Gongsun Du, who was still smiling on his face, heard this, and his eyes did release a trace of cold light and said, "Brother Zitai, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the general's men and horses have passed through the Liao River? ”

"Haha, Brother Shengji is the right solution. Come, let's see what this is. As he spoke, Tian Chou made a hand gesture to an entourage behind him, and immediately a package was thrown out.

"What is this?" Seeing that a package was thrown out, Gongsun Du asked puzzled.

"Brother Shengji will know just by looking at it." Tian Chou stood there and smiled.

Seeing that Tian Chou was so confident, Gongsun Du squatted down, opened the cloth bag, and immediately a bloody human head appeared in front of him. At first, he was taken aback, and after he had to identify it carefully, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the head of Gongsun Xugongzi?" ”

"Yes. It is the head of Gongsun Xu, last night, the general's men and horses have passed to the edge of the Liao River and occupied it, which is just the spoils of war. When Tian Chou said these words, he was naturally very proud, which was also the confidence given to him by the strong lord behind him.

"Ahh The general has already attacked the Liao River? Hearing this, Gongsun Du was no longer as calm as he was just now, and his eyes were full of panic.

"Yes, the general has already attacked the Liao River. In other words, Gongsun Zhan's army was about to be defeated. The next thing to do is to see Brother Shengji's performance, if you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that Gongsun Chan will not be able to return to Liaodong. On the other hand, if you still want to die for him, you can catch me now, and wait for Gongsun Zhan's defeat to come back. After Tian Chou said these words, he was a picture of letting it go.

After seeing Gongsun Xu's head, Gongsun Du already believed in the fact that Liaohe was occupied. Even if the back road was cut, he believed that Gongsun Chan would not be able to come back. If that's the case, if he catches Tian Chou, he will be the enemy of the general, which is really not a wise choice.

After thinking about these things in his heart, Gongsun Du smiled and said, "Where did Brother Zitai say, how could I arrest you." In this way, I already know the facts, you can go, and I have to trouble you to tell the general when you see him, I am willing to surrender. ”

Gongsun Du also had to make such a decision. Even Gongsun Zhan, who has an army of 120,000, is not Zhang Chao's opponent, so why should he resist with only 10,000 soldiers?

Seeing that Gongsun Du had made a decision, Tian Chou smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Shengji for making the right choice, if that's the case, then please go out of the city with me to meet the general." ”

"What? Is the Great General just outside the city? Hearing this, Gongsun Du was really taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Chao had already arrived in Liaodong.

"Yes, the general has crossed the river overnight, and now he is twenty miles outside Xiangping City, waiting for Brother Shengji to make the right choice." Tian Chou nodded and smiled.

"Oh, Brother Zitai, have you been tempting me emotionally? If I really do something to you, I'm afraid that the general will lead troops to attack the city next? Whether? After Gongsun Du confirmed the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Exactly." Tian Chou said without objection.

"Huh." Gongsun Du also had to laugh miserably and said, "Fortunately, my choice is correct." Okay, I'll go with you to meet the general right now. After speaking, Gongsun Du was ready to go out. Instead, Tian Chou stopped him, "I said Brother Shengji, you won't have to go through the back door when you welcome the general." ”

"Oops." Gongsun Du patted his head and said, "Look at my memory." Come on, kill all the eyeliner left by Gongsun Zan in Fuzhong City. Since then, my grandson has reversed. ”

Gongsun Du made the right choice, in order to show his solemnity, he deliberately changed into a new dress and followed Tian Chou out of the city for twenty miles, then saw Zhang Chao, and knelt down on the spot. "Welcome the lord into the city."

"Well, Seungji made the right choice, and I'm very happy. I won't enter the city, and Liaodong will belong to my Zhang Chao in the future. I now order that Gongsun Du will be the new commander of Liaodong County, and will have jurisdiction over all military and political affairs east of Liaodong. Tian Chou and Xian Yufu also stayed to assist you. Zhang Chao said in a loud voice.

Zhang Chao's decision completely surprised Gongsun Du, he never thought that this general would be so open-minded, and he would be entrusted with an important task just after seeing himself. Immediately grateful, he knelt down on the ground again and said: "Thank you for the trust of the general, you will definitely not fail to live up to the heavy responsibility." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll leave first. I'm going to completely destroy Gongsun Zhan. Zhang Chao nodded, and waved his hand to make the army ready to withdraw.

Zhang Chao's trust in Gongsun Du is naturally limited, but this is indeed not the main battlefield at this time. After Yuan Shao captured Hanoi, he would definitely provoke himself. In this way, it became important to destroy Gongsun Zhan, and then return to the aid and annex the state. As for Gongsun Du, if he descends, he should not rebel easily, after all, Gongsun Chan is his example.

Zhang Chao left Liaodong and did not even enter Xiangping City. But when he left, he still did not forget one thing, that is, he gave Gongsun Du's two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, official positions, and took both sons with him when he left, the reason was to send them to study in the academy in Jinyang City.

That's what Proton said. In this regard, Gongsun Du could not refuse, unless he had a revolt, otherwise, the two sons would be very safe. This was also a means of control over his subordinates by the lord at that time.

The matter of Liaodong was so easily solved. Its speed was even beyond Zhang Chao's expectations. He is now returning to the Liao River with 5,000 of the most elite Zhang Jiajun. As for the 2,000 captives under Gongsun Xu, they were completely handed over to Tian Chou and Gongsun Du to deal with.

At this time, in Yuyang County, west of the Liao River, Gongsun Zhan's army of 60,000 was fighting against the army of 30,000 led by Lü Bu and Ertie.

Gongsun Zhan thought that Zhang Chao was defeated and fled, so he raised troops to chase after him. Along the way, the march was also very smooth, passing through Liaoxi County, but he did not see a shadow of an enemy, so that he successfully subdued there, and also made him more confident in his judgment.

But just when Gongsun Zhan wanted to join up with Han Qi and others and capture Pan County together, he was ambushed by Lu Bu in Pinggu, which had just entered Yuyang County.

To say that Gongsun Chan is also a brave and resourceful person, the reason why he was ambushed is completely careless. He believes that the nearest enemy should be in Pan County. It was in this unguarded state that when he crossed the valley under the Pinggu, a huge rock suddenly rolled down the mountain, and his army was severely damaged.

Behind the boulder were the Wuhuan archers brought by Erthep.

Originally, the Wuhuan soldiers who used bows and arrows were very good, but now after being equipped with Zhang Chaojun's bow and arrow equipment, they are even more powerful, and they can shoot to a distance of two hundred and fifty steps. Under such a long bow, I saw that Gongsun Zhan's army was crying for a while.

When Gongsun Chan led the army to rush out from the bottom of the valley, it was sad to find that the original army of 60,000 was now less than 40,000. There were 20,000 corpses of self-soldiers left in the valley.

Seeing this result, Gongsun Zhan was naturally angry, and he happened to see Lu Bu rushing from afar with an army of 30,000, and immediately 70,000 people were torn together.

Lu Bu's fierce martial arts, needless to say. According to his meaning, with the combat power of the vanguard army and the sharpness of the Wuhuan archers, he could also win more with less against the 40,000 army of Shanggong Sun Zhan. But I never thought that this 10,000 white horse righteousness was indeed very good, and they shouted "Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand!" The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! The slogan actually gave a heavy blow to the vanguard army and Wuhuan soldiers.

In the end, after the first battle, Lu Bu threw down nearly 10,000 corpses, and Gongsun Zhan also had less than 25,000 troops, and the two sides withdrew after a day of fighting.

Returning to the temporary camp, Lu Bu said angrily: "This white horse is really extraordinary, especially their bow shooting ability, which is so strong, at least half of our army died at their hands. Hum! When I fight them tomorrow, I don't believe that I can't destroy them. ”

"General, no." Seeing that Lu Bu was still fighting, Erther couldn't help but persuade him loudly: "Bai Ma Yi is the elite of Gongsun Zhan, this is a fact that the whole Youzhou knows. Even our Wuhuan people, who are good at shooting, have suffered a lot of losses in their hands. Not to mention the Han army and Xianbei soldiers. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that our family will also be wiped out. ”

"How about that?" Hearing Er Tie's advice, Lu Bu said angrily: "Could it be that Er is scared? ”

"General, it's not that I'm scared. In fact, it is not the general to like to continue fighting like this. I'm afraid that the general will be angry with you and me when he finds out about it afterwards. Seeing that Lu Bu was angry, Erther was also afraid, so he had no choice but to put forward Zhang Chao's name.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Chao was proposed, Lu Bu calmed down a lot and said: "Okay, that's the case, then I'll send someone to send a message to the lord, but if the lord asks me to fight, you can't stop it." ”

"Yes, when it is." Erthep hurriedly agreed. After a few days of contact, he can see that this Lu Bu is indeed a martial artist, but he also has a big temper. Except for Zhang Chao, no one can put it in his eyes.

In the temporary tent of Gongsun Zhan, he also had a sense of sadness on his face.

The 60,000-strong army fought in one day, and more than half of them died. There are even the most elite white horse followers, and all that is left is 5,000 people. Half of them were killed, and this is the elite that he spent years of hard work to build. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chaojun's combat power was so strong, facing each other head-on, and he didn't even suffer a loss.
