Chapter 62: A Secret Letter to Gongsun Zhan
Lu Chen didn't bring out many soldiers and horses, but these two are definitely the elite of the elite, which can be regarded as a great face-saving for Gongsun Zhan. In terms of combat strength, Zhang Yang's 5,000 Hanoi soldiers were completely unable to survive an hour in front of these 1,000 people.
After seeing Gao Shun's inhuman soldier selection, Lu Chen knew very well the combat effectiveness of this untrained trapped camp, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army, Lu Chen knew very well that in his opinion, against ordinary opponents, a thousand people against ten thousand people, he was not afraid at all.
It is said that Lu Bu can fight five or six under the horse, Lu Chen can fight three, and when he tried to fight four, he was smashed by Cao Xing and his eyes were blackened, and he was almost kicked by Zhang Gu's animal. One person can't deal with ten people, but it's not a myth that a thousand people can fight ten thousand, this is the meaning of the army, and the combat effectiveness of a well-trained army is not entirely determined by the number of people. And no matter how many troops there are without good suzhì, they are scattered, otherwise, how could the million Yellow Turban Army be wiped out by Huangfu Song and others in a snap of their fingers.
The officers and men of the whole army have been cultivating for a few days, and their spirit is still relatively sufficient, and the fatigue left by the journey of thousands of miles cannot be cleared in a while, but Lu Chen has no choice, so he still brought them out.
Among the elite of this line, at the beginning, only Pang Tong was a burden, and the horse riding would always be planted for no reason, and his nose and face would be swollen, Lu Chentong's analysis came to the conclusion that Pang Tong looked asymmetrical, and the center of gravity was strictly deviated, SO, and it was difficult for the war horse under the crotch to grasp the master's center of gravity, and he couldn't control it himself, so it was easy to roll down with few bumps. In the end, Lu Chen asked people to make a high bridge saddle for his war horse temporarily, and set up a wooden stick on the saddle for Pang Tong to hold, which was better. Gaoqiao saddle was originally Lu Chen's trick, and after saving Gongsun Zhan, he went back to change the cavalry equipment, but now he took it out first. Some of the children of the family have practiced good riding and archery skills, but some only know how to ride an ox cart with a book all day long, which is called the style of antiquity, and it is obvious that Pang Tong is the latter.
Later, Lu Zhan hurriedly caught up again, which was another burden. He said that Mrs. was afraid that no one would serve Xiaojun when he was waiting for the war, and Lu Chen had served his wife, and he still had to be served by someone when he was fighting? It's enough to have pro-soldiers! When he was in Yanmen, Lu Chen had already selected ten cavalry to be his personal soldiers.
Ten days later, when she was about to go to Guangyang County, the seat of Youzhou Governance, to meet Gongsun Xu, there was another burden, her name was Lu Qi. When Lu Qi suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen, he was wearing a suit of armor, grinning tigerly, his eyes were bright, and he said, "Little brother, are you going to fight again?" ”
Lu Chen held his forehead with one hand and was silent for a long time, obviously this ploppy sister followed all the way, and waited until now to show up, but her patience was good, and now, it was impossible to get her back again.
Is it easy for me to go out and fight? Why do you go forward and catch up one after another? Hooray!
When Lu Chen's department arrived in Guangyang County, Gongsun Xu came out early to greet him, which was considered courtesy, but Gongsun Xu's younger brother Gongsun Shang liked to look at Lu Chen and the others with white eyes, and there were few people who disliked Lu Chen in his words. Gongsun Xu is quite knowledgeable, and after driving away Gongsun Shang, he apologized to Lu Chen, no way, his father was surrounded, he was asking for reinforcements everywhere, if he still wants to be arrogant at this time, he is either an idiot or Gongsun Shang, well, in fact, the two mean the same thing. Gongsun Xu knew the combat effectiveness of Lu Chen's Tiger Army, so he naturally didn't dare to despise Lu Chen, and even knew that Lu Chen brought a mysterious artifact that would explode, which was recognized by Cao Cao's military advisor Guo Jia, it is said that Lu Chen killed more than 10,000 Cao troops in Wuchao that day, relying on this secret thing, he didn't dare to underestimate Lu Chen and others.
Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army claimed to be 100,000, but in fact there were only 70,000, and they were divided into three routes, one way to Taihang, all the way through Yanmen Wutai Mountain, and the other way to Hejian Country, so they didn't have to come to Guangyang. Therefore, what Gongsun Xu is now receiving here is only the grain and grass baggage, as well as the Wuhuan cavalry of Shanggu and Yuyang counties.
Lu Chen only rested for one day, and did not wait for his follow-up baggage troops to arrive, so he came to Gongsun Xu's mansion, mentioning that he wanted to lead the army south as soon as possible, and Gongsun Xu was quite embarrassed. At this time, Zhang Yan's army was mostly infantry, and they had not yet rushed to Yijing, so Gongsun Xu and others did not dare to rush south alone. There are not only Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops, but even 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry led by Lord Wuhuan, because Gongsun Chan is strong against Wuhuan, and Yuan Shao secretly rewarded the Wuhuan three in the name of the emperor, so the Wuhuan cavalry in Liaoxi County, Beiping on the right side fell to Yuan Shao, which is also one of the reasons why Gongsun Chan is invincible.
The reason why he wanted to lead his troops south in advance was not that Lu Chen wanted to take risks, but that he knew how Gongsun Chan died. Although Lu Chen didn't learn well in later history, it didn't matter, he played a lot of games, and he also played a lot of games like the Three Kingdoms, although he didn't know how an unpopular character like Zhang Yang died, but the white horse general Gongsun Zan still knew.
In the fourth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, in March, Zhang Yan and Gongsun Xu of Montenegro led 100,000 troops to rescue Gongsun Zan in three ways. Before the reinforcements arrived, Gongsun Chan secretly sent a general Wen Ze to send a letter to Gongsun Xu, asking him to lead 5,000 cavalry in the north and raise torches in response, and Gongsun Chan went out from the city to fight. Yuan Shao robbed Wen Ze, got the secret letter, planned the plan, and raised the torch. Gongsun Chan thought that the rescue had arrived, and led his troops to attack. Yuan Shao set up an ambush to attack Gongsun Zhan, who was defeated and returned to the city to hold on. Yuan Shao then dug a tunnel to the bottom of the city tower, destroyed its watchtower, and gradually reached the central mound. Gongsun Zhan expected that he would be defeated, so he first killed his wife and children, and then set himself on fire.
Lu Chen only knew that Gongsun Chan died in March, but he didn't know what the date it was, and it was already February 22nd! So Lu Chen is very anxious, Gongsun Zhan is a good teammate who blocks guns after all, if he hangs up, Lu Chen's department is only afraid that he will be taken special care of Yuan Shao in Yanmen. Lu Chen urgently needs to save Gongsun Zhan, as for who wins and who loses in this war, he doesn't care, as long as Gongsun Chan is not destroyed.
Gongsun continued to persuade Lu Chen to wait for two more days, and when Zhang Yan's army arrived, he took the Wuhuan cavalry to the south with him.
Lu Chenxin said wait, wait until your whole family is burned to death!
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly saw that Gongsun Xu was holding a volume of secret letters in his hand, and he was ordering someone to send it to Yi Jing secretly.
"General Gongsun," Lu Chen's eyes lit up, could it be that Gongsun Xu hadn't sent a secret letter to Gongsun Chan yet, "What is this?" But a secret letter to General Fenwu (Gongsun Zhan)? ”
Gongsun Xu hesitated for a moment before he said: "Yes, continue to inform my father that the reinforcements are coming and let him hold on." ”
Lu Chen slapped his palms suddenly, you said that you hadn't informed Gongsun Chan yet, so Lao Tzu was so anxious as if he was in a hurry. Since Gongsun Chan has not yet learned the news that reinforcements are coming, it is naturally impossible to be deceived out of the city by Yuan Shao, and it seems that there is still plenty of time.
Lu Chen said: "You add two more sentences to the letter, let him just stick to it, don't reply to the letter, don't agree on anything with us, don't send someone to contact us, lest the messenger be robbed by Yuan Shao, and then trick him out of the city." In addition, let him prepare more tung oil, if Yuan Shao digs a tunnel into the city, he will pour tung oil into it, burn it with fire, and then block the tunnel entrance. In addition, take more than 100 large vats and scatter them in all parties in the city, and the sound of the other party digging the tunnel can be heard, so as to know the location of the tunnel! ”
Gongsun Xu's eyes straightened: "......"
Lu Chen said, scratched his head, and seemed to have nothing else to explain, so he nodded and said, "That's all!" ”
