"Uncle, don't worry. As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must give it first. The baggage is just stored with the Yizhou Army first. After our army wins a great victory, there is no need to take it back."
Although Gongsun Ming was young, his mind was not small. He didn't care about the gains and losses of the time and place. Even if the captured soldiers, armor, and grain were in huge quantities, he would give them up without even frowning. one time.
"Forget it, I'll tell you what to do tomorrow."
Although he was still reluctant to give up, but when he thought that the previous victory was entirely the result of his nephew's planning, Gongsun Fan struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed to Gongsun Ming's suggestion...
"Report to the General. The enemy camp in Wen'an County is empty. The whereabouts of the Bohai Navy are unknown. Please make it clear to the General."
At noon, on the road ten miles away from Wen'an County, 50,000 Yuan's troops were marching southward in a mighty manner. A report horse suddenly rushed from the south to the Central Army, and they got off the horse with a crisp roll. , he kneeled on the ground towards Yan Liang, the head coach of the entire army, and said a tight report.
"Huh? Explore again!"
Yan Liang was originally thinking about how to force the Bohai Navy to fight after arriving in Wen'an County in order to defeat its army in one fell swoop. However, he never expected that the Bohai Navy had already escaped before his own army could reach the ground. He frowned involuntarily. He got up, but for a while he couldn't figure out the purpose of Bo Haijun's move, so he could only send the messenger away with a cold command.
"General, don't worry. This must be because the bandit army is afraid of the strength of our army and has fled without fighting. As long as we chase after the general, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy in one battle."
Seeing Yan Liang's solemn expression, Guo Tu, who was standing next to him on horseback, obviously disapproved of it and made a bold statement indifferently.
"Hmph, that's easy to say. I said it a long time ago that we must be careful of the bandit army and rush to Wen'an County as soon as possible. But you insist on recharging your energy in order to defeat the enemy in one battle. Now Well, the bandits have fled and their whereabouts are unknown, and I don’t even know where to go after them!”
As soon as Guo Tu said such harsh words, Shen Pei immediately became angry. He was in no hurry to rush to Wen'an County a few days ago, but Guo Tu wanted to go against him, which led to the current situation. In such a passive situation, Guo Tu dared to boast at this moment, which is how Shen Pei could bear it.
"It's ridiculous. There are tens of thousands of people in the Bohai Navy. There must be traces wherever the army passes. But if we investigate carefully, why worry about not being able to catch the traces of the rebel army? Even if they say their whereabouts are unknown, I really don't know what they mean."
Guo Tu was not a good-tempered master. How could he allow Shen Pei to scold him in person?
"Don't dare to admit that you are wrong is really a cowardly act. When the enemy's situation is unclear, there is no point in pursuing them in tandem. If you are not careful at all, you will be ambushed. If you make a mistake, wouldn't it be a big joke?"
The trial matchmaker was also not someone to be trifled with. When he heard Guo Tu plausibly talking nonsense there, his eyebrows immediately stood up.
"Okay, gentlemen, stop arguing. It's not too late to rush to the enemy camp to find out what's going on before we discuss it. Who's here? Send the order. The whole army should speed up and get to Wen'an County as soon as possible!"
In the past few days, the two counselors have been criticizing each other endlessly, and it is always difficult to agree on their opinions. Yan Liang has had enough of this for a long time, but these two are Yuan Shao's favorites, so they cannot offend easily. Go, in a dilemma, the strategy that Yan Liang can adopt is the same as that of his protagonist Yuan Shao, which is to have no choice but to make a fight.
"Hmph!" "Hey!"
When Yan Liang spoke like this, the two counselors stopped tit-for-tat, but they quickly turned away from each other. One snorted coldly, and the other sneered. When he saw this, Yan Liang couldn't do anything. Maybe he just smiled bitterly...
"Report to the General that a deserter was caught."
Ten miles is not a short journey, especially for Yuan Jun, who is basically an infantry army. Even if he had already advanced by running, it took more than an hour to reach the empty camp abandoned by the Bohai Navy. Facing the mountains of soldiers and armor and food and supplies in the camp, Yan Liang's frowned brows couldn't help but frown even more. He obviously didn't believe that the Bohai Navy would be frightened into leaving such an important thing behind. There must be fraud in the baggage, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. While he was deep in thought, he saw a military prince who had gone out to investigate arrived excitedly, bringing the order. Yan Liang's eyes suddenly lit up. good news.
"Bring it up and go quickly."
Yan Liangben didn't pay much attention to the Bohai Navy, which had weak combat effectiveness. All he was worried about was how to find the whereabouts of the Bohai Navy. When he heard what the military prince said, his spirits suddenly lifted.
"Liang Meng, the commander of Huyi Camp Jiaquyitun, came to see the general!"
Not long after the military commander who came to report the matter left, a soldier wearing Bohai Navy armor was escorted to the central military office. Before the military commander could say anything, he saw that the Bohai Navy soldier had grabbed the He took a few steps forward and bowed to Yan Liangna.
"Huh? You are a member of our Yizhou army. Why did you surrender to the enemy?"
The Tiger Wing Battalion was the Yecheng garrison. It was originally commanded by Gao Lan. Yan Liang himself had led this army. Because of this, Yan Liang looked a little uncomfortable when he heard that the soldier reported his family name. got up.
"The general knows clearly that the villain did not really surrender to the enemy. In fact, he was captured a few days ago due to exhaustion. He had no choice but to temporarily stay in the enemy camp in order to find an opportunity to escape. Last night, the bandit army fled overnight, and the villain found an empty space. Later, hiding in the dark, I finally waited for the arrival of my army."
Seeing that Yan Liang's expression was wrong, Liang Meng didn't dare to hesitate at all. He quickly kowtowed heavily and explained in a trembling voice.
"I see, let me tell you, what does Gongsun Xiaoer want?"
After hearing Liang Meng's explanation, Yan Liang's gloomy expression softened a little, and he did not pursue the crime of surrendering to the enemy anymore, but instead asked about the whereabouts of the Bohai Navy.
"Returning to the general, I accidentally overheard Shangguan's words in the enemy camp, saying that he was going to Lecheng County with light equipment. In addition, it is said that the people of Bohai County have been dispatched in large numbers and are transporting grain to Lecheng. The specific reason is that the villain is in a low position, so I really don’t know anything about it.”
Seeing that Yan Liang no longer pursued his guilt, Liang Meng was obviously relieved, and quickly revealed the information he had found out one by one.
"Lecheng County?"
As soon as Liang Meng said this, Yan Liang's calm expression suddenly turned gloomy again. Of course, Lecheng County is the border county between Bohai County and Yizhou. Gongsun Ming led his troops to Lecheng County. Obviously, he has The plan to send troops to Yizhou, but now, Yizhou is extremely empty. If the Bohai Navy takes advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous...
