The military meeting presided over by Liu He himself lasted until late at night, and except for making up his mind and intention at the beginning, he kept silent for the rest of the time, and handed over the right to speak to the generals who participated in the discussion.

Liu He still adheres to that concept and is willing to hand over professional things to professional people. Although he had been trained as a soldier in the low-level army for a month, Liu Hezhi said that he was still a fledgling in military operations, far from being able to compare with Xian Yufu, Zhao Yun, Li Yan and others.

As a leader, what Liu He needs to do is to gather everyone together and build a platform for everyone to fully demonstrate their abilities, instead of chirping from beginning to end and treating everyone as his own students. With his identity, there is no need to compare with others at all, because the achievements made by all his subordinates will be counted on Liu He's head at the most.

Everyone was very interested in Li Yan's practice of using different colored pens to directly plot the distribution of the enemy's situation on the topographic map, and it was easy to accept the way Gongzi adopted the way of discussing military affairs. In order to show their personal ability, everyone expressed their opinions and opinions, some proposed a specific ambush plan, some proposed how to lure the enemy into a deep strategy, some suggested that the enemy should show weakness to make the soldiers under Gongsun Chan's command become arrogant, and some proposed to send an envoy to provoke Gongsun Chan to interfere with his attention......

Although there are different opinions, because there are special scribes to record, so after everyone has expressed their personal opinions, a detailed battle plan for Gongsun Chan will begin to take shape, and it will tend to be perfected and applied only after Li Yan's combing and induction.

Liu He's subordinates currently do not have a wise and close demon military advisor, so he adopts this brainstorming method to formulate a battle plan, although the efficiency is a bit low, but it greatly reduces the chance of making mistakes.

Gongsun Zhan also did not have a first-class military advisor to advise him, but after all, he was a battle-hardened military commander, and if he didn't have a few brushes, it would be impossible to mix to the extent that he could compete with Yuan Shao. Liu He wanted to win more with less and defeat the strong with the weak this time, which not only hurt Gongsun Zhan, but also to ensure that his own casualties were not too large, which was not an easy task.

After the discussion was over, Liu He returned to the state pastor's mansion overnight to report his battle plan to Liu Yu, and at the same time put forward some requirements, Liu Yu nodded in agreement after listening.

Although Liu Yu handed over the command of all the soldiers and horses in his hands to Liu He, Liu He did not leave his father alone, he felt that it was very important to maintain the trust between father and son, which was also an important principle and bottom line for him to do things in the future.

Although Liu Yu is a bit foolish and benevolent, he is a qualified politician, as long as he is on the stage for a day, Liu He can save a lot of energy to ponder other things, just like some time ago Liu Yu concentrated on governing the political affairs of the state, while Liu He buried himself in military training and other things.

On the morning of the second day, Liu Yu convened state officials to discuss the matter, and the main topic was how to denounce Gongsun Zhan.

After some deliberation, Liu Yu issued an extremely rare statement, not only characterizing the incident of Zhang's grain resistance in Zhuoxian County, which occurred last winter, as a protest order, but also characterizing the incident in which Zhang Fei led his troops to break into Zhuo County as a rebellion, characterizing Gongsun Zhan's subordinate reconnaissance and rangers patrolling along the Gushui coast as a private checkpoint, and characterizing Gongsun Zhan's subordinates Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan leading their troops into Anci as an invasion.

These qualitative statements seem to have nothing to do with military struggles, but in fact they have a strong guiding force of public opinion, which is very important for the idea of unifying the military and the people in Youzhou, and also has a certain effect on hitting Gongsun Zhan's military morale. It's just that such a serious characterization is equivalent to Liu Yu completely turning his face with Gongsun Zhan, and there is no room for maneuver in the future!

Liu Yu sent a letter to Gongsun Zhan, the wording on it was even more fierce than the last time, not only asking Gongsun Chan to send the head of the murderer Zhang Fei to Jicheng, but also asking Gongsun Chan to immediately lead the army to evacuate Yongnu, and at the same time ordered Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan to evacuate Anci, otherwise they would meet Gongsun Chan and completely drive Gongsun Chan out of Youzhou!

Liu Yu also explained to Gongsun Ji, the messenger who sent the letter, that if his meaning and letter could not be delivered to Gongsun Zhan on time, then Gongsun Ji would come to see him with his head when he returned to Jicheng!

Gongsun Ji and other officials had never seen Liu Yu so tough, and he knew that he was really hanging this time, and if Gongsun Chan killed him in public because of face problems, then he would be an unlucky unjust ghost; If Gongsun Chan spared him with his old feelings, he would not be able to return to Jicheng in the future, not only would his reputation be discredited, but he would also become a traitor seeking glory.

Since Liu Yu handed over this tricky task to Gongsun Ji, he naturally would not allow Gongsun Ji to pack up his family belongings and flee to Yongnu with his family, so he asked people to surround the mansion where Gongsun Ji lived and control all the people in Gongsun Ji's mansion. This time, no matter how clever Gongsun Ji is, he doesn't want to curry favor on both sides and continue to fool him.

At noon on the same day, not long after Gongsun Ji went out of the city to deliver the letter, Jicheng implemented a comprehensive martial law, and all the people in the city could not leave Jicheng for half a step without a "special pass" issued by the state governor's office. The soldiers who are responsible for guarding the four gates of Jicheng have all changed the city, and the troops brought back from Macheng by the eldest prince, even if someone wants to report to the outside of the city, they can't find a gap for a while.

Late that night, a large number of soldiers quietly went out of the city at the west gate of Jicheng, their feet wore special soft-soled shoes, and even the four hooves of the war horses were wrapped with cloth pads, and the heads were hung up, so although the number of people who went out of the city was large, they did not attract the attention of the people in the city.

The reason why Liu He let the troops go out of the city at night was because he was afraid that the people in the city would see the army withdrawing and have some panicked thoughts that should not be there, thinking that Liu Yu and his son were ready to abandon Jicheng and flee elsewhere. This was also done to prevent Gongsun Zan from discovering that Jicheng's defensive strength had been sharply reduced, so that he had the idea of a three-way army going straight to Jicheng.

Another day, Tai Shici led 3,000 soldiers to arrive thirty miles west of Jixian County, and was caught by Liu Zheng, who rushed to meet him, and then changed the direction of the march and marched directly to the Liangxiang area in the south.

On the evening of the third day, a worried Gongsun Ji came to Yongnu and presented Liu Yu's letter, which was likely to completely anger Gongsun Zhan.

Sure enough, when Gongsun Chan read Liu Yu's letter, he trembled with anger and scolded: "Liu Yu's husband! How dare Ann deceive me like this? Do you really think that Ben Hou will not dare to meet him in battle? ”

Seeing that Gongsun Chan was so angry, the subordinates in the account hurriedly asked Gongsun Ji Liu Yu what he wrote in the letter, and how he made General Fenwu angry like this. Gongsun Ji didn't want to say much, but just looked at Gongsun Chan carefully, for fear that he would be angry and angry with his own head.

After Gongsun Zhan scolded, he threw Liu Yu's letter on the ground and said to everyone: "Liu Yu actually asked me to hand over Zhang Yide's head, and asked me to immediately lead the army to evacuate Yongnu, and at the same time ordered Gongsun Yue to evacuate Anci, otherwise he will meet me and drive me out of Youzhou completely!" Ha...... Ha, I really don't know what this dying old horseman is thinking! ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the idea of coercing Liu Yu to withdraw from Guangyang this time was about to fail, and both sides would not give an inch, and in the end they could only solve the problem by fighting each other.

Guan Jing then asked Gongsun Ji: "I also asked Gongsun to carefully explain the situation in Jicheng in the past few days." ”

Gongsun Ji was not afraid that others would ask him about Jicheng's information, but he was afraid that Gongsun Chan would shout, "Someone!" Now seeing that Gongsun Chan did not mean to vent his anger with his own knife, he hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube and explained the situation to everyone carefully.

After listening to this, Gongsun Zhan asked: "Listening to Mr. Gongsun's words, the soldiers that Liu He brought when he returned to Jicheng were better equipped and had higher morale than the soldiers who were originally left behind in Jicheng?" ”

Gongsun Ji replied: "Back to the general's words, the humble post once hid at the head of the city when the Liu family led the army into the city to observe carefully, this time he brought back at least about fifty percent of the soldiers were carefully selected, it is estimated that he is the soldiers in the training regiment he did in Macheng, these soldiers have uniform weapons and armor, and strict discipline, which is completely different from the soldiers who defended the city when I saw in Macheng years ago!" ”

Gongsun Chan sneered and said, "Hmph, I underestimated this Liu family child!" actually took advantage of this time to train thousands of good soldiers in Macheng. However, even if he brought back 10,000 soldiers this time, it would be useless! Jicheng now has nearly 20,000 defenders, and even if our army attacks the city at the same time, Liu Yu can hold out for many days with the help of the city's fortification. Liu Yupifu thought that a single letter would completely anger me, and then induce me to lead an army to attack Jicheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, such a method is really ridiculous! ”

Changshi Guan Jing suggested: "The general is smart! Our army now has an absolute superiority in strength, coupled with the convenience of mutual support, although it is not suitable to attack the well-defended Jicheng head-on, but it can take advantage of the fact that Liu Yu's father and son are shrinking in Jicheng and dare not fight, and quickly capture Zhuojun! ”

"Well, what Guan Changshi said is exactly what Ben Hou thought in his heart, and immediately sent people to Gongsun Yue and Zou Dan to send an order, ordering them to lead the army west into Zhuo County after receiving the order, first take Zhuo County, the seat of Zhuo County, and then pocket all the remaining six counties as quickly as possible!"

Soon after Gongsun Zhan gave the order, he suddenly heard a report from the guards outside the tent: "General Qiyu, a cavalry team of hundreds of people has come from outside the city, and the leaders of the team are named Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, asking to see the general!" ”

"Oh, it turned out that Liu Xuande's two righteous brothers are here! Second brother, you go out of the city on my behalf to welcome these two strong men into the city! Gongsun Chan said to his brother Liu Weitai.

Liu Weitai got Gongsun Zhan's order, slowly and leisurely got on the ox cart, and came up to the south gate. Although this man is a fortune teller, he likes to disguise himself as a scholar, and now he does not go out in a carriage, but gets a luxurious ox cart, and I don't know who he is showing off.

Outside the city of Yongnu, two strong men dressed in the costumes of the captains were sitting on horseback, waiting to enter the city.

I saw that the strong man on the left was nine feet long, nearly thirty years old, wearing a parrot green robe, a pair of red phoenix eyes and thick and black silkworm eyebrows, his face was like a heavy date, his lips were like grease, he had a long black hair on his chin, and he was riding a tall yellow horse under his crotch, and in his right hand he was holding a large knife with a handle more than seven feet long, and the width of the blade was at least one foot and five inches.

I also saw that the strong man on the right was more than eight feet long, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a brown and red robe, with a pair of sword eyebrows that went straight into the sideburns, large and round eyes, a fair and smooth complexion, a straight mouth and nose, and a bit of scholarly atmosphere. He also rode a tall, muscular yellow horse under his crotch, and held a strange-looking spear in his hand.

A strong man with a red face, a green robe and a black beard, his name is Guan Yu, the word Changsheng, a native of Xie County, Hedong, and the second brother of Liu Beizhi. A strong man with a white face, a red robe and big eyes, his name is Zhang Fei, the word Yide, he is a native of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and is the third brother of Liu Beizhi.

A certain Luo portrayed Zhang Fei as a rude image with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, leopard head and eyes, black face and beard, but it was a big fallacy. Among some statues of the Three Kingdoms unearthed in later generations, Zhang Fei did not have a single beard on his face, and his face was like a full moon, and his demeanor was gentle, which was not at all related to the description in the romance. Zhang Fei in history, his hobby is to practice calligraphy and paint beauties, his two daughters are the queen of Shu Han, if Zhang Feichang is rude, Liu Bei can let the daughter of the Zhang family be his daughter-in-law?

Zhang Fei rode on the back of the horse a little impatiently, his face gradually became pale, and he said to the second brother Guan Yu angrily: "This Gongsun Zhan is such a big shelf, since you are inviting my two brothers to come to help in the battle, why do you still let us wait outside the city for so long!" ”

Guan Yu whispered to stop Zhang Fei: "Third brother, now that you have arrived in Jicheng, you must pay attention to your words, don't annoy General Fenwu, and make it difficult for the eldest brother to be caught in the middle." ”

Although Zhang Fei had a short temperament, he could still listen to the words of his second brother Guan Yu, so he nodded and said in a low voice: "Hmph, this time the two of us brothers will show a few hands on the battle array, so that he can see our methods, and save him from being so arrogant in the future!" ”
