"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and still haven't been able to see Yuan Tan in person. I really feel unworthy of my lord's great trust and I feel ashamed of myself."
On the south bank of the Luoshui River, in the Chinese military tent of the Youzhou Army Camp, facing Gongsun Ming who was sitting behind a copywriter, Xue Yi had a look of shame on his face. He was walking on both sides of the Luoshui River. It has been more than ten days, but Yuan Tan has not even been seen in person. Let's forget about the past. We can also comfort ourselves by saying that our own troops are weaker than the opponent's. But now, Gongsun Mingdu has personally brought a large army to drive away. Later, the total military strength was no longer under Yuan Tan's command, and their combat effectiveness was far superior to that of the other party. However, he still couldn't force Yuan Tan to show up. As the ambassador to welcome the bride, Xue Yi felt that he had no face to face his lord.
"It doesn't matter. It's been a long and hard day. From tomorrow on, we don't have to run in both directions anymore. I and Daoyuan can just wait here for the Yuan family to come and beg for mercy."
Hearing that Xue Yi went to Yuan Tan's army and was rejected again, all the generals in the tent were furious. On the contrary, Gongsun Ming, the party involved in the wedding, was indifferent. And this was not a pretense. The one who came out didn't mind, but was really calm, probably because he had long seen through the true face of politics. In the face of absolute interests, let alone benevolence, justice and morality, even family affection was just a bargaining chip to be sold. But oneself.
"My lord, Yuan Tan's dog thief is too rude. We worked hard to regain Qingzhou for him. It's okay not to be grateful. Instead, he humiliates us like this. This is unbearable. In the end, I will ask for orders to cross the river and fight. It will be called That kid knows the majesty of my Youzhou cavalry!"
"My lord, General Gao is right. We fought life and death for his Yuan family, but Yuan Tan Shuzi dares to retaliate with kindness. It is really abominable. I am willing to fight to the death across the river. Please forgive me, lord!"
"Lord, we are all willing to fight Yuan Tan to the bitter end!"
Just because Gongsun Ming didn't mind, it didn't mean that his subordinates could tolerate it. No, Gongsun Ming had just finished speaking. Before Xue Yi had agreed to step down, Gao Lan was the first to jump. When he came out, he shouted with murderous aura that he was going to cross the river to kill the thieves. As soon as he took the lead, Zhang Biao and others immediately came out to ask for a fight. In the end, not even one of them stood still. Zhao Yun also showed an expression of eagerness to try.
"It's good that you have the courage to fight. However, after all, this is a wedding of a certain person. It's not a good idea to start a big fight. Moreover, there is no need to wait. Yuan Tan's son will definitely send someone here early in the morning at the latest. Please forgive me, if you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
Although the Battle of Fangcheng was about to begin, even if the news was leaked at this time, the Yuan family would not have time to notify the Chengjun headquarters that they had joined the camp. However, the military's priority was to allow no mistakes, even if everyone present was He was an important general in the army, and Gongsun Ming would not reveal the mystery, but instead gave an astonishing judgment with a smile.
"My lord, someone in the general's camp is spreading a rumor that Yuan Benchu has sent a large army to kill Jixian, saying that Shen Fei's troops have been defeated. It is also said that Military Advisor Pang has also defeated Junmi City. Although the general and others are I don’t believe it, but I am afraid that if the three of them become a tiger, if the morale of the army is in chaos, it will be really bad."
Hearing that Gongsun Ming planned to subdue the enemy without a fight, although the generals were doubtful about this, no one dared to speak out to get to the bottom of it. The noise in the tent suddenly stopped, but unexpectedly, a song that had not been spoken before was heard. However, Zhao Yun snatched it out from the side at this moment and reported it solemnly.
"Oh, Zilong, don't worry. This rumor is just spread by Yuan Benchu. Only half of it is true. That is, Yuan Benchu did send an army of 60,000 soldiers led by Chengjun to brazenly invade our Youzhou, and even Bingzhou. The governor's senior cadres have crossed Jingxing Pass and are marching towards Changshan. Not only that, Gongsundu of Liaodong secretly dispatched more than 80 boats to bravely cross the sea and attack our Yuyang Salt Farm in an attempt to use the Yuyang Salt Farm as a base. foundation, go north to Ji County and cut off the foundation of our Youzhou Army."
When Zhao Yun said this, the expressions of all the generals in the tent changed unconsciously. It was obvious that they had heard the relevant rumors, and they could not help but worry that the rumors might come true. They looked at Gongsun Ming in his eyes. They all had a hint of worry, but they never thought that Gongsun Ming not only refused to refute the rumors, but instead followed Zhao Yun's words and told more serious facts.
"Buzz..."
The generals never expected that the situation in Youzhou would be so serious. When the pot exploded, there was a loud and chaotic discussion, and it turned into a noise.
"Are you afraid, gentlemen?"
Gongsun Ming didn't pay attention to the chaos of the generals, and always sat firmly without moving. After the generals gradually calmed down, he asked a question calmly.
"My lord, Youzhou is the foundation of our army and there is absolutely no room for failure. I will lead my troops to come back for reinforcements. I also ask for your permission, lord!"
As soon as Gongsun Ming finished speaking, Gao Lan stood up proudly and immediately invited himself.
"My lord, I will never stay here for long. Our army sets out at this moment to destroy all the enemies. No matter how late it is, we may overturn the nest!"
"Yes, Lord, our army has many horses. At this time, the returning army will arrive at Jixian County in a few days. With the strength of our army, it is not difficult to destroy the enemy!"
"It's not too late, my lord, please make a decision as soon as possible."
Not only Gao Lan was worried about losing his foundation, but Zhang Biao and others were also the same. Although he was a little surprised that his always wise and mighty lord could make the big mistake of empty nest, he didn't think about it carefully, and just spoke out one after another. He came to remonstrate.
"Ha ha……"
Long before convening the generals to discuss matters, Gongsun Ming had received a secret report from the Military Intelligence Bureau. He knew that the Liaodong Army's sneak attack force had been basically wiped out. He also knew that Zhang He's troops were rapidly heading north. He was just waiting to deliver a fatal blow to Chengjun. The reason why he was not in a hurry to tell the truth was that, firstly, he wanted to draw out Yuan Jun's hidden stakes in the camp to eliminate hidden dangers in the army. Secondly, he wanted to see Seeing whether the generals were of the same mind as Gongsun Ming in the face of a life-and-death crisis, now that both goals had been basically achieved, Gongsun Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and all the generals were filled with confusion. Water, I couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Gongsun Ming’s gourd.
"To be honest, the situation in Youzhou has changed as expected. A few days ago, Junyi secretly led eight thousand cavalry to the north. According to the news this morning, Junyi's troops have defeated the Liaodong Army that crossed the river. , captured more than 13,000 men under Gongsun Gong, the son of Gongsun Du, alive, and killed more than 1,300 in the west. In addition, they also captured more than ten ships in the west of Liaodong Zhoushi Tower. As for Chengjun's troops, hey, they have already entered How can I say that I am lucky enough to be honest? Please just wait and see."
Gongsun Ming did not let the generals think too much. He smiled and told the military information he knew. Among them, the fact that the Liaodong Army's sneak attack troops were defeated had become a fact. He naturally did not care about revealing the results of the battle. The military headquarters has not happened yet, but it has just been brushed off.
"My lord is wise!"
Hearing what Gongsun Ming said, the generals were pleasantly surprised, and their original worries immediately disappeared, and the sounds of praise immediately started...
