Chapter 166: Trapped in the Trench
King Li's army is like a giant ship, pushing sideways across the vast land of the Central Plains, setting off countless waves, which are shocking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No one can figure out why the behemoth with 300,000 troops and the two states of Youyou and Hebei will be overturned in one day.
No matter what the outside world thinks of King Li, his pace has not stopped, until June 20 of the first year of Zhongxing, Zhang Yan led 10,000 foot soldiers, troops to Guangyang County, Wanyan Zongwang also sent troops in Changshan, only less than seven days, and Zhang Yan's camp across the city.
And King Li's own army, directly approaching the mound, the large battalion is connected together, which can be described as spectacular.
There are also a few more prosperous towns in Youzhou, most of them are driven by some merchants who trade in foreign lands, this Tuyin County is also among them, it faces east is Liaoxi, to the north is the Great Wall, and the merchants who settle down come and go frequently.
But today is different, Prince Li led tens of thousands of troops, as early as the day before yesterday, he was camped in the south relying on Xu Wushan, and no one could decide what King Li thought, so few people in Tuyin City dared to go out and wander in the past few days, including those bastards who were not afraid of heaven and earth, smelled a trace of unusualness and hid themselves.
Gongsun Chan anxiously paced back and forth in the county mansion, his sad face written all over his face.
Gongsun Du has the same surname as Gongsun Zhan, although he is not related by blood, but since Han Fu was imprisoned, he has served Gongsun Zhan.
At this time, Gongsun Du hurriedly walked into the hall and said, "General, in the past two days, I have sent five soldiers to deliver the message, but King Li has closed the camp and closed it. ”
Gongsun Zhan frowned and said: "Although I used to have an old relationship with King Li, but the development of the situation is not controlled by feelings, and now Yuan Shao has collapsed, it happened too fast, and there is no time to react, plus the thieves have been fierce in the past two months, and our army may not be able to escape the ascension to heaven at this time." ”
Gongsun Du continued: "Gongsun Yue descended to King Li, which can be regarded as retaining the lineage of Gongsun, with the friendship between the lord and King Li, as long as the city gate is opened, he will definitely not be embarrassed, why don't we..."
Gongsun Chan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "My Gongsun Chan has been fighting for nearly ten years, never defeated, first there were yellow turban thieves who killed me so that I only had hundreds of horsemen left, and then there were foreign barbarians who forced me into a desperate situation, which time it was not a death battle to get out of trouble, Gongsun Du must not let others look down on me." ”
Gongsun Du is usually a calm and calm person, but in such a situation, he has to hang his heart in the air, and when he hears Gongsun Zhan's words, he can only sigh in the bottom of his heart.
Gongsun Zhan said suddenly: "Gongjin, you have come as a division of our army, and you are expected to be the first enemy in every battle, why don't you speak freely at this time?" ”
Zhou Yu took a sip of tea, and only said in a low voice after a while: "I am afraid that there is no other deep meaning when I see the former general acting like this, why don't you look at this matter on the surface?" ”
Gongsun Zhan frowned, and said uncertainly: "What does Gongjin mean, is it that King Li doesn't want to fight with me in his heart?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "The voice of the people under the rule of the former general is very good, and the battle with Yuan Shao is not pursued by victory, it is for the great righteousness, and now the former general leads a large army to the city, even if it is just a strong attack, our army will be destroyed in less than half a month, but he did not do this, I guess, I am afraid that on the one hand, he is for the life of the soldiers, on the other hand, it is also for the general's past kindness." ”
Gongsun Zhan was still a little puzzled, and asked, "In this way, Gongjin also approves of my surrender to King Li?" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly: "It's not that Gong Jin wants to persuade the general to surrender, but the former general's intention is that this is what the former general showed, the general now has two ways to choose, whether to listen to my opinion or not, please ask the former general to decide." ”
Gongsun Chan lowered his head, turned around and sat in the hall, and did not speak for a whole cup of tea, and Gongsun Du burned his eyebrows on the side.
As if unwilling, Gongsun Chan hesitated: "Gongjin, how should these two roads go." ”
Zhou Yu also sighed in his heart, but he still replied: "The first way, the general rode out of the city alone, and pleaded with King Li for his guilt, he will definitely take into account the old feelings of the past and magnify the general's horse, this second way is ......" Zhou Yu got up and shook the ground, and said heavily: "This second way is to defend the mound, Gong Jin will definitely give advice to the general and seek a way to survive." ”
Gongsun Chan pressed his brows with one hand, and gently knocked on the table with the other, the rhythm was neither fast nor slow, which made Gongsun Du irritable for a while.
The time of depression always passed very slowly, and Gongsun Du thought that a long time had passed in waiting, but in fact it was only half a pillar of incense, and finally waited for Gongsun Zhan's decision.
"Gong Jin, how many soldiers and horses do I have in Tuyin City?"
Zhou Yu's heart was sour, and he arched his hand and said: "There were originally 30,000 garrisons in Tuyin City, but the general assigned 15,000 men and horses to Gongsun Kang and Guan Jing to suppress the Liukou, and now the army in the city is less than 15,000. ”
Gongsun Zhan's face calmed down, and he said calmly: "Gongsun Du, you immediately put up a list, recruit the township to defend the city, and all the families of only sons can go to our county government to receive grain and grass with the order. ”
Zhou Yu didn't wait for Gongsun Du to be it, shook his head and said: "Half of the population of Tuyin City are nomads, and most of the rest of the people are old and weak, and most of the men in the prime of life have joined the army. ”
Gongsun Chan also knew that the current situation was like this, but there was no other way.
Zhou Yu continued: "Why don't the generals recruit some Ren Xia, promise heavy profits, secretly lurk under the former general's tent, and wait for the opportunity, there will be surprises." ”
Gongsun Zhan's eyes flashed, but in the end he hesitated: "Ren Chivalry, although they are all hot-blooded people, most of them are unruly and brave and ruthless, how can they obey my orders." ”
Zhou Yu stopped and said: "The lord has arranged for himself, these Ren Xia appeared in the mound, all of them came to kill the barbarians, and the general also said that they are all hot-blooded people, as long as we move with affection, with their enthusiasm, they will definitely rush to it and bring trouble to the Bingzhou army." ”
Gongsun Zhan groaned, and even agreed to Zhou Yu's proposal, and went down to make arrangements.
Zhou Yu also got up slowly, and murmured: "Lord, you are Yu's Bole, but the general is Yu's confidant, and he is at the end of his rope. ”
The sky is beautiful, the weather is sunny for days, the temperature in the north is not high, and the bad and fickle weather in Bingzhou is far away, Li Wang's garrison does not move, on the one hand, it is natural to let Gongsun Zan a horse, but on the other hand, there are other considerations, since the successive battles, it is okay when it is in Jizhou, few soldiers are not adapted, but since entering the Youzhou area, there are many people who have vomiting, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms, and there is a trend of spreading.
Fortunately, King Li had prepared and bought a large amount of ginger, which came in handy at this time, although the symptoms were temporarily suppressed, but after all, many soldiers were induced by the psychological influence, so King Li did not rest in the past two days, running around in the camp, while condolences to the condition, while encouraging morale......
