Chapter 69: Surrender

Passing through the county.

The remnants of the soldiers from all walks of life were defeated, and they rushed back one after another, carefully counting the soldiers and horses, and 50,000 soldiers and horses went out, and finally only more than 35,000 soldiers and horses remained, and among the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lost, some were killed by the Beiping army, some were captured, and those who escaped halfway through, and the lost grain and grass baggage were countless.

In addition to these, what also distressed Yuan Shao was that nearly half of the euphorbia he had built was lost, and the main general Zhang He was also captured.

For Yuan Shao, this can be regarded as the heaviest defeat since he led the army.

Fortunately, the high walls of the county seat are thick, and the grain and grass are sufficient, which is enough to hold on, so Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are the enemy troops coming from?" Yuan Shao still couldn't understand the sneak attack of Gongsun Zhan, and he didn't know why 3,000 Baima Yicong and more than 10,000 Beiping troops suddenly fell from the sky.

"According to the investigation of the horses, the enemy army filled the river with stone bags in the narrow part of the riverbed upstream, raised the riverbed, and then waded across the river." Tian Feng replied.

Yuan Shao was silent, and asked for a long time: "Gongsun Zan has always been brave and unscrupulous, and most of his subordinates are mediocre, who is so clever in his strategy, could it be Liu Beihu?" ”

"No, according to Tanma's investigation, this is Gongsun Bai's plan." Tian Feng smiled bitterly.

Yuan Shao's heart suddenly felt as if he had been whipped hard, and his facial muscles twitched a few times, as if he had defeated a rooster, and muttered to himself: "Gongsun Bai, Gongsun Bai...... It's a big deal for me again. ”

He turned his head suddenly, and asked Feng Ji sharply: "Yuan Tu, you said in the past that if Gongsun Bai was recommended as the Pavilion Marquis, it would inevitably intensify the dispute between Gongsun Bai's son-in-law and concubine, why did I hear that after Gongsun Bai became the marquis, Gongsun Xu reconciled with him, causing Gongsun Bai to become more and more favored by Gongsun Zhan?" ”

Feng Ji's face has changed, Yuan Shao has always been famous for liking anger at others, if you want to recommend Gongsun Bai as the Pavilion Marquis, although he didn't let the two brothers continue to fight, but he also gave Gongsun Chan a favor, so that Gongsun Chan willingly made wedding clothes for Yuan Shao, and forced Han Fu to give up Jizhou, but he couldn't say this, otherwise he Feng Ji wouldn't want to mix under Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao saw that Feng Ji was silent, so he snorted coldly and said: "I want to see if Gongsun Bai has three heads and six arms, and can take down this county seat, now that the wind and snow are coming, I just need to stick to the road When the wind and snow come, if Gongsun Chan does not retreat, just wait to freeze to death in the ice and snow." ”

Lu Yi on the side sneered: "The Beiping army is just a group of Wuhe, Gongsun Zhan relies on the power of the white horse, as for the siege, what is the use of the cavalry?" The last general hoped to fight with Bai Ma Yicong, but unfortunately Gongsun Zhan would not dare to let Bai Ma Yicong attack the city. It's a pity that Gongsun Zan saw that he had sent Bai Mayi to attack that day, but he retreated halfway, but it's a pity that ......"

Tian Feng couldn't help but say: "According to the investigation of the Tanma, the person who stopped the Bai Ma Yi from charging that day was also Gongsun Bai ......."

Lu Yi's face froze instantly, and he said viciously after a long time: "Gongsun Bai Xiao'er, one day I will cut off his head with my own hands." ”

When he finished saying this, he suddenly shuddered inexplicably, he didn't know that Gongsun Bai, who was hundreds of miles away, also recited the words: "It's a pity, only half a step away from leaving Koji Yi, if you don't kill Koji Yi, how can Lao Tzu be willing." ”

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

On the west bank of the Pan River, the wind hunts, and the river is surging.

Thousands of white horses with white cloth on their heads stood solemnly on the riverside, standing neatly behind Gongsun Chan and Yan Gang.

In front of everyone, there are dozens of improvised coffins, which contain the bodies of the warriors of the White Horse Righteous Servants who died in the battle with the Euphorbia, and beyond that, dozens of dug earth pits.

"Blow the trumpet!" Gongsun Chan roared excitedly.

Woo woo woo~

The sound of the trumpet continued to rise, distant and sad.

With the sound of the mournful trumpet, the generous and tragic song stirred.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

After a song, thousands of white horses fell down with Gongsun Zhan, and bowed three times before getting up, and then dozens of coffins were buried in the earthen pit.

In this era of war and chaos, human life is like a mustard, especially the soldiers who are fighting, it is a relatively good result to be able to die and bury their bones, not to mention the coffin.

Gongsun Bai in the crowd looked at this group of resolute and brave soldiers in a hundred battles, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The funeral ceremony finally ended, and Gongsun Bai did not go back to his tent, but ran directly to a tent in the upper left corner of the camp, where Zhang He was held.

Zhang He, who was tied up by five flowers, sat on the soft couch in the tent, looking at the top of the tent in a daze.

At this moment, the whispering voice of the guards outside the tent reached his ears intermittently, attracting their attention.

"Did you hear the sound of the horn, it was the Marquis of Ji who personally led the crowd to bury the white horse righteous servants who died in battle. Alas...... If it is an ordinary soldier, how can he be treated like this? ”

"The white horse and the soldiers are all hundreds of generals, how can we compare? In this troubled world, as long as the war comes, who knows who will survive until tomorrow, we are lucky to be alive. ”

"That's right, this time the Hebei army killed six or seven thousand people, and the corpses were not buried, and they were thrown directly to Panhe. If it weren't for Xiaotinghou's trick and surprise attack on the Hebei army, maybe it would be the corpse of us who was floating in the water of the Panhe River. ”

"Xiaotinghou is simply the reincarnation of Sun Wu, if it weren't for the plan to fill in the river and cross the water, how could he break the Hebei Army?"

……

"Tinghou ......" Zhang He read these three words, and a cheap voice sounded in his mind: "Master, leave me a full beard and a full tail." ”

Unexpectedly, this classic night attack battle was actually from the hands of a frivolous and unobtrusive teenager, Zhang He was secretly surprised in his heart.

"Humble and greeting!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the guard's respectful voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.

Zhang He's heart jumped, this was really a coincidence, and he thought about this person, why did he suddenly arrive at the door.

Many years later, Gongsun Bai told him that this was called Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would arrive, but he never understood what this coincidence had to do with Cao Mengde.

Gongsun Bai, who was dressed in unfinished armor, had already opened the curtain and entered, looking at Zhang He quietly.

Zhang He looked back at Gongsun Bai and said lightly: "It turns out that the Pavilion Marquis has arrived, I don't know what to do?" ”

Gongsun Bai didn't answer immediately, but moved over a soft couch, sat in front of him with a big grin, and said seriously: "Now in the cold winter season, the wind is cold, and the water is dripping into ice, and it is really cold for a good winter." ”

Zhang He looked stunned for a moment, and asked blankly: "I don't know what Tinghou means by this?" ”

Gongsun Bai said with a serious face: "What Ben Hou said is that the weather is so cold, if it weren't for the surrender of you, who would be willing to drill here?" ”

Zhang He was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react, and he laughed: "Tinghou is really straightforward, Zhang admires it." I don't know how Tinghou recruited Zhang, could it be that he threatened Zhang's life again? ”

Gongsun Bai frowned slightly, and said with a sad face: "Yes, why did Ben Hou recruit General Zhang?" Money, color, officials? These Ben Hou himself also want it. ”

Then his brows slowly opened again, and he shouted outside the tent: "Come, bring Ben Hou a good silk jacket, a pot of hot wine, and a fire in the tent." ”

Soon, silk and hot wine were brought over, and a fire was built in the tent, and it became warm as spring.

In the face of the fierce generals of the armed force 91, Gongsun Bai did not dare to be careless, and still tied Zhang He, and ordered the guards to hand the hot wine to Zhang He's mouth. Zhang He was not polite, and drank three bottles of hot wine in a row, and his original face finally returned to a ruddy color.

Finally, a pot of hot wine was drunk by the two of them, and Gongsun Bai waved his hand to signal the guards to come out of the tent.

Zhang He looked at Gongsun Bai with a smile and said: "Thanks to Tinghou's care, but a pot of hot wine, a fire, and a bed of silk jacket, it seems a bit too much to want to recruit Zhang." ”

Gongsun Bai sneered: "Even if General Zhang doesn't surrender, can he still go back to Yuan Shao's account?" Yuan Shao's carefully built halberd soldiers were killed and wounded, and with his character of liking anger towards people, how could he not hate the general? What's more, now that the general has been captured, even if Benhou lets you go back, there are many factions in the Hebei army, fighting openly and secretly, how can you not be slandered and suspicious? ”

Zhang He's face twitched a few times, it was obvious that Gongsun Bai's words had gone to his heart, and what surprised him even more was that this seemingly frivolous and unobtrusive young man actually knew everything about the inside of the Hebei Army.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said: "Yuan Gong may not be Zhang's master, but if you want Zhang to surrender, unless you meet three conditions, you would rather die than surrender." ”

Gongsun Bai was overjoyed in his heart and said: "Although it is said"

Zhang He said slowly: "First, although the Beiping army has the advantage now, the victory is still difficult to decide, and the Marquis of Ting must assist the Marquis of Ji to win the final victory in the Battle of Jizhou." ”

"Second, now Jihou seems to be beautiful, but the land of Jizhou has not been leveled, and Mrs. Liu is eyeing the land of Youzhou, Zhang wants to see if Tinghou can assist Jihou to finally stabilize all parties."

Gongsun Bai nodded, it was obvious that Zhang He was not a muscular general, his vision was indeed unique, and he saw Gongsun Zhan's crisis.

"The third ......" Zhang He took a deep breath and said, lowering his voice to prevent the soldiers outside the tent from hearing, "Yuan Gong is not a virtuous lord, and Jihou is not a virtuous lord, Zhang only votes for Tinghou, not for Jihou, when Tinghou leads an army, when Zhang comes to vote." ”

, Gongsun Bai almost scolded his mother, all of them took the wrong medicine, the system told me to be self-reliant, Guo Jia told me to be self-reliant, and now Zhang He also called me self-reliant, is it so easy to pull the tiger skin and pull the banner?

Gongsun Bai stood up with a gloomy face, and said viciously: "Let Benhou think about it, but if you dare to flee without permission, Benhou will break your three legs!" ”
