Chapter 66: The Great War is about to begin
The so-called substitute baggage team is an extremely obscene statement, everyone knows that the baggage team is within the scope of their own control, generally speaking, there is no danger, not to mention, the baggage team itself still has an escort army, and after the break, they have to hide behind the army of the baggage team. At the end of the day, it's just like being a pioneer in retreat.
And Cao Xuan didn't think so, he thought it was Gongsun Xu's contempt and insult to Lu Chen's soldiers and horses, so his reaction was very fierce. I have to say that Cao Xing is a ...... with a great sense of honor and mission second goods, because he cared very much about Lu Chen and the honor of Lu Chen's subordinates, and he didn't understand why Gongsun continued to let Lu Chen break off.
In fact, it was very simple, Gongsun Xu knew that the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben and the trapped camp led by Lu Chen was at least a hundred times more reliable than the Yellow Turban Army that had just lost their hoes and ran with weapons. This is a kind of protection, but also a kind of concealment, not only to protect the safety of Lu Chen's subordinates so that they can get enough rest, but also to prevent Yuan Shao's spies from probing the details of Lu Chen's soldiers and horses. At the same time, he also knew the contradiction between Lu Chen and the Yellow Turban Army, and put him in the back to reduce trouble for Lu Chen.
It is precisely because of this that neither Lu Chen nor Pang Tong expressed any objections.
Gongsun Xu, Zhang Fang and others are all cavalrymen, and they can reach Gu'an in one day. The destination of the baggage team is not Gu'an, but Rongcheng in the north of Yi County, the speed of the baggage team is much slower, one day to Liangxiang and another day to Zhuo County, and it took two days to reach Rongcheng.
In the four days that he went south, Lu Chen was only troubled by Gongsun Shang once, not because Gongsun Shang didn't want to continue, but because he didn't dare.
On the first day, Gongsun Shang did not provide horse material for Lu Chen's subordinates, and that night, Lu Chen directly led his troops to rush into Gongsun Xu's camp, and Gongsun Shang was so frightened that he urinated.
Here's the thing, at the beginning, Gongsun Shang sent someone to order Lu Chen's subordinates to become scouts, and they kept exploring the area of fifty miles before and after the baggage team day and night to ensure the safety of the army.
Lu Chen replied to him with a piece of cloth with three words written on it: Roll the calf.
Obviously, Gongsun Shang has a very strong relationship with Zhang Fang Baiping, and he wants to toss Lu Chen around the corner, he never thought that Lu Chen came to save his father, as if Lu Chen was begging to save his father, in fact, Lu Chen's appearance was indeed a little soft, he didn't know that Lu Chen had a crush on Zhao Yun, he just thought that Lu Chen was afraid of him, this IQ was really anxious. As a result, Gongsun Shang completely regarded himself as a leader, and after receiving the three words sent by Lu Chen, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded.
Then, when it was time to camp in the evening, Gongsun Shang did not provide horse material to Lu Chen's department, originally he wanted Lu Chen to come and serve softly, so he rewarded Lu Chen with some horse material, but Lu Chen really came, but he came with cavalry.
There are nearly 15,000 people in Gongsun Shang's department, but more than 10,000 are people, and there are only 4,000 old and weak baggage soldiers, so the defense ability is naturally far from enough, so Lu Chen easily rushed into Gongsun Shang's camp with the cavalry.
At that time, Gongsun Shang was rolling the sheets with a woman who got it out of nowhere, Lu Chen broke into the big tent and smashed Gongsun Shang's four personal soldiers with three punches, two of them fainted on the spot, and Gongsun Shang screamed in fright.
The next thing was simple, Lu Chen dragged the almost naked Gongsun Shang out of the camp, took him to the snowy wilderness, and smiled very kindly and said that he wanted to talk to Gongsun Shang about life and ideals, he said: "I don't know why, the first time I saw you, I felt that I was very close to you." ”
Then Gongsun Shang wailed, and his voice was poignant and tactful: "Who the hell withheld the food and grass of the friendly army?" Don't send it over yet! Even friendly forces are bullied, and you are still not human......"
Since this night, Gongsun Shang has never troubled Lu Chen, which is completely contrary to his original idea, but there is nothing to be done. Whenever he thought of that dark night, he was naked-naked, in the wilderness, surrounded by a group of men and thieves with tigers and bears, staring at his lower body, he couldn't help but tremble, where else could he have any other crooked ideas?
Afterwards, Gao Shun and Cao Xuan both expressed their worries, thinking that tossing Gongsun Shang like this might anger Gongsun Chan and make it difficult to get along in the future.
Pang Tong explained their confusion for them: "It's not like this, if Gongsun Chan dies this time, then there will be nothing, Gongsun is still playing, but Gongsun continues." If Gongsun Chan didn't die, it would be better, Gongsun Shang couldn't play Gongsun Xu, and when the time came, Gongsun Xu would fall into the well and say to Gongsun Chan that Gongsun Shang was making trouble for his allies when he was rescue......"
Looking at Pang Tong, who had a profound face and won thousands of miles, Gao Shun was full of admiration, and Cao Xuan said that he didn't understand.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes, it was Pang Tong's idea to toss Gongsun Shang like this, he thought that this would cure the root cause, make him scared, and completely solve the trouble. Now, Pang Tong is running to show off his "reasoning" again, which is really shameless.
Pang Tong is very thick-skinned, this is what Lu Chen has known for a long time, and even Lu Qi thinks so, the reason is that when she secretly went to the toilet in no man's land a few days ago, Pang Tong shamelessly jumped out to scare her, and asked her if she had eaten, and then Lu Qi decisively smashed him with a punch, and scratched him again.
After all, Lu Qi is a woman, and many things are inconvenient, so recently, he has been mixed with Lu Chen's personal soldiers, and Lu Zhan has taken care of him, but he has not caused any major incidents, and Pang Tong's matter is purely his own fault.
Four days later.
Lu Chen's troops followed the baggage team to Rongcheng, and Gongsun Xu and Zhang Yan had already led tens of thousands of troops to camp outside Rongcheng, and this was the barracks for Yuan Shao later.
All the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Xu were hoarded here, and Zhang Yan's 30,000 troops were also here, and the remaining 30,000 Yellow Turban troops were divided into two, one occupied the north new city in the west, and the other was stationed in Gu'an after falling, and the three military camps were in a corner. Gongsun Xu and Zhang Yan did not rush to send troops, but sent more scouts to investigate, so as to be prepared, after all, even if Gongsun Xu attracted 80,000 rescuers, Yuan Shao on the opposite side had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry.
The armies of both sides gathered, and the great battle was about to begin.
Yi Jing.
On the top of the watchtower in the city.
Gongsun Zhan's handsome face showed an unprecedented depression and old age, he looked at the north from afar, and asked, "Reinforcements have arrived in Rong County?" ”
Behind him, Wen Ze said: "Yes, I just received a secret letter from the little general, saying that the army has arrived, and I hope the general will hold on for a few more days." ”
"Huh......" Gongsun Zhan let out a sigh of relief, and asked again, "How is Yuan Shaojun recently?" What's new? ”
"No, it's nothing more than only those two ways to attack the city, put up the ladder, and pout the tunnel. Our army has more than 30,000 soldiers, and the defense of the city is foolproof, Yuan Shao can't capture the city, and the only thing to worry about is the tunnel. ”
"Authentic? If it weren't for the fact that Xu Er mentioned it in the secret letter last time, I'm afraid we would have ......"
"The little general really expected that Yuan Shao would dig tunnels, we placed hundreds of water tanks in the city according to the instructions of the little general, and now we have found four tunnels of the enemy, all of which have been destroyed. Not to mention sticking to it for a few days, even if it's a month, there's no problem. ”
"Hmm."
Gongsun Chan nodded, stopped talking, and felt a lot more relaxed inexplicably.
Once upon a time, he piled up firewood under the watchtower, shrunk his wife and children in the watchtower, and only waited for Yuan Shao to kill him, he wanted to kill his wife and children with his own hands, and then set himself on fire. At that time, he was almost desperate, but now, he sees hope again!
