Chapter 356: The Affair of Youzhou (10)
It didn't take long for Gongsun Chan to join up with the defeated defenders in Yijing City.
After learning that Fan Yangcheng's reinforcements were killed by Zhang He, a general under Xu Ji, he lost his armor and returned defeated, he couldn't help but jump like thunder.
However, after hearing the whole process of Yi Jingcheng being captured, Gongsun Zhan was shocked and angry, and he didn't expect that Xiongguan Tiecheng, which he had been operating for a long time, was as vulnerable as paper paste in front of the Yanzhou army. Yi Jing has been lost, and Gongsun Chan was really killed by Xu Ji after this battle, and fled, although there were only two thousand cavalry from Yanzhou behind him, but Gongsun Chan did not dare to stay, all the way to the death of the mad, did not even enter the city of Zhuo County, all the way to the southwest, bent on returning to Yi Jingcheng, and the defenders in the city of Zhuo County saw that their commander passed through Zhuo County and did not enter, and thought that there was a flood beast behind Gongsun Zhan, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to defend in Zhuo County, and he actually abandoned the city and fled, following Gongsun Zhan.
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Ji got the city of Zhuo County without much effort. Now Gongsun Chan can be said to have fallen into a heavy encirclement, the Yijing City in the west has been in the hands of Xu Ji, and Xu Ji himself is sitting there in Zhuo County, if it is to the south, Anxi, Gaoyang, and Renqiu are originally within the sphere of influence of the Yanzhou army, and the only way to retreat can only be to the north, but the problem is that Daixian and Baideng on the back are already Liu He's strength territory, and Gongsun Chan has no room to survive at all.
Even if you venture to the Upper Valley, it should now fall into the hands of the steppe aliens. As for Gongsun Zhan's defenders in Yuyang, the whereabouts of them are still unknown, and it seems that they have been trapped by Zhang He's army, which is haunted by the north of Fanyang City. Moreover, Yuyang also has to be the horns of each other to resist the grassland aliens in the north.
Fan Yang is very safe, and Gongsun Zan still has a large army that can provide continuous support from Liaoxi. But now it is far from quenching thirst.
Moreover, these armies also had to defend against the attacks of the steppe aliens from the north. It's simply a flawless clone. In this way, Gongsun Chan was in a situation of ambush on all sides. And he went to the supply of grain and grass, which was simply a lonely and poor army. It's a very dangerous situation.
The only thing that made him happy was that Xu Ji's "mother" was still in his hands.
That means you still have an advantage.
But for Xun You and Xu Ji's attacks on him, Gongsun Zhan was still puzzled. The only explanation is that Xun Yu was intimidated by Xu Ji's might. It had to be like this, and it didn't have any effect on Xun You. If Xun You and Guo Jia are one party, he would like Xu Ji to suffer a big loss in Youzhou.
Otherwise. Xun You has such a powerful siege, but he has been in Youzhou for a long time. It really doesn't make sense.
Now that Gongsun Chan is beaten so badly, he took Yi Jingcheng down at once, and he was obviously forcing Gongsun Chan to go crazy. Although Xu Ji had a strong army in hand, the 10,000 cavalry was limited after all, and he could not attack the city. If you want to completely solve the problem of Gongsun Zhan, you must rely on Xun You.
So this battle is not so much about Xun You succumbing to Xu Ji. It's better to say that Xun You is demonstrating to Xu Ji.
But the problem is that Xu Ji clearly knows that his mother is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan.
Military advisor Guan Jing thinks that Xu Ji is testing Gongsun Zhan's bottom line by doing this: "Xu Ji is like a ghost. He knew that he himself could not persecute his lord too much. But he also knew that he couldn't do anything to his mother, because once something happened to his mother, he would never give up. β
Gongsun Zhan's subordinates were deeply convinced by the analysis of the police officers.
"Xu Ji has two advantages to doing this now, one is to further weaken the lord's strength in Youzhou, and the second advantage is that he hopes to negotiate with the lord. After all, we don't know how to deal with Xu Ji's mother, this is definitely not something Xu Ji can bear, Xu Ji is making this posture now, I am afraid that he is showing us: If we don't talk to him well, then he will continue to attack the lord. I'm sure. Xun You's army will also attack Fanyang City. Guan Jing calmly analyzed: "The form of the lord is so dangerous now, in the final analysis, it is to find an opportunity to negotiate with the lord. Hum. Not attacking Liu He's camp for five consecutive days turned out to be the original purpose, and this person's plan was really not ordinary. No wonder so many court elders, the wisdom of the battlefield will be defeated in front of Xu Ji, and it will end miserably. Gongsun Zhan's eyes were full of fierce light, and he said coldly: "Xu Ji, you are ruthless enough!" Hum! How can my Gongsun Chan let you succeed Your mother is now in my hands, it's a big deal, let's have a fish to die and break the net!"
Guan Jing was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said: "The lord is right, the initiative is in our hands, but we don't need to fight with Xu Ji, Xu Ji is just testing the lord's bottom?" Then we will want Xu Ji to reap the consequences and let him bear the charge of unfilial piety!"
A cold light flashed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Xu Ji's mother, who was sitting on the horse at this time, and said coldly: "Is it to kill this old woman?"
Guan Jing shook his head and said: "Of course not, we can negotiate with Xu Ji, and then cut off one of his mother's fingers in front of Xu Ji or something, mother and son are connected, in the face of bloody facts, I don't believe that Xu Ji will finish any tricks with the lord!"
Gongsun Chan was overjoyed and said, "This plan is wonderful!"
After that, the crowd under Gongsun Chan laughed. The masters of the Yuan family" glanced at each other. I laughed happily too. Of course, the reasons for both parties to be happy are different.
Gongsun Zhan immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu Ji, who was repairing in Zhuo County at this time. said that he wanted to talk to Xu Ji. The venue for the negotiations was just outside the city of Zhuo County. When Xu Ji received the letter, he was sitting with Chen Zhi in the hall of Zhuo County. After Chen Zhi's introduction, Xu Ji learned a lot about the customs and habits of the grassland aliens, for example, if you want to tell whether a person is a spy sent by the grassland alien tribes to the Central Plains, you only need to observe his appearance in the rivers in the suburbs.
The people of the Central Plains generally drink water by squatting at the water's edge and holding the water in both hands to drink, but the people of the grassland alien race and the water are different, they will lie on their sides. Supporting the ground with one hand, waiting for the ground with one foot slightly, leaning down and quickly picking up the water with one hand and putting it to his mouth to drink it quickly. Then raise your head and look warily in all directions. The purpose of this is, of course, simple. Because there are many beasts in the grassland. Especially cunning wolves, when they are in the wind. Favorite to attack humans in the sound of grass rattling. And people of different races in the steppe can pay attention to all directions when they drink water like this. And when there is an emergency, stand up as soon as possible.
This kind of common sense is known to five or six-year-old children of the steppe alien race. So it has become a habit for them, inadvertently, they are easy to leak the stuffing of the inadvertent thing, not to grow a wisdom, when Xu Ji sighed in his heart, Gongsun Zhandi's fast letter also arrived.
Xu Ji read the letter with a smile, and then said to Chen Zhi: "Sure enough, as Xun You expected, our General Gongsun is really obedient." I want to talk to him outside Zhuojun this afternoon. He also said that it was best to send him some grain and grass first. He didn't want to watch my mother go hungry either.
Chen Zhi sighed: "I didn't expect General Gongsun to be so ruthless and want to attack such a big old man, hey!" Although it is fake. Xu Ji pondered for a long time before he said: "Uncle Zhi, don't say that, everyone has their own shortcomings, and my filial piety to my mother is just my own business." But in the struggle for the world, this point is definitely a shortcoming that can be exploited, and the so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit. Gongsun Chan is understandable to do this, to be honest, if my mother is really arrested, I really don't know what to do. Similarly, am I also taking advantage of Gongsun Zhan's stubbornness and ruthlessness now? Everyone is each other. Fighting on the battlefield is based on the land, and the kindness of a woman will only lead to a big mistake. β
Chen Zhi was silent for a while. Cai smiled bitterly and said: "The lord is open-minded and has a thousand miles of vision. Subordinates admire. Xu Ji stood up and said leisurely: "Anyway, I will not refuse to come, and there should be a break between me and Gongsun Zhan." β
Chen Zhi nodded, and a touch of regret flashed in his eyes again, after all, as a border general, Gongsun Zhan is definitely worthy of being an idol in the hearts of the great Han warriors.
In the afternoon, the autumn breeze is soft and the sun is abundant.
In the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse, Xu Ji's army and Gongsun Zhan's army finally gathered outside Zhuojun City. Creation makes people, so in an instant, Xu Ji and Gongsun Zhan's eyes were intertwined like thunder and lightning, entangled for a long time and unwilling to separate.
"Gongsun Chan!" Although Xu Ji's figure was not majestic, he jumped off his horse without hesitation at this time, raised his gun, and shouted at Gongsun Zhan.
"Xu Ji!" Gongsun Chan showed off his might in front of his army in the same way.
"Gongsun Zhan, what do you have to say, just say it, I'll listen to you!" Xu Ji said loudly. Gongsun Zhan looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, his voice shook the wilderness, and then he said expressionlessly: "Xu Ji, we don't talk darkly, I want you to send grain and grass to my army today, why don't you send it?" β
Xu Jixin said that this Gongsun Zan is really ruthless enough, his son was arrested, and he didn't even mention it, he was really the true character of the first ruthless person in the Three Kingdoms, and on the surface, he said casually: "If General Gongsun wants, he can naturally come to our army to get it, as long as he can defeat my Yanzhou army, my Yanzhou grain General Gongsun wants as much as he wants, as for sending food, I'm sorry, I don't have this habit in Yanzhou!" Gongsun Zhan was angry, laughed angrily, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, General Xu said it really well." I think General Xu really doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin. β
Xu Ji said indifferently: "Joke! I thought that General Gongsun Chan came to me to talk to me about my mother. It's not any grain and grass, hmph, if my mother has three long and two short, I will not let you go! β
Gongsun Dirt's eyes shrank when he heard this, and he said coldly: "If something happens to Ling Ci, it is also the credit of Your Excellency, and it has nothing to do with people." With a wave of his hand, the army behind Gongsun Zhan was divided into two rows, and several war horses came to the front, Xu Ji looked at it spiritually, and his mother was sitting on a war horse, and beside his mother was a strange face.
Although he was already mentally prepared, Xu Ji was still taken aback: This mother dressed up by Yan Yuer is too similar, right?
It can be seen how clever the makeup technique of the shadow under the Yanzhou account is, and it can definitely be fake. However, this has nothing to do with Xu Ji, and it is still the craftsmen under the Yanzhou account who are skilled enough to make this kind of thing.
Of course, Yan Yuer's actions to learn her mother are also vivid, which is of course due to Yan Yuer's long-term care for her mother.
Come to think of it. Xu Ji said in a deep voice to Gongsun Zhan: "Gongsun Zhan, say your request, what I don't like the most is to be a human being." β
Hearing this, Gongsun Dirt shouted: "Okay! General Xu Ji is quick to speak. What's Xu Ji, you are now withdrawing Xun You's army that is about to attack Fanyang City. Then let me know Liaoxi! β
Xu Ji nodded and whispered: "What else?" β
Gongsun snorted coldly and said, "I'll talk about the rest of the matter later." You now meet these requirements of mine, otherwise. Hum. I can't be sure I won't be kind to your mother. β
Xu Ji said casually: "Oh? You're welcome? Gongsun Chan laughed wildly, and Xu Ji took the opportunity to gestion to the army behind him. Ask them to prepare for the attack.
After Gongsun Chan finished laughing, he said hatefully: "Why are you welcome? You have caused me to lose so many soldiers and horses. I'm going to show you an example now, and I'm going to let you reap the consequences! β
waved his hand to those "Yuan" families and ordered them to do it.
One horse stepped forward. A "Yuan" master with a silver gun stepped forward. Xu Ji's whole body became excited, ready to impact.
The master of the "Yuan family" family came to Yan Yu'er's side, pulled out his waist knife, flashed silver in the sun, and slashed at the rope that bound Yan Yu'er, but the people on Gongsun Zhan's side thought that this person was cutting off Xu Ji's "mother's" finger.
The knife flashed. Xu Ji shouted, "Sicknessββ! "Lead the way. rushed over, and the Yanzhou cavalry behind him immediately followed, rushing towards Gongsun Zhan's army like a stormy wave.
Gongsun Zan was taken aback, and before coming to Zhuojun to negotiate with Xu Ji, he had calculated everything, and he didn't expect Xu Ji to take such an action. Gongsun Zhan's army was in chaos. When Gongsun Chan hadn't reacted to what was going on. I only felt that a silver light flashed next to me, and in shock, I turned my head and saw that Xu Ji's mother, who was old and long, had straightened her waist at this time. A silver gun in his hand, the silver light just now was the spear flower that the old man scattered after taking the silver gun from the hand of the "Yuan" master.
Could it be that Xu Ji's mother is a master herself? But I really haven't heard of who Xu Ji's master is, is it really his mother? However, Gongsun Chan had no time to think about these questions. Because the opponent's silver spear has already attacked him in a stormy wave.
Gongsun Chan is also a master of using guns, and when he saw such a wonderful marksmanship, he was immediately moved.
Gongsun Chan has a good eye. At a glance, you can see that even if you do it with all your might. I'm afraid that it may not be the opponent of the old lady's twenty moves on the other side. It's a pity that Gongsun Chan has been domineering just now, and he didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation at all. With only a sword in his hand, where is Yan Yuer's opponent?
After only three moves, Gongsun Chan only felt that his wrist was numb, and his sword fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the tip of the gun had stopped at Gongsun Zhan's throat.
Gongsun Zhan's eyes were red, and he said viciously: "Who are you?" "Humph! Mrs. Ben is Yan Yuer, the original wife of Yanzhou General Gao Shun! Yan Yu'er has been silent these days, naturally she has suffered a lot, and now once it breaks out, Yan Yu'er has an indescribable joy in her heart.
Gongsun Zhan's face changed, of course he had heard of Yan Yuer's name, but he only knew that Gao Shun had such a wife, but he never thought that the other party's marksmanship would be so fascinating. Gongsun Chan fell into the hands of Yan Yu'er, which immediately caused even greater panic in Gongsun Chan's army, whose morale was already extremely low.
However, Gongsun Chan roared: "What are you panicking about? Have you forgotten what I said? Kill me! β
When Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue saw that their brother was arrested, of course they refused to give up, and took their own soldiers to rush up with a roar, but they were entangled by the shadows of those who pretended to be masters of the Yuan family. When Yan Yu'er turned her head to look, she knew that as long as Xu Ji's cavalry came up, her own people would be safe, but there were too many people on the other side.
And Gongsun Chan Shuang is really not enough as a threat, although he does not speak by Gongsun Chan's side, but this period of time has long been a period of time has not necessarily understood Gongsun Chan's temper, Gongsun Chan has always thought that no one and a captive are worth rescuing, including himself. Thinking of this, Yan Yuer swung the silver gun in her hand and gently hit Gongsun Chan's head, knocking it to the ground, and then shot Gongsun Chan's arms and legs, so that he couldn't move even if he woke up.
Then turn around and swing your gun and join the action.
A phantom jumped off his horse at an opportune moment, lifted Gongsun Chan to the horse, and pressed it on his horse. As soon as Yan Yu'er made a move, she was immediately earth-shattering, and her strong strength was like an all-pervasive hurricane, swooping down on the enemy.
Xu Ji looked even more anxious, because he knew that although Yan Yu'er's martial arts were extremely high, after all, she was already a mother of two children, and her physical strength was definitely not as long as before she married Gao Shun, although now she was even better in her comprehension of marksmanship, but it could not last. Although Xu Ji's skills are not top-notch, there is still no big problem in facing this kind of battle, so he is forced to take action in person after all.
Thinking of this, Xu Ji shouted, and the war horses under his crotch rushed towards Gongsun Zhan's army like an avalanche. Finally, when Yan Yu'er was looking at the thirty-four cavalry, Xu Ji rushed to the front.
With a long roar, the marksmanship that was in the same vein as Chen Zhi poured out casually!
With Xu Ji's move, it also marked the complete end of Youzhou Gongsun Zhan's power. (To be continued......)
