Chapter 42: Defeat the Coalition
Tian Feng and Guan Hai set out from Xiangping to conquer the powerful families of various counties, but they did not encounter strong enemies along the way, but it was difficult to move an inch when they were blocked in Xuansu County.
On this day, the two were discussing in the camp, and Guan Hai said, "Now we have been on the expedition for more than a month, but now it is difficult to move an inch under this Gaojuli City, Mr. can have a second count"?
Tian Feng also frowned and said after a long time, "Xuansu Taishou is a local Gongsun clan, and he has been gathered here for many years, and now he can't hold on to it with Liaodong Xianbei and Goguryeo, so I can't do anything for the time being, let me go back and think about it."
Guan Hai replied, "Okay, sir, also pay attention to your body, don't stay up too late."
Tian Feng and Guan Hai couldn't get a result after discussing it, so they went back to prepare.
At this time, in the city of Goguryi, Gongsun Chen was feasting on Liaodong Xianbei Tuoba Wu and Goguryeo male martial arts.
Gongsun Chen said, "Thank you for coming to help, I would like to give you a drink."
Tuoba Wu raised his glass and said, "Lord Gongsun is polite, small things are not enough to worry about, but I don't know when the grain, grass and weapons promised by Lord Gongsun will be delivered"?
Nanwu also chimed in and said, "Yes! Lord Gongsun, we have been helping to defend the city for many days, and there is a shortage of food in the army, and we are counting on the relief of adults!"
Gongsun Chen replied, "Don't worry, the promised Ben Taishou will definitely do it, I will first send people to send 50,000 stone of grain to each department, and the rest will be sent to all departments together after being repulsed."
Tuoba Wu and Nan Wu said happily, "Since this is the case, then I will thank Lord Gongsun."
Gongsun Chen said, "Tomorrow's battle will depend on you a lot."
Tuoba Wu said, "Don't worry, Lord Gongsun, tomorrow I will lead the Xianbei warriors out of the city to level the Guanhai Division, so that they will not dare to attack from now on."
Gongsun Chen said, "Good! I salute you and congratulate the leader of Murong on his triumphant return in advance."
After the banquet was dispersed, Gongsun Chen found his henchman Gongsun Du and said, "Today's banquet that Xianbei and Goguryeo are obviously unbearable, tomorrow we will go out of the city to fight, so keep holding on, I am afraid that we will fall behind in their eyes, and even if they retreat from Guanhai, they will become fat in the eyes of Xianbei and Goguryeo in the future."
(Gongsun Cheng had a son, Gongsun Leopard, but died young.) Gongsun Du is about the same as Gongsun Leopard, so Gongsun Chen regards Gongsun Du as his own son. Gongsun Du is brave and strategic, but narrow-minded and conceited. )
Gongsun Du said, "Our army only has 5,000 men, although Xianbei and Goguryeo each have 30,000, but they are all a group of rabble, and there is still some combat power to defend the city.
Gongsun Chen thought for a while and said, "In this case, tomorrow Du'er will lead 4,000 soldiers to defend the city, and I will go out of the city with Tuoba Wu, Nanwu and others, what do you think?"
Gongsun Du said, "Since my father has decided, when I go out of the city tomorrow to face the battle, I should be cautious, and if the situation is not right, I will return to the city immediately."
Gongsun Chen said, "Okay, don't worry, Du'er, I will act when I see the opportunity."
The next day, Tian Feng and Guan Hai came to the city as usual to call for battle, Guan Hai stepped forward and scolded, "Gongsun Chen, you colluded with foreign races to oppress my Han people, if Wei arrives today, don't come out quickly and tie your hands."
Guan Hai scolded for a while, and when he saw that no one in the city answered, he thought that he was going to be busy today.
Suddenly, the city gate opened, and the soldiers in the city rushed out, and Guan Hai immediately retreated to the front of the battle when he saw this.
I saw a person walking out of the enemy formation and said, "Guan Hai, you led the troops to commit my Xuansu County for no reason, and I will go to Luoyang to sue you and other crimes in the coming day."
Guan Hai immediately stepped forward and shouted, "No guts rats, don't talk about collusion with foreign races, you are still reversing black and white here, report your name quickly, Uncle Guan, I will not kill the nameless person."
The angry man shouted, "I am Xuansu's Taishou Gongsun Chen, whoever comes forward to kill this thief will be rewarded with a hundred gold."
I saw a rider rushing out in front of the Xianbei array and shouting, "A certain is the first warrior of Xianbei, and the thief will die"!
After saying that, the two of them slapped their horses and fought together, only to see the two of them fighting back and forth. When the battle reached the thirty rounds, Guan Hai pretended to run out of strength, rode his horse and retreated, Natuoba's face was happy, and he stepped forward to chase after him.
In the Xianbei array, he saw that Tuoba Li's arrow fell off his horse, and immediately rushed out to save Tuoba Li.
Seeing this, Guan Hai galloped to Tuobali's side, cut off his head with a knife, and then rode back to the front of the formation.
Tuoba Wu saw it and shouted angrily, "Li'er, I will avenge you for my husband, the Xianbei warriors listen to the order, kill the enemy generals, seal the leader, and let the beauties in the clan choose, give me a charge!"
Tian Feng was overjoyed when he saw the Xianbei army rushing towards him, and rode his horse to Guan Hai's side and whispered.
After listening to this, Guan Hai led the soldiers to meet Xianbei, because of the heavy reward of Tuoba Wu, Xianbei was extremely brave.
At the end of the battle, Guan Hai shouted, "The enemy is brave, retreat, retreat quickly"!
When the Han army heard the order, they immediately formed a formation and slowly retreated, Tuoba Wu saw that he immediately led the army to catch up, and Guan Hai saw that Xianbei was chasing after him, so he ordered the whole army to abandon Zizhong and retreat at a faster pace.
Seeing Xianbei's great victory, Nanwu was snatching Zizhong at this time, and immediately shouted, "Warriors, victory is just around the corner, rush me!"
At this time, when Guan Hai led the army to retreat to a canyon, he turned around and laughed and shouted, "You and other foreign races have fallen into the plan of my husband, and the whole army will listen to the order, and the meritorious deeds will be made at this time, follow me to kill back"!
When Tuoba Wu heard this, he sighed in his heart, and was just about to order a retreat, when he saw arrows raining down on the mountains on both sides, so he shouted, "Fallen into the despicable plan of the Han people, the warriors retreat quickly, retreat quickly"!
But at this time, Xianbei saw Goguryeo joining the robbery, and everyone had no intention of fighting at all, just caring about grabbing more things.
The Han army only reacted when they chased and killed in front of them, and those who reacted quickly immediately picked up their weapons to counterattack, and those who reacted slowly were hacked to the ground on the spot.
In this way, Guan Hai led the army to turn back and chase all the way to the Xianbei Goguryeo Division, because the Han army had strict military discipline, there was no robbery on the road.
Gongsun Chen saw Guan Hai retreating, and before he was happy for a while, someone came to report that the plan of Guan Hai in Xianbei and Goguryeo had been defeated and defeated.
Gongsun Chen shouted, "Hurry, go and meet them"!
At this time, Gongsun Chen led the soldiers to see the Xianbei and Goguryeo departments, and they were scattered by their rout, and in desperation, they could only lead dozens of guards around him to retreat into the city.
Tuoba Wu, Nanwu and others watched Guan Hai's slaughter all the way, and in desperation, they could only lead the remnants to withdraw to their respective territories.
Guan Hai pursued all the way to the city before collecting his troops and returning to the camp.
At this time in the camp, Guan Hai said happily, "Mr.'s plan is really powerful, today is really painful to kill, and the bad luck of the past few days has finally been vented"!
Tian Feng said, "After this battle, Gongsun Chen and others were no longer able to defend the city, and Xuansu County was already in the bag."
After listening to this, Guan Hai said, "Sir, don't worry, tomorrow I will lead the troops to attack the city, and I will definitely take the city!"
Tian Feng hurriedly said, "No, no, the upper will attack the heart, the lower will attack the city, and someone will sacrifice the city in three days."
Guan Hai asked suspiciously, "Does Mr. have any good plans, let's share them together."
Tian Feng stepped forward and whispered in Guan Hai's ear, and Guan Hai exclaimed, "Okay! Good! The talent of the gentleman is truly unrivaled"!
Tian Feng said with a smile on his face, "General Guan has fought hard today, go back and rest early, and you will continue to contribute tomorrow."
Tian Feng got out of Guanhai Village, inspected the barracks, and went back to sleep, but Gongsun Chen couldn't sleep all night at this time.
