"What a Jia Xu, he was prepared." Han Qi, who saw this scene in the Chinese army, hated it so much that his teeth itched, but he was indeed a little helpless, after all, although the war horse was fast, it was indeed impossible to rush to the city tower.

After being tripped by the tripping horse, it also caused the momentum of the Xianbei cavalry to leak. Even some could have rushed to the bottom of the tower, but in the face of the closed gates, the cavalry had to sigh and finally retreat after the sound of gold in Surimika.

"We don't have any infantry." Seeing that the cavalry was not good at siege, Surmika shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter, I can make my soldiers abandon their horses and become infantry, all I need to do is build some siege ladders." It's Han Qi, who looks like he won't give up until he takes the city.

"Okay, I'll trouble General Han's men, so I'll help you make a ladder." When Suramika heard Han Qi's idea, she immediately said yes. Immediately, the cavalry of less than 50,000 troops stopped the siege and began to cut down trees in preparation for the construction of ladders.

Surmika and Han Qi began to prepare. Jia Xu also ordered his subordinates to prepare enough arrows, and at the same time, he also looked into the distance, and the place where his eyes fell was the direction of the Liao River, and he didn't know what the situation was there.

Next to the Liao River, Gongsun Zhan's son Gongsun Xu stayed with 2,000 soldiers.

Their main task was to keep an eye on the boats along the river, and wait for the army to return victoriously before crossing the river.

Knowing that Zhang Chao's army had retreated, and the main force of his army had also pursued him, Gongsun Xu, who felt that the place where he was very safe, neglected to take precautions, and drank with the officers below every day for several days. As the son of the main general Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Xu will appear here, which is a mixed credit. Just wait for the army to triumph, it is also the time for him to gain fame, this is the benefit of having a good old man.

Not only Gongsun Xu is like this, but the other soldiers are also very relaxed, they only know how to drink in the barracks every day, after all, during the war years, there is no tomorrow today, and there is wine today and it is good to get drunk today.

Completely defenseless, Gongsun Xujun, who thought they were in the safest rear, didn't know that a large army was approaching them. And the person who led the army was the general Zhang Chao, who had just returned from the conquest of Wuhuan.

The rise of the Liao River was not conducive to the advance of the army. Under such an environment, Zhang Chao thought of a plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

He took advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shao's capture of Hanoi to block the information of the entire Wuhuan to the outside world, but the news of his defeat was spread. This made Gongsun Chan fooled, mistakenly thinking that he really couldn't hold on. In addition to Jia Xu's retreat, there is such a good opportunity, he believes that Gongsun Chan will definitely make a move, and even chase after the river.

It turns out that Zhang Chao thinks well. Gongsun Zhan was really fooled, and chased all the way across the Liao River. It will also give him a chance.

Zhang Chao's decision was for Jia Xu to hold Gongsun Zhan's forward army, and then Lu Bu and Wuhuan soldiers attacked and intercepted Gongsun Zhan's Chinese army, and he led the army to cut the opponent's back road, so that the enemy could not go home, and then looked for opportunities to annihilate them one by one, and solved the matter of Youzhou once and for all.

Appearing on the edge of the Liao River is exactly what Zhang Chao wants to cut the other party's back path.

On the edge of the Liao River, Tian Chou and the general Xian Yufu were waiting for Zhang Chao with hundreds of people, and they all saw the changes in Gongsun Xujun's eyes. When he saw Zhang Chao coming with the army, he immediately greeted him.

For Tian Chou, Xian Yuyin and Xian Yufu, Liu Yu's subordinates, Zhang Chao accepted them all under Jia Xu's suggestion, and gave them relatively adequate treatment.

After seeing that Zhang Chao was strong and strong, and the military resources were sufficient, Tian Chou and the others also calmed down and worked quietly. Now the person who can avenge Liu Yu may be Zhang Chao's best choice.

On Jia Xu's orders, Tian Chou and Xian Yufu, who stayed behind, explained the situation here after receiving Zhang Chao.

"Well, that's it, we'll attack the camp tonight." After Zhang Chao heard that the situation here was as expected, he nodded with satisfaction. And that night, Dian Wei and Xu Chu suddenly appeared with 3,000 light cavalry of the Zhang family's army, which caught Gongsun Xu off guard.

Most of the soldiers became prisoners when they were still asleep, and Gongsun Xu was even more drunk, and he was tied up to understand what had happened.

They were all surprised to see Zhang Chao's arrival at this time, they didn't expect that why this general would suddenly appear here, shouldn't he rush back to Merge State?

No one will explain it. After taking Gongsun Xu, Zhang Chao took 5,000 Zhang's army to the small seat, escorted these people on the boat, and went to Liaodong east of the Liao River by night.

After the boat crossed the river, the cavalry advanced rapidly, and before dawn they came to the city of Xiangping, the administrative land of Liaodong County, twenty miles away. Tian Chou was ordered to enter the city in the morning when the city gate was wide open, and he looked for Gongsun Du, who was in charge of defense here.

Gongsun Zhan crossed the river with a large army to attack, but left Gongsun Du with 10,000 defenders in Liaodong.

To say that it sounds good is to look at the family, and if it is not good, it is to give up on him. Once the army returns successfully, I am afraid that the person with the least credit will be Gongsun Du.

In this regard, many of Gongsun Du's subordinates are quite complaining.

Gongsun Du knew this, and he couldn't find a better way. Relatively speaking, he was the one who joined Gongsun Chan later, so he was not someone else's henchman, and this time he put forward a different opinion, and it was strange not to be left out in the cold.

It's just that Gongsun Du is a person, and his temperament is also calm, and he doesn't show any complaints on his face. is still guarding Liaodong with a large army. Of course, he was also thinking hard about the way to establish himself in his heart, but he couldn't find his way for a long time.

Just when Gongsun Du was still worried about the future, the housekeeper of the family came to report that there was a person named Tian Chou who asked to see him.

"What? Tian Chou Tian Zitai? How did he end up here? Gongsun Du, who was shocked, first looked left and right, and then whispered to the housekeeper: "Go, bring in the person from the backyard, and I will see him there." ”

The housekeeper was Gongsun Du's confidant, and after hearing this, he agreed and went to do it. It didn't take long for the backyard door to be opened, and Tian Chou appeared in Gongsun Du's sight with two retinues.

As soon as they met, Tian Chou smiled and said, "Brother Shengji (Gongsun Du's character), it's been a long time." ”

After seeing that it was indeed Tian Chou, Gongsun Du also forced a smile on his face and said, "Brother Zitai, why are you here?" Why did you bring two retinues, your army? ”

"Hehe, Brother Shengji, don't be sarcastic about me, isn't it too unfair for you to see me at the back door?" Tian Chou also smiled lightly and returned.

Tian Chou didn't seem to be in a good situation, and there were only two people around him. But on the other hand, isn't Gongsun Du the same? Seeing a guest who still needs to enter through the back door shows that his situation is also not good.

Listening to Tian Chou's words, Gongsun Du had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, Brother Zitai, let's stop laughing at each other." You still tell me what to do here, is it that Zhang Chao's army has been defeated, and you have no place to stay? ”

To say that the former Gongsun Du and Tian Chou still had some friendship. Both of them were Liu Yu's subordinates. It was only later that Tian Chou persisted to the end, and Gongsun Du did surrender to Gongsun Zan after judging the situation.

Although it is said that each is its own master, the personal relationship is still there. Before the matter is explained, it is not enough to meet each other.

"Defeat?" Hearing Gongsun Du's words, Tian Chou smiled again: "Brother Shengji, who does he think will be defeated?" ”

Tian Chou's rhetorical question made Gongsun Du's face look shocked. He suddenly had a feeling that Zhang Chao was not defeated, and only Gongsun Zan was afraid of defeat.

"What does Brother Zitai mean, I don't know if I can say it?" Gongsun Du just wanted to inquire about the truth of the matter.

Fortunately, Tian Chou didn't want to hide his intentions, so he told the truth. "Brother Shengji, let's tell you the truth, the general's so-called defeat is just a plan. In order to lure Gongsun Chan to attack, he was his own. In fact, it was the general who had already attacked Wuhuan, and at the same time recruited more than 20,000 soldiers, and now in the land of Youzhou, he was being annihilated by the general one by one. ”

Tian Chou's answer was not unexpected by Gongsun Du, and after hearing that this was indeed the case, he couldn't help but exclaim: "There is news that Yuan Shao has captured Hanoi, is this also false?" ”

"Of course, it's true. But you also said that Yuan Shao only captured Hanoi, not Bingzhou. Whether it is Hedong in the west or Huguan in the north, it is heavily guarded by the general, and it is not so easy to capture. The person in the presence said that Guo Jiajun had already returned with his troops, and there would be no trouble there. Tian Chou said these words with a confident face.

Tian Chou didn't know about the situation in the state, everything was from Zhang Chao, he just relayed it. It's just that even if the general said that there was nothing to do, and he didn't return to the army, there must be nothing to do.

Tian Chou's answer, after listening to Gongsun Du's ears, his expression was changing, "So, Gongsun Chan is about to finish?" ”

"Yes, Gongsun Chan is now surrounded by the general's army of more than 100,000 people, and it is only a matter of time before he is wiped out. It's Brother Shengji, you are here, you have to make plans early. Tian Chou nodded.

"I'm going to plan, hehe, what's going to happen? Will the people of the difficult general cross the river and attack me? When he said this, Gongsun Du was smiling, obviously he still had a certain degree of confidence in defending Hedong.

Looking at the confidence shown by Gongsun Du, Tian Chou also smiled and said, "Oh? Brother Shengji thinks you're safe here? Or do you think that I can't fly across the Liao River? ”
