Chapter Seventy-Eight: To Each His Own Heart

At this time, Gongsun Chan still had three county towns in his hands, Chicheng, Hengchang, and Huaimin, among which Chicheng was the most important, at the throat of the Yanshan Mountain Range.

This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the county seat is built on a low mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the front of the city is the only big road into the mountain.

He also reflected on his previous failures, but they were not successful.

Because he blamed most of the problems on traitors and logistics.

This time, he confidently gathered all the troops in the rear, a total of 13,000 people, and this time he learned his lesson and handed over the burden of transporting grain to his uncle Sun Qi.

After all, my family is more trustworthy.

The spies in front came to report that the county order of Juyongcheng was still Tian Yu, and Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, Tian Yu was his old subordinate.

Thinking of Tian Yu, Gongsun Zhan still had a trace of apology in his heart, and he confidently believed that Tian Yu had to descend to Sun Ming.

As long as he writes a letter himself, it is not easy to secretly ask him to dedicate the city.

As everyone knows, Gongsun Zhan's letter has just arrived in Tian Yu's hands, and after reading the letter, he feels that this is a good opportunity to completely annihilate Gongsun Zhan.

Then he found a casual excuse to excuse himself, and asked the messenger to come back in two days.

turned his head and forwarded the letter to Yu Li, who was frustrated, and also attached a private letter of his own, in which he offered a plan to 'invite you into the urn'.

His plan was to first pretend to promise Gongsun Chan to dedicate the city, and then deceive his army into the city and exterminate it.

This plan is simple to say, but difficult to say, difficult to say, difficult is how to avoid the ears and eyes from the frustrated yang side and send troops to support Juyong.

He is now more than 5,000 soldiers, and if he does not send troops, he may be difficult to complete on his own.

Here I have to mention the change in Tian Yu's heart, in the hands of Gongsun Zan before, he didn't listen to everything, as a commander, he didn't do business all day long, he liked to go to the battlefield to fight, he was extremely disappointed.

Since he took refuge in Sun Ming, most of the strategies he proposed to benefit the people Sun Ming have accepted and implemented, and if there are problems, they can negotiate and solve them together, and the most important thing is to delegate power to him to express full trust.

In such a comparison, even the diehards who are deeply influenced by Confucianism know how to choose, after all, their big goal is to be a good official for the benefit of the people.

After Yu Li received the letter, he did not reply immediately, because he considered another possibility, that is, Tian Yuzhen rebelled.

With Liu Bei's experience, Yu Li became cautious, and when he was uncertain, he remembered Huo Puppet.

Huo Duo has followed Sun Ming from the beginning, and has been managing the tenant farmer camp in his hometown in Zhuoxian County, and thousands of people operate in an orderly manner in his hands, and his internal affairs ability is also extremely strong.

It can be said that Sun Ming's army has been able to worry about logistics and supply in the past two years, and Huo Duo has contributed a lot, and Yu Li also admires him a lot.

He took a few of his own soldiers and rode straight to the county office.

Yu Li hurriedly came to Huo Puppet, "Wenxin, the military situation is urgent, you listen to me first." ”

briefly explained the situation, and handed him the letter.

After a while, Huo Duo read the letter, refolded the letter, and returned it to Yu Li.

"The letter has been read, I don't know if the military advisor has any questions?"

"Wenxin, do you say that Tian Yu is true or false? I was a little undecided, and the messenger was still waiting in the barracks to reply. ”

Huo Puppet pondered for a while and said, "I have been following the owner for two years, and what I admire the most is the owner's wisdom. ”

"In my opinion, since the owner believes in him, the military advisor doesn't need to worry."

When Yu Li heard this, he suddenly realized that he bowed to Huo Puppet.

"Listen to your words, let the limao stop, stay soon today, and ask Wenxin to drink another day."

After that, he hurriedly rode back to the barracks, and Yu Li, who returned to the barracks, immediately wrote a reply.

"Salute the great loyalty and righteousness of the Tianxian Order, and I am glad to receive the letter."

"When Gongsun Chan heard that the lord was not there, he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't want him to lose the hearts of the people and the army, so he was a dead tree."

"Tian County's plan is very good, and by surprise, I asked Guan, Zhang, and Zhao to lead 10,000 people to support Juyong, and they can arrive in three days."

"The sooner the agreed time to dedicate the city, the better, so that it does not have enough time to explore again, if this plan is successful, capture that Gongsun Zhan, Tianxian Ling should be the first credit."

Yu Li then still felt unstable, and after explaining the details to Huo Duo, he asked him to go to Juyong to assist Tian Yu first, and he had to stay in Fuyang to guard the overall situation.

Huo Puppet rode a fast horse to Juyong on the same day, and after discussing with Tian Yu, he decided to 'dedicate the city' late at night on May 10, that is, five days later.

Guan and Zhang have been training soldiers for many days, eating and living in the barracks, with the order of Yu Li's military division.

The 10,000 soldiers marched that night, out of the night, and lay ambush at night, also to prevent the Gongsun Chan spies from receiving the information.

Because the night march was not easy, the planned arrival on the 8th of May was delayed to the 9th, but fortunately there was still a surprise to arrive.

Ten thousand men entered in groups from different gates, hidden in large houses or temples that had already been prepared.

After a day's rest, the day that Tian Yu agreed with Gongsun Zhan has also arrived, and on this day, even the heavens may know that something big is going to happen.

From noon onward, it was cloudy and drizzled intermittently.

Tian Yu came out of the study from time to time in the county office, looked up at the top, and frowned, afraid that this day would ruin tonight's big event.

Gongsun Zhan's side, after receiving Tian Yu's reply, was also very excited, and he didn't wait for Liu Bei to meet, even if he had to wait, he couldn't wait.

He had already started marching a few days ago, and he had the intention to send a harassing force to attack Fuyang in order to distract Yu Li's attention.

His plan was to take Juyong City first, which could be used as a springboard to rebel against more of his old troops, and he wanted to recapture Shanggu before Sun Ming returned.

Maybe even Gongsun Chan himself didn't notice it, he was already timid in his heart, and he had unconsciously avoided competing with Sun Ming.

From the beginning of the threat to capture Sun Ming alive, to the current situation of taking advantage of the situation, just to regain his own territory.

Gongsun Chan lurked in a hill closest to Juyong, and seeing this bad weather, he also had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he sent his own cadre Wang Men into the city to check the situation with Tian Yu again.

But Gongsun Chan ignored a situation, now he has betrayed his relatives, and the soldiers have their own hearts of rebellion, and the same is true of the royal family.

He didn't think about fulfilling Gongsun Chan's entrustment at all.

As soon as he entered the city, he rushed straight to the county office, and his sudden arrival made Tian Yu and Huo Duo both break out in a cold sweat.

Tian Yu is worthy of being engaged in officialdom for many years, and he is used to seeing big scenes, so he let Huo Puppet hide in the upper room in his backyard.

I tidied up my clothes, adjusted my mood, and walked out of the back door of the main hall.

A man in civilian clothes was standing there, looking around, and Tian Yu stepped forward to salute and introduce the seat.

He said, "Captain Wang, why did you come here at this time?" Is there something important? Where did General Gongsun go? ”

That Wang Men was also accustomed to Tian Yu's impatience, raised his left hand and waved it a few times, stopping Tian Yu's question.

He replied impatiently, "Lord Tian, don't worry, the general has arrived at Pishan outside the city, and sent someone over to confirm the situation. ”

When Tian Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "This official has collected most of the weapons of the defenders this morning, and the establishment has also been disrupted by me, so I am ready to wait for tonight." ”

"Although the current generals have doubts, they are not suspicious, but as soon as today passes, they must send back their weapons, and if it is too late, it will change, and it is not appropriate to change it."

Who knew that Wang Men didn't care very much and said, "If Tian County ordered, the captain of this school will bring it back with the original words." ”

Then Wang Men put his right hand in front of his eyes and rubbed it, with an expression that you understand: "But I have a small private wish for coming this time. ”

"It's very hard for us to march and fight, after this Juyong City was taken over by Sun Thief, whether the money account is more or less is up to the Tian County Order."

"It's not too much, ten gold cakes are enough, this little thing should be able to call the shots, right?"
