"Sir, so-and-so..."
Gongsun Ming did not comment on Gao Lan's gentle words, but the eyes he looked at him became more and more indifferent. After looking at each other for a moment, Gao Lan finally couldn't stand it any longer, and there was a cold sweat on his forehead. The flow started to flow under control, and he moved half a step back helplessly. His mouth twitched as he was about to explain, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. He was really embarrassed.
"Oh, it's rare for Brother Zihuan to open his mouth. Such a favor must be given to someone. It's just that these two people are the vanguards of attacking our Youzhou. They are already guilty of serious crimes, let alone Lu Kuang, who is facing someone head-on. It is an unforgivable crime for me to commit secret attacks during the war. Although I want to surrender now, how can I believe it? Brother Zihuan is willing to guarantee for these two people. Otherwise, I am afraid I will have to let Zihuan Brother is disappointed."
Just when Gao Lan was dying of embarrassment, Gongsun Ming suddenly laughed, waved his hand, and made a prerequisite while talking and laughing calmly.
"Uh, this..."
Gao Lan was a little confused about his own identity. He really didn't know how to protect Er Lu. He fainted on the spot and his eyes were numb.
"Brother Zihuan, help me."
"Brother Zihuan, please save me for the sake of past friendship."
None of the Lu family brothers wanted to die. When they heard that Gongsun Ming had given the choice to Gao Lan, their eyes suddenly became eager. Without any hint from Gongsun Ming, they all begged to Gao Lan.
"Alas! That's all, it was Gao who made the guarantee!"
After all, Gao Lan was a nostalgic person, and he really couldn't stand Er Lu's begging. He stamped his foot bitterly and uttered a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Haha... Okay, since Brother Zihuan said this, then I will spare the lives of these two people, and they will all fall into the hands of Brother Zihuan and obey my orders. As for the bet between a certain person and Brother Zihuan, it will remain the same. If we lose, Brother Zihuan can take away these two people and all the troops he has recruited."
As soon as Gao Lan finished speaking, Gongsun Ming burst into laughter and generously made a promise.
"Thank you, sir."
The more generous Gongsun Ming was, the less he felt in Gao Lan's heart. He always felt that he had jumped into the big hole dug by Gong Sun Ming. However, he could not go back on his word and could only go back on his word. He bowed his head and said thank you.
"Well, Brother Zihuan can go to the prisoner-of-war camp with the brothers of the Lu family to select generals first. Anyone who is willing to obey Brother Zihuan's dispatch will be exempted. All treatment will be in accordance with the rules of our Bohai Navy. You and the other two will be given After an hour, you can just come back here to resume your life."
Gongsun Ming didn't care at all about Gao Lan's worries about gains and losses, nor did he care about the Lucky and fearful expressions on the Lu family brothers' faces when they narrowly escaped death. After explaining a few words in an understatement, he sent the three of them away...
"What? No, no, this must never be done!"
When the enemy was at hand, Gongsun Ming did not dare to waste time. After sending Gao Lan and others away, he quickly sent people to invite Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun. Only then did he retreat from the enemy. After Fang Lue started talking, Gongsun Fan jumped up as if he was being pricked by a needle and couldn't help but scream.
"Uncle, don't be anxious. Please listen to someone's detailed explanation. Although there are nearly ten thousand enemies in Litao County (today's Ningjin County, Hebei Province), we must not have expected that our army would attack more than a hundred miles to the west. Although our troops and horses If you are unprepared, how can you be the enemy of our army? It will not be difficult to defeat you."
Gongsun Ming had obviously expected Gongsun Fanhui's reaction, so he didn't mind and explained with a smile.
"Having said that, after all, this battle is deep behind enemy lines. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if it is necessary, it should not be left to my nephew."
Even though Gongsun Ming had already explained patiently, Gongsun Fan still shook his head vigorously and clearly opposed Gongsun Ming's personal risk.
"If the Second Young Master is trustworthy, I would like to lead his troops to Litao County!"
Although his intention to join Liu Bei remained unchanged, he felt Gongsun Ming's trust in him. Even though he knew that going to Litao County to attack Litao County was a dangerous job with a near-death life, Zhao Yun still stood up and asked for his life.
"Brother Zilong is very righteous, but we can't live without him here. Let's put it this way, if someone's predictions are correct, the Yuan thieves will leave Yijing and come to attack our Bohai Navy at the latest. In case the Yuan thieves are aware of it, our army must not stick to it blindly. If we want to fight, we must have strong generals in charge. Only Brother Zilong can shoulder this responsibility. I also ask Brother Zilong to lend a helping hand."
Litao County is the food and transportation center of the Yizhou Army. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it is also located in the hinterland of Yizhou. If you want to sneak attack Litao County from Wen'an, it is more than a hundred miles away to the west. On the way, they had to pass through the western enemy city. If they missed something, their whereabouts would be exposed. Once the Yizhou Army was alerted, it would be difficult for the Bohai Navy to compete with the Yizhou Army. Because of this, Gongsun Ming did not dare to It is the same to entrust such important tasks to others, even Zhao Yun. Of course, such thoughts are definitely not worthy of outsiders. Faced with Zhao Yun's challenge, he can only change the subject cleverly.
"This...I wonder what the second young master plans to do?"
Although Zhao Yun still had thoughts of defecting to Liu Da'er, he was still serving in the Bohai Navy after all. Out of loyalty, he did not dare to promise easily. After obviously hesitating for a while, he still asked.
"I want Brother Zilong to know that although Wen'an is an important place, there is no danger to defend it. Based on this, it is really difficult for our army to do much. We must withdraw across the Daqing River as soon as possible and set up camps along the bank to lure The Yizhou Army came to attack, so we should buy a few more days. A certain general took advantage of the chaos of the camp move, led two thousand cavalry, changed the banner of the Yizhou Army, and rushed towards Litao County overnight. Lu Xiang accompanied a certain group. , pretending to be a defeat in the previous war, it should not attract attention. When we get to Litao County, we will look for opportunities to move. As long as we can burn down the enemy's food and baggage storage place, the Yizhou army will be in chaos because the food will be exhausted. With our Bohai Navy guarding the river in front of us, and the Black Mountain thieves looking at us behind, the Yuan thieves will not dare to fight again. Retreating is inevitable. At this time, I can calmly prepare and temporarily reconcile with the Yuan thieves. It doesn’t take much time to rest and strengthen. After a few years of rest and recuperation, someone will have a clever plan to revive the prestige of our Youzhou Army. Until then, there is no need to fear Yuan Shao."
The same question was asked by Zhao Yun when he was escaping from Yi Jing. At that time, Gongsun Ming had just traveled through time. Due to his lack of confidence, he obviously made many lies in his response. However, after winning two battles in a row, Gongsun Ming Ming Jiran has completely adapted to this era, and he has already made up his mind. Now he answers Zhao Yun's questions, and while chatting, he seems to be full of scheming and calculating demeanor...
