Chapter 98: Until Zhuo County?
Just when Gongsun Fan was very worried about Ran Min and their attack on the city, it was Qin Hao who made a surprised voice.
"General, are they retreating?"
Gongsun Fan hurriedly looked at Ran Min and them, and found that they had really retreated, and his face showed joy.
But as Ran Min retreated, Gongsun Fan's brows furrowed, he looked at Qin Hao worriedly, and asked, "Didn't you say they were going to attack the city?" Why did you quit the army before you fought? ”
Qin Hao was also stunned for a moment, looked at Ran Min's position, shook his head, and bowed his hand to Gongsun Fan: "General, no matter what happens to them, as long as we guard Lu County."
Gongsun Fan pretended to groan, nodded, and said, "General Bai, first send some spies to see what their situation is."
General Bai beside Gongsun Fan was originally leading the scout battalion, and when he heard Gongsun Fan's arrangement, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Yes, General."
Qin Hao arranged Gongsun Fan like this, slightly leading, he had been following Gongsun Chan for many years, and he didn't want Gongsun Chan to be defeated by Liu He, so he was willing to help Gongsun Fan.
But if Gongsun Fan dies by himself, Qin Hao is naturally unwilling to follow Gongsun Fan, and in the end, he can only follow the general trend.
After a few hours, the defenders of Lu County all agreed that the greedy wolf army would not come to attack Lu County, and the defenders began to go down to take a rest.
At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses appeared in the distance of the city gate, and the defenders of the city hurriedly re-ascended the city tower again, and all of them were on standby.
Gongsun Fan looked at the rows of archers and a large pile of equipment in Lu County, and his heart was a lot more stable, and he thought: "Even if Liu He's soldiers and horses all come to attack Lu County, as long as they hold on, they may not be able to capture it."
Originally, it was already Qin Hao's time to rest, but when he heard that Yanhou Liu He's army was coming again, he also stopped resting and rushed to the city tower in great strides.
Gongsun Fan originally wanted to call Qin Hao to come, but he didn't feel very good in his heart, after all, his current official position is so low, all because of himself.
But when he saw Qin Hao coming by himself, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at the generals of the Greedy Wolf Army who came below.
The general of the greedy wolf army who came this time was not Ran Min, but Tian Chou, and Wen Zhong had already arranged to pretend to attack Lu County many times.
Just when Gongsun Fan and the others were preparing to fight, Qin Hao frowned, and was surprised to find that the generals who came to attack the city now were not the previous generals who were shocked.
"General, you see, the army that came to attack the city this time is not the same army that came before at all." The hundred generals also found out and shouted in surprise.
"What's wrong with that?" Gongsun Fan heard General Bai's words and asked worriedly.
Qin Hao, who was on the side, said heavily: "General, I'm afraid there are only two possibilities, one is that there are a lot of troops who come to attack the city this time, and they have enough troops to take turns to attack Luxian."
"The second is that they want to keep us on guard all the time, so that our morale is greatly reduced, and there is no time to rest."
After hearing this, Gongsun Fan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked in a panic: "This, what can I do about this?"
Qin Hao was not surprised, and said loudly: "General, no matter what the situation is, as long as we also defend the city in batches, we don't need all the soldiers and horses to come to defend the city, if Liu and them really attack, we will let all the soldiers and horses come, so that they can be relieved of their delaying tactics."
Gongsun Fan nodded, and instructed the generals around him to do what Qin Hao said.
At this time, General Bai raised his own questions and said: "Alas, it wasn't said before that Yanhou Liu He's troops were insufficient, and it was impossible to continue attacking us, but Fanyang County was occupied all of a sudden, causing us to be surrounded."
When Qin Hao heard this, he was immediately shocked, and asked in surprise: "Didn't it mean that after Liu He took Youbei Pingping County, he learned that there were not enough soldiers and horses, and then provoked 100,000 soldiers and horses from Liaodong to come, a total of 200,000 troops, to attack the two counties of Yuyang and Zhuocheng?"
Gongsun Fan and General Bai looked at each other, confusion flashed in their eyes, and finally General Bai said coldly: "Qin Hao, where did this news come from?" Yanhou Liu He only has about 50,000 soldiers and horses in Youbeiping, where did he get 200,000? ”
Qin Hao immediately understood that these were all rumors spread by Liu He, causing the current defenders to worry day and night, and Liu He's 200,000 troops came.
Qin Hao hurriedly explained to Gongsun Fan that it had always been rumored in the army that Liu He had an army of 200,000 and would soon come to attack the city.
When Gongsun Fan heard this, he slapped his hand on the brick on the city tower, and said angrily: "Bastard, I didn't expect Liu He to be like this, you go down quickly and explain to the soldiers that Liu He only has 50,000 soldiers and horses in total, where did he get 200,000."
In the face of Gongsun Fan's anger, the generals were also full of anger, and directly surrendered their hands, turned around and left, and went down to the various departments to explain.
Qin Hao was also relieved, but fortunately, he found out in time and did not wait for Liu He's army to come to attack the city, but Qin Hao couldn't understand why Liu and them did this.
Although it can shake the morale of the defenders of Luxian County, as long as they come to attack the city, there are not so many soldiers and horses, and this rumor is self-defeating.
At this time, Tian Chou retreated with his soldiers and horses, and in Gongsun Fan's angry eyes, he swaggered away, as if he didn't take Gongsun Fan in his eyes at all.
After Tian Chou returned to the barracks, he hurriedly asked Xiang Wenzhong and said, "General, why is this?" Besiege but not attack, even if you want to drag them down and prevent them from resting, but after these two times, they will also defend in batches, and it will not work at all. ”
Wen Zhong smiled and said: "Now the defense of Gongsun Fan and the generals in Lu County, although it cannot be said to be invulnerable, is also quite complete, and the strategy of the Xuanmi Guard's attack on the heart does not need to play any role."
At this time, Ran Min said, "Then why is this general?"
Wen Zhong nodded, motioning to say now, "Everyone, think about it, is it the great credit for the capture of Yuyang, or the great credit for the capture of Zhuocheng?" ”
Ran Min immediately understood, looked at Wen Zhong and said, "Could it be that the general has a way to directly let us attack Zhuocheng directly?"
When Tian Chou heard this, he said: "But if we don't fight Yuyang, we won't be able to go to Zhuocheng at all, so how can we go to Zhuojun."
"Who said that if you don't beat Yuyang, you can't go to Zhuojun." Wen Zhong smiled and looked at the generals and said.
"What?"
When Ran Min, Tian Chou and other generals heard Wen Zhong's words, they were shocked, if they could reach Zhuo County directly, what else would they fight Yuyang, and directly take down Gongsun Zhan, let them watch it for themselves.
Wen Zhong walked to the side of the map, pointed to a small place in Lu County in the map, and said: "Originally, I was ordered by the lord to take Lu County, but not long after I came, I learned from an old hunter that there was a small road outside Lu County, which could directly reach Fanyang County, and it was not far from Zhuocheng."
Tian Chou said in surprise: "In the past, when the lord attacked Xiangping in Liaodong, he also came to Xiangping from a small road, and then he took the entire Liaodong, and now the general is like this, and it will definitely become the first credit to take Youzhou."
Ran Min and many generals were also very surprised when they heard Tian Chou's words, but they didn't expect the lord to win Gongsun Du like this.
Moreover, if it really hits Zhuocheng, this is the first merit to win Youzhou, and Xue Rengui's side may not be able to fight for this first merit.
Wen Zhong's eyes showed a gleam, and he said confidently: "That's why I asked you to go and pretend to attack Lu County, so that they know that our purpose was originally Lu County."
"Then, quickly come to Zhuocheng, attack Gongsun Zhan, and win the first merit."
"The generals listened to the order and immediately led their soldiers and horses to the trail, Ran Min, you take five thousand beggar troops and stay not far from the trail to prevent them from going out of the city to rescue Zhuocheng."
The generals suddenly stood up, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "No!"
Only Ran Min looked reluctant, and he stayed in Lu County, which means that he has no chance to attack Zhuocheng.
