Chapter 160: Falling apart
Yuwen Chengdu and Gongsun Chan started a brief confrontation between Yanxiang and Lingqiu.
During the confrontation, the two sides tacitly avoided the link of going to the other side's camp to fight.
Gongsun Chan was very self-aware, knowing that the strength of his generals was not the opponent of Yuwen Chengdu, so he did not dare to send people to bring humiliation on himself, so as not to affect the morale of his own army.
Yuwen Chengdu thought about the same as Gongsun Zhan, he knew the level of the generals under Gongsun Zhan, and knew that even if he went, the other party would not dare to go out of the camp to fight, so there was no need to waste time doing things that would not get a response at all.
The army is outside, the consumption of grain and grass is very huge, Liu Wei sits on the land of two states, and there are Lelang and other counties to continuously send grain and grass to the front line.
And Gongsun Zhan, who only owns the land of two counties, is far from being so lucky, and now Shanggu and Daijun have been isolated by Liu Wei's army, and the grain and grass can not be sent to the front line at all, and Gongsun Xu, who led the army to sit in Shanggu County, is now like a frightened bird, and will become the target of Liu Wei's army at any time, therefore, Gongsun Zhan, who is eating his old book, has no choice at present, and he can only get a glimmer of life from the war through a quick battle.
As the old saying goes, the landlord's family has no surplus grain either.
Although Yuan Shao wanted to weaken Liu Bian's strength through Gongsun Zhan, his character determined that he could not give Gongsun Chan too much support and help, and after sending someone to send grain and grass to Gongsun Chan twice, he pushed the burden of transporting grain and grass to Han Fu.
Han Fu was afraid of Yuan Shao's family affairs, but he also sent someone to send some grain and grass to Gongsun Zhan, but only once, when Gongsun Zhan sent someone to Han Fu to urge grain again, Han Fu was willing to make a fool of himself at first, and shirked the spring ploughing just after the spring ploughing, There was not much grain in the treasury, and then Han Fu simply played a closed-door game with the other party.
The people sent by Gongsun Chan to urge food couldn't even see Han Fu's face at all.
Since then, Gongsun Chan has finally recognized the faces of Yuan Shao and Han Fu, and scolded Yuan Shao for being a bastard who can only draw flatbread with empty mouths.
Although Yuan Shao does have many shortcomings, he is not stupid at all.
Yuan Shao deliberately pushed the matter of supplying grain and grass to Gongsun Zan to Han Fu, in fact, he made two preparations, if Han Fu did what he said, it could have the effect of weakening Liu Fu's strength, and if Han Fuyang disobeyed, then Yuan Shao could rely on this matter to take the opportunity to attack him, so as to pocket Jizhou in one fell swoop.
Compared with weakening Liu Wei's strength, Yuan Shao's desire for Jizhou was more than the former, because at that time, Jizhou was definitely known as the existence of the rich world, Jizhou had the largest population in the world, and the money and food were abundant, and the soldiers were sufficient.
"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, after a certain Jizhou is in the bag, the strength will definitely be above the princes, and at that time, great things can be done!" This is a portrayal of Yuan Shao's current mood.
Just when Gongsun Chan and Yuwen Chengdu led their troops to confront each other in the area of Yanxiang and Lingqiu, the contradictions between the Kwantung coalition forces with their own intentions had reached a critical point, and Gongsun Chan's departure with his army finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Yuan Shao was anxious to lead his army back to attack Han Fu, so his mind was no longer on the matter of Dong Fuhan, and finally a very fierce conflict broke out with Cao Cao over whether to continue to pursue Dong Zhuo's army, and this conflict eventually became the fuse for the dissolution of the coalition army.
Cao Cao scolded Yuan Shao and the others for being mediocre people with a vegetarian diet, and immediately led the army to leave the camp and pursue Dong Zhuo's army alone.
A few days later, the coalition received news of Cao Cao's defeat, which directly became the main trigger for the disbandment of the coalition army.
Since then, Han Fu, Sun Jian, Tao Qian and others have successively led the army to break away from the coalition army, and the originally powerful coalition of princes finally ended hastily in such a dramatic form.
And Gongsun Zhan, who could not get food and grass, finally had to make a passive choice, and in the end he could only decide his fate through a quick decision.
Gongsun Zhan's biggest reliance was the world-famous White Horse Yicong, so he personally commanded the army to pour out of the nest and set up a position fifty miles east of Lingqiu, wanting to fight to the death with Yuwen Chengdu.
In fact, Gongsun Chan also had a fluke mentality, before he led the army out of the camp, he had a conversation with his staff, and everyone thought that Yuwen Chengdu would not go out of the camp to fight, because in the eyes of everyone, if it was a decisive battle with Bai Ma Yicong in a very open place, it would be purely looking for death.
However, Yuwen Chengdu's actions were greatly unexpected by everyone, not only did they lead the army out of the nest, but the key people also took the initiative to lead the army to charge their own army.
Looking at the cavalry formation on the opposite side, which was galloping rapidly, Gongsun Chan blinked in confusion and said in his heart: "What is the situation here?" ”
Under the coercion and temptation of Yuwen Chengdu, Tuoba Jiefen finally reluctantly agreed that the Xianbei cavalry would take the lead in the charge, while the Han cavalry would follow behind the Xianbei cavalry as the second echelon and charge Gongsun Zhan's army.
Most of the Xianbei cavalry were mainly light cavalry, and most of their offensive routines were to change places with one shot (run away after shooting), and they rarely fought the opponent in the form of a large-scale dense phalanx.
Therefore, what is currently presented in front of Gongsun Chan is a cavalry unit with an extremely loose formation, and such an opponent, in Gongsun Chan's view, is simply an experience package that comes up to give people heads.
After a moment of stunned, Gongsun Chan immediately laughed and gave the order to charge to the white horse Yicong who was neatly lined up behind him.
After receiving the order to charge, the three thousand white horses were in uniform when they hit the horses and went out of the battle, and the military appearance was very neat, even the movements of waving the horsewhip and carrying weapons fell in the eyes of others, which made people feel very pleasing to the eye.
Yuwen Chengdu glanced up at the white horse righteous servant who was not in any disorder when he charged, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that such a good cavalry unit is about to be annihilated under the iron hooves of our army." ”
Yuwen Chengdu said, tightened the phoenix wings in his hand, glanced sideways at An Lushan, and reminded: "The other party is a well-trained cavalry unit, and after the battle, we must deal with it carefully, and we must not be careless about the enemy." ”
"No."
An Lushan nodded solemnly.
Gongsun Zhan hid his figure in the military formation very much, and did not dare to expose himself easily in front of Yuwen Chengdu, so as not to be targeted by the other party.
Marching and fighting, with their own strengths, attacking the other's shortcomings, is the best strategy.
With such a powerful cavalry unit as Bai Ma Yicong, Gongsun Chan felt that he had won the battle, so he was unwilling to take any more risks.
