And Jingluo Hou Lan only replied to Sun Ming's five words: "The master is famous." ”

In April of the third year of Zhongping, Sun Ming led his nearly 15,000 men into the military capital of Guangyang County.

This is the closest city to Ueya-gun.

There was a pass in front of him, called Juyong Pass, which cut off Shanggu County and Guangyang County, and also blocked Sun Ming's passage into Shanggu.

But Sun Ming was not in a hurry to attack Juyong Pass, he had already asked the craftsman Gongsun Ping to come to Jundu County with his team of dozens of people in advance.

The biggest use of leaving Gongsun Ping at the beginning came in handy at this time.

Let dozens of its people secretly build a catapult on the spot to tackle key problems in the future, because the siege weapon is too heavy and too big.

Every time a siege is needed, it can only be formed on the spot.

And Sun Ming is not in a hurry, he still needs to find a legitimate reason to attack Juyong Pass, and the newly recovered Montenegrin Army is the best reason.

When Gongsun Zan heard the news of Sun Ming's troops, he didn't pay much attention to it, but just ordered Juyong County to let him keep an eye on the movements of Sun Ming's army from his younger brother Sun Yue.

That night, when Gongsun Zhan was in the mansion, his advisor Tian Yu found him.

Gongsun Zhan was drinking with several family elders, Tian Yu was an anxious man, and he was going to talk about official business.

"No hurry, no hurry. Tian Yu, it's family banquet time, you can have a few drinks with me first. ”

Hearing this, Tian Yu had no choice but to shut up and sit down.

After three rounds of drinking, Gongsun Zhan was bragging about his previous achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turban, and everyone also cooperated and said good things.

Tian Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, "General, that Sun Ming is different from the previous guerrillas, his achievements in the past two years are no less than that of the general, and he has the support of eunuchs, so he has to guard against it." ”

"There are only a few thousand defenders in Juyong County, and I am afraid that we will need to double it to guard the gateway of Juyong Pass."

Gongsun Chan was interrupted by him, and most of his interest disappeared, and he took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

replied with a disdainful face, "I didn't even go to him to avenge the humiliation, and the Sun thief came to die by himself, don't worry, I'm here." ”

Tian Yu was shocked when he heard this, and stood up regardless of etiquette, "How can a general have the heart to underestimate the enemy?" That Sun Ming's 'all-winning general' is famous, and the general's move will undoubtedly give up Shanggu. ”

Gongsun Chan impatiently raised his left hand and motioned for him to sit down.

If it weren't for the fact that he still has some ability, who can stand it with such a contrarian temperament all day long.

"You calm down first, first of all, what reason did he use to attack me, the whole world was watching, it was impossible for him to rebel, right? The Yuan family in Jizhou and Ding Yuan in Bingzhou were also staring at him. ”

"Don't boost his morale here, I'm annoyed to listen to it."

"Let me catch him in the future, I will definitely blow his head alive, come, let's continue drinking."

Tian Yu still wanted to continue to persuade, but as soon as his mouth wanted to move, Gongsun Zhan pointed his hand and his head horizontally.

blocked Tian Yu's words, so he could only obediently shut up and drink, and it didn't take long for Tian Yu to leave and go back.

Two days later, dozens of people claiming to be Montenegrin rebels appeared outside Juyong City, running around Juyong City to harass them.

They did not kill people, but only robbed things, which made the whole city panic, and the news of the Montenegrin army's presence in Juyong spread all over the streets and alleys within three days.

Of course, this was arranged by Sun Ming, although the army could not pass through the pass from the mountain path, but the team could, he deliberately let the Montenegrin army that had surrendered him before to do things.

Gongsun Yue, the commander of Juyong County, also sent soldiers to encircle and suppress, but those Montenegrin troops hid in the mountains as soon as they saw the army.

This has been the case for many days, and Gongsun Yue has also been upset and irritable.

But he didn't want to even report such a trivial matter to Fuyang, he was stunned that it was not a good thing.

Until Sun Ming sent a strategist to the front of the pass and asked the defenders on the pass to send a letter to Gongsun Yue.

The main content of the letter reads: "Today, I am under the order of heaven to crusade against the Montenegrin army, do my best, and dare not relax one day. ”

"But you protect the rebels privately, and I advise you to obediently hand over the rebels within ten days, otherwise I will go to the court and impeach Gongsun Chan for the crime of rebellion."

Gongsun Yue was shocked when he read the letter.

The thief who didn't take it seriously has now become a reason for Sun Ming to attack.

Seeing that things were getting more and more out of control, Gongsun Yue hurriedly asked the herald to go to Fuyang County with a letter to find Gongsun Zhan.

After Gongsun Chan received the letter, he was even more annoyed, and he kicked over the desk.

"The deception is too much, my Gongsun Zan is still afraid that you won't succeed, and if you borrow a few small thieves, you want to invade my upper valley."

Gongsun Zhan summoned all the generals, and after telling him about the situation, he made up his mind and said, "The whole army will listen to the order, and in two days, it will be released, and I will kill the traitor Sun Ming." ”

Tian Yu was also present, and he came out to persuade, "This is exactly what Sun Ming used to lure the enemy, the general must not be fooled, and Guangning is also eyeing the enemy, so you must not guard against it." ”

"For today's plan, I will first send someone to Luoyang to explain the situation and show that we have no intention of rebellion."

"Let Captain Wangmen lead 5,000 people to help Juyong in case of emergency."

Gongsun Chan was upset, but after calming down, he felt that Tian Yu's method was still reasonable, so he did so.

Ten days later, a few people who went to Jingluo came back and brought a very bad news.

The court's reply was harshly worded, accusing Gongsun Chan of harboring the rebels, and the evidence was conclusive, and all the people in the world had the power and duty to crusade.

directly put Gongsun Chan on the big hat of treason, deprived him of his position as a general, and let him return to Luoyang on his own to stand trial.

When Gongsun Zhan received the imperial court's reply, he was stunned all of a sudden, and after reacting, he scolded hysterically, tore the palindrome to shreds, and wanted to hammer the case a few times.

His voice was already loud, and at full volume, the entire Taishou Mansion heard insults.

His family was taken aback and ran to comfort him.

After half a day, he finally calmed down and looked at the messy room.

Feeling helpless, he could only find another strategist, Guan Jing, to discuss countermeasures.

After reading the letter, the strategist Guan Jing said, "The general was turned into a prisoner by a letter, this must be done by the central eunuch, a certain clan brother has an official position in Luoyang, and he has mentioned it in his family letter." ”

"The recitals from all over the country are concentrated in the hands of the eunuchs, who deceive Your Majesty and deal with the affairs of the court and politics on their own."

Gongsun Zhan, who had vented, looked weak, sat down on the couch and said, "Yes, I underestimated Sun Thief, and I also underestimated that group of eunuchs." ”

"Their power can already influence the world's affairs."

Guan Jing went on to say, "The prestige of a general is not in his false name, but in his courage in battle, and he does everything himself. ”

"The court doesn't recognize it, the general can appoint himself, and Shanggu is still in our hands."

Gongsun Zhan was in a slightly more relaxed mood when he heard this, and motioned for him to continue.

"Today's law, the general will write two more letters, one to the Yuan family of Jizhou, and one to the Gongsun Du of Liaodong, and form an alliance with them to conspire with Sun Thief."

"The Yuan clan has a good relationship with the general, and he will not sit idly by, so Gongsun Du can bring thirty catties of gold to form an alliance."

"As long as the two of them agree, even if they can't swallow Sun Ming, he won't dare to rashly attack us."

Guan Jing is relatively mellow, he knows very well that in this case, he has to choose what Gongsun Chan likes to listen to, and he sees Tian Yu being snubbed.
