"Well……"
It is not a trivial matter for the army to be without food, let alone the Bohai Navy in front of them and the Black Mountain bandits watching behind them. Once the two armies really join forces, it will be difficult for the Jizhou Army to leave. When he thinks of this, Yuan Shao's heart He immediately wanted to leave, but this time he came like a rainbow. If he came back in despair, it was really difficult for him to swallow the bad breath in his chest. For a while, his mind inevitably fell into a trance, and he pondered for a long time. I have never made a decision.
"My lord, I think you must not retreat in a hurry at this time. This is a sign of weakness to the enemy. Once two groups of bandits join forces to pursue us, our army will be in danger. We must kill one group of bandits first before we can leave calmly. Today , since Gongsun Xiaoer is not in the camp, his troops are leaderless, and only Gongsun Fan is left, so there is nothing to worry about. It is a pity that these dogs are afraid and will not fight. Although our army is strong, if we attack his camp head-on, we may be in a hurry and it will be difficult to stop the war. If it is delayed for a long time, it will definitely not be beautiful, so if we attack it at night, we should be able to win a complete victory."
Fengji couldn't see Jushu gaining power, but when he saw Yuan Shao's hesitation, he immediately snatched him out thinking he had a plan, and loudly remonstrated.
"Lord Mingjian, I think what Yuan Tu said is true. If we don't defeat the bandits all the way, our army will definitely be unable to retreat. Compared with the powerful Black Mountain bandits, the Bohai Navy without Gongsun Xiaoer is undoubtedly a lame one. If you can prepare for the lamb properly, it is not difficult to defeat it in one battle."
Shen Pei and Feng Ji have always been one and the same, but now that Feng Ji has made some suggestions, Shen Pei must step up and join in.
"Um……"
Yuan Shao was unwilling to be defeated, but now after hearing the trial and meeting both men who said that night fighting was feasible, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, the stakes were so high that the Jizhou army could not afford to lose. Yuan Shao was really worried for a while. Dare to make a decision easily.
"Lord, our army is large and the enemy's army is small. Even if we attack at night, there is no need for the whole army to go up. There is a strategy that can be used at the same time as the night attack. The main force of our army will retreat south. In this way, the night attack can greatly defeat Gu. This is a happy event, even if the enemy is well prepared, it can also be used as a shield to cover the main force's movement."
Fengji was determined to achieve this feat, but when he saw that Yuan Shao was still undecided, he took a step forward and quickly explained his plan in a nutshell.
"Oh? Wonderful, this is a great plan!"
After hearing Feng Ji's explanation of the best-of-both-worlds strategy, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he held up his hands and cheered loudly. It was obvious that he was ready to do this.
"My lord, you must not underestimate the enemy. I have seen that Gongsun Xiaoer is very deceitful in his military tactics. Since he dares to take Litao City with light troops, he must have a back-up plan. If our army acts rashly, we may be plotted by him again."
Yuan Shao was happy, but Ju Shou was anxious, probably because he didn't believe that Gongsun Ming dared to leave the camp unprepared. If the Jizhou army, which was already injured, was plotted by Gongsun Ming again, it would be terrible. It's really going to shake the foundation.
"snort!"
Although Ju Shou's words were not unreasonable, the last sentence he said hit Yuan Shao's painful foot - what do you mean by "suffering again"? Could it be that he, Yuan Shao, just had a bag of wine and food, over and over again? Are you going to be plotted by a kid with a yellow mouth who just debuted? This was too much and unreasonable. When he thought of this, Yuan Shao's face immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"My lord has learned from this, I think what Lord Ju said is not unreasonable. Even if our army wants to rob the camp, we must be prepared for the rebel army's counterattack. There should be an army stationed in the center to coordinate with everyone. If your lord allows it, I will I will be willing to do this."
Because he maintained a neutral attitude in the battle for the heir, apart from Tian Feng, Jushu had few allies among the civil servants. Both Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's line were extremely dissatisfied with Jushu. At that time, Yuan Shao was angry. At this time, no one was willing to show mercy to him, but Zhang He couldn't bear to look at it. He snatched it out from the side and recommended himself loudly.
"It is undoubtedly good for Jun Yi (Zhang He's nickname) to have this intention, so the matter is settled."
In the battle to conquer Yijing, Zhang He was the first general to enter the city, so he was promoted to the post of Ning Guozhonglang. Although he was a rising star in the army, his ability was highly trusted by Yuan Shao. , now that he was willing to lead his army from the center to provide support, Yuan Shao was not too worried and readily agreed to Zhang He's request...
"I will see Lord Gongsun at the end."
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Not to mention how Yuan Shao and his ministers planned the night attack and the withdrawal of troops, Zhao Yun had just returned to the formation when a messenger came to convey Gongsun Fan's general order, and he immediately Rushing to the watchtower of the front camp to discuss matters, Zhao Yun did not dare to delay, and hurriedly climbed to the top floor. Only then did he realize that apart from Gongsun Fan, there was only Gao Lan in the building. He couldn't help but feel He was stunned for a moment, but without thinking much, he took a few steps and rushed forward, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zilong. I should have let Zilong take a rest first. But before he left tomorrow, I told him that if Zilong and the enemy were not ready to fight and the gong sounded in the enemy camp, he would have to open a bag of tips. , I don’t dare to violate it.”
Because Gongsun Ming had explained it before, Gongsun Fan did not dare to show off to the prefect in front of Zhao Yun, so his words were extremely polite and warm.
"The general will not dare."
Hearing Gongsun Fan's explanation, Zhao Yun's curiosity immediately aroused. However, he was calm by nature. Although he wanted to know what secrets were hidden in the kit, he did not ask questions and just said silently. If he dared, he immediately stepped aside.
"Zilong and Zihuan left a letter in their brocade bag tomorrow, saying: If the fighting stops, they must have succeeded in Litao City. The bandits will withdraw soon and they will attack our army at night. In order to evacuate smoothly, if this is the case, we should set up an ambush in the camp and win another victory. However, in order to prevent the Yuan thief from cheating, we must not leave the camp to pursue him, and just let the Yuan thief go."
Seeing that although Zhao Yun and Gao Lan didn't speak, their faces were full of curiosity, Gongsun Fan didn't say anything more, and quickly took out a small kit from his wide sleeves and used a knife to He opened the stitches on it, took out a small piece of paper from inside, spread it out, and after reading it quickly, he simply stated the contents with a strange look on his face.
"Huh? Since we knew that Yuan Benchu was going to escape, why didn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue him? If so, wouldn't it be a danger to raise a tiger?"
Although Zhao Yun was shocked by Gongsun Ming's intelligence of the enemy, he didn't say much. However, Gao Lan questioned him unconvinced.
"Haha... Ming'er also said in the letter that if this news is announced, Zilong will definitely have no objection, but Zihuan will definitely plan to take full advantage of it. I didn't believe it before, but Zihuan asked like this, Ming'er A true man of God!”
As soon as Gao Lan finished speaking, Gongsun Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He shook his head and said the penultimate line in the letter, which made Gao Lan's black face stunned. Everyone is red...
