"Haha... My nephew is truly a hero. He wiped out nearly 100,000 enemies in two battles. A famous general in ancient times could only do this. Okay, okay!"
Although Yan Liang finally escaped, the Bohai Navy successfully recaptured the Wen'an City camp that had been abandoned earlier intact. Not only that, after several battles, nearly three more people were captured. Tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and a large amount of food and supplies were also seized. After hearing the good news, Gongsun Fan Pegasus, who had returned to the rear to coordinate civil affairs, rushed to the Wen'an camp as soon as possible. As soon as they met, he shouted at Gongsun Ming. Zi's fierce praise.
"Uncle, you are overly praised. This is all due to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the three armies. Now, although Yan Liang has been defeated and fled, he is afraid that the main force of Yuan's thieves will arrive in a moment. The situation in Bohai County is particularly difficult to be optimistic."
In just six days, he won two big victories in a row, both of which were such glorious annihilation battles. Normally, he could be proud of himself, but Gongsun Ming's mind was still very clear, and he was not affected by this. Huihuang was blindfolded, probably because he knew very well that the real test was coming.
Yes, although the Yizhou Army was defeated twice in a row and was seriously injured, its main force still numbered 150,000. Counting the defeated troops who fled back one after another, the troops concentrated in Youzhou The strength of the Yizhou Army was probably no less than 180,000. On the other hand, although the Bohai Navy was a victorious army, its own losses were not small, with more than 1,500 killed and 2,000 injured. After counting the soldiers who escaped and escaped, the Bohai Navy, which originally had only about 20,000 soldiers, now has less than 20,000 combatable soldiers. However, Bohai County has a small territory and a small population. The number of soldiers is supplemented. The difficulty is nothing compared to the great cause of Yuan Shao's family, who can recruit tens of thousands more troops at any time. In short, the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak has not been made any easier by two major victories.
"this……"
Gongsun Fan was never a person with strong opinions. When he heard what Gongsun Ming said, he was dumbfounded and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, don't panic. Although the situation is dangerous, it is not unsolvable. The left and right forces are just fighting to force peace. However, with the power of our Bohai Navy alone, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch it. We still need the troops of Commander Zhang Yan of Montenegro. You can do it with all your strength, but my eldest brother is in the Montenegrin Army now, and my nephew..."
In the past few days, although Yi Yi was busy directing the battle, Gongsun Ming did not relax in deducing the overall battle situation. He had already made a calculation in his mind, but there was an obstacle involved, that is How to coordinate with the Black Mountain Army - Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao are mortal enemies. There have been countless fierce battles between the two sides. Because of this, Zhang Yan just mobilized all his troops to rescue Youzhou. Logically speaking, Gongsun Ming If someone is sent to contact Zhang Yan, it should not be difficult to reach a consensus. The problem is that Gongsun Xu, the cheap brother, is currently in the Black Mountain Army. He has always been at odds with his predecessor. In the past, he often used his status as his legitimate son to humiliate Gongsun Xu. That's all. What's more troublesome is that now that Gongsun Zan is dead, the issue of inheritance is undoubtedly a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. It is easy to attract the Montenegrin army, but it is difficult to send the gods away, isn't it?
"Don't worry tomorrow. I'll go to Commander Zhang immediately and form an alliance to fight against the Yuan thieves."
After all, Gongsun Fan is the core figure of the Gongsun family. It is obvious that there are old grudges and knots between Gongsun Ming and Gongsun Xu. Even if Gongsun Ming does not say it explicitly, Gongsun Fan can understand Gongsun Ming's scruples. Gongsun Fan did not hesitate, and took over the liaison responsibility without hesitation, clearly expressing his stance on Gongsun Ming's side.
"Then Uncle Lao, well, let's talk about the alliance first. It won't be too late to wait until the Yuan thieves retreat before slaying the blood. Now, if we want to persuade Zhang Yan to force Yi Jing again, we must not fight in a hurry, in case I fell into Yuan's plot, but Huaneng held a stalemate with the Yizhou army for ten days, so my nephew has the skill to force Yuan to retreat."
Although it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away, the key is to force away the Yizhou army now. As for the issue of sending the gods, we can only prepare for it later. In this regard, with Gongsun Ming's wisdom, he will not There may be confusion about priorities.
"Shan, as an uncle, you can just take care of things."
Although Gongsun Fan didn't have much ability, he had one advantage, that is, he was self-aware. He didn't ask Gongsun Ming in detail about his strategy to defeat the enemy. After agreeing, he went out on his own.
"Come here, go and invite Gao Lan.
In addition, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were brought to wait outside the tent. "
Although it took two days to recapture Wen'an Camp, the real gathering of the entire army only happened this morning. Gongsun Ming was busy arranging and arranging the various ministries. Now that Gongsun Fan has taken over to contact the Black Mountain Army, Gongsun Ming This will free up your hands to arrange the next battle plan. Of course, before that, the bet with Gao Lan still needs to be finalized.
"promise!"
Gongsun Ming gave the order, and the guards accompanying him rushed away. After a while, Gao Lan walked in from outside the tent with an angry look on his face. Gongsun Ming greeted him with a smile. He didn't look good either. Not to mention saluting, he didn't even look at Gongsun Ming and stood in the tent with his neck crooked.
"Brother Zihuan has been wronged these past few days, and it's all someone's fault."
Gongsun Ming didn't care about Gao Lan's rudeness. He stood up with a smile and bowed politely to apologize.
"Hmph, you tricked me!"
Even though Gongsun Ming smiled warmly, Gao Lan didn't give Gongsun Ming a good look and said angrily.
"Oh haha……"
As soon as Gao Lan said this, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made Gao Lan's already dark complexion suddenly darker.
"you……"
In the past two days, Gao Lan became extremely angry when he thought that he had lost to Gongsun Ming in a bet. At this moment, when Gongsun Ming smiled like this, his heart became angry, and his eyes widened and he was about to go crazy. .
"I was rude at some point. Don't blame me, Brother Zihuan. Well, I wonder if Brother Zihuan thinks he can be independent?"
Before Gao Lan could say the curse words, Gongsun Ming bowed again, first apologized, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked a strange question.
As soon as Gongsun Ming asked this question, Gao Lan was stunned on the spot, unable to understand what Gongsun Ming meant by this question.
"Brother Zihuan, please give me your first words."
Gongsun Ming did not explain in words, but bowed again and said something more urgently. Even though this made Monk Gao Lanzhang Er confused and confused, his mouth twitched for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it. It’s ready...
