"My lord, it is gratifying that our army has won consecutive battles. However, arrogant soldiers are undesirable. If the rebel army is defeated in a row, they may launch a dangerous night attack. Please make preparations in advance, lord."
Both the northern and southern fronts were in a state of great victory, and Pang Tong was naturally very excited, but he was not dazzled by the victory. Seeing that Gongsun Ming was overjoyed, he immediately reminded him from the side. road.
"What the military advisor said is true. To win a new victory, we must prevent the camp from being robbed. In this case, we might as well give Gongsun Du a general plan and make it right. What does the military advisor think?"
Hearing Pang Tong's suggestion, Gongsun Ming's ecstatic heart immediately calmed down. He frowned slightly. He had a plan in mind, but he did not rush to make a decision. Instead, he left the problem to Pang Tong. .
"Since our army has won a great victory, we should have a good time to celebrate. What do you think, my lord?"
Pang Tong did not answer, but asked rhetorically with a smile.
"Haha... Okay, come here, pass the order; reward the three armies, one pig, five sheep, and enough white buns for each camp!"
Talking to smart people is simple. You don’t need to spell out the words clearly. Just a little bit and you can understand each other. No, Pang Tong only asked this question. Gongsun Mingdang burst out laughing and said it easily. After receiving the general's order, not long after, as the order was conveyed to each battalion, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the entire army immediately burst into joy, and the noise reached the sky...
"Reward the three armies? What does Gongsun Ming want to do?"
The noise coming from the Youzhou Army camp was so loud that the defenders in the city naturally did not dare to ignore it. They quickly sent spies to find out the truth and reported it to Gongsun Du in time. No one knew about it yet. Gongsun Du, who had been completely ruined on the southern front, was puzzled. He frowned and thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't get it.
Although there are many smart people in Gongsun Du's account, in the absence of information, how can we figure out the reason for the Qingyou Prefecture Army's grand celebration? Naturally, no one dares to say anything about Gongsun Du's doubts and remains silent. It has become the unanimous choice of all civil and military personnel.
"Report, my lord, it's not good. The Song Dynasty opened the city and surrendered without authorization, and the Liao army city has fallen into the hands of the traitors."
Just as the Liaodong civil and military officers were pretending to be wooden figures, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and a school captain, dripping with sweat, stumbled up to the hall, shouting with a look of panic on his face. A voice.
"What? How could this happen? Tell me clearly!"
Hearing what the famous captain said, Gongsun Du's eyes turned red on the spot. In shock, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the famous captain's chest. He was so angry that he yelled, "What's going on?" I can't blame Gongsun Du for being so frightened. It's probably because the Liao Army and Qujiu City are both satellite cities of Xiangping City. They guard Xiangping City in the center from the south to the north. The strategic position is extremely important. Now that the Liao Army is gone, the horns of the Chinese character The situation has been broken, and the Youzhou Army can confidently and boldly launch a siege on Xiangping City. As far as the Youzhou Army can take down the offensive power of Xiandu City, which is not under Xiangping City, in one day, Gongsun I really can't imagine that Xiangping City can be defended for a few days.
"My lord, please calm down. The thief general Zhang He led his army to capture the three cities of Anshi, Pingguo, and Fangxian. Commander Gongsun and other city guards were all killed by the thief army. At noon today, the thief general invaded the city of Liao army in large numbers. , when the heads of Commander Gongsun and others were displayed to the public, the capital of Song Dynasty was frightened and surrendered without a fight. When the general saw that something was wrong, he stole out of the south gate and desperately rushed to return the message. Please take precautions in advance, my lord."
Seeing Gongsun Du being so furious, the captain who came to report the news was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, but he did not dare to delay for a moment, so he could only stammer the brief story of the surrender of the capital of Song Dynasty. Come out authentically.
"You bastard, you are a thief in the capital of Song Dynasty. You are extremely shameless. You dare to betray your master and ask for glory. Damn it. Come here, send an order to kill the entire Song family. No one will be spared!"
After listening to the captain's report, Gongsun Du finally understood why the Youzhou Army was celebrating so loudly. The anger in his heart suddenly burst out uncontrollably. He pushed the captain to the ground and stamped his feet. Then he roared, and the commander of the personal guards who was accompanying him rushed away as promised. Seeing this, the pale faces of all the civil and military personnel could not help but become a bit paler, and they could not help but feel a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox. It was a big deal, but seeing how furious Gongsun Du was, no one dared to stand up and intercede for the Song family at this time.
"Father, please calm down. The matter is urgent. We must make preparations in advance."
Gongsun Kang still had some military acumen. When he saw that his father was only venting his anger, but without the slightest determination to defend against the enemy, he immediately lost his temper and hurriedly gave a word of advice from the side.
"Um?"
Gongsun Du was in the heat of the moment, and when his son interrupted him, his eyes immediately widened, showing that he was looking for someone to devour.
"Father, the bandits must be arrogant after they have won great victories one after another. Now, if we attack them at night with our troops, they will surely win a great victory. Please give me a clear judgment, father."
Now that they were at the end of their rope, Gongsun Kang couldn't care less about his father's dignity, so he immediately came up with a plan to attack at night.
"Night attack? Hmm..."
Hearing what Gongsun Kang said was reasonable, Gongsun Du immediately raised his eyebrows and really started to think about it. However, he couldn't help but worry that he would be ambushed by the Youzhou Army. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't Dare to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, I think what the eldest son said is true. Now the enemy is strong and it is unfavorable to fight with force. The only way to defeat it is by surprise. If we can severely damage the Youzhou bandit army, our Xiangping City can still be saved for a while. If you are careful, your Excellency can take this opportunity to contact Goguryeo, Xianbei and other ethnic groups to come to our aid. As long as we promise heavy profits, we don’t have to worry about these barbarians not being able to fight to the death."
Seeing that Gongsun Du didn't respond for a long time, Liang Mao couldn't stand it anymore, but when he saw him stepping out from the side proudly, he remonstrated impassionedly.
"Well... Come here, pass the order: From now on, the entire city will be under martial law, and the west gate will be closed tightly. Without someone's handwriting, anyone who dares to open the city without permission will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing that Liang Mao also advocated a night attack, Gongsun Du did not hesitate any more. Although he was not in a hurry to arrange a night attack, the ordering of martial law showed that he was determined to attack at night.
"My lord is wise!"
Among the people present, not many people actually guessed Gongsun Du's thoughts. Most of the civil and military officials were still confused and confused at this time. However, since Gongsun Du had made a decision, the civil and military officials did not dare to If you take it lightly, it is natural to praise them all...
