"If I don't believe it, if I get the letter, I'll see what happens."
No one would like to be seen so clearly, and Gao Lan was no exception. He just thought that Gongsun Fan must be trying to trick him. If he was willing to believe it, he would ask for permission to see it.
"Haha, there is one last sentence in Ming'er's letter. If there is something unclear about Zihuan, Zilong will definitely be able to explain it. If Zihuan doesn't believe it, just read it for yourself."
Even though Gao Lan's attitude was very tyrannical, Gongsun Fan didn't care. He said the last sentence in the letter with a smile, and then handed the note to Gao Lan casually.
"Brother Zilong, since my lord said that my brother can solve my doubts, I should listen attentively."
Gao Lan read the text message over and over again, but still couldn't figure out why he couldn't take advantage of the situation and pursue it. He had no choice but to throw the question to the silent Zhao Yun in embarrassment.
"General Gao, you're welcome. It's not that my lord doesn't want to take this opportunity to defeat Yuan's thieves. He really can't. Not to mention that when Yuan's thieves want to retreat, they will definitely cut off the rear with heavy troops. Our army blindly pursues them, and there is a real risk of being ambushed by them. , Moreover, our army is small, even if the Yuan thieves are destroyed, the one who will benefit may not be our Bohai Navy. In this case, why pursue them to the death, and just send Yuan thieves away."
Zhao Yun was thoughtful, and he really saw the reason why he shouldn't kill Yuan Shao too badly. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he only had a casual conversation, but never mentioned the subsequent fight for the dominance of Youzhou. , the brothers Gongsun Ming and Gongsun Xu may still have a fight.
"I see, I have been taught a lesson!"
Gao Lan was completely convinced this time, and he was determined to surrender to Gongsun Ming.
"Two generals, since the bandit army is about to attack tonight, our army must not be careless. We also ask the two generals to take more care."
Although Gongsun Fan's talents were only average, his ability to observe facial expressions was not bad. At this moment, when Zhao and Gao heard both Zhao and Gao calling Gongsun Ming their lord, they immediately knew that these two people were truly devoted to Gongsun. Understandably, I was very happy for Gongsun Ming in my heart, but he did not say anything about it, but immediately turned the topic of discussion to tonight's war arrangements...
At three o'clock in the morning, the night was already very deep. The sky was covered with dark clouds, the stars and moon were dim, and the sky and the earth were pitch black. Even if dozens of torches were placed in front of the camp gate, it was difficult to illuminate the huge Bohai Navy very far. The camp was completely silent, with only some sentries still guarding listlessly. Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
"oops……"
"ah……"
"It hurts me so much!"
The dark night, when it is difficult to see even one's fingers, is undoubtedly the favorite weather for night travelers. No, in the dead silence, dozens of masked men in black are quietly approaching the right camp of the Bohai Navy. Because of the darkness, these The masked man actually didn't even bother to perform the basic night movement of walking at a high speed, and walked forward in a swagger without worrying about alerting the sentries in the camp. However, as the saying goes, great joy must bring sorrow, and just before dozens of black-clothed masked men When the masked man walked less than fifty steps away from the Bohai Navy camp, he didn't know who took the lead. Suddenly, more than ten people started howling miserably at the same time. There was no one else around, because they all stepped on it. When it came to the caltrops, the poor soles of those masked men in black couldn't stop the punctures of the caltrops. It was inevitable to howl when the severe pain struck.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
In this silent dark night, the screams of those masked men in black were so harsh that no matter how slow the sentries in the Bohai Navy camp were, they could not help but be alarmed. In an instant, the urgent shouts And the sound of horns suddenly rang out. As a result, the masked men in black were all frightened and fled back in panic, but the left and right generals Chunyu Qiong and Wen Chou of the Jizhou Army who were originally preparing to attack were unavoidable. Everyone was dumbfounded, and for a moment they didn't know whether to attack or retreat.
"Mr. Yuan is on a good journey. There is no need to attack. I, the Bohai Navy, will see you off!"
"Mr. Yuan is relieved to withdraw his troops, as long as our troops don't pursue him!"
"Welcome to send Mr. Yuan back to Jizhou, have a good journey!"
Before Chunyu Qiong and Wen Chou could make up their minds, they heard a sudden chorus of cheers from the Bohai Navy camp. Those farewell words were like slaps on the faces of the Jizhou Army officers and soldiers. On their faces, it made all the Jizhou Army officers and soldiers feel embarrassed beyond words whether they wanted to leave or not.
"withdraw!"
"The front team changes to the back team, return to camp!"
Night attacks rely on suddenness. Now the Bohai Navy is obviously well prepared. If they attack at this time, they will simply be looking for death. Because of this, despite being full of resentment, neither Chunyu Qiong nor Wen Chou dared to act willfully. , had no choice but to give the order to withdraw, and the two night attack troops all retreated to their own camp in despair.
"Damn Gongsun, you bullied me too much, you are a thief, you are a thief!"
Although the main force of the Jizhou Army began to withdraw towards the Daqing River Ferry, Yuan Shao was sitting in the Chinese army tent in the camp. He originally wanted to wait for the good news of his victory, but unexpectedly what he was waiting for came. These were the farewell words from the Bohai Navy, which made Yuan Shao, who had always been proud and arrogant, so angry that his face turned as white as paper, and he couldn't help but swear.
"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down. Now that the traitor army is well prepared, a night attack is impossible. To prevent the traitor army from taking advantage of their plan, our army must withdraw as soon as possible."
Seeing Yuan Shaoguang getting angry without giving any instructions, Xin Pingke couldn't control himself and hurriedly gave an admonishment from the side.
"Well... pass the order, after Junyi's troops are cut off, the rest of the troops will abandon their baggage and rush towards the Daqing River Ferry!"
Yuan Shao was furious, but he was also really afraid that the Bohai Navy would suddenly attack while his troops were withdrawing. At this time, he no longer dared to hesitate. After taking pictures of the copy, he gave the order with great reluctance.
"My lord, you don't have to be like this. In my opinion, Gongsun Xiaoer really wants to let our troops evacuate safely this time. It's probably because the Black Mountain bandits have entered Youzhou in large numbers, and his brother is among the Black Mountain bandits and is the territory of Youzhou. Brother The two of them are bound to have a fight, and with our Jizhou army on our side, Gongsun Xiaoer can use our strength to fight, so there is no harm in our army retreating calmly."
Just as Yuan Shao's order was given, Ju Suoji stepped out from the side with a long stride and remonstrated loudly.
"Oh, there is something else to say, haha, interesting, very interesting!"
Hearing what Ju Shou said, Yuan Shao's eyes couldn't help but light up. In an instant, he thought of countless exploitable points in the brotherly fight. The more he thought about it, the better it became. Unconsciously, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. A few hints of a cold and sinister smile...
