Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Suffering of the People

Gongsun Xu's deployment to return to Jizhou from Zhuojun to the people was a complete failure, and no people could leave with him, not even himself. In the bloody battle under the Wuruan Pass, Lu Yi seized the Wuruan Pass, which had only more than 1,000 defenders, locked the gate, and left a sergeant outside the pass to drive the people to the east with spears and iron knives. With the battle that began in Wuruan Pass in order to clear the enemy army, the people who rushed to the gate rushed from their backs to the camp of Gongsun Xutun's soldiers, and in the chaos, Tai Shi Ci's archers drove straight in.

Gongsun Xu eventually died at the hands of the people of Zhuo County, who had harmed him, and on the chaotic battlefield, a Zhuo County Orion named Wang Zhi pierced Gongsun Yue's throat with a scattered bow and arrow ten paces away. Then, in the early morning of the next day, more than 5,000 soldiers including Lu Yi, Tai Shici, and Liu Deran were stationed in Wuruan Pass, and set fire to all the Gongsun flags under the west pass facing the direction of Jizhou.

The whole territory of Youzhou belongs to Youzhou.

However, if you look at the overall situation, Gongsun Xu's actions in Zhuojun are not without benefit to his father, Gongsun Zhan. It is precisely because Gongsun Xu punched and kicked in Zhuo County, lost the hearts of the people and lost his life, but also disrupted all the deployment of Yanbei in the western part of Youzhou, and now he is about to go off in a blink of an eye and Gongsun Zhan in the battle at the junction of Youzhou, but Daijun is still like no defense, and the two counties cannot form a corner of Zhongshan and Changshan in the north of Jizhou.

The chaotic Zhuo County almost dragged down many generals under Yanbei's command, and it was barely possible to prevent Zhuo County and Shanggu County, and it was impossible to free up his hands to divide troops to Daijun at all.

"A grandson continues, and if he dies, he won't let Yan live in peace!"

Yan Bei scolded angrily, and then sighed loudly, what kind of anger did he put with the same dead person. The war can't be a mouse, but now that a war is over, it is obvious that the death of Gongsun Xu will drag Youzhou into another war.

originally wanted to form a situation of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but it also ended because of the death of Gongsun Xu, no one can give Gongsun Chan a follow-up glory, God knows what kind of thing Gongsun Chan will do when he loses his son!

Although the news of the victory of Wuruan Pass changing the banner had just come back, Yanbei was worried about it, this bad thing in Youzhou...... Why is it endless?

"Lord, Captain Zhao sent a rider to deliver a message, the affairs of Yuyang County have been done, is he coming to Zhuo County or going somewhere else?" Gao Ran returned after a while, bringing back Zhao Yun's news, Yan Bei nodded and said: "Send a message to Zilong not to come, and directly lead the army from Shanggu County to Dai County to garrison troops...... Huh? ”

Yan Bei said, raised his head and asked Gao Ran: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how much did the people of Zhuo County lose in this war?" ”

Hearing Yan Bei ask this, Gao Ran was stunned in his heart, Yan Bei still asked, but what could he say? Heartless answer: Lost at least fifty percent? Gao Lanleng paused for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "General Hui, there are more than 240,000 people in Zhuo County, and there are still people who have fled into the mountains to avoid trouble, and they have sent sergeants to search, and many people should be able to go out of the mountains in the near future." ”

"Oh, two hundred and ninety-thousand, a lot...... That's not right, Ah Xiu, I don't know how many people there are in Zhuo County, but Fan Yang alone has nearly 150,000, and we have snatched back 100,000 of the people that Gongsun Xu plundered, so how can there be 250,000, how can it be less than this number? Is there no one in Zhuo County except Fan Yang? Yan Bei knew that this would definitely not be the result, so he stood up and pressed his hand on the desk and twisted his eyebrows and said: "Yan has thought about it, this may affect 50,000 people, but 240,000, the difference is too much, which is how many percent less than the previous people in Zhuo County?" ”

Gao Ran suddenly remembered that Yanbei had lived in Fanyang for a period of time in the past, and he should be extremely familiar with the grass and trees of Zhuo County, and seeing that he couldn't hide it, he said in a low voice: "Loss, fifty percent." ”

"What! Fifty percent? Yan Bei almost jumped up when he heard the news, Gao Ran directly said that it was less than fifty percent, and the feeling was not so strong, but if he first said that there were twenty-four thousand people, and then said that there were fifty percent less, the feeling was different, which made Yan Bei almost smash the case in front of him, and said angrily: "Yan Mou slaughtered 30,000 people in the Bone City, and 300,000 people died in Zhuo County in such a battle?" ”

Without waiting for Gao Ran to say anything, Yan Bei paced in the Chinese military tent irritably, and then said: "Not necessarily all of them are dead, there must be those who fled to Linjun, let Xu Jingshan send people to continue to search." Ah Xiu, what do you think of that Xu Jingshan as the Zhuo County Order? ”

Gao Ran knew that Yanbei was asking about how Xu Miao's county order was doing, and at the same time, he also sensed that Yanbei had new things to hand over to him in terms of task arrangement, so he nodded and said: "Although Xu Jingshan is young, he is remarkable in governance, and at the beginning of his tenure, he counted the displaced people, and collected the poor people from the ownerless fields in the army, saving a lot of food for the general. ”

"Oh?" Gao Ran's high evaluation of Xu Miao made Yan Bei stunned, he heard about Jiang Jin and Xu Miao's appearance all the way over, thinking that just after taking office in March, the state capital began to disobey the yin and yang, and sent him such a wine bag and rice bag, and forced his heart to be unhappy and asked casually: "I heard that he drank until he was drunk the day before he took office?" ”

"It's true, but it's too small to hide his talents, and he can be reused." Gao Ran's bitter answer dispelled Yan Bei's doubts, and nodded: "Then let him treat the mess of Zhuo County first, if he is really talented, Yan will not treat him badly in the future...... In addition, Ah Xiu, you take over the defense of Wuruan Pass, let General Koji go to Dai County, and guard the southern gateway of Youzhou together, and there is no need to think about attacking Changshan and Zhao County at the moment, as long as you can hold the second county of Zhuo Dai, Yan will be satisfied! ”

They all understood what they were going to face next, Gao Ran did not hesitate, and immediately promised: "No! ”

After explaining these things, Yanbei beckoned Gao Ran to go out of the tent together, and inspected several large camps outside Zhuo County under the protection of Dian Wei and other personal guards. Now the city of Zhuoxian has not been repaired, tens of thousands of people are in the field outside the city, every morning fog is misty and the tide rises at night, and then the people have to die of illness and most of them, so the soldiers of Gao Ran in addition to sending out the mountains to find the people, is to take the strong men of the people to cut wood outside the city, in order to be able to collect enough wood for the people of Zhuo County to build houses as soon as possible.

The chaotic era is the soil of careerists, Zhuo County was greatly damaged by the disaster of Gongsun Xu, but it gave Yanbei a good opportunity to recruit high-quality soldiers, since Gao Ran erected a recruitment list in Zhuo County, the people who had just returned from the counties and townships came to recruit in an endless stream, and those young people who were rescued by the Yan army have defected to Yanbei.

In the blink of an eye, Youzhou has more than 19,000 villagers in training, they have the courage to be the enemy of Gongsun Zhan, and they only need good training and refined armor to become brave warriors fighting under the banner of the Yan clan!
