Gongsun Yuan asked for battle, but was rejected by Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang returned to the city in one step, and Gongsun Yuan asked Bei Yan and Lun directly, "How many men and horses do you have?" ”

"We don't have military positions, where are the men under us." Lunzhi said: "But it's still okay to recruit some villagers." ”

"My father didn't give us soldiers and horses, so we recruited the villagers ourselves." Gongsun Yuan said: "As long as we make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, my father has no reason not to let us lead the troops." ”

"Actually, there is no need to recruit at all." Bei Yan said: "Childe just waits, the general and Cao Zirong fight, if you can win, it is good, if you can't win, won't Childe's chance come?" ”

Looking at Beiyan, Gongsun Yuan nodded: "But Xiangyong still has to recruit, Cao Zirong came to Liaodong, and he has many more soldiers and horses than ours in Liaodong." ”

"It takes money to recruit village warriors." Bei Yan asked, "How much money can Childe come up with?" ”

"In the past, my father gave me some playthings, but they were of little use to me." Gongsun Yuan said: "If you sell them, you can also exchange them for some money and grain." ”

"The enemy army has come to Liaodong, but I'm afraid it's too late." Beiyan said.

"What's too late?" Lun replied straightly: "Childe just give me those playthings, and I promise to exchange them all for money and food within three days." ”

Lun Zhi was willing to exchange money and food, and of course Gongsun Yuan would not agree.

He immediately said, "You can go with me now to get it." ”

Gongsun Kang returned to the city and immediately ordered the deployment of a large army to meet Cao Shuo.

The officers and men of the Liaodong Army were each given a strip of white cloth.

From generals to soldiers, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army tied strips of cloth on their heads.

On the school field, tens of thousands of Liaodong troops lined up in a neat formation, and their eyes looked at Gongsun Kang standing on the high platform without blinking.

With his hands on his hips, Gongsun Kang looked around at the soldiers and shouted: "Soldiers, you all know that Cao Zirong came to Liaodong, I treated him politely and asked the second brother to go to greet him, but he killed the second brother." ”

Gongsun Gong also has some prestige in the Liaodong Army.

Hearing that he had been killed, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army suddenly boiled, and many people raised their weapons and shouted: "Revenge!" Avenge! ”

Pressing his hands and signaling the soldiers to be quiet, Gongsun Kang continued: "I will give you white cloths, you should understand what it is for now." What we have to do is to avenge our second brother! ”

There was a look of indignation on the face of every Liaodong army.

They looked at Gongsun Kang, waiting for the order to be given.

Gongsun Kang waved his hand: "Don't say much, the whole army is ready to go on the expedition!" ”

The officers and men of the Liaodong Army shouted loudly again: "Kill Cao Zirong and avenge the second general!" ”

While Gongsun Kang mobilized the Liaodong Army and planned to attack Cao's army, Cao Shuo was still stationed in Lelang.

Cao Zhang was frozen and suffered some wind chill.

After waking up, he recuperated for another four or five days before gradually recovering.

Sitting in Cao Zhang's room, Cao Shuo asked him, "Do you feel better in the past two days?" ”

"I'm really ashamed that my eldest brother is so worried." Cao Zhang said: "It was I who disobeyed the military order first, and I should suffer some sins." ”

"I didn't say you shouldn't be punished." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that I still expect you to continue to go out as a pioneer after you recover." ”

"Eldest brother still wants me to be a pioneer?" Cao Zhang asked in surprise.

"Who else but you can be a pioneer?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Is it possible to let General Lu or General Chen go?" ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly stood up and bowed to Cao Shuo: "Eldest brother, don't worry, this expedition, I will definitely not be greedy for merit!" ”

"I have suffered a loss, and if there is another time, it is really unforgivable." Cao Shuo said: "The next crusade we have to fight is Gongsun Kang, he is different from Han Zhong. I'll give you five thousand soldiers and horses, and you don't have to break him, just drag him down." ”

"If I meet Gongsun Kang, I will never let him go." Cao Zhang said: "You have to drag him to death!" ”

"Sit down and talk." Cao Shuo pressed his hand.

Cao Zhang then sat down.

He sat down, and Deng Zhan came to the door.

Standing at the door, Deng Zhan said: "Young Master Qiyu, I just got the news that Gongsun Kang is leading the army to kill here, and it should be possible to reach the border of Lelang in two days." ”

"We were about to crusade against him, but we didn't expect him to come first." Hearing that Gongsun Kang was coming, Cao Shuo grinned and said to Cao Zhang: "You have something to do now." ”

He commanded outside the door: "General Deng, call General Zhu." ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were actually waiting at the door, and when they heard the order, they immediately entered the house.

When they came to the house, the two of them asked, "Do you have any instructions for the two of us?" ”

"We were about to crusade against Gongsun Kang, but he himself came first." Cao Shuo said: "I plan to let Ziwen be the vanguard again, and this time you two will lead the army to meet the battle." ”

"Don't worry, we will do our best to help the third son!" The two of them answered.

His eyes fell on Cao Zhang's face, and Cao Shuo said: "You go and select 5,000 men and horses first, and set off immediately to meet Gongsun Kang." ”

Cao Zhang stood up and responded: "Order!" ”

said goodbye to Cao Shuo, and Cao Zhang left with Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.

Cao Shuo then stood up as well, walked out of the room, and instructed one of the guards, "Please invite Guo Gong, General Lu, and General Chen to my residence." ”

The Guardian answered.

Back at the residence, Cao Shuo didn't have a long time, Guo Jia, Lu Bu, and Chen arrived here.

Entering the room, Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo: "Dare to ask Gongzi, is there anything important?" ”

Looking up at the servants, Cao Shuo said, "Sit down first." ”

After the servants sat down, they all looked at Cao Shuo.

"Have you heard of Gongsun Kang leading the army to meet the battle?" Cao Shuo asked them.

"Not yet." Guo Jia and the others glanced at each other, and he said to Cao Shuo: "The scout brought the news, and he must have communicated with the prince first." ”

"Just now I got a rumor that Gongsun Kang came with his troops, and he has ordered Ziwen to lead the vanguard to meet the battle." Cao Shuo said: "As long as Gongsun Kang is captured or killed, the war in Liaodong can also end." ”

"Childe let the third son be a pioneer again?" Guo Jia asked.

"He has suffered losses for disobeying military discipline before." Cao Shuo smiled indifferently: "Let him fight this time, it must be safer than the last time." ”

"In fact, Gongsun Kang doesn't have any ability, and he is far from his father." Guo Jia said: "With the ability of the third son, as long as he can find an opportunity, he may be able to succeed in one battle." ”

"I don't expect him to make it all at once." Cao Shuo said: "I only hope that he can hold back the enemy army and win the opportunity for the army to completely annihilate the Liaodong army." ”

"Does Childe already have a plan?" Guo Jia asked.

"I'm going to divide the army into three ways." Cao Shuo replied: "General Lu and General Chen each led a road of soldiers and horses, and I personally led a road, taking advantage of Ziwen and Gongsun Kang to fight and encircle the Liaodong Army." ”
