The news of Yi Jingcheng's destruction soon spread to Gongsun Xu's camp, and there was a dead silence in the camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone is waiting for Gongsun to make a decision. For Gongsun Xu, some changes came too quickly, and he didn't expect that he hadn't waited for the army of the difficult building, but Yi Jing had already broken the city.

Now to kill it again is the courage of the horseman. The first way he thought of now was to quickly retreat to Jixian County and organize a new defensive battle relying on the grain and grass of Jixian County.

However, Wang Dang and Sun Qing poured cold water, "Yi Jingjian's city camp can be described as the most difficult car pool in the world, but it can't be defended in front of the Jizhou army, relying on their cavalry to defend a Jixian County without much preparation, how can they resist Yuan Shao's army?" ”

Liu Yong, who was beside Gongsun Xu, also looked gloomy, "Big brother, I went to Jixian County to ask for help before, although there is a reason why the second master (Gongsun Fan) is disheartened and unwilling to send troops, but the unavailability of the military heart in Jixian County is also a key." Neither the generals nor the non-commissioned officers are willing to fight this battle, and we are afraid that we will not be able to change this situation if we go now. ”

Gongsun continued to sigh when he heard this, "Why did my great Youzhou foundation fail so much. The military heart is not available, and the people's heart is not to me, so if we want to surrender, Yuan Shao can't do it? ”

Le Ping said, "Big brother, it's better to lead the troops to Hedong." The second brother has two counties over there, with a population of two or three hundred thousand, and if we go to Hedong, our brothers can do a career together. When the time comes, let the second brother go to the table, and as the eldest brother, the court will definitely give the eldest brother a big reward. ”

Gongsun continued to speak, how could the lord of my dignified Youzhou be willing to succumb to Tian Jing. But it's not easy to say clearly, just silent.

Liu Yong saw Gongsun Xu's intentions and said, "Since we have reached a contract with Lord Nanlou, why don't we lead our troops to avoid the grassland for the time being?" ”

Gongsun Xu smiled miserably, "The previous covenant was because Nanlou still had a place to use us, but now I am like a lost dog in the situation, how can Nanlou tolerate me." ”

Liu Yong said, "Big brother is wrong, although Youzhou is lost, but your identity as the heir of the Gongsun clan is still there." Whether Yuan Shao can hold Youzhou is not yet known. And he will definitely go south to the Central Plains in the future, and if he is defeated at that time, we may not have a chance to return to Youzhou. Lord Nanlou has always been far-sighted, and may not be willing to make this profitable investment? ”

Gongsun Xu felt that Liu Yong's proposal could be considered, but the key was to see the reaction of the difficult building. There is another thing to worry about, that is, what if Nanlou betrays them to Yuan Shao?

Liu Yong hadn't thought that he would have such a consideration before, and now Gongsun Xu said that he was also a little worried. However, after discussion, everyone felt that it was very unlikely. First of all, surrendering Yuan Shao will not bring any substantial benefits to Nanlou, because Yuan Shao's attitude towards the Hu people is more like his ancestors in the Central Plains, and he pays more attention to the great defense of Yidi, and it is absolutely impossible to believe in the Wuhuan people; Secondly, Nanlou and Liu Yarrow formed an alliance and swore an oath to the Great God of Baishi, the people of the grassland have always paid attention to Chen Nuo, if they do not keep their word, they will be punished by the Great God of Baishi, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold on the grassland in the future. Third, although Youzhou is defeated, I am afraid that there are still pro-Gongsun Zan forces who are ready to move and help Yuan Shao kill Gongsun Xu, wouldn't it be a plain enemy, but it is really a wise man.

After the discussion was over, they immediately took action. Gongsun Xu led Liu Yong and Wuhuan people to the north, and first joined the difficult building. If you can replenish supplies in Jixian County, it is best to recruit soldiers and horses from the Gongsun clan, if not, you should immediately go around the north of the city and return to the grassland to wait for the opportunity. Wang Dang and Sun Qing led the Black Mountain cavalry back to Jizhou and joined Zhang Yan. If there is an opportunity in the future, the two sides will work together to attack Yuan Shao. Li Kang and Leping are now in a dilemma, if they leave Gongsun Xu, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to become brothers; If you go to the grassland, what about the second brother Tian Jing.

Gongsun Xu saw their difficulties and said, "Your brothers originally grew up with me and were like brothers, but this time you traveled to the Central Plains with Tian Jing and came back, and I also found that your heart is actually in Hedong. Big brother is not difficult for you, and my current situation is difficult to give you any chance, so you should go back to Hedong. ”

After hearing this, the two of them didn't know what to do. just gave a deep bow and said, "Big brother, take care, third brother, you have to take care of big brother." Our brother returned to Hedong, and once he had the opportunity, he would definitely command soldiers and horses to help his eldest brother recapture Youzhou. After that, the two got on their horses and took more than a hundred injured reserve white horses to follow Wang Dang and Sun Qing south.

************************************************************************

Tian Jing is arranging an ambush with Zhang Yan here to deal with Yuan Shao's enemy who came to the aid of Julu. I didn't know that I had waited for many days, but there was no news. Tian Jing began to worry a little about whether Yuan Shao had seen through his plan and had to attack Yi Jing.

On this day, I suddenly received news from Wang Dang and Sun Qing. When Tian Jing heard this, he thought of the fact that Gongsun Chan died in a high-rise building in history, so he guessed that Gongsun Chan was dead, and Yi Jing was afraid that he would not be able to hold it. It was really unwise for Gongsun Xu to storm the camp at this time. Now he didn't know how many of them lived or died, Tian Jing couldn't wait to rush to Youzhou immediately.

Who knew that at this time, someone outside said that the military advisor Hu Cai had returned. Zhang Yan and Tian Jingzheng didn't know about Hu Cai for many days, and when they heard that he was back, they hurriedly invited.

Hu Cai had already inquired clearly, and Tian Jing was now in Zhang Yanjun's army. first saw Yan Shuai with a salute, and then gave Tian Jing a salute. "Hu Cai has met General Zhengbei."

Tian Jing hurriedly helped, "General Hu doesn't have to be polite, we are all a family now, and it is convenient for everyone to be commensurate with each other, so it is good to talk to each other." ”

Hu Cai hurriedly said, "Hey, there is still to be respect and humility, and when Yan Shuai is in the future, we will all be subordinates under the command of General Zhengbei, so why is it so excessive?" ”

Tian Jing saw that he couldn't be persuaded and was not polite, and the three of them sat down separately before asking about Hu Cai's recent behavior.

Hu Cai said, "I went to Runan these days and met Liu Pi and Gong Du. If you want to say that they will return to the general of the expedition to the north. I didn't know that such a big thing happened in Youzhou, but I asked General Tian to go to Julu to preside over the overall situation. ”

Tian Jing sighed and said, "Hey, it happened suddenly, if I hadn't thought about it that day, Youzhou wouldn't have been defeated." He told Hu in detail about the cause and effect of the matter.

When Hu Cai heard this, he said, "The general doesn't have to mind so much. After all, it was his grandson Chan who lost the hearts of the people in Youzhou that led to today's defeat. Even if there is no general mediation, Jizhou will definitely come up with another way to break through Youzhou. The death of Youzhou had already laid the groundwork when Gongsun Zan planned to kill Liu Yu that day. Gongsun Chan was so happy with his achievements, he didn't care about the soldiers, thinking that he could conquer and rule Youzhou by force, which was originally the opposite. Today's death can only be regarded as his own fault. However, General Tian is here, obviously hoping to unite with Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao, and now that Yuan Shao occupies Youzhou, he is bound to go south, but it is the intention of the general to do so.

Tian Jing smiled bitterly, "General Hu is right, it's just that I'm from Youzhou and have a lot of feelings for my old friends and colleagues, so I can't rest assured for a while." ”

Hu Cai said, "General Tian is kind-hearted, and it is a blessing for us to be under the command of the general in the future." Wang Dang and Sun briskly came to report that it would take two days on the road, and now General Tian rushed to it again, but he was afraid that the overall situation in Youzhou had been decided. Instead, I'll go to Youzhou and use our eyeline there to find out the news, and if the general's sworn brothers are safe, I'll find a way to take them back to Montenegro. General Tian couldn't easily risk his life. ”

Tian Jing said, "If I go, I can meet Yuan Shao openly, and if they are captured, I can rescue them." So it's better for me to go. ”

Hu Cai thought about it and made some sense, so he said, "Since this is the case, then I will arrange for someone to find out the information first, and it is not too late to know the exact news, and General Tian will go." Now there is a big matter to discuss. ”

Tian Jing said, "What's the matter? ”

Hu Cai said, "Liu Pi and Gong Du were originally in the line of my Yellow Turban, and later occupied Runan, and there were more than 10,000 people. Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor and made them generals. Now the imperial court has issued an order, Cao Cao led the army Chen Bing Yuzhou, Wucheng Hou Huiji Taishou Sun Ce attacked Jiujiang from Jiangdong, Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei attacked Guangling from Xuzhou, Jingzhou Liu Biao Chen Bing Jiangxia threatened Shouchun, and Yuan Shu was defeated sooner or later. I persuaded both of them to surrender to the general, and they were willing. It's just that the general is not in the court now, and there is no chance to send troops to exterminate Yuan Shu, so they want to vote for the general but have no way. If the general is here, he can ask Ying to exterminate Yuan Shu, and Liu Pi and Gong will definitely be like-minded. ”

Tian Jing was also overjoyed when he heard it, but as Hu Cai said, if this matter is to be done, it must be planned early. And whether he can send troops or not doesn't seem to have the final say, it depends on whether Cao Cao is willing or not. Thinking of this, Tian Jing said to Hu Cai, "You ask someone to bring a letter to the two generals." I will rush to Runan in two months at the latest, and if I can't make the trip, the two of them can temporarily join Liu Bei in Xuzhou. ”

Hu Cai was a little hesitant when he heard this, "General? ”

Tian Jing said, after all, if I want to send troops, I have to bypass Cao Cao's defense. Whether he is willing or not is still in the middle of the two. However, Liu Bi and Gong Du came to vote with good intentions, but I didn't say anything. How can there be empty words and vernacular that make people like. General Hu had a way to transport 100,000 stone of grain and grass to bypass the defense of Jizhou and send it to the camps of the two generals Liu and Li.

Hu Cai said, "I have a lot of people who are good for business, but there is a way to get through the relationship and transport grain south." It's just that I don't know where these 100,000 stone grain came from? ”

Tian Jing smiled, "I was about to get it from this giant deer city." ”

Zhang Yan was taken aback when he heard this, "General Mo Feitian intends to attack the giant deer?" ”

Tian Jing sold Guanzi, "This matter still has to fall on the five thousand soldiers and horses in Youzhou", and when Tian Jing told him about his plan, both of them felt that this plan was very good.

Gongsun Zan also proposed to formally lead the people to return to the imperial court, and Tian Jing promised to return to Luoyang as soon as he returned to Luoyang, and immediately met Emperor Xian to report the matter. The three of them discussed in detail the future arrangements until late at night. Early the next morning. Hu Cai led his henchmen to the north to inquire about the news, Tian Jing finished his two days on the road to Youzhou, and Zhang Yan began to prepare for the retreat of the army.
