Gongsun Chan naturally would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately attacked Gongsun Yue in two ways, all the way from the south to the north of Daxing Pass, and all the way from the north mountain to the hero legend of the Three Kingdoms.

At this time, the news of Zhang Yang's defeat in Yangyi had come, and the defenders of Daxing Pass saw Gongsun Zhan's army surrender without a fight, and then Gongsun Zhan gave full play to the advantages of Youzhou cavalry's strong mobility ability, and rushed forward non-stop, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Guan Jing and Yan Gang to clean up the situation.

Compared with Zhang Liao, Gongsun Zhan's advantage is that there are more generals who can be used by himself, Gongsun Chan rushed all the way crazy, took Gaodu that night, and then repaired slightly, Gongsun Chan continued to march north, took Gaoping in the early morning of the next day, and took Changping in the afternoon, and sang and marched along the way without stopping.

By the time Zhang Liao had preliminarily reorganized the surrender army, and then waved his army south to capture Tongling and Xiangyuan, Gongsun Yue's troops had already gone north along Beishan Road, captured Hukou Pass, and then turned around and made a forced landing in Luxian.

At this point, the race between Zhang Liao and Gongsun Chan is over, Shangdang County is divided between Zhang Liao and Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan also takes a big advantage, more importantly, Lu County falls into the hands of Gongsun Zhan, it is firmly stuck on the road to the south of Zhang Liao, there is the Yellow River in the south blocking Lu Bu, and there is Lu County in the north blocking the road to the south, in the middle of Hanoi, the south of Shangdang, the west of the river and the northwest of the West River will become Gongsun Zhan's living space.

Sure enough, then Gongsun Chan went west to Anze, opening up the passage from the West River to attack Taiyuan County, so that Zhang Liao no longer dared to blindly put pressure on the south, on the contrary, Zhang Liao must fully consider the advantages of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and now the door of the West River is wide open. This meant that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry could attack all the territory from Xihe to Yanbei.

On the other hand, Yan Gang advanced westward from Gaodu. Occupied Yangcheng and began to infiltrate Hedong County.

No one thought that Zhang Liaoxin worked hard to defeat Zhang Yang, and it was Gongsun Chan who got the biggest benefit, and now Gongsun Chan's situation has suddenly become broader, and the originally difficult living environment has been greatly improved, and it can be said that Zhang Yang's failure has nourished Gongsun Chan's growth.

As for the good people Zhang Yang, they crossed the Taihang Mountain to the east. took refuge in Han Fu, and Dong Zhao, who ran away, was found by Gongsun Chan in Lu County, and Dong Zhao took refuge in Gongsun Chan.

Although Zhang Liao was very dissatisfied with this ending, the facts had been formed, Zhang Liao not only did not dare to attack Gongsun Chan now, but also had to be on guard against Gongsun Chan's cavalry at all times, and Zhang Liao had to accept this unexpected result.

Lu Bu was even more dissatisfied. For a period of time, Lu Bu has suffered many setbacks, but Lu Bu himself knows that many things are not arbitrary, although he can fight, but he can fight, but he can't let everything develop according to his own will. On the contrary, if you do it arbitrarily, you may end up worse.

However, the only thing that could make Lu Bu rush to comfort was that Zhang Yang, the bastard, was completely finished, although Zhang Yang was not dead. But his flamboyant nature has been clearly seen by everyone in the world, even if Han Fu is willing to take him in. Zhang Yang probably won't have a chance to make a comeback.

As for Gongsun Zhan's growth, Lu Bu didn't like it either, but he couldn't help it, because Lu Bu couldn't take Gongsun Chan at all, according to Pang Yuan, it should be to marry Gongsun Zhan, and then encourage Gongsun Chan to turn against Han Fu and Yuan Shu, or encourage Gongsun Chan to go west, strive to control Hedong County, and directly fight against Dong Zhuo.

In fact, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shu looked at each other across the river, and their fear and vigilance of Yuan Shu were definitely more serious than their vigilance against Lu Bu, so Pang Yuan's idea was very feasible.

Yewang City, Hanoi County, the residence of Gongsun Chan

"Shiqi, Gongren, what do you think of Lu Bu's suggestion?"

Gongsun Zhan looked at Guan Jing and Dong Zhao with some amusement, will a new competitive relationship be formed between these two? Gongsun Chan is also very curious, since the relationship between his younger brother and Guan Jing has eased, Gongsun Chan has been working hard to find an opponent for Guan Jing, and now it seems to have it.

Dong Zhao glanced at Guan Jing, and consciously gave up the power to speak to Guan Jing first, which is called retreating as advancing, and what he said first may not be good.

"Lord, now our army borders with Lu Bu in two places, one is near Yanjin in the southeast, but the area is narrow, and it is separated by the Yellow River, therefore, the threat on the south side of Lu Bu is not big, and then look at the north, Zhang Liao is very capable of fighting, but he has a broad space to defend, on the other hand, our army, as long as Lu County and Huguan are stuck, Zhang Liao's army will be difficult to advance, and our army can go out of the West River from the west side, and use cavalry to attack Taiyuan and even Yanmen, such a long defense line, Zhang Liao can not prevent it even if he is capable, What can stop us is only our own strength. ”

Well said1 Gongsun Chan praised, of course, as long as the heart is full of self-satisfaction, it needs to be vented a little.

Dong Zhao smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, now Gongsun Zhan's situation is really good, otherwise Dong Zhao would not be at ease to serve Gongsun Zhan, but in the matter of Zhang Yang's failure, Dong Zhao has already forgotten his responsibility selectively, he thinks that this is all because of Zhang Yang's incompetence, if Zhang Yang can capture Yangyi in advance, everything will be different.

"Looking at the west again, Hedong County in the west is now a world of thieves and Inhumans, and Xihe County is completely Inhuman territory, these two places are like two fat sheep, both of which are our future targets, so they will not pose a threat to us. And in essence, it is Han Fu and Yuan Shu who pose a threat to us, Han Fu is now busy fighting with Yuan Shao, and they have no time to take care of us at all, so Han Fu and our army will sign an alliance agreement for one year, and now it is not that we are worried about Han Fu, but that Han Fu is worried about us. ”

Gongsun Chan nodded again, agreeing with Guan Jing's point of view, Dong Zhao also nodded with a smile, and Guan Jing was secretly a little proud.

"Next is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is across the river from us, and Yuan Shu's strength is already very strong, although it has lost part of Huainan and Runan, but the loss of these places is precisely good for Yuan Shu, especially after Yuan Shao enriched the population of Runan and Chen County in Henan Yin. Yuan Shu's strength is undoubtedly more condensed. Now after the marriage between Zhu Jun and Yuan Shu, Zhu Jun is back in charge of the army. And began to form a naval army, isn't the purpose of it? ”

Gongsun Zhan stroked his beard and thought for a while, nodded and said: "I understand what Shiqi means, Shiqi wants to marry Han Fu and Lu Bu, fight against Yuan Shu, and erode the West River and Hedong, right?" ”

Guan Jing smiled proudly and glanced at Dong Zhao casually. "That's right, lord 1."

Gongsun Chan turned to Dong Zhao and asked, "What is Gongren's opinion?" ”

Dong Zhao smiled humbly and said: "Shiqi's opinion is very accurate, and his subordinates have no better opinion on the general direction. ”

Hearing Dong Zhao say this, Guan Jing's face showed a meaningful smile, it can be regarded as Dong Zhao's knowledge, otherwise he would have to be severely suppressed.

"Still. The subordinates have a little question, that is, why do we have to be the enemy of Yuan Shu? Now that our army is in a very good situation, it is time to step up time and strive for development and construction, and if we can maintain a stable situation, it is better not to make enemies of anyone, so as to reduce the wariness of the surrounding princes against us. It will also be able to devote more resources to construction. The subordinates just don't understand, maybe it's wrong to think so, and ask Shiqi and the general to correct, hehe. ”

Dong Zhao said very humblely, but it was still very harsh in Guan Jing's ears. No matter how tactful people say, an opposing opinion is an opposing opinion. Questioning is questioning, Guan Jing looked at Dong Zhao who was smiling with some dissatisfaction.

"Gongren, it's not that we want to go against Yuan Shu, it's that Yuan Shu is plotting against us, didn't I just say that Yuan Shu is building a water army, do they want to compete with Han Fu and Fang Zhiwen for the waterway? Obviously not, they want to seize the initiative on the Yellow River, first, to prevent us from crossing the river to the south, and secondly, to be able to attack our army at any time. In this case, if we cannot take the initiative to weaken the opponent's naval army and attack capability, the consequences will be unimaginable when the opponent strikes a thunderous blow in the future. ”

Gongsun Chan nodded secretly, Gongsun Chan, who has always advocated that offense is defense on the grassland, how could he turn a blind eye to the opponent's knife sharpening Huo Huo, as long as he has the ability, Gongsun Chan advocates the strategy of strangling the opponent in the cradle, not to mention that Yuan Shu's attempt to build a water army is too obvious, if Gongsun Chan turns a blind eye, it is definitely not his character.

But Gongsun Chan is not in a hurry to express his position, otherwise Guan Jing will undoubtedly be even more arrogant, and Dong Zhao will definitely be hit, this is not the right thing to do, and the superior must be balanced.

"Gongren, don't you think Yuan Shu is not worth worrying about?"

"General, Yuan Shu's strength is strong, how can he not be worried? But it is precisely Yuan Shu's strength that is strong, so we try not to be an enemy with it, at least before we have the ability to challenge him, we should bury our heads in development, and we should try to endure those who can endure, if we fall into a protracted confrontation with Yuan Shu, it will inevitably slow down our development speed, and the surrounding princes will not wait for us, after all, relatively speaking, our foundation is the worst, in the long run, no need to compare anything else, just from the perspective of comprehensive strength, we will be thrown farther and farther away by the opponent, the result is self-explanatory! To deal with Yuan Shu, you only need to destroy his water army, and you can completely ask Fang Zhiwen to help1

After Dong Zhao finished speaking, Guan Jing's face stiffened, Gongsun Zhan also frowned slightly, and slowly stroked his beard and thought about it, Dong Zhao's point of view is from a bird's-eye perspective, if strictly speaking, it is higher than Guan Jing's strategic layout analysis at the beginning, he essentially analyzed the core of competition with the surrounding princes, that is, comprehensive strength.

Putting aside the momentary victory and defeat, putting aside the momentary gains and losses, from the level of the final power balance and from the perspective of the development of things, Dong Zhao opened a window for Gongsun Zhan, so that Gongsun Chan could get a glimpse of the essence of the competition for hegemony.

"Well said, Gongren is worthy of being Gongren, and a certain family served 1

Gongsun Zhan's praise was a little excessive, and Dong Zhao humbly thanked him: "The general praised it falsely, and his subordinates are just a matter of opinion, and the general should not praise him like this, there is still a big gap between his subordinates and Shiqi." ”

As the saying goes, excessive modesty is pride, and now Guan Jing thinks so in his heart, this Dong Zhao is really a smiling tiger! Isn't this a naked slap in the face!

Gongsun Chan looked at the small movements of the two and smiled happily: "With two great talents helping each other, why worry about big things!" Haha"
