Chapter 76: Withdrawal of troops
Zou Dan looked at Liu He and didn't say anything.
There is nothing to blame for avenging his father, although Zou Dan knows that Liu Yunai killed himself, but now there is no point in saying this, even if he says it, no one will believe it.
Liu He saw that Zou Dan's face was calm and did not say a word, he was annoyed in his heart, and turned around to return to the formation.
It didn't take long for the formation of the enemy soldiers outside the city to change, and many soldiers came up from behind with ladders, and a big battle was about to break out.
Zou Dan looked at the well-prepared enemy army, his heart was heavy, and he sighed secretly: "After this battle, I am afraid that I will not be able to expand the territory of the Lord in this life!" "Close your eyes in pain!
……
In the spring of the third year of Chuping, Liu Yu's son Liu He and his father's old department, united with Yan Rou, a native of Guangyang, to gather the army of Wuhuan and Xianbei to attack Yuyang.
Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan led 4,000 troops, and fought with him for a day and night, but finally because of the disparity in strength, the city was lost, and he died in battle!
……
Longcuo City, Yuan Shao has been unusual, and has not attacked for several days.
In the big tent, Gongsun Zhan looked suspicious, and asked: "Yuan Shao has not attacked for a few days, and he has not seen any other actions, is there any trickery?" ”
Gongsun Fan, who was sitting below, said disdainfully after hearing this: "No matter what he does, we just don't move lightly, what can he do?" ”
Regarding Gongsun Fan's words, Gongsun Chan just smiled and did not comment, his younger brother is brave, but his knowledge is really average.
Shan Jing had been sitting there thinking, and replied softly: "Could it be that he is waiting for the Le'an War?" ”
Everyone understands the meaning of Shan Jing, now the two sides are deadlocked, no one is absolutely sure to defeat the other party, so the situation can only wait for external changes, if Yuan Tan successfully captures Le'an and defeats Tian Kai, his morale will be greatly affected.
Coupled with Yuan Tan's defeat of Tian Kai, Qingzhou has no opponents, and he can lead the troops with a great victory to help.
Gongsun Chan also felt justified after hearing this, but when he saw Guan Jing sitting below and shook his head, he wondered in his heart: "Why did Mr. shake his head?" ”
Guan Jing can be regarded as Gongsun Zhan's most relied on strategist and is deeply trusted.
Guan Jing listened to the question and replied: "I thought that Yuan Shao was definitely not waiting for the battle situation in Le'an, and he had a lot of strategists, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You and others were all good at knowing and scheming, and they were good at making strange strategies, but as for what strategy...... I haven't guessed yet. ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhan became even more annoyed in his heart, and asked, "What if I take the initiative to attack and test it?" ”
Guan Jing thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "It's okay to take the initiative to attack, you can give it a try!" ”
Seeing that Guan Jing agreed, Gongsun Zhan was happy in his heart, stood up and said confidently: "Okay, I will personally lead the troops to fight tomorrow, but I want to see what tricks he has?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a soldier walked in outside the door and said, "Report to the lord, Zou Taishou sent someone to deliver the letter!" ”
Gongsun Zan heard that it was Zou Dan, nodded and replied: "Attract a meeting!" ”
After a while, the messenger entered, and when he saw Gongsun Zhan, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Report to the lord, Wuhuan and Xianbei jointly sent tens of thousands of troops, and the soldiers committed Yuyang, Zou Taishou was afraid of losing something, and the villain came to ask for help!" After speaking, he took out the letter and held it to Gongsun Zhan.
"What?" Gongsun Zhan was shocked when he heard that Wuhuan and Xianbei had joined forces to invade Yuyang, and hurriedly opened the letter to see it, and when he saw that what the letter said was really true, he couldn't help but be furious and scolded: "The thief outside the Saiwai is barbaric, do you think I didn't kill enough at the beginning?" ”
Guan Jing's face was also full of anxiety, Yuyang is an important place, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will be really dangerous, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Ask for faith!" ”
Gongsun Zhan's anger did not subside, and he angrily handed the letter to Guan Jing.
Guan Jing hurriedly took the letter and read it, and after reading it all, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, according to what Zou Tai said in his letter, although Wuhuan and Xianbei have tens of thousands of troops, they are all cavalry, and the general also knows that Hu Cai is not good at attacking cities, so Yuyang is worry-free for the time being!" ”
Hearing Guan Jing's analysis, Gongsun Chan gradually calmed down, nodded and agreed: "Mr. is reasonable, but tens of thousands of enemy soldiers are coming to the city, but they can't be careless, I want to divide the troops to help, I don't know what to do?" ”
Who knew that before Guan Jing could reply, a person stumbled into the door again, and shouted: "Report to the lord, Jixian County urgently report, Yan Yuyang is lost, Taishou Zou Dan died in battle, most of the four thousand soldiers were killed and wounded, and now a large number of Hu cavalry are killing Benji County!" ”
"What?"
"What?"
When the people in the tent heard this, they were all astonished.
The person in front of him just said that the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, why are they defeated so quickly?
Gongsun Zhan's eyes widened, and he asked loudly: "Wuhuan and Xianbei are both cavalry, why did they attack Yuyang so quickly?" ”
The man trembled, and hurriedly replied: "It's because Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, joined Liu Yu's old army to lead the troops, so he lost!" ”
"I'm angry!" Gongsun Zhan pulled out the sword on his waist, cut off the corner of the case with just one sword, and said angrily: "Liu Hezhuzi, collude with foreign clans, I swear to kill him!" ”
Guan Jing waited for Gongsun Zan to calm down for a while, and said: "Jixian County is the foundation of the lord, so save it quickly!" ”
Gongsun Zhan didn't know it, and immediately ordered the whole army to come back to help.
Guan Jing persuaded: "Now Yuan Shao is there, if our army retreats, he will lead the troops to chase, the lord can set up an ambush halfway, and wait for the Yuan army to chase and take the opportunity to kill, but he can be defeated!" ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Chan agreed, and immediately ordered: "Gongsun Fan, just listen to the order!" ”
The two of them quickly got up when they heard the roll call, clasped their fists and said, "The last general!" ”
"After ordering the two of you to lead 10,000 troops, hide the soldiers in the middle of the road, if the chasing soldiers come, kill them together, the Yuan army will be defeated, and then quickly lead the troops to converge!"
"No!"
"The rest of the people wait, quickly go down to reorganize the army, and then go back to save Jixian County!"
"No!"
With Gongsun Zhan's order, the entire camp suddenly became busy.
As soon as Gongsun Zhan made a move, he was discovered by Yuan Shao's scout in the shadows, and hurriedly went back to report.
After hearing the great joy, Yuan Shao immediately ordered someone to call all his civil and military officers to prepare to send troops.
Yuan Shao looked at his subordinates who came in a hurry, and said with joy on his face: "Just now, the scout came to report, Gongsun Zhan is gathering people and horses, and there is a great tendency to pull out the camp and leave!" ”
Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this, Guo Tu preemptively said: "Congratulations to the lord, it must be Liu He and others who succeeded in attacking Yuyang, the soldiers threatened Jixian, Gongsun Zan had to return to the rescue, the lord should immediately send troops, his army is in chaos, and he will be captured in a battle!" ”
After hearing this, Tian Feng got up and said: "Now Gongsun Zan withdraws his troops, he will stay behind after the army is broken, and the lord should be cautious!" ”
Yuan Shao didn't think about it, and said conceitedly: "Gongsun Zhan's morale has plummeted, the army has no fighting spirit, even if the army is broken, what can I do after the army is broken, I am not afraid on weekdays, let alone now?" ”
So he didn't listen to Tian Feng's words, and ordered Gao Ran to lead 10,000 cavalry to take the lead in pursuit, and he and Yan Liangwen Chou, leading 30,000 troops to follow.
Yuan Shao's instructions have been completed, and he said in high spirits: "The defeated prince Sun Zan is today, you should fight bravely to be the first and raise the prestige of our army!" ”
"No!"
