Chapter 120, Qiao's occupation of Youzhou

Almost at the same time, Gongsun Zhan also received information about the attack of Yuan Benchu's army under the report of the scout. He was a little surprised, a little incredulous, but more angry.

I thought that Zu Zhao had just finished fighting the Three Kingdoms in the North and swallowed Liaodong with a great loss of vitality, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, Yuan Shao would actually attack it.

Gongsun Zan was not worried at all about what the imperial court had crowned Zu Zhao as the general of the expedition, and he was not worried about the princes of the world rising up to attack him. If you can swallow Liaodong, then you will be the largest and most powerful, what else is there to be afraid of?! What's more, now that the princes are busy with their own affairs, who will care about the affairs of the north.

But he was making a wishful calculation, but halfway through he killed Yuan Shaolai and stepped on his abacus under his feet, how could he not be angry!

"Yuan Benchu's army?" Gongsun Chan sat down, and a certain advisor expressed disbelief.

"That is indeed Yuan Benchu's army, and we have also inquired, he is equipped with grain, grass and horses, and it seems that he is indeed coming to capture our city." The scout said truthfully.

"Yuan Benchu, I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu would take the initiative to send troops to us at this time, it's really unreasonable." The strategist was the one who planned the annexation of Liaodong for Gongsun Zhan, and he thought that if he wanted to defeat Zu Zhao, he could only take advantage of this when he had finished fighting the Three Kingdoms in the North and his vitality was greatly damaged, but what he didn't expect was that this wishful thinking was in vain because of Yuan Benchu's attack. Looking at the sad appearance of the lord on the seat, he really understood the lord's mood. However, at this time, what else can you do but sigh and think of countermeasures?!

The fleeting opportunity is destined to be gone.

The man on the high seat stared at the scout below and said coldly, "Haven't you noticed anything unusual on Yuan Benchu's side recently?" There must be a reason why we sent our troops so suddenly. ”

Gongsun Zhan's meaning was that this scout was derelict in his duties. The scout was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Lord Mingjian, before today, I really haven't received any news of Yuan Shao's movements." Even yesterday, he was still drinking and having fun with his concubines, and he had no intention of attacking the city......"

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he was even more angry: "I haven't done much business, but this Huahua News knows the truth very clearly!" Someone ...... coming."

"Lord!" One of the generals in the third seat suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "Lord, spare him." Not only can he know what Yuan Shao was doing yesterday, but he also thinks that the work of this investigation has really been done, and Yuan Ben was originally a freewheeling person, and this sudden dispatch of troops is probably also a whim. ”

"A whim?!" Gongsun Chan sneered, "What a whim!" But looking at the world, the princes all want to win the supreme, so is it a whim? ”

At this point, everyone who asked was silent. No one dared to intercede for the scout.

Gongsun Chan stared at the scout's eyes with murderous intent. However, at this moment, a black-robed general on Gongsun Zhan's left stood up, and suddenly said to the scout who was trembling on his knees: "Let me ask you, how are Yuan Benchu's soldiers and grain, grass and horses?" ”

The black-robed general who asked the question was none other than the chief general under Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun.

When the scout saw that it was Zhao Yun who asked him, he hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, Yuan Shao's soldiers are very imposing, and their horses are excellent, and the food is even more abundant. He knew that as long as he could say one more word in this temple now, the higher the possibility of his birth. And General Zhao is a well-known soldier who loves soldiers, and he is still the person most valued by the lord, if he wants to, he can save himself if he wants to.

Zhao Yun didn't mention the words of Gongsun Zan to let this scout go, but said slowly: "According to my understanding of Yuan Benchu, he shouldn't have made any big moves against us, unless someone is playing tricks on us in the back, Yuan Benchu didn't move, you didn't see anyone else moving?" Don't rush, think about it. ”

Zhao Yun knew that Gongsun Zan was stubborn and self-serving, if he persuaded directly, it would definitely be useless, he could only delay while creating opportunities for this scout.

However, the scout shook his head helplessly: "The villain is only responsible for monitoring Yuan Benchu, but he doesn't know anything about ......the rest."

However, at this time, Gongsun Zhan's attention was no longer on him, but sighed: "What General Zhao said is not wrong at all, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can cover our ears and eyes and make Yuan Benchu well-equipped in such a short period of time." So we must not be sloppy in this battle, who of you is willing to fight a first battle and compete with Yuan Shao. ”

After saying this, he glanced at the people who were talking about it, and his eyes were cold.

"General, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses to fight with Yuan Benchu." The first to step forward was naturally Zhao Yun. He had fought with Yuan Benchu's people before, and he knew that the army was not very good, so he thought about making another great contribution this time to consolidate his position.

Since Zhao Yun asked for war, Gongsun Chan had no reason. When he responded, he ordered his troops and horses to fight. Zhao Yun was the best general under him, and Gongsun Chan had reason to believe that as long as Zhao Yun went to war, half of the battle would be won.

At the same time, Yuan Shao's army was only thirty miles away from Youzhou.

At this distance, it should have been a battle to defend the city, but Zhao Yun was brave, and because he had won a general under Yuan Shao before, he was very confident in his heart, and he actually brought 15,000 elite soldiers out of Youzhou City to face the battle.

Twenty miles away from Youzhou City, Zhao Yun ordered people to set up camp.

In the camp, one of Zhao Yun's lieutenants said, "General, what are we waiting here?!" When someone commits a crime, shouldn't we give Yuan Thief a head start? In this way, we can dampen their spirit, and second, we can also boost the overall morale of our whole army. "Apparently the lieutenant is already a little bit eager to try.

"Don't worry!" Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "They have been running so far for a long time, and their morale is high, so it's best to wait for another attack." In fact, he wanted to dig some more trenches and traps, and wanted to give the other party the effect of a horse stumbling forward. If there is only courage and no strategy in such a thing as fighting, it is tantamount to seeking a dead end, and at best it is only a butcher.

However, just as Zhao Yun's words fell, a person from outside the camp came to report-

"General. A young general under Yuan Shao has now been scolded outside the camp, and the soldiers are not angry, whether to fight or not? ”

"They all scolded and came to the door. How could it not be a fight! The lieutenant suddenly got up and raged.

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was also unhappy in his heart, and said: "Even so, there is nothing to say, let's go and beat him up first, and then think about the rest in the long run!" So saying, he took the lead out of the tent.

After a while, Zhao Yun heard a person shouting outside the camp-

"Zhao Yun'er. If you don't hurry up and come out to die, let you take a look at it today, you Uncle Li Soul is amazing. ”

The one who scolded the formation was the deputy general of a general under Yuan Benchu.

"Ha Luha, you don't come out yet, do you want to be a shrunken turtle?" The more Li Soul scolded, the more energetic he became, and the soldiers behind him laughed with Da Lu after hearing Li Soul's words.

Before the words fell, I only heard a sound of breaking the sky, pointing directly at Li Soul, who was scolding immediately, Li Soul's skills were also considered to be the leader among the lieutenants, and this arrow was far away, so when it came to him, the strength was not as good as before, and it was blocked by him with a knife. He had palpitations, but he was unconvinced: "You fucking haven't eaten when you let go of the arrows!" ”

The soldiers behind him burst into laughter.

However, the few people who rushed out of the opposite barracks did not have bows and arrows in their hands, and Li Soul was very surprised. But soon, the surprise turned into shock—

Zhao Yunying led his team vigorously, holding a spear, and the other hand was clearly a bow and arrow. The arrow just now turned out to be shot by Zhao Yun, and according to the speed of the horse, when he shot that arrow just now, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Yun was five hundred steps away from Li Soul. This man has such strength and precision! How terrible is this!

The soldiers behind Li Soul looked at Zhao Yun who was like a killing god, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't lie, don't mess up." Li Soul also noticed the strangeness behind him, and comforted him.

"You were calling for battle just now." When Zhao Yun waited to drive the horse to Li Soul, he asked him.

"It's me, master." Seeing Zhao Yun's Li Soul, he didn't show the fear of the fixed point, the two armies faced each other, and the most taboo thing was to lose the battle, even if he was afraid, he couldn't show it.

"Hehe, okay, in Yuan Shao's military tent, there will be people like you." Zhao Yun looked at the current Li Soul, obviously with a sense of contempt.

"Zhao Yunxiaoer, don't pretend in front of grandpa, let grandpa and I take you today. Let me know how powerful the master is. Li Soul glanced at the current Zhao Yun, and then rushed to him with a spear and a horse. Although he was shocked by Zhao Yun's arrow, at this time, he could only bite the bullet.

"Don't measure yourself, look at how good I am." Zhao Yun followed and held his spear. It's to meet the past.

Li Soul had heard of Zhao Yun's name before, so he also wanted to really compete with him. The arrow just now made him feel a little palpitating, but this emotion was insignificant in the face of life and death, and at this time, Li Soul had already adjusted his state.

"Drink!" Li Soul held his spear and stabbed at Zhao Yun on the horse, but this horseback is naturally not as good as the land, and the strength and accuracy are a little out of state.

Fighting on horseback is also a test for both sides.

"Good boy. Look at how good I am. While speaking, Zhao Yun made a counterattack against the current Li Soul, and shot at Li Soul's head.

Li Soul saw this. He held his spear high and followed the crossbar in front of his chest, impartially, just to catch his blow.

Zhao Yun did not slow down, but took away the spear and continued to stab at the current Li Soul, Zhao Yun's marksmanship is known as the overlord spear in the army, how can Li Soul be his opponent, after several battles, Li Soul suddenly understood in his heart, where would he be his opponent.

"Come on, let me see how good you are." Looking at Li Soul, who didn't dare to attack now, Zhao Yun shouted in high spirits.

"Don't be arrogant, look at my means." Angered by Zhao Yun like this, Li Soul didn't care much, but held the spear and kicked the horse's belly with both feet, which was towards the current Zhao Yun, and attacked again.

"Just in time." ZHAO Yun,. couldn't help but follow Yile, but attacked towards the current Li Soul.

"Look at the guns." As he spoke, Li Soul held his spear and stabbed it towards Zhao Yun's body.

Zhao Yun followed and went to the back, but he dodged Li Soul's shot, which made the current Li Soul even more angry, and then looked at the current Zhao Yun, and there was also a feeling of gritting his teeth.

"You're still a little tender." As he spoke, Zhao Yun held his spear and stormed over, and Li Soul did not retreat when he saw this, but followed to meet him.

"Drink." Li Soul stabbed towards the current Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun quickly dismounted, and then stabbed towards the current Li Soul with his right hand holding the spear.

Li Soul saw that the spear was about to reach him, and hurriedly reined in his war horse, and the war horse was frightened, and suddenly threw the current Li Soul under the horse.

Li Soul to Zhao Yun, where will it be the opponent, is the confrontation with this call, because Li Soul was killed by Zhao Yun under the gun. Yuan's army was leaderless and retreated without a fight.

Zhao Yun's morale was greatly boosted and he was pleasantly surprised, so he persuaded Zhao Yun to take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive Yuan Benchu back to his hometown in Bohai to blow the sea breeze in one fell swoop. Zhao Yun and the two generals under Yuan Shao faced each other, and they both won a big victory, and they couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in their hearts, and for a while they responded to the words of those soldiers, and directly took these fifteen thousand elite soldiers to chase after the defeated Yuan army.

When I arrived at the camp of the Yuan army, I found that although there were guards here, the soldiers were very tired.

Zhao Yunha smiled: "Yuan Shaowei came to capture my Youzhou earlier, and actually let the soldiers run for a long time, and now the soldiers are tired, it is a godsend!" "Dang even ordered an attack on Yuan Shao's camp and claimed to capture Yuan Shao alive.

Yuan Shao came out with his whole body draped, which made Zhao Yun even more convinced that this was Yuan Shao's camp, and he immediately waved his army up.

At the beginning, he was as happy as chopping melons and vegetables.

However, just after almost all of his 15,000 soldiers and horses entered the camp of the Yuan army, he suddenly heard shouts of killing from all directions, and from the surrounding forests, two armies of the Yuan army were killed, and they were still the main force.

Zhao Yun was shocked in his heart, only then did he realize that Lu Dao had fallen for Yuan Shao's scheme, and he regretted his light enemy. But the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to make up, and the only thing that can be done is to break through.

At that time, the situation reversed, Yuan Shao shouted to capture Zhao Yun alive, and even said that as long as Zhao Yun surrendered, he would be treated well and given him supreme courtesy.

But Zhao Yun felt that Gongsun Zhan had the grace of knowing him, and he would never surrender, but would not surrender by fighting with his strength.

Zhao Yun commanded well and was very brave, and in the midst of heavy encirclement, he actually fought against Yuan's army for three days and three nights. Surrounded by a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Yuan Shao felt his integrity, and even wanted to subdue him, so he couldn't bear to hurt his life, thinking that he would rather lose his soldiers than accept a general, which is the same as Aoying. But also because of Yuan Shao's mercy everywhere, all of Yuan Shao's troops were restrained by Zhao Yun's 15,000 men, and the losses were also heavy.

However, at dawn on the fourth day, Zhao Yun successfully broke through under the cover of several of his own personal soldiers.

Yuan Shao couldn't catch up, but Zhao Yun fled back to Youzhou.

However, at this time, Youzhou is no longer the original Youzhou.

On the first day of Zhao Yun leading the troops to go on the expedition, Youzhou Mu actually left angrily after seeing Gongsun Zhan, and Liaodong County Shouzhi was indignant when he heard the news and asked Gongsun Zhan to make an explanation, asking him why he drove away Zhou Mu, and asked him if he put the court and Wang Fa in his eyes, and the two disagreed, and the war broke out again.

At this time, Zhao Yun was besieged by Yuan Shao, and there was a shortage of elite soldiers and generals in the city, Zu Zhao almost effortlessly forced Gongsun Chan to defeat Xichuan, and when Zhao Yun returned to Youzhou City, Zu Zhao took people to save him and took care of him, but never answered his questions about Gongsun Chan.

During this period, the city gate of Youzhou was even more closed, and Yuan Shao saw that the people guarding the city tower were all Zu Zhao's people, and he also knew in his heart that this was probably Zu Zhao's plan, and he was very angry, feeling that Zu Zhao had deceived him and cursed people under the city tower every day.

Later, Chen Gong had someone shoot an arrow without an arrow, but with a note in it. After Yuan Shao saw it, he spat out blood angrily and finally retreated.

It is said that only four words were written on that piece of paper: "Will yes?" Chengye? ”

What will you do? Or do you want a city? You haven't figured it out yourself, who can blame you?

And after Zhao Yun woke up, he heard that Gongsun Chan was forced to go to Xichuan, and he sighed in his heart, he went to Zu Zhao to theorize, but Zu Zhao was bold, and directly handed the sword to Zhao Yun, saying that if he wanted to avenge his own lord, he could come, but, before that, he said what Gongsun Chan did, saying that he forced away Youzhou Mu and killed people like hemp. Ask Zhao Yun if the path he is following is correct.

Zhao Yun was speechless, and it was impossible to kill Zu Zhao. Because he saved himself and let people take care of himself, which is also the grace of life. He threw away the sword in his hand and left angrily, but he just wandered around Youzhou City.

On the third day, Zu Zhao sent someone to bring him luggage and coils, and told him that if he wanted to go to Xichuan to continue to follow Gongsun Zhan, he could go at any time, and everything was up to him.

Zhao Yun looked at Youzhou under the governance of Zu Zhao, and the people's lives gradually improved, and he also knew in his heart that this was the master. At the same time, he also deeply admired Zu Zhao's style of acting, not as forceful as Yuan Shao, and not as violent as Gongsun Zhan.

Now Zu Zhao gave him the greatest freedom, and he wanted him to choose by himself, which made him feel that Zu Zhao was good in his heart, and at sunset, Zhao Yun officially voted under Zu Zhao's door.

Another fierce general was added, Zu Zhao was very happy in his heart, and he held a feast for Zhao Yun to catch the wind, which made him flattered.

And Yuan Shao was greatly injured by this battle, so he turned to Cao Cao for help, intending to fight against Zu Zhao together!
