Chapter 64: Fake Siege and Real Reinforcements
Gongsun Chan immediately started writing a few letters, asking the herald to take his letter to ask for help and form an alliance.
The letter came to the hands of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family in Jizhou, but at this time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were also annexing territory in Jizhou and expanding their power, so they had no time to care about him.
At this time, the pastor of Jizhou was Han Fu, but this person was weak and incompetent, and it was okay to be a local official in the prosperous era.
In these last days, when hungry wolves are everywhere, he is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The Yuan family, who had made great contributions to the previous suppression of the Yellow Turbans, was weakening its power so that Jizhou could be completely controlled by them.
Han Fu has nothing to do about it, he is not a native of Jizhou, and there is really no way to face the wealthy Yuan family.
Liaodong Gongsun Du's side was even more simply ignored.
Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan are not related by blood.
He said that if you beat yours, I can manage this barren one-third of an acre of land.
Liaodong is indeed under the jurisdiction of Youzhou in terms of attribution, but the place is poor and sparsely populated, and the Gongsun Du is also peaceful, and everyone generally chooses to ignore his existence.
After asking for help again to no avail, Gongsun Zhan's violent temper also came up, regardless of the opposition of his advisers, he led more than 10,000 people out of Juyongguan, and he wanted to fight Sun Ming to the death.
This is his nature, taking the lead and fighting on the battlefield.
The husband is successful in using power and defeated in conspiracy, Gongsun Zhan's character is destined to be only a general, not a handsome.
A coach thinks about how to charge all day long, and if he doesn't make good use of strategy, he can't be defeated.
Before Gongsun Zhan set out, he added 8,000 people to the northwest to garrison the three cities of Northwest Xialuo, Pan County, and Tang County to resist Yuli and Guan Yu in Guangning.
Now there are only five or six thousand people in the city.
In mid-April, Gongsun Zhan went down to the village in front of Juyong Pass and confronted the military capital.
From time to time, Gongsun Chan also personally led hundreds of people to provoke and insult in front of the city, but Sun Ming did not fight him and insisted on not being able to do so.
Sun Ming stood on the city wall, with his hands behind his back, and looked at Gongsun Chan calmly and roared.
Zhao Yun behind him saw that Gongsun Zhan was so arrogant, and finally couldn't help it.
"Lord, Yun Yuan led three hundred people to meet that Gongsun Zhan, he is too arrogant."
Sun Ming turned his head, looked at Zhao Yun for a while, and patted him on the shoulder.
Kindly comforted, "Zilong, don't worry, if the sky wants it to perish, you must first make it crazy, don't you think this Gongsun Chan is already crazy?" ”
"The enemy is in a hurry, we don't panic."
"First consume its edge, if the enemy sergeants have no momentum and do not unite their hearts, although there are millions of people, and I am not afraid."
"And we are involved in Gongsun Chan on our side, and the military division is already in action."
A few days ago, he sent a large number of spies to various parts of Shanggu to spread the news that the imperial court had designated Gongsun Chan as a traitor to the party, and incited the confidence of the soldiers and the people.
Gongsun Chan couldn't attack for a while, and the news that they were rebels began to circulate in the army, and the army's heart was turbulent for a while.
The attack could not be attacked again, and there were problems within the army, so out of helplessness, they could only return to the army and rest and recuperate.
Talk about two ends.
When Sun Ming attracted Gongsun Zhan's attention on the front side of the military capital, Quang Ninh behind Shanggu had already moved his army.
This is the method that Sun Ming and Yu Li's letter have long negotiated.
In mid-April, Gongsun Zhong led 800 Xianbei cavalry to raid the outpost from Quang Ninh County with lightning speed.
Because most of the territory of Kamiya is mountainous, there are not many options for marching roads.
There are several places that are naturally well guarded, and there are no outposts in the way.
Yu Li was the commander, leading 15,000 men, quickly south, through the outpost, into the Yongluo Basin.
Straight to the three counties of Xiaxia, Pan County, and Tang County.
Under the influence of Sun Ming, before every battle, he would personally go to the front line to check the terrain, and then think about ways to break the enemy.
After Yu Li inspected the terrain, he found that the situation was more difficult than he had imagined.
The Falling City is located right in front of Yuli's army, it is the gateway to Fuyang, and if it is breached, it will directly threaten Fuyang, the seat of Shanggu's governance.
This is the purpose of Yu Li, and at the same time, Gongsun Chan and his advisors also understand this truth.
After increasing the reinforcements, there were 7,000 defenders in the city, 4,000 from Pan County on the left and 5,000 from Tang County on the right.
The left and right cities guard the fall of the center, forming an inverted triangle and supporting each other.
The important whereabouts of the city and county order is Gongsun Zhan's uncle, Gongsun Changji, who is good at literature in his life, and has studied all the theories of Confucianism, and is a Confucian general.
Yu Li was not discouraged in the face of this problem, he was highly focused on breaking the game, and sent a number of spies out.
For two days in a row, he didn't step out of the tent, he didn't eat much, and he stared at the map all day without saying a word.
At last he breathed a sigh of relief, took a pen dipped in ink, and wrote down all the thoughts in his head on mulberry paper.
'Fake siege, real reinforcement', this is Yu Lixiang's tactic.
Then the soldiers called Guan, Zhang, and Gongsun to enter the account to discuss the matter.
But as soon as his spirit relaxed, his stomach growled, and Yu Li looked at the cold boiled cakes (that is, noodles) on the table, and ate them without care.
After Yu Li saw that several people had arrived, he let the half-eaten boiled cake be taken down by his entourage.
Gongsun Zhong saw it and hurriedly stopped, "Strategist, you eat first, and we'll wait." ”
Guan and Zhang also responded in unison, and when Yu Li saw this, he had to take a few rough bites and hand the empty bowl to his entourage.
He licked his lips casually and led the group to the table.
"This division has figured out a way to crack the enemy's army, please look at the map."
"The most important thing is to fall into the city, this is the consensus of the enemy and us, and the enemy army will definitely do its best to protect it."
"I'll take advantage of the enemy's psychology and give them a siege to help."
Zhang Fei looked at the map, scratched the back of his head, and asked suspiciously, "But the number of our army and the enemy army is about the same, Yide, I am worried that the siege will not be successful, but the rear will be blocked by the left and right cities." ”
"Surrounded by the enemy, we will be hopeless, military advisor."
"The difference between Yide's words, we have about the same number of enemies with the three counties, but what about the enemies with the two counties?"
Yu Li pointed to Tang County and Pan County on the map with his hand.
"We and other troops are divided into three routes, I lead the Chinese army to pretend to besiege the whereabouts, and the falling cities are in an emergency, and the remaining two cities will be sent to rescue."
"Yun Chang, you lead a thousand people to block the Tang County defenders, and Yide, you lead a thousand people to also stop the Pan County defenders."
"Let them believe that we will attack Xialuo City, and the two of them don't have to hold on, and they will move closer to our Chinese army after a little resistance."
When Guan Yu heard this, he touched his long beard and said with a bold smile, "I understand what you mean, military advisor." ”
"The military advisor wants to earn the defenders of the two cities on the left and right, and then we will turn around and eat the two support armies."
Yu Li nodded, "General Guan is smart, that's the idea below." ”
"The military advisor said that Yu just followed the owner and the military advisor for a long time and learned a little bit of fur."
At this time, Yu Li was still worried and asked again: "Do Yide and Zijin understand?" If in doubt, I can say it again. ”
