Chapter Fifty-Eight: Returning to the City of Prosperity

Gongsun Chan sat in the middle of the big tent, listening to Gongsun Yue's report on the results, an unusually rosy appeared on his black face, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Gongsun Zhan didn't expect that his son Gongsun Xu not only defended Xingcheng, but also was able to send so many reinforcements to rescue him.

He didn't expect that his son Gongsun Xu commanded his soldiers to come up with such two big victories.

The depression of being chased by Zhang Ye and Chuck was suddenly swept away, and he even said a few good words in a row.

Gongsun Chan looked at the stunned state of his subordinates in the big tent, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but purse slightly.

He and everyone in the big tent didn't expect that Gongsun Xu would be like a divine help, even if the number of Zhang Ye and Chak's troops had reached the number of Gongsun Zhan's command, they were also won by Gongsun Xu.

After the soldiers under Gongsun Xu on the banks of the Xingcheng River flooded and washed away some of the people, this was the most surprising thing for them.

Although there have been several times in history when attacking with water, the ones used are all at the level of a general, and Gongsun Xu, a boy who is still a minor, used such an attack method, which made them feel incredible.

They didn't expect that Gongsun Chan only left about 1,000 soldiers for Gongsun Xu, but Gongsun Xu sent reinforcements of 1,000 people, and Captain Zhao Yun and Gongsun Da killed all the infantry who dared to resist Zhang Ye and Chak on the east bank of the Xingcheng River.

On the west bank of the river, Zhang Ye and Chake's troops wanted to cross the river to rescue, but they were firmly dragged to death in the Xingcheng River by the 500 foot soldiers led by Han Yu.

When Gongsun Yue led the forward cavalry to fight back, Zhang Ye and Chak no longer had much resistance, and after blocking their onslaught for a while, they began to flee from the desert, trying to escape from the upper shoals.

Captain Zhao Yun saw through the ideas of Zhang Ye and Chake on the east bank of the river, and led two hundred cavalry to intercept them across the river, but did not let Zhang Ye and Chake succeed, and finally Zhang Ye and Chake were killed by Gongsun Yue in a forest in the upper reaches of the Xingcheng River.

After Gongsun Chan listened to Gongsun Yue's story, he always had an urge to look up to the sky and howl, but he suppressed this thought.

The two battles of Gongsun Chan alone have swept away all the gloom in Gongsun Zhan's heart, even if the white horse Congyi and the elite cavalry have been sharply reduced by half, Gongsun Chan has no such depression.

As for Gongsun Yue, Zhao Yun and Han Yu, who led the troops, offered to stay near the Xingcheng River to clean up the battlefield, and Gongsun Chan directly approved.

To be able to achieve such a brilliant victory this time, then Zhao Yun and Han Yu made the greatest contribution, and it is understandable to let them stay and clean up the battlefield, he, who is Lao Tzu, must not be stingy, Gongsun Xu has made such a great contribution, and it is not an exaggeration to give Gongsun Xu some benefits.

The main thing is that his soldiers are so tired that they are no longer fit to do such a thing.

The most important thing he needed to do now was to enter the city and wait for the army behind General Meng Yi.

Gongsun Zan thought in his heart that when Meng Yi's army arrived, he and General Meng Yi's army would join forces, and even if Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju had great ability, they would not be able to escape from the palm of their hands.

Gongsun Chan told Gongsun Yue to explain the details of the incident to the soldiers and lieutenants below, so that they could get together to study the gains and losses of this battle and the wisdom of this battle.

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that only by constantly being exposed to actual combat examples on the battlefield could these people grow up better.

Although the pursuit of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun ended in failure, the whole battle was played with a new tactical style.

Combined with the experience of Gongsun Xu's two victories, they should think carefully about how to maximize the results and minimize the losses.

Dividing line ――――――――――――

Although Gongsun Xu was full of confidence, he had been paying attention to the information of Lao Tzu and Zhao Yun in front of him, and he was not sure that his strategy would definitely work.

When he heard the information that Gongsun Zhan had reflexively killed Zhang Ye and Chak's pursuers, and that the army would return to Xingcheng, his heart finally fell into his stomach.

Gongsun Xu thought of the preference of cheap Lao Tzu, and he immediately told Jia Hui about the return of Gongsun Zhan's army to Shixingcheng, and asked Jia Hui to welcome the ceremony.

Many times, Gongsun Xu was very speechless about Lao Tzu's mentality of being forceful, but his cheap Lao Tzu liked this kind of tone, as if the officials of the entire late Han Dynasty liked this kind of thing.

But what! Gongsun continued to think about it, but this is no wonder that he is cheap, he is not from the scholar family, he basically started by his own hard work, and it is inevitable to gain the respect of others.

He and Jia Hui get along very well now, and he also wants to give Jia Hui a chance to show his face in front of Gongsun Zhan.

Although Gongsun Chan and Jia Hui are now at the same level, after this battle, Gongsun Chan will definitely soar, and when the time comes, Gongsun Chan must be the object of admiration for a city guard like Jia Hui.

Jia Hui originally had the idea of hugging Gongsun Zhan's thighs, even if Gongsun didn't say it, Jia Hui would do his best to operate this matter.

The two hit it off, and after a series of analysis and consultations, they decided to make the ceremony of welcoming Gongsun Chan a grand and simple model.

How can I say that it is grand and simple! The grand ceremony is because the standard of greeting is relatively high, and almost all the officials of Xingcheng have all the children of the scholar clan out of the city, and they have been greeted until five miles away from Xingcheng.

The simplicity is that Gongsun Xu and Jia Hui did not use the kind of ceremony where the people of the whole city lined up to welcome them, after all, Gongsun Chan did not come back from a big victory this time, and he would be criticized by people at that time.

What's more, Xingcheng has just experienced two bandits, and the people are already miserable, so it is not appropriate for them to do such a thing.

Jia Hui has always had a high opinion of Gongsun Xu, but Jia Hui has an idea in his heart, no matter how smart Gongsun Xu is, he can fight again, but he is still an underage child.

However, after discussing with Gongsun Xu about welcoming Gongsun Zhan, Jia Hui even regarded Gongsun Xu as an equal friend and regarded Gongsun Xu as a confidant.

It's just that Jia Hui doesn't know that if this kind of thing is placed in the future generations, Gongsun Xu will do a good enough job, which can not only let the leaders see the sincerity of their reception, but also not let the leaders and the people below feel disgusted.

Jia Hui sighed that Gongsun Chan had given birth to a good son, and at the same time, he began to command Xingcheng's subordinates to handle the matter of greeting him.
