, take the sheep with ease, and after attacking the Bohai Sea, take down Anping and Hejian. By then, Wei County will be isolated and helpless, and things will naturally fall into place."

"Okay!" Yuan Shao suddenly shook his head.

"It is indeed a pertinent strategy." Feng Ji also sighed. "Since we are defeated here, Han Wenjie's heart-attack strategy over there may not be effective. Instead of doing this, it is better to mobilize the troops back for the time being."

"But in this case, we must prevent Yecheng from jumping over the wall to capture Anping. So what if Han Jizhou was so angry and powerless that he surrendered General Wei?" Chen Gong suddenly interrupted and raised a possibility.

"Then let Xin Zhongzhi and Guo Gongze work hard and continue to stay where they are, monitor and win over." Yuan Shao replied with narrowed eyes. "If there is any emergency, they will send out surprise troops to attack Yecheng...it will bloom both internally and externally!"

"That's all it can do." Chen Gong thought for a moment and sighed.

"In that case, the matter is settled." Yuan Shao immediately nodded. "Go to Jieqiao to summon the troops back, and then send a letter to Xin Zhongzhi and the others... Please teach me again. Before the Jieqiao reinforcements return,

How should we guard against Gongsun Zan's sudden attack in the next few days?"

"The morale of our army has been reduced, and the thieves have the advantage of riding suddenly in Youzhou, so we must be on guard." Chen Gong had already thought about it, and he was condescending on the general stage, giving instructions from left to right. "Subordinates.

I thought that the main camp should be renovated immediately to avoid the battle. At the same time, the small camps on the left and right were abandoned, and the rear camp was also removed. The demolished materials could just be used to repair the main camp. By then, only two camps, one large and one small, would be left as the horns.

...Then the small camp will be led by General Ju as the chief general, leading five thousand troops; the central camp will leave ten thousand people and some auxiliary troops, led by the lord himself, with General Zhang Jaw as the deputy general; the rest of the wounded, new soldiers, and those who need to be recuperated

Cui and Gao should all be sent to the city to avoid the war!"

"It's also a pertinent idea." Yuan Shao nodded immediately. "I saw clearly the defeat last night. If the two veteran generals Ju and Zhang led the elite troops to guard the camp, the cavalry would not be able to easily break the stronghold. Instead, the new soldiers from the left and right camps would be replaced.

It will... affect the overall situation."

When Yuan Benchu ​​finished speaking, he paused for a moment, but everyone knew it well, but they remembered Cui Juye again and his miraculous prophecy that he would conquer the plains within ten days, and their faces were expressionless.

By the way, Cui Zhong and Cui Juye were so handsome last night that even people like Ju Yi and Zhang Jia were amazed, but in the end, his true colors were revealed in the first battle... This true color was not revealed in comparison with Zhang Jia and others, after all, he was a new recruit and a new general.

Well, compared to his brother Cui Yan, who was also a scholar leading the new troops and suffered a similar defeat, but Cui Yan's cautious defense in the early stage and his courage in the later stage to send troops to intercept with Gao Lan are absolutely convincing.

But what about Cui Juye? Now everyone has already learned from the defeated soldiers that this guy did not dare to leave the camp until he was killed by Gongsun Zan last night?!

Of course, Cui Juye is a disgrace, but his deeds have also been brought to Yuan Shao after all, and from last night to now, the staff and officers in the tent are still very convinced of Yuan Shao's courage... I really can't lose the battle.

Lose someone!

In this case, everyone will naturally ignore Cui Juye, the clown, and his jokes about stargazing, such as knowing that the plain will be conquered within ten days.

Death is the most important thing!

"It is no longer realistic to capture the plains within ten days." Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao did not mean to avoid it. "I didn't know a true hero before, but if you can get rid of your grudges with me and work together, we can still do it.

Grasp the overall situation, continue to maintain control, and then seize the plain..."

Everyone on the general stage became more and more respectful, with Chen Gong taking the lead and saluting one after another.

However, before everyone could stand up, and before Yuan Shao could continue to say anything, a feathered tiger guard suddenly came in a hurry, holding a letter in his hand and delivering it, saying that it had just been sent by the messenger from Pingyuan.

Yuan Benchu ​​suppressed his anger and snatched the letter. He only glanced at the word "Gongsun" on the cover and angrily gritted his teeth and tore open the envelope... Then he was shocked on the spot.

"Ming Gong?" Chen Gong asked curiously. "Did Gongsun Bogui say anything provocative?"

"It's not Gongsun Bogui, but maybe." Yuan Shao handed the letter in his hand to Chen Gong in confusion, and then hesitated. "Is Gongsun Bogui playing tricks on me? Do you think I will fall for this rough trick?"

Everyone was confused about what he meant. Chen Gong glanced at it briefly, and his face became hesitant. He was speechless for a moment, but handed the letter to Xu You beside him.

Xu Ziyuan only glanced at it. He was also lost at first, but then suddenly realized, and he was the first to react: "There is no need to doubt this at first! This is not Gongsun Zan playing tricks on you, I really believe it without a doubt!"

Yuan Shao sneered: "It's so ridiculous, how can you believe it? Could it be that Cui Juye has manifested his spirit?"

"This has nothing to do with stargazing, but the tributaries converging into the river!" Xu You stamped his feet repeatedly, eager to stop. "These two people seem to be Gongsun's tributaries, but they are also your natural tributaries. It's okay if Gongsun is here.

How can Gongsun Zan compete with you for this? For example, General Zhang Jaw, although he is an old member of Wenqi, but when big things happen, he stands between you and Han Wenjie. If you don't follow, who else can you follow?! Send troops quickly, don't make mistakes

It’s a big deal!”

He opened his jaw inexplicably, but Yuan Shao was startled and doubtful, and then finally turned his curious eyes to Zhang.

Zhang became more and more confused, but still held his hands in front of him: "I'll see you later!"

"If General Wei did not take the third assistant, but took Jizhou..." Yuan Shao asked seriously. "Tell me bluntly, when you were under my command in Hanoi, would you follow me or General Wei?"

He opened his jaw in embarrassment, but he still bowed his head and answered: "I really don't know."

I don’t know, but an explanation has already been given.

"Then I will have a decisive battle with General Wei on the battlefield. Who will I follow?" Yuan Shaofu pressed hard again.

"Master and follower have been decided. The old kindness in the past is just a retreat." He opened his jaw and looked at each other seriously.

"That's it." Yuan Shao laughed with relief. "Just like the elites in Luozhong and Sanfu, if I went to fight with General Wei that day, most of them would be willing to follow me. But since it was General Wei who went to Sanfu, these old friends

We have to meet on the battlefield, this is the reason why it is difficult to separate when we join forces...!"

"The end is here!" Zhang Jia was still confused.

"Lead five thousand troops and go to the plain quickly!" Yuan Shao suddenly became solemn.

Except for Chen Gong who had woken up, Feng Ji who was reading the letter, Yuan Shao, and Xu You, Zhang Jia and the rest of the generals on the stage couldn't help but lose their countenance, and were all confused.

…………

At the same time, Gongsun Zan, who had fought hard all night and spent most of the day across Jiudu and returned to the plains outside the city, also looked at the city with confusion on his face: "Uncle, Ah Du, you two must have the surname Gongsun, why do you have to do it?"

Against me?!"

"Of course I know that my surname is Gongsun." Cui Yan's best friend, a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, the head of the Qinghe branch of the Gongsun clan, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun's distant uncle Gongsun Fang, stood at the head of the plain city and spoke righteously. "If not

So, why did I give up Yuan Shao's invitation and come to see you that day? Is it because you and I share the same surname of Gongsun and thought I could persuade you, a thief of the country, to take the right path? But I have been here for several months and have repeatedly advised you not to rely on your own abilities.

, acted without authorization, but you turned a deaf ear to all of them, and instead intensified and destroyed the system without authorization; I recommended to you many Confucian scholars and talented people from the plains, but you not only did not use them, but also repeatedly insulted them. On the contrary, some merchants and soothsayers were

You reuse me! People like you only have eyes for soldiers, wealth, and territory, but you don’t understand morals and customs, let alone care about people’s hearts... I voted for you that day because I have the same surname, but I turn against you today because I don’t believe in you!"

"Uncle, what you said is good!" before Gongsun Zan from the city could reply, Gongsun Du, who was standing aside with a shield raised, suddenly said, "Brother Bogui, I also want to tell you that you are not only inconsiderate of people's hearts, but also don't be considerate of human power."

!You have been in the plains for more than half a year, and you have made unrestrained expeditions, but you are unwilling to give you rewards and ranks to people other than the Youzhou cavalry... the people of the plains have long been unable to bear it!"

"Shut up with me!" Gongsun Zan was furious. "I believe that Gongsun Fang was stupid in his studies, but how can you have the face to say in front of me that there are moral principles and people in the people?! Liu Xuande had written to me before in Pingyuan.

Xin said, you are a cancer in Pingyuan. I still don’t believe it. After taking Pingyuan, I still entrusted you with a heavy responsibility because of the same surname! I don’t think this is really a mistake for myself! Only you, a local tycoon, can gather people to rebel successfully.

Right? Why use Gongsun Fang, a rotten scholar, as a raft?"

"The matter has come to an end, brother, just say what you say!" Gongsun Du continued to raise his shield and replied. "Everyone in the world can judge for themselves... You only know how to collect and ask for things in the plains, but you have no kindness at all. Is it a lie? Yuan Cheqi is here

Is it true that the administrative leniency in various places in Qingyan is also fake? I abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side with a clear conscience. I only care about you and my brother. Please retreat quickly, otherwise Yuan Cheqi’s troops will arrive at night and you won’t even be able to stand.

The place is gone! Your sworn brother Liu Weitai and the several concubines he keeps here are not important. I will naturally ask Yuan Cheqi to let them go in a few days!"

Gongsun Zan was furious, but looking around, he saw that although there were many cavalry around him, almost all of them were injured and extremely tired. At this time, he was even more dejected. It was impossible to attack such a majestic city with a moat, and he became increasingly helpless.

"Lord, go back to the Bohai Sea!" Guan Jing reluctantly advised. "If Yuan Benchu ​​is really brave and sends an army to come at night, we will really be at a loss...the soldiers are even empty of arrows, let alone no food.

Without water, everyone will be injured."

"Bogui, go back to Youzhou!" Tian Kai held the reins of his horse and sighed, more simply. "It's time for you and me to wake up... In the age of great strife, warriors like you and me, no matter how good at fighting, can't

Compared with people like General Wei and General Chariot."

Gongsun was frightened, and he lowered his head in silence for a long time. Finally, he pointed at the city and sneered: "Gongsun Du... It's easy for you to betray me today and join Yuan Benchu. I want to see how Gongsun Wenqi can tolerate someone like you in the future?"

!I’m afraid I don’t want you to be stripped and immersed in the sea!”

After saying this, they didn't even look at Gongsun Du's pale face in the city, but just led the troops northward.

"Good nephew, don't worry too much." Gongsun Fang watched the army from the city turn back to the north, and he also comforted his nephew from the neighboring county in a serious manner. "Those who have gained the virtue will get more help, but those who have lost the virtue will have little help. Gongsun Zan himself lost his virtue in the plains, and Yuan Che

The corporal with courtesy and courtesy, the people's hearts are attached to him, and what happened today, what does it have to do with General Wei? This world is reasonable after all."

Gongsun Du was speechless and could only laugh: "Yes, what uncle said is absolutely true. This world is reasonable."

I am the dividing line that is speechless

"Zan was a man of good looks, loud voice, and wise in speaking. He mocked Yue: 'My voice is soft and amiable, and I can hear it sincerely, but my voice is so small that I can't hear it.' Yue Yue said: 'A ruler and a watch can judge and balance things.'

Measurement, an inch tube can measure the reciprocating Qi. Therefore, it is said, why should the sound be loud, but ask how the words are heard!'" "Shishuo Xinyu". Speech Chapter

ps: Gongsun Fang and Gongsun Du are both real historical figures in the late Han Dynasty. The former was Cui Yan's classmate, close friend, and native of Qinghe; the latter was a subordinate of Yuan Shao. He once harassed Cao Cao in Taishan as a general, but was defeated by Lu Qian.
