Gongsun Chan led his army to quickly sail towards Long Minao, intending to recapture the camp. At that time, Ko Yi was ready to lead his troops to continue the pursuit, but Yuan Shao sent orders for him to collect his troops and return to the city.

Lu Yi was puzzled by this, so he ran to Yuan Shao and asked, "Gongsun Zan plans to attack the Longcuo camp, why didn't Yuan Gong let the last general lead his troops to pursue?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "Lu Bu and Shaoran are enough to deal with Gongsun Zhan, and you will lead the people of your headquarters to help Yuan Tan and take down Gao Tang." ”

Suddenly, Guo Jia's expression on the side moved, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Lu Yi couldn't help but say: "Tian Kai's soldiers are only 10,000, and it is more than enough for the eldest prince to take them down; The soldiers and horses under the two generals were less than 1,000, which was a huge difference from Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 cavalry; Yuan Gong, let's let the last general lead his troops to aid the two generals, right? ”

Yuan Shao frowned a little dissatisfied, but said, "What do you know; Do you know that with only 10,000 horses, Shaoran defeated the 200,000 troops of the Kwantung region and abandoned their armor, so frightened that the princes even trembled when they heard his name; Now with Lu Bu, even if there are less than 1,000 men under his command, it is more than enough to deal with Gongsun Zhan; Why are you bothering here? ”

When Koji Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless immediately.

Tian Feng, who was on the side, couldn't help but say: "Yuan Gong's words are wrong; The two of them came to help with good intentions, how could Yuan Gong have the heart of a villain and spend the belly of a gentleman? This is not the work of the knowers. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng, but asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "If a hero wants to make a contribution, he should have a tolerant heart; Yuan Gong refused to send troops to help in the war, that is, he wanted to trap the two of them in danger; Even if the two of them were able to defeat Gongsun Zhan, in the eyes of the world, Yuan Gong was just jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and he was really a narrow-minded person; Like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Yuan Gong to win the hearts of the people in the future. ”

"Hmm." When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but groan deeply. Immediately, he ordered: "Koji Yi listens to the order." ”

Koji was a little sluggish. Immediately, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The end will be!" ”

Yuan Shao said: "I order you to lead 5,000 foot cavalry to Longcuo and help the two generals defeat Gongsun Zhan." ”

"The last general commands!" Koji Yoshiki obeyed the order.

Immediately, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look at Tian Feng again, snorted coldly and got up and left. In this regard, Tian Feng was expressionless and disapproving.

At this time, Guo Jia couldn't help but slightly lower the corners of his mouth, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had some plans.

But he said that when Gongsun Zhan led his army to a place that was not more than two or three miles away from the dragon. Feng Xian and I have already led the crowd out of the village to greet each other.

Then, Gongsun Zhan came to him, stopped his horse, couldn't help frowning and looked at Feng Xian with a very complicated expression, and said, "General Lu, how can you be in the same league as people like Yuan Shao?" To this day, can't the general see who that guy is? ”

Feng Xian asked rhetorically: "What happened to him?" ”

Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but pause, and then said: "That guy is a two-faced man with three swords; Now he is willing to take in the generals, but he just wants to use you and others; If the general doesn't wake up sooner. One day it will be harmed, and then it will be too late to regret it! ”

Feng Xian was silent for a moment.

At this time, I couldn't help but say, "General Gongsun, I know that you are a person with an upright temperament. It's always about what to say; Straightforwardness is a good thing, but it doesn't apply to the way of the world today. If General Gongsun is unwilling to wade into this pool of troubled waters, then he will retreat to Youzhou with his men and horses, and do his part in peace. It won't embarrass us; We will deal with Yuan Shao's problems ourselves, so we won't worry about you; In addition, if there is a lack of food. You can bring some food and grass back from the camp for the men and horses to need on the road. ”

Gongsun Chan looked at me and said, "Presumably, Your Excellency is the young general, right?" I heard that the young general has the talent of a sage, do you also think that Yuan Shaoqi is credible? ”

I replied: "Whether Yuan Shao is credible or not, the key is whether General Gongsun is credible; May I ask General Gongsun, are you a person worthy of the trust of others? ”

Gongsun Zhan patted his chest and said: "My Gongsun Boqi has always been worthy of the sky and the earth, and he is naturally a trustworthy person. ”

I said, "In that case, why did General Gongsun refuse to answer the call and join forces with everyone to rescue the Son of Heaven?" Doesn't General Gongsun's actions make people think that you are a person who has a different heart for the Han family? ”

"I-" Gongsun Chan heard this, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

I said again: "General Gongsun, Yuan Shao's men will soon arrive; I don't want to continue to fight with you, so let's retreat with your men and horses. ”

At this time, Liu Bei on the side suddenly said: "Brother Bo Jue, Xuande thinks that what the young general said is reasonable; We have the right to withdraw our troops and return to Youzhou first, lest the princes think that we want to do that rebellious thing, so that the handle will fall into Yuan Shao's hands. ”

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, he sighed, and then only said: "Withdraw." So he took his men and horses and went north. Before leaving, Liu Bei arched his hand at me and said, "Young General, there will be a period later." ”

I nodded and said, "Well, I'll see you soon." ”

Looking at their figures gradually moving away, Feng Xian couldn't help but ask with a slight sigh: "Brother Xian, do you think we did something wrong?" ”

I said, "Logically speaking, it is indeed wrong; But in terms of long-term benefits, it is necessary; Now that we are in the midst of adversity, the only thing we can do is to accumulate a good reputation as much as possible; Regardless of whether Yuan Shao himself is a person with different intentions, now that we have helped him, it will be good for us; Even if Yuan Shao turned his face and didn't recognize people at that time, and turned the finger at us, it would not only not be harmful to us, but would highlight our positive image; Either way, it's going to be a thing that does more good than it does harm. ”

Indeed, as long as Yuan Shao is still an ambitious person, he will definitely not let us grow strong under his hands. Since it is inevitable to meet him in the end, why not improve your image? Anyway, with the ability of our people, sooner or later we will be able to do something, as long as we are given a proper opportunity, we will definitely be able to.

Feng Xian nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Soon after, Koji Yoshiki arrived with his troops. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Long Minao was calm and nothing to do here. Immediately, he dismounted again and came to the camp to greet him and said, "Two generals, didn't you say that Gongsun Chan led the army back to attack the Longcuo camp, why is it missing now?" ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "Oh, you're late, Gongsun Chan has already withdrawn his troops and returned to Youzhou." ”

Koji Yoshiki immediately said in surprise: "Huh? Withdrawn? Could it be that he was repelled by the two generals? ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "Hehe, how can you be so powerful; It was the virtuous brother who enlightened him and persuaded him to retire. ”

Koji Yi was relieved: "Oh, I see; The major general is really a little surprised, and the last general really admires it! ”

I chuckled and said, "Koji Zhonglang has won the prize; Speaking of which, Gongsun Chan is also a knowledgeable person in the end, as long as he makes the truth clear to him, he will naturally not be entangled anymore. ”

Koji Yi smiled and said: "Hehe, now that there is a young general, if you want to help the Han family, it is hopeful now." ”

I said, "If you want to support the Han family, it is not enough for me to be able to do it alone, and we need everyone to work together." ”

Feng Xian also said: "Yes, especially if there are a few more generals like Koji Zhonglang who can fight well and be loyal to the Han family, why worry about the troubled times?" ”

Koji Yi smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "General Lu is really too awarded, how can the last general be able to do it." ”

After Gongsun Zan retreated, Tian Kai could not stop Yuan Shao's army alone, so he also led the crowd back to Qingzhou. So the two families each quit their troops and recuperated for the time being. (To be continued......)
