A bloody battle, killing nearly 10,000 Yuan troops, the generals Guo Yuan, Su You, and Wei Yuanjin were killed in battle, on the other hand, the Northern Army lost more than 2,000 people, the cavalry under Gongsun Zan lost more than 3,000 people, and the general Wen Ze died in battle, which is still within the acceptable range.

In fact, their results were even more brilliant, but Tian Feng suddenly led his troops to rescue, and they didn't have time to collect the prisoners, so they could only retreat first.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan also wanted to invite Zhang Zai and others to the city, but Zhang Zai refused, if it was still early today, who knows if Yuan Shao would be annoyed and angry after losing several generals, and the whole army went out to attack the camp of the two.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he also felt that Zhang Zai's worries were reasonable, so he invited him to enter the city at night, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and the two agreed on a time to enter the city, and then returned separately.

Back at the camp, Xue Rengui and others arranged for the wounded and returned to their tents one after another to wash the blood stains on their bodies.

Zhang Zai didn't do it himself, Yuan Jun who rushed to his side, all of them were stopped by his personal guards, even if they broke through the defense line of the personal guards, with Dian Wei guarding them, no one could get close to Zhang Zai.

As soon as Zhang Zai entered the big tent, Guo Jia came to look for Zhang Zai.

The two sat separately, and Guo Jia asked, "I don't know what the results of today's battle were?" ”

Zhang Zai told Guo Jia about the casualties, and Guo Jia kept calculating the difference in strength between the two sides in his heart after hearing this, and then sighed: "It seems that we are going to have a good fight with Yuan Shao." ”

"yes, it looks like this battle is going to go on for a while." Zhang Zai also sighed.

Now Yuan Shao still has at least 1230,000 people in his hands, just with their 70,000 people, they may not be able to defeat Yuan Shao, and this place is also close to Jizhou, who knows how many parts Yuan Shao still has in his hands, in case he can't annex Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, then there will be no second time if he has such a great opportunity to annex Youzhou.

"Fengxiao, can everything be arranged?" Jang Jae asked.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the lord to give an order, absolutely foolproof." Guo Jia nodded.

It was night, the sky was hazy, Zhang Zai left Qi Jiguang to guard the camp, and he took Guo Jia, Xue Li and other four people to the mansion of Gongsun Zan of Yijing for a banquet.

Entering the city, Gongsun Chan had obviously already explained to the guards at the city gate, and when he saw Zhang Zai coming, he immediately opened the city gate and welcomed Zhang Zai in.

Gongsun Zhan's mansion was built in the middle of Yijing, like a small castle with high walls and iron gates, although it was not magnificent, but it was also extremely luxurious.

At this time, Gongsun Chan and his main generals were already waiting in front of the mansion, and when they saw Zhang Zai coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

Zhang Zai was taken aback by Gongsun Zhan's enthusiasm, glanced at Guo Jia, and then walked forward quickly, bowed to Gongsun Zhan and said, "There is Brother Lao Bo waiting here." ”

Gongsun Chan returned the salute, and then took Zhang Zai's right hand and introduced Zhang Zai into the mansion.

Everyone sat down, Gongsun Chan raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you Zide for coming thousands of miles to help, I salute you." ”

Gongsun Zhan's generals also raised their glasses and toasted Zhang Zai.

Zhang Zai raised his glass, looked at Gongsun Chan and said, "You and I have a relationship, why bother with these false gifts." ”

After a glass of wine, Gongsun Zhan looked at Guo Jia and Luo Cheng beside Zhang Zai and asked, "Zide, who are these two?" ”

For some reason, Zhang Zai always felt that Gongsun Chan was very curious about Luo Cheng, or rather cared about it, and wanted to inquire about Luo Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.

So Zhang Zai said: "This is the military division under the account, Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, as for Luo Cheng, that is, the young general who went into battle today, is the cousin below." ”

When Gongsun Chan heard that Luo Cheng was Zhang Zai's cousin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept looking at Luo Cheng, and then asked, "I don't know if your cousin has ever been married?" ”

Zhang Zai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly, he didn't expect Gongsun Chan to pay attention to Luo Cheng because of this, and then Zhang Zai suddenly thought of Zhao Yun again, Zhao Yun in history would not have such treatment, but Zhao Yun should have refused, so he was not reused by Gongsun Zhan.

"I really don't know." Zhang Zai shook his head, then turned his head and asked Luo Cheng, and said, "Blatantly, do you have a marriage match or a marriage contract?" ”

Luo Cheng shook his head and said, "My father didn't mention Cheng's marriage before he died. ”

I only heard Gongsun Chan laugh loudly: "Since there is no marriage contract in the blatant, it will be easy to do." ”

"There is still a daughter under a certain knee, twenty-eight years old, and she is not yet married, I don't know what happens to Xu and Blatantly?"

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's words came out, Zhang Zai and Guo Jia both frowned, and then the two looked at each other, they didn't expect things to develop to such a point.

Luo Cheng on the side didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Zhang Zai: "It's all up to my cousin." ”

Gongsun Chan asked, "Zide, do you see?" ”

Zhang Zai was also a little hesitant, and secretly glanced at Guo Jia, but saw Guo Jia nodding slightly, indicating that it was acceptable.

However, Zhang Zai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Bo Jue, you have a problem for Zai, so let's wait until Yuan Shao is retired and Youzhou is pacified, how about it?" ”

"It's abrupt, okay, just follow what Zide said, come, drink."

A wine banquet did not change because of this episode, and everyone returned happy.

On the way back to the camp, Zhang Zai and Guo Jia were parallel, and somehow, they suddenly remembered Gongsun Zhan's actions on the battlefield today, as well as Gongsun Zhan's proposal to marry his daughter, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "Does Gongsun Chan have to die?" ”

Zhang Zai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had no grudge against Gongsun Chan himself, and even had some friendship, he thought that he could be ruthless and deal with Gongsun Chan, but after today, he was a little unbearable.

Guo Jia felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and from Zhang Zai's tone, he couldn't bear it, this is not the master in his mind, it is good to value love and righteousness, but with this kind of character, if you want to go on the hegemony, you will eventually harm others and yourself.

Guo Jia has followed Zhang Zai for a period of time, and he also has a little understanding of Zhang Zai's character, knows how to make good use of people, especially to discover talents, a pair of eyes is more accurate, and none of the talents discovered by Zhang Zai himself are mediocre.

It's just that Guo Jia always feels that Zhang Zai lacks a domineering spirit and a ruthlessness to achieve the goal.

Anyway, for the sake of the great cause of the lord, this wicked man is decided!

Guo Jia met Zhang Zai's gaze, did not dodge or dodge, and said affirmatively: "Gongsun Chan must die!" Not only Gongsun Chan is going to die, but even Gongsun Xu is going to die! ”

"Must ...... Do you do that? Zhang Zai saw Guo Jia's firm gaze, his eyes gradually lost focus, as if asking Guo Jia, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Isn't it okay to spare their lives?"

"Please also ask the lord to focus on the overall situation!"

"Hehe......"

Zhang Zai's eyes gradually cleared, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, now he has the whole and the state in his hands, and hundreds of thousands of people under his command all depend on him to live, and the soldiers under his command also want him to control it, and he can't tolerate him to have the slightest kindness of a woman.

Soft-heartedness is a taboo, and he doesn't understand that after he experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, he no longer has the so-called kindness in his heart, but he didn't expect that now he has no determination to attack Gongsun Zhan.

"Fengxiao, let me think about it." Zhang Zai directly rode his horse to speed up, and it seemed that he no longer wanted to discuss the matter of Gongsun Chan with Guo Jia.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Zai deeply, and then followed without saying a word.
