Chapter 5: Conspiracy

Yuan Shao was angry, although Li Xuan's army had not yet entered Jizhou, but inside Jizhou, there was a lot of rumors, and a group of Jizhou officials fell into a state of cup bow and snake shadow in just a few days, although Gongsun Chan withdrew from Jizhou according to the agreement, but Yuan Shao's army did not evacuate, but was stationed in Zhongshan County.

"What are you going to do!?" Yuan Shao's camp, trial and several other Jizhou strategists gathered together, several people's faces, all with a look of distress, these days, Yuan Shao's distrustful gaze, so that these originally with enthusiasm, ready to help Yuan Shao make a big career Jizhou backbone a little cold, especially in the last two days, they have Yuan Shao's personal faction of the euphorbia accompanied by protection, but everyone knows that these people are sent by Yuan Shao to monitor them.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." The judge kept a smile on his face and persuaded: "The three generals Ju Yi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were all intercepted and killed, and it is human nature for the lord to suspect that there are traitors within us, I believe that after a while, when everything is settled, the lord will naturally give us an explanation." ”

Confession, will there really be?

Although he said so, even if he always supported Yuan Shao's trial, there was inevitably a trace of haze in his heart, and some things, once they took root in his heart and wanted to erase them, how could they be completely eliminated with a simple explanation? If this is the case, let alone others?

"It doesn't matter if we get angry, it's just a pity for the two generals, Zhang He and Gao Ran." A strategist sighed leisurely, counting it, Zhang He and Gao Ran are both fierce generals who are tied with Yan Liangwen and Chou in the four court pillars of Hebei, but because they are from Hejian, they have become the key suspects of Yuan Shao, and the strategists are just being monitored, and the two of them have now been grounded. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them also supported Yuan Shao at the beginning, thanks to the Yuan family, Yuan Shao had left a little affection, I am afraid that the two would have been imprisoned at this moment.

The trial was also silent for a while, but at this moment, he was a little skeptical of the original decision. Is it right or wrong to pledge allegiance to Yuan Shao?

At the same time, in Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan, who had just returned to Yijing, was in an unprecedented panic, the situation in Youzhou was changing too quickly, and Longcheng was too ruthless, so ruthless that he didn't give him a chance to react at all.

The fall of the three counties, that is already history, and now. The ten counties of Youzhou, in addition to the nominally occupied Lelang County and Xuansu County and Youbeiping, where Gongsun Zhan is located at the moment, other Liaodong, Liaoxi, Yuyang, and Guangyang have changed the royal flag and replaced the banner of Longcheng during this time, and at this moment, 500,000 troops are coming to the city. Right Beiping is in jeopardy.

Gongsun Zhan looked at the battle report in front of him in a daze, and the civil and military cadres under the account, such as Gongsun Yuan, Guan Jing, and Wang Men, were also pale like dirt. Including Gongsun Zhan, everyone knows that the short era of Gongsun Zhan's rule in Youzhou is about to become a thing of the past.

Most of the soldiers and horses outside were Gongsun Zhan's original soldiers, but so what? Trend. Even if it were those soldiers, at this moment, how many would think about the old master?

The previous anger has turned into a wave of helplessness at this moment, and a deep sense of powerlessness swells in everyone's hearts. Who would have thought that in less than a month, the other party would occupy the entire territory of Youzhou with this kind of whale swallowing momentum? No, it can't be said to be an occupation, because it is simply receiving the city, Gongsun Chan himself can't believe that those county guards and county magistrates who have been carefully selected by himself are actually from the gate of Longcheng?

"Newspaper~"

A junior colonel rushed in from outside the door, with a hint of joy on his face, and said excitedly: "Lord, Longcheng has withdrawn!" ”

"What?" Guan Jing and the others suddenly looked at the little school, with shock and disbelief in their eyes!

"Back to my lord, the soldiers and horses of Longcheng outside the city have decided to retreat, and the young general has seen it with his own eyes, and there is not a single one left!" The Colonel said respectfully.

"Great!" Guan Jing and the others had irrepressible joy on their faces, these days, the pressure brought to them by the army of Longcheng was too great, it was obviously their own army not long ago, but now it has changed and become the army of Longcheng, and the momentum exuded by it made them, the former generals, feel terrified.

"What else?" Gongsun Chan didn't have much joy, raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao, and said expressionlessly, the ups and downs during this time, although they have been defeated, but also let Gongsun Chan's mood be tempered, at least in the face of this kind of ups and downs, he can still maintain a calm mentality, if it was put a month ago, it would never have appeared on Gongsun Chan's body.

"And?" Xiao Xiao looked at Gongsun Chan with a blank face, what else? Nope.

"Revisit." Gongsun Chan said indifferently, with an incomprehensible loneliness in his tone.

"Yes." The little colonel didn't know why, but he still respectfully agreed and turned to leave.

"Lord, if Longcheng retreats, it must be Yuan Shao who comes to help, why is the lord worried?" Guan Jing looked at Gongsun Chan suspiciously.

"Yuan Shao?" Gongsun Zhan sneered when he heard this: "He doesn't have that courage!" I don't have that ability! ”

"This ......" Guan Jing and the others looked at Gongsun Zan in puzzlement, they can understand without that courage, but what does it mean to not have that ability? The fourth and third dukes, famous in the sea, although they were hostile before, but for Yuan Shao's ability and fame, everyone still recognized it.

"You don't know Li Xuan." Shaking his head, Gongsun Chan stood up, looked at the north, and sighed: "Probably since the time of the alliance of princes, Li Xuan has never put Yuan Shao in his eyes, even if he is the leader of the alliance, and Li Xuan at that time, in the eyes of everyone, is just a small prince, even if he is quite famous in the north, but not many people put him in their eyes, but now that I think about it, it is really ridiculous." ”

"The lord is saying......" Guan Jing thought of something, and looked at Gongsun Zan with some uncertainty.

"Wait for the news, Li Xuan's withdrawal from the army does not mean that he has given up, if it is not surprising, it will not be long before there will be news." Gongsun Chan sighed and said, he had seen Li Xuan's methods, who would have thought that Li Xuan would really clash with Yuan Shao for a few female soldiers that day? But in the end, Li Xuan really did it, and within one night, Yuan Xuan's 20,000 elite soldiers were exterminated, still under Yuan Shao's nose, and Yuan Shao occupied the superior force at the beginning, but he was left by Li Xuan so arrogantly, and since then, Gongsun Chan has despised Yuan Shao.

Outside of Yi Jing, in the Great Yan Army.

"Yun Shuai. The morale of our army is booming, even if it is a strong attack, the last general is confident that within three days, Yijing will be defeated, why should he withdraw at this time? Luo Feng looked at Zhao Yun puzzled. 500,000 troops were approaching the city, and he couldn't think of any reason for Gongsun Chan to be undefeated and what ability he had to return to heaven.

Tang Jun, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, and Qin Shubao also looked at Zhao Yun in puzzlement.

"Have you forgotten your majesty's words before you set off?" Beside Zhao Yun, Kou Zhong looked at the generals with a smile.

"The lord wants to subdue Gongsun Zhan, but as long as Gongsun Chan is captured, he can also be subdued?" Luo Feng frowned and glanced at Kou Zhong, puzzled.

"Although Gongsun Zhan has a stubborn temperament, he is not a true man." Kou Zhong shook his head and said, "If I were him." The city is broken and captured, it is definitely a great humiliation, and I would rather burn the jade than surrender! Besides......"

Kou Zhong looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Although we have an army of 500,000 at this moment, everyone should know that these people were originally Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses. Although the flag has changed now, it has forced the old owner to die. Even if the final victory is won, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the army, and our army will enter Jizhou next, and the army's heart will change, as far as our army is concerned. Not a good thing! ”

Zhao Yun looked at Kou Zhong who was talking with satisfaction, whether it was vision, strategy or ability to lead troops, Kou Zhong already had a level that was enough to be in charge, maybe in time, Dragon City would have another peerless commander. looked at Luo Feng and the others: "Tang Jun." ”

"The last general!" Tang Jun stepped out and bowed.

"There is a battle post here, you personally send it to Yijing, hand it over to Gongsun Zhan, tomorrow at noon, Yun is waiting for the big driver outside Yijing City, the lord once said, do not judge heroes by success or failure, General White Horse, although defeated, is also a hero!"

"Whoa!" Tang Jun agreed, took the battle post handed by Zhao Yun without hesitation, turned around, walked with his head held high, and walked towards the outside of the tent.

"Kou Zhong!" Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Kou Zhong and said, "Prepare for the battle with dragon horses, and at noon tomorrow, face the white horse Yicong!" ”

"Yes." Kou Zhong agreed, and retreated.

Half an hour later, Yi Jing, the city lord's mansion

Looking carefully at the battle post in his hand, Gongsun Zhan raised his eyes, his gaze swept over the young generals below, and a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "General below, what is your name?" ”

Tang Jun's face was solemn, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Longcheng, Tang Jun, I have seen General Baima." ”

"Tang Jun?" Gongsun Chan nodded slightly, this name may not have been obvious to the world before, but after this battle, the name of Tang Jun may soon spread all over China, not only him, Luo Feng, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, these names that Gongsun Chan had never heard of before, will also rise rapidly with the battle of Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan can't help but sigh, how many fierce generals in Longcheng?

Li Xuan, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Shan Xiongxin and the four generals of the Li family are undiminished, but the new generation of young generals has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

There was some loss in his heart, but it was not shown on his face, Gongsun Zhan had a solemn look on his face, looked at Tang Jun and said solemnly: "Go back and tell Zhao Yun that this general will be handsome tomorrow and will be on a white horse, and outside the south gate, waiting for the driver!" ”

"Yes!" Tang Jun replied solemnly, and arched his hand: "The last general will retire!" ”

"Lord, this person has captured dozens of cities of our army in the past few months, he is the general of Dragon City, Zhao Yun dares to send him here, why not take this opportunity to capture him and threaten Dragon City to retreat?" Glancing at the direction Tang Jun left, Guan Jing said a little anxiously.

"Bastard!" Gongsun Zhan's face turned cold, and he glared at Guan Jing and said: "Zhao Yun treats each other with sincerity, if my Gongsun Zhan does such a despicable and shameless thing, even if Longcheng really retreats, what kind of face will this general have in the future, based on this world?" Remembering that you have followed this general for many years, worked hard and made great achievements, and did not punish you for crimes, this matter will be stopped, and you must mention it again, otherwise, you will not be spared! Gongsun Yuan and Wang Men, the two of you will rectify the White Horse Yicong, and at noon tomorrow, you will have a decisive battle with Zhao Yun outside the city! ”

"Whoa!" Gongsun Yuan, Wang Men bowed down and agreed, but Guan Jing had a cold light flashing in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and with a respectful face, he followed Gongsun Yuan and Wang Men out of the City Lord's Mansion together.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Gongsun Yuan and Wang Men went to the school field together to gather the White Horse Yicong, Guan Jing glanced back at the City Lord's Mansion, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and finally snorted lightly, stepped away, and returned to his residence, but did not practice, but secretly gathered some military generals who were close to him.

"Gongsun Chan doesn't listen to good words, and his demise is imminent, are you willing to follow him to perish together?" In Guan Jing's mansion, Guan Jing looked at the generals with a cold face, and said coldly: "I miss Guan Jing, I have always been conscientious, but I was so humiliated by him, it's really sad!" ”

"What does that mean, sir?" A military general looked at Guan Jing and lowered his voice.

"I heard that the Marquis of Ji intends to capture Gongsun Chan alive, why don't you join me to capture Gongsun Chan and dedicate it to the Marquis of Ji to gain the resources to gain his own resources?" Guan Jing looked at the generals and said in a deep voice.

"Guan Jing, the lord treats you fairly, but now that the lord is in danger, you don't want to serve the lord, you just want to murder the lord, today, I beheaded you, the villain at both ends of the snake and mouse!" Among the generals, one of the generals shouted loudly and drew his sword.

"So, General Chen is going to be my enemy?" Guan Jing looked at the general with a cold face and said coldly.

"So what? How can Chen ...... with you, an unfaithful and unrighteous person?"

Before General Chen finished speaking, a cold light suddenly swept next to him, and a sharp sword cut off General Chen's head, and the sword-wielding general looked at everyone indifferently: "Mr. is right, Gongsun Chan is just self-serving, and his demise is imminent, but he doesn't want to be buried for him, what does General Zhuwei think?" ”

While speaking, there was an uproar outside the door, and a group of guards rushed in, swords and guns were raised, and the cold chill enveloped the generals, and the generals felt a chill in their hearts, but they didn't expect Guan Jing to be so well prepared, looking at General Chen's uncooled corpse, the generals were even more stunned in their hearts.

"Mr. Guan, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that Gongsun Chan bravely crowns the three armies, even if we join forces, we may not be its opponents." One of the generals hesitated.

"You don't have to worry about that." Guan Jing smiled and said: "I already have a perfect plan in the future, I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight to entertain Gongsun Zhan, you are only allowed to do so at that time...... So...... That's it, just before the dinner, I have to grieve you, wait here, tomorrow morning, I will take Gongsun Chan together and open the city to surrender! ”

"Okay, according to what Mr. Guan said, I will be complicit in wealth and wealth!" A general gritted his teeth and said, the catastrophe is coming, not everyone is as loyal as General Chen, in any era, those who are willing to be generous and righteous are a minority, after all, they are a minority, and it is human nature to be afraid of death.
