The yen and the others were discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army, and a sergeant ran in to report: "Young General Yu, there are more than ten horsemen outside the door, claiming to be the messenger of the Taishou Gongsun Ruyun of Liaoxi." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Yan Yi heard this, he said suspiciously: "Liaoxi is east of Yuyang, and now that Zhang Ju supports Yuyang, the road is cut off, how can the messenger of Gongsun Zhuyun come here?"

Yuan Qi nodded slightly, if you want to say that Gongsun Ruyun's subordinates have the ability to kill all the way from Liaoxi, I'm afraid that only the two brothers Guan Wei and Zhang Wu under Taishan are the two brothers. But at present, Zhang Ju's rebel army has divided into a group to besiege Liaoxi, and Gongsun Ruyun is still too busy to take care of himself, and he will definitely not send these three brothers out. Frowning, Yuan Qi asked the sergeant who reported the news, "What is the appearance of the person who came?"

The sergeant replied, "The leader is dark-faced, with a leopard's head and eyes, and he is very vicious. ”

Yuan Qi stood up abruptly and said in surprise: "Could it be Zhang Wu? Why did he come alone? What about Taishan and Guan Wei?"

In the face of Yuan Qi's series of questions, everyone present was also full of doubts, and no one could say the answer.

"Forget it, just go out and see. After Yuan Qi finished speaking, he took the lead in getting up and walking outside the camp gate. After Yuan Ying pulled out the poison, although he was out of danger of life, his body was very weak, and he still needed to recuperate for a period of time to fully recover. Therefore, in recent days, all affairs in the army have been decided by Yuan Qi. Not only because he is the son of Yuan Ying, but more importantly, Yuan Qi's status can convince others.

Seeing Yuan Qi get up and walk out, the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to slack off, and stood up one after another and followed Yuan Qi and walked out together.

Outside the camp gate, Yuan Qi saw more than a dozen knights standing in place, led by a dark and burly strong man, who was looking around impatiently, Yuan Qi took a closer look, it was not Zhang Wu, who was it?

"General Zhang, why are you here. Yuan Qi said happily to Zhang Wu. Yuan Qi liked this fierce Zhang Wu very much in his previous life, although it is undeniable that there are indeed flaws in Zhang Wu's character, but no one is perfect.

Seeing Yuan Qi coming out of the camp gate, Zhang Wu turned over and fell off his horse, opened his bloody mouth and said angrily: "Hey, Yuan Qi, this matter is a long story, let me ask you first, do you have a burning knife in your hand now? No, two altars, I'm about to suffocate these days. ”

Yuan Qi stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Wupu's big palm, and said with a smile: "Yes! You can drink as many jars as you want! ”

When the group came to the big tent, Yuan Qi asked the sergeant to bring two jars of burning knives and wine up, and gave Zhang Wu a drink. Needless to say, Yuan Qi can also guess that Zhang Wu must have no time to drink to satisfy his hunger all the way, and now that he has come to his own place, he will not be busy talking about other things first, even if he wants to ask, I am afraid that Zhang Wu will not say it first, so he will simply let Zhang Wu drink enough first.

Yuan Qi guessed correctly, Zhang Wuer didn't say a word, picked up a jar of burning knives and drank wine for a while, as if he was not drinking high spirits at all, but boiled water. The wine in the jar poured out, most of it went into Zhang Wu's big mouth, and a small part overflowed, wetting Zhang Wu's beard and collar.

In an instant, Zhang Wu drank one jar of wine, then reached out and grabbed the second jar of spirits, patted off the mud seal, and continued to drink. It wasn't until he drank up the second jar of spirits that Zhang Wu put down the jar in his hand, patted his belly and burped loudly, shouting: "Happy!

Yuan Qi looked at Zhang Wu with a smile and said, "Zhang Wu, I have drunk the wine, you should tell me why you came alone? ”

After Yuan Qi's reminder, Zhang Wucai remembered the purpose of his visit this time, and hurriedly told the situation in Liaoxi.

Liaoxi is a big county in Youzhou, and it is also next to Yuyang, so after Zhang Ju claimed to be the Son of Heaven, he set his sights on Liaoxi. Zhang Ju sent his general Wei Yu to lead 60,000 rebel troops, taking advantage of the night to encircle the county of Liaoxi as if surrounded by iron buckets, that night in fact, Gongsun Ruyun already felt that things were not good, and wanted to take advantage of the rebels' unstable foothold to sneak attack the enemy, but was stopped by Taishan, Taishan advocated waiting until dawn to see the situation clearly in deciding to stop. However, after dawn, Gongsun Ruyun was a little dumbfounded, Wei You had already completed the siege of Feiru, and completely trapped Gongsun Ruyun and others in the city.

You must know that most of the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Ruyun have made an elite cavalry in recent years, known as the White Horse Righteous Servant, these knights are the elite of one in a hundred, and the riding and archery kung fu can be called superior. Moreover, Gongsun Ruyun also spent a lot of thought to equip all the six thousand white horses under his command with white war horses, which looked very stylish.

Who knew that Wei You, a little-known person, actually saw through the life gate of Gongsun Ruyun at a glance, and when besieging the city, it was almost under the city wall, and the former barracks gate of the rebels was less than fifty steps away from the fat city wall. In this way, Gongsun Izuyun's proud white horse Yicong and the cavalry have no room to play a role, and they don't even have enough distance to sprint, so how can they chisel through?

Gongsun Ruyun only stationed 20,000 troops in Feiru City, in addition to 6,000 white horse righteous servants, there were 10,000 cavalry, and only 4,000 infantry. Relying on these 4,000 infantry troops to defend the city is obviously unrealistic. Gongsun Ruyun had no choice but to let all the cavalry except for Bai Ma Yicong get off their horses and walk on the city wall to act as infantry.

As a result, the two battles were defeated, and a small half of the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Ruyun were killed, which made Gongsun Ruyun very distressed. You must know that the cost of a cavalryman is more than five times that of an infantryman. At this time, Taishan came up with an idea, that is, to ask for help, and after discussing with Gongsun Ruyun, the two finally decided to send Zhang Wu out to Liaodong, which is the closest to Liaoxi, for help.

That night, Zhang Wu took 500 cavalry under the command of Gongsun Ruyun, and after a full meal, he took advantage of the cover of night to kill out of the city, but was besieged by Wei You, that is, Zhang Wu bravely crowned the three armies, relying on his own courage to barely get out of the siege, and the five hundred elite cavalry brought out of the city lost more than half of them in this battle.

Zhang Wu took the remaining more than 200 cavalry to Liaodong by way, just walked not far away, and encountered a team of men and horses blocking the road, Zhang Wu was furious and did not answer, and the leader of the general with two guns fought, the two fought for 50 rounds, failed to distinguish the winner. At this time, the general with two guns opened his mouth to persuade Zhang Wu to surrender, asking Zhang Wu to abandon the secret and surrender to the light, and stop helping Zhang Ju to make trouble. Zhang Wu felt that something was a little strange at this time, and after asking, he learned that this general was Gan Jing, the governor of the navy under Yuan Qi.

When he was in Nanyang and north to quell the rebellion, Gan Jing took more than 800 elites of the Qilin battalion and 2,000 sailors by water, and after more than ten days, he arrived in Liaodong. Gan Jing originally wanted to find Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaodong, to jointly send troops and go straight to the Yuyang battlefield, but after Gongsun Du saw Gan Jing, he talked about him left and right, delaying time and refusing to send troops.

Gan Jing saw Gongsun Du's selfishness, and he didn't hope with him, so he took his subordinates 3,000 sailors to abandon the ship and landed, exchanged the boat for the equivalent war horses and grain to Gongsun Du, and then went straight to Yuyang to kill, who expected to meet Zhang Wu halfway, and the two fought inexplicably.

Zhang Wu learned from Gan Jing that Gongsun Du was unwilling to send troops, and he was worried about the safety of Mount Tai and Guan Wei, so he was about to turn back to Feiru, but was dissuaded by Gan Jing, Gan Jing asked Zhang Wu to come to the camp of Jijun for help, and he himself took his subordinates with 3,000 sailors to harass Wei You on the periphery of Feiru, so that Wei You could not attack Feiru with all his strength.

In this way, Zhang Wu led more than 200 cavalry all the way to the camp, encountered several rebels along the way, and after several battles, more than 200 cavalry now only a dozen people followed Zhang Wu to the camp. The rest had already been killed in the halfway battle.

This is the whole process of Zhang Wu coming alone, of course, a person as reckless as Zhang Wu will definitely not describe the matter in such detail, but just tell a rough idea, and the details of the things are all inferred by Yuan Qi according to Zhang Wu's narrative.

After listening to Zhang Wu's narration, Yuan Qi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and now there are two problems waiting for Yuan Qi to solve. First, Gongsun Ruyun was surrounded in Feiru, and the day was precarious, so he must send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. Liaoxi is the throat of the eastern part of Youzhou, and getting Liaoxi is equivalent to curbing the throat of the eastern part of Youzhou, and Yuan Qi never wants to see Liaoxi fall into the hands of Zhang Ju; second, Liaodong is too selfish to guard Gongsun Du, which is a potential danger, and now he is still barely neutral, and no one is willing to help, maybe once Liaoxi is lost, he will turn to Zhang Ju's side, and at the moment, he must appease Gongsun Du.

Knocking lightly on the table, Yuan Qi frowned and thought for a while, then looked around at the people in the big tent, including Zhang Wu, and said: "The current situation is a little bad, what should we do?" This is Yuan Qi's consistent style, every time he encounters something important, even if he already has a case in his heart, he must ask for the opinion of Wen Wu.

Zhang Wu, who was in a hurry, immediately said in a rough voice: "What else is there to discuss, just lead the troops to fight over." ”

Yuan Qi smiled and waved his hand, signaling Zhang Wu to be calm for a while, and then turned his gaze to Jia Yuan and Xu Shu, discussing strategy, no one in the big tent was the opponent of the two of them.

Seeing Yuan Qi's gaze looking at him, Jia Yuan shrank his neck, and wanted to ignore Yuan Qi, but after all, he still couldn't pull his face, so he stretched out his hands that had been hidden in his sleeves, bent down to Yuan Qi and said: "Lord, Liaoxi is the throat road, so Fei Ru must not be saved; ”

Yuan Qiqi nodded in agreement, and the poison Jia Yuan was really shrewd and wise, and he saw through the problem at a glance, and it was exactly the same as the situation analyzed in his heart.

Xu Shu stood up and said: "Lord, since I joined the command, I haven't made an inch, and my heart is uneasy. What Mr. Jia Yuan said is exactly what Shu thinks in his heart. Shu was willing to rush to Liaodong, and while appeasing Gongsun Du, he tried to persuade him to send troops to rescue Liaoxi. ”

Yuan Qi pondered for a long time, and said with some hesitation: "Yuan Zhi is the right-hand man of XX, how can XX make you take a risk." ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he immediately picked up his robe and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "My lord, my husband was born in the world, and he should have made great contributions, please allow my lord to rush to Liaodong!"

Yuan Qi sighed, looked around, and found that there was indeed no more suitable candidate than Xu Shu. Jia Yuan was originally a good candidate, he was good at perceiving people's hearts, and he could better convince Gongsun Du, but now that the war is imminent, there must be a strategist by his side to fill in the gaps.

ruthless, Yuan Qi said to Xu Shu: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Yuan Zhi." Where is Wei Yan?"

Hearing Yuan Qi's name, Wei Yan quickly stepped forward and took two steps, and replied loudly: "The last general!"

"With you, lead five hundred elite horsemen to escort Yuan Zhi to Liaodong. If anything happens during this period, you and Yuan Zhi can decide for yourself after discussing it!"

Wei Yan's face showed a happy color, don't look at this mission is just to lobby, but Wei Yan, who has a military vision, knows that the result of this lobbying will directly affect the direction of the war. Yuan Qi handed over such an important matter to himself, and gave himself the power to make his own decisions, which shows that Yuan Qi trusts himself very much. Bowing to Yuan Qi, Wei Yan said loudly: "No!"
