Chapter 80: Chen Sima withdraws from Guangzong
"Who...... Who would dare? ”
Yao Gong didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem for a while, and when he heard the young general in front of him say that he was going to open the city and let Chen Nuo and others enter the city, he immediately grabbed a sword, pulled it out violently, and stabbed it in front of the young general's chest.
Yao Gong was originally a literati, and this sword was stabbed under this sluggishness, how could he be hit?
The young general in front of him made a wrong step, and he had easily let go of his body.
Yao Gong couldn't hit it, he was annoyed and angry, and immediately ordered the guards on the left and right to step forward and kill. Those people still wanted to step forward, but they didn't want to suddenly pounce on them and surround them with a lot of soldiers behind them.
Yao Gong's face turned pale with fright, and he trembled, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.
The young general stepped forward, took out an arrow, shook it in front of everyone, and said, "Wait and listen, I am Zhao Xue, the governor of General Chen's account!" Now that he has been ordered by General Chen to arrest the traitor Yao Gong, Ruoer and others want to save their lives, so they should immediately abandon their weapons and surrender, otherwise they will be killed! ”
Although Zhao Xue is the governor of Chen Nuo's account, Chen Nuo acted for convenience, since he transferred her into Guangchuan City, he deliberately did not let Zhao Xue appear under Yao Gong's nose, so Yao Gong was very strange to her.
It is precisely because of this that after Chen Nuo took the men and horses out of the city, he was relieved to leave Zhao Xue in the city and let her act cheaply.
The so-called cheap acting, of course, is aimed at Yao Gongqi.
For Yao Gong, Chen Nuo had already taken precautions.
As early as Gao Yan's entry into the city, after Chen Nuo destroyed Yao Gong's good deeds, Yao Gong, in order to be able to obtain foreign aid, still maintained secret contact with Gao Yan even though he knew that Gao Yan and Gongsun Zhan had rebelled. After Chen Nuo learned of these news, he did not rush to act, and did not hesitate to wait for the opportunity in order to be able to catch him and Gao Yan all together.
Finally, this opportunity was still waited for by him.
When Koji Yizhi came, he deliberately mentioned in front of Yao Gong that he wanted to take everyone out of the city to greet him, and deliberately reminded Gao Yan in front of Yao Gong, in order to make Yao Gong feel that acting at this time was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And Yao Gong, precisely because he was anxious to get rid of Chen Nuo, did not hesitate to take this big risk.
It's just that how did he know that although Chen Nuo verbally said that he had taken away all the people in the city, how could it have been like this?
In fact, what Yao Gong looks like on the surface is far from being as simple as the matter itself.
As mentioned before, Chen Nuo not only deliberately concealed Zhao Xue and his people in front of Yao Gong, but also hid his own true troops.
Although this force is only less than two or three hundred, it is definitely not to be underestimated.
Chen Nuo handed them over to Zhao Xue, who used them to reverse the current situation.
Zhao Xue didn't expect that Yao Gong would really dare to do it, and he actually blocked the four gates immediately after Chen Nuo left, and sent a fast horse out of the city to contact Gao Yan.
Yao Gong was in action, and Zhao Xue also took action immediately. As soon as Yao Gong sent the letter, Zhao Xue made someone deliberately pretend to be his subordinate, deceived the person's letter into his own hands, and then took the letter and contacted Gao Yan in Kaecheng.
As early as a moment ago, Gao Yan actually knew that Chen Nuo had led his men out of the city, and when he received Yao Gong's letter at this time, he was naturally not suspicious. In order to be greedy for merit, Gao Yan did not greet the other generals of Gongsun Zhan's department, so he led a group of men and horses to follow Zhao Xue to Guangchuan.
It was also Gao Yan who was too careless, or believed in Yao Gong too much, and was used by Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue tricked him into an ambush circle, assassinated Gao Yan with one blow, and then returned to the city with his head. When Chen Nuo and the others were killed in the city, and Yao Gong wanted to close the city to reject Chen Nuo and others, Zhao Xue took Gao Yan's head at the right time and threw it in front of Yao Gong, revealing his identity, which shocked the scene at that time.
Although Yao Gong didn't take Zhao Xue in his eyes, he was secretly attacked by her, and he and the guards behind him were surrounded by her people at the moment, how could he calm down? What's more, his backup Gao Yan is now dead at present, he is even more helpless, and now that the crime has been confirmed, it is difficult to argue, in a hurry, he has to raise the sword in his hand and want to die.
Where can it be so cheap for him, as soon as the sword in his hand was raised, he was knocked down by Zhao Xue.
Looking at Zhao Xue and the thousands of troops and horses under the city, Yao Gong's body was weak and he sat on the ground.
"Kaesong!"
With an order, the heavy gate of Guangchuan City was finally opened for Chen Nuo and the others. As soon as this door opened, it was not only Chen Nuo and the thousands of men and horses in his hands ushered in, but of course, the prestige that followed.
In the first month of the spring of the third year of the first peace, Chen Nuo defeated Gongsun Zan fifteen miles outside Guangchuan City, and Baimayi fell from then on, and Chen Nuo's reputation rose.
This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing.
The good thing is that after Gongsun Zhan's battle, in order to avoid Chen Nuo's edge, he had to move the company camp back ten miles.
The bad thing is that Yuan Shao did not give him a chance to continue to grow, not only did he no longer send reinforcements, but also gave Chen Nuo an order to withdraw his troops from Guangzong.
After Chen Nuo's victory in Guangchuan, the news reached Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao was happy and jealous, he specially found his confidant Fengji and asked him his opinion on this matter.
Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao's thoughts at a glance, so he followed his meaning and said: "Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, I heard that he has never lost a battle since his debut, and now he is defeated in the hands of General Chen, and it can be regarded as capsizing in the gutter, and he deserves to be unlucky." However, General Chen was able to defeat him Baima Yisube, after all, it was a fluke, thinking that after the first battle of his grandson Zan Dongguang, he did not recuperate, and was already a tired division, so he directly threw his troops into the Guangchuan battlefield, how could he give full play to his full merit?
Moreover, with so many soldiers and horses at his Gongsun Zhan, how could he easily resist with the thousands of soldiers of General Chen? Thinking that Guangchuan is just an isolated city, if the enemy uses it to besiege the city for reinforcements, even if our army continues to send reinforcements, it will be very unfavorable to our army. If Gong Yuan asks me, in my opinion, it is better to let General Chen and them withdraw from Guangchuan immediately while their morale is still alive. In this way, General Chen withdraws, and Gongsun Chan will also follow, leading him by the nose, which is beneficial to our army; Second, when we have already been fighting here for a long time, Gongsun Chan has come from afar, and for our army, he is waiting for work, wouldn't the chance of victory be greater? ”
Yuan Shao glanced at Feng Ji and smiled, sure enough, it was my Yuan someone's henchman. Those who know me, if you meet Jiye!
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Don't say that, Chen Nuo was able to defeat his Gongsun Zhan's elite archers and white horse righteous servants with infantry, and it was definitely not a fluke." Think that under the circumstances, if he didn't fight to the death, how could he defeat the thief army? I heard that after this war, in order to avoid Chen Nuo's edge, Gongsun Chan also deliberately camped for ten miles, if it weren't for Gongsun Chan being afraid of him Chen Nuo, how could he do this?
To say, if I continue to increase my troops under this circumstance, the outcome may not be known. It's just that, as you said in Yuantu, if you continue to increase troops, you are only afraid that it will be disadvantageous to us, so according to what Yuantu you want, you will not increase your troops, and send an order to Chen Nuo to withdraw. ”
Feng Ji smiled, nodded, and according to Yuan Shao's meaning, he drafted a document and ordered Chen Nuo to withdraw his troops within a time limit.
The document that Yuan Shao handed over to Chen Nuo meant nothing more than that he, Yuan Shao, had already gathered an army of 50,000 to wait for Gongsun Chan in Guangzong, and would use his land as a battlefield to fight Gongsun Chan to the death. Because of this, Yuan Shao asked Chen Nuo's side to withdraw his troops, and there was no need to continue to fight with Gongsun Zhan.
In fact, long before Yuan Shao's order came down, with his Chen Nuo's understanding of Yuan Shao, he could still sense some of the atmosphere.
wants to defeat Gongsun Chan in the battle against Gongsun Chan, and he has the advantage alone, of course Yuan Shao doesn't want to see it. Besides, Gongsun Chan's defeat here and his morale were frustrated, which also made Yuan Shao see hope, and it was necessary to fight Gongsun Chan in person in order to allow him Yuan Shao to gain a foothold in Jizhou.
Therefore, Chen Nuo was already psychologically prepared after defeating Gongsun Zhan.
Since Yuan Shao's order could not be disobeyed, and his purpose of enriching himself with this battle had been achieved, it was only a matter of time before he withdrew.
It's just that at this time, although Guangchuan City is completely controlled by him Chen Nuo alone, but in the face of Gongsun Zhan's army of tens of thousands, he wants to withdraw from the city, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. If you want to leave, Gongsun Chan may not let you go.
After the battle outside Guangchuan City, Gongsun Chan seemed to have a clear head and was much more cautious in his work.
He had soldiers and his power still existed, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but came to a siege but not to attack.
Although he was cowering in the camp, he kept urging his men and horses to strengthen the fortifications, and he did not mean to be lax with Chen Nuo at all.
In this way, if Chen Nuo wants to break through, it is also easy.
Gongsun Zhan's abacus, in fact, Chen Nuo has already guessed it.
Although Gongsun Chan has soldiers, after all, his troops have just gone through the first battle of Dongguang and are already a tired army; Coupled with the shadow of the battle outside Guangchuan City, his soldiers and horses are afraid that it will be difficult to reuse. So many unfavorable factors forced Gongsun Chan to have no choice but to retreat slightly and not engage Chen Nuo.
Although this seems to give Chen Nuo a chance to breathe on the surface, at the same time, doesn't it also give him a great opportunity?
Wouldn't he take this opportunity to rest his men and restore their morale, so that they would have a better chance of winning a battle in the future?
Moreover, as long as Gongsun Chan surrounds and does not fight, Guangchuan City will eventually run out of ammunition and food, and then Gongsun Chan can easily take Guangchuan City without a knife or a shot.
The tired army of hundreds of thousands of Gongsun Chan is already very terrifying, if they are completely rested, wouldn't it be even more headache?
Gongsun Chan can wait, but he Chen Nuoke can't wait.
Chen Nuo took the initiative to attack, deliberately letting Lu Yi, Zhu Ling and other generals take turns to attack the city, all taking advantage of the dark night to attack.
But his sneak attack also has a characteristic, they have just hit the gate, and when the other party comes to respond, he immediately retreats. In the end, when they saw the enemy attacking the camp, they did not open the camp and went out to fight, but just dealt with it casually.
Chen Nuo saw that the opportunity had come, so he gathered all the soldiers and horses in the city, and under his leadership, they all fought out of the city.
Those Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, who were attacked by Chen Nuo's men and horses all night long, thought that as usual, they would definitely kill and leave, but they thought that Chen Nuo was really with them this time. By the time they reacted, Chen Nuo had already rushed into the camp with his men and horses, and he didn't love to fight, and he left at the slightest touch. By the time Gongsun Chan led his troops to respond, Chen Nuo had already lost Guangchuan and went straight to Guangzong.
