Chapter 45: A Call for Help

Just when Gongsun Xu and his men were celebrating the victory, the scout leader Fang Yu came to the east city gate.

When the captain of the city guarding team saw Fang Yu reveal his identity, he immediately led Fang Yu to Qi Ming, who was in charge of guarding the East City Gate.

After Fang Yu saw Qi Ming, he didn't talk nonsense, he told Qi Ming that he wanted to ask to see Gongsun Xu immediately.

The military situation was urgent, Fang Yu didn't want to delay for a moment, the sooner he saw Gongsun Xu, the sooner he reported Gongsun Zhan's current situation to Gongsun Xu, the more beneficial it would be to Gongsun Zhan's troops.

Seeing this, Qi Ming didn't dare to delay, and he immediately sent someone to ride a fast horse to the city guard mansion to ask Gongsun Xu.

After Gongsun Xu received Qi Ming's report, he did not stop these soldiers and residents of Xingcheng in the carnival, but quietly summoned Fang Yu, the scout leader sent by his father, by urinating and retreating.

Gongsun Xu is different from Zhao Yun's Gongsun Da, and he has always been clear about one thing in his heart, that is, his father Gongsun Zhan has a great possibility of defeating his troops this time, at least 90 percent.

At this time, it should be the most difficult moment for Gongsun Chan to be hit on the head and bleeding, and he didn't want these soldiers under him to hear such a thing.

Once this matter spreads, it will definitely have a great impact on the newly surrendered and wounded soldiers he has received.

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that his father's defeat would not have any impact on his status, but would be promoted because of his meritorious service in this war, and the soldiers and the like would be supplemented by the imperial court.

He guarded the back road for Gongsun Chan this time, and directly reduced Gongsun Chan's losses to a minimum, otherwise, the three thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry troops under Gongsun Chan would definitely not be able to come back alive than thirty percent.

After receiving Gongsun Zhan's secret letter, Gongsun Xu sighed for a while, Rao is Gongsun Xu had already prepared in his heart, and he was also taken aback by Gongsun Zhan's loss.

Gongsun Zan and Qiu Liju Zhang Chun fought several tough battles, the troop attrition was very serious, and after the final pursuit battle encountered reinforcements led by Nan Lin, the main cavalry force was reduced by nearly half, and only one-third of the team could still have combat effectiveness.

Gongsun Zhan's battalion also suffered a devastating blow, and Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's reinforcements rushing to Xiangping's side missed Qiu Liju and Gongsun Zhan's troops because they were taking the main road, and encountered Gongsun Zhan's infantry.

Although Gongsun Zhan's Han army had experienced a hundred battles, under the surprise attack of rebel reinforcements, it was almost completely wiped out, and there were only more than 200 people who ran out to meet Gongsun Zhan's team, and the whereabouts of Tian Ying and several Qu Chang were unknown.

Gongsun Zhan's large army is now short of food, and is retreating towards Xingcheng while searching for his lost subordinates.

After Gongsun Xu groaned slightly in his heart, he summoned Gongsun Da and asked Gongsun Da to lead the scout Fang Yu down to eat and rest, he was ready to send troops to send him cheap Lao Tzu to send food and ambush the pursuers.

Fang Yu was covered in dust, he rushed all the way to Xingcheng without sleep, and seeing that Xingcheng was not lost, his silent heart finally began to liven.

It's just that at this time, the young master didn't let him reply to his master, nor did he let him rush back immediately, but let him go to eat and rest, Fang Yu was a little anxious.

Fang Yu stepped on and stepped on, his whole body landed steadily on the war horse he was riding, he clasped his hands and said: "The military situation is urgent, Fang Yu does not dare to delay, I hope the young general will forgive me, please reply to the general." ”

Now is the time to burn his eyebrows, General Gongsun has been waiting for news from Xingcheng now, how can this young master be so childish.

Could it be that the young master is stupid here in Xingcheng?

Although Fang Yu's words did not reveal his dissatisfaction with Gongsun Xu, Fang Yu's behavior had already betrayed Fang Yu's heart.

Fang Yu just wanted to make Gongsun Xu make a decision early in such a form, so that he could reply to General Gongsun Chan as soon as possible with Gongsun Xu's reply, and General Gongsun was extremely eager to get information from Xingcheng's side.

Otherwise, General Gongsun would not have sent him out as a messenger to deliver the news.

Gongsun Xu smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Commander Fang, don't be impatient, this time the Xingcheng soldiers repelled two thousand Wuhuan cavalry and are celebrating the victory.

Now I ask you to rest for a while, and let me go and prepare, and then send an army with you to meet General Gongsun.

If you don't eat now and don't take a break, where will you have the strength to lead the troops at that time?

Although he is young, he understands the truth, and he will definitely not do something stupid while watching his father's safety. ”

What the? The Xingcheng soldiers repelled two thousand Wuhuan cavalry?!!!

Fang Yu's eyes suddenly widened.

However, soon, Fang Yu's face turned extremely ugly, and there was a trace of unkindness in his eyes when he looked at Gongsun Xu.

Gongsun Da and Fang Yu had a few encounters, and he said to Fang Yu with a smile: "Brother Fang, the young master led us to kill and retreat two thousand Wuhuan iron horses, and even killed the promotion. Listening to the sound of laughter in the city, you should know that what the young master said is true.

You can rest with me, the young master is powerful, there will be no problems, and when you are full of food and drink, the young master will naturally give you a task. ”

Gongsun Da is not brave enough in Gongsun Zhan's troops, but he has a good connection, and he is one of the cavalry selected from the White Horse Congyi, and he has been fighting in the south and north with Gongsun Chan for seven or eight years.

He was familiar with Fang Yu's scouts, and naturally revealed a trace of cordiality in and out of his words, but he highly respected Gongsun Xu in and out of his words, and he directly dispelled Fang Yu's doubts.

Gongsun Da also saw Gongsun Xu's thoughts at this time, the general's side suffered a defeat and retreated is a foregone conclusion, and it is not realistic to immediately exclude soldiers to meet the general's side, at least it will take a period of time for the whole army to be sent out by Gongsun Xu.

In this situation, there is not much difference between an hour or two earlier and an hour or two later, it is better to be prepared to stop and then let Fang Yu lead the way to rescue Gongsun Zhan.

Fang Yu was a veteran of a hundred battles, so he naturally had an intuitive understanding of the Wuhuan cavalry, and he naturally wouldn't believe that Gongsun Xu would be able to repel the Wuhuan cavalry with so many men.

This kind of exaggerated victory, if it is said that it was fought under the command of Gongsun Zhan, absolutely no one will question it, but if this kind of victory is to be said to be fought by Gongsun Zhan, it is definitely worth considering.

Fang Yu looked at Gongsun Xu in a daze, and a sluggish look appeared on his face.

Fang Yu couldn't believe that Gongsun Xu could kill the two thousand cavalry who had been promoted with those remnants of his men, and even killed the promotion.

The promotion is the general of Wuhuan, and he is as famous as Gongsun Zhan, that is, Gongsun Chan used 2,000 cavalry and promoted 2,000 cavalry to confront, and he didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure of repelling the promoted cavalry, not to mention Gongsun continued.

It's just that the faint sound of laughter in the city makes him have to believe this fact, and he hopes that this news is true, if the two thousand cavalry led by the promotion are repelled by Gongsun Xu, then his colleagues will not be in much danger.

In fact, let alone Fang Yu, even if it was put aside some time ago, Gongsun Da didn't believe that Gongsun Xu could use such a little person to defeat the two thousand cavalry under the promotion command.

After Fang Yu was taken away by Gongsun Da, Gongsun Xu immediately sent Qi Ming to invite Zhao Yun, in such a situation, he felt that the person who sent the rescue was none other than Zhao Yun.

After the victory of Xingcheng, as long as Gongsun continued to sit in Xingcheng, it was basically unhindered, and the promotion of subordinates was nothing more than a few hundred cavalry, and those cavalry who had already been frightened were unable to attack Xingcheng.

He has not had enough time to come to the end of the Han Dynasty now, and he has a certain lack of command of the army, and if he forcibly leads the troops to the battle, it will be unfavorable to the war situation.

It is time to show courage or go into battle to kill the enemy, and you must not seize the day to let yourself fall into passivity.

Zhao Yun was confused by Gongsun Xu, he didn't understand, at such a time, Gongsun Xu asked him what he could do, now the promoted army has been completely disabled, and he has also made proper arrangements for city defense, if you don't celebrate at this time, why do you still greet him to such a place?
