, as long as I rush out, wait for the lord to gather the soldiers and horses, and Liu Yu will fight to the death." ”

Gongsun Zhan's face moved, looking at Tian Kai's resolute face, he was quite moved in his heart, and just sighed: "As the commander of the first army, how can I leave my brothers and flee by myself, this matter is not mentioned, since you have no strategy to break the enemy, it is only a battle, and it is difficult to die through the ages." ”

When the words fell, he stood up suddenly, grabbed his spear and spit out violently, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, I will go to the city to see how Liu Yu is, even if it is meant, Liu Yu who wants to kill is bitter." ”

Immediately, he raised his feet and walked out, and everyone couldn't stop him, so he could only follow Gongsun Chan out of the general's mansion and climb the city wall not long after, but at this time Gongsun Jun was demoralized, how could he be confident in the face of 100,000 troops, even if he saw Gongsun Chan coming, the soldiers were silent.

Gongsun Chan ignored these, his face was no longer sorrowful, looking at the Youzhou army, just a face of tenacity, maybe it was to see Gongsun Chan appear, Liu Yu rode out of the Youzhou camp, and looked at Gongsun Chan from a distance, but his expression was satisfied: "Brother Bogui, you and I have been dealing with each other for many years, I admire your determination to take out the external humiliation, if you are willing to go out of the city and surrender, I will never kill you, when you can let you grow old, you see how it is, it is also to avoid the creature Tu Tai, and kill in vain." ”

Snorted, Gongsun Chan was proud of Liu Yu's unspeakable malice, and looked up to the sky and laughed sharply: "Liu Youzhou, you and I have reached this point, don't pretend to say these nonsense anymore, my Gongsun Chan has also been fighting for many years, and has been fighting all his life, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death, he is trapped today, only to fight to the death, it's a big deal that you cut off my head, and you want me to surrender, that's really a fool's dream, and I'm not afraid of the world's heroic jokes——"

In fact, Liu Yu knew that Gongsun Zhan would say this, and he would not shed tears if he didn't see the coffin, but Liu Yu still had to make a gesture, and sighed leisurely: "Gongsun Bogui, what's the pain, you and I are only suffering from the people, now Youzhou is in good weather, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I can't let you destroy this situation, if you know the way to calm the people, I am willing to hand over Youzhou to you, but it's a pity——"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to fight, you will fight, there is nothing to say-" Gongsun Chan took a sip, he couldn't get used to Liu Yu being so pretty, he went to a big bow, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow violently, although it was more than three hundred steps apart, but it was still so frightened that Liu Yu stopped talking, and hurriedly retreated a little, seeing this, Gongsun Chan laughed, which made Liu Yu angry and ashamed for a while, but he stopped saying nothing and returned to the camp.

Since this time, the morale of the Gongsun army has increased slightly, and there is some spirit between actions, but compared with the army outside the city, it is not as good as it after all, but it is also better than the previous idea of waiting for death.

Besides, Liu Yu left, Gongsun Zhan and everyone looked at the Youzhou camp, for a while, Gongsun Chan suddenly laughed: "Everyone, you see, it's not that you can't fight, although Liu Yu has an army of 80,000, but he doesn't know how to use troops at all, these soldiers and horses are east and west, each divided into a large battalion, if my guess is right, I'm afraid that these people come from all over the place, Liu Yu has never unified these miscellaneous armies at all, if I lead the army to charge, these military horses can't take care of each other, and there is a lack of unified deployment, It is quite possible to clash with each other, trample on each other, perhaps-"

Looking out of the city, the 80,000 people outside the city are crowded, the battle flags are fluttering, like a dark cloud, but if you look carefully, these flags seem to be a little different, although the city is a water, but as Gongsun Chan said, three thousand people in an army, five thousand people in an army, leaning on each other, but divided into several large camps, and some soldiers on both sides will curse, it is clear that they are not all the way.

This Liu Yu is a good hand at handling government affairs, but it is not good to lead troops at all, there are no generals who are good at communication, so many people and horses can not be suppressed by others, more than 80,000 people, there is no unified moderation, basically according to the belonging of the past, 3,000 people, 5,000 people are stationed together, there is no deliberate deployment arrangement at all, maybe Liu Yu feels that he has countless military horses, and Gongsun Chan is not proportional, this battle is equal to no suspense, one person can drown Gongsun Chan with a mouthful of spit, so he has not considered these, and there are no good soldiers under his hands, Naturally, no one will give an opinion, and this will be so.

It's just that all this falls in the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, who is good at fighting, but it is a big loophole, Liu Yu has a large number of people and horses, and the orders are different, once there is a commotion, the front army does not see the rear army, and it is very possible to trample on each other, so Gongsun Chan has the idea of having a team, but this idea also has difficulties, after all, there are only more than 1,000 people in the city, and there are at most 800 horse troops when they go out, which is indeed too little.

Tian Yu smiled bitterly, he also saw this loophole, and had to admit that Gongsun Chan did have a set of battles, but thinking about his manpower, he had no hope again, and gritted his teeth: "General, my subordinates think it is not appropriate to take risks, it is better to wait for dark, ask General Gongsun Yue to lead an army out of the West Gate to feint, and the general will go out from the North Gate, kill a bloody road, and go to the north to join the army and make a post-"
