"Boom...boom!"

Guandu, the frontline position. Gongsun, the general of Yan Gong who was patrolling here, watched helplessly as three huge rocks flew out from behind the opposite camp, making a weird whistling sound in the middle, and then one of them hit his left front directly.

There is a dirt hill less than thirty steps away.

After it came into contact with the entity, the huge impact carried by this stone directly smashed the corner of the tamped earth mountain, and then actually rolled up countless amounts of soil and rolled down the slope of the earth mountain, causing the officers and soldiers at the foot of the earth mountain to quickly avoid it.

, but the stone passed through a fence with its huge inertia and broke a support of the watchtower.

Gongsun looked at the stone as big as a human head rolling in front of him, without saying a word or showing any unnecessary expression, as if he didn't care. But he didn't care, and the people below him were not like that.

A total of seven or eight vehicles that had been prepared did not dare to neglect, and immediately launched at the command of a young officer in response.

Seven or eight vehicles fired volleys one after another, and dozens of stone bombs flew into the opposite camp one after another. The momentum was amazing... However, except for the initial commotion caused by the first round of volleys, Cao Jun had to go down the mountain and watch the tower.

Outside, there was actually no extra movement on the other side.

After the volley was completed, another officer gave the order and personally led a group of soldiers towards the opposite side. But soon, the mountain on the opposite side, which was originally deserted because of avoiding stone bullets, was filled with crossbowmen on the watchtower.

, there are also countless more soldiers holding long soldiers on the fortification platform above the first line of fence in front.

The Yan army had no choice but to retreat angrily under the orders of a higher-level commander.

Gongsun watched for a while and was speechless for a while. He just asked someone to hold the stone bullets fired by the opponent's car and look at them for a few times. He then walked around the position of his own car with the knife, and then shook his head:

"Who controls this army?"

The young officer who ordered the launch before ran over quickly and bowed his head and said: "The last general, Lu Fu, is the commander of the army here!"

Gongsun was slightly startled when he heard the voice and name, but immediately returned to normal: "Lu Fu, do you know why your car here is several times the size of the other side, but it can't crush the other side?"

The 600-stone chariot commander named Lu Fu was frightened for a moment. He could only bow his head and worship again without daring to say anything.

"Raise your head!" When facing this man, Gongsun seemed impatient and scolded him directly. "How can you be so timid and timid? It was like this when you were a child, it was like this when you were a righteous servant, and it's still like this now when you lead an army alone."

Lu Fu, the eldest son of Yan State Prime Minister Lu Fan, quickly raised his head again.

"Go and look at the enemy's stone bullets, and then look at yours!" Gongsun couldn't help scolding him. "After reading it, tell me what's going on!"

Lu Fu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to check, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Reporting to Duke Yan, the enemy's stone bullets have been polished and can still roll once fired, but the stone bullets fired by the general's subordinate did not

They are just rough stones, useless when they fall to the ground."

"It's not just that!" Gongsun sighed and continued. "The screams of the enemy's stone bullets are too clear. They may not necessarily drill holes in the stone bullets, but there may be one or two specially tied with bamboo tubes.

Things like that... you go and take a look."

Lu Fu suddenly woke up and quickly went to check again. Sure enough, he found traces of crushed bamboo under another stone bullet. This kind of binding was not strong. It would break when it hit the ground and break away from the stone bullet.

You can't tell the beginning or end, but it can be said to be a very effective battlefield trick.

However, just when Lu Fu had finished his investigation and was about to bow down and return to his command, promising improvements. Suddenly, there was another ear-piercing whistle, and he saw three more stone bullets being fired from the Cao Army camp on the opposite side, towards the Yan Army camp.

It flew from everywhere, and the landing point was clear and unmistakable. It was the Yan army's vehicle position.

The soldiers hurriedly got out of the way, but Cao Jun's stone bullets hit the vehicle position one after another, and actually smashed one of the Yan Jun stones under the blind fire with worrying accuracy.

After Cao Jun ended the bombardment, the chariot position was in panic for a while. Faced with this situation, Lu Fu had already been ashamed to the ground.

However, Gongsun narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, but instead of being angry, he smiled: "I don't blame you this time... I didn't expect that Cao Jun actually put wheels on the car! Let me tell you, why did we get up earlier and have more numbers?

, but it has never been enough to suppress the other party."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding staff and Yi Cong officers were divided into two. The older ones were mostly at a loss, but the young people who had received some strange books in Ye were all stunned for a moment.

"Send an order to De Mou and ask him to urge the entire army to immediately rectify the vehicles and install axles." Gongsun immediately ordered. "In the future, the soldiers and their civilian husbands will have a separate meal in the afternoon."

Everyone quickly took orders.

"Have a good time and do it!" Before leaving, Gongsun couldn't hold it back. He held the knife in one hand and slapped Gero Fu on the shoulder with a riding whip. "Don't be anxious or impatient, but you can't be timid and perfunctory... After all, he is not a young man.

Now that you have a child, you have to take care of things."

Lu Fu quickly bowed again.

But when he raised his head, Gongsun had already got on his horse, and with a group of subordinates from the Chinese army, Yi Cong retreated into the wooden fence on the back floor and went to inspect other places.

However, on a front more than ten miles wide, this round of surprise inspections was not yet halfway through. That is to say, two more forward camps had just been inspected. The frontline general Cheng Pu hurriedly led many front camp generals to 'accompany' him.

Okay... This is of course understandable. It seems to happen to anyone who encounters this kind of situation, especially when the problem with the wheels is discovered by the coach on the spot.

"Your Highness..." When Gongsun stopped on a hill and watched the enemy camp from a distance for a long time, Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Actually, the company's strategy..."

"Actually, there are good and bad strategies for the company camp." After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Gongsun finally sat down on the highest pile of earth on his side, but still looked at Cao Ying. "The advantage is that we are not afraid of making mistakes. We

From the stalemate in May to September, in four months, there were constant exchanges from Lizha to Tushan, from Tushan to the tunnel, and from the tunnel to Qi. The frontline camp also changed hands, but it was still difficult to determine the overall situation; as for the disadvantages,

It’s just that the camp is too thick and the entire Guandu is so densely packed that it’s impossible to see the enemy’s movements..."

Cheng Pu started to speak but stopped.

"Don't think too much." Gongsun finally glanced at the other party with a smile. "This posture of stability is what I specifically asked you to do during the Yellow Turban chaos. And that day, I chose you as the general of Guandu and used your company strategy.

It was because I was so distressed during that battle that I deliberately wanted to seek stability... Now that things have happened, how can I blame you?"

Cheng Pu felt relieved, but he was confused for a moment: "But if you are not dissatisfied with the progress of the war, why did your highness come here specifically today?"

Of course, Gongsun had no intention of covering up Cheng Pu and immediately nodded.

After receiving the signal, Jia Xu, who was standing by, said bluntly: "General Zhennan doesn't know something. Your Highness is really just here to see what's going on in the enemy camp, and he's just on the way for inspection... This morning, there was a message from Shen Qingzhou.

Confidential emergency report, it is said that General Guan may have captured Xiapi in a surprise attack a few days ago."

This news had just reached Guandu, so the reaction of the staff, Yi Cong, and officers at Tushan was similar. Zhennan General Cheng Pu was also stunned.

However, this kind of confusion is not a simple shock, but mixed with doubts, absurdity and incomprehension, and even a feeling of being confused by the words.

Because there are too many flaws in this statement.

First of all, Shenpei is the highest-ranking official in Hebei, and Guan Yu is also the highest-ranking general in Hebei. After the two were paired together, they actually took full military and political power in Qingzhou and the Eastern Front. As a result, Shenpei sent the top military report about Guan Yu from Qingzhou, but

It's 'a few days ago', 'possible', 'already', etc. It's simply unbelievable... This kind of military report, and it is a military report related to the overall situation of the entire Eastern Front, does not contain any certain content?

In addition, of course, there is the shocking feeling brought by the word Xiapi.

In fact, the reason why many people are confused is that it is difficult to connect Guan Yu and Xiapi, who have been confronting Xiahou in the east of Yanzhou... Isn't Xiapi the opponent's rear area?

"How do you say it specifically?" Cheng Pu was confused for a moment and immediately asked. "Since the matter was settled a few days ago, I would like to ask Master Jia Jun to explain it in detail."

"That's it." Jia Xu said calmly. "The information about Shen Zhengnan actually came from Guo Fengxiao, and Guo Fengxiao was at Langya to appease and frighten Zang Ba and the Langya generals... But in early September, Shen Zheng

Nan suddenly received an urgent military letter from Guo Fengxiao, signed at the end of August. The letter said that Xuzhou Zhou Yu seemed to have a huge plan in Langya and the East China Sea. Although he didn't know what the other party's plan was, Guo Fengxiao was ready to use it.

Driving the Langya troops southward, he used the Langya generals as bait to lure Zhou Yu to concentrate his troops in the north of Xuzhou, and then took the opportunity to let General Guan sneak attack the empty Xiapi along the west bank of Yishui River! Guo Fengxiao sent two letters at the same time, one

To the south of Shen Zheng, ask him to go south to Langya's key points to make preparations; naturally, the letter is to the east of Guan Town, asking General Guan Yunchang to sneak up and attack immediately..."

Everyone below Cheng Pu suddenly realized, no wonder what Jia Xu said just now was so weird. The relationship thing was just a paper plan by Guo Jia alone, and the reviewer just handed it over with a second-hand military plan, but something happened again.

The stakes are too high to not inform Guandu authorities in advance.

However, let alone the final success rate of this plan, I am afraid it is hard to say whether Guan Yu and Zang Ba can succeed in Guan Yu’s strategy...

"At this time..." Cheng Demou asked seriously. "Does Military Advisor Jia think that General Guan will listen to Deputy Envoy Guo's suggestion and risk going south so rashly?"

"I think so!" Gongsun, who had been building a pergola to look at the situation in Cao's camp across the way, spoke again, but he still showed no sign of joy or anger. "Because before Fengxiao left, I was worried about his relationship with Yunchang and Zheng.

He was afraid of doing anything in front of Nan, so he wrote several folders of important figures on the Eastern Front for him. Some were for Yun Chang, some for Zheng Nan, some for Zang Xuangao, and some for Chen Yuanlong and his son.

Fengxiao means to boldly carry out whatever plans he has...and if Yunchang and Zang Xuangao see my handwriting, I'm afraid they will have no reason not to follow Fengxiao's words."

"Then..." Cheng Pu was horrified for a moment. "Guan Zhendong really went to Xiapi himself? I don't know whether he succeeded or not?"

People below him and above the mountains were also talking about it. Everyone was either hopeful or worried.

"It's already mid-September." Gongsun put down his hand and said indifferently. "No matter what the outcome is, it's a foregone conclusion... That's why I came to see what's going on in Cao's camp!"

Cheng Pu was still a little confused, as if he didn't understand the relationship between Xiapi and Gongsun who had to come to see Cao Ying this time. However, a young Army Sima behind him had suddenly woken up and couldn't help blurting out: "Your Highness is

Let’s see if the Cao thieves are in the opposite camp, and if the enemy camp is empty, can we win in one fell swoop?!”

"Of course!" Gongsun glanced at Fazheng, but he was really not surprised. "But this time, I felt that whether Cao Mengde was there or not, the enemy camp was empty for a while, and it didn't seem to be possible... There were many camps on both sides.

The earth and mountains are fortified into mountains, and even if we temporarily mobilize some troops, we will not be able to seize the opportunity to win quickly."

From Cheng Pu down, Fazheng and others also calmed down for a while.

"Forget it!" Gongsun Fu sat for a while, still unable to tell the reality of the camp opposite, and finally decided to get up and return to the camp. "There will be news within three to five days, and it will not be too late to make a decision by then."

Everyone was speechless.

However, at this moment, someone suddenly asked to see him at the foot of Tushan Mountain, and it was Lu Fu.

Gongsun was surprised, but he was soon laughed out of anger... Of course, he was not laughed at by Lu Fu, but by Cao Cao, who directly tied a document to the stone bullet and sent it in a car

Came over.

The content of the document is very simple and very Cao Cao.

"... After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather is getting colder and the autumn wind is starting to pick up. I see Wenqi sitting on a mountain in the distance and rustling, looking south unmoved. Brother Yu knows what his brother is thinking..." Lu Fu couldn't help but steal a glance at Gongsun as he read.

"We belong to the enemy's country, and we are fighting with swords and soldiers. We should not have any kindness or kindness. However, we can't bear to be friends with each other, so we tell you clearly... I heard that Guan Yunchang wanted to go to Xiapi. Xuande has come to welcome him from Runan. My younger brother will return.

Camp soup..."

"Mengde asked me to go back to the camp to drink soup, what do you think?" Gongsun sneered and took away the fresh letter covered with dirt.

"The situation in Xiapi is still between two sides..." Jia Xu replied seriously. "But Cao Mengde probably didn't leave."
To be continued...
