…………………………………………………………………………………………

On the first day of the third month of the first year of the Han Dynasty (192 AD), in the early morning, the Qing Pavilion.

Like an angry tiger, Gongsun Chan roared loudly, and his hoarse cry spread far away with the howling cold wind.

The guards guarding the perimeter of the tent looked nervous and uneasy.

"Yuan Benchu, this bastard, dared to lie to me. I will kill him at once, I will skin him and destroy his people. Gongsun Zhan's eyes were cracked, and he kept waving his hands, scolding loudly and angrily, and walking around the big tent excitedly.

Yan Gang, Shan Jing and others were also scolding on the side. A military horse in untidy armor knelt on the ground, and Guan Jing was leaning over and whispering a question.

Gongsun Zhan led the army to attack and kill all the way today, advancing for forty miles in a row. When he arrived at Qingting, he saw that twilight was approaching, and immediately ordered the army to camp and prepare for another battle tomorrow. Due to the very limited weight of grain and grass carried by the army, after nightfall, he hurriedly ordered people to rush back to Ganling City overnight to urge the transportation of grain and grass.

Guan Jing reminded him that the army was now fighting at the boundary bridge, and it was a hundred miles away from Ganling City, and it was impossible to protect Ganling City, so the garrison of Ganling City was very important. In order not to reduce the garrison army in the city, it is better to send a group of soldiers and horses back to escort grain and grass.

So Gongsun Zhan sent a military Sima to return to Ganling City with 2,000 men.

When they arrived at Xifeng Pavilion, this army was suddenly ambushed and almost wiped out.

Guan Jing asked again: "Have you seen clearly, is it indeed the army of Jizhou?" Is it Yuan Shao's centaurs? ”

The military Sima looked at Gongsun Chan timidly and nodded again and again.

Guan Jing waved his hand to let him retreat, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Lord, send someone to Xifeng Pavilion to investigate." ”

"Brother Shiqi, are we going to call back overnight?" Yan Gang asked, "We don't have much food and grass, I'm afraid it's difficult to persevere." ”

"Nope." Gongsun Zhan said loudly, "If we fight back, we just fell for Li Yi and Yuan Shao's tricks." Gongsun Chan patted the map on the desk hard, "This place is thirty miles away from the Cloud Pavilion and forty miles away from the Xifeng Pavilion." If the army is trapped between the Cloud Pavilion and the Xifeng Pavilion, we will be dead. ”

"What does the lord mean......" Yan Gang looked at the map suspiciously, and asked cautiously, "Continue to attack Li Yi?" ”

"Yes, we've been fighting and crossing the bridge." Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth, "At all costs, break through first." As long as we cross the Qing River, we can go north through Anping Country and quickly get out of danger. ”

"The lord is right." Guan Jing agreed, "This place is ten miles away from the boundary bridge, and the distance to break through is very short. In addition, although the Northern Xinjiang Army was defeated and lured by deception today, they paid a great price for this, and their strength was reduced to a certain extent. In comparison, we are more sure to beat Li Yi than Yuan Shao. ”

"Fighting the boundary bridge, we and Li Yi are fighting to the death, this is the result that Yuan Shao is willing to see, so he will not actively participate in the siege in the short term." Guan Jing pointed to the map and continued, "We immediately sent a detachment of men and horses to Yunting to block the Jizhou army. Tomorrow, we will concentrate all our forces on attacking the Qinghe River and strive to cross the river north and break through as soon as possible. ”

Singular presented a different view. He said: "The strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army is obvious to all, and they also have the natural barrier of the Qing River, once the attack of the army is blocked and blocked on the south bank of the Qing River, our situation will be even more difficult." And Yuan Shao's troops did not exceed 50,000 at most. He wants to besiege Ganling City again, and he wants to block us at Xifeng Pavilion, and his troops are obviously insufficient. ”

"In addition, breaking through from the direction of Xifeng Pavilion, the terrain is more conducive to our attack. From here to the Qinghe country, there is no river, and the army can advance smoothly. After we defeat Yuan Shao, we can quickly get the replenishment of grain and grass in Ganling City, and we can regroup our troops and fight again with Li Yi and Yuan Shao. In the later stage, even if we want to retreat to the Bohai Sea, we can retreat safely. ”

Guan Jing objected: "The Northern Xinjiang Army on the opposite side only has more than 20,000 people, and its strength is less than that of Yuan Shao. If we fight Li Yi, Yuan Shao will not immediately do his best to participate in the siege, but if we want to fight Yuan Shao, Li Yi will definitely take the opportunity to pounce and eat us. As for the grain and grass, what the army itself brought and what the Northern Frontier Army discarded could last about five or six days. In these five or six days, because we have to fight fiercely, the number of troops will be drastically reduced, so that we will hold out longer. For such a long time, can't we still defeat the Northern Frontier Army and cross the boundary bridge? ”

"But after three or four days, if we haven't crossed the Qing River, Yuan Shao will definitely attack, and by then we have become the end of the crossbow, how to deal with ......" Shan Jing asked worriedly.

"According to the time calculation, the Yellow River will open soon, and Tian Kai and Liu Bei will be able to rush to Qinghe Country immediately." Gongsun Zan sneered, "Gaotang City is only a hundred miles away from Qinghe Kingdom, Tian Kai and Liu Bei are here in an instant, I don't believe that Yuan Shao has such courage to dare to launch a siege on me under such circumstances." ”

"Yuan Shao is a fox, and he won't do anything that suffers." Guan Jing said with a smile, "As long as we hold on to Yunting and don't retreat, and consume a lot of his troops, Yuan Shao will immediately retract." We retreated to Bohai and Hejian, the Northern Frontier Army occupied the four counties in the western part of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao occupied Wei County, Anping and Qinghe. Jizhou is divided into three, and it will be lively in the future. ”

"Immediately send someone to Gaotang and ask Tian Kai and Liu Bei to come to the aid quickly." Gongsun Chan waved his hand and said resolutely, "As soon as the sky dawns, we storm the boundary bridge. ”

………………

In the early hours of the morning, shelter from the wind.

Yesterday, Liu Bei took the lead in crossing the Yellow River with 2,000 men and horses, crossed the big river close to the Yellow River, and arrived safely at the shelter and camped.

Inside the tent, the candles were lit up. Liu Bei, Zhu Ling, Jian Yong and others sat around a pot of charcoal fire, laughing and talking in low voices.

In December last year, after Tian Kai and Liu Bei led their troops to kill the Yellow River, they fought dozens of battles, large and small, not with hardship. Many times the soldiers fought bloody battles with the Yellow Turban Army in the ice and snow, and because the soldiers of the Allied Army were more adapted to this cold climate than the Yellow Turban Army, they won successive battles and sang triumphant songs all the way. The Yellow Turban tribes stationed in the four counties in the northern part of Yanzhou were dealt a heavy blow. The Yellow Turbans could not resist, and with low morale, they fled south.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan's letter arrived, and in the absence of any holy decree, he appointed Tian Kai as the assassin of Yanzhou and Zou Jing as the minister of Jibei in his capacity as a general of Fenwu.

At the same time, Gongsun Chan described the recent situation in Jizhou in detail in his letter. The hussar general has reached the boundary bridge, and a major battle between the Northern Frontier Army and the Gongsun Army is inevitable, so please ask the two brothers to go north quickly to help.

Tian Kai and Liu Bei immediately discussed sending troops north to help Gongsun Zan attack Li Yi and Yuan Shao.

In the course of the three-month conquest, Tian Kai and Liu Bei's armies had considerable losses. In order to replenish their troops, the two recruited more than 30,000 people from the Yellow Turban captives along the way, so that the strength of the southbound army quickly reached 50,000. Tian Kai was short on money, and he bluntly told the soldiers that at present, the society is in danger, and the Han Dynasty is about to be overthrown. Since this body can sacrifice his life for the country, what do you need money for? So you go back and tell the soldiers that there is no military pay, and now everyone can eat a full stomach, which is very good. In the future, when Yanzhou is stable and the society is stable, everyone will have money.

There are 50,000 troops, but they can't all go north to support, considering the safety of Yanzhou, considering the Yellow Turban Army that is eyeing the sidelines, we must leave a part of the army to garrison Yanzhou, otherwise these months will be in vain.

Tian Kai decided to leave 30,000 troops to garrison the four counties of Yanzhou, and Liu Bei led 10,000 troops to Pingyuan County to prepare for crossing the river, and he led 10,000 troops to arrive later. Zou Jing stayed in Lu County, Jibei Province, and presided over the affairs of Yanzhou.

A few days after Liu Bei arrived in Gaotang City, the Yellow River opened.

Liu Bei chatted with everyone for a while, and then the topic turned to the battle in Jizhou.

In the past two years, Yanzhou has been full of smoke, and the people have either fled to death or been coerced away by the Yellow Turban Army, the fields are barren, there is no harvest, and there is no money and food at all. If Yanzhou wants to regain its vitality, it must get help from Jizhou.

At present, the grain and grass needed by the 20,000 army can only be replenished in Qinghe Kingdom, so everyone is very anxious to rush to Ganling City to meet Gongsun Zhan.

However, thinking that the hussar general Li Yi was at the boundary bridge, Liu Bei and everyone felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. However, in Liu Bei's heart, he was very reluctant to go to war with Li Yi, Li Yi on the battlefield was too powerful, and there was basically no possibility of victory in a war with him.

The curtain was opened, the cold wind was howling, and the charcoal flames rushed towards Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who was bowing his head and pondering, was shocked and raised his head suddenly.

A sweaty scout half-knelt on the ground and said breathlessly, "Report to the lord, it's not good." ”

Jian Yong waved his hand and smiled softly: "Speak slowly, don't panic." It can't be the Northern Xinjiang Army that kills outside the camp, right? ”

The scout wiped the sweat from his head and said in horror: "Lord, the Northern Frontier Army has surrounded Ganling City. ”

Liu Bei and everyone were shocked and stood up together.

Liu Bei pointed his finger at the scout and asked sharply, "The news is accurate?" ”

"The villain saw it with his own eyes." The scout hurriedly said, "Yesterday, together with a few brothers, I was ordered to investigate in the direction of Ganling City. In the afternoon, we found the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army fifty miles away from Ganling City. I quietly followed, and when I arrived near Ganling City, I found that tens of thousands of northern Xinjiang troops had surrounded Ganling City. ”

Liu Bei and several of his subordinates looked at each other with shocked expressions.

Gongsun Chan is in danger.

"My lord, General Gongsun's army has been confronting the Northern Frontier Army at Xifeng Pavilion, which is directly north of Ganling City. Xifeng Pavilion is fifty miles away from Ganling City, which means ......" The muscles on Jian Yong's face twitched twice, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, "General Gongsun is surrounded. ”

When Liu Bei rebelled in Zhuo County, he was with Liu Bei. He also knew Li Yi. At this moment, his heart was full of awe and fear for Li Li Yi. Gongsun Chan had an army of 100,000 and occupied an absolute advantage on the battlefield, but within ten days of the war between the two sides, Gongsun Chan was surrounded, which was unbelievable.
