68, Juyong City
Yuan Shang gave an order, the generals led the order to go, only 40,000 tiger and wolf soldiers responded instantly, sharpened their knives and guns, rested their equipment, repaired the city wall, and were busy in an instant, Gongsun Chan took 100,000 Youzhou soldiers to point at Shanggu County, and the sheng flag was displayed, but it was not necessarily that the tiger and wolf army would be stunned, for the war, Yuan Shang's tiger and wolf division had never been afraid, and he would fight if he wanted to fight, this is the style of this army, from Yuan Shang to the small soldiers, dare to fight, and will never retreat without an order.
At this time, Xu You and others on behalf of Yuan Shang quietly went to Juyong County, Juyong County, also known as Xiguan, is located in the southeast of Fuyang City fifty miles, the situation is dangerous, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, there are two passes in the north and south, the south pass is called 'South Pass', and the north is called 'Juyong Pass'.
Juyong City, which is built on the mountain, is condescending, and the passes and killings are horns of each other, and in terms of strategic location alone, it is a few points more significant than Fuyang City.
Xu You rode away on a donkey, with a gray and white cloth coat, and there was no entourage behind him, alone, swaying towards Juyong County.
The distance between Juyong County and Fuyang City is not far, and it can be reached before dark, but looking at Xu You's leisurely appearance, the little donkey walks slowly, and I really don't know when the road will arrive.
And at this time, far away in Fuyang City? Juyong County, a few hundred kilometers away, seems to be very calm, the 10,000 defenders in the city in addition to the daily patrol, but there is no trace of the appearance of heavy guards, the chaos in Fuyang City, it seems that there is no impact on Juyong County, the city is still not stopped, officials at all levels, what should they do or what to do, a peaceful world.
The county government of Juyong County is not big, it has not been repaired for a long time, but it looks a little old, and most of the top leaders, Gongsun Ze in order to facilitate the handling of county affairs, the whole family lives in the county office, fortunately, although the county government is a little dilapidated, but there are several sets of small courtyards, as the respect of a county, Gongsun Ze of course lives in the largest set of courtyards, the next person is very eye-catching, skillfully carved and decorated, but it also looks a lot more chic, there is a small courtyard with the appearance of flowing water against the green mountains.
Gongsun Ze only married two wives, four or five children, plus old parents and more than a dozen little maids, it also seemed very spacious.
Enze Hall is the place where Gongsun Ze entertains friends on weekdays, the hall is spacious, enough to sit down about 20 people, and there is a picture of green mountains and green clouds and water in the center, which is the love of Gongsun Ze's life, from the hands of contemporary everyone, obtained by chance, regarded as a treasure, hung in the hall, and shared with friends.
The little maid has been retired, and the atmosphere in the hall is a little rigorous, if an outsider breaks in, he will definitely exclaim abnormally.
At this time, Gongsun Ze, as the master, was in the side position, and there was a middle-aged man with withered eyes sitting on the main seat where the master should have been seated, but he saw Gongsun Ze smiling from time to time, and the flattery was not concealed at all.
"Mr. Hu, please surrender the table, I have already handed it over according to the instructions, but I don't know if Mr. Lu Dao has any other instructions?" Gongsun Ze, who had a somewhat delicate face, said with a smile.
The man dressed as a scribe at the head had slightly browning eyes, and a faint momentum lingered, it was Mr. Hu, who had briefly fought with Gongsun Zhan, but at this moment he suddenly appeared in Juyong County, and was regarded as a guest by Gongsun Ze, and even, there was a faint appearance of subordinates living in it.
Mr. Hu, who was slightly blind, glanced at Gongsun Ze lightly, seemed to see through what this person was thinking, and said softly: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Swept away by Mr. Hu's understated eyes, Gongsun Ze's heart trembled inexplicably, and he laughed a little: "It's still seen by Mr., hehe, hehe." ”
But seeing Mr. Hu's brows, Gongsun Ze hurriedly said: "What I don't understand is that since Gongsun Chan personally led a large army to deal with Yuan Shang, why can't I wait to watch the tiger fight across the mountain, let these two tigers fight, and then make a decision, why do I ask Yuan Shang to surrender at this time?" ”
"Because this seat wants to make Youzhou chaotic," Mr. Hu said indifferently: "Since Liu Yu's death, we have lost control of Youzhou, this is bad news, the sect master is very dissatisfied, therefore, the chaos in Youzhou is the best pattern, and with Yuan Shang to contain Gongsun Zhan, we can profit from the chaos, understand?" ”
Gongsun Ze nodded when he heard this: "I understand this, but why do you want to dedicate Juyong Guan to Yuan Shang, you must know that Lu Dao, this person is not an easy person, and the soldiers under his command are also brave people, if this person defeats Gongsun Zhan, then Youzhou will definitely fall, and we will not gain nothing in the end." ”
"Very well, it's good that you can think of that." Mr. Hu nodded slightly, and he was quite satisfied with Gongsun Ze.
"Why?" Gongsun Ze was a little puzzled.
When Mr. Hu heard this, a sly smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think that this seat will let him capture Youzhou with peace of mind?" ”
Seeing this, Gongsun Ze knew in his heart that the hint of danger in Mr. Hu's eyes made him dare not speak deeply, nodded and said: "Mr.'s plan has always been admired in the future, otherwise the sect master will not let Mr. be responsible for all important external affairs, and he will need Mr.'s promotion in the future." ”
"It's easy to say," Mr. Hu's face was indifferent, his eyes flashed a hint of obscurity, and he said: "You just need to cooperate with this seat well, and the Gongsun family will definitely have your place in the future." ”
"Then thank you, sir." Gongsun Ze arched his hand, but he was sincere in his heart, as the abandoned son of the Gongsun clan, he hoped more than anyone else to return to the core of the clan one day, which is why he joined the Wuzong and became the outer disciple of the Wuzong.
Not long after Xu Yu went out of the city, the entire Fuyang City shook slightly, like a thunderstorm rolling in the sky, the roaring marching slogans and the sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground, suddenly the outside of the city was not deserted, on the city tower, tens of thousands of tigers and wolves looked coldly ahead, the sheng flag was unfurled, and a cold breath quietly came, Yuan Shang climbed up the city tower, followed the eyes, where the field of vision could reach, thousands of troops and horses, stepping on the drum, to the horizon to change and emerge, so that the people in the city suddenly changed.
"Here we are." Yuan Shang muttered to himself.
"My lord, the last general will ask for battle." Yuan Shang beside him, Yan Liangjin million, Xu Huang, and the others asked for their lives.
Yan Liangjin, Xu Huang and other generals all had solemn faces, their eyes were full of fighting spirit, the purpose of their coming to Youzhou was to open up, to fight for Yuan Shang on the battlefield, and to fight with Gongsun Zhan to determine the belonging of Youzhou, rather than relying on the city wall to defend it, this is not their style.
"Do you want to go out of the city to fight?" Yuan Shang shook his head: "It's not the time to go out of the city for a decisive battle, wait first." ”
"Lord," Jin Million was a little unwilling: "Gongsun Zhan has been marching for days, and his command must be exhausted, and it is the best time for our army lord to attack." ”
"Do you think so too?" Yuan Shang frowned slightly, and looked at the generals.
Half of the generals nodded, but only Xu Huang and Fu Zhi stared at the chaotic battle formation outside the city, silent.
Seeing this, Yuan Shang shook his head: "I said, don't underestimate any opponent, especially an overlord like Gongsun Zhan, can you think that he has been fighting on the battlefield for almost twenty years, is it not as good as you?" ”
Jin Million Yan Liang and the other generals were slightly suffocated, speechless, several years of war, all went smoothly, and their hearts also swelled greatly, which is also the reason why Yuan Shang had to beat them repeatedly all the time, he didn't want to see one day the general under his command drop the chain and cause him to capsize in the gutter.
"Open your eyes and give me a good look, Gongsun Chan still wishes we could go out of the city to fight now." Yuan Shang snorted coldly.
Jin Million Yan Liang and other generals who advocated going out of the city to fight all looked carefully, the 100,000 Youzhou Army was gradually approaching, it seemed a little messy, but it was staggered, between the front and rear armies, between the various arms, the connection between the head and the tail was very compact, Jin Million Yan Liang and other generals all changed their faces slightly, only Xu Huang and other people who did not speak The faces remained unchanged, obviously they had already noticed.
Seeing that the two generals of Jin Million and Yan Liang were like this, Yuan Shang was a little disappointed in his heart, after all, he was still not as good as Xu Huang and Zhang Jaw, and his strategic vision and observation and judgment alone were far inferior, and he was indeed brave and brave in killing the enemy, but it was not the courage and resourcefulness that Yuan Shang expected in his heart.
"The whole army does not move, close the gates of the city, the enemy dares to attack the city, and then greet them with swords." Yuan Shang said indifferently.
"Whoa." The generals responded.
