Wang Yu's surprise was not trivial.

Except for Zhao Yun, Gongsun Jun's generals were not very famous in later generations, but after being in contact for so long, Wang Yu certainly would not treat Zou Dan as a nobody. can make Zou Dan lose his temper to this point, it seems that Gongsun Zhan's situation is really ......

Wang Yu shuddered suddenly, grabbed Zou Dan as if he was awake, didn't care about hearing the news, got on the horse directly, and headed in the direction of Juyong City. Tai Shi Ci and Huang Ze were a little caught off guard, wanting to keep up, and remembering that the Chinese army could not be left unpresiding, the two looked at each other, and finally Tai Shi Ci followed.

It is unlikely that the Gongsun army has any bad intentions, but there are many routs in the four places, and the lord looks completely distracted, and it is not good to have a capable person around him to protect him.

The battlefield is only a few miles away from Juyong City, and it will not take a moment and a half to reach it at a gallop. The horse was very fast, and was blown by the oncoming wind, Wang Yu was slightly sober, and then Gu Shang asked Zou Dan for details.

"When the war began today, didn't Brother Bo Jue himself beat the drums and cheer for the brothers? Later, Xian Yufu didn't attack the city, why did it suddenly happen? ”

"Wang Junhou didn't know that he was raided by the Xianbei army that day, and on the day of the bloody battle, my lord was seriously injured. During this time, the Xianbei people and Zahu took turns to fight, and the attack was not stopped, the city was small, and the defenders were limited, so it was all up to the lord to take the lead and boost morale to persevere......"

Zou Dan had a guilty and helpless expression on his face, Gongsun Zhan persisted for more than ten days with injuries, and at first he was only supervising the battle in the city, and later Xian Yufu and others built a large number of siege equipment, and the offensive was several times fiercer than before.

Seeing that the defenders suffered heavy casualties, Gongsun Chan couldn't care about his injuries. With more than 100 personal guards, he put out fires everywhere in the city. A series of battles were fought. Naturally, he was injured and injured, if it weren't for the winter. An infection in the wound alone could kill him.

"In that case, why didn't you come and ask me earlier?" Wang Yu said angrily: "The divine doctor Hua Tuo is in our army, he has the ability to rejuvenate his hands, and he is especially good at treating sword wounds, if you come to sue me as soon as possible, I will order someone to pick it up quickly, maybe the person has arrived!" ”

Hearing Hua Tuo's name, Zou Dan was also moved, but soon returned to his previous deplorable appearance: "The prince doesn't know ...... something."

Gongsun Chan has been fighting in the border for many years. From a small soldier to a general, injuries are commonplace, but he won't just fall down, what really broke him down was heart disease.

"Heart disease?" Wang Yu was stunned.

Gongsun Chan gave him the impression that he had always been the bold and proud white horse general, such a person could die in battle, but if it was said that the heart disease was difficult to cure or something, it was really unimaginable.

"It's a heart disease." Zou Dan's expression was slightly hesitant. But the tone did not wander, and the answer was quite affirmative.

Wang Yu frowned, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Could it be related to something?" ”

“…… The same can be said. Zou Dan replied hesitantly: "Although the prince and the lord of my family have no truth of worship. But he has long had the righteousness of Jinlan, and he should know the lord's character. In fact, this time the lord did not wait for the prince and the marquis to arrive. Raising troops to the north first, it is not as the world thinks. I want to take Youzhou quickly and fight against Qingzhou......"

"I know. I know. Wang Yu sighed: "Big brother just doesn't want people to think that he wants me to be a brother in everything, but I am not careful." ”

Gongsun Chan's image in later generations is usually that of a vulgar warlord who has neither the knowledge nor the political vision, is blindly fierce and cruel, and has ambitions that do not match his strength.

But after more contact, Wang Yu felt that the evaluation of Gongsun Chan in later generations was really a bit biased.

The battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao is often used as an example, some people praise the power of the strong crossbow, some people praise Yuan Shao's way of employing people in the early stage, and some people criticize Gongsun Chan's unscrupulousness.

But as Wang Yu saw, the biggest reason why Gongsun Chan lost to Yuan Shao was just that his strength was too weak.

Speaking of the army alone, Gongsun Chan seems to be stronger, but soldiers are only one of the decisive factors in the outcome of the war, and more important than the number of soldiers is the supply and transportation. In this regard, Gongsun Chan lost a lot to Yuan Shao.

In the strategic situation, Yuan Shao formed an alliance with Cao Cao in the south, and Zhang Yang and Gaogan in the west were all vassal forces, and they could concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zhan. And Gongsun Chan has been facing the enemy on two sides or even three sides from beginning to end, while fighting against Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he also has to deal with the dumping of Liu Yu and the local forces in Youzhou, as well as the invasion of Xianbei and Karasuma from time to time.

If Gongsun Chan is really a very ambitious hero, he will definitely try to get out of this unfavorable situation before deciding to fight for the world.

Either concentrate on dealing with Liu Yu and the local forces in Youzhou, or first defeat the Karasuma people in one go, and then use the power of the alien race to contribute to their own hegemony plan like those heroes who are close to the border in later generations.

Even Cao Cao, who was eloquent and strategic, after defeating the Karasuma people who sheltered Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang in history, also incorporated a large number of Hu cavalry and greatly enriched his tiger and leopard cavalry; Zhuge Liang, a wise multi-star, also formed an alliance with the Qiang people and fought together when he was attacking Guanzhong. Not to mention Li Yuan in the Sui and Tang dynasties in later generations, Shi Jingjiao of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The heroes who compete for the top of the world are originally doing everything. People like Gongsun Chan who have always adhered to principles are almost rare, not to mention rare.

Because of this, Wang Yu was so generous after the Hebei War, and assigned all the counties in northern Hebei to Gongsun Chan in one go, because he knew very well that with Gongsun Zhan's character, the integration of the two armies was a simple matter, as long as he waited for an opportunity to come.

Gongsun Chan should have had this meaning at that time, the reason why he didn't succeed immediately was mainly because he couldn't save face, and felt that his eldest brother, who was supposed to shelter his little brother from the wind and rain, but was rescued and even taken care of by the other party, and he couldn't turn this corner in his heart.

This rush to the north is a concentrated embodiment of this mentality.

In the past two years, Wang Yu has not stopped, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu have not been idle, and the big battle between the two sides has not been fought, but there are constant small frictions in private. Liu Yu intended to collude with Hu Ren Koubian, but in fact, the target was Wang Yu, but in Gongsun Zhan's opinion, it was for himself.

With his troops, it is indeed very difficult to deal with Liu Yujia Xianbei and Karasuma, but when did General Hakuba be afraid? If you can't win, you have to fight! At this time, Wang Yu launched a huge northern expedition.

From Qingzhou's point of view, before attacking the Central Plains, it is necessary to completely stabilize the rear, so the northern expedition is imperative. But for Gongsun Zhan, something is wrong - this is the brother helping the eldest brother find a field!

So, when he was not fully prepared, he hurriedly sent troops north, and finally was attacked. Hearing Zou Dan say this, Wang Yu understood it all at once, so he had that thoughtless sentence.

Objectively speaking, Gongsun Chan was forced to go north by himself.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Wang Yu originally wanted to go to Yijing to meet Gongsun Zan before the army was launched, and talk about it in person. But there were too many affairs before the expedition, and Zhao Yun fought too well in Zhongshan and Changshan, so it was delayed.

In a word, it is a lack of communication.

The biggest obstacle in this era is communication, there is no phone call, video, just a few letters, it is difficult to explain all the implications, misunderstandings are inevitable. If I knew this was the case, I should have let Kong Ming go first.

Wang Yu sighed repeatedly.

"No wonder the prince, it's my lord's temperament that is too upright, and Dan and his colleagues have not fulfilled their duties to persuade the lord." Zou Dan was also full of regret, thinking that if he had tried his best to persuade each other at the beginning, he would have been able to delay it for at least a few days, and when Wang Yu arrived at Yijing and told the misunderstanding, the two sides would be able to cooperate and fight together, not only today?

"After the war, Dan and his single brother went to the city to pay a visit, thinking of thanking your army with the lord, but they didn't want to have fallen without the lord...... Guan Zhushu said that although the external injury is serious, it is still secondary, and the key is that the lord has a will to die in his heart, and it is not something that can be effective. ”

Wang Yu snorted coldly: "When he sees a certain person, maybe he will be even more touched, so you don't want to come to inform Yu XX?" ”

"Marquis Mingjian." Zou Dan replied softly, full of shame.

This is the case, if Wang Yu hadn't taken the initiative to send an envoy over to inquire, the city medicine craftsman also said that he had no skills to return to heaven, Gongsun Zhan's life was instantaneous, and he and Shan Jing still wanted to delay time.

"You guys......" Wang Yu shook his head repeatedly.

Zou Dan and Shan Jing are not selfish this time, if they are selfish, they should promote the meeting between themselves and Gongsun Chan as soon as possible, the more respectful the better, after all, the integration of the two armies is a foregone conclusion, these two people will be messing around under their own hands in the future, Gongsun Chan is seriously injured and dying, will selfish people not hurry up and slap themselves?

These two people procrastinated purely out of loyalty, but they did bad things with good intentions.

"Dan knows that he is deeply responsible, and he is willing to let the prince punish him afterwards, but I hope that when the prince sees my lord, he will speak as tactfully as possible, so that he can go without hindrance." Zou Dan leaned over and said on the horse, his voice sad.

"You beg me for this?" Wang Yu still shook his head: "So, you don't understand the eldest brother at all, you have to be smart." If you have a heart disease, you should be careful of the doctor, do you think that the eldest brother is a little woman with a small belly and chicken intestines, and there is no room for people? Seeing someone will aggravate his condition, it's a shame that you can figure it out! ”

Zou Dan looked back in amazement, with a blank expression: "What does the prince mean......"

"Rotten wood is hard to carve, and you don't understand it when I told you." Wang Yu waved his hand, ignored Zou Dan, and instructed his own guard: "Flying Pigeon Chuan Jixian, quickly invite Mr. Yuanhua to come here......" After thinking about it, he added: "Let Kong Ming go to find Zhang Yiling, just say that Ben will be seriously injured and needs to be treated urgently!" ”

“…… Here! Wang Yu's order was really a bit strange, and the guards were stunned, so they took the order and left.

"Let's go, go into the city, go see the eldest brother, and let me cure him of this heart disease." (To be continued......)
